Poutli Georgia Agricultural and

. ,i :i, sigueil thinks it would
ter to name hastily some of
the motives that prompted the origi
nators of this Association and to
nialsc the effort to establish, on a
firm basis, an association of this kind
in the southern portion of the State.
We had lor years draggled along
with our county agricultural societies
and in some instances, had attempt
ed fairs; but it was obvi ms to all
that, we iieml'-d an association in
which all i he )i< .heoi South Georgia
and Middle Florida could, by combi
nation, present such a power a.~
wouid attract the attention of per
sons from abroad and the respect rf
the citizens of the sections above
referred to. And further, by such
organization, to bring from a dis
tance the new developments made
in agricultural implements and the
new applications which are daily
being made in Mechanics. And by
so doing place our section in line
with the progress of the age.
Such were some of the reasons
upon which we acted. The question
presents itself: Have wo been true
to our original intention ? We proud
ly refer to the past. We have one
ol the handsomest Fair Grounds in
the State—we have commodious
buildings— machinery for the pur
pose of testing all new machinery
-we are out of debt—every indebt
edness has been paid—all of our
property is ours. Have the citizens
of tiie. section which wc address any
other nucleus around which to gath
er '! It not, let us lay aside all other
leeling, only that one of love of sec
tion, and crowd our Fair with offer
ings of stock, the production of
tin* soil, and such specimens of ma
chinery as may be ours. Let ns, by
our own determined efforts, make
such impression on the pui lie abroad
that wc will force them to our Fair
with the productions of their skill
and labor.
To our own immediate county and
town, let. me say to you, above all
others, you are interested in the
success of this enterprise. Let even
planter and mechanic, bring forth
something, it matters not how hum
ble, tor it will be to die Association
a mark of good will and an effort to
encourage us in the future.
To the merchants, who have here
tofore been so lukewarm, let us ask
of you to till our Hall with all such
wares and goods as will show your
enterprise, and by sa doing \ hi will
show to the stranger that your town
is a market where the needs of the
surrounding country can bo met. i
assure tot that it is the best adver
tisement y<»u can off, r to the public.
If our people wh!i Deir section to
prosper, they niiij-i encourage the
efforts being made in tb 'ir behalf to
develope the same.
Let us then lay aside every day,
for the short time intervening, some
portion thereof and devote the. same
to the success of our coming Fair.'
Respectfully.

it will be next to impossible to com

my undying love.
existence have been spent in thy
dear presence. They are indelibly-
stamped upon the tablets of my
memory: and while reason main
tains her throne, never, never, can I
for an instant forget the one that is
dearer and more precious to me
than all things on earth. Darling,
this is not the raving of school-boy
sentiment, but tis the pure, genuine
love of a man; one whose only hap
piness consists in anticipating the
wishes of the Queen who rules su
preme within his heart. Can you
doubt my love, Darling ? You do
not look upon me as being a flatter
er and destroyer of women’s hearts
and happiness? As God is my judge,
I am seriously and earnestly in love
with my angel. You asked me if I
ever intended to marry. I will ans
wer your question, darling, in a few
words. I will, provided I am per
mitted to lead to the altar the wo
man of my choice. Otherwise never,
fliat love which is all thine, shall
never be lavished upon another.
You alone have the power to charm
me. In the possession of your dear
self, I would drive dull care away,
and 1 High to scorn the troubles and
trials of this life. Darling, I am
sanguine in all my undertakings;
passionate in all my likes and dis
likes. I either love or hate with
my whole soul and might. Mv love
for you is off lie kind that never
changes. Friends who live to-day
and to-morrow, have passed lo eter
nity—may lie forgotten in the course
of human events—but you, my life,
my angel, will never be, while I am
capable of exercising thought. Oh,
that I could call thee mine, mine
only! and bring you to my home,
where you, darling, would meet
with a cordial reception, and be the
household pet and pride. Shall our
happiness ever be consummate d ?
Heaven grant that it may. Darling,
I live in hopes of it, and in future it
will be my aim to study your
happiness. Your darling little girl
I already love tor thy sake. She
shall be mine also. I would like so
much to see her. I know she is
beautiful as a flower; a perfect little
cherub. Well, dearest, I will con
clude. If I see no impropriety in
my going with you, I will do so; but
not for the world would I bring you
into any trouble by any act of mine.
It. is now about time to go walking
and I expect to meet you there. If
convenient, let me hear from you be

