C. /' » My little boy about six years of age. brought me yesterday, a “reward of merit" from his Teacher, aud said “Little Mamma,” keep my ticket for me, aud if I ask God every night to make me good I’ll get another next week, wont I ? Oh Mamma! (and he gently came and. nestled at my side), Dear Mamma keep my ticket, and be very sure you hide . It where no old naughty finger can find it to destroy, —And his arms were clasped around me—My gen tle, noble, Boy! And Mamma, little Mamma, (and his voice to whispers grew), If I’ll be good to Johnnie, to my Papa and to you; If I’ll “notice little Sister” and ’member ’bout my hat Will I get another ticket, say Mamma, just like that? If I’ll say “now I lay me down” slow, and al . ways let My Brother have the nicest place, and kiss you ’fore I get In my trundle, near the cradle where little Sister lies, Will I get another ticket if I’mgood ? Yon know I tries! As I clasped him to my bosom, the tears my eyelids wet, I told my Boy of Jesus, and I bade him ne’er forget That He loves good little children. Pray Darling while He's near, Ask him to make you “good,” my child, He turns no dcaf’ning ear. Father, I tremble often as I meet these earnest eyes, Though the burthen’s “sweet” ’tis “heavy,” to nurture such a prize As this fair, pure, spotless child, I must pure aud spotless be, Help me Father, that I bring it unpolluted nnto Thee! “God who gavest to my guiding hand this wan d’rer” to lead Through paths that oft* are lone mid dark, where feet so often bleed, Bruised and pierced by cruel thorns, O leave me not alone j, r j* . To guide him to those gates of pearl. Thou, he., most lean upon ! Macon, April, 18®.' * FORNEY’S LAST FORGERY. Card from Howell Cobb. From the Savannah News, 12th. J Under this heading the New York World publishes a communication from the late General Howell Cobb —perhaps the last words he ever wrote for the press —-vindicating himself from a most foul and malicious slander concocted by that vile falsifier, miscreant add pimp, John W. Forney. In Georgia the character of Howell Cobb neeJs no defence from charges of inhumanity and uncharitable ueas, such as those alleged by the base creature who scruples at no villainy, no falsehood, to ruin the character of an in nocent woman, or to blacken the reputa tion of apolitical opponent. But the ref utation of the slander will he read with interest, as being among tbe last words of one Whose noble attributes of character were so well known,whose private and pub lic worth was so sincerely appreciated, and whose memory will be Jong and warmly cherished by the Southern people. The infamous slander against Mr. Cobb was put forth in the shape of a letter pur porting to have been written by one of the ‘-Brigade of Death” which recently fig pretended survivor of Andersonvllle.' In the course of this letter, with many other statements equally as false and revolting, the writer gives the story of a young mau by the name of Cabei, a native of Florida, who. at the time of the breaking out of the war, was a clerk ia one of the Depart ments in Washington, and Who volun teered in the Federal service; was after wards captured in Virginia and sent to the military prison at Andersonville. This young *n*n was, of course, most barba rously treated, and rapidly sunk under his accumulated wrougs and privations. He was in a very low state of health and on the verge of despair when Gen. Cobb vis ited the stockade. The writer says; was within the vicinity of the prLuu, and would soorj is! t the pi ace, hiff|gMWere said; “ I know that he will remember me, and get me exchanged or get me free.” with my assistance, mustered, stungl* enough to appear before him. At first Mr. Cobb paid but little attention to him, but when he mentioned to Cobb of his (CabnFe) brother being formerly a member of Congress from Florida, then it was that Howell Cobb proved tbe human demon. Again scrutinizing young Cab#!, he skid : “Oh! yea, I know you, and know about ean only wish that your brother were here to share your lot.” Young Cabei seemed to stagger under these cruel remarks, and not try to get him free; could brnot. at least, do something to mitigate bis sutler logs—he showed Mr. Cobb bis emaciated arms and body—the dreadful sores upon his feet as they seemed ready to drop from Cabef,Tw S*do ▼on malms you will renounce your allegi ance to the United States Government, and, as soon as you are able, join tne Con federate ranks—as you are Southern born, sSSSSSSSSi?£ glass.e/ssui: this is asking too much of me, and sassasHS desert the flag I was born under and God to defend Oh! no Mr Cobb. dk> not ask so much of me. And let me asjkyoa, Mr. Cobb, If you were a pris mierlS the Untou lines, and such oropo- Sittons weas offered you, what would you 6»yif but before Cabei could finish tbe Sentence, Cobb, in a pompous manner, said: “ W hat would I say ? Why, if the United States Government, under such oireurostanees, were to offer me not only Mbkrty, but fame and power, I would say dig a hole large enough to contain me and my family, and before I would swear alle giance to the United States Government I would take my family by the hand and walk into the bole, and be buried from sight forever.” These are his exact words, not only heard by myself, but by many «er poor creatures that were listening, I talked over in many a gloomy oirole. er Mr. Cobb had finished his supposed