n re, NevJr have the discussions run high
ef t!i ui >1 late in tile legislative body. We have
bad to listen to the'pros and cons and see
LIBERTY ON THE STOOL OF REPENTANCE,
where it will have to remain for yet a while, as
our Government is of opinion that we are not
yet ripe enough to enjoy it without abusing
it. The. members of the opposition, aided by
the 4b dissenting ministerial deputies of a lib
era! tendency, and now called the tiers parte,
proposed an amendment to the address, praying
that France might now be put on the same
footing with England, Belgium and other coun
tries ; that is to say, that interior liberties and
the liberty of the press be no longer withheld
from the public. Mons. Jules Favre and other
opposition stars spoke very eloquently in favor
of the amendment, and many unpleasant things
were told to the Government after the tiers
parte had chimed in with the Radicals, and
said all it had to say. M. Rouker, the Minister
of State, made a very long and able speech to
defend the Emperor and the policy of his min
istry ; he assured the House that it was the
wish of the Emperor to give progressive liberty
to the country ; but out and out liberty must
for the present, he says, sit on the stool of re
pentance, together with the liberty of the Press
and the liberty of meeting, as when it has its
own way, it does not know how to bohave it
self.
The majority of the House found Mons. Rou
ker’s arguments most satisfactory, and in con
sequence voted against the amendment, not
withstanding the special pleading of Mons.
Emile Olliver, formerly Radical, and lately
come over to the tiers parte.

hung and quartered. The Radicals will no
doubt return to the attack in 1806-’67, and so
on, until the general election of 1869.
The address of the legislative body was pre
sented a few days ago to the Emperor, and, cu
riously enough, three of the most inveterate
leaders of the opposition were called upon to
form a part of the deputation to the Tuilerio*.
Mons. Jules, Favre Marie, however, de
clined the honor. The
ANSWER OF THE EMPEROR TO THE ADDRESS,
contrary to expectation, was couched in very
measured and mild terms. Napoleon recalled
to the memory of the country that he had re
stored order and security to France, that h«
meant to continue to do everything for itfc wel
fare. It was, he said, of no use to give way to
fascinating atopias, but to vie one with another
in order to consolidate the work begun.
The coutre coup of the late debates in the
French Chamber could not fail to make itself
felt on the Parisian public. The result has
been a
FERMENTATION
in every quarter, which has manifested itself on
many occasions. An agitation has now begun,
not amongst tho working classes, but in the cen
tre of Paris elegant, tho opera, which boasts
of collecting within its walls the very pink of
fashion. As every kind of demonstration of a po
litical nature is forbidden to the public, it takes
every opportunity of venting its spite in any
other manner possible. A few evenings ago,
the public at the Opera House aroused itself by
honnding down a singer, who had at t he shortest
notice, taken the part of Eleazar , in place of the
famous Tenor Villaret, who had been prevented
from appearing through sudden indisposition.
The police interfered to protect the inoffensive
actor, but this only served to irritate the audi
ence, which hooted and yelled most lustily at
the Sergeantsde Ville, while in the execution of
their duty. Several persons were arrested for
having sang the Marseillaise, which has several
times been the forerunner of a revolution.
On the following day a manifestation of a
much more serious character took place at the
Odeon theatre, which is generally frequented by
the students of the quartier Latin. It having
been made known that the Emperor and the
Court intended being present at the first per
formance of M. Emile Aligner’s new play of
“La Contageon," the scholars of the classic
quarter dete’ miued not to let the opportunity
go by to let his Majesty know how attached
they were to the garden of the Luxembourg,
which it is the. intention of the prefect of the
Seine, Mons. Haussmann, to deprive them of.
