“I’d Choose to be a Baby.” [The following parody, bv Fred. Buck ley. on the lieautiful ballad. “I'd Choose to be a Daisy," is published in sheet music by one of the music houses in New York: j I choose to lie a baby, A darling little flower, Without a care or sorrow As I was in childhood’s hour; When ladies (heaven bless-them) They’d kiss ineand they’d vow That thev could almost eat me— Why don’t they do it now ? When I used to i»o a baby They’d to my cradle creep; They’d kiss me and ling and cuddle me, Till I fell off to sleep, Yes, kiss and squeeze me too, Till I felt anyhow ; They’d even wash and dress me— W'jiy don't they do it now? For pleased they were to nurse me, Thev would take me on their lap, And would stuff my little stomach full Ofhollipop and pap; They would show me tops and buttons, And if 1 made a row, They’d press me to their bosoms— vViiy don’t they doit now? When the ladles used to love mo, They would make me such nice clothes; They would make me nice morocco shoes, And wipe my little nose. And when the shades of evening came, And sleep came o’er my brow, They said it’s time to go to bed— But they never say it now. LETTER FROM WASHIXtiTOX. The President and the Tennessee Legisla ture—What “I >. It.” sajs— Importance of the vote of that State—Bitter assaults on the President—The Philadelphia Union Convention—More than a mere partj movement—The Radicals Defiant. Special Correspondence of the Chronicle & Sentinel. Washington, .June 29. Radical politicians in and. out of Con gress have been unusually savage ou the President for the past two days, as they allege, he is striving to prevent the adop tion by the Legislature of Tennessee,, of the Constitutional amendment recently pro posed by Congress. John W. Forney thus insanely raves, in his Chronicle of this date: “Andrew Johnson pretends to boa State-rights Democrat, and yet his agents are busily employed intimidating or bribing the Legislatures while they arc prejxtring to discharge one of the gravest acts of sovereignty. j Reliable intelligence from Tennessee, for instance, proves that they are working to leave without a quorum the Legislature of that State, which is to meet on the 4th of .J uly next, under the call of Governor Brownlow, in response to this same circular letter of thu Sec retary of State enclosing the joint reso lution of Congress. That they are acting under the direct orders or with the knowl edge of Andrew Johnson may he inferred from the fact that he has already rewarded the men who bolted from the same Legis lature on a recent occasion when that body was in the not of disfranchising the rebels. The same expedient is to be tried again.— What a spectacle ! Andrew Johnson, who was so anxious to force Tennessee hack into the Union in 1865, and to keep the traitors out, that he telegraphed here to ask to be excused from being present at Mr. Lin coln’s inauguration, so that lie might give personal attention to the work, now uses the Presidential thunderbolts to keep Ten nessee out because loyal men hare organized a government on his ohm plan.” It is not necessary for the friends of the President either to admit or deny the charge that efforts arc being made to pre vent the assembling of a quorum of the Tennessee Legislature on the 4th of July next. The President would not accede either the lbrmals of duty or of propriety by advising members not to visit Nashville and constitute themselves a tail to the Radical kite. Indeed, there is no such a body as the Tennessee Legislature, for one fourth of the scats aro arbitrarily vacant, although the people are anxious to be re presented. A full House, as it should now be constituted, would number eighty-four members. Yet. by the revolutionary no tion of the Republican majority, only sixty odd are permitted to participate in its pro ceedings. Now, when the readers of the Chronicle A Sentinel are informed that, only Iqrty-one members voted for the act of disfranchisement 1 of its citizens'liy the Legislature of that State, and that at least one of this number from West Tennessee, and some half dozen from East Tennessee, will never vote for the amendment in question, because of the negro equality which it contains, they will readily perceive that, if the entire House were present, the plan of Congress would be rejected by a decided majority.— So, with all t heir boasted struggle in Brown low's Legislature, they are in a minority, if they would act fairly; but as they are certain not to so act, the next best thing is for the Conservatives to stay at home.