RtMir Mketiki: Pquc Couktt.—
A relief meeting was held in Polk
county on the 4th of tho present month.
A committee was appointed to prepare
resolutions setting forth tho opinion of
the people upon the question of relief to
the people of the State.
The committee reported that, in con
sideration of the faerthat the “present
drought throughout the State has pat it
entirely ont of (he power of the people
to psy any part ot their indebtedness,
and oar last Legislature failed to giro
relief, hot, on the contrary, established
anew court of litigation, called the
.“County Court,” which has added an
other harden to she already distressed
community, His Excellency, the Gov
ernor, be requested to call the Legisla
ture together for the purpose of passing
such a stay-law as will ghre relief to the
people, and to provide means whereby
the indigent may be properly cared fbr.“
The Polkites invite the people in
every county in the State to take steps
similar to those taken by themselves,
and they recommend that, in the event
th# Governor and Legislature fail to
give relief, the people of every county in
the State choose delegates to a conven
tion to relieve themselves.
An amendment was offered to strike
out the words “stay law” and insert “re
pudiation,” if constitutional, and if not,
“an extension of the stay-law.”
After considerable discussion, it was
adopted by a large majority.
Capt. Johx C. II ’.ain.—Associated
Press dispatches of the 17th, say that
John C. Brain, who headed the party
which seized the steamer Chesapeake
during the war, has been arrested in
New York, charged with having mur
dered the engineer of the ’steamer, at
the time of capture.
Mr. Brain will be remembered by
our citizens as the gentleman who cam
vassed this State, recently, for the pur
pose of obtaining advertisements and
facts for a Georgia Directory, which
was to have been published at Savan
nah,
New Post-Office in Charleston.—
The Courier says that a lease has been
taken of the building in Hasel -street,
near Meeting, known as the Lecture
Room of the Third Presbyterian Church,
and is now engaged in having it re
paired for anew Post-Office. The se
lection is a good one, combining the ad
vantages of a central location, and quiet
and retired neighborhood.
The Case of H. Rives Pollard.—
The case of the Commonwealth of Vir
ginia vs. H. Rives Pollard, assault and
battery, was tried in the Hustings Court
at Richmond last Saturday. The jury
failed to agree upon a verdict. It is un
derstood that the jury were ten for
acquittal and two for conviction. Mr.
Pollard was then released on bail.
. Agricultural Societies. —We are
gratified to see that our farmers are
awaking to their true interests, and or
ganizing Agricultural Societies. Rich
mond County, other counties in Geor
gia, and Florida, are moving in the
matter, and will, we hope, not flag in
the good work. It is afar better invest
ment than politics.
Newspaper Change.— Mr. E. Wal
lace Davis, of this State, has purchased

Fixed Their Price. —A number of
Methodist Protestant Ministers belong
ing to the Ohio Conference held a
meeting recently, and resolved not to
accept appointments for the year, unless
assurance was given that their salary
would not be less than SI,OOO.
Cheering Intelligence from Cali
fornia. —Indications are that the Con
servatives will carry the day iu the “land
of gold.” A majority of the counties
heard from give a majority for the
friends of the Administration.
Hoi for Arkansas.— The freedmen
in and around Columbus are consulting
together upon the practicability of mov
ing to Arkansas. Bureau agents have
counselled with them, advising them to
adopt the suggestion.
A Forthcoming History. —General
A. P. Alexander is preparing a history
of the First Corps of the Army of
Northern Virginia. He is in possession
of General Longstreet’s war papers, and
will be able to present a reliable work
on the subject chosen.
MEAL, Etc.
Evening. —Thee*.are two periods in
the life of man, in which the evening
hour is peculiarly interesting—youth
and old age. J,n youth we love its mel
low moonlight, its million stars, its
soothing shades and sweet sereitity.
Amid < thesa pceuqs « coujrfHtie V'fth
those Vb loke, Vnd 1 twine the wreath ot
fri£6dAhip,vithtte there akfc none to wit
ness but the gorgeous heaven, and the
spirits that hold their endless Sabbath
them. We hook abroad on creatioe,
spread in the slumber of a moonlight
soene arouud, and wrapped in contem
plation, fancy we see and hear the
waving wings and melting songs of other
and purer worlds. It accords with the
light floW of youthful spirits, the fer
vency of saucy, aud the soft feelings of
the heart •'
Evening is also delightful to virtuous
old age. It affords hours of undisturbed
thought. It seems an emblem of the
calm and tranquil close of a busy life,
serene and mild, with the impress of its
great Creator stamped upon it It
spreads its quiet wings over the grave,
and seems to promise that all shall be
peace bevond it.

Milch Cows in Demand. —We un
derstand that there is a lively demand
hereabouts, for milch cows. Persons
in the country, pasticniarly those be
yond the Savannah, having such to dis
pose of, uiay find it to their interest to
test this market.
A New Masonic Temple. —The por-:
ner stone of the new Masonic Temple,

The President to be Impeached.—
A Boston correspondent of the National
Intelligencer writes: “I have learned
here that Mr. Boutwell, who is good
authority on this point, has given as
surances that articles of impeachment
will be offered, and carried by the
House at the next session.”
Yellow Fever in Florida.— Late
Pensacola advices say that a vessel has
arrived from Cuba, having on board
twenty-three cases of yellow fever, with
nine deaths. She was quarantined, and
several attempts made by citizens to
burn her, with her crew, which was un
successful.

no place for women to be here ! I do wish
he would fall and break his I do.”