A GREAT MANIFESTATION OF THE PARIS STU
DENTS
took place as soon as the Imperial carriages
appeared. The Emperor was greeted with
loud cries of “ Vive In Liberte," and “ Do not
destroy the Luxembourg .” Inside the theatre
more order was observed, as the audience may
he said to have been packed with officials of
every kind, and care had been taken to keep
out as many of the youthful peace breakers as
possible. Nevertheless, the cry of “ Viva le
Luxembourg was heard from time to tint*.
Their Majesties left before the play was termi
nated, no doubt not much pleased with the
manner which they had spent their evening.
I must say much for the new piece,
LA OONTAGEON.
It is highly sensational and photographic of
modern life, as are most pieces now produced.
The language is often of an exalted character,
and some passages, which alluded to the cor
ruptions of the day,
“holding the mirror up to nature,”
were received with great applause. Many of
our dramatic authors are doing their best to
lash with unsparing hand the follies of the day.
We Lope that success will attend their efforts.
MONS. PHEVOBT PARADOL AT THE TCILBRIES.
As is the custom, the last received member
of the Institution is presented to the sovereign.
Mons. Prevost Paradol was, on Sunday last,
honored with an interview by the Emperor. The
new academician was accompanied by Mons.
Guizot. H. J. M. received both most gracious
ly, and expressed his regret to Mons. Paradol
that he should see him amongst the ranks of the
opponents to the Imperial dynasty.
I hear that the academician left the Tuileries
delighted with the atiability of the Emperor,
who showed particular opinion to Mons. Gui
zot. H. M. complimented the Puritan cx-pre
micr on his good looks, and assured him that
he was a most wonderful man for his age.
MUSIC HATH CHARMS TO SOOTHE THE SAVAGE
BREAST,
but I fear it will have a contrary effect if it
continue to annoy us as much as it has done
this Lent. Never was so much music perpe
trated in the French capital. Concerts every
where, the Cirque Napoleon being nnable to
hold all that come to hear the delicious works
of the great composers ; other popular con
certs have beeu set, on foot in the Champs Ely
sees, which are equally well attended. If things
go on in this manner the French will end by
surprising our Tuetonie neighbors as eonos
ei-ente of classical music. Berlioz and Wagner, at
whom the musical public formerly turned up
its nose, are now beginning to be appreciated
by the Parisian public.
Formal Excommunication orDR. Colenso.
—The late mail from Natal brings news of the
formal excommunication of Dr. Colenso, of the
Episcopal Church, which took place on Sunday,
the 6th of January, at the Cathedral of Maritz
burg, at the early service, when the Dean read |
the sentence as follows:
“In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ—We,
Robert, bv Divine permission, metropolitan of
the Church in the Province of Capetowu, in ac
cordance with the decision of the Bishops of the
Province, in synod assembled, do hereby, it
being our office and oar grief to do so, by the
authority of Christ committed unto us, pass
upon John William Colenso, D. D., the sentence
of greater excommunication, thereby separating
him from the communion of the Church of
Christ so long as he shall obstinately and im
penitently persist in his heresy, and claim to
exercise the office of a Bishop within the Pro
vince of Capetowu. And wo do hereby make
known to the faithful in Christ that, being thus
excluded from all communion with the Church,
he is, according to our Lord’s command, and in
conformity with the provisions of the XXXIII,
of the Articles of Religion, ‘to be taken of the
whole multitude of the faithful, as a heathen

DEBATE ON TnE VETO—EXTRAORDINARY
SPEECH OF SENATOR WADE.
A few minutes before 5 o’clock, p. m., the
discussion in the Senate upon the Veto, un
expectedly to some, came to a conclusion.
Senators Dixon and Wright, who have been ill,
had deemed it imprudent to sit »nt the long
session upon the mere possibility that a vote
would be taken this afternoon, and beside it
was not expected that a vote would be taken
until to-morrow. Consequently the two Sena
tors named were not present. When at. the
hour above mentioned, a motion to fix 4 o’clock
to morrow as the time for taking the vote come
tip Mr. Hendricks urged that the Senate agree
to the motion, and adjourn to this proposition.
