Zv CONSCIENCE AND FUTURE ™ JUDGMENT. 1 «at alone with iny conscience, In a place where time had ceased, And we talked of my former living In the land where the years increased. And felt I should have to answer The question it put to me, And to face the answer and question Throughout an eternity. The ghosts of forgotten actions Came floating before my sight. And things that I thought were dead things Where alive with a terrible might, And the vision of all my past life Was an awful thing to face, Alone with my conifelenc* sitting In that solemnly silent place. And I thought of a far-away warning, Os a sorrow that was to be mine, In a land that then was the future, Hut now was (he present time. And I thought of my former thinking Os the judgment day to be, But sitting alone with my conscience Seemed judgment enough for me. And I wondered if there was a future To this land beyond the grave ; But no one gave me an answer, And no one came to save. Then 1 felt that the future was present, And the present would never go by, /'irit nvis hut the thought of my past lift) Crown into eternity. Thm 1 woke front my timely dreaming, And the vision passed away, And l knew the far away warning Was a warning of yesterday. And 1 pray that 1 may not forget it, In this land before the grave ; That 1 may not cry in the future, And no one come to save. And so 1 have louviit a lessor! Which 1 ought to have known before. And which though 1 learnt it dreaming, I hope to forget no more. Ho 1 sit alone 1 with my conscience In the place where the years increase, Ami 1 try to remember the future In the land where time will cease. And 1 know of a future judgment, How dreadful soe'er it bo. That to sit alone with my conscience Will be judgment enough for me. [London Spectator.

Greeley’s Acceptance of the Baltimore Nomination. New York, July 18,1872. Gentlemen : Upon mature deliberation it seems fit that I should give your letter of the 10th inst.. some further and fuller response than the hasty, unpremeditated words in which I ac knowledged and accepted your nomination at our meeting on the 12th. T hat your convention saw ht to accord its highest honor to one who had been prominently, pointedly, opposed to your party in the earnest and angry controversies of the last for ty years, and essentially noteworthy that many of you originally preferred that the Liberal Republi cans should present another candidate for Presi dent, and would more readily have united with ua in the support of Adams or Trumbull, Davis or Drown. It is well known that I owe my adoption ! at Baltimore wholly to the fact that I had already j been nominated at Cincinnati, and that a concen tration of forces upon any new ticket had been pfoved impracticable. Gratified as lam at your concurrence in the Cincinnati nominations; certain as I am that you would not have thus concurred had you not deemed me upright and capable, I find nothing in the circiimstanfcea calculated to imflame vanity or nourish self-conceit. But that your convention saw fit in adopting the Cincinnati ticket te reaffirm the Cincinnati platform is to m« a source of the proudest satisfaction. That body was constrained to take this important step by no party necessity, realtor supposed. It might hate accepted the candidates of the Liberal Republicans upon grounds entirely its own, or it might have presented them as the first Whig National Conven tion did Harrison and Tyler, without adopting any platform whatever. That it chose to plant itself deliberately, by a vote nearly unanimous, upon the fullest and clearest enunciation of the principles which are at once incontestibly Republican and emphatically Democratic, gives trustworthy assurance that anew and more aaspicious era is dawning upon our long distracted country. Some of the best years and best efforts of my life were devoted to a struggle against chattle slavery, a struggle none the less earnest or arduous because respect for constitutional obligations constrained me to act for the most part on the defensive at a distance. Throughout most of those years my vision was cheered, my exertions were rarely ani mated by even so much as a hope that I should live to see my country peopled by freemen alone. The affirmance by your convention of the Cincinnati l Tat form is a most conclusive proof that its spirit is extinct ; that despite the protests of a respect able but insolated few. there remains among us no party and no formidable interest which regrets the overthrow or desires the establishment of human bondage whether in letter or in spirit. T am there fore justified in my hope and trust, that the first century of American Independence will not close before the grand elemental truth on which its rightfulness was based by Jefferson and the con tinental Congress of 7fi will no longer be regarded as glittering generalities, but will have become the universally accepted and honored foundation of our political fabric. 1 demand the prompt appli cation of those principles to our existing condition. Having done what 1 could for the complete eman cipation of the blacks, 1 now insist on the full enfranchisement of all my white countrymen. Let no one say the bar has just been removed from all but a few hundred elderly gentlemen, to whom eligibility to olliee can be of little consequence. My view contemplates not the hundred proscribed, but the millions who arc denied tne right to be ruled j and represented by men of their uttered choice, j Proscription were absurd if these did not wish to elect the very men whom they are forbidden to choose. 