Demobest’s Illustrated Monthly.—This periodical has risen from being a mere gazette ol lashion to the position of the popular par lor magazine. Ladies who take it think ‘'the world of it,” as their phrase is, and are quite sure they could not get along without it. Con fessing our ignorance of those poiuts which would enable us to do entire justice to its merits, we may freely admit that it is most carefully and conscientiously conducted, that its literary tone is far superior to the general run of parlor periodicals, that its range of topics includes nearly all interesting to women, that its information upon household subjects is complete and reliable, and its authority in disputable. Moreover, its patterns alone are worth double the cost of the magazine. A large and unusually interesting amount of read lng matter is promised for July, for country enjoyment. Three dollars yearly. Published by W. J. Deinorest, 473 Broadway, N. Y. Postponement of Operas.— The followin’; telegram, reccived'yesterduy evening, will ex plain the unavoidable postponement of the Italian Opera to Monday and Tuesday nights of next week: “Savannah, May 14,1868. “ Impossible to take away Miss McCulloch to-morrow. A large number of gentlemen waited upon her, offering a complimentary benefit. Postpone to Monday and Tuesday. Toiwiani." 0! course, to all those who have secured seats, to whom it may not be convenient to at tend on the substituted nights, their money will be retiirned. An Uni.uckv Divorce.— The Bridgeport Farmer recently announced that James M. (Irani, of Bridgeport, obtained a divorce from his wife Julio. The next day Mrs. Grant in formed the public through the columns of the same paper that the notice was the first she had heard of the matter. On Saturday last the Farmer announces that Mrs. Grant has received information from England that a deceased rela tive had left her the snug little fortune of eighty or ninety thousand dollars. Correction. —An error having occurred in tlie uame of one of the Directors of the Geor gia Railroad, as published yesterday, we give a corrected list: President— lion. John P. King. Directors— J. 8. Hamilton, Stevens Thomas, E. It. Ware, Sam. Barnett, John Bones, Jas. W. Davies, J. T. Burney, Giceu Moore, E. E. Jones, Geo. T. Jackson, B. 11. Warren, Antoine Poullain, M. P. Stovall, Richard Peters, D. E. Butler, L. M. Hill. “Monet.” —The second rendition of “Money,” by the Augusta Benevolent Society, wag a great success. Having dwelt at length upon this subject, on a former occasion, we need only say that our first impressions were deepened. In the future we hope to witness many such entertaining dramas and have (lie honor to record tlie triumphs of our devoted gentlemen and lady friends. Deßow’s Review. —The April number of Deßow, though not. quite equal in brilliancy to some former numbers, is interesting and in structive. We notice several articles showing the advantages possessed by Louisiana and Alabamn for immigrants. We earnestly advise some skilful writer to use this medium in de monstration of the unrivalled resources’of Geor gia. Editorial Change.— Mr. Joseph Clisby has purchased an interest in the Macon Telegraph and has taken charge of the editorial depart ment of that paper. It is now published by Clisby & Reid. Mr. Clisby was for many years previous to and during the war editor in chief of the Telegraph. Auction Bai.e.— Attention is called to the extensive sale of assorted merchandize, mules &c., by Messrs, C. B. Day & Cos. Epjscopai, Church. —The next annual State convention of the Episcopal churches will be held in this city in May, 1809. Personal.— We have been requested to state, in justice to Mr. M. Blankensee, by the parties who ordered his arrest, that the same was made through' misapprehension, and mat ters appertaining thereto satisfactorily ex plained. Atlanta Intelligencer please copy. mylsl An Interesting Suit. —The New York Evening Post says: Edward DeLeon, formerly agent of the Con felerate States in Europe, lias brought a suit against Charles G. Hatpin (Miles O’Reilly), edi tor of the Citizen , lor the sum of five hundred dollars. It appears that DeLeon to write a series of articles for the New York Citizen, entitled “Secret Diplomacy of the Confederacy Abroad,” for the sum of one thousand dollars. One half of the money was paid in advance, but the balance has been re lused on the ground that ttie articles furnished have not given a true history ol rebel diplo macy abroad, but in fact were mere trash.” A New Wonder. —A London musical paper says that by the adaptation of Baker’s system of electricity to organs, it is possible for a per lormer in England to play on an instrument situated in America. To have the great organ in Boston Music Hall, or that in Mr. Beecher’s church, played by the agency of the Atlantic cable, would now be regarded as no more won derful than the laying of the cable itself, shat was considered an impossibility only a few years ago. We invite the attention of onr readers to the following Military order, the interests of some of whom may be involved in it: Headquarters Third Military District, i (Department of Georgia, Florida A Ala.,) ( Atlanta, Ga., May 12, 1868. > General Orders, No. 77. The Board of officers convened by G eneral Orders No. 74, current series, having reported that many charges have been referred to them which if proven would not in anv way affect the resnlt of the late election in this State ; It is hereby ordered: I.