Senators Sherman, Trumbull, and other tem
perate and fair-minded gentlemen assented, but
the Radicals, incited by Mr. Wade, resisted the
motion.
The indications being unmistakable that the
proposition V>f Mr. Hendricks would prevail,
Mr. Wade took the fioor, and in one of his pe
culiarly bitter and denunciatory speeches,
urered an immediate vote, upon the ground, in
ferentially, that as the Senate then stood the
Radicals could pass the hill. This speech was
full of acerimonious allusions to the President ;
and in the course of his remarks Mr. Wade
said, substantially, that it was a blessing that
the absent Senators were too ill to be present.
He was for taking every advantage which the
Almighty had put in their hands, and he thanked
God, &c., Ac. To these remarks, listened to
with surprise and regret by many of the Sena
tors, Mr. MeDougal rose and administered a
most effective rebuke, which was pronounced
by Republican members as most fit and just.
The scene was most impressive. The whole
assembly seemed to be in full sympathy with
Mr. MeDougal’s brief speech and the counte
nances of all, save Mr. Wade, plainly respond
ed amen to all he uttered. Mr. MeDougal
said :
Mr. President, the Senator from Ohio is in
the habit of appealing to his God in vindica
tion of his judgment and conduct. It is a com
mon thing for him to do so; but in view of tho
present demonstration it may well be asked
who and what is his God t In the old Persian
mythology there was an Oromasdes and an
Ahriman —a God of light and beauty, and a
God of darkness and death. The God of light
sent the sun to shine, and gentle showers to
fructify the fields. The God of darkness sent
the tornado and the tempest and the thunder,
scathing with pestilence the nations. And in old
Chaldean times, men came to worship Ahriman,
the God of Darkness, the God of Pestilence and
Famine, and his priests became multitudi
nous ; they swarmed the laud ; and when men
prayed then their offerings were: We will not
sow a field of grain ; we will not diga well; we
will not plant a tree. These were the offerings
to the dark spirit of evil until a prophet came
who redeemed that ancient land. But he did it
after crucifixion, like our great master. The
follower of Ahriman always appealed to the
same spirit manifested by the Senator from
Ohio. Death is to be one of his angels now, to
redeem the Constitution and the laws, and to
establish Liberty. Sickness,suffering evil are to
be his angels, and lie thanks the Almighty, his
Alnughty, that sickness, danger and ceil are
about. It may lie a good God for him in this
world; but if there is any truth in what we
learn about the orders of religion in this Chris
tian world, his faith will not help him when he
4 hall ascend up aud ask entrance at the crystal
oors. If there can be evil expressed in high
places that communicates evil thoughts, that
communicates evil teachings, that demoralizes
the youtli who receive impressions as does the
wax, it is by sucli lessons as the Senator from
Ohio now teaches by word of mouth as Senator
in this Senate hall.
Sir, the President of the United States is a
constitutional officer, clothed with high power,
and clothed with the very power which he has
exercised in this instance, and those who con
fered upon him those powers were men such
as Madison and'Jay and Hamilton and Morris
and Washington, and a host of worthies, men
who, I think, knew as much about the laws of
government and how they should be rightly
balanced as any of the wisest who now sit here
in council. It is the duty of the President of
the United States to stand as defender of the
Constitution in his place as conservator of the
rights of the people, as tribune of the people,
as it was in old Rome when the people did
choose their tribunes to go into the Senate
Chamber among the aristocracy of Rome, and
when they passed laws injurious to the Roman
people to stand out and say, “ I forbid it.”
