Dtar J\es* : I hope you know the cause of my long silence, for my prayer bus been that of the Grecian hero, when enveloped in unnatural clouds and darkness - “Pispell this gloom, the light of heaven restore, Give me to see, and Ajax asks no more.’* You know that my homo is now about about half-way up the Georgia Hail Hoad, and while I’m not the man who— “Ch’d for a lodge in some vast wilderness, With boundless contiguity of shade,” still the few hundred acros of uplaud and lowland, Oakland, creek and swamp, And the big old house a half century old, all accord more with the perpetual vordancy of my nature than the autumn of my years. The great institution, that gives alike perpetual noise and novelty to our rural homo is the Georgia Rail Road. You folks who have theatres and Freednen’s Bureaus and the intelligent contraband, and fire men’s parades and dust, never get time to noiico that wonder of the animal kingdom, the Steam alia* Iron Horse engine. You ought some dark night, to stumble unex pectedly on its track, and hear the rum bling of the coming earthquake. Then comes a dragon with an eye of fire and jaws full of live coals, dragging after him a long swaying body full of human victims, and rousing the ‘boar immemorial echoes’ by a shriek, like a catamount with a grindstone on its tail. It is the genius of the nine teenth century, the laud iron clad, rushing from the darkness behind to the darkness before— “On, on, with a haughty front, a shriek, a puff, and a bound, Where the tardy echoes awake too late to re-echo back the sound!” This old artery for the heart blood of Georgia commerce, has suffered much. But in spite of the conscription that kept both road way and rolling stock as near ruin as possible, from the drain of skilled labor; in spite of war and worthless money and General Sherman, and the utter prostration of a vanquished people, the old Hoad is yet an institution on the earth. All excres cences are lopped off, all expenses reduced to mu oasis ot necessity, and before long a great and prosperous corporation, will rear itself to the old financial power, and stand a monument to the zeal and energy of E. W. Cole. With the Western «l> Atlantic Hail Hoad taxing the vast grain fields of Cherokee Georgia, and the West, and with those noble corporations, tbo South Caro lina Hail Rond and Central Rail Hoad, rising Phoenix-like from the ashes of the past, and reaching out to drink commercial life from the Atlantic ; with the treed ne groes at work and Heaven’s rain “falling upon the just and unjust;” with faith and hope burning unquenchably in the popular heart ; with pledges kept and oaths sacred, and returning good for evil, and reviling not again, the old Empire State lifts again her head amid the sisterhood of States, “Patient of toil, serene amidst alarms, Inflexible in faith, invincible in arms.” For she is not conquered yet, and while her heart never was in the war of secession, 3'et woo to traitors, and woe to treason, when Audrew Johnson shall re arm her veterans for the final battles of the Consti tution. Human liberty is seldom advanced through blood, and rather than punish the miserable people who recoiled so often from the front of Lee, wo would stretch our charity so far as to believe them as igno rantly innocent as those who crucified the Humanity of God, and included in that canon of Divine mercy : “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.” But Georgia, having done all she was asked to do, will do no more, nor will she long allow traitors to close the doors that shut in the rights of the old covenant of 3 770. Let us trust Johnson, the Constitution, and the God of our fathers— “ There is life in the old land yet.” Tho great commercial centres of the North, the vast West, and the not yet hum bled South, have all a common interest, and the greenback vitality of Thad Stevens' Pennsylvania Iron Works, and Yankee manufactories, and New England codfish, will not forever control the true interests and free trade instincts of the nation ; and puritan traitors who trade in treason, will find as Hainan did, that gallows often bear fruit, not contemplated by the builders. “Ve millions who toil in the South or the North, Ye with hands strong as one, and hearts of true worth; Wipe the sweat from your brows, look aloft and behold, On the sweeping West wind there's a banner un rolled. Not an inch of that flag but was purchased by strife, Not a thread in its woof but was won by a life. ’Tie your hope, your last hope, while it floats there shall be A land nndivided, a race that is free. And woe to the fee, who by discord or war. Would quench on our banner the beams of a star; Tho* his hand be ns iron, his heart made so hold, As to break the strong band that was woven of old, Ut him heed web the sequel; our banner el blue. Hat stripes for the traitor, as stare for the true; And the sun shall not shine on the moon that shall see, Diutnembeml or conquered, the flag of the free.” Bui I’m wandering tos far into the stormy way of polities, and will 1 seek more pleasant themes. I have seen Alexander H. Stephens since hit return, aud the little human boat that beers his precious life still float’s on Time’s unequal tide, defiant of all things, save truth and God. His prophetic eye and un bending soul are safe guides not only for his own life boat, but for the great ships of s.tate, and the pilots yet steer as of old, by a compass ami star. The compass is the Constitution, and the star—bright as that of Bethlehem—is Hope. His life-boat may strand against tho headlands of eternity, before the old ship of state roaches her yet distant goal ; but the great beacon of that far shore throws its steady light across the black waters of her path, aud abovo the heads of the angels who guard the light, floats the great banner of the future, in scribed, *'The Bight* of Man” Should prophetic hope sing untrue, and tho great ship go down, let the angels of God build a tomb on the “other shore,” and inscribe on its tablet three worthy names : Stephens, Johnson, tho Constitution. I recently visited your beautiful oity, and was greatly pleased with one of its institu tions of