Ga GREENSBORO, GA., AUGUST 17,18G7. The Old Canoe. The following beautiful poem is from the pen of Gen. Albert Pike. Where the rocks are gray and tbo shore is steep, And the waters below look dark and deep, Where the rugged pine in its lonely pride Leans gloomily oVcr the murky tide ; Where the reedsnnd rushes nro full rind rank, Where the weeds grow thick on the winding bank, Where the shadow is heavy the whole day through, Lies at its moorings the old canoe. The useless paddles are idly dropped, Like a sea-bird’s wiugs that the storm hath stopped, And crossed on the railing, one o’er one, Like folded hands when tlie work is done ; While busily back and forth between, The spider stretches his silver screen ; And the solemn owl, with Ins dull “too whoo,” Nestles down on the side of the old canoe. The stern half sunk in the slimy waye, Rots slowly awuy in its hidden grave ; And the green moss creeps o’er its dull de cay, Hiding the mouldering past away* Like the hand that plants o’er the tomb a flower, Or the ivy that mantles a fallen tower, \\ bile many a blossom of liveliest hue Springs up o’er the stern of the old canoo. The eurrentless waves are dead and still, But the light winds play with the boat at will, And lazily in and out again It floats the length of its rusty chain, Like the weary march of the hands of time, That meet and part at tho noontide chime. And the shore is kissed ut each turn anew By tho dipping bow of the old canoe Oh, many a time, with a careless hand, I have pushed it away from tho pebbly strand And paddled it down where tho stream ran quick, When the whirls wrire wild and the Storm w»i thick ; And laughed, as I leaned on the rocking side, And looked below in the broken tide, To see that the faces and boats were two, That were mirrored back from tho old canoe. But now, as I lean on the crumbling side And look below in the sluggish tide, The face that I see is graver grown, And the laugh that 1 hear has a sober tone, Aud the baud that lent to tho light skiff wings, Has grown familiar with sterner things, But I love to think of the hours that flew, As 1 rocked where the whirls their wild spray threw, Ere the blossoms moved or the green grass grow O’er the mouldering stern oT tbe old canoe. Brother Crawford's Sermon. ‘You don’t see mo to-day in the dress I oi lers wear. I come among you us a stranger, and ani now tricked out in my store clothes. I am not a proud man, but I thought it Would be more becoming among stranger*.’ After this, lie raised a hymn, in which the congregation joined. 110 then begun Lis ser mon : ‘My dear brethren and sisters:- First and foremost, I’m guine to tell you the affecting partin’ I had with my congregation at Bethel Chapel. After I had got through with my farewell sermon, as I come down outen the pulpit, the old gray headed brethren and sis tern, who had listened to my voice for twenty years, crowded around me, and with sobbing voices and tearful eyes, said—‘Farewell, broth er Crawford 1’ ‘As I walked down the aisle, the young la dies, tricked out in their finery, brass jewelry, gewgaws, jimcracks, paint and flounces, looked up with their bright eyes, and pronounced with their rosy lips—‘Farewell, brother Craw ord 1’ ‘The young men, in their tight patent leath er boots, high collars and dasuy waist-coats smelling of pomatum and cigar smoke—with shanghai coats and striped zebra pant# they, too, said—‘Farewell, brother Crawford I’ ‘The little children—lambs in the fold—lift ed up their tiny hands and small voices, and with one accord,said—‘Farewell brother Craw ford 1’ ‘As I got on my liorse, nnd bade adieu to my congregation forever, I turned to take a last look at the church where l bad preached mor’u twenty years ; aud ns I gazed at its dilapidated walls aud inoss covered roof, it too, soeined to say—‘Farewell, brother Crawford 1’ ‘As I rode through tho village, the psople who poked their heads outen the windows, and the servants who loant on their brooms, all seemed to say—‘Farewell, brother Crawford I ‘As I passed along the highway, through the forest, the wind as it whistled through the tree tops, playing on tho leaves and branches the burden of salvation, it too, seemed to say —‘Farewell, brother Crawford 1’ ‘Crossing a little creek that was gurgling nnd singing over its pebbly bed, rejoicing on its way to the great ocean of eternity, it, too, seemed to say —-Farewell, brother Crawford 1’ ‘As I rode along down a hot dusty lane, an old sow, asleep in the fence corner, jumped out of a sudden, and, with a loud broo too. broo too, she too, seemed to soy—‘Farewell, brother Crawford 1’ ‘My horse got frightened, and jumped from under me, and os he curled his tail over his back, kicked up his heels and inn off, he too, seemed to say—‘Farewell, brother Crawford !’ A Tennessee paper furnishes the following t A gentleman informs us that while passing the road from this place to Cooportown, he discov ered in the road a hawk lying on his back, and on approaching near he found that the hawk had caught a snake, which had one of the hawk’s claws clasped in his mouth, and was so closely coiled around the hawk that he, the I hawk, could not move. Our informant dis- I mounted and killed them both. Tennessee—The Triumph of the Negro. The triumph of radicalism iu thn “\ T uluu teOr Statu” is oauiplole—ths msj .rity being anywhere between twenty-five and fifty thou sand, It seems the negroes Voted square and solid with the Radicals. We presume they will do so whenever the issue is made. Tennessee was tho first Stifle tt> get back in to the Union, aud is to-day iu a worse con’d'* lion—infinitely worse—than either of the ten embraced ia the five military districts; a fact w hich parties now engaged in dividing and distracting the people of Georgia would do well to take a note of. Toe-article below from the Memphis Bulletin , is illustiative of the farce.— Atlanta Intelligencer. “We looked in upon them at their poflihG places, at about 12 o’clock. Nut being a voter ourselves, ou account of a supposed defect of patriotism, our visit was, of course, one of meie curiooj.',. To our eyes the long procession of dusky figures making their way slowly to the judge’s stand, bore the sem blance of a fuueral procession. Liberty was dead, we thought, and these her pall-lvarers. The white people, those unfortunate individ uals who bad been tabooed on account of color, were looking on curiously, from a dis tance, pretty much as they would look ou the realization of some Eastern tale iu the Arabian Nights. V,'e Bcanned the counten ances of the dusky voters. Childish carios ity aud simplicity, stolid indifference, blank ignorance, wretchedness and crime were the main characteristics. And these were the voters of America, the m«n who are to be the future guardians of the constitutional iiberliei of these Slates, the law givers and the judges of a land of white men. We turned away sick at heart. “ As we passed by Court Square, we found a regiment of troops encamped, with a sen tinel at each gate, with a bristling bayonet, and rows of stacked arms belonging to the men who were lying about among (lie shade trees. The statue of Andrew Jackson look ed down upon these men. How the old hero, the constitution-defender, would have been astonished if he could have arisen from bis grave and looked upon all llieso things being enacted in the State of lYnnessea, in the year of grace 1867 ! Sic transit. The play is over, the actors are dispersed, and our rea ders will find in our local columns, that the Caucasian, in the State of Tennessee, has passed tinder the rule of the Africa.

Tiiaffk'ljrod T* we have resisted the desecration of our altars, and the degra dation of our raoe, ell we knew how." Alleged Abduction in North Caroli na.—The Winston (N. C.) Sentinel state? that one day last week n party of meu from Tennessee, claiming to belong to Tlrovnlow’s militia, made a raid into Wilkes county, North Carolina, and arrested and carried isl a young man by the name of Wagoner. — Wagoner is a native of Johnson county. Ten nessce, and at the commencement of the war joined the Ist North Carolina cavalry, and did not visit his home during the struggle, and eince the war, being afraid to return home, ho settled in Wilkes county and re cently married. The men who carried him off told him they were acting under authori ty of Brownlow, and that ho had offered S4OO reward for him. The captors placed a guard of two men,one on each side of him, and placed a rear guard over biin, with the in structions to fire off a gun on the approach of any one that had tbe appearance of pur suit, and the firing of tbe gun was the signal to the guards near Wagoner’s person to kill him. When the party was approaching Taylorsville the rear guard stopped at a branch to drink, and fell to the rear some thirty or forty yards. Wagoner conceived this to be the best and last chance to escape. He suddenly struck one of bis guards and knocked him off a steep embankment, and immediately struck the other and darted into the woods. Dy this time the attention of the whole party was drawn to him, and they fired a volley after him but his person was not touched although several balls passed through his clothing. He got safely back to Wilkes after three days. AOAiNfer tiie Cuuksnt. —A waggish chap, whose vixen wife by drowning lost her precious life, called out his neighbors all around and told ’em that his spouse was drowned, and in spite of search, could not be found. He knew, he said, the very uook where she had tumbled in the brook, and be bad dragged along ‘.he shore, above the place, a mile or more. “Above the place!” the people cried; “why, what d’ya mean!” The man replied, “Os course you dou’t suppose I’d go and waste the time to look below ? I’ve known the wos man quite a spell, and learnt her fashions tolerable well ; alive or dea 1, she’d go, I swow, against the current anyhow !’’ As Jeff. Davis passed through the town Staustead, Vermont, the other day, a crowd of Yankee boors aud rufliins hissed and threw stones at him, . Pay the Debt in Greenbacks. The Columbus City (Indiana) Post thus expresses the general sentiments of all who have thought upon the rjtteslion. It says: “Pay the debt in greenbacks," is the rak I\ icry of the toiling millions of white men who are now almost crushed to the earth by the enormous burdens which a radical, bond holding revolutionary party have imposed Upon them. Yes, pay the debt in green' backs, and pul the laboring man on an equality with the banker and bondholder Pay the debt in greenbacks, and save one hundred and silty millions of dollars in inter est yearly—enough of itself to pay the na tional debt in fifteen years, Pay the debt in greenbacks, and strike down one of the must tinrelentingmoneyed aristocracies which ever cursed any people, l'ay the debt in greenbacks, and by so doing you will legislate twenty thousand Federal officers out of c ffioc and save millions of dollars. “The Supreme Court of the United States hare decided that greenbacks are a legal ten* der—the same as gold and silver —in the pay ment of any debt. If they are a legal tender to pay the laborer, are they not as much so to pay the bondholder 3 If they are good onough to pay the widows and orphans the small pittance due them, are they not good enough to pay the bondholders? Or are flesh and blood not as good as the nttouey of an exempted bondholder 3 “Let the cry of ‘pay fke debt > u K reen ‘ backs’ be taken up in the East, Weal, North and South, and all will yet be right.” Gbniiial Kobkrt E. Lsb. —The fallowing extract is taken from an interesting letter written by a lady in Liberty, Bedford county Va.: “Gen, Lee, accompanied by his daughter Miss Mildred, stopped here for a night on his way to the While Sulphur. While here the General’s old officers proposed giving him an entertainment in the shape of a dinner or supper, but he declined all public demonstra tions. As he rode through the village on his departure, the citizens assembled, and while lie was parsing along the streets every man raised bis hat and stood with bowed head. — The General also raised bis hat, and this si lent tribute to their favorite General was indeed beautiful. A gentleman ridiog with the General at the time says ‘that ho felt like weeping, il being such a solemn tribute of respect —so silent and sad-—not a voice was raised, ’l’was the heart-Colt lovo of a ooniprored people lor a beloved herof’ A Nobls Womax. —A loiter from Mexico says : Col.

You have betrayed your country and your benefactor. From this hour we are strangers, for I shall this day retire to my family. Go.” What it means. —“Wo can have every State iu the South if our friends are wise, and show to the peoplo that Republicanism means peace, economy, good government, general prosperity.”— Tribune. Let us see how Republicanism means “peace.’* On its accession to power it helped to in volve the country in a civil war, arraying one-half the country against the other half in deadly hostility, and filling tens of thous sands of graves, upon which the grass h»6 scarcely bad lime yet to grow. Let us see bow it means “economy.” It has helped to run up a national debt of neaily three thousand millions ot dollars, imposed taxes upon the people the like of which were utterly unknown before, and mortgaged Libor and Industry to Capital at least lor a generation to come. How does it menu “good government?” •Let tbe present political and social condition of at least ten Slates of the Union testily. — The onlv government there is a government of guns —‘with no prestige of popular sanc tion, to give it dignity or respectability. Tne governors do not derive their powers from the consent of the governed, but from the merest caprice of a Rump Congress. Finally, Republicanism means “general prosperity,” by paralyzing trade and com merce, through the operation of ruinously high tariffs, under the false pretence of af fording protection to home industry. The almost total annihilation of our once great shipping interest is notably a feature of that kind of “great prosperity” of which we ex pect to have a great deal more, before we have less, if this thing ctiled R?publican : sni is to he continued. — New York Express.
