A Lily that grew in a pond of water, Cliarmed with the grace of her beautiful daughter. Resolved in her mind she would give lior a hall And fit up her rooms for a dancing hall. Master Lizard made planks from a cedar tree. And the floors were all waxed by a Honey Bee— Ihe Toads from the garden made lamps with their eyes. And the house was all lighted by Fire flies. She invited Miss Rose. Mrs. Pink, and then gent cards to old friends by a beautiful Hen That had e . Id on her wings and a crown on her head. And a tail like a Japanese fan outspresd. Mi-s Lily was dressed in a robe of pure white, And looked like a silvery star of the night— Bliss Jasmine wore yellow, Miss Violet blue, The Zinnias wore dresses of every hue. The gentlemen mo-tly were dressed in ful green. And two of them walked with a ladv between. The la lies, they sa- : d. were teiutlfu! flowers. And they, the green leaves, that kept off the showers. All danced by the song of a sweet Katy-did. In he u*»-« and he leave* of an old oak hid— And drank the dew-wine front a gold Butter cup, Until daylight appeared, when the Ball broke up: Georgia Affairs. Says the Sp»rta Ishnuielite: “We learn that Mr. W. H. Bass has given up all attempts at sheep raising. The opposition of the dogs to the success of the enterprise was both vio ent and successful It is not our purpose to be personal, but this fact looks like a reflection on the Legislature.” A young gardener of Covington is gathering ripe strawberries from his garden. Tbe Covington Star warns the light-fingered that a merchant of that place has planted dyna mite t-rpedoes around his place of business, and If one of the machines is stepped on it will blow the unlucky stepper to atoms. A lady of high standing in McDuffie county informed the Thomson Journal a few days since that she ate pecau nuts gathered from a large trea now growing on the Coliins place, in Columbia county, which grew from a switch brought there from V irginia, and used by a lady as a ri ling switch on the route. The Journal thinks it is very remarkable that a twig couli be used as a riding switch tor sev eral hundred miles and then pl&uted and caused to grow and bring forth much fruit. It would not believe the story if its in formant was not one of the nicest of ladies. In Macon, lost Wednesday morning, two col ored children engaged in a fight and were hauled up in the Mayor's Court to answer for their conduct After their ca. j e had been dis posed of their respective mothers, Mary Bryant and Jennie Turner, took up the quar rel and engaged in a little war of their own The Herald says bricks were the popular weapons of warfare and flew widely in every direction, and one succeeded in coming in con tact with the head of Mary Bryant, which placed that personage in an unpleasant frame of mind. One of the viragoes was giving the other a severe beating when the police came up and arrested both belligerents. A party of three hunters went out duck hunting on th«* Flint river a few days ago, and though the birds were remorkably scarce they succeeded in bagging one hundred and nine. The Montezuma Weekly is thoroughly dis gusted. It says; “This thing is growing to be rather monotonous. Suppose we go to work for our own section and let the politics of the nation go to thunder." A few days ago one Frederick L&ible, a drug clerk of Atlanta, mj-steriously disappeared. On Wednesday last his body was found in the woods near tliat city. Tho Coroner’s jury brought in a verdict of death from unknown cause*, and though the Constitution reporter says “there was no cause assigned by the dead man for the deed," it is suspected that he com mitted suicide. Fays the Marietta Journal: “The colored people are moi% subject to consumption now than when in slavery. We hear of frequent deaths among that race from that incurable disease. All n Pittman and Sam Frazier, col ored, died Sunday, after a short illness, of con sumption. What is strau^e. both had been for a long time street laborers, both were taken down sick on the same day, and the latter died ia ten minutes after the death of the former.” The Athens Banner is of the opinion that Georgia never had a better s-t of btate House officers than she has now. It says: “Secretary Barnett. Treasurer Speer, Comptroller Wright and Attorney General Anderson are amply tlrst-class in their respective offices. No State iu tho Union is better off in this respect than Georgia. Two of tbes*- officers have l>e«*n tried-one for a long term of years and the other for only & short time - and both have fully met public expectation. With tbe other two the witter is sufficiently well acquainted to feel every assurance that their fulfilment of the trusts confided to them will be not only le gally correct hut briliicnt. Georgia is to be congratulated on such a set of officials.” Americas Sumter Republican: “A few nights since a youmr man living near the river called n a young lady and sat up wi.h her until 11 o'clock. At that tim*» he went out to the car riage house to get his buggy, when a most loathsome stench greeted hi* olfactories and he saw a negro man stretched out on the floor. He immediately rushed to the house, informed the young lady that a dead negro was in ihe carriage house, and the hou-ehold was awak ened. All hands repaired to the spot and found a negro man asleep and a hide stretched upon tlie rafters above to dry. The latter produced the unp eosunt smell and the negro the scare.” The Geneva correspondent of the Taltxitton Standard wri'os that paper as fellows: “A s *d death was the accidental drowning of the little s-»u of Mr Jos W. Perdcu on Wednesday last during the high waters in a small stream near our town. He wa- plaj ing near the edg** of the ditch when the bank gave way a»:d pre cipitated him into the sw«-lien stream. No one him at the time, but be was missed in a ? -w minutes and the signs of his fad together with his hat lodged against a bush in the water w ere discovered. Friends were near by making syrup The stream was immediately dragged and his body found some one hundred and fifty yards bedo# four or five feet under water. Johnnie wa* a bright, intelligent child, the only son and the Idol of the grief stricken parents. The sympathies of the community are with the bereaved parent* ” 8ays the Rome Bulletin: “We learn from a reliable source that there are several hundred bales of cotton on both the upper and lower end "f the Selma Rome and l’alton Railroad wait- jng for transp irtatioh to this city. This cotton lias been ’locked ur>' In this way for several w'fcvE*. and th- o vners are 1-xnng money every ! *r by tlie delav.

