The following, which is known as “Mother Shipton’s Prophecy," was first published in 14S8, and republished in 1641. It will be noticed that all the events pre dicted in it, except that mentioned in the two last lines—which is still the future—have already conic to pass: Carriages without horses shall go, And accidents fill the world with woe. Around the world thoughts shall fly In the twinkling of an eye. Water shall yet more wonders do, Now strange, yet shall be true. The woild upside down shall be, And gold be found at foot of tree. Through hills men shall ride, And no horse or ass be at his side. Under Water men shall walk; Shall ride, shall sleep, shall tulk. In the air men shall be seen, In white, in black, in green. Iron in the water shall float, As easy as a wooden boat. Gold shall be found, and found In a land that’s not now known. Fire and water shall wonders do, England shall at last admit a Jew. The world to an end shall enmo In eighteen hundred and eighty two. For the Gwinnett Herald. PEN AND INK SKETCHES. Jesse Rambo. “Uncle Jessie” was an odd genius —full of eccentricities and quaint sayings. Every body knew Jesse Rambo. Those who ever came to “Town” had seen the old man—beard his queer talk—went home and told about the strange little old man they had seen; therefore, every body, big. little, old and young, black and white knew Jesse Rambo. Ue was queer in his looks — queer in his talk—queer in his no tions —queer in bis habits, and queer in every thing. We miss the old man from our town —with his good humor —his anecdotes —his droll sayings, and droll expressions. Twelve years have passed since he died, yet all these are vivid in our mind ; and the memory of the man, and what he used to say— how he used to look —how he used to act, comes hack on the memory and makes us laugh. To write properly of him rc 'quiies a more graphic pen than mine—to portray his idiosyncra cies (which was all of him) is an undertaking I feel incompetent for. He was a character such as I never 6aw before—shall never see again. That‘‘He was a man, take him for all in all, we shall ne’er look upon his like again”—is an aphorism to whidt all who knew him will assent! A man of good property, good farm, a good many slaves, cribs fult of corn, smoke-house full of bacon, yet “he was always going to starve to death and no other chance.” lie would often speak of his poverty-stricken condition so piteously, aud apparently so truthfully, that one was ready to believe it and sympathize with him, thougli they might know to the contrary. Once when he was bewailing his poverty in our town, and'his inex orable fate of starvation, a stran ger who was present and did not know him, was touched in his sympaties for the poor old man, and taking out his purse said: “Old man, I am a poor man my self but am able to work and you are not,” and, handing him a dol lar, said : “If this will do you any good you are welcome to it.” Mr. Ranibo drew back with sur prise, and, taking off his hat, said : “I thank you, sir! I am mighty poor but, will try to make out with out your charity!” He was a close man —saving of his money—not given to bestow charity much, but was honest, and only wanted his own, but he want ed all of that. lie was very friendly with “Asa” Smith, had great confidence in him and generally divided his little tra dings at his store —in a small way. He would frequently go behind the counter lookiug about. John Smith, one day—to tease him— slipped a ball of shoe thread in the pocket of his long tail blue coat. I never think of that old blue coat but what I think of “Old Grimes” and the stimza which I learned when a boy : "Old Grimes is dead, that good old man, We ne'er shall sec him more— He used to wear an old blue coat, All buttoned down belere !” lie did not find it out until he got home, and did not know how it got there. He was very much Lawrenceville, Ga., Wednesday, February 7, 1872. perplexed and troubled, and finally concluded that John Smith, “the mischievous rascal,” must have put it there. Next morning bright and soon he went back much dis concerted, and asked John if he put the thread in his pocket! Smith expressed great astonish ment —was greatly surprised that he should have taken it—had al ways thought he was an honest man—had allowed him to go be hind the counter when he pleased —had no idea he would take any thing—had missed the ball of thread but had not thought he took it; and would have to watch him hereafter! But it was too serious with the old man to make a joke of; he was indignant, and never while lie lived, lorgave John Smith. Forty-five years ago the Hunny cutts lived in Lawrenceville and worked at the black smith’s trade. “Buck” was then 1 one of the b-hoys,” and fond of “playing” off on Allen Dyer, Jesse Rambo and others. It was summer-time and the crops were tine and prom ■ ising. Mr. Rambo had a fine field ! of corn near his house. Buck conceived the plan and Jesse helped him carry it out. They piocured two cow-bolls and went over to his house, about a mile and a half from town. It | was night and not far from bedtime. Buck went on one side the