There is a high and no >!e nature hidden in some men which requires to be drawn out and encouraged. Men often (and especially young men) view this new' phase of life from the contrary side, and find nothing to acquaint them with the bitter } art of their nature. When two are made one in the eyes of God and man it is this married life that develops them. When I speak of married life 1 mean that union of hearts which true and firm love forms and which G<?d smiles on and blesses. If married life be firm and sweet, if love true, entire and noble, how happy they who enter upon it? Oh, it is this that makes happy hearts and bright skies. r l his is the beautiful sunshine that gleams in the low ly cot, and makes the heart cheerful and loving, even when the homes are darkest. To know and feel that there is on© heart that con sympathize with yours. That there are ey s that can give tears for your sorrows, and lips ever ready to smile when you rejoice. Young man, there is no bugbear in this wedded life. There is no burden which will weary you. Love sweetens and brightens all. Love, like a heavenly light, brightens every dark path and makes labor sweet, when she whom you love more than life stands by your side and smiles and so lovingly cheers you. There is nothing so fruitful of true happiness as this* It brings heaven down to earth. It is heav enly. It is sublime. This is no pic ture of fancy. Experience teaches us the substantial lessons, and be who speaks from experience speaks truly. Let not, then, the fear of “too much responsibility” cheat you out of the greatest blessing of lifel It is the duty of every man to love and cher ish the tender sex, and he who shrinks from so pleasant a . task stands not as a man in the eyes oi his fellow-men. Beware of this mercenary motive which impe s men to join themselves to those whom they love not. It is the breaker on which many lives are wrecked. It is hut the ghost of af fection which frightens away what ever of peace or happiness that may strive to enter tiie heart. If a girl be poor is she less worthy for that? Being good and worthy what supe riority can the rich girl claim ? Love two e ;.i, tot her be rich or poor. Know her worth and take ner, iiin ish and protect. Love her with an earnest love and God will bless and prosper you. Champion. Death of Eeverdy Johnson. lion. Reverdy Johnson, the dis tinguished statesman and jurist, died suddenly last night while a guest at the executive mansion of Gov. Car roll, at Annapolis, Maryland. He was born at Annapolis, May 21, 179 G, being the son of Hon. John Johnson, Chief Judge of the First Judicial District of Maryland, and afterwards Chancellor of the State. He was an alumnus of St. John’s College, An napolis, afterwards studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1815. He soon acquired a large and lucrative practice in bis native city and coun try, and he reported, during the next eleven years, the decisions of the Court of Appeals of Maryland, the greater part of the well known series of seven volumes of “Harris A Johnson’s Reports” having been pre pared by him. In 18.7 be removed to Baltimore, and soon after was ap pointed Deputy Attorney General of Maryland, and in 1820 Chief Com missioner ef insolvent debtors. From 1821 to 1825 be was State SenatoF, and in the latter year resigned to de vote himself to bis practice, and be fore 1545 had attained to the leader ship of the Maryland bar. He also occupied a high position at the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States. In 184 he was elected a Senator of the United States for Morel :d ;pyV i" 1849 was Cabinet ! 'iL-i-t’itfirTTey 'Vjoner. 1 1 of the Unite ! States by President Taylor. On the death of the President, in 1850, lie retired from office, and continued to practice almost exclusively in the Su |>r< me Court ot the United States. In 18G1 he was a member of the Peace Congress, and in 1802 he was again elected to the United States Senate. He was employed by the Government as an umpire in the ad justment of questions which bad arisen with foreign governments, at New Orleans, during the war. In June, 1 j!GB, he was appointed Minis ter to England to succeed the Hon. Charles Francis Adams. He nego tiated a treaty for the settlement of the Alabama claims, which did not meet the views of the United States Senate, and it was rejected by a very large majority. He was recalled in 1809, and has since resided in Balti more. The President, it is now definitely decided, will not go to St. Louis to testify in Babcock’s behalf. The ostensible reason assigned by defen dant’s counsel is that Grant could not very well leave Washington without neglecting his official duties which is why he never could find time to visit Long Braneii or the Rocky Mountains,) the real reason’is doubtless something else. There "is no doubt it was the President’s in tention originally to go on the stand in person, but he has been dissuaded from that step by his friends and ad visers, who have succeeded in con vincing him that whatever might be the honesty and sincerity of his mo tives, the country would construe such action into contempt to rein force his testimony with'the peculiar influence which attaches to his high station. Indeed it is openly stated that the third term managers have represented to him that it would be fatal to their programme if, after such a manifestation of personal in terert in Babcock’s fortunes by the Pr*sideut, conviction shall ensue in spite of his testimony, and notwith standing the appeal into which his personal presence would be constru ed. The House Committee on w..r Claims will soon report a bill granting a rehearing claimants whose claims for loses arising from the late war have be.