HOME MATTERS.
Wrong.—We hope the report is not
true, that permission has been given the Geor
gia Hospital Association to erect a Wayside
Hospital in the City Park. We learn, from the
Commonwealth, that Mayor Ca’houn has been
requested by the City Council to correspond
with his Excellency, Gov. J. E. Brown, and pro
test against the outrage and indignity. Ihe lot
was granted by the heirs of Mitchell to the State
of Georgia for railroad purposes only. The
Legislature granted the city of Atlanta the priv
ilege of beautifying it as a Park. It is thought
by legal minds that if the Hospital is erected
(that not being for railroad purposes) then the
lot will revert back to the heirs of Mitchell.—
This was the ground of refusal for the proposed
erection of the Post-office on it. The city spent
thousands of dollars in beautifying it as a Park,
and now to have the trees and shrubbery de
stroyed is a burning shame. There would be
some shadow of an excuse for erecting a Hos
pital there, if no other place could be procured.
But such is not the case. We trust that Gov.
Brown will at once put his veto upon any further
proceedings in the matter.
Praiseworthy.—We are pleased to
learn, from the Confederacy, that twenty of bur
citizens have each subscribed one thousand dol
lars to a fund to be used in purchasing corn, to
be ground into meal, and supplied to the city
and county authorities to distribute to the poor
and the needy families of soldiers in this city
and county. The corn is to be purchased in the
cheapest market, brought here, ground, and
turned over to the persons charged with prop
erly distributing the funds appropriated by the
Legislature, the county and city, for the main.-
taiuance of those who are needy—requiring
only to have their money returned to them
without interest or profit.
These officers now pay out money to the al
moners of the bounty of the State and county
finding it very inconvenient to provide articles
of sustenance to distribute to them. When a
soldier’s wife receives her allowance in money,
she has to go to some of our grocers to buy a
bushel of meal, for which she has to pay, say
three dollars. These liberal gentlemen believe
that corn in large quantities can be purchased
at such rates as to be brought here and ground,
and sold to the poor and families of soldiers at
much lower rates; and quite a number have in
vested a thousand dollars each to be expended
in this effort, on the condition above named.
Ax Unfortunate Affair.—We
learn that a sad accident took place at Rutledge,
on the Georgia Railroad, a few days since. It
appears that a Mr. Shipley was in the act of
handling a rille, when the piece was aecidental-
ly discharged, the ball entering the right side of
the head of a Mr. Nott, ranging to the back part.
Mr. Nott was not dead at last accounts, but Ids
chances for recovery are considered doubtful. —
Both of the young men are residents of Atlan
ta, and are employed on the Georgia Railroad.
City Revenue.—Tt is estimated that
the ordinance, recently passed by Council, to
levy a tax of one half of one per cent on all
goods of non residents, sold here on commission,
will increase the revenue of the city some $12,-
000 or $15,000. It is an important ordinance,
and we doubt not but that every commission
merchant will faithfully carry out its provisions.
Breadstuffs and provisions are not included —
they are free of duty, as they ought to be.
Rates of Drayage.—At the last
meeting of Council, Aiderman Rawson intro-
duced an ordinance, providing for increasing!
the rates of license for Drays, to double the
present rates, as, also, to increase their toils to
double the rates that the ordinances now
permit. The Drays for some time have been
charging two or three times over and above
their legal rates, and we trust that the new or
dinance will have some etfect in regulating them
Planting.—Whi'e planting largely
for the common and needl'd tield crops, our
friends, and all pati iotie farmers and gardeners,
should not forget pepper, mustard and other
auxiliaries and condiments. It will be a shame
tul reproach it we permit ourselves, after anoth-.
er crop, to sutler the want of those things that
can be easily grown.
Too Bad.—ls there no law for the
prex ention of hogs running at large in our streets
rooting up things, and ‘sloshin around' gen
erally ? If there be, why is it not enforced ?

JAMES N. ELLS A CO.,
Atlanta, Ga.
IMsclrarge of the Militia Officers.
The militia officers who have repaired to
Savannah under the call of the Governor
for the defence of that city, have been dis
charged by General Mercer—not deeming
that their services will be found necessary,
and all signs of an attack having disappear
ed. • A special order to this effect appears
in the Savannah papers of Monday. The
Republican says:
A profound quiet reigns along our coast.
