Tho Hongo waa mot, tho Journal read Th' reporters at thou- station; Naught was to do but go ahead In patching up tho nation. But, ss they spoke,and ss thoy "mored," They stirred tho slumbering uros, , And leading statesmen soon bogan To call each other liars 1 The lie was given and 'twas returned. As to their feet they bounded; Loud voices filled thc troubled air. And loud the hammer pounded. Up til er e aloft ?at FAIUCEB J OI IN, Astonished at thc clamor, And at the invoctivee fiercely hurled, Spite of tho Speaker's hammer! For ho had como from a distant home, To admire thc legislators, "But now," ho said (and hung his head), "I vow they're sm Jl po ta ters I I thought thu mon who moko our laws Wore uU high-toned debaters; . But 'pears fm tholr tulk they've quite a mix Of liars and of trait irs 1 One gin a snort at the Supreme Court And, hard words 1 how thoy sling 'em I T don't behove a word you say 1' Says Thad, to Mr. Bingham. If things go on in this hero way If there s 'n eternal ruction, 'What kinder chance has the pe plo got For a decent reconstruction ? They're kindiiu' fires hera every day Between the dill crin' members, And every moruin', sore as guns, Some cuss stirs up the embers. I wuz in hopes thoy'd find a plan To lighten up the nixes; But I am told their time is spent I- grindin' of their axes. Aman told me that thia 's a fact "Twos only t'other Monday Whilst I wuz luckin' at them things 'Woy up in tho Korundy.

But s'posin* he should put on airs About tho people's power. And try to smash the Supreme Court? The people, in on hour. Would send him word to hold his hand, Because ho wa'nt croce ted To spile the Government machine For iAat he wa'nt elected." Statte Items. BOOTTHRY.-Two horses were stolen last wee! from th? atables of ^afferent gentlemen of thit * town. These outrages aro becoming alarmingly prevalent, and are increasing from tho fact that the scoundrels engaged in their commission arc rarely, if ever, detected. The lost property is verj seldom recovered-it vanishes into the gloomy shades of the night, ?nd is seen no more by its former owner.-Oliester Standard. GOOD NEWS FOB CAMBEN.-Just as we go to press, Col. Shannon, a Director in the South Caro? lina Railroad, has shown us tho official assurance ot Mr. Magrath, President, that the work of recon? struction of the Camdon Branch will be commenc? ed on the 1 ;t of February proximo. [Camden Journal. THE NEW JAIL.-The Legislature, at its last ses? sion, appropriated $10,000 for the erection of a non jail in this District, and the Commissioners ol Public Buildings, in pursuance of the authority vested in them, are making the necessary arrange? ments for carrying on the work. Flans anc specifications were called for, and several submit? ted, when t .ose pr. par ed. by Messrs. Kay <S Hewetson were selected as the best. The new jail is to be located on Assembly street on the site of the old sword factory.- It will be c massive prison-like building, two stories in height yet with a handsome, and imposing front, ?hi main entrance-a large and handsome doorway opens into a ve.-tibuio, on each side of which ore receiving rooms for prisoners; and in the rear, doora leading to the interior-ono to the jailor's quarters, the other to a large hall, which com? municates with the passage on which the debtors cells open. Two flights of wide . stairs ascend tc the second story-one for the use of prisoners, tilt other for the jailor only, except in case of emer? gency, such as fire. This story is divided inte three wards-one for ?.hit6 males, oho for black the other for t?malas, white and black being scpa j, rated.-Columbia Phcenix. The passages are wide, airy and well lighted b\ strongly barred windows,-and entirely surrouni the cells, which are commodious, and, in our opin? ion, exceedingly strong and secure-in fact, the; constitute a jail within a jail. In a projection o? tho south end of the building, washstands and al other necessary conveniences aro provided for th< prisoners of each ward; in the roof of this projec non, there is to be a large tonk, affording a con staut supply of water, and from whence, in case o fire, the floors could be immediately flooded; in deed, every possible precaution appears to b< taken against tiro, as a three-inch hydrant extend? to the second story, having a nozzle on each floor for which a hose is to be provided. ; The system o heating and ventilating appears very perfect an< thorough, there being a separate heating and ven tilating flue of proper capacity to each cell. Then are in all the war dd .eighteen single cells, and threi cells each capable of containing from three to fou prisoners. . , - - Georgia. Items. THE LAUNCH.