JYotn (As Banner of the South.
The Prostrate South to the Radical
North.
BY PAUL B. UAYKK.
’Mid the tumnlt. the hnrry, the madness,
Os the strifes that convulse you to-day—,
Mid the echoes atfrantical gladness
That the llua is still hi h o’er the Gray -,
Are ye deaf to the tempest which sunders i
The last ties that hind ns to faith.
Are ye deaf to the roll of the thunders
Korerunniig the blackness of death !
’Tie true that they bear but a distant
Faint menace from lands of despair;
Where the spirit once proudly resistant,
Hath sighed it* last gasp on the air;
But a Fate mutters low in that warning,
And the South-winds are laden with doom— !
Aye! crush the wild omen with scorning !
Aye! dance on the verge ol your tomb!
Yc have swathed us with cloud-palls of sorrows,
Yonr breath was the breath of Simoons
Ye have stolen all light from our morrows,
And withered our freshest heart blooms
But the Hates your blind fury hath planted,
The dragon's teeth sown in yonr ire,
As from heat *f Hell's furrows enchantod.
Grow warm, and burst upward In Are !
Armed warrior demons of ravage,
Unquelled by a spell or an art,
Fierce, monstrous untamablr savage.
And thinning for blood from the heart:
Your hearts that are ruddy and swollen,
Not ours so drained and so oold -
With no food but those memories olden.
Os a tale that has long since been told.
Do ye think to escape O! my masters—!
Do ye say 'tis a dream of sick thought—!
A night mare of phantasmal disasters,
To remain all nnfeared and unwrought!
O! fools, and O! blinded ! yo see not
That wrath in its might!
Not a drop of the life blood of heroes
By yonr hirling Vandals laid low ,
But shall poison the sleep of the Nero*s
M ho caused the red torrents to flow—;
Not a pang of our wives and our daughters,
Or sluin, or all maddened with doles.
But shall pierce thro’ hot visions of slaughters,
To the depths of yonr agonized souls !
Soon,-soon, ye shall compass the anguish,
War's visage bent near you must bring,—
The vague fears that smoulder and languish,
The keen pains that harrow and sting:
By your thresholds, blanched, sorrowful faces.
On your marts the gauut figures of care,
Peep wailings in desolate places,
Winged wild o’er the pall and the bier !
With the terrible woe that comes only
Wh <1 hope has beeiustrangled in gore.
When distraught, and despairing and lonely,
Yon stand on a blood deluged shore--
With the last friend of liberty perished,
With the last chance of ransom undone,
And the fair face of freedom uncherished,
Lying maagled and stark in the snn:
With the knowledge this fearful undoing
Yonr band, and yours only'bath wrought,
Till the blackness ot darkness and rain
Shall fell like a madness on'though:
And you feint, and sink down in dumb languor,
Appalled and accursed by your Past—
For the flames of God’s infinite anger
Have seurched you, and scathed you at last!
From the Banner of the South.
We Still JUve.
There is a very pretty classic fable,
which aptly illustrates the present con
dition of the Sonth. It is related that
Anteetm was a giant who gathered new
strength in his combats every time he'
was dashed to the earth. The earth was
his mother, and as her son tripped upon
her bosom, she infused such strength in
tiis veins that be became invincible to
every foe. So with the South cruel war
laid her prostrate, bhe was leveled with
the earth, but the earth that grows the
sugar cane and the cotton, gave her
fresh power; and, to-day, thanks to the
dear old mother her youth is renewed
like the eagle’s and she rises from humil
iation like Animus of old.
Three hundred millions in cotton; a
sugar crop such as has not been known
in years; a yieid of tobacco that is some
thing surprising; arc the jnbilant notes
of ihat tiding which reaches us of what
has been done in the South in the year
just past. Starting with no debt, or but
very little working, literally from the
ground np, the South is to day rearing
her head anew among the peoples; and
as her brow greets once more the sights,
all men can see that the chiefcst star in
her diadem aie yet lustrous with hope,
with glory, and with power. Who says
she is powerless ? Who whines we aid
wrong over the sods that enshrine the
departed brave ? Who now is ready to
abase his face in the dust and his hand
to his mouth ? If such there be let him
<!f part out of Israel for in this revival of
glory,lthere is no part nor lot for the
weak knee, and craven, and suoak. In
the wonderful prosperity wherewith it
! lias pleased Infinite Mercy to bless ns in
j the past year ; in the noble prospeci
, there reaches before ns of further boun
; tiftil harvests in this; in the rush that is
now making of our quondam oppressors
; to invest their means in this laud; in the
pledge these investments give that eve
i ry msn who makes them or is interested
1 in them will henceforth though only (row
I mere selfishness, cast his vote against
further anarchy, despotism and wrong;
| aye l aud in the almost solemn hush that
this bound as it were of the South into a
: promise of wealth and power has brought
I about—iu all of them, are written the
lesson that was conveyed in the motto of
the Southern Confederacy, Deo Vindice :
i for though' it pleased Him to abase th e
j Good Cause, it was only for a moment,
I and now in another way than we thought
: in a way that we knew not of, lo! look
| you he is indeed our avenger, our Sns
tainer and our Guide to a speedy future
where the stoutest of the enemy will not
so much as dare to wag his head at the
Rebel, but shall rather seek to take him
by the hand and swear by that mustard
seed his soul that he in good truth nev
er hated the Sonth, but loved it in his
heart, and wag never inclined to think it
had the light.
