They certainly kept me up until I reached home, and from their, use I have been improving ever since. My wife has jnst presented me with a tine boy, and, to show our Appreciation of vour Bitters, have named the little fellow Edward Wilder. Yours, very respectfully. ‘ E. G. BRADLEY. IT WILL CyHE DY8PESIA, LIVER COMPLAINT, And all species of tionalist by Paul H. Hayne: The Rain! the desolate Rain I Ceaseless, and solemn, and chill— How it tfrips on the misty pane, How it drenches the daikened sill! O 1 scene of sorrow and dearth, 1 would that the wind awaking To a fierce and gipsty hjirtlj, Might vary this dull refrain Of the Rain, the desolate Rain; For the heart of Ileaven seems breaking In tears over the fallen Earth! And again, again, again. We list to the sombre strain— The long, low monotone, (Whose soul is is a mystic moan), Of the Rain, the Rain, the Rain, The low, despairing Rain! The Rain! the mournful Rain I Weary, passionless, slow; 'Tis t’ue rhythm of settled sorrow, 'Tis the sobbiDg of cureless woe, And all the Tragic of life. The pathos of Long Ago Comes back on the sad refrain Of the Rain, the mournful Rain, The desolate, dreary Rain, ’ 'J\Il the graves in mg heart unclose And the dead icho are buried there, From a solemn and weird repose Awake, but with eye-balls drear, And voices that melt in pain, On the tide of the plaintive Rain, (The yearning, hopeless Rain, With its passionless, slow refrain,) pf the dim, Autumnal Rain The long, low, whispering Rain ! | belief that when you 1 of the' rich, lt is my convinced The Common Sense of the Case.

The simple ques is. will such of our citizens as arc permitted, register ami vote at these military elections ; so that under the de facto government thus i in loosed on us they may exercise, some con trol in the management of our affairs, until the rigutful authority shall be recognize., and' re stored, or in ease it should fail of re-esfablish- ment. The proper answer is too plain for question. We are constrained to submit, for the time being, to the despotism which lias It was apparent that the reorganization of been imposed on us ; it would be alisurd to re- the political institutions of the South would fuse to profit by such ameliorations as urbltra- •ountry. They regard that sort of government I as repugnant to our institutions, anil deprecate | its prolongation anywhere as a misfortune.— j They do not de.-ire on the other hand, that the people, enfranchised by their action, shall be left altogether and yrhoBy subject to .the con trol of those by whem they have been hereto fore held in servitude. Other considerations have contributed their influence to the adop tion of the measures now to be executed. most speedily terminate the necessity of mili tary occupation and military control. If the presence of troops was necessary to enforce the rights of freedmen, the obvious remedy, in a Republican form of government, was to give the enfranchised race, by means of the ballot, tlq,- power to enforce respect for their privileges as citizens. The advocates of universal suf- profit ry power has chose to accord. The citizens, therefore who allowed the op tion will, we trust, all register and all vote ; and will endeavor to secure the election of the best men, to administer such offices as the military power chooses to leave to our man agement.

Brown was Governor of G ojgjn at the time the'state seceded, and that there was a majority of Union men in the State and in the ivention at the time of secession, and that the Convention which seceded would not have done so had it not been for the influence and extraordinary exertions of the said Joseph E. Brown. Your committee further report, that Joseph E. Brown was'the first man led us out of the Union in great haste, to our utter ruin, and lie ought therefore to be the last to attempt to lead us in again; and that bis late letter, therefore, is a lasting disgrace to them and in sult to many loyal men in the State, except the negroes he has caused to lx- freed.' Your committee find, and so report, that tin- said Joseph E. Biown dictated the letter to himself, requesting him to write the said letter, for the sole purpose of thrusting his views on a suffering people, whom lie lias ruined,'and that his letter was written lor his own benefit. We further report that in our opinion it is unnecessary and unwise to call the present Lcgislatuic together for tlie purpose of carry ing out the late act of Congress. We think the Governor ought to issue His proclamation', jyhielr he has an implied right to do under the act of Congress, calling bn I'm loyal people of Georgia to hold an election for <full-gates to SCHEDULE OF THE A..& W.

