At the head of the procession was a man
dressed in the habiliments of the dead—a
lieutenant, I learn, belonging to a Louisiana
battery, who deserted our tanks at Fort
Jackson, and was taken in the recent fight,
and identified. lie had quit us and joined
the enemy. Os course he deseryed death
richly, but it looks inhuman to butcher a
fellow-mortal. By this time he is doubt

HOME MATTERS.
The Destitute in Atlanta— A
Suggestion. — Friday, the 27th instant, will be
observed, in the various churches in our city, as
a day of special prayer to the Most High in be
half of our common country. While God's
people are thus doing their duty, we respectful
ly suggest that it would be a proper and favora
ble occasion for the pastors to afford an oppor
tunity for their congregations to make an offer
ing to the destitute in our midst. We hope a
collection for this purpose will be taken in every
church on the approaching fast day.
It seems to us, too, that it would be a good
idea for our efficient Postmaster, Col. Howard,
to arrange a “ Box for the Poor,” at the general
delivery window and inside the office, with a
suitable inscription thereon, into which the
free-will offerings of the public may be deposit*
ed. Let us all, fel ow-citizens, especially ree
member and do something for the poor, on the
same day we supplicate tor blessings upon our
country.
We may add, in this connection, that during
the past week about one thousand dollars have
been judiciously expended, by the officers of the
Dorcas Society, towards relieving the poor of
our city. Mr. Barnes, in behalf of the Atlanta
Amateurs, lias sent the Secretary of the ‘Dorcas’
five hundred dollars to aid in this good work.
Those who may ‘ contribute to the treasury of
this Society, can rest assured that their charity
will be properly bestowed.
Dr. White.—Our readers will find
the professional card of brother G. E. White in
to-day’s paper. He comes to settle among us,
bearing the highest testimonials as to character,
and ability in ministering to the ‘ ills which
flesh is heir to,’ and we bespeak for him a share
of patronage.
Death.—We regret to record the
death of Mr. John Tomlinson, one of our most
estimable citizens, which occurred on Wednes
day morning at the residence of his ftther-ine
law, Mr. John Glenn. Mr T. was a native of
DeKalb county, aged thirty-live years, and a
gentleman of unblemished reputation.
Fire.—The grocery of B. Cain, on
Marietta street, was consumed on Wednesday
night—loss small.
DiST 11 ess—S e izuu E--*R ene F. —Some l
excitement was caused in our streets last 1
Wednesday under the following circumstances: *
A number of ladies, perhaps a dozen, composed '
ot the wives ami daughters of soldiers’ families, 1
who represented themselves and their families
to have been deprived of anything to eat in Mie
last few days, save a small portion of corn
bread, were seen perambulating our streets un
til they came up to a provision store on White
hall street. They all entered it, being preceded
by a tall lady, on whose countenance rested care
and determination She asked the merchant
the price of bacon, lie replied, stating that it
was $1 10 per pound. She remonstrated with
him as to the impossibility of females in their
condition paying such prices for this necessary
ot life. He remaining inexorable in his demand,
this tall lady proceeded to draw from her bosom
a long navy repeater, and at the same time or
dered the others in the crowd to help them
selves to what they liked, which they did ac
cordingly, giving preference to the bacon, until
they had taken, as we learn, someting like S2OO
worth. I'hey went out, ami on being ipiestion
ed by some gentlemen as to what they meant,
they related their suffering condition, of which
we have already spoken.
Seeing what was going on,and feeling a deep
sympathy for these ladies, a number of gentle*-
men of very moderate means, who themselves
have families to support, set to work to raise a
subscription in their behalf. In a short time
they raised a small sum, and appointed a com**
millee, consisting of Messrs. Wm. G. Supple, T.
Brown and J. 11. Patillo, from Major Cunning
ham's Clothing Department, to take charge of
it. This committee has placed that jfund—not
being able to find the parties who took the ba
ron, they having dispersed—in the hands of tin*
editor ot the Intelligencer, to bestow it upon
them, or such objects of charity, at the same
time requesting him to invite others to come up
in aid of this good work.

