Railroad Encouragement to Immi gration.—At a convention of the repre sentatives of Southern railroads in Atlanta, in January last, a schedule of reduced ex cursion rates was adopted, as an encour agement to induce immigration to the broad fields and fertile lands of the South. Despite the numerous difficulties encoun tered in the inauguration of this arrange ment, the results attained have proved highly beneficial to the Southern States, in drawing thither both labor and capital, which, in the development of the latent re sources of our section, must contribute largely to swell the grand aggregate of production upon which rests the material prosperity and advancement of every phase of business at the South. Gratifying as may have been this liberal action on the part of our Southern roads, in flu; advan tages which it secured to common prosperi ty and the improvement of the vast agri cultural, mining and manufacturing re sources of our section, its success should by no means lie accepted as a release from further efforts in that direction. On the contrary, it should serve to encourage our railroads to continue the exercise of their liberality, assured, as they may well be, that in process of a very few years, they will receive, from 1 lie largely increased travel and freighting business along and over their several* lines a handsome and remunerating per ceutagc on the reduction of rates which they are called upon to make, in order to give impetus to the tide of immigration already flowing in this direction. Superintendent Hnlbert, of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, and Chairman of the Standing Committee appointed at the January Convention in Atlanta, lias recent ly issued a circular, recommending an ex tension of flu* time to which reduced rates was limited by that convention. We make the following extract: “The correspondence of the Chairman of the Standing Committee, (in connection with this movement,) which embraces the Northern States from Maine to Nebraska, and the Dominion of Canada— together with ■interesting interviews with numerous capital ists, miners, manufacturers and others, dur ing his recent extended travels in the Northern States on business connected with the Western and Atlantic Railroad, satisfies him, most conclusively, that very large numbers (amounting to thousands) are desirous, ev. u anxious, to visit the South, with a vie.k > to permanent investment and settlement, but who, up to this time, have been unable to do so, and cannot do so by the Ist of July; but who ran and will come the ensuing Fall and Winter, if the time is extended. “ In view of this existing and increasing anxiety—occasioned by what has been done —and the conyictiou impressed on the pub lic mind that the railway companies of the South, controlling ten thousand miles of road, and nearly three hundred millions of dollars of capital, can, if they will, materially aid in adding-sto the population, and in developing the resources of the South, while actually in creasing their own receipts —it has been sug gested that the issuance of the excursion certificates be extended to July Ist, 1870. 1 am gratified to state that tiie follow ing railways have already given their consent -to the extension, namely—the South Carolina, the Georgia, the Macon and Western, the Western and Atlantic, the Memphis and Charleston, the Nashville and Chattanooga, and the Nashville and Northwestern.” It is desired t hat such other of the South ern railroads ns concur in this proposed extension of time, should make it manifest at once by communication to Col. Hnlbert. How to Revive Drowned Persons As the bathing season lias now begun, and accidents by drowning are likely to some times happen, we reprint from a high scien tific authority the following directions for the resuscitation of persons, rescued from drowning before life is wholly extinct.— They may possibly prove useful in saving valuable lives, and should be preserved or remembered: 1. Lay the drowned man at once flat on liis stomach, With his face to the ground, and a folded coat or bundle under his chest. '2. Place your hands flat between his shoulder-blades and make firm pressure, so as to squeeze the air out of his client; theu turn the body slowly on to one side and a little beyond. Replace him quickly on his face. Count four, to mark four seconds of time, and then repeat the process, com mencing by squeezing the air out of the chest again. 3. Wet clothes should be removed and dry ones substituted, each bystander con tributing. The body to be' rubbed dry briskly, and the face kept from contact with the ground. 4 Do not squeeze the air out of the pa tient’s chest if he is breathing; but wait and watch, merely drying the body and changing the clothing. The Right to Examine Books.—Super visor Perry, of the District of North and South Carolina, informs Commissioner De lano that a case involving the right, of In ternal Revenue officials to examine the books of shipment of merchandise subject to Internal Revenue tax, which he was in strumental in bringing before the court at Raleigh, N. C., had recently been decided in favor of the Supervisor in every particu lar. The case grew out of the seizure by the Supervisor of the books of the North Carolina Railroad Company for the pur pose of obtaining information concerning shipments of tobacco, whisky, stills, and other merchandise, which seizure was re sisted by the freight agent of the company, whereupon the Supervisor procured an at tachment. Chief Justice Chase was pres ent at the trial of the freight agent for con tempt in having refused to obey a sum mons to appear with the books of the com pany at the Supervisor’s office, although he did not exercise jurisdiction in the case. Execution of a Negro Murderer.