EX PH ESIDE ST DAVIS AND
GEN. SHERMAN.
Below will be found a charac
teristic letter front ex-Prcsident
Davis. On pnsc« 349 of volume
second of Sherman's “ Memoirs,”
where the author is detailing an
interview with General Joseph E.
Johnston, the following passage
occurs, which is the insinuation to
which Mr. Davis alludes:
As soon as we were alone to
gether I showed him the dispatch
announcing Mr. Lincoln s assas
sination and watched hirn closely.
The perspiration came out in large
drops on bis forehead, and he did
not attempt to conceal his dis
tress. He denounced the act as a
disgrace to the age, anu hoped I
did not charge it to the Confeder
ate Government. I told him I
could not believe that he or Gen-

army, in attempting, at this late
day, to resuscitate a defunct slan

THE TELFAIR FA MILT.
The recent death of Miss Mary
Telfair, the only surviving daugh
ter of ex-Gov. Edward Telfair,
and the publication of her will in
the Morning Netcs, have formed
the subject of comment by the
State press generally. Recollec
tions of this old and honored fam
ily have been revived, find grouped
together, would constitute (piite
an interesting chapter of the past.
The following is a brief sketch
of ex-Govcrnor Telfair, after
whom Telfair county is named :
He was born in Scotland, in
1735, on the farm of Toron Head,
the ancestral estate of the family.
At the age of 23, bo came to
America as an agent of a mercan
tile house, and resided in Vir
ginia for some time. In ITtiti, he
removed to Savannah, where lie
engaged in commercial pursuits.
During the revolution, lie was
conspicuous for his unswerving fi
delity to his adopted country. lie
was one of the brave band that
broke open the magazine at Sa
vannah, and seized the powder.
In February. 1778, he was elected
member of the Continental Con
gress and signed the ratification
of the articles of Confederation,
lie was re-elected to Congress in
1785, but did not take his seat.
He was Governor of Georgia from
the 9th of January, 178(3, to the
9th of January, 1787, and from
tho 9th of November, 1790, to
the 7th of November, 1793.
Gen. Washington visited Geor
gia in May, 1791, and was bril
liantly entertained by Gov. Telfair,
at liis family residence, near Au
gusta. On liis departure, Gen.
Washington addressed him the
following letter:
To Ilia Excellency, Edward Tel
fair, Governor of Georgia:
Acuusta, May 20. 1791.
Snt: Obeying the impulse of n
heartfelt gratitude, J express with
particular pleasure, my sense of
obligation which your Excellency’s
goodness and kind regards of your
citizens have conferred upon me
shall always entertain n most
Confederate Army could possih’y
be privy to nets of assassination;
but I would not say as much for
Jeff. Davis, George Sanders and
men of that stripe.”
Mf.mfhis.Texv., May 27,1875.
Col. IF. F. Mellen:
Mv Dear Sir.—Please accept
my thanks for your kind letter of
the 19th instant, A)td the accom
panying copy of a St. Louis pa
per containing nil extract from
the forthcoming work of Gen. W.
T. Sherman. My absence de
layed the receipt of your letter
and this reply to it. The malice
that seeks to revive the nefarious
ly concocted and long since ex
ploded slander which connected
mv name with the assassination of
President Lincoln, is quite in
character with the man who so
conducted his invasion of the
South, as to render “ Sherman's
bummers’ the synonym of pillage,
arson, cruelty to the helpless, and
murder of non-combatants, and
who closed his career of arson
with a false accusation against
General Hampton in regard to the
burning of Columbia, South Car
olina. lint the question arises,
why did General Sherman at the
date of his reported conversation
with General J. E. Johnston,
suppose me capable of complicity
in the assassination of
Lincoln? Gen. Sherman never
was personally acquainted with
me; and from those who knew
me, either in the United States
army, or in civil life surely learned
nothing to justify such suspicion.
In the conduct of the war between
the States, despite of lua y base-
hoped that thc incnidicable malig
nity of Sherman may tie an except
tiou to the prevailing sentiments
of the United States army. Again
thanking you for your friendly
consideration, I am very truly
yours, Jefferson Davis. *
ENGLISH vs. AM ERICAL CHIL
DREN.
The physical strength and hard
ness of the English have long been
a subject for the admiration and
wonder of their French and Atuer-
ean visitors. These are due to
the system pursued by English
parents to ttieir children uln:o«t
from the hovr of their Li th. In
stead of the French lior-bous,
French dresses, late houis, and
other abominations which make
American children, erperially
girls, puny, nervous and sickly a',
ion or twelve years of age, Eng
lish children have built up, before
arriving at that age, a fund of vi
tality which lasts them thiough
life. They rise at h ilf-past seven,
all the year round. They are
carcful’y bathed and rubbed, and
by half-past eight, arc hungry for
breakfast, which consists of a dish
of oatmeal or hominy and a bowl
of milk or of Epp's cocoa, wiht a
little stale bread crumbled in it.
Instead of the oatmeal or hominy,
they may occasionally have a per-
inade to support one family, and! It was accidental, and in my judg-
the hired laborer besides.
Describing these miniature farms,
a writer in Chambers Journal
says ’ the fields are mostly square,
and rarely contain mare than one
acre; the ground is curved sym
metrically ,'°*the centre being the
so that the water drains
down equally in all directions.
Round the field, and a foot lower,
extends a strip of grass, three or
four yards wide; still lower, a
hedge ot elders is planted, which
is ct every seven years; and, fi
nally, the plat is surrouuded by a
ditch, lioracred with trees of lar-
S r growth. Thus, each piece
rnishes rich grass, firewood, ev
ery seven years, and timber for
building* every thirty years. The
plough is generally used, but ev
ery seven years the subsoil is
turned to tho top by the spade,
and thus it acquires a depth un-