Hardly a Yankee vessel is to be seen, and
all the iron-clads have departed to parts
unknown. Everybody asks, What can be
the intention of the enemy—where are they
going—what do they intend or expect to
do? &c., but nobody can answer. It is not
known whether the Ogechee fleet went
north or south. Some think south, for a
movement against Mobile; others think for
iHilton Head, preparatory to an attack on
Charleston; whilst others believe they have
turned their prows in the direction of North
Carolina. Nothing is known definitely—
in our opinion, even by the enemy himself.
He seems to be floating about at random
from point to point, with the hope, like
Micawber, that something will turn up to
give him an opportunity to move with sue'-,
cess. .
ESow So Make Times Easier.
Everybody complains of the enormously j
high prices which all articles of necessity j
command, and every body inquires how it
is to be remedied. We say, let Congress
lay a heavy tax. If the cur r ency was re
duced, the price of articles of necessity
would necessarily fall. Let a tax be laid;
that will pay the interest on our bonds and
provide a sinking fund. This will make;
everybody feel like the currency is good.— ■,
It will restore public confidence, and there
will be no more fears of the. timid or igno
rant, that it may be worthless in the end. j
It will give a healthy tone, that is not to be
overestimated at this time.
'Phen to the extent of the tax that is lev
ied, the currency will be absorbed and re
duced. For instance : If it require S6O,-1
000,000 to pay the interest of the debt and ;
provide a sinking fund, and if Congress will '
levy and collect a tax of $60,000,000, that
amount will be withdrawn from the general
circulation of the country, and put back
into the hands of the Government. In this
way the country will be relieved from the
load of its redundant currency to that ex
tent, which will be a very great relief every
way. This, combined with the reinvigora
ting influences of confidence, will give more
satisfaction and set things upon a better l
basis than all the patching up which Con
gress has yet attempted.
Suppose, for instance, that A has $400;
in Confederate notes, and that Congress
should levy and collect a tax of 25 per cent. I
This would take SIOO of the S4OO in A’s
hands, leaving him but S3OO. This, how
ever, would be of no disadvantage to him,
for this absorption or diminution of the
currency would enhance the value of what I ‘
remained to the full extent of the circula-i’
tion withdrawn. He could then buy with
his S3OO a horse or any other property that
would previously have cost him S4OO. —
This enhanced value of the currency will be
manifested by the reduced price of articles
of necessity that are now very high.
Then a tax, no matter how heavy, will I
not be seriously felt by the holder of Con-;
federate notes, owing to the enhanced val- i
tie of the currency, and the corresponding-'
ly diminished value of articles that are for ;
sale.
This would not in the hast be detrimen-!
tai to farmers, manufacturers and others
who are producers, and have articles for
sale. The price of the farmer’s corn and
bacon would be reduced. He would not
get as many hundred dollars for a hundred
bushels ot the one, or pounds of the other,
as he can now ; but when the price of his
products go down, the price of everything
else will go down in very nearly the same
ratio; hence he will beabletobuy as many
yards of calico or shirting, bunches of yarn,
or pounds of salt and coffee as he can now
with the money the same corn and bacon
! will bring at present rates.
And such a meaaure would operate great
Iv to the benefit of persons who are em
ployed at salaries, or working for wages.—
They would have to pay but an insignifi
cant portion of the tax, w hile the reduced
price of articles of necessity would bring
within the scope of their means many things
which they now do without, or are able to
supplv themselves but scantily with. To
■“rt ’J ' ~ s . .
i this class a heavy tax would be a positive
)benefit; w hile the whole country would,
iin all the thousand ramifications of com
merce and intercourse, be improved and
strengthened, and a feeling of security take
the place of doubt.

The Times.
We have informaaion from an old ac
. quaintance and a reliable gentleman of
Nashville, that a friend of his just from
. Henderson, Ky., had crossed at Palmyra,
and stopped at a house ’close to a wood
landing, when forty seven transports of the
enemy came up, protected by three gun
boats. In conversation with the Yankees
it was learned that the transports were fill
ed with Seigle’s command from the army
of the Potomac, and that each transport
was expected to carry three hundred men
and their baggage, but the actual number
fell short of this figure. However, the re
inforcements numbered about 14,000. Pre
vious to this reinforcement, the enemy has
received about 12,000, making about 26,000
in all. Our informant thinks that it will
take these reinforcements to protect thirty
miles of Roscncranz’s rear, so that he can
hardly advance yet without additional re
inforcements.