That is the veto power, incorporated wisely
hv our fathers in the Constitution, conferred
upon the President of the United States, and to
be treated with consideration; and no appeal of
the Senator to his God can change the Constitu
tion or the rights of the President of the United
States, or can prevent just consideration of
the dignity of the Senate body by persons who
have just consideration, who feel that they are
Senators. It is a strange thing, an exceedingly
strange thing, that when a few Senators in the
City of Washington, ill at their houses, give as
surance that they can be present to act upon a
great public question on the day following, that
we should hear a piece of declamation, tlie
Senator appealing to his God, and saying, with
a ‘triumphant air, well or ill, God has made
them ill. Sir, the God of Desolation, the God of
Darkness, the God of Evil, is his God. I never
expected to hear such objections raised among
honorable men. I never expected to hear such
things in this hall, and I rose simply to say that
such sentiments were to be condemned, and
must receive my condemnation now and here,
and if it amounts to a rebuke, I trust it may be
a rebuke.
The motion to adjourn prevailed, and, by
agreement, 5 o’clock to-morrow was fixed as
a time to take the vote.
THE COLLECTION OF DIRECT TAXES IN THE
SOUTHERN STATES.
The President to-day transmitted to the
, House a communication from the Secretary of
j the Treasury, together with a letter addressed
by him to the Governor of Alabama, asking
that the State of Alabama may be allowed to as
sume and pay in State bonds the direct tax now
due from that State to the United States, or
that delay of payment may be authorized until
the State can by the sale of its bonds or by
taxation make provision for the liquidation of
' the indebtedness. The President concurs in
the opinion of the Secretary of the Treasury,
that it is desirable that the State of Alabama
and the other Southern States should be allow
ed to assume and pay their proportion of the
i direct taxes now due, and therefore recom
mends the. necessary legislation by Congress.
1 The entire sum assessed on real estate by the
act of Congress is twenty millions, the propor
tion of Alabama being nearly $530,000.
UNSWORN OFFICIALS.
Mr. Sumner succeeded this afternoon in pass
ing his resolution calling for a supplementary
report from the Secretary of the Treasury and
the Postmaster General, of the number of eases
and names of parties where the test oath has
been modified in the appointment of officials.
It is understood that Mr. Sumner bases bis ac
tion upon what he alleges to be the practice of
the Treasury and Post Office Departments in
the appointment of assessors, <fce., in the South,
where, as has often been explained in these dis
pntelies, it is impossible to find a sufficient num
ber of competent persons to fill the offices who
can take the test oath to the letter.
THE DAVIS HABEAS CORPUS CASE ABANDONED.
Your Richmond correspondent telegraphs
that, after consultation, it has been agreed by
the friends of Jeff. Davis, to abandon the move
ment for a writ of habeas corpus for the pre
sent, because of the embarrassmeut it would be
to President Johnson.
VISIT OF A. H. STEPHENS TO GENERAL GRANT.
Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia, attracted
considerable attention at the White House yes
terday and to-dav, but owing to the crowd of
visitors waiting for admission was compelled
to leave without seeing the President. He call
ed upon General Grant yesterday, and the Gene
ral returned the compliment this morning.
The conversation naturally turned on Southern
affairs and reconstruction. Mr. Stephens re
iterates his positive convictions that the people
of Georgia are sincere in their expressions of
submission and future loyalty, and naturally
desires the speedy admission of her representa
: tires.
Congress and Business.— The dry goods
| trade is at a stand still. A crash is impending.
'■ Imported goods, ordered long ago in anticipa
l tion of an immense spring trade, are pouring in
i upon our merchants; hut no goods are sold.
I What is the reason of tins stoppage in bnsi
ness ? It is the radicalism of Congress. Our
merchants counted upon a large influx of buy
ers from the South as soon as the war was over
and the Union restored. The war is over; but
Congress persists in keeping the South out of
the Union. Consequently there is no Southern
trade. The Western merchants arrive here,
look about, see no business doing, no rivalry,
no competition, and conclude that they will
wait awhile before purchasing—“until things
get settled.” There is now‘no sale for the
goods produced by our manufactories. Pres
ently the manufactories will have to stop work.
