MASONRY.
BY W. C. CAI'ERS.
[Our readers will sliaro our pleasure nt the perusal of
these vigorous and beautiful lines.—Ed. Aui.Fr.]
Three thousand years have rolled away
Upon the tide of time,
.Since Masonry began her march
Os noble deeds sublime.
And tbo’ the angry storms of war
Have swept the earth with fire ;
Her temple stands unscathed, unhurt,
With sought on its spire.
05 J Empire*, long the praise of men, . . .
Have faded from the earth ;
hfngs, with their thrones, have passed away,
."since .Masonry had birth.
The sceptred monarch in bis pride,
lias long since mot his doom ;
And nought is left of bis domains,
But solitude and gloom.
Proud Egypt, with her wondrous arts —
iler mysteries of old,
lias slept beneath the tide of time.
As swift his current rolled.
Ami Greece, with all her ancient wealth
i if getiiusutid of fame,
h-earve holds ainid the nations now,
The honor of a name.
The glittering towers of Troy, to which
The.foes of Priain ramr,
To meet a welcome for their deeds
F oin lips of Spartan fame :
Have long siuce toppled from their base.
And maiihLred to decay ;
The glory of that mighty race,
With them has parsed away.
Aiaid the ravages that swept ,
The Cities of the plain—
’.Mid ‘'rumbling of im|>erial thrones —
Too full ot tower and sane ;
Fair .Masonry has still survived
The nations’ horrid doom ;
A ntcja ’mid the night of years,
To gild the elouiis of gloom.
• Thro’ every age, sum bigotry
H ss sought to crush her form ;
But. unsubdued,she bravely met
The tempest and the storm.
The elouds of perseeution fled
Before her steady ray,
As shades of deepest night before
The orient orb of day.
From oriental dimes she home,
To bless this Western World;
And rM her tempi* ’neoth the flag
That, Liberty unfurled.
Fair Freedom welcomed to our shores
This staid of heavenly birth ;
While thousands of our bumble poor
Now own her generous worth.
Ten thousand widows in tlieir weeds
Hare blest her advent here ;
And many a homeless orphan’s heurt .-
I ias owned her tender care.
Full many a frail and erring sou,
To oiseipation given.
Has heard her warning voice, ar.d turned
Uis wayward thoughts to Heaven.
Long may her beauteous temple stand,
To light this darken’d sphere;
To gild (he gloom of error’s night,
And drr the falling toar.
And when the final wiuds of time
Shall sweep this reeling ball,
Oh, may its glittering spires be
The last on earth to full!

row cornfield. Along the farther edge of the
field ran a rivulet. The road passed by the
court-house through the belt of forest, and across
the centre of the cornfield, and finallly lost it
self in the woods beyond, from which the enemy
were to emerge. On the morning of the 16th !
of March, 1781, the drums beat their reveille
early, and Greene drew up his men in thre
lines on this secluded spot, which before night
was to be strewed with the dead. Along the
edge of the piece of wood, behind the fence and
facing the cornfield, ho placed the North Caro
lina militia. In the wood, about fifty rods in
the rear, he stationed the Virginia militia, un
der Stevens and Lawson; both of these lines
extended across the road. Four hnndred
yards behind these, on the hill around the
court-house, were ranged the brave conti
nentials, commanded by Green in person. Two
roads leading away from the court-house, in
the rear, furnished a secure retreat. Thus
strongly posted,with Lee’s legion and some in
fantry covering the left flank, and Washington’s
heavy mounted dragoons on the right, he await
ed the approach of the enemy.
“It was a clear, bright day as ever blessed the
earth ; the bracing air just stirred the tree-tops
over the soldiers’ heads, and all was beautiful
and spring like. Early in the forenoon scouts
returned with the news that the British weroad
vancing, and that gallant, army stood to arms
and looted long and eagerly down the road along
which they were to come. Noon came and still
the forest was silent and slumberous... But at
length, about one o’clock, strains of martial music
were heard in thedistance, struggling up from the
tree-tops, and soon the sharp rattle of the
drum, and the shrill tones of the fife and horn
broke with startling distinctness on the ear, and
then the head of the column began slowly to
emerge into view. Two pieces of artillery un
der Singleton had been advanced along the
road, and now opened upon the approaching
inass. Cornwallis immediately brought forward
his artillery, and a fierce cannonade commenced.
