Commonly Called The Hook of Kurus Relic—
mo:h the Bullock.
CHAR VII
1. And it eauie tu pass in those days
that when Rufus Behemoth, surnamed the
Bullock; the king, saw,like Ichabodof old,
th t his glory had departed, that liul'iu Be
hemoth, suruamed the Bullock, the king,
bethought unto himself that he would also
depart.
2. And Rufus Bch unoth, surnamed the
Bollock, the king, c.llcd the servants of
his household about him
id. And he commanded his servmts, say
ing. ‘ Gather up, I command you. all my
gul l and my silver and tny p'ate, and my
scrip an J my greenbacks, and alio! my
ho isehuld valuables. I hat I may r move
them t>a place ol sifety, fir ihe day ol
wrath is surely at hand.”
•I And he commanded them further,
saying: -‘Gather up also a few bags full of
bauds, that I may also take them with me,
and peradveature I may be able to dcvel-
ope a small resource with them whither I
fi. And thou did the king’s servants
gather up the gold, and the silver, aud the
plate, and the scrip, and the greenbacks,
and all the household valuables which the
kiug had stolen lroni the people of the land
ol Georgia.
G And they also gathered together a few
bags ol'State Ronds, that the king might
have something wherewith to develope any
little resource that th * king might chance
to discover in the land whither the king
journeyed.
7. And the king’s servantsdid also gath
er up everything of value that the king
eould carry with him.
S. But as for the king’s twenty thous
and dollar barn which the king had built
with his stolen wealth, that they coaid not
gather uplnor carry away, but it remains to
this day a magnificent monument to the
most magnificent scoundrel, that ever de
frauded and oppiesscJ a people.
9. And it came to pass that when the ser
vants of the king had made an end of gath
ering up the stolen goods of the king, and
all things were re idy far the departure of
the king, that the king was grieve! and
moved.
10. Andthe kiug wentup into his cham
ber, even iut'o his wife’s chamber, and he
wept.
11. And as he wept, he blubbered, and
said, “sic transit gloria fungi.
12. Then was the king’s wife angered,
for the king’s wife thought that the k
was drunk again.
13. And then did the king’s wife open
her month, and she saide -‘Rufe git off
that sofer, and hush up your drunken
gab.’
14. And the king 1 joked upon his wife
with a sorrowing countenance and he spake
again.
15. Saying, ‘ Ilush you tool that's Lat-
37. So that in the event this damned
little Hargrove, and McOalia gets after me
I cou'jtaml secure bo ind thy executive
c'emucy, for who can dare to touch whom
the kiug hath pardoned?”
38 Aud the king said:“Yea Foster thou
art a c aming rogue, aud thy precaution is
wise. I will sign this pardon.’
39. Then did the king affix his signature
aud the seal of his royalty to the pardon,
aud also to a uuuiber of blank pardons,
that, the friends of the king might not suf
fer from the wrath to come.
40. Aud after the king had made an end
of signing the hlaLks, he gathered up his
household goods aod departed from the
laud of Georgia.
41. Aud as soon as it' became known
abroad that the king bad departed from
the land cl Georgia, great was the rejocing
of the people thereof.
42. Rut as for the rogues and thieves
who had fattened oif of the corruption of
the king.grcat was their consternation.
43. And they gatherid together in little
groups all ’over the city, and shook their
heads in trouble and in fear.
41. For they said one to another “If the
Kiugjisnot able to abide the wrath to come,
who can.”
45. And then did they take council
amoug themselves, each little set with its
own kiud, and seeing that the day of wrath
was at baud they turneU their bands against
each other—one set against the other set.
4G. And then vus the old saying veri
fied that “when thieves fall out honest men
get their dues,” for one set informed upon
another set—one rogue told upon another
rogue until the whole gang of the King’s
thieves and rogues were clamoring against
each other.
Rome, Ga.., Sept. 29 1S71.
To the Citizens of Rome :
If there ever was a time io the history
of Rome, when it was more important than
at any other time for all the citizens to be
united, that time is now. The crisis is
upon us, selfishness, petty prejudices, and
divisions should be ignored, and not al
lowed to have an abiding place among us,
for we cannot afford to nourish, and culti
vate them, if any such should exist, for
they will breed mischief to all, and will
surely rebound back upon those harboring
them sooner or later, th re is no good in
them.
