Ihe following lines were writ
ten upon first hearing of the death of
General Lee, by R. J. Gaines, of
Villa Rica, Ga.
ROBERT E. LEE.
The noble, the generous and brave,
The gallant Old Chieftain is dead.
Oh long may the Cedars and Jessamines wave
O er the spot where the hero is laid.
No more his shrill voice’ll be heard,
As the broken, shattered columns retirfe,
When the deep muttered thunders are stirred,
Ab.d the Regiments are girdled in Are,
No! he has gone to that bright, stilly shore,
Where there slumbers are tranquil and sweet,
The clangor of arms will disturb him no more,
In thktfeacefnl and giorious retreat.
His virtues and dee"cls are fondly enshrined
Deep, deep in the hearts of the Nation,
Let wreathes of woodbine and cypres? be twined
At she pdtths forth her heartfelt libation.
While the bright pages of history Unfold
The sjdendorS that luster his name,
There'll be written in letters of gold,
His password to glory and fame.
The trntli was his watchword and guide,
Thro’ the storm and the battles fierce blast;
’Twas that God upon whom he relied.
That crowned him with victory at last.
While thousands are mourning to night,
O’ver the noble the brave and the free-,
Every true heart should thrill with delight,
As it honors the name of Robert E. Lee,
(Communicated.)
Scene in a Hotel,
Not long since, a company of gen
tlemen, on their way from East Ten
nessee, to examine the mineral re
sources of Carroll county, Ga., stop
ped at the “Kimball House/’ in older
to take the train, next morning, for
Newnan.
It was precisely three minutes after
12 o’clock,, when this Geological
I'roiipfy entered the reception room
of that elegant and magnificent struc
ture.
The servant was ordered to show
the company to room No. 64, but
from some cause or other, the afore
said waiter, became confu* ed, and lost
his way, and after trotting 'round
for about three quarters of an hour
hove in sight of the lights below ; and
in the full rapture, of the most extatio
joy, was heard to exclaim: “ I gollies,
1 knowed vve’s all right!” and then
turned round and addressed his sable
co-laborer, (who was engaged in a dif
ferent department,) in the following
laconic style : “ Ilalloo ! Sambo, I
can’t find No. 64 in dis house.” “Dar
you fool Grant nigger, I always know
ed you neber had any sense, here
you’ve been three long days and
nights, and hain’t learnt de circumvo
lution of dis house. You woolly

Drinking.
No man ever became a drunkard,
lived a drunkard’s life, died a drunk
ard’s deatli, and filled a drunkard’s
grave as a matter of free choice No
one ever became an excessive drinker
who did not begin by the habit of be
ing a moderate, a very moderate
drinker. If it were the habit of all not
to take the first step, and thus not be
come moderate drinkers, the unuttera
ble horrors, and woe, the destitution
and crime, which results from this
master evil of intemperance, would
cease. Wives and children and friends
and communities would not mourn
over loved ones thus dishonored and
lost. But it is the habit of drinking
becoming the law of their being and
of their daily life, the lack of resisting
power resulting from this terrible
thraldom, the fever of habitual tempta
tion and appetite, which causes tha*
yearly death march of sixty thousand
of our people to the saddest of all
graves, followed as mourners by half
a million of worse than widowed
wives and worse than orphaned chil
dren.
The Rome Courier of Tuesday says ;
“M e hear a painful rumor from Har
alson county to the effect that John
K Holcomb, a good citizen of that coun
ty, was called out of his house one
night last week by a disguised party
of men and shot. Mr. Holcomb was a
Democrat, and his murder is attri
butable to the Radical wretches, who’
have so long tyranized over that coun
ty. Ilis body was found next morning
about a mile from his house.’

CARROLLTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1872.
The Gospel,
I 1 ROM THE FRENCH OF j. ,f. ROI'SSEAU.
TRANSLATED FOR THE TIMES BY
MISS E. B. R., CARROLL MA
SONIC INSTITUTE.
The divinity of the Gospel is an ar
gument which speaks to my heart.
Behold the books of philosophers,
with all their pomp ; what are they
compared to it ! Is it possible that *a
book, so sublime, and at the same
time so simple, Could be the work of
men ? Is it possible that he of whom
it speaks could be a mere man ? Has
he the tone of an enthusiast or of an
ambitious secretary? What gentleness
what purity in Ins manners ! What
elevation in his maxims ! what
touching grace in his instructions !
what profound wisdom in Ills conver
sations ! what presence of mind,
what penetration, and what justice in
his Tespouses ! Where is the man
or where 1b the wisdom that knows
how to act and to suffer without
weakness, without ostentation ?