From the forces of Rosencranz must be
deducted 6,000 deserters since the battle of
Murfreesboro.
Save a little skirmishing all is quiet in
front, and with some reinforcements we see :
no cause for an apprehension that our army
] will fall back.
The men and subalterns of Roscncranz’s
I army say they will never make another <
jsuch a fight as they made at Murfreesboro’ I
; —that they were deceived in thinking that '
j most of our best men were sent South, and
that Bragg’s army were, conscripts who j
would make no fight—that little skirmish- !
ing would cause the army to fall back, Ac.
We guess they 'were mistaken, and the '
; world will yet learn that conscripts are as
I good fighters as any. It is not fear that,
kept them out of the service, and we havty 1
little respeet forthose who jeer at con ’
scripts. Such a course is unwise and un
\ patriotic.

lEone*t Men Wanted. 1
The Houston (Texas) Telegraph calls for
la few honest men in that community. We
wish our far-off craftsman joy in his pursuit
lof honest men under difficulties. The Good !
Book says that he who seeks shall find, but
we fear our Texas fi ie.id xil; find but little
of that for which he seeks—honesty—until
the war is over. If the Telegraph finds
more of the article than is wanted about
Houston, we of this part of the moral vine- '
yard would like to share with him, for it 1
; may be considered a remarkable coinci
deuce that many of their wants are felt in
this city, or that at least many of the de- 1
1 mauds for supplying their wants will be
adopted and repeated here. We quote in
illustration :
Wanted—some honest enterprising man,
who will furnish wood in this city at $5
per cord, half the present prices. There is
plenty of money to be made in this busi
ness. Wood used to be furnished here at
$3.50 per cord. It costs no more to cut it
and haul it now than formerly. But a mi
serly devil has got possession of the wood
men and kicked their consciences out.
Wanted —some honest tanner, wl.o,
while he makes leather at a cost of less
than forty cents a pound, will not swear
on the holy evangelists that he can not af
ford to sell it at less than a dollar and a
! half.
Wanted—some honest shoemaker, who,
while the materials for making a pair of
I boots cost him less than fifteen dollars, is
now charging forty dollars for the boots,
declaring with the blankest affidavit face
! that he can not afford to do the work for
less.
Wanted—several honest small farmers
who will sell chickens, eggs, potatoes, etc.,
at honest prices.
Wanted—lmnest turnips, honest vegeta
bles, honest greens, generally that will
grow as cheap as they did before, the war. ;
Wanted —honest merchants for various
purposes, who will he satisfied with fifty
per cent, profit. In this connection we will
offer a prize of a thousand dollars for the
production of any record of a Christian
merchant who, on his death-bed, expressed
a belief that more than fifty per cent, profit
was an assurance ot God’s favor!
i Wanted—honest house ow ners, who are
willing to hu«h up about the extortion of
others, while they get four times as much
rent for their property as, were they ten
ants, they would deem just and right. It
is but right to say that there are more hon
est house owners about than any other-1
class, and hence exceptions are all the more
glaring. I
\\ anted—honest mon to pay honest !
debts without compulsion, and not beg off
'•until cotton is worth fifty cents a pound.”
In fact, the want of honest men is be
coming most painful in society. It is get
ting to’ be a serious question to what we are
all coming. Everybody curses the extor
tioner, while everybody only waits the op
portunity to practice extortion itself. Have
indeed all the honest men gone in the ar '
my ? Where is this thing to end ?
It does seem as though all the people
had sold themselves to Satan for the paltrv
privilege of taking double price for anv
thing they have for sale. Talk of shame !
lhey have no shame, no honor, no patriot
ism—nothing hut greed, greed, greed.

Latest Telegrams.
Mobile, March 12.—Reliable informa
tion received here states that most ample
preparations are making, and nearly com
pleted, to give the A ankees a warm recep
tion on the Tallahatchie river.
My informant jstates that the greatest
confidence is expressed in our ability to
prevent the Yankees from entering the Ya
zoo byway of the Tallahatchie.
