Mlt) JutrUigcnrcr ATLANTA. GEORGIA. Wednesday* April 13, 1870. •» HiiloiicDt." Tbe sixth number ot this able writer’s notes on the railway situation of Georgia, will be jouml in this morning’s issue of the Intelli gencer. In it there is much valuable informa tion as well as wise reflections, which ourread- prfl would do well to note, and our legislators to heed. The writer, it will be seen, expresses re gret that his last two numbers have not been as generally published by the preasof the Wale,, ** liia previous ones. We trust tins will not he the case with the number we publish to-day, lor n contains, as did each of its predecessors matter of lar more interest to the people oi the Bin.-, rban most of the be»t selections they can make from their exchanges, for either the m»lruc ion ot amusement of their readers. San Don>lMS°. The New Vork Herald is enthusiastic on the subject of the annexation of San Domingo to lbe United States and stands by President Grant bravely on the lalter’s desire to add this other “ gem of the oeean ’’ to his dominions. It says “ the possession of St. Domingo would be tt flank movement upon Cuba and tlic other rich islands ol the West Indies. They would fail into our bauds in a short time. '1 hen the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean sea would be come merely American lakes and the United States would Ire, in a military and naval point of view impregnable in this hemisphere. Such is the destiny of this great republic as General Grant contemplates it, and such is the compre hensive jiolicy lie has laid down tor li'ts adminis tration. He is grieved that a career ol empire and wealth so glorious should be obstructed by the short-sighted men ol Hie Senate. Let him persevere, however, and, il necessary to carry out his views, reorganize his Cabinet and break down the political influence ol t hose opposed to him. lie is right, and it he will act boldly the country will sustain him.” If the possession ol that island will accom plish all that the Jlerald thinks it will, it is strange that the Senate halts between two opinions upon it, or that the President has not been able to iuflueuce that body, with allliis ex ertions to do so, to decide at once and finally u)>on the measure of annexation. At any price, so far as money is concerned, if il will accom plish the half of what the Herald thinks it will, there should be no delay on the part of the ben- ate to ratify the treaty. But we apprehend that paper has looked only npon “ the i right side ol the picture,” while the Senate sees its cvery- side, and hence the delay. Eventually, we have no doubt, San Domingo will become a com ponent part of this huge American Republic. Unseaato liable. Recently the weather has been very unsea sonable here. It begins to moderate, however, and yesterday felt something like spring. April thus far has played many fantastic tricks, and tooled many of the weatherwise here and in the North. A few days ago she treated New York city to a furious snow storm, and, accord ing to the papers there, “ took up the work of winter left unfinished by March, and with a good will to supply all that is left to be supplied of the deficiencies ot December, January, and February. The snow storm of yesterday would have done honor to December, January, or February, but was rather an extraordinary ac companiment ot the Connecticut April election. We suppose now that (lie winter is nearly over; but as it did not fairly begin till about the mid dle ot February, it may poreibly bold on till the end of May. Since the annexation of Alaska, in short, there is no telling, even in New York, the begluniug or ending ot winter.” Neither is there anything, in these degenerate days,to tell when winter is to end in Atlanta. For several years past .spring was but tor a few days From winter, the season once known as spring is skipped over, and summer begins to reign As change is the order of nature, possibly we are to have no more spring. LIUle Comfort. The Louisville Courier-Journal says that a gentleman from an adjoining State writes to it as follows: “ I am a miserable man. My only son is not quite eight years of age, and yet he not only swears and chews tobacco, but lie persists in parting his hair in the middle and in declaring that his mother has a better right to the ballot than I have. Tell me, for heaven’s sake, what -shall I do with him V” “Hero,” says that paper in response, “ is a man who could pay the luueral expenses ot an eight-year old boy without teetiug it, and yet he asks us that question.” We would advise the cowhide freely laid upon the back of such a young cub as the proper remedy for his disease. Let the “ miserable man ” try it, and save the “ luueral expenses ” tor another occasion. Calient I A in nest)'. The opposition li> general amnesty is increas ing at Washington. It was only two weeks ago that the President infornn d Senators that as soon as Georgia was admitted, and the work of reconstruction finished up, he should scud a message to Congress recommending geueral amnesty to all participants in the late rebellion. The Republican politicians are. bringing to bear all the influence in jtlicir power to