-Yesterday morning, between i and 10 o'clock, tho new pilot boat built at the shi yard of Mr. F. Willink\ Jr., was successful! launched. Notwithstanding the weather was si unpropitious, quito a large crowd were gathered U Bee the boat take her nrat dip in -her element Quite a number of invited guests were on boord and the chocks being removed, the boat alowl; glided down tho na.,a, and when she plunged hel nose in the water Captain len. Broeck, who s toot at the bow, broke a Dottie of ohampogne over it . giving her the name of Emma A. Dickerson, ii compliment to the wife of Captain Dickerson. A sumptuous repast was spread out above the steam saw mili, of which the assembled guests partook freely. Among them we noticed Colonel ? Sibley and Lieutenant Colonel Croften, with other officers of the post and many of our merchant . A large number of. ladies wore also present, and added greatly to tlie enjoyment of the scene. The tables were well filled wish the delicacies of the . season, and wino and wit flowed abundantly. The affair, altogether, passed off pleasantly, and many . were the well-wishes expressed for tue Emma A. Dickerson.-Oaoannali Aeics. A detachment of United States soldiers has been sent to Dahlonega ''to afford protection to life and property, and induce capital and labor to concentrate there to work the mines."' The Dahlonega Signal contains a communica? tion recommending General L. J. Gartrell for Gov? ernor. At an election in Atlanta, on Wednesday, to rati? fy the amendment in the city charter authorizing elections by wa: ds, the voto was two hundred and fifty-eight for ratification, and five against it. The Bambridge Argus says that $30,000 of the subscription necessary to insure tho completion ol the Gulf Boad to that point has been put down, and the remaining. $20,000, it is believed, will be forthcoming. . .-' The Marietta paper- milk have undergone a thorough repair, ana are now turning out a supe? rior article of printing paper.; There aro now forty or fifty business houses in Marietta,1 embracing every variety of merchan? dise. Captain De la Mesa, who lords it over the people of Rome, bas ordered the keepers of the Star Sa? loon to tako down their sigh of a'lone star. He also ordered another saloon-keeper to remove his sign-the "Confed?ralo Saloon. He is the- great man who has six young men of Borne in jail in At? lanta for exhibiting a Confederate flag in a tab lean representing the soldier's grave. ? Three small wooden buildings in Atlanta, be? tween Marietta street and the bridge, were de? stroyed by fire yesterday about 4 o'clock, supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. The loss was email-probably not exceeding $2000 for the buildings and contents. < THE SAVANNAH LBBKL CASE-AS WK EXPECTED_ The New York Times contains the following dis? patch from* Savannah. We supposed that the libo! case of HATES would be worked np into Radical political capital, though no human being would have dreamed of such a thing if the offender was not a Northern man. The dispatch reads as fol? lows: The case of the State of Georgia vs. John E. Hayes, editor and proprietor of the Savannah Re gublic?rv indicted for libelling Solomon Cohen, ongresamen elect, by charging that he was a de? faulter as Postmaster to the United States Govern? ment, was decided to-day by a verdict of guilty. The Solicitor General and Messrs. Harden and Levy for the State, and Hon. H. T. Fitch, United States District Attorney, and Messrs. Hartridge, Chisolm and Stone for the defence. 'The case ex? cited great public interest from the.pobtical issue ' involved and the promii.ence of the parties. The verdict is considered os adversely affecting the rights cf all Northern men in this community. If the fellow who sent this North means to say that under the la ws of Georgia "Northern or Union men" cannot slander honest* Southern men with impunity, he speaks, the truth. The man who wishes to claim such a right here, had better ??st o t of the State at once and set np in some WSck guard Northern community where character is worth nothing.and bearing false witneas against hia neighbors is respectable. If he means to say that A Chatham county court and jury were influence.] bv political prejudice in this case-which he evi? dently does-he simply states a falsehood. Hayes would gladly be a martyr, and we shall not ne-surprised tc see ? Radical mr. ve m en tin Congress for a commvtteo of investigation. , [Macon Telegraph. The Bight Ber.

