QUITMAN, GEO., FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1866.
| Troy anil the Grecian Horse.
Tho subj -ined article appeared in the
North Georgia Timex, anterior ti the war.
A8 illustrative of onr present condition,
we re-prodneo it. New England is at
this very moment introducing a Wooden
Horse into the social fabric uid political i
institutions of the South, and he is filled j
with agents for equal rights associations,
educational emissaries for the blacks, and
Gideonite sehool-nuirms. If we are lulled
into hopeful seenwy by that sort of curi
osity that waits for davolopements, and
results, we will be robbed of our Troy,
and these devils <‘f the YVo don Horse,
wifi devour ns.
‘•Since writing ti e above, it has been
suggested to me that the true meaning |
of the “Grecian horse” may not be gen-1
orally known m our readers. For the
benefit of those who have either never
read the “Iliad,” or do not read it under-1
jtandingly, I would state that Horner, j
the author, was a Greek, who wrote a ■
poetical account ol tho siege of Troy.
After ten years war, the Greeks are rep
resented as having suVee ‘ded by a stra
I tageni. They manufactured an immense
| wooden horse, and during the night car
j ried it to the gates of Troy, and there
left it, filled inside with armed men. In j
I the morning the Trojans, curious to
know how tho structure was put togetli- j
I er, took it in for examination, when the j
Greek soldiers rushed out and opened
the gates to the Grecian army, which ;
thus aided from within, they easily took,
pillaged and destroyed tile city.
This story is a poetical allegory. No j
wooden structure, sulHoientlv large to
contairymen enough for such an enter
prise, could have been carried through |
the gates of a vralled town.—We must!
therefore look below the surface for the j
true meaning, which is plain enough, j
Between the Greeks and Trojans there
existed for many years “an irrepressible I
conflict.” The Greeks were tho inventors j
of letters and the schoolmasters of those !
times. The Trojans were curious, had a I
for learning’, and in an evil hour j
imported Grecian teachers and school- j
masters, who demoralized the young i
minds of Troy, and the result was the
destruction of their city and their en- j
slavomcnt by lie Greeks.
Moreover the "Grecian horse” was an
article of Grecian manufacture, and the
story conveys the further lesson that the
destruction of Troy was in great part
► •aused by the using of Grecian manufac
tures instead of wearing her own home
spun. Tho taking in the “Grecian horse” |
was wliat’ southern planters are now!
.doitijf, viz: buyhg Ohio-raisfd horses
and mules instead ol raising them at j
home.
The Latin peel, Virgil, in his great
Epic, makes the fugitive .Eneas, in the :
bitterness of gt iel for the captivity and ■
dispersion ol his countrymen, exc'aim
que rrgio in terra noxtri non jilena lahvrix, -
meaning “what region of the earth is:
not full of sufferings (or sorrows).”
1 have somewhere read or heap! of a :
great northern statesman, misled by Hie j
similarity of the latin word laboris to the
English word labor, quoting tins line as ;
applicable to the prosperity of New Eng-[
land mumiluctures, as it the poet’s mean-!
ing had been, “what region is not full of I
lour manufactures” (labor.)
Whether the quotation was a happy
• olio, or jjol, on that occasion, certain it >
j is the words were not originally intend
led as a vaunt of manufacturing prosperi- j
i ly, but on the contrary—:m exclamation
jol woe for the gradual impoverishment
and rniri of Troy, caused by buying from
the Greeks instead of manufacturing I
their own boots, shoes, calicoes, etc.
A Good Substitute for Paint-
For the benefit.of our readers, in the |
city and the country, wo puhlisli the fol
lowing receipt: for making a w ish for
j fences and out-buildings, which is said j
!to look almost as well us paint. We!
Gillette from the ( iiemical Gazette :
i ‘Take a clean water-tight barrel or]
I other suitable cask, and put into it. a half j
j btinhei of lime. Slack it by pouring
i boiling- water over it. and sufficient quail-1
I tity to cover five inches deep, stirring it j
j briskly till thoroughly slacked. When i
I slacking has been effected dissolve in
] water and add two pounds of sulphate of
! zinc and one of common sa't. These will
! cause the wash to harden and prevent it
i cracking, which gives an unseemly ap
| pearanpe to the work. If desirable, a
, beautiful cream color may be commtirti
j cated to the above wash, by adding three
I bounds of yellow ochre, ora good pearl
l or lead color by the addition of lamp vine
tor ivory black. For fawn color, add four
] pounds of umber—Turkish or Amercian
i—the latter is the cheaper, one pound of
Indian red and one pound common lamp
black. This wash may be applied with
; a common whitewash brush, and will he
' found much superior, both in appearance
and durability to common whitewash.”

j London Patriot says :
“Mr. E. Litton, M. A., the Rev. Thomas
Davis, M A., incumbent of Roundhay,
and the Rev John Darton, M. A., curate
of Rivcnhall, Essex, all contend that the
natural immortality of the soul cannot
be established either by reason or Scrip
ture—that eternal lile is confcred by
God through Christ upon the redeemed,
and that the wicked are destined literally
ito perish. We have heard, though wo
j are somewhat doubtful of the authority,
] that Mr. Darton has been called to ac
! '.ount for his book by the Bishop of Ro
chester: but after the decision in the
Wilson case, it is not likely that either
he or anv of those who think and write
as he does will be hindered from promul
gating his views.”

