In the spring of my love, I was enchanted you’ll see, By a beautiful little lairy, Under the Ilickory-nut tree. When I told ’er I loved er. She only kept laughing at me, But soon I found it all right, Under the Hickory-nut tree. There she admitted at once, How nicely our tempers agree, W hile we were pledging our vows, Under the Hickory-nut tree. I pictured in letters of gold, How merry and happy we’d he, While we were kissing each other Under the liickory-nut tree. ’Twas the pride of my youth, My spirit was ardent and free, Making love to my darling , Under the Hickory-nut tree How dear was each moment to us, Our hearts expanding with glee, While we were testing our faith, Under the Ilickory-nut tree. But one bright morning in May, Oli then lmw unhappy were we, As I told little Hnnie good-bye. Under the Hickory-nut tree. Tho ! I’ve been absent so long, Still memory is clinging to thee, Sweet dream of my Childhood, Under the Hickory-nut tree. Georgia Doings. The last issue of the Newnan Her ald was slim as to local news, Gordon sends sixteen ear loads of articles and stock to the State Fair. The Franklin News comes to us on a halt sheet this week. Hardy Powers, an old citi: en ot Pulaski county is dead. The usual newspaper squabble has been transferred to Augusta. Fire Company No. 2, of Macon, has received its new steamer. The Synod ot Georgia convenes m the Presbyterian Church in New nan this week. W est Point says she is getting some trade this year that she never got be" fore. Jf he negroes near West Point have got to highway robbing each other and yet tliey have in that place, a society called the Band of Devoted Brothers. Hollifield of the West Point News is still growling (or whining, we bard* 3/ know which,) and getting into scrapes. * W. A. Marschalk has bought an in terest in the Cartersvilie Standard & Express and the firm is now Harris & Marschalk. A fellow down at Griffin has got out a [latent to make coffee out of persimmon seed. This is a splendid year to begin. Our country exchanges all over the country are still giving advice to the farmers. It is getting about time for the farmers to rise and exterminate these fellows. An old lady from the country, with six unmarried daughters, went into Augusta, Georgia, the other day, hunt ing the Patrons of Husbandry. Mrs. Judy Coff, an old ladv of six ty two years, living near Miledgeville with her husband, upon some land owned by Tlios Harris, was shot in a terrible manner by the latter, who had quarrelled with .them about some work. Mrs. Cuff was riddled with shot while standing in her Irout floor, and her recovery is doubtful. Harris, who is about seventy years old, is in jail. The following account of an awful railroad accident on the South western Railroad we find in the Griffin News : At 6 o’(dock this morning, a terri-. hie collision took place on the South Western Railroad, about 14 miles be low the city. The Eufaula Freight Train, Mathews, conductor, going down, collided with tlie Columbus Passenger Train, Jeter, conductor, coming up four miles below Seago ! Station. The trains were badly wrecked— several persons being killed and oth ers dangerously wounded. Mr. Chick, the Express Messenger, was badly tnashed tip, his head being terribly injured, and it is thought lie will die. Win. M. Miller, mail agent, head crushed, will die, Wade Hardwick, negro, ribs torn from back, will die, F. M Wilson, wood passer, foot crushed ; J. D. Johnson, Savannah, slight in head and hip ; Geo. Tidwell, shoulder dislocated. Two engines, four coaches and live or six freight cars a complete wreck Loss to the road about $60,000. The Freight Train bad passed the Station, the meeting point, and hence the collis ion. Mr. Mathews lias long been in the employ of this Road, and was looked upon as one ol its most tiuest and cL i ficient employees. CARROLLTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER .31. 1873. The Old Types Jhe country-bred men and women who have reached the age of fifty years are all able to recall a picture lying now far back in the mellow at mosphere of the past—of a band of children standing hand inshand by the side of the dusty highway, and greet ing with a smile and bow and ‘‘curt esy” every adult passenger whom they met on their way to ami from school. They were insructed in this polite obeisance by their teachers. It was a part ot the old New England drill which, so far as we know, has been entirely discontinued. We do not re member to have seen such a sight as this for twenty-five years. It would be such an old fashioned affair to wit ness now, that multitudes would only reward it with a smile of amusement }et with all our boasted progress can we show anything that is better or more suggestive of downri, lit healthy good breeding ? Are the typical boy and girl of the period better manner ed, more reverent, more respectful to* ward manhood and womanhood, more deferential to age ? Do they grow up with more regard for morality, re