We clip the above from the issue of our neighbor the Herald, of the IGth'in- stant, and present it to our readers to day, believing it will be as rare a treat to many of them as it was to us upon its perusal. Wo arc by poetry us we are by ruusio: we profess to judge of it only by its ef fects upon us. That which is agreeable, and chimes with our own feelings and scutiuii uts, we pronounce good, and so prououueo solely because it pleases us, and is m accord with our own naure. Upon t.'.s principle, the above stanzas, in our estimation, possess merit of a high order. The author, we “guess,” is Col. L. E. Biackly, who has tnus given very marked evidence ui Lis high and varied attainments. The Muses and the Law do not usually go together; though, m Geor- 1 gia, we have had some rare exceptions, such, for instance,as J udge Charlton, Gen. Henry R. Jackson and Richard Henry Wilde. The latter, in his mature years, was justly legarded as oue of the ablest lawyers iu the Uaiitd States, while uo pot'm iu the English language, perhaps, will out live that short one by him, be ginning wi:h the lines— 1 he Democratic r»rty, calm and confident in the Jiiftness of th« j-nucipl. s winch it advocates, caD «nord to wait patiently for reason to grasp her broken ac pter and put on again her shatter'd clown, la k not then « f the death and burial ol that great national pi rty, born of the brain of Jet- f..-raou and Jacksoo, and whose pnncip.es of -om- pre'iensive charity and good will a.oue can bring back Ibi- Republic to the plane of compromises and mutual surrender# by which the Union wsa crimi nally formed and preserved.

The B'leton Pont, in referring to t e* Democracy of Maiue, quotes from the Hepublican Journal, of lie!last, that the mass of tlie party of that State want a “good, otd-fasbioned Democratic Cou- j vention, OV a call that shall be broad en iugu to invite alj who st-e the great necessity for a change of men and meas ures iu Elute and nation.” The Post, in commenting, say s that —"A p.atform laitd on pure and original Denio- critlic principle*, with such u odificstions and addi tions as later issues mig .t make desirable, wou d appeal .u an irresistible manner to the voters of a Sbb that cutfeia under the disgrace which the Re publican tarty hie, brou„nt upon the country in ail Us later measures.” A few day s since we Rave extracts Irom Texas papers giving out the same spirit: and thus we have tne Democracy of the extreme Northeastern State and the ex- ticme Southern one, bordering on the Rio Grande, uud anotlier iu the West, calling lor a return to those old princi ples of Jtfleisouiau Democracy that were last year deserted lor a line of policy that resulted most disastrously to the cause of liberty. Wherever the true Demo cratic sentiments of the people are freely expressed, it is to the effect that they are tired of the temporizing, semi-Radieal policy which bus given the party defeat at every point. And in the language of the Rockport Lemociat, “the Democratic party is not dead, nor will it die while the Republic lives ;” because the principles of the one are the very life-blood, as it were, of free government itself. Tiio Republic was born of Democracy, and grew to its great power and strength under the fostering caie of Democratic principles and policy. And yet we have men calling themselvts Democrats, assuming to be leaders ol lhe party, trilling and coquetting, bar gaining and endeavoring to transfer the party to the platform of principles adopt ed by the Rt publican convention at Cin cinnati last year, and upon which was placed the most intense Radical of the whole Union as a candidate for Presi dent No wonder we see the Dimccracy of the country thus early calling for a resto ration of the ancient creed and doctiines of the party, lest they may be agtun transferred to the support of Radicalism, as they were last year by tricky, trading politicians. These ealls are comiog from Maine, from Indiana, from Texae, and from many other portions of the Union, because the true men of the party desire not to be again beguiled and deceived by pretended political friends. Referring to these figures, the Kansas City (Mo.) Times says: “Yts, it is com ing, lhe total separation of the Soutu from New England—a separation that will be more fatal tbun if every seceding State hud erected a separate and inde pendent government. The war has been of immense advantage in rome resptets to the South, while in others it has dealt her 6ome terrible blows. Yet, after all is said and done, it has taught her the real sincerity 01 h-r persecutors —thet-ue na tare of the animus which actuateu them fiurmg the struggle—ar.d the Southern people will ueither be wise nor huu en umess they urofit by these lessons to the confusiou of their tormentors.” When the Southern States become sufficiently populous to engage more and more iu ail grades of mechanical and L'laLiufactural enterprises, so certain will oe the process ot developing a magnifi cent independence of all other sections of the Union, that even New England may be loudest iu her regrets that the nstitutions of tie South were ever d's- turbed by the clamors of htr own loud mouthed so-calleu reformers. 1 Let all industrial pursuits be encour aged and lostered to the extent of our ability to do so, and the day is not far distant when the South will agaiu stand before the world proud and independent, with her railroads and telegraphs forming complete net-works our her broad plains uud upon her mountains, while her manu factories of ail kinds will loom up in t$rand magnificence over the whole laud. Then, indeed, we shall witness the South's true independence. Tlie Odd Fellow’s I icnic. passenger coaches pretty THK CHRISTIAN INDEX. Last week we gave notice that the Christian Ind x had been sold by Mr. J. J. Icon to messrs. J. P. Harrison & Co. Tae Franklin Printing House was also purchased by the same firm, which an nouncement is formally made in this week’s Index. This change briDgs Rev. Dr. D.