BY GKOEGF. D. rilENTICE. ’Twas but a bubble, yet ’twas bright, And gaily danced along the stream’ Uf life's wild torrent in the light Of sunbeams sparkling—like a d.eaui Of Heaven’s' luiss, ,f or'1oviTuiesS — For flectness like a p; s-fing thought, And ever of such hopes as these The issue of my life is wrought ; For I have dreamed of pleasures when. 'fhe sun of young existence smiled Upon iriy -wayward path, and then Her promised sweets my heart beguiled. But when I came these-sweets Jo sip',' They turned to gait upon my lip. And I have dreamed of friendship, too, For friendship I had thought was made To be made mail’s solace in the shade, And glad him in the light, and so I madly thought to find a friend Whose soul with mine would sweetly Llond, And as two placid streams unite, And roll their waters in the blight An l tranquil torrent to the sea, So might our happy spirits be Borne onward to eternity. But he betrayed me and with pain I woke to sleep and dream again. And tjier I dreamed of love, and all The clusfered visions'of the Past’ Seemed airy nothings to that last Bright dream. It threw a magical. Enchantment on existence—east A glory on my path so bright I seemed to feel and breathe its light. But now that blissful dream iso’r, And I have waked to dream no more. Beyond each distant glimmering star That twinkles in the arch above, There is a world pf truth and love, Which earth’s vile passions never mar. Oh. could I snatch-the eagle's plumes, And soar to that bright world away With glories of eternal day. How gladly every lingering tie That binds me down to earth I’d sever And leave for that blest home on high This hollow-hearted world forever. From the Washington (Ga.) Gazette A Marvelous Hen Story. Mr. Editor—1 warrant that 1 liat'c got most intelligent and peculiar fowl either ' in Wilkes or Lincoln county. She is quite a large I size lieu, between the common dunglpll fowl and the Shanghai. My little daughter eaij ! take the hen ufH>ri her knee 1 and pat her on ! the back and say “sing Betsy,” for that is her name, and she will begin to sing as requested. I She'will'then say "sing loud Betsy,” and she will then sing at the' very top of her voice, I which is very loud, for she has got an excel- : Tent pair of lungs. Slie will say “sing soft, Betsy,” and she will change from the loud i toue to a very soft one. And to cap the cli max in the way of oKeying and pleasing tlie : children, my little niece put Betsy in a chair 'be other day, began to pat her on the back, saying at the same time, “lay me an egg, Bet- ! sy.” Betsy sung a very short, soft song, and then stood up in the chair, and to the great de- | light cf the children, there lay in the chair ; an egg. She will follow my wife all over the ; house, yard and garden, just like a pet dog, and will sing or not, as s.ie is directed to 'do. I If yon know of anything that can beat that, you can get my old hat for a nest, and a dozen of Betsy’s eggs for a setting. She is watched very close by the children ap.d v/oigui folks, and is prized very highly hiit If she ever crows after sundown, or makes any unusual noise, her head will he certain to be chopped off, for that is the fate of every rooster on our place that ever attempts any such thing.

During the proceedings: rich incident occurred. It seems that the clerk of the convention had iipscrted the term “colored” on his roll, opposite ttic names of the colored members. On the roll being call cd at the session referred to, Mr. Did: Key Jas. Sinclair, better known as the “fighting garson,”'arose, and moved that the term col tired be expunged, as not respectful to the col ored delegation. Jas. H. Harris, an intelligent and respected colored man, arose-, and said he did not see any good reason for llie proposi tion. The record was literally true. God hiid made them colored men, and he was not ashamed of anything that God had done. lie was not ashamed of Air color, and he hoped the gentleman from Robeson was not ashamed of his ! The “fighting pardon” caved in. ;u(.ht r.AssuxTjRi; 511.WJ. Leave Angqstn 8.30 P. M. Leave Atlanta 0.30 P. M. Arrive at Augusta'. 0.15 A. M. Arrivy at Atlanta 7.00 A. M".