field : and Jesse on the other, and they commenced rattling the bells The old man heard them and sup posed his field was full of cattle. He was in a great sputter, and called up his negroes, and he and they went in great haste to get out the cows. One of the bells would stop and the other would ring until they would get on that side, then it would cease and the other would ring; then they would break to that side of the field, and when they would get within a hundred or two yards of it, it would stop and the other would commence In this way they kept the old man and bis negroes two mortal hours runuing from one side the field to the other—he dealing out imprecations—not swearing—“that the damM cows would destroy all his corn,” One of the perpetrators of this joke is long since dead, but “Buck” still lives, and let me say to him, “that was a trick well con ceived, but you served the old gentleman mighty had.” Mr. Rambo, while a splutterer, was, neverthelesss, an inoffensive man; and I never heard of him doing any harm to any one or to their property but once. Robin Craig, who was a near neighbor, had a bull, and lie was large and fat, and went where he pleased a twelve-rail fence to the contrary notwithstanding. One day Rambo heard him coming down his lane bellowing furiously, and visions of destroyed corn fields flitted before his eyes. Gathering his old shot gun, lie met him up the lane—the bull on the outside and lie on the other. Getting within a short distance, he fired through the crack of the fence and gave him a full dose of blue pills in his flank, contrary to the comfort and dignity of the' bull and the peace and quiet of Mr. Craig. When the animal came home the owner found he had been shot, and soon ascertained that Mr. Rambo had done it, for he never denied it. Craig, hot as pepper, went over to see about it, and tho following coloqtiy, it was said, took place: “Ranibo, did you shoot my bull?” “Yes!” “ Was he in your field ?” “No!” “Was lie doing any mischief?” “No !” “Where was he?” “In my lane!” “Then, why did you shoot him?” “I was sick that morning and in an ill humor 1” “Well, sir, the next time you get sick I want you to go to Dr. Russell and get a dose of medi cine, and not shoot my bull again ; and, as you arc poor, I will pay for it.” lie used to say lie never bet but once in his life. M T heu ho lived in South Carolina, and soon afier his marriage, a big, awkward, light wood-smoked, spraddlc-footed piny woodsman—without shoes, cop peras breeches—reaching half way from liis knees to his ankles—with a rifle gun, marched up to his cabin and took a seat in the yard. He soon began to tell of his great exploits as a marksman—the umu- “COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE! her of deer and turkeys he hud killed, and that he would never shoot a sqirrel except in the eye. Just at this moment a chicken rooster came through the yard, and the hunter said he could shoot off his comb without touching him otherwise, and that he would bet a dollar on it. Mr. Rambo thought it an impossibility—thought he could win his money, and covered his bet with the first and only money he had ever earned. The man raised his rifle—cluck cd to the chicken to attract his at tention-fired —shaved off the comb as if it had been ent with a knife—and, bis dollar was gone ! That broke him from gambling. Mr. Karnbo came to this enmity not far —I would say—from the ! year 1820. He came from the piny' woods, not far from Oharlesloilp 1 | think. I lie had been very poor, ns lie ! sai l, but by great industry and frugality, got to be well oil'. He never spent money for a iy tiling, except for the education of his only child, who is the Rev. lvin- I chin Rambo—long a citizen of this | county, and now a resident of Floyd county; who is a distin guished Primitive Baptist preach er, and a first-class business man. He saved his money and was a ! money lender. His friend, Mr. : Cleveland, in whom he hud great confidence, once wanted to borrow ! some money'. Mr. K. was in town ! and it was not convenient for him to go back home after it. Mr. C. wanted it right then, and said he could write an order to his old lady i and ho would send after it. That j would do no good, Mr. Rambo I said. She might think it a forged order, but he sent with the mes senger, l’crry—Mr. Cleaveland’s colored man—his old pocket-knile, and the 500dollais was sent. lie was a Baptist when I first knew him and was regular in his attendance at his church at “Old Red Land,” complying strictly with all the ordinances of Ids church, but “fell from gi ace” and died out of the church. In politics he was a democrat “dyed in the wool”—both warp and woof—and never “split his ticket.” lie would have consid ered it worse than sacrilege to have voted for a whig or any one who was not a democrat. I might give man) 7 other anec dotes of Jesse Rambo. I might tell of Bob Coker wanting to go home with him from town one day, and the old man’s excuses for him not to go. First—That his wife was sick and couldn’t bear coin pa ny—of Bob saying he was a very quiet man and would not bo trou blesome— then, that