cause him to postpone his purpose in this regard,and may ac complish their purpose. The opposition takes the usual term, charging that t’ue late rebels are as disloyal as ever. It is estimated that the number of persons still disfranchised under the Fourteenth Amendment from all State and Federal offices amounts to two huudreJ and fllty thousand. Cotton Competition. The Governor-General ol India, the Earl of Mayo, is reported to be making a tour through tlio cotton growiug districts of that country, urging upon the planters the necessity of in creasing the cultivation of the staple in order to compete with this country. ’Twill lie labor in vain 1 Collector Bailey'* Delulcallou. The Etveuue Bureau now post up Collector Bailey’s defalcation to be $200,000, an amount in excess ol the bond given by him nud his se curities. Thus lar his whereabouts are not known, nor does it seem that the government has caused any active seaich to be made for ItTsn. Five Honored Innocents Slain.—A grand rat killiug match, in which five hundred rats were slain, took place last night in Apollo Hall, Prince street, near Baoadway. Bags full ot rats, traps full of rats, and rats by the dozen and hall dozen, were let loose in the pit at various times duriug the evening, and black and tan terrier bull terriers, and curs of ^ mixed breeds, worried, shook, tore, aud killed \ their charges must be. and will be, unless liumau Note* on tlie Railway *iluali«a-H«. VI. Editor* Telegraph and Messenger ; One or two other brief artic'es will conclude what I have to say on the Railway Situation in Georgia Tbe last two numbers, I observe, have not been so generally copied by the press as were those which preceded them. This I regret, riuce I write in the interest of the people, and since the two articles in question presented the conclu sion to which the previous argument had con ducted us. It may be that our people have be come inoculated with tbe virus of State aid to railroads; that every section of the Bute has a pet project of its own, and ihst to carry out these projects, the people have gotten their con sent to overthrow the system built up by our lathers, and to enter wildly noon a policy which can end only in the bankruptcy of the State. If this be the case, then we can understand why our newspapers should close Lheir ^columns to such views as I have hud tbe honor, in my re- to pres* nt to the people. Permit me to suggest here, Messrs. Editors, that there is reason to lear that our editorial friends confine their attention too much to the merely political aspects of the question of Re construction, and give too little thought to the financial side of tlie subject. We cannot be too careful about the lormer; and yet political errors may be corrected; but for ruined credit and bankruptcy there is no remedy, unless it be the questionable remedy of repudiation. In Alabama, where the Legislature has voted the endorse ment of the State to almost every enterprise that asked for it, the people are already agitating the question of repudiation la North Carolina, where a similar policy prevailed lor a time, the’ following act has been passed : Section 1. The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact, That all acts Iramed at ihe last session of this Legislature making appropri ations to railroad companies, be aud Ihe sam • are hereby repealed , l lmt all t*onds of the State which have been i.-sued under the said acts, now iu the bands of any presidents or oilier officers of tlie corporations, tie immediately retur ed to the treasurer. Sec. 2. That tlie moneys in the State Treas ury which were levied aud collected under tbe provisions ol the acts mentioned in section 1 of this act arc hereby appropriated to the use ot the State Government, and sliull lie audited to the counties of the Slate upon the tax to lie as sessed for tlie year 1870, iu proportion to the amounts collected from them respectively. No ODe need Ire surprised if tlie people of Georgia should follow the example set them by other States. Indeed, some ot our thinking men already declare their hostility to the recent rail way legislation, and say that our only remedy is repudiation. It need not be doubted but that a people, who have repudiated their individual liabilities, will be equally prompt to relieve themselves of their Slate obligations. It is uo answer to say that tbe State has only endorsed the bonds of certain railway compa nies, for which she lias taken mortgages, and that tlie debts incurred by the sale ot these bonds are not her debt*. The man who puts his name to the promissory notes of bis neigh bor, as security or endorser, is as much hound in law to pay the debt, as the principal maker ol the uote; and though he may enjoy none of the benefits of the transaction, it becomes by operation ot law as much his debt as if he had borrowed the mouey himself. His proper ty, as well as his honor, is bound for the pay ment ot the money. If the principal cannot, or will not, discharge the debt, the security or en dorser must do it, and then employ counsel to collect the money out of the principal, if it can be done. Will tbe railways, whose bonds have been en dorsed by