S. N. STALLINGS August 3, 1339, —2ui3B COFIXGTOX GA., SEPT, 17, 1869. Tlie Golden Side. There is many a rose in the road ol life, If we would only stop to take it ; And nmnv a tone from the better land, If the querulous heart would make it j To the sunny soul that is full of hope, And whoso beautiful trust ne’er fuiieth, The grass is green and the flowers arc bright, Thtiogh the winter storm prevailcth. Better to hope, though tho clouds hang low, And to keep the eyes still lifted ; For the sweet blue sky will still peep through When the ominous clouds are rifted; There was never a night without a day, Or an evening without a morning ; And the darkest hour, so tho proverb goes, Is the hour before tho dawning. There is many a gem in tho path of life, Which we pass in our idle pleasure, That is richer far than the jeweled crown Or the miser’s hoarded treasuro ; It may be the love of a little child Or a mother’s prayer to heaven, Or only a beggars grateful thanks For a cup of water given. Better to weave in the web of life A bright and golden filling ; And to do God’s will with a ready heart And hands that arc prompt and willing, Thnn to snap tho delicate, minute threads Os our curious lives asunder, And then blame Heaven for tangled ends And sit and grievo and wonder. A Washington letter says it is understood hero that a large amount of arms and ammus nitinn, originally purchased for the use of the Fenians, have lately been purehnsed by the agents of Cuban insurgents, and will soon be shipped by them to Cuba for the benefit of tho revolutionary forces. The Change is Coming. Tiie New York Tribuno squirms cxcrusia tingly oyer the California verdict upon Mon grelism. It sees the hand-writing upon the wall. Niggerisin will not be accepted. The supremacy of the white man is to be main tained. The old Constitution is still revered. The faith of our fathers in the principles of Democracy is maintained by their sons, Tho sublime principles which were the basis of all that made this country great and powerful, up to 1860, are still alive, thank God. We are getting back upon the right track, slowly hut surely. Ohio and Pennsylvania, hark ! “dinna ye hear the slogan 7” The California Democracy is true to itself and the Constitu tion. In the coming contest let the Democracy of Ohio and Pennsylvania do as well, and the great campaign of 1872 will be one continuous blaze of glory.—New York Day Bonk. Science h is been reduced to a fine point.— At the general session of the American Asso ciation for the advancement of Science, at Sa lem, telegraph wires, which has been put in connection with name of the patients at the City II 'spital in Boston, wore so niinipulated as ta transmit the fluctuations of their pulses, which were faithfully indicated by the click of the instruments in the hall, and by the aid of n magnesium light the exaet motion of the blood was depicted hv a little circle of light cast upon a darkened wall. After this,it was demonstrated to the oar by the ringing of two little telegraphic bells, showing the two differ ent sounds of the beating heart. Disgusted. —Hon J. A. Boyce, of Cincin nati, heretofore a prominent Radical, in a coinmunioation to the Cincinnati Enquirer, says: “I have severed myself from the Republi can party, because it is an organized hypocri sy, a shuffling dissimulation, a fraud, a delu sion and a snare, a combination of grasping fanatics, fattening on the vitals of the wealth producers and wealth distributors of the country.” Mr. Boyce evidently understands tho organ ization from which ho lifts recently parted with in disgust. Among the noted receipts by express, Sat urday, were four imported Cotswold sheep, at a cost exceeding two thousand dollars, for Mr. C. C. McFcrran, for his farm in Jefferson county. They were imported direct by Mr. i Cochrane, of Compton, Canada, and arrived at | Quebec last week. The buck, one year old weighs four hundred pounds. Tho three ewes are not quite as heavy, and are pronoun ced the finest 6heep ever imported to or seen ip this State. Capt. Allen, who manages Jordan & Lock ett’s Foul-town plantation, put in a speciality of six acres. It was highly fertilised with the Dixon mixture, and planted about the 4th of May. The first picking—last week—yielded two thousand pounds to the acre, and wc learn that the patch will probably yield two more pickings of an equal amount—making 36,00) lbs. to the six acres.—Albany News. Thirteen women were arrested in New York Saturday at the Pension Office, charged with drawing pensions fraudulently, representing themselves as widows of soldiers. All-of them are married, and some of them came to the Pension Office, in their own carriages. In the life of Dr. Lyman Beecher, written by his children, that patriarch is reported to have said : “If Byron could have only talked with Taylor and me, it might have got him out of all his troubles.” Wtienevor you buy or sell, let or hire, make a clear bargain, and never trust to “We shan't disagree about trifles.” The Louisville Courier-Journal thinks it is no more dishonorable for the nation to repu diate its debt than it was for the South to be compelled to repudiate its own, nrzasmmwMßHßßaHßßßaaa Shocking Death ol Judge Olcott. On the 20th of August Inst the dead body of a man, unknown'in those parts, was found near Ellicott City, Md., under circumstances indicating that his death