The Lambs Within the Fold.
m bv Berra s. Watson.
’Neath the trees in the old church yard,
Two tiny beds were made,
Two tiny forms, snfe sheltered there,
Lie sleeping in the shade.
Two little, fnir-lmired boys were they,
With smiling, soft blue eyes—•
Whose spirits, far too pure for caTtb,
Have wandered to the skies.
And now, before the ‘Great, white Throne,’
On shining harps of gold.
They wake glad strains, and raptured gate
On glories all untold.
And sometimes side by side they stand,
At Heaven’s pearly gate,
And look for loved ones left on earth,
Whose coming they await.
When o’er their little graves we bend,
With tender, tearful eyes,
Ohl murmur not that they have gone
To dwell in Paradise.
To rove in love, through ‘‘pastures green,”
And lie by “waters still,”
To chant God's praise through endless days,
And ever do His will.
To wear the “garments made of light,”
And changeless crowns of gold,
To rest oft-times in Jesus’ arms —
Those “lambs within the fold.”

Impeachment.—During a recent intffr
view with an old Tennessee friend, the
purport of which has been detailed pub
licly, Mr. Johnson stated that he Mould
take his final 6tand against Congress by
resisting its light, if it assumed it to sus
pend him during the progress of the
impeachment trial, if he Mas impeached.
So many if's spoils the threat, but it is
probable that the first opportunity afforded
the President to take a stand against
Congress on this subject, will be to veto
a bill providing for a suspension from
office of all public officers who may
have been impeached, until they have
been tried, which will undoubtedly be
introduced and passed early in the ses
sion.- N. Y. Times.
A Good Joke on thf Governor. —A cou

Governor was absent, and they were stand

watching every one that passed, to see if he
was the Governor. After awhile the Gover
nor passed them and went in, when one of
the ladies said, “perhaps this is the man we
are looking for.” “No,” said the other, “the
Governor never wears an old straw hat and
bobtailed coat. —Lexington Ob. and Rep.
Cure for Felons.
As there is much needless suffering from
felons, we deem it a duty to give a remedy
which we know to be perfectly reliable:—
Take a portion of the bark of sweet elder, or
hops will do, put it with some sweet cream
ioto a cup, and boil a short time; then put
in a lump ot saltpetre twice as large as a pea;
let it slowly dry aWay to the consistency of
a salve, which apply to the felon. The salG
petre is the cure, but the elder bark and
sweet cream aid in easing the pain. As fel
ons sometimes make it necessary to amputate
a finger or hand, (if left alone,) they should
be attended to at once.
By putting enough saltpetre any felon cau
be cured in forty-eight hours, and the pain
will cease almost immediately.
This is at least, at any rate equal to Nic
Longworib’s corroded cent for the cure of
the scrofula.
What the Radieals Have Done.
Tb e Metropolitan Record prefcis the .fol
lowing bill of indiotment Against the R idioal
faction, ft is far from complete ; but as far
as it goes it is true :
They heve fastened upon the country a
debt of three thousand millions, at least one
half of which was stolen by i fHcial harpies
amd cornorants of their own party. They
have ground to the earth with a crushing
weight of taxes the industrial and producing
classes of the country.
They have establshed a bond-ocraey which
shares none of the burdens imposed upon
the people, but which waxes rich and fat on
their sweat and toil.
While t' ey have increased the price of all
the necessaries of life by thebr infamous poli
cy, official plundering and partisan legisla
tion, ther has been no corresponding in
crease in >e wages of industry.
They have built up a thieving, swindling
banking system, that picks out of the pock
ets of the people from twenty-five to thirty
millions a year.
They have reduced ten States to the con
dition of subject provinces, where all the
rights of the people are at the will of tbe
infamous miscreants like Sickles and*Pope,
and where tbe nigger is politically the supe
rior of the white roan.
They have disfranchised ten million* of
our own race and blood.
They have trampled under fool the great
vital principle of free government, that tax
ation and representation shon'd be insepara
ble. f
They bare deprived the President of his
constitution! authority and power, and cre
ated in the place of the departments an over
shadowing usurpation iu the form of a Con
gressional oligarchy.
They have inflicted eternal disgrace upon
the country by the murder of an innocent
woman, through such devil’s instruments as
Holt and .-tanton.
They have made a mockery of tbe ballot
in Tennessee and Missouri, where innocent
men are hung through the connivance of
Brownlow. Fletcher and their bell hounds.
They hive broken every Congressional
and other pledge which they made when
they trick' 1 the country into adoption and
prosecutio:. of the war policy.
They have let loose a flood of epies aod
detectives i *er the land, and suborned per
jurers U,,.. t awav the lites of innocent
men and women.
They have provoked bloody collisions in
the South, and then fabricated therefrom,
through the instrurnenta'iiy of paid agents
and correspondents, infamous lies, with
which to fire the Radical heart.
They have concocted, through such degra
ded Wretches and black-hearted miscreants
as Ashley and Butler, most devilish plots for
the ruin of their political opponents.
They have reduced the agricultural and
producing portion of the country to a state
of tributary vassalage to the manufacturing
monopolies of Puritania.
Tney are now engaged in a deep conspira
cy to change the form of our government
and reduce the North to the same condition
as the South.
Such are the acts, such the designs of the
Radical party.
Cotton. —The cotton crop in this coanty
has been seriously injured by the worm. It
is now thought that the yield will not be
more than a third. In the adjoining coun
ties, the worm has not done so much damage,
and the hope is entertained that a full half
crop will be realised. On the bottom lands
the crop is almost totally destroyed. But for
this disaster, the yield of cottou would have
been the largest ever known.— Texas Rep.
A Reconstructed State. —Tennessee is
a specimen of what a State is, “reconstruc
ted," on the Jacobin Congressional plan.—
Only Federal arms and Federal soldiers keep
the peace there, and without them, civil war
would break out in all quarters. Drownlow,
for the last example, sends his ‘military’ to
Nashville, to force a cky election,—and the
citizens resist. Gen. Thomas is sent there,
to keep the peace between there. Per contra,
in Kentucky and Maryland,—where there
has been no Congressional reconstruction, —
i peace and- order e*ist on all sides.
Reconstruct the ten Slates South, now
‘•unreconstructed,” on the Tennessee Brown
low Congress plan, and a Federal army,
there, as in Poland and Hungary, will ever
be necessary to keep the peace,—and we
Northern tax paying blockheads will ever be
footing the bill.— Banner of Liberty.