his cook was sick, too—and of Bob saying lie was a first rate cook himself and could do the cooking—then, that he had nothing in the world to eat but cow-peas—and of Bub saying he liked peas better than any thing in the world—of the old man’s ev ident despair of getting rid of him —of Bub stepping finally into the grocery to get another drink, to give the old man a ehancc to run —how he diil run—and how lie made tracks in haste over the h'll towards home, leaving a blue streak behind him—but my space will not admit, and the foregoing must sulficc. But the meanest, most diaboli cal act I ever knew perpetrated in cur old county, was the robbery of Mr. Ranibo. lie was a little old man, and his family consisted of himself, hi» old lady and his negroes. It was believed, generally, that he had money, and lie had; but, tho day before this occurrence, he had taken the most of it and deposited it witli Hutchins, Cleavelaml, or Spence, I have forgotten which. Five or six men went to his house, late at night, disguised. Two guarded the negro houses, to keep tho negroes in; and the otlio'B went into tho house and demanded the key of his safe. They blind folded the old man—hit him over the bead with a stick, and used vi olence on the old lady by choking her. The old man conld hear tho gurgling of her throat and her efforts to get breath, and begged them to spare her life, but to kill him if they would ! 1 have heard of “honor amongst thieves”—of magnanimity of high way-men—but this attack on Mr. Ran bo —the personal jvioleuce to him—especially to his old wife — was the worst—the most fiendish that ever occurred in our county. It was currently believed at the time, and the opinion is still enter tained, that the perpetrator* of this f .ul dot'd were—partly at least —of onr own citizens. Wen who stood well in general estima tion —men, probably, who often prated of their honesty, integrity, uprightness and fair dealings ! If this should meet their eye, let mo say : “Yo hypocrites ! ‘your sin will find you out!’ A day of retribution will come ! You will yet call for rocks and mountains to fall upon you to hide your naked deformities from the presence of an indignant, offended trod !” Finally—Jesse Rainbo was as queer and uniqe in personal ap pearance us lie was in sayings and i actions. He was about five feet eight inches high-uvordupois 11 d pounds i— erect and fidgety. Clad gene Iwally in summer —with a long-tail bine stir tout coat of home maim factnre—copperas pants, with the Egs stuck in his stockings—shoes of cow leather, tanned in his own trough and made by bis negroes — a pair of brass-rimmed specta cles, always on—and, for many years, a high-topped napped hat of the bee gum style, given hi n by Spence—and a iiitle old blue cot ton “mnl)i riill,” carried in his left hand, when not st reached over him. 1 thought l could describe him better when I commenced, but like Dr. Hall’s morning gown, he was a non do script—indescriba ble—outre in all his parts, and I have made a failure. Hut the queer old man is sleep ing in his grave and I will not disturb him. I always liked him—for his oddities —his good nature and his great flow of quaint l.umor. It was a great freak of nature when ho was made. The world lias seen but one Jesse Rarabo and will never sec another. W. NATIONAL CONGRESS. Spicy Debate on Amnesty. Senate, Washington, Jan. 23. THE AMNESTY BII.L. The regular order, ilia amnesty bill, was then taken up, and Mr. Morton (Rep., 1m1.,) addressed the Senate upon it. lie declared him self opposed to universal suffrage, and characterized the arguments in favor of it as based upon sickly sen timentalism and spuiious generosity. Ho thought there was a good d.'al of misapprehension throughout (he country in regard to the disabilities now resting upon those "ho engaged in the rebellion. It was, perhaps, not generally known that Jefferson Davis and all of his followers had as much right to vole as any man who served in the Union army. He reviewed the history of the Four teenth Amendment, and argued (hat the provision in it authorizing Con gross to remove disabilities by a two-third voto was not designed to authorize tho removal of disabilities from classes, but only from Individ uals. It seemed therefore to he straining the Fourteenth Amendment to pass he Amnesty bill as it came from the House. Ho was willing, however, to vote for that bill, but be liever would vote for it with the ex ceplions stricken out. The disabili ty imposed by that amendment upon the Southern leaders was tho last remaining legal mark of d:sapproba tion of the rebellion, ami lie could never con ,cut to its approval, because to do so would bo to acknowledge that THE UEOELUON WAS NOT WRONG’, that it was merely a difference of opinion, and that the leaders of the rebellion had tho same right as lojal men to hold tho highest offices of the Government. The question of am nesty had generally been argued heretofore on the grounds of expe tliency and experience; blit he wished to consider it upon a higher plan.