For several months, however, tho confidence of our citizens in their favorite water supply has been ' 'nsiderably shaken.

Nashville, November 18.—Judge Key, In the U. 8. Court' to-day, rendered a de cision in tbe cose of the fiouthem Express Company v». the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. He granted a preliminary injunction to continue until tbe further order or decree of the court restraining the railroad from imposing on or exacting from the plaintiff, in the condact of express business on tbe New Orleans, Mobile and Texas Railroad and the Western Riilroad of Alabama, any ttrms or condi tions not imposed at the time ; and from disturbing. In any way, tbe enjoyment of the Southern Express Company of facilities and means of conducting tbe express busi ness on the lines mentioned. In his decision Judge Key says : “The condact of express business is no part of the duty of railroade. Until within a recentperiod there has been In this coun try no effort ou the part of railroads to carry it on. They have been content not only to permit this business to be done over their lines by others, but have fostered It by terms allowed and opportunities given until it has grown into a distinct,separate and organized branch of general business, different in Its methods and characteristics from the natu ral and legitimate transactions of railroads. Expressage has grown Into a public neces sity. The idea cannot be entertained that a r&iiroad, directly or by indirection, can tram mel or destroy an express enterprise by excluding express companies from their lines, or by fettering them with unjust regulations or unfair discrimination*, nor can a railroad company assume to Itself the exclusive right or privilege of carrying express business over Its own lines, or any portion cf them.

Washington, November 16. —Recent outcrop pings from the remarks of leading Republicans leave no doubt but that the scheme mentioned some time since as likely to be put into opera tion by the Republican House of the next Con gress will In reality be pursued. That scheme, you wid remember, was the unseating of Democratic member* from tbe South wherever there was a chance to hang even the excuse of ■ a contest. This will be the course. Already the details of tbe plan to be pursued is a topic of converse among Republicans. Some of them say that at least eight members from Southern States will be unseated. It is also urged that the process of stealing scats be put into execution just a* soon as the next House is organized; and that the work be done promptly. Letters.

London, November 18.—The St. James Gazitte, in a leading editorial article this morning, says it is safe to affirm that there are differences in the Cabinet between tbe views of Lord Selborne, Lord High Chan cellor, who holds that the vindication of law should have priority over the redress of abeged grievances, and Mr. John Bright. Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancester, ami Mr. Joseph Chamberlain. President of tbe Board of Trade, who believe coercive meas ures unnecessary. The Pall Mail Gazelle this evening In leading editorial article says: “Unless Mr. Forcter refuses to be any longer responsible for the government of Ireland without co ercion, Instant coercion cannot be necessary. Ministers Bright and Chamberlain are right. Something i* said about Lord Selborne, Lord Chancellor. It in invidious to intro duce personal comparison?, but. if gossip be true that Lord Selborne is on one side and Mr. Bright on another, public opitiion, among the Liberals at any rate, will not be long in deciding between a statesman who was so purblind as to insist only ten years ago on the maintenance of |tlie Irish church, and a statesman who has] spoken what the Liberals of all shad jrecognlzo to be more solid wisdom about] Ireland than all his colleagues put gether. ’ THE NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

