ednesday last, lie entered her bus
iness house and stabbed her to the
heart, death instantly ensuing. She
was suing for a divorce on account of
his cruel treatment, and this piobably
was the cause ot the inhuman act.
Southern Pensions.— The House
Judiciary Committee have agreed to a
bill repealing all laws which prevent
pensioners in the South from obtain
ing the moneys due their, from the
government. Under existing laws,
persons borne on the rolls of the pen
sion office previous to the rebellion,
have been debarred from payment
when it was apparent that they sym
pathized with rebellion.
The Athens Watchman says : We
regret to learn that “rust” has made
its appearance in several neighbor
hoods in the lo ver part of the county
It is said to be only in spots now,
but it sometimes spreads very rapid
ly.
There arc many theories as to the
cause of rust, but none of them ap
p ar to be altogether satisfactory.—
One fact, we believe, is generally con
ceded, and that is, that it is more gen
eral.during wet than dry seasons. This
would seem to indicate that it is
produced by a supei-.ibund.tuce of
moisture.
Col. 110 ward am* Direct Trade— We
aislkcd Col. Howard yesterday, if be
believed in “Direct Trade.”
"Direct Trade.” Of course I do.
r I he sort of ditrect trade I believe in
though, is this : Let a farmer put his
truck on bis wagon, hitch up bis steers
get his double-barrel shot gun, crawl
on top of the load, and strike off di
rect for the nearest cross road’s store.
When he gets there let him sell his
truck, buy what plunder he wants,
and go home and go to work. Build
up your neighborhood with your
trade !
A Negro Revival.— There is a
revival among the colored Methodists
of Danville, Va. At all hours of the
day and night they can be heard
shouting, cither at their private houses
or on the streets. A female enthusiast
named Price stripped herself of all
but one article of clothing, walked
the house-top and sat on the chimney.
One negro woman said she had been
to hell and saw Spy Ross there, an
other had been to heaven and saw the
Savior smoking a golden pipe. There
is a similar frenzy in Petersbug,
where the white citizens in some
neighborhoods cannot sleep on ac
count of the continual shouting.
Civil Rights Bill.
On last Saturday the telegraph
•wires brought the woeful intelligence
to the South, that the Civil Rights
Bill had passed the Senate of the Uni
ted States Congress, The 14th and
35th aiuendincnU were harsh enough,
-but should this infamous bill-become a
-law, the South will be afflicted with
greater troubles than she lias experi
•enced since the establishment of this
Republic. The bill proposes mixed
sclaols, negroes in ti e sleeping cars,
in the theatre, churches, hotels, every
where, and under all circumstances.
Hopes, however, are entertained
that it will not corne up before the
House this session, as Congress will
adjourn the last of Juno, and there is
much other business first in order. If
such is the case, we never expect to
ee the bid pass another Congress, as
there has been something of a revolu
tion in politics since bust election.
“PATENT OUTSIDES.”
Is the System Dishonorable ?
It is an old maxim of which time has
demonstrated the truth and wisdom,
that “a house divided against itself
cannot stand.” Perhaps no man, or
set of men, can more readily appreci
ate this honor, than those gentlemen
who have the truth to occupy the re
sponsible position ot shaping public
opinion and educating the popular
mind upon all questions of interest to
the enlightened people of the xixth cen
tury. While it is true, that political
partisanship and sectional prejudice
rule the hour, it does not, detract from
the great truth, that upon the shoul
ders of the press oi the United States,
| rests an sponsibiliy, not only to them
selves and the people of to-day, but
to corning generations, for the way
and manner in which they discharge
their duty as the educators of public
opinion. “Train up a child in the way
e should go, and when he is old, he
will not depart from it,” and if the ris
ing generation is brought up to ignore
sectional strife and party hatred, and
base their actions upon the broad
platform of civil, political and religious
liLertv, then the future destiny of our
country is a bright one, and the hopes
and dreams of our forefathers will be
realized. On the other hand, “as the
twig is bent, so the tree is inclined,”
and if the journals of the United States
array themselves upon opposite sides
of the bloody chasm, opened by red
handed war and educate the rising
generation to distrust and fear each
other by fanning the flames of hate and
prejudice, they will ouly reap what
they have sown, when their posterity
is plunged in a civil revolution, with
all the attendant honors of the one
from which we have just emerged.