A Fenian Sticking to His Oatii —The trial of William Rov, of Eastport, Me., for conspir ing with others to seize and destroy the schooner Two Friends, at the time of the Fenian invasion in Passnmaquody Bay', two years si nee, is now occupying the attention of the United States Circuit Court at Portlaud. On Saturday the District Attorney placed a witness named Michael John Mooney on the stand, and asked him the question whether in', with others, went on hoard the Two Friends on the night of May 1, 1866. Mooney refused to answer the ques tion, saying that as a member of the Fenian or ganization he was hound not to reveal anythiug that would criminate others, and he wished to keep his conscience clear. Hi; was warned of the penalty of refusing to answer the question, unless it was for the reason that it would crimi nate himself. Mooney declined to answer, not on the ground that it would criminate himself, hut that it would Criminate others, anil was committed to jail for contempt ol court. Dress in Men and Women.—Women are accused very unfairly of being over-extrava gant. Asa rule men are far more so, and the account against them is principally due to those who fritter everything they gain or sell in numberless and nameless trilies. A woman has a natural title to being well clad—to being indeed clad so as to make the most of her ap pearance. She lias a taste for jewelry. To de ny her ornaments is io stifle a genuine and reasonable instinct. But a man who parts with a considerable portion of his income in order to comply with every freak of his tailor, and who really seems to have only used his brains upon the patterns of neckties, is one of the most pitiable creatures alive. A gentleman ought to be correctly and neatly dressed. A Radical Official in Limbo.—On Tues day the grand jury ol the Superior Court found a true Dill agaiust Richard W.< White, negro, Clerk of the Superior Court, by virtue of the recent show of h inds at the Court House, ('or larceny of cottou after a trust delegated. A bench warrant was issued tor his arrest and placed in the hands of Officer Isaac Russell, who searched for White all the evening, and finally arrested him about one o'clock yester day morning and lodged him in jail. Yester day White gave bonds in the sum of one thou sand dollars for his appearance to answer to the' charge agaiust him. | Savannah Republican, 14 th. A story is told by Congressman Chandler, of New York, which shows that the great Eng lish novelist, now on a visit at Washington, is taking notes. A gentleman on horseback pass ed Mr. Trollope, and, Dy accident, the horse bespattered the Englishman with mud. The gentleman reined tip and apologized. "No matter, sir,” said Trollope; “ hut I would like to inquire if your horse has a name, and if not I would name him. “ Certainly,” responded the gentleman, “ you can name him.” “ Then, sir,” said Trollope, “ I name him Donnely.”— No explanation was needed. The novelist had evidently been an attendant upon the late ses sions of the House of Representatives. The discovery of an ancient Roman wharf on the Tiber has been followed by the finding ot immense quantities of rare marbles stored there, just as they were taken from the quarries. The heavy stony tribute exacted by the Caesars from the subject provinces ol Africa and (Jrecce, ami unemployed in the fabrics of heathen Rome, lias re-appeared alier an immersion of many centuries in the muddy bank of the Tiber, and will furnish materials lor the renewal of the variegated marble pavements of ail the churches in Rome for centuries to come. Jkffeiison County Prisoners. — The Jeffer son countv prisoners were turned over yester day to the civil authorities on a bench warrant from flic Judge of the Middle Circuit. The sheriff ol Jefferson couuty, Mr. Jesse. T. Mul lings, aud his deputy, Mr. W. 11. Fay, brought the warrant up and carried the prisoners to their homes, where, they will lie tried on the charges made before a jury in their own couu ty. They left this morning. | Atlanta Intelligencer, 14 th. The Memphis papers announce the death of General William 11. Carroll, of that city, in Montreal, Canada, last Sunday. lie was sur ronuded by his family, who had expected this sad result lor some time, and his remains will be brought home for interment. General Car roll was a genial man, and had many friends in every part of Ihe State. He was a son of the distinguished Indian lighter and Governor of Tennessee, who was for years the right bower of Old Hickory ; and he served himself as a Confederate Brigadier the lirst year of the war. A loverand sweetheart while traveling though the woods in haste, met. with a melancholy ac cident, which is recorded in the following feli citous strain : And while retreating through the woods, And through the tang'ed fern, ne tore his musn’t mention era’s And had to put on hern. Sfib Bkought It. —An Irish girl in the em ploy of one of our first families was sent by the lady of the house one clay last week to a dry goods store, with instructions to bring home a bed comforter. She returned, after a short abseucc, with one of the clerks. Colonel C. F. Hampton, brother of General Wade Hampton, a large land owner in Oconee county, Miss., has expressed a willingness, with many oilier public spirited citizeus, to do nate lands to bona fide settlers—Germans and other foreign emigrants. So long as thou art ignorant, be not ashamed to learn ; he that is so lomlly modest not to acknowledge his own defects of knowledge shall iu time be so fondly impudent to justify bis own ignorance. Ignorance is the greatest of all infirmities, and, justified, the chiefest of follies.— Quarles. To Prevent and Cure Mange in Hogs.