Dramatic Sermon.
One of the extremes of political intole
rance in Missouri is the statute prohibi
ting clergymen of any denomination
from preaching who cannot take the test
oath, wherein he swears never to have
: given any aid or countenance to persons
: engaged in hostility against the goveni
! ment of the United States. This much
being premised, our readers will appreci
i ate tilt: dramatic effect of a sermon lately
! preached in Missouri, as described by
j the preacher himself in the Bapf'st Jour
-1 rial. His text was ”Hy that, is without
sin let him cast the first stone:”
j Last Sabebath, us I stepped into the
] house of God, I heard someone say that
' be had no fellowship for a rebel in church
or State, coupling a profane word "with
tiie term. My blood was chilled in my
veins, and the above text rushed into my
mind like pealing claps of thunder. It
was my lot to preach that day ; so I de
termined so use the text to the best, ad
vantage, God being my helper. I read a
a chapter, sjing a hymn and prayed. 1
arose from my knees, went out and pro
cured a stone of some four pounds weight.
Cuming back, 1 took my stand with the
stone in hand. All eyes were fixed on
me. Some appeared to be frightened ;
others laid their hands on their revolvers
preparing for battle, as though ’’death or
victory” were their motto. I read aloud,
“He that is without sin let him cast the
first stone,” and raised the rook to the
top of my head. The people began to
look frightened, but I commenced by ex
aming myself by the golden rule, then
weighed myself in the balance and
found that I was wanting, and bold'\
exclaimed, “ I am a sinner and a rebel
against tbe government of my God and
king: I cannot throw this stone ; I ask
pardon of my God and acknowledge my
allegiance to God in the presence of all
the people.” I then offered the stone to
every man in the house, lint, to my as
tonishment, they all fell on their knees,
and in sobs and tears, one solid petition
went up to God for pardon, to the great
King of kings and Lord of lords.
A Good Hit.

Stevens, the acknowledged leader of the
dominant party in Congress, used the
following language in a speech on the
7th:
Ho believed that this Congress would
not approach the full measure of justice
till every full grown freedrnun in the rebel
States was provided with a homestead
on the land where he had toiled as a
slave Forty acres of land and a hut
would be of more value to him than the
right to vote.
This debauched old miscegenator has
a deepci practical interest in the welfare
of the colored race than most of his own
perhaps; but this grave proposition of a
wholesale robbery of the white lard hol
ders, for the benefit of the black is so
monstrous that the decent freedmeu in
the South would spurn it with contempt.
They let I themselves able to support
themselves without robbing those who
have done more for their race than any
other people on earth. w that

j The proceedings of the first session of
! the Anti-slavey Society, held in New
York, under the Presidency of Wendell
Phillips, on Tuesday last, manifests the
real purpose, without any attempt atdis
guise, of the Radical party. Wendell
Phili ps said, amid such applause, than
he hated the word constitution and called
upon Congress to “continue in session
forever,” and at “whatever cost,” or “by
the exercise of whatever disposition,” to
secure the safety of the nation—meaning
tjie Radical party. He confessed that his
language was “revolutionary,” but said
that to talk otherwise was to 'surrender
the results of the war. We append two
ot the numerous resolutions adopted :
“Resoloed, That the rebellion has not
ceased ; it has otilychangcd its weapons.
Once it fought, now it intrigues ; once
it followed Lee in arms, now it follows
President Johnson in guile and chicanery
once it imd its headquarters in Richmond
now it encamps in the White House.
Resolved. That the President has be
trayed the loyal North ; is bent on giv
ing it over, bound hand and foot, into
the hands of its once conquered foe ; that
he should long ago have been impeached
for gross usurpation in bis high powers
to aid rebellion, and for the treasonable
! purpose of defeating, the secure audjpeace.

The Gai.i.emes of the Capitol.—Wo
clip the following from the Philadelphia
Mercury that!) and may be truo
or not:
We have considerable pity for tho
poor, unfortunate blacks of this district,
who are engaged by the Radicals to com
mit all sorts of outrageous tricks, that
must eventually tell in tenfold upon tho
colored race. At the apitol they have
taken complete possession of all the put
lio places, and on last wo
counted two hundred and thirty-four
contrabands, of the tilt hies character in
the gallery of the House, and as we left
i 1 utter disgust and amazement the dar
kies were pourihg in. A large numterof
them had baskets, with their dinners,
which they eat in the galleries as though
it were an eating saloon. The cushions
are {filled with vermin, that will take
many a bottle of Lyon’s powder to kill
oft’ the creeping things that stick so close-,
to the filthy contrabands.

would be stormy; that he would labor
under extraordinary embararassments
