A Rkd Man’s Uehoism.—The Virginia City
Montanian says the nearest approach to the heroic
coloring, given lo Indian character by the pale
faced poets of other days, has just been told us
by one of the participators in a little 6quabble
with one oi the bone-picking Bannacks who
haunt that vicinity. One day last week, while
George Gohn and George Smith were killing beef
at their slaughter-house up the gulch, a Banoack
Indian accompanied by three or four squaws,
came upon the scene iu search of wood and the
legitimate plunder of the slaughter-house—the re
fuse. The lordly child of the forest undignificdly
stretched himself upon the ground aud calmly
smiled upon his industrious wives as they gath
ered the trophies. Happening to pass his way,
Smith accidentally or otherwise, touched the big
Ingen’s foot with his boot, when big Ingen re
•ented the fancied insult by laying hold of a clap
board and swatting George over the back. More
pleased than angry, Smith retaliated by squccaing
the red man’s wind-pipe and shoving him eue
side, supposing this would settle it.
“Not so, however, for “Lo” had been Insulted,
and his dignity must be appeased. He according
ly went for Smith, and iu a ten minute rough and
tumble fight came out second best. Now light
here is where a sensible white man would have
quit and where the traditional heroism of the red
asserted itself. He had been insulted in the pres
ence of his sunburnt loves, and then ignomini
onaly thrashed. It was too much, and with a
voice humbled with shame and a bosom bared to
the skies, he approached Mr. Gohn with : “Me
licked; me big Ingen, and me no want to live.
You shootce mo, George—you killum me quick—
me no want to live.” George remonstrated, but
iu vain—that buck was disgraced and v anted to
be gathered to his fathers, and insisted on being
killed as he stood smiting his brave, brown bosom
before the humane slayer of kine. Failing to
couvince him that many a white man got whipped
and then had the audacity to want to live, Gohn
had to lead him away. On Smith’s returning to
town and cabin in the evening, the noble Bannack
again eame and insisted on being killed, and
finally persuaded Smith to perform that bloody
deed with a “little axe.” Stoically stood the
chief under the shadow of the blade, ready for the
sacrifice, aud as it descended with a crash, Mr.
Indian sprang to one side, and you couldn’t have
seen his heels for the dust as, he struck out for
his “ waikup.” If Cooper bad been writing this,
that Indian would now have been an honored
corpse, but as it is, he remains for us to endure
and the Peace Commissioners to take care of.
University or Vumlhia. —Referring to the
career ot Mr. J. D. Isaacs, of Richmond, who
graduated at the above named University, and
who afterwards became a mechanic, the Char
lottsvlile Chronicle says : This is not the only
Instance knowu of young men who, after spend
ing several years as students ot the University,
have gone into machine shop3 to learn practically
all the arts of engineers and machinists. A young
gentleman ol the county, who was a University
student for several years, went through a pupil
age at Harris’ foundry, was alterwards employed
at laborer’s wages in New York, then in Liver*
pool, and is now pursuing his profession or trade
(whichever it may be celled) on an ocean steamer.
These, and other instances which could be men
tioned, are the best answer and rebuke to the
senseless cry that is made against the University
as a school for highflyers, for rich men and sons
of men who are, or consider themselves to be,
elevated above the mechanic and laboring class.
It this criticism of the University had the least
shadow ot a shade of ground in tact, there would
be such a public sentiment pervading the whole
college and the community about it that no young
man who had breathed the atmosphere of the
place for more than one session would leave the
classic shades, and seek for regular employment

Cotton—lts Cultivation.
A correspondent of the Nashville Rural Sun
makes the following suggestion in regard to the
culture of cotton, which may prove interesting
and beneficial to our farmers:
“ So many plans for the culture of cotton have
been successfully adopted that, to prescribe a cer
tain mode, would be simply giving the opinion of
the writer, in conflict, perhaps, with the judgment
of better cotton farmers. But Ido not think one
could fail to raise cotton on the plan that I shall
auggeat, aa the mode generally adopted by our
Southern planters.