— At Darlington, S. C., on Friday last, Cyrus Coachman, a negro, convicted of the mur der of a merchant, Robert P. Suggs, near Florence, ou the 10th of January last, suf fered the extreme penalty of the law. This criminal confidently anticipated that lie would lie rescued by his brethren of the Union League, saying, early iu the morn ing, “I do not think I’ll be hung, as I be long to a league, the members of which are sworn to protect each other, and I do not believe they will let me be hung.” There was great excitement among the negroes of the neighborhood, and fears were enter tained that an effort would bo made by them to rescue the prisoner, but no inter ference was attempted. The sheriff' and most of the officials who acted on the oc casion were negroes. The criminal was attended to the gallows by a guard of sev enty men, all armed with guns and pistols, thirty of whom were negroes. In his la3t speech the criminal denied committing the murder, and expressed hopes of a better world. A New Notion about Piano Plating. The Louisville Courier-Journal takes up the cudgel vigorously against the prevailing idea that only girls and women should play on the piano. It says: “It is singularly unfitted for them. No woman lias the strength, and after mar riage few women have the time, to do the piano justice. It is an instrument which requires the nervous strength and energy of a man, and which cannot be neglected at all. It is suited in every way to mas culine use, and is in many ways unsuited to the use of ladies. It is not graceful in itself or the means of gracefulness in them. But its very unwieldyness is an argument in favor of it3 adaptation to boys. They cannot carry it about with them. It does not lead them among low people. It is par excellence the instrument of wealth and refinement, attracting lads to the company of ladies and gentlemen, making them fa vorites of the better class of society, and keeping them at home. It is only effemi nate because we have been in the habit of seeing it used for the most part by women. In Europe, however, every cultivated gen tleman has some proficiency as a pianist, and many of the great statesmen —Bis- marck, Disraeli and Louis Napoleon—are performers.” Superior Court. —This court closed its sittings for the first week of the term yes terday, at about 13 o'clock. The grand jury made their presentments, which will be found in. another column. The juries in attendance for the past week were dis charged, and court adjourned to Monday morning. After the adjudication of one or two civil causes on Monday, the Criminal Docket will lie taken up. The grand jury brought in the following additional true bills yesterday: State vs. Amanda McDade—Misdemean- State vs. Patrick Collins, Edward Galla her and James Gallaher —Accessory after the fact. This action is brought in connec tion with the proceedings against Starling Ferguson, a colored canal boatman, indict ed for fraudulent appropriation of goods shipped on his boat, a few weeks ago. The Murderer of Mi;. Lewis. —Sheriff Byrd, of Burke county, was in the city yes terday, armed with the proper warrant for the return to Burke county jail of the ne gro. Ben Godbey, in jail here, charged with the murder of Mr. Adkins D. Lewis, near Waynesboro, on Wednesday last. We learn, however, that he decided to allow the prisoner l<> remain iu his present place of confinement for safe-keeping. An examination of the body of the de ceased, we learn, revealed no less thaq twenty-seven cuts or stabs, from four to seven inches iu depth, thus showing the savage brutality and horrible purpose of his assailant. A coroner’s inquest, held on the deceased, resulted Us » verdict of wilful murder. Combination of Old Favorites. —By reference to an advertisement in another column, it will be seen that Col. C. B. Day has become associated with S. K. Dick in his general auctioneering and commission business. In this union there is a strength of courtesy and business qualifications and resources combined which caunot fail to at tract a large share of public patronage. The decks have all been cleared, and these gentlemen, with renewed faith and increased effort will leave no effort untried to merit the confidence and patronage of the public. During the approaching Fall they intend to supply the wholesale and retail trade with goods in all lines, at auction and pri vate sale, at rates which Mill be a terror to high prices and a cause of rejoicing to de pleted pocket-books. We heartily com mend them to a favorable consideration. Conference of Young Men’s Chris tian Associations.— An international con ference of all the Young Men’s Christian Associations of the United States and British Provinces is to beheld in Portland, Me., commencing July 14th. Every asso ciation of one hundred members, or less, is to be allowed three delegates ; for every additional hundred members, or fractional part of a hundred, above fifty members, an additional delegate may be sent, provided no delegation shall exceed fifteen in num ber. v Divorces Granted. —lu the Superior Court, yesterday, total divorces were grant ed in the following cases, by verdict of jury: Adilie Dean vs. Samuel D. Dean ; Philip Buckheidt, Jr., vs. Epsibeth Buck heidt; Win. Alexander Wiukler vs. Mar garet R. Winkler; Cary Carter vs. Emily Carter; Emily E. Ellington vs. Wiley T. Ellington. Defaulting Jurors.— llis Honor Judge Gibson, yesterday, imposed a flue of S4O each on several defaulting jurors lor the first week of the present term of the Supe rior Court.

