MansrieLp, Sec’y, Oakley Mills Manufacturing Co.—Dear Sir :— In reply to your enquiry as to my ex perience with your Flour of Raw Bone, I will state that I used about 75 pounds to the acre on 2 portion of my corn crop. This was too small a quantity and here after I shall use more to the acre. The results however are very satisfactory and on some of the land the yield I think is doubled and on none of it less than one and a half times what it would have been without the Bone Dust. I used on a portion of my erop Guano and Bone Flour side by side. The Bone Flour shows much the best results. Used lib erally, I believe the Flour of Raw Bone will pay and pay well. REUBEN LATIMER. OakLEY MiLs Man. Co.,—Gentle men: I herein give you the result of my experience with your Flour of Raw Bone on my corn crop. Last April I bought from you 1 bl of Bone Dust. I also bonght about the same amount of Guano, and used thesc manures as follows: I soaked my seed corn about 24 hours in water and then rolled it in land plaster and planted the best land in the field with a tabie spoon ful of Guano to each hill of corn. I then planted the poorest part of the field with corn soaked as before and rolled in land plaster and put at each hill about one table spoonful of your Flour of Raw Bone. In this part of the field I left two stalks to the hill, but only left one stalk to the hill where I had Guano. I am well satistied that the land where I put “Flour of DBone” has at least 4 more corn on it than where I put the Guano, almost every stalk in the Bone Dust part of the ficld has a good ear of corn and there are twostalks to the hill. lam so well satisfied with the Flour of Raw Bone, that I am now determined to use it hereafter in preference to Gu ano. And I invite any farmer to look at my corn and see if I am not right. Yours Respectfully, AnranaM GREEN. P. S.—l have walked over the field of corn described in above and think the above statements are correct. W. 1.. MANSFIELD. MIXTURE OF RACES. Agassiz, in his lately published work on Brazil, has the following on the mix ture of races : Let any one who doubts the evil of this mixture of races, and is inclined from a mistaken philanthropy, to break down the barriers between them, come to Brazil. He cannot deny the derteri ‘oration consequent upon an almalgama tion of races more wide-spread hers ‘than in any other country in the world, ‘and which is rapidly affecting the bes: ’qualities of the white man, the negro ‘and the indian leaving a mongrel nonde ‘seript, type, deficient in physical and 'mental energy. At a time when the ‘new social status of the negro is a sub ject of vital importance in our statesman ship, wo should profit by the experience of a country where, though slavery ex ists, there is far more liberality toward the free negro than hehas ever enjoyed in the United States. Let us learn the double lesson; openall the advantages of education to the negro, and give him every chance of success which culture gives to the man who knows how to use it; but respect the laws of nature, and let all dealings with the black man tend to preserve, as far as possible the dis tinctness of his national characteristies, ‘and the integrity of our own. THE BEST OF ALL SCHOOI’ The fireside is a seminary of mfii importance because it is universak because the education it bestows, being’ woven in with the woof of childhood, gives form and color to the whole tex ture of life. There are few who can re ceive the honors of a college, but all are graduates of the hearth. The learning of the university may fade from the re collection, its classic lore may moulder in the halls of memory, but the simple lessons of Lome, enamelled upon the heart of childhood, defy the rust of years, and outlive the more mature but less vivid pictures of after years. So deep, so lasting, indeed, are the impressions of early life, that you often see 2 man in the imbecility of age, holding fresh in his recollection the events of childhood, while all the wide space between that and the present hour is a blasted and forgotten waste. You have, perchance, geen an old obliterated portrait; and in the attempt tohave it cleaned and re stozed, you may have seen it fade away, while a brighter and more perfect pic ture, painted beneath, is revealed to MARIETTA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 18, 1868. view. This portrait, first drawn upon the canvass, is no faint illustration of youth; and though it may be concealed by some after design, still the original traits will shine through the outward picture, giving it its tone while fresh, and surviving it in decay.

