CONGRESSIONAL.
As we anticipated, Congressional magnates
are busily engaged in sending the country to
the devil by means of arbitrary enactments and
unfriendly resolutions. Very far from legisla
ting for the good of the country and the good
of that Union which was so precious that it
had to be fought for by war Democrats and
speculated upon by stay-at-home Republicans,
the ingenuity of unscrupulous agitators is ran
sacked for fresh causes of disturbance and new
wedges to widen the disunion split. Every
body is supposed to have read the President’s
Message. In that important document argu
ment and expediency are exhausted. Upon
Congress is fixed, in language and statement,
unanswered and unanswerable, the everlasting
infamy of incivism, inconsistency, hypocrisy
and revenge. It is shown that every motive
for which the war was ostensibly undertaken
has been falsified, and the shibboleth of
“Union,” and “old flag,” which roused popular
sentiment and carried all classes to its suc
cessful prosecution, only a snare and a
sham, only a neat and lying device to en
slave one section and debauch another, to
widen the gap between botli sections and
make theoretical disunion a perpetual and
inexorable fact. Since, however, the sol
emn words of the Chief Magistrate have
no efficacy, nothing that the South could do or
say will avail. Step by step the Revolutionists
will go on until they have run to the end of
their tether and whelmed the whole laud in
disaster. They have gone too far to recede. It
is not their game or their inclination to go back.
The imp of the perverse holds them in thrall.
Let them pile the pyramid of wrong till it rival
ltabel and make. Ossa a wart; every story of that
pyramid only accelerates their fall and makes
it tremendous and deadly at the last. Let them
go on in evil, since it must be so- the sooner
will the collapse come and men be free mite
more. We do not court misfortuue hut need
not be intimidated by it. if it he inevitable,
those who are bravest will endure it best and
weakness, under any circumstances, would be
a folly and a crime. Let us then address our
selves to home duties and home affections, tor
getting, as far as possible, the dirty politics of
the country. We have many things to cherish
in our private relations and the best panacea
for earthly ills is to fix our thoughts upon
higher things and cultivate duties which all of
iis have more or less neglected.
Among the Congressional reports there arc
some which would extort laughter from St.
Simeon Stvi.ites petrified upon his pillar.
Who, for example, can read about the Radical
caucus and Mr. lUtmond without a loud gul-
saw ami unconcealed exultation. Here yfa
have the “ Little Villain,” fresh from the Phi I a-,
delphia Convention ai.d utterance of sublimest
principle, suddenly desertin'; a good causo, be
causa unfortunate, and eating words which
ought to have choked him, because truth, if it
had omnipotence, would kill so prodigious a
hypocrite. None can read tills report of the
caucus without a smile, for it is very evident
that all honest Radicals consider him a dirt
eater of the first magnitude aud a political ca
pon of the weakest liver. The very vote that
allowed him to remain in the “Union’’party
vyas so very uncomplimentary in its wording,
Viz : “to remain or not, at his option ’’—that no
gentleman could well endure it, much less tol
erate the remarks preceding the vote, lie will
stay, pf course, for he has run through the ga
mut of triinmiug, and any lurther duplicity is
only an additional charm.
Another comical phase of politics can be
found in a recent letter oi Seuntor Sumnuh, the
adorable OffAlvi.KS, the Adonis of fifty who has
recently taken uuto himself some fliuty damsel
of New England. His backbone must have im
proved amazingly, these latter days, aud, as far
as matrimony is concerned, “Cave canem" be
'*■ • Vrorno an extinct phrase iu his vocabulary. Xu
a private letter from Newport, Rhode Island,
the new-fledged Benedick discourses, classi
cally quoting Aooison, as if he did not like to
commit himself by language of his own which,
from loug usage, might have turned out not a
song or sermon but ouly a negro resolution.
Quoting the Spectator, he says :
“ 1 shall endeavor to live hereafter suitable to
a vnau in my station, as a prudent head of a
family, a good husband, a careful father 1 when
it shall so happen,) and as your most .sincere
friend.
Charles Sumner.”
How, is not that humorous reading lor ns
poor devils? We do not doubt the prudence,
il he is a good Yankee, we leave Mrs. S. to de
termine his goodness, but heaven torbid the
event which is hinted at as about to happen,
it, what a learned friend of ours calls a “cata
clysm of the universe,” and a waggish one de
nominates an “ everlasting smash," if such a
catastrophe, be still remote, we pray that Sum
mer may be the victim of misplaced confidence.