— lie thought there was a great join-, ciple involved, a principle of eonsis teney of duty to the Government, and especially a principal of the greatest importance to posterity. It was argued that amnesty would con ciliate the people of the South; but lie believed that the leaders could no more bo conciliated In that way than ratthsnakes could be conciliated by restoring their extracted fangs. Tin y would die as they had !ive?P— rebels. Whatever dignity history might give to their characters must debend upon their consistency in maintaining that attitude-, it erefore, THEY COI'LD NOT BE CONCILIATED by this measure, and if it would con ciliate the masses of the Southern people it would be by their taking it as au admission that thev wc-rc al- [s2 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. wavs ill the light and that the North wu’j in the wrong. It nniversa amnesty were to l>o gtantsd now it would lie impossible to convince the next generation that there was any tliingjwrong in the rolxdlion, and the Republican party could not concede the guiltlessness of tlio rebellion without falsifying its whole record and disgracing itself before the world. The consequences of the rebellion wero far greater than the conse quence* of all ti e other crimes com mitted in the United State* up to this time. If a man took a sbg c life or stole a ten dollar bill, lie would be executed on the scaffold or sent to the peni eniiary. Yet it was proposed that hero men who had brought. UNTOLD CALAMITIES UPON TilK NATION should bo relieved from the last mark of disapprobation that remained upon them. If any ono.believcd’hal we should never have any troubles in this country li area tier that opinion was contradicted by tlui history of all nations. Disagreements, heart burnings, and morn serious Uiuihlis weio sure to occur, and it was a dan. gerous thing to teach coming genera tions that rebellion was no crime, and (hut the only risk incurred by a rebel was the risk of losing his life while actively engaged in waring upon the "government. Again, if amnes ty ought to he giauled in order to conciliate the people of Ij’tlieJ South, the argument was strong for pension ing rebel poldieis, because that would bo a far more conciliating measure. It would be also a legitimate conse quence of the argument for amnesty. For if Davis and Breekonridge should bo adiniled in the Senate to make laws for the nation there certainly would remain no good reason wliv tho rebel sodiers should he excluded from the hondefit of the pension laws, and lie predicted that if get oral am nesty were granted, the next step would be to PENSION TIIE REBEL SOI.DIKRS; the next to pay the lebels for their property taken by the Union armies; the next to pay them for their slaves, and the next to consolidate tho rebel debt with the national debt. Mr. Thurman (Dem.,Ohio) inquir ed how all these things could be done in the face of the provisions ol the Fourteenth Amendment. Mr, Thurman—The Senator as., sumes, then, that the Democratic party is to g<> into power and to dis regard tho Fourteenth Amendment. I wish he would stale how soon he expects that event to happen 1 [ unughtor]. Mr Morton—l hope that the Dem ocratic paGy’will not g>t into power during this generation. I believe it would he the greatest national calam ity that could happen. I believe that tho best interest oMiltis nation ami ol civilization upon this continent are involved in tho continue I supremacy of tho Republican party for many years. But great calamities have happened. Great phtjfno* bare come upon the world; earthquakes liavp swallowed np cities; Chicago has been burned, and it is among the possibili ties that THE DEMOCRATS MAV COME INTO POWER.* [Laughter]. Ami 1 say the Democratic party does not acknowledge the va il Jity of the Fourteenth Amendment. Mr. Vailandigham attempted last summer to bring tiis party up to the acknowledgement of it; but ho has passed away, new dcpAtluio which ho inaugurated- was buried with him in the same grave. In conclusion, Mr. Morton said he would vote for Sumner’s amendment —the Supplementary Civil Rights I Bill. Me agreed with Mr. Sumner I in putting justice before generosity, or spurious magnanimity. What might bo mercy to the individuals amnesty would in h : s opinion be CRI'Kt.TY TO Kl'Tl'Ult (jBnRIUTIOX, and whiio he was willing to vote for a general amnesty, lie believed univer sal amnesty would te inhuman and immoral, because it would be an admission of the innocency of a rebel lion whose consCquerfccs will linger in the country centuries. Mr. Thurman said lie was at a loss to comprehend tho Senator from Indiana (Mr. Morton). That Senator asserted that universal amnesty would bo in human ami immoral, and lie was pre pared lo vote for his bill of universal amnesty provided Mr. Sumner’s amendments should be adopted. Mr. Morton explained that what ho had denounced was universal am nesty. He would vote for this House bill because it made exceptions of persons who might bo regarded as among the authors of the rebellion. Mr. Thtirnien said that if this House bill was so satisfactory to the Senator, ho was at a loss to account for his denunciation of universal RATES OF ADVKRTIfctNO. stack 3 mo’s.

