Blithe old bella from the s.tceplo tower.

Solemnly, slowly
Passeth the corse from the portal to day.

Drippingly over tbc plume and the pall; --

Loved old bells from the steeple high—
Rolling like holy waves,

Floating up, prayer fraught, into the sky.
Solemn the lesson your lightest notes teach:
Stern is the preaching your iron tongues preach;
Ringing in life from the bud to the bloom,
Ringing the dead to their rest in the tomh.
Peal out evermore—
Peal as ye pealed of yore,
Brave old bells, on each Sabbath day.
In sunshine and gladness.
Through clouds and through sadness,
Bridul and burial have passed away.

Tell us that death ever leadeth to Life;
Life is our labor, and Death is our rest,
If happy the Living, the Dead are the blest.
THE BRUNSWICK AND ALBANY
RAILROAD SEIZED BY THE GOV
ERNOR.
Governor Bullock has issued his Proc
lamation dated October 23d, in which he
declares that he has seized the above nam
ed Road, with all that thereto p~etaii.s in
order that laborers, contractors, and the
State may be secured lor all just debts due
trom that company. He has appointed
Col. John Scriven, President of Atlantic,
and GulfRail Road, to take charge of the
Road, and made Clifford Anderson, Ar
thur Hood, Hines Hobbs, and R. H.
Brown, Attorneys for the State in this case.
The Governor gives notice, that all Bonds
of this Rail Road Cempany, endorsed by
t* e State, and Bonds of the State ex
changed for the second mortgage Bonds of
said company, will not be recogeized as
oarrying with them any obligation upon
the State, until all valid claims against
the company shall be satisfied. Bullock,
R. H. Brown, and Hood, have gone to
New York, to investigate the matter.
New York Herald o.v Suspension of Ha
beas Corpus.—We publish to-day a some
what extensive but very interesting article
from the New York Herald upon the above
named subject. We have already published
the views of the New York Sun, a Republi
can paper. The indications are that a large
portion of the Northern people, Republicans
as well as Democrats, do not sustain the
President in this movement in South Caroli-
While the Herald is not a partizan paper
it is generally a pretty good reflector of
Northern sentiments, and catches the popu
lar current, perhaps quicker than any other
paper in the country. The article is a mild
one but emphatically in opposition to Grant’s
course.
Deatu of Hon. Robert Je.misox.—
This distinguised Alabamian died at his
residence in Tuscaloosa on the lGih iast
He commenced his career as a stage driver,
then became contractor, and thus amassed
a large fortune. For many years he was
an honored representative of this county in
both branches of the Legislature, and was
a Senator in the Confederate States Con
gress doring the war. He was prominent
not only in the political history, hut was
an active participant in every movement
calculated to build up the material pros
perity of the State.