It is to our rnutuil interest, to be united
upon all questions cal ulated to promote
the interest of the City, and the county, in
which we live. Some are doing their duty,
while some are uot. Some havedone much
and at the same time, they are in the habit
of doing something that counterbalances
all the uood they have done, or nearly so.
They and some others are pursneing a
course that does great injustice to our
city, and especially to several classes ol
St. Louis flour, for the simple reason it is
our duty and our interest to support our
own mills. They bring trade and increase
our population, give character to the city,
at Home and abroad. The St. Lonis mills
do not, for similar reasons we should be
willing to pay more to all of our enterpri
ses, for in so doing we will be protecting
our interest. We pay Northerners large
sums annually in the way of eusuraoce to
protect us from losses. Those interprLes
mentioned above, are to a certain degree
insurance companies, for if we do not
sustain them, and let them go down or pick
up and go somewhere else, our interest
will go down with them. They will secure
us from loss, if we will do our duty, it is
all they ask, and they have a right to ex
pect it. Their proprietors are our fellow
citizens, we should all help each other,
sympothisc with cace other in adversity
and rejoice iu each others prosperity, aud
let good will flow freely from breast to
breast, which would make us a power in
the laud, aod multitudes woull seek homes
in our midst, and we will move forward
from one success to another..
The grading of the North and South,
and Memphis Branch Roads, will be com
menced in a few da} s. Shall we go a few
mile« and stop and look back, or shall we
pressforward to Columbus, aod Decature?
These are questions for you to answer, they
involve the destiny of our city, and our in
terest. There will be no necessity of stop-
ing, if we will do our duty. We have put
our hands to the plow, we must not look
back, -we cannot build those roads within
ourselves, but we must first help ourselves
aud then help will come and do the rest.
Those of you that have not done any
thing as yet, come aloug aod help to the
extent of your ability, it is your duty, it is
expected of you, do what you can, if it is
butlittle; a little sometimes helps wonder
fully, it helps makes heavy burthens light
er, rough places smoother, and crooked
places straighter, let us have it, we need
it; but if you are disposed to stand aloof
isolated t«l alone, do so. We will wa;
no war against you, nor call you any hard
name, but we will still entertain for you
the kindest of feelings, aud cherish a
hope that you will ere long enroll your
names as stock ho'dcri. “So mote it be.”
Io justice to the merchants manu
factures &c., I will state that l have no
pecuniary interest in any of those enter
prises, nor was I solicited to write the
above by any one.

Arrest of the Assassin.
THE :n'OKTH CAROLINA Kl _KLUX
PRISONERS.
The outrage ius oppression and wrong
infleted upon these men by the miserable
creature, Judge Bond, under the name and
with the semblance, ought to excite io the
breast of every American citizen, feelings
of the deepest abhoraoce and indignation.

16. And then was the king’s wife struck
dumb with astonishment, so tiiat she could
not reply to the words of the king, for she
marveled much at the strange tongue of
the king.
17. And then did the king continue to
speak, saying: “Oh my kingly palace, I
lore ye for thy portals are portals of grease
13. And oh thou lordly halls of the Op
era House, I love ye, for every brick in
your walls was a dollar in my pocket.
19. And tliou oh Hi Kimball House, I
love thee too, for the recollection of thy
building, is fragrant with gain.
20. But thou oh accursed Barn I hate
thee, because I cannot carry thee away.”
21. And when the king had uttered his
lamentations, he arose from his back and
wiped his eyes.
22. And straightway thij king went forth
to his council chamber, and called for his
chief servant Benjamin.
23. And when Benjamin, the king’s
chief servant, came into the presence of
the king, then did the king say unto him.
24. Benjamin, my servant, thou hast
been faithful in many little things, may I
trust thee in big ones?’
25. But Benjamin being a man of far-
seeing vision, and knowing that tho day
ol wrath was surely coming, shook his head
solemnly and said: “I can’t see it.”
26. Then was the king’s countenance
sad, for the king loved Benjamin.
27. And the king said, “Send hither I
pray ye,Foster who is also a Blodgett.”
28. And straightway Foster who was al
so a Blodgett, wasbrought into the presence
of the king,and the king fell upon his neck
and embraced him, saying: “Foster then
knowest how it is yourself.”
29. Then did Foster who wa3 also a
Blodgett, answer the king, saying: “Yea
my lord I know.”
