And heard with a bi'ter grin Reports fr^>m the planet he deemed hi: own, As his black subs brought them in. | The Fenian scare in Great Britain pleased His cynical temper well; : And the news from Brazil and Paraguay, From Hayti, Pern and 9*sil B y, Not forgettirg the late Chinese affray, Rather tickled the King of Hell. | But when his scouts of this “Happy Land” Delivered their dark report, The Demon waved in the smoke his hand, And gave a triumphant snort. “ This news,” he yelled, “ is the best I've heard Since sin on earth begaa; The work I favor goes bravely on, The 4 Model Republic ' is dead and gone. And the powers that govern at Washington Have adopted my patent plan.” Then turning to Moloch, His Darkness said, “ I’m off for the Ten Mile Square; Rule thou, old boy, in thy master’s stead, While I see to business there.” The blackamoor carriers, one and all, Applauded their chief like mad ; So he charged his shape, as the Devil can, And up to earth on a fire streak ran, In outward seeming a Congressman, Of the lovely genus Rad. Of course his Blackness was well received By his troop of special friends, Who laid before him the plans conceived To compass their private ends. Thad. Stevens, Sumner and old Ben Wade, Ned Stanton and Butler, too, They told him of dodges, plots and schemes, Atrocious beyond bis foulest dreams, Until he exclaimed, “For me, it seems, There’s nothing on earth to do.” So he turned on his heel and went his way, A sadder, a wiser sprite, Observing, “ A lesson I’ve learned to-day That has changed my purpose quite. I meant to have had these fellows’ souls, When from earthly bonds set free; But I now prefer they should go it alone, In a separate, private hell of their own, For I swear by my horns and tail and throne, They’re a little too much lor me.” From the Southern Christian Advocate. Vesuvius. ^ Letter from Dr. Lipscomb to the Senior Class, University of Georgia.) To Dr. W. Louis Jones, and the Senior Class: GcniUmcn: I have just returned from a par tial asceut of Vesuvius. As some account of tills excursion may be interesting to yon, and j especially so in connexion with your study of I Geology, I have concluded to write you a briefj descriptive letter. Cut I must forewarn you j that I am very much fatigued, and 1 fear j scarcely competent to give you such a narra- j tive as I desire. Vesuvius, as you are aware, is the most ac- j tive volcano in the world. Rising from*the midst of the plaiu of Campania to an elevation | of about 4,000 feet, it is finely situated to give a full and complete impression of its grandeur to the eye of a spectator.

Not far from our position was a sort of bluff or ball of the burning mass, and at intervals large blazing blocks would roll off from the other portion, and with a hissing noise fall down the moun tain side.

No doubt it surprises you that Vesuvius | should be described as so singularly beautiful. ; Certainly it astonished me in this respect. I consider it the most graceful mountain in its outline, in its serial curves, in its entire con- ! tour that I have ever seen. By night you j merely get the spectacle of its awful grandeur. : The fitful flame issuing from its cone, and the j descending streams of lava winding around and through the dark masses of previous erup- • tions which cover the sides fronting towards, Naples, give it an aspect of mysterious terror. While this appearance is not overpowering, yet it is unrelieved by those softer attributes which contribute so much to its symmetrical and flowing shape. Seen by day, its immense base, its rounded regularity, its towering cone, j su bJtance'’tinged with yehow,’lay upon the come at once to the eye in full relief, and as i coo j er j !iva that some resemblance to the fig- it rises section by section, each built or rather j ures formed bv the frogt and wh i c h I supposed growing up out of the other, and, at the same j tQ be sulphur , Yct neilhcr bcre nor elsewhere lime, each gradually shading into the other, it j presents itself with such distinctness and yet in such a mellowed hue that you can conceive i of nothing as Vanted to complete the image , of an ideal mountain. At a certain distance j it looks as if robed in dark velvet. I have j seen it at all hours. Early in the morning its ! beauty shows to the best advantage. The i op pressive ; the air around me had the uudula- tory movement which you have observed in very hot summer days, the vibrations, however, being more rapid, and smiting the skin with a i keenly penetrating force. I rallied in a few ! moments from the fatigue, and the zest of the j hour returned upon me with a quickening vi- | tality. Hard by another variety of the scene ] caught my attention. It was a vent in the form of a funnel, the rocks having been thrown together so as to construct a sort of chimney, and presenting a singular imitation of regular ity iu tbe midst of tbe broken and confused masses everywhere visible. Approaching it as closely as possible, I tried to look down into the apperture, and so far succeeded as to have an instant’s glance at the glowing furnace, which was quite enough for my eyes, if not for my cariosity.