Augusta, March 12.—P. W. A. tele
graphs to the Savannah Republican, to-day,
from Charleston, that intelligence has been
received in official circles, that Burnside
has been assigned to the command of the
department of South Carolina and Geor
gia.
The attack will be made on Charleston
within the next ten days, probably with
the spring tide on the 19th.
Grenada, Miss., March s.—Longstreet’s
division is at Knoxville, with the intention
of making an invasion into Kentucky thro’
Cumberland Gap.
A Cincinnati dispatch, dated Feb. 25th,
says: Two regiments of cavalry will go to
Kentucky to day. The refugees are return
ing to their homes.
Captain C. Morgan, a brother to General
John H. Morgan, who ventured near Lex
ington, has been captured and sent to Camp
Chase.
Rosencranz is moving toward Chattanoo
ga. His advance was at Franklin on the
26th ultimo.
Van Dorn had reinforced General Bragg
with ten thousand men.
Dispatches from Washington report that
in the Federal Congress motions to exempt
Quakers and clergymen from .military ser
vice failed.
Lincoln and Mercier have been closeted.
It is understood that Lincoln denies any
participation in the conception of Seward’s
response to Napoleon’s pacification move.
A Grand Precautionary Movement.—
The great city of New York is placed under
surveillance, and can no longer be trusted
with fire-arms or military stores. The
W ashington Chromcle says “ that General
Wool has ordered a patrol force to ascer
tain the number and description of fire-arms
in the city of New York, and also the quan
tity of ammunition now in the stores of
that city.” This was charged by the N. Y.
Repress to be a precautionary movement of
the Lincoln Government against a popular
outbreak. The Chronicle does not deny
this, but says, “it is well known thatalarge
number of disloyal people are there, and
the Express is one of the nefarious crew.”
When this is attempted, we think that the
beginning of the end has commenced. A
further sufferance of Lincoln’s tyranny will
be resisted unto blood by the people.
Bibles From the North —The Central
Presbyterian savs that one thousand Bibles
and five hundred Testaments have been re
ceived, by 7 permission of Maj. Gen. Dix,
from Mrs. George Brow n, of Baltimore, for
gratuitous circulation. They will be ex
clusively devoted to the army. Some friends
of the South in New York, too, are raising
funds to remit to Rev. Dr. M. D. Hoge, in
Europe, to procure Bibles for our people.
Return of Prayers.—What a beauti
ful expression that is in the old writers,
“ the return of prayers.” The idea is a
nautical one. Ships are laden for a foreign
shore with the w ealth and hopes of the mer
chant. lie sends them forth to various
ports, and in due time watches for the ap
pearance of the well known sails in the
harbor. Then he reaps his harvest. So
we Christian*; send forth our prayers from
many hearts in many places. They float
; upon the breeze like ships upon the sea, to
; foreign lands. Soon we begin to look for
! their return, and we behold this sail and
that sail, and at length the whole fleet,com
ing back again to our harbors, richly freight
ed with gracious answers.
Submission.—Those were truthful and
eloquent words lately breathed forth by a
young widow, whom the war, by bereaving
her of her husband, had left desolate. A I
friend counselled her to exercise submission I
and trust in God. Iler touching reply was
I‘ I have done submitting.’ The struggle
was over; she walked in peace.
1 Happiness is often at our side, and we
pass her by ; Misfortune is afar off, and we
j rush to meet her.
Filling up time with and for God is the)
way to rise up and lie down in peace.

HOUSE KEEPERS’ COLUMN.
USEFUL HINTS.
Care of China and Glass.—The most
important thing to do is to “ season ” either,
glass or china to sudden change of temper
ature, so that it will remain sound after
exposure to sudden heat and cold. Now
this is best done by placing the article in
c >ld water, which must gradually be bro’t
to a boiling point, and then allowed to cool
very slowly, taking a whole day or more
to do it. The commoner the materials,
the more care in this respect is required.—
The very best glass and china are always
well seasoned, “ annealed,” as the manufac
turers say, before it is sold. If the wares
are properly seasoned in this way, they
may be “washed up” in boiling water
without fear of fracture, except in frosty
weather, when, even with the best anneal
ed wares, care must be taken not to place
them suddenly in too hot water. All chi
na that has any gilding upon it must on no
account be rubbed with a cloth of any kind,
but merely rinsed, first in hot, and after
wards in cold water, and then left to drain
till dry. If the gilding is very dull and re
quires polishing, it may now and then be
rubbed with a soft wash leather and a dry
whiting; but remember, this operation
must not be repeated more than once a
year, otherwise the gold will most certain
ly be rubbed off, and the china spoiled.—
I When the plates, &c., are put away in the
china closet, a piece of paper should be
placed between each to prevent scratches.