ligion, law, than they did then ? Alas ! with ail our books, and our new processes of education, and the universal sharpness of the juveline intellect ot the day, we miss some thing that was very precious among the children of the old time—rever ence for men and women, systematic courtesy iu simple forms, and respect tor the wisdom of the pulpit, the school-room and the fireside. If we* were called upon to describe the mod el boy or girl, we should be obliged to call up the old type—the rude healthy lads and lasses whosnow ball ed each other, battled with each oth er in spelling-bouts, and imbibed the spirit ot reverence tor their elders with every influence ot church and school and home. We have made progress in some directions, but in some we have sadly retrog&ded. Our hoyß are all young men, and our girls arc fearfully old. Our typical child has no longer the spirit of a child. Occasionally, we meet what are popularly denominated “gentlemen of the old school. We have only enough of them among us to make us wish that we had many more, —men of courtly dignity, of unobtrusive dress, of manners that seem a little formal but winch are, nevertheless, the manners of gentlemen. They re tnind us of the worthies of the old col onial time and of the later time of the Revolution—ot Washington and Madison and Franklin—of men whom all revered, and to whom all gave obeisance. Into what has this style of men grown, info what have they been degraded ? Looking where they would te piretyj certain to congregate if they were in exis- see them at Newport du ring the past season ? Have they abounded at Saratoga ? Have thev been found in dignified and graceful association with the President of the United States at Long Branch ? Are they pi esiding over municipal affairs in our great cities ? Do they enter largely into the composition of Con gress, even after we have substracted the gamblers and carpetbaggers ? If we have them in considerable num bers, where are they ? Certainly they have either ceased to be reproduced in our generation, or they are so much disgusted with the type of men met in public life and fashionable society that they studiously hide themselves from sight. There is little comfort in either alternative, but we must ac cept one or the other. Progress has doubtles been made in many things. We are richer, bet ter clothed, better fixed, better hous ed, better £ed and better educated than we used to be. Our railroads run everywhere, our well-nigh ex haustles* resources have been broach ed in a thousand directions; we count the increase of our population by mil lions ; the emigrants of the world all move towards us ; colleges, churches and school-houses have gone up with the building of the States, and the States themselves have multiplied so rapidly that not one American in ten knows exactly how many are in the Union. All this is true but during the past twenty five years we judge that we have made no improvement in the typical American gentleman. If the old men with their knee-buckles and cocked hats could have* looked in upon the President and his chosen friends at Long Branch last summer | we are inclined to think the latter would have been a good deal embar rassed with the situation. If they could have walked through the piazzas of the Grand Union at Saratoga, how many equals would they have met v ?— how many men who in manners, dig nity, culture and spirit would have j felt at home with them ? The old type of merchants—the old tvpe ot statesmen—the old type of gentle men—surely we have not improved upon these. The restless, greedy, grasping, time-serving spirit ot our generation has vitiated and degraded this type, and in our efforts at im provement we may well go back to the [>ast for our models. What shall we say about the old type of women as compared with the present representatives of the best of the sex ? The saintly, heroic, Lugal, industrious wives and mothers of the earlier days of the Republic—have we improved upon ‘them? Have the latter-day doctrines of woman’s rights made them more modest, more self denying, more virtuous, better wives and mothers, purer and more active Christians, better heads of the institu ; tion of home, more lovely companions for men ? We are aware that the answer to those questions involves j the approval or the condemnation of the doctrines themselves, and it is well that the men and women of I America be called upon to see and de- cide upon those doctrines from this point of view. Is the type of the American woman improved ? Has it been improved in the last twenty years, especially inside the circles that have taken the improvement of the position of woman upon their hands ? America is full of good woman. As a rule they are undoubtedly better than the men, but certainly the men whose instincts are true are attracted most to those women who approach nearest to the ancient type. the final result of our civilization is to be reckoned in character. If this is not satisfactory, nothing is satisfac tory. If we are not rearing better children and ripening better men and women than we were a century ago then something is radically wrong, and the quicker we retrace our steps to see where we have diverged from the right track, the better. The typ ical American—man, woman and and child—is the representative pro duct of all the institutions and influ ences of our civilization. As the type improves or degenerates, do these in stitutions and influences stand approv ed or condemned before the world.