This is emphatically a progressive age. Not
a day dawns, but to herald into notice some
strange invention. Revolution is the word
that qualifies the world’s action. Profiting by
the lessons of tbe part, the people are, with
rapid strides, moving forward and onward,
' turning neitiicr to tho right hand or the left.
In the pursuit of whatever is attainable. The
much leery that propels steamers over the
bosoms of our rivers and lakes, is made, at the
satno time, to break the monotony of travel by
means of music from the calliope. It has been
arranged that travelers on railroads can retire
at night in sloepiug cars, and dream the hours
away while the Iron Horse rushes madly on to
his destination. For a number of years that
band of real, true heroes—the Firemen of
America—have undergone great fatigue and
suffered much in running and working with
hand engin e. These are fast giving place to
steamers, and instead of men being required
to draw them, horses aro used, bo that tho la
bors of firemen aro greatly lessened. Mon are
growing more and more independent each day
they live. Adventure seems to control tbe
action of almost every one. There are cortain
men and women who are so constituted as to
be able to reap happiness and to onjuy the
scoues of nature, whether on land or water,
only when they are alone, and, to this end, we
find Borno who have already’exhibited temerity
enough to essay the passage of tho Atlantic in
a small boat that would most likely bo mo
tneutarily Uasbed to pieces, in even a modere
ately rough sea. Then there are those
who, not content with having the world
at their command, so far as a desire to
explore and wonder over is concsrned, are
constantly hatching out somo new devise,
making hazardous experiments, In the hope of
appropriating to themselves a sure means of
soaring aloft, as do the lark and eagle. This
sublunary sphere is too poor in charms for
them. They would court an evening’s ride in a
strata of atmosphere, not so far removed from
the Silver Urn, and twinkling stars.
In New York, another step forward has late
ly been taken. To keep line horses does not
appear to be desirable, therefore a substitute
for them has been brought into use. On tho
nfternoou of the 12th, tho papers, say, there
appeared on Broadway, much to tho astonish
ment of the Gothamites, a vehicle propelled
by steam.
Tho carriage was about eight or tea feet in
length; with iron wheels, aud had two seats
lengthwise, with comfortable cushions and
backs. It was occupied by half a dozen men,
ami was operated by one nmu, who acta both
as engineer and guide. There was very little
noise, and nothing to denote its speciality ex
cept the absence of horses and a small Bmoke
stack, about a foot oigh, at the forward end.
The stack resembled an ordinary stove pipe-
Tho carriage was turned into Grand street with
apparent ease, and that street being les3 ob
structed by vehicles than Broadway, it wa ß
driven at tbo average speed of a horse-car.
From this, ono would suppose that horses are
to be laid on the shelf.
Salaries.
There is no class of men, who are more fre
quently called upon to exercise charity, and to
console with those who may have fallen vic
tims to the changes of fortune, than Ministers
of the Gospel ; none are required to make, as
a general rule, greater sacrifices, and none
receive less material reward for their labor.
Au exchange has well said, few city Pastors
receive as liberal a salary as principal sales
men in a wboiesalo house, or as first class
clerks or cashiers. Fewer still are expected to
receive the income of a well-to-do lawyer or
physician, to say nothing of the merchant.
Now is this right ? Do business men consider
It fair f Do the men of the World, who kuow
the cost of living in cities, realize the tenden
cies to embarrassment that surrounds the Min
ister ? He may not complain, yet his appre
hensions of finance “narrows" may b<J a con
stant source of annoyance to his mind.
He would preach with power iu proportion
with his freedom from debt. Village pastors
seldom receive as much as au Engineer on a
locomotive, or foreman iu a saw mill, and, yet
preacher and pious as he is, he must uress
himself, feed and clothe his tamily. He must
ever dress genteely ; must ever have extras
for his table at baud on a mgmeui's notice ;
he must be well. supplied with books and
papers ; he must have little moneys lor dis
tressed solicitors who visit him almost daily,
or else be colled hypocritical and un
feeling; he must be ready to speak, write,
ami talk on all occasions, urn? pay his own
traveling expenses. How can he do all this
without a liberal salary ?
A narrow, mean policy has driven many a
usciul man from the pulpit iuto secular life,
aud hindered many a bright aud promising
rniud from entering the slC red professi on.
One tenth of the unnoticed wasting* and
luxuries of any congregation, added to the
minister’s salary, would not only make him
happy- and free, but lift him from threes
si:y of becoming the victim of hard sought
donations
A minister should be compensated for his
time, toil, and talent, the same as any olher
man, by a stated salary.
It is tbe religion* duty of a Parlor to visit
the sick, bury the dead, minister to the wants
of the suffering. This duty ; discharges
cheerfully and heartily. But docs any person
ever think of the fatigue he undergoes id
making these daily rounds, compelled as he is
to divide the day into hours of study and
charitable errands-going ? Does any on eever
think to supply him with shoes, that his feet be
not bare, and thet he resemble not a beggar ?
It will be remembered that last winter the
matrimonial mania took hold of a great many
young men and maidens in t .is vicinity.
Hardly an evening passed, that one or more
couples were not married. It was often re
marked, by outsiders : The preachers and or -
dinary are doing a thriving businesi thi3 win
ter ?
On an occasion, daring that time, one of our
most woithy and brilliant Augusta Preachers
was met by a gentleman, who congratulated
bim upon the good time that had come, say
ing : “My dear sir, you must be getting
rich !”
“Why so?’’ queried the Minister.
“Every night there is a wedding and I no
tice that you have been called upon to officiate
at tho majority of them. The funds must
largo”—responded the gentleman
“Not so,’’ said the Preacher. “They very
often say to me, after the ceremony is over •
Well, Mr. , I’m very much obliged to
you ; and that is all that is said oV done.”
The question is, can a man support a family
on : I’m obliged to you?

