V rail of a man that women in lie proud
oc’ attracting, none the Ires bemuse lie
eares very little, I should say, lor wo*
men in general.”
“Really, MiUy, vnn seem to have
studied Mr. {Sutherland very elo«elv.
considering this may he your first ac
quamtaiiee with him.”
She laughed, blushed and threw back
her beautiful go tiled hair.
“.No, I don't know as I have ; he
devoted himself to no* a good deal this
evening, and I couldn't help forming
my opinion, you know. There is to
be h cioquel party to-morrow at the
ilollies, and Mr. {Sutherland made me
promise to eotne up and bring you, if
you would route ; but 1 told linn be
forehand that 1 knew you would not,
knowing your dislike to that delectable
means lor the promotion ol flirting.”
And alter this it happened that MiUy
either went or was sent lor nearly every
day up to the Hollies—where, indeed,
she was very much in the habit ol
going; while 1, who had long ceased
to caie lor anv companionship beside
mv sister’s, sat at home, longing with
;. lect-rish longing to see Mark {Suther
land once more, and yet (heading with
n sickening dread to meet the careless,
estranged glance of the dark eyes that
had looked once into mine, full ol
love.
It seemed that Mark not unfrequently
accompanied Millv part of the way
home; but lie never came near enough
to our cottage for rue to catch even the
most distant glance ol him, and my lit
tle sister hail some how ceased to talk
ol him alter the first. So, although I
mil knew he staid at the Hollies, he
might almost as well have been across
the wide ocean as (ar as 1 was con
cerned. And yet —oh, no! the sense
of his presence seemed to he home to
me upon every r breath of the swee*
summer air that floated into my room.
1 could not sleep at night, nor rest
calmly bv day: and often, while Millv
sat with her friends, l used to wander
out, scarce heeding wlieie I went, im
patient only ol rest.
One day, when this terrible y earning
was strong upon me, I took my sketch
ing materials, from force of habit, and
set out to walk to a pretty woiril at
some distance. The cool, green fra
grance of the leafv shadows was grate"
iu 1 alter the glaring sunshine, and I sat
down to rest where they felt coolest.
But a sudden sound of laughter and
merry voices, dose at hand, startled
me, and not willing to see who the
speakers were, I got up and flnl swiftly
down the darkest and most tangled ol
the paths that branched away into the
heart of the wood. 1 soon left the
inerrv voices far behind me. and, slack
ening nty walk, 1 wandered on, dreamy
and ibsorhed as ever, till, suddenly
Miming into anothar path, 1 saw what
caused me to stand still and forget
everything but what my eyes looked
upon. Mark Sutherland ! Yes, Mark;
older, darker, thinner, but Mark him
sell. Ah, how the green marshes, and
the widening sea-wal!, and the lark
singing far up in the sky, all floated
before mv eyes, as 1 saw the downward
bend cf his stately head to look into
the face beside him—the face that
looked up into his, with those candid
blue eyes, amt a smile upon the soft
parted lips. The smile seemed to re
flect itself upon Mark’s grave face for
an instant, and then he look up a little
hand lying on his arm, and kissed it
tenderly. 1 looked no longer; I crept
away ; stricken with a dumb anguish, a
dreadful, sullen despair, 1 crept away
and went home. For 1 knew the
candid blue eyes, the sweet smile, and
the floating golden hair; they were mv
sister Millv’s. Oh, hud I not done
enough ! Had I not sacrificed enough ?
Was my cup not so lull but that this
hitter drop must be added to its
overflow ?
So 1 cried in my anguish ; and it was
long before better thoughts came to me,
or that, coining, 1 could hold them
firmly and take comfort. But by and
by 1 rose from where I had flung my
self down, and sat by the window to
watch for Millv. {She came along
presently in the quiet evening light,
and I looked at her with my eyes
treslily opened. 1 had never yet ceas
ed to think ot her as a child ; l realized
in one moment now, that child was a
woman. 1 looked at the beautiful,
iresh young lace, and involuntarily i
glanced at the reflection ol my own in j
the mirror opposite. I never could ■
have been iu mv best days what Milly :
was; and now—l turned awav with a
sigh from the image id the faded women,
with pale lips and weary dark eyes.