Recorder’s Court.— lu the Recorder’s Court, yesterday morning, John Jenuings was arraigned for Ciolatiou-of the 18th sec tion. Plead not guilty. Found guilty, aud fined $5 and costs. The defendant was a member of the City Police, and was dis missed from the service yesterday mo tiling inconsequence of his eccentricity.

It is flushed with a fullness of interest for the ladies, and well maintains its ancient and established authority in the fashion world. A WONDERFUL SOUTHERN DIS COVERY. In the South, where Liver Complaint and bilious diseases prevail to so great an ex tent, there has long beeu felt a need of a medicine that would act specifically and promptly on the Liver, restoring it toils nor mal functions, and at the same time lie safe from after effects, and yet so simple that it might be used by any one. It is claimed that DR. TUTT’S VEGETABLE LIVER PILLS supplies this want. They act di rectly on the liver; their constant use will not injure in the slightest degree the most delicate constitution. Females at any pe riod may use them with great benefit, and realize great relief from the distressing nau sea which they experience at certain times. These pills are not recommended as a uni versal cure-all, but simply for diseased liver, and thosemaladies which follow a derange ment of that important organ, such as Dys pepsia, Sick Headache, Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, Costiveness, Piles, Jaundice, Sour Stomach, Ladies’ Heartburn, Chills and Fever, Foul Breath, Restlessness at Night and Flatulency. These invaluable pills may be found in every drug store of any note in the South and West. Important Correspondence. Treasurer’s Office, > ■ Atlanta, Ga., June 11,1869. j P. C. Calhoun, Esq., President Fourth Na tional ißank, New York: Dear Sir : Enclosed please find my re ply to Governor Bullock’s extraordinary and unauthorized injunction, purporting as an attempt to restrain you from further official intercourse, &c. I presume this paper of the Governor is based on my letter to you of the 24th ult., which, after rendering the $55,000 as a credit to you, I stated, in conclusion, for my own protection : “ So far as the $55,000 drawn by Gov. B. is concerned, not return ed nor reported to the Treasurer by him, but applied by him to purposes unauthor ized by law (especially the $20,000 last drawn), it will require special legislation before we are authorized to acknowledge it as a debt of this State.” By this statement it was not intended to discredit this part of your account, so far as l am concerned ; hut the amount having never reached my hands, and, so far as the Treasury here is concerned, being short the $55,000, as charged in your account, 1 was certainly warranted, as a matter of pre caution for my own protection, to state the condition of the credit rendered in my statement, and charged in your account, kuowiug it would require an appropria tion by the Legislature to cover the amount, and an Executive warrant for the same, before the terms of the law would lx; complied with, and the Treasurer’s lxioks in conformity thereto. I have no reason to doubt but such ac tiou will lie taken as to meet the amount, provided you make no further advances of like character. My office is independent of the Governor. Having beeu elected by the Legislature ami given bond iu conformity with law, the Governor has no power to enjoin or re strain you from official intercourse or busi ness transactions with me as Treasurer. What action have you taken relative to the new bonds ? Respectfully, yours, N. L. Angihr, Treasurer. New York, June 11,1869. lion. N. L. Angler, Treasurer: Dear Sir; I have yours of 11th lust., with printed copy of Gov. Bullock’s notice to this bank and your reply to the same. I forwarded to Gov. Bullock copy of your letter of 24th ult., for the purpose of bringing to his notice the following lan guage contained therein, which seemed to look towards repudiating the drafts made by him against funds borrowed by him for the State of Georgia, and which he assured the writer u° had full p«wer and authority to appropriate to the uses qf the State : “So far as the $55,000 drawn by Gov. Bullock is concerned —not returned nor reported /o the Treasurer by him, but ap plied by him to purposes unauthorized by law, (especially the $20,000 last drawn) —it will require special legislation before we are authorized to acknowledge it as a debt of this State.” This language not having the explana tion contained in your letier of the 11th inst., made it desirable ou our part that the matter should be understood at once, and in consequence, the copy of your letter of May 24th was sent to Gov. Bullock, re questing an answer. As yet, have not been able to dispose of any of your bonds at your price. Our money market has been very close since receipt