P. S.—The ( onstitution nays that the report was an “unadnltoratod lie”—from which gentle remark we understand that they still uso gas. Wo thought as much nil the time. Ex-Gov. Hr.iihi uki. V. Johnson—who was lately nominated by the Handeraville Herald m the next Governor of Georgia —has requested that paper to say “that while he would feel renewed obligations to Georgia for tho confidence thus re posed in him, yet he defcirea not to he considered aa among those from whom a onndidate will ho selected for tho honor. Gkebkt Smith thinks that the Civil Rights bill will fail, and that ita failure Will be tho death of the Jtopublioan party. On tha other hand, many Republicans think that if it posaoa, ita passago will be the death of tho party. So it would aeem that some of tho politicians nro confounded by their own schemes. They feel like the man who had au elo- phmnt on his hands. On the 17th lust., at New Orleans, in tha United Staton Circuit Court, the jury In the ease of tho Grant Parish prisoners brought in a verdict of not guilty as to Alfred Cher vis. Announcing that there was no possibility of agreoing as to the others, the jury was discharged by Judge 'Woods, and the prisoners remanded, on motion of the District Attorney, who an- nonnoed other iudiotinouts agaiuat them. A dispatch of the 17th from New Or leans roports that a break ocourrod in tho upper bar lovee, throe iniles bolow Lake Providence, on Friday, it was two hun dred yards long at last accounts. A do/,on or moro large plantations, back of Good- rioh's landing, have been overflowed from this crevasse. It is reported it has already ■topped the rtiuning of trains on the Vicksburg and Hhrovopnrt Railroad. Th* accounts leave it uncertain wholh- •r a voloano has really broken out on Bold Mountain in Wostcrn North Caroli na. There have for some timo boon re ports from that neighborhood of rumbling noises in tho mountain, and some earth quake-like convulsions, uud the report of ■ voloano having actually burst out may l>e only tho premature announcement of wbat tho pooplo nro anticipating. Raid Mountain is in McDowell oounty, etui is one of the Allogbauy peaks. Tns Hupromo Court of Goorgia, on Tuesday, rendered judgments of affirm ance in the follow ing enses: A. A G. Rail road Company vs. Florida Construction Company,from Muscogee; Western Rail road Company vs. Richard Yonng, admin istrator, from Mimoogeo; and R. Goetobius et al. va. Mary ilodgoa, ad- ministratix,fr<>m Muscogee. A judgment of reversal was run do red in tho oaso of A. Barnett ot, al. vs. Central Lino of lioatH, from Muscoguo. Title Washington Star says : Mr. Hum- tier wan not a professor of roligiou, al though ho had great respect for sacred thiugH. Ho was u believer in tho oxist- enoe of a God, oh his frequent allusions to a Hupromo Ruing in his various speech es and writings prove, hut did not regard many of the forms of religious woraliipas essential tho practiuo of Christianity, lio was not an attendant at church worship, And usu ally spent the Sabbath iu his library. It will bo noticed, also, thut he did not in vite tho presence of any clergyman in his dying hours. In tho case of tho Wostorn Railroad Oompnny vs. Richard Young, adm'r, from Muscogee (decided adversely to the com pany), tho Hupromo Court of Goorgia do- oided, on Tuesday, that “if tho oonduotor of a railroad traiu agree to put a paHHuu- ger oil' ut a particular place, which is not a station or regular stopping place, it would he the duty of tho conductor to atop tho train al that place, so that tho passenger could got off iu safety. This rulo would apply although tho passonger bad a ticket only to the last station passod before reaching the place ut which ho was to bo put oft." At the mooting on 'Change in Atlanta, on Thursday, a merchant stated that tho rates from St. Louis, via New Orloaus in bargoa. to Atlanta, was cents per bushel on corn, 47 oonts pur 100 lbs. on moat, ■ml HO oor.ts per barrel ou flour. It was announced that