AI.FRCII tHE KING. j
Tbe eh: meter ol the great and favor
ite king Alfred, M. U’Amaml, the
Itirraar- •* <n ol' 1 ranee, contemplates
wi'.ii a decree of eiitliuMnsm, which nc*
• r i aks the Routines of fits own heart.
The following anecdote, which is men
tioned by some of the more ancient
E,.jri; s h historians, he lias given in a
manner peculiar to himself; but wtiieh,
while it diffuses a -weetcr charm over
xtie whole composition, rttiJeis it al
most untranslatable:
In Alfred, the most renowned of the
Saxon dynasty in England, with what
delight do we contemplate the benevo
lent and equitable man ! He was the
worthiest monarch that ever swayed a
sceptre, r.rd notning was wanting to
|i )s glory but to he born in a more en
lioh’ened age, and to travc a historian
of genius. He was at once the con
queror, trie legislator, and the great
man. He scattered in England the
iirst tiers of latent, v irtue, iove of or
tier, and patriotism.
’i he pti tee sn effectually' established
line by justice and salutary
law h , that if. it) the night time, a ves
sel of gold haJ been left in the high
way, the proprietor would have found
u again the next day*. Hume, in a few
words, gives this'rare panegyric of
jiim. ‘what he s, ems indeed to ne tlie
model of that perfect character, winch,
under the denomination of a sag.? ° r
wise n ml, philosophers have been ?*.'
fond of delineating, rather as a fiction
nf their imagination, than in the hope
-t»«« «cciutf.it reul'j.' eYislinr. ”
A single act of justice, which we
now proceed to iclate, has secured him
) nn.i rtul fame; heller far than all the
feats of arms, which ages ago, have
been forgotten.
The reign of Alfred wes in that pe
i.od (the ninth century) when the sov
, reigns were only the first men in their
courts. The great lords that surround
ed them enjoy cd those privileges which i
were derived' from the fibula) system. J
A private nobleman ad mi tied into,
the company of his master, and liven
with hint in the most intimate familiar
i.y. lie would invite him to hiseotiir*
ny retreat, which he called a castle,
and entertain him with t-li the hospi-.
tali-.v ot the times.
Allred was making a tour through
) is dominions, accompanied by Ethoi
ber:. ore of his general officers, when.
ri,e day declining, he determined to
take op his abode for the night at the
castb' oi a nobleman, named Albanac ;
.me of those incorruptible men. who
ran preserve their integrity in the
uiiilsi of all tire seductions of op-ulence
„nd grandeur, lie had followed Al
lred in numberless battles, and had re
tired. covered with wounds and with
glory. into the bosom ofa family that
adored him. This family was compos
< and ol a wife, who was never mentioned
hut as an example of virtue ; of two
sons, who promised never to disgrace
their lather’s name; and of three
daughters of exquisite beauty and un
common merit.
Earl Albanac received his royal
master with every demonstration of
joy. He ran to Ids consort and child,
ecu, and hastened to ptesent them to
Vts sovereign. Alfred was instantly
smitten with their charms, but it was
to Ethiiwitha that he surrendered ids
heart. Beautiful as they were, she
eclipsed iter sisters, as the radiant ru*
fir of the day eclipses every other
star. She appeared like the young
dower that blows in the eat-best rays
of the morning sun: and modesty
painted her cheeks wills a rosy hue,
that was heigtened in proportion as
the king strnud to notice her.
i'he supper was prepared, and Al
banac was desirous that the three en
chantresses should participate in the
honor ol waiting upon Alfred, who
never ceased to contemplate their

the remembrance of his military ex
ploits, was impatient to remind his
sovereign ot Tic glorious victories by
which the Danes were driven out of
England ; but the ivi Vs attention in
cessantly returned to Etn.T.vitha. lie
was continually extolling her tied rate
ami easy shape, her rosy mouth, tio."
jo.ii tresses, flowing gracefully down
her shoulders, her alabaster forehead,
and the elegant roundness of her swan
like ncc';. Albanac spoke with kind
ling ardor ot Hastings and Lei—two
famous Danish chiefs whom they had
often defeated in battle ; but the mon
arch found no pleasure in any subject
tn which the came ol Ethelwitha was
left out.
On rising from the table. Ethel with a
was charged to conduct the king to
his apartment; and from her charming
hands lie received the cup of repose.—
"When Albanac, however, retired to his
consort’s apartment, she could not re
frain from observing His pensive and
gloomy air. AY hat distresses you, my
dear lord? said she. Your lace is over
spread with melancholly, while we are
enjoying an horn we ought to be proud
of! The king is dear to us on many
accounts !