Miilv came in the next instant,
throw »ff her hat, and, coming up beside
me, took my face between her two spit
hands, looked into it tenderly for a
minute, then kissed me, and sat down
u n!i her arm around me.
“But, my dear, l have something to
tell,” she began, with a strange tremble
in her voice, though she was smiling
too ; “a wonderful thing.”
“Don’t you think 1 could ever guess
it Milly dear?” 1 asked, pressing the
1 ut*e one to my throbbing breast.
“\ou never could; and yet how
your heart is beating !” she said, look
ing up at me timidly ; “l believe you
really do.” Then, sinking her face
down to my shoulder once more, she
added, almost in a whisper, “Hester,
he told me to ask you whether you
would see him to-moirow.”
“He, means Mr. Sutherland, of
course!”
* Ol course, Hester; do you mean to
say yes?” asked Mdly, stealing anoth
er ol these timid glances at me.
“Mv ‘yes’ will go with yours, Millv,
dear.”
• Ci»dble«s you, Hester l mv darling,
im dear, clear sister.” cried Milly,
lirveinh ; and for a long "bile we
. were both silent. jNur, indeed, did she
'mention .Mr. Sutherland’s name again-;
! nor recur in any way to the subject,
(ill about the middle of the next day,
she suddenly sprung up from her place
by the window, and glancing at n.e
with a vivid blush and smile ran out of
the room, and 1 heard her fly upstairs.
Then I knew who was corning, and
I 1 sat still, because to move was entirely
out ol my power. fSo, when he en
tered the room, 1 sat and thought, I
! field out my hand and tried to utter a
! greeting. 1 know that mv lips only
hiiirinured inarticulately. He looked
I at me as he held my hand ill a momen
tary grasp, and I thought there was both
pain and a shock ol surprise in his lace.
Then lie began :
! “I have not come unexpectedly, I
hope ? Milly promised to ask you—to
tell you”—
“She did tell me; I expect you ? ” I
strove to say ; and I hope 1 said it qui
j etly.
• Did vnu guess why I wanted to see
you ?” lie asked, with that directness of
speech I remembered so well.
“Yes. 1 even went so far as that.” I
answered, and smiled —oil ! what a win
try smile, if it did not belie my heart. j
“Os course 1 could only have one
purpose iu asking to see you again
he went on quietly ; “but all! Hester,
what will you sr.y to me this time?”
“What does Milly say?”
“Mdly ! always Millv still ! hut Hes
ter it is for you to answer rue first,”
he said, and abruptly walking from his ;
position or the hearth he Came and sat ■
down beside tne.
“Hester—l must call you so—did
your sister tell you what I said to her ■
y t sterday ?”
“She let me infer it.”
“Infer ! Fiddledee ! Nothing like i
plain speaking to express meaning,” he
spoke out rather impetuously. “But
you are so cold, so unlike your old
self, Hester, that l could not take it for
an answer to what L came to ask.
Did Milly tell you that yesterday—for
I have grown to love that little girl
dearly—Hester! Hester! What have I
said ? What is the matter?”
I hated, despised myself for the
weakness, but the mortal struggle of
yesterday was not done yet. 1 could
not hear this man, whom I It ad loved
so long, so deeply, avow to my face,
his transferred affections to mv sister,
and be unmoved. Involuntarily 1 i
grasped the arm of my chair for sup- !
port, for my life seemed lading from
me in the struggle. He bent over me,
lie lilted my faint head on his broad
breast, but I shrank from him feebly.
“It is nothing. lam often faint. I
am quite well again. You were say ing
—yes, go on, Mr. Suth?rlaud.”
“I was saying—ah, Hester—l think
I need no! go on —you are so changed,
dear,” he said, looking down at me
whh sorrowful perplexity. “Well, well,
Milly led me on to hope; but I ought
to have known better. You never
cared for me iu the beginning as 1 did
tor you.”
“Su-ely, surely, that bygone ought
to he a bygone, now,” 1 cried bitterly.
“ff you say that, it ought, indeed,”
he answered, filming from me ; “but 1
told you then, Hester, that I should not
forget y'ou, and from something Mills 7
said, and your remaining unmarried, I
was wild enough to dream—to hope—”
Something—a light that dazzled my
poor eyes —was breaking in upon me as
he spoke.
“Mark !” said I, “what did you come
here to-day to ask me?”
