NationalHeptibliccm 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. Communicated. 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. •, , , Judge Emkine. —Judge Erskine is in the city, hot will return to Bavannah shortly, in which city ht will continue the sitting of the District Court for the Southern District, or five weeks.— Atlanta Era, Saturday.

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, CHIPS. A wag observes that he looks under the marriage head fe* tbe news of the “weak.” An Irishman remarked of a lady who had been very kind to him, “ Bedad, she’s a perfect gentleman. AYhy are women extravagant in clothes? Because when they buy anew dress they wear it out on the first day. A wealthy widow, advertising for an agent, was overwhelmed with applications, the printer had made it agent. A lady speaking of the gathering oflawyers to dedicate anew court bous-, said she supposed they had gone “to view the ground where they must shortly lie.” “ Wlmt would you be, dearest,” said John to lus sweetheart, “if I was. to press the seal of love upon those sealing wax lips?” “ I should be stationary.” Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, says that thfftigh Queen Victoria and the King of Abyssinia didu’t marry, they fight jus? as much as if they had done so. A man out West, who offered bail for a friend, was asked by the judge if he had an incumbrance on his farm. -‘Oh, yes,” said he, “ my old woman,” A humane individual remarks that one of the skulls found in Pompeii at the excavation, offered to Admiral l’arragut, is supposed to be that of a lawyer, from the remarkable extent of its jaw. “ You have played the deuce with my heart," said a gentleman to a lady who was his partner in a game of whist. “ Well replied the lady, with an arch smile, “ it was because you played the knave.'' Mrs. Partington lias been reading the health officer’s weekly reports, and thinks yH!4as?i < #ftl'J c n A45 l !„-,Wy ill, .Htajignaul rest put together. A Michigan undertaker thus gratefully responds to a friend who had dono him a favor: “If you ever want a coffin call on me. I shall be most happy to bury you and all your family at the lowest cost price !” Husband, I hope you have no objection to my being weighed, “Certainly uot, my dear, why do you ask ?” “Only to see, love, if you would not let mo have my weigh once.’’ A handsome young bride was observed to be in deep reflection on her wedding day. One of her bridesmaids asked her the sub ject of her meditation. “I was thinking,” she replied, “which of my old beaux I should marry if I should become a widow.” An old lady once said that her idea of a great man, was “a man who was koerful of his clothes ; didn't drink spirits ; kin read the Bible without spelling the words, and kin eat a cold dinner on wash day, to save the wiramen folks tho trouble of cooking.” “ Bridget,” said O’Mulligan to his wife, “ its a cowld yc have. A drop of tho cra ftier 'ud do you no liarrum.” “Och hone,” said Biddy, “I’ve taken the pledge ; but you can mix a drink, Jemmy; and force me to swally it.” I wish you would behave better at the table, said a boy to his little sister, rather hastily, one evening. Don’t speak so, replied his mother ; she is a good little girl, on the whole. I don’t see where the good comes in, he replied. It comes in right after the a, said his sister. 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 fact, has never been printed. The curiosity of the intelligent reader will bo allayed when we state that tho book alluded to is the 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 pan style, he looked attentively for a mo 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.” Fruit.—A regular old fashioned country fight, of the list and skull ftattcrn, took place in the streets this afternoon between Gen.