Albanac continued silent.
You do not speak, my lord, continu
ed tlva countess, And will you refuse
to open your heart to me ? Y’ou seem
greatly agitated.
I have reason to be so, replied ti e
earl. Du! you not observe that the I
king fixed his eyes continually upon
i>ur daughters ? I may err in my ap
prehensions —but, it Alfred has con- |
ceived a design to hring dishonor upon j
us! Should fie come hither to seek j
amusement in our infamy ! My hon
or—l am distracted at the idea—l
would rather suffer an hundred deaths
—mv w hole family should perish wub
me !
i he eves of a vigilant father vvre
not deceived —Allred itideed loved —
most passionately loved one of ins
daughters. Ethelwitha was the en
chanting object that hat! inspired the
prince with the most violent passion.
Ethelbcrt, my friend, said be to his
companion, it is not a mortal —it is an
angt i ol beauty, innocence, and mod
esty, that we have seen! Did you not
observe her? \\ hat joy—what intox
icating transports must be hs3 who can
obtain the first sign from this young
ami ingenious heart! Speak my d<*ar j
Eihelbert, speck. lam consumed by
the flames cd' love—whatever it cost
me, l must, I will be happy. Could
she but love me.
Can you doubt, my lord, replied
Eihelbert, whether she will meet your
tenderness? King, as well ns lover,
a hero crowned with laurels, ot an age
formed to inspire a mutual ardor ; in a
thousand respects you may be certain
of success.
Early in the morning a servant at
tended at the king’s apartment, and
requested to know whether fie could
be seen
Who would enter at this hour? an
swered the monarch with some pee
v ishness.
1, my lord, exclaimed a voice which
Alfred soon recollected; and he was
i instantly sin prised by the appearance
! of Albanac, holding a drawn sword in
j one hand, and with the other leading
in Ins three daughters, who were in
deep mourning, and in an altitude ol the
most poignant grief.
What do I see? exclaimed the king.
A father whose honor is dearer to him
than i,> itself, replied the earl. Xl}
m&we [i)f ftils Miirusion, I (*hu soon
explain. You area king, and lam
your subject, but no’* -lave )ou
must he sensible from how illustrious
a house lam descended: nod it "ow
becomes me to speak my s- mtiijieuts
freely to you. 1 may A" 3 de
ceived-; but i thought, last night, th..i 1
saw, on your grace’s part a particular
attention to nyp daughters, if you
have conceived the idea of dishonoring
mv family, this sword shall instantly
prevent my shame, I will plunge it
into tlie bosoms of these unfortunate,
but willing victims. But il a pure and
honorable flame be kindled in your
breasts; if an adiance with my house
be not deemed unworthy of royalty,
choose, name her whom you wish to
honor.
Alfred was for ,t moment thunder
struck and silent, but soon recovering
himself, addressed Albanac with a
magnanimity that displayed his exalted
soul. Noble Albanac, said lie. you
recall-Alfred to himself. 1 might have
gone astray ; but you teach me my du
ty. and 1 obey its dictates. M.y choice
is fixed. Beautiful Ethelwitha, here is
mv hand. Can you accept it? With
pleasure l place mv crown upon your
head. 4 seek virtue and beauty upon
inv throne,
Ethelwitha threw herselfatthe king’s
feet; he raised her and embraced her
with transport. lie then embraced
Albanac. Your virtuous courage, said
he, well deserves recompense. I glorv
in having the noblest man in my do
minions for my father-in law.
Ethelwitha was soon afterwards pub
Holy proclaimed queen ; nor did she
wait until the nuptial ceremony was
over to confess to the enraptured mon
arch, that she had given her heart to
him the very moment he had entered
her father’s castle.
General Sehofiehl Issues an Or
der.
Richmond, Aug. 12. —Gen, Scho
field issued an order to day, of which
the following is an extract :
Military commissioners are remind
ed that they are to be governed in the
discharge of their duties by the laws of
Virginia, a., far as the same do not con
flict with the laws of the United Stales
or orders issued from the headquarters,
aiui they are not to supercede the civil
authorities, except in cases of necessi
ty. In such cases the action, or failure
to act of the civil officers, should be
fully reported in order that the com -
manding General may hold them to a
proper accountability for any neglect
of duty.