“The same question that 1 asked
eight years ago by the stream in the j
marshes, Hester. 1 have done with |
India; I am no longer a poor man. and I j
want the one woman whom 1 have al
ways loved. Hester is this true? Is
she mine at last?”
For a long time, I think, after this,
we forgot the existence of any one be
sides ourselves. Then I told Mark the
little game of crosspurposes we had
been placing. His incredulous wonder
that I could imagine he had ever thought
of any one but me, touched me to the
heart.
“Poor Millv !” he said ; “so you
would have put her off with the rever
sion of a heart. No, when she marries,
may she be what you are, Hester —her
husband’s first and last love.”
How to Make Butter. —Everybody
likes good butter, and very few know
how to put it up so as to keep it fresh and
sweet. For the benefit of those who
desire information oil the subject, we
publish the annexed recipe, from the
Petersburg Index, recommend them to
try it:
Take 2 quarts of good salt, 1 ounce of
sugar, 1 ounce of saltpetre. Use 1
ounce of the composition for 1 pound of
butter. It should he stamped and left to
cool before putting in jars. Butter
prepared in this wiv should not be u
sed for two or thee weeks. You will
find that your butter will be very fine,
as it will have no brittle or salty look
or taste. By following this course your
butter will keep the year through, in
warm as well as cold weather.

Cartersville, («a, iprll 19, 1867.
CSen. Pope’s Speech.
The following is Gen. Pope’s speech
made at a recent banquet given him by
the people of Atlanta, in answer to a
toast read to his honor bv one of the
guests, we take from the Daily Opin
ion, will be read with interest by our
readers, inasmuch as it foreshadows,
to some extent at 'east, his future pol
icy lowaius the States over which he
has been assigned as military Guverh
nor. We think we have cause to con
gratulate ourselves upon the appoint
ment of so conservative a gentleman
to that responsible post, as Gen. Pope.
His Headquarters, iu future will be
in Atlanta.
“Mr. President and Gentekmex—
I thank you very much for the cordial
welcome you have gUen me, and for
the kind and-altogether Catholic toast
which has just been read.
1 confess that when I came to this
State, on a duty as distasteful and em
barrassing to me as it could possibly 7
have been disagreeable to you, I
expected, to have been received with
indifference, at least, if not, indeed,
with positive dislike. The kind and
friendly welcome, and tho assurances
of hearty co-operation in tha discharge
of the duly imposed upon me, which I
have received at your hands, have been
as unexpected as they are grateful, and
encourage the hope that my mission
among you will be belli brief and sat
isfactory.
1 am sure it is not necessary to tell
most, if, indeed, any of those here
present, that the legislation of Con
gress, which I have been sent here to
execute, was conceived in no spirit of
hostility or bitterness to the Southern
people, but as the speediest and most
satisfactory means of restoring the
Southern States to the Union. It is
based upon the theory that the political
issues which brought about the late war
are dead, and should be buried as soon
and as deep as possible.
Any policy of inaction, at this day,
based upon the recollection or revival of
these issues, can only lead to the de
struction of those in whose interest it
is inaugeraled.
It is the destiny of our people to live
together under one government, and the
speediest and in st satisfactory means
by which political equality can be
restored, are provided for iu these acts
of Congress.
No method better, more lenient, or
more conducive to the public good, is
likely again to be proposed. It is easy
to “go farther and fare worse,” but it
is scarcely wisdom to abandon what we
can have for that which, in the nature
of things, must be beyond our reach.
These measures are proposed by Con
gress as a final settlement of our diffi
culties.
If accepted in the spirit, and with the
sincerity which prompted them, our
troubles will be at an end. If rejected
by the vote of the people of these
Southern States, an issue is left open
which every day will make more ditfi
cult to settle. It is with no common
satisfaction, therefore, that I find in
your assurance of hearty co-operation
in executing these acts of Congress,
good grounds for belief that the ques
tions which have perplexed and an
noyed us so long, are about to be
solved. Ihe restoration ofthese South
ern States to the Union cannot give the
Southern people more satisfaction than
it will give to the country generally ;
and we may hope, then, to see a revival
of that prosperity and progress which
have marked our history from the
beginning of our national life to the
beginning of the late civil war.