Steadman—A Future Lowell.
This is a village in Newton County, Geor
gia, not to be found on the latest maps, but
which, with great natural advantages, an
.enterprising proprietor and capital, bids fair
to hfirvill or M ulcbester at no
distant day. At this place, three miles weft
of Covington, the Yellow river falls first
over an abrupt shoal of thirty-five feet
in one hundred and fifty yards, and, after
ward, over a more gradual shoaJ, twenty nine
t feet within half a mile, sixty-four feet fall,
1 within so small a distance, with an abun
-1 dance of water—all available—andi stes f>r
dozens of manufacturing ertablisbrrents,
need no comments to the engineer in search
.of “water power.’’ The upper fall, it is esti
mated, will drive 150 000 spindles, which is
said to be double the capacity of the largest
mil! in the Uuited States. Tbe lower shoal
will drive 500 looms, besides as many paper
mills, bone crusher*, hat,factories, & dec.,
as can be conveniently located along a canal
half a mile in length.
At present, the village of Steadman in
clude* two cotton mills, a saw mill, a flrnr
mill, one store, aod the necessary shops and
tenement bouses belonging to such establish
ments. The yarns, battings, Sec., of the
cotton mills find inarkst in many of tbe
States ; while the excellent flour from Geor
gia wheat is too popular to ba allowed to go
much beyond the State.
Tbe above property is now owned almost
exclusively by Col. Enoch Steadman, of Cov
ington, Georgia. When he made his first
purchase in 1804, be obtained only part con
trol of the mills, &e., at the upper falls, and
consequently be aimed to develope the
lower shoal of-twontymine feet, which be
longed to him. Becoming satisfied with
the value of this power, after a leveling sur
vey by Prof. 8. P. Sxndfprd, of Mercer Uni
versity, he threw another dam across tbe
river near tbe head of the lowor fall, and has
led from this down the river a substantial
stone race, whi.-.h will be continued by an
earth cutting and fi ling to the end of the
fall. IL.-re lie contemplates erecting a mag-
nificent cotton mill for weaving and dyeing
cotton, calicoes, Sec. Since the time of the
survoy be has obtained control of the whole
water-power, and designs enlarging the up
per mills, erecting the lower, and distributing
along the canal a paper mill, phosphate
manufactory, foundry. Ac., Sea., according to
the capital at bis command.
Col. Bteadman is practically acquainted
with the details of cotton mil's, having serv
ed in every position, from that of the hum
blest cotton-picking boy to that of superin
tendent and proprietor. His present hand
some fortune is tbe rssult of industry, energy
and judjeious business talents. What he
has thus gained he freely spends in acts of
.hospitality and in every worthy cause of be*
nevalence. Numbers of disabled soldiers
have been kept at school through his liber
ality, and hundreds have shared his kind
charities on an humbler scale.
The Stale lias cause to Congratulate itself

ces ; and capitalists may find it to their in
terest to inqtire further into the policy of
investing their surpl is moneys in the ex
pansion of the works at Steadman.