the State, he able to take up these bonds at maturity ? Some of them may be, but it is plain enough that, most of them will not — And their ability to meet these bonds will be impaired just as we may increase the number of new roads whose bonds may be hereafter en dorsed by the State; since the greater the num ber ol roads among which the railway business of the Stale is divided, the less remunerative will the business which fails to each one be, and consiquently the less valuable will be the stock, and the less able the several companies to dis charge their liabilities. When the railroads now contemplated and being buiIt by the aid of the State shall have been put in operation, there will not be a single road in lbe State of Georgia th.it will pay its stockholders seven per cent, upon their investments. One ot tbe first results ol this deplorable state of things will be this: We shall have our territory covered with a net- | work ot badly managed, poorly equipped and j inefficient railways, all struggling for a precari ous existence, nurt many of them finally forced U> sale under the sheriffs hammer. Among the roads that will be the first to yield to the pressure, will be those which have re cently received the aid of the Slate, simply be cause tbeir const,ruction was not called for so much by tbe increase of business, as by the interests ot certain non-resident financial ope rators, backed by local feeling and personal considerations. Anterior to tbe war, when our crops requiring transportation were far heavier than they are now, the dividends declared by our best railways never exceeded eight per cent. What their dividends will be iu the future, with double the railways and half the crops of former days, it is not difficult to foresee. It may be well to examine for a moment and see wbal can be done, and what probably will be done, now that the Legislature has entered upon the policy of granting aid generally to railroads. Every one will admit that our rail way system might have lieen in several respects better thau it is The roads might have been more direct, and thus more advantageous to the people and less costly and less expensive to the stockholders. The first idea presented to the projectors ot roads to tie built by the aid of the State is, as we have already seen, a plan to cut oil existing roads by shorter lines. Here are probably some of the roads which the policy under discussion would promote. A road from West Point, to the Macon and Western Road at Bartlesville or Miluer, and a road lrom Baruesville through Thomaston to Geneva. These two lines would seriously in jure the Atlanta and West Point, and Georgia Roads, and the Columbus hraucb ot the South western Road. The Air-Line from Atlanta to the upper Sa vannah River, already being built under this policy, and a road from Atlanta by McDonough. Jackson, Montioello, Eatonlon. and Milledge- ville to the Central Road at. Tennille. These two lines would cripple the Georgia Road and the Macon and Western, and inflict incalculable injury upon Macon. A road lrom Griffin to the Alabama line in a lireetion t.o Decatur, Ala , which would injure the Ailanta and West Point ltoad, the Georgia Road, and the State Road. Such a road has been commenced by private enterpeise, but the aiil of tlie State will probably lie invoked before it is completed. Tbe aid ot tlie State has already lieen ex tended to the Macon and Brunswick Road, which will injure the Central Road, and which itself will lead to a short road cutting the city of Macon otl from Columbus, Albany, Eufanla, and Fort Gaines, namely, a road from Fort Val ley to the Macon and Brunswick Road at Haw- kiusville. Indeed, a charter has already been granted for this short road. The aid of the Stale has also been granted to Ihe Brunswick and Albany road, aod will be asked lor tlie extension of that road to Enfanla, or to A merieus and Columbus. This road will do great injury to the Souilnvestem, the Cen tral, the Macon and Brunswick and the Atlantic and Gulf loads, and will lake away from Macon the very cream of ils business. Such are some of the fruits which will spring, and which are already' springing born the policy of State aid, and lrom the war that is being made upon tlie old railway system. Macon has taken the lead iu this departure from the policy of our fathers, and I fear it will be the fiist to experience its evil effects. The Macon and Brunswick road and the Macon and Augusta road will not increase its business cue dollar, but will take many thousands from it. The lucrative trade that formerly came to it from the lower part of Twiggs and Houston, and from Pulaski, Wilcox aDd~adjoining coun ties, will gradually turu down the Macon and Brunswick road to Savannah and Brunswick; while the trade of Baldwin and Putnam will eventually be carried off to Augusta and Savan nah. These roads give Macon additional out lets to the sea, and unfortunately at the same time they tarnish additional means lot carrying produce anil busiuess right through and away lrom her. The new roads must live, so to speak, as will as the Central; and to do this. •mm to the Chattahoochee, and the Fort Valley and Hawkinsville Road, will