WM ROGERS, Act’g Master of Transportation. February 1, 16/0 5 tf NOTICE- it “ GO, FEEL WHAT I HAVE FELT.” [A young lady of New York was in the habit o: writing for-the PhiladriphiaLedger on the subjec: of Temperance. Her wiitiugs evinced such deej emotion, that a friend of hers accused hor of being a maniac on the subject of Temperance, whereup ca sho wrote the following stanzas:] Go, feel what I have felt, Go, bear what 1 have borne— Sink 'neath the blows a father dealt, And the cold world's scorn ; The sufferer on from year to year— The sol9 relief the scalding tear. Go, kneel where I have knelt, Implore, beseech and pray— Strive the besotted heart to melt, The downward course to stay ; Be dashed with bitter curse aside, Your prayers burlesqued, your tears defied. Go, weep as I have wept, O'er a luved father's fall— See every promised blessing swept— Youth's sweetness turned to gail— Life’s fading flowers strewn all the way That brought me to woman’s day Go, see what I have seen, Behold the strong man bow— With gnashing teeth, lips bathed in blood, A cold and livid brow . Go, catch bis withering glance, aud sec There mirrored his soul’s misery. Go hear, and feel, and sot. aud know, All that my soul hath felt and known : Then look upon the wine-cup’s glow, See if its beauty can atone— Think if its flavor you will try When all proclaims, “tis drink and die!" Tell me I hate the bowl— Hate is but a feeble word 1 loathe—abhor—my very soul With strong disgust is stirred Whene’re I see. or hear, or tell ()f that dark beverage of hell.

You see yourself that she d low s’ no other suitors to accompany door without knocking, and the two entered. The woman was dress ed neatly and so were the children, but they were all dressed very poorly, in keeping with the place. The man was dressed more carelessly, and even more poorly. On his head he her. Don’t you see that she is alone, j kept his hat, which was certainly full half a dozen years old. “ My husband, Mr. Man well,; my father and mother, brothers and sis lers,” said Mrs. Manwell, introdecing all parties. Manwell stood and stared without speaking. Ask their pardon, George,” said Mrs. Manwell, “ for running away with me.” “ Who are they ?” “ Have I not told you, didn’t I intro duce you ? ” “ Who were those at the watering place ?” “Some wealthy v people, wh» had seen me at the milliner’s where I sewed for a livelyhrod—served my trade, George,” said Mrs. Manwell,— “ and fancied my appearance, dressed me up and took me with them.” “ You jest!” “Do I? No, ii deed ! These people seemed to recognize me as a daughter and sister. Jest, indeed ! \ou will find (hat out!” “You are too cultivated, too tasteful and too fine featured !” “ All this,” said Mrs. Manwell, “ a milliner may he, or a sewing girl.— Look for yourself among the class. Is it not true? All thaL we girls need is dress.” Mr. Manwell lifted his fist and dash- >r with the girls most of the lime ?” “ Her heart is lull of vanity.” “Pshaw! She is tied to luxurious notions, that’s all.” Manwell’s trunk was awaiting him, and liie stage outside, on the piazza, at the time this conversation was go ing on. On the trunk were his initials, ‘ G. M.’ Miss Elsworth passing that way, saw the initials—not by chance, for she had been very busy scrutinizing be trunks that lay together in a pile— aud when she saw the initials she start ed and turned pale. She recovered herself, and withdrew with her compan ions a little way, and then stood still and watched. Soon Manwell came onl with Ned upon the piazza. He chanced to turn his eyes towards her, and their eyes met—met for the first time since she had left him while lie was at work upon the lock. She did not .turn her eyes. She bowed. He proacbed her and bid her good-bye. What the conversation was that en sued between the two when they were left alone, by means of Ned’s ingenuity in spiriting awaV the rest of the com pany, is unknown save the following : “ But I am a lock-smith,” said Man- well. “ No matter.” “ Are you willing to live the wile of one who with his hands earns his daily bread ?” “ 1 am willing to undergo anything to be with you. 1 have suffered enough.

The planter will be very heedless who fails, in forecasting the future, to take into account the heavy taxes and the general demorali zation of agricultural labor which in all human probability are before us. But we will take the condition as it now exists and express the conviction that there is little or no truth in the declaration o! the New York Tribune, that “if the South can simply go on as she is going, for ten years longer, she ivil) be more prosperous than she ever yet has been.” On the contrary, we fear that Georgia, at least, is becoming poorer instead of richer at this mo ment. Last year, at this time, we were getting tweirty**fx cents a pound for cotton and paying a dollar and eight cents for corn. This year we are get ting twenty-one cent3 for cotton and paying one dollar and thirty-five cents for corn. Last year we had not ex pended more than fifty percent, of our present costs and indebtedness for fer tilizers, and we all know that our debts are generally heavier this spring than last spring. Last year we paid less for labor than we have engaged to pay this year. Now, taking these facts into consid eration,let us inquire into our assets. What is our surplus from last year’s crop—have we got anything left after last years debts are paid, or shall we have any remainder when we have paid those debts ? Can we disguise from ourselves] the fact that every midsummer finds us bare of money, 'in water. The first two classes of en amels are comparatively harmless, as harmless as any other while dirt when plastered over the skin to close the pores and prevent its healthy action.

NUMBER VII. Editors Telegraph and Messenger : One of the most curious features in the history of railways in Georgia, is the part played by our cities in recard to the connections ot the tracks ot separ ate lines within their corporate limits. 4 The policy pursued in this respect lias been short sighted, narrow and illiber al to the last degree. Our cities have all made commendable efforts to at tract produce to their markets ; but they have, at the same time, done what they could to obstruct its cheap and rapid transit and removal to its legiti mate destination. They have indeed, j by their refusal to permit tl;e co: uec- lionot railway lines within their limits imposed a heavy lax upon the produce and business of i lie country, and have thereby inflicted much injury upon the people. A brief reference to the action of each one of our cities in the matter j here referred to, will not prove uniu- i teresting In accordance with the request of j the Mayor and. Council of Macon, a ! public meeting of citizens was held in that city on the 22ud of July, 1S-3G, and a series of resolutions adopted iu regard to the entrance of the Monroe (now Macon and Western) railroad in fo the corporate limits. The resolu tion. in emphatic terms, declared it to be “the sense of this meeting that the entrance ot said road into the corpor ate limits of this city will have a direct ten per cent man at last.