Under cover of the smoke of his guns, he push
ed his columns aeros; the brook into the
cornfield, where deploying rapidly to the right
and left, they termed in order of battle. Rely
ing on the discipline of his troops, he formed
them into a single line, without any reserve, re
solved by one terrible onset, to sweep the field.
The Carolina militia looked in terror over the
field before them, red with the scarlet uniforms.
The steady tread of the advancing batallions,
the long lines of light made by the glittering
bayonet* over their beads, the banners floating
in the breeze, and the loud strains of martial
music, drowned ever and anon by the roar of
cannon, conspired to render it a scene that might
awe even more veteran hearts.
’ “On, on they came, with the terrible front of
battle, unchecked by the distant random shots
<->f some of the militia, until they approached
within a few rods, when they halted, and at the
word of command poured iu a simultaneous vol
ley—the* throwing their bayonets forward, rush
ed, with loud shouts, to tne charge. The poor
militia frightened half out of their senses, by this
sudden and awful onset, forgot, many of them,
to fire at all, and dropping their guns, knap
sacks, canteens, and everything, took to their
heels like a flock of sheep. Greene had not cal
culated on their firing more than four or five
rounds ; but this was dastardly. Their officers
strove bravely to rally them, seizing those near
est with their hands, entreating and threatening
by turns, while Lee spurred amongthein with his
drawn sabre, swearing he would ride them down
with his terrible legion if they did not halt. It
was all in vain, utter terror had seized them ;
and they swarmed in affright through the woods
back to the second line. The Virginians un
touched by the pauic, taunted them as they fled
through, and rali<-d ou them as cowards and
poltroons ; then bravely turned to meet the
shock. Stevens had taken care his militia
should not serve him as they did at. Camden, and
posted forty riflemen in the rear, with orders
to shoot down the first man who attempted to
run. •
“The British elated by their success, sent up
a loud huzza, and pressed furiously forward up
on the second line. In a moment the woods
were red with the scarlet uniforms as they swept
in one broad wave, up to the Virginians ; but a
deadly volley received them, aud huge gaps open
ed in their files. Unable to stand the galling fire,
they spjang forward with the bayonet, and with
levelled piece* and steady front, moved against
the undisciplined militia-—but not a rank brolce,
not a batallion fled. Opposing steel to steel,
and in the intervals pouring in their rapid vol
leys, they held for • long time, the whole Brit
ish army in qfieck. At length however forced
back by superior number*, the right wiag still
hanging together, swung slowly round, on the
aßutaeus on m pivot, ontjl it reached the road
then broke and fled Thu deft wing, in the
woods, Ott the opposite side of the road, still main
taioed the combat. Greene, now seeing that
the battle wg§lo he thrown upon him—as that
part of the British array opposed to the routed
right wing, following up their victory emerged
into view—rode along the lines, telling the sol-
i § . ..
“Prove all thing*; hold fast that which is good.”
GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 5, 1855.