Then we shall see thousand* of people thrown
out of employment, starvation staring them in
the face, their children crying for food. Riots
will follow, and perhaps a revolution. Why is
all this ? Not because of the high price of gold ;
for gold is lower than at any time during the
war. Not because of the tariff; for that has not
been changed since the war. No ; it. is because
a few dozen Radicals in Congress have made up
their minds to ruin the country or carry the
next Presidential election by negro votes, or by
the exclusion of all votes from the South. It
is because another rebellion, more wicked than I
the last, is tugging at the vitals of the nation. !
It is because a few meu at Washington prefer
their party to their country.. Let the people
mark them well, and remember them in future.

Three Exiled Confederates. —The Lon
don correspondent of the Mobile Register thus
writes:
Mr. J. P. Benjamin, late Confederate Secre
tary of State, is now regularly entered as a law
student of Lincoln’s Inn to qualify for admis
sion to the English bar. As it i* mua i unc } er
these circumstances to enter at the same time
the office of sonic practicing barrister to become
acquainted with the routine, lie has selected for
t H ß J?u l ! r^ BeMr Pollock » son of the doughty
old Chief Baron of that name. Bv the rules Mr
Benjannq, is required to wait three vears before
he can be “called,” but it is expected that in so
exceptional a case some special indulgence will
be shown, and one year of this period will pro
bably be remitted. 1
Capt. J. D. Bullock, who is almost a towns
man of yours, and who during the war acquired
a world-wide celebrity as the builder of the
Alabama, Florida, Stonewall, and the two best
iron-clad vessels in the English navy, for which
however, they were not designed, as well as for
other involuntary contributions to the naval
strength of Russia, Denmark, Peru, and sundry
other powers, has started a commission busi
ness in Liverpool, under the style of Bullock «fc
Robertson.
The death, after a very short illness, at Wies
baden, in Germany, about a month ago, of Capt. I
Senac, of Pensacola and Mobile, formerly Pay- ;
master of the United States navy, and more re- !
cently holding the same position in the Con- i
federate navy, is doubtless no news to the ma- j
jority of your readers.
Letter from Oxford, Ga.
[Special Correspondence of Constitutionalist.]
Oxford, Ga., April 6, 18(56.
The weafher for the last few days has been
quite warm and summer-like, and forest and
field are rejoicing in the garniture and melody
of spring. Farmers are busily engaged in
“pitching their, crops,” and, with propitious
seasons, “ Old Newton ” will teem with plen
teous harvests. The wheat now promises well,
and, although peaehca will be short, there is a
flue prospect of an abundance, of other fruits.
With our Federal relations satisfactorily de
fined and established, civil rule fairly inaugu
rated and supreme, we may fondly hope a new
and brilliant future will open to the South.
That it will soon be able to boast its thousands
of prosperous cities—its innumerable towns
and villages—bound together by telegraphic
wires, railroad net-work and navigable
streams —but, above all, by those moral and
social ties which give strength and beauty to
our political fabric.
At the March term of the Superior Court for
this county but few cases were presented by the
grand jury for criminal prosecution. There
have been comparatively few breaches of the
public peace, and the people are generally
sober, industrious and orderly ; perhaps never
more so, notwithstanding the demoralizing
inttuence of war. So exemplary and satisfac
tory lias been the deportment of the freedmen
thus far, that the grand jury made the following
presentment upon the subject :
“ From reliable information from different
parts of the county, the grand jury arc pleased
to learn that the general deportment of the
freedmen is as satisfactory as could have been
anticipated, in view of the peculiar circum
stances which surround them. Involuntarily
and suddenly deprived of the guardianship of
provident and humane masters —intoxicated
with vague and extravagant notions of liberty,
it would be strange and even miraculous, if
they were entirely free from the excesses and
irregularities so prevalent among our white
population. Unexpectedly, and without the
necessary preliminary preparations, thrown
upon their own resources, their menial, moral
and physical condition powerfully appeals to
our sympathy and kindly offices. In the spirit
of true and genuine philanthropy, let us show
to this unfortunate class of our population, that
in their changed relations we are still their
true friends. Instead of overreaching and de
frauding them by taking advantage of their ig
norance and inexperience, we should, in all our
dealings with them, be governed by the strict
est principles of equity, justice and liberality.