was caused by expo* sure and wnnt of food. lie was respectably and comfortably clad, and bore othor appear ances of having moved in good society, and as there was a suspicion of his being an es caped lunatic, the body was kindly cared for, and pains were taken to advertise the circum stances under which it was found. We now hear from Maryland that it has been identified bv General E. M. Gregory, of Philadelphia, and Benjamin F. Haddock, of Chicago, ns the body of Judge F. R. Olcott, for some months past Judge of the Hustings Court of Rich* mond. Judgo Olcott was appointed to the bench by General Caoby in May last. He was of Northern bjjrth, a brother-in-law of the eele* brated Rufus Choate, and a son of a lawyer of eminence and wealth. For twenty years he was a resident of Louisiana, and for a short time was a judge"of the Supreme Court of that State, retiring from the position to go North at the outbreak of the war. Early this Summer Judge Olcott went to the White Sulphur Springs, where his conduct gaye rise to whispering doubts of his sanity. These doubts were confirmed by subsequent occurrences on his return to Richmond. When last heard from alive he was in Baltimore en route to Chicago to visit his wife. Failing to reach his destination, his friends telegraphed to various points in Mnrylaad and Virginia, but were unable to hear anything of his whereabouts until the finding of the dead body at Ellicott City led those interested to visit that place, with the result above stated. Paper Collars, The following are the processes through which a piece of paper has to pass in order to become a fashionable article of wearing apparel, as a colar or cuff for a lady or gently* inan : First, the paper must be made ex pressly for the object designed, and prepared with direct reference to its weight, strength, color, and flexibility ; it has to be linen finish* ed, by having applied to it a coating of whiting mixed with glue and passed over hot cylinders to give it the requisite polish ; then it is eov* erad with a linen cloth, or in some cases has the facsimile of cloth engraved upon it, and the impression of the linen is thus transferred to the paper. Next the paper is divided into sheets or rolls of the required dimensions, and cut by machinery into the proper shape for collars or cuffs. The machine also makes button holes, and creases the collar where it is to be folded ; a girl folds the end of tho collar and passes it between rapidly revolving wheels, which cither fold it or roll it into its curved form, as may be desired. If the collar is to have the button holes patched, as it is called, it is necessary, before it is rolled to have three small oval peices of perforated cloth affixed, which covers the holes and gives them additional strength. The eolar or cuff must also go through a machine for finishing the edge, whether that border is to represent ordinary stiching or is to imitate a raised eord or tuck. Washing Dat to re Abolished. —lt seems almost impossible that the ingenuity of man or woman can devise a plan by which this blue day shall be effaced from the domestic calen dar, but it is nevertheless true that an experi* mont is to be made by the residents of a town in Massachusetts which, it is believed, will completely redeem Monday from the odium which is attached to it, as the day of picked up dinners, poorly dusted rooms and general household demoralization. This innovation is to be accomplished by the joint ownership of some twenty families in a laundry which is to bo erected in a lot contiguous to tho residences of those who expect to enjoy the benefits which it will confer. It is thought that with the improved appliances for cleaning olothes, the movoment will be an economical one. while the work which it will .save, and the petty annoyance incident to soap suds and boiling water, thus obviated, will bo very great. The Wilmington, N. C., Journal says: “ In this State and South Carolina the crops have certainly been injured from twenty five to thirty three and perhaps fifty per cont. Wo know of not a single county which will make a full crop. We have thus stated why the crop cannot be large. It has never been esti mated at over three millions of bales. If it reach two million five hundred thousand, that will be the very outside figures. The planter should know wbat he can calculate on. He is the sufferer whenever there is a mistake. For some months cotton has fluctuAcd in price in New York from 33 to 35 cents per pound. The factories both in England and this country have been running on short time for almost the whole of this period. The Great Bridge across rn* Ohio River. —On Thursday the largest span of any truss bridge in the United States was completed on the great bridge across the Ohio river at Lou isville, which is destined to connect the Ken tucky and Indiana shores. The bridge itself will be, when finished, (and the engineer in charge expects to turn over his contract for the building some time in November,) one of the most splended structures of the kind in this or any other country. This last spnn covers three hundred and seventy feet, and is a marvel of engineering skill. Watkins, the negro man who murdered a little white boy named Charles Wilson some months ago, was hung by the neck until dead, in the jail at Savannah, Friday, between 9 and 10 a. m. Remarkable Railroad Feat. Not