with such fury that they shivered it in pieces at
one fell blow ; and then without taking any
time to breathe, rushed on the others. The con
flict hero became dreadful. That brave regi
ment disdaing to fly, bore up against the over
! whelming numbers that increased as it advanc
ed, and was still maintaining its ground, when
Washingloii seeing how hard beset it was, order
ed the bugles to sound, and the next moment the
ground shook under the steady gallop of his
squadron, as with shaking sahresand loud shouts
they burst ou tho enemy. Iu vain did those
veterians close up their ranks to meet the
shock, and surround themselves with a gir
dle of steel—in vain did their officers shout:
“Be steady and firm over and through
everything went the fierce riders, trampling
them down like grass. Stuart, who led them
on, strove manfully locally them to the charge,
and as he moved about in the tumult, came up
on C'apt Smith of those glorious Marylanders,
and sprang fiercely upon him. The latter par
rying the Englishman's small sword with his
left baud brought down his heavy sabre on his
head w ith such force that he cleaved him to
the spine. The next moment stunned by a mus
ket-bail, though not killed, he fell on his antag
onist. Scarcely had he touched the body, before
the soldier who had fired the shot also fell across
him. Nothing could now stay the excited’
Americans; Washington’s cavalry plunged amid
the disordered guards, striking them down with
their sabres at every step. The battle seemed
won ; and Cornwallis who saw tho route of his
guards spurred towards them. Washington be
holding him, pointed forward with his sword,
and shouted to his men to follow. Press
ing close after him, they dashed onward,
aud the great prize was almost within their
grasp, when Washington’s cap falling from his
head, he dismounted to pick it up. At the same
moment the officer at the Jiead of the column
shot through the body, reeled in Iris saddle;
while his horse, now unmanageable, turned
and carried him off the field. The squadron
seeing one leader down and the other riding
away, thought a retreat had been sounded, and
wheeled after the latter. In a moment, howev
er, Washington caine galloping up and with a
loud voice, arrested their retreat, aud again led”
them to the charge. But Cornwallis had retired,
and Washington again fell upon the guards, break
ing to pieces every formation, and riding down ev
ery incipient square. The British commander saw
at a glance that this route of the guards must
be arrested or the whole army ruined ; and hast
ening to his artillery-that crowned a slight em
inence, he ordered it to open on the driving
mass. ‘Stop’ said one of the leaders of that
broken baud, who had been horn back dread
fully wounded from ilie tight, you will de
stroy your own men.’ ‘We must do iff
replied Corn wain ii, To save ourselves from
destruction.’ Tho flying guards were now
mingled up with tlieir pursuers, so complete
ly, that every shot aimed at the latter would
strike them also. But stern necessity required
the sacrifice and the next moment the artillery
opened like a clap of thunder, and the heavy
shot went leaving through the bleeding guards
with frightful effect. The wounded officer turn
ed away sick from the murderous spectacle, hut
Cornwallis gazed sternly on the slaughter, and
still kept up that heavy fire, till half the
lion was stretched on the field. This checked
the pursuers who were compelled to retreat but
not the battle. Volleys of musketry interrupt
ed by explosions of artillery, kept the atmos
phere in an uproar ; while charging cavalry,
and shouting infantry—firm-set columns, and
broken ranks—horse* galloping riderless over
the plain, and heaps of dead combined to make
that lonely spot, and that bright afternoon, a
scene and time of thrilling interest aud terror.
“No sooner had Cornwallis cleared the field
with his artillery than the routed troops began
to rally—some behind ravines, and some in the
woods ; while those regiments yet unbroken
were moved forward. In the woods, on the left,
Lee and Campbell still maintained the fight, and
had done so from the onset, sternly refusing to
yield one inch of ground. They and their foes
were both out o’ sight, but the incessant and
fierce discharges that rung through the forest, and
the Yvounded officers and men borne constantly
back, told how close and dreadful was tho strug
gle. But no news came from Lee. The gallant
chieftain was straiuing every nerve to hold Ilia
position, ignorant of what had befallen the olhei
portions of the army. Greene, iu the meantime
could not advance with his few unbroken regi
ments on the whole British force, protected as it
was by cannon, without risking all on one haz
ardous throw. But this was the game for Corn
wallis to play, not for him; it was victory or
twin with the fotmer, and at length, by incredi
ble effort*, he succeeded in forming his line of
battle anew, and again steadily advanced. Dis
cipline had restored to him 11-Ih anwotmded
men ; while Greene atnrejed, with an anxious
eye, the few regiments on which alone he could
rely. Though burning to renew the conflict, be

Tljp Learned Oddity.