30. And the king spake again, and said:
“The jig is np, the day of wrath most sure
ly eommeth. and I may not abide it. Hclp-
eth thou me to depart in peace?”
31. Then was the bowels of Foster who
was also a Blodgett moved with compassion
for the king, and he answered the king say-
32. “I am thy servant, do with me as
thou wilt.”
33. Then did tho king reach forth his
hand and give unto Foster who was also
a Blodgett, his signet snd the great seal of
the State of the land of Georgia.
34. And he said unto him, “Thus do I
invest ye with my authority whatsoever
you sigaest in my name, that will be law
for I go hence to escape the wrath that is
, to come.”
35. Aod Foster who was also a Blodgett
received the signet of the king, and also the
great seal of the State of Georgia, and he
said to the king:
39. “Before thou goeBt, I pray thee my
lord the king to sign me a pardon for all
the offences that I have committed against
the law, eveffis'ithon pardoned Varay Gar-
kUl.
vested all their capital here, and are de
voting their time, and energies in build
up their interest which is building up
our city, and also developing our resonr-
ses.
I allude to the practice of their sending
to New York, and other Cities, and some
times, even to Atlanta for goods and other
things that they can always get here and
on just as good terms as there, and often
fer less money, to say nothing of the time
and trouble in sending. Now this is all
wrong, and not as it shou'd be, it is a
suicidal course, it is a cat throat business.
We arc un ler mutual obligations to buy
our goods from our own merchants. They
have large and well selected stocks, it is to
our interest, they should sell them; the
more the better for us. Buy flour from
our mills, they make as good flour, as is
made any where else. It is to our inter
est, they should find a ready market for
all they can make, for it. wili enable them
to pay good prices for all the wheat brought
to this market, which will induce farmers to
come herewith their wheat from all the
counties in Cherokee Georgia, and Ala
bama, who will ..pend a goodly portion of
their money for family supplies, with oar
merchants, and Manufacturing establish
ments.
Buy our stoves and hollow ware from
our stove factories. They make as good
as can be found in any market. Onr nails,
irou, buggies, wagons, furniture doors,
blinds, sashes, kc., from our own mann
factoring establishments, They are giv
ing our city character, aod a good name
abroad. Patronize our presses, have our
job work done bore, encourage our printers
and get more to come, they have to be
clothed aod fed like other meo, the more
the better for us.
Get our merchant tailors to cut and
make onr clothing, instead of sending to
New York or Boston to have it done.
They wili do the cutting, and have them
made as well here as it can be done there,
and will employ seamstresses who live in
our community, and who are anxious to
get work to make an honest living by
their own industry, and who will spend all
they make for the necessaries of life. The
money will find its way back to us in some
way, and benefit our city; but if we per
sue a different course, the money will go to
Now York, where it will do us nor the
city any good, and will briug Northern
women in competition with our own, is
this right?
Send our children to our Colleges aud
Schools, they are Inllv equal to the tmer-
gency, and will keep peace with it, and
willgive character and tone to our city.
They will bring hundreds of children;
their parents and friends here who will
contribute largely to the building np of
of onr city and tho interest of her citizens,
think of these things before sending else
where.
In a word patronize our own merchants,
manufacturing cstablishmons schools &c.,
even if we should havo to pay them a frac
tion more, it will come back two fold to
us. For instance if we should have to
pay our merchants a fraction more than we
would have to pay in Atlanta, (which we
will not have to do,) for goods,we onght to
do so, for when we buy of tho former, we
bay from oar friends, and the profits goes
to building up of oar city, and onr inter
ests, bat when we buy of the latter, we buy of
those who apply tho profits to polling onr
city down, and onr inteiest with it. We
should not hesitate to pay a fraction more
for flour ground at onr own mills, if it were
charged than we would have to pay for the
fore a rabel, clothed with the authority
of law, and upon the testim ony of a set of
perjured wretches, are convicted and sen-
tenc, d to the penitentiary for the veryest
shadow of crime.
Many of these unfortunate victims of
judicial outrage, have families who are de
pendent upon them for their snpoort, and
the ontrage wili fall upon them with pecu
liar severity.
