The Dying Year.
. B 7 n. G. GAINES.
Come gentle muse and help me chant,
The tequiein of the dying year;
And throw tlie pall of grief,
oer bleak December's icy nier.
Assist to sing the mourful dirge,
O’er those heaps of lifpless clay,
Where souls once Writhed in sin,
While others sweetly passed away.
Tune thy voice to saddest lav,
To breathe those notes of human woe;
Where withered joys and hiighted hopes,
And bitter streams of sorrow flow.
Time, oh time! c-uel, remorseless time,
How much of joy, and grief and pain,
Lie buried in thy trackless path,
Thy footsteps ne’er can trace again.
Thy cold and icy hands hr> '\-v marred,
The splendors of the gilded hall;
Left the same dark shadows there,
That mar the rude unpolishd wall.
Go kneel beside the humble grave.
That proud and haughty looks despise.
No sculptured marble marks the spot,
Where the mouldering pilgrim lies.
Chase, oh cease, those plaintive strains,
Let their slumbering records tell
Rer>"at the woes of one bright year,
Would be one long, long funeral knell.
Massachusetts and the Xnscrip-
Joxi-s on the War Flags.
A Mr. T loyt, a member of the Mas
sachusetts Legislature, having intro
duced a resolution in that body con
demning Mr. Sumner’s proposition
to era**? the names of battle from the
•Army Register and regimental lings,
: made a speech in support of bis reso
j lution, in which he denounced Sum
i net ’s bid as a most atrocious propo>
i sition,” the effect of which was “to
j rbdn.ee Ihe Union to the level of the
Confederate soldier. ’ Now we think
Mr. Hoyt’s uneasiness on this subject
•entirely unnecessary. If he has any
apprehension of the heroes of Massa
chusetts finding themselves, by any
process, placed on the same level \\ ’lh
the sojdiers of the Confederacy, we
can assure him that his fears -are con
fined to his own bosom.
If the • soldiers of the Massachu
setts regiments failed during the un
happy conflict to prove themselves
the equals of the troops of the Con
federacy (and we do not assert that
they did), the simpl - erasure of the
names of the battles in which they
I participated from the regimental flags
will not now change their status. If
Mr. Hoyt has the vanity to claim for
the soldiers of ids State superiority
over those of the Confederacy, he
will luive to bring other vouchers than
the battle flags of the war to establish
it.
Ir, as Mr. Hoyt says in another part
■of his speech, “ the rebellion was a
crime,” and the inen who fought for
the Confederacy deserve “ to have the
blazonry <f their infamy perpetuated
to the letest generation,” what should
be the punishment of the fiendish fa
natics who caused the war? A great
writer on the law oft nations has said,
in effect, that the moral responsibility
rests not with those who begin, but
those who cause the war, not with
i
those who strike the first blow; hut
those who make the first blow neces
sary. If then the rebellion was a
crime, those who caused it were the
real criminals, and the men of Massa
chusetts who for more than a quarter
of a century labored to bring it about,
are the last in the Union who should
desire to “ perpetuate the blazocy of
its infamv.”
Hut Mr. Hoyt who speaks for Mas
sachusetts, may imagine that his poo
pie have an especial voice in tins mat
ter. Having done more than any
other Northern State, in press, the
pulpit ana the Sunday School, to
bring on the war, and less in tne field
to bring it to a close, lie probably
thinks it is proper that they should be
the especial guardians of all its hon
ors. We think Mr. Hoyt claims too
much. No one will object to the in
scriptions being retained on all the
battle Hags, if the soldiers of the vic
torious North desire this to keepalive
the memories ot the unhappy conflict;
but as Massachusetts gave to the
Union cause but one distinguished
hero, she should be content with bin
zoning the name of Beast Butler on
her shield, and with the inscriptions
of Big Bethel, Fort Fisher and Dutch
Gap Canal, on the flags rendered im
mortal by those brilliant achievements
of her illustrious warrior. —Savannah

Savannah Advertiser.
CARROLLTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 10, 1873.
From thciSavmnah Advertiser.
*T enkins—Snobs.
The misfortunes following the un
succesful resort of the South to arms
seem to be countless and sempiternal.
Vv.hen the shock of war was over,
and Inis section wa3 left defenceless,
into every department ot Southern
life, political, religious, social and
commercial, was injected much of the
fungus growth that sprang up and
fastened itself upon Northern Society
during a period of social convulsion
and corruption. The Treasury agent
has come and gone with well lined
pockets. The'political missionary,
after scooping up the hoarded coins of
the credulous darkeys, has hied him
back to his home. The “ Bureau
Agent” no longer foments strife and
discord, and offers a premium for
theft and idleness. The carpet-bagger
still remains encouraged and supports
ed by his twin brother, the scalawag.
The bayonet gleams about capitals
and court houses, and the railroad de
veloper still lingers around the lobbies
of State Legislatures.
It was impossible that these 'visitas
tionssbould have come upon any people
without leaving an impress. But the
Southern people possessed so muck, of
conversatism of sentiment, such a
wealth of individuality, that the cor
rupting instrumentalities mentioned
cd have left but surface scars on the ;
body politic.
But the miserable affectations, the i
frivolous fashions of Northern shoddy- !
dotn are gnawing into the vitals of i
our young men, .and women too. The j
first are loosing dignity of manner and !
expression. It is to be ft ared that
the latter are beginning to forget the
modesty which so became their moth
ers. Our boys are becoming masters
of slang ; our girls are learning to
become loud and gushing. The bar-,
rieis which surround the home circle
and fireside are being broken down,
and the inner relations of domestic
life are being too often exposed to the
prurient cuiiossity and impudent
stare of an eager public. There is
danger that our daughters may be
come fashionable ninnies and nobodies
—our sons snobs. There is no ad
jective that can add force or expres
sion to that word.
It is a matter of shame and morti
fication that the press is to a large de
gree. responsible for the demoralization
which has come and threatens to grow.
There was a time when the di.-tinc
live guerdon of a Southern gentleman
was his tender, vigilant, chivalric do
votion to woman, and when Southern
women wore no gem in their crown
of personal jewels brighter tint* tl'iaf
of a sensitive retiring modesty.
There was a time “Jenk
ins ” —the half lacquey, half snob, who
forms pa‘rt of almost every Northern
newspaper staff-—had no brother on
the Southern press.
Now it is a fight between the
Northern and the Southern Jenkins
to see who can dive deeper into the
recess of private life, and drag most
i of its surroundings up to the garish
| light of day. Attention has been dri
| reeled to this subject bv the insane
desires and successful attempts’to par
I ado to the public all the paraphernalia
|of wedding occasions. It there is a
j time more than another when a wo
; man instinctively -shrinks from the
gaze of all but that of her betrothed,
and dearest friends, it is when she is
about to approach the most important
j era in her life. What business has
I any impertinent newsmonger to pry
into her secrets and publish her be
j trothment ? What right lias the
press with all of its arrogant demands
; upon public power and patience, to
| parade her trousseau to the inspec
tion of the vulgar crowd ?
It is not quite within the province
of legitimate newspaper enterprise to
pry into the private concerns of peo j
pie and to make then* the subject of j
the stunning paragraphs.
There may be some who are not j
indifferent to these attentions. If so,
. i
let them pay for them, and have their
social triumphs head lined anti
tinted, after the fashion of the beards
ed woman, the fat boy and other ab
normal curiosities. How much ot
dignity and manliness it gives to a
youth whose critical eye and tongue
pass judgment upon the silks, the sat>
ins, the laces and ties, and the innu
merable fripperies which go to make
up a ladies toilet ?