This sadly old planet can stand some
things, but a duplicate of Charles would be a
peremptory signal lor the last looting of the
Archangel. ,
la pondering over gloomy matters, if foolish
enough to do so, let us not forget the comical.
Our enemies should have due credit, for, if
they say and do many things to make us wince,
let us Be grateful for others which relax the
risible muscles.
Jefferson Davis.
The General Assembly would do injustice to
the p eat heart, of Georgia not to give some
formal expression of their respect for the char
acter and sorrow for the condition of the illus
trious Prisoner of State, Jefferson Davis. AH
the generous pulsations of that lieuit aic in
full union and sympathy with hi 6 sufferings
and misiortunes. Its warm affections cluster
arouud the fallen ehief of a once dear, but now
abandoned cause. There they will cluster and
centre, while men admire all that is chivalrous
in nature ; while they regard all that is constant
in purpose ; while they love all that is noble
in virtue ; while they revere all that is sublime
iu faith and respect unlading greatness of
soul.
Therefore, the General Assembly of the
State of Georgia, do resolve, That their sinccrcst
condolence and warmest sympathy are tendered
Jefferson Davis in his confinement,, and they
look forward with anxious solicitude to the
day when a magnanimous and patriotic Presi
dent shad put a term to his confinement, and
by the interposition of Executive clemency re
store him to a people for whom he so faithfully
struggled, and on account of whom he endures
with Christian fortitude the hardships of a long
and rigorous imprisonment.
Above is the preamble and resolution offered
by Hon. Mr. Hardeman, iu the House, on the
:10th. and omitted to be sent by our reporter.—
No Southerner can read it without warmly
sympathising with it; for, whatever may have
been the faults of Mr. Davis, or however inju
dicious the steps which led to his exaltation as
Confederate President, it cannot he denied that
be is a man of transcendant abilities, of purest
patriotism and of a nobility of spirit which ex
cites the admiration of the world. His long in
carceration, as the representative of an entire
people, must excite their sympathy, and arouse
their solicitude, and create within them ardent
longings for his release. They love and rever
ence him, not so much for the cause he repre
sents, as for his own worth, and for the
promptness with which he obeyed their in
structions, when seating himself at the helm of
State be encountered the perils which now sur
round him. By doing all that an honest, and
sincere, and patriotic heart could do to achieve
the mighty task imposed upon him, he has en
deared himself to the Southern people ; and if,
iu so doing, lie has made himself amenable to
the authorities that now hold him in their
power, yet the Southern people cannot forget
that he acted for them and at their commaud,
and is now suffering for them. They think
that no public good is subserved by bis long
incarceration, feeling that, alter all, the noblest
and surest way for the National authorities to
obtain the heartfelt subservience of die South
ern people, is to pursue a course ot generous
magnanimity. /
Hence it is that they ask the release of Jeffer
son Davis. —Macon Telegraph.
THk’ Last Link Broken.— The indications
are now certain that the name of the Methodist
church wilt be changed, as, thus far, in the ac
tion of the different Conferences, their decision
has been nearly unanimous. The Georgia Con
ference, now iu session at this place, by accla
mation, almost, (but three voting against) voted
for that change. Hence, there can be no fur
ther doubt that, henceforth, this gregt church
will he known to us and to our childreu qs the
41 Episcopal Methodist Church .” In this event
wc may safely say that the last link is broken
which has bound this denomination for so
many years, not only to this continent, but to
. Europe. —Sumter Republican.

Lord Derby’s Speech.
rUOJIENCE OF THE PREMIER IN VIEW OF
VAST PREPARATIONS FOR WAR.
Whatever fault Lord Derby’s opponents may
find with his Guildhall speech on other points,
they will not he able to charge him with indis
cretion on the subject of European politics. It
was hardly possible for the minister to say less,
but hardly safe, perhaps, to say more. There
has been war on the continent, he observed ;
there is no peace. He was not called upon to
give his views as to the merits of the quarrel,
or as to its possible consequences. He did uot
feel justified in throwing out any hints as to
the probability of future disturbance, or in ex
pressing confidence as to the prospects of per
manent tranquility. The head of the Cabinet
can hardly incur blame for any excess of re
serve on such topics. It may not be conve
nient for him to tell what he knows, or to di
vulge what he is about to do ; yet nobody will
give him credit for saying wh3t he merely
thinks; for every word a Prime Minister utters
should be founded on certain information, and
reveal an express purpose. Every letter from
him is considered a note, every speech a pro
gramme. But had even the Premier’s official
position allowed or his inclination prompted
him to be more communicative, it is difficult to
gee how the explanations he might choose to
give of the present state of affairs in Europo
could be made satisfactory, either to the audi
ence to which his words were addressed, or to
the world for which they were intended.