Washington, October 13,1871
FORNEY IN TROUBLE
•John W. Forney, Colleclor of the Port
of Philadelphia, has lately been making ex
tensive purchases of furniture, and other
wise incurring heavy expenditures with
out authority ot law. On the presentation
of these bills to tl e Treasury Department
they were disallowed, aud a letter address
ed to the distinguished Col ector and can
didate for martyrlom, the language of
which Mr. Forney, “or any other man,”
conld not fail to comprehend.
WHAT GRANT PROPOSES TO DO.
The NtnI90al Republican Central Com
mittee, assisted by advice from Senators
and Representatives from the SuUth, are
manag-ug the schemes of the administra
tion for securing complete control of the
South'at the next Presidential election.
The committee boast that they have se
cured North and South Carolina, beyond
peradventure, and have fair prospects of
Virginia.
AS TO GEORG A,
they express great confidence in a scheme
whice they have just started in that State.
They claim that it will result in a complete
overthrow of the Ku-KIux Klan and the
Democratic party of the State. It is said
that Akerman’s visit to Georgia was for
the purpose of putting this scheme into
operation, and to consult with the best men
in the party as to the profei men to be
selected to fi 1 vacancies at points whtre it
is determined to remove present iucum
bents.
BYE-BYE TO TI1E B’S.
A part of the scheme contemplates the
throwing overboard of all dead-drags such
as Bullock, Blodgett, Kryzanowski, Robb
and others, who it is claimed, have brought
disgrace upon the party. In fact, it is
claimed that a revolution will be inaugura
ted among the Federal officials of the State
which will undoubtedly sweep all the
thieves and br'te-fhkers ont of official ex
istence, and their place will be filled by
honest officials, if any can be found.
THE STATE ROAD LEASE.
The scheme of Cameron, Delano, Bul
lock, ct. al, in stealing the Georgia State
Road from the people, is to be denounced j
in this Akerman is to take the lead, and
it is said he will resign the Attorney Gen
eral-ship, and canvass Georgia against the
Federal thieves and plunderers, and that
his reward shall be the Governorship of the
State, provided the Republicans can elect
him thereto. Members of the committee
are loud-mouthed iu tfeir denunciation of
the fraud and corruption practiced on the
people of Georgia, for whom they claim
the Administration has conceived an
expressible fondness, and is resolved to
protect, at all hazzards. Bullock and
Blodgett are specially denounced as the
primary cause of all the Republican troub
les in Georgia.
A COMPLIMENT TO FOSTER.
ami
Homicide.—The Eatocton Press
Messenger, of Tuesday, says:
On Tuesday eve ing last, about four
o’clock a difficulty occurred between Mr.
Marion Spivey and young Dan Claiburn,
resulting in the death of the foru er, by a
pistol shot from the hands of the latter.
It appeals that Mr. Spivey assaulted Clai
burn with abusive language and threats,
and finally picked up a rock and threw it
at him, whereupon Mr. 0. commenced
firing, and continued until be had emptied
a small six shooter, ike last two shots tak
ing feffect, producing death instantly
Chemical Engraving.—A novel mode of
engraving, essentially chemical, and by
means of which admirable impressions from
plates arc executed, has ' een invented byM.
Dulos, of Paris. In this the subject to he
oopied is first produced in lithographic ink
upon a surface of copper. The parts un
covered by the ink are then coated by what
is known ns the galvano-plastie process, after
which a solvent is employed to remove the
ink, and the copper surface thus exposed is
silvered by electricity. Mercury being then
applied to the silver, there is formed an
amalgam which presents the design in relief.
From this relief a cast is taken, after which
the remaining steps arc according to the or
dinary method. The process furnishes plates
adapted to the copper-plate press or the
letter-press, as may be desired, and the re
suits of the operation aie, in the highest de
gree, admirable specimens ot artistic en
graving.—American Newspaper Reporter.
The Republican, of this city, the ac
knowledged Administration organ, comes
down on Blodgett in the following Btyle:
‘ Foster Blodgett has got into trouble
again. Lie has been arrested on a scries
of charges, which, if true, ought to send
him to the penitentiary, a place for which
he seem9 to be entirely qualified. It is
fortunate the United States Senate has
been saved the scandal and disgrace of ad
mitting him to its membership.”
The above paragraph was written by the
political editor of the Republican, who re
ceives his inspiration directly from the
White Uouse. The opinion he expressed
as to Blodgett’s fitness for the penitentiary
can be safely counted on as the opinion of
the President. Now, what has Mr. Blod
gett to say to this? The President once
promised to help him into the Senate, but
failed to make the least effort in his behalf.
After Congress adjourned Blodgett went
home, avowed himse'fasa true Republican,
and determined to stick by the President
to the bitter eDd. Will he do so now?
GRANT S PLAN—A WARNING.
One word in regard to the President’s
proclamation, which has already b-en sent
yon by telegraph. It is the key note to
the future policy of the Administration
relative to the Southern States. Let the
people be warned. C. II. W.
To Destroy the Bee Mcth.—Mr.