V hen Plato describes his imaginary
just man, covered with all the oppro
brium of crime, yet worthy of every
reward of virtue, he paints, trait for
trait, Jesus Christ. The resemblance
is so striking, that all the fathers felt
it—dt is Impossible to be mistaken in
it.
What prejudice, what blindness,
or what bad faith one must have to
daie to compare the son of Sophronis.
ca to the son of Mary ! What a dif
ference there is between them ! So
crates dying without pain, without ig
nominy, easily sustained, to the end
his character ? and if that easy death
had not honored his life, one would
doubt whether Socrates, with all his
mind, was any other than a Sophist.—
He invented, they say, morality \ but
others before him had practiced it :
he only spoke what they did ; lie on
ly put into lessons their examples.
Aristides had been jTtet before Socra
tes said what justice is; Leonidas had
died for his country before Socrates
taught it was a duty to love ones
country ; the Spartans had been sober
before Socrates praised sobriety ; be
fore lie had defined virtue, Greece
abounded in virtious men. Bid
whore had Jesus learned that pure
and elevated Morality which he alone
taught and practiced ?
The death of Socrates, tranquilly
conversing with his friends, is the
gentlest one can desire ; that of Jesus
Christ, expiring in torments, reviled,
railed at, cursed by all the people, is
the most horrible that one can fear.
Socrates, taking the poisoned cup,
blesses him who brings it and who
weeps ; Jesus, in the midst of a fright
ful punishment, prays for his infuiated
persecutors !
Yes, if the life and death of Socra
tes are those of a philosopher, the life
and death of Jesus Christ arc those of
a God !
Shall we say that the history of the
Gospel was invented ? My friends,
it is not thus that one invents ; and
the life and acts of Socrates, of which
no one doubts, are less attested than
those of Jesus Christ. To support
this is only to postpone the difficulty
without destroying it ; it would be
more inconceivable that four men had
conspired to fabricate this book, than
that a single man had furnished the
subject of it. No where in Jewish
authors do we find such a tone, such
Morality $ and the Gospel has charac
ter of truth so great, so striking, so
perfectly inimitable, that the inventor
would be more astonishing than the

Sallie s Bedtime.
A father, not very far from here,
read in the paper the other morning
that the “ Utica girls who wish their
beaux to go home the same night they
call, pull a string at the proper hour
which reverses ft picture, on the back
of which appear the words “ Ten
o’clock ig my bedtime.”
This father, who has a daughter
given to late hours when a certain
youth sits up and helps her keep them,
thought he would try this Utica plan,
so he wrote in large characters on
the hack of a huge portrait of George
Washington, this inscription :
“10 o’clock is sallil’s bedtime.’ 1
Then he arranged the picture so that
when he attached a string to the frame,
he could reverse it from his bed cham
ber; but when *Saliie entered the room
an hour later, her {esthetic eye was
outraged by observing the portrait
of George hanging slightly out of
plumb, so to speak, and in adjusting it
her fathers little game was revealed
in all its subtile ingenuity.
Sallie was not a Utica girl, howev
er, so she just went to work and neat
ly effaced the figure “0,” leaving the 1
standing solitary and upright—which
you will observe made a few hours
difference in her bedtime. That
night, as usual Sallie received a visit
from her voting—which his front
name it Was Henry—and her paternal
parent attached his string to G. W.S
portrait, and retired to his downy
couch.
About 16 o’clock, while Harry and
Sallie were deeply absorbed in some
knotty problem, with their heads so
contiguous that you couldn’t insert a
piece of tissue paper between them,
the father of his country suddenly
turned his face to the wall, as if he
was ashamed to gaze upon sich do
ings. Henry, with a sudden start
glanced at the picture, and saw the
handwriting on the wall, as it were,
which read: “1 o’clock is Sallies bed
time.” Then Henry looked at Sallie
with an interrogation in his eye,
which was soon dispelled by the fair
maid murmuring,“lt’s all right.” Hen
ry said of course it was all right—
that he knew 1 o’clock was her bedtime
and he thought it was plenty late
enough for a young girl to be out of
bed, but what business, he said, had
George Washington’s portrait to be
flopping about in that way? Then
Sallie explained—and the twain resum
ed work on the problem, Henry put
ting his arms around Sallie to pre
vent her falling off the chair.
