How They Foil in Love.
They lu4 “grown up” together in
the full sense of the term—and that
was just the matter. They had eaten
each other’s mud pies, taken the croup
iu ench other's snow forts, tipped over
each other's ink bottler, sopped up the
ink with their mutual handkerchiefs,
“told” of each other in about equal
prop ortions, and “mad.* up” in a com
mon exuberance of sobs and sassafras.
They played at 1 >vcrs behind the wood
pile, been married by the prize-speaker,
been divorced by the “first base,” been

One Sunday it chanced that the

A Pigeon Commits Suicide. —lt has
' b'»en stated by a gentleman who owns
an extensive dove cot, that he witness
ed a deliberate act of self-destruction
perpetrated by one of his pigeons yes
terday. The bird had apparently been
brooding in sorrow for several days,
seeking solitary places, from which it
gazed into the sky uttering mournful
sounds. Iynally, its noble spirit, dis
daining its condition within a bird of
clay, began to look about for means of
self-destruction. At first, it commenc
ed pecking at a clothes-line, probably
contemplating suicide by strangulation;
but becoming impatient at the task of
serving the rope, it flow at its great
est rate of velocity against a high board
fence. On the first trial it was only
slightly stunned, and flying back to a
convenient distance, it made another
attempt with a similar result. It still
persisted iu its course of self-destruc
tion and at the fifth effort fell, fluttered
and in a few moments expired. It was
a female pigeon, and whether she w r as
prompted to the commission of the
rash act because of disappointed affec
tion or laboring under a fit of tempo
rary insanity, will probably forever re
main involved iu mystery.—San Fran

Our Amended Cliartei.
We publish, in another column, the
Bill, passed by the lastLegislatm‘o, and
recently signed by the Governor, to
amend the Charter of tho town of Car
tcrsvillo. Much opposition Ims been
expressed by some of our citizens, to
this bill, or, at least to some of its pro
visions, which, of course, wo could not
expoct to be otherwise. That it is ob
jcctionablo, in some of its features, is
an apparent fact, tho principal of
which wo think, is the taxing of lands
within tho incorporation held for
strictly agricultural purposes—we
think such lauds should be exempt
from taxation, or if taxed at all, it
should bo very lightly. Tho old Char
ter did not authorize the raising by
taxation, of a sufficient amount of
money to keep up the necessary public
improvements, tho new one, we feai,
if the full extent of the law is imposed
will become oppressive to our citizens.
We dont object so much to the limit
(hat the new Charter gives our Com
missioners, but to tho exercise of these
metes and bounds. The tax, wo think,
should bo assessed according to the
necessities of the case, and not accord
ing to the oxtent of the power given.
Let our Commissioners ascertain, as
nearly as possible, the amount of mon
ey that is actually necessary to be expen
ded in improving and keeping up the
improvements of the tewn, and assess
the taxes accordingly. We aro con
scious that tho Commissioners cannot
afford to consult every citizen’s views
on tho subject, or if they could, they
could not adopt all of them, and, there
fore, it must and should be left for
them to determine what is best to be
done, and do it, fearless of consequen
ces. Wo have'the confidence to believe
that our Commissioners aro prudent
men, and will not abuse the power
that is vested iu them by this law.—
Let every good, law-abiding citizen
make np his mind willingly to submit
to a reasonable tax, although it may
appear a little burdensome, rather than
let our streets and other improvements
be neglected and go to ruins. The
Commissioners are put in the position
they occupy for that purpose, and to
accomplish tho end aimed at they must
have means. We cannot reasonably
expect to live in a town and have the
protection and benefit of a municipal
government, and pay nothing for it.
If wo wish to see our town prosper
and build up, we must show some spir
it and pride in its public improvement' s ,
and if we cannot have everything ex
actly our owu way, let us consent to
havo them as others may think best,
unless ample cause can be shown to
the contrary.
Col. L. Tumli n s Plantation—W heat,
Clover, &c.— We had the pleasure of
riding over the plantation of, and in
company with, our esteemed friend
and neighbor, Col. Lewis Tnmlin, on
Saturday last, and viewing his mag
nificent Wheat and Clover crops, to
say nothing of his excellent coin, cot
ton, oats, stock, &c., &c., He has,
perhaps, one of the very best bodies of
land, in the State. It is bordered, on
the South, by the Etowah river for the
distance of three miles, and consequent
ly a largo proportion of it is river bot
tom. His tract embraces about 3,000
acres, upon which premises he has re
cently erected a splendid brick man
sion, which cost him about $20,000. —
It contains sixteen rooms, a colonade
extends nearly around the honse,
which building is conveniently arrang
ed throughout, and located in the
midst *of a beautiful Hickory Grove j
commanding an imposing view of Car
tersville, the W. & A. R R, Etowah
Liver and the lovely surrounding
mountains and valley. His residence
is just out of the corporate limits of
the town. Altogether it is one of the
most desirable places in Cherokee
G orgin.
Col. T. has about 500 acres in wheat,
50 acres of which is as fine as we ever
saw, and will produce, we think, from
30 to 40 bushels per acre, and the bal
ance will average from 12* to 15 bush
els per acre. His wheat was sowed
upon clover, pea, and com lands.—
That that was sowed upon clover
and pea lands will produce, at least, a
third more wheat to the acre than that
which was sowed upon com lands, al
though the soil is tho same. Where
bis clover lands join his corn lands,
the wheat is a foot higher, and one can
tell the very dividing furrow a hundred
yairls off One striking feature in his
wheat is its uniformity in height and
thickness. It is almost as even as the
surface of a pond of water, the most of
which we examined, contained three
grains to the mesh. From this exper
iment it is very apparent that either
clover or peas is the fertilizer for wheat
lands. The former, perhaps, is pref
erable. Ills clover is hard to beat and
fully demonstrates the fact that it can
boas successfully raised on Cherokee
Georgia lands as on Kentucky or Ohio
lands. We saw some clover that we
are satisfied will make from to 3
tons per acre, which Crop Col. Tomlin
is now busily engaged in harvesting.
His Stock all look fat and sleek, and
his dairy abounds with butter and milk.
We never spent a half day more
pleasantly, enjoying, as wo did, tho
hospitalities of his board and tho as
sociation of himself, family, and a few
young friends, who had likewiso given
him a passing call.
Wo returned home, iu tho evening
more fully impressed with the fact,
than ever before, that ours is emphat
ically a great country.

