FROM THE INTERIOR.
Interesting Extracts from £§ate
Papers.
By the ariival of the steamer Jeff. Davis
from Augusta yesterday, we received full
files of late interior papers, from which we
make tke following extracts :
Governor Johnson.— The Augusta Cot
stitutionalist says:
We are permitted to publish the following
telegram to a gentleman in this city.
Washington, Junq^lh.
James Johnson is our Governor. He is a
man of ability and you may expect soon to
have civil government. lam well, write me
Joshua Hill.
The Mails. —The Atlanta Intelligencer of
vesterday says it has received Nashville and
New York papers by mail, and speaks of
mail communication being resumed between
Atlanta aud New York. Such being the
case, may we not hope that Aughsta will
soon participate in the advantages of direct
mail intercourse with the North and West ?
Short. —The Chattanooga Gazette says :
In counting the specie of the defuuct Bank
of the State, it is disclosed that very many of
tiie boxes do not contain the amounts of
coin supposed to be iu them. It is doubtful
if any of them will hold out. It looks as
though the coin custodians in Dixie had
taken a percentage for spending money, and
bad forgotten to make any note of it.
Cavalry. —A fine body of cavalry belong
ing to Maj Gen. Wilson’s command passed
through the city yesterday. They were well
mounted and presented a very superior ap
fiearance, the men being generally tall, ath
etic looking fellows from the far west.
How togo North. —Reaching Allanta you
take one of King and Jacksons hacks and go
to Cartersville, fifty miles where the cars
start at 4A. M., for Chattanooga. The Rail
road is in running order to , and the cars
ruu down Thursday lGth, but passengers
come only to Cartersville. Some ot the way
near Marietta, the rails are down, and the
bridge across the Chattahoochee is going up
slowly ; but we must wait pr >bably a month
for the completion of the whole. Fare to
Cartersville by wagon $10 —to Chattanooga,
$7: to Nashville. sl2; to Louisville, $7,50;
to St. Louis, $12,50; about SSO, more than
one hundred per cent dearer than betore the
war; few passenger cars to Nashville—chief
ly boxes with pretty hard seats.
Fully Pardoned. —We are gratified to
learn by a private telegram received yester
day in the city, that Hon- E M. Bruce, late
member of the Confederate Congress, hn*
been granted the full bene fit of President
Johnsons amnesty proclamation.
Very certainly this act of forbearance could
not have extended to a gentleman of greater
worth. Mr. Brace while a “rebel,” was an
active and energetic one ; now that he is a
citizen of the Union, h? will prove of invalu
able use by the exercise of his great energy
and admirable business qualities. We are
glad to know that henceforth he is to be en
rolled among the citizens of Augusta.
Duty of the Southern Press —Says the
Macon Telegraph;
Never before had the Southern press such
a painful duty to perform. Identified as it is
with th£ interests of the people, rejoicing in
their success and sorrowing in their defeat,
it has become its duty to recommend a policy
which but a few years since it would have
condemned, but which it now' thinks honor
and interest alike requjre should be speedily
and fully adopted. It is not only the honor
and interest of the people to adopt this policy,
but there is no other alternative left than that
of the policy of this government; and that
person is blinded to his own interest and
happiness who fails to commit himself to
that policy, while the press which should re
fuse would prove recreant to its trust.
Northern Georgia.— l never saw a more
complete pile of ruins than now marks the
ground where once st&od the business poi
tion of the Gate City. Sherman evidently
intended that the “gate” he had fought so
long and despairingly to open, should net
again be closed during th» war. Marietta
shared the fate of Atlanta, but one block of
buildings being left. Atlanta shows consid
erable signs of resuming life; Marietta very
little. The opening of the railroad will give
anew impetus to both. We found the cars
running to Kingston which also looks
very much dilapidated. Dalton shows more
signs of life and activity than any town we
have seen since leaving Macon. There are
quite a number of stores, and all seem to be
doing a heavy business. The town has been
occupied all the time by Union troops, and
has been the principal mart of trade for all
the people this side the Chattahoochee; since
the railroad has been destroyed.
The country all the way from Atlanta still
shows the marks of the sweep of contending
hosts. Fields laid waste, fences torn down
or burnt, houses in ruin, and people in pov-.
erty, but thank God, now, not in despair.
All express themselves highly gratified at the
return of peace, ancl faces, which a year ago
were* always sad and sorrowful, arc once
more assuming the cheerful aspect of old.—
Macon Telegraph.
Village Charters.— The Macon Telegraph
says ;
Almost every village in the State has a
charter providing for the election of officers
iu whose charge the interests of the peop e
in that corporation are committed. In many
instances these charters have been sleeping
amjd the archives of the country. It is tin e
now to revive them. The good of the villa
gers demand it; and we are pleased to know
that the neighboring village of Forsyth has
begun the much needed work. On yester
day an election was held in that, village for
five commissioners, who, according to
charter of the town, constitute the municipal
authority for the preservation of orde-,
amongst the community. Every village as be
fore said na»the same means by which they
can secure good order. Will they not use
them ?

FOUI.LT ASSASSINATED, APRIL 14, 1865 —IN SCRIP ED TO
PUNCH.
BY ALICE CART..