—A Maryland correspondent of the Cultivator and Country Gentleman writes as follows: I have found young, growing pigs more subject, to the mange than larger ones, and they are more subject to it in cold weather than in warm. I believe it is brought on by improper food. Corn and cold slop fed to them is a fruitful cause of mange. The remedy I have adopted is to feed with oats, sometimes dry, at other times scald them— say pour boiling water on the oats three or four hours before I feed them. By this means I furnish them with warm slop. Pigs that are fed in this way will soon get clear of the disease, but they must be fed with this kind of feed until they get rid of it, which they will do in a reasonable time. A young, mangy pig, fed with this kind of warm slop, will soon begin to thrive and get well. What is the difference between editors and matrimonial experience V In the former the devil cries for “copy.” Iu the latter the “copy cries like the devil.” BY TELEGRAPH. ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES. Congressional. Washington, May 14. Senate—Not in session. House. — After unimportant business the Omnibus Admission bill was resumed. Mr. Frayn spoke in opposition. Mr. Brooks followed and spoke of the unfit character of the Representatives, alluding par ticularly to Florida. Mr. Stevens interrupted, saying he was will ing to agree that Representatives lrom Florida should not be admitted. Mr. Brooks was glad Mr. Stevens agreed with him on that point, and proceeded, saying: Georgia, Alabama and others were controlled in like manner by squatters; maintaining their Constitutional Conventions and Legislatures were composed of men who had no interest in the States, who were not understood by the people nor did they understand the people. Mr. Brooks proceeded: A tyranny worse than that ever countenanced by the Czar of Russia or the Sultan of Turkey, had been per petrated upon the people there by the powers that had determined to control the elections there, by any means—no matter how or by what means. The whole object of Congression al legislation was apparent; it was all'intended to Radicalize the South, and the party in power here have amnesty, and pardon, and welcome for any man who embraces Radicalism. No mat ter what his pa6t condnct or past acts may have been, or how deeply and darkly his hands had been imbned in treason, those who accept ed Radical views were pardoned by wholesale. Mr. Paine and Mr. Bingham advocatad the bill. Mr. Woodbridge offered an amendment, to strike Alabama from the bill, which was lost — 60 to 74. Mr. Stevens’ amendment in reference to debts due loyal men in Georgia was adopted—7B to 50. An amendment striking from the first section the clause prohibiting change of constitutions and inserting “ that the constitutions of said States shall never he amended or changed so as to discriminale in favor of or agaiust any citizen or class of citizeus of the United States, in reference to the right to vote, who are now entitled to vote by said constitutions.” Adopted without division. The amendment that ail citizens ot the-United States in those Stales shaltjbeadmitted to equal rights af suffrage was rejected without division. The bill then passed—loß to 35. Adjourned.

ADDRESS To the NeivoiH aud Debilitates WHOSE SurFHRINGS HAVE BEEN PROTRACTED FROM HIDDEN CAUSE- 1 , AND AVnOSE CASES REQUIRE PROMPT TRKATMENTTO RENDER EXIST ENCE DESIRABLE. If you are suffering or have suffered from involun tary discharges, what effect does it produce upon your GENERAL HEALTH? Do you feel weak, debilitated, easily tired I Does a little exertion produce PALPITATION OF THE HEART ? Does your liver, or urinary organs, or your kidneys, frequently get out of order ? Is your urine sometimes thick, milky or flocky, or is it ropy on settling ? Or does a thick scum rise to the top ? Or is a sediment at the bottom after it has stood awhile ? Do you have spells of SHORT BREATHING OR DYSPEPSIA ? Are your bowels constipated ? Do you have spells of fainting or RUSHES OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD ? Is your memory impaired Ir Is your mind constantly dwelling upon this subject! Do you feel dul', listless, moping, tired of company, Os life 1 Do you wish to be let alone, to get away from every body ? I Does any little thing make you START OR JUMP? Is your sleep broken or restless ? Is the lustre of your eye as brilliunt ? ’The bloom on your cheek as bright ? Do you enjoy yourself in socioty as well ? Do you pursup your business with the same energy ? Do you feel as much confidence in yourself? Are your spirits dull and flagging, given to fits of melancholy ? If so, do not lay it to your LIVER OR DYSPEPSIA ? Have you restlesa nights ? Your back weak, your knees weak, aud have but little appetite, and you attribute this lo DYSPEPSIA OR LIVER COMPLAINT ? NOW, READER, SELF-ABUSE, VENEREAL DISEASES BADLY CURED, AND SEXUAL EXCESSES, ARE ALL CAPAPAELE OF PRODUCING A WEAKNESS OF THE GENERATIVE ORGANS. The organs of generation, when in perfect health, make the man. Did you ever think that those bold, defiant, energetic,- presevering, eucees.-ful business men are always those whose generative organs are in per fect health ? You never hear such men complain of being melancholy, of nervousness, of palpitation of the heart. They are never afraid they cannot succeed in business; they don’t become sad and discouraged; they are always polite and pleasant in the company of ladies, and look you and them right In the face—none of your downcast looks or any other meanness about them. Ido not meun those who keep the organs in flamed by running to excess. These will not only ruin then- constitutions, but also those they do business with or tor.