Meanwhile the old man was listen
ing for the front door to open, and
his would-be-son-in-law’s foot steps
pattering over the pavement with the
V es ofhisboots pointing f om’the house.
The sounds not falling upon his ears,
and thinking maybe the old thing
did’nt work right, he gave the string
another, pull and George W. again fa
cedthe audience. Then he listened; but
he heard no footsteps—nothing but a
peculiar sound, something resembling
the popping of champagne corks.
Then he grew cross, and gave the
string another jerk, causing G. W.
to turn about with violent suddenness,
just as if he was dreadfully out of lm_
mor, too.
And still all is quiet below, except
the popping sound.
Then the string was pulled again—
and again—and again—indicating
that the old fellow was just ready to
explode with rage. And for fully
fifteen minutes did he have the por
trait of the man, who could not tell a
ie, turning excited flipflaps and things
on the wall, like a bewitched gymnast,
until he fell asleep exhausted—Sallie’s
father fell asleep, not the portrait.
Henry kissed Sallie goodnight at
1 a. m., remarking as he did so, that
it would seem like a long, long, wea
ry year ere he would see her again
until the evening of that day.
The next morning her father exam
ined that portrait, and when he fully
understood the situation he was pain
ed. He shed a silent tear, detached
the string, sponged out the inscrip
tion, and walked away with the
weight of fifty five years upon his
shoulders— that being his fige. He
says that a girl who will go back on
her father that way. would just as lief
not disgrace her parents by marrying
a Congressman.— B. Dodd in Xor
ristoten Herald.
Last year one Baron Wehrlein
circulated large quantities of counter
feit Austrian treasury notes in Vienna
and Hamburg. He fled to New York
Yoik, and took refuge iu the sociiety
of that place. But a sagacious and an
energetic Vienna detective, Chas.
Degen, managed to entice the rogue
back to Europe, and for his service
the Emperor of Austria has bestowed
an order upon him.

THF. DIFFERENCE SPIJENDIDLY PRESENTED
John Forsyth, editor of the Mobil/?
Register, has been invited to make a
speech. Too unwell to do so, he
writes a letter. In it he discusses
with a master hand the imperious ob
ligation resting on a Democrat to sup
port Greeley. lie is one of the truest
Democrats in the land, a natural born
idiosyncratic, constitutional “Straight.
lie with his usual vigor and felicity
plumbs the kerual of the matter.
He admirably presents the differ
ence between Greeley and Grant.
We call attention to his words, no
less that they come from a high Dem
ocratic authority than they tell the
truth and vindicate the right in an
unanswerable and conclusive man
If our Democratic friends would
but take Greeley at his word, and
trust the fealty to its creed of the
great Democratic party, no Democrat
it seems to us could hesitate to g.ve a
cordial support to the party pro
gramme.
We call especial attention to that
part of the extract we give below
from Forsyth’s letter, showing what
we have so long endeavored to impress
upon our readers, viz: that the action
of the Liberal Republicans in return
ing to constitutionalism after trial of
the opposite, is the most cheering
sign of the times in its unexpected
and gratifying vindication of Demo
cratie principle for which we have
been so long contending.
But the difference between Gree
ley and Grant as chiefs of contending
parties is that between good aud evil
political virtue and political crime—
the one striving to save, the oilier to
destroy. No sign or promise, or hope
is held out of reform it Grant is re
elected. Indeed, his re election would
be claimed as the popular indorsement
of the “sum of all (his) iniquities, and
if there is any profounder depth of
false, wicked government to bo sounded
he would feel that lie had the people's
license to fathom it. If the people
elect to keep Grant s party in power,
they will have elected to part with
free self government. I have said the
question is not where and what Hor
ace Greeley was, but where and what
he is now. And let me give you a
test of what he is now, as it gushed
like a suddenly unimprisoned fountain
from the hearts of the Southern peo
ple, for it was this people who first
took him upon their shoulders and
bore him to his present eminence as
leader and champion of the American
Constitution.
Why did the South rush to him as
their deliverer? Because frera that,
dark cloud that overhung our hope,
behind Cincinnati there leaped a viv
id flash ot lightning that foreshad
owed and pronounced its deliverance.