kisses, and thousands of g ntle

HINTS TO WIVES W r HO DON’T
UNDERSTAND THEIR HUS
BANDS
An article on “Women's Men,” in
the Saturday Review, contains these
hints:
Nothing surprises men more than
the odd ignorance of women con
cerning them: and half the unhap
piness in married life, at least in
England, springs from that ignor
ance. They cannot be made to un
derstand the difference between a
man’s nature and requirements and
their own; and they condemn all
that they cannot understand. In
those few rational homes where
men’s sports and gatherings, undis
turbed by tiie presence-of petticoats,
are not made occasions tor suspicion
or remonstrance, the stock of love
a d happiness with which .married
life began is more like the widow’s
curse than elsewhere; but unfortu
nately for both husbands and wives,
these homes are rare; while those are
common, where a game of billiards
in the evening is occasion for tears
or pouting, and deadly offence is
taken at club dinners or a week's
shooting. The consequence of which
is deceit or dissension; and some
times both.
The woman’s ideal man has none
of these erratic tendencies. His
business done, he comes home with
the docility of a well-bred pointer
sent to heel, and finds energy enough
after his hard day’s work for a
variety of petits soins which make
him more precious in her eyes than
all the tact, the temper, the judg
ment, the uprightness he has mani
fested in his dealings with the out
side world. And the domesticity
which she claims from her husband
she demands from her son. Latch
keys are her abomination, and the
“gas left burning" is as a beacon
light ou the way of destruction. She
lias the profoundest suspicion of all
the men her boy calls his friends.—
She never knows into what mischief
they may lead him, but she is sure
it is mischief if they keep him away
from his home in tiie evening. She
would prescribe the same social re
straints lor her son as for her daugh
ter, and she thinks the energies of
masculine nature require no wider
field anu no looser rein. But though
she likes those tame and tender men
whom she can tie up close to her
apron strings and lovingly imprison
in the narrow domain of home,’she
succumbs without a struggle to the
square-jawed brute of the Rochester
type, the man who dominates by the
mere force of superior strength; and
she is not too severe on Don Juan,
if only she can flatter herself that
she is the best loved and the last.
That these are the men most liked
by women is shown both by their
own novels and by daily observation;
and it seems to us that, among the
many subjects lor extended study of
late proposed for women, a better
aequaiutauce with men’s minds, a
higher regard for the nobler kind of
man, and the ability to accept love
as only one of many qualities, and
not always the strongest or the most
praiseworthy of his impulses, would
not be out of place.

KEEP IT TO YOURSELF.
You have trouble, your feelings
are injured, your husband is unkind,
your wife frets, your home is not
pleasant, your brethren do not treat
you just right, and things in general
move unpleasantly.
Well, what of it ? Keep it to your
self. A smouldering fire can be
found and extinguished; but when
the coals are scattered who can pick
them up? Fire brands when to
gether can be trodden upder foot,
but when tied to the tails dt Samson's
foxes it is difficult to tell Where they
will burn.
Bury your sorrow. The place for
sad and disgusting things is under the
ground. Charity covereth a multi
tude of sins. Things thus covered,
are often cured without a scar; but
when they are once published and
confided to meddling- friends, there
is no CDd to the trouble they may
cause.
Keep it to yourself. Troubles are
transient, and when sorrow’s healed
and past, what a comfort it is to

SWIMMING THE ENGLISfl
CHANNEL.
The recent attempt of Johnson to
swim across the English Channel
from Dover has created quite an ex
citement in England, and is com
mented upon in various papers, and
compared with other feats ot the
same kind on record. The best
known of these latter appears to be
that of “Brock the swimmer, ’ of
Yarmouth, published in the Sailors’
Magazine in 1840. Brock was
thrown into'the sea by the upsetting
of a yawl. Though only six miles
from land, the setting ot the tide was
so strong that he, an experienced
boatman, knew it would take him a
swim of some fifteen miles to reach
the shore. He struck out boldly.—
After being five hours in the water,
he found himself off' Yarmouth, and
but four miles from his own door. —
He was then utterly exhausted, and
the flying gulls every now and then
made dashes at him, mistaking him
for a corpse. He continued to float,
however, for two hours longer, when
he was picked up by a passing ves
sel. He was then fourteen miles
from the place where the yawl sank,
and had been seven hours in the
water. He fainted on being taken
aboard, but was well rubbed, wrap
ped in hot blankets, and p1;t to bed.
His neck and chest, the soles of his
feet, and his hands were found to be
almost raw, and his suffering from
the saline particles of seawater must
have been terrible. He recovered
completely in five days.