In view of this we would suggest the
propriety of the Southern people, raising
a relief fund for the benefit of the families
of toe sufferers. It would not only be a
noble charity, but it is a duly we owe to
them, for the outrage inflicted upon these
men, is an outrage upon the whole South
ern people. Who will put the ball in mo
tion? The small snm of 25 cents from
each sympathising frieud would relieve their
distress. Is there any too poor to contri
bute that.

Col. D. M. Nelson returned to this city
at an early hour this morning. During the
firs' part of the day ho lay concealed, but
in the afternoon he delivered himself to
the sherriff of the county. His counsel
applied immediately to the Criminal Court
for a writ of Habeas Corpus, which was
promptly granted, and, on giving a twenty-
five thousand dollar bond for his appear
ance at the January term of the Court, he
was released. His father, Hon. T. A. R,

Mr. Editor—Dear Sir:
I promised to send yonr paper a receipt
or prescription for Hog-Cholora, which I
saw in the Baltimore Methodist, but os 1
cannot find it, please prescribe yourself if
you can and meet the demand.
Allow me to give you the following item
for yoar columns:
A little boy of Polk County, John Wil
liam Armstrong, only ten years of age, has
recently picked with h’s own hands 916
ponnds of cotton in 5 days. Of this amount
he picked 603 ponnds in three days, and
211 pounds in one day. He picked this
amount five days successively, beginning on
Monday. On Friday night it rained so
that he did not pick on Saturday. He ex
celled tho best pickers in the field, leading
the other hands who competed with him.
I visited the family—found father and
mother and all sick, and this -brave little
fellow cooking for the family. He deserves
encouragement. What boy can beat this?
Yours truly,
W. P. R.
This brave little fellow should have the
freedom of our Fair grounds extended him
daring the Fair as a public testimonial of
his honorable industry. All honor to
such as he.
We give in another place a remedy for
hog-cholora. Calomel given in the man-
ner prescribed is said to be a preventative
and a cure.

dustrious genius, as well as for the pro
ducts of honest labor. It is gotten up to en
courage and stimulate all men, women, girls
and boys to exert their skill to do some
thing towards productive industry, and
when and where properly appreciated,they
result in great good and benefit to all Mass
es and pursuits.
Some persons are under the impression
that the Fair was gotten np as a money ma
king scheme to benefit the Fair Association.
Not so! It was gotten to encourage the
productive labor of the oonolry, and so far
as the Association is concerned, every dol
lar that has been made—aod more—has
been expended to make the Fair more at
tractive and nsefnl, in hopes, as it was de
signed to.be,to benefit,tho farming and man
ufacturing interests of onr oounry. And
the Association now calls upon and invites
all to sustain their efforts, by coming
froward, and doing all they can to make
this Fair a grand success, and worthy of
the people of the Cherokee Country of
Georgia and Alabama. The Directors have
endeavored to discharge their duties; let
the people fully sustain them, and the Fair
will be interesting and instructive.

The Lagrange Reporter, no mean judge
of such matters, pays the following hand
some’ bnt merited tribute to the entorpsise,
and worth of Mr. J. H. Estill, of the
Savannah News. To his business quali
fications he adds a genial manner, and
gentlemanly courtesy, that gives to his so
ciety a pleasing charm.
A Thorough Newspaper Han.
The proprietor of the Savannah Macs,
Mr. J- H. Estill, is quite ayonng man;
bnt as a newspaper publisher, he is, per
haps, the most enterprising in the Stite.
We have understood that he took control
of the News, soon after the war, when its
prosyects were very gloomy, and almost
without capital, bnt with a great deal of
energy and business tact, ho has placed the
News on a substantial and solid footing,
and its prosperity is not surpassed by any
paper in the South. Indeed, we are inform
ed ‘hat the office has become one of mam
moth proportions, prepared to do book and
job printing on the most extensive scale.
Lithographing has lately been introduced
into the estaclishmeut; aud it is intended
to make the News office the best in the
State*
Mr. Estill is a practical printer; this, of
itself, is perhaps the greatest element of
his success, coupled with thorough business
tact and a propper appreciation of what
constitutes real newspaper enterprise. With
these qualifications, natural and acquir
ed, it is not strange that Mr Estill has
succeeded so well. Such vouog men de
serve the esteem and confidence of the pub

A NEGRO SHOOTS
AND TERRIBLE VENGENCE.