long since the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company performed a feat which is entitled to rank among the extraordinary ones in the his* tory of railroads. This was no less than the chnnging of their entire track from St. Louis to Leavenworth—a distance of 318 miles—to the narrow gauge in sixteen hours 1 The track was formerly 4 feet 6 inches in width, and it became desirable to alter it to 4 feet 8$ inches, so that it would conform with the tracks of other railroads, a number of which connect at Kansas City. Extensive preparations were made for tho change ; new engines and cars were purchased, and many cars Altered. Everything was finally got in readiness, and it was decided to commence the hureulean task of altering the width of the track on Sunday morning. Two hundred and seventy eight men were ongaged in addition to the large foroe in the employ of the oompany, and the whole were detailed to do the work on different sections of the road at the same time. The work eommenoed at the Leavenworth end at 4 o'clock Sunday morning, and from St Louis at 10 o’clock. The obange was made without the losing of a train.—fin. Limit Repwb. Retribution. The Manchester, New Hampshire, Union, speaking of Ex-Secretary of War Stanton, says: Those who hare seen Stanton at Wolfebor ough describe him as a mere wreck. If they would say wretch they would better desoribe him. Remarking upon this, the Rocbeeter, N, Y., Union saye “ that retribution laye a heavy hand at last upon this heartless, petty despot who strutted his hour upon tbe stage, dreseed in a little brief authority, and who now finds himself despised and shunned by his fellow men. How he must fairly hate himself when in solitnde he reflects npon the cruel fate of tho thousands of Federal soldiers who were by his orders left to starve, rot and die in the prison pens of the South—when he thinks of the answer he made Col. Streight, who escaped from Andersonville and called to plead with him for mercy on the victims of his fiendish policy, viz : “ I’ll be d—d if Pm going to ex change sound men for skeletons.” We trust that Stanton will lire a thousand years with his coward conscience to confront him.— Ex. The Pneumatio Dispatch System is reoeiving attention among the scientific men in this country. By some it is pronounced impracti cable, wild, visionary, while others maintain that it can be made of practical value in the speedy transmission of goods of all descriptions from point to point. Alfred Brisbane has caused more than usual interest on this subject by his new plan of enclosing substances to be pneumatically propelled in air tight globes which are to fit into aerial cylinders, and thro’ the latter be sent at a speed at whose minimum rate, he submits, will be two hundred miles an hour. The gentleman profosses, by his globu lar device, to have secured an almost total re duction of friction. The distanoe between Newark and Jersey City is to be the first pneu matically connected in this manner, and the experiments made between those two places will determine, to some extent at least, the merit of Mr. Brisbane’s plan. The Richmond Dispntch says : 11 We learn from the Warrenton, N. C., Present, that four negro women and one negro man were sent enced, at the last Warrenton County Court, to banishment to South Carolina, with a verbal promise of a heavy penalty should they ever show their faces in North Carolina. A similar punishment was imposed at the late term of the Edgecombe County Court. How will the Palmetto State like that? She may retaliate if she, likes with interest, by banishing her rogues to North Carolina.” We beg to say that a hearty welcome will be given these immigrants if they will promiee to vote the Radical ticket whenever they have an opportunity. We cannot balance things by banishing oar rogues to North Carolina, be cause, if we did so, what on earth would be* come of the Radical party 7—Charleston, S. C., News, Radical Government in Missouat.—Under Radical rule in Missouri, there are sixty thou sand men, guilty of no crime known to law, not even charged with an indictable offense, who cannot oven vote for the lowest officer in the State. Not one of these sixty thousand men can hold an office, no matter how trifling its emoluments or honors, or how exalted Jit may be—not even if every voter in his town ship. county, or the whole State should cast his ballot for him. And all this is a matter of truth and record four-and-a-half years after the close of the civil war, while the ballot has been given in the Southern States to 700,000* most of them grossly ignorant. A steamboat on the Mississippi passed a drowning man. The unfortuneate man strug gled, plashed, floundered, and screamed (or dear life in the water. The pilotof the steam boat veiled to him to “stand np 1” lie did so, and found the water scarcely knee deep. A more foolish, sheepish appearing follow than he, us the ladies and gentlemen on the boat screamed with laughter at the humorous scene it would be hard to immagion. A Yankee in Paris, who was listening to the boasts of some English and Frenoh about the wonderful genius of their respective country men, at last “broke out,” and said : “O pshaw ! yeou git out! Why, there’s Bill Devine, of our village, who kin paint a piece of cork so ’zaetly like marble that the minute you throw it into the water, it will sink to the bottom jes’ liko a stone.” Marrying a woman for her beauty alone, is like eating a bird for its sweet singing. VOL 4 NO. 44 A Model Congressman. Tho metropolitan district of South Carolina is to be represented in Congress by a man who furnishes a capital illustration of the bonutie* of universal negro suffrage. Tho mar* elected in the Charleston Distriot is accused by Atder* man Mackey, tho President of tho Union League, of being “ a thief, a forger, and a murderer.” Tho charges of Mackey, as pub* lished in tho Charleston News, are as follows i 1. That C. C. Bowen stoic a valuable set of faro checks from a gambler in this city, which checks were sold by Bowon in New York, where they were identified and ultimately re* covored by the owner. 