Here then is a common enemy, the en
emy ol hatred, strife and dissention,
against which it is the duty of the
press, and the press of the nation, as
“the bulwark of liberty” to array itself
and crush out in its inclpency. Are we
doing this or are we dissenting, and
bickering among ourselves, thus virtu
ally destroying ourinfluence for good,
and arraying ourselves upon the side
of the enemy ? This question we do
not propose to debate the facts are
patent, and if we fall short of our duty
our posterity will heap upon our heads
the malediction which our treasonable
conduct so well deserves—but to the
point. Whatever is true of the Na
tional Press, as a whole, is true of the
Southern Press as a part ol that body,
and whatever is true of both, is equal
ly applicable to the Press of the State
of Georgia to-day. “Brerhrcn, let us
come and reason together.” Have we
no interest in the generation, who du.*
ing another century, will people our
noble old State ? Have we no desire
to leave them a legacy of civil, relig
ious and political liberty ? Is there
no enemy for us to combat, no wounds
for us to heal, or tear of sorrow that
we may wipe away, that wc careless
of all these should take up our time,
precious time as it is, and fritter away
our talents, humble though they may
be, in petty strifes and dissensions
among ourseives, instead of rising su
perior above, and beyond the peurile
jealousies of local competition, and
strive to do our duty, and do that well,
of educating our people up to the
mighty changes of the past decade.
Now if the Prsss of the State of Geor
gia can form an association upon these
broad principles, united as a brother
erbood to perform this noble work, “in
union there is strength,” and their ob
ject will be accomplished. But, breth
ren, when you bring into your body,
damaging dis Jriminations against a
part of your members, you touch their
pride, array them against ynu, and
weaken your influence for good, just
in proportion as your discrimination is
enforced. This is a land of liberty, it
is the right of every one to conduct his
business as seems to his interest, and
when you attempt to abridge this lib
erty,you infringe one of the very rights
of magna charta itself. The principle
is fully illustrated in the pristine forma
tion and present status of the govern
ment under which we live. While the
states confederated and united as a
whole against the common enemy, yet
each state had its separate rights
guaranteed by the Constitution to
manage its own local affairs, financial
and commercial, as seemed to them
meet and proper. So with the Georgia
Press Assoel ition ; wc combine
against the common enemy, we dele
gate to the association as a body the
right to prescribe certain general rub s
for the government of tlie union, but
reserve to ourselves the individual
management of our individual affairs.
There is no dishonor in doing that
which we are of right entitled to d-,
and unless we transgress a legal law,
we arc no offenders. But it is contend
ed that it is inimical to the interest
of the Press at large or as a whole.—
Be this, as it may, while vve fight the
country’s battles, attempt to till our
mission, the wants of the creature
must be supplied, and it is a duty to
oulselves and those dependent upon
us, to secure for our labor all that the
business will legitimately pay and a
generous public accord. Here comes
in competition, this is inimical to
the Prces as a whole, it is inimical to
borne manufacturers that our clothing
and ood are bought in a foreign mar
ket, still vve cannot legislate away the
right of the people to purchase where
they please, and so long as the people
are pleased with it, it is equally useles
for the G. P. A. to attempt to ostracise
and crush out ot existence the system
of “Patent Outsides.”
\\ e reason thus in no unkind spirit,
but hoping that the day is not far dis
tant when the G. P A. not only those
now on its rolls, but the whole Press
will rise above petty prejudice, the
fear of competition from any quarter,
lay down bickering, strife and discrim
ination, and let us all put our shoulder
to the wheel of knowledge, roll it over
the neck of ignorance and superstition
and triumphantly march onvVard, and
upward in the path of duty, discharg
ing the high and noble mission, with
which we have been entrusted by our
countrymen.

RALPH ESTELLE,
A ROMANCE OF THE LATE WAR.
CHAPTER 111.
