AUGUSTA. OA.
SUNDAY MORNING ...April J», ISM
For PRESIDENT
Os thb United States:
ULYSSES S. tiRAHT,
GEORGIA.
Them is no iloubt that Col. Bullock
has a clear majority in this State, of from
* ten to fifteen thousand, orrr his competitor*
for the Governorship.
In a few days, however, the official re
sult will be made known, and wc shall bear
the judgment of the highest tribunal
known to our form of Government —the
will of the i>coplc-expressed through the
ballot box.
PROGRESS.
The history of our own nation.for the last
seven years,is the most wonderful of modern
times. The advancement we have made
to a higher order of life has no parallel in
the history ot any other nation.
But other nations are moving. Won
derful changes have taken place in Ger
many, by which it has been mainly put
under the rule of Prussia, the great Pro
testant power of the continent.
Italy, too, has been reorganized and
1 argoty unified under » ruler who lias no
special friendship for the Pope. It is not
probable that the temporal power of the
Papacy will survive old Pio Nono.
The Turkish Empire is showing more
and more signs of inevitable decay. It is
so evidently in the. last stages of its exist
ence, that the present head of Islam will
in all probability be the last.
But in no foreign country is there a
more wholesome progress than in Eng
land. The English people arc renewing
their national existence by a series of
reformatory measures, which promise to
put them fur in advance ol all the nations
of the old world. Their Parliament is
cautiously, but progressively, removing
restraints and burdens from the iwoplc.
Tha great act of last year, in extending the
right of suffrage and relief from unjust
civil disabilities, has been followed by the
aliolition of compulsory tithes for the
support of the Established Church. And
only a few days since the cable news
reached us that the Tory Ministry has
been defeated by a large majority in the
House of Commons, in a vote which, in
effect, orders the death warrant of the
Irish Establishment.
So the world moves on to the grand
consummation of universal light and
liberty, holiness and happiness.

BATTIST CONVENTION.
Editor National Republican:
I notice in this morning’s paper a state'
incnt that the Baptist State Convention
now in session in this city, refused the
conrtesy of a seat in that body to your
reporter, and invited the reporters of the
other daily journnl*. I am surprised at
this, and think there must be some mistake.
If it has been doue, it was, I suppose, on
account of the politics of The Republican.
Is it true that a Chistian church will
consent thus to proscribe those who difFer
politically with some of its members? lias
it come to this—that Republicans are to be
refused fellowship in the Baptist denomina
tion of this State? If so, I suggest that
Republicans in this city, who are members
of that branch of Christ’s visible kingdom,
hold a meeting to consider the propriety of
forming an independent church tlntt will
labor to save thp souls of men, regardless
of their political opinions.
I happen to know, Mr. Editor, that several
of those connected with your paper are Bap
tists; t'.at the wires of two are members of
that church, and their husbands arc pew
bo ders in the Greene Street Baptist Church;
he Editor is a member of a Christian church;
the Special Reporter is a communicant o(
the Greene Street Bapti't church—and yet
this same Reporter [politically, a life-long
Democrat] was refused the customary pro
fessional courtesy in a reliyioux convention,
because, forsooth, the journal which em
ployed his services advocates the policy of
the Republican party 1
I repeat, has it come to this ? 1 infer, the
next step will be to refute church fellowship
with Republicans—to exclude them from
the communion-table, l’lease give me your
views, and oblige A Ptw -Holder
in Greene Street Baptist Church.
In giving place to the foregoing, we are
pained to assure our correspondent that
there was no “mistake” in the pars gram
referred to. We have no disposition to
comment upon Ins proposition, beyond iho
remark that this deplorable spirit ot intoler
ance is not confined to a single denomina
tion of professing Christians in our city, as
we have good reason to know “ ’Tis true,
'tin pity ; pity ’tis, 'lis true.’’ m
Ocn Need. —The country needs quiet
and rest. For more than six long (oh, how
long!) years we have been subjected to a
strain that would have crushed most gov
ernments. In order to a revival ol busi
ness and general prosperity, we must
“settle down.” A just and equitable pro
tection must be given to all the industrial
interests of the country. A vast amount of
capital has been lying idle for two years
past, 1 >ecause there was no safety in invest
ing when everything was so fluctuating
and uncertain.
Do we not, on this beautiful Sabbath
mom, need an humble appeal to the God
• of nations, that He would interpose in our
behalf, and give “wisdom that is profitable
to direct” to Congress and to our whole
country as well ?
The Constitution. —There is uow no
question but that the Constitution is carried
by an overwhelming majority.

