DEGENERACY.
BY HBNIir VROVERB.
In olden time 'twns counted wealth
To wed the virgin soil.
And reap the fruits in joy and health,
Remunerating toil.
'Tivas then the man the green turf broke,
Tc gain his daily bread.
And sbe, who bore the equal yoke,
Was by her labor fed.
He plied with vigorous strokes his axe;
Fell trees around his hovel;
ADd pr.td to God ids natural tax—
His friends—the hoe aud shovel.
Aud she—prime source of all his weal,
Was worthy of the name
Of wife; and by her loom and wheel,
No pledges left of shauie.
And there w as one thing—best of all—
That blest their peaceful hearth,.
It was the spirit, festival
Which sprang from natural worth.
Those days have fled—of happy scenes :
Degenerate sons and daughters,
Now sow their bread by artful means
On Life’s most turbid waters !
For want of thrift, the fanner stares
At fields o’er-grown with thistles;
Or reads the freaks of -“Bulls and Bears,”
In Wild-Cat Stock Epis.les!”
When sought for by a visitor,
His foreign “aid” pretacos
His speech—“Och, plane your'honor, sir,
The Giritilman’s at the Races !
“And Misstress, out of ’health, has fled
To Calistuga Springs.
To cure a brainless, aching head,
Aud other evil things
The swine locate in garden walk.
The cattle roam afield;—
A negligence from stubborn stock
Has an enormous yield.
Do! puny sons of stalwart!) sires,
Where is your sense of shame?
Increase your patriotic fires,
Or drop your country’s name.
I want no beggars at my gate
Imported from abroad,
Who cures the deeds of Church and State,
Deny the living God !
No—to a freeman’s rights I cling,
Nor call my guest a lord ;
Nor will I bend my back—a king—
To servitude ablior’d !
I am not held in vassalage—
To Nature’s gifts I am heir;
Nor creeds of party power shall guage
The freedom ot my prayer.
A worker on thy fair domain—
America! to thee—
I pledge the willing hand and braio,
And swear to ever he free !

Swo jEVTontlis’ Experience in Military
Confinement.
Editor of the Constitutionalist;
Your notice of me n,n<1 my trial by
the military authorities inducts me to
make public a short statement ot a bit
ter experience of military arrests.
On the night of the 20th of April last,
a soldier was killed in a negro house of
ill-lame in Warrenton ; this was dur
ing the election. I had been engaged
all J hat day at the store of H. Martin ;
at 9 o’clock I went to my room where
1 usually slept, and at about 11 or 12
o’clock that night a soldier4;ame to the
door, where myself .and two other citi
zens were sleeping, and demanded en
trance; the door was opened and the
first salutation was, “one of you move
and I will blow j’ourG—d d—d brains
outa musket was presented and
cocked at our heads. I was ordered to
get up and dress. I demanded the
cause, and the reply was, ‘ You will
find out at the Court-house.” I was
conducted lo the Court-house ami plac
ed under a strong guard in a room.
Still no information of the cause of my
arrest. Soon after the body of the de
ceased soldier was brought in and laid
by my side. This and conversations
heard induced me to suspect the cause
of my arrest. Next morning a coro
ner’s jury was summoned, as I was in
formed. 1 was kept in confinement
during the whole examination in anoth
er room, and not allowed to see friends
our counsel except in the presence of
an officer. Two lying negroes, of bad