From a gentleman who has just returned

The Fair is near at hand, for the Chero
kee Country of Georgia and Alabama, and
the inquiry is, “What kind of a Fair will
it be this year?” All wo can say is, “the
Directors have labored bard to make it
fine Fair, by holding ont every indneement
to the farmers, mechanics, manufacturers,
as well as to all others engaged in other
pursuits. And also to the ladies', to come
to the Fair with the articles of their res
pective vocations.”
And it must be a fine Fair. The people
most know this, that the Directors cannot
make a Fair within themselves. All they
can do, is to have the grounds in order for
the Fair, and to make np the Premiums for
Exhibitors, so as to indace all to bring up
something to exhibit, as such. All mnst
come and bring something to be exhibited;
and when that is done, all will agree and
say, “it has been a fine Fair!”
Bring Horses, mares and colts; Bolls,
cows, yearliogs and calves; Sheep, Goats,
Hogs and pigs, snd poultry of all kinds.
Bring every thing that is raised, on the
farm and in the garden! Bring Demestio
fabrics of all kinds; in a word, anything
and everything that is made by human skill
and labor; so as it ean be seen what the
people of the Cherokee Country ean do and
are doing.
The Manufacturers of implimenta and
machinery of all kinds will send their things,
besides, other things will be sent, whioh we
know nothing abont until they reach the
Fair Grounds. For Fain are. becoming
popular institutions, as ail who wish to send
what they have to exhitic, send it to the
Fairs, and all who wish to see the progress
that is made in every department of human
pursuits and oenpationi, go to the Fain to
see. The Fairs are now becoming the

horse, and armed with a double-barreled
gun, went to the negro quarters of Mr.
Nichols, where he found Bradly, who was
cursing and swearing, saying he had done
exactly wbat he wanted to do. Mr. Payne
passed ronnd the honse and came face to
face with Bradley, when he discharged one
load of buckshot into his breast. Bradley
tamed- to run, when a second discharge took
effect in the back of his head, tearing off
the skull cap and causing instaut death.
Mr. Nichols lingered in great agony of
pain until Fiiday morning, when he died.
He was esteemed very highly by all who
knew him as one of ti e most honorable
gentlemeu living in that portion of the
State. So far there was no cause to show
why the negro should shoot him. He was
quietly sitting, at the time, on the steps of a
negro house, smoking after dinner—the
hands pitparing to go to their work,
altercation bad taken place, and no words
whatsoever ; in fact.Mr. Ni -hols was giv'

Mr. Editor.
It was my good fortune to attend public
service at the Methodist chnrch on Sunday
last and listen to a sermon, preached by
the beloved Pastor of the chnrch, from a
text in Ephesians 2d cn. x ver., “For
we are his workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus nnto good works, which God hath
before ordained that we should walk in
them.” The text was chosen, I presum',
aod the discourse directed in view ter
administration of the, Lord's Supper, which
followed. It was a matter of serious regret,
with me that the congregation was not ten
times as large, although there was a very
well filled house, which gave a high appre
ciatiou of Bro. Cook’s discourse by it
marked attention to his ably assumed
premises, and elaborate deductions.
It is not my purpose, however, to enlo-,
gize the gifts, and powers of the preacher,
as it is to offer a well merited compliment
Whiteman swift j 0 the members of the Choir for the rapid
advancement tney are making in their
laudible engagement. F.-r the touching
manner in which they rendered their intro
ductory piece, “The Homo of the Soul,”
they certainly merit the highest meed of
praise, executed as it was, in a style
creditable to a mach older class. It is a
noticable fact that some members of the
Choir, both male, and female possess voices
of rare compass, and exquisite melody, and
I feel au assurance that the grandest suc
cess must ultimately crown their effort to
elevate the standard of chnrch music to a
higher proficiency. Senex.
Mr
get his father to put aside his gun.
Nichols was unarmed and was sittin,
down when the negro fired, and ’the load
’of ' duckshot lodged just under the arm
pit of the right arm, causing a terrible
wonnd.
Mr. Nichois was a general favor'te among
the negroes in the neighborhood as bein^
a jast man, and one nnder whom they liked
to work. Then an Bradley bad lived with
him for two years, and although a desper
ate character, had uniformly gotten along
very well with Mr, Nichols, and always
showed a willingness to work, and in fact,
was more ur-der his infin: ace than any one
else. Bradley’s repntition was very bad.
beirg noted as a housebreaker and des
perate character. He bad gone on the
Snnday previous to a negro church, cursed
the preacher and congregation, and break
ing up the meeting. The negroes refused
to bnry him, and bis body remained on
the fpot rhere he fell for two days, when
Mr. Payne bad it removed and intered.