in which city ht will continue the sitting of

TO THE CITY A VTIIOUITIES.
Mr. Editor —The disgraceful proceedings
near the Post Ollice corner on the evening
of Thursday last, when citizens who are—or
ought to be—held responsible for the good
conduct and peace of the city, deserves
looking into on the part ol our city
authorities.
It is said that men, who ought to have
known better, gave a loose rein to their
passion on that occasion. Men who were
never suspected of carrying weapons, used
them freely. I demand that they be reported
to the Recorder’s Court , so that the citizens
who pursue their daily avocations may know
what the amount of their danger is from
those cowardly miscreants. We have re
cently had several friendly fisticuffs—enough
to make the time lively, but no weapons were
used. Let us know who carries pistols and
bowie knives. I have faced the Union cannon
and musketry, a loved brother’s bones are
now being upturned by the plow at Sharps
burg, but I for one wish to know who in this
community feard to meet the enemy in
battle, but have courage enough to he
assassins? • REPUBLICAN.
[Communicated.
Mr Editor —There arc in our community
a few men—so-called Democrats—who are
addicted to grinning at Republicans in the
streets. The time is well remembered when
the said grinning Democrats felt it conve
nient to leave Augusta for a season—tbe
Provost Marshal having issued an invitation
(or all grinning so-called Democrats to call
and see him. They were spared on that
occasion, and may be spared yet but tor
the information of the said so-called, I
would respectfully state that their little
game of grinning and blaspheming, and
attempts at intimidation, are played out—a
new order of things prevails, and men are
now allowed to express and entertain their
own opinions in regard to politics, without
let ot hindrance high unties, pistols and
bowie-knives notwithstanding.
Law and Order.
—
The brokers of New York who deal in
real estate have petitioned the Legislature
that they may be allowed to charge their
own prices for their transactions, and to
make such bargains as they can with the
parties with whom they deal. Their fees
arc now regulated by law.