character, were the witnesses against
me, and no counsel allowed to be pres
ent to cross-examine them. Under
what influences those witnesses were
induced to swear away the life of an
innocent man, I have not been able to
learn.
On the 2Sth following, I was carried
by railroad to Milledgeville under
guard, and then put iu a low damp
room in the basement of the old Mc-
Cotnb’s Hotel, at d then, by the order
of Capl. Knapp, adjuiant commanding
the post, manacles were put upon my
legs. In the room were placet! four or
five soldiers under arrest; they attack
ed me, kicked me, abused and blooded
me, until I was rescued by the sergeant
of the guard. 1 was informed that ap
plication was made to Gen. Meade for
a transfer to the civil authorities, prom
ising to let me be sent to prison or to
be released on bail, and also to apply
to Judge Reese to call a special term
of the Court for my trial, which was
refused. I learned that after the refu
sal, a day was set for my trial in Mil
ledgeville—on the 12th day of May—
without notice to me or ivy couiifel.
This order was countermanded, and I
was ordered in irons to Atlanta for trial.
On the loth day ot May, two days
after noiiee to my counsel, I was march
ed ou foot, with- shackles on, from the
new barracks to the city, about a mile
or more distant, to the court. There I
was arraigned iu irons, and plead not
fmiUv. Justice to a humane officer,
Maj. Braylon, commander of the bar
racks, compels nie to say that he caus
ed my irons to be removed, and, they
were never put on me any more. The
room I was confined in was a smalt,
narrow cell, with but one small open
ing to it; ihe heat and stench of a sink
within a few feet of my door made the
confinement almost intolerable. I w^s,
however, allowed to consult my coun
sel here, and receive provisions from
my friends at home.
For twenty days afier the trial be
gan, 1 was confined there, being march
ed by my guard every day to the court
for trial. The court consisted of Gen.
Saxton, Col. Swinney, Col. Sullivan,
Major Bray ton and Major Maley—ot
them I have not one word of complaint
to make: they gave me lime for trial,
and after a fair trial found me not guil
ty. In the mean lime the negro wit
nesses against me were, from first to
last, in military custody, tin bis to be
tampered with and induced to swear
against me. What I suffered is only-
known to myself and God.
All this arrest, without affidavit or
warrant, and suffering and trial ended
in acquittal, showing that this loss of
liberty was not only without authority
of law, but wrong in f-et. I will add
dint this arrest and imprisonment was
made with a free knowledge of the
facts, and which was proven on ihe tri
al, that l was about 300 yards from the
placed killing when it took place, in
lied and asleep, and that it was noi
possible for rae to have been there.
At one lime during my confinement in
Warrenton, I was guarded by a citi
zen of the town, who was my enemy
and who pressed a negro man with a
gon into the service, to aid him in pre
venting my escape! This task was no
doubt a pleasant one to ihe White man
but an unpleasant one to the poor ne
gro who could not refuse. These state
ments arc all true, and will not be de
nied; if they ate, they can be estab
lished to Lhe satisfaction of every one
who has a feeling for the oppresed.