More rain has fallen in the neighborhood o
Rome during the month of June than has ever
been known. Tnere has seldom been a better
prospect for corn. The Courier says the race
between the cotton and grass fs “nick and
nick, ’’ .and It is hard to toll which will como
iu ahead. It is now universally conceded that
the wheat crop is a fair one, in this section of
Georgia and Alabama, coming fully up to an
average yield. It is now nearly all saved. The
oat crop is also excelloDf; except in some
placos whoro it was winter killed.
The Rome Courier says that some three
weeks since, two negroes went at night to tho
residence of an unprotected widow woman, in
Polk county, and by their united strength
using extreme violence, outraged her person.
Next day one of these fiends named West, and
formerly the proparty of Mr. Buchanan, was ar
rosted, underwent a preliminary trial, and was
sentenced to be committed to jail for trial
at the next term of tho Superior Court. A
guard started off with bim, but, as is alleged,
he attempting to escape, was shot to death,
some ten or twelve shots taking effect
in his person from the pistols of tho
guard ; his body was thrown in tho creek.
The other boy, formerly tho proproty of Mr.
Hightower,;has not yet boon arrested. These
aro the facts in regard to this affair as we get
them from reliable citizens of that county.
The account, as given in the Cherokeo Ad

Galveston, May 31, 1866.
John Andrews, Esq., Bayou Goula, Ibsrviile
parish, La :
My respected Old Master : I address you thus
for the reason that it is respectful, and’ because
you were ever kind to me. as well as all those
who were your termer staves. Freedom has its
advantages and disadvantages, and while we
would act go back into slavery, we are not un
mindful of the many happy days we have speut
at our old home, nor are we ungrateful for the
many kindnesses we have received at your
hand both in sickness and health. With these
preliminary remarks I acknowledge the receipt
of your kind letter, through CoioDel A. C. Me*
Keen, and take the greatest satisfaction and
pleasure in answering it, and I thank you for
your kind offer, and remembrance of us all.
Freedom has not turned me a foci, nor has it
caused me to entertain prejudices like many
o’hers. I feel that I shall ever conduct raysdf
so as to have the esteem and respect of ail.
We must, if we expect to get along well, and
make a support lor ourselves and families,
command the good will of those out of whom,
and through whom, we are to make money.
I have heard from my father last Sunday.
He and family are still at the same place and
sends his kind remembrance to you and the
folks. Hois veiy anxious to go back homo
this fall. Hib contract binds him until that
time, I wil! go and see ail our folks and take
your latter with me, and hive it read to them.
I think all will return if I can see them. It will
require Bornetime for me to-sec them, aud the
expense of traveling would be something. If
you deem it right and for you? interest that I
should go aud see them all, I wili do so; but
you must pay my traveling expenses. I will
lose the timo. As for myself, I am ready to
come back at any time, having made no en
gagements, but I could not think of coming
and leaving tbe balance behind. lam still
living in Galveston and doing well —have sev
eral hand3 at work with me and for me, but at
the same timo there ib no place like home.. I
am sorry to hear tlpjt you are suffering with
rheumatism. I hope it won’t last long. We
all wish to be remembered to Misses Emily,
Virginia. Angela and Ktty. I wish to Inquire
about Wesley. Tell him, if you know any
thing about bim, that his wife (sister Emily)
and three children are well. Tell Aleck Mec
kin lam glad he is at home, and that he did
not turn fool like a great many others His
brother Jack’s wife (Mary) and son Jack are
both well.
I don’t think we all will have any difficulty
in getting back. If any of them should lack
anything I will help them over, and we will
arrange that between us. I don’t know wheth.
er you know of tho death of my wife. She
died last October. Sbo died happy, and has
gone from this world of trouble to heaven. I
would liko to hear trom William Talbert. Ask
him to let me know about my things iu my
house, which would save mo the expense of
bringing many things. Tell John Williams
his four sops are well; also his brother Sam
Tell Mother Jenny that her grandson Abraham
is married. Tel! Aunt Polly her son Coffey is
married. Tell Mr. Allen that, Thos. Wood is
also married. Now in conclusion, all I have
to say is, that if you wont mo for any special
purposo before we all get ready to move back,
all you have to do. is to write me, and 1 will
come to you. In writing to me, direct your
letters to Coloao! A. O. McKeen as you did be