Communicated.
REV. HENRY WARD BEECHER, BROOKLYN.
Sir: I have just read your letter of
tho 17th April, 1869, relating to tho
charges in circulation against you of
having carried away from Charleston,
in 18G5 the records of St. Micheal’s
Church, etc., in which you say that
you took “nothing away but a "heavy
heart, that a city of your own coun
try should be so utterly destroyed by
war.” Again, you say that you be
thiuk yourself—you brought away an
old family Bible, which had been sav
ed from a burning house on some
plantation, aud presented to you by an
officer of a colored regiment, all the
facts connected with which you enter
ed on the fly-leaf, thinking that after
peaco came the family might perhaps
be happy to regain tins memorable old
book, printed in 1079, etc.
Now, my dear sir, the confession
that you loft Charleston with a heavy
heart because of its utter desolation by
war comes with a bad graco from one
who, while he could have done much
to have averted the ravages of war, did
all he could to precipitate and aggra
vate it with all its horrors, by desecra
ting the pulpit in which you officiated
by a tirade of abuse every Sabbath
against tho South, and instead of ex
tending tho olivo branch of peace, you
were calling for the rifle and the sword
to be used in tho most ferocious man
ner against those for whom you now
possess sympathy. But the Bible—
that book from which you pretend to
speak words of consolation, peace and
rectitude to a dying world, you secret
ly receive as a present from a negro,
knowing at the same time that it did
not belong to him or yourself, that it
was stolen property, and that you had
no more right, legally or morally to
take and hold it as your owu than you
had to have availed yourself of the
darkness of the night and gone into
tho house of your unsuspecting victim
and feloniously taken and carried it
away.
Again, you say, that after peace
came, this family (to whom it belong
ed) might perhaps be happy to regain
this venerable old book, printed in 16-
79. Did you ever make an effort to
make that family happy by informing
any member of it, through your press
or otherwise, that you had it, and was
ready to restore it ? Did you ever use
any means to enable them to regain
it ? No, your own letter carries a de
nial of that fact on its face, and the
first awakening influence that struck
your dvivinity was the damning report
that was whispered into your ears by
your friend, that charges were made
against you—that you had seized and
made off with said book. And it was
only to relieve yourself from the odi
um of the charge of theft or robbery,
that your moral sense became aroused
to action. In the same way, the thief,
when tracked to his den with stolen
property, gives it up, when conceal
ment is no longer profitable.
This valuable and highly cherished
old family relic, that had been preser
ved for two centuries, and handed down
from sire to son for ten generations,
was seized and carried away by your
self, under tho power of the bayonet,
pointed against a conquered and pow
erless people, who were not permitted
to claim the most sacred heir-loom
when in the possession of a negro or
Yankee preacher. Had you stolen a
deck of cards under the same circum
stances, there might have been some
excuse, but when you put your hand
upon that sacred book, and conceived
the thought of self-appropriation, you
should have thought of the late Anna
nias aud Sapphlra, for you were guilty
of an offense in the sight of Heaven
more henious and offensive, for they
were ignorant, and lied to save what
they conceived to be their own, while
you feloniously took and concealed
God s Holy Book and ordinances, which
says, in burning words, “Thou shalt
not steal”
Keep the book and read it. Per
haps you may, while examining it for
curiosity, be directed by the all-seeing
eye to some paragraph w hich has stood
as a beacon to the erring for two hun
dred years, and may lead you from
the shoi'es and quicksands to which
you are hastening with railroad speed.
And if reformation be possible, you
may at least become acquainted with
the commandment which says, thou
shalt not steal: thou shaltnot covet.
Keep the book, and when you die,
leave it as a legacy to your children.—
Doubtless if they are proper represen
tatives of the father, they will cherish
it as a treasure gained in the same
manner, and under circumstaaces sim
ilar to most of which they will receive
as an inheritance.