EY SHERMAN'S MARCH.-A memorial was-presented to the Senate on the 31st ultimo, from Senor de Palma, the Consul of Portugal at Savannah during the rebellion, claiming remune? ration lor property taken by Sherman's army. He had removed his family to Winnsboro', 8.0., where, as he alleges, they were robbed of $6000 in gold, jewels and wearing apparel, to 'tho total value of $32,474. He complains that his application for re? dress has failed to receive proper consideration st the State Department. Hortli Carolina Ittnu. CTDTBAOE-We have received information to the effect, that a few nights since a party of armed men went to the plantation of Mrs. John Walker, of this city, on Bocky Point, and demanded and ob? tained of the negroes engaged to work the place during the coming season, the horses ia their possession, numbering in ail eight or ton. The party consisted of four vf bite mon, two of whom were disguised as negroes, and styled tr-anselves "Ko gula tore," stating that they wero from Duplin aud Sampson counties, and that thoy belonged to air.organization who hail sworn to dispossess tho negroes o? this section of every horse thoy owned. No resistance was ruado by tho negroes ito tho partv, who wore all armed, and if Ibero has been any "discovery of tboir identity tho negroes aro afraid to reveal it. Tho horses thus stolen were tho rightful property of tho negroes, who halve, by thia unlawful act, experienced a severo loss, es? pecially as tho planting season is so near at hand. The suflorors know not where to appeal for re? dress, and wo .think that if tho legislature now in session would but dodore horse stealing, for tho i first offence, a capital felony, punishable with death, much inconvenience and loss would boob-! vin,tod. In tho meantime the whole county should bo on their . uard to apprehend these depredators and bring them to that puuisUmont which tho law now inflicts.-.WOminglon .low-mil ?' ', . AUHIVED.--Tb? Bteamshipa'lteboeca Clyde and Promotheiio both arrived m port yesterday after? noon from Now York. Tho cargo brought by tho first named is quito largo, and that of tho Prome? theus,although not HO groat, is considerable.-Ibid. PITT COUNTY.-A party of desperadoes, in the lower part of Pitt, overtook tho Sherill' a few nights ago, at a point known as Haddock's Cross Roads, and, compelling him to dismount, took possession of Iiis money and tho papera ho liitd about hun. Wo understand that no violonce was offered to tho porson of Mr. Gray, the Sheriff, be? yond forcing him to deliver up "everything iii his possession. Tho same band, or another acting in concert with them, then proceeded to Greenville, and en? tering tho clork's office in the Court House, effected a terrible destiuction of the records and legal doc? uments therein. Wo are not advised as to the amount of damago inflicted, but fear it will prove heavy, and causo much less and inconvenience to the county.-Wilson North Carolinian, '.. THE CR?TES PLANTATION DirnemLTr_The Au? gusta (Ga.) correspondent of the Kow York Times speaks thus of this affair: It has boen ascertained beyond a doubt that a negro from Massachusetts, named Bradloy, has been the cause of all tho troubles among tho freedmen on tho Chevos plantations, near. Sa? vannah, and to quoll which it was found neces? sary to employ a considerable force of United States troops. This Bradley is tho same who, a little more than a year ago, was tried by a mili? tary commission, by order of General Brannan, for exciting insurrection, and was condemnod to a yeai'a imprisonment in Fort Pulaski, but was subsequently released. He desires to be admit? ted to tho bar of this State, but as yet has not been anio to obtain tho certificate of a Judge of competent jurisdiction to enablo him to write Attorney and Couucillor-at-law after his name. Prom all I can learn about him and his opera? tions, ho seems to be impressed with tho idea that bis light will never shine with its fuit efful? gence until he can become the leading spirit of a negro insurrectioD, and that to bring about this rosul: it is his duty to persuado the freedmen who have squatted upon estates along the Georgia and South (Jardina co. et, that the iertilo landa which they have made a wilderness are theirs in feo-siin pi?; that any attempt to dispossess them and re? store the property to the owners is tho treasonable act of the President, and that if they res.st the outrago by loree and arms, Mr. Sumner and Mr. Steveus wid "see them rigbted." Happily Brad? ley's machinations have boen frustrated for tho present by the energetic action of the Commis? sioners for Georgia aud South' Carolina, and the seasonable intervention of United States troops, who could not bo induced to listen to Bradley's eloquence. The bellicose freedmen have yielded, andar? now, it is reported, malting contracts to cultivate the lands for hire, to which Bradley con? vinced them they had a sort of right of discovery.