— And this they will doubtless do. The casual reader may conceive that I am giv ing too much importance to this body of nobodies. Not so, however. The Radi cals must secure Tennessee and Arkansas for their petty act of tyranny and usurpa tion, else their whole scheme falls to the ground, even if they are sustained by all of the so-called loyal States. Hence their seal for Brownlow's success, and lienee the magnitude of the question in all sections of the country. Each side is exerting its ut most energy, and the prominent men of each party are fullv posted as to the pro gramme of the other. If there is not treachery in an unexpected quarter, there will not be tifty-six members of the House at Nashville on the 4th proximo—the Con stitution prescribing two-thirds as the num- ber necessary to make a quorum. The country is but too familiar with the fact that the tedious hours of the sessions in both Houses of Congress are consumed in bitter and even brutal assaults upon the President. It is not generally known, how ever—for it would seem incredible —that those who are the most unrelenting ene mies of the President’s policy are the most obsequious beggars for the patronage of this same Andrew Johnson. For instance, Senator Clarke, of New Hampshire, whose term expires on the 4th of March, 1807, is clamorous for the United States Gener alship for the District of New Hampshire. Let him seek. I shall be much disappoint ed if he finds anything. The city is full of New York politicians, seeking to control the appointment of Navy Agent for that city, made vacant by the death of Moses F. Odell. Among ot hers 1 notice Maj.. Gen. John A. l>ix, who zeal ously sustains the President, and from whom good service may be expected in the fall campaign in his State. The proposed National Convention is growing in popular favor. Those who con ceived the idea, as I understand, do pot expect to have any new or independent par ty. Indeed, their objects and views soar high above the grovelling ambition of a mere partisan convention. It is not intend ed to make up any political State in the in terest oT any political aspirant; but is simp ly intended to consolidate the supporters of our undivided Union of thirty-six equal States, and to force the Radicals to meet the issue as it really is. Northern Conser vatives earnestly desire the South to send her honest, wisest and most discreet men. I should be recreant to the South and to truth if I were to attempt to conceal the fact that the struggle between the Radicals and Conservatives will be fearfully exciting or that the Radicals are buoyant with the hope of success. They are compactly or ganized, thoroughly drilled, and have flushed money bags, which they spend lavishly to insure success, and are as liero- K ‘ a '*> brave, as cowards are when there is no blood to be spilled, and it will require all the tact oi Andrew Johnson, the great tribune of the people, with the united sup port ot all the opponents of the Radical policy whether these opponents have honorably served the South in the field, fought tor the rederals or acted neutral. It is the part of wisdom to remember this, and the tnends of the President at the Na tional. t a piml earnestly desire to see the x uiladelphia v onvention. as patriotic in proceedings, and as successful in its re sults. as the most ardent Southerner could wish. Congress will not adjourn before the Ist of August, if then. Richard. JOTTIMrS FROM THE CAPITAL. Difficulties of the Tariff <iuestion—T.og- Koliiug between the Eastern and West ern Interests. [.Special Correspondence of the Chronicle & Sentinel.] Washington, Saturday, June 30. Now that the closing fortnight of the session is u]»on us. the question of Recon struction, whicli the Radicals affect to con sider the great political puzzle of the day, seems to he completely overlooked or for gotten by Congress, in the presence of the mighty problems of finance and commerce which touch the pocket nerve of the great and prosperous North. For the last three days the of Representatives has been fiercely WRANGLING OVER TlfE NEW TARIFF. There is no doubt that vast amounts of money have been raised amongst the man ufacturers of the North and Northeast, to influence the action of Congress on this im portant measure; and a veiy large propor tion of the members exhibit an interest in the details of the new bill which they rare ly feel on any subject in which they have no direct pecuniary interest. The true principle of legislation in the enactment of a Tariff is a very simple one: namely, to fix the duty upon each imported article at as high a rate as the article will bear, with out risking it material diminution of the whole amount of such article to be import ed. This is clearly the proper theory upon which to frame a tariff from which it is de sired to raise the largest possible amount of revenue; for it would manifestly result in loss rather than gain to the Government to increase the duty on any particular com modity one-third, if, by so doing, the impor tations of that article should lie diminished to the extent of one-half or two-thirds.