“ Most good tarmers In oar Slate are ready to
plant cotton, so as to be done about the 10th of
April. Land should be thrown up into as high
beds as possible, so as to give the plant all the
advantages of that surface drainage which the
heavy Southern rainfall makes especially necessa
ry. This it emphatically a sun plant. It thrives
under the ray of the same sun which withers the
corn blade. It is a plant which seems peculiarly
adapted to our droutby climate. By an examina
tion of its foliage one sees that it is so construct
ed as to readily shed rain; the comparison with
corn is characteristically the reverse. In planting,
the rows should be opened so as to tear down the
bed as little as possible, and the drill made per
fectly straight. The seed should be rolled in
dampened ashes, so they roll separate in the drill,
and not epront up in bunches, to be destroyed by
the careless hoe hand. If planted immediately
before a rain, or when the ground is damp, the
seeds sprout above the ground a few days after
planting. The trouble of cotton begins from the
time it shows its “shining countenance.” It is
preyed upon by the craw-fish, lice, damp and
cold, in its incipieney. The farmer, by reason of
this necessity for attention to his corn about the
time his cotton is well up, seldom has a chance
to hoe it out in time. The best judges say cot
ton should be ‘ put to a stand’ the first hoeing
over, and not ‘ blotched’ once or twice previous,
as those afraid of lice and craw-fish recommend.
As soon as the young plant is thinned out and
worked around with the hoe, this early impetus
to grow eoon gives it sufficient strength to shed
lice, and get beyond the appetite of the craw-fish.
The planter who gets his cotton to a stand, is
half the battle ahead of his la*y neighbor. Pre
vious to hoeing, cotton is ‘barred off’ with the
plow, running as close as possible, so as not to
disturb the plant, and in this part of the work the
importance of a straight drill is discovered. By
the narrow remnant of undisturbed soil left next
to the plant, hoeing is facilitated. The dextrous
use of the plow renders hoeing a secondary ne
cessity in the cultivation of cotton. The skillful
plowman, alter the ‘ barring ofl,’ turns back and,
with a solid sweep, throws the loose dirt again
well up around the plant—that process being im
portant, not only to keep the earth stirred, but to
cover the impres6ibie crab grass and morning
glories, which love so well the company of cotton
on its growth to maturity. The farmer who al
lows his cotton to keep such company can’t make
it pay iu raising the great staple. The middles
between the rows should never be left too long—
keep them thrown out, and you have a place for
the loose dirt turned from the re-barring off, and
your persistent friend, crab grass, is kept well
smothered under. The general idea of cotton
culture should be deep ‘ bedding up’ and shallow
cultivation. The object cf culture is not to dis
turb the growing plant by uprooting it with the
plow, but to keep the autaee of the ground
stirred, and loose dirt around the cotton and
upon the grass. Cotton left to itself among the
weeds shoots up into a boleless stalk ; well culti
vated and slightly disturbed by the passage of tho
plow, it grows to maturity with a plentiful har
vest of bolls. Rains in excess cause quick, rank
growth, a disposition to grow too much to limbs,
and to shed from the bolls. Dry seasons are the
best lor cotton. The growth of the plant then Is
moderate; the tendency is to grow fruit instead
of wood.
“ After the battle for a good ‘ stand’ has been
decided, the planter feels that he is 9ure of a half
crop—ccme boll worm, come rain. One-fourth of
the cotton crop every season is destroyed by the
heedless negro ia hoeing out to a stand.”
Us Boxs.—Billy Rose, a temperance lecturer at
Rushville, Illinois, was preaching to the young on
his favorite theme. He said:
“ Now, boys, when I ask you a question you
must not be atraid to speak light out and answer
me. When you look around aud see all these fine
houses, farms and cattle, do you ever think who
owns them now? Yout father* own* them, do
they not ?
“ Yes, air,” shouted a hundred voices.
“ Well, whare will your fathers be twenty years
from now ?’’
“Dead,” shouted the boys.
“ That’s right. And who will own all this prop
erty then ?”
“Us boys,” shouted the urchins.
“Right. Now tell me, did you ever In going
along the streets, notice the drunkards lounging
around the saloon door, waiting for somebody to
treat them ?”
“Yes, sir, lots of them!”
“ Well, where will they be twenty years from
now ?’*
“ Dead!” exclaimed the boys.
“And who will be the drunkards then?”
“ Us boys!”
Billy was thunderstruck for a moment, bnt re
covering himself, he tried to tell the hoys how to
escape such a fate.
Gov. Hendricks.— This politician, in a letter to
the Indianapolis Sentinel, explains his recent visit
to Washington, in which he intimates very
decidedly what ought to b 2 done, according to
his notion, in the politics ot the country. He
says:
“My visit to Washington City had nothing
whatever to do with political matteis, and whilst
there I had less conversation in relation to parties
and party organizations than at any former visit
to that city, and I was quite surprised when I
learned that newspaper correspondents attributed
to me auy political purpose. A cause in the Su
preme Court and some business in the Depart
ments occupied nearly ail my time, my conversa
tions with friends and acquaintances upon public
and political matters were casual and without
arrangement, and I might say without design.