1 have a profound regard for the people of that New England wherein I was born, in whose common schools I was taught. 1 rank no other people above thenl in intelligence, capacity and iiioral worth. But w hile they do many things well and so admirably, there is one thing which I am sure they can't do wisely or safely, and that is the selection for States remote from and unlike their own of the person by whom those States shall be represented in Congress. If they could do this to good purpose, then republican institutions were unfit and aristocracy the only true political sys tem. Yet what have we recently witnessed ? Z. B. Yance. the unquestioned choice of a large Majority of the present Legislature of North Ca rolina, a majority backed by a majority of the people who voted at his election, refused his seat in the Federal Senate to which he was fairly chosen and the Legislature thus constrained to choose another in his stead, another who in our late contest was like Vance, a rebel and a fighting rebel, but who had not served in Congress before the war as Vance hdd, thaugh the latter remained faithful to the Union until after the close of his term. I protest against the disfranchisement Os a State, presumptively of a number of States, on grounds so narrow and technical as this. The fact that the Same Senate which refused Vince his seat proceeded to remove the disabilities after that seat had been filled by another, only serves to place in the strongest light the indignity to North Carolina aud the arbitrary, capricius tyranny which dic tated it. I thank you gentlemen that my name is to be conspicuously associated with yours in a determined effort to render amnesty complete and universal in spirit as well as in letter. A defeat in such a cause would leave no sting, while a tri umph would rank it with those victories which no blood reddens, and wich enveke no tears but those of gratitude and joy. Gentlemen vonr platform, which is also mine, assures me that Democracy is not henceforth to stand for one thing aud Repub ' licanism for another, but that those terms are to mean in politics as they have always meant m the i dictionary, substan daily one aud the same thing’ ' namely; equal rights, regardless of creed, or clime. BAINBRIDGE GA-, AUGUST 3rd, 1872* or color. I hail this as a genuine new departure from outworn feuds and meaningless contentions in the direction of progress and reform. Whether I shall be found worthy to bear the standard of the great liberal movement which American people have inaugurated, is to be determined- 1 - now by deeds. With me, if I steadily advance—over me, if 1 falter—this grand army moves to achieve for her glorious, beneficent destiny. 1 remain, gentleman, yours, Horace Greelst. , Commercial Manures. Prof. W. Leßoy Broun, of the State Ag ricultural College, has prepared a bill to be presented to the Legislature to prevent fraud in the sale of commercial fertilizers. According to the synopsis which we find in the Columbus Sun, the bill provides for a State Chemist, who must analyze all manures, and, on application, furnish plant ers with it. Companies must pay fifty dol lars for hiC certificate. He can charge a purchaser ten dollars. Ha shall furnish to the State Agricultural Society, each mouth, a statement of all analysis made by him. No commercial manure oan be sold without his having analysed it, and without having printed on every barrel, bag, or paroel, which may contain fifty pounds, the name and place of the seller, and the pet centage it contains of soluble phosphoric acid, or insoluble phosphoric acid, of pot ash or of ammonia. Violators of the law are punished by heavy fines j in some cases the seller is required to return the money to the buyer. The fines go the State Ag ricultural Society, the Secretary of which, at his discretion, may publish the analysis made monthly. The certificate of State Chemist shall be regarded as evidence in court of the valUo of the fertilizer. The sample selected by the planter or purchase for analysis shall be a fair aver age sample. It shall be taken in the pre sence of two witnesses from the bag, barrel or parcel containing the commercial man ure, and shall be sealed in the presence of said witnesses; and signed by them across the seal, but the trade-mark, or name by which the commercial manure is know shall not bo furnished to the State Chemist until after the analysis is made. By the soluble phosphoric acid is meant Anhyd rous phosphoric acid in any form or com bination that has been rendered in the manufacture readily soluble in pure Avater of 70 degrees Farenhoit; and by insoluble phosphoric acids in any combination Avhich requires the action of acid upon it to cause the same to be readily soluble in xvater ; and by ammonia which shall correctly re present all the available nitrogen in the commercial manure. Act to take effect January Ist 1873. Tell and Mens. White Africans, Etc. The Herald of Monday, contains letters i from its African explorer, Stanley, giving ! his story ot the meeting with Dr. Living- j stone, and the latter’s accounts of his ex- ! plorations, say that the Chambizi is the j head waters of the Nile. The story Avhieli the Doctor tells of two countries through which the great river runs, reads like a fa ble. He tells of ivory being so cheap and plentiful as to be used for door-posts ; of the skillful manufacture of fine grass cloth, rivaling that of India ; of a people nearly white and extremely handsome, whom he supposes to be the descendants of the an cient Egyptians ; of copper mines at Ka tortg which have been Avorked for ages, and