The Senator tYo 1 ! 1 Indiana had seized this opportunity i<, make a speech which would stiiku the key note of the eomii g campaign - Thai function had so often devolved upon him or been assumed by him that it had passed into the common law of the Radical party that he should do this at the beginning of every campaign, and the only regret he, (Mr. Thurman),-had on the sub ject was that in all the years during which the Irenatpr had been studying that music lie had not discovered a new tone or ovcn*x single new note [laughter]. It was the ‘amc old st< rr about the wickedness of the rebellion and of the Democratic parlv, and the same old a nay of terrible remits would follow if the Democrats should got iTito power, and which were t > lie found nowhere alive but in tl a . Senator’s imagination Mr. Blair snggsUnl that it was not the same no'e that Mr. Morton struck in 1865 where he mado a Speech in favor of l’resi lent Jhonson. Mr. Thurman--I leave that to he settled between the Senator from Missouri (Mr. Blair) and the Sen ator from Indiana (Mr. Morton). — The Senator from Indianr makes HIE SAME OLD CUArOES against the {Democratic putty —charges which l e lielirvis of coarse, or he would not make them —but which I venture to say that no human being in his si-lists and intelligent enough to form an opinion does believe or cun believe for one single instant. Payment of the rebel debt 1 How is it to be paid in the f ee ol the Fourteenth amendment, which prohibits even a Stale from making any payment of it. Payment of pensions to rebel sol diers is also positively prohibited by the Fourteenth ana ndinent. The payment of the national debt is guaranteed by the Constitution.

Imps us the leader of Lis party ambus the particular month piece of the Administra tion, lias the boldness to hold up those preposterous statements to frighten the American people out of ilieir propriety. Sir, it may do very well on the slump in the swamps of Indiana [laughter], but it is not too much to say that to men who are accustomed to reflect, the apprehensions which the Senator expresses arc rttKPO.STKKOt .l AND HIDK.I J.OCR. Now 1 tin ! grout difficulty in understand ing this A<lrniiiistintior). '(lie President, in his normal message, recommends an amhrsty, nml here is the Senator from Indiana (Mr. Morton), one of Ids cliiif snpportcis, denouncing it. The Presi dent ri commends civil service reform, and the Senator from Wisetusin (Mr. Car penter) pours out upon it t!ie via la of Ids wrath nu ridicule. 1 fan hardly un derstand it. But if I were a suspicious man I would say that, this is the old trick of throwing a tub to the vrha'c. I would -itspect. that when the President rays • fa-t ns have civil service reform." there is a mental reservation that it shall Ik.* killtd in Congress; and that who it ho soys ‘-Let us have amnesty,” there is u mental reservation thr.t the Radicals in the Senate shall kill amnesty, Jdo not charge ary such hypoerney upon the Provident, but it dues look wonderfully strange that every important nrotymeml otiim made by the President is ignored by his trends in this chamber. Mr. Thurman in conclusion argued the qttes tton of rights of States under the Con st it nr ion. Mr. Morton in reply said that Mr. Thurman laid just made uu old speech übout | TIIB DANOKHS OF OENTfUUZVTION, which also had boon often heard in the swamp* of Indiana. It was the same n'd : Democratic Slate rights fjvoch. The j Senator laid just said, lie could not under* | stund this Administration.