Ben. Bctler.
P. B.—One of your letters was received aud

The P<.:ii correspondent of the Boston Post,
under date May 30, writes :
J tat p; eat ah Paris is wild on the sub
ject c! great exhibition o! 1867. Napoleon
is evidently determined that uo labor or ex
pense .-.ha'i be spar ito make it the grandest
of all mod- r:i sen itions and a sort of culmin**
ting triumph of hie reign. He is favorably
situated tor suciesi as every one will admit,
both from uis power, bis talents, and the na
tional resources th it he his at his command. -
In spite of-tie inparent ndvoiity of this great
nation .nd .heir extreme devotion to the
pleasure o: ihe moment, there is always an
under cur. c-l'- , d-.p and strong, of serious
labor and w~a directed energy Its profes
nen, its military leaders,
its invent;- . and its; artisans, heve| always
worked with unlimited zeal, both with hands
and brains, for the good of their country, and
m - result of their efforts, especially in late
years, ha; been enormous. Under their re
public, so ca.ls their capital was filtered away
in a thousand profitless works, but Napoleon
has economiz and it. and, by the strong pressure
of imperial power, given it a condjmnation. a
strength and an impetus such as the nation has
never before : een. The truth of this will be
clearly shown at the coming exposition. From
present appearances it will be a grand success,
and most worthily represent tbe industrial re
sources of the world. It will be to Napoleon
one ot the crowning glories of his reign, one of
those victories of peace with which even mill
military despots, if they j>e wise, delight
to adorn their empires.
Gigantic as are the various works connected
with the comtDg exhibition, they are all pro
ceeding with great rapidity. Many journals,
for want of more authentic information, have
started rumors that the necessary arrangements
for the opening iu April, 1867, cannot be com
pleted. If they could only seethe progress
those are makiug, they would doubtless make
their editorial comments in a different tone.
The enormous building is ival't advanced and
the metallic root a portion of it is already in
place. The general outline can be easily
made oat, and the surrounding gardens are
partly designated. The laborers work from
dawn to twilight. Sunday included, and their
number equals that of a small army. Each
day there i3 promised some new addition to
the splendors of this ’expose of the universe.—
Among other attractions will be an enormous
stable, in the Russian style, to accommodate
five hundred horses. It will be surrounded
with Muscovite and Caucasian houses one of
which wili be oecu pied by a restaurant manag
ed by an officer from Bt, Betersburg. Here
one can feast ala russe iu such a barbaric
splendor as his purse will command. He can
flirt with Charlotte; hob-a-nob with Don Cos
sacks, and treat them to caviare aud candles;
ogie the dark eyed beauties of the Caucasus,
and in u post prandial snooze dream of Lord
Byron anu Mazeppa. Christianity will also be
represented at this exhibition, and paradoxical
as it may appear, probably, though not so
much from intrinsic merits, as because M. do
Chateaubriand took so much pains to write it
up. A space of two hundred square metres
has been granted to the Protestant missiona
ries, in which wdl be .shown various particles
and productions sent home by those devoted
laborers fr> in ihe islands of the ocean, from
the interior of Asia, from the trackless wilds
of Africa, and wherever effie their Christian
zeal has kd them to save the souls of men.
Every day adds some fre3h and piquant at
traction, and Parisians roaliy seem to be get
ting quite in tana in the matter. A company is
actually organizing here to cover the Palais
Royal with glass, and establish there a vast
restaurant, where sixty thousand persons could
dine perjjday, at prices varying' from forty to
fifty sous per head. At the end of the exhi
bition the company propose to place everything
in its former position, soli the oid glass and
china at auction, pay off the garcons and gar
counottes, settle with tho butcher and baker,
give a grand dinner of funeral baked meats to
the shareholders, and then divide the receipts.
As to tho latter they have made very nice cal
