John Taylor was licenced when a youth of twenty-two, to practice at the liar. lie was poor, but well edu cated, and possessed extraordinary genius. lie married a beauty who afterward deserted him for another. On the oth April, 1840, the court house in Clarksville, Texas, was crowded to overflowing. An exciting case was about to be tried. George Hopkins, a wealthy planter had offer ed a gross insult to Mary Ellison, the young and beautiful wife of bis over seer. The husband threatened to chastise him for the outrage, when Hopkins went to Ellison’s house and shot him in his own door. The mur derer was bailed to answer the charge. This occurence produced great ex citement, and Hopkins, in order to turn the tide of popular indignation had circulated reports which would operate against her character, and she had sued him for slander. Roth suits were pending—for murder and slan der. The interest became deeper when it was known that Pike and Asltly, of Arkansas, and TANARUS, Prentiss of New Orleans, by enormous fees, had been retained to defend Hopkins. Hopkins was acquitted. The Tex as lawyers were overwhelmed by their opponents. It was a fight of dwarf against giant. The slander case was for the 9th, and the throng of spectators grew in number as well as excitement; pub lie opinion was setting for Hopkins— his money had procured witnesscss who served his powerful advocates. When the slander cause was called, Mary Ellison was left without an at torney —all had withdrawn. ‘Have you no counsel?’ inquired Judge Mills, looking kindly at the prisoner. ‘No, sir, they have all deserted me, and I am to poor to cm ploy any more,’ replied the beautiful Alary, bursting into tears. Mu such ease, will not some chival rous number of the profession volun teer V said the Judge, glancing around the bar. The thirty lawyers were silent. ‘I will vour honor,’ said a voice from tlie thickest part of the crowd, behind the bar. At the sound, of voice, many sWted —it was unhealthy, sweet and mournful. The first sensation was cllangcd hdo laughter, when a tall, gaunt, apectral figure elbowed his way through the crowd, and placed himself within the bar. His clothes looked so shabby that the court hesitated to let the case proceed through his management. ‘lias your name been entered on the rolls of the State V demanded the Judge. ‘lt is immaterial, ’ answered she stranger, his thin, bloodless lips curl ing up with a sneer. ‘ Here is my li cense from the highest tribunal in America!’ as lie handed the Judge a bro#d parchment. The trial went on. He suffered the witnesses to tel* their own story, and lie allowed the defense to lead oil. Ashly spoke first, followed by Tika and Frentiss, The latter brought down the house in cheers, in which the jury joined. It was now the stranger’s turn, he rises—-before the bar, not behind it— and so near the wondering jury that he might touch the foreman with his long, bony finger. lie proceeded to tear to pieces the argument of Aslily, ■ which melted away at his touch like frost before a sunbeam—every one looked surprised. Anon he came to the dazzling wit of the poet lawyer, Pike. Then the curl of his lip grew sharper, his smooth face began to kin dle, and his eyes to open, dim and dreary no longer, but vivid as light ning, red as fire-globes, and glaring as twin meteors. The whole soul was in the eye; the full heart streamed out of bis free. Then without bestowing an allusion to Prentiss, lie turned sboit round upon the perjured witnesses of Hopkins, tore their testimony into shreds, and hurled into theirfaces such terrible invectives that all trembled like aspens, and two of them lied from the court house The excitement of the crowd was becoming tremendous. Their united souls seemed to hang up on the burning tongue of the stranger —he inspired them witli the power of Ids malignant passns —he seemed to have stolen nature’s long hidden secret of attraction. But the greatest tri umpli was to come. His eye begun to glance at the as sassin Hopkins, as his lean taper fin gers assumed the same direction. He hemmed the wretch witli a wall of strong evidence and impregnable ar gument, cutting off all hope of escape. He dug beneath the murderer’s feet ditches of dilemma, and held the slan derer up to the scorn an contempt of CARROLLTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 12, 1872. the populace. Having thus girt him about with a circle of fire, he strip! himself to the work of massacre. Oh! then ft was a vision both glori ous and dreadful to behold the orator. Ilis voice became as impetuous as the motion of an oak in a hurricane. His voice became a trumpet filled with wild whirlpools, deafening the ear with crashes of power, and