The immediate results of the late war and
peace, as we learn from the Emperor Napoleon,
have been to break up old alliances aud isolate
every European community. The invasion of
Denmark had already struck at the basis of
public morality. The quarrel between Prussia
and Austria has overthrown all barriers of in
ternational law. There is no longer any such
thing as a police *in Europe. The world is a
great oyster for the 6Word to open. Ambition
knows no hound save in the extent of its
power. • Every man’s hand is raised, against
every man ; hut, luckily, the necessity for de
fence paralyzes the eagerness for attack. Every
one is on liis guard, and order rests on mutual
fear and suspicion. In such a state of things
nothing seems easier than to lay out plans lor
fresh combinations. Every day wc have re
ports of monstrous alliances. One rubber has
rxTsooner been played out than we are to shuf
fle the cards and cut for new partners. We
hardly know, indeed, from What quarter the
most formidable danger threateus. It is hard
to decide whether Von Bismarck or Von
Beust is most bent on mischief—whether it is
Prussia that aims at new conquests, or Austria
that strives to repair her former losses. For
I lie whole of last week we were entertained
with revelations of Russo-Prussian plots. In
the East Russia and Prussia were to help them
selves to Turkey and Austria. In the North
they were to share the three Scandinavian king
doms and the Baltic between tberp. While
Prussia is thus joined in partnership with Rus
sia in the East, she is equally bound to a com
pact in the West, where she is to go halves
with France in the spoils of the
and Switzerland. Oil the other lian"if the
wolves are eager for prey, thq iambs show no
readiness to lie devoured. It was natural and
it was reasonable (or Lord Derby to express a
“ confident hope” in the pacific intentions ol
Austria aud Italy. “Now that by the transfer
ol Venelia, a burden is taken from the one, and
a long desired province is acquired by the
other,” it was indeed to he expected that they
would “ derive mutual advantages in maintain
ing friendly relations.” But it is not on the
improvement of their internal affairs and on
the development of their great interests and
resources that these two Powers are said to be
bent. Von Beust is represented as planning a
great coalition, intended to bring all-the forces
not only of Austria, but also tliose-'iftf Italy,
France aud the South German Statei, to coun
teract Prussia’s ascendancy in Germany, and to
lend a hand to Polish nationality.
One-half of Europe arrayed against the other
half—such is the prospect with which wc are
incessantly entertained by the continental press.
There is, no doubt, a.great deal that is grossly
exaggerated, palpably contradictory, and egre-
absurd in these alarming reports; but
there is also, In the midst of ajl, one truth un
deniable, and that is enough to give rise to the
most gloomy foreoodings. All Europe teems
to have only one business —to arm. The offi
cial organs of the French Government have
been only top eager to undeceive the world as
to the task aud object of the commission called
together to inquire into the condition *f the
imperial army. France is not going to disarm.
She has no intention whatever to reduce her
land or sea forces by one single man. An in
crease of the reserve, n mobilization of the Na
tional Guard, may he in contemplation ; hut
I lie fonr hundred thousand ol the standing
army arc deemed to he rather below than above
the mark, and people must prepare rather for
an increase than for a reduction in the war
budget. The example of Franco would leave
little choice for the policy of other powers, if
these needed any stimulus in their military
preparations. But the mania for “ big bat
talions” has spread to all States, large and
small. Russia is swelling her ranks by three
hundred thousand, Prussia is organizing four
new corps, Austria is remodeling and reform
ing, everywhere new weapons are tested, uew
systems discussed. The ertsfkilling
to bffonie tfi*e -f-f- 'TUT t Europe.
With all this accumulation of the means of
destruction, however, and the combative spirit
that it seems hut too naturally calculated to
foster, It is not easy to foresee front what quar
ter the signal for new hostilities fs to be given.
