that the negroes bad all left the house, and it Is

A Day in the Country.— On last Saturday
evening, that clever firm of Messrs. Greer A
Gresharn furnished us one of their splendid turn
outs for a jaunt in the country. A short dis
tance from town we saw a beautiful and luxuriant
field of wheat on the plantation of Maj. Napier.
There is about twelve acres of this wheat which
will average quite two feet in height, and will
yield. If not damaged, probably from two hundred
and fifty to three hundred bushels. The fresh
air, free from the musty smell of town, blew
refreshingly, aud produced feelings o! exhillara
tion and pleasure. The farms bore signs of the
plow-share, and gave evidence of universal thrift
and industry.
We halted at a nice comfortable farm-house
nestled in the depths of a magnificent and stately
grove of oaks, and surrounded by beam if u! fields,
bearing upon their bosoms evidences of frugal
husbandry. What a delightful and satisfying
pleasure, removed from the cares of business, to
spend a quiet, lovely day, under the roof of a
family, where happiness aid contentment sits
entlnoned upon every brow, where genuine rural
hospitality is cordially extended, where modern
conventionalities and fashionable stiffness is ig
nored. This we enjoyed, and recommend to
those of our readers who are wearied with their
labors, that a day spent in the country, will in
duce feelings of unusual pleasure aud relief.
A Splendid Stock.— We had the pleasure of
examining the handsome stock of dry goods at

mdiior Advertiser: In your last issue a corres
pondent under the non d< plume of “ Brantley's
Diatriet,” call* lor an expression ol opinion on
the question of Fence or No S- bkce. Now 6ir,
the writer hereof has bat seldom in his life ap
peared in the capacity of a correspondent, and D, !
cous-qaently, uot very bright in rhetoric or
Grammar ; you will therefore confer a great favor
by correcting 1! mistakes in spelling or pronun
ciation if you should conclude to publish this
communication.
Your correspondent thinks that if the citizens ‘
of Monroe county were to adopt the law of No !
Fence, that the results would be so beneficial in a I
few years that no one would regret the act.
We beg leave to take issue upon this question,
and to sustain our position we assign the follow
ing reasons: In the first place, we don’t care
much about Mr. Brantley’s District acting in this
matter until the different portions of the county
Is beard from; secondly, the law is almost Im
practicable when applied to this county, for the
reason that there is not sufficient woodland on
nine out of ten farms to keep up lencing to con
fine the stock. But suppose, for the sake of the
argument, there is sufficient limber on every farm,
by economical use, to fence in each (arm, the next
question is. Where and how can you control labor
to do the work * If you are tortucate enough to
secure the labor, what Will It cost * Will the
benefits derived from fencing the animals belong
ing to each owner of a farm remunerate him di
rectly or indirectly, for the actual expenditure ot
money in building and repairing the fencts t There
can be but one correct answer to these questions,
and that is, No. Then pray, cui bona? Thirdly,
we remark that this legislation is for the benefit
of the wealthier classes; to sustain this declara
tion we call your attention to au amendment of
fered to this law during the last session of the
Legislature, which absolutely forbid any one from
voting upon its adoption save land-holder*. What
did that mean ? In that movement, there lurked
not only class legislation, but the first step to
wards establishing in this country a landed aris
tocracy; and had it passed the indignant condem
nation of the honest yeomanry of Georgia would
have broke forth like the muttering of an ava
ianche, and the results would have been as disas
trous to those who supported the bill as the
destruction caused by an avalanche. Again, the
results of this law as applied to small farmers
would be appalling. Suppose my horse accident
ally or by conuivance gets into my wealthy neigh
bor’s corn field and destroys twenty dollars worth
of corn ; I have no mouey to pay the damages,
what is the result ? 1 must execute a lien for the
damages in an amount sufficient to pay him what
I give for corn in Forsyth “on time.” This is
one illustration out of many that rash to the mind.
It will be no answer to 6ay, that there Is a comity
between fanners, founded in the golden rule of
“ love your neighbor as yourself;” that rule is
almost obsolete now, and whilst there may be ex
ceptional cases it is not practiced to any alarming
extent at this juncture of affairs.
It is understood that the law only continues two
years from its passage, without reaffirmance by a
majority of the voters of the couuty. Suppose the
law was adopted and at the end of the time it was
defeated, here would be an expenditure of labor,
money and time that would be entirely lost, and
that would probably take years to replace. This
is a grave question and one that should be well
considered and not hastily acted upon. 11 how
ever, a majority of the white voters of the county
are in favor of the lav-, we feel it our duty to sub
mit. But those who are opposed to the adoprion
of the law will be heard at the ballot box.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
llai.f Alive. —It is a saddling to pass
through life only half a live. Yet there are thou
sands whose habitual condition is one of languor
and debility. They complain of no specific dis
ease; they suffer no positive pain ; but they have
no relish for anything which t fiords mental or
sensuous pleasure to their more robust and ener
getic fellow-beings.
In nine cases out of ten this state of lassitude
and torpor arises arises from a morbid stomach.
Indigestion destroys the energy of both mind and
body. When the waste of nature is not supplied
by a due and regular ass’mulation of the food,
every organ is starved, every function interrupt
ed.
No, what does common sense suggest under
these circumstances of depression ? The system
needs rousing and strengthening; not merely for
an hour or two, to sink afterwards imo more pit
iable condition than ever (as it most assuredly
would do if an ordinary alcoholic stimulant was
resorted to), but radically and permanently.
How is this desirable object to ba accomplish
ed ? The answer to this question, founded on the
unvarying experience of a quarter of a century,
is easily given. Infuse new vigor into the diges
tive organs by a course of Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters. Do not waste time in administering tem
porary remedies, but wake the system up by re
cuperating the louutaiu head of physical strength
and energy, the great organ upon which all the
other organs depend lor their nurture and sup
port.
By the time that a doz m bottles of the great
vegetable tonic and invigoraut have been taken,
the feeble frame of the dyspeptic will begin to
feel its benign inflenee. Appetite will be created,
and with appetite the capacity to digest what it
craves. Persevere until the cure is complete—
until healthful blood, fit to be in the material of
flesh and muscle, bone and nerve and brain, flows
through the channels of circulation, instead ol the
watery pabulum with which they have heretofore
been imperfectly nourished.