-n rejected l>y the Southern Claims Commission, and who have additional testimony to offer. This action, it approved by Congress and the President, will relieve the com raitee of over half the cases before them. The commitee in also consider ing the question of claims presented to Congress in behalf of various States for expehtitures incurred in equipping troops and for other pur poses growing out of the war. Jeli Davis to K. E. Lee. The reply of Jefferson Davis to the letter of Gen. Lee, already published, offering his resignation, was as fid lows: Richmond, Va., Aug. 11, 18G3. Gen. R. /•;. Lee. Commanding Ar iv/ of Northern Virginia: Yours ot lie Bth insf. has just been received. I am glad that you concur so entirely with me as to the wants of our coun try in this trying hour, and am hap py to add ' that after the first depression consequent upon our disasters in the west, indications have appeared that onr |>eopie will exhibit that fortitude which we agree in believing is alone needed to secure ultimate success. It well became Sydney Johnston, when overwhelmed by a senseless clamor, to admit the rule that suc cess is the test of merit; and yet there lias been nothing which I have found to require a greater effort of patience than to bear the criticisms of the ig norant, who pronounce everything a failure which does not equal their expectations or desires. I admit the propriety of your conclusions that an officer who looses the confidence of his troops should have his position changed, whatever may be his abil ity, but when I read the sentence I was not at all prepared for the ap plication you were about to make. Expressions of discontent furnish but little evidence of the sentiment of the army. 1 wish it were otherwise, even though all the abuse of myself should be accepted as the results of honest observation. Were you capable of stooping to it, you could easily surround yourself with those who would fill the press with laudations of you, and seek to exalt you for what you had not done rather than detract from the achieve ments which will make you and your army the subject of history and objects of’th© world’s admiration for generations to come. 1 am truly sorry to know that you still feel the effects of the illness you suffered last Spring, and can readily understand the embarrassments you experience in using the eyes of others having* been accustomed to make your own recoilnoissances. Practice will, however, do much to relieve that embarrassment and the minute knowledge of the country which you acquired will render you less depend ent for topographical information. But suppose, my dear friend, that I we re* to admit, with all their im plications the points which you pre sent, where tim 1 to find that new commander who is to possess the greater ability which you believe L to be required ? Ido not doubt the readiness with which you would give way to one who could accomplish all that you have wished, and you will do me the Justleo to believe that if Providence could kindly offer such a person for our use I would not hes itate to avail [myself] of his services. My sight is not sufficiently pene tracing to. Aisenver such hidden mer it, if it exists, and I have DIH ust-u to you the language of sober earnestness, when 1 have impressed on you the propriety of avoiding all unnecessary exposure to danger, because I felt our country could not bear to loose you. To ask me to substitute you by someone in my judgment more fit to command, or who would possess morejof the confidence of the army, or of tlie reflecting men of the coun try, is to demand an impossibility. It only remains for me to hope that you will take all possible care of yourself, that your health may be entirely restored, and that the Lord will preserve you for tlie important duties performed upon you in the struggle of our suffering country for the independence which we have en gaged in war to defend. As ever, very respectfully and truly. Jefferson Davii. There is Trouble in the Cabinet. Gen. 11. V. Boynton, the intimate personal friend of Secretary Bristow, sends the following dispatch to .the Cincinnati Gazette: The reported troubles in the late Cabinet meeting in regard to Bris tow are sensational. There have been no high words or excited con troversies. Outside of tlie Cabinet there is a desperate effort making by a num ber of politicians to induce the l*re£>- ident to direct the Attorney G/jfieral to assume ttw> '/JTUViW* Tr ~T'‘im Irnl of and to iinme li'Jrtttnyi list rue t the District Attor deys not to accept the testimony of any more informers, and to see that sentence is at once pronounced against all under conviction, or who, having plead guilty, have given evi dence which the Government has used. The letter of the Attorney-Gen eral to District Attorney Dyer, printed here to day, is in exact ac cord with what the politicians in terested have insisted upon. The issue sought to be made between the Department of Justice and the Sec retary of the Treasury is of a grave character, and believed by these pol iticians to involve the resignation of Gen. Bristow. They have seen for some time that it is impossible to get him out upon any direct issue over the whisky trials, but it is now hoped to make the issue one which can be made to appear as solely one of construction of law, and one tnat, through his .refusal to accept their interpretations of the law, can he made a sufficient ground for accept ing his resignation. The President has not as yet acceded to the de mands made upon him by these in terested parties, hut if possible they intend to make trouble and keep it alive till the chief force back of and pushing the whisky frauds is crowded out of the administration. The immediate and chief purpose of those most busy in this matter is to prevent further developments at Chicago and Milwaukee which might afford the country more sensations. By signifying to nil concerned that they mean business, the majority in the Louisana House have instructed a select committee to ascertain and report whether governor Kellogg and Lieut. Gov. Antoine are proper subjects for impeachment, and the committee has begun to take evi dence. If articles are actually pre sented. these officers are disabled for the time being from discharging any executive functions, and the (Demo cratic) Speaker becomes acting Gov ernor. Word comes from New Or leans that Ivelogg and Antoine have a lively sense of the situatoin, and are redoubling their efforts to per suade the Republican Seriate not to be stubborn about the returning hoard legislation. The upshot will probably be a conference and compro mise. The Dahloncpn Signal reports the opening of a gold mine on Long Swamp, Pickens county, which we believe is a little above the strip running from northeast to southwest through Georgia in which gold has heretofore been found in paying quantities. Mr. Sumerour, the owner of the mine, presented the deposit as very extensive, and he exhibited a lot of beautiful gold. There are in the neighborhood remains of old In dian workings for gold. Mr. S. also reports a silver lead in the same vicinity. Legal Advertisements. CT EORGIA, ISA mow COUNTY. T Whereas ’ll) iim.s Stephens, alitinistra tor of the estate of T. 1. Murohev.
