The above is tlie title of a book to
be issued this week, Avhi.clt is destined
to create a sensation, Its author is a
statesman.who, having been identi
fied with the history of our country
for nearly two generations, brings to
his task tin experience such as is pos
sessed by few of the writers of* the
age; and who treats his subject m a
-manner at once fascinating and in
structive. The book should be in ev
school-room. and in every library in
the United States. It is the History
of the country, its unmanned body,
and its pervading spirit; a Yade, Me
-1 urn to'bo* A student and statesman;
a nocessitv to every one who wishes
to know what lias been done, and why
it has been done, by those who made,
and those who have administered tlie
government of these states.
The volume—l'Jmo., 513 pages, with
numerous' illustrations—is beautiful

bound. Price, $1.50. ,
Come to (Brief. — Macon is a hard
road to travel, as many peripatetic
scoundrels have learned to their great
sorrow, and for the number of our
population, we venture to say there
is no smaller and yet more efficient
and vigilant police force in the Uni
ted States. We are led to these re
marks from the fact that within only
a few weeks past several important
arrests haye been made of counter
feiters. forgers and bank robbers, two
of whom are now confined in our
jail awaiting trial. On Tuesday morn
ing another important arrest was
made by officer Craig, who captured
an individual by the name of Ander
son. This man had concealed about
bis person a considerable amount of
gold coin, ten Bonds of SI,OOO each, of
the Central Pacific Railroad, SBOO in
gold certificates, a letter of credit for
£I.OOO sterling upon the Bank of Brit
ish North America, besides drafts and
other papers of apparent value. He
was arrested upon suspicion that
everything was not as it should be.
and subsequent investigation! proved
the supposition well founded. Asa
consequence, Mr. Anderson masti
cates hash at Finney/s academy for
the blind—drunk. Too much credit
cannot be awarded officer Craig and,
the entire police force of the city, for
their untiring efforts ih bringing to
justice some of the worst criminals
that ever infested any country.

from behind a net work of iron bars

tinguished Pole managed to escape
the clutches of the law, we are not
fully apprised, but we presume the old
thing was worked by the recipient of
bull pups with a solemn p&mise
from Frizzy that he would do any
dirty job to which he might be as
signed by his gift taking master. The
pledge is about being fulfilled, for we
understand that Wladimar's carpet
bag is deposited here for the cam
paign in which he proposes to take a
hand as a candidate for Congress for
this district in the approaching elec

official cannot fail to make a most su
perior representative of the people of

The position of Secretary of the
Treasury would [be more to liis liking
and would pay him better, but as his

ourselves with lending him all the as

tering a worthless bench legged fice

Impoverished and struggling in our
ashes, the only hope for the salvation
of this section is in the inducements
we can hold out to emigrants to come
and settle among us. To do this suc

ling those who seek homes among us,
we should use every effort to make
their stay mutually agreeable and
profitable. Little matters it to us
wliat may be the political faith of the
honest, industrious stranger* who
comes to assist us in building up our
country. We care not under what

good of Georgia, we rise superior to
the petty prejudices of bigoted minds
and gladly welcome‘every man who