— The Democrats upon the floor of the House have feebly striven to enforce these views, but their remonstrances are laughed at by the majority who' are bent upon framing the new bill so as to make it, virtually, A PROHIBITORY TARIFF. They care nothing about the public rev enue on the one hand, or the interest of the masses of the people who are con sumers, on the other. They are solely in tent upon imposing so heavy a duty on all classes of foreign manufactures as will prac tically operate to exclude them altogether from our markets, and leave the entire population of the country at the mercy of the monopolists of manufacturing New England. This is the game of our present legislators; and, for the time, at least, they cannot fail to win. They manage it in this way. The representatives of the' lumbermen of Maine vote to “protect” the interest of the woolen manufacturers of Philadelphia, while the representatives of the latter reciprocate by putting up the duty on foreign lumber. The member from Lowell is found to be a stout support er of a toriff that will suit the views (i. e. fill the pockets) of the iron-masters of Penn sylvania ; and the members from Pennsyl vania are eager to return the compliment by voting for a duty on calicoes that will enable the mills of Lowell to double the price of their prints, without the fear of foreign competition. And thus, through out the whole range of manufactured goods, there is an organgized and combined move ment to enact a tariff compared with which all former achievements or the “protection ists” will be trifling. Th" leading advo cates of the measure do not take the trou ble to disguise their real views; they open ly announce that their object is to decrease the revenue, for the sake of increasing the protection. On the other band, its oppo nents denounce the proposed tariff, be cause, as they contend, now more than ever before, there exists a pressing NECESSITY FOll A LARGE GOLD REVENUE I okeep up the credit of the Government. There is no possible pretext for increasing the rates of tariff on the score of revenue, for the existing tariff has yielded one hun dred and fifty millions of revenue in gold coin, equal at the present price of gold to two hundred and twenty-five millions of in ternal taxes. It cannot bedenied that any serious diminution of this splendid Govern mental income from imports will have a disastrous influence upon the price of United States securities both at home and abroad. These are considerations of a very grave character, for the financial condition ofthe country just now is far from being sound. Although the drain of coin to Europe has apparently ceased for the present, the cur rency is not recovering from its recent de preciation as most people had hopefully an ticipated ; values are still fluctuating; prices are still high, and business, inconsequence, is unsettled and dull. Another complaint against the new’ tariff measure is that it in volves A BREACH OF THE PUBLIC FAITH, by applying the new rates to goods impor ted unde- the present tariff and temporarily lodged the duties being unpaid in the braided warehouses of the government. This construction of the new tariff, in giving it a kind of retrospective operation, is con sidered to be peculiarly unjust to importers nnd helping to raise the price of specie. The New York papers intimate that, un less this feature ot the bill should he modi fled, the "bulls” expect to be able to force gold up to 160. In my next letter I shall give some in teresting developments ofthe struggle now going on between the Radicals and the President in relation to the ratification ol the proposed Constitutional amendment. Butternut. Changed His Mind. A gentleman passed through Louisville a few days ago, on his way to a Northern city, to settle un an old ante-war debt of his father’s,. ana. if possible, to purchase a new stock of goods on time. He found the merchant indisposed, and called upon him at his residence, and while there his atten tion was attracted by a rather peculiar shaped chair, which he recognized as be longing to his mother, and which had dis appeared.from his father’s house during Johnston’s campaign in North Georgia ; a second glance discovered his sister’s piano, and a third a handsomely painted oil por trait of himself. 'He asked the merchant how they came into his possession, and re ceived answers that lie knew to be false, lie then stated that liis father who fell fight ing for the. Confederacy, enjoined upon him the duty of satisfying all just claims against bis estate, and that he had called upon him for that purpose, not being aware that he (the merchant) held his father’s household furniture as collateral security for the debt, and remarked that there were a number of portraits and some valuable plate taken from his father s house at the same time, and enouired if he had secured enough to satisfy his claim when the articles just dis covered disappeared. The merchant storm ed and threatened at first, hut when hecom pared the portrait with the original, he concluded to change his tactics, and claim ed that the goods were legally spoils of war. Our triena, it in the same light, concluded tKb debt was satisfied and brought Ins money back to Louisville and bought a stock of goods for cash. — Ex. Alabama. Gov. Patten of Ala., has written a letter wherein he states that Gen. Swayne. Com missioner of the Freedmen's Bureau for that State, is now furnishing 25,000 ra tions a week to the starving population of that section, and that the majority of them are whites. The Governor savs there are 100,000 objects of charity in Alabama. The great mass of those peo ple depend upon the Freedmen's Bureau for their subsitence.