— Progress cannot be recoiled in rails roads and steamboats, or counted in money, or decided in auy way by the census tables. Are wepioducing bet ter children and better men and wo men ? That is the question which decides everything ; and we have call ed attention to the old types in order that we may arrive at an intelligent conclusion..Zb*. ./. G. Holland; Scribner s for A ov. The Mission Field of the South. Rev. Dr. IToge's Address Before the Evangelical Alliance—The Ob stacles and Facilities to the Prog ress of the Gospel. During Friday’s session of the Evan gelical Alliance, in New York Rev. Dr. Hoge,of Richmond, read, by spe cial appointment, a paper on the Mission Field of the South, which was “listened to, ” according to the Tribune, “with great interest.” From the full and excellent reports published by the Tribune, and which is too long for publication in our col umns, we cull some highly interesting passages. No abler or fairer defence ot the Christian civilization of the South has ever come under our nos tice. Coming now to a more important division of my subject, I remark that there are some hindrances to the progress of the Gospel among our people, some of which cannot be im mediately removed. The sparseness of the population, compared with the territorial extent of most of the south ern States, is a serious obstacle to the establishment either of schools or churches. Living upon large planta tions, as many of their inhabitants do, necessarily remote from each oth er, not yet recovered from the im poverishment of unsuccessful war, it is often impossible to unite in suffici ent numbers for the maintenance of the ordinances of religion. There is a partial remedy for this hindrance in the efforts ot the Mission Boards of different denominations to supply pe<v pie so situated with evangelistic labor and with healthy religious reading.— But another hindrance to the spiritual improvement from that source is found in the ignorance of a large class of the population, debarring them from the benefit of a iy teaching that is not. oral. Intending to present as faithfully as I can a true picture of my field, I do not suppress the fact, though it pains me to admit it, that the United States census reveals a larger percen tage of illiteracy even among the na tive white population of the South fihan is to be found in any other pors tion of the Union. But the obstacle to spiritual improvement, like that occasioned by sparse population, time and effort will speedly remove. In deed, the educational interest of the South have recently received a mighty impulse. Certain circumstances have aroused the people in reference to the education ot all classes, and they are addressing themselves earnestly to the great undertaking. Thousands of our planters and farmers at the close of a desolating war, even brfore they began to retrieve their material losses, made provision for the educa tion of their sons for the purpose of securing to them a capital which none of the vicissitudes of life could de prive them of, and by which they might always obtain an honorable maintenance They did not agree with Montagu’s father, that “your scholar costs too much ’, but they believed there was no investment of money which brought returns so splendid not only to the individual mind illumined and invig orated by noble learning, but to the State, whose shattered fortunes could be best reconstructed by filling it ’ with young men qualified by thorough classical and scientific training to de velop its material resources as well as advance its intellectial and moral power. They knew that if the pres tige so long attached to gentle blood and hereditary wealth could not be maintained that tiie aristocracy of lalent and acquirement would never lose its influence. The young men, too, comprehended the situation ; and the eonsquence was, all the colleges and higher schools of the South be gan to be revived, and were tilled with eager, ambitious young men deter i mined to achieve whatever victories i may be wou on the peaceful fields of ! studious letters. In Virginia we have the advantage of an institution which is in effect a I normal school to all other educational institutions. The University of Vir ginia was the first iu the land orga- i nized on a system which made it the | true culmination of the primary school, the academy, and the college, above them all in its standard, yet drawing them all upward by degrees to an