The Wonder* of the Grave.— The tomb ot
Ed** and the First, who died la 1-NO7, was opened
January 2, 1770, after 463 years had elapsed. His
body wa3 almost perfect Canute (the Dane) who
cio**ed over to England in 1017, was found in
1776 by the workmen who repaired Winchester
Cathedral, where his body had reposed nearly
750 years, perfectly tresh. In 1569, three Roman
soldier*, fully equipped with warlike implements
were dug out ot abed of pent In Ireland, where
they Lad lain probably 1,500 year*. Their bodies
weie perfectly fresh and plump.
In the reign ol James 11. cf Euglaud, alter the
fall of the church at Astley, la Warwickshire,
there was taken up the corpse of Tiiooias Gray,
Marquis of Dorset, who was buried there the 10th
of October, 1530, in the twenty-second year of
Henry VIII.; and although it has been there
seventy-eight years, the eyes, hair, flesh, nails,
and joints remained as though it had been but
newly buried.
Robert Brajbrook, who was consecrated BUhop
of London in 1381, and who died tu 14C4 snd was
buried in St. Paul’s, was taken out of his tomb
after the great fire in 1666, during the repairs ol
the Cathedra), and although he had iaiu their no
less than 262 years, his body was found firm as to
(kin, hair, joints aud nails.
Pietro Rodriguez, a Portuguese jeweler, while
pursuing his occupation in the City of Mexico,
was, in 1595. accused before the Tribunal ol the
Inquisition, and after suffering a variety of tor
tures, was condemned to be buried alive in a vault
In the Convent de St. Domingo in that city. He
was then S3 years old.
The Convent de St. Domingo was lately de
molished In search of treasure supposed to be
concealed there, and the body of Rodriguez uken
out of the vault exactly as when placed there 270
years before. His daugh’er, two and a half years
or age, was lying under her father’s fee', and as
perfectly preserved as himself. The evidences of
torture on the body of the J-weler are fearfully
apparent. In one respect, however, the appear
ance does not coincide with the record which we
have given. The miserable man must have died
in the hands of his tormentors. The positions of
his hands show that he was suspended by the
body and neck until he died. Marks of the cord
and of the burning iron are deeply recorded on
various parts of his body. Ills hair and beard are
firm, hie skin natural in hue and texture, without
the least trace of '’ecomposltion in any part.
Appomattox — Col. C. 8. Venable in a speech
delivered In- Richmond, gave the following ac
count of what occurred Just before the surrender
of General Lee :
At 3 o’clock on the morning of that fatal day
General Lee rode forward, still hoping that we
might break through the countless hordes of the
enemy which hemmed us iu. Halting a shoit din
tance in the rear of our vauguard, he sent me on
to General Gordon to ask him if ha could break
through the euetny. I fouud General Gordon
aud General Fi;z Lee on their front line in thß
dim light of the morning arranging au attack.
Gordon’s reply to the message (I g>ve the expres
sive phrase of the gailant Georgian) was this :
* Tell General Lee I have fought my corps to a
frszzie, and I fear I cun do nothing unless 1 am
heavily suppor ed by Longstreet’s corps.” When
I bore this message back to General Lee, he said:
‘ Then there is nothing left me but to go and see
General Grant, and I would rather die a thousand
deaths.’ Convulsed, with passionate grief, many
were the wild words we spoke, aa we stood around
him. Said one: ‘Oa! General, what will history
say of the surrender of the army la the field ?"
He replied: ‘Yei, I know they will say hard
things of us; they wiil not understand how we
were overwhelmed by numbers ‘. but that Is not
the question, Coionei; the question is, Is it right
to surrender this army ? It it is right, then I will
take all the responsibility.’ Fellow-soldiers,
