From the Rome Courier we learn that Mr. Dwinell, of that paper,has purchased the good will and subscription list of the Daily and weekly Commercial, and a s soon as the fall business justifies will issue the Courier as a daily. This, to us, looks like a sensible move. Rome is a thriving little city, and will give one paper a handsome support and enable the publisher to make a more creditable journal than could in reason beexpeted whore there is competition. The coun try has got more newspapers than it supports, anyway. letter From Dalton. Dalton Ga , April Bth 187 G. Dear Times: As weddings have be c-ime so “ few and far betwen ” perhaps a description of one that was consuuia - ted here will not prove uninteresting to your readers. 'fhe happy paii were Miss Lizzie Williams and Mr. F. Clayton, both par t’es being Good Templars. The cere mony was performed at the Lodge Hall which was cxquisitly decorated with wreaths and arches and festoons of ev ery description. About 9 o’clock the IIuH was filled with the beauty.and elite of Dalton.— The assembled guests, attired in lull evening costume, amused themselves with witty repartee, anxiously awaiting ch>e arrival of the bridal cor icy e. Soon a -breathless silence fell upon the assem bly and it was- whispered that the bride his arrive!.. Tte organ commenced playing the sweetr thrilling strains of the wedding march. The permormer was Master Tommie Huulsy who is quite a musical genius for one of his years. The bride was lovely in her flowing robe of spotless white, with a long veil thrown over her liko a cloud of white and orange flowers, emblamitical of wo*- man’s troth, circling her fair brow.— The bride’s maids were dressed in blue and white and pink and white. The attendants were Mr. Charley Town ley and Miss Ada Aunspaugh, Mr. Yandi.* ve:ie of Cartersville, and Miss Maggie Jefferson of this city, Mr. Harry Tom* ley and Miss Josio Love, Mr. Gharly Carter and Miss Alice Love. The ceremony was performed by the llev. Mr. McGee. After which the the happy pair received the congratula tions of their friends and brothers and and sisters in the order of Faith, Hope and Chatty.

Watts, Peo ter Freer and Pi C. lioud, Cuiumbus Ga : My Idem 4 Sirs —I hav the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 13th ult.. ackirrg me ru allow my name to bo presented to the people fur rerK>i#fh)H for thv oStee of Ooveihiof of Georgi*.- The gravity of the question' Shfts presetted' Will I trust* be accept ed’as a suffibient reason for my delay in replying to your esteemed communica tion. It is known to you gentlemen as well as to other friends in different part of the State, that I have not desired a election to the alfice I now hold. So far as my own personal feeliufis are cone cerned 1 bavo mode no 3ecret of my intention to retire at the oxpiraaion of om present term. It for a little vvh U past 1 have appeared to occupy a differ, ent position from that originally taken and frequently anounced, it was in con sequence of assults made upon my ad ministration’; and, indirectly through me ipon Hhj Legislature arid the Demo cratic party in the State. It is nocnecessary to success to dis cuss the motives which inspired these attacks, further than to say that they were of such a character as in my judg ment made it proper for me to suspend my fiire-t intention and'holb myself in a position to answer any demand which the puj&y might think proper to lay ujir on me. It is now manifest, however that any injury resulting from these assults has fallen alone upon' those whose interests they were designed l to subserve, whether the assailants be as you suppose, “the holders of discred ited qonds, partisans or personal ene mies. This codsideration leaves-ms' time to return to my original purpose and desire. And to decline, as I now db, with great respict to have my name presented to the approaching Gubortorial Couven for renomination. I canuot conclude this communica tion without returning thanks to you for tho flattering terms in which you are pleased to esfross your friendly re gards fur me. I desire, also, to make my grateful acknowledgments to the people ot Georgia for the unmerited houor they have conferred upon me, and for the generous support they have acorded my efforts to adorn inter the gaeat trust confided to my hands. — When re reoall the chaotic state in wh.’th we found every department of the government in 1862, and contrast it with our present peaceful and happy condition, i feel that we all have cause for congratulation. Our public debt has been ascertained, and the interest on it is now regularly paid, while our bonds are to-day rated far above pa’ in the great centers of trade. Our educa tional system lias been established on a solid foundation ; our varied r esources are being rapidly and systematically de veloped ; and our judiciary, for its iim tegrity and ability, is second to none in the entire Union. I can only w ish that the prosperous career upon which we have entered may suffer no check; and that both in our state and federal relations, we may enjoy for many generations to come, the blessing ot peace and Jibertv. I am, gentlemen, your Sriend and ob’t serv’t, James M. Smith.