The Democratic majority over that
of the union party in Kv was mote
than thirty thousand’ Forney’s press
accounted for it in this way : “that die
union party was suieidaYly devided
on two tickets.”
A Teachers convention, to advance
the education, is called to be held at
Atlanta on the 21st inst. the call is
signed by President Lipscombe and o
the. Teachers.
The crop prospects in the middle
and upper portion S. C. was never
better.
Washington, August 14. —The Pres
ident. through General Grant, has
instructed Genera! Sickles that no order
can be issued by the latter conflicting
with the process of Federal courts.
This revokes order No. 10, interfering
with eases recently adjudicated by
Judge Chase in North Carolina.
Sheridan writes Grant complaining
that General Rousseau's general de
meanor towards him was not such as
•he commanding officer of the District
had a nght to expect.

The general desire of the people.of
Georgia, is to know the best line ol
action upon the question presented for
tli- ir decision by the political situation
of the present hour. Small minds anil
great ones are busied with plans, and in
the conflict of opinions have been
muddied and the “point of Honor and
of safety,” is yet undetermined by
thousands. Whoever talks to the hon
est yeomanry of the land, to the steady
men of the country, will find that the
thought ol their hearts is, “What is
best to be done ? ’ Politicians may b<-
arranging parties, and seeking power
and place out of the present distresses
of the nation; but the burden bearers
desire quiet—they implore peace, am!
the honest public mind is a tabula rage;
on which a far-sighted, patriotic, dis
interested staikiman might novt write
the country’s destiny.
The question is not narrowed down
and frittered away into the mere re
habillation of one State, or the Southern
States, hut its grand proportions :p
--pear when it is considered in the light
of a reconstruction of a Nation whose
influences are felt throughout the world,
and to whose fate all eyes are turned,
Up or j the question State alter State
must gooper or later act. It must in
evitably go oil, commencing at the
South, and spreading Northward and
Westward tuitil the whole country
becomes clothed and in its right mind,
or rise becomes more ravingty distract
ed and torn than ever. Tim people of
these States can only act wisely bv
convention of discreetly chosen repre
sentatives. To leave the question open
for newspaper controversy —for the
excited bar an goers of the hustings—for
disputatious (street politicians,) is to
act with the far-famed wisdom of the
ill-fated .Mexicans. But to decide the
question —to settle the controversy by
a legally assembled convention, is to
act like the fathers of this -country in
its happier days. Our voice then, still
is for “a convention !” We care not
who calls it or how, so it be fairly
done. It can be easily shown that a
convention of the people of Georgia
will assemble either under the present
propositions or under others. The
sooner the better. By the time this
conve ution assembles we hope some
man may rise competent to the great
task of steering oar ship out of all this
sea of trouble.
“IMaMShig; Round,”
The cheerful philosophers of the Tige
find something to aumire in every type
of manhood. It should not take vir\
Ireqiient contact with the genus loafer
to make th* in doubt the absolute truth
of tiieir optimism. The drone Ims en
countered the general contempt- from
the beginning and had the roughest
sticks poked at him by sacred and
profane writers in ai! ages, but lie
maintains his ground and perpetuates
himself in each succeeding generation
Closely allied to the loafer absolute,
and yet not fairly to be classed with
him. is an unnamed species, not lacking
in it dustry, but putting on the airs and
manners < i the teoit!mate loafer when
i-fi active duly. inere is no better
wav to describe them than to say that
when not at work they are always
“hanging rewind.” Tnev are generally
young men, who have position and
fortune to win, il they are ever to pos
sess them, but they do not seem to
know the fact, or to care about it if they
do. Having finished tiieir daily tasks
and eaten their regular meals, they de
vote the balance of the day. that is not
given to sleep, io the most unaccount
able and persistent '•hanging' round.”
They keep it up, day by day, year m
year out —aud you may always see the
same set in the same places, wherever
there is a board to sit upon or railing
to 101 l against, with iheir hands in tiieir
pockets up to the wrists and so tight
they seem to be tied there, usually
staring at vacancy, rousing themselves
once hi a while to laugh at a poor joke,
or took at a pretty face or toot, ami
utterly unconscious how much tliey
are in the wav of the busy people that
oass them, or how utterly despicable
thev are making themselves. They
may act be bad feilovvs, and they might
be doing a great many worse tilings
than “bangin’ ’round.”
So they might do a great many better
tilings. You will sometimes hear these
chaps complaining that there are no
chances for young men in these days;
nothing bat hard work aud poor pay.