In consequence of the hostile atti
tude of the Federal forces out in wes
tern Virginia, the command to which
Ralph was attached, was ordered in
that direction, under the immediate
aupices of Gen. Robt. E. Lee, then
stationed on the summit of “Cotton
Mountain,” wh eh overlooked the great
Kenawah Valley. During that memo
rable campaign, numerous little inci
dents occurred, which pointed out
Ralph Estelle as one who would mal e
himself heard in the event an opportu
nity presented itself, but nothing of
special interest, by reason that there
Was but little fighting done, happened
to attract any unusual attention to
our hero. In the course of two or
three months, the authorities at Rich
mond deemed it advisable to abandon
that portion of the Confederacy, and
the army was withdrawn and ordered
to report back to Richmond, from
thence to the “Army of Tennessee,”
then in command of Gen. A.S. Johnson
Through all the trying ordeals of the
series of campaigns and myriads of
encounters of that army, Ralph ac
quitted himself handsomely in each
and every one, but by reason of his
youth, he had not as yet risen to a
high office than that of an orderly sar
gi ant, in lact, he seemed not to aspire
to anything, other than the duties as
signed him with promptness and with
a hearty goed will, and even as late
as the battle of Chickamauga, we find
him still a snrgcnnt only. It will be
remembered by all who are familiar
with that terrible and bloody contrast
between two of the largest armies
which hail ever collided during the
entire conflict, that it was a master
piece of generalship on the part ot
Gen. Bragg, and coupled with the
daring and gallantry of his forces, he
achieved the most important victory of
the war. Among the troops on the
left wing who immortalized themselves
the name of the 4th Louisiana battal
lion stood most conspicuous, and
among the individuals in that battal
lion, the name of Ralph Estelle loomed
up above them all for daring , heroic
intrepedity. During the fearful con
flict when the dense smoke shielded
tiie enemy from ruin ; the officers in
command of the company to which
Ralph belonged, were all either wound
ed or killed, and in this terrible con
tusion, amid the roar of cannon which
made the very earth tremble, and in
the midst of musketry, long continued
musketry, such as was scaicely ever
heard before, and musketry beyond all
description, Ralph’s quick eye took
in the whole situation, and just as his
comrades begun to waver, and the or
der to charge bayonets ! was w 7 afted
0 him by the passing breeze, he cal’,
ed out in his youthful, but stentorian
voice—Louisiana, stand firm ! Remem
ber teho you are! the day is ours, and
with this, the line began to move in
“double quick,” and with it, Ralph’s
company with a yell so characteristic
among the troops from that State,
plunged into the heaviest of the iron
and leaden hail, dealing death and de
struction on every hand, gaining
ground inch by inch, until by some
means it was discovereu that a regi
ment of federal cavalry had been in a
manner cut off from the main body of
their forces, and that they were par
tially over the line. Ralph saw them,
and fearing that they were a flanking
party, determined at once upon their
capture en route, and giving the com
mand, “left half wheel,” without or
ders from any one, and Boon as the
motion was perfected, a gallant charge
was made, and after a desperate
struggle, the federal commander sur
rendered. About the time this won
derful feat was performed, one of Gen.