What .an incentive to intellectual
culture is the work of describing the
lads in black dress coats and white
neckties and patent boots, the lassies
iu muslins, tarletans and flowers; the
parson pate* familias, the coachman,
the butler, the leader of the orchestra,
: the cakes, the fruits,- wines, dancing
and decorations which go to make up
a fashionable wedding 1 And it there
are some who are flattered by these
descriptive attentions from the irnlus
| trious Jenkinses, there are more who
j are deeply mortified and pained that
' they and those whom they hold dear
\ are made to-furnish a public spectacle
The object of these observations is
jto draw attention to this innovation,
| this growing evil, and to enter a
I protest against its further continuance,
j Lot us maintain our dignity and char,
i actei* as a well bred people.
We may bear the reproach that our
society is cold mid exclusive. We
J may suffer under tho taunt that our
girls are a trifle haughty and slow to
j make acquaintance. We can stand
to have it said that our young men
may be too free with their cups and
too quick to quarrel. But for the
j sake of the men and women we have
: raised to distinction and buried in
i honored graves, let it never be said of
j us that we are going to raise a race |
I of snobs.
One Thing at a Time,
-If you would be successful in any
occupation never commence any piece
j of work to leave it and begin some
thing else, but stick to one thing till
it is done. This plan will prove de-*
cidedly advantageous We often hear
men, farmers especially, complain of
having so much work to do that they
don’t know where to begin. There
is where they are delinquent. Every
farmer should the first thing in the
morning, make a programme in his
mind of the work to be done during
the day. Then work with energy
and determination until that plan is
comph ted.
T hus you see, he will know just
what to do first, and when night
comes he can say, with the poet,
“Something attempted, something
done.” But the men who are always
commencing and seldom finishing,
though they are exact in everything
else, will never be very prosperous.
Boys are apt to mix work and play
together a little more than is consul
eved beneficial by their parents or
teacher. “ One thing at a time,”
boys. If you have a lesson to learn,
go to work, study diligently till you
have mastered it : after which, if you
any time -to play you will enjoy
it wonderfully.
‘- Work when yon works
Play when you play,
This i the way,

“Stop My Paper”
4
Every p id-usher of a newspaper
has heard this tremepdous order from
offended subscribers, imagined by the
offended to be asd.mgerou: as a stroke
of lightning, but is in reality no moie
harmless than a musquito bite. A
good story is told by the Philadelphia
Post of Mr. Swain the former propri
etor of the Philadelphia Ledger. By
Ills course on some public question,
on which,difforentpersbns had different,
opinions, Mr. Swain Lad offended a
number of readers, ot.e of whom met
him'on and tnus
accosted him: “Mr. Swain I’ve stop
ped the Ledger..” “What is that sir.”
I've stopped the Ledger” was the
stern reply. ‘Ts it possibe?” said Mr.
Swain. “My dear sir, what do you
mean? Come with me to my office.”
And taking the man with him, he en
tered the office at Third and Chest
nut, streets. There they found the
clerks busy at their desks; then they
ascended to the editorial rooms and
composing rooms, where everything
was going on as usual; finally they ande #
■scended to the press rooms where the
engines were at worlr. “I thought
you toM me you hadstopped the Ledg
er,” said Mr. Swain. “So I have said'
the offended subscriber. “I dont see
| the stoppage. The Ledger seems to
|be going on.” “Oh ! I mean to say ‘I
had stopped taking it.” “Is that all?'
exclaimed Mr. Swain; “my dear sir,
i you dont know how you alarmed me.’