The immense magnitude of the forces rising on
all sides, while it equally exhausts the real
strength of them all, renders every single Pow
er unequal to a contest with any combination
that may he brought to bear against it. What
ever, for instance, may he the absolute increase
of the French army, its proportion to those of
Prussia, Austria aud Russia, will still remain
the. same as it was at the outbreak oi the late
war. It was p.ot the unprepared state of her
army Mint paralyzed Frep,ch ascendancy at that
juncture. If, as we are told, France has little
occasion to overstop her natural boundaries of
the Alps and the Pyrenees, site will not hence
forth, we think, find any inducement to look
for a field of expansion across the Rhine. It is,
indeed, hardly possible to see the real object ol
the contemplated increase of the French milita
ry establishment, at a Mine, too, when the with
drawal of the Roman and -Mexican garrisons,
while it adds to the numerical strength of the
army at home, so conclusively proves the im
potence of any amount of mere material force
to confer political influence.

There is not one of the South American re
publics that deserves to be better treated by
the United States than the Republic of Chili.—
That little State, with a mixed population of
some two millions of souls, has shown more
capacity for self government than any other of
the old Spanish colonies. She has fostered ed
ucation, encouraged works of public improve
ment, developed the mineral and agricultural
resources of the country, and by liberal legis
lation has attracted to her shores an enterpris
ing class of foreign merchants and planters.—
The dominant race in Chili, as in all the South
American republics, is of Spanish extraction,
with a good deal of pride and no little of lhat
exalted sense of self-respect which has ever
constituted a marked trait in Spanish character.
Yet to such a government, sensitive on nice
points of honor, and in matters in which its
dignity is concerned, political adventurers have
been accredited from the United States whose
alleged doings arc not only calculated to bring
into merited contempt the country they are
supposed to represent, but also to do serious
injury to the interests they were sent to pro
mote, and, if necessary, to protect. Ignorant
alike of the language, mariners, customs and
habits of the people among whom they have
gone to reside, they conduct, themselves, in
many instances, in so disreputable a mauner as
to disgrace their official positions and bring
scorn and contumely upon themselves.
The first person appointed Consul at Valpa
raiso, Chili, by Mr. Lincoln, was q lawyer of
small practice in Illinois, by the name of
Churchman. This man celebrated his appear
ance iu Chili by a series of orgies which led,
on .many occasions, to his arrest and confine
ment in the calaboose. Whether bis notorious
excesses finally induced the Chilian Govern
ment to ask his recall, or whether representa
tions were made at Washington by other par
ties, it is not easy to ascertain ; but Churchman
was at length superseded by Doctor Silvey,
against whom several indictments are still
standing in the County Court of Ross county,
Ohio, for a number of offenses that would con
sign him the penitentiary tor at least two Presi
dential terms, if he were brought to trial and
convicted.
The last official who lias distinguished him
self in Chili is (Jeneral Judson Kilpatrick.
With his career ns a soldier we have nothing to
do. His appointment as Minister to Chili grew
out ot his political campaign in New Jersey.
His speeches there wore made up of bold asser
tion, interlarded with the grossest vituperation
of all those who did not agree with him. Os
his moral character nothing was known until
the fact was made public that he took with him
across the Isthmus a disreputable woman, and
attempted and succeeded, for a short tipc, in
foisting her upon several respectable foreign
families at Panama. His conduct whilst at the
latter place was exposed in the Panama Star,
hut his friends pronounced the statement to be
false, and the matter blew over for a time.
Since then the Star lias repeated its previous
declarations, with sueli additional details as arc
“not only most discreditable to General Kilpa
trick, but disgusting to all whose feelings lire
not blunted to an appreciation of the proprie
ties of life.” The Ohio Crisis , to whicli journal
a copy of the Star has been sent, was deterred
from reproducing the particulars of Kilpa
trick’s misconduct for the reason that they
were so gross as to be improper for publication
in a family paper.
in addition to this the Crisis has recently re
ceived a letter,from a highly intelligent gentle
man, an American citizen, long an honored resi
dent of the Republic of Chili, who writes as
follows: “Our Minister at Santiago—the
famous General Kilpatrick—is not verv popular
with his countrymen. I have heard Several ot
them characterize him as a drunken blackguard,
One whom I heard speak of him thus was
»(r. , who you know is a strong Aboli
tionist. ffie police have frequently picked him
up drunk in lha streets.”
