General Sherman at Atlanta.

General Sherman's visit to Atlanta,
the first since he took it and thence
marched through Georgia to the
sea, is likely to be recorded in histo
ny as a memorable incident. 1t is
said that when Wellington revisited
the field Of Waterloo, he found
the people cutie indifferent to
every thing connected with and
resulting from THAI battle, ex-
cept that the blood shed had greatly
enriched the soil and increased the
crops of several subsequent years.
But Sherman was confronted by no
such stolidity lie was received as
if everybody wildly remembered
the event and appreciated the fact
that be was the hero Of the occasion.
But the remarkable thing about it
was that no traces Of ill-feeling were
observable. The Atlantans met
their conqueror as though he were
entitled to their especial gratitude.
There was no noisy demonstration,
but every mark of respect was shown
him.
The explanation of this friendly
welcome must be sought for in the
spirit and effect Of the capture itself.
70 the Mayor and Common Council
OF Atlanta, seventeen years ago, Sen
oral Sherman said;

WnAr were once vices are now

" HAT were once vices are now
the manners OF the day. Owen
King in his contestlng claims, points
out that in Mineral Point eight
votes were cast for Hazelton through
bribery, and twenty by illegal vot-
ers who were not properly register
ed. This is a severe censure upon
the ability ana integrity Of the
members of the board Of inspectors
acting in this city at the last cleo
ton. These men have been among
Us for wears, and at various othei
times chosen to positions of honor
and trust, and always given entire
satisfaction to the community.
Now for one Owen King to step in
and accuse them of such ignorance
Of the law is an etfrontery least ex-
pected from that source. The ma
jority Of the board have insured all
inquirers that such claims are
groundless, and we take their word
knowing there's honor in it. From

should and who should not emigrate.
First, persons proposing to emf
CRATE to a new country with view
10 improving his condition, should
have good health, for nowhere more
than in a strange land among stran.
gers is there q need Of the buoyancy
OF the spirit enabling one to bear up
under disappointment and hardship,
which as a rule belongs only to a
sound body. Persons beyond the
prime of life caunct adapt themselves
to circumstances so well as a young
man, and should not emigrate unless
I possessed of means. Single persons
are much safer in taking their chan
ces than persons who have to pro
vide for others. Heads of families,
even if young and strong, should
/ carefully weigh all the circumstances

and those whose future depends on
their success or failure.
No one should think of emigrat-
ing without sufficient money to sup
port himself for at least short time
after arriving at their destination.
for employment Immediately on
their arrival cannot be hoped for,
and there is noting more humiliat-
ing than becoming an object of char
ity. Generally speaking, mechanics
run the least risk in emigrating Of
anybody. We are over-run with
lawyers, doctors and adventures;
none such need apply. Merchants
with enterprise and capital to back
them, can always find good openings,
but clerk stands no show. The
best time 20 cinlgrate is the spring,
as the chances OF finding employment
are better than at any other season,
as the farmers can Immediately
proceed with the cultivation of their
land. l would particularly recon-
mend farmers coming to this coast
to 80 to Oregon and Washington
Territory, as there is more, better
and cheaper land in there than in
California, and a failure of q crop,
which occurs very often in Calfor-
MIA, is thing unknown there; if
anything they have little too much
rain. | should also recommend farm
ers TO rent farm for a year or two
after arriving and it will give them
chance to look around for a per-
manent location.

board and lodging costs from $50
per month upwards; if you come
alone and are willing to rough it q
| little you can set board and lodging
for about $50 permonth. Then if you
take your family with you, unless
YOU have a bank TO draw ON, your
money will soon run out, and you
will be IN pretty fix--a stranger

WHITTLE,S PREACHING.
To be q Christian Ono Should Lay Aside
All Self-Righteousness.

AL OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Major Whittle took his subject from tho
gospel of Luke, last night, saying: A cele.
brated London physician who died lately loft
word that he wished the announcement of his
death to be followed BY the statement that he
died in the hope of Christ, without any
righteousness of my own" (The story of zao.
cheus was never read.)
Christ told the publican that he came to
''seek and to save those that are lost" Now,
this man was a tax-gatherer, and was an out
cast from his people. He was rich, and lead.
er among his class. And Christ told him that
salvation was this day come to his house. He
was a sinner but he had a desire to see Jesus,
and found him.
The publican found that great obstacle was
in the way of seeing Jesus, he waa short of
stature. and 30 he climbed into tree. There
is one great obstacle in the way of sinners COM
ing to Jesus. and this Is pride. There are other
obstacles, but this is the chief one.
We can often find some excuse for not COM
ing to Jesus. Zaocheus might have said, SWELL
now am small and God made me small, and
it's not my fault" So we may say, Il am in
a position where God has put me, and have
got to attend to my business" or some other
excuse, but tho publican made no excuse at all.
No ridicule kept Zaccheus from seeing Jesus;
no business engagements kept him back; no
selfish motives kept HIM back. He was bound
to see Jesus and he put himself out of the way
to do it, and now was the time to do it. nv
friends, next week Jesus may have passed by
you. Poor Zaccheus, after he was invited to
come down and follow Jesus might have said
There is Judas he is bad man and will
not follow him who he follows" So with you;
you may think there is in the church much of
hypocrisy; many do stay away on this account
but Jesus is not a hypocrite, and you are SIN
ner. You are not expected to follow the un-
worthy ones-you are to follow Jesus.
We read that the publican made haste to
come down and receive Jesus as his guest.
Many are lost because they do not make haste
little longer-next week, some other time
are the excuses made; but to-day is the accept
ed time. =
Yes, my friends, now is the time. Christ is
very near you tonight. He stands before YOU
but don't ait or stand before him. Down on
your knees in your proper position. Zaccheus
received him joyfully; he made no excuses. but
received him just as he was. So with yon; you
must accept Christ joyfully, and just as you
are Don't wait till you get ready, but take
him Just now.
The major illustrated his discourse with
many pertinent anecdotes.