Behold the new revelation that broke
from a Republican Convention, in the
following—-fourth resolution of its
platform:
“Local self government with impar
ti&l suffrage, will guard the rights of
all citizens more securely than any
centralized power. The public welfare
requires the supremacy of the civil
over the military authority and free
dom of person under the protection of
habeas corpus. We demand for the
indivdiual the largest liberty consistent
with public order; for the State, self
government ; and for the Nation, re
turn to the methods of peace and the
constitutional limitations of power.”
What more than this, in the fulness
and emphasis of the enunciation of
the cardinal principles of the Southern
Democratic faith, had we ever asked
for, or could Thomas Jefferson him
self have formulated? And then came
Mr. Greeley ’s letter still further ill us
trating and emphasizing these long
contemned doctrines. And what did
all this teach? This and this only,
that the finest intellects and the most
upright men of the the Republican
part# found themselves drifting with
the Grant party over a precipice that
would engulf the freedom of the coun
try. Starting back in affright, they
| sought for some iron ring-bolt in the
granite of enduring principles to which
to moor the drifting constitution and
arrest its progress to ruin. Th ey
found it in the democratic doctrines
of a divided Federal and local sover
eignty, in the “largest liberty' for the
people'’ in “civil over military authori
ty,” in the sacred heritage of the pro
tecting a>gis of the “habeas corpus,”
in the “State, self-government,” in “the
return to constitutional limitations of
power.” Out from that Convention,
too, long with the glorious light from
an "unexpected quarter, came Horace
Greeley , himself transformed. Once
our Saul of Tarsus, he beamed forth
from that vast assemblage a Paul, the
apostle ot a fresh inspiration of Liber
ty. Is it any wonder that the South
was aroused from her long despair
to hail the new deliverence from so
unexpected a quarter ? Aud who shall
say that the Democratic party has
abandoned its principles when it takes
to its arms the allies who have paid it
the highest eomplment aud crowned it
with the most illustrious victory of its
life—the peaceful victory of homage
from its former antagonist to the im
mortal truths and virtues of its consti
tutional creed ?

The Press C onvention.
The following Resolutions were
passed by the Georgia Press associa
tions at a meeting held recently in At
lanta.
Whereas, The last Legislature inoet
signally failed to recognize the ser
vices of the press, and the l ights of its
members as citizens oj Georgia, by
according to them that consideration
justly due it; and,
Whereas, It refused to pass several
bills preferred at the instance of the
press Convention for the common ben
efit of its members ; therefore, be it
Resolved by the press of Georgia
in convention assembled, That we
earnestly deprecate the course ot the
late Legislature, and especially of the
Senate, in refusing to legislate in be
half of newspaper interests upon a.
just and equitable basis. Adopted
Resolved, that we strongly con
demn the action ot a Legislature, first
in the history of Georgia in imposing
a tax upon the press, utterly ignoring
its efforts in behalf of liberty, educa
tion, goodgovernm ut, civil’z tioa and
Christianity, and the general inter
ests of the people and State. Adopt
ed.
Resolved, That in defeating the
bill regulating the matter ot adver
tisements, the Legislature acted kca
priciously andjjunreasouably, as said
bill affected chiefly publishers and
their rights, and did not infringe upon
the rights or legal interests of others.
Adopted.
Resolved, That we express our
unfeigned astonishment at the course
of certain Senators in going beyond
legitimate argument in denunciation
of the Press and that we pledge our
selves to hold up to just censure any
public man so far behind the times
and age in which he lives, as to deny
the Press its proper and rightful
rank among the grand foremost agen
cies of progress and civilizlion.
Resolved, That we regard the
newspapers as an institution, separate
and apart from either proprietors or
conductors, with an existence all its
own, and as such wielding an influ
ence greater than any single person or
set of persons and second to none in
the land, and certainly not inferior to
that of many men in public station
notoriously elevated to their position
by the power of the press.
Resolved, That the committee
appointed at the last semi-annual meet
ing of the Association to superintend
the various press interests needing
legislation be and are hereby instret
ed, to push them before the in Legis
lature in January next, and publish
their report on tax as soon as possible
and that we members of the press of
Georgia in convention assembled, do
hereby determine to assert our rights
with one common voice, to’pledge our
undivided and professional influence
and energies in aid of the before-men
tioned committees, and in their ef
forts to secure those rights.
Resolved, That the press of the
State be requested to publish these res
olutions and the forthcoming report of
the tax committee.