wheat would be at the name rates as corn. Auother merchant Btated that ho had received corn by thiH route, and it was sound, merchantable % uud white It is transported in bulk, ou purges, to Now Orleans, aud sometimes jne stcainci takes forty or fifty barg* We have heretofore directed tho atten tion of our tuurohauta to this uew route. Why could not corn, wheat, flour aud moat be laid down here, if brought this way, cheaper than at Atlauta ? The Auditor aud Troasuror of Alabama were busily engaged paying out the new obligniions of that Slate, issued under tho Funding act, on Tuesday. Tho *4c/- rertiser thinks that at least $20,000 wen paid out ou lieu day It oopica the read ing of the $10 “obs." payable “on the first day of January, 1884, or sooner at the pleasure of the State," aud bearing 8 per eeut. interest from date. On the back of the uote, the number 10 is closed iu two horse-shoes placed heel to heel, aud the Advertiser therefore calls them “Horse-shoe notes." The inUrest is payable semi-aunually, aud a hole is punched, for each payment, in a segment of the borse-shoo appropriated for that purpose. They are receivable iu pay ment of all taxes duo the State, aud for fines and forfeitures imposed by any Ala- tux.*, urn. . Thes diilw April 1st, 1874. A Nlw Yore afternoon paper having charged that the signing of the Compro mise bill by Mr. Fillmore was a “cowardly aot, the Nt-w York RorW vory properly replies “To all those who ever had a personal acquaintance with Mr. Fillmore, the accusation of cowardice is as foreign to his character as anything that can be imagined. No man of greater moral firmneas, or a more inflexible adherence to hie senso of public duty, has takeu a prominent part iu the administration of OBT government since Washington. There woild be as much propriety in charging the vigorous sod resolute Henry Clay with oowardioe as in making this oharge against IU. Fillmore York, and for sale by Lease and Norman, j is a work as admirable iu its binding and typography, as it is in ita literary excel lence. The author is a cousin of the late Horace Greeley,and she relatos inja fresh, charming stylo, tuuoh that is new and in teresting about the lato philosopher of Chappaqua. Miss Cleveland does not at tempt a biography, but rather relates rouiinescenceH of the fonndor of the Tribune, and sho does it in such a way as to attract the attontiou from the start. Her glimpses of farm life iu the historic place, are vory good, und sho on- dears us from the start to Ida and (»a- briello Greeley, tho daughters of Horace, who, if they be half so Hweot as tlioy are painted, will make good wivcH for two good men, and that they nro not married, it seems in their own fault. “Woman, Ixjvo and Marriage" (by Frederick Maunders) is a very roadublo book. Mr. Haundera wrote some time since “ Salads for the Solitary," and in that established his reputatiou as one of tho most graceful and aoconipliHlicd wri ters of our language. Tliuckorny says : “It is best to love wisely, hut to love fool ishly is better than not to be ublo to lovu St all." Every old bachelor in the land — and we have a snore of the most confirm ed in this city should road this hook. Tho ladies should force them to do it, and we believe the result within six mouths will bo to take ali tho marriageable girls out of tho markot. The book is pub lished by G. W.

It will pain us when Htrahan closes his capital sketches, “New Hyperion.'' Edward Howland writes on “China and Jnpun," aud George McDon ald oontiuiios his story of “Malcolm." T. A. Trollope has au article on “Walter Kavago Latidor," and H. C. Clark one on “The Florida Roofs.” Lippiucott not only maintains tho high standard first adopted, hut improves on each issue ; so that the reader feels like saying “tho last is tho best.” “Appleton's Journal,” Weekly number, jutes regularly to hand, and is always oluomo. Tho last contains an able arti- le on Charlotte Cushman, the aotroHS, nooiupuiiiud by a fino portrait.

