STONEWALL JACKSON.
BY N. WniOUT, M. P.
Weep Virginia—he has fallen—
Noblest of that gallant band,
Who have poured their blood like water,
Fighting for their native land;
Falling as their fathers perished,
For their country—guard his fame ;
And side by side with Washington,
Inscribe great Stonewall's name.
In that valley let him slumber,
Gently lay him there to rest,
ifrUh kin battle-flag around huu—
The titered toil upon his breast:
No dearer home, alive, he’d covet,
Or dead, no prouder spot of earth,
Whose friends shall come ami truly woship,
Above that grave of noblest worth..
Rest in i»cace—great Jackson—
Upon lliy mother's breast,
lu the Volley of Virginia,
Where thy earlier years were blest,
Ere yet tiiy country called thee
From the peaceful walks of life,
To lend tby stalwart mountain men.
To the just and glorious strife.
Rest in peace—no brighter glory
Ever shone on mortal brow,
Better sleep in that dear Valley.
Than to live the conquered now;
Crushid and humbled great Virginia—
Mother of such noble men—
Living only in the shadows
Os the past—of what lias been.
Belter die the death of freemen,
Fighting for a glorious cause,
Than to live the life of cravens,
Subject to the tyrant's laws;
Die with no stain oil your honor,
Die with laurels on your brow,
Live in ever dear remembrance
Os a people prostrate now.
From the \\ ihl and monntain fastness
See the stalwart legions pour,
Like the mountain torrents onward,
When swells their Shenandoah ;
No burrier can resist them,
No banks restrain their tide,
Nor Shields protect the minions,
For God is on their side.
See their rapid stvoop like eagles,
When they pounce upon their prey,
Strike their blows so quick, decisive,
Then as quickly glide awny ;
Here to-day—far off to-morrow;
Only resting hut for prayer;
Where the hardest fighting cnlls them,
You may look and find them there.
For home —for freedom — for their country,
They have left the smiling vales,
Where the sweetest sunlight lingers,
Where the mildest moonbeam pales;
Oh! such beauty they will never
See, till o'er the Stygian stream
They have passed to fields of glory,
And have gained the soldier's dream.
Hearts will bleed great drops of anguish,
Eyes will never dry again,
Os those widows, sistera, mothers,
Mourning o’er their heroes slain,
Future ages shall Idess them,
Tiieir tears be changed for gems in gold,
As the dark and damning story
Os this wicked war is told
Open v. idc the gates of glory
For the “ rebel soldiers ’’ now,
Wreath the euapiet fit for heroes.
Place it on his noble brow;
Earth can claim him now no longer,
Nought of Stonewall left but fume
Christian soldier, sage and hero,
All were blended with that name.
THE SUIT Of"rUBSET BROWN
BY r.I.IZA COOK,
A maided once a lover had,
Who breathed the truest siglra;
But simple wns this lover clad,
In dark and lowly guise.
So nil his wooing was in vain—
She scorned his present grade ;
She tossed her head and mocked his pain.
And laughed at all lie said.
“ No, no,” cried she, “ the tale would be
A jest for all the town ;
I'll wed not you, who wears, forsooth,
A suit of russet brown.”
He offered tier a gentle bird,
Whose plumage, it was true,
Gave forth no sheen of glossy grecD,
No scarlet, gold or blue.
She looked upon him witli an eye
That flashed with kindling pride,
Witli head uplift she scorned the gift.
And thrust the cage aside
“ No, no,” cried she, with pomiioua airs,
“ Such boon I would not own;
For like yourself, it only wears
A suit of russet brown.”
When next site met the youth, he wore
A doublet of high cost;
The bird's sweet song was heard to pour,
But youth and bird were lost.
The maiden then bewailed her fate,
She bMmcd her scornful mirth,
And thought, but ah! she thought too late,
“ Plain garbs may cover worth.’’
Then, ladies, list—the lesson learn—
Be wary how you frown;
Think twice ere once ye rudely spurn
A suit of russet brown

A RECONSTRUCTION FABLE.
Once upon a time, sonic foxes and a
bear went into partnership, and occu
pied the Baaio cave. They lived
peaceably’ for many years, linding the
bear of ”rcat advantage to them, for
he contributed more than the foxes did
to the common support, and he did
most of the lighting in a great battle
that they once had with a lion. Hut
at last there arose a family quarrel,
and it came about in this way.
When winter came it was the habit
of the bear to stop work and spend
the #ho!n of his time in the have suck
ing his paws, and in this way he en
joyed himself hugely.