inflict a thousand times more injury upon that goodly city, than it could ever suffer at the bands ot the Central Road, however administered. But for the policy of State aid, for which Macon labored so long, and which was at last successfully inaugurated in the cases of the Macon and Brunswick and the Macon and Aogusta Roads, it is not at all prob able that aid would ever have been granted to tbe Brunswick and Albany Road, and without which there was as little prospect that that road would ever have been built. The writer of these notes does uot reside in Macon; and yet there is no city in the State in whose prosperity and importance he feels a deeper interest; and so feeling, he has long be lieved that a close anion between the Central Railroad Company, the Southwestern Company, tbe Macon and Western Company, the people of Macon and the people of Columbus, was in dispensable to the welfare of each aod all ol these parties. This union did exist in tbe ear lier days of our railway bistoiy, *nd was pro ductive ot the happiest results' It will be re established again—not this year, nor perhaps uext year; but it will be re established, and that, too, at no distant day. To suppose othewise, is to suppose that sensible men and well-managed corporations will continue to war upon each- other, to the ruin of all ot them. It the man agement of either one ol these corporations, or the spirit which actuates either one of these cities, is not such as the others could desire, reason and argument, and time will be loUDd a tar cheaper and more efficient means in bring ing about a change, than a railway war. That this is the wiser policy, will be apparent to any intelligent person who will reflect how much in jury either one of these parties could do one or all ot the others, if it weie to try. Historicus. FOR THE 1TLINTI INTELLIGENCER. A Trip to Dooly < oniiif, Saturday evening, April 2d. found me com fortably seated on hoard the Macon and West ern train, bound for Dooly county. Enlivened by tlie genial chat and genuine-humor of our triends Nunually and Speights, the ride between the Gate City and Griffin was remarkably short Bidding adieu to my jovial companions, was whirled along to the station below Griffin, where the conductor was fortunate enough to capture quite a rara avis in this section of country. The little captive was a sea fowl, having, I suppose, wandered away from the salty breezes, to which he was accustomed; becoming bewildered, having lost his reckoning, and had flown until quite exhausted. I have often seen numbers on tbe Florida coast, but none up as high as this latitude. At my request, the conductor prom ised to deliver him into the hands ol the “ irre pressible George Johnson,” adding one more feature to his pelted hobby. On arriving at Macon, I stopped at the Brown House, of course, (who does not ?) and found it had lost none ot those charming features by which it has gained a national reputation, and which enables it to maintain, in spite of op position, Ihe greater part of the public patron age. Macon may be justly proud of her “ Brown’s Hotel.” At noon, in company with Judge Cole aud 8am. Hall, of Fort Valley, and Col. Hunter, of Macon, 1 found myself m the pleasant village ot Montezuma, situated on the East side ol Flint River, in Macon county, which supports four ot the legal profession in quite a handsome and satisfactory manner. Through the kindness ol Col. Wm. H. Byrum, we were furnished transportation to Vienna, Dooly conn ty, our objective point. While passing through the rural regions of this county, I could not but be struck at the difference in the aspect of vege tation ; the trees were all green; corn planted, grass growing, and a general spring-like appear ance, furnishing quite a contrast to our section Corn sufficient has been planted for home con sumption, and preparations are making lor cot ton planting. The character of the soil and people of Dooly county is much misunderstood. The soil is of tar better grade than is generally considered— producing tine crops—and the people kind, social and generally prosperous. Vienna, the county site, is quite a blur on the general prosperity and is by no means a criterion ot the general spirit and enterprize of the citizens ol the county A general abandonment and negli uence marks all its features Among the no tabilities ot the town is mv old iriend “ Uucle Cbailie Everett”—as lie is familiarly known and his estimable wife. I stopped with them a short while, and spent a very pleas ant and agreeable time with them—may success ever attend the residue ot their days on c-arth. On Monday morning court met at 10 o’clock his honor Judge Co'e presiding. The term ot the court was very short. No old business was taken up. The attention ot the court was con sumed in disposing ot several criminal cases.— The Grand Jury indicted quite a number of persons engaged in a most disgraceful affair.