nounced, The Mosaic Magazine comes
from Nashville, and awakens the hope
that Southern literature is to have an
other prop upon which to rest its claims
for consideration. Externally and in
ternally The Mosaic attracts favorable at
tention at once. It is beautiful in every
particular, rivaling even in general ap-
peaiance the best made Northern and
English magazines. Its letter-press can
not be surpassed. Among the content ? of

and Vesuvius,” by Frank Reid;-“Death,
a Punishment for Crime,” by James F.

article ou Dante; one on Bismarck; an

Temporal Power; besides quite a number

The Washington correspondent
of the BaltimoreSunr, telegraphs the fol
lowing to that paper under date of the
1st instant
Hon. Charles Hays, member of Con
gress from the fourth Alabama district,
writes here in a spirit of bitter com
plaint over recent federal appointments
in that State, and wants to know if there
is no Republican in Washington who will
represent to the administration that such
a course is permanently disreputing the
Republican party there, and handing the
State, bound hand and foot, over to the
Democrats. The letter charges that the
present collector of Mobile has already
sacrificed the Republicans in Alabama
and effected a Democratic triumph, and
hopes some step will be taken to prevent
the recurrence of such an event.
It is growing more apparent every day
hat Alabama, in common with some
other States, is distressingly in need of
more “reconstruction ?” She has coolly
and audaciously rid herself of the Radi
cal party, and chosen to be Democratic
in defiance of Grant’s wishes; and, what
is fully as mortifying to the Administra
tion, the people persistently refuse to
get up a “Ku-Klux outrage,” or furnish
other reasons for the shadow of a hint at
“martial law,” or other means of enforc
ing support of the Radical party. The
pain arising from the fact that the State
is Democratic, at present, would be
greatly ameliorated, iu the estimation of
the Radicals, if the Democrats were not
so careful in their preservation of law
and order. One good, bloody “Ku-
Klux” murder in that State now, would
be hailed with cheers by the Radicals. If
one negro were even soundly flogged, no
matter how justly, it would be a delicious
Courier-Journal, and other like papers
for the benefit of those who declare that
the so-called 14th and 15th amendments
were fraudulently adopted, but accept
them as valid. It pertinently asks if
those fraudulent amendments, imposed
by “usurpation and force, 5 ought to be
looked upon as sacred, and venerated by
the American people, the same as the
glorious work of our fathers.

There are two negro children at Gager-

white as any specimens of the Anglo-
Saxon race hereabouts. Both their pa
rents are as black as charcoal. The wool
on the heads of these children bears a
strong resemblance to that on the backs
of sheep, and about as white. The eyes
of one of them is constantly moving from
right to left and vice vei'sa, which renders
the child very near sighted. Medical
men pronounce these children a strange
and unaccountable freak of nature.

BY PHOEBE CABY.
[The following poem is tho last one sent by Phcobe
Cary to Harpers' Bazar. The Bazar says: “It. is
the song of the dying swan—tender, and sweet, and
beautiful."]
O, Rosamond, thon fair and good,
And perfect flower of womanhood,
Thou royal rose of June,
Why did’st thou droop before thy time ?
Why wither in the first sweet prime ?
Why did’st thon die so soon ?
For, looking backward through my tears
On thee, and on my wasted years,
I cannot choose but say,
If thou had’st lived to be my guide,
Or thou had’st lived and I had died,
'Iwere better fer tc-day.-
O, child of light; O, Golden head—
Bright sunbeam for one moment shed
Upon life’s lonely way—
Why did'st thou vanish from our sight ?
Could they not spare my little light
From Heaven’s unclouded day ?
O, friend so true; O, friend so good—
Thou one dream of my maidenhood
That gave youth all its charms—
What had I done or what had'st thou,
That through this lonesome world till now
We walk with empty arms ?
And yet had this poor soul been fed
With all it loved and coveted—
Had life been always fair—
Would these dear dreams that ne’er depart,
That thrill with bliss my inmost heart,
Forever tremble there ?
If still they kept their earthly place,
The friends I held in my embrace,
And gave to death, alas 1
» Could I have learned that clear, calm faith
That looks beyond the bonds of death,
And almost longs to pass ?
y Sometimes, I think, the things we see
Ar6 shadows of the things to be;
% That what we plan we build;
That every hope that hath been crossed,
And every dream we thought was lost,
Iu heaven shall be fulfilled.
That even the children of the brain
Have not been born and died in vain,
Though here unclothed and dumb;
But on some brighter, better shore
They live, embodied evermore.
And wait for us to come.
And when on that last day we rise,
Caught up between the earth and skies,
Then we shall hear our Lord
Say, Thou hast done with doubt and death;
Henceforth, according to thy faith
Shall be thy faith's reward.
TU*«jNew Departure Claims as
Fri&ds Those who are not its
‘Friends.
Pendleton and Thurman have spit the
Courier- Journal's Radical gag out of their
mouths. They will keep pitching into
the amendments. It is amusing to notice
how the several papers that are interested
in the New Departure take this contuma
cy. The New York Sun catechizes Thur-
!man sharply, while the Courier-Journal
says nothing about-him, and contents it
self with claiming that Pendleton is all
right. The Cincinnati Commercial, how-
|'ever, begins to give the New Departure
up as an orphan bereft of friends since
the death of Yallandigham. The Com-
241 mercial says that he crowded it through
the Columbus Convention, but that there
is. “a manifest want of enthusiasm over
it” in Ohio, where “a very considerable
number of steadfast Democrats are as
flatly hostile to it as General Jubal Early
was to the adoption of a similar platform
by the Richmond Convention.” That
paper, with the deep interest it always
takes in Democratic orthodoxy, is nearly
as'much grieved about the stubbornness of
the “old leaders” as the Courier-Journal,
and like the latter, it thinks there is no
hope for the Democracy save in a “wise
and liberal platform and leaders like