The foxes seeing how well the bear
got on without work and how be en
joyed himself, commenced sucking
their paws, but some how or other
they found they could not make a
living in that way, as the bear could,
and that on the whole it didn't pay;
so they had to give it up and go out in
to the cold an ' forage for a living as
usual. Then they began to envy the
bear, because lie apfieored to enjoy
himself and to live so much easier
than they did, and took, up a violent
hatred against him just because he
sucked bis paws.
They passed a law that the sucking
of paws should be abolished forever
amongst foxes, and they began to re
monstrate with the boar upon the im
propriety of his conduct, and petition
iiitn to give up tho horrible practice.
But the bear said lie would do no
such thing; that it was agreed upon
when they first went into partnership
that he should be allowed to suck his
paws in pence; that lie bad a consti
tutional right to do so ; that it was
necessary for his comfort and happi
ness, and that suck his paws he would
do to the end of time, aud the foxes
had uo right to interfere with him.
Then the foxes got up anti-paw
sucking societies, which declared that
paw-sucking was the sum of all vil
lainies, and they preached at the bear,
and petitioned him, and even went so
far as to pull bis paws out of his
mouth, at which the bear got into
such rage that he declared that he
would dissolve partnership with the
foxes and leave the cave and set up
business for himself. But the foxes
told him that lie hod no right to leave,
and that he shouldn't leave. The
bear said he would not ask them any
odds; that he could whip a thousand
miserable little foxes, ‘good-by,’ and
proeectlcd to walk out of the cave and
left it forever. But lie had hardly got
•out of the cave before the foxes set
up a tremendous howl and fell on
him, and there was such a fight as
was hardly ever seen before. The
bear flung the foxes right aud left,
slapped t hem over, crushed them, and
tore them to nieces, and oftimes
thought lie had got rid of them, but
the more foxes he killed the more
they seemed to increase in number,
for the foxes, finding that the bear
was getting the better of them, and was
about to get off, sent out and hired
some foreign foxes to help them, so
that ns fast as one set of foxes were
Killed, other foxes were put in their
place, and the bear had no rest. But
lie stood at bay and kept the foxes oil
sis last as they came up. Finally, the
foxes, finding that they could not
whip him a fair fight, determined to
starve him out, so they surrounded
him complete; so that he could get
nothing to cat or drink. The bear
then began to suffer severely, and to
grow thin and weak, aud in his dis
tress he called on the eagle and liou
to come aud help him, but they told
him he must do iiis own fighting. At
last flic bear became so completely
exhausted by hunger and fatigue that
lie could scarcely stand up, and the
foxes thinking they might now make
a venture, collected together in great
numbers and fell upon the bear and
wolloped him so that he stopped light
ing and cried “ Enough 1” and said
that he would go back into the cave
again and carry on business as liefore.
But the foxes told him to wait a
while, he must have his disabilities
removed. So they tied him hand and
foot with strong cords and muzzled
him; and placed a strong guard
around him, and began to parley with
him and persecute him. They told
him before they let him go back into
the cave again he must take a solemn
oatli of allegiance to the fox govern
ment. The liear took the prescribed
oath, and said, “ Now let me in.”—
But the foxes said not yet, you must
take another oath that paw sticking
is unconstitutional, and swear never
again to suck your paws. The liear
took the oath also, and even went so
for as to declare that paw sucking bad
been a disadvantage to him, and that
he was glad that he was forced to
give up the abominable practice, and
after taking this oath and making
this confession, he said, “Now let me
in.” But the foxes said uot yet; you
must eat a little dirt first. At this
the bear was iudignant—lie declared
that he had never eaten any dirt in
his life, and that it did not agree with
him, but the foxes said, no matter you
must eat a little, just a little, and the
bear made a wry face, and took a
mouthful of dirt aud cat it, and said,
“ Now let me in.” But tho foxes said
not yet; you must eat more dirt, and
again lie said, “ now let me in.” But
the foxes said not yet, you burnt eat
dirt enough. The liear then began to
eat dirt ravenously, until his abdomen
swelled out like a Iliggar Indian’s,
and said, “ now let ntc in.” But the
foxes said, wait awhile longer; you
must become peuitent, and learn to
bear anil forbear. The liear was now
in a miserable plight; he was nearly
starved to death, aud was covered
with wounds and sores from tho crown
of liia head to the sole of his feet, anti
thousands of blue bellied flies taking
advantage of his defenseless condition,
had settled upon him, aud were feed
ing on Itta sores, and fattening on
his poverty, and every time the bear
attempted to shake off these flics, the
foxes said he was still rebellious, end
was trying to get away, nnd took oc
casion to tighten his cords nnd to
persecute him. They told him that
he must not disturb the flies, but love
them ant! let them cat. Aud the bear
let the flies alone and let them cat,
and said, •“ndw let me in.” But the
foxes said, “ wait a little longer; we
arc afraid if we let you in you won't
do, but will rebel again and leave us,
and get back to your old practice of
paw sucking; you must give us guar
antees for your good behavior.” And
so the foxes kept putting off and tan
talizing the poor bear, and he is out
side of the cave to this day, and if he
complains the foxes make fun of him
aud cal! him old sore head.
