A building occupied by negroes, on the reaidence lot belonging to the estate of Thomas JL Talmadge, wa# entirely destroyed. It seems that the negroes bad all left the house, and it Is ■opposed that clothes hanging before the fire place caught from the fire on the hearth. A tarribU gale waa blowing at the time, tortunately It was veering to the Northeast, otherwise the residence on the lot, and In ail probability the residence of MaJ. Proctor would have been con sumed. The contents of the house were all burned, Since writing the above we understand that sparks from the fire fell twice on a car load of cotton at the depot, and but for the vigilance of Mr. bake would hurt bees lout.

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 Mrj. Danlelly’s on yesterday and we confidently asßert that he ha* one of the most choice and select, besides the most fasciuating and ; pleasing stock of goods that It has been oar pleas- j ure to examine in a Song while.

Senator Norwood.—We have received a copy of the very able argument of Senator Norwood, deliver! and In the Senate of the United Btates on the 18th ol March, on the election of Alexander Caldwell, of Kansas. Editor Advertiser: Your n >te, Informing me that you cannot spare space for the fur.hei dis cussion of the temperance question, has been placed on my desk. Please permit me to tbank you for the kindness you have done me in the premises, and to assure you of my kindest wishes for the success and prosperity of your able journal. The four commuuications cover the questions at issue between the two Orders, and a careful perusal of them will suffice to give the unpreju diced enquirer all the information he may desire to form a correct opinion of his own. 1 have not sought the opinion of any individual to sustain my points, but have appealed to the law and testimony. 1 procured all my figures from the official records snd laws of the stat ute book. My opponent claims the same, and we can say no more. One or the other Is mistaken, and those Interested will hsve to examine for themselves. However enough has been told by both to give some light, aud peihaps as the battle of words was to be next, you do well to stop us. Then good by a. •* W.” No Fence. — Mr. Editor: This die rict sends greeting to Brantley’s district, on her very Im portant and sensible movement to abolish all fences.

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. Bourgeois. 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, though he alone was calm in that hour of humilia tion, tho soul of our great Captain uuderwmt the throeß of death for hia grand old aimy sur rendered, and for his people to lie so noon at the mercy ot the loe; and the sor.ows cf this first death at Appomattox Court House, with the aIH ictioßS which fell upon the devoted South, weighed upon his mighty heart to its breaking, when the welcome messenger came from God to translate him to his home in heaven.” Varnishes.—Copal, Coach and Japan, just ar rived at McCommon A Banks. aplS.tf New and Cheap Dry Good3.— Maj.