what, then, did the suspicion of

malicious traits ot his own nature?

It is a notorious fact that in
many portions of the South, our
agriculture has declined steadily
for the past'ten years. Fanners
have grown poorer each year, and
lands have declined in. value until
there really was no sale for them.
To those who gave the subject any
thought, the reason was very
pluiu. We have, as a people,
been devoting our entire energies
aud resources to the cultivation of
cotton and tobacco to the exclu
sion br ouier crops, xae neces
sity of diversifying our agricul
ture, was too plain for argument,
and yet , each year, farmers would
continue in the same beaten track,
only to reap disaster and disap
pointment. Agricultural socie
ties were formed and lectures
read, grangers were organized and
speakers appointed, who contin
ued to harp on the ruinous ' all
cotton’ system, but apparently
with Utile effect. Last year, the
State Granges pass ‘d a resolution
requesting farmers to plant one-
third corn, one-third small grain
uid one-third cotton. These con
tinued efforts of those who have
hail tho prosperity of the South
at heart, seem, at last, to he bring-
forth fruit. Information from
all parts of the South bring the
pleasing intelligence that more
grain will lie raised ill the South
this year, than any year since the
surrender. Ail officer connected
with the Green Line, informs the
writer that their line had over
twelve hundred cars side-racked,
owing to the less of the grain and
bacon carrying. That there had
been loss corn and bacon brought
to Georgia during the past season
than had been known since the
surrender. That during the month
of November, there was but one
car load of corn that came south
of Chattanooga, mi event unprece

Who, it may l»e asked, are re
ally the only thrifty and progres
sive agriculturists of Georgia?
Wo answer, those land owners
who, with their sturdy sons, bear
tho brunt and heat of the season,
and with their own hratvn and
muscle cultivate, harvest and en
joy the proceeds of their labors.
These men raise their own beef,
butter, mutton, bacon aud vege
tables, and oft times, also, sugar,
syrup, rice and flour. Moreover,
their surplus land, if uot advan
tageously rented, is used for pas
turage, or allowed to grow up and
recuperate. They are ever ready,
also, to aeO to the thrifty white
emigrant, and thus enhance the
taxable and productive values of
the country
This assertion we are prepared
to prove by the evidence of hun
dreds of small farmers, whereas,
those cultivating large plantations,
with exceptional and almost soli
tary instances, to tho contrary,
make grievous failures, and grow
poorer every year. Let us emu
late the Belgian, therefore, and
/ores"mother earth by kind treat
ment and tireless enetgy, to yield
her utmost for the support of
those who draw tbeir sustenance
from her generous bosom.—Tele

Not iiy
some isolated instances a man may
become wealthy through a series
of circumstances very much resem
bling “ luck,” but, as a rule, those
who would enjoy success must
work hard for it. Twenty clerks
in a store, twenty hands in a prin
ting office, twenty apprentices in
a shipyard, twenty young men in
a village—all want to get on in the
world, and expect to do so. One
of the clearks will liecmue a part
ner, and make a fortune; one of
the compositors will own a news
paper and become an influential
citizen; one of the apprentices w ill
become a master builder; one of
the young villagers will get a
handsome farm, and live like a
patriarch—but which one is the
iucky individual? Lucky t There
is rarely any luck about it. The
yoiiug fellow who will distance his
competitors is he who masters his
huisness, who preserves his integ
rity, who lives cleanly and purely,
who devotes bis leisure to the ac
quisition of knowledge, who gains
friends by deserving them, and
who saves his spare money. There
are some ways to fortune shorter
than this o|d dusty highway; hut
the staunch men of the community,
the men who achieve something
really worth having, good fortune,
good name, and serene old age,
all go in this road.