Home for Invalid Ladies.
We would call attention to the circular
of Mrs. J. N. Simmons, in behalf of the
Ladies’ Home, which appears in our paper
to day. We are glad to see that this most
worthy enterprise is attracting the attention
of the public, and that the ladies of the
Committee are exerting themselves with
unabated energy in its behalf. We earn
estly hope all will respond to their call
upon them for donations to furnish the
“ Home.” Their plans are plain, practical,
and possible; and we cannot see why they
should not succeed. Let Southern women
help in this, and let the gentlemen come to
their assistance. Men have never called upon
woman to assist them in the promotion of
any worthy object, but she responded at once,
and liberally. If an appeal should be made
over the signatures of two or three of our
distinguished generals to the women of the
South to build a hospital for sick and wound
ed soldiers, we venture to assert the neces
sary funds would be forthcoming in two or
three weeks. Then why cannot men be as
1 ready and willing to assist woman in her
endeavors to relieve the sufferings of her
Sex, when she appeals to them over her
own name, and when her motives are so pure
and praiseworthy ? Are they less generous
than the gentler sex? or is it because they
have no benevoknee, no philanthropy, or
worse still—no just appreciation of woman
and her wants ?
We think it a good suggestion for mer
chants to sei d some article of trade, flour,
rice, tobacco, corn, sugar, Arc., to the most
convenient of the business firms mentioned
in the circular, which may be disposed of
for the money, and thus donated to the
“ Home.” Hundreds of commercial men
may thus assist woman in so praiseworthy
an enterprise, and never know themselves
one dollar the poorer. The ladies are try
ing to help themselves—let us, as men, hold
up their hands with our strength, and give
thorn all the assistance we can. Woman
is, indeed, “God’s best gift to man”; she
is our truest friend, and the last to leave or
forsake us, and it is indeed our duty, if not
pleasure, to do all we possibly can to pro
mote her welfare and happiness.
Southern women are especially called
upon-to assist in t his benevolent work.—-
They can send one dollar, if no more, and
never miss it from the tiniest of their porte
inonaies, and this mite, added to that of
others, may be the means of doing much
good. 1 here is plenty of money in the
country —more than ever before—and all
benevolent, philanthropic and patriotic en
terprises are the best and safest banks in
which t<> deposite tit least a part of it.
We wish for this enterprise a hearty
(rod-speed! It ought, to succeed, if only;
for our national advancement, in entire in
dependence; and we will cheerfully enlist *
our heart, and hands in its success. We
hope those merchants, whom the ladies of
the committee have complimented by ma- '
king their agents, will promptly accept the:
office and render all assistance in their pow. 1
| er. We also hope ami believe that, some!
loftheir lady friends in those cities will, like'
Miss Holmes and Mrs. Farrar of Atlanta,
canvass their respective communities. — I
W e have no doubt a welcome ami liberal
reception will be given them. Surely there
are ladies in all our Southern cities who
will voluntarily enlist in this work for the
I relief of the afflicted of their sex, and thus
inscribe their names upon the records of
grateful hearts, as well as upon those of
| the II ome for Invalid Ladies.
As to Dr. T. S Powell, it is unnecessary
that we should allude to him in compli
mentary phrases, as ho is so widely and
tauorably known; a c*'temporary justly re
marks, the ladies of the Association know
in whom they trust.
Neglect of' ramify Religion.
Are there not families connected with
|our churches, who, as often as they sit
[down to their food, return no thanks for it
to God, invoke no bli-sing from Him on
»it .’ Fed three times a Jay from the hand
■of our Father in heaven, they yet with
hold acknowledgment of His perpetual
bounty. They disown, at least ignore Him
who sends man rain and fruitful seasons, at
I the very table which he spreads for them.
Is that a right anti Christian spectacle?—
Even the heathen of old would not do so.
Ju pagan Rome, each meal began with sac
rificing to their gods a portion of the food
[ provided for themselves ! As often as they
ate, they worshipped ! How then can we,
with fuller light shed from the Scriptures
,on the care of the true and living God for
our well-being, excuse the glaring ungrate
fulness, if we take our seat at the family
board as though we had no Almighty Eriend
to remember an 1 adore there ? there, where
His benefits are nourishing the life receiv
ed at first from His power! The family
I that eats without thanksgiving, or invoca
tion of blessing, is daily teaching all its
■ members not to recognize and own the
hand and love of God in the good things of
this present world. A lesson, alas, which,
of themselves, they are too swift to learn
I —which they can hardly ever unlearn, if
from their earliest years, the household is
| thus made a school of ingratitude.