The old negro who was the preacher for
the neighborhood positively refused to give
him the rites of a Christian bnrial. Mr
Nichols leaves a wife and several children
the youngest only some two weeks old.
He was well known by the merchants o
Mobile, and had the repntation of being
one of tnc solid men of the State. Mr.
Payne is a young planter, and is said to
be quite popular iu the country, and espe
cially with the negroes.
When last heard from the negroes in
the settlement seemed to be qniet, and
showed no vindictiveness, and the whites
apprehended no trouble, unless the negroes
areincited by a number of Northern adven
tnrers who have control of them, and who
might seek to make this, the pretext for
getting np a political excitement.
The mnrder was one of the most diabol
ical and cold-blooded which has lately
come to onr notice. The just retribution
was equally swift and terrible.

FIRE IN TOLBOTTON.
Five Stores, Masonic Hall, Good Tenplara
Hall, Hotel and two Printing Offices
Destroyed.
From a private letter reoeived in this
eity from Talbotton yosterday, we have the
partienlan of a disastrous fire that occurred
in that town, on Thursday morning the 28th
insL abont two o’clock.—The fire originated
in a negro eabin in rear of thr Hotel
Beforo efficient aid had arrived at the
scene of desolation, the flames had so ftr ad-
vaneed, as to render the saving of the Hottel
an impossibility The Hotel and the entire
biook on whioh stood the Masonio Hall,
Good Templars, the Standard, and Young
America printing offioes, the Drag Store of
Dr. F. J. Wells Dry goons Store, owned by
G. Dennis Brothera, Mrs. M. E. Leonard
Millinery Establishment, D. O. Gorman’a
Family Grocery and W. H Martin’s honse
Famishing Establishment. Most of the
goods were saved, with the exception of
those of G. W. Martin; whose loss is very
heavy. No iosnranee. The material of
the printing offices were all lost. The
Hotel building was owned by Dennis Bros.
Loss estimated between 820,000 and
830,000.
“Go it old fellow,” said two idle scrape-
gnees to an honest laborer at work—
“Work away while we play—sow and we’ll
reap.” “Veiy likely, my lads,” replied the
old man ooolly; “I’m sowing hemp.”
Syracuse, Sept. 27,
Thecommitto of the Republican Conven
tion resolutions wero appointed by A. D.
White the tempoary chairman who was one
of the San Domingo Commissioners. At 9
o’clock the committee reported on credentials
and the discussion is progressing.
Later.—Regular delegation from Kings
county was admitted. Bless delegation oi
Fenton men wero exclnded. Rascoe Cong-
kling himself, with the delegates from Onei
da county, was admitted. Committe report
ed in favor of admitting both delegations
from New York, each to be entitled to cast
halfa vote. Minority reporo favored the ad
mission ot Horace Grecly delegates and was
receives with nine cheers. Cheers followed
for Grant; Conkling, and Fenton and at 9,30
the disorder continued.
Worcester, 11 p. x„ Sept. 27.
Batter was defeated on a test vote. His
delegates from the 6th Boston ward wero ex
cluded by a vote of 607 to 460- The vote
was announced amid tremendous excitement
and was received with long continued cheer
ing. Such a scene was never witnessed in a
State Convention. Result is considered as
effectually disposing of Rntler.
Upon tiie announcement of the test vote
which required on hour in the coant Batler
boldly charged that over 100 delegates were
absent from lack of tickets of admission to
the hall and moved that the chairman of the
Convention be instrncted to investigate the
mattor.
Washington, Sept. 24.
Seven hundred Assistant Assessors of in
ternal revenue have been discharged since
last October, nnder the law consolidating in
ternal revenne districts. The pay of these
officials in Northern States is five dollars a
day while working, and six dollars per day in
the Southern States. By this reduction the
annnol saving to the Government is^over a
million of dollars. In other woids the Gov
ernment now confesses, that np to this time
it has been unnecessarily paying out 81,277,-
500 per annum by way of rewards to par
tisan lacqueys.