That man wlio wantonly oppresses the hire
ling in his wages, not only sins against God
and perpetrates a personal wrong, but is an
enemy to the public weal ; lor by discouraging
and disaffecting the laboring classes, and driv
inn them from our midst, we strike.a fatal blow
at the productive industry of the State.
“Before dismissing this subject, the grand jury
would express their hearty concurrence with
the views ol His Honor enunciated to this body
in his excellent charge in regard to the educa
tion of the children of in our coun
try. Without being prepared at this time to re
commend any particular or definite plan by
which this desirable end may be reached, much
less to devise means for its support, we would
urge upon each family and neighborhood to
avail themselves of all the aids and appliances
within their control for the mental illumination
and moral culture of this portion of our popu
lation. This is alike our true policy and high
duty.”
. Georgia Items!
Atlantic and Gulf Railroad.— What every
one devoutly believes—and with great reason for
the belief-—is sure to be so. Southern Georgia
is now traversed from the Atlantic seaboard, at
Savannah, by the Atlantic & Gulf railroad, to
Thomasville, and from thence to our flourish
ing city the line is graded and awaiting super
structure. This is irrefragibie evidence that the
hopes of our citizens are based on something
quite tangible, of a bright future for Decatur
and the adjoining counties.
Immediately upon the completion of this
road to Bainbridge, a direct line of communi
cation is open from East to West byway of
Savannah, Apalachicola and New Orleans, and
tlie fact will be appreciated, and the enterprise
of Savannah and Southern Georgia repaid by
haudsome dividends in this, to our mind, the
best railroad enterprise in the whole South.
f Southern Georgian.
A .ikon' Joses.—This English pugilist, fa
in.ms for his fights with the renowned Tom
I Sayers, and more recently an orderly of Gen.
* Beauregard, is punching heads for the amuse*
m ;nt of the Savannah public.
j The Columbus Sun says that high prices for
i produce obtain in that market.
I The same journal notices that the Mayor,
during tlie week, received a communication
I from the Agent of the Freedman’s Bureau,
I sitting that General Tilson had ordered that
I the tines collected from freedmen for violating
the laws of Columbus should be turned over to
t the City Treasurer. In accordance with this
i order Captain Mosebach sent to the Treasurer
' last week a small amount which freedmen had
| been forced to “fork over.” This looks a little
| like fairness. When the Mayor tried negroes
! the flues amounted to quite a respectable sum.
| If darkies violate city laws they should be made
1 to sutler as a white man.
More Sunday Rioting.— Yesterday after
noon the negroes of the east end of the city,
near the Fort, amused themselves in fighting
with white boys, as has been their practice for
the last few Sundays. Officer Latham being in
the vicinity saw a negro level a pistol at a white
boy, and, taking deliberate aim, fired. It ap
pears that the shot, did not take effect on the
boy, but, in dodging, a brick struck him in the
eye, which brought the blood, and Mr. Latham
seeing this thought the boy had been struck,
and, making pursuit, arrested the negro and
took him to the barracks. Fie returned to find
the injured boy, but the boy said, although the
F>kll had missed him it tore the leaves off a tree
directly above his head. Mr. Latham informs
ns that almost every one of these negroes are
armed, and some have excellent pieces. He
srys the negroes who knew him had threatened
to take his life.— Savannah Herald.