of docile and friendly people. Dr. Livingstone and Stanley explored the head of Lake Tanganyika, and return ed to Ujiji, where they spent 1871. Stanley says that he found Living stone in a very destitute condition, robbed and despoiled by his men. He looks to be about fifty, quite hale and hearty. In March, 1872, he began to organize ftn ex pedition to explore a few doubtful joints, which he thinks will take about 18 months, when he will return to England, The Philadelphia Press says the coun try owes Gen. Grant a debt that can never be paid. Grant is evidently of the same opinion, but he is doing his best to make his collections. Like the accommodating country traders who advertise to sell their goods, cheap for cash or produce, Grant is willing to take anything in the way of pay ment which comes to his hand, from a bull pup to a cottage by the sea. When his term of office expires, he will have one thought to console him. If the country j then owes him anything, it will not be be ! cause he has neglected any means in his power to enforce a settlement in full. —A. | Y. Sun. j There is a man somewhere whose niem | ory is so short that it only reaches to his knees, therefore he never pays for his boots; FOR THE RIGHT—JUSTICE TO ALL. What Henry Wilson thinks about For eigners. If there is a foreigner throughout the length and breadth of the State, who for j one single moment entertains a remote idea of supporting the Grant and Wilson ticket, we would advise him to read the fol lowing extract taken from a speech deliv ered Massachusetts, by Henry Wilson, candidate for Vice President : “In the heart of the foreigner beats not a single noble impulse, not one single throb of patriotism ! He is so brutal and degra ded that he has no sympathy for anything but cabbage and lager beer, potatoes and buttermilk, or some other outlandish dish, fit only for hogs of the street of pen. All the oaths in the world cannot bind them, Some tell me that many foreigners are intelligent ; yes, intelligent! How in the name of Almighty God can they say it ? Look at the Dutchman smoking his pipe, and if you see a ray of intelligence in that dirty, idiotic face of his, show it me. We must change the laws of the land find prevent these ignorant, degraded pau pers her# from and holding office. They are a set of unprincipled villians and ruffians who congregate in and around our cities and large villages and live by steal ing and begging from the Americans.— They have the right to live unde* our laws, and till the soil, and do as we bid ! They are inferior in intellect and intelligence to the American, and fnUSt be put down and kept down, if it has to be done at the point of the bayonet and with powder and lead. Again : You see a wide mouthed, lop eared, mullet-headed German, coming up just from some hut in the land of kraut, with the foam of beer still sticking in his horse tail whiskers, and his breath smell ing of garlic and onions, enough to kill a white man three hundred yards, and before ibe can speak a word of the English lan ! guage but ‘ Dimikrat ’ he must vote and that vote counts as much as yours or mine. This is outrageous and abominable). These foreigners, ay ho have carried the elections for.the -Old Liners will have to learn their placteft. They have no more right to vote than the brutes of the field, and God knows that I Avould tell these paupers, vagabonds, these vile, filthy, idiotic, degraded foreign ers I don’t want your votes and if ever I am a candidate I hope I will not get them. The following are extracts from the Know-Nothing speeches of Henry Wilson, nee Jeremiah Colbaith; in Massachusetts, in 1854 : “The time has come when the uniform of the State militia should no longer be disgraced by being seen on the back of a Catholic Irishman or an Infidel Dutchman.” “By the light of these burning shanties, the Teuton and Celt may read the doom ! that will overtake them, in the attempt to ; compete Avith the native born American for ; political supremacy on this continent.” | What do our Irish and German fellow i citizens think of these utterances of the ; Grant candidate for Vice President ? Every Sunday-school pupil has read of the funeral piles in India, on Avhich widows sacrifice themselves after their husbands die. The English newspapers give an ac count of a similar instance of sacrifice, on the part of a widow in England. A wealthy merchant who lived in Brighton, during one of his mercantile expeditions abroad had met Avitli a beautiful Malabar woman. He married her in the presence of the English Consul. He brought his wife home to England, where she lived happily. She re fused to listen to the teachings of Christi anity, however, but clung tenaciously to the beliefs which she had acquired in her native land; and had a little temple built on her husband’s estate in the country, where she daily offered up her devotions according to the rites of her own faith. At length the husband died. The widoAV threw herself upon his lifeless form in an agony of despair, tore her hair, and disfig ured her beautiful features with her nails. Oh the evening after the funeral she disap peared. After three days’ unsuccessful search for her, it occurred to somebody to look in the temple where she Was accus tomed to perform her devotidns, and there they found; in a pile Os ashes, yet smoking— the remains of the devoted woman; All alone, by herself, she had built the funeral pyre, and unseen by mortal eye she had im molated herself thereon in obedience to the severe requirements of the religion in Which she had been reared. —A r .