brave remarks, he turnedaway to leave for another portion of the yard, and poor Cabei went back to our little cave and threw him self upon the ground, completely over whelmed in grief and despair ; spoke only of the “cruelty of Mr. Cobb, how little hH& expected it,” etc. The harrowing story goes on to relate bow, after one more attempt of the young man to crave the merciful interposition of General Cobb, when he was ruthlessly thrust aside by one of the guard; he crawl ed to his cave and died—“by 9 o’clock the next morning the only thing of that dear young boy' was thrown into the dead cart.” The following is Gen. Cobb’* letter: New York, Oot. 3,1868. To the Editor Os the World : A friend has Just placed in my hands what purports to be a speech of Mr. John W. Forney, of Philadelphia, and I ask a place in your columns to notice a state ment made in reference to myeelf which I cannot permit to pass uncontradicted. Mr. Forney read as a part of his speech, and gave to the country with his indorse ment the following letter, as I find it in his published remarks: {Here follows the forged letter in full, signed “T. E. Davis, late 48th Regt. N. Y. 8. Volunteers.] Gen. Cobb continues: I desire, in the most emphatic and un conditional manner, to pronounce the statements of this letter, so far as they refer to myself, an unmitigated fabrication from beginning to the end. There is not the slightest pretext upon which it can rest. Neither to this Mr. Cabei, nor any other prisoner at Audersonville or else where, did I ever use the language im puted to me, or anything at all resembling it. No one who knows me will credit the charge for a moment. It is not my nature or disposition to treat anybody—much less a helpless prisoner—in a manner so cruel and unfeeling. John W. Forney knows me, aud he knew at the time he publish ed this letter to the world that its state ments were not, could not be true. I make this unequivocal denial to protect my name in the estimation of those who, unlike Mr. Forney, do' not know me. Whatever else may be said of me, cruelty or unkiudness to prisoners can in no in stance be charged against me. On the contrary, I can say with truth that during the war no prisoner ever made a request of me, which it was in power to grant, that was not prom ply responded to, and there are those in Mr. Forney’s own State who will bear testimony to the fact. Allow me to add that the statements in this letter bear internal evidence of their falsity. Mr. Cabei, the former member of Congress, whom I am made to denounce as a traitor, <fcc., was my personal friend, and was with the South during the whole war, and in the Confederate army at its close. If he ever bad a brother in the Federal army I never heard of it. The Audersonville prison was never in my command nor under my control, but the-guard employed Uujye was detailed from my troops, and this occasioned the from’a prisoner by the name of Cable, frorii Ohio, that he desired to see me. I applied to the commandant of the prison to have pirn brought out of the prison to the quarters I was occupying for the day. The request was promptly complied with, and I had an interview with Mr. Cabei, who was quite an intelligent man, which lasted for the close of it Ml Cabei expressed to me his thanks sot the manner in which ! re ceived and treated him. The only request made of me that 1 had the power to grant was promply granted, and he appreciated it, as he did my whole conduct and bfear iug towards him in the spirit of kindness* which dictated it. I have no wish to ex tend this communication by any com ments. .. yYYHry£*'»f LIFL > Howell Cobb. P. S.—Siuce writing the above, I have casually met with Mr. Cabei, formerly of Florida, who expressed the greatest sur he had no brother or near relative in the Federal army that he knows of. LY THE BOWL. .«* ' An old chap in Connecticut, who was one of the most niggardly men in that part of the country* carried on the blacksmith ing business very extensively, and also boarded all his own bauds. And to show how he envied the men wh »t they ate, lie would always have a bowl of bean soup disced up for himself to cool, while that for the lmn(ft‘was served up In a large pan just from the boiling pot. The fellow had an apprentice who was very unlucky among the hot irons, frequently burning h|s fingers. The old man scolded him se verely one day for being so careless. “How can I tell if they are hot unless they are red ” said the hoy. “Never touch anything again until you spit on it; fef it don’t his* it won’t burn-” In a day of two the marisent the boy in to see If fils soup was cool. The boy went in—spit in t£§ bowl, and of course the soup did not hfos. So he went back aod told the boss that all was right. “Dinner!” cried he. All band* run ;. dowu wenfc the old raw huge*spoonfu/of boiling Vt? sou? intabli mouth. “Good heavens!” cried the old man in a rage. Wbat did you tell me that lie for, you cod founded young rascal?” “Ldid not Up ?” said the bor Innocently. ■You told me that I must always spit on to try If was hot; so I spit in your bowl and the soup did not hiss, so I BKSS.-ssjves among the journeymen after that. Effect of the Spanish Revolution imVVMA..— -A correspondent of the New York Times, writing from Havana, on the 3d Instant, says: From anything to be observed here, no one would suppose that a revolution was going on In the mother country.