Policemen Foley and McNicliols were shot
d< ad in Savannah by James Bartley a member
jof the same corps. The Herald gives a length*
1 cned account concluding as follows:
One or two other parties were examined, but
i their testimony amounted to little, and after a
| brief summing up by Mr. Philip M'. Russell, Jr.,
' and an explanation of the law, the room was
cleared, and in a few minntes the fury rendered
a verdict that said E. G. MeNichois and James
Foley bad severally came to their deaths from
gunshot wounds inflicted by a pistol at the
hands of Geo. Granger, alias James Bartley alias
Bartlett, and that the said Granger is guilty of
murder.
But little can be learned concerning the ante
cedents of the man Bartley, or Granger, which it
I appears is his real name. Chief of Police An
-1 di'rson testified that he came to him with good
I testimonials, and stated he was from Cass
! county, and had served in Lee’s army.. Mr.
Neville testified that the man had told him his
proper name was George Granger, though he
liad also known him by the name of James
Bartley.
His victims were both respectable citizens
and estimable men. Each leaves a family.—
Funeral services will he held over their re
mains in the Catholic church this morning at
ten o’clock.
The Crops in Troup. —We copy the follow
ing from the LaGrange Reporter , of Friday:
Dear Reporter: For the information of all
parties interested—and who that is a friend to
the poor man and his little ones is not interest
ed ? he so kind as to state that the wheat crop
in Troup presents at present a very flattering
appearance. Beyond the river the wheat is par
ticularly promising, while in the northern and
eastern portions of the county it is equally
good for those sections. That which was suffi
ciently advanced to he in the jointing state was
injured very little, if any, by the recent frost.
As to the corn, those who were discreet enough
to defer planting till the middle of March, have
now a fine opportunity of overtaking their
more forward neighbors, ns Jack Frost (query,
any relation of Frank ?) exhibited his relish lor
| a good thing by taking a bite at the tender corn
| just peeping above the ground. Jack thought
to give an April fooksi day or two in advance.
The farmers, young and old, are working
with a meritorious zeal, in order to, next au
tumn, obey lago’s admonition, “ Put money in
thy purse though ns the sun shines hotly the
freedmen sweat —the hotter it shines the worse
they sweat and the worse they dislike it. So
the result is seen in Cuffey’s mysterious depar
ture —nine having left oue plantation last Sat
urday. Respectfully, AT. O. T.
Alabama News.
The Huntsville Independent , of the 31st ult.,
s;.ys:
It is probable that the frost, and freeze of yes
terday morning killed a great deal of the young
peach fruit. A few days ago, while in the couti- j
try, we observed that the wheat and oats fields j
were looking well. The sowing of wheat last
fail was not extensive, and the crop will be
v ;ry short. /

On last Sabbath night and Monday morning
we had a nipping frost, which w’e fear has in

A new paper, to bcValled the "New Era," is

A young lady of Lincoln county, Tennessee,
living a few' miles from Fayetteville, named
M Iss Mary A. Hampton, killed an eagle meas
uring nine feet from tip to tip, and which had
been seen frequently to swoop upon a flock of
sheep, seize a full grown one in its talons and
rising high Into the air, successfully carry off
its prize. The fair huntress is on the watch lor
the mate of this monster bird, which is said to
be still in the neighborhood.

- ' Resolved , by the Wardens and Vestryman of
the Church of the Atonement of this our. Easter
' Session, That we have heard of the decease of
1 our venerable father and friend with sentiments
! of profound sorrow; that this Church, in which
lie was an honored office-bearer, turns aside
from her Easter joys to pay to his memory the
tribute of a tear; that we hold in tender re
membrance our pleasant associations in this
Holy Sanctuary; that we cannot forget liis
, exumple of constant, assiduous and pious de
votion to his duties; that as a Christian, urbane
1 ; and upright gentleman, he was a pattern to the
■ ! community in which he so long resided; belov
. ; ed and honored in the Church of Christ, re-
I spected and venerated in the busy haunts of men j
like “a shock of corn fully ripe,” his life abound- j
1 ing in good works, he has gone to that “Rest i
j which remaineth for the people of God.”