Life Too Shout for Strife.—Charles
Dickens relates the following of [Douglas
Jerrold:
“Os his generosity I had a proof within
these two or three years, which it saddens
me to think of now. There had been es
trangement between us—noton any personal
subject, and not involving angry words—and
a good many months had passed without my
ever seeing him in the streets, when it fell
out that we dined, each with hit own separate
party, in the Stranger’s Room of the Ciub.
Our chairs were almost back to back, and I
took mine after he was seated and at dinner,
(1 am sorry to remember), and did not look
that wav. Before we had sat long, he openly
wheeled his chair around, stretched out both
k*nJ4 tea uaakUllCl) —.A BftlU
aloud, with a bright and loving face, that I
can see as I write to you : ‘‘Let us be friends
again. A life is not long enough fur this.”
Jerrold was not a Christian, but his cot*
duct in this case was worthy of a Christian
character. On a dying bed how insignifi
cant will appear many things about which
we contend in bitterness and wrath ! Life
is too short, its inevitable sorrows so
many, its responsibilities so vast and sblctun,
that there is, indeed, no time to spnre in
abusing aud maligning one another. Let
uot the sun so down on your wrath Never
close your eyes to sleep with your heart
angry towards your brother and fellow suf
ferer. See him and he reconciled if you
cun. If you cannot see him, write to him.
If he is a true man and a Christian, he will
listen. II lie is not, you will have done
right, and your soul will be blight with the
sunshine of Heaven-
Every Day Religion. —We must come
buck to our point, which is not to urge all
of you to give you riel ves up to missions, but
to serve God more and more in connection
with your daily calling. I have hoard that
a woman who has a mission makes a poor
wife and a bad mother; this is very possi
ble, and at the same time very lamentable;
but the mission 1 would urge is not of this
sort. Dirty rooms, slatternly gowns and
children with unwashed faces are swift
witnesses against the sincerity of those who
keep other’s vineyard* and noglect their
own. 1 have no faith in that woman who
talks of grace and glory abroad, and uses
no soap and water at home. Let the but
tons be on the shirts, let the children’s
socks be mended, let the roast mutton be
done to a turn, let the house be as neat as
anew pin, and the home be happy as home
can be; and theD, when tbe cannon balls,
and tbe marbles, and the shots, and eveu
the grains of sand, are all in the box ; even
then there will be room for those little
deeds of love and faith which, in my Mas
ter's name, I seek of you who look for His
appearing. Serve God by doing common
actions in a heavenly spirit, nnd then, if
your daily calling only leaves you cracks
and crevices of time, fill these up with holy
service. To use the Apostle’s words, “As
we have opportunity, let us do good unto
all men.”
The Early Home or Jesus. —Four miles
south of the strong Greek city of Sephoris,
bidden away among gentle hills, then covered
from the base to the crown with vineyards
and fig irees, lay a natural nest or basin of
rich red and white earth, star-like in shape,
but a mile in width, and wondrously fertile.
Along the scarred nnd chalky slope of the
highest of these hills spread a small and
lovely village, which, in a lund where every
stone seemed to have a story, is remarkable
as having had no public history and no
distinguishable native name. No great road'
led up to this sunny nook. No traffic came
into it, no legions marched through it.
Trade, war, adventure, pleasure, pomp,
passed through it, flowing from west to east,
from east to west, along the Roman road.
But the meadows were aglow with wheat and
barley. Near the low ground rau a belt of
gardcus; fenced with stones, in which myriads
of green figs, red pomegranates, and golden
citrons ripened in the summer sun. High
up the slopes, which were lined and planted
like the Rhine at Bingen, hung vintages of
purple grapes. In the plain, among the
corn and beneath the mulberry trees and
figs, shond daises, poppies, tulips, lilies, and
anemones, eadless in their profusion, bril
limit iu their dyes.
Low down on the hillside sprang a well of
water, bubbling, plentiful and sweet ; and
above tliis fountain of life, in njong street
straggling from the fountain to the syna
gogue, rose the homesteads ot many shep
herds, craftsmen, and vine dressers. It was
a lovely and humble place, of which no
ruler, it I historian of Israel hud ever yet
taken notice. No Rachel had been met and
kissed into love at this well; no Ruth had
gathered up the sheaves of barley in you
Helds , no lower had been built for observa
tion on this height; no camp had been
pitched for buttle in that vale. That One
who would become dearer to the fancies of
men than either Roth or Rachel, then walked
through these fields, drew water at this
spring, passed up and down the lanes ot this
hamlet, no seer could hare then surmised-
The place was more than obscure. The
Arab may have pitched his black tent by
the well, the magistrate of Sephoris must
have known the village, but the hamlet was
never mentioned by the Jewish scribes. In
the Bible, in the Talmud, in the writings of
Josephus, we search in vain for any record
ol this sacred place. Like its happj neigh
bors, Nain and Endor, it was the abode of
husbandmen and oil dressers, whose lives
were spent in the synagogue and the olive
grove, away from the bright Greek citieys and
the busy Roman roads. No doubt it had
once been possessed of either an Arab or a
Hebrew name, but we do not know the
name except in its Hellenic form. The
Greeks called the town Nazuret or Naza
reth.
Concerning the practice of sleeping in
church, Henry Ward Boucher sura: “If a
man sleeps under my preaching ” I do not
send n boy to wake him up, but I feel that
a boy hud better come and waku me up."
A Hard Hit. —Rowland Hill’s church is
in general but sparsely attended : one morn
ing, however, it was suddenly filled to over
flowing, owing probably to a violent thunder
shower, which forced the passers to seek the
nearest refuge. The preacher stopped short
in the midst of his sermon and exclaimed:
‘ Many are rebuked by the world for making
a cloak of religion ; but for my part, I have
no belter opinion of those who mako it an
umbrella.'’
AGRICULTURAL.
&44J.L Industries.—We b«vc urged upon
our readers more than mice the importance
ol what we call the small rural industries in
contradistinction to large farming operations*
now rendered almost impossible in the late
slave holding States by the destruction of
our labor system. Among the small indus
tries may be included the cultivation of hops,
basket willow, fruits of all kinds, and honey.
The annexed article will probably make
some who are in the habit of sneering at
what they contemptuously call 1 truck farm