It is scarcely necessary to make any comment
on the above disgraceful revelations. They
speak for themselves. Yet it may not be alto
gether out of plnce to ask in what manner a
.party ought to be regarded which, while claim
ing to be the embodiment of all the cardinal
virtues, sends such men as these abroad to re
present the Government ot the United States Y
Macon and Brunswick Railroad.
MEBBAGE OF THE GOVERNOR.
Executive Department.
To the House of Representatives:
I have asseuted to and signed “ An act to ex
tend the aid of the State to the completion of
the Macon and Brunswick railroad, and for
other purposes,” and also certain resolutions
explanatory ot said act, both of which origina
ted in your body. The two were sigued at the
same time, being taken together, as one com
plete legislative act. It is due to myself, and
to prevent erroneous inferences, that I should
briefly present my views in regard to State aid
to such enterprises generally as a system, and
the considerations which have controlled me in
this particular case.
Georgia, as a State, has already invested
in the construction of railroads $10,000,-
000, and this has been done so judiciously as to
dispense the benefits of her investments among
ail existing railroads, and through them among
the people generally.
The chief investment has been made in the
Western and Atlantic railroad, which is the
connecting link between the other railroads in
the State and those of the We6t and North
west. This I regatd as the wisest, safest and
most comprehensive plan of extending State
aid to the whole system, aud to the citizeus
with their diversified pursuits and interests.—
A portion of the debt couverted for its com
pletion is still unpaid, aud a considerable one
has recently been added to repair the ravages it
sustained during the war. Having done this
much for the cause, it would be very unwise to
embark in a geueral system of aid in the form
of credits. Certain recent occurrence, which
need not be mentioned, her present uecesssi
ties, and her uncertain future, all admonish her
to he chary of her credit. Its indiscriminate
or lavished extension to private corporations,
would unquestionably give it a stunning shock.
Your Journal show that several of these are
now asking of her such aid. You have already
determined by your action to avoid both ex
tremes ; that of granting all such applications,
and that of refusing all. I frankly confess that
in my judgment the better course would have
been the latter, for the present at least. You
have determined in passing upon them to dis
criminate. Aside from the present embarrass
ed condition of our affairs, it might he conced
ed that there are exceptional cases, and even
now, in deference to the General Assembly, I
yield my preference as to the general policy to
he pursued on this question, and will caretully
consider the merits of each as it/nay arise.
The bill and resolution now n uder conside
ration have been assented to the following
reasons :
The Macon & Brunswick railroads connects
an important interior commercial city with one
of the best ports on the Southern Atlantic
coast—a port confessedly better ban any now
in general use on that liue. Such a port is of
incalculable value if more accessible to a fertile
interior region. The railroad communications
which Macon enjoys with every portion of the
State, and with coterminous States, are well
known. With two such termini, argument is
not needed to prove that this road will be a
most impoataut commercial highway.
One million of capital has been recently paid
in by the company and expended in construc
tion. Three hundred thousand dollars of addi
tional capital has beeu subscribed, aud though
not yet paid in, is considered entirely secure.—
Fifty miles of the road have been finished and
in daily operation, aud seventy miles more have
been graded and made ready for the superstruc
ture. Before the full amount of the State’s en
dorsement can he obtained, $85,000 of addition
al capital must he bona jide subscribed aud
paid in. Aggregating the present capital pajJ*
in and subscribed aud the means which
Legislature will place in the hands of the
pany, I am satisfied, after careful investigaßK,
that the road will be completed
ther aid from the State—a most important con
sideration. The facts and strong probabilities
as apprehended by me are the following :
1. The road is a very important one to the
State.
2. It has now bona Jide capital paid in and
subscribed exceeding oue-tbird of its cost and
equipment.
3. More than one-fourth of it is finished aud
in operation.
4. More than one-third in addition is graded
for the reception of the superstructure.
5. Without the aid asked from the State its
completion will be indefinitely postponed,
whilst with it, an early completion may he ex
pected, the necessary means having been se
cured.
fj. The title to the property purchased with
the State’s "aid will he in the State, and on all
the property there will he a ljen, with the right
of entry and use, or of sale..
7. A limit is placed upon the price at which
the endorsed bonds may he sold.
8. A contingent fund of two per cent, upon
the State’s endorsement is to he annually in
vested in the State's bonds proper and deposit
ed with tho Governor, lor the redemption of
the endorsed bonds.