Resolved , That our Christian sympathies are
hereby tendered to the bereaved children ol de
ceased. *
Resolved , That these proceedings be spread
upon the minutes of this Board, and that a
copy signed by the Rector be furnished to the
family of deceased. •

, published in the Journals of this city.
Ou motion, the meeting adjourned. -

! A Merited Tribute. —The Charleston
| South Carolinian thus speaks of one of the old ;
; city’s most remarkable men. From personal j
i knowledge we can warmly endorse every word |
j of this eloquent and deserved notice :
John Dickson Bruns.—We had yesterday a
j farewell shake of the hand—much to our rc
! gret that it was a iarewell—of our friend John
i Dickson Bruns, one of the Professors in our
! Medical College, and, unquestionably, one of
the most brilliant and variously endowed of all
the young men whom the South lias produced
| during the last twenty years. He is on his way I
| to Europe, and proposes to period himself iii
! professional study, and gratify a natural and
laudable curiosity which is iteelf the result of
i an eager and commanding itffefleet, vigorous
as classical, profound as enthusiastic, and as
well marked by acquisition us by endowment.
He will be absent for tlie summer, when lie
will return, under God’s favor, to the home j
which he honors, the friends who.love him, the ,
affections which bind him, arid those proses- j
sional duties in which we augur lor him a con
stunt increase ot'« that reputation which is
already so enviably high.
—
Joseph Mayo, for many years mayor of Rich- '
mond, Va., lias been re-elected to that office !

W GEORGIA HOKE INSURANCE COMPANY.- *
It is with pleasure that we copy the folldkvinjj notice of (
the above company from the Atlanta New Eru. In this j
, community, its reliability, and promptness in immediately j
paying all losses, is well known and renders it un institu
tion of pride to our citizens. Its officers arc* courteous |
gentlemen, with years of experience in the business, to j
which fact, coupled with their erfilnent fit »*.-**« for tho P n. |
sition, its remarkable prosperity must be mainly attribu- j
i ted. The Era say*:
' Acts Speak Louder than Words.—We are gratified !
to learn, on inquiry, that the Insurance Company which !
I paid so promptly its loss by the fire on the corner of
Whitehall ami Decatur streets, is a Southern Company, i
; and none other than that reliable institution of our State, t
The Georgia Home Insurance Company of Columbus. j
: of which Mr. Jno. C. Whitner is Agent. The payment
I was made within twelve hours after the first cry of fire
j was heard, whilst smoke was still issuing from* the ruins. ,
i No third party came forward to sift, ami feel about for 1
( flaws—but the agent issuing the policy also makes the !
| payment just so soon as satisfied of its justness.
We ask our merchants and citizens to note these facts. !
The cry has been raised, that all .Southern Companies j
1 were totally mined. The answer to this is, their invest
i ments were made before the war, and were never changed. |
Their loss, therefore, was merely the profits and the labors
for four years—though some, like the Georgia Home, ,
j have even come out better than they entered the w ar. It j
! is false that they are insolvent. A most remarkable feature I
of Southern Companies is the absence of “Special Agents” .
I and “Adjusters” to settle up losses. They go on the pre
sumption, that the man they appoint ns agent is honest.
! and capable, sufficiently so to be entrusted with the re-
I sponsible duty of making out a policy promising to pay
you in case of loss, and sufficiently so as to pay up losses
when they do occur. When, therefore, you insure with j
them your last transaction is with the same man—your ]
friend, your neighbor, your fellow-citizen— whom
j your first occurred.
We do not mean to be sectional in our advict, but we !
j do think when we can build up ourselves and our own j
people at the same cost and with greater advantage to
! ourselves, it is our duty to do so. There are a number of ;
Southern companies represented hero who are perfectly ;
i reliable. I
Call on that experienced Insurance man and polite
j Southern gentleman. Mr. Whitner.. at McCamy Co.’s \
\ Drug Store, and he will give you a list that will surprise !
j you.