"I have expressed the hope, which I earnestly
entertain, that all who sincerely des ire a thorough
reform in the public service shall so act together
as to restore integrity and economy in that ser
vice, and place the public authority once more
upon a constitutional basis. How this may be
best accomplished, whether through oar existing
organization or by a movement introducing new
elements, should be carefully considered, and the
action of the Democratic, Liberal and Reform ele
ments in the States, will probably suggest the
best general action. I believe a large majority of
the people desire a change in the administration,
and the practical question is, how shall they ccme
together wi g a view to that end.”
A Parisian philosopher, who was wealthy as
well as philosophical, left lbs following testa
ment—“lt is my will that any one of my relatives
who shall presume to shed tears at my funeral,
shall be disinherited ; he who laughs most heartily
6hall be sole heir ’’ —all bereaved kindred are now
under treatment for exploded sides. The success
ful competitor was the philosopher’s grandfather,
who produced an artificial hilarity by ,basly In
baling nitrous-oxide gas.
FORSYTH, GEORGIA. TUESDAY MORNING APRIL 29. 1873.
Lundor’i “Imaginary Conversa
tion*.”
From advance sheets of s.nouer’i for May, we
copy the following:
From youth bis letters, oL-.a essays aud reviews
in themselves, to his seiectest intellectual com
panions, exhibit him as a splendid artist in prose
and a learned and accurate thinker. He had been
drinking the wine ol iife, reading, reflecting,
studying “cities of men * * and climates,
councils, governments,” at Tours, Como, Pisa,
Florence, Bath; and, at the age of forty-five or
forty-six, with every faculty matured, became
suddenly aware of the fitness of written dia
logue as the vehicle of his conceptions, and for
the exercise of that dramatic tendency which had
thus far formed no practical outlet. Foster has
pointed out that this form of literature was suited
alike to his strength, dogmatism, and variety of
mood. The idea, once conceived, was realized
with his usual impetuosity. It swelled and
swelled, drawing np the thought and observation
of a lifetime; in two years the first and second
books of Imaginary Conversations were given to
the world, and in four more, six volumes in all
had been completed. For the first time the En
glish people were dazzled and affected by this au
thor’s genius; the books were a success; and all
citizens of the republic of letters discovered, what
a few choice spirits had known before, that Land
or was their peer and master.
It is needless to eulogize the series of imaginary
Conversations—to which the poet kept adding, as
the fancy seized him, until the year of his decease
within the memory of us all. They have passed
into literature, and their influence and charm are
undying. They are an encyclopedia, a panoramic
museum, a perpetual drama, a changeful world cl
fancy, character, and action. Their learning cov
ers languages, histories, inventions; their thought
discerns and analyzes literature, art, poetry, phi
losophy, manners, life, government, religion—
everything to which human faculties have applied
themselves, which eye Las seen, ear has beard, or
the heart of man conceived. Their personages
are as noble as those of Sophocles, as sage and
famous a3 Plutarch’s, as varied as those of Shak
speare himself: comprising poets, orators, sol
diers, statesmen, monarchs, fair women and brave
men. Through them all, among them all, breathes
the spirit of Landor, and above them waves his
compelling wand. Where his subjectively becomes
apparent, it is in a serene and elevated mood; for
he is traversing the realm of the ideal, his better
angel rules the hour, and the man is transfigured
in the magician and the poet.
Vat - Ish Dat. —The following reminissence
shows how important it was to know the counter
sign during the war:
As the chilly night drew on, not a thousaud
miles from Natchez, onee upon a time might have
been seen a solitary Teuton, steering his steed
along the by-path of the valley of pass. Thus It 1
was, and the squawk ot the snaptooole was only
heard, when, suddenly—“ Halt,” rung out in
startling tones, upon the night air. i
“ Halt it vas!” was the response.
“ Who dun cum darSA’ Interrogated the dusky
sentinel.
“ Frensh, mit der countershinwas the an- ‘
swer.
“ Fren wid de countersine, ’vance an’ gub it!”
Leaning accommodatingly over from fils weary
charger, the rider was about to whisper the ts’is
nianic word, when old Gunlock, anticipatingly, '
ciaps his month to the horseman's ear and ex
claims, “ teetum!”
“ Te Tuyvel,” cried Hans, “ vat ia dat ?”