E. Bryant, editor of the Loyal Georgian. Jt besrins by wav ing- “We pass by General Tillson, who «aims to be merely a subordinate, though he admits himself totally opposed to dec orating the graves of our soldiers bv the the hands of the little children." it will strike the vast number of officers and sol piers Vi ho, like (vcneral Tillson, served in a sulmrdinate position, with some aston- LBhment, that tliis fact should elicit a sneer from the Independent. General Tillson does not, and never has, admitted that he was opposed to decorating the graves of our soldiers, hut, on the contrary, pro nounces the statement a malicious false hood, whether made by the editor of the Loyal Georgian, who hates Gen. Tillson, because the latter detected him in obtain ing money from the negroes under false pretences, and interfered for their protec tion, or by the editor of the Independent. It asks, "Who is this General Brannan? W r e answer that he is an honest, brave and competent officer, who has never been sus pected of misappropriating a single dollar of public funds; who, throughout the war, lias been at the front, and has always dis tinguished himself by his courage and ca pacity on the field of battle. lie was one of the division commanders who stood firm in the terrible battle of Chickamauga, ex hibiting such heroic courage as to win the enduring respect and admiration of the Army of the Cumberland. He is an offi- cer who hes won the confidence and good opinion of such men as Thomas, Sherman and Grant. And yet this gallant soldier, to whom, in common with its defenders in the field andunderfire the country owes a debt of public gratitude, is held up to public ex cration in a widely-read religious journal, simply to gratify party spite ; and a domes tic sorrow more terrible than death occur ring without fault on his part, which has saddened his whole life, and which time had partly healed, is ruthlessly torn open and exposed to public gaze, and this not in the name of justice, but in a paper devoted to spreading the gospel of peace, and the knowledge of that charity which thinketh no evil, by an editor who probably never heard the roar of battle, much less saw the gleam of hostile bayonets; who defended nis country in the hour of peril by urging other men to go to the front, and whose home and loved ones Gen. Brannan, by al most reckless exposure of his life, helped to make safe ana secure. But the wav is over, the danger past, and the editor of the Independent is exhibiting liis gratitude. If this is an outgrowth of religious life, then may the good Lord defend us from un monding intercourse with its professors in tho world to which wc are hastening. And who is Brevent Major Gcueral Sax ton, the idol of Horace Greely and the editor of the Independent'! Will these gentlemen tell the country tho battles in which General Saxton fought? Will they show when and whetc he has heard the whiz of Rebel bullets, and give us the names of tho generals upon whose recom mendation he was promoted for gallant service?' Will they explain the necessity for his removing the financial records of his office, and whether, or not he lias ac counted to the Government and to tho numerous benovelent societies for the large sums of money received and disbursed by him? Will they show why, under the management of their pet, the Bureau be came such a reproach and byward among the people that not even the manly virtue and heroic name of General Howard could lift it above suspicion and contempt ? Why, starting with three .States under his charge, the Commissioner whom the whole country honors, and whom no one suspects of being governed by improper motives, was compelled to remove him from one af ter another, and finally from all? Was the report made by Lieutenant General Grant, which immediately preceded the removal of General Saxton, and which was the re sult of personal inspection, false and with out foundation ? And is it a fact, as stated in the New YorT Tribune, that General Sqxton was removed to make room for a more pliant tool of the Administration? Have these gentlemen forgotten that the tens of thousands of our country ’ s' defenders, who fought in the Western army beside General Brannan, afterwards swept through this country with Sherman, and past the dominion of General Saxon, and that they know the record of these two generals ? Are these editors anxious to excite the con tempt of these brave men, who are now scattered through our country, hy praising the one whom they know and despise, ana execrating the other whom they many times saw expose himself in the heat of battle ? And who is Captain Bryant, editor of the Loyal Georgian , a paper owned and supported hy freed people, but which he is controlling and prostituting to mean, per sonal ends ? It would be a waste of words to answer. Unless he changes his course, there is good reason to believe that the an swer wiff yet be written in the criminal rec ords of this country. D.