Correspondence of the Macon Telegraph.
Home lor Invalid Ladies.
Atlanta, Ga., March 7, 1863.
A/r. Joseph Clisby :
The Ladies of the Finance Committee
have read with much pleasure your very
kind and complimentary letter, written in
behalf of the Editorial Convention, and in
response to their own addressed to that, in
telligent body of gentlemen. Please pre
sent to them through your paper our grate
ful thanks for the cordial and flattering
manner in which our communication was
received, and for the resolutions so prompt
ly taken to aid in the enterprise submitted
to their consideration. We were satisfied
that an appeal from the pen of woman, if
it did not succeed in moving others, would
never fall unheeded upon the ears of the in
telligent gentlemen who preside over our
high-toned Southern press, and failing to
find friends in them, we would indeed think
there were none V to do us reverence.”
Your compliments to the worth and pa
triotism of Southern women are gratefully
and fully appreciated, and it thrills our
hearts with pride and pleasure to know
that we can accept them as our “meed”
from our noble countrymen, and feel that
we have tried to make ourselves worthy
the high appreciation of those to whom we
look for help and defence. It is one of wo
man’s highest pleasures to find that her no
ble and praiseworthy efforts are apprecia
ted by gentlemen of worth and intelligence ;
but in our present struggle for indepen
dence, she fears that her efforts for the, suc
cess of our cause have been rather selfish
at last. It would give Southern women no
pride or pleasure to be exalted to any po
sition, if their brave countrymen were made
bondsmen and slaves; for them, for their
honor and happiness we live, and the chains
of tyranny that fettered their limbs would
also bind izs in a slavish thraldom. The
moon can oMy borrow its light from the
resplendent beams of the sun ; if the regal
oak is prostrated in the depth of the forest,
the ivy that clings to its strength and em
brace will also fall io the ruin ; and if our
countrymen are degraded and made slaves,
Southern women must bid farewell to their
proud and high prerogatives of birth and
position, and also to their dearest happiness
—loving and being loved and r spected by
men who, disdaining the bonds that would
enslave Them, can still tread the blood
stained soil of the South with their honor
untarnished, and a spirit that can never
succumb to the tyranny of oppression.
In conclusion, please also accept the 1
thanks of the Committee for the kind wish
es expressed for the success of the humane <
I enterprise in which we are engaged. The
assurance of them will much encourage us
,to persevere, and among the personal re
cords of the “ Home,” we will ever point
with grateful pleasure to the names <ff the
true and noble editorial gentlemen of the
■South, who could not turn away from an
appeal made in the name and in the behalf
lof woman. Miss M. Louise Rogers,
Corresponding Secretary in behalf of Com-
mittee.
HOME FOR INVALID LADIES.
I We give here, in as condensed form as
'possible, the plan of the enterprise, and we
[will he under many obligations if the gen
tlemen of the press will publish it in their
journals until it is known to the public, at.
i the same time hoping they will “ sav a
I word for us” as they deem proper and ne-
I cessary.
The book, to be entitled “ Moral Beau
ties from the Heart of Woman, or Voices
from the South,” will be published as soon
as the blockade is raised. Its contents are
■contributed by the most distinguished lady
writers of the South, to aid in the erection
of the Home for Invalid Ladies, and the
manuscript is now in the hands of Dr. T.
S. Powell. Due of the most eminent lady
. writers has been engaged to edit, the book ;
, the proof sheets will be printed here, cor
rected and perfected, so that when the
' blockade is raised, the work will be pub-*
lished at once. Its contents will be choice
and miscellaneous literature, written ex
* pressly for this work, with a short hiogra
phy of each contributor. The price of the
first quality binding, octavo size, with steel
portraits of many of the writers, five dol
lars; the second quality, bound in muslin,
three dollars and a half; the cheapest qual
.' ity. two dollars.
The Home for Invalid Ladies is not de
signed simply as a hospital or ioiirmatory,
hut a complete pleasant and beautiful re
treat for invalid ladies of respectability—
stately, elegant, and commodious. The in
