GREENSBORO, GA., OCTOBER 12,1867. 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.” Cincinnati Enquirer. Dr. Johnson srys : “Good actions are never lost or thrown away."’ That is probably the reason why one seldom meets with them. The veriest blockhead can pull down a house, but it requires a good mechanic to build one. Whenever you see young men spend ing their leisure hours at jsome resort of gaming or some other amusement, it is a sure sign they will never become great men. The wife of Mendez is insane ; the wife of Mejia is mad ; the wife of Mira mon is stricken beyond hope of recovery, and the Princess of Salm-Salm is in jail. Bad place for unprotected females, Mexi co. It is proposed, in England, to make a law obliging writers in newspapers and reviews to sign their names to their arti cles. Why is a lovely young lady like a hinge ? Because she is something to adore (a door.) Our Devil says*be would have no objec tion to being “sent to grass,” if it was on a widow's patch. As to the yellow Jhyer in Galveston, Mr. Bell writes : “Language fails to describe the consequence of its ravages. Hope has fled and absolute desolation pervades every household, with no pros pect of a speedy change.” The promised land—forty acres apiece to the freedtnen.' —Louisville Journal. The largest bit of timber ever taken out of the Canadian forests came down the other day. It measures fifty-six inches square. 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 ple of young ladies were in Frankfort, Mon day last, seeking pardon for a relative. The Governor was absent, and they were stand ing before the door of the office eagerly 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. Not Invites'.—-We notice from an ex change that this was the reply given by a farmer to a tradesman, when asked, “why don’t you trade with roe f” “I ha7e looked over our loeal paper thoroughly, and do not find an invitation.

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 bn this development of her natural resour 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. J. E. W. Fenfiald, Ga., September 10, 1807. A handsome young widow applied to a physician to relieve her of three distressing complaints, with which she was effected. “In the first place,” said she, “I have little or no appetite. What shall I take for that V* “For that madam, yotf should take air and exercise.” “And, doctor, I am quite fidgetty at night time, and afraid to be alone. Wfiat shall I lake for that f “For that, madam, I can only recommend that you take a husband.” “Fie ! doctor. But I have the blues terri bly. What shall I take for that f” “For that, madam, you have, besides ta king air and a husband to take the newspa per.” Sensible doctor, that. 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 VOL. 2. NO 25 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. Cotton Raising in the Sandwich Is lands. —The Honolulu Commercial Adver tiser of July 20, has the following statements about cotton racing at the Sandwich Islands : The sceooner Nettie Merrill brought from Niiltau, a few days ago some 6,500 pound', and the steamer Kona Packet some 4,000 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.”