TnE Ku Klux Act and Martial
Law.— The New York Tribune, speaking
as if by authority,tells us in its issue of Fri
day last what we have to expect—‘0-wit:
“The Government has acted just as 60on
as it was ready to enforce its policy, and
the rebel assassinsof Western South Caro
lina will find that martial law, which is
sure to follow their failure to obey the pres
ent order, will be rigidly enforced.”
And the times, which is a sort of Presi
dential organ, speaks as follows:
“As the law gives him power to suspend
the writ of habeas corpus, to declare the
territory defined under martial law, and
proceed to employ the army as he thinks
best, in the suppression of conspiracies such
as he now proclaims to exist the Ku Klnx
may be entirely assured that the Presi
dent means business.”
So he it. The Northern people have
authorized the President to declare mar
tial law at his will, not only in South Car
olina and Virginia, but in Massachusetts
and New York. They shall yet eat of the
fruit of the tree which themselves planted
Not one single vindictive measure has been
adopted by the Radicals for the degrada
tion and humiliation of the South which
has not already returned or will not hereaf
ter return to plague the inventors. Even
negro suffrage will yet prove to be a lash
of scorpions to Northern shoulders.—Rich
mond Dispatch.
We give the following article, and hope
that some of our subscribers mi.y be beoe-
" 2d by the hint and report to the Farmer
their success with trials of it. We have
time or means to test everything as well
we conld wish, but we are quite convinc
ed that too little is known about the value
ofoharcoaland many other useful fertilizers.
Send us reports of your success with them.
Successful experiments are valuable. We
feel sure some one of our readers will try
it on a small scale. We have tried its effect
on flowers and found it most beneficial in
brightening colors and giving a rich, green
appearance to tho foliage. But to the
article: ‘There are many instances on
record, going conclusively to demonstrate
the very high valac of charcoal as a manure
for wheat. As a stimulant, it is rendered
apparent by the most convincing and un
deniable facts. A late writer in the Lewis-
burg Chronicle, in some remarks upon this
subject, says: A few days since, in com
pany with Mr. Jacob Dorr, of East Buffalo,
I visited a spot on the land of his brother,
John Dorr, on which the excellent effects
of charcoal were plainly visible. Before
reaching the spot, I noticed the beantifnl
bright green of the wheat in the lower part
of the field, even at this season—the dead
of winter—and remarked to Mr. Dorr, that
that must be tho spot. He stated that he
had not visited ft for a number of years, but
was under the impression that it was higher
up the field. When we arrived at the spot
of beautiful bright green wheat, we found,
indeed, that it was the locality of the char
coal. In some places the soil was black
with the coal, and the wheat plants were
very large and healthy. Their appearance
was very fine, and they conld be seen from
all parts of the field, so superior were they
to those surrounding them. It appears
from the communication, that some fifty or
sixty years ago a blacksmith occupied this
spot, and near it there was a coal pit. Tnis
accounts for the presence of the coal, but
not for the continued and undiminished
fertility and surprising productiveness of
the soil enriched by it. But it is well
known to many of your readers, no doubt,
that charcoal is, in its nature, nearly inde
structible. It remains in the soil for genera
tions without scarcely any perceptible change
or alteration, and when applied in large
quantities as a stimulant of vegetable life,
acts from year to year, and even from
generation to generation, without any obvi
ously apparent diminution of energy or
effect.’—Southern Farmer.
Suicide and Life Insurance —In the
United States Circuit Court, at Hartford,
some days past, a suit was brought to re
cover from a Life Insurance Company of
Maine the amount of a policy on the life
of one Sheridan Gay,the suit being brought
by his widow. Gay shot himself on a rail
way in Connecticut in 1869, dying from
the effects of the wound.
The defendants, the Life Insurance Com
pany, on their side alleged that he deliber
ated suicide in consequence of extensive
defalcations in New York, and that as the
policy exempted suicide, the plaintiff could
not recover.
The Plaintiff, the suicide’s widow, on
her side put in a plea that her husband was
insane, and presented a number of wit
nesses who testified to his previous condi
tion.
The arguments were made by the lead
ing Hartford lawyers,and the jury brought
in a verdict awarding the full amount of
the policy, 85,000 with interest in the sum
of S757.40 additional.
The Equinoctial Storm. —Prof. E.
Loomis of Yale College, twenty years ago
reported, after a thorough examination of
the meteorological records of London and
the United States, against the common be
lief in tl e occurence of a storm at the time
of the autumnal equinox. Tho London
series extended from 1744 to 1S43. Ilia
conclusion was as follows: ‘From all these
observations. I infer that the popular
notion of an unusual fall of rain either in
Old England or New England about the
time of the autumnal equinox is wholly ur.
founded, and is akin to those superstitions
which make some particular day ‘observa
tion day’ for the entire month, or make the
fall of rain dependent on the annual meet
ing of the Quakers - ’ Mr. \Y. C. Redfield
the distinguished meteorologist, also records
that there is nothing in tho traditional
notion of a snecial connection between th-
equinox and the storms of that period