' mp: ;
Perhaps they will argue as earnestly as
half-asleep men can, that 8 hours out
ol the 24 is enough for any man to
vvoik. But what would they do with
two more spare hours il they had them.
Nothing but hang ’round, get in ihe
way, and grow more stupid daily.—
They have now four or five hours
every day which they might put to
better use. Two or three hours given
to intelligent reading or study upon
subjects connected with their occupa
tions would soon fit them to take prorn
iiuntand better paying positions. How
many of them are familiar wdth the first
principles of philosophy, of mechanics,
of chemistry, connected with their own
trades? It would not lake much lime
or any exhausting amount of mental
I labor to subjects, and how
greatly would such knowledge increase
their power and their satisfaction in
whatever hmdicrafi they perform. —
The American working!) ai, in any
department of industry^should not be
content without a thorough knowledge
of the various sciences connected with
his own trade, and when he has
achieved this much, he will find that
he has cultivated a taste for knowledge
which will lead him to explore other
and higher fields: and he will gain time
and opportunity for it, howsver ddig
gent he is in Ins daily business.
“Hanging ’round, is poor business
anywhere; it don’t pay; it is least of
all excusable in the city or town, where
the pebiic library oiler access to the
collected wi- dom of the world at a
nominal price, w here competent teach
j eis may be found in almost every
[branch of science and a*t. and where
;no young man who is ambitious to
| excel can fad from lack of means and
opportunities. These to whom se
dentary occupation m- kes cheerful ex
ercise a necessity, have their choice of
boat and ball, riding, walking, and
dancing, and there is no necessity 'hat
they slwmld let their blood grow stag
nant by “hanging ’round.” Indeed it is
dull sport auv way Stupid, useless,
disgusting, little short of disgraceful.
A young man had better sleep fourteen
hours every day if fie cannot find a
better use for his leisure than “hangisi’
’round.”
Manufacturers 1n the South!
Georgia, while she shows a dispo
sition to withdraw from politics, and
let Congress and their Bregadiers work
(heir will of htr, has turned her atten
tion in good earnest to the develope
ment of her domestic resources, partic
ularly in the way of manufacturing.—
Columbus and Augusta are In-th fast
becoming great manufacturing centres ;
and it is a curious fact the'colton and
paper mills of these, as well as some
other places in the South, are turning
out better and cheaper goods than
their rivals in the North. The balance
of trade has actually been turned, and
cotton goods and printing paper are be
ing daily shipped to the North. f3ni
what is more astonishing still, our
Southern merchants'and printers, in
stead of purchasing these articles from
the Southern ifniniltaclurers wait until
they are shipped to the North, and then
go and purchase them of the Northern
jobbers at an increased price, paying
besides profits, two transportations and
and insurances. We give below an
interesting article from the Columbus,
Ga., Enquirer, showing the existence
of his extraordinary state ot trade ;
“VVe have im several occasions, ad
verted to the difficulty which South
ern manufacturers encounter in intro
ducing all home goons superior to
those whicli our merchants buy at as
Higher prices from Northern jobbers.—■
The fact that the cotton goods ot the
Augusta, Ga., nulls are largely sold at
the North, and perhaps some of them
sent back after paving a profit to the
Northern jobber, for con. umplion at
the South,* affords an illustration in
point. Whether this curious c>urse
of trade is attributable to the neglect of
the -Southern mnnufacturers to make
extensively known their capability of
filling the orders tlv t may be sent to
them, as well as ihe prices, so that a
comparison may be made between
theirs and Northern goods, or whether
it is due to the indifference of Southern
merchants or customers, it is not our
purpose now i > inquire. The fact that
out home manufactures are primarily
neglected at the South, while 'ln .r r*ad
v sale elsewhere attests both (heir mer
it and their cht apuess, U one to which
the attention and all parties—manufac
turers, nuirhanis and consumers
should be directed with u view of put
ling a stop to a practice s > disconrage
ing to limne industry and enterprise.
! and so obstructive to the progress and
I prosperity ci our p< nple.
The Richmond SHiuhtrn Opinion
S says ; -*lt is a fact, that can be e-tab*
limited, that manufacturers in North
Carolina have shipped paper io the
North, that it has been brought there
by Southern men under the impres
sion that it was of Northern manufacture
and reshipped to the South and sold at
a paying advance upon the price at
winch it was originally held in North
Carolina.

corn crop will he raised this year in