One of them this morning has a long leader on the women of Franoe and I England, and another a scathing review oMite condition of almost all the countries In the' Worm except Spain. Whatever may be the result there, it Is not probable that any disturbance will occur here. Tbe Spauleh residents and naval and military men stationed here have generally been long enough absent from the mother country for the moderation of their parti san feelings. As to the Cabans, laziness macon. ga., Wednesday, October 14, 1868. if not loyalty, will always secure them from revolt. Any change that may take place here will be quiet and gradual. “THIS NOBLE AnfUtyjl.’fi M 1 SCENE at A CINCINNATI HORSE AUCTION. Auctioneer on the block shouts, “Bring forth the horse!” Enter two attendants, leading, or more properly supporting, a dilapidated equine specimen, to weed aud emaciated to possibly walk iu without assistance. He lias a head like a bass viol, his backbone is to sharp for even chickens to roost on, and not hairs enough in his tail to make a fiddle bow. There are bunches big as watermelons on his knees, and gutters down his sides to carry oil'the rain water. ■..-**% wry *s-su Auctioneer—“ Ah ! gentlemen, here we have a fine specimen of that noble animal, the horse. I sometimes think thrt the horse is in a way related to man. [By stander —‘This horse is a devilish poor re lation.’] Talk of the sagacity of the dog, that of the horse far surpasses it. Look at him* See how he pleads for sympathy. [Bystander—‘Pleads for oats, more like.] What shall I hear for this noble animal? [Rudeboy—‘Hear the bells tolling in a day or two.’] A direct descendant from Bucephalus; he was sired by Lexington, Kentucky, aud darned by [Bystander— ‘Everybody that has owned him’] his maternal ancestor. Come, gentlemen, make a bid. If you want a family horse, of a gentle and affectionate disposition, not disposed to run away, [Bj slander—‘Or walk away either,’] this is your animal.— Any gentleman, by leaving a deposit of five dollars for security against fast' driv ing, is welcome to take and try him. — [Bystander—‘For soap grease?’] He is warranted not to pull when hitched in the stable, [Hostler —‘Or when hitched in the wagon,’] aud can go single or double.— [Bystander—‘He would go better with a horse on each side of him to hold him up,’] Gentlemen, do I hear an offer.? If you don’t want him now, you could easily dis pose of him for a cavalry horse in the next war. He may be considered the ne plus ultra of a horse. [Bystander—‘Yes the knock-nee plus ultra.’] —What ami offer ed ?” A Voice—“ Seventy-five cents.” Auctioneer—“ Sold!” The bidder cries “sold,” and then all the people raise up their voices aria cry “sold” also. —Cincinnati Times Disastrous Effects of the Late Rains and Floods Upon the Rice Crop. —We learn that the recent heavy raius f and the floods in the rivers and creeks consequent thereon, have had a very dis astrous effect upon the rice crops. A few weeks ago it was thought that the crop would be very heavy this season; but within the week just past one-third of the crop raised along the Savannah, Ogeechee and Altamaha rivers has been destroyed ; and the floods are not yet over This will materially lessen the estimates which have.been formed of the amount of rice which would be raised this year. The amount of damage done has been carefully calculated. It is placed very low, perhaps, as the destruction is going on every day now. The floods have been greater this year than they have beeu known to be for many years, and the damage they have done thus lar is very great. We hope that the rice planters will come off better than they anticipate, but things look gloomy at present. —Savannah News, 12 th.