Hens in Place of Dogs.—There
hardly a family that does not throw away
enongh table scraps to feed at least half a
dozen hens, and many that keep a nuisance
in the Bhape of a dog, that does no good,
bnt costs more than a dozen good hens,
oomplain that they cannot afford to keep
henB. One dog in a neighborhood is gen
erally a greater, trouble to the neighbors
than a flock-of hen9 wonld be, for if hens'
are well fed at home they will rarely go
away. Bnt who ever saw a dog that was
not a pest, running across the newly made
garden, and sticking his nose into every
thing. Kill-off the curs and give the food
to the.hen's; and yon will find pleasure as
well as profit in so doing. We wish there
was a tax of one hundred dollars on every
dog in the country. Those that are of
value as watch dogs could be retained,
while the host of snsrlfag, dirty curs would
give place to some more useful and less
troublesome pet.—Poultry Standard.
HoSFT'Robebt Jemison, an old and for
many years a prominent politician and en
terprising man of Alabama, died in Tusca

Ashes fob. Wheat.—A correspondent of
the Rural Gentleman, in Delaware, writes
strongly in favor of ashes to prevent rust
in wheat, and from long experience has
proved them of great value. As to the
effect of ashes, he says:
Like Shakespeare’s “sherry sack,’’they
have a “three-fold] operation.”
1. The ashes operate as a manure upon
the wheat, even in the limited quantity oj
eight bnshels per acre:
2. They strengthen the stem, giving it sub
stance and solidity.
I may add one or two more properties of
the ashes: they afford j ast that kind of pab
ulum or food which is best for the develop
ment and perfection of the grain, and will,
in my opinion, also prevent the ravages of
the fly in wheat. I wonld here venture
the remark that whoever tries the experi
ment will thereafter spread his wood ashes
upon his wheat, as above indicated; ana iu
so doing he will effectually guard against
and-iprevent “the rust"-in his wheat.

The Advantage of Printing.—Mr.
B„ a well-known Metropolitan printer, once
told us that on one occasion an old woman
from the coaotry came into the printing of.
flee with an old Bible in her hand.
I want,' said she, 'that yon should print
it over again. It’s getting a little blurred,
sort of, and my eyes is not what they was.
How much do yon ax ?
‘Fifty cents.’
‘Can yon have it dene in a half an honr?
Wish you would—want to be getting home.
I live a good way out of town,’
When the old lady went oat, he sent
around to the office of the American Bible
Society, and purchased a copy for fifty
cents.
‘Lor’ sakes a massal’ exclaimed the old
lady, when she came to look at it, ‘how
good you’ve fixed it! I never see nothin
so curious as what printers is.’
Uescue Grass.—A correspondent of the
Farmer and Gardener writes as follows con
cerning the Rescue grass: ‘Sow it as you
would wheat in the fall—it will do no good
sowed in the spring. Year before last I
sowed on the Crab grass late in November
among the corn-stalks on very good land
The grass was killed by frost and was about
six inches thick on the ground after fallin
down. I sowed the Rescue on it, and in
the winter and spring it came up thick
then pulled the corn stalks down and had a
very fine crop. Cut it a little before ripe,
except two thirds of an acre left for seed
Threshed thirty two bushels of seed out of
it. I think it is, when cut in the dough
tate, the best feed a horse can have. Stock
running in the lot where Crab grass and
Rescue were stacked ate the Rescue grass
down twice before catiDgthe Crab grass.’

Death of Col. Wm. R. Manning.—
The last issue of the South Georgia Times,
says the Savannah Republican, brings us
the sad intelligence of the death of Colonel
William R. Manning, one of the most in
fluential men of Southern Georgia. He was
truly one of nature’s noblemen. With a
strong mind, well cultivated, he was looked
up to by the community in which he lived
—and his judgement, ever good, was always
founded on common sense. Warmhearted,
brave, generous and hospitable, in him the
people of his section have lost a friend, who
never in any manner deceived them. Green
grow the grass upon his grave, and ever
live the memory of his virtues in the hearts
of those who knew and loved him.
Catching a Tartar.—If there was
ever a liviflg illustration of the old saw
about caching a Tartar, that illustration
occurred in Huntsville, about ten days ago,
when the sub Ku-Klux Committee caught
Hon. W. Mi Lowe of Madison. His tes
timony (recorded in our supplement this
morning) is straight forward and manly,
and hits the sail square on the head every

The celebrated author, in this admirable essay,
clearly demonstrates from a thirty years’ suc
cessful practice,that the alarming consequences of
self-abuse may be radically cured without the
dangerous use of internal medicine or the appli
cation of the knife; pointing out a mode of cure
at once simple, certain, and effectual, by
of which every sufferer, no matter what his con
dition may be, may cure himself cheaply,privately
and radically.

every youth and every man in the land.