The New York Tribune says there are more murders in Massachusetts, where mere boys are hanged, than in Rhode Is land and Wisconsin, in which the death penalty has been entirely abolished for sev eral years. The Rochester, N. Y, Union gives a shocking account of a brute named Rev. Mr. Lindsley, who whipped his little boy, three years old, to make him say his pray ers, until the child died. The coroner’s jury discovered that several of his fingers were broken. These the wretch attempted to conceal by laying the child out with bis hands under his back. The snivelling old demon justified his conduct by saying that lie felt it his duty to break the child's tem per. It was with difficulty that the crowd could he kept from breaking his neck. The Boston Advertiser tells of a girl 17 years old—called a ‘‘child —who, having been detected whispering, was taken in hand for punishment. She refused to sub mit, when she was seized by two assistants, who, with the assistance of the principal, held her until about twenty- stripes were administered with a leather strap —(similar to that formerly used hv overseers in the South.) It seems that the pupils in the principal school-room were set to marching to the music of a piano while the punish ment was going on ; hut it is domed, we believe, that this was done to drown the girl’s screams. Her friends aver that she pore the marks for some days, hut the teacher declares that his strap would not kill a good sized mosquito. Georgia. .

The famous horse Gladiateur has just won a race for the Gold Cup at Ascot, the like of which was never before seen. Be low we give Bell’s Life’s account, and a notice from the Sportsman : In anticipation of Gladiateur’s triumph, there was quite an influx of our neighbors from across the Channel, many of whom, in company with Count Lagrange, watched ■ the race from the top ofttlie private stand nearly in line with the judges' box. During the afternoon the Count was cordially sa luted by the Prince of Wales, and honored with an introduction to the royal circle. — With scarcely so strong a card as usual, the racing before the Cup evoked only passing interest, but as the time drew near for the piece de resistance of the days the crowd towards the royal inclosure was something tremendous, and the difficulty experienced by the police in clearing a pas sage for the Cup horses from the paddock to make the usual parade was far greater than ever before experienced. Looked upon for months as a match between Gladiateur and Regalia, the absence of any other competitors except Breadalbane created no disappointment, and the ex citement amongst the “general public” as Gladiateur and Regalia emerged from the paddock knew no bounds. As all the minutiae in connection with the race are detailed further on, we will not anticipate, but it will not be out of place to state that, memorable as were the dead heats between Tim Whiffler and Buckstone. repeated at a year's interval by General Peel and Ely, both were now eclipsed, and the brilliant rush with which the mighty Gaul made up his ground, when the cheeks of his most ardent worshippers began to blanch with disappointment will never be forgotten.