Yon forgot to pay fall postago on your letter, and were equally thoughtless in not inclosing stamps for return postage. A practiced writor would not have been so careless. John U. Jt.—Yes ; you can learn book keeping in a commercial school, hut if you are doing reasonably well on your farm, as you say, wo would not advise you to give it up. The certainty of success on a well worked farm is better than tho chance of position for a book-keeper. Do not bo ashamed of your hard hands aud bronzed face, but keep on doing tho work you are best acquainted with and you will win. Mar.—The story, or rather sketch, to which you refer was written by Washing ton Irving, and the heroine is said to have been betrothed to Emmett, the Irish ora tor and patriot. Ijocal.—We cannot give you an expia tion on the theological point that vexes you. Wo once undertook to reconcile tho (Is, but finally gavo the tusk up in ut ter disgust. To us one church is as good not her; but the best teacher will ho found in your Rihlu, freed from note or comment. Poet.—Tho line ou tho miracle referred to is said to have been written by Milton: i conscious water khw ItsOodand blushed. ’ This, however, wo think is but u para phrase of Crashaw’s Latin verso : “ Nymphs pudlca Jiourn vldll et orubult." Mary.—Wo do not know of any calling more useful or honorablo than that of school teacher. It should he ranked as a profession. Tho reason wo have so many inferior teachers iH that tho lady teachers look forward to a change of life when they marry, and male teachers are usually preparing for some other profession. Mathematician.—You can become a fair practical engineer without a knowl edge of the higher mathematics : but you must begin with a chain and work up. Wo are sure, howover, that you would learn quicker and succeed better by a careful study of those branches of mathe matics that aro absolutely essential to luako you a scientific engineer. Tried —Wo have read Darwin and Huxley, but wo have not formed nti opin ion on the subject, and would not give it if wo hud. (let tho hooks, read carefully, and oomo to your own conclusions. Westward, Ho!—It in ovidont you want to ramble, and dread work. If you cannot make a living here, you will have no show in Texas. After all, success de pends ou the man, and not on tho place. A Jloy.—Wo like your lottor, but can not promise you tho desired place now. Come to son us before tho fall, and wo will get acquainted and talk over the pro posed trade.

'1 lie Deity has wisely spread out before the brute creation an adventitious, but not uncer tain means of comfort und subsistence ; and to all animated naturo—man excepted —the vicissitudes of heat, cold, thirst and hunger, ure scarcely more constant than the moans and opportunities of adminis tering to them. In fact, I may say, that nothing affords moro solace in my isola tion ami confinement here, than tho re flection that I alone, of the wholo human family, possess an existence which iH not merely during its whole course, a struggle against death. Races on your planet pass away, one generation supplying an other ; hut my existence being necessary for the beauty and consistency of all times and traditions, is continued without eft' r 1 my part, and could not ho ter- i on at my own volition. . j difficulty with your .Southern poop, i, n, is not the fact of their pov erty, but the failure to realize their pover ty as a fart, and tho South will never at tain to any re&Honable prosperity until, may be said, she eliminates the remem brance of her former wealth. If a man among you, be he young, middle aged, or old, has been accustomed to the comfoits, thee iso, and tho luxuries thut affluence affords, and the changed condition brings imperatively into requisition the work of his hands, lot him go forward promptly, making no pouce offerings to false dignity or to tho recollection of past indepen dence. If tv lady has never known the want of rustling silks and dashing equip age, has needed nothing toward tLo grati fication of her wishes but to muko them known, and by tho operation of your com mon catastrophe, must forego them now ; wisdom demands that sho wage no vain wurfuro with uncontrollable necessi ty. My monthly rounds acquaint me w ith tho fact that in ull times, aud in all re gions of your globe, success dually awaits patient endurance in personal exertion. Innate genius will not bring it to your doors; it is not the legacy of parents ; it is neither tho creation of external advan tages nor the invariable nppomlago of wealth, or rank or talents, or station ; but tho fruit and reward of honorable, ener getic action. Why, even in Turkey, they have a maxim Hint “no mun 1ms a right to bo a sluggard, for Hint Allah lias allot ted to each liis proportionate share of la bor, and be that, folds his hands in idle ness casts a double burden upon another." You think thiH Havors of tho severity of Moslem manners, und perhaps deny that it is Moslem practice, yet it may bo treas ured up with profit, for, at leuat, it is wholesome doctrine. Tho truth is, 1 am so much interested in your pormuiiont welfare, Hint I have nlroady talked too long, and am iu dan gca of saying all my good things at a sin glo sitting; so you aro released until an other round of “Tiik Man in tub Moon."

Again aud again wo have called upon our citizens »o take more interest in tbo public library. That they have not done so is due more to a want of plan than a lack of luterest. Ou Tuesday afternoon between half-past five and six there will be a meet ing of the friends of the library iu the library rooms.