ROME.
The stagnation which this season of
the yeai, has inflicted upon this enter- (
prising city, has not made itself felt!
within the walls of its Female Collegi- '
ate Institute. Retired within its own
beautiful precincts, among the South
western suburbs of the city, it seems
not less exposed to the action of a
most rigorous outward life, than to the
refined and classic influences of the
scenery which surrounds it. A large
mansion, occupying the centre of four
acres of lawn, shrubbery, orchard and
shade trees, it presents a most inviting
aspect, which is enhanced by the large
roomy apartments and studied refine
ment if not elegance with w'hich the pu
pils are surrounded.
The old Cherokee College
has certainly fallen into good hands.
The Rev. 11. D. Smith and Alias C. A.
Ilansell w ith their efficient corps of six
accomplished instructors, form a Board
of Teachers which, for ability and ex
perience, aro not to bo equaled iu the
State.
The present collegiate term will close
Juno 25th, but will reopen the second
week in August with an attendance it
is estimated of about one hundred and
fifty Students, and with added advan
tages of furniture and apparatus.—
Prof. Milligan’s Institute is to be merg
ed with this College, and that gentle
man will take the Professorship of
M athematics.
Mr. Smith opened here Feburary Bth
18G9, with an attendance of forty Stu
dents. Every ono of whom he retains.
His own and Aliss Hansell’s reputation
ns teachers warrant the best of support
and of expectations. Tho curriculum
of studies is of a high grade.
CARTE RSYILLE.
Professors Johnson and Pritchett,
are teaching an excellent Male and Fe
male Academy here, which, with the
improvements, they design making this
summer, will reopen next term under
tho beat of auspicies. The Institution
is just inchoating, being but one year
old, but it has already twenty-six pu
pils, who are in the classics, some of
them reading Horaco and Virgil, with
a registered list of over one hundred.
Its commencement occurs on the
24th of Juno, when Judge Loehrane,
of Atlanta is expected to deliver the
address.
Now that this thriving village is
about to lose the valuable services of
Miss Hansell, (whom it has made every
effort to retain,) perhaps there is no
one who can so well fill her place as
Miss Davis, who has a thoroughly con
ducted select school, a scientific meth
od and a careful preparation which
fit her for the most advanced position.
KINGSTON
has" a most self-denying and . thorough