You should aim about three foot

I hav shot at them all day and got
nothing but a tail: feather now and

There are sum kind ov dux that ar
very hard tew kill, even if you do bis
them. I shot .one whole afternoon*

Bi 1 Arp on a Bus:-le f
Sec here 3,lark Antony—if I was
you l wouldent take on so about the
| fashions. They don’t bother me. Its
none of your business what the wo
men put on or put off so they behave
i themselves and look just, as party as
I they can. They arc a heap b'ettei
| than you or me anyhow, whether they
; behave or not. I wouldn't give one
woman for several men no time, would
you? Now see him smile and pat
that off foot. If women want to wear
bussels, let em wear em. I thought
that panears was the best because they
stuck out side ways and wasent in the
way of leanin back when they set
down, but they know which is the
best side to stick out on, and its no-'
body's business but theirs. They may
wear anything they want to, bussels
and hoops and hangovers and ccn
vexes and collapses and whimadiddlcs
and stickouts and topknots come
down, and anything else so there is a
woman hid away somewher inside of
it all. Its all sham —that rubber bus
sol —there ain’t no substance nor back
bone in it. I've seenem fiat and seen
em blowed up. There ainfc a bit of
harm in em, but I never saw or.a on a
woman, that I don’t want to hit it just
hard enuf to make it pop. 1 golly
wouldent she jump high and holler ?
But I’m not a goin to do it, no sir,
I’ve got too much respect for woman.
Their bussels don’t hurt nobody, and
I do despise to see • a man always
pickin at a woman’s close. If they
dident wear somethin to disguise
era the men would quit business when
they co.me about. Purty women al
ways did wear something to sheer
the men away. It’s been so forever,
Dm in the war 1 seed one who jest
dressed as Lateral as life without any
paddin or etufiin and when she cum
along the boys jest laid down and
rolled over and hollered. They warnfc
fit for business for a week. But I
confident bear to see cm go with their
faces all tied up like they do in Tur
key. That would mighty nigh kill
me. It I can look into their blessed
countenances I can put up with their
fore rig-gin and bind riggin and top
and all. A good, sweet, purty face
speaks for all the balance of the oraft.
I wgnldent marry narry girl on the
earth till I see her face, and not then
if she dklent stilt me. If the eyes,
nose and mouth are all right, natur is |
an indorser for the balance. Paint j
aint nothin—shape is everything, j
They cant paint a shape, nor a glance
of the eye. You may paint a house
ever so white but that don’t signify
what’s inside of it. But when you
see bright roses and poses and bios
so:ns in the front yard and a vine
over the door, and clean, clear win
der.gl as a shining, you may bet your
hat on the balance. You ueedent
worry about the bussel nbr the back.
Women have been doing that way |
ever since old Solomon wrote about j
'em. If they do learn a little as they ;
go, it’s all right. They can straighten I
up when its necessary. No spinal ;
disease about that. Thenib the very j
sort what can lift two bushels of meal ;
without crackin a bone. Its only a 1
passing fashuu—and will last till
something else come along. Nature
made cm that way, and you can’t
change it. The more you try, the
more you can’t. The more you abuse
their bussels, the more they ! stick em j
at you—so let em alone, I eav. They
are all the same about fashuns, and
the last one would put em on if they
had their own way and plenty of
money. I wish I was jest rich ennf
to give every lady in the land a string
of dimands and a hat full of pearls.
Giood gracious ! how quick that Meth
odist dissiplin would be busted on
the jewelry bisness. Well, Ido like
to see em look party, and so far as I
am concerned, if ribbons and flowers
and flounces and furs will help to do
it, its all right. Some of the birds
are dressed up mighty fine, and I
reckon their pride aint much of a sin
after all. But understand me, Mark,
I dont hanker after %usse!g, tho they
do say it makes the nicest little shelf
for the arm to rest on in the world-,
when a feller is dancin abound with
hi3 gai. That’s all right, provided the
feller aint a dancin with ray gal. Ip
he is, why he may take her and keep
her, that s all. Bax Aar.