General Benet’* Scheme for an Ore zanlzatlon io be Maintained by tbe Federal Treasury. General Benet, United States Chief of Ordnance, in nis last annual report to the Secretary of War, dated October 1, devotes much space to a consideration of the propose* 1 legislation for a national militia, following up the extended rec ommendations made in his report of the year preceding. During the last session of Congress the Committee on Militia of the House of Representatives reported a bill with a report in which the history of tbe militia laws from the first action of the Continental Congress on the matter were given. By the bill the proposed militia are divided ipto two classes—the active, to be known as the national guard, and the inactive, to be known :is tbe reserve militia. Another section limits the number of the “active” militia to not more than seven hundred for each Representative or Delegate. The “inactive” militia is to consist of the remainder of tbe “able-bodied male citizens between the ages of eighteen and tort)* five,” amounting to nearly eight million men. Commenting on the ac i ion of Congress Gen. Benet says: “The end and aim of this bill is to or ganize, arm and discipline only a small portion of the able-bodied men so per fectly that the country may at all times be in possession of 200,000 citizen sol dierr, as distinguished from the regular army, but soldiers in fact, in organiza tion, in discipline, in the use of arms,and ready at a moment's call to take the field. “To do this thoroughly and effectually requires first of all a liberal appropria tion by Congress to start and give a healthy impetus to the movement. The object of this bill is simply stated by the committee in its report: ‘That if they (the States) will by their laws pro vide for and enforce such requirements as Congress deems necessary to secure an efficient militia. Congress will exer cise its unquestioned constitutional pow er. and provide for arming such militia out of the National Treasury.’ While not claiming absolute perfection for its provisions I am thoroughly convinced that such legislation will place the fight ing portion of tbe country in a condition for prompt and efficient action. This bill reaches in its effect every por tion of the country, neglects no portion, however remote or If you fe«l drow-y. debilitated, have fre quent heaiacfie.

The leaders talk now as if it had been permission to do their worst, when In reality it was a declaration that the conservative clas.-es feared Dew partisan measures and new par tisan agitation at the hands of Democracy. This they will wrongly Interpret at their peril. Hence we find a party which has accom p!I-,bed its mission, effete without ideas as to future progress—unless they be wrong ideas—entering upon a new administration, with every sign cf popular approval, but enfoldlne every germ of self-destruction. It must offend the progressive If it stand still, or if undertake to advance by the old sectional route, if it fail, in short, to follow the path indicated by conservative, progres sive idea*. It must offend the conservative if it begin new agitation of old and w orn out issues. When it appears to have secured the final popular approval, to have reached the zenith of its glorj*, it enfolds the causes which will inevitably produce interna] dis sensions of every possible kind, growirg out of personal rivalry and out of failure to satisfy the various elements of which it is composed as to the manifold quest for* of the day.

The cir cuinstances attendant upon his fcLo de sc are of a remarkable character. He bad been on guard the night previous, and falling asleep, was caught in this condi tion on post. The punishment for this offense in active service is death, and in the regular service, when not on active duty, imprisonment at hard labor from one to fire years. Drew was arrested shortly after mid night and taken to the guard house, where he was confined in a cell to await the result of a court martial. Hisdrowsi ness was all gone after his arrest, and he paced tbe narrow limits of his cell until daylight. Shortly before 7 a. m. tbe Sergeant walked through the corridor on which the cells face, and held some con- I versation with Drew, in which the lat ter. pointing to the Sergeant’s Spring- I field ritle which stood against the wall I near the cell door, asked him if that was ; his musket The Sergeant said yes, and ; went towards the guard room. The cell door had been left open, as the only exit | was through the guard room, in which were the relief* off duty and the non commissioned officers of the guard. The : Sergeant bad just reached the door of , the guard room, and was about to cross | the threshold when the sharp report of a j musket, sounding louder on account of I having been discharged in an enclosed I place, rang upon his cars, and caused ‘ the relief to leap to their feet and hurry 1 in the direction of the cells. They found Drew stretched lifeless upon the cell floor, with tbe whole back part of his head completely blown off. His shoe and stocking had been removed from his right foot, and from the scorched and blackened appearance of his mouth be had evidently placed the rauule of the nfle in his mouth and pulled the trigger *”ith his tea.
