THE HERALD. BY JOHN K. SPENCE, .GREENSBORO, GA : S A'l l Rl>A\ MORNING. : : : OCT. 12, $67 from i lie G«oq(to Knterprto* / SHALL WE VOTE ? On thin subject the people arc vert much at a hied to determine as to what course is most advisable. The act of Congress under which the appruaclWg election is ordered, was de signed to-thwart the wishes of the voters. The proviso contained in the third section of the Supplemental Ileonstruction Bill, is so con atructed, that only one fourth of the registered voters may call the rends as follows: * *>n> < Section 3, That at said election, the regis tered voters of each State shall vote for or against a Convention to form a Constitution therefor, under this act. Those voting m favor of such a Convention shall have written or printed on their ballots by which they vote for delegates as aforesaid, the words “For a Con vention.” Those voting against such Conven tion shall have written or printed on such ballots the words “Against a Convention. Persons appointed to superintend said elestion and to make return of votes given for and sgainSt a Convention, and the commanding General to whom the same shall have been returned, shall ascertain and declare the total vote in each State, for and against a Convention. If a majority of the votes given on that ques tion shall be for a Convention, then such Con vention slmll be held, as hereinafter provided : but if a majority of said votes shall be against a Convention, then no such Convention sbull be held under this act; provided that such Convention shnlftiot be held unless a majority of all such registered voters shall have voted on the question of holding such a Convention. In consideration of the hopelessness of de footing the Convention by voting against it, since the law counts cvevy vote cast on the question in making up the one half of the reg istered voters necessary to the holding of the Convention, the most effectual way of opposing It, will be to refrain from voting at all on that question. At the some time, it will be practi cable for any who wish to do so* to vote for the men of their choice for the members of the Convention, without endorsing on their tickets •ither “Fur a Convention," or “Against ft Convention.” Such a vote would be practi cally against the bolding of a Convention, and yot if it is held, would give the voter’s support to the men of his choice. Ccrtaiuly, the Convention, if held at all, should be composed as far as possible of our best and ablest men. The power which it wil 1 wield would be exceedingly dangerous in the hands of ignorant and wicked men. The sub mission of its work to the popular vote is by no means a guarantee that they can do no mischief; since in these days of rudical innovations there is no assurance that the real voters of the State will be allowed to vote on its adoption or rejection. Tlic Chronicle A Sentinel endorses the fol lowing remarks of the Constitutionalist on this subject. From the adroitness and party jnggling manifested by registration in this State, not less than from the sweeping disfranchisements ot Congress, ft is very generally conceded that the friends of Convention out numlier their opponents. It is idle, therefore, to vote against a Convention with the hope of defeating it; but, inasmuch as Congress lias ordained that, without a majority of registered votes, the Convention question becomes a dead one, it would not l>o amiss for those who have hitherto opposed the call to abstain from voting, with •t lenst, the chance of helping by such vis inertia: to cause the scheme to fail by default of the necessary ballot. This we hold to he the only method left; anil is perhaps, the better alternative of washing our bands of a dirty business. We will retire from a contest where laurels are impossible and leave the field to negroes and white moun tebanks wbn may revel, for a time, in the tri umph of villainy, but shall not revel forever, unless the people of this country arc knaves and imbeciles. In reference to the policy of abstaining from voting the Chronicle A Sentinel says: •'This plan of abstaining from voting lias jmt been tried in Alabama. It was not .stig gested very generally in the State until within a few days of the election. In many parts of the State the Conservatives were not fully ad vised as to the course which their friends would pursue. The returns, however, so far as received, show that if the Convention is not defeated in that Siate, the majority for it will be very small. Fiom partial returns of the two first day? voting in fifteen counties which we find in the Montgomery Advertiser, it ap pears that hut 35,528 votes were cast where there had been 61,400 registered. We are quite confident that tire Convention can be defeated in this State if the Conservatives