yet inter mingled all the while with a sweet un dersong of the softest cadence. Ilis forehead glowed like a heated furnace, his countenance was haggard like that of a maniac-, aud’ever and anon he ftun«- his long bony arms on high as if grasp ing after thunderbolts. lie drew a picture of murder in such colors that in comparison hell it self might be considered beautiful. He painted the slanderer so black that the sun seemed dark at noonday, when shining on such an accursed monster, and then fixing both por traits on the sinking Hopkins, fasten ed them there forever. The agitation of the audience nearly amounted to madness. All at once the speaker descended from the perilous height. His voice wailed out for the murdered dead and living— the beautiful Mary more beautiful every moment, as her tears flowed faster—till men wept and sob bed like children. He closed with strong exhortation to the jury, and through them to the bystanders; lie advised the panel, af ter they should bring in a verdict for the plaintiff, not to offer violence to the defendant, however richly he might deserve; in other words ‘not to lynch the villian, but leave his punish meat with God.’ This was the most artful trick of all, and the be&t calcula ted to insure vengeance. The jury returned a verdict of fifty thousand dollars; and the night after wards llopkins was taken out of bed and beaten almost to death. As the court adjourned the stranger said: ‘John Taylor will preach here this evening at early candle light.’ He did preach and the house was crowded. I have listened to Clay, Webster and C&lhemw-to Dwight, Bascom ai\d Vbechcr, but never heard anything in the form of sublime words even remotely approximating to the eloquence of John Taylor, massive as a mountain, and wildly rushing as a cataract of fire. A Model Farm. A letter writer lias the following concerning Col Lee Jordan’s planta tions in Southwest Georgia, which are superintended by Alia Lockett, him self a wealthy man : Mr. Lockett employs three hundred and fifty men, including mechanics and other attaches; works two him dred and forty-eight Horses and mules, and. cultivates thirt-five acres in cot ton and corn. Besides these princi pal crops he raises potatoes and vege tables for the entire force. This im mense plantation is divided into set tlements, on each of which are employ ed from twenty to sixty colored labor ers under the immediate superintend ence of a white man. These laborers are all hired at standing wages, and paid off at the end of every three months. Mr. Lockett has established a free school, and sent to Oberlin, Ohio, and secured the services of two com petent colored teachers. The colored .i-- people have also a church, which was erected free of cost by the philanthrop ic gentlemen. With these surround ings we infer they must be happy, for Mr. Lockett has the same force he had at the close of the war, not a single one having left his employment. His average crop is three thousand bales, but owing to the heavy rains of last fall his crop was cut short one-lialf. We expect to visit his place at some future time and make a detailed re port, and, if possible, procure cuts of his residence and other buildings on his plantations. Hot Bread.— One of the most in jurious dietetic habits of Americans is that of eating fresh, hot bread, cake, and biscuit. The Prussian Govern ment compels bakers to keep their bread at least one day before selling. If Americans would follow their ex ample, there would be fewer dyspep tics than at present. There is not one dyspeptic German where there are a dozen dyspeptic Americans. This, however, is but one of many causes for this marked differ ence. The only fresh, hot bread that is wholly unobjectionable, is the un leavened bread, crackers, or gems. • It requires one ton of steel to make on an average, one million of steel pens. If you have the ear-ache put a fun nel in your car, after the manner of an ear trumpet, and let the steam from boiling vinegar enter it. •r< O Stick to One Thing. “ Unstable as water thou shall not excel," is the language of the Bible. W 1 loever experts to succeed in any undertaking, must enter into it with a hearty and earnest will to do his best. When a trade or profession is chosen, obstacles, be they large or small, must not be allowed to stand iu the way of mastering that trade or profession. However much we may depreciate the old time custom of indenturing ap prentices, the system in its practical results operated almost always for the lasting good of the apprentice. Gen erally it insured to lum a good trade and a wholesome discipline that fitted him for success in business. At the present time, very many young men undertake