A Good Plan.—The Hawkinsville Dispatch publishes the names of all the candidates who join the Good Templar's lodge in that place.

Commendable.- -There seems to be a disposition manifested by the authorities to cleanse the city of its imparities. The sanitary measures now being prosecuted by the Board of Health will, no doubt, benefit the city, and prevent any epi demic from arising and spreading in the community. We hail with pleasure* therefore, the activity of the city authori ties in compelling parties guilty of throw ing offensive matter on the 4 street to re move the same. By pursuing this course, tbe continued health and prosperity of the city will remain uninterrupted. Between 9 and 10 o’clock yesterday 1 morning the Masonic fraternity formed procession and marched to the Masonic Female College. The members who join ed the prooeesion were entirely too few for the occasion. After the prooeesion had reached the College Chapel end the members were Mated, the President announced that it would be some time before the exercises would begin and that the audience would please examine the specimens of art sus pended on tbe walls. Some twenty spe cimens of crayoning and needle-work gave evidence of some proficiency in teacher and pnpils. At 10J o’clock tbe exercises were open ed by music on the piano by Misses Rees and Fogle. President Brown then stated that the exercises were not a Commencement proper, but a substitute under the title of Class Exercises. ” Miss Rena Brown then appeared and read in good style a beautiful poem on Sunlight ” We give the reader an op portunity to judge of the merits of this original poem by a Southern College girL I sat by the open window. Quite early the other day, All alone In my study— For my classmates were sway. Tbe world wae bright about me, Tbe sunshine lay on tbe floor, On tho wall, and on the table— Weaving mystic figures on tbe door. An open book lay before me And thoughtfully I studied on Daring hardly to look before me— For the task was not half done. Till by and by the gleeeome sunahioo A little tired with its play, Left tbe door to tbe shadows And quietly crept sway. Deftly crept upon tbe table And over my open book— Making it bright sad cheerful. Stealing away its sober look. How could I but see tbe sunshine, How could 1 but think of it too, And let it creep into my heart As it seemed to long to do ? God’s beautiful, glorious euuahine It filled both heart and soul With its joy and its loveliness Thus purifying the whole. And as it crept in so gently Filling my heart with love I knew it was a “ winged messenger,*’ From the spirit land above. A sweet and holy messenger It sang (hie song of love In tones so soft and gentle That angels beard it,—angels above. Scattered thick o’er every vale, Violets huk and cowslips gleam O’er the hill-side and o’er tho dale Han£8 the sunshine's golden sheen. Opening roses their sweets diffuse And where lillies smile in robes of white Soft carnations shower their dews Lovely in God’s supernal light. E’en on the damp and mossy mound, ’Neath which tbe loved and lost lie sleeping, They brightly Woo pi—and shower down Their dewy tears—louo watch keeping. Birds with frill and joyons songs of lovo Four forth their strains oi grateful praise To Him, who throned in majesty above Doth uot forget to “ keep their ways.” Then why should not you, e’en in sorrow Be full of hope—and trust to Him Who sends a sun for each to-morrow And turns dark night to brightest day. This song done -I went back to my lesson And found again no rough, bard part, For God’s sunshine in my heart Glinted down on every letter— Making me happier—wiser—better! After tbe reading by Miss Brown the audience was entertained by music from Misses Bees and Brown. Miss Carrie Patterson next read a his tory of her class and classmates. She re lated pleasingly the incidents of scientific travel, and humorously and wittily sketch ed the prominent points in the characters of her class mates. Music by Mrs. Robinson and Miss Mol ly Hawkins.

Ga., June 14,1870. Mb. Editor: To vary the monotony of town life, I hied me away to the green fields and pure air of the country last Saturday. A few mSee drive brought me tothe pleasant little place of Friendship,, and I am sore it is well calculated to carry the name, fox if you wish to find gennine hospitality, you ean find it among the good people of “that little’spot” Remote as it is from the busy noise of the railroad, nevertheless it does within its borders a thriving trade. Messrs. Nelson A Holly, grocery and dry goods merchants, are laying for themselves a good foundation for the time to come— a well selected stock and plenty of trade. Aro and Friendship exists a community that makes social life there a pleasure ; the influence of morality and religion are not at a discount, and a thriving Sabbath school is evidenoe of a healthful condi tion of things in the place. Woman is beautiful at home, and I truly found it so when I accepted the hospitality of friend Nelson, and made his quiet homestead a resting place from the heat and dust of a long ride. To tbe kind lady of my friend I owe my thanks fox true hospitality that ever carries with it a refinement of feeling. Behind a no ble span of horses, with a friend, I went into Webster, and found the crops in an elegant condition, but, I am sorry to say, I saw more cotton planted \han corn. Fatal delusion ! I am afraid it is now too late for repentance, and the judg ment day will dawn npon the farmer of this country next fell, and they will call upon the rocks and hills to fall upon them and hide thenv—from their creditors. In this connection I must say, though, that in Webster county I saw more corn planted this spring in proportion than I have seen in any other section of South western Georgia. Now, Mr. Editor 450 to Friendship and try for yonrself the hospitality of 'its good people. Calhoun. Letter from a Subscriber. Goliad, Texas, May 28, 1870. Editor Sumter Republican:—I enclose to yon a few of the insignia of Yankee domination in these Western lands. They are the only memento the down trodden South needs to bring to mind the heroic valor and tried patriotism of people that might be overpowered, but never were conquered. The high aristocracy of the South did not sacrifice themselves for a lost cause. That cause—the cause of constitutional liberty—will live and flourish, when and names now in high repute will not Poor Georgia, may God have mercy on her, and visit her Vandal destroyers ac cording to their sins. These shinplasters aro all the greenbacks I have months. People hero use specie alto gether. Crops are fine here, though the weath er is quite dry. Stock is fine and plenty. A fine yonnglow mole was sold in town to-day for $15. Our market snpplies with beef from one end of tbe year to tho other, as fine as need be, at three cents a pound, and butter at from 121 to 25c. a* pound. Ac. I. N. M’C. Try tlie equine remedies. Equine remedies never disappoint. The Richmond Whig learns that the Polish colony recently established under the auspices of the Virginia Land Agency, in the upper part of Amherst Si and in Bedford couuty, is prospering well. The colonists have already planted ont 50,000 grape vines, and speak fldentiy of a largo return. They ari peering an accession of one thousand emigrants to join them in a few weeks. The Hon. Caleb Cashing, the President of ti<i« Emigration Colonization Society, refers to it as a great enterprise, from which fhc most important and valuable results aro to be expected. Worthy of admiration was the stoicism of a Devonshire man, who, when on his death bed the other day, begged his wife and children to have the funeral procession start early, so that they might bo sure and get back by milking time. —The Valdosta Times learns that at the coming session of the Georgia Legis lature an effort will be made to form a new county, from portions of the conn- ties of Wayne and Appling, with Jessap as the county site. It is proposed to call the new county Ashby, after the lamented General Ashby, of Virginia fame. In the Supreme Court on the 7th, the following cases from this circuit were heard: No. 13—Jacob J.

The Seaport Appeal retracts as follows: “Some strictures appeared in onr editorial columns last week, doling the absence of the editor, npon a para graph from the Americas Republican, which were rather severe.