The latter made the run ning at a slow pace, and passed the stand six lengths in advance of Regalia, who was about the same distance before Gladiateur. In this way they proceeded for the first throe quarters of a mile, when Breadalbane improved the pace and bis lead at the same time, heading Regalia fully a' dozen lengths, and both turning the steam on at high pressure, they rapidly left Gladiateur in decending the hill, Grimshaw, “for fear of accidents, easing him so much, that an almost universal opinion was expressed on the stand that he would never catch the leading pair, large offers to back the field resounding on all sides. No sooner, how ever, lmdlie completed the descent of the hill—being at the time quite a hundred and fifty yards in the rear—than he began to make up his ground, as if by magic, and Breadalbane gradually compounding, the pace momentarily became slacker ; m less time than it takes to write it, the favorite had run right up to his horses, all three closing at the brick-kilns. Grimshaw, now taking another pull, Breadalbane rnain tined the lead till half way between the kilns and the straight, where he resigned in favor of Regalia. In rounding the turn, Breadalbane was also headed by Gladia teur, who came up on the outside, and ran at the mare’s girths to within a distance and half of home, where he quitted her, and striding along all the way, passed the post first by fortv lengths, amid tumul tuous cheering. Breadalbane pulled up before reaching the box. Run in 4 min. 40 sec. Congressional. Washington, July 28. —In the Senate to-day a resolution was adopted inquiring into the expediency of a reorganization of the civil service regarding appointments, promotions and dismissals. A joint resolution regarding the pay ment of interest on State; claims for money expended for the benefit of the United States, was referred to the Finance Com mittee. The Mineral Land bill, published last week, was called up and passed. The Niagara Ship Canal bill was taken up. Pending debate upon it, the Tax bill was returned from the House. The Sen ate’s amendments were insisted upon and a conference committee appointed. The Senate then went into Executive session and at 2 p. m. adjourned. In the House several bills from the Com mittee on public lands were reported and acted upon. In the contested election case, Boyd agt. Kelso, the report of the Committee on Elections declaring Mr. Kelso entitled to the seat was adopted. Mr. Boyd was also voted $2,500 for ex penses incurred in contesting the seat. The Senate amendments to the House Freedmen’s Bureau bill were non-concurred in and a Conference Committee asked. A resolution was adopted inquiring into the expediency of providing that in all cases of granting American registers to foreign-built vessels the Vouchers shall pay to the Government 40 per cent, ad valorem. A message from the President was re ceived on a site for a fresh water basin for iron-clad vessels. Another message was received in answer to the House resolution as to whether any civil or military employes of the Govern ment have assisted in paying public honors to rebels living or dead. The House then in Committee of the Whole took up the Tariff bill, and Mr. Morrill addressed the House at length in its support. At its conclusion the bill was considered by sec tions, the House considering that regard ing wool, and making no material amend ments, adjourned. Washington, June 29. —In the Senate to-day the House bill in relation to the government of the Territories was taken up.

M.‘ Mr. Wilson of Mass, in troduced a bill to regulate and fix the mili tary peace establishment of the United States. The National Telegraph bill was taken up, and after debate and action on several amendments was passed, 16 to 13 after which the Senate at 5:15 adjourn ed. In the House, the adverse report on the hill granting pensions to the soldiers and sailors of the war of 1812 was recommitted to the Committee on Invalid Pensions with instructions to report another bill for that purpose. A hill was so reported, and was ]>ost poned to Friday next. The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the Tariff bill, and acted upon several amendments, when the Committee arose. The request of the Senate for a Conference Committee on the Smuggling bill was agreed to. At 4.30 the House adjourned. The tiwiwing Crops. The following is an extract from a letter received by a gentleman in Augusta from a friend n Thomas county, dated June 27th. who has been residing there for the past nine years: Mv crop is a perfect failure. I will not make half a crop of corn, have already thrown away a third of mv cotton with the prospect of having to lose a third more, and instead of making forty or fifty bales as I expected I do not now' expect to make ten. Tou know that I leased out my land, and it has been so badly managed that the crop will be almost an entire failure. I am more disgusted with the free negro system every- day, and will not, if I can possible make any other arrangements for a support of my family, ever plant another acre under the present system. lam ex ceedingly anxious to sell my place, and all on it! to give possession at any time. Should you see any person wishing to buy such a place you would confer a great favor on me by assisting me to sefl. I have given up all hopes of our country and can only see ruin ahead.. I believe the North is almost a unit in their deter mination to finally destroy us. But the subject is too painful. Georgia. A Mrs. Rollins was brutally murdered by two uegroes on the night of Wednes day last, at or near No. 15, Central Rail road. The lady's husband was in Savan nah at the time, und the negroes beat her to death with sticks, and robbed the house; a white child.was severely beaten