approximation with itself by furnish ing them with a proper ideal, and by supplying them with the true princi pies of instruction. Lest I should seem to speak too warmly of our \ U niversity with its elective system and independent schools—some of j them of applied science-ami profes sors better known, pehaps, in Europe than nearer home, I mav sav that a distinguished scholar of Great Brit ain who recently visited this country I to study its educational systems, in his published estimate of our Univer : sitv. gives it a rank higher than I have ! done, and says some of its methods of instruction, long familiar there, are | just beginning to be introduced into j the best institutions abroad. (Dr. Porter, author of “Giant Cities of Bashan, etc) And now that Virgin l ia, toolmg content with fostering her higher scools, has taken up in earnest the education of the masses, it is ensv to see what an impulse will be given to the cause by such teachers as the l niversity is sending out, and by the elevated standard which it presents to all institutions of inferior grade. But more important than the re moval of ignorance is the removal of spiritual blindness ; and it is with .Christian as witii heathen countries that, though the teacher and the preacher may go together, it" is the Gospel after all which is the power of God to the salvation of men. Having spoken of obstacles, I may now enumerate some facilities, to the progress of the Gospel in the south ern field. CHARACTERISTICS OF SOUTIINRN PEOPLE. Otie is, that the people of the South are the most homogen’o is on the conti nent. As yet the foreign element is cemparatavely small ; and the c >nti uental forms of unbelief do not pre vail among them. speaking the same language, with common traditions and sympathies binding them togeth er, of course the religious teacher ob tains readier access to them than where different races, tongues, and creeds are elements of disintegration in society. Again : Our native population is not restless, it clings to the old ancestral home ; it also cleaves to an cestral religious faith. It not only abides by the soil in which the dust of noble forefathers is mingled, it is loyal to the creeds associated with the memories ot pious'parents. The nov el and specious forms of error, which elsewhere have elaborated the old landmarks, find no welcome among them. Tlje irreligion of the South is rather the irreligion of recklessness, of ignorance, of passion, than of i ifidi li tv or of crystalized forms of unbelief. There are many communities in this land where the truth has scarcely pen etrated, so crusted over are they, and incased by formulated systems of iin piety. But no neighborhood in the South is, inaccessible because of en trenched infidelity. SceptieaTisms, which spread like epidemics in some quarters, were never popular there. And least of all are our people infect" ed by the scientific sceptical philoso phy of the day, which asserts such an unvarying uniformity in the operation of physical law as to leave no place in the universejjof God for the supernat ural, and therefore denies miracle, dis credits prophecy, and silences prayer It follows, therefore, that when the Christian teacher comes among us he does not have the double task ot first storming some outwork of infidel ity before he attacks the central citas del of natural aversion to evangelical truth, and this greatly facilitates his labors among our people. CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION OF THE SOUTH. lam tempted to enter into those details about Southern characteristics because there is perhaps no part of the world little understood—no people about whom so many erron eous impressions prevail.* We have few opportunities for correcting them. Our large cities are few and far apart. Our newspapers are for the most part provincial. Distinguished foreigners visiting the United States finJ more to interest them north of the Po tomac. and seldom derive their infor mation of the South from personal observation. If we sought for vindi cation, however, we would find it in an impartial and official source, bear ing a testimony to the Christian civ ilization so emphatic as to be worth reproducing. One of the tables of the United States Census Report gives the Sta tistics of pauperism and crime in all the states of the Union. Freedom from both ot these evils unquestiona bly indicates a healthful and elevated civilization. The Southern States stand highest iu the list in these re* j spects. 1 contrast the statements made : in the census report in regard to pau perism and crime in the New England j | States and in the Southern States, not j for the purpose ot making an invidi ous comparison, which I have no de | to do, but because the New England States are generally spoken of as dis tinguished for thrifty industry and high moral character. 1. Pauperish prevails in the New England States in the proportion of forty-four to every 10,0)3 of the entire j population. In the Southern States ; the proportion is thirteen to every i 10,000 of the entire population. 