Bragg’s staff officers happened to w.t
ness the struggle and realizing the
importance ol the result, watched with
agerness its termination, he too, be
lieving them to be a flanking part}’,
and when it culminated in success to
the little band, so insignificant in num
bers, the staff officer galloped up and
enquired who was in command of that
company hi and what troops they were,
when he was answered that they were
Louisianans, and commanded by Sar
geant Estelle. The officer was seen
to take a strip of paper from his pock
et and write something hurriedly with
a pencil, and wheeled off to some other
part of the line. Ralph divided his
little company in two equal parts, and
turning the prisoners over to one,
while he took the other, and at a
double quick, resumed his former posi
tion in the main line, but just as he
had taken that position and had begun
to issue his commands, a shell from
the enemy exploded near by, and the
gallant Ralph was badly wounded in
the head ; some of the brave boys at
tempted to stop in order to give him
with a motion of the
hand, lie bid them go on. The result
if that struggle is known, and almost
every one is familiar with the fact ;
that it was a glorious success for the
Confederate armies, but at a cost
which shrouded myraids of households
in gloom, sorrow and mouning. Ralph,
together with man} 7 other wounded,
was sent to Gatewood for treatment,
and it is under the above described
circumstances that Nannie Lee first
saw and knew him
On the evening referred to, when
Nannie and Stella announced their de
termination to have Ralph carried out
to their home, if such a thing was
possible. Nannie gave a description
of the wounded soldier to her parents,
spoke of him as being so young,
so far from home and in a very
pathetic manner, appealed to her
father and mother to have him
brought out home, and Stella join
ed in with all the influence she could
bring to bear, assuring them that one
soldier in the house would be no trou
ble, and that she would willingly give
up going to school until his recovery
to nurse him. It was agreed that the
soldier should come out, and on the
following morning, Mr. Lee went to
the hospital with his daughters to per
feet arrangements with the surgeon
looking to that end. By reason of the
severe nature of the wound and the
danger incidental to *he removal, ii
was deemed unadvisable under the
circumstances, and for the nex-t thro?
weeks, the hemic and brave Nannie
was almost a constant watcher at tin
bed side of her protege’, after which
time he was so far improved, as to
warrant the removal out to her home.
Long and tedious were the days and
nights of the monatorions nursing and
care taking, but at last, the “green
cved monster” was driven off and the
J
pallid, emaciated Ralph began to iou
valesce. One morning, amost three
weeks after he had commenced sitting
np, with the aid of pillows for a sup
port, and as Nannie had just finished
dressing his wound—Ralph looked her
full in the face, saying, Miss Nannie,
“how can I ever repay you for your
kindness to me ? I have no language
to express my gratitude; I can employ
no words which will any degree, con
vey to you my meaning, when I say,
thank you. I have a dear old mother
at home whose heart I know is at this
moment almost broken, feeling assur
ed as she does, I am dead, but when
I recover, and acquaint her of my nar
row escape from death, and to whom
I owe that escape, I feel assured that
a love such as she is capable of be
stowing and which will be showered
upon you in lavish proportion, added
to an affection, such as but few men
ever feel, an affection which eminates
from a pure fountain, filled with all the
purity and enthusiasm of a warm and
manly heart, will suffice as a recom
pense, then indeed you have your re
ward, and while upon this subject, 1
will say to you, that no lime, no cir
cumstances, can ever heal the wound
implanted by your kindness to me,
and as you have proven such a profi
cient nurse fora w >und in the head, wili
you not now undertake the cure of this
new malady, a disease of the heart? In
consequence ol so much association
with him, his extreme youth and other
reasons, almost unaccountable to her.
Nannie had long since learned to call
him Ralph, and indeed to address him
m an\ other manner, would have seem
ed stiange to her, and in answer to
what lie had said, she replied, “you
are no doubt referring to a subject,
Ralph, which you do not understand
m your present feeble condition, and
a time may come when you w ;n rc .
grot having given utterance to such
overtures, and uidm all tie circum
stances, 1 think it best for the sub
ject not to be discussed further at
present, but wait until V on a
1 . .’ uulu y°u are more
rational, when I promise to answer all
your questions with frankness ami
candor,” and turning, she left the
room.

THURSDAY. MAY 28, 1874.
Mr. Wed incamp, a respectable
looking young man, we believe, of
Tattnall County, has opened a store
at this place. We wish him great
success ; but are not by any means
willing for him to iced any of our
young ladies.
Mr. George llearndon, a few days
since, slanghteied five deer at one
shot with a double barrel gun.—
Four of them, however, were fawns,
and the children of their mother, which
was among the number slain.
We notice a great many of what
we call ‘•buckle” berries out on the
suburbs of this town When they
ripen a little better, we contemplate
despatching for the Eastman Times
and its editors to come down and par
ticipate a little with us, providing,
they promise not to indulge too hiavi
•y-
Our good old iriend, George, char
acterized for his liberality, has kindly
taken mercy on the citizens of Baxley,
and has purchased a band of music,
among which may be mentioned a vio
lin, of which George thinks a great
deal. To everybody who visits him,
he is ever ready to remark, “say, iiow
do you like my fiddle ?”