will abstain from voting on the question. Many thou«and of the registered voters will not vote, and it to these be added the Conservative ►trength \vc have strong grounds for the hope that the iniquities of the Sherman bill cannot be saddled upon us.” liuild Factories. The communication of “J E. W., which we copy from tho Chronicle if Sentinel, is on a subject of vital importance to all who desire to see the South regain its rightful position and influence. The agricultural resources of our •ectiort. which rendered it unnecessary to econ omic and avail ourselves of our natural ad vantages for manufacturing, have been so ma terially crippled by the events of the last few years that it becomes necessary now to give some attention to other resources. The im mense water power afforded by our rivers has hitherto been almost ontirely unimproved.— This should not have been so even in prosper ous times: at such a time as the present it is almost criminal to allow it. The natural advantages at Steadman, only require the attention invited by this writer from capitalists to develope a very remunera tive busines, and build a thriving city. an our people longer afford to overlook' so impor tant a source of wealth ? Let this and similar enterprise** be fostered for the development of the inexaustible resources of this favored sec tion, and instead of Bending all the proceeds of our staple production to enrich a foreign peo ple, the wealth can be retained in our midst and applied to tire adornment of our own sec tion. Let this matter be well considered by cur capitalists and enterprising men, and the irdependunce we could not achieve on the l>al tle field will be established by {.eaceful means. (Communicated.) The Improvement of Impoverished Soils. The present condition of the greater portion of arable lands is becoming a matter of some interest to the thinking and reflective husband man, and should become the common interest of the population en masse. The tilling of the soil is regarded by some who take a narrow and limited view of it, as a low calling, which pub lic opinion seems to accede to without the why or wherefore. Yet there is not a remunerative profession known to man that is not dependent upon the prnductiTe interest of hi* country. — Without subsistence from the hnnds of the producer, the entire train of industrial pursuits would be a total fuilure. lienee the necessity of increasing the productiveness of the soil in stead of making it poorer, year after year, It is no difficult matter to ascout the impov erished condition of the soils Vow in cultivation, which in thoir original primitive condition were of average fertility, and gave paying returns Pi *the efforts of the husbandman, which were used in’a prodigal manner without ever returning any portion of his crop to the soil, for repro duction, except a scant quantity of seed ; and all that could' be raised each year was carried off the soil, and none returned, in some instan ces for a period of fifty year*, in which time the best tillable land will become poor and unfit for cultivation, the yield being too small to be re munerative. Great cities are now, and ever have been, the devastators of earth. There has been enough of the elements of bread and meat, wool, and cotton, drawn from the surface of the earth and carried to London and buried in the ground, or washed into the 1 hames, to feed and clothe the human family a hundred years, un der a judicious system of economy. W ith so long a drain, and such a great spectre of nov erty, it would seem an insurmountable task to restore the soil to its original productiveness, with the seemingly few available means at band. Yet the task will not be so difficult when once rightly commenced, ns it seemingly presents itself to be. The first step toward* the work is to properly considertho available means, and the surrounding natural advantages that can be used. It is a certain atiom that no tangible and visible existing tiling in nature, con be de stroyed. It may be lemoved by certain ngents from a given place, and its parts separated—as by fire we remove the wood of the forest — and separate its component parts; yet every element of its structure still exists, and is available to the use of plants in forming a new structure. So with the animal as the vegetable kingdom. Although one weave his spell, or play his part upon the «tago of action —a vital life cease—the elements of their structure are still in nature for tbo production of now life. Even the elements of the blood that coursed the veins of Napoleon, are pulsa ting in animation to-day. Ihe system of Na ture is too correct to wasto away. This being the case, we have only to aid Nature in restor ing our own devastation of the soil. Nature neither plows nor