Cheeky Georgia Traitors.

ATLANTA, GA, March 30.-It is not
generally known, but it is nevertheless
true, that Georgia furnished one regi-
ment of infantry to the Federal service
during the civil war. 1t was not full
regiment, and somehow the officers and
men were never paid for their services,
although they did hard fighting, and a
number of them were killed and wound
ed. They are before this Congress with
petition. This Georgia command was
made up among the hard Unionists of
Whitfield, Murray, Fannin, Dawson and
Pickens, the last two counties furnishing
the majority of recruits. When John.
ston's army abandoned its position about
Dalton and debouched across the Ooste-
maula, one James Fl. Brown, of Whit
field was authorized by General Thomas.
commanding the Army of the Cumber'
land, to raise and equip regiment for
guard duty along the line of the Western
and Atlantic Railroad. Colonel Brown
partly accomplished his mission, organ
lied several companies, and proved a
valuable ally to the Federals during the
stirring campaign that followed. When
Sherman had approached very near the
gates of Atlanta Colonel Brown and his
command came to sudden grief One
evening, while he was in camp near the
town of Gainesville, Ga, General w. It.
Woford, who commanded q detachment
of Confederate troops, raided his bivouac
and killed, captured or scattered Browns
men. No one ever heard of them from
that time until they approached this
Congress with the demand that their
muster rolls be re-establisbed and they
be paid for their services. They are
represented by W. Fl. Walker, an attor-
ney of Dalton, and Mr.. Gambler has in
troduced a bill for their relief.

The. correspondence between the
Assemblies Of: the Presbyterian Church
resulting from the conference Of last
summer looking to the reunion Of the
Northern and Southern churches has
been made public. -Four topics were
discussed, doctrine, church boards, negro
commnnicants, and political deliveran-
.ces. Upon the first three of these q
modus vipesdi has been reached. There
was no dispute about the first two, and
the position of the negro members Of the
Church has been arranged satisfactorily.
As far as the difference as to the duties
of: the Church touching political deliver
,ances is concerned the Assemblies have
not yet been able to agree. The Tooth
anniversary of the establishment of Pres.
sb5terianism will occur in May, and the
two Assemblies will meet in that month,
one at Philadelphia and the other at
Baltimore. a grand reunion during the
sessions has been arranged, and it is
believed that the goodfellowship Of the
meeting will end in speedy and lasting
union of the two Assemblies.

Another Perpetual Motion Man.

CANANDA1aUA, March 29.-David
Jennings, of Lyons, Wayne County, who
has passed twenty.one years and spent
100000 trying to discover perpetual mo.
ton, claims he has got it at last. He
has patented and has on exhibition a
machine which runs at great speed with.
out any outside agency whatever. It is
an ordinary chain, made of iron links
two inches in length, running over q
triangular frame work shapened like q
harp. The chain runs on wheels placed
at the three angels, and is 80 constructed
that when descending the long side of
the triangle the links double up and the
increased weight keeps up the motion.
From the character of the motive power,
the movement of the chain constantly
increases in rapidity, and a brake is re.
quired to regulate it.

Z It is useless to grumble about the
weather 30 early in the year. Perhaps
the worst is yet to come. The Rev. Mr..
Hicks, ofst.. Louis, who has made few if
any mistakes up to date, predicts no end
oftrouble during almost every month. in
the year. He says that we are to have 8
spring and summer of violent storms,
and another earthquake period in Sep.
.tember: It is to be hoped that Mr..
Hicks knows no more about such things
than the other weather prophets, but he
continues to hit itright along, and peo-
pie cannot help feeling little uneasy.
He has made SO much fame that it is an
easy matter to depress the jolliest crowd
by simply mentioning his name.

thereon.
The bill as recommended by the Com.
mittee on Rivers and Hsrbors appropriates
$40, 1872, ,7S3, and of that sum the Southern
States get more than they have at any
time heretofore. The Western States
also get a very generous portion Of it,
and while the amount is considered very
large, still the indications at the Capitol
are that the Senate will add still more to
it when it gets there.
Great excitement is prevailing here
over the discovery that $4,000 worth OF
good mail bags have been stored away in
the damp cellars of the Post Office and
allowed to rot while every year calls
have been made for more bags. 1t is
charged that this wrong has continued
for years past, and is brought to light
now only by the removal of the superin-
tendent who has had charge of that
branch for % wears past. 81.

industrious farmer of Cofeeville, Miss,
picked up his axe one day i the latter
part of January, walked up slight in
cline from his residence to where log Of
pine lay, and stepped up with the inten.
tion of splitting it. His son, aged 10
years, ran down to where his father was
at work, and, WI IN within ten feet of the
log slipped, the ground being covered
with ice, aud shot straight under the axe
as it was descending. McCibbeD, in a
wild effort to cave his son, fell off the log
on his back, but too late, the axe sunk in
the little fellows head.

Senator Wade Hampton, says the New
York Sun, is one of the few members Of
the United States Senate who has a cor.
rect idea of speech.making. While Mr..
Hampton's ability is acknowledged, he
is seldom publicly heard from. Speak
ing on the subject to friend recently,
Mr.. Hampton said that he did not
believe in speech-making. He regarded
as great waste of time. In his opin-
ion it had never changed q vote. IfMr.
Hampton could inspire few of his
Democratic friends in the Senate with
the sentiments that actuate him he would
deserve the thanks Of the country.