culations. The receipts for five months are to
reach twenty nine millions and some odd francs
and the profits throe millions, with enongh
over to make a handsome present to their saa
guino secretary, who made these flattering esti
mates. The originators of this scheme don’t
look upon it as a joke, but the wits of Paris do,
and have already lampooned it into shreds. It
is said that tho company propose to use the
basin of the grand fountain in which to boil
their potatoes, and one of tho Imperial dry

severe that go to form the Parisian’s daily food.
Mexico.
A letter to the New York 'World, dated City
of Mexico, May, says :
The problem of Imperalism' is now to be
quickly solved in Mexico. Maximilian trusts
himself without reserve to the Mexican people,
upon whose support he is confident he may rely.
Should the opposition of the Liberals change
from its present desultory, guerrilla form, into
anything like a -formidable, organized character,
he will himself take the field and personally
direct the operations for sustaining the laws
and protecting the people against threatened
anarchy. With this programme, it is hardly
possible that the young Emperor can fail to in
crease this prestige among a people always
ready to applaud that personal courage in which
the innumerable political leaders of Mexico have
been generally so dificient.
Maximilian has good military abilities, and
under any circumstances would not retire from
Mexico without making a desperate effort for
the support of his government. Those who
imagine that he has one foot out of the country
and is ready to quit when the French depart,
know very little about the obstinacy and de
termination of the man. Mexico has been in a
state of chronic revolution for half a century.
No ruler, of whatever stripe, ever maintained
himself there without the aid of the military ;
and to be in power, no matter how obtained,
was enough to raise a factious opposition—not
of the kind which generally expends itself in
harmless streams of ink, as in the United States,
but at the sword’s point and the cannon’s
mouth. Thus it is no remarkable thing that
Maximilian should find opponents ; but it is
safe to say that his government is to-day the
most popular, as it is the widest extended and
generally recognized this country has ever had,
and it may not be generally known that the
empire has already lasted nearly twice as long
as any other administration since the days of
Iturbide —that is, for more than forty years.
‘ The National Exprets,” aud the “National
Express and Transportation” Company.
Our attention has been called to the follow
ing circular over the signature of “J, E. John
ston, President,” and to which we invite the
attention of merchants and business men of
our city :
“Attention is particularly called to the title
of this Company, and to the fact that goods,
&c., ordered to be sent by it from New York,
are frequently shipped in direct violation of
instructions, by the National Express Compa
ny, which is a New York Company, and runs
exclusively over Northern routes; it receives
goods intended for this Company, and sends
them South and We3t by the Adams Express.”
As an act of justice to the “National Express
and Transportation Company,” over which
Gen. J. E. Johnston presides as President, we
publish the foregoing. The reader will per
ceive that the “National Express Company” is
a New York Company, running exclusively
over Northern routes, while the “National Ex
press and Transportation Company” is what its
name purports—hence, ail merchants, or other
parties South, who desire to patronize the last
named company, should be careful in direct
ing theii shipments, not to omit to designate
it according to its fall title, “National Express
and Transportation Company,” for the reasons
assigned in the circular of its President. Par
ties North who have been instructed to ship by
the “National Express Company” may either
innocently or through design do injustice to
the “National Express and Transportation’
Company,” when the small capital words are
omitted in the directions giveD by the mer
chant* or other person, who orders the ship
ment and who designs to patronize the last
named Express institution.— Atlanta Intelligen