Southern Historical Society.
There was a meeting last evening in
the rooms of the Howard Association,
on Camp street, of gentlemen who
were prominently identified with the
the cause of the South in the late war,
both in civil and military capacities.—
: The object of the meeting was to or
' ganizo a permanent Society for the
1 purp° se of collecting and preserving
the records and memoranda of the
Confederacy. As yet there has been
no full and comprehensive history of
the war from a Southern stand point,
and from the very nature of things,
such a history cannot be written for
years to come. Hence the necessity
for the organization of a Society which
shall be a rcpositoiy of those facts con
cerning the great struggle, some of
which now live in print, but by far the
larger proportion of which are unwrit
ten history, recorded in the memories
of such men as Lee, Jefferson Davis,
Johnston, Beauregard, Breckinridge.
General Cooper, Bragg, Maury, Toombs
Benjamin, Mallory, Hood, Wigfall,
Judge Campbell and a host of others,
who from their position were cognizant
of the interior workings of the Govern
ment, of which the outside world could
obtain but a superficial and necessarily
imperfect view. The North and South,
both, have had their would be histori
ans, who, from hasty and incorrect da
ta, have given to the world what they
called histories of the war, but which
are really crude volumes, in every page
of which is evinced their partisan char
acter.
Tho Southern Historical Society will
endeavor to collect only such data as
is perfectly reliable and correct, of the
workings of the Confederate Govern
ment, campaigns, battles, sieges and
exploits of any character; and they in
vite communications from all those
who may bo cognizant of interesting
details and facts, or who may be in
possession of any valuable papers and
documents collected during or since
the war. The Society will extend
throughout the Southern States, and
Vice Presidents will be appointed in
each State.
Rev. Dr. P. F. Palmer is President
of the Society, and Gen. Braxton
Bragg is Vice President. Gen. R. E.
Lee is Vice President in Virginia, Gen.
Jno. C. Breckinridge in Kentucky,
Hon. Alexander H. Stephens in Geor
gia, Ex-Gov. Isham G. Harris in Ten
nessee, etc., etc.
Those who may forward contrabu
tions to the Society are requested to
simply state facts, without comment
thereon, as the idea is to compile sta
tistics from which, in the future, histo
ry may be written.
The movement is one which must
receive the endorsement of all right
minded men, as it emanates from a
desire which exists in the hearts of all
true Southern men that their actions
and motives may be handed down to
posterity, divested of the clouds by
which ignorance and misrepresentation
have obscured them.

and more especially with such little ef
fect; but we do think that, inasmuch
as there aro no soldiers’ gravo yard
in our immediate borders to be cared
for, we certainly ought to respect the
bones and dust of our loved dead
enough to keep their graves from ex
tinction. Propositions have been
made, both by males and females, to
fix up our grave yards, to neither of
which have we had the pleasure of
publishing a response. If a sense .of
pride and respect will not prompt
us to this deed of humanity, we
are at a loss to know what will.
Soda.—
I'm Captain Jinks of the Ilorso Marines
I buy my icctl soda, and bave tho means
To treat, the girls though in their teens;
And I have treated at least a little army-
Yes, and if ladies and gentlemen de
sire to know where to find the most
delicious soda, and to be attended on
by pleasant gentlemen, we would ad
vise them to call at J. T. Guthrie’s.—
You may paint tho lil!y and gild the re
fined gold if you will, but it would be
an impossible task to add to the excel
lence of the soda of J. T. Guthrie.
Mr. Guthrie keeps Ice Cream on
hand from 12 o’clock m, until G p. m-
It useless for us to say that it is good, for
that word does not express it, and
if there is one in Webster’s vocabulary
that will, we haven’t been able to find
it. Although we flatter ourself that
we are a good judge of anything to eat
or drink, wo do not desire that our
word be taken in reference to the ex
cellence of Guthrie’s Ice Cream; but
go without fail and try a plate of it, and
judge for yourselves, is our advice.—
The Arctic Soda Fount aud Ice Cream
Saloon of Mr. J. T. Guthrie have be
come a sine qua non with the "Express
Crew,” as well as the citizens generally
of our pleasant little town.