— Rioting and disturbing public worship. Some drunken parties went to a camp ground dispersed the meeting acting in a most revolting style, desecrating the sacred spot, and making a mock ot the sacrament, &c. Tbe good people of the county feel very much outraged, and are determined that the fullest punishment allowed by the law shall be visited upon them. On Wednesday, the 6th April, tbe people met at Vienna and held a railroad meeting, exhibit ing much enthusiasm on the subject. They passed a resolution offering—in tbe event of a charter being granted to a railroad from Hawk- insville to Vienna, crossing Flint river at Dray ton, and thence to Americus—to grant therighc- ol-way through the county free, together with grading tbe entire distance traversed by the road through the county. They fear if prompt action is not made tha* their county may be left out in the cold for some time yet. If the road is built it will have the effect to make Brunswick the market ol Southwestern Georgia. Court adjourned on Wednesday. Col. Wm. H. Byrum again *aat for us taking us. directly to his residence where we were kindly and hospitably entertained by himself aud accomplished lady. With regret did we leave this pleasant South ern home, ubouuding with all the elegancies and comforts of life, dispensed as thev are with such generous kindness, to betake ourselves agaiu to our wanderings. Yours, &c, Viator. Insect Life in Winter -The ’ast“ Putnam ” tells something interesting about insect life per haps not known to many of our readers. M. deSanssure, for instance, iulortns us he found a butterfly soaring over the glaciers, where the lammergeyer and chamois have their haunts. It is 'scarcely credible that a thing so trail, a creature of warmth, sunshine, and flowers, could live for an hour amid those Alpine bights, where man can scarcely exist. One would think this beautiful insect, “ born iu a bower,” would fold its brilliant wings and die. Arctic voyages also tell us of butterflies in extreme northern lati tudes ; these ol course belonged there, and were literally children of the ice-land. All this goes to prove the tenacity ol insect life, ar.d powers ol endurance when exposed to cold. Tlie writer goes on to say: “ It daily experience did not. prove to us the contrary, we should naturally suppose that of the myriads of insects smarming in our fields aud gardens, during our warm American summers, none could survive the cold winters of the same latitudes; that all must inevitably perish beneath a dclage oi snow; that none could endure the severity of frosts which penetrate many inches below tbe sod Who would believe it credible, it not familiar with the tact, that the gnat, tlie fire fly, dragon fly, tiuy red spider, the lady-bud, the bee, the ant, aye the butteifly, loo, could in some of its species survive a degree ot cold beneath which men have ntteu perished! Yet such is truth, one of the very many stronger than fiction.” - The Freed menBureau. The Senate concurring, the Freed men’s Bu reau, an institution that has done but little good indeed lor the freedmen, and that has largely tended to deplete the Treasury, while it has en riched many an official connected with it. will soon come to an end. On Tuesday last, the House prepared a bill discontinuing its exist ence. By its provisions the bounty and hospital work is transferred to the War Department, and the educational work to the Bureau of Educa tion. All funds now remaining in the Treasury to the credit of the Bureau, and all property lD ~ trusted to the Commissioner for its benefit, are also transferred to the Bureau of Education. The bill provides, further, that all buildings.cotistrucf- ed or repaired, in whole or in part, hy the Freed men’s Bureau, and now held by municipal or State authorities, societies, corporate bodies or trustees, for educational purposes,or funds arising from their rental or sale, shall be forever applied to and used for suet purpose, aud said bodies and institutions must report yearly to the Bit reau of Education. The belief at Washington is, that the bill, in ils main teatures will pass the Senate, a consummation devoutly to be wished. Simultaneously almost with the passage ot this bill l»y tbe House, tbe news of the arraigu- ment of the Chief of the Bureau, Gen. Howard, reaches us. It is said there have be«n so many charges, and countercharges ot late regarding the disbursements made by that official, that it will take a good deal of evidence to either affirm, explain, or deny the fifteen special allegations made by Mr. Wood in the House and which the Commiltee of Education were di rected to investigate. Parties who have (urn ished these charges expies3 their entire willing ness and ability lo sustain them. He has dis bursed since the bureau went into operation over twelve railiions of dollars, and during the last year has donated a good deal of money to certain schools and colleges. It is charged that these donatioas were made out ot the g< neral lund of the bureau, while Howard’s friends de clare that it has been paid over, uot donated, to those institutions lor educational services ren dered in the South. Both parties, it is said, in ihe House are rejoiced over the investigation ordered. Iucou«l*tency. Once upon a time to ascribe inconsistency to a political opponent, and to prove it from the record upon him, was deemed to be a blow fa tal to his aspirations, but that was in days past; n the verdant