It is not unlikely that you expect
from me some indication of the course
I intend to pursue in the execution of
mv office; but, whilst it would be
manifestly improper for me, under the
circumstances, to gratify your wishes,
it is much to be doubted whether, with
every inclination, it would be possible
lor me to do so.
The acts of Congress prescribe m v
duties, and the means by which they
are to be perlormed. but the manner in
which these means arc to be used tic
• pends so much upon circumstances
which may arise from day to day, and
conditions which are liable to constant
change, that I could hardly be expect
ed to lay down any rule of action new
which might not be so far departed
from, and eo frequently* that it would
rathec mislead lban,guide you.
It will be sufficient for me to say,
generally*, line it is my purpose that
the military forces tinder my command
shall appear as little as possible in your
civil affairs, and that I myself shall
appear in them only so far as the law
requires. Os course* upon the people
themselves must depend how much or
how little they see or feel the military
authority which has been placed over
them,
I shall endeavor-=-and, I trust, with
success—to discharge my duties a
mongsl you with strict fidelity to the
law, with fairness, and with duejregard
to the rights of all. so that when we
come to part we may take leave of each
other, if not with concurrence of opin
ion, at least with feelings of mutual
kindness and respect.
1 beg that you will again accept my
thanks for the kindly feeling you have
manifested toward me, and my cordial
good wishes for your welfare arid
prosperity.”
The Military Stay Law,
The telegraph announced outlie 15th
that General Sickles, commanding in
the Second Military District, had issu
ed an order Staying the collection of
civil debts. The Charleston papers of
tfie day following contain a copy of the
order at length. It is said to give great
satisfaction. We copy so much as is
necessary to a general understanding
of the letter and spirit of the order:
I. Imprisonment for debt is prohib
ited, unless the defendant in execution
shall be convicted of a "fraudulent con
cealment or disposition of his property,
with intent to hinder, delay and prevent
the creditor in the recovery of his debt
or demand. And the proceedings now
established in North and South Caroli
na, respectively, for the trial and
determination of such questions may be
adopted.
11. Judgements or decrees, for the
payment ol money, on causes of action
arising between the 19th of December,
1850, and tiie 15th of May, 1805. shall
not be enforced by execution against
the property or the person of the de
fendant. Proceedings in such causes
of action, now pending, shall be stayed;
and no suit or process shall be hereafter
instituted, or commenced, for any such
causes of action.
111. Sheriff’s, Coroners, and Consta
bles, are hereby directed to suspend for
twelve calendar months, the sale of all
property, upon execution or process,
on liabilities contracted prior to the
l9th of December, 180.), unless upon
the written consent of the defendants,
except in cases where the plaintiff, or
iu his absence, his agont or attorney,
shall, upon oath, with corroborative
testimony, allege and prove that the
defendant is removing, or intends
fraudulently to remove Ii is property
beyond the territorial jurisdiction of
the Court. The sale of real or persona!
property by foreclosure of mortgage is
likewise suspended for twelve calendar'
months, except in cases where the
payment of interest money, accuring
since the lslh day of May, 1305, shall
not have been made before the day of
sale.
IV. Judgments or decrees entered or
enrolled, on causes of action arising
subsequent to the 15th of May, 1805,
may be enforced by execution against
the property of the defendant; and in
the application of the money arising
under such executions regard shall he
had to the priority of liens, unless in
cases where the good faith of any lieu
shall be drawn in question. In such
case.? the usual mode of proceeding
adopted in North and South Carolina,
respectively, to determine that ques
tion, shall be adopted.
V. All proceedings for the recovery
of money under contracts, whether
under seal or by parole, the considera
tion for which was the purchase ol
negroes, are suspended. Judgments or
decrees entered or enrolled for such
cause of action, shall not be enforced.
VI. All advances of moneys, subsist
ence, implements and fertilizers,loaned,
used, employed or required for the
purpose of arding the agricultural pur
suits of the peopld, shall be protected.
And the existing laws- which have
provided the most efficient remedies in
such cases for the lender will be sup
ported and enforced. Wages tor labor
performed in the production of the crop
shall be a lien on the crop, and pay
ment of the amount due for such wages
shall be enforced by the like remedies
provided to secure advances of money
and other means for the cultivation' of
the soil.