Sheep and Wool Growing. V e have jpst made a visit to Spring Bank, the residence of Rev. C. W. Howard, near where we were shown by that gentleman a field of corn, on upland of medium grade, which in point of yield will, we feel assured, compare most favor ably with any crops now growing on the best of our Chickamauga valley lands. This very gratifying result has been at tained by a process entirely practical, and remunerative rather than expensive. The ground Avas prepared in the ordinary way last season and sown in turnips, which were f*d to sheep —they being confined bv means of a portable fence to such a strip as the roots were eaten from in forty-eight hours. Mr. H. folded one hundred sheep upon an area of from thirty to forty feet Square, and then removed the fence to a fresh spot, until the entire crop had been consumed. To the fertilization thereby se ctored is Mr. ifoAvarct indebted for the corn in question, which may be safely reckoned as promising from nine to twelve barrels, of five bushels each, per acre. In the ab sence of such treatment, twenty bushels would have been a maximum average yield from the field. Another signal consequence of tile mode adopted, was the Very thorough cleansing by the sheep of all weeds and shrubs. We do believe that a personal examination of this test would lead every farmer who could procure sheep to do like wise, and wish the occasion would bo avail ed of by a committee from our county and a report thereof!— Catoosa Courier, On the 22d of June, twelve thousand poupds of Georgia wool were sold in Bos ton at sixty-two cents a pound. If a pound of wool cato be grown as easily as one of cotton in Georgia, (as Mr. Howard aud others believe) cotton culture should rest awhile, till sheep husbandry fertilizes the soil up to an average of one bale of cotton to the acre. Then there will be good sense in raising cotton so far as it can be done without injury to the plantation, and at a good price for the staple. Nothing is easier than to raise grass and wool in the South, if the people say it shall be done. W oiiid Your Loss Be Felt. Live for some purpose in the ■world. Always act your part well. Fill up the measure of duty to others. Conduct yourselves so that you may be missed with sorrow when you are gone. Mul titudes of our species are living in such a selfish manner that they are not likely to be remembered after their disappearance. They leave behind them scarcely any traces of their existence, and are forgotten almost as though they had never been. They are, whila they live, like some pebble lying unobserved among a million on the shore ; and when they die they are like that same pebble thrown into the sea, which just ruffles the surface, sinks, and is forgotten without being missed from the beach. They are neithef regretted by the rich, moiirned by the poor, nor celebrated by the learned. Who has been better for their life ? Who has been the worse for their death ? Whose tears have they dried ? Whose wants supplied ? Whose misery have they healed? Who would unbar the gate of life to readmit them to exist ence ? Or Avhat face would greet them back to our Avorld with a smile? Wretched, unproduc tive existence! Selfishness is its curse; it is a starving vice. The man who does no good gets none. He is like the heath in the desert, neither yielding fruit nor seeing when good cometh —a stunted, fish-draw, miserable shrub. Wait.

Remember the long weary nights she sat up with the little babe that died ; re member the love and care she bestowed upon you when ydu had that long fit of illness. Do you think she is made of cast iron? Wait—wait in silence and forbear ance and the light will come back to her eyes—the old light of the old days. Wait, wife, before you speak reproach frilly to your husband when he comes home late, weary, and “out of sort.,” —-He has worked hard for you all day—perhaps far into the night; he has wrestled hand in hand with Care, and selfishness, afad greed and all the demons that follow in the train of monney-making.—Let home be aflbther atmosphere entirely: Let him feel that there is One place in the world where he can find peace, and quiet and perfect love, —The Workman.

On the land were employed fifty bushels of cotton seed and one hundred pounds of Peruvian guano* costing, We would suppose, abot sl4 to the acre. The oats will bring $1.25 per bushel. This will realize a net gain of about $55 per acres The straAV will pay for the labor.- There was no perceptible difference in the whole field. The five acres were merely surveyed in a body to contend for the Fair 1 premium. He further said he tamed at his Bealwood place, the Character of the soil being known as old Avom-out fields and poor sandy land, on nearly sixty acres 64,919 pounds of perfectly clean fanned oats—all weighed and the Weight of bags deducted —which, at 39 pounds to the bush el, amount to 2’028 2-9 bushels, Ove* fifty bushels to the acrC: On this latid he employed one hundred pounds of Peruvian guano to the acre: A Grant organ thus gives Greely’s Dent ocratic calendar : January—The old idiot Greeley.
