A letter from a prominent citizen Of
Atlanta, received in New York, says
that = new political movement based
upon the belief that reconstruction I'M
der the laws OF Congress y certain to be
accomplished, and eonceding Impartial
suffrage as an irrevocable fact, has heen
started In the State, and that it is de-
signed to make such libefal concessions
to the colored voters rs I'd carry large
portion of them into the party, and
thus secure the. substantial control Of
the State to the white element. They
begin to see that this can only be done
by conceding all that Congress has pro-
claimed. -ss.s.. s. 81

CoNDEMNED.-Our county Jail has
long been considered worthless insti-
tuition, and was condemned by the
Grand Jury, at the recent session of the
District Court, in the following worthy
style:
To the District Court of Cedar county:
The undersigned, constituting the
Grand Jury of said county, empanneled
at the December term, 1857, of said
Court, respectfully state that pursuant
to the provisions of the statute requir-
ing them to inquire into the condition
and management of the public prisons
within said county, they have in this
respect performed their duty, and report
as follows: 49,
l. That the condition of the public
Jail, in said county, is unhealthy, and
insufficient to keep prisoners therein.
That its ventilation is so poor that it Is
cruelty to confine persons therein ;
that its constructions SO poor that al
most any inmate thereof, if DESTROYS,
can get out with but little trouble.
2. That it is managed as well as the
condition of the building permits.
Respectfully submitted,
GEO. w. SMITH, Foreman.

Mrs PARrINGroN INsULTED. The White
Mountains of New Hampshire are evidently :
great tnstitution-very high, heavy frosts,
beautiful view, four dollar dinners. But the
practical eye of a certain renowned Drake saw
those smoothed- faced rocks, anu thereupon
adorned and vartcgated the bride path tn the
Tip-top House with his familiar =. T.-ls6o-N.
Plantation Bitters. This raised the ire of the
Mrs. Partingtons composing the Legislature of
the Granite State, who got their wise heads to-
gether, outlawed DR. Drake, and make it q
penal offence to ply tho artistic brush on their
beloved hills. Verify, the fine arts at q dis
