Efforts are making, with favorable pros

1 have ub objections to hia calling General

General” can stand his intimacy, 1 am sure
that I can stand his abuse
lo tbe Sunday's issue ot the Herald I wrote
an editorial in which 1 stated that I did not
believe Abrams when he denied the charge of
having written the life of Blodgett, and canid
not believe it until it was sustained by other
and better testimony. 1 said that 1 made
this statement with a full knowledge of Ihe
responsibility that it carried with it, aod the
only course laft-fcr Abrams was either to dis
prove the charge or demand personal redress,
that abuse would net relieve him. He has
done neither, ~bnt hss resorted to personal
abuse.
Abrams, in his denisl, said, if he conld
possibly bave written such a life, he "would
consider himaelf the most infamous scoundrel
alive.” I have proved by the most incontro
vertible evidence that he did write it, and I
can therefore take no farther notice of the
-•moat infamous scoundrel alive."

A CARD TO THF. PUBIJC.
I have slopped Ihe press of Ihe News this
morning for Ihe purpose of saying a few
words concerning the card ot K. A. Alston,
which appears in his paper. R. .A. Alston
hus been repeatedly informed by me, and is
fatly aware of tbe fact, that I am under ob
ligations not to seek redress in Ibe manner
ouslomary among gentlemen..
Ho is also aware that I am not under any
obligations not to receive a communication
from him in the manner nsnal among gen-
tlemen.
Perhaps this is the reason why R. A. Al
ston heroically defies me. and tries to cover
his own dirty work by denunciations which
he knows to be false
If R. A. Alston prefers the leas courageous
but much safer medium of a newspaper’s
colnmas for .the carrying on of his qnarrelB,
T have nothing farther to say.

Editor» Herald—Will youjtermit me to say,

hat 1 ever stole anything. I may have got
into somebody’s water melon patch in my

Abrams has convicted H l Kimball witbont
indictment or trial; but! was treated to a
quadrilateral of indictments and acquitted
upon them all—still Abrams convicts me.—
Well, 1 hope 1 may never steal.anything, and
I hope I may never murder anybody iu deed
or in thought; but should I be so unfortunate
as to try to shoot.my little gun at some fellow
being, I hope I may be able lu call into re

fully walloping two thousand of the Allan-

(o-Oprratloi.
The'“farmers’movement” towards co-op
eration affords some useful lessons. Alone
and retired, acting on bis limited experts
enee on business, tbe farmer fannd himself
an easy prey of any other industry—why ?
He met combinations by independence and
individual force alone. The shape, quality
and price of the individual force alone. The
shape quality and price of the implements
necessary for his industry were . liked bp
others, while he retained no power to fix
the price of his own prodneis. How does
he seek to extricate himself from this -embar
rassment?- -He joins with his fellow-farmers
for common purposes. They have orope lo
,aell and goods to buy The first step to
wards making eo operation effective is to se
lect a faithful and competent agent. The
agent acting upon the principle of di
vision and concentration of labor, thinks,
studies, reads, observes and acts promptly
at the business centres, not for one farmer
alone, but for the farmers of the whole State,
who are united by association. This 1b the
method of progress—this is tbe method of
economy, and the agents should and. will be
sustained. Already they have unlocked the
bumness dobra in onr cities, that were closed
to all but those engaged in selling again, and
hare reduced the prices of goods and sup
plies, as well as the cost of doing business to
a more reasonable standard.—The Grange.
One of the most important reforms proposed-
by the Patrons of Husbandry is that of pur
chasing for cash or ready pay. Many who
are not friendly to the Order speak of this
proposal aneeriagly, and wonder why it iB
not acted upon at once. The fact is, it takes
lime to bring around and establish so radical
a change; bnt agriculturists are thoroughly
alive to the importance of the subject, and
are evidently determined by economy and
' thrift to place themselves .in a position to
8 «°j«y i|i benefits at the earliest day possible.

- The Atlanta Constitution of Sunday, the
9th, oontnins a ‘•Special" of ar.melhiog over
half a column, dated Albany, the 8th. iletatlR
ing.the outrage perpetrated by Mi =e Jarrell,
on Sunday the 2d. in this city.
On tbe 6th, the Albany Sis, published a
foil account of the occurrence, and it cer
tainly reached the Constitation as early as
the morning of the 8fh, the date of Ihe- said
"special,” and fall . twenty-four hours ln.ad
vance of the publication in that paper.
The wonder about it is the fact, that the
only facts stated in the “special” are the
idintical facts, word for word, and line for
line, that we penned and published, And
which were doubtless read in our paper by tbs
enterprising editors of tbe Constitation on
Saturday morning.
There is an old rale of law that runs thus:
The receiver of stolen goods, knowing them
to be stolen, is equally guilty with tbe thief
Now, we care nothing about the petty
thieving at this end of the wires, for'it is so
common that the purloioers are never molest
ed, but it is too bad to see onr best sensation
gobbled up, even stale as it was on the 8th,
and appropriated bodily by such intellectual,
.enterprising, courteous and honorable pro
fessionals as those who keep that great lead

In conclusion he said :
I speak it with a certain reluctance, and
the (bought oftentimes, when it comes, even
touches me with grief, but I believe that Mr.
Davis, for example will be hung. Already
che scene rises before* vne. He is tried, he is
convicted; he stands on (he scaffold. All
nations have watched (he sure process of the
law; all nations have listened to (he charges
laid at his door: all nations gather about the
scaffold. There are some things lo plead for
him. He is n man of distinguished ability ;
he has conducted his war with pertinacity
and courage; he was the beloved leader of
the multitudes of the South, and even now
millions of them would shield him if they
could. He lifts a wife who loves him, and
children who cannot understand his crime;
he ia surrounded by a mighty, innumerable
North, who, t he war being over and its hot
passion cooled, have no hate and no malice,
and nothing more and nothing worse than a
chastened, sorrowful indignation toward him.
If they could forget the dead; if their T>ells

Wilson.
The subject of this notice was .bora In. Prince Ed
ward county, Ya^ on the 4th of March, 1790, and waa,
consequently, 81 years, 4 months and IS days old.
During the war of 1812 he enlisted as a private, and
served in Col. Angnstu' Watson’s regiment, in the de
fense of Norfolk, Va. He subsequently married one
of Col* Watson’s daughters.
He loved tbe Church, of which be had been a
her nearly forty years. HU eeat xxs t
when it wae in his power to attend. Blessed with a
strong constitution, he had enjoyed a remarkable de
gree of vitality and entrgy for one of Us age, and,
deed, until the last three years, disease had been
known to him. During his last illness his
were great, being continually racked wUh the most
excruciating pains. So far as known, he is the last of
a large family of brothers and sisters,
He came to his children in Georgia in January, ISCc,
in consequence of changes rroaght In his rttiT*
State by the cruel fortunes of the late war.
A Virginian by binb.R was one of the chief pleas
ure of his old age to dwell upon the superiority of his
native State.
' In this community Hr. Wilson was respected for his