lying. The boys followed hooting.
Tom stumbled and fell. One of tbe
boys, ahead of the rest, came upon
him. Tom drew a knife and stabbed
the boy through the heart. At the
tjial which ensued it was shown that
Tom Kelly was more than half craz
ed, and he was acquitted, but kept
in confinement as a lnnatic. Here
his instincts as a miner stood him in
good stead: he burrowed out and
escaped. Before long Tom was at
work in his mine again, but he was
now more secretive than ever. He
built himself a stone house, where
each window was an embrasure
pointing out of which was fixed a
loaded musket, and the only man
who ever got enough into Tom’s con
fidence to examine the house, says
that there was also a fixed rnnsket
enfilading the doorway. He told
this person that he was having an
iron house built for himself that he
thought would be more secure. In
general it was but little, and only to
mere children, that Tom ever spoke.
And there came a day, some two
years ago, when Tom found it ncces-
ary to prepare to go to a house
where he is likely to be permanently
afe. Two brothers, almost as un
couth as Tom himself, came hovering
about ihe dying man. He asked the
priest to bring a lawyer; and when
this was effected said; “If you will
send them out,” pointing to his two
brothers, “I will tell all.” But the
brothers would not go out of the
house, and Tom diew as mute as he
had lived. Application to the prop
er authorities of New York recover
ed Toni’s gold which he had been
too much frightened to apply lor
after his escape. The brothers left
not one stone ot the house upon
another, and they found about $20,-
000 hidden in and around it. Out
of Tom’s cave they took, in addition,
it is believed, ore to the valve of uot
less than $100,000. They divided
their treasures as they found gold or
gold ore, by dealing out coin or bills
as it it were cards at poker, one to
each alternarely. What there is left
of Tom Kelly’s real estate looks like
the debris of an earthquake.

There is a shade of romance con
nected with another lead cave which
I visited. There poor old Tom Kelly
lived and died; poor, though rich.
Tom was an uneducated Irishman,
and when he had discovered his
cave, he kept the fact to himself.
He smelted bis own ore and carried
his lead down to the river bank,
secretly, un .il he had hidden m the
bank about $12,000 worth of lead.
This he shipped and went with it
down the river, reshipping it at New
Orleans and going with it to New
York, where he sold it, taking his
pay in gold. Perhaps the gold was
heavier than the lead. At all events
poor Tom sat down with his money
bags to rest, and as he was a dirty
looking old iellow, some boys collec
ted around him and began poking
fun at him. A great fear seized Tom
—a fear for his money bags. He
snatched them np and started to run

Illustrating the fearful consequen
ces of this highly retributive meas
ure, the Philadelphia Post tells the
following upon the Ledger of that
city.
This fearful threat reminds us of
a story about Mr. Swain years ago,
when he was the proprietor ot the
Ledger. By his course in regard
to some public matter he had offen
ded a number of his readers, one ot
whom he met on Chestnut street,
and thus accosted him:
‘Mr. Swain, I’ve stopped tiie Led
ger.’
‘What is that sir ?’
‘I’ve stopped the Ledger,’ wa s
the stern reply.
Great heavens! said Mr. Swain,
‘my dear sir, that won’t do. This
must be looked into.’ And, taking
the man with him, he entered the
office at Third and Chestnut streets.
There they found the clerks busy at
their desks; then they ascended to
the editorial rooms and composing
rooms, where all was as usual; final
ly they descended to the press rooms,
where the engineers were at wo.tk.
‘I thought you told me you had
stopped the Ledger,’ said Mr.
Swain.
‘Sol have,’ said the offended sub
scriber.
‘I don’t see the stoppage. The
Ledger seems to be going on.’
‘Oh ! I mean to say—that is, that
I—ah—had stopped taking it.’
“Is that all exclaimed Mr. Swain.

know how you alarmed me. As for
your individual subscription I care
very little. Good day sir, and never
make such rash assertions again.’

In Pennsylvania the average Re
publican majority for the last three
years has been 6,290 votc3, in an ag
gregate of 590,000. This we shall
have to overcome by accessions
from the Liberal Republicans and
German element, and the Democrat
ic vote will go solid for the Liberal
Democratic ticket.
In Ohio the average Republican
majority for the last three years was
about, 5,000. The coalitionists are
very confident of breaking this down
and carrying the State.
In Indiana tiie Democrats carried
the State by 2,558 majority in the
last election, 1870, for Secretary of
State.
Iowa seems joined with her idols
a large Republican majority for the
last three years.
Nebraska for the last three years
has been very close—only about
3,000 Republican majority.