“ Dem’s un!” says Ebo “ teetum ! don’t ye dun
know, dem is dun been de eountersine ?”
“You plack dunderheads,” retoited Hans, “de
vorts vas Antydam! I knows so better as myself 1”
“ Den pass l” replies smutface, and in a moment,
only the echos of retiring huffs could be recog
nized, excepting when the sparks from his iron
heels upon the flint stones flashed spitefully back
upon the wandering optics of the lightnißg bug.
The word for the night was Antietam.
Mexico to bb Invaded. —The Savannah Ad
vertiser of Sunday morning says that on Saturday
afternoon its editors received a visit from a gen
tleman who gave the following items:
On Friday morning last he had an interview
with a gentleman—late an officer of one of the
United States volunteer corps—who had just ar
rived from New Orleans. Before leaving that
city he stated that he had been approached and
offered a command in an expedition then being
organized to move on Mexico.
He was told that the advance guards was to be
composed of five thousand men, composed of
Texans and others, and was to be commanded by
James Longstreet, late of the Confederate army,
now of the Kellogg militia. He was further In
formed that the United States government knew
of and would aid it in every way possible. He
was also told that enlistments for the purpose
were be ; ng made in Mobile and other points in
the Southwest, and expressed some surprise that
nothing bad been done in Savannah.
Our informant is a gentleman of intelligence
and reliability, and his statement is doubtless
correct in every particular.
Thh Strikers at Work.— Dispatches states
that the Boston Sunday Herald is informed by a
prominent member ef the United Order of Ameri
can Carpenters and Joiners, and amalgamated
unions, that the commotion in the organiiation
in New York is but the premonitory symptoms of
a general upheaval at an early date in all the large
cities of the North, Southeast aud West.
The local branches of the order, iu all sections,
have been holding large and enthusiastic secret
meetings, and a general plan of action for the
government of this national organization is about
completed. The funds now in the treasury are
large, and sufficient to enable the members to
hold out, on a strike, for at least six month*.
The Association is more anxious to secure the
eight-hour system than an increase of wages.
But if the strike is caused by non-compliance of
employers to recognize the eight-hour plan, then
the increase of pay will be demanded.
It is stated that in Boston and the neighboring
cities, the order has a large and influential mem
bership. The fraternity, in all sections, when
everything is ready, will rise simultaneously. The
machinists, blacksmiths, boiler makers and metal
workers, it is understood, will also commence to
move soon in conjunction with the iron moulders
and Eight Hour League, of New York, to carry
into effect the great objects in view.
The Pcpb. —The Cincinnati Enquirer has this
to say about the death of the Pope :
“ Pope Pius the Ninth lacks a month of being
eighty one years of age. It ia said that he is at
the point ol death. Had Napoleon 111. died three
years before he did, his demise would have agita
ted all the States ot Europe. Had Pius the Ninth
died as long ago his death would have sent a tre
mor through two hundred millions of people and
have unsettled the politics ot more than’one
European State. If his death shall o-enr now
it will be a commanding event, but not an absorb
ing one in any nation. The election of his suc
cessor, however, by the College of Cardinals will
be an absorbing event in case of his death ’ He
was elected to the Papacy on the 16th of June
1b46, under the name ot Pius the Ninth. He has
had a long ecclesiastical reign. He has had top
a chequered career. It his light shall presentiv
go into darkness, the head of that Church which
has more communicants than, perhaps all other
Churches, will be no more. But the achievements
of nis long life are a part of the history of the
world. The name of Giovanni Marie Mastai Fer*
relti is lost in his sacerdotal name, but tb- figu '
ia one of the foremost in the recent hietorjw r ®
“In G-od w© Trust.”

Welcome, beautiful May,
With your wealth ot Duds and
Making the woodlands so gay,
Offspring of April showers!
Welcome, beautifal May!
Fair as the morning of life.
Before our souls are saddened
By all earth’s fb:l and strife.
We sea onco more thy garlands,
That make the spring complete,
And we hear again the music,
Of thy daintily-sandaled feet.
And the sweetly scented arbntus,
Down in the field below,
Tries with its fairy blossoms
To mimic the wreathes ot snow.
The apple trees are tilling
The air with sweet permute.
For to all their boughs are clinging,
The clusters of scented bloom,

And the birds, w -n at plumage,
That to wood aud field belong,
Add to the gifts of springtime
The glorious one ol song.
And we think we hear them saying
Throughout the livelong day,
“Fraiee to the great Creator,
For the beautiiul gifts ol May."
