PACE, AVOOD A ROGERS, South side of Square, Covington, Ga- COVINGTON GA., JULY 1860 “ 91 y Life is Like the Summer Rose.” My life is like the summer rose That opens to the morning sky, But ere tho shades of evening close Is scattered on the ground to die. Vet on that rose's humble bed The sweetest dews of night are shed, As if she wept such waste to see; But none shall weep a tear for mo. My life is like tho summer leaf That trembles in tho moon’s pale ray— Its hold is frail, its date is brief, Restless and soon to pass away. Yet, ere that leaf shall fall and fade Tho parent tree shall mourn its shade, Tho winds bewail the leafless tree; But none shall breathe a sigh for mo. My life is like the prints whieh feet Have left on Tampa’s desert strand— Soon as the rising tide shall beat, All trace will vanish from tho sand. Yet, as if grieving to efface All vestige of the human race, On that lone shore loud moans the sea ; But none, alas! shall mourn for me. The Lying, Humbugging New York Tri bune. There is not a week passes, says the New York Day Book, that we do not nail to the counter some bold, unblushing lie emanating from the Tribune. Last week it published quite a list of “poor men of New York who pay no income.” The next day nearly half tho gentlemen whose names appeared under that caption, reported to that journal and sev eral others that they had paid incomes. The Tribune, then, as an excuse for its willful lie, stated that it had paid liberally for its infor mation, and supposed it was true. But if the Tribune has howled for anything, or pretend ed to favor anything in this world, it is “pro tection to domestic industry.” Old White Coat has bawled himself hoarse, and writton him self into spasms, upon the necessity of “pro tecting home labor.” Now let us nail this lie to the counter —let us show the great world tho insincerity of that veteran political hum hug, Horace Greeley. We have noticed, on several occasions, foreign printing paper pass ing into the press-room of the Tribune, and on July 16th we saw another large lot of for eign paper going into that establishment for the protection-supporters of the New York Tribune to read “protection” articles upon! Now, wo ask the readers of that sheet how much longer they are to allow Horace Greeley to fool them with his political and domestic pro tection twaddle? He does not mean what he writes, and neither Carrie* out his mongrel nor his protection doctrines. He will, to-day, buy his printing paper where he can buy cheapest, and pay his money to foreign paper makers, while, at the same time, ho is writing up “protection to native industry” to humbug his supporters. Rub it in, Horace; c»am the brains of your .-tupid readers with anything that will sell your journal, whether true or false. They like to bo cheated, and you are just the boy that can do it. Rhyming. Ones when his teacher was praying, a pupil who was an inveterate rhyiucstor, saw a rat upon'thc’stairs, and laughed aloud. After the teacher had concluded her prayer, she called the hoy forward and asked him what ho laughed for ? The urchin said : “I saw a rat upon the stairs, Coming up to hear your prayers.” She threatened to flog him if he did not im mediately make another rhyme, upon which ho quickly replied : “Here I stand before Miss Blodgett, She’s going to strike, and I shall dodge it and immediately took his seat amid the laugh* ter of the school. This reminds ns of an anecdote of Dr. Watts, to whom, when a boy, it was so natural to speak in rhyme that he could not avoid it even when he wished to. Ilia fathor, in order to break up the habit, threatened to whip him if he did not leave off making rhymes. One day when he was about to fulfill his promise, the future rhyme writer hurst into tears, and on his knees exclaimed; “Pray father, do some pity take, And I will no more verses make.” llow he violated this promiso the world knows. A Senator from one of the mountain dis tricts of Tennessee, on his arrival at Nashville to take his scat, put up at a first class hotel, when the following occurred on taking his seat at the table: Senator to servant —‘What is the victuals ?‘ Servant—“ What will you have, sir, tea or coffco?” Senator—‘Tea.’ Servant—“ What kind of tea?” Senator—“ Store tea, by g—d, do you suppose I como hero to drink sas safras ?” AVo have seen one oration of the “glorious Fourth,” which closes with the following quo tation : “Lives there a man with soul so dead, AVlio never to himself has said, This is my own, my native land?” If there is any one among us, who is not ashamed of bis native land just now, he must he a nigger, or a white man who is no better than a nigger.—Day Book. “ Tommy, my son, fetch in a stick of wood.’ “ Ah ! my dear mother,” responded the youth, “ the grammatical portion of your education has been sadly neglected. You should have said ‘ Thomas, my son, transport from that recumbeut collection of combustible material upon the threshold 6f this edifice one of the curtailed excrescences of a defunct log.' ” Southern Character. Southern character has so often been the theme of praise and admiration, even among the enemies of tho South that were it not un becoming in us, under any circumstances, to chant tho praises of our people, wo should hesitate to say aught about it hero ; but the following, from Southern Opinion, is so hopeful, so correct, and withal, so modost and brief, that wc oiler no apology for inserting it in our columns : “In the Southern character aro qualities which tho sword cannot destroy, and which will yet achieve a powerful and bloodless vic tory, more durable and glorious than any which our arms could have attained, had Leo and Johnson borne the Southern cross in tri umph over tho armies of Gen'ls, Sherman and G ran t. “The blood of our bravo tnen was not shed in- vain, and tlie tears of our widows and or phans have not watered graves destined never to bear flowers worthy of suclij a priceless sacrifice. The glories and tho rewards of our struggle ami defeat are yet to coino ; not in new wars and bloodshed, when storms of grief and suffering, fury and vengeance shall burst upon the bravest which we want to reap. It is in the hearts of our people, chastened and refined by suffering, purified and exalted by adversity, that we look for that spirit and those works whieh will write resurgam over the grave of every Confederate soldier. It matters not that “reconstruction” has been tied like a millstone around our necks, that our slaves are made our civil and political equats. The barbarians conquered Greeco and Rome, but the genius, the laws and religion of the latter ultimately subjugated the savages. The Normans conquered England—they took away the very lands. But where are the Nor mans or Norman raees now, either on the country, the language or the laws ? All bu ried, swallowed-in the sublime Saxon clement. You cannot keep down this spirit. Hack it with swords, pierce it with bayonets, crush it by legislation, attempt todegrado it by “negro equality,” but it is amoral and intellectual power in the land, and in the world which by its native inherent vigor, will ever rise, des pite all attempts to bury it. Despair not!” Is this Trcasen 7 Wo clip the following paragraph from an address delivered by Prof. M. F. Maury, at the Virginia Military Institute, to the gradua ting class of 1860 : “Are you not heirs of the lost cause, with its noble examples and memories? Its tradi tions make us vory proud. Are you not sons of tii© sunny South 1 Do you not now, in the days of your youth, tread the soil of Virginia, breathe her atmosphere, and drink at fountains from which tho bravest of men and noblest of women have drawn inspiration? In them you have examples of the most heroic fortitude and of the graces that ever arrayed themselves on the side of right. They are trumpet-tongued. Their silont teachings are far more effective with their mute eloquence than my poor powers of speech can make them. Treasure them. They are a precious legacy—heirloom of inestimable value in the eye of every true man among us.” Grant is terribly economical in his own be half, but Grant’s personal economy is costing the Government a terrible price. Grant want ed to take a little cruise with all his relatives down to Long Branch. It cost a good deal to go, and Grant could not afford to pay his pes sage like a decent man, so Grant constitutes himself a guest of the very generous Govern ment of the United States, and the United States Government orders up a fine vessel, ha3 it handsomely decorated, stowod with the most delicate provisions, and as the distinguished guest of the United States, Grant sails away in triumph, on board the Tallapoosa, and all at the expense of the United. Bon voyage, Mr. Grant.—[New York Democrat. Our colored friends have at last found out Swayze, of tho Macon American Union, and lie oan no longer deceive them by his low, cun ning artifico. Like Arnold, ho has thrown off the mask, which discovers to the colored pop ulation the most glaring and barefacod ras cality. We are not surprised at his fate who proposed to soil hNs principles for gold. Gov ernor Bullock, with all his patronage, cannot save him from the rocks and mountains of Truth, whieh arc bound to fall upon and crush him.—[New Era. A day or two since, says the Charleston News, a negro woman living at Myrtle Grove, on the Combahee river, took her child into the woods, whipped her severely, and went off. Shortly after, she called the child, and receiv ing no answer, went to the spot where sho was left, and found her dead. Magistrate Colcock held an inquest, and a verdiot was given in accordance with the above statement. A waggish Chicago editor was waited upon by a delinquent subscriber, who complained of being dunned. Pointing to a bit of flour paste beside him, with which he was making np a oolumn of paragraphs, he exclaimed tragically, “ That's my dinner for to-day ! Do you won der at being dunned ?” The subscriber didn't wonder—but paid up and mizzled. A Huge Debt. —The New Orleans Picayune says : “ The public debt of the United States amounts to more than $2 50 a minute for every minute that has elapsed, day and night, Sunday included, since the beginning of the Christian era ; or, about sis dollars an hour since the creation of the world, according to the Mosaic chronology.” Why arc your eyes like