terior is to be furnished with all necessary
medical apparatus, baths, and other appli
II anees ; a library of choice reading, musical,
i instruments, and paintings to adorn thej
walls, while the grounds will be ornament
ed with stately trees and flowering shrubs,
and riding facilities furnished by the in
mates. Such healthful accessories, togeth
er w ith the best medical attendance, can not
fail to restore the Moon, to the pallid cheek,
and bring elasticity to the faltering step
and wasted form of the invalid. The
“ Horne” will be bmlt on a beautiful emi
, neiice near the Mineral Spring in this citv,
the waters of which have been tested a
highly beneficial in many diseases.
But while Dr. Powell, by the. sale of the
' book, and his own means, will erect the
building, the ladies desire to furnish it lr,
donations from all ladies throughout the
I Confederacy, who will give one dollar < r
■ more, and will be glad to have any eontri
butions from gentlemen who wish suee« <.-
to the enterprise. It will require a consid
erabie amount of money to turn sh the
• home as is desired, but w e know there is
■ enough wealth and generosity among the
I' Southern penpie to accomplish this if they
. will only promptly respond to the call. —
i The la lies of the North built a similar in-'
I' stitution some years ago, and as the supe
; rior valor of our troops has been fully test
ed during the war. Southern women will
surely not prove themselves inferior in
J generosity and benevolence towards their
own sexto the women of the Northern
states. The name of every donor and the
amounts given will be promptly recorded
and at a suitable time will be published in
paTnphlet form, circulated through the
country, and permanently kept in the insti
tution. This donation fund will be given
to Dr. Powell to make the purchases in
Europe that can not be obtained here. He
will report to the committee of ladies the
amount of money received and expended,
and this will be published. After the
“Home” is completed, he pledges himself
to return this donation fund in gratuitous
medical attendance upon needy invalid la
dies of respectability ; so while this amount
will furnish the “ Home,” it will also be the
means of restoring many a poor woman to
health, who might otherwise find death a
welcome release from her sufferings.
As the building will be erected as soon
ss possible, it is earnestly desired to have
this donation fund collected at once, so
that, soon as needed, there may be no de
lay in its appropriation. Let all who can
and will aid us, do so immediately. We
do not say that if the enterprise fails, the
money will be refunded, for it can and must
succeed, and be completed at the earliest
possible time. Nothing need .prevent it
but the want of generosity and humanity
among the Southern people.
All subscriptions for the book must be
forwarded to Dr. Powell, Atlanta, Ga.;
but donations for the Home, to Mrs. J. N.
Simmons, of the same place; and please <
let the names, post office and State of all
subscribers, or donation, be plainly and
fully stated. If any one wishes to send six ■
dollars, five for the book and one as a do
nation, please state it so.
1* any gentlemen of the press, who were
not present at the Convention, are disposed
to assist in this enterprise, we will be un
der many obligations if they will copy this
circular. The Home for Invalid Ladies is
not for the benefit of one State, but for the
entire limits of the Confederacy.
Since the above was written, it has been
suggested by an influential merchant friend,
that perhaps there are numbers of this class
—traders and merchants throughout the
Confederacy—-who would like to give some
thing from their articles of commerce as a
donation to the “ Home,” instead of the
money. We will be grateful for anything
of the kind ; and any merchant who are
willing to aid us in this way, if they will
send their contributions to the following
named gentlemen, they will be sold at the
market price, and the money sent to us, —
or if not sold, the commodities may be
shipped to Salmons and Simmons, of At
lanta, Ga., and the amount which each arti
cle brings will be credited to the generous
f1( ir.
Each person donating twenty dollars or
more shall receive, when published, one
copj of the work entitled, “Moral Beauties
from the Heart of Woman? worth, ten dol
lars, and credited with a donation of the
amount received, deducting ten dollars for
the book.