No glittering chaplet bronght from other lands:
As in his life, this man, in death, Is ours ;
His own loved prairies o’er his “gaunt gnarled hands”
Have fitly drawn their sheet of Summer flowers i
What need hath he now of a tardy crown,
His name from mocking jest aud sneer to save?
When every ploughman turns his furrow down
As soft as though it tell upon his grave.
He was a man whose like the world again
Shall never sec, to vex with blame or praise;
The landmarks that attest his bright, brief reign
Are battles, not the pomps of gala-days 1
The grandest leader of the grandest war
That ever time In history gave a place;
What were the tinsel flattery of a star
To snch a breast! or what a ribbon’s graoe !
•Tis to th.’ man, and th’ man’s honest worth,
The nation’s loyalty in tears upsprings;
Through him the sbli of labor shines henceforth
High o’er the silken broideries of kings
The mechanism of external forms—
The shrifts that courtiers pat their bodies through,
Were alien ways to him—his brawny arms
Had other work than posturing to do!
Bom of the people, well be knew to grasp
The wants and wishes of the weak and small; •
Therefore we hold him with no Phadowy clasp—
Therefore h!s name Is household to us all.
Therefore we love him with a love apart
From any fawning love of pedigree—
His was the royal soul and mind and heart
Not the poor outward shows of royalty.
Forgive us then, O friends, if we are slow
To meet your recognition of his worth—
We’re Jealous of the very tears that flow
From eyes thauicver loved a humbio hearth.
The Laconic Style.
As applied to epistles and telegrams this is
excellent; A husband telegraphed to his wife,
“What have you for breakfist, and bow is
baby?” The answer came, “Buckwheat
cakes and the measles.”
The cheapest telegram ever sent was by an
Irishman- Said he to the telegraph operator,
“Do you ever charge anybody for the ad
dress in a message?’’ “No," replied the op
erator. “And do ye chaige for signing his
name, sir?’ “No, sir.” “Well, thin, will
ye plase send this? I Jist want me brother
to know I’m here”—hundinsf the following;
“To John McFiinn at New York
(signed) Patrick MeFlinn." The message
was sent, and no Qtorgc made.
Humphreys, the boxer, alter he had con
quered Mendoza, the Jew, wrote a friend as
follows:
“Dear John—l’ve done the Jew. ,
Yours, T. Humphreys.”
Everybody has heard of the famous letters
which passed between the adverse chiefs of
Sir O'Connell and Tyrone.
“Pay me my tribute or if you don’t—r
* O’Connell.”
‘T owe you no tribute, and if I did—
ONeil,”
After Kean’s performance of Abel Drug
ger, for his own benefit, at Drury Lana
theatre, Mrs. Garrick, with more sincerity
than politeness, wrote as follows :
“Dear Sir—You can’t play Abel Drugger.
Yours, S. Garrick.
.To Edmund Kean, Esq."
To this the modern Roscius laconically re
plied :
“Dear Madam—l know it.
Yours, E. Kean.
To Mrs. Garrick.”
The celebrated Foote’s correspondence with
his mother is equally pithy:
“Dear Sam—l’m in prison.
Your loving mother, A. Foote.”
“Dear mother—So am I.
Your affectionate son, Sam Foote”
Three RclkiTfor Readers. —ln the Eng
lishman’s Magazine the Dean of Bly lays
down the three following rules to those who
would become proficients in reading : “First.
Finish each word. I use the phrnso in the
sense of a watchmaker or jeweller. The dif
ference between two articles, which at a lit
tle distance took much the same, all lies in
the finish. Eich wheel in a watch must be
thoroughly finished ; and so each word in
the seutcnce must be most completely and
carefully pronounced. This will make a
reading both pleasant and audible. Careful
pronunciation is more important than noise.
Some time ago I heard a person make a
speech in a large hall; he spoke distinctly,
„nd I heard every word; unfortunately, he
became warm in his subject, and spoke
loudly and energetically, and immediately
his speech became an inarticulate noise.
Secondly—Do not drop the voice at
the end of the sentence. Simple as this rule
may seem, it is one most necessary
to enforce. If the whole of a sentence
oe audible except the conclusion, the
passage read becomes discontinuous, a series
of intelligible portions interspersed with
blanks. Confusion, of necessity, attaches to
the whole. Thirdly. Always fead from a
lull chest. The reading voice should always
be a complete voce di petto; and the chest,
which is truly the wind-chest of the human
organ, should never be exhausted. This is
as important for speaker as for hearers, and
for the hearers as for the speaker. The voice
is delivered with ease, and b’ecomes agreea
ble. Singers know well the importance, in
deed the necessity, of taking breath at proper
places. The same tbiug is important for
jading; in a large building attention to this
matter is indispensible.”
Little Bobby, of four years, had been lec
tured by his aunt on the evils of disobedience
to parents, aud the example was shown him
of a boy, who disobeyed his mother, went to
the river, and got drowned. ■ _ ,
“Did he die ?" said Bobby, who had given
the story due attention. *
“Yes," was the serious reply.
“What did they do with him?” asked
Bobby, after a moment’s reflection.
. “Carried him home,” replied the monitor
with solemnity. »
After tnming the matter over m his mind,
it was hoped profitably, he closed the con
versation by asking:
“Why didn't they chuck him in again ?”