friends separated by distant climes? They correspond, but never meet. Mr. Stephens on the Future. In a recent letter, of tho 19th of June, in discussing the present condition of affairs, he says : “Thoro can bo no euro of tho disoase until its real cause is not only understood, but removed. The cause of all these late troubles in our land, and of all those gross usurpations, so to speak, is the departure of tho Govern ment from the primary laws of its existence. The only practical living issuo beforo tho peoplo of this country now, is ono between Federal Republicanism and Imperialism—Con. stitutional liberty and Monarchy. There is no middle ground ; no half-way house between them. The peoplo must choose between them, and take ono or the other side of the question. The one carries with it State sovereignty, and Constitutional liberty; the other carries with it eonßolidation and despotism. There is no hope for this country but in a thorough repu diation of the whole principle upon which the late war was inaugurated and waged against the Southern States. Tho very idea of main taining a Union of Staton by force, is perfectly paradoxical ana absurd. These are my viows, briefly and frankly ns well us earnestly given. I know and foci per fectly assured that in tlioir soundness and eorroctness lies tho only hope of constitutional liberty on, this continent. Whether the people will bo able or disposed to understand the truth and appreciate it in time to secure themselves from impending ruin or not, I, do not know.— I am exceedingly apprehensive that they will not, but that they will go on in their delusion about saying the Union and putting down the rebellion until their doom is sealed I “As Paul said to Agrippa, so I say to you, ‘Believest thou the Prophets; I know that thou believest.’ I know that you believe in tho teachings of the fathors of our republic I Then be it known to you that our only hope is their teachings! The Union is the foundation of our safety. What sort of a Union ? Tiro Union of sovereign States—which cannot bo maintained by force, but by voluntary consent, secured by justioe.” Tub Sqcaliest Baby in Town. —A friend of ours has a baby—one of the sweetest, jolliest, fattiest, loveliest, prettiest, and withal, goodiest babies in town, but it will cry sometimes.— The other evening in the absence of its mater nal parent, it commenced to squall. It had boon left in charge of a leading newspaper waiter, who, being unable to quiet it, a cler gyman resident in the house tried his sooth ing powers, but without effect. Next oarne a doctor, also an inmate of the house, who was equally a failure as rogards a quieter of in fantile squabalosity. Finally appeared a who did gallant service during the last war.— lie too was a failure. Astor the squaler had occupied the attention of one or two others with no better success, the little ono’s mother fortunately dropped in and savod it from go ing into convulsions.—[Newark Register. A New Party. —From the Philadelphia City- Item we learn that anew party is proposed in Pennsylvania upon a novel basis. Its head and front is to bo Win. B. Thomas, who pledges himself fully to the support of “equitable” luxation. The City Item says: “He think* that in this country of abounding wealth ‘no poor man ought to be taxed, nor any other citizen, till he owns and possesses a surplus of property boyond what is necessary to support and educate a citizon’s family, and that only the superfluous wealth of the coun try ought to he taxed." A Hardshell Baptist preached in the city of YYashington lately, and took for his text, “God made man in his own image.” He then com menced, “An honest man is tho noblest work of God.” Then ho made a long pause, look ing searchingly about the audience, and then exclaimed, “But I opine God Almighty hasn’t had a job iu this oity for nigh on to fifteen years.” Nice Discrimination, —On the Long Island railroad, June 9th, a cow was run over and a car thrown off the track. No lives were lost. There wero ono hundred Baptist ministers on board, who passed resolutions complimenting the company for its discrimination in killing a cow instead of a Baptist minister. A sentimental editor says; “It is comfort able to know that one eye watches for our com ing, and looks brighter when vve oome.” A contemporary is grieved to learn that his “brother of the quill lias a wife with ono eye.” According to the Mobile Tribune the nogroes in that post office have hit upon an expedient to simplify distribution. They havo chalked all the boxes white and red in equal division, and put all the yellow letters in the red boxes and the white letters in the white ones. A man in Adair county, lowa, has invented a cannon which he claims will throw a projec tile fourteen miles, and has gone to AVashing ton to get a patent. He proposes to offer it to the Government for $1,000,000! His next achievement should be to invent a glass by which objects can be seen at that dislanco. Man’s happiness is said to hang upon a thread. This must bo the thread that is never at hand to sew on the shirt-button that is always off. AVhy are women extravagant in clothes ? Because when they buy anew dress they wear it out the first day. Why is a selfish friend like the letter P? Becauso though first in pity he is the last in help ? O’Leary gating with astonishment unon an elephant in a menagerie, asked the keeper: “What kind of a baste is that atin’ hay wid h*s tail?” VOL 4 NO. 37 A Well Administered Rebuke- The New York World relates tho billowing occurrence which took place in the Supreme Court Room at YYaslrington, in which it ap pears that Attorney General Hoar, for rude ness to Justico Nelson, was properly and soverely robuked by Chief Justice Chose; “In the progress of a speech by him tbo venerable Justioe Nelson inquired : “What is the page of authority you are quoting Mr, Attorney General ?’’ To whieh the man whom cx-Genoral Grant gave a Cabinet place in ex% , clmngo for a library, replied : “May it please the court, I decline to bo interrupted in my argument.” Whereupon tho Chief Justice assuming upon his younger shoulders the affront directed at his associate and incidentally reflecting upon tho whole bench, brought the Massachusetts Attorney to his knees at once by saying: ‘‘Mr. Attorney General, you wifi coasc in your argument for the present. Thfie court, as you will learn when you havobeconwr used to its amenities, reserves the right t<r question at any time any of Us counsellors ou any point whatever. Your rejoinder to the question of my associate is inadmissable ; and : when you have apologized to the court for language which we must say was never heard here before, you may proceed, but not untfl that is dono.” Whereupon the legal bully collapsed and meekly begged pardon, whieh it pleased the court to allow. Looking at Mr, Grant’s special pleader’s demeanor in th<r Ycrger argument on Tuesday, it i» plain that the Chief Justice must give him another humiliation to bring him to his proper plane,”' Attorney General Hoar, we trust, will profit by tsbe rebuke which he h%| recoived, and oonduet himself in future when before the- Oourt whieh he insulted, like a gentleman.— For Chief Justice Chase, we say, well done F A Western drover, driving a large drove of sheen to New York, was delayed on the road by stormy woather. Saturday night found him too far from the city to make tire much, desired early entrance on Monday morning.— He determined, therefore, to start on Sunday, As he passed a large old fashioned meeting house, the doors of which stood wide open, a cosset sheep ran into tho door and up to th» altar, where he stood and looked about as coolly as only a cosset sheep could look. The drover said to his assistant: “Jimmy, if you’l fetch that fellow out I’ll give you half a dollar.”' Jimmy was bright and knew his New Testa ment. Entering the edifice, ho marched np> and seized tho stray quadruped. The minister stopped short in his discourse and said: Young man, do you know what you aro doing?” “Yes sir,” replied Jimmy; “I’m separating th® sheep from the goats!” and suiting the action to the word, he dragged him forth from tho congregation. Laser Beer, —The Turf, Field and Farm, a first-class paper of New York, goes off in the following enthusiastic strain on tho subject of lager: “Wo sincerely believe that the worthy Teu ton who introduced lager beer into this ooonlry did more to exorcise the demon of drunkenness than all the teetotal fanatics that ever lived from the days of worthy old Christian Keener, of Baltimore, the founder of their sect, t© thoie of the fanatical demngogues who forced the Maine Liquor Law on a free peoplo, and stole plate and pianos from the helpless, unpr* tected women of the South. Wo hold the in venter of lager beer to bo more deserving of grateful remembrance than the # greatest warrior that ever scourged the human race.” The question—Does fanning in a hot day cool a person?—was recently decided in tb® negative by one of onr neighbors. Having fanned himself vigorously for an hour and feel ing no cooler, he tried the process upen his thermometer, and was surprised to find the mercury go np a degree in five minutes. A second thermometer was tried with the same result. Fans are now at a discount in that family. South Carolina will hold a state Agricultu ral Fair at Columbia, next November—precis® days not named in the telegram. The State Agricultural Society has invited Hon. JohnC.

General Kirby Smith seems to be popular as an instructor of youth. In one State alone, says the Louisville Courier-Journal, sixteen hundred ladies hare promised him their sons as pupils for his military academy. The Daniel Webster farm and homestead in Franklin, New Hampshire, were sold on Fri day last for $16,000. No person ever got stung by hornets who kept away from where they were. It is just so with bad habits. The Cincinnati TWs says Secretary Fish “will find it as difficult to piesorve a strict neutrality in Cuban business as he would to balance a live eel on the top of bis venerable proboscis.” One of the Roman emperors promoted his horse to the consulship. The Virginia people have beaten that by electing a Sogar to Con gress. In the grave of Casimir the Great, recently opened in Poland after a lapse of four centu ries, the crown and the sceptre were found in a complete state of preservation.