Who Shall bo Senator,
Editor Morning JSTeics : —Several
writers to advance, their favorites for
the Senate, have concentrated their
fire ou General Gordon, whose fitness
for the position all had recognized.—
They concede that he was a distingu
ished soldier. Yes, the man who,
whilst yet a Colonel, in an official re
port of his accomplished commander,
General 1). 11. Hill, in an army of
I heroes, won the proud epithet of the
| Bayard of the Army of Northern
Virginia.” Tire man who was called
by a gifted historian, “ The Thunder
bolt of the army in the latter days of
the Confederacyby another beauti
ful writer, the ‘Kingof Battles,’ who j
came so near achieving impossibilities
by .the magic of his genius." The
man who with universal acclaim, of j
the army and the country, was hailed
Young Stonewall, and through count
less battles boro the mantle of that i
immortal man, unscathed by any shaft
of criticism ; torn only by the balls ;
of the enemy. Such a man they do
admit is a great soldier. But lib
friends go further, and confidently i
challenge a comparison, between him ,
and any competitor for Senatorial
honors, in every element of intellec
tual and moral fitnes3. One of there,
his oratory, was indeed one of the in- j
spiratious of his military career. A
soldier of Gordon’s once said that he
didn’t want to hear Gordon speak any
more on the evex»f battle, for he made
, t
him feel like he could storm hell, and
he didn't think it safe to attempt that."
Eloquence ! Oratory ! Why the
very day of the surrender in the
morning, in one of his burets of mar
tial impetuosity, he drove the enemy
before him, capturing several guns,
and in tire evening, in an address to
the army, he painted the dirty of re
signation and the grandeur of fortitude
in language so vivid, that the rising
of indignation at the surrender, dis
solved in showers and the soldiers
stood bathed in tears. Gordon is ora
tor as well as soldier born.
But his opponents call for a “ con
stitutional lawyer,” and Gordon meets
the demand. During and before the
canvass with Bullock, Gordon’s coins
munieations were greeted with ap
plause. They were not only spoken j
of always as able, but, in some in
stances, as characterized by striking
and profound originality. The objec
tion, then, merely means he is not a
practicing lawyer. Who, before and
during the revolution was the great
est constitutional lawyer in America .
A Virginia planter, Colonel James
Mason, pronounced by Mr. Jefferson
the most' powerful debater he ever
knew. Os all of Georgia’s gifted rep
resentatives, Mr. Forsyth was prob
ably most prompt, vigorous and suc
cessful in debate. This eloquent Sen
ator abandoned the practice of law,
as General Gordon did in early man
hood. Our historic Troupe was not
a lawyer. We have heard that Mr.
Calhoun thought Forsyth the ablest
debater of modern times except the
English O. J. Fox. Fox certainly
never read a law book except for lib
eral information, and this suggests
that England’s grand statesmen, the
Burkes, Fitts, Foxes, Sheridans, Peels,
Cannings, Gladstones, were none of
them lawyers ; at least as such were
never known. Erskine was the most
eloquent lawyer of the British Isles,
but failed utterly as Parliamentary de
hater. We make no controversy with
the noble profession which has furn
ished so many of our ablest statesmen.
Many of the most eminent lawyers
in Georgia have urged General Gor
don’s candidacy for the Senate upon
the grounds, not only of moral, but
.of superior intellectual fitness for the
position. Whose speeches have
drawn so many distinct echoes of ap
proval and applause from surrounding
States as General Gordon’s ? With a
broad brain, capacities of vi : n:% ;u.-
analysis, inferior to none, and that
perfect equipoise of nil the faculties
of the mind that assures the most con
summate judgment, with a great heart
to pour its intuitions over the under
standing, he stands richly endowed
with gifts of the intellect and the soul,
that fit him to rise to the full height
and level of any crisis that may come
upon the country.

in Louisiana, assumes to decide who
j are the eanvottere of votes in that
State, and thus foists upon the people
a Governor, Lieutenant Governor, aud
Legislature, which they did not elect;
aed the Grant .administration, with
the bayonets of its soldiers, sustains
the Judge.in this revolutionary usur
pation. No other party in the histo
iv, of this country ever thought or
dared to broach such dangerous iuva
sions of private right and public liberty
as is attempted by these propositions
and this usurpation. Can anybody
doubt where this policy is tending?—