French Withdrawal from Mexico.
Washington, June 22.
The President also transmitted to Congress a
dispatch from Bigelow, the American Minister
at Paris, to Seward, saying that the French
Minister, of Foreign Affairs had given the
most so'emc assurances of Napoleon’s fidelity
to his pledge to withdraw the French troops
from Mexico. This is regarded here as sealing
the fate of the Mexican Empire.
Message from ibe President.
A Bombshell in tbc Radical Camp.
Washington, June 22.
The President sent into Congress to-day the
following message, in relation to the recon.
struction amendment to .the Constitution:
2c the Senate and House of Representatives:
I submit to Congress a report of the Secre
tary of State to whom was referred a concur
rent resolution of tho 18th inst., respecting a
submission to the Legislatures of the States of
an additional article to the Constitution of the
United States. It' will be seen from this
report that the Secretary of State had on
the 16th inst., transmitted to the Beveral
States, certified copies of the joint resolution
passed on the 13th insfi, proposing an
amendment to the Constitution.
Even in ordinary times any question of
amending the Constitntioa must be justly ro
gardod as of paramount importance.
This importance is, at the present time en
hanced'by the fact that the joint resolution was
not submitted by the Houses for the approval
of the President and that of the thirty-six
States, which constituted the Union, eleven are
excluded from representation in either House of
Congress, although with the Bingle exception
of Texas, they have been entirely restored
to all their functions as States, in conformity
with the organic law of the land, and have ap
oeared at the National Capital, by Senators,
and have been refused admission to the vacant
seats. Nor have the sovereign people of the
nation been afforded an opportunity of ex
pressing their views upon the important ques
tion which the amendment involves. Grave
doubts, therefore, may justly and naturally
arise as to whether the actiou of Congress is
in harmony with tbs sentiments of the people,
and whether in Euch an issue they should be
called upon by Congress to decide upon the
ratification of the proposed amendment, wav
ing the question as to the constitutional validi
ty of the proceedings of Congress upon the
joiut resolution proposing the amendment, or
a3 to the merits of the articles which it sub
mits through the Executive Department to
tho Legislatures of the States. I deem it
proper to observe that the steps taken by Secre
tary of State, as detailed in the accom
panying report, are to bo considered as purely
ministerial, and in no sense whatever com
mitting the Executive to an approval or a re
commendation,of the amendment to the State
Legislatures. As to the people, on the contra
ry, a proper appreciation of the letter and spirit
of the Constitution as well as of the interest of
national order and harmony and union, and a
due deference for an enlightened public judg
ment, may at this time well suggest a doubt,
whether any amendment to the Constitution
ought to bo proposed by Congress and pressed
upon the Legislatures of the several States for
final decision, until after the admission of such
ioyal Senators and Representatives of the now
unrepresented States as have been or may here
after be chosen, in conformity to tho Constitu
tion and laws of the United States.
(Signed) Andrew Johnson.
Accompanying the messege of the President
is the report oi the Secretary of State, that he
had, in conformity with the proceedings which
had been adopted by him in 1865, in regard
to the proposed, and afterwards adopted. Con
gressional amendment to tho Constitution of
the United States, concerning the prohibition
of slavery, transmitted certified copies of the
joint resolution to the Governors of the several
States, together with a certificate and circular
letter.
Congressional.
Washington, June 23.
In the Senate a joint resolution was passed
providing for an official history of the war,
and authorizes the Secretary of War to appoint
some competent person to wjite it, at salary
not exceeding $2,500 per year.
The tex biil was considered, and various
amendments offered and adopted,
Mr. Morgan delivered a eulogy on Senator
Humphreys, recently deceased, after which
the Senate adjourned.
In the House Waehburne presented a letter
from the Secretary of the Treasury on the sub l *
ject of the apprehended introduction of reinder
pest by means of imported bones. Referred to
the Committee on Commerce.
Mr. Darling, of New York, and others ad
dressed the House in speeches of condolence
on the death of Hon. James Humphreys, of
New York. The customary resolutions of re
spect were adopted and the House then ad
journed.
From Canada.
Ottawa, June 23.
la the Canadian Parliament, Galt moved for
the indemnification of the Government for ex
penses incurred during the recent Fenian
troubles. Several members of the Government
party advocated the measure, wheß Mr. Cham
bers, of Brockville, obtained the floor and
spoke againßt it. a
He said that Canada could not support
troops enough to resist the United States. A
thousand Fenians were a very different matter
from thirty-five millions of Americans. He
also called for an investigation of the conduct
of some of the commanders of the provincial
troops duriDg the late .trouble, and denounced
the management of the volunteers as a blun
der.
Mr. Chambers was continually interrupted
and hissed; the uproar becoming so great at
times as to drown his remarks. He was re
plied to by Mr. Darcy McGee, and the motion
of Mr. Galt was adopted.