Having made such security, I have come
slowly to the conclusion that an exceptional
case has been made out, and I will not dissent
from your action.
Allow me, however, most respeetfulß-to add
that it is equally incumbent upon M|General
Assembly and the Executive t’o subject each
case that may be presented, to like scrutiny,
Thai there may be neithWlFperil to State Fred it
nor rjsk of further application for State aid,
and no doubt of the success and general utility
of the enterprise.

Charles J. Jenkins,
We have heard it remarked several times, in
deed almost every one you meet, coming from
Millcdgevillc, repeats the story, that our Chief
Magistrate is iuiraicable to the interests ot the
people of Georgia. This impression has possi
bly arisen from the fact that the Governor vetoed
laws Qf the last legislative session and
all Wfcer measures of a kindred character which
in his judgment were unconstitutional. Some
one whose ambitious hopes are yet to ha grati
fied distorts these actions of the Chief Magis
trate of pur pomnjonwealtli into a willful con
spiracy against the interests qnil happiness of
the people—whose tender cords of sympathy lip
may wish at the proper time to strike for his
own account. We have no personnl relationship
with Govdfnor Jenkins whatever, nor have wc
even an acquaintance witli the gentleman, be
yond the public record he has made iu the past.
From this do we make our estimate of his charac
ter, and from tljis alone do we applaud his
honesty ot purpose, liis uniform adherence to
principles and devotion to the constitutional
obligations of his high office. It is to be re
, relied that measures so necessary to the ro
lief orrtfe people should conflict with the re
quirements qf that law which regulates his ac
tion, the Constitution of Georgia. The Govern
or is no man to shift responsibility ; he has yet
to learn the first lesson in the text-book
demagogue. To sanction measures whicflHj
be set aside by the judgment of a SupflH
Court is to exhibit either a want of
capacity or the insincerity of a dishonest
ticiun. Without investigating the question of
motives, without appreciating his honesty of
purpose, every effort is made to produce a
false impression upon the minds of the popu
lace by the circulation of such reports ns we
mention above. They affect the character and
reputation ot this great man just as the feather
would impress by its weight the solid gaanitc.
[ Central Georgian.
Sad. —Young Leonard Joues, of Columbus,
went to Gettysburg to recover the remains of
liis father, (the lamented Col. Jno. A. Jones,)
and was bringing them home by sea, wl;en the
vessel sprung a leak and was abandoned. Cap
tain Harris was not uumimitul of the mission
of one of his passengers, or of the mamory of
the dead Confederate soldier whose remains lay
in the cabin of his ship. He proffered to make
room iu his boat for the box containing the re
mains, and to bear it to any goal of safety that
he .himself might reach, but au attempt to re
move them from their place of deposit was pre
vented by the depth of water in the cabin. 8o
the shattered ship and her cargo were left to
the mercy of the winds and waves.
The drifting boats were rescued by the
United States steamship Susquehannah, on
her way from New York to Havana, with
Gen. Sherman and Minister Campbell aboard.
The passengers and cn w were conveyed to
Havana, from whence, after a stay of four days,
they were returned to Baltimore on the steam
ship Liberty.
The Columbus Sun and Times, from which wc
gather the above particulars, says :
Mr. Jones informs us that the field where
were buried the Confederate dead of Gettys
burg has been put iu cultivation, and that the
mounds and head-boards have becu leveled by
the liarrows which prepared the ground for a
crop of wheat.
He also informs us that aboard of the Sus
quehannah, a man-of-war of the United States,
he and his ship-wrecked companions were
treated with little kindness or consideration.
No remedies ana food suitable to their exhaust
ed condition were given them, and the deck
and a blanket and sail were the only accommo
drtions given to men who had been struggling
for life for days and nights against a storm of
unparallcd violence.
New Use for Birdseed. —An exchange
says : “The present increased price of birdseed
is measurably accounted for by its having come
so generally into use by many of our ladies at
the present time for the purpose of improving
their form." A religious cotemporary innocent
ly says: “It seems by the manner of its use
that it will deceive the most wary. It is 6aid to
be inclosed in small bags adapted to the proper
size and shape and attached in some peculiar
way to the underclothing, 60 that at the motion
of the body the bagged birdseed moves so as to
resemble very much living flesh. This is doubt
less a great improvement over that of cotton
and curled liair, so extensively in use in former
times,and in time universally supersede it.” The
same contemporary speaks out loudly against
Uje use (or abuse) of birdseed. It says:
“DouotleSß many unhappy marriages resulted
from deceptions arising from such sources.