COLE, Superintendent DAY PASSENGER TRAIN. , Leave Atlanta. Arrive at Augusta. Leave Augusta A Smart Quaker. Mr. K', the Quaker president of a Pennsyl vania railroad, during the confusion some years since, called upon the W bank, with which the road kept a large regular account, and asked for an extension of part of its paper falling due in a few days. The declined rather abruptly, saying in a rough tone to that functionary: “ Mr. K., your paper must be paid at matu rity ; we enunot renew it.” ••Very well,” our Quaker friend replied, and left the bank. But he did not let the matter rest ber». On leaving the bank, he went quickly to the depot, and telegraphed to all agents and conductors on the road to reject the W— bank. In a few hours the trains began to arrive, full of panic, i and briag news of the distrust of the W j bank alGalong tbe line. Stockholders and depositors flocked to the bank quaking with { panic, inquiring thus: 41 What is*the matter? Is the bank broke?" j A little inquiry by the officers showed that ; the trouble originated in the rejection of the j bills on the railroad. The president seized his I hat and rushed down to the Quaker’s office, j and came bursting in with the inquiry: 4( Mr. K-, have you directed the refusal of i our currency by your agents ?” “ Yes,” was the quiet reply. ‘‘Why is this? it will rnitrns.” “ Weil, friend L., 1 supposed the bank was 1 going to fail, ns it could cot renew a little pa- • per for us this morning.” It is needless to sav Mr. L. renewed all the i white smoke ascends with a genile and easy motion, sometimes sailing off in widening folds and then again pausing over the cone and arching its volume until it resembles a mag nificent plume bending over that royal head. But while realizing the beauty of Vesuvius, I bad received some other impressions not bunk pre/ident i quite so consonant with tbe pleasures of art. ing in a rough j A visit to Pompeii had brought its tremendous power home to my heart in a very practical manner. After that memorable.dpy amid the houses of the excavated city, I confess that the Mount of Fire began to concentrate its terrible force upon my thoughts at the expense of my former .esthetic sentiment. Both views were true I consoled myself with believing.— And quite alive to their mutuality of merit, I started this morning to go up the mountain as high as would be necessary to satisfy curiosity, ambitiou, and the other, perhaps, better re quisites oT a tourist’s nature. Off we went through Naples, which, if it can be translated from Italian into English, means that we rode through more variegated and diversified and multitudinous shapes of life—through more uproar and uproars—thro' more yells, and screams, and cracking of whips, and jingling of bells, little and big, beiis C2 goats, bells on donkeys, bells on mules and horses—through more beggary and rag^, and the rags of rags, and tbe stitched-together relics of the remains of the rags of rag3—and through more brilliancy and even splendor— than can be seen or heard anywhere out of Naples. We reached Resina, and forthwith began a series of diplomatic performances that would fill a letter. The amount of it was to get three was the appearance of tbe lava precisely what I bad expected. So far from its being a con tinuous stream of fire, roaring and dashing down the mountain, it is more like a slowly' moving bed of coals; but when you thrust a stick into it and open the external crust, you immediately see tbe-blazing channel. The extent of this fiery mass I had no means of ascertaining; its breadth was represented to me at 400 ieet. The entire surface from which smoke was rising at the different points, was estimated by a party present at 300 acres; but such guesswork is extremely uncertain, and I merely allude to them that you may have some general idea of the burning volume. Beyond this mass of grey and black lava lying below the great coue, and interspersed as just described with streaks and precipices of fire, we made no effort to ascend. To toil up a wall of ashes at an angle of forty-five degrees and to a height of 1,500 feet, would | tjeventeen hundred bushels of wheat have been 1700 Bushels of Wheat Produced in Town. An Athens, Ga., correspondent of the Macon Telegraph writes thus of the Athens wheat crcp: “The magnificent silver pitcher offered by the Athens Wheat Club, to the member who should produce the greatest amount of wheat on one acre, was yesterday presented to Mr. E. Banctoft, who harvested forty-three bushels and forty-three pouuds. It was generally supposed that Dr. J.S. Hamilton would receive this prize, but one of his freedmen, to make success doubly sure, added six bundles of wheat to the Doctor’s pile. Dr. H., getting wind of this, refused to accept the medal, though doubtless he deserved it. The quan tity of wheat yielded by the worn out lauds in and around Athens seems to have awakened the people throughout thi3 section to the profit to be derived from using fertilizers upon their old lands, and it certainly demonstrates the fact that this region is as well adapted to the production of wheat as any part of the world.

Ou my walk back., to tbe place where our | horses were left, I was more than ever impress- ! ed with the sublimity of the landscape. Such 1 a picture of desolation is-spread all around ; j suck a concentionn of volcanic agency as these vast piles presented; such contrasts between j their former tumultuous hearings and their still grandeur now;-these united to create an image in my mind to which no past experience furnishes a parallel. The history of eighteen centuries, recording in language that cannot be misunderstood, the power of Vesuvius, lay right before me in an open page. Scarred and seamed was that b»oad page; rifted, too, aDd bleared; but its truths and their mighty mean ings, who could pervert or who fail to feel, or who need the aid of imagination to vitalize produced this season on the small plats within the corporate limits of Athens, while the best ten acres ot the Wheat Club produced 388| bushels. One gentleman produced 13 bushels on one-fourth of an acre, and another sold his premium acre, as it stood in the field, for §150. keep off beggars and disappoint the throng of incarnated rascality by which you are beset j thought aud beseiged at er try step in Itaiy.

A thought this, and we do well to remember. At last the terrible volcano is only another form of the goodness that rules the world.

The story off the balance of it, and remarked that he liked the gin, and would come in and leave j his order after making a few purchases else- where, and left the store. An hour afterwards, while the proprietor i was waiting upon some customers, the gin- ■ buyer returned, and this time tackled one of the clerks with— “I have got to buy some gin to-day and if you have a first rate article I should like to see a sample of it,” Another large sized tumbler full was forth coming, and the old fellow tasted it.

Tbe inevitable tendency of its adoption now would be to defeat the will of the majority. A third of the members of the Convention—belonging to the odds and end3 of personal cliques—under it3 operation have tbe power either to force an objectionable can didate upon the party or to disrupt the organ ization. Its inauguration in 1844 laid the foundation for tbe schism between tbe North ern and Southern wing of the Democratic party, and finally in I860 led not only to the disruption of the only national party then ex isting, but, as a necessary consequence, to sectional warfare. There cannot at this day be a single sound reason advanced in favor of its continuance, and. in the opinion of wise heads, it should be formally abandoned as soon as the 4ih of July Convention assembles. As a substitute, it was thought at the gathering referred to a rule preliminary pledging every member to abide by and support the choice of a majority might answer all practicable purposes.