Another world! With what strange meaning these words are fraught! They ever arrest the way ward thoughts, and stir the inquiries of the heart. Our imaginations are ever traversing the etherial space of the Universe, to catch a view of that mys terious other world. Yet, they ever re turn to us, weary-worn and unsatisfied. Sometimes the soul would ask: Is it a reality, this future life of man?{ or is it a fervid, deceptive dream, that will end with this short, mysterious life? Is it, like the body, to be consigned to decath, and the grave—its high aspirations for knowledge, purity and happiness, to be put out in forgetfulness? Are its cease less thirstings for glory, light, and ever lasting life, to be perfected? Oh! tell me, are the chords of love and friend ship, that have been rudely severed by the hand of Death, to be re-united never again, and the friends that part with us here to meet us no more forever? Oh! why is the human heart thus created, with deep and lasting affections, bright and glorious hopes, high and noble aspi rations, if never to be realized? DBut, nay, we know there is another world !— The Spirit of God speaks to our souls, in tones unnistakable, of a life unweak ened by frail mortality, undimmed by sorrow and care ; a life unclouded by folly and sin, and unembittered by pain and death ; there, the broken tics of earth shall be re-united, and there Time’s desolating footsteps shall never roam. Wereit not for the small voice that falls upon the heart, in the hour of its trial and suffering, when the spirit droops and sighs over the leart’s lone liness and desolation, amid its blighted hopes and chilied affections—when those who onced filled it with joy, light, and love, are taken away ! away so far, into the unknown bevond, and the restless spirit chafes against its “‘prison house of clay,” and longs to proudly soar away from this dreary, darkened Earth, to find its lost ones in a brighter, purer sphere—then, how could this heart well endure such pain as this, were it not for this still, small voice that falls so softly, soothingly, upon the troubled spirit, and tells it to struggle on and suffer, in view of this life to come. And yet, fully delineated, how little do we know of our future destiny I—how little, even of to-morrow ! DBeyond the boundary of Earth, these mortal eyes cannot penetrate. We canuot follow the departing spirit of some loved one to the brink of the “Dark River,” as it starts off on its unknown journey to another world ; but there we must turn back. Beyond all is mystery impene trable; yet, could we snatch away the “yeil of mortality” from these eyes, me thinks we could see them, ere the fare wells are hushed on Earth, greet their lotig lost friends on the shores of the éther world; and our ears might catch thesmusic of harp-strings swept by an genlic fingers, as they strike up their triumphant notes to proclaim the victory of another soul over Death and the G ‘ "'llhrglfi Death and the Grave mnst we all gOyre we inherit the joys of that lorious other world. The soul cannot Ec'ape—’tis bound to Earth by chains lof clay, and encircled by the “River of kth.” How often, when the soul ws weary of the burdens and disap pointments of life, does it long to burst these bonds? But Fate points to the Dark River, and the pillow of dust!— Then the timid soul shrinks into its “prison house of clay,” in woe and des pair, till Faith discerns the bright ray of light which has lit up the dark way since the passage through it of Death’s great Conquerer. : Isit strange, that when ‘we contem plate this future existence, we should wondor and fear? Is it strange, the heart, bewildered in the maze of alter nate hopes and fears, is ever asking, where ? “Till Faith and Hope, bes boons to mortals given, | Catch the bright ray, and point us up to Heaven.” | {55 Horatio Seymour was never known to utter a profane oath, to tell a vulgar story or obscene anecdote, to be under the influence of liquor, to enter a gam bler’s den, or enter a house of ill fame. | Marion Democratic Mirror. . THE CRISIS AT HOME. !thn of Generals Forrest, Pillow, Bx-Gov ernor Harris, and Prominent Republicans. A Free Talk with the Wizard of the Saddle. Formidable Strength of the Masked Brother hood---Peace and Self-Protection the Ob i jeot of the Organization. i{\'pfl-iul Correspondence of the Cincinnati Commer cial. Mewrius, TENN., August 28. To-day I have enjoyed ‘‘big talks” enough to have gratitied any of the fa mous Indian chiefs who have been treat ‘ing with General Sherman for the past two years. First I met General N. B. Forrest, then General Gideon J. Pillow, and Gov. Isham G. Harris. My first visit was to General Forrest, whom I found at his office at 8 o’clock this morn ing, hard at work, although complaining of an illness contracted at the New York Convention. The New Yorkers must be a hard set indeed, for I have not met a single delegate from the Southern States who has not been ill ever since he went there. DBut to General Forrest.— Now that the Southern people have ele vated him to the position of their great leader and oracle, it may not be amiss to preface my conversation with him with a brief sketch of the gentleman. I cannot better personally describe him than by borrowing the language of one of his biographers. “In person, he is six feet, one inch and a half in height, with broad shoalders, a full chest and symmetrical, muscular limbs; erect in carriage, and weighs one hundred and cighty-five pounds: dark grey eyes, dair hair, mustache, and beard worn upon the chin; a set of regular white teeth, and clearly cut features;”’ which altogether, make him rather a handsome man for one of forty-seven years of age. Previous to the war—in 1852—he left the business of planter, and came to this city and engaged in the business of “‘ne gro trader,” in which traffic he seems to have been quite successful, for, by 1861, he had become the owner of two planta tions a few miles below here, in Missis sippi, on which he produced about a thousand bales of cotton each year, in the mean time carrying on the negro trading. In June, 1861, he was au thorized by Governor Harris to recruit a regiment of cavalry for the war, which he did, and which was the nucleus around which he gathered the army which he commanded as a Lieutenant- General at the end of the war. After being seated in his office, I said : “General Forrest, ] came especially to learn your views in regard to the con dition of your civil and political affairs in the State of Tennessce, and the South generally. I desire them for publica tion in the Cincinnati Commercial. 