The Mammoth Trees of California.—
About ninety-seven miles from Sacra
mento City, in a gently sloping, heavy
timbered valley, are the largest and
tallest trees in the world. It is right
ly called the Mammoth Tree Grove.
One of ihese giants of the forest was
felled, not by chopping it down, hut
by boring it off with pump augers, and
| it employed five, men twenty-;wo days
constantly at work to effect it. its
(height was 320 feet, and its eircumfer-
'enceat the ground was 97 feet. Upon
the stump, on the 4th of Julv, thirty-
two persons were engaged in dancing
four sets of cotillons at one time.
The bark was eighteen inches in
thickness, which gave it a diameter of
over thirty feet. But monstrous as
were the dimensions of this tree, at a
short distance from it, it has the pros
trate and majestic body of a still larg-
|erotic..' This is known as the Father
[of the Forest. It is now" half buried in
fbe soil. It measures in circumfer
ence one hundred and ten feet: it was
A Romantic Love Story.—The
Count de St. Croix, belonging to o.-ie
of the noblest and wealthiest families
in France, became engaged, alter a
long and assiduous courtship, to a lady, i
his equal in position and fortune, and
famous lor her beantv. »Shortly after
the happy day was appointed which
was to render two loving hearts one,
the Count was ordered immediately to
the siege of Sebastopol; so he girded
on bis sabre, and at the head of his re
giment. marched to the battle-field.
During the Count’s absence, it hap
pened that his beautiful fance had the
small-pox; afie.i hovering between life
and death for several days, she recov
ered her health, but found her beauty
hopelessly lost.
'Cite disease had assumed in her
case the most virulent character, and
left her not only disfigured but seamed
and scarred to such a frightful extent
that she became hideous to herself, and
resolved to pass ihe remainder of her
days in the strictest seclusion. A year
passed away, when, one day, the
Count, immediately upon his return to
France, accompanied by his valet, pre
sented himself at the residence of his
betrothed and solicited an interview.
This was refused, lie, however, with
the persistence of a lover, pressed his
suit, and finally the lady made her ap
pearance closely muffled in a double
veil. At the sound of her voice liie
Count rushed forward to embrace her,
but stepping aside, she tremblingly
told him the story of her sorrows and
burst into Lears.
A heavenly smile broke over the
Count’s handsome features, as raising
his hands above lie exclaimed : “It is
God’s work ; l am blind.” It was ev
en so. When gallantly leading his re
giment lo the attack, a cannon ball
passed so closely to his eyes that,
while it left their expression unchang
ed, and his countenance uomarked, it
robbed him forever of sight. It is al
most unnecessary to add that their
marriage was shortly after solemnized.
It is said that at this day may be often
seen at the Emperor’s receptions an
officer leaning upon the arm of a lady
closely veiled ; and they seem to be
attracted to the spot by their love of
music.
Alt. About a Goose.—The follow
ing incident took place the other day.
the neighbors and the mother was
standing by Lhe side of the supposed
corpse, the uoor which had bt.cn left
open, blew shut with a loud noise,
which bad the effect o! so acting upon
the girl as u> bring her to and set her
life blood in ryotion. tjbe sprang up
in bed, and throwing her arms around
her mother’s neck, wept tears of joy
over her escape from the horrid death
of being buried alive.
Our reporter yesterday- visited the
bouse aud was granted an interview
with the young lady, whom he found
silting up by the window, apparently
as happy as the birds, to whose music
she was listening to when she entered
the room. • •
THE YOUNG lady’s STORY.
Miss White said that when she felt
herself 1 sinking she had no fear of death,
but turned-upon her skip, and as she
did so all pain disappeared, and she
sank to sleep as peacefully as a child.
She lay, she thinks, unconscious for an
hour or more, for when she came to
herself, though she could net move or
speak, she found that she was laid out
ready lor burial. She could see her
mother by her side, and all those who
came to see her; could hear them talk
ami understand all they said. She
tried to speak to them, but. her tongue
refused to do its office; she tried to
move, but could not not, -and there she
lav, blessing her mother lor her refusal
to allow- her to be buried. Upon two
occasions, when her mother was alone
in the room with her, it seemed as
though she left the body, and standing
by the side of her body, could look
down upon it as she could upon her
mother. She said she was unable to
describe the feelings that she expe
rienced upon those occasions. When
not tortured with the fear of being
buried alive, she was perfectly at rest,
and- happy, and when the door slam
med, which brought her to, it seemed
as though she was, to use her own
words, “compelled to commence a hard
day’s work.”
Miss White is now in a fair wav to (hat word. Peace T Peace
recover. Ker strength is gaining rap
idly, and from every indication, we
should judge that she had a long life
before her. •
WELL* PUT,
The New York Courier gives utter
ance, in the following pointed remarks,
to eertain truths, which we of the South
know to be so from the sad lessons
taught by military despotism and Rad
ical misrule:
“Peace ! Peace !—General Grant
in his letter of acceptance says‘ ‘Let
us have peace.’ Certainly—by all
means. Why don’t we? We don’t ask
for the military satrap and Freedmen’s
Bureau despotism. Instead of them—
let us have peace. We don’t ask to
have two millions of whites disfran
chised that five hundred thousand
blacks may rule. Let us have peace.
We don’t ask to have New England
rule the whole country, at the Cost of
no matter what expense of money or
blood. Let us have peace. We don’t
ask for a large standing army, that
home guard political Major Generals
may wear two stars orriheir shoulders.
Lei us have peace. We don’t ask to
have the national faith, pledged to our