The Baltimore correspondent of the New Or
leans Picayune the following brief sketch :
of a very singular and eccentric personage whom
lie met a few evenings since :
“Uis name is Ilenry Ottomer. He was born
some fifty two years ago in Somerset county,
Pennsylvania, of German parentage. He came
to Baltimore when a hoy, and server! an appren
ticeship to a watchmaker. Working in this city
until beyond his majority, he got sick of city
life and retired to the country. Haviuga taste
for study, and with only a rude education, he ap
plied himself to books. The taste for literature
and science grew upon him, and ever since he
has lieen a laborious student Solitary and alone
he toiled day and night, until he accomplished
a thorough knowledge of Latin, Greek, French,
Spanish, Ilebre , German and several other lan
guages. This done he (retook himself to history,
the sciences <fcc., and now ranks amongst the best
scholars of the age. His present favorite study
is mathematics, and admits of but two problems
which have given him pause —these are squaring
the circle and the solution of cubic equations. —
He is an astronomer, philosopher, chemist, poet,
mechanic, mathematician, and somewhat of a
theologian. In my whole life I have never seen
such a singular personage. He lives in a small
insolated cottage apart from society. Peter the
Hermit was not so thorough a recluse, nor Dio
genes more learned. He rather eschews wom
en, lives a bachelor, lias a fine library of the clas
sics and modern literature, and is happy beyond
measure.
His expression to me was that he woul 1 not
exchange positions with the most favorite crown
ed heads of Europe, He professes no religion,
but respects all and takes the Bible- alone as bis
guide aiijr tnndard of morality.
His personal appearance is remarkably singu
lar. Scarcely a hair can be seen on his head,
which shines like a greased pumpkin. Beneath
a high intellectual forehead and a projecting
brow, is seen a small, quick, penetrating black
eye, full of character and intelligence. He never
shaves, line a fine moustache andample whiskers
with a face vivid in expression. His entire cos
tume would not sell for ten dimes, if put up at
public auction. A passer by would suppose him
a poor mendicant and be inclined to extend the
hand of charity; and yet he is comfortable in
the world’s goods—owes no man a farthing, is
independent as a king, happy as a lord. Ilis
food is literature and his delight the classics; is,
by profession, a skillful repairer of clocks ; and
after finding his funds getting low,sets out on an
expedition th rough the country on a professional
tour of clock mending.”
New Material for Buildino.— The Cin
cinnatti Gazette has been shown a “specimen
brick,” made of lime and sand, which it says
appears as thougli it would take the plaee of the
common clay brick altogether. It is very
smooth and hard. It is larger thau the common
brick, with a vacant space in the centre. The
Gazette further adds:
s We are inforined-that the materials used in
the manufacture of these bricks are simply lime
and sand the proportion being about eleven parts
sand to one part lime, and they can be manu
factured at a less cost than our common clay,
brick. The bricks can,-of course be made of any
form or shape, according to lasts. It is fully
equal to sand stone. The advantages are the
facility with which they are manufactured ;
lathing and plastering become unnecessary, and
the outside and inside of tbe wall is made at the
same time. The chemical opperation of tbe
brick hardens them so that they are not more
affected by the action of the atmosphere than
stone. Ilis not affected by frost, arid experi
ments which have beep tried to test its strength
and and other qualities have resulted satisfacto
rily. * •• -

Corn Ccltvrk.— The corn crop js now hasten
ing on rapidly, and should not tic checked in its
growth, either by neglect or injudicious manage
ment. it rarely recovers from the effects of either.
We ihink that us a general rule, deep and close
culture with the plow is yet admirable, and udvia
able. Tho roots uro spreading and need soft and
loose earth, easy of penetration, and from which
supplies of food nmy be obtained. Such plows
should be used, ns will most effectually accom
plish this object. A little soft earth should Ire
tumbled about the roots of the corn; so ns to cover
all the small ”r;i*s, and afford protection against
the increase of the summer heat, yet, we do not
think it advisable greatly to increase the depth
of earth. Com lias a wnderful felicity in send
ing ont new roots to adjust themselves to the want
of the plant, and its demands upon the sunshine.