Mr. Dat In.
l’ostmaster General Reagan, of the
late Confederacy, in a letter to the
Galveston News, vindicates Mr. Davis
from some accusations made against
him by J ndgo Evans, of Texas. They
charged him with excessive care of
his money bags, and with a scheme
for a Western Empire beyond the
Mississippi. Mr. Reagan completely
answers them all and vindicates Mr.
Davis. They were together in the
journey front Richmond, nnd contin
ued together for a long way. The
first idea of Mr. Davis was to form a
junction between I.cc aud Johnson,
and thus make a stand. But failing
in that, ami hearing of the surrender
of first Lee then Johnson, Mr. Davis
nud his advisers determined to cross
the Mississippi, and if possible to con
tinue the struggle there, only with the
same views that governed him in Rich
mond. But the treasure still held by
the Confederacy ho left entirely in
charge of others, and, showing eutirc
self-denial, moved iu advance. Mr.
Reagan makes the following state
ment':
“ In coining through South Carolina,
lie and myself, riding ahead of out
company, passed a cabin on the road
side, when he asked a woman who
was standing in the door for a drink
of water. On handing it to him, site
saitl:‘Arc you President Davis V On
his replying in the affirmative, she
saitl to him, pointing to a little boy
barely large enough to walk a little,
‘That is your namesake; we call him
Jeff Davis.’ He took from his pocket
a gold coin, apparently the size of a
three dollar piece or sovereign, and
handing it to her, told her to give it
to the little boy, saying to me, as he
rode off, that that was his last piece
of coin, which he had kept as a sort
of keepsake on account of its being a
coin Seldom seen in this country.
“Subsequently, when iu company
with several members of his cabinet,
tiie subject of their finances was men
tioned, anil their poverty was made,
among themselves, the subject of pass
ing amusement. Mr. Davis took out
his pocket book and counted. 1 think,
about $275 in Confederate Treasury
notes, then almost entirely worthless,
and said, laughingly, that was his for
tune in money. He then added that
it was a source of gratification rather
than of regret that himself and nearly
all the members of his cabinet had
sacrificed their private fortunes in the
struggle for the liberty of the people.
I will also add, that when it was de
termined, after the surrender of Gen.
Johnson, to transfer the field of mili
tary operations to the west of the
Mississippi, one of his cabinet told
Mr. Davis that he had money enough
to take them both across that river.
“ These facts are given to show the
injustice w’hick has been done to
one whose hopes and thoughts and
energies were all w holly devoted to
the cause, then so dear to es, in which
he was engaged; and who, amidst his
all engrossing public duties and re
sponsibilities, took no thought of his
private fortune or his pcrsoual safety.
“ 1 am ]Hsrsuadcd that the wise and
good ami honorable, even among j
those who thought him wrong in his I
support of the cause of Southern in- I
dependence, ami iin|ierilled their lives
in opposing him on the battle field,
will accord to him sincerity of con- j
victions as to the righteousness of the ;
cause in which he was engaged, integ
rity of purpose, and those great quai- ;
itics of head and heart which fitted |
him to be the leader of a heroic peo
ple in a great struggle.
“ I kuow the time has not yet fully
come for explanations like this to be
received without offense to the preju- \
dices of many good people, who have
only viewed Mr. Davis of late years
as a public enemy. But I trust now,
since that cause lias been forever
abandoned, the generous and just will
see that I but perform a duty to one
who, while he is iu a distant land, is
yet very dear to me and to millions
of others in the United States.
Very Resjiectfhlly,
John H. Keauan.”

Vienna, Ga., June 9th, 1870.
Editors Telegraph arid Messenger:
Pursuant to previous call, a meeting
was this day held at Druyton, Dooly
county, for the purpose of ascertain
ing the probable subscriptiou of our
citizens'to the stock of the branch
road of the Macon & Bmnswick Rail
road Uo., from Hawkinsville to Amer
icus.
On motion, Cnpt. John B. Lewis was
called to the Chair, and J. 11. Wood
ward appointed as Secretary.
The Chairman requested Judge S.
Rogers to explain the object of the
meeting, and to make the report of
flic committee recently appointed at
Hawkinsville to confer with the M.
A 11. Railroad Cos., N.W. Collier, the
Chairman of said committee, not being
present.