Whenever they “clatter,” the glaze or
painting is sustaining some injury, as the
bottom of all ware has its particles of sand
adhering to it, picked up from the oven
where it was glaced. The china closet
should be in a dry situation, as a damp
closet will soon tarnish the gilding of the
best crockery.
In a common dinner service, it is a great
evil to a make the plates “ too hot,” as it in
variably cracks the glaze on the surface, if
not the plate itself. We all know the re
sult—it comes apart;“ nobody broke it,”
I “it was cracked before, or cracked a long
time ago.” The fact is, that when the glaze
is injured, or every time the “ things” are
washed, the water goes to the interior,
swells the porous clay, and makes the whole
fabric rotten. In this condition they will
absorb grease; and, being made too hot
again, the grease makes the dishes brown
land discolored. If an old, ill-used dish be
made very hot indeed, a teaspoonful of fat
will be seen to exude from the minute fis
sures upon its surface. The latter remarks
apply more to common wares.
In a general way, water and a soft cloth
are all that is required to keep glass in a
good condition ; but water bottles and the
decanters, in order to keep them bright,
must be rinsed out with a little muriatic
acid, which is the only substance which will
remove the fur which collects in them, and
this acid is far better than ashes, sand, or
shot; for the ashes and sand scratch the
glass, and if any shot is left in by accident,
the lead is poisonous.
Richly 7 cut glass must be cleansed and
polished with a brush like plate, occasion
ally rubbed with chalk. By this means
the lustre and brilliancy are preserved.
Wiping Dishes.—Much time is wasted
by house keepers in wiping their dishes. —
If properly washed and drained in a dry
sink, with a cloth spread on the bottom,
they look better than when wiped, besides
the economy in time and labor.
To Keep Beds Well Aired. —Nothing
more is necessary than to fill a large stone
bottle with boiling water, and to put into
the bed, which, with the bolster and pil
lows, should be pressed around it in a heap.
It is astonishing the number of hours it
will be found warm. By this simple con
trivance, no one need fear giving a friend
a “damp bed,” even if it is only done once
a fortnight. Care must be taken to have
[the bottle well corked, and to prevent ae
i cidcnts, it would be as well to tie it down.
To Make Crackers. —Take one egg,
one pint sweet milk, one teacupful of lard,
a little salt, and enough flour to make a
stiff dough. Rub the lard and some flour
together; then add the egg and milk. —
Add flour and knead well till it is a very
stiff dough. Then add to this one half its
size of light dough, knead them well to
gether, and set away to rise. When light,
roll out to one-eighth of an inch thick, cut
in squares, prick with a fork, and bake to a
crisp.
Buckwheat Bread. —A\ ho loves not
buckwheat pancakes, and to how many in
a failure of the wheat crop, is buckwheat
the staff of life? and to how many more
might it be if the fact were generally
known, that a most palatable bread can be
made from it.
The bread is as good as the pancakes —
(we say better) —far less trouble to pre
pare, and has no burnt grease about it to
make it unwholesome.
A Simple Pudding.—Boil a quart of!
'milk, cut up some bread in small puces'
an<l soak them in the milk for about half
an hour, then add a tablespoonful of Indian.
1 meal, and a piece of butter the size of a
walnut; sweeten well, and putin nutmeg,
and other spices. Bake about twenty min
! utes.
Salad Dressing.—One cup good cider
vinegar, a teaspoonful of oil, one of made
mustard, a salt spoon of salt, and the yolk
of a hard boiled egg rubbed fine; pour
over the salad, and send to the table.
Batter Pudding.—Five eggs beaten
li<dit • one quart of sweet milk and one
pint of flour. Bake ten minutes without a
crust, and eat it hot, with butter and su
i gar for sauce.
To Make Buckwheat or Johnnv ake.
i—To one quart buttermilk, add “ *
fu I of soda? and flour enough to make a
thin batter-put in egg if convenient, and
( bake in quick oven. Iry