2. In the native New England pop illation the ratio is forty-seven to ev erv 10,000. In tne entire white pop ulation of the South, native and for eign, tne ratio is only fourteen to 10,- | 0 )0. 2 In the foreign population of tne New England States the ratio of ! pauperism is thirty.fi ve to every 10,- : 000 Among the colored people of Southern States the ratio is thirteen to every 10,0)0. 1. Iu the United States census ta bles of criminal statistics we are told that in the entire New England pop ulation the proportion is 11 in 10,000 in the entire Southern population it is 8 in 10,000. 2. In the native New England pop ulation it is 8 in every 10,000. In the entire white population of the South, native and foreign, the propor tion of criminals is a little over H in every 10,000. 3. In the foreign New England population the proportion of criminals is 26 in every 10,000; in the colored population of the Southern States it is about 13 in 10,000. Another surprising revelation which these census-tables makes is in refer ence to church accommodations: 1. In j the New England States there are 5421 churches, with 2203,607 sittings. Total population, 3,437,094. In the Southern States there are 18,000 churches, with sittings for 4,706,937 persons. Total population, 9,487,386. From the New York Tribune. Serious Business for Con gress. Cool observers of the panic will feel relieved now that the Secretary of the Treasury has ceased to be an ac tive combatant. lie did not stop his bond purchases a moment too soon. The money he paid out was not enough to satisfy the wishes of the inflationists and speculators, while it was too much to withdraw from a Lreas iry by no means overflowing.— The currency payments of the Gov ernments are now over live hundred thousand dollars a day, while the cur rency receipts are about three hun dred thousand dollars. Hence the Government requires a million and a quarter of legal tenders, each week iu addition to its currency disburse ments. Where, then, is this necessa ry million and a quarter to be obtain ed ? Lmtil the Secretary resumes his gold sales he can provide himself with currency only by increasing the legal tender circulation. A few words as to the gold. With in a hundred days claims against the Treasury gold will mature, which ad ded to the bonds and interest already due, will aggregate about one bun died million dollars, exclusive of the coin certificates. We mention this fact not to excite alarm but for the purpose of showing that the Treasury, having already done too much, is in no condition for further exertions.— According to the official statements of the public debt, issued September L the Treasury theu owned $42,697,- 846 in coin, over and above the amount of tiio outstanding coin cer tificates. One hundred days will bring us to the 4th of January. Start ing from the first of the month, and including the amounts then due, the Treasury gold is or will become sub ject to the following drafts : Five-twenties matured previous to June 1, 1873, including £lO - payable ou that date $11,574,850 Interest on the same, 141,505 Gold sold Sept. 4 and 11 3,000,000 Five twenties called for payment Sept.

If the account as stated is correct, or anywhere near correct, the Treasury has not a dollar of gold to sell. The situation is just this: LTp on the subsidence of the present strin gency in the money market we shall have. I. A market glutted with gold and legal tenders. 11. A Treasury nouring both gold and legal t'‘rulers into that market, and powerless to withdraw either its coin or paper. The United Stales Government, which but yesterday was [mying off its bonds at the rate of one hundred nUlions a year, will be forced t 6 re gret again, as in war times, to the pa per mil's and printing presses to pay its running expenses. So much we shall owe to a Secretary of the Treas ury who has’ tliis summer let out near ly forty millions of his cash to bolster up the syndicate, break down the gold premium, and pay off the panic stricken servant girls who made the run on the savings banks. The banks ot this city are making a gallant tight against immense ob stacles. We think Mr. Richardson has given them but little assistance, while he has done serious injury to the great institution of wnich he is the head. There is, moreover, this additional bad feature—that whatever may be the upshot of the present troubles, there is certain to be inces sant derangement from the Treasury Department until Congress contrives some plan for the relief of. the helpless Secretary. Whether the printing press is to run night and day, wheth er the legal tender circulation is to be contracted or expanded, whether gold is to be at fifty premium or at par, we shall not know until the wisdom of Congress has been applied to what is | after all a most knotty probl era. - - ■>»♦ A SI,BOO fire oceured in Macon last .