ing” open their eyes and see a little more
clearly where their interest lies:—
What .a Boy Can Do.—Mr. Edmund
Moms, of New Jersey, in the American
Journal of Horticulture, gives nn instance
ol a boy s success in gardening that is a very
good example for others:
A gentleman within two miles of mo, by
way of interesting his son (a young lad) in
agricultural pursuits, gave him the free use
of an acre to cultivate ns he pleased. The
shrewd boy located a half acre on one side
of his father’s barnyard, and tho other on
the opposite. He could thus trundle out a
dozen barrow loads es manure upon his
ground whenever so disposed. He planted
the acre in Lawton blackberries, cultivated
them himself, and last year his gross sales
of fruit amounted to S6OO. The year pre
ceding, his clear profit from the same acre
was $450. I hare walked through this
magnificont creation of juvenile care and
shrewdness, and must confess that no en
gineering of my own in the same line has
been able to equal it. The contents of the
convenient barnyard told powerfully upon
the quantity ana quality of tho fruit. The
*•»« ->f the land. thouB I’oesfMbaift/h, 1 ’oesfMbaift/h,
was much less valuable than the annual
crop. Within gunshot of this field are ten
•acres of the same berry, which last year
yielded a net profit of s4,2oo—more than
tbe land would sell for.
The father of the lad referred to was en
gaged in mercantile business in Philadelphia,
bat he had never realized such profits as he
thus saw his enterprisiug son annually
securing. The example set before him by
the lad inflamed his ambition to drop some
one or two branches of agriculture and take
to raising berries also. He began his plant
ings several years ago—for the son has long
been harvesting very paying crops—aud has
been planting annually from the increase of
his own fields, until he now has thirty acres
of Lawtons. Last winter he cut down an
apple orchard of large bearing trees, to make
room for more berries. The profit from the
latter far outstripped the best orchard in the
country.
[From the Washington Chronicle.
]>'ISRAELI'S TROUBLES.
Mr. D’lsraeli lias drifted into troubled
waters. A majority against him in a House
where six hundred members voted, though
a demonstration of great antagonism, shows
no more than the fact, never denied by Lord
Derby or himself, that he is weak in the
Commons. That hostile vote need not
make him resign office, nor hurry on a
general election one day before what he
considers the proper fulness of time. He is
not the man to throw up the game in a huff
with good cards in his hand, as Gladstone
did in 1866, because he had lost a trick or
two. He is more likely to hold on in bis
position. It cost him years of anxiety,
mamsuvring, policy, action, and persever
ance to reach the eminence on which he
now stands, and he is not the man to play
into his opponent’s hand. [lis coming
troubles are in anew direction.
In the House of Lords, with the excep
tion of Lord Chancellor Cnirns, who is a.
powerful debater, but can not always be
debating, considering the position ho occu
pies there, the D’lsraeli government has
not a single good speaker. Lord Derby, in
office, was ministerial leader of that House,
and was a match for nil the Opposition.
But the present leader is the Earl of
Malmesbury, a dull and blundering speak
er, who failed so greatly- as Foreign Secre
tary, in 1852 and 1859, that when the
Derby D’lsraeli administration was formed,
In June, 1860, he was placed in office as
Lord Privy Seal, in which capacity he has
no work, no responsibility, and can do very
little harm. There are several other noble
men in the cabinet—the Dukes, of Marl
borough, Richmond, Buckingham and
Montrose, besides the Earl of Devon ; but
these are simply working officials, not one
of whom has tho slightest pretension to
rank as an orator.
By the and ■nth of his f.tlier, Lord Cruti
borne, who was Indian Secretary from July,
1866, to March. 1867, Inis succeeded to
the marquisato of Salisbury. He “bolted”
oat of the Derby Ministry last year, in com
pany with General Peel nnd Lord Colchester,
because be thought D’lsraeli’s reform bill
went too far, and has gradually been assum
ing tin- leadership in the Commons, in which
he lias luid a seat since 1853, of a little
Ultra-Tory party, which as yet, is powerful
only in ocetisioiillay annoying the Ministry.
The new Marquis of Salisbury, one of the
richest among the English nobility, is only
thirty years old, ambitious, laborious, perse
vermjr, and one ol the best parliamentary
speakers, withal, of the present day. As
piring to he Prime Minister, in due time, lie
is not tin- man to sink into inactivity and
silence in the House of Lords, and no one
knows this belter than Mr. D’lsi-ueli. Be
fore his bold nnd stirring eloquence poor
Lord Malmesbury will fail and fall. Mr
D’lsrneli, therefore, in self-defence, must
place a suitable opponent in the Lords, and
it would not surptse curious watchers of,
events aud probabilities if Lord Stanley
who is a good debater, (notwithstanding a
defect in tile palate which affects bis utLer
unoc,) were to h.* uIU up cu me noUSe of
Lords expressly to reply to the new Marquis
of Salisbury.
According to the State census of 1860, the
avernge monthly wages, inclusive of board,
in thirteen States of the Union, was S3O for
males, and sl7 lor females. In the six New
England States the proportion was $32.56
for men, and $16.33 for women; and the
excess of the former was greatest in Massa
chusetts, being $48.90 to $19.02. The high
est pay given to women was in Rhode Island,
being $20.34 per mouth.
Twelve years ago Rev. R. G. C. Hein pie,
a Presbyterian minister, was suspended on
the charge of intemperance. Ills wife,
unable longer to live with him, obtained a
legal separation. Some time ago Mr. Hem
pie reformed. After a long probation, lie
was reunited to his wile, and his scattered
family were gathered together. Last week,
the Third Presbytery assembled in NewYork,
and restored him to the Christian ministry.
The scene was a very impressive one.
The Paris exhibition building, which so
lately housed not only the nrt products of the
world but its principle potentates, and which
cost eleven millions of francs, lias been sold
for one million ten thousand. Tho Emperor
would willingly have allowed it to stand, but
Marshal Niel wanted the ground for the
reviewing of the troops, aud the building is
to be taken lown.
The life and accident insurance companies
have suffered heavily by the late disaster on
the Erie Railway. From a curefttl estimate,
it appears that the insurance which the
companies will be compelled to pay, is about
$98,000, is as follows: On general life,
$30,000; on accidental life, principally in
the Hartford Passenger Assurance Com
pany, $20,000 ; and $ 18,000 ns compensa
tion for damage, estimated at $25 per week,

