LETTER FROM THE COEXTIi V.
Mb. Editor : I did intend to give you
a few though 1 ® on the late Sabbath
School celebration at Mount Zion Camp
Ground, but have concluded that your
self being present on that very pleasant
occasion, you or someone else who was
present also, had preceded me in the
matter, and your readers had,' ere this
seen the communication. It may suffice,
therefore, for me to say, not being a citi
zen of Brooks County myself, that it was
well done. The turn out by the different
Schools was very fine for the country, the
speeches were good, the dinner was good
and bountiful, but the singing lacked “en
thusiasm.” The voices were good enough,
hut the “time” was badly kept. Not
being a singing man ourself, we should
not perhaps say so much.
The country affords but very little
news of interest, now that the crops are
all made, and there is no speculation
about the catterpillar, rust Ac. At pres
ent there is more said in all circles about
“Imperialism” than on any other subject.
In many respects Gen. Grant is looked
upon by the American people as a pot ra
tions phenomenon. Beyond this we see
nothing as yet to warrant a suspicion.
Should lie accept a nomination, however,
for a third term, it will look like lie is
ready to become a < la-sar or a Cromwell,
and fu;t’lermore, the party making the
nomination will either be ready or get
ting ready for “Imperialism.” If we ev
er have an empire, it will tie because the
majority of the r people have become 1 1 red
of republicanism, and want a change.
Should Grant ever become emperor, it
will be the fault of the people not hi
Heretofore a large standing army
has been the first requisite to es
tablishing of an empire; but in this case,
should we he tending in that direction,
the thing will be done without the fire ot
gun'. According to so.no newspaper,
correspondents, Mr. A. 11. Stephens is
made to say some things ot» the subject.
He does not think there is any danger of
imperialism, but there is of consolidation.
If we are ever consolidated as a nation,
will we not, as a matter of fact, become a
monarchy, governed by an imperial h ;el ;
whether be be king or emperor? For
our part weean but hope that Mr. Ste
phens is misrepresent'd, am! "ill not be
lieve the statement without confirmation-
Some say that Gen. Grant wou! 1 have
used the opportunity at th ■ close of the
war, before the army was disband- and, but
these should remember that at that time
neither army or public opinion would
have sustained such an enterprise. But
now we fear the country has become
quite demoralized enough to submit to a
change in the form of the government,
and whenever that time does come, if it
has not already come, the man will ap
pear, whether it bo Grant or someone
else.
Your correspondent was present for a
few hours on lust Sabbath at the “district
conference’’ of the colored methodist
church, convened at the camp ground.
There was great disappointment, and
disaffection growing out of the fact that
they did not have a live colored Bishop.
We heard tw’o sermons and as many ex
hortations and prayers.and was well pleas
ed with the efforts, all things considered-
We were very sorry to notice that many of
the younger portion of the congregation
followed the example so long set, and so
faithfully carried out by tho white people
—that of standing on the seats. We did
hope that the negroes would have better
manners. And now that the negroes did
so, we hope the white people will not fol
low so bad an example.