days of the Republic; when men were more wary of committing themselves, and when principles were landmarks steadily kept in view by those who aspired to represent the peo ple in political stations. Now “ consistency with the politician, is no longer the priceless jewel that it was; and this is so well understood that the man in these degenerate days, who as sails another upon the ground of “ iuconsisten cy,” is quite behind his day and generation— whether he establishes his charge or not. Re cently the enemies of Chief Justice Chase have severely denounced him tor his decision in the legal-tender case, alleging that it illustrated a plain, glaring, case of inconsistency. A Iriend of the Chiet Justice, however, has clipped tbe following paragraph from his report to Congress, as Secretary ot the Treasury, dated December 4, 1862, and offers it as disproving the charge of inconsistency: “The Secretary recommends, therefore, no new paper money scheme, but, on the contrary, a series ot measures looking to a safe and grad ual return to gold and silver as the only perma nent basis, standard, and measure of valuation recognized by the Constitution, between which aud an irredeemable Daper currency, as he be lieves, the choice is now to be made.” Had those enemies ot the Chief Justice es tablished their charge, they would have made but little by it; having Jailed, they make noth ing. Had they gone lurtUei back and looked into the political record of the Chief Justice, they would have been able to have shown maoy cases ot glaring political inconsistency; but what then? Nowa-days, ’tis inconsistency that is the jewel and wins political place, and not that good old dame whom our fathers respected and of whom the poets sung. Sn^aei’* Views or > Hepablteau Government. Recently, in the Senate, the Georgia bill being under discussion, Mr. Sumner made the follow ing declaration: “From this time forward the duty of the to guarantee a republican government to all its parts will be constant and ever present, and duty is re-eutorccd by all needful powers. The guarantee is continuing and per petual, and it must be executed at all hazards. In its execution Congress must fix the definition of a republican government. How often have I said this; but I shall not fail to repeat it so long as tbe occasion requires. To Congress belongs the duty of determining wluit is a republican govern ment, and then it must see that such a government f.reoaiU in every State. If in any State the exist ing government tails according to the just stand ard, or if it is in any way menaced, then must Congress interfere to ex< cute the sleepless guar antee. And iu this interference it may act ac cord ng to its discretion, determining the occa sion aud tlie ‘means’ to be employed. It may act bv repression or by precaution, and it may select any ‘means’ proper for the purpose.” So, then. Republican Government is what Congress defiues it lobe, and Mr. Sumner thinks it is the duty of Congress 10 determine at once what it is. “Oh! Liberty, what crimes have uot been perpetrated in tliy name,” is an excla mation, the Mice of which when it was uttered thrilled the hearts ot the people ot every civil ized nation, save the one that had run mad with crime, and which its Congress had declared a Republic. And when the declaration shall go forth from the American Congress that what it deems to lie a Republican Government—repub lic. uiisiu in its simplicity and purity, being ig nored as ii is now by its enactments and despo tism—what crimes will uot be perpetrated in its uame ? A republican form of government em braces one. great cartliual principle, in the ab sence of which there is no republicanism, and that is, the rights of the minority are protected lrom assaults or encroachments upon them by the majority. This omitted, and the very essence of republicanism disappears in any other form of government, and that the present Congress, acting upon the dictum of the Massachusetts Senator, or any other Congress of like political aspect, will embrace, iu their definition ot what a Republican Government is, or shall be, this cardinal principle—protecting the weak from the strong—no sane man with the lights belore r.im as they now so fiercely burn, will ever be lieve. I>v rcijuest we re—publish the following poem, written by Mr. T. Bennett Nunan: dear old blarney. Respectfully Inscribed to the Jfunster Men of Atlanta. There ia an old castle in dear, holy Ireland, Four miles from the heantithl city of Cork; When a schoolboy, with feelings of awe it inspired me, As I hunted the eela in the Lee with my fork. Then a bright happy boy, without care, without sorrow, With naught but my Euclid to plague me at night; Now a deep thinking man, with the hope that the mor row Will And me, as then, on the path with the right Whenever a dark worldly passion comes o’er me. With eyes fill’d with dew 1 look back to the day When a pure thinking boy ’neath that noble old castle I loved to sing aud to whistle my sorrows away. Romantic and wild as a deer in its childhood. Loving nature alone (or its beauty and light, I would wauder alone thro’ the cave and the wildwood Till checked in my course by the