Wide open furrows, near the foot of tho stalk, are
injurious, nor do wo think it best to hare them at
all, in tho cultivation of corn. An even surface,
or nearly so. is best, as tho roots run ahullow, and
tiro necessarily exposed in crossing a deep open
furrow. In well prepared lands, and with good
culture tip to this time if tho plows now do all
which they should, hut little will bo left to be
done with the hoe*. But there are comparatively
few plantations in auch condition ns to leave tho
work perfect, without a little help from the hoc.—
If wo have no trees, nor stumps, nor roots, nor
rocks, yet there will be bent and tangled stalks,
which would he relieved by a little attention.
Tiie t ‘in.TivATioN or Cotton The cotton crop is
now supposed to lie well started, and some work ul
rendy done in its culture. To regulate the stand and
and keep the grass is now the oldef object* of care
for if the preparations have been good, the plant
ianot yet needing much cultivation. A little work
with the plow is however, necessary, for the two
fold object of clearing and slightly stirring the
earth about the roots of the crop. It is very dif
ficult to say what plow shall now be used, as the
condition aud character of the land must deter
mine what will be best in each case. Speed, and
the destruction of the crop of young grassoow up,
are generally controlling considerations, with the
largest and best facilities which the plow may af
ford to the hoe. Great skill may he used with a
suitable plow, in making the hoe work easy, and
all this is needed for the keeping alean, and bring
ing to a stand in good time, so many acres as is
usually put in cotton. With land which is light,
and has been well bedded, and is pretty free from
stumps and rocks, the Mississippi Mumper is an ad
mirable implement. The turning plow, with the
bar next the drill, is a great favorite with the
masses while with others, nothing is like the sweep,
and now and then, we meet with an ‘old fogy,’
who holds to the scooter, plowing qptand out. Ae
we have already intimated, our is, that no
one plan shoulJ be pursued, underall circumstan
ces, but should be varied, to suit the peculiarities
of each case. It is now very generally agreed, that
for the good of the cron, it is not necessary to do
more than side the drill, in the early working of
cotton. It is important, therefore that some plow
should be used, which would cover and keep tbe
grass in check, in the middle of the row. We, sug
gest that in stiff lands, which are inclined to bake,
when the turning plow is used, that the narrow
ridge, on which the cotton stands after such a
working, should not be left long, without having
a covering of soft earth thrown hack. The wind
and the sun, without such relief, dries and bakea
it until the plant is soon checked in its growtt.
The hoes follow and sometimes precede tbe plows
reducing first to bunches, of from two to four stalks,
and as soon aa possible afterwards, proceed to
bring it to a stand, of one stalk in a place. This
is the general method of procedure, While s few
persons hold to the old notion of liringing to a stand
nt the first going over. Much care is required in
the use of tho hoe, that the plant now very tender,
may not be bruised and skiuued, and left to dwin
dle and die. In the great baste to pass over a large
space, and get over soon, much damage is done
in this way, causing bad stands, and tne cultiva
tion of a large amount of land on which no plants
are grjwing. We know of no error more com
mon. or which needs to be more guarded against
just nt this stage of tbe work. The dutnaee which
is to be given, os we liavo so often remarked, must
depend upon the character of the soil, giving to rich
land great distance, while on poor land the width
of the hoe is quite sufficient A slight interlock
ing of the branches, when the plant is at maturity,
is all that is desired.
The. Sweet Potato. —In this month, mainly,
must this crop be started. However well later
plantings, unaer favorable circumstances, may do,
our experience and observation have been decided
ly favorable to early planting. The slips not on
ly live better, but generally the product of the
crop is greater, iaise no time therefore, in bring
ing this very valuable crop forward. Let the land
be very thoroughly prepared, broken deep nod