COL CHARLESI. GRAVES.
Col. Charles Iverson, Graves,
who 1ms been a citizen of (iur
county since the surrender,' ainl
who has recently accepted a cotn-
mission from tho Khhdive ns Lfon-
tenaiitrColoiicl of Engineers in the
Egyptian artny, cutered the Uni
ted States Navy in December,
1853, at tho age of 14. He grad
uated at the Naval Academy at
Annapolis as one of the * first fiye,’
or distinguished midshipmen, nhtl
passed successively through the
grades of midshipman, passed utid-
■»nij)unuu"niJvsR.'t-:utir» ucnicuniir.
His first cruise was made in the
old sloop-of-war Preble, on tho
coast of Southern Europe; and
tho next in the Plymouth, North
Atlantic station. lie subsequently
served in the steam frigate Min
nesota, East India squadron, and
then on the steam corvette Iro
quois, in the Meditciranoun, anil
in the Saranac, in the Pacific.
On his arrival in the United
States, in Dccemlier, 18(31, he
promptly resigned his commis
sion, returned South and tendered
his services to the Southern Con
federacy, accepted a commission
as a lieutenant in the Navy', which
he shortly vacated for that of Ma
jor of artillery in the regular Con
federate army, when ho was or
dered to the command of a battery
at Acquia creek. After the evac
uation ofContrevillc, he was trans
ferred back to the Navy at liis
own request and sent to Mobile.
In May, 1883, he went to Eu
rope on ' special service,’ was ab
sent eighteen months, and on liis
return home, and during flic rest
of the war, was Professor of As
tronomy and Navigation in the
Naval School at Richmond, and
flag-lieutenant of the James river
squadron under Commodore
Mitchell.

Don't Do It.—Don’t flirt with

Don’t underbill your ago. Your

Don’t rush. At tho end of the
race you will suffice to convict the
world of your folly.
Don’t magnify your neighlior’s

your own virtues.
Don't boast of your riches.

An Expensive Luxury.—-The
Beecher trial, : which has ftiriiishcd
such an amount of choice reading
matter to the pruient scandal mon
gers of the country, promises to
ho a very expensive ‘luxury;

with all ot them. There is tor ex

a day. It is big pay, but the
wealthy corporation known as
Plymouth Church (knowing the
consequences if Beecher is con
demned) foots the bills Mr.
Evarts hill already must be some
thing like $30,000; for this singu
lar trial has already been going on
these three months, and muy yet
become, if it has not already grown
to be, one of the ostnblishcu insti
tutions of the country. And there
arc othei lawyers engaged in this
case who are also getting very lib

How to Succeed.—If your
seat is too hard to sit upon, stand
up. If a rock rises up before
you, roll it away, or climb over
it. If you want money, earn. it.
If you wish for confidence, prove
yourself worthy of it. It takes
longer to skin an elephant than a
mouse, but the skin is worth
something. Don’t bq content
with what another has done; sur
pass it. Deserve success, and it
will come. Tho boy was uot
born a man. The son does not
rise like a rocket, or go down
like a bullet fired from a gun; it
slowly but surely niukes it rouud,
aud never tires. It is as easy to
be a leader as a wheel-horse. If
the job be long, the pay will be
greater; if the task lie hard, the
more competent you must be to
do it.
There ia one thing, however, re
tain, from what Blair and others have
written, and from what army officeis
have stated, we are satisfied that Ge-.
Sherman will be compelled to write
another book. His Gn-t two volumes

ion, worthy of note as to battles, move*
meats and officers, but there will, be
need of another volume or volumes.—
It reminds us of the ancient and learn
ed wr t-r of the sixteenth century who,
after the labor ot years, published in
Latin a work entitled “De Omnibus
Rebus,” (^Concerning All Things.”)

were uttered, and he was forced to

A Wonderful Plant.—In an nd*
dress delivered before the British A -
iocia ion for the advaucenictitof.Sci'-
rnce, Dr. Hooker exhibited a wonder
ful plant called “ Dional.” A Liver
pool paper, in an account of it says t:
“A fly was captured and put upon n-t
leaf, which instantly closed, and on.
reopening, it was found that the fly
was dissolved. A bit of beef was af- •
terward consuumed in the same way.
The leaf was then fed with cheese,
which disagreed, with it horribly, and
eventually killed it. Dr. Hooker ex-
plhiued that the plant’s action was pre
cisely that of the human stomach. The
leaf rejected a piece of wet chalk.”