MARKET
F JIT TUB WEEK. ENDING JUNE 2cD.
The past week has been umDuaily dull, and
we have few changes to report in the price of
any loading staples. The wheat crop in several
of ;ke counfit.% along the Georgia Railroad is
reported to turn out lighter than was expected.
The new crop is beginning to come in, but
prices may not be cor,skit red settled. It is be
lieved that the unfavorable reports from the
Western crop will cause rates here for all
breadstuff's to rule high. The decline in gold,
though not so sudden ns its advance, has
tended to unsettle prices, and though price 8
do not as closely iollow gold as in larger mar
kets, they are Influenced by fluctuations in the
standard of values to such a degree as to ren
der prices quite irregular.
The cool weather of the early part of the
week was not favorable for cotton, but crops
are now growing rapidly.
It should be borne in mind that our quota
tions represent wholesale rates. Planters aud
cotntry merchants in buying small bills will
find prices a Ehadorin advance of quotations.
FINANCIAL—The decline in gold in New
York has diminished tke demand here, and
operations are limited. Brokers are paying
145, and selling at 150. Some are holding at
152. Silver 135, selling at 140. Bank notes
are dull. There is a demand for Georgia Rail
road Bonds -at par.

business was done in a speculative way on the

Os coarse, a few lame ducks ou the street.
The failure, yesterday, of a gold room opera
tor is reported to cover contracts for one mil

Speculation is again returning to the Stock
Exchange, and there is more activity in Read

are a fraction higher. Governments are com

ment.
The extreme ease in money continues There
is rather more inquiry from bankers for loans
on call, which is met at 5 per cent., with excep
tions at 4 per cent. Discounts quiet. There
is little paper offering from bankers. Dry
goods commission bouses, or produce commis

108$ for bankers prime sixty days sterling.
Post’s Commercial article says gold is more

per cent in favor of the lender. The loan mar

capital bing superabundant, large amounts are
easily obtained on call, at 4a5 per cent with

quiet, and passes at ssa9 per cent.