A Horrible Plaything—An Adder
Pelted by a Little Child.—We copy the
following from a Dubuque paper:
“Wc have often read ot children and ,
venomous snakes playing together, but ■
knowledged the goose. Sunday, being
the day of discovery, the gentleman
found her making the usual prepara
tions lo attend church, when the fol
lowing dialogue took place: .«•

covery is impossible, till the master

water, which precipitates th'e silver
from the solution, and then by melting
and hammering the metal, lie. restores
it to its original shape.
The celebrated Dr. Brown, of Eng
land, used this same epilogue in one of
his popular works, and a skeptic—nne
of whose great stumbling ^blocks was
the resurrection—was so struck with
its force that he ultimately renounced
his opposition to the gospel, and be
came a partaker of the Cluislian hope
of immortality. This converted skep
tic died, trusling in hi* Saviour, only
six months after Dr. Brown, was m-
| terred in the same burying ground, and,
by a coincidence altogether undesigned,
he was laid near Dr. Brown’s grave—
immediately at his feet.

ran into the house and told the servant
girl to run out and see her sister who
was playing with a big snake. The
servant thought nothing of it, and con
tinued her work. In a few minutes
the child again besought her logo right
out, for the snake was hissing at ‘sis
sy.’ The girl went out and was struck
speechless and made to grow pale!—
Ou the brick wall near the front gate
sat the little child, laughing at and pat
ting a huge snake on the bead !
The snake was coiled up like a spi
ral spring, and with elevated head and
protruding fangs, was allowing the
child to play with i*. It was a black
ish monster, streaked and spotted with
green. When the child would cease
patting it, the snake would strike at the
iiltle one’s hand, and stiffen as prepar
ing to jump at. the child. Then the
little one would lap its head, and it
would lower its head and remain pas
sive. The servant stood for a moment
unable to say a word. At last she
shrieked for Mrs. Lieben, who came
out. She also was seized with terror,
but wailed only a second before she
seized her child and bore iL away. A
lady who resides next door, alarmed
by the servant girl’s cries, had now ar
rived upon the scene. Before the snake
uncoiled itself, she threw a brick at it,
which struck upon its head and stunned
it. A man who was passing by then
stepped inr and killed, the snake. It
measured thirty-eight inches in length,
and was of the kind known as the house
adder, the bite or sting of which is said
to be terribly poisonous. The child
had a narrow escape from an awful
death.”

One of the most remarkable cases
that we have ever been called upon lo
chronicle has lately come under our no
tice, and wc propose to lay the facts
before the public exactly as they are:
On Lorain street, above Jersey, there
resides with her step father a young
lady, Miss Ellen K. Whitt?, who is
probably between seventeen and eigh
teen years of age, very prepossessing
in her manner, and very finely educa
ted. About six weeks ago she was
taken dangerously ill with what the
family physician pronounced typhoid
fever, and for some days was so low
that all hopes of her recovery were
given up.
She rallied, however, and under
careful nursing aud skillful treatment,
she was in a fair way to recover, when
about two weeks ago, she had a relapse,
and sank rapidly, until the breath seem
ed to leave her body, and she was pro
nounced a corpse. Her body was pre
pared tor the grave, and preparations
were made by her bereaved parents
and friends for lhe funeral, when her
mother, who could not be made to re
alize ihe fact that her only daughter
was dead lo her forever, noticed “that
though Lhe limbs of her daughter were
rigid, Vet the body resumed its warmth.
Physicians were called, but they de
cided that she was dead, and every
attempt to resuscitate her failing, it
was determined, last Sunday to con
sign her to the grave, and a coffin was
procured. On Saturday, while oue of
ing man in the country. It is the
purpose anil expectation of these Radi
cal conspirators to control the Presi
dential election per fas avt. vrfa.s. They
intend, we hear, to efect a President
by the House of Representatives, re
gardless of the popular choice, throw
ing out votes at discretion where they
find them adverse, especially from the
South. In all these States they will
fabricate votes from spurious electors,
and the purpose is that the present
House of Representatives shall have
the practical control of the matter. In
case of a legitimate expression of the
popular choice, they do not count on
victory; and by the aid of the House
of Representatives and the regular ar
my they think to control the matter.
' General Grant is to be elected by the
! House, and by his sword is to usurp
the office of President from the duly
elected candidate of the people. Such
is the prospect before us, if these eon-
spiratois shall not be taught to quail
before their designs are consummated.

Who Move Dxs Well.—A wag
once attended a nigger ball and noticed
that the mokes made frequent visits to
a well back of the house to refresh
themselves after a spell of dancing;
Being a Christian of much humor, with
out the fear of lhe civil rights biil be
fore his eyes> he moved the well curb a
few feet beyond and awaited the issue
with the “serene calmness that a Chris
tian feels in four aces.” Presently
there came a dark being who made fur
the curb and sloshed into the well,
where bis heels stuck io the mud—and
he yelled : “Gorry, who moved dis well
since I’se been out here last!”

It is heated by steam and hot water
pipes, which in ail are six miles in
length. The apparatus consumes 000
tons ofcoal a year. There are banana
trees 20 Ieet high, with clusters of fruit,
sugar cane, coffee trees., bamboos, and,
in short, every tropical plant that can
be named. Several of the palm trees
are feotn 50 to GO feet high. The
smoke of the immense fire underneath is
carried in pipes underground to an out