VII. In all sales of property under
execution or by order of any court,
there shall be reserved out of the
property of any defendant, who has a
family dependent upon his or her labor,
a dwelling house and appurtenances
and twenty acres of land for the use and
occupation of the family ol the defend
ant ; and necessary articles of furniture,
apparel, subsistence, implements of
trade, husbandry or otheremployments,
of the value of five hundred dollars.
The homestead exemption shall inure
only to the benefit of families —that is
to say; to parent or parents and child.
or children. In other rases, the ex
emption shall extend only to clothing,
1 implement? of trade or other employ*
I ment usually followed hy the defendant,
of the value of one htindteri dollars.
The exemption hereby made shall dot
be waived or defeated by the act of the
defendant. The exempted property of
i the defendant shall be ascertained by
| the Sheriff, or other officer errtureing
the execution, who shall specifically
describe the same and make a report
thereof in each case to the court.
Address of Governor Jcnlilus.
Washington City, I). G\ j
April 10, 1867., )
To the People of Georgia:
During the late civil war you were
distinctly informed, by legislature re*
solves, and by Executive proclatna*
lions, emanating from the United States
Government, that it was waged against
you, not vindictively, not for the pur*
pose of conquest, but solely lor the
maintenance ot the Union. The theo
ry announced was that, by her
ordinance of secession, Georgia had
not placed herself, nor could in any
way place herself, without its pale, but
that at whatever Cost rtf blood and
treasure, the resistance of her people to
the authority of the United Slates must
be suppressed.
With these ideas in your minds (ac
tuated by what considerations it matters
not), in April, 1865, you, in good faith,
ceased that resistance, laid down your
arms, and made full submission.—
From these premises it is undeniable
that you had a right to except, as it is
notoriously true you did expect, spee
dy restoration to the position in the
Union from which you had essayed to
withdraw —your status unchanged,
save in the abolition of slaver}', to
which, with amazing equanimity, you
assented, by word and by act.
To this work of restoration, the
President of the United States, in the
recess o( the Congress, faithful to the
theory promulged as above stated, ad
dressed himself, with much of circum
stantial detail ar.d elaborate machinery,
but in a spirit ofunaflected kindness.
His prescribed prog .-amine you strict-
Iv pursued—all that was antagonistic
to the United Stales Government you
expunged from your records ; all that
was required to put von again in proper
relation with that Government, you
did. When next the Congress assem*
bled, your State Government (which
had been temporarily suspended ) was
in full operation—Senators and Repre
sentatives, regularly elected and duly
commissioned, presented themselves in
the halls ot Congress and w;re refused
admission. Yet the postal, revenue
and judicial systems of the Federal
Government were extended over Geor
gia as over Massachusetts and Ohio.
Direct taxes assessed against the several
States of the Union, by acts previously
passed, Mere collected from you. An
amendment of the Federal Constitu
tion, proposed by the Congress in the
prescribed forms, was presented to
your Legislature for ratification or
rejection, as to those of New York and
Pennsylvania. This you ratified, and
your ratification was accepted. Your
State Government moved uniiuertupt
edly in its proper sphere its Legislative
and Executive Departments holding
communication with departments of
tlie Federal Government, as in the
palmy, peaceful days of the Republic.
Thus one long session of the Congress
transpired, causing no new regret, save
ybur continued exclusion from the
National Counsels. This you bore —
if not u ncomplainingly. at least sub
missively—patiently awaiting the pre
valence of counsels more liberal, more
just. Out during the first session of
the Thirty-ninth Congress another
amendment was proposed to the Con
stitution, and presented to your Legis
lature for consideration ai:d ratification
or rejection. This was considered in
the interval between the first and sec
ond sessions of Thirty-ninth Congrcs ,
and, in terms entirely respectful but
quite distinct, rejected. Other States
(now and always participant in Fed
eral legislation, whose status, as mem
bers of the Union, has never been
questioned) likewise rejected it and are
unmoleetcdt Against Georgia and oth
er Slates similarly situated, the rejec*
lion seems to have stimulated the ire
of the National Legislators. After
having treated Georgia as a State, so
far as coincided with their convenience
or their interest—after having tolehited
her Government, reconstructed under
Federal Executive auspices, during a
period of eighteen m nitlis, the Thirty*
ninth Congress, just at its close,
enacted a law providing for the recoil*
slruction of your State Government, in
accordance with their will and pleas*
ure, irrespective of your own; and, ad
interim, for your military government.
