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 *, ivlLutuxcf o4»i» Haticred Wliil 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. tds ' __ SAM L H. SVUTH and UOHT. P. MILaM EJiturs and Proprietor*. tarteiAville <.y. Aug. Id, iSti7 jißi—i ■■ini is KecoESfruciioa. 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. showing what a prodigious corn crop will he raised this year in Texas, the Tyler Reporter says : iwo weeks ago cere could not bp! bough: in this market for iess than $2 25 ; per bushel.