Petrification of the Body.
In Italy, it has been the study of a
number of scientific men to preserve
the human body forages, by meansof
various processes. Certain mummi
fying preparations give to the body
the strange property of resuming all
the appearaces of sleep, after it has
remained some hours in the water and
admits of the closest anatomical study
of it. Other preparations give to the
body the hardness of stone and enable
it to resist humidity, the inclemency
of the seasons, and the combined ac
tion of heat and cold. It is well
known that the remains of Mazzini
have been entrusted to one of these
students, Professor Gorini, who has
undertaken the complete petrifica
tion of them within 8 months. This
change in the substance of the human
frame must not be considered analog
ous to, much less identical with, the
ancient Egyptian mode of preserving
the body by embalming it. In that sys
tem the cavity of the body was filled
with myrrh, fragrant herbs and spices,
while the body was tightly enveloped
and swathed in folds of cere-cloth, lin
; en. and bark, so as to exclude the air;
and it was then put. into a case which
was hermetically closed. It will thus
be se£n that the preservation of the
body by tannin, and by preventing
the action of. the atmosphere, was
the leading idea. But although the
body was*, in some sense of the word,
1 preserved by this method fpr thous
; ands bf years, the result of the system
’ was the converting it into a shriveled,
blackened or discolored form; revolt
i ing to the sight, Hind ? having the ap
pearance of a monky rather than that
!of a human being. The Italian meth
| od, above noticed, converts human
forms into a steture the features re
maining precisely as they were when
death took place. Had this system
been resorted to by the Egyptians,
out by the Greeks and Ro
: mans, who borrowed their learning
from them, the world might.at this day
be able to gaze on the life-like corpses
of the men of history who have so influ
enced its destinies. But the preserva
tion of the body from decay, for the
purpose of exhibiting it from, age to
age to the gaze of the curious is repug-
I hant to the opinions and feelings of
tost of the civilized world; though it
possible that scientific anatomists,
te Professor Gorinijbecome so habit*
j uuted to the contemplation of death
| in, all its forms as to lose their sensi
; bility to its most repellant features.
The Peacemaker aft Richmond.
There was no small amount of he
roism in the act ot Horace Greeley in
signing the bail bofad of ex-President
Davis, at the time,-and Tinder the cir
cumstances, in which it was done. So
great was the prejudice at the North
against the fallen chief that it re
quired a bold heart to declare sym
pathy for his fate, and there was but
one public man in the Union party of
the North heroic enough to step for
ward and condemn its cruel policy.—
That man was Horace Greeley. But
there was a Northern poet* brave
enough to appreciate and to honor
the noble sentiment which inspired
the act, alnd he has perpetuated it in
the following appropriate .lines:
At Rocket’s pier the bugles blow,
The cluttering horsemen ride,
And squadrons wheel with naked steel
JJv Jaihes’ peaceful tide,
And up the steeps of Richmond tower
The column flies at will,
As if a traitor rode to die.
Up Tower or Tyburn hili.
A poor did man, grey haired and bent,
Amongst the troopers rides;
He sees the captured Capitol
O’erlooking floods and tides,
Where in his powerthe standards blew,
Unfurled at his command.
That waved in sight of Washington,
And dyed the Rio Grande.
Now silently tlie people peer.
Who used to hear his name,
As if it were a time of fear,
And his were all the blame;
They soon forgot both fame and power,
Who but disaster win,
And lie who ruled, an empires chief,
Must make his jail an inn.
They bring him to the traitor’s court
This old and broken man:
And e’en the judge looks down in grudge,
Like any partisan.
The lawyers wait to tell his crimes,
The Jury hate, forewarned,—
Of.heaven! it is a fearful thing
To see a strongman scorned.
Then one stepped out from all the throng,
And said: “This must not be V
My pen, which wrote his cause unjust,
Shall write his liberty.”
On yonder hill the grata is green
Witli pleasant spring's Increase,
So green be all the fields of war,
And all our duty, Peace.
“Ye dare not test him lest he ’scape;
Ye shall not keep him pent;
Each foe stands now a citizem ;
>.«•<cK rui ervarj i-din; 7
Let: kindly law again prevail,
And victory do mo crime, N
For hand in hand we twain must walk
Down all the paths of time!”
They marvelled much who loved him not
This quaint old man to see,
Whose name the plan f er’s children knew
An ancient enemy;
And though some'mocked his loving zeal,
With many a coarse retort,
lie made the rebel chieftain feel
The North had still a heart!
Lay Aside Your Long Faqes.
Emerson says ; “Do not hang a dis
mal picture on your wall, and do not
deal with sables and glooms in your
conversation.“ Beecher follows with:
‘Awai with these fellows Who go howl
ing tllrough life ; all the while passing
for birds of paradise. He that can
not laugh and be gay should look
Avell to himself. He should fast and
pray until his face breaks forth into
light,” Talmage then takes up the
strain: '‘‘Some people have* an idea
that they comfort the afflicted when
they groan over them. Don’t drive a
hearse th rough a man’s soul.” When
you bind up a broken bone of the
soul, and you want splints, do not
make them of cast iron.” After such
counselings and admonitions lay aside
your long faces.

through a large portion of Southwest
Georgia, We are gratified to state that
the corn and cotton crop are particu