A Sad Day in Tuskegee.—lt becomes'

<>f two of our most useful and distinguished 1
[citizens. Ou Wednesday night, the fourth!
of March, between the hours of ten and
eleven o’clock, the Hon. W in. K. Harris,
Judge of the Probate Court, and Thomas
L. McGowen, Sheriff of Macon county, died |
at their respective residences, in this place, ;
within halt an hour of each other. We
know not w hen our ts.nnmunity has been so
shocked. Judge Harris had been elected
not quite a year to the position he was fill
ing. Mr. (Jowen had been for many
years in public office, ami was, without*
doubt, one <>t the most faithful and efficient
officers we ever had in th** county. Judge
Harris died of inflammation of the bowels
—Mr. McGowen of the congestion of the
brain. The latter ha I just returned from a
trip to the army of Tennessee, whither he
had been called to look after a sick son,*
who had died before he reached the armv
—was taken sick at once, and died within a
few days. They were both buried in Tus
kegee on Friday morning, after suitable
funeral exercises at the Presbyterian church,'
conducted by the pastor, Mr. Nall.

her own family. She was taken ata time when
her children were of all ages, from helpless in

mother to dry the tears of childhood, others
need her plastic hand to mould their characters
for usefulness, while ail have lost what none can

HOPE, FAITH, LOVE.
There are three lessons I would write—-
Three wores—as with a burning pen,
In letters of eternal light,
Upon the hearts of men.
Have Hope ! Though clouds environ now,
And gladness hides her face with scorn,
Put thou the shadows from thy brow ;
No night but hath its morn.
Have Faith! Where’er thy bark is
driven—
The calm’s disport, the tempest’s mirth,
Know this : God rules the hosts of heaven,
The inhabitants of earth.
Have Love ! Not love alone for one ;
But man, as man, thy brother call;
And scatter, like the circling sun,
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these lessons on thy soul—
Hope, faith, and love—and thou shalt
find
Strength, when life’s wildest billows roll;
Light, when thou else wert blind.
The Baptist Banner.
FOR 1863.
The proprietors of The Baptist Banner
would inform the reading public, especially
heads of families, that, as an excellent
HOME PAPER,
THE BANNER shall be surpassed by none.
It will be published every Saturday morning
in Atlanta, at the rate of three dollars a year—
subscriptions taken for any length of time.
The LADIES, the CHILDREN, and the
SOLDIERS IN OUR ARMY, will receive
special attention ; and each number, in addi
tion to a carefully prepared synopsis of reli
gious and secular NEWS, will contain a good
STORY—together with entertaining Miscella
nies, Sketches, etc.
The Child’s Index.
This handsome and attractive paper for
children is published in Macon, Georgia, by
S. Boykin, editor of The Christian Index.
It is denominational in character, and at the
same time well calculated to instruct chil
dren in regard to gospel truth, home duty
and a Christian life. It is illustrated with
pictures, printed on fine paper, and its tone
and articles are such as to improve and en
tertain children. Every Baptist family in
the South containing children should sub
scribe for it.
It is published monthly for one dollar;
but where st veral or many copies are taken
three copies will be sent to one address for
every dollar remitted. Address simply,
S. BOYKIN, Macon, Ga.

tists of the Confederacy, The Child's Index,
I ’ 4—Rodkin Maftoll. Ga.,