2. That C. C. Bowen was imprisoned in Castle Pinckney in 1867, by Gov. Soott, then Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen’a Bureau, on the charge of misappropriating thw funds of the Union League. 3. That C. C. Bowen, the Captain of tho Twenty-first Battalion, Georgia Cavalry, was tried by court martial, found guilty, and cash* iered for forging pay rolls, tbe result being announced in General Orders from Gen. Beam regard’s headquarters. 4. That C. C. Bowen was arrested upon tho charge of having planned the murder of 001. White, at Georgetown, South Carolina, in No* vember, 1864 ; that be escaped punishment by tbs flight of bis nocomplioe, and was released from jail when the Federal troops took posses* sion of Charleston, in Now, Bowen must be a nioe man, indeed, In make laws—not only for the people of South Carolina, but for the whole people of the Uni* ted Skates I Tst his kifamoes mond character will not injurs him in Washington if he bo “ sound on the goose.” Misplaced Confidence. One oold evening, during a great revival of the colored people of Zanesville, Ohio, tho ebony expounder was dolivoring a powerful appeal on “faith,” the groans and sobs of his hearers giving token of its effect upon their impressible natures. The tears stood upon his dark cheeks, his voice quivered like dis tant thunder, while he emphasized his words by vigorous blowj upon the table. In tho midst of all this, the stove, agitated by bio jarring blows, rolled over on tho floor. Bro Lewis, the high man of the church, had located himself near the comforter of his shins. lie stood irresolute, when tho voice of his minister came to him, laden with faith : “Pick up de stobe, Brudder Lewis—pick up do stobe ; de Lord won’t let it burn you !” Brother Lewis’ mind was filled up with miracles of faith ho had heard that evening, so ho yielded to the appeal of his preacher, grabbed tho hot stove, but dropped it instantly, and turning his re proachful eyes to his disciples of faith, replied, “De debble he wont.” Dkunk But Once. —“ You have but five minutes to live,” said the sheriff, “if you have anything to say, speak now.” The young saan burst into tears, and said. “I have to die. I had one little brother, he had beautifli? blue eyes, and I loved him. Bat one day I got drunk, for the first time in my life, and coming home, I found my little brother get ting berries in the garden, and I became angry without a cause, and killed him with one blow of the rake. I did not know anything about it until the next day, when I awoke and found myself bound and guardod, and was told that my little brother was found, his hair clotted with blood and brains, and he was dead.—. Whisky had done it. I only have one word to say, and then I am going to my Judge. I say young persons, never, never touch any thing that can intoxicate.” The next moment the young man was ushered into eternity. Horace Greeley thus mourneth over the disrespect shown to a little colored brother of his: A negro lad lately employed as office boy in the Tribune bos set up as reporter on the staff of one of our eotomporarios. In that ca pacity he attended a meeting of Engineers, last evening, in the Bowery, whence he was, by resolution, expelled on account'of his color. It strikes ns that the Engineers are unduly sensitive. The lad is intelligent and polite ; he made a very good offioe boy for us; wa presume he makes a satisfactory reporter for our cotemporary; and we don’t see why he should not be allowed the peaceful pureuit of his vocation. A few days since a well-known lawyer of Waterbury, Connecticut, bought a railroad ticket for New Haven, and after taking a seat in the cars, found, on looking over his change, that the agent had given him one dollar too much. He accordingly returned, and inform' ing the agent of his mistake, handed back the money. For a moment the agentstood speechs less, then he grasped him by the hand and exclaimed: “Please stand still one moment, sir, and let me look at you—and » lawyer too!” An ex-editor having tried merchandising and failed, thus writes to a friend: “Dear our firm as you may know is a defunct ineti* tution—dead past recovery. I am doing nothing, and as my means are exhausted, must ere long fall baok upon my bond and hands for a livelihood. To which his friend, not understanding his meaning, replied, advising him not to bo so rash, but try his old business once more before connecting himself with a circus. Sleeping on feather beds, or with the hauds raised above the head, is very bad for the lungs. So says a doctor of large experi ence. The latest sensation.—A mosquito bite at 11.59 P. M.