Is tliis picture overstrained ? Let us
see. Just twenty years ago, Hungary
fell before the bayonets of Austria and
the Czar. Men said its hope was gone,
and doubtless there were many smug
fellows who advised acquiescence and \
accepted the situation even as one of old
accepted of thirty pieces. But others j
there were who spat at and defied tiie
cruel tyrant and hid deep in their hearts
the memory of the past and the purpose
of the future. Twenty years past and
now we see no later than this very last
past month that the Emperor of Austria
propitiates Hungary and to secure the
assistance of her people, gives Hungary
her own. Look to Italy. llow short a
time since was it scarce ten years, that
the Austrian sabre rattled in Venetian
palaces and Austrian grenadiers stood:
guard iu Lombard cities. Now cast
your eyes there; the banuer of Austrian |
dominion no longer is seen, and Venice j
is mistress of herself. Circumstances, \
you see are too strong for tyrants. The i
Earth loves her children, and when the
strong hand hurls them down forthwith
she sets them up strength in their limbs
courage iu their hearts and fire in their
eyes.
What happened to Hungary, what Ve
nice saw come to pass, is now enacting
in the sweet South. Eight years sir.ee,
the war drums throbbed their warning,
and the trumpet called the valiant to play
j the man. Four yea,s since the stnokc
| wreaths molted away into thin air on the
I field of battle and now in turn the dark
clouds of treacherous oppression begin
ito break. Not one of the “loil’' but when
ho nears the marvelous wealth of the
South yearns to put his money there and
| not one of them mark you, when he does
put his god in Southern land or mills, or
! cotton but will be as»stauncli an oppo
nent of further iniquitous and paralyzing
| legislation as the truest of us all. Good
coineth out of e\il and for the Almighty
; Dollar these men will vote and speak,
and nse their influence; yes, and if need
be fight just as we for a restoration of
good laws and the maintenance, uphold
ing and enforcement of the Constitution
of our fathers.
Antaeus, you see, is now the South.— I
Has I ecn dashed to the ground and the j
foe thought his victory secure, but from
the ground uprising, blackened and bol- j
stered by the kindly, fruitful Earth, An
tseus is on his feet once more and now
look to it ye who tripped him, lest if you
do not give him his own he will wrench
it from you in a day when there shall be
uone to help but many to laugh at your
calamity and mock when your fear
cometh.
The Prospects of Georgia in Wash
Ington
The Atlanta Constitution has the fol
lowing from a “well-advised” correspon.
dent writing that paper from Washing
' ton, under date of the lTtb instant:
j “I feel well assured that Congress will
not interfere further with reconstruction
in Georgia. Every indication of the Con
gressiona! barometer justifies this state
i roent. The disposition and the desire to
[interfere is unabated by Congress but a
fear of provoking a rupture with the
: President elect, is a matter of too much
importance to hazard on a mere perso
[ nal issue gotten up by his Excellency.
| The exaggerated stories which have
; been retailed before the Ilcconstrnctmn
Committee by suffering loyalists from
Georgia were-so extravagant and unrea
sonabie that the whole matter has be
! come ridiculous. Besides, the letters nf
Judge Warner, addressed to certain
prominent members of Congress have
j done great good. Unless-his Excellency
j can provoke a quarrel with the Legisla
ture, whereby he can show to Congress
’ that his dignity has been offended, there
is but little danger of a second "recon
j struction.” The governing spirits of
j Congress as yet have found r,o tenable
; basis of action in Georgia matters as the
I case now stands: hence a desperate ef
\ fort will be made to make to Legislature
1 do or say something whereby a case can
be made out.
i A snare lias evidently been set for
the Legislature, and the ardent impulsive
i members cannot be too cautious,
i It is believed here, by the friends of
- Georgia, that the most politic arid judi
i s;-. ill ths press ti: rr, i uzs siaiiTS maintain, unawed by fear and unbribed by gain.
