HAWKINSVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, MAY 11, 1871. f Properly Usnea ky lHe W,»r The census of valuation of property show enormous losses for the Southern Slates. Georgia re turned in 1860, $618,232,38? value of real personal property, and in 1870 $202,563,55? —showing a loss of S4IS V 668,330. Virginia loses 168 millions, or nearly two-sevenths. North Caro lina loses 160, or more than onc-bslf. South Carolina losses 329 millions, or very nearly two-thirds. Florida loses 36 millions, or more than half- M ississippi loses 866 millions, or seven tenth#, Kentucky loses 104 millions, or about one-fifth. Tennessee loses 69 millions, or less than onc-flfth. T-miGian* Ipse* 185 millions, Otrslto'l! two-fifths. Missouri notwithstanding the change, has gained about 286 millions. - . Wlmt Frnnec Ira# to Psj Ger man}. Some calculating Yankee has set down to figuring on the French in demnity ami made out the following stunting result: “ France will have to pay 5,000,000,000 franca to Gcrnia ny sa a wnr indemnity. This in five, franc gold pieces, would weigh 55,- 00 '.ooopoundsavoird pois, Totran*' port all this gold by rail, sup|K>siug each car to carry 11,000 |K>unds, a train of 6,000 cars would lie required. When spread out on the ground, one touching the other, these five franc gold pieces would reach almost around the globe. Iffive-friinc pieces enough to make this amount were placed one above the other, they would make a column of gold 1,676 miles in height. If this column, hav ing its base in Paris, should topple over in the direction of Berlin, Berlin would be only one-third of the whole distaucc reached by tiie coins at the top of the column. .A quick cashier, aide to count 10,000 fire-franc pieces in an hour, supposing that be commenced at the age of thirty, would lie nearly seventy years of age In-fore he finish ed counting it, in case he should count eight hours daily for three hundred days every year.” A Steanot Stork.— Two Ameri can Gibm lli:i.i) as Slaves in Bit axil.— The daughters of a South ern planter arc now slaves in Brazil. The planter emigrated thither at the close of the war, and was unsuccess ful. The Brazilian law# are such that when a citizen becomes in debt, if lie ha# no property, Ids children arc sold as slaves, the prices they bring going to the payment of the obligation. Our friend, says the Nashville RoLMicn* /leaner, when he reached Brazil, unwisely became naturalized ami a South American citizen, and subject to tin: laws, thus bv hi# own volition, expatriating himself from bis native country and it# protection. IJe became involved in debt to some Brazilians. His children were sold as slaves. Thus hi« two daughters, now grown Ten nessee young Indies, are slaves, doing menial work for unlettered masters and mistresses iu Brazil, their price paying a devoted but unfortunate father’s debt 1 The amount of tbe debt, we understand, is twelve hun dred dollars in gold, and steps have been taken to have tbe amount plac ed in the hands of tbe father. A prowling panther ate up the only good looking young man in an Ore gon settlement, and the local school marms despaired). A Kentucky boy, ten years old, has set at the Testament with a will, and committed the whole of it to memory. It is a curious feet that the essay which Prevost Parade), the late min ister of France to the United States, recited, whan graduating at college, watt’’On Suicide, “ An Irishman who barf Mistered his finger by endeavoring to pull on a pair of boots, exclaimed : “I believe I shall sever gut them on until I wear them a day or two." The Cleveland (Ohio) Plaindealer tells of a woman there who was made a widow oa Sunday, was a mourner on Monday, was married on Tuesday, and was the recipient of a surprise party on Wednesday'. Corn has been planted more a bun. dantly in the vicinity of Haynville, Houston county, this year than last. The rains have, however, somewhat interfered with farming operation. 8 lie Wesley Oak. On St. Simon Island, about one half of a mile from Frederica, stands the veritable live oak, under whose wide spreading branches John and Charles Wesley preached, when Geor gia was in her colonial state, one hundred and thirty-five years ago. Tills old tree has stood the blast# of centuries, still it stands a living em blem of the divine service it afforded the founders of the M. E. Church on this continent. If the spirits of those - illustrious heroes could participate in things earthly, they certainly would exclaim in the lauguage of the po et: "Woodman, spare that tree, ->ugh, In youth It sheltered me Anu I’ll protect il now.” And to tbe great credit of oil, ire times post and present, who have and still live on the Island, it stands a liv ing nucleus around whose history so much dusters, interesting to those wh > worship at the shrine of Metho dism. But thank# to the photographic art, we have a lieau'.iful picture of the venerable tree before us, in all its mosa-eovered benuty; bat the Wes leys stand not there. No, they have passed away, but their compeers are sacred to their great memories, in the persons of Bishops Geo. F. Pierce and W. M. Wightmnn, and Rev. L. Pierce, D. D., the oldest im-lhodist preacher (to the knowledge of the writer) living. • Mr. A. J. Riddle, of our city, was the artist who mode the negatives, and will soon have them ready for sale—and they will sell all over this land. We understadd the first prof its arising from the sale of this pic ture goes to defraying the expenses of finishing a church in the city of Brunswick, a plan conceived, and if successfully carried out, will redound to the great credit of that Christian gentlemen, Rev. Chas. A. Flilwood, who was minister in charge at Bruns wick last year.— .1/noon 7elc</ra/jh . To Our M«t»»erll»er». Some of our old sulsieriber# in the States of Texas, Louisiana, and Flori da, and also in Pulaski county, have neither written nor called to see us in regard to the Dispatch for the year 1871. We would like to hear from them. Subscriber# in this county had best call and see us.