The Liberal Platform.
The following are tne resolutions in full
adopted by the Liberal Republican National
Convention at Cincinnati in May, and endors
ed by the Democratic Convention in July.-
We, tbe Liberal Republicans of the United
States, in National Convention assembled at
Cincinnati, proclaimed the following principles
as essential to a just government:
First—We recognize tbe equality of all men
before the law, and hold that it is the duty of
tho government, in its dealings with the people,
to mete out equal and exact justice to all; of
whatever nativity, race, color, persuasion, re
ligious or political.
Second—We pledge ourselves to maintain
the union of these States, emancipation and
enfranchisement, and.to oppose any reopening
of tbe questions settled by the Thirteenth,
Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments of tbe
constitution,
Third—We demand the immediate and abso
lute removal of all disabilities imposed on ac
count of the rebellion, which was finally sub
dued seven years ago, believing that universal
amnesty will :esult in tbe complete pacification
of all sections of the country.
fourth—Local self-government, with impar
tial suffrage, will guard the rights ofall citizens
more securely than any centralized power. The
public welfare requires the supremacy of the
civil over tha military authority, and the fiec
dom of persons under the protection of the ha
beas corpus. We demand for the individual
the largest liberty consistent with public order
for the State’s self-government, and for the
nation a retnn to the methods of peace and
the corstitotional limitations of power.
Fifth—The civil service of the government
has become a mero instrument of partisan
tyranny and personal ambition, and an object
ol selfish greed. It is a scandal and reproach
upon our free institutions, and breeds a demor
alization dangerous to the perpetuity of repub
lican government. We therefore regard a
thorough reform of the civil service as on* of
the most pressing necessities of the hour; that
honesty, capacity and fidelity constitute tho
only valid claims to public employment; that
the offices of the government cease to be a mat
ter of arbitrary favoritism and pntronage. and
that public stations become agai" poets of hon
or. To this end it is imperatively required that
no President shall be a candidate for re-elec-
tien.
S : xth—We demand a system of federal taxa
tion which shall not unnecessarily interfere
with the industry of the people, and which
shall provide means necessary to pay the ex
penses of the government, economically admin
istered, pensions, the ir terest on the public
debt, and a moderate redaction, annually, of
the principal thereof, and recognizing that
there are in onr midst honest, but irreconcila
ble differences of opinion with regard to the
respective systems of protection and free trade,
we remit discussion of the subject to tha peo
ple in their congressional districts, and to the
decision of Congress thereon, wholly free of
executive interference or dictation.
Seventh—The public credit must be sacredly
maintained, and we denounce repudiation in
every form and guise.
Eight—A speedy return to specie payments
is demanded alikd by the highest considerations
of commercial morality and honest government.
Ninth—We remember with gratitude the
heroism and sacrifice of t^e soldiers and sailors
of the republic, and no act of oars shall ever
detract from their justly earned fame or of the
full reward of their patriotism.
Tenth—We ore opposed ie all farther grants
ef lands to railroads rr other corporations.
The public -domain should be held sacred to
actual settlers.
Eleventh—We hold that it is the duty of the
government, in its intercourse with foreign na
tions, t* cultivate the friendship of peace by
treating with all on fair and equal terms, re
garding it alike dishonorable either to demand
what is notright or to submit to what is wrong.
Twelfth—For the promotion and success of
these vital principles, and tbe support of the
dandidates nominated by this convention, we
invite and cordially welcome the co-operati on
ef all patriotic citizens, without regard to pre
vious political a liation.
MARVEL NOT.
“But, my brethren and sisters,
the worst of all gambling is marvels,
for how solemnly does the Bible
warn us to marvel not," said an in
telligent Divine in a sermon against
the sin of gambling. Another one
of the same class, who could not
read, called upon a brother to read
a chapter for him, that he might
get a text. The Drother selected
the 22d chapter of Genesis, and
when he came to the 23d verse, he
happened to make a transposition
ot the word “did,” placing it before
instead of after “Milcah.” The

badge, was accosted by a Grant man
yesterdy, on a Fulton ferry boat,
with the remark: “Well, I suppose
you are going to vote for Greeley?”
“Correct. I shall vote for Gree
ley,” replied the Southerner.
“On what grounds?”
“On tiie grounds of what he knows
about farming.”
“What does Greeley know about
farming?”
“He knows that when a pile of
manure' gets too high it requires
spreading.”
Exit Grant man.
GRAND
Presidential Struggle
FOB. 1872.
Telegraph & Messenger,
The campaign for 1872 Will ha a gigantic
and convulsive struggle. Notbihg like it bu
been seen since 1840, and in tbe momentous
and fundamental character of the issues in
volved, we trust nothing like it need oceuf
again in the history of the United States- Wa
hope it will result in tbe reestablishment ot
tbe great foundation principles of civil and per
sonal freedom and its time hotioicd muniments
—of the loeal independence of tbe States—o,
the freedom of the ballot—of the impartilaity
of public justice—of the integrity of Executive
administration—of tbe inviolability of tha
habeas corpus—of the triumph of law and tha
Constitution—and in tbe complete victory
ef peace, conciliation, national harmony and
tranquility over the demon of discord, nsnrpa-
ion. tyranny, hatred, and tbe moral and eee-
tionalwar proclaimed by Grant, Morton and
Butler.
Id Georgia, however it may be elsewhere,
the result of this contest is not at all proble.
matical; but an intense a nd overwhelming in
terest will nevertheless be felt in its progress
and result, and the grand medium of informa
tion heie will be the different editions of the
Telegraph and Messenger.