QUITMAN, GEO., JANUARY 29, 1869.
,lions move tiiat could be made by the
Legislature would be to adjourn until
alter the 4th of March next. All will be
well after that time, 1 speak advisedly.
Au. Dan,, tutors. Many fatal cxplu
si,.ms of Kcrcscne Oil in New York City
has aroused an inquiry by the New Board
|of Health as to the cause thereof. The
following statement of the Analytical
; Chemist of the Board will be received
with astonishment every where:
Prof. Chandler, the Analtical. Chemist
of the Board presented a lengthy report
upon kerosene oil. He explained that
: the benzine and other explosive impuri
ties—-have least marketable value were
permitted to rernaiu in burning oils
j through the cupidity of the manufacturer,
i A good burning oil should be free from
benzine; yet of some eighty specimens
he had purchased from the shops in this
j city, every one contained a large por
tion ot tins dangerous element, lie had
; bought some that gave off an inflamma
ble vapor at 18 degress, (Fah.) and took
lire from a match held au inch above its
| surface. Others vaporized at 31 degrees;
(Fa 11.,) 40, 45, etc., and ho was unable
to find any kerosene on sale in the city j
j that was safe to use. Uood kerosene
J should not give oft’a v apor below 100
| degrees,(Fall.,) or take fira below 110.
j Iu the eighty specimens ho purchased
| not one reached this standard of safety ;
yet all might be made safe' at a trilling
l iucrease ofoobU
The maaufactnren of the impure and
dangerous article of daily consuption
certainly have hearts of demons. They
are base enough to throw a railroad pas
senger train off the track.

Improved Cotton Culture.— The crier- 1
gy and intelligence of the Southern plan
| ter is*being brought to bear in numerous i
efforts to enlarge the amount, of cotton I
' grown per acre as well as to improve
j the quality, and wc are hopeful that aj
I rapid advance may be looked for in this j
' direction in a short time. The Yorkville !
| (S. S.) Enquirer of the 14th instant j
says:
[ A gentleman in Edgefield, in this
j State raised last year fifteen liun
! dred pounds ot lint cotton to one acre of j
land, ije planted two stalks to the hill, j
j at a distance es eight foot each way. The j
I hills were prepared each way as if for
! transplanting fruit trees being dug down !
I to a depth of twenty inches and two feet I
; diameter. Sandy loam and manure were j
| then filled in arid the seeds planted. The
enormous yield is attributed to the thor
| ough subsoiling the manure and the !
i space—the latter being sufficient to al j
| low the rays of the sun to penetrate to
the lower branches of the plant and do- j
velope these fully. As cotton is essen- j
tially a sun plant, never thriving unless
fully supplied with suri warmth, the phi-j
losophy of ttiis method is at once appa
rent. Another method has been tried in
Union District with the Dixon improved
seed. This is to subsoil deeply and plant
iu hills three feet each way thinning out j
the plants when large enough to two in I
each hill. About fifteen hundred pounds
of seed cotton to the acre wore obtained j
from a five acre field planted late in the j
spring in this way.
The Siamese Twins. — We learn by the
latest English papers that Chang and
Eng, otherwise known as the Siamese
Twins, had visited Edinburgh to obtain
the advice of professorSvme as to the ad
visability of severing the intercommuni
cating band by which they baye been so
long held together. On the 23d of lie
cernber Chang and Eng waited on Pro
fessor Syme at the University for this
purpose. After a careful examination,
Professor Synie was strongly of the opin
ion that such an operation would prove
highly dangerous to their lives, aud ac
cordingly advised that the operation
should not be performed. Sir James Y.
Simpson, Bart., also entertains tbe same
view. It is intended, however, to take
the advice of a Paris professor on the
subject.
There is no case on record in which
the bite of the Esquimaux or Spitzcnber
gen dogbas caused hydrophobia. These
dogs are generally white in color, with
long straight Hair, and eyes like dia
monds. They are far more valuable as
pets than the “black and tan.” Their
affection tor children is very remarkable.
They have only one fault—if you don’t
take your churick of ice into the house,
iu summer time, your Spijzcnbcrg dog
will lie upon it until it is melted.
“The dearest spot on earth is home/’
the song beiDg believed. Mr. Peggett
says it’s true —costs him twice as much
as any other spot—ruins, in fact a SIOO
spot each month.
A gentleman traveling on a steamer,
one day at dinner, was making way
with a large pudding close qy, when ho
was told by a servant that it was desert.
“It matters not to me,” said he, ‘I would
eat it if it were a wilderness.”
An Irishman in writing a letter to his
sweet-heart, asking whether she would
acoopt of his love or not, writes thus :
“If you don't love ine, plaze send back