1 do not wish to misrepresent you in the slightest degree, and therefore only ask for such views as you are willing I should publish.” “I have not now,” he replied, ‘‘and never have had, any opinion on any public or political subject which Iwould object to having published. I mean what I say, honestly and earnestly, and only object to being misrepresented. I dislike to be placed before the country in a false position, especially as I have not sought the reputation which I have gained.” I replied: “Sir, I will publish only what you say, and then you can not pos-l sibly be misrepresented. Qur people desire to know your feelings toward the } Geeneral Government, the State Govern ment of Tennessee, the Radical party, both in and out of the State and upon the question of negro suffrage.” “Well, sir,” said he, ““when I surren dered my seven thousand men in 1865, I accepted a parole, honestly, and have observed it faithfully up to to-day. I have counseled peace in all the speeches I have made I have advised my people to submit to the laws of the State, op pressive as they are, and unconstitution al as I believe them to be. I was pa roled and not pardoned until the issu ance of the last proclamation of general amnesty, and therefore did not think it prudent for me to take any active part until the oppression of my people be came so great that they could not en dure it, and then I would be with them. My friends thought differently, and sent me to New York, and I am glad that I went there.” “Then, I suppose, General, that you think the oppression has become so great th:t your people should net longer bearJ it. “No,” he answered, ‘it is growing worse hourly, yet I have said to the peo ple stand fast, let us try to right the wrong by legislation. A few weeks ago I was called to Nashville to counscl with other gentleman who bad been promi nently identified with the cause of the Confederacy, and we then offercd pledg- es which we thought would be satisfac tory to Mr. Brownlow and his Legisla ture, and we told them that if they would not call out the militia we would agreeto preserve order, and see that the laws were enforced. The Legislative Com mittee certainly led me to believe that our proposition would be accepted, and no militia organized. DBelieving this, I came home, and advised all of my peo ple to remain peaceful, and offer no re sistance to any reasonable law. It is true that I never have recognized the Eresent Government in Tennesseo as ‘having any legal existence, yet I was ‘willing to submit to it for a time, with the hope that our wrongs might be right ed peaceably.” “What are your feclings toward the Federal Government 1” “I loved the old Government in 1861, love the old Constitution yet. I think it the best Government in the world if administered as it was before the war. I do not hate it; I am opposing now on ly the radical revolutionists who are try ing to destroy it. I believe that party to "¢ composed, ac I know it is in Ten nessce, of the worst men on God’s earth —men who would hesitate at no crime, and who have only one object in view, to enrich themseclves.” “In the event of Governor Brown low’s calling out the militia, do you think there will be any resistance offer ed to their acts %’ I asked. “That will depend upon circumstan ces. If the militia are simply called out, and do not interfere with or molest any one, Ido not think there will be any fight. If, on the contrary, they do what I believe they will do, commit outrages, or even one outrage upon the people, they and Mr. Brownlow’s Government will be swept out of existence; not a radical will be left alive. If the mili tia are called out, we cannot but look upon it as a declaration of war, because Mr. Brownlow has already issued his proclamation directing them to shoot down the Kuklux wherever they find them, and he calls all Southern men Ku klux. “Why, General, we people up North have regarded the Kuklux Klan as an organization which existed only in tho frightened imaginations of a few politi cians.” “Well, there is such an organiza tion not only in Tennesse, but all over the South, and their numbers have not been exaggerated.” “What are its numbers, General §” “In Tennessee there are over 40,000, in all the Southern States they number about 550,000 men.” “What is the character of the organi zation, may I enquire? “Yes, sir. It is a protective, politi cal, military organization. lam willing toshow any man the constitution of the society, The members are sworn to recognize ths Government of the United States. Itdoes not say any thing at all about the Governmeut of the State of Tennessee. Its objects originally were protection against the Loyal Leagues and the Grand Army of the Republic, but after it became general, it was found that political matters and interests could best be promoted within it, and it was then made a political organization, giv ing its support, of course, to the Demo cratic party.” “But is the organization connected throughout the Statel” “Yesit is. In each precinct there ig a Captain, who, in addition to his other duties, is required to make out a list of names of men in his precinct, giving all ¢he Radicals and all the Democrats who are positively known, and showing the doubtful on both sides and of both colors. This list of names is~forwarded to the Grand Commander of the State, who is ‘thus enabled to know who are our friends ‘and who are not.” “Can you, or are you at liberty to give me the commanding officer of this State 1" “No, it would be impolitic.” “Then I suppose that there can be no doubt of a conflict if the militia interfere with the pcople; is that your view 1 “Yes, sir, if they attempt to carry out Governor Brownlow’s proclamation, by shooting down Kuklux—for he calls all Southern men Kuklux—if they go to hunting down and shooting these men, there will be war, and a bloodier one than we have ever witnessed.

I have told them this and more; there is not a Radical leader in this town, but is a marked man, and if a trouble should break out, not ene of them would be left alive.