Our Baptist frieuds will doubtless rejoice to know that Dr. Sha ver’s able pen is hereafter to direct the columns of the Index, and that he is to be assisted by so able a corps of editors as he has upou his staff. We extend to all parties a most cordial welcome, as we know they will make the Index a very able religious journal, as .t ever has been. •• My life is like ihj summer rose '•Th.it opens to the morning sky; “l>ut, ere the ehade of evening close, ••U scattered on the ground—to die 1 ••Y. t ou tre rose's humble bed ••lhe sweetest dews of night are shed. ••as if she wept the wsste to see, ••Rut none shall weep a tear for me I” We heartily congratulate Col.

A pleasant ride on a slow train, through a delightful section of the State. The jolly company strived iu the city of Griffiu about 10:30 o’clock. To quite a large number ot the excur sionists this was their first visit to the beautiful little city ol Mi idle Georgia. They were delighted at the reception and hospitality extended them on this occa sion, as well as pleased at the marks of thrift and enterprise everywhere observa ble. On the arrival of the party st the depot, the Odd Fellows of the Griffin Lodge met their brethren in line, dressed in tha regalia of their or der, while almost all of the other por tion, of the citizens were on hand to ex tend a cordial welcome to their friends from the Gate City. This nroceedure not being down on the programme created some surprise on the part of the committee, and brought about a little confns.on ana delay in their action However, matter swere speedily ^arranged and the entire party formed a proces sicn and marched to the grounds of the Griffiu Male College, or accompanied their frieuds to their residences to spend a pleasant time. Those who reached the hall ol the college soon were engaged in tripping hghlly to the bounds of music. This afforded amusement lor some, not withstanding the excessive heat of tQu entire day. The Lightfoot B. B. Club at 2:30 indulged in a match game with the Wiiite blockings ot Griffiu, on tlie campus of the college, in the pres- ence of a large number ot spectators, only Georgia Items.

Mrs. Eliza Stopplebein died on Monday morning, at tne residence of her daughter, Mrs. W. J McAllister, of Columbus, aged 71 years. Her end was quiet and peaceful. Mr. J. F. Giles, an old aud worthy citizen of Lumpkin county, died at his residence near Union on the night ol the 11th, after a long aud painful illness. A little Sumter county negro boy, about seven years of age, deliberately cut the throat of a colored infant left in his charge, because it was a little troublesome to nurse. The negro who was shot on last Thursday night, while attempting to burglarize the store of Mr. D. D. Tracy, of Macon, died in the county jail on Sunday night. The Middlebrook-Greer murder trial, which has been pending in Jas per Superior Court at Mont'.cello, in consequence of a mistrial lias been transferred to Putnam county. The Right Reverend Bishop Gross, of Savannah, will derive - a lecture in the.old Capitol at Millodgeville ou Thursday of next week, and the Cath olics have arranged for an excursion train to go over there. The organization of the Savannah Crusaders, for some time in contem plation, will go into effect on St. John’s day, 24th inst., at eight o’clock p. si., its object being mainly the res toration of the temporal rights of the Pope. The strike of the printers of Su vannah is becoming interesting.