Mothers, do your duty, and take this matter in
band, by seeking to exercise that influence and
authority with which you ure iuvested by your
relative position. As guardians of the wellare
of the social compact, we deem it our duty to
take the lead in this reform.”
A Reconsideration.—A motion was made
on last Monday, by Rev. H, j. Adams, a young
man of great promise and a rising star iu the
Conference, to re-consider the vote wheieby the
Georgia Conference was divided. The question
then came up In its original form and was open
for .discussion. After an animated debate, in
which many qf the ablest members of the Con

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY’S OKDltftS ABOUT
REBELS.
Many persons do r»ot fully imdiHftaud what
is.'requred by the general assentbif in its or
ders (othe churches*;. Papers are quiet
ly circulate • by a 'Many desigpiug per
sons in our congregations for signatures ad
hering to the general ;is>Mubly. They are aim
ed at the pastors and elders who refuse to carry
out the order of the assembly. Now, what are
these orders ? Let us see : On pagw£63 of the
minutes cl 1805 you will find these *ords :
“It is hereby ordered that all our presbyte
ries examine every minister applying for ad
mission from any presbytery or obiter ecclesi
astical body in the Southern States on the fol
lowing points : Whether he has in any way,
directly or indirectly, of his owqAcc will and
consent, or without external coinraint, been
concerned at any time in aidiug or countenanc
ing tlie rebellion and the war which lias been
waged against the United States ; and if it be
lound by his own confession or from sufficient
testimony, that he has been so concerned, that
he be required to confess and forsake his sin
in this regard before he shall be received.” a
So much for the ministers of the South. ®pv
what about private members ? On the same
page, a little lower down, you will find these
words; , |
“Cipirgh sessions (eiders ot _>Wffrcheß)Ari|
to' examine nil applicants 10l
by persons from the South-1
or who have been hviug iw tiie
tin' ivb.||j,.n, tlii-ir
principles on the point*above
if it be found that of their own
free will they have taken tip, arms Against (lie
United States, or that they hold slavery to be
as above stated, such persons shall not "tie ad
mitted to the church till they give evidence of
repentance for their sin and renounce their
error.”
This is bringing polilics into the church, and
the very worst kind 61 politics. _lt invades tlie
realm of private jiulgmeut, antf'destroys the
vested rights of the heart's liberty In sympathy
anil feeling. Look at it; if a man lias even
“ lived in the South since the rebellion." If he
lias “ ever, directly or indirectly ,¥ been “ con
cerned at any lime in aidiny or countenancing the
rebellion ,” he caunot get into the church until
he repents. —Free Christian Commonwealth.

A New and Grand Epoch In Medicine I
Dr. Maggibi. is tlie founder of a new Medical System 1
Tlie quantitarians, whose vast internal doses enfeeble
tho stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give prece
dency to the man who restores health and appetite, with
from one to two of his extraordinary Pttls, and cures the
most virulent sores with a box or so of A* wonderful and
all healing Salve. These two great spumes of the Doctor
are fast superseding all the of the
day. Extraordinary cures by MagguAfais and Salve
have opened the eyes of the public ot
the (so called) remedies of others, and Von which people
have so long blindly depended. MagVl's Pills are not
of the class that are swallowed by jfce dozen, and of
which every box full taken creates fbsoluto necessity
tor another. Qne or two of Maggie!’# Pills suffices to
place the bowels in perfect order, tone tho stomach,
create an appelße, and render the spirits light and buoy
ant ! There is no griping, and no reaction in the form of
constipatiou. If the liver is affected, its functions are
restored; and if the nervous system is feeble, it Is invigo
rated. This lost quality makes the medicines very desi
rable for tb© wants of delicate females. Ulcerous and
eruptive diseasoa are literally extinguished by the disen
fectant power of Maggiel’s &■ lve. In fact, it is here an
nounced that Maggiel’s Bilious, Dyspeptic and Diarrhea
Pills cure where all others fail. W hue for Burns, Scalds,
Chilblains, Cuts and all abrasions of the skin, Maggiel’s
Salve is infallible.