most grassy seasons ever known; and the
two hurricanes injured every crop more

The Advertiser of Sunday has this
item
Mr. Clark, who. was engaged in the
cattle and butchering business, rode out
on the Ogeechee road yesterday afternoon
on horseback about three o’clock, for the
purpose of attending some live stock he
had purchased. At a point near the
forks of the road beyond Cooper’s, his
horse stumbled into a ditch, falling
heavily upon his rider, injuring, as was
subsequently ascertained, the spinal col
umn. He was brought into town in
great pain and attended by Drs. Read
and Smith, whose efforts in his behalf
proved of no avail,

Some New England Indy, Mrs. Daniels,
we believe—another of the Daniels come
to judgment—-has invented a new-fanglecL
apparatus for keeping the ladies’ stock*
ings up, which is to supersede the time-
honored and knightly garter. It may
do well enough for those ladies who lack
sufficient rotundity of limb, but our Vir
ginia women are not deficient in any of
the necessary adjuncts that go to make
up the perfect mould of form, and can
keep their garters on and stocks up with
out resorting to any new inventions.—
V hat will the Yankees ask us to surren
der next?. The garter is an old and
cherished institution; and although the
elastic invention with tho buckle has
bean adopted by many city belles, tho
free-boru and unconventional country
girls still stick to twine and tape, and
other strings—some even using as a tie
the primitive wisp of straw. We will
have none of this new-fashioned, hip-
attachment gearing. We are true to our
ancient ties. It is a direct assault upon
our civilization, a blow aimed at otir
gartered rights; and we will resent it
while we have a leg to stand upon.—
Ladies be true to your stockings. Un-
f Sri the banner of the garter, and inscribe
upon it that grand motto of tho grandest
order of .knighthood ever established—
“Honi soit qui mal y pense"—and there is
not a man, young or old, in Virginia but
will rally round the flag, and shed his

over, in the person of Dr. Ship, D. D.,
the President, with his learned associates
in the various departments, but is in a
flourishing condition.
The College was founded by the mu
nificence of Rev. Benjamin Wofford in
1S50—whoso name it bears—and is under
the control of tho S. C. Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church South.
Bishop Wigktman, we see, is one of
the Trustees.
It is truly gratifying to have such evi
dences of what is doing in the cause of
education in our “ down-trodden" sister
State of South Carolina, as this catalogue
furnishes.

Chief of Police Savage, of Boston, is
putting into effect an old law, which pro
vides that any man arraigned for simple
drunkenness may be discharged on con
dition that he discloses the name of the
person who sold him liquor and the
place where it was obtained.
mill, in this county, we learn that on
Monday last a fatal accident occurred to
Mr. F. M. Wilkinson, one of their em
ployees. It seems that Mr. W. was at
tempting to repair the feed belt of the
mill by passing his leg through it, and
before taking his leg out, called to the
fireman to “go ahead,” which he did, and
the belt caught his leg, winding him
around the shaft, tearing off the leg be
low the knee, and then tearing out the
thigh at the hip. He died in about five
minutes after becoming extricated. De
ceased was from Twiggs county.
We are now in possession of reliable
data from the whole of Southern and
Southwestern Georgia, relative to the
condition of the cotton crop, and it
our painful duty to report a disastrous
failure. This is no sensational announce
meut, and is not based upon doubtful in
formation. The best sections of this
portion of the State cannot possibly reach
two-thirds of an average crop, while the
poorer sections will scarcely exceed oue-
third. The acreage of the latter being
much the largest, the plain deduction is
weak-kneed and unthinking Democracy
and is a most terrible thorn in the flesh
of Radicalism. Deal gently, Mr. Steph
ens, but firmly, with our wayward breth
ren, “they know not what they do,”—
they know what is right to be done, but
have not the necessary intelligence and
firmness to do it, until they are first di
rected. The flashes of your sun-beams
are giving that direction. Democracy is,
everywhere, growing into a very Sampson
under its life-giving influence, while
Radicalism is loose at every- joint and
rattles as it walks. “Let trath and false
hood grapple—truth has never yet been
worsted iu a free and opon encounter.”
—Fayette [Miss.) Chronicle, August 25.
The Titusville (Penn.) Courier reports
that the Sheriff of Chautauqua county
has commenced a prosecution for man
slaughter against Cape. Murray, of the
Chautauqua, recently blown up on the
lake, and that ttie case is now under ex
amination. The condition of Captain
Murray is said to be critical, and tLe
probability of his recovery doubtful.