also. The negroes escaped, and are supposed to be making their way to Macon, as they were last seen at Gordon. The editor of the Knoxville Commercial professes to have read a letter from Floyd county. Georgia, in which a terrible affair is chronicled, too terrible for belief. It is in substance that three ladies were return ing home from a visit to a neighbor, when a negro came upon them in a secluded out of-the-way place aud attempted to detain them, but two succeeded in getting away from him. The other one he took into the woods and tied her and kept her there for two days without food. Her friends found her at the end of that time. The negro was caught, and the lady was asked what punishment she desired to have inflicted on this demon. She replied she wanted his arms cut off and then wished him skinned alive. The sentence w r as executed. The negro lived about ten minutes after the operation. Large numbers of hens and other poul try, at Atlanta, Ga., are dying of anew disease, which has just made its appear ance. The malady cause's their necks to swell thrice their original size, and they die within twelve hours. Captain W. H. Davis, an old and es teemed citizen of Savannah, died in that city on Saturday. Charles Knapp, of Savannah, was drown ed while bathiugon Sunday near Fig Island Light House. A few days ago some negroes murdered a Mrs. Rollms, of Wilkinson county, under most revolting oircumstances, and attempt ed to kill her children. We learn that a freed man named Pompey O. Bannon, who was one of the parties to the murder, was arrested and taken in charge by the citizens who burned him at the stake. A reward of SSOO is offered for a man named William, his associate in the crime, who was closely pursued, and shot in tho face, but made his escape. Most of those who witnessed the fate of O’Bannon were negroes, and they concurred in the opinion that ho de served his terrible fate. A man named Wm. Young entered the Atlanta National Bank on Friday and took several packages of money from the coun ter and threw them out of the window. The Cashier heard hint, and went to the end of the counter just in time to see the thief in the act of jumping out of the win dow. He seized him by one leg, and held him until help was called on the outside, and he was lodged in jail. He professes to be from Mobile. An accomplice was arrested, named Darmot, who hails from Macon. Agassiz and his Discoveries. In tho July number of the Atlantic Monthly , Prof. Agassiz throws down the gauntlet of defiance to the opponents of his glacial theory. In the first of a series of papers on the “Physical History of the Valley of the Amazons, ’ ’ he gave us the first account yet received direct from him self of the remarkable discoveries which have attended his explorations in Brazil, and announces his position in these positive terms: “I am prepared to find that the state ment of anew phase of the glacial period will awaken among my scientific colleagues an opposition even more violent than that by which the first announcement of my views on this subject was met. I am, however, willing to bide my time ; feeling sure that, as the theory of the ancient ex tension of glaciers in Europe has gradually come to be accepted by geologists, so will the existence of like phenomena, both in North and South America, during the same epoch, be recognized sooner or later as part of a great series of physical events extending over the whole globe. Indeed, when the ice period is fully understood, it will be seen that the absurdity lies in sup posing that climate conditions so intense could be limited to a small portion of the world’s surface. If the geological winter existed at alb it must have been cosmic; and it _is quite as rational to look for its traces in the western as the eastern hem isphere, to tho south of the equator as to north of it.” Agassiz adds that he went to South America with the expectation of finding in the tropical regions new evidences of a by gone glacial period; and to show that this expectation was not unfounded begins a detailed narrative of his observations. Southern Pacific Railroad of Texas. It will no doubt be gratifying to the friends and stockholders of this enterprise to learn the present status and fiiture pros pects of the company. On the Ist of Au gust next the road will be completed from Shreveport, on Red river, to Marshall, Texas, a distance of 42 miles. This, with 19 miles more graded west of Marshall, is valued at $1,500,000; due to the State of Texas, $150,000; floating debt, $50,000; first mortgage bonds, $150,000, owned by citizens of Louisville; transportation cer tificates, $15,000; capital stock, $650,000; total $1,015,000; surplus value, $485,000. The company have secured from the Shreveport Road 21 miles of the road for the term of twenty years, without cost, on ly keeping same in repair and turning it over to trail at the expiration of that time in good order. It is tnc intention of the Company to immediately commence the work west of Marshall. After grading six miles more (with the nineteen already graded) they will then be entitled to the land grant of 10,240 acres per mile, or 156,000 acres, and the loan of $6,000 per mile from the State of Texas. It is estimated that not less than 1,500,000 acres of land and large sums in money will be donated by individuals and counties throughout which the road will pass. Such is the enthusiasm that noth ing can hinder its progress. We may safe ly say that there is no other enterprise on the oontinent in a more favorable position t ban this Great Southern Pacific Railroad of Te xas. Statistical. Ten years ago there were not more than 3,000 or 4.000 acres planted with the vine in the United States, and now there are not less than 2.000,000 acres so planted.