to acquire a trade, and after a brief trial abandon it, because there are unpleasant duties to he performed, and obstacles to be overcome. They consider themselves accountable to no one, and go and come at the bidding of caprice, or an unsettled, uneasy mind. The result of this is to send out into the world young men who have not half learned their trades, of unstable character, who * drift from pillar to post, and who suc ceed in nothing but strolling along the highways of life, melancholy wrecks of men. Wo would earnestly entreat every young man, after lie has chosen his vocation, to stick to it; don’t leave it because hard blows are to he struck or disagreeable work performed. The men who have worked their way up to weath and usefulness do not belong to the shiftless and unstable class, but may he reckoned among those who took off their coats, rolled up their sleeves, conquered their prejudices against labor, and manfully bore the heat and burden of the day. Whether upon the old, worn-out farm where our fathers toiled, diligent ly striving to bring back the soil to productiveness; in the machine shop or factory, or in the thousand other business places that invite honest toil and skill, let the motto ever be: Per severance and industry. The baby training of the nursery was good in its place, but it wont answer all the de mands of an active life. This is not- a baby world. Wo must expect to he jostled and knocked about in the stern conflict, and get run over, if we are not on the lookout and prepared to meet the duties of life with a purpose not to shirk them, but to fulfill them. A young man with a good trade or honorable profession, as he goes forth into the world with his mind made up to stick to itis trade or profession, is not obliged to ask for many favors. He will hugh his way to success, while the unstable and shiftless will grow tired, despair and fail. —* Catholic Standard. Cotton. The receipts at the ports last week 40,000 bales—36.ooo bales less than last year. And 5 ; 000 bales less than two years since. The receipts at the interior towns \vere 7,000 bales—6,ooo less than last year, and same figures as two years ago. It is likely the receipts will be 35, 000 bales this week, compared with 68,000 last year, and 42,000 the year before. And receipts at interior towns indicate 5>,G00 bales this week, compared with 12,000 bales last year, and 8,000 the year before. The present course of receipts, is about one half of last year, when the receipts at the ports were 666,000 bales softer this time until September Ist. For the information of some of our readers we will state that what are called the interior towns are seven in number and are the principal interior cotton depots in Georgia, Alabama Tennessee —Augusta, Columbus, Ma con, Montgomery, Selma, Memphis and Nashville. The receipts at Mem phis are usually about one half of the whole. The very brisk market in New York and Liverpool this week is on account of the heavy cold rains in the South last week, and not, as some per sons suppose, on account of decreased receipts. As the price in New York is now over one cent per pound above a parity with Liverpool, it is likely New York will fall half a cent, or Liv erpool rise onefourth of a penny soon. W e had two warm spring rains this week, and fanners will have to work early and late this mouth. The cotton planting season begins in ten days, and most of the crop will be planted this month. Warm rains and plena ty oi fertilizers will make cotton grow rapidly if kept clean of weeds. The long continued cold and wet last month has ma le farmers gloomy; but warn;, light rains this month, and a dry May will restore confidence t j ev ery one. The God of Nature has al ways blessed the industrious man and wiiljiot foacake him now. Road Laws Epitomised. Nothing so ay ell indicates the thrift 1 prosperity, and public spirit of a com munity, as to see their market roads well worked and in good order. It saves time, the wear and tear of teams and wagons, and isconsequently*ready money in hand. The Ordinary, there fore, of Carroll county, has had pre pared and published, upon the recom mendation of the road commissioners, an epitome of the road laws, to which the attention of the Commissioners, Overseers, die., is especially invited. These laws, this year, must be rigidly enforced. CLASS AND REQUISITES OF ROADS. The public roads, in this county, are designated as second class roads. Such roads shall bs cleared of all stumps, grubs, trees, and bushes, at least twenty feet wide, and of all limbs that may inconvenience horsemen and carriages; stumps cut as nearly even with the surface as possible, and the track five feet six inches wide.