shadows of night. Thro’ the rockcloee so fair, and way down by the hill side That skirted tbe Lake that no mortal could drain; ’Twas a beautitul stroU when the sun’s rayB were sink ing To sleep hind the hiil where dwelt Barney McSliane. And the old lime kiln, too, all surronnded with bushes, Where the blackberries always grew he*vy and sweet. A green home for the blackbird, the linnets, and thrushes — A fit spot for the downtrodden Patriots to meet On many an eve, when the inoon pours its pale rays On my soul from its blue, peacetul home in the sky— Wheu the stars gently peep irom their beds in the Heavens— Theu a thought of dear Home brings a tear to my eye Yes, I thli k, and I sigh with the thought of my think ing. For the bright happy days that forever are past; To the future 1 look with a nature unshrinking. Though by sail disapp lintmeut my life's been o’ercast the ruts to the intense delight of :t motley crowd of thieves, bruisers, gamblers, aud blacklegs. A mongoose and a lerret were let loose on tbe poor rats, but the mongoose, from whom much was expected, would not touch a rat, to the in tense disgust of i he cognoscenti. The ferret killed every rat it * went tor,” and hung so tena ciously on some ot tl.e rats that it would uot let co when the rats were lihcd up by their tails. The entertainment wound up by one hundred and filty rata being let loose iu the pit, all the dogs present being pitched in alter them, and many ot their masters lollowine. A scene then ensued which beggars description Ail present howled like maniacs. The dogs yelped, bit, tore, and snarled. The rats iqueafed iu a chorus of agonized despair, tearing around the pit, and scrambling up the legs ol ihe men. The air was filled with hundreds of dead rate, that were ihrown promiscuously amoDgthe audience, aud wheu the last rat was killed, a hasty retreat was beaten, those foremost getting jammed in the doorway while those in t he rear showered clouds ot rata upon their heads, backs, and shoulders, and thus ended what the bills styled “ a grand gayly night.”—Hinc York Star. nature lias chnuged greatly, very nearly tbe same as ihe present charges of the Central. But cheap trausponation will take awav, as well as bring business. The tendency of" trade like that of water, is to the sea. Water never’flows up stream, and trade does not move up its chan, ntls from the sea to interior points. The Macon aod Augusta Road will take away travel from the Atlanta and West Point Road aud lrom the upper 125 miles of the Georgia Road, and from the upper 113 miles of the Cen tral Road, and will add somewhat to the trade of Augusta. But its grades are too heavy, and the distance by that line to the sea is too great, for il ever to successfully compete with the Cen tral lor the constantly diminishing amount of cotton that will berealter be brought to Macon, when the roads now contemplated and being built by State aid, shall have been constructed* The Central Company is a strong corporation, and is conducted with consummate ability, and it has too much at stake to permit itself to be outdone by any of its younger rivals. Its busi ness may suffer for a time, but who will be bene fited in the end?

Both parlies in the House are rejoiced over the lull investigation ordered into tlie alleged misappropriation ot money bv General Howard, as Commissioner ot the Freedmeu’s Bureau.— There have been so many changes and counter- changes of late regarding the disbursements made by that official, that it will take a good deal ot evidence to 'either affirm, explain or deny the fifteen special allegations made by Mr Wood in the House yesterday, and which the Committee of Education were directed to inves tigate. Parties who have furnished these charges express their entire willingness and ability to sustain them. He has disbursed since the bu reau went into operation over twelve milli ms of dollars, and during the last year has donated a good deal of money to certain schools aud col leges. It is charged that these donations were made out of tbe general iuud ot the bureau, while Howard’s trieDds declare that it has been paid over, not donated., to these institutions for educational services rendered in the South. internal navigation The Committee on Ways and Means to day, agreed lo recommend the following additional sTction of the Tariff bill: That the act imposing tonnage duties ou ships, vessels or steamers shall hereafter construe to apply to any ship, vessel or steamer belonging to a citizen or citi zens ot the United States, trading and arriving trom ports ot the United States, or trading from one point or port within the Duited States to another point or port within the United tjtaus.