A steamer which arrived in New York lately from Havana, had 6.000,000 cigars on freight, the largest quantity ever shipped to New York.

Seigfried, Pastor of Twelfth Baptist Church, Philadelphia.) Gentlemen : I have recently been laboring under the dis tressing effects of indigestion, accompanied by a prostration of the nervous system. Numerous remedies were recommended by friends, anu some of them tested, but without relief. Your Ilooflaud’s German Bitters were recommended by persons who had tried them, and whose favorable mention or these Bitters induced me to try them. I must confess that 1 had an aversion to Patent Medicines from the “thousand aud one” quack Bitters whose only aim seems to be to palm off sweetened and drugged liquor upon the community in a sly way, and the ten dency of which, I fear, is to make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learning that yours was really a medicinal preparation, I took it with happy effect. Its action, not only upon the stomach, but upon the nervous system, was prompt and grati fying. 1 feel that I have derived great aud permanent benefit f’from the use of a few bottles. Very respectfully yours, IV. D. Seigfried, No. 254 Shackamaxon street. Jk. (From the Rev. E. I). Fendall, Assistant Editor Christian Ch ron icle, Philadelphia.) I have derived decided benefits from the use oflioofland’s German Bitters, and feel it my privilege to recommend them us a most valuatle tonic to all who arc suffering from a general debility, or from diseases arising from derangements of the liver. Yours truly, E. D. Fendall. (From [Rev. D. Merrigc, Pastor of the Passyunk Baptist Church, Philadelphia.) From the many respectable recommendations given to Dr. Hoofland’s German Bitters, 1 was induced to give them atrial. After using several bottles I found them to lie a good remedy for debility, and a most excellent tonic for the stomach. D. Meuuige. (From Rev. William Smith, formerly Pastor of theVincen town and MilviHe (N. J.) Baptist Churches.) Having used in my family a number of bottles of your Hoof land’s German Bitters, I have to say that 1 regard them as an excellent medicine, specially adapted to remove the diseases they are recommended for. They strengthen ami invgoratc the system when debilitated, and are useful in disorders of the liver, loss of appetite, etc. I have also recommended them to several of my friends, who have tried them, and found them greatly beneficial in the restoration of health. Yours truly, Wm. Smith. —Z 966 Hutchinson street, Philadelphia. TV (Frotn the Rev. Joseph H. Kennard, Pastor ofthe Tenth Bap 11st Church.) I have been frequently requested to connect my name with commendations of different kinds of medicines, but regarding the practice as out of my appropriate sphere, I have in all cases declined j but with a clear proof in various instances, and par ticularly in my own family, ofthe usefulness of Dr. Hoofland'a German Bitters, 1 depart for once from my usual, course, to ex press my full conviction that, for general debility ofthe system and especially for liver complaint, it is a safe and valuable pre paration. In some cases it may fail, but usually, 1 doubt not it will be very beneficial to those who suffer from the above causes. Yours, very respectfully, J. H. Kennard, Eighth, below Coates street. Philadelphia, Dec. 24,1864. Rev. J. S. Herman, of the German Reformed Church, Kutz town. Berks county, Pa., was cured of Dyspepsia t of twenty years’ standing. A. M.