The Fortieth Congress, taking up the
foie, immediately upon the exniration
of its predecessor, has enacted a law
supplementary to the former, placing
the whole machinery of roconstiuctioti
in the hands of the Military Governor
previously provided for. Construing
the two acts together, that official is
clothed with dictatorial powers over
you, ami sustained bv as many bayo
nets as may be necessiry to the end in
view. The}' prescribe, as indispensa
ble provisions in your contemplated
Constitution, several articles which the
enacting power well knows you disap
prove, and some of which, as applicable
to themselves, other States now in lull
fruition of the Union disapprove, and
have recently rejected. Lastly, tin sj
enactments for the purposes of this
forced reconstruction, extend the eiec*
tivi franchise to a large ciass of persons
oil whom you have never bestowed it,
and to whom you, as weJl as other
States now repiesented m Congress, by
the rejection of the last proposed
Constitutional Amendment, have re*
fused to extend it.
1 These acts of Congress have been
vetoed by the Presidei, bdt have beeh
passed ov«r his veto hr two-thirds of
each branch of the Congress.
, 1 shall not swell this address hy a
thorough analysis of these acts. They
are fearfully familiar to you. But I
; hesitate not to say to you, that they
, are palpably unconstitutional and griev
ously oppressive.
| Such, fellow-citizens, is your present
Condition, and the official relation I bear
to you, demands that I speak to you of
it. The ail“absort)i«gquestion is, what
I shall Georgia do?
I The public discussions seem to re
cognize only two alternatives, Ist,
j prompt acquiescence in the already
rejected proposal for amendment of the
Federal Constitution, and in all the
requirements of the two acts of Con
' gress before mentioned, together with
I the incorporation of them all, by our
! own acts, into our own constitution and
laws. 2iully, a firm but tempofite
| refusal of such acquiescence and adop
| lion ; and a patient, manlv imlumice of
military government, Until, in the afflux
of time, and on the subsidence olllie
passions generated by civil war, better
counsels shall prevail at the Federal
j capital—we, inean'ime. strictly observ
ing law and order, and vigorously
i addressing ourselves to industrial pur
suits.
As between these alternatives, I have
no hesitation in advising the adoption
of the latter, but forbear at this time to
assign any reasons for this advice, be
cause fellow-citizens, I am far from
believing that these are the only altern
atives. 1 have strong faith that there
remains to us an available remedy. In
the Federal Government there are three
dapartments. Two of them have pass
ed upon these measures, and are in
direct antagonism regarding their con
stitutionality. But in that event, the
Cons'ituliou gives ti the Legislative
Department power to overrule the
Executive, and they have so done.
There still remains, however, the Ju
dicial Department—the greatconserva
tor of the supremacy of the Constitution
whose decrees, unlike the Executive
veto, cannot be overridden by the
Congress. That Department has not
yet spoken. Should it be found
in accord with the Executive, this
usurpation will be arrested. Then,
although, foi a time, you may be denied
representation in Congress, your State
government will remain intact, and
lull restoration will not long be delay
ed.
Watching at home the progress of
these measures, I ga v e, as was my
duty to you, earnest consideration to
the question whether or not we had
any remedy against them. I reached
the conclusion that a case could he
made, giving jurisdiction to the Su
preme Court, wherein the validity of
these acts could be properly tested, and
whereby, ii found invalid, they could
bo arrested. Unwilling to trust, my
own judgment or that of any Southern
jurist, so liable to be swayed by Hie
Idas of Southern interest and Southern
feeling.'immediately upon the passage
of the first act, I came here for the sole
purpose of submitting mv views to, and
consulting with, jurists able and pure,
who would view the whole subject
from a different stand-point. I have
done so, and, by stieh men, my pro 1 *
posed course lias been approved. —
Before von read this the cause of Geor
gia will be in that august tribunal*
hitherto true to the Constitution—the
bulwark of our Liberties. The great
question of relief from that quarter will
he speedily determined. Need I ask
you lo be calm and quiet, committing
yourselves hastily to no particular
course of action? Should we fail (as
fail we may), there will remain nothing
that I can do for you. Your destiny
will be in your own hands, and you
must choose between the alternatives