Specs) Correapondenc*.; LaFatsttk. Ala.. June 16. 1873 The cause of education iu tli s town has received a new ami fresh impetus within the past eighteen months. Years before the war La- Fayette was noted all over the coun try as a great place for schools aim colleges. The Baptist Female Col lege in this place is an institution which has for long years pact re flected the true sentiment of the good }>eople of that deuomina.iou of tins entire section of the State. It is the property of the Liberty Baptist Asso ciation, aud its course is mainly di rected by that body. The building is large and commodious, with accom modations for two hundred scholars. At present it is in a nourishing con dition, under the care of Prof. Brooks, as President. The new institution of learning, of wL.ch the Methodists have control, has only been m opera tion for eight.eu mouths. It is at present known as Shapard Hall, aud is presided over by Mrs. Henderson, a most estimable and worthy lad\, and one who has had years of expe rience in tins line of business, felie is the wife of Rev. Mr. Henderson, the pastor of the,several churches of that denomination iu this section. This institution is one of the many pets, of the kind, scattered throughout the South, of Bishop Geoige F. Pierce, of your !Sta*e. Mrs. Henderson's school is the pride and glory of the place, conducted, as it is, upon the most en lightened and progressive principles. As before stated, she brought to this section a record for eminence and success in her line rarely possessed b} teachers in oar own section. With an indomitable will aud unflagging perseverance, she has succeeded from a small and insignificant beginning of a year and a half ago iu establish-’ ing oue of the most flourishing lennile seminaries of learning to be found in the South. ISlie is aided aud seconded iu her efforts by people of all denomi nations in this section, as au enter prise of genuine merit, and one upon which all could unite and encourage as an adjunct to society and intelli gence. To-day a meeting of the friends of education took place at the Hall, when it was resolved to erect, at once, a budding sufficiently large and capacious to accommodate tlie increased demand of applicants for membership. When it is considered what a fine, healthy place LaFayette is lor schools, auu the superior ad vantages possessed over all other towns for this purpose, it is no won der that the staunch and solid men of the section promptly come forward with their means to aid in re building the waste places ol our beloved State. The present week is Commencement at the Hall, aud the exercises, so fur as your cor respondent has been able to witness, were of the most satisfactory descrip tion. Here are misses and young iadies front all parts of the State, and especially from the lower tier of counties, and Mrs. Henderson ia daily iu receipt ol letters from applicants from Mobile, Montgomery, aud the malarial sections, for board and col lege privileges. The town is accessi ble by railroad, which has daily con nections at Opelika. For refinement of her citizens, purity of air, best of water and church conveniences, she stands unrivalled by anv town in the South, and is bound lit no distant day to occupy an enviable position as a center of learning ana education. Otherwise, and at this particular time, it bears a strong resemblance to other and bigger places. Tne scar city of money and dullness of trade have their effects. But a redeeming quality in the composition of the cit izens is the ease and apparent indif ference with which the stringency of the season is cunumplated. Money they have not; their wants are few ana easily satisfied; Jit honesty of pur pose and probity of character of each individual of the community is well understood by his neighbor, and no entangling law suns for debt encum ber the civil dockets, Irom tnr simple fact that the entire community en deavor, by uprightness and fair deal ings, to avoid such annoyances. Uu Saturday this county lost cue of her oluest and most respected citi zens, Gol. Toliver Towles. Oid age and its cons 'quent attendants have carried to the grave an old land mark, who was known to hundreds of your leaders in different parts of the bouth and West. A most remarkable epidemic for the weather aud season lias broken out iu this section, and is of a most malignant type. 1 mean the matri monial fever. In this immediate vi cinity no less than a dozen marriages have" and will take place within the spaee of a few weeks. Why this busi ness at this unusual season is rather strange. What, with love an'l the honeymoon, aud an unusual good crop of blackberries, the harvest may be safely reached, after which a heavy draft on Providence may lie expected. The continuance of heavy rams all over this section have given the corn and other crops au imjietus which is likely to result iu splendid crops. The morbid appetite of about rive thousand of the natives was grutil d some lew days since by the execution of a negro murdeier, who was hung in public ard in full view jf half the j c-ridences in town. The horrible drama was enacted right before the eyes of the public, who were almost compelled to witness it in all of its hideousness ami debasing asj*ects. This relic of the past, this outrage upon civilization—a public hanging— is a sad and mournful commentary upon the so-ca’led progressive ideas of the turns, and its repetition would be loudly condemned by the purer and better class of the citizens. If people are to be hung, let it be done in pri vate, and save the more decent por tion of the public from being unwill ing spectators t f the barbarous prac tice. George. /. A.'!-.?/, MTKHILlWrC.