The deduction on multilatcd and worn notes
sent to the Treasury Department for redemp
tion amounts to the present date, to 8220,
484,70. This is a dear gain to the Treas
ury and a tax on circulation. It comes ont
ofthepoekes of the innoeenf holders of the
promises of the Government, and the Gov
ernment recognizing the claim os jast to a
certain extent; repudiates all above that ex
tent arbitrarily, dishonestly and tyranically.
Communicated.
Farm bands, Education, Eeonomy.
Mr. Editor.
Indulge mein a few scattering thoughts
on the signs of the times. We seem to be
grouping our way in the dark, without com
pass, sail or rudder. ’.' he great desider.
atom with mo-t laud owners, is to get a
supply of bauds; and id order to accomplish
that end asks himself the question, what
inducements shall I offer to freedmen to
cultivate my land?, a poor, old, wornout
farm perhaps. Tnis I will do, I’ll overbid
my neighbor, and get his bands, and try
another cotton crop with commercial fertil
izers, and give them half. That will cer
tainly stimulate them to make a big crop.
Besides, let them have all their lime, and
I find everything. If that wont make them
work, there is no use trying any o'her plan.
Thus we are g-iina on fro-n bad to worse.
Reason i.uelit In teach rational minds, and
experience, those, who are ri.it s-i capable
of reason. They persue the same plan that
has failed every time it his been 'tried.
If we must learn by sad experience, it
teaches that we must try some other plan.
Onr fences are rotting, houses decaying,
stock starving, lands worn out, corn-cribs
and smokehouses empty, and bnt littla to
replenish with, cotton crop short, debts ac-.
cumulating’ family expenses increasing,
and, what next; bankruptcy and rain mast
follow in the train unless there is a change
in our mode of operations. If laborers will
not work all their time, so as to keep np
the farm, do without them, and work as
much as you can with the help of your
boys. Sow as much as you can do well,
and iu proper time; sow clover and grasses,
raise stock, and let the negroes go to Africa
if they will not work according to yonr
directions. What land you cannot work,
or sow let grow up in weeds and briars if
you have no sheep to keep them down,
rather than employ laborers at ruinous
terms, both to yourselves aud them.
The time is coming, onght to come,
when scientific farming will be the rule
and not the exception; when your sons
will not be ashamed to be called farmers.
A training on the farm will constitnte a
part of their education, and supply them
with means to acquire science. And if they
should be so fortunate as to secure Colleg
iate advantages, and be qualified to fill im
portant stations, they will understand some
thing more of the foundation upon which
all avocations rest; and when those of riper
years, and more enlarged experience speak
of the signs of the times, and tokens of evil,
they will not denounce them as “Old Croak
ers.”
What is onr status? No money and bnt
little to sell that will bring any, and the
little that may be obtained must gu to
the merchant for goods, He pays it to the
New York Merchant, scarcely leaving
enough profit to support him, and pay his
city tax. The New Yorker pays it to the
Manufacturer. And where are the facto
ries that receive the Sonthcrn patronage?
Rhode-Island and Massachusetts—two of
our most bitter eDcmies. By our policy, or
the waDt of policy we make them rich and
ourselves poor. Commit Suicide! Oh that
some power would stop this mania for fash
ion, and teach us to be content to live ac
cording to our means, make home supplies
and manufacture for ourselves. Dont feel
dependant on the Yankee, or negro, or any
body else while yon have health. If labor
ersare willing to work at fair prices, hire
them, and treat them justly, bnt never let
yonr hireling have both ends ol the string.
Cause him to work under yonr directions,
and never snfier him to absent himself
without your consent. I venture these sug
gestions even at the risk of being called
“old croaker” by some of the jnvoniles.

A citizen of Milwaukee has discovered in
that city a small boy of five years who is an
inveterate smoker, and has been snch for three
years and nine months. When thirteen
months old he cried for his father’s pipe and
was allowed to take one whiff, it made him
desperately til but it did not cure him and
now he will smoke a pipe or a segar and blow
a cload as unconcernedly as the father who
tangh him-
Old Deacon Sharp never told a lit; bnt
he used to relate this: He was standing
one day before a frog pond and saw a
Urge garter snake make an attack upon an
enormous bullfrog. The snrke seized on
the frog’s bind legs and the frog, to be on a
par with his snake ship, caught him by the
tail, and both commenced swallowing one
another, and continued this carnivorous op
eration until nothing was left of them.