of the certificates of your Secretary of State as required by the Board of Brok ers, and have not thought best to offer them for a or two. Your coupon interest, due July 1,1 sup pose, must be paid as presented, and shall continue to protect the credit of the State until otherwise directed. Respectfully, yours, P. C. Calhoun President. An Alabama Reconstructionist. —The Opelika Locomotive says of Judge Heflin, the Radical nominee for Congress in the 3d District of Alabama, that “he was a mem her of the Alabama Legislature just before and during the first two years of the war, and voted to sustain the Confederacy even to the 1 last man and the last dollar,’ but changed his course during the war, and joined the Foderals, or at least fled his sec tion for the North, and since the war has made some bitter speeches, threatening to divide, or hoping that the Federal Survey or would divide the lands of the Southern landholders with the negroes, and promis ing mules, &c.” Another report represents him rather more favorably—says that he is opposed to and opposed by carpet-baggers, and is in favor of the relief of white men from all po litical disabilities. Henry Ward Beecher is opposed to unit ing all ftPcts in one. He says: There was no one sect that had it given to it to preach all the truth. The love of Christ was too vast and too grand to be held in one vessel. He believed that the multiplicity and variety of the churches, in their forms of church government, were necessary to the effectual publishing of the truth as it is in Jesus Christ, and their mere ecclesiastical separation was not bar rier to the exercise of the spirit of Chris tian love and the unity born thereof. Narrow Escape.— Some men were ex ploring a cave in an Indian mound near Davenport, lowa, a few days ago, and had secured several stone hatchets and other relics, when they felt a movement of the earth under foot, and clambered hastily out. They had hardly reached the entrance when the ground they had been standing on within gave way, a large gnp appeared, and a mass of earth was heard to strike a pool of water an indefinite distance below with a heavy splash. The Shaker and His Velocipede.—A young Shaker, in a Connecticut communi ty, lately made a velocipede. The Elder beheld the machine, and exclaimed, “A Shaker on a velocipede can ride only in one direction—straight to the devil;’’ and smashed it with an ax. The young Shaker objected to this and left the community— other young disciples, not well grounded in the feith, joining in the indignation and revolt. Dwarf apples are grafted upon several species of sbrubbry apples known as Para dise or Doucin stocks. They frequently produce fruit when not more than two feet high, and are perfectly hardy, BY TELEGRAPH. I Special DUpa'.cli to the Constitutionalist. New York Closing Stock Qaotallous.

It is estimated that over TEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS are now annually sent North for LIFE INSURANCE, every dollar of which takes so much, from Southern vitality. Henceforth let. us keep our investments at home,and we will again assert and maintain our supremacy. This BRANCH OFFICE oilers all inducements for Life Insurance o( a perfect Home Office, with these advantages : The Capital is furnished, the expense of commencing operations lias been incurred, the success, beyond peradventure, is established, and the whole Capital ancl Assets of the Home Company stand committed to sustain it. Tlie entire management ol the Piedmont is in the bauds of Southern tnen, and its aim is to sustain Southern interests. Why, then, should Southern men place their money and the inter ests of their wives and children in the hands of Northern men, who, you know, do not love you, and who have proved that they do not desire your prosperity , and WHOSE CH ARTERS FOR BID THE INVESTMENT OF ONE CENT FOR YOUR BENEFIT? THE PIEDMONT is not only a thoroughly Southern Company, but pledges itself to invest all funds accruing in Georgia, within the Suite, under the direction of Georgia gentlemen, in whose integrity yon must have entire confidence. . THE PIEDMONT gives per cent, of net profits to her Policy holders ; issues Gold Poli cies to those who prefer to pay in Gold, or 4} Gold standard ; has already declared 40 per cent, dividend on all of its Life Policies, and, in short, offers all advantages that Southern men could ask. We, therefore, confidently appeal to Southern men to sustain an established and perma nent. institution of their own, and we cannot doubt the results. THE PIEDMONT claims to be equal in the privileges and benefits granted its patrons, to any other Company, surpassed by none, and superior to many, and only requests parties wishing'to in sure not to do so until they have examined the merits of this established Southern Company.
