THE COMMENCEMENT OF A NEW ERA IN* GEORGIA MANUFACTURES.-Wo noticed, some days ago, the expected arrival at Savannah, por steamship Virgo, of a number of immigrants, composed of weavers and operatives, with their fami? lies, destined for the Englo nud Phouix Mills of Columbus, Georgia. Tho Sa? vannah News, of Monday, gives the fol? lowing details of this important arrival: "They arrived ou Saturday by tho Virgo, and include sixty-six of tho finest and intelligent men nud women wo have ever seen; hale, hearty and full of that good humor which distinguishes men who have a secure place in which to work out their position as honored citi? zens of the Empire State. Tho immi? grants wore accompanied by a number of fine looking children, intelligent aud hearty, their rosy cheeks suggestive of health, nnd their genial bright looks of honesty and integrity. Messrs. Wm. Henry Woods & Co., to whom tho list was consigned, met them nt the wharf, supplied their immediate wauts, and they wero transported by them to their homo in Columbus. We can congratu? late the Eagle aud Phoenix Mills on this advent of good mon, women nud chil? dren to their material force, and thc State of Georgia and its manufactories upon the introduction of skilled and iu telligent labor. Tho men will prove good citizens, and the childrcu will be heard from in the future development of the interests of the State. We can only add to other manufacturing interests, 'Go thou aud do likewise.' " Louis NAPOLEON'S MEMORY.-Napo? leon III has an extraordinary memory for names, figures, faces and miscellane? ous facts. A Gorman prof essor, who waB called to Paris in counectiou with the publication of tho "Vie de C:esa.r," relates that it was Napoleon's invariable habit, on having communicated to him a name or number, or auy brief fact which he wished to remember, to writo it down in a note-book kept exclusively for that purpose, and which always lay upou his desk. After writing down the memo? randum, he would tear the leaf out of the book, read it over once attentively, and then tear the leaf up. And he told the professor that after impressing a fact on his mimi by this process, he never forgot it. The key to this extra? ordinary faculty of memory doubtless lies in the fact that, during his long years of imprisoumeut, in early life, ho did not dare to cary important memo? randa about him. He was obliged to rely on his memory; but that he did uot at first trust it altogether, is seen by the fact that, through tho force of habit, he is still obliged to make sure of a fact by writing it down, and KO fixing it iu his mind, instead of trusting entirely to the seuse of hearing to act upon his memory. AMONO TUE LEPERS.-Rev. Dr. Robin? son, in one of his letters from Asia Minor, says: .'As wo deported from tho town, we found ourselves suddenly coufronted, among the hedges of aloes, with a crowd of lepers. They were crying abjectly for money, and extending their most mon? strous deformities almost so as lo touch us with their hands. So hideous and loathsome aro theso creatures that all pity shrinks into u passion of recoil from them. Their hands dropping off finger by finger and joint by joint; their noses eaton away, their lips rotted off, their voices hoarse and unearthly, their forms shrunken-oh, I canuot mako words say, in any force of violcuco, how dreadfully repulsive thia sceuo was to us all." During au artillery .skirmish between the Prussians and tho French, which re? sulted iu nothing moro than the burning of a number of mills, barns and hay? stacks, General Sheridan exclaimed to Bismarck: "Count, I can comparo this fight only to my great battles iu tho Shenandoah Valley." Tho French General Ulrich, in com? mand at Strasbourg, is of German de? scent, and tho beseiging Gorman Gene? ral Berger is of French descent. A Boston journal says decoration day with the ladies is nil the year round.

Telford, Missionary in China, now visiting his homo in Pennsylvania.] WAsmsoTON, PENN. DEAR Sins: During a residence of some ten years as a missionary in Siam and China, I found your Vegetable Pain Killer a most valu? able remedy for that fearful scourge, Cholera. In administering the medicine, I found it most effectual to give a teaspoonful of Pain Killer in a gill of hot water, sweetened with sugar; then, after about fifteen minutes, begins to givo about a teaspoonful of tho same ??ix-j lure every few minutes until relief waa ob? tained. Apply hot applications to thc extremi? ties. But ho t he stomach with tho Pain Killer, cloar, and rub the limbs briskly. Of those who had tho Cholera, and took the medicine faithfully in the way stated above, eight out ] of ten recovered. Truly yours, R. TELFORD. If attacked with tho Diarrhea, Dysentery, Cramp, Colic, don't delay uso of PAIN KIM.EH. Foxocnow, CHINA. DEAR Sins: During a long residence in Chi? na, I have used your invaluable Pain Killer, both in my own "family and among the Chi? nese, and'have fouud it a most excellent me? dicine. In tho summer of 1363 and CH, while residing in Shanghai, I found it an almost certain euro for Cholera, if used in time. In? deed, using it in a great many instances, I do j not remember failing in a single case. For three years, I have been residing in this place, moro than fifty mileB from a physician, and have been obliged often to fall upon my own resources in case of sickness, 'ibo Chinese como to us in groat numbers for medicine and advice. Though without medical knowledge ourselves, the few simple remedies wc can command are so much in advance even of I their phvsicians, that wc havo uhnont daily applications. We allow them to como, because it brings us in contact with them, and opens a door of usefulness. In diarrhrea, colic, vo? miting, cholera, coughs, etc., your Pain Killer has been mv chief medicine, yours very trulv, T. P. CRAWFORD."