LEARXIXG TO CUEfV TOBACCO.
Moultrie, Ga., Sept. 11, 1873.
; Editors Q'litman Barrier:
While in Worth county a few days ago,
i I had the pleasure of meeting, at the
house of a much esteemed friend of mine,
a company of “good fellows,” and among
the number John C. who, as usual with
him, was “full of life,” and in “merry
mood.” Among the subjects of conver
sation tobacco and how we came not to
use it came up. After a good many had
told their experience either in using or
i not using, John C. gave us his, which
was, as near as we can recollect, as fol
| lows : “When,” said he, “I was quite a
| small chap, it entered my head that it
I would be very nice and manly to chew
! tobacco, and knowing that father and
mother would never consent to it, I took
particular care to not mention my inten
tion. There was a little store near our
house, and the proprietor was very liber
al to us small boy's, and one day gave me
a little “square” "of tobacco for doing
him a small favor; and I thought this a
favorable time to commence my tobacco
education; so I took a good big mouthful
of the weed, and commenced to chew in
earnest. (I forgot to mention that it
was near the twiddle of June, and 1 had
a few moments before taken a large bait
of blackberries.)
I chewed and spit finely for a time, but
directly my lips some how became too
v.i ak to throw off the spittle, and I had
to take my hand and pull the roapy stuff
from my mouth. I soon felt I must get
away from that place, for 1 would have
to east upnc- mints. I made my way for
home, and about half way up to the
house was a large shade tree, I stopped
there, and my stomach turned wrong
side out. I never sa w such a pile of
blackberries from any one’s stomach be
fore or sine-. I east up accounts for
about half an hour when mother discov
ered me and came to my assistance. She
carried me to the house, and sent after
the doctor under the impression that 1
had eaten something poisonous. He
gave me a whole lot of nasty tasted stuff,
which I swallowed and said nothing of
the tobacco, for 1 know it would not do
to tell, rat b ngth got well, and th< n I
commenced to filch little pieces of tobac
co from father, which I earned carefully
wrapped in a cloth to prevent it staining
my pocket. Father had bought a lot ol
sorry tobacco, among wlm-h was a box
of “pig tail.” Well, it was as black as
tar, and if you bent it, it would break
like dry hog weeds, and it tasted like a
rat’s nest, i commenced upon this box,
and kept filching until I bad used the
whole box, by which time I had scraped
together a- little money, and concluded
to buy some. All tin’s time I was chew
ling on the sly. I bought four or five
plugs and hid it out in a hollow log. In
a few days I was passing that way, hunt
ing. I stopped to get mo a piece of to
bacco, and, gentlemen, it would have as
tonished any of you to have seen the
’ terrible dimension to which my tobacco
ha-1 grown. There had been a rain, an 1
“she had swelled.” That was simply all.
Isoongotto being public in chewing
arrangements, and never had any more
trouble, only to get good tobacco, for the
horrible “pig tail” experience gave me
a distaste against sorry stuff.”
Such was his experience, but you lose
all the fun unless you could have heard
| and seen him relate it. When he finish
! ed another was called up, and we had
I quite an experience meeting, though
j some were good, none, in my opinion,
! could equal John C’s,
Rambling Jack.
A LIVELY GHOST.
Fora ghost, the Democratic party is
extremely lively and wide-awake. After
every contest, the Imperial organs assure
their readers, with great gravity, that
the Democratic party is at last dead. At
the beginning of each campaign, these
same organs insist that post mortem ex
; animations have really been had, and the
i Democratic party is actually and forever
i dead. And they tell us just what it died
lof also. The .Evening Journal, utterly
unable to find anything in the position
i assumed by the Democrats of Ohio and
Virginia, of whieh to complain, parades a
' frightful ghost with which to terrify the
people from welcoming the Democracy
. as one who shall save them out of the
! hands of the Philistines. The Adminis
tration [-arty is full of rottenness, and
: the people demand its overthrow. The
I Democracy propose to apply the eternal
j principles of their organization to the
I destruction of the Imperial plunderers,
| and the Radical organs can find but one
j way to prevent it. They know they de
i serve defeat. They know they merit con
: demnation. They know they ought to
r>e stripped of power. And so they con
j jure up ghosts with which to intimidate
i i.he people. This party, whose utter
ances so please you, says the Journal,

has a sickcn’ng visage, a horrid form, til
I decrepit hearing; and so it rings tin
! changes of “Dough-Face,” “Copper j
| head” and “Bourbon.”
I The Radicals have mist.ikon the peo
ple. Po it. Dough-Face, yet- the lac.'of
that party is certainly set right., while the
; face of th-' Administration is altogether
wrong. Copperhead or no, it will chase
. the plunderers away. Bourbon or not,
| it will overthrow the Imperial despotism
i which oppresses us. There is nothing
I alarming in tin's-.' ghostly apnritions.
i Tho danger is from tho living Republican
| organization. And it takes a live party
i to overthrow it.
Sueh a party is the Democracy. That
party bolds Connceti- -it., alt- mate, with
I tho Republicans in tho control of Now
Hampshire, and oven alarms t hem in the
State of Maine. New York in naturally
Democratic, and New Jers -v usually so.
In Ohio the party is so stalwark as to
seriously alarm the Republics us, notwith
standing their boasted unconcern. Del
aware, Maryland and Virginia arc to be
depended upon. West Virginia is Dem
ocratic. North Carolina is divided, but
will not remain so. Georgia is strong
and free. Louisiana, is only held down
by Fdderal bayonets. Texas is Demo
cratic. Tennessee is righting, Kentucky
is entirely one way. iU-iiouri has a
Democratic Governor. (V.lii'ornla and
Oregon alternate I- twe«n the two pariies.
And so with other States. Avery largo
majority of the white people -o' the na
tion are Democrats. And an immense
preponderance agree upon the soundness
an-1 utility of Democratic principles.
To call a party thus vitalized “dead”
or “moribund” is to betray fear. It is
stronger, even in its ghoatliness, with the
conscience of the people, than ii* the Ad
ministration party. If. hag then, but to
bo ti'ii-'to its prin Ipl-'s, in order to re
sume its rightful position at the head of
affairs. Albany Aig'ts.