learning. I refer to St. Mary’s Convent, on Telfair street, near tho new Catholic Church. As an institution, blend ing proper firmness, with kindness and love; where Sisters with music in their souls, teach music to tho lips and fingers; where scienco puts off her frown, and learning grows a pleasant thing; wheye the children of the rich pay but little, and orphan girls stay free; where holy women stay to teach, or only go forth in pairs to minister to the sick and the poor. All this commends the Sisterhood to the lovers of their race and the friends of childhood, even when the ob server, like the subscriber, worships God under the sanctuary of a less ancient church, or does not look to the “Seven Hills” for the head of his faith on earth, nor seek to blend tho intercessions of (he Virgin Mary and tho glorious saints, with his own im perfect prayers. I was delighted with the spunk of your new Mayor, in refusing the use of the city cemetery for Bryant’s minstrels and his portable perfume. Perhaps when President Johnson investigates the private and official conduct of some of these speculators upon negro credulity and national authority, they may get into the cemetery by the full con sent of the Mayor and the whole communi ty. I counsel all our people to refrain from violence, for the arm of the National Gov ernment is long enough, and strong enough, to reach all such people. We must not stain our honor, even to crush an insect As for the Union soldiers, the same women who decorated our graves, nursed and fed them through the sickness of the hospitals wrote their letters to the loved ones at bnm®, divided with them, and their own childrer, the few luxuries left in this blockaded land; told them of heaven and God in life’s last battle; and gave them graves in the same enclosure with our fathers and our children, when they died in the land of enemies Bring flowers if ye will, oh ! new born friends of the negroes tee raised and fed ; for it is wise to try thus to appease the ghosts of Northern men who fell in your unholy cru sade; but when you tell to the widows and orphans of the North, that you have at this late day, sought the graves of their honored dead, trill yon tell them trho were nearest those Northern soldiers when they died? Who gave up churches to give them shelter, and forgetting rape and fire and murder, ministered to them as Southern women al ways do, to the suffering, whether friend or foe? Strew flowers on their dust, oh! crew, for ye made them die ! As for tho negroes, there is a grave yard just beyond where we have given sacred sepulcher to their dead, and in spite of all the Puritans in New England, they will reverence ours. Those boys whose graves we adorned wore the playmates of these negroes; they were nursed and cared for by faithful blacks ; they were as dear to the black people as to their own mothers; the lips now cold in death, were kissed by colored people when they were children. their hands never refused to grasp black ones, when they were grown; and when they were buried the tears that wet tho sod, were as much from tbo eyes of loving ser vants, as from their own kindred. Do you think you could take negroes there to insult our dead? They would only kneel and pray! I love Augusta, my old homo, its true people and its big hearts. Love it because God has embroidered earth right there, with beautiful women, and strewn children among its homes, as if a breeze had swayed the trees of Paradise and shaken down the buds. I love the comfort of its winter firesides, and even the sultry indolence of its summers. Love its gardens, and its sweet flowers, that seem to hold “a soul in every leaf.” Love its old churches and its Christian people; and better than all, the unwavering patriot ism that clings all the closer to the South, in that her starry cross is furled forever,and her empire in the dust. Let rights slumber and evil men have power, and poverty* and sorrow only rule; but while tho flowers are lovely and the sunbeams bright, and the blood of heroes’ throbbing in our veins, the Southern heart will keep its faith in God. “When some great hope breaks under us, Or loved ones prove unjust. Or roused from starry dreams we find, Our pillow in the dust: Then let us turn in weariness Toward the grassy way, Where sky-larks tench us how to sing, And ring-doves how to pray; And where the melodies of peace, That float above the sod; All bring back hope and happiness, With the sweet trust in God.” Novissimus.

IN THE YEAR IS2O, A P art y huntsmen, somposed of twenty-eight riflemen from Ken tucky, set sail in a sloop for the land of Borneo. After a perilous voyage of ton days, more or less, they embarked on Bor neo’s “foam capped shore,” and proceeded to pitch their tents. Scarcely had the last peg been driven home, when they were startled by an immense noise, which emo nated from a jungle in the immediate neigh borhood, that resembled thunder. Con sternation and alarm was momentarily de picted upon every face, save that of James Camioux Brnxbtt Boone, a son of Daniel Boone, who, with a love for adventures in herited from his father, bade the party seize their rifles and “ follow where he dared to lead.” Over the adjoining hills, and deep into the jungle penetrate these brave and intrepid Kentuckians, until they discovered an ANIMAL of HUGE DIMEN SIONS, resembling in some respects the BUFFALO, and not unlike the KEN TUCKY STEER. Tho order woe given to fire, and the report of twenty-eight rifles awoke thousands of torpid reptyes from their slumbers, whose hissing was similar to those which words of “truth are sup posed to create in (be infernal regions. ’’ Then, indeed, the combat was fierce and wild. After nine days of terrific battle the monster succumbed to Boone and his companions. His horns were 22 feet in length, and wbgn he was exhibited at the Kentucky Fair, in 1838, he weighed fI.OOO pounds. He lias taken ID medals, which are now on exhibition in this city. Was purchased in January, 1866, by Mr. Wing, who, in consequence ot tho high price of corn, was compelled to kill him. He weighed, after being butchered, 4,600 pounds, and was purchased by MR. 11. B.