Judge A. R. Byrd, the ex-ordinary
of this county, has taken charge of
the school at this place. Knowing
the Judge as we do, to be a man pos
sessed of many accomplishments and
fully capable of discharging his duties
as teacher, feel no fear in recommend
ing him to the public.
Mr. A. P. Surrency has kindly do
nated to the church one lot of land in
this place We hope soon to sec a
nice edifice erected thereon. This
would add much to the appearance of
our village. There is no excuse to
offer now, as in the days of yore.
Lumber is no scarcity and carpenters
are plentiful.
Col. Gentry, trie efficient represen
tative of the Morning News, is now in
town, lie wears a stove pipe hat, a
shoo fly coat, and is a candidate for
Congress,. The Col. is extremely
clever, and knows everybody and
everybody knows him. The ladies
of this burg have been heard to re
mark, “ere the lanse of many years
that same parson. Gunny, (tor parson
they call him) will make his mark in
this little world.”
We learn the theatrical performan
ces at Jesnp, tickled the people al
most to death ; especially bi other
Haynes, the graceful editor of the Geor
gian. George is a clever fellow, we de
clare, but we sec no use in man laugh
ing at one thing a 1 ways. George has
been laughing without much Cessation
ever since he witnessed the third scene
of the second piece.
Tie Opportunities.
Dear Times: Thousands of promis
ing minds, willing hands and hearts,
are waiting within the limits of the
home circle for an “opportunity.” The
depths of paternal wisdom are put to
the test when called upon to decide or
map the future of a much-loved son ;
the counsel of friends is often solicited
and ideal hopes raised as to the possi
ble realization of supposed and proba
ble faculties in use. We ask the in
dulgence of this waiting circle : The
common familiar scenes of your neigh
borhood, with all the enchantments for
the stranger’s eye, have lost the crea
tive power in the mind of your son—
’tis as the text book in the common
school, thumb-marked, defaced, and
now outgrown. Use the one or two
hundred dollars you are so faithfully
and frugally saving for his future use
now, in giving him that which time
but can improve, and not destroy nor
take from him ; a practical education.
The age demands it ; the wise parent
understands it. Let a young man’s
capital be self confidence, a general
knowledge of the world, and that ease
and courteous manliness which con
tact with strrngers alone can give.—
Two citizens were courting the daugh
ter of Tbemistocies ; one had money,
the other none but was educated and
worthy. Themistocles preferred the
worthy man. In giving his reasons
he says, “1 would rather she should
have a man without money than money
winhout a man/’ Make your sons men.
Give them the advantages which you
have so often regretted you could not
have had when you were young, and
your old age shall be made a joy and
comfort because of gratitude and love
from children made wise and happy.—
I hold every man a debtor to bis pro
fession, from which as men, of course,
do seek to receive countenance and
profit, so ought they of duty to en
deavor themselves, by way of amends,
to be a help and ornament thereunto.
Yours, &c.,

1 aiu a Baptist.
BY ELIAS B.
I am a little Baptist,
I love my church and school ;
I love my dear old baptist church,
I love her faith and rule.
I am not a little Catholic,
As soar e would have me to say
I r m not a little Romanist,
So call me what you may.
I love the blessed sacrament,
They are what Jesus gave ;
They are the biessed means of grace
My soul from siu to save.
I honor too—God’s own true priests
They act in Jesus’ stead—
When they baptize, absolve and bless,
And consecrate the bread.
Iu holy water, I was washed,
And cleansed from all my sin,
’Tw.os there the holy ghest came down,
My soul to dwell within.
Twas there I got the holy sign
The cross upon my brow,
God's mark upon my in fun t cheek.
Just as I sign it now.
But, oh ! alas, how often since,
I have fallen into sin,
Iu spite of all my Saviour’s love,
Who died my soul to win.
How should I get my sins forgiven,
How cleansed from every stain—
Baptismal purity brought back
My soul restored again.
First to confession I must go,
And tell out ad my shame
My list of sins all one, by one
Impenitence must name.