It ha# no type to go with it, but such ty|#- a# the purchaser wants can be lioiight of New York or Philadelphia founders. A bargain i# offered, if called for early. Alvice to Southern Democrats.— Under this head the Metroj»olitan Re cord advise# the Southern Demo crats to stand on the platform laid down in the recent Congressional ad drcK# as tbe only platform upon which the Democracy can expect to carry tbe next Presidential election. To that end, says the editor: We call upon the Southern Demo cracy to set aside whatever person al feeling and prejudices they may still entertain, or to bold them subser vient to the general interests of tbe party. I<et tho*e who arc disposed to con tinue a factions opposition to the great majority; let those who are dis posed to question the wisdom of the address of our Congressional delega tion, bear In miud that everything which leads to weaken onr party strenghens the enemy, and let them above all take the important fact to heart, that it is only through Demo cratic ascendancy the South can be restored to its constitutional rights, and enter upon that career of pros perity which we have feebly attempt ed to foreshadow. Do right, though you have enemies. Yon cannot escape them by doing wrong and it is little gain to barter sway your honor and integrity, and divest yourself of morel courage, to gam what I Nothing. Better abide by tbe truth —frown down ail opposi tion, and rejoice in tbe feeling which must inspire a tree and independent nan. Is there s word in the English lan guage that contains alt the vowels? There Is, unquestionably. And the word Is -abstemiously "—ami all in (heir regular order. MtsiatiiMg a Religion. There are many rocks on which many souls that hear the gosjtcl ore split. Some think all religion con sists in some external observance#, without any ipiritual frame; others apprehend that they shall be saved because of some good meaning in them, though they have never had a heart to do any good. Some think it enough to admit some conviction of sin, and feel some regret for the same, though they never amend their ways, as if they exncctad that pardon w«# b«yM»Hpting of ttwlr duty, iu stead of a remitting of their sins. Oldgrs*- they may livs ■vr < p-e,j k r «jpfe''..fa-*ugt) they never had sky serious sense of the evil of sin, nor any humble contrition for the same; and some think they can be religious toward God, tbongli un righteous toward their fellowmen. The Atlanta Constitution reminds the public of the fact that the Su preme Court, about two weeks ago, decided tiiat the discharge of a bank rupt does not relieve his sccuritlc# from liability on his pa|x-r, that tiie discharge kills the debt a# to him, but not a# to his securities. On love matters mid affairs which concern the rex generally the country man is usually as gentle as possible. Rutexprcssionslikc tbefollowiugshoiv that he has fuellings which may not l)c respected; “Tl* ivwt l> court, Bill oli! how bluer To court a real Anil then no! git her.” An ambitious young lawyer, im patient of making a figure in the world, once asked Webster bow he could licst attain notoriety at a single liound. WciiHter replied: “Attack the Cbritain religion,” or the “Con. stitution of the United States.” If Mr. Webster had lived until now lie would perceive that a tnsltitudinoiig rabble of his countrymen bad takcu him at his word.

Proverb of the slow but sure mnn —“ Large oaks from little acorns grow.” Preverb of the tight Iwot wearing man_“ Largo aches from little toe-cornu grow.” A chap who was told by a clergy man t« remember Lot’s wife, replied that he liad trouble enough with his own without remembering any other man’s wife. A lady in London somehow got the idea into her head that the devil was in her, and went to the cupboard and bung herself. If women go to hanging tin mseives for little things like that, they are going to be mighty scarce, thstv nil. What a Good Wife Should Be A good wife should lie like three things; which three things she should not Is; like. lift —She should be like a snsil to keep within her house, but siic should rscs-he like a snail Vo carry all aho ba# on ber back. . Brcondlg-—S be should be like an echo, to apeak when spoken to, but she should riot be like an echo, always to baVc the last word. Thxrdhj —She should be like a town clock, always to keep time and regu larity ; huh she should not be like a town clock, to speak so loud that all the town may hear her. The Nashville Banner relates the following: “ There llves in Nashville a business man whose lift; baa been ia many psnicnlars very romantic. Shortly aft r he was born bis father ran away with another woman, and owing to tbe utter inability of the mother to support him he was aban doned to the Under mercies of the world, and brought up among stran gers.