hoos, yet she makes good crops; nnd bv a continuous return of foliage, culms, and fibers, to which it is grown, the soil is mulched, and upon the decay of annual deposits, is enriched and made loamy and allu vial. The barest and most galldeu spots of the country being abandoned by the husband man for teu or twenty years, will become cov ered with vegetation, and from the annual re turns to earth of foliage, wooded fiber, Ac., will form a surface mould that will pay again to oultivate. So it is an illustrated fact that the want is vegetable matter upon the soil to keep it from leaching away by rains, and to catch tho gasses that float over its surfaco and produce sufficient fiber for decomposition to strengthen a successive growth ; after which, naturally and properly managed, it will annu ally improve. Any soil may he exhausted by the absenee of vegetation. If twenty-five loads of well rotted stable manure should be put up on an acre of land, and that aoro be kept plowed and hoed, and not a sprig of vegetation to grow upon it in twenty five years, there would not be an atom of the manure on the acre of land, at tho close of that period.— Humboldt, after a life of travel and close ob servation, was of opinion that if all the vegeta tion was stripped from the face of the earth that every running stream would go dry ; nnd if that should he so, the world would become a Sahara, nnd all animate nature would cease to exist. A knowledge of the most useful farm imple ments, machines, fertilizers, Ac., can be bad through publications upon this subject; and by giving views in farmers’ associations, or from actual experiments, as there is a great variety of soils. Locality and Temperature. A good acre of arable land in Middle Georgia is worth as much for husbandry ns in any spot that it can < be placed upon the globe. The seusens being long enough to make two crops a year—having as much pure air and sunshine for the ripeniog of cereals, as any known part of the world. There are probably few who have thonglit of the benefits of pure sunshine. It gives to veg etation the green tinges, and to the flower its hue, Without it no cereal would come to maturity, nnd till animate nature would cease to exist. A Correspondent. The New York correspondent of the Charles ton Mercury, writing of the situation and pros pect of that state, says: The first is good, and the second steadily improving. General Apathy has possession of the Radical camp, and the leaders have scarcely a hop# of getting him out. They have managed, though, by adjourning the constitutional convention, to keep negro suffrage out of the struggle, and, by backing down on the liquor question, they have saved, perhaps, a few thousand German votes. But tho reac tionary feeling in the rural districts is increas ing, and the sensible nnd candid men of the party confess that the State is almost certain to go against them in November. Th* Democ racy, on the other hand, never exhibited more energy and confidence than they do to-day.— There is only one danger in their wav and that is that the State convention, which meets on the 3d inst., may put some dead issues in the plat form. If the convention will let tbe past alone, and bring out candidates and a platform adapt ed to the times, the Democracy will sweep the State like a hurricane. Thiai. or Mr. Davis.— The Washington cor respondent of the Charleston Mercury says; As the day for the trial of Mr. Davis draws nigh, the usual amount of speculation is afloat concerning that event. Radical newspaper correspondents are endeavoring to create the impression that the President is moving in the matter, and seeking to have the trial postponed. He could not do this, even were he so disposed. He has no power or authority in the premises, as the case rests wholly with the Judicial De partment of the government and not with the Executive. Without making any prediction* in regard to the matter, I will simply state that the general opinion here is that Mr. Davis will not be tried at all. -i» '• The Herald's Washington dispatch says, on the subject of the amnesty, the Cabinet is said to be a unit. In the cussion of the amnesty proclamation the Cabinet agreed that its legal effect would be to relieve excluded whites from disas bility as to the exercise of the right of suffrage. Impeachment. Senator Howard, of Michigan, has writen a «iettcr, to appear ia the Chronicle, arguing that there is no more ground for the objection that Senators who have expressed an opinion on impeachment shall not sit on the trial, than there is ground for rejecting a juror in a mur der case because he lias expressed an opinion on the abstract question of murder. Musical Accent. At a trial in the Court of King’s Bench be tween certain publishing Tweedledums and Tweediedces, as to an alleged piracy of an ar rangement of ‘The Old English Gentleman,' T. Cooke was subpoenaed ns a witness. On cross examination by Sir James Scarlett, that learned counsel rather flippantly said: ‘Now sir you say the two melodies are the same, but different, what do you mean, sir?’ Tom promptly answered: ‘I said that the notes in tho two copies were alike, but with a different accent.’ Sir James: What is a musical ac cent?’ Cooke: ‘My terms are a guinea a les son sir.’ (A loud laugh.)—Sir James (rather ruffled:) ‘Don’t mind your terms here. I ask yon what is a musical accent?’ Can you see it?’ Cooke:‘No.’—Sir James ; ‘Can you feel it?' Cooke: ‘A musician can.’ (Great laugh ter.) —Sir James (very angrily,) ‘Now, pray, sir, don’t beat about the bush; but tell his lordship and the jury, who are supposed to know nothing about it, the meaning of what you call accent?’ Cooke: “Accent in music is a stress laid on any particular note—as you would lay a stress on any given word, for the purpose of being better understood. If I were to say you are an ass, it rests on an; but were I to say you are an nss, it rests on you, Sir Jams*.’ Reiterated shouts of laughter by the court, in which the bench joined, followed Xliis repartee. Silence being obtained, Den man, the judge with much seeming gravity, accosted the chopfallen counsel: ‘Are you sat isfied, Sir James ?’ Sir James, deep red as he naturally was, had become Scarlett in more than name, and, in a great huff, said; ‘The witness may go down.’ Tub Great Possum. —Whenever Thad Ste vens causes the telegraph to declare him at death’s door, wc know he is playing possum. That dropsy of the chest ha* subsided. He is again well and busy over his little schemes. It is now announced that he will visit his fur naco and the Upper Lakes. A savage critic growls that he “had better visit the furnace in oonjuuotion with the lower lake.”—Constitu tionalist. When the celebrated Patrick Henry: of Vir ginia, was near the close of his life, and in feeble health, he laid his band on the Bible, and addressed a friend who was with him : “Here is a book worth more than all others printed ; yet it is my misfortune never to have read it with proper attention until lately.” About the same time he wrote to his daughter: “I have heard it said that Deists have claimed me. The thought pained me more than the appel lation of Tory ; for I consider religion of in finitely higher importance than politics, and I find much cause to reproach myself that I have lived so long and given no decided public proof of my being a Christian.” Hetties from Dean Swift. If a man will observe, as he walks the streets, I believe he will find the merriest faces in mourning coaches. , The reason why so few marriages are happy, is because young ladies spend their time iu making nets, not in making cages. We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another. The power of fortune is confessed on ly by tho miserable; for the happy im pute all their success to prudence and merit. Love of flattery, in most men, proceeds from the mean opinion they have of themselves ; in women from the contrary. If a man makes me keep my distance, the comfort is, he keeps his at the same time. —««► - ■»! - A person applying for the benefit of the bankrupt law cannot obtain a dis charge from his debts if he has lost any part of his estate in gaming within four months of the filing of the application. Don’t Do It. —Young man, don’t do it. Don’t marry dimples, nor eyes, nor mouth, nor chin, nor neck, nor simpers. These bits and scraps of femininity are mighty poor things to tie to. Marry the true thing. Look after congeniality, kindred sympathies, disposition, educa tion, and if these be joined with social nosition or even a little lucre, why don’t iet them stand in the way. Get a wo man, not one of those parlor lay figures, one of those automatons that sit down just so, thump on a piano and dote on a moustache. Living statues are poor things to call it to requisition when bread and beef are to be provided. The poor little mind that can hardly fathom the depth of a dress trimming, can’t be a help meet of any account. Don’t throw away your time on it. Why is a prudent man like a pin ? Be cause his head prevents him from going too far. When a man wants money or assis tance, the world as a rule, is very obli ging and indulgent and lets him want it‘ When have married people passed through the alphabet of love ?

Now, therefore, be it known that I, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, do hereby declare and proclaim that the said words ‘thirteenth of June, 1865,’ are to be re garded as erroneous in the paragraph adverted to, and that the words ‘second day of April, 1806’ are to be considered as substituted there for.
