HOBBY. “ My House shall be called of all nations the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” “ Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep’s clothing; but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” ‘•lt was the worst work that Satan and sin undertook in this world; and they that suffered in it were not martyrs in the good cause, but convicts in a bad one. Who shall comfort them that sit by dishonored graves ."—Sermon of Henry Ward Beecher. Vile, brutal man! and darest thou In God’s anointed place to preach— With Impious tongue and brazen brow— The lessons Hell would blush to teach? The cruel taunt thy lips hath hissed Beneath Religion’s holy screen, Is false—as false as Iscariot’s kiss; Isfsalsase —as thou art vile and mean. Are these the lessons which He taught? And was His mission here in vain? Peace and good will seem words of naught; Hell rules the earth with hate again! And thou ! its chosen instrument. Hyena-like, with heartless tread, Hast dared invade, with blood-hound scent, The sacred precincts of the dead. Not such from those, dear brave old South, .Who met thee in thine hour of might! But from the coarse, polluted mouth Os coward curs who feared to tight. Lear loved old South! contemn the curse That those who hate shall heap on you ; You’ve wept behind War’s bloody hearse, That bore away your brave and true! « Their previous blood, though Vainly shed— Long as thy shore old Ocean laves— We’ll bow with reverence o’er our dead, And bless the turf lhat wraps their graves. From Mexico to Maryland, Those graves are strewn like autumn leaves— What though no mother’s tender hand Upon their tomb a chaplet weaves. Nor wives, nor sisters bend above The Honored soldier’s unmarked mound; They are objects of eternal love In consecrated Southern ground. It recks not where their bodies lie — By bloody hill-side, plain or river— Their names are bright on Fame's proud sky, Their deeds of valor live forever. Lie song-birds of the South shall slug From forrests grand, and flowery stein And gentlest waters murmuring, Crate to hymn their requiem. And Spring will deck their hallowed bed With types of resurrection’s day ; And silent tears the Night hath shed The Morning’s beam will kiss away. Those heroes rest in solemn fame On every field where Freedom bled ; And shall we let the touch of shame Fall like a blight upon our dead ? No—wretch ! we scorn thy hatred now, And hiss thy shame from pole to pole, The brutes are better far than thou, And Hell would blush to own thy soul. “ Dishonored graves ?” take back the lie That’s breathed by more than human hate, Lest, Ananias-like, you die, - Not less deserving of his fate, Our Spartan women bow in dust, Around their country’s broken shrine ; True -as their souls are noble—just, Pure—as their deeds have been divine ; Their Angel hands—the wounded cheered; Did all that woman ever daree— When wealth and homes had disappeared, They gave us tears, aud smiles, and prayers. They, proudly gave their jewels up— For all t hey loved—as worthless toys ; Drank the dregs of Want’s bitter cup To feed our sick and starving boys. Their glorious flag on high no more Is borne by that unconquered hand ; ’Tis luried upon the “silent shore”— Its heroes, stili around it stand. No more beneath its folds shall meet The armies of immortal LEE ; Th§ rolling of their drums’ last beat Is echoing in eternity in eternity ! Galveston, Texas, Jan. iB6O. Tin- subject of emigration still at tracts general attention in the South. The Charleston Courier says : “\Ye are informed that about two weeks since a company of fifty emigrants sailed from -Yew York for Charleston. As yet we have not heard of their arrival at this •port. We occasionally notice a paragraph in our New Orleans and Mobile exchanges, alluding to the arrival of a small body of white emigrants at oneor the other of those places, Out we fail to observe any record of the landing of large numbers. Os the Southern States, Virginia has taken the lead in the matter of furnishing homes to emigrants. Nearly six hundred have set tled within her boundaries since April, 1855. We learn that several ageus from the South are at present in New York for the express purpose of endeavoring to pre vail upon emigrants, who arrive each week, to secure homes at the South. We hope, by all means, they may succeed in their ef forts. We take the authority of several planters, with whom -we have conversed on the subject, that it is the desire of a ma jority of that class of the citizens of South Carolina, to give the system of white labor au impartial and extended trial. Some thing must be done to secure white labor ers, in case the freedman’s contract system should prove unsuccessful. The lands of the State must be cultivated. Cotton must be raised and brought to market, before our people can hope to realize sufficient means to enable them to place affairs in a prosperous condition. The result of the i present Crop depends almost wholly on the i willingness or unwillingness of the freed men to labor through the season. By early j fall we shall be abie to judge more accu rately of the value of the system under which the plantations are now worked.” ti@r» Mr. Win. Alexander, of the vicin ity of Tuseumbia, Alabama, is having his farm worked by a colony of some fifty Georgians, who have left their own State allured by the advantages otfered by the Tennessee Valley. Mr. Alexander fur nishes feed for the plow stock, the land fanning utensils, houses, wood, etc. ami paovisions, which the laborers are to pav for when the crop is made. The laborers furnish their own horses, having brought them with them, and the crop, after being gathered, is equally divided. The Wheat Chop.— The Rome (Ga.) Commercial says: Wehavebeen conversing during the last week with gentlemen from the surrounding counties and from the ad joining counties of Alabama, and we learn that the wheat crop never looked more promising. In Gordon county more wheat lias been sowed than for many years and the farmers anticipate a rich harvest! We have in Floyd a large quantity of wheat sowed, but not as much as we sowed before the war. The Commercial very sensibly recommends the farmers to plant large crops of corn to fatten their bogs ana not rely on the Westfor th*ir supplies’ j MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL Weekly Review of the Macon Market.

Substitute for Peruvian Guano. B^TJGKEI’S Raw Bone Super-Phospate of LI me. BMATJO-ZE-Y Sc SOTsTS. MANUFACTURERS AND PROPRIETORS, No. 20 South Delaware \venue, PHILADELPHIA. This valuable Manure has been before the agri cultural public, under one name, for twelve years past, and its character for vigor of action and per manence in effect is well established. Before the war it was introduced to some extent in the South ern States, and was found to be highly adapted to Cotton, Tobacco and all Crops. And as a perfect substitute for Peruvian Guano, (afforded at less than one half the cost,) it has been adopted by agriculturists of known intelligence and discrimination. It is warranted not to ex haust the soil, but on thecoutrary permanently, to improve it. The sales now amount to many thou sand tons annually, and the facilitias for its man ufacture are extensive and complete. Pamphlet describing its distinctive claims rnny be had on application to the undersigned agent of the manufacturers from whom the MANURE may at all times be obtained. Dealers supplied at a discount.