she Idlest God that actual v.aut had n direr j

But., at length a dark day came. Tim j
racking cough which hud so long and: .tre-a;- j

could no longcrriss from her bed. After |
the. scanty earnings were exhausted, th- 1 1
few articles of furniture w- re part- -1 with j
one by one, to obtain the d.oly loaf ol j
bread; but in a lit tie Fum this resource
failed, and ghastly famine glared upon
them.
To-day, little Alice had wan-b red out, j
hoping to fin-1 a few sticks with which to j
make a little blaze, and on her ivl urn she I
found her sister much weaker.
“Dear Jenny,” said the child, “leould |
find nothing to cat, but. these i urniju and j

washed them quite clean at the pump

an old woman, with a bag on her bark

took them. A policeman saw her, and
said, “Let the child alone,” or she might
have hurt me word-, she was so angry.
But poor sister, you are almost starv dto
death, I will cook these things as soon as
| I can make the fire go. There arc six
matches left in the box; I have a lot off
paper It found in the street just a,lter tbs-v
bad swept a store.” The child set ht
sclf busily to work, and soon a little glow
was kindled, and the only saucepan set
over it with a little water, and the unin
viting repast was prepared.
“You cannot eat it Jenny,” said the
child, with tears in her eyes, as s-st-r
p it aside the dish after a slight effort to
eat;
‘■You have don i very nicely, little sis
ter,” she said; “but I do not feel much
hunger now. I think I am [cist that.
So take the rest yourself, darling. I nev

sister, and don’t s li so wildly, dear one.
There, go to sleep, love,” an-1 she gather
ed the sobbing child to her bosom, and
soothed her as a mother would heiTright
ened, suffering bub-'.
It was broad daylight, when Alice
awoke. She was very stiff and cold and
looked about for Jenny. She seemed to
be kneeling by the bed-side, but when
Alice spoke, there was no answer. The
l a ■' wa - colorless a.s marble, and a sweet
| smile wreathed the thin white lips. She
| seemed to have via n at night, for the lit -
[ lie ettp of water, nu !to have di< -1 as she
knelt, to breathe . prayer to the kind
Father, who in love gathered her into his
glorious fold, whei e cold and hunger and

burial place. No one heeded it, except
one breaking heart which Hung itself
upon the rough box, and shrieked as
they tor-' her from it.
It was all over, an-l It!lie Alice found
homeless and friendless in the great bust
bug city. She was almost slat pi tied by
grief, and almost u:r- lissio'isly she wan
dered to th-' in r .'el near the river, and
stopped lo warm her lingers at a little
charcoal furnace. A stout Jersey farmer
was standing near, dressed in a shaggy
"great emit,” with a woolen comfort ;r
about, his neck. 1: nude room for her
beside the tire, and look'd comp isionate
ly mi her thin, old ilre-s and.shivering
frame, llis 1... b- -v-n band brought
out a rosy-chiek'd apple from his ov-.r
eoat pocket, with hho gave to Alice. Th- 1
tears came in the ey.;s of the poor, fam
ished child, as she eagerly took it, ex
claiming, “Ou thank you, thank you, sir.”
It was eat,-'ii quickly, and the fanner
who had watched II pi'ients, said.
“I wish I had u'u-ther for you ,little
girl, you seem to like apples so well.
Your folks should not let you com-' mil
such a cold day with them thin clothes
on, and no shawl licit,her.”
Just then a euar-e market-woman, ev
idently in u bad humor, came along, and
giving Alice a rude push, bade her “be off
with her rags, and not take up the room
of her betters. Wai-di-ng a -haii- c t<-
steal soiii- thing from the stands,! don't
doubt ?” she add-'-l.
The child moved slowly" nn-l tearfully