Hore of HI* Persermlon-llolng on j Four* lo Eai SttrHboui The following letter trom O’Donovan Rossa, is published iu the Dublin Irishman: January, 1869. An English convict, passing by tbe place I work, parses me a signal that if I go to a cer tain place, L’Jt get a pencil, and that it 1 leave a letter in the same place, he can get it taken out for me. I have the pencil any way. ’Tis a temptation to try the other thiDg, paiticularly as all my letters to my wife have been suppressed and here I am writing. I aoi alter ten days’ punishment, too, on a charge of writing what I did not write. The next scrap of illicit writing found in the prison I may be pounced upon a' io, and so I’ll take the benefit ot the chance. But the pencil wou’i do much I’ll begin at the end and travel back My last punishment was the ten days, on a lalse charge in December. The one belore that wa one decreed in July, of 29 days on bread and water, and penal class diet atter, till tbe 1st <»i Octobtr. A special privy was made in my cell, it bad a flag h.r a seat, and no cover. The stench bom it was not pleasant. Night or d tv I wusa’t let out ot it. I tried to break it, bui could not Then I tried to sing, and this suc ceeded in getting me occasional relitls in tin black hole Belore this punishment I had 35 days, with my hands tied behind .nek, on short rations ; and belore this I had 15 days ou bread and water. This course commenced oa the 1st oi June, because 1 re I used to work in company with English convic:s, who were rigorously cou Sued, to lurnish an excuse to the authorities as to my not being treated any way exceptionally. One of them was specially detailed as a spy upon me. The first day I worked in Chatham he gave mo a bit of a newspaper. He then told the officer that I had it. I was searched, it was found, and I bad two days bread and water. To strengthen this report, there was added a clause of idleness. I am left-handed. I broke the stones with the hammer in my right hand. He told me to put the hammer in my leit hand. I did so. He was not pleased then, either; he kept spurring me. Once he told me my stroke was too light. I said that the wages were rather light, too, and then I was charged with “inso lence.” To give an idea of the way reports are got up, and of the petty aunoyances that have no object but annoyance and to worry the pris oner to death, is" more thau I can do. The stories these English people tell of Japanese mandarism would not hold a candle to their own mandarism in English prisons. Only think of their using physical iorce to bring my hands and ieet into a position of paying them salaams while starving me. I actually experienced this, Mr. Alison behind my back clutciiiug me by the neck to keep me straight, aud another officer at each side of me holding my bauds down by my thighs in the po sition ot “ attention ” before tlie Governor. To save myself from this annoyance 1 had to throw dirty water on them once. I had 120 days’ bread and water, aud about twelve months’ penal class diet entirely.

Jouesburo Correspondence. Jonesboro, Ga., April 6, 1870. Iu my report of the 5tli ultimo, in regard to the treatment of N. G. Hudson’s son, who has been stricken down with a very severe attack ol Meningitis, I staled that the same treatment cir culated through tlie columns of the press, by Dr. Knott, ot Griffiu, was the same administered by Dr. J. Venable, in reference to tbe above case. But Dr. Venable, the attending physician, informs me, this morning, that the treatment which he has prescribed, differs from that which Dr. Knott published, and begs me to make this correction, which I do cheerfully. The follow ing is the treatment administered by Dr. Vena ble : He states that this case is the real Cuebro Spi nal Meningitis, in its worst and most dangerous form, aud when he arrived, three hours after the patient was taken with the disease, he had him nauseated with Tartar-Emetic, and let him bleed copiously, he then blistered with Turpen tine and Croton Oil all along the spinal column, together witn passing a hot iron over the back ; he then gave him heroic doses of Quinine and Calomel, and in the space ol 24 hours had ad ministered 200 grains ot each. Ten hours after he had -nauseated him fie put liim under lbe in tiuence of Bromide ol Pottassium, as soon as the stomach could bear it. He has since then con tinued the Quinine from 60 to 80 grains p.r day together with keeping him slightly under ihe influence ot Bromide oi Pottassium, which make; eight days since he was first taken sick. Dr. J. Venable took me in to see his patient, whom 1 lound under such success! ul treatment, to be rapidly recovering heyound'*the expectation of nis most intimate friends. He gives this publi cation of his treatment lor tne benefit of the community. Together with Mr. Phipps, we had the pleas ure of visit)ug the hair-braiding manufactory oi Mrs. Mary Rice, whom we lound to be a very courteous, Kind aud accomplished lady. She has some twenty young lady scholars. Some oi Jonesboro’s iairest daughters. We have been shown some of the pupils’ work, aod pronounce it among the finest ot artistic workmanship and taste. Her manufactory is iu the top floor of the Academy. She is energetic and untiring in her efforts to instruct her fair pupils, and well is she repaid, for they are -ape scholars. Her watch chains are beautiful, and whoever may be lortu- uate enough to possess a chain, can proudly say it has been braided by one oi Jonesboro’s iairest daughters. We wish her success in her new establishment, for richly does she deserve it.— Fate well, lair ones, we’ll call again. Reynold’s menagerie is expected to be here to morrow.