A Tolerably Fair Sign.
We are not of those who are very san
guine about the defeat of the radical party
this year. The “cohesive power of lh6 pub
lic plunder” is a defence for the ruling party
that is hard to overcome. But the astute
editor of the New York Timex gives ns a
“sign of the times,” by veryempbatically re
nouncing parties. The Times s#va: “Mr.
Raymond considers himself out of politics,
certainly out of all party movements, and
intends to remain so.” Pretty positive. Mr.
Raymond was a member of the Conservative
Republican delegation to the recent Conven
lion in Syracuse, which was refused admis- 1
sion. If there is any reliance in the forecast
of this gentleman, the Radical house is
about to fall under the wind and (he ram.
If he did not think so, he would probably be
the last man to leave it!— R. Dispatchi

Principle vs. Expediency.
We recommend to the petusal and .com
mendation of our readers, ex
tract from R-.v. Dr. Dabney’s recently pub
lished • Defence of Virginia, and thfough her,
of tho South
1 The most, fearful consequences o f the
despotic government to which tbe Sputh is
plundering of our
goods, nor the abridgment of privileges, nor
the death of innocent men, but the degrading
and debauching of the moral sensibilities
and principles of the helpless victims. The
weapon of arbitrary rulers is physical force :
the shield of its victims i> usually evasion
and duplicity. Again : a few minds and
consciences have that stable independence
which remains erect and undabauched amidst
the disappointments, anguish, amldLisses of
def at, and the desertion of numbers, aud the
obloquy of a lost cause. Hence it has usu
ally been found, iu the history of subjugated
nation*, that they receive at the hands of
their conquerors this crowning woe—a de»
praved, cringing, and cowardly spirit. The
wisest, kindest, most patriotic thing which
any man can do for his eountry, amidst such
calamities, is to aid in preserving, and rein
stating the tottering principles of his coun*
trymen; to teach them, while they give place
to iuelorable force to abate notliiug of right*
teous conviction and of self-respect. And
in his work he is as really a benefactor of
the conquerors as of tho conquered. For
thus ho aid* in preserving that precious seed
of men, who* are men of principle, and nol
of expediency ; who alone (if any can) are
able to reconetruot society, after the tumult
of faction shall h«7e spent its rage upon the
foundation of truth and justice. The men
at the North who have stood firmly aloof from
the errors and crimes of this revolution, and
the men at lh% South who have not been un
manned and debauched by defeat —these are
the men whom Providence will call forth
from Their sec'usioo, when the fury of fanata
icism shall Lave done its worst, to repair its
mischiefs, and save America from chronic anv
areby and barbarism; if indeed, any rescue
is desighed for us.”,_
llouskuold Hints.—Save your suds for
garden pl&nta, or for garden yards, when
sandy.
Wash your tea trays wKh cold suds, pol
ish with a little fiiur, and rub with a dry
cloth.
Frozen potatoes make more "starch than
fresh ones f they also make nice cake.
A hot shovel held over varn’shed furniture
will take out the white spot3.
A bit of gfue dissolved in skim milk and
flour will restore old crape.
Ribbons of all kinds should be washed iu
cold soap suds, and not rinsed.
If your flat irons are rough, rub them with
fine salt, and it will make them smooth.
Oat straw is the best thing for filling bed-;
it should be changed 1 once a year.
If you are buying carpets for durability,
choose small figures.
A bit of soap rubbed on hinges of doors
will prevent their creaking.
Scotch snuff put in holes where crickets
come out will desteoy them.
Half of a cranberry on a corn will kill it.

pounds from Hawaii, of the very choicest Sea
Island Cotton. That from Hawaii was rais
ed by a native, who received $350 for cotton
brought down this week, including a premi
um of SIOO, which he had earned, and who
has been paid nearly SI,OOO fjr cotton de
livered by him during the past twelve months.
This would indicate that the article can be
grown here in certain localities, although on
the Island of Oahu the cultivation of it has
nearly ceased, owing to the caterpillars and
drought, which entirely destroyed the plant
ations in 1866. There are certain tracts of
Lw moist land near the sea on each of the
islands, both on the wheatber and lee sid a s,
where thi3 plant will thrive better than any
thing else, and these are the localities which
should be selected —the nearer the sea the
better ; and of soils, sandy soil is the best.—-
Any foreigner, who has the land, can engage
profitably in cotton growing, with very lit
tle outlay for capital. The reward of his la
bor, on favorable soil, will be from fifty to
s4icty dollars an acre, though good manage--
raent may, perhaps, increase it to eighty or
a hundred dollars. Sugar cane does not av
erage this return to cultivators, to say noth
ing of having to wait three times as long
for the pay.
A minister having pfeached the same
discourse to his people three times, one
of his constant hearers said to him after
service : “ Doctor, the sermon you gave
us this morning has had three several
readings 1 , I move that it now be passed.”