Overseers shall superintend the work of their roads, leave them work ed in the best possible maimer, and make return in five days after work ing, to the commissioners, of all de faults and deficiencies. 'When any road, bridge, or cause way, becomes impassable, the overseer shall call out enough hands to repair it, by giving one days notice. Hands summoned, and neglecting to obey such summons, and to carry the implements as ordered, and neg lect and refuse faithfully to work, shall be fined by the commissioners not less than one, nor more than three dollars, or be imprisoned at the dis cretion of the commissioners. If extraordinary implements are re quired t> work the road, the overseer may receive them in exchange for the labor of hands or the Ordinary may authorize him to contract for them. The com mission ers, upon applica tion of any person, may proportion the road, and parcel off to such applicant an equal portion of the road, for him and his hands to work. If, after having accepted such por tions, they neglect to keep them in re pair, they are liable to the penalties that commissioners are, besides road fines on the hands. All defaulters must file their excus es, if any, on oath, before the commis sioners, who must meet at some place in the district, to hear complaints, up on giving ten days notice in writing, ! at one cr more public places in the dis trict. Such commissioners must issue ex editions, or wairants ot arrests, under their Lands and seals, against default ers, directed and collected as Justices’ courts executions, or arrest and bring defaulters before the commissioners. Money collected on such fi fas to he paid to the commissioners, one half to be paid to the overseer. Overseers may make use of any tim bers for the read, and contract with owners of land for other timbers, and if they can not agree as to the value, may refer it to arbitrators, Overseers shall measure the road over which they arc appointed, from the Court House, and set up a post or mark, at the end of each mile, in a conspicuous place. Overseers shall, at the fork of each public road, place a board, or ether mark designating the place to which each road directs. If any overseer fails to measure, post and put up finger boards at the j forks of the road, he shall pay a fine of fifty dollars, to be imposed by the I commissioners, and collected as other ! fines. If any overseer omits to do his duty. a c required by the road laws, for tliir ty when the necessity arises, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and punished at tlie discretion of the Court.

APPOINTMENT AND DUTY OF COMMIS SIONERS. The Ordinary, shall biennially, ap point three commissioners for eacli road district, any two ot whom may act, if only one in a district, he may discharge all the powers of the three, until the vacancies are filled. Those thus appointed are compelled to serve, unless excused by the Ordi nary, for providential cause only. Such commissioners, while in otfice, are exempt from all jury, patrol, mili tia and other road duty. IT IS TIIEIR DUTY. 1. "Within fifteen days, to appoint one or more persons in their respective districts as overseers of the road. 2. To apportion the roads and bauds, at the same time, as equally and iairly as possible, and to furnish the over seers with a list of tha roads and hands under their charge. 3.

The will of A Drunkard. I die a wretched sinner and I leave the world a worthless reputation, a wicked example; a memory that is on ly fit to perish. I leave my parents sorrow and bit terness of soul all their lives. I leave to my brothers and sisters shame and grief, and a reproach of their acquaintances. • I leave to my wife a widowed and broken heart, ain't a life of lonely struggling with want and suffering. I leave to my children a tainted name, a ruined position, a pitiful igno rance and mortifying recollection ot a father, who, by his life, disgraced hu inanity, and at his premature*death joined the great company of those who are never to enter the Kingdom of God. Idle Daughters. —lt is a most painful spectacle in families where the mother is the drudge, to see the daughters elegantly dressed, reclining at their ease, with their drawing, their music, their fancy work and their reading; beguiling themselves for hours, days and weeks, and never dreaming of their responsibilities, but a( a necessary consequence of neglect of duty, growing weary of their use less life, laying hold of every newly invented stimulant to amuse *■ their drooping energies, and blaming fate when they dare not blame their God for having placed them where they arc. These individuals will often tell you, with an air of compassion—for who can believe it real?—that poor, dear mamma is working herself to death. Yet no sooner do you pro pose that they should assist her, than they declare she is quite in her de ment—in short, that die would never be happy if she only had halt as much to do.