The object of the meeting being ex
plained by the Judge, he then pro
ceeded to make the report, as requested
by flic Chair. The report was received
and unanimously adopted. The J udge,
in a short speech, urged upon the peo
ple the importance of our going to
work with a full determination of doiug
Dooly’s share of building the road,
ami yielded the floor to
T. K. Lewis, Esq., who, being called
for. entertained the audience with a
thrilling and stirring speech just suit
able to the occasion, ami it is needless
to say that it was received with good
effect. Mr. Lewis retiring from the
stand,
Dr. I’. Timbcrlakc was called for,
' and responded in his usual happy
, manner, making a well-timed appeal
I to citr pitlzens to subscribe liberally’
| to the stock of the company.
The speeches all proved clearly that
it w as to the interest of Dooly to build,
or rathei assist, ami liberally too, in
building the contemplated railroad.
On motion of J. 11. Woodward, the
books of the Company were then an
nounced as opened and ready to re
ceive subscription to said stock, where
upon most persons present came for
ward ami subscribed liberally to the
stock. The day being 'tinpropitious,
oil account of inclement weather, the
meeting was comparatively small; for
which reason, it was on motion agreed
to have a Railroad meeting at Vienna,
on the 24th inst., and at the same
time hud plaee to have a la-gc public
barbecue, to which all, and more es
pecially Lite ladies, and you, gentlemen
of the i/tull, are respectfully invited to
, attend and participate with us iu our
| dinner and our now fair prospects of
j ere long having daily visitations of
the iron horse, through Dooly, ranting,
snorting, but still pursuing bis affixed
course to the end of his destination,
loaded aud freighted with Hie neces
saries, the comforts and the luxuries
of life, to lie discharged almost at our
doors, anti then to return laden with
ample freights of kiug Cotton, which
supplies us witli ample means to make
glad our hearts and give cheerful faces
to the queues nnd princes of our own
domestic firesides.
We will easily raise our quota of
the subscription to the proposed
branch road, therefore, we look upon
I the completion of the road as a fixed
, fact, which has already given us an
j impetus to improvements and has en
, liaiiecil the value of our property.
On motion, resolved, that tho citi
, zens of J’ulaski and Sumter be re
i quested to hold similar meetings and
; proceed at once to solicit subscription
to the stock of the Macon A Brunswick
, Branch Railroad.
Resolved, That a copy of the pro
ceedings of this meeting lie furnished
the Editors of tho Telegraph A Mcs
| senger, witli a request to publish the
j same, and that the Americus and
; Hawkinsville papers tie requested to
copy them.

The W ay It la Done.
An individual who has been initiated
into the order of Good Templar* gives
the following expose of the manner-in
which it is done: “In the first place,”
said our informant, folding his hand*
meekly across his knee, “ the victim
of initiation is blindfolded, bound
bauds and feet, aud thrown into n ci
der press, and pressed for five minute*.
This iu done for the purpose of clear
ing his system of‘old drunks.’ . He is
then taken out of the cider press, and,
by means«of a force pump, is gorged
with cold water, after which a scaling
plaster is put over his mouth, and fie
is rolled in a barrel four or five times
across the room, the choir at the same
time singing the ‘Cold Water’ Song.
He is now taken out of the barnn,
and hung up by the beels till the
water runs out through his ears. He
is then cut down, and a beautiful
young lady hands him a glass of lee
water. A cold water bath is thee
furnished him, after which he is show
ered with moic cold water, He is
then made to read the ‘ Water Works
Act’ ten times, -drinking a glass es
cold water between each reading; after
which the Old Cukcn Bucket is hung
round ills neck, and fifteen bejMSttfjil
yonng'ladies witli squirt gur,3 deluge
him with cold water. He is then
forced to eat a pound of ice, while the
brothers stick his ears full of small
pieces, lio is then run through a
clothes wringer, after which he is
lundcd a glass of cold water by a
beautiful young lady. He is then
gorged again with ice water, his boots
tilled with the same, and he is laid
away iu a refrigerator. After remain
ing in the refrigerator for the space of
half an hour, lie is taken out and
given a glass of ice water, run through
a clothes wringer, and becomes a
Good Templar.”
At the conclusion of his heart-rend
ing narration, the young man sighed
feebly, ran his fingers through his
hair absently, shiveied slightly, and
left us to our meditations.

The Strength or Strychnine. —A
fitt met- named Chilson, living near
Garnrd, Ohio, thinking to rid his corn
field of a troublesome ground hog,
managed to administer to the quad
ruped a dose of strychnine which killed
him nearly instantly. The carcass
was suspended to a tree, where thfe
crows soon espied the savory bit, and
proceed to appease their apiretites.— *-
After partaking of the meal, the orows
would fly a short distance, as if iu
agony, and fall dead to the ground.
The bones, being thoroughly stripped
of the flesh, remained exposed to the