A handsome young bride was observed to

An old lady once said that her idea of a

his mother ; she is a good little girl, on the

It is a little remarkable that the book
whose contents arc more gem-rally interest
ing than those of any volume issued, is a
book which has been but little read, and, in

pocket-book.
A young man having preached fur his
bishop, was anxious to get a word ol applause
for his labor of love. The bishop, however,
did not introduce the subject, and his
younger brother was obliged to bait the
hook for him. “I hope, sir, I did not weary
your people by the length of my sermon to
day?’ “No, sir, not at all ; nor bv the depth
either I”
In a meeting house in wli eh it was cus
tomary lor the men to sit on one side of the
room and the women on tho otlieik there was
so much talking, one Sabbath, that the
minister had to sjjgak of it. “I hope you’ll
take notice that it’s not on our side of the
house,” responded one ol the women. “So
much the better,” said the minister, “so
much the better, for then it’ll sooner be over.”
A countryman “hanging around” the
depot in Springfield accidently espied the
steam gunge on a locomotive of the Hart
ford and New Haven Road, which was
standing motionless on tho track. Drawing
from his pocket a watch of the warming

ment, compared it with the guage, and as
he commenced turning the hands with an
old brass key, exclaimed wonderinglv us be
sauntered away, “Gosh, I’ve lost two hours.’*
A learned professor in a New England
college was accustomed to demand of students
an excuse whenever they were (dilatory at
recitation. The excuse given. In- invariably
added: “Very well, hut don’t let it hupp-a
again.” One morning a married student
happening to be behind time was promptly
interrogated as to the cause. Slightly em
barrassed, lie replied, “The truth is, sir, 1
had an addition to my family this inorniiur,
and it was not convenient to lie here sooner.”
“Very well, replied the Professor, in his
quick nervous manner, “Very well, hut don’t
let it happen again.”
