Never can in comfort live,

Knows the pleasure peace can give.

Rut vile slander from his fellow,
Renders sorrow doubly sure.
Park maybe the days and lowering,
Ceaseless tray the slander tall,
But there is a bright day coming.
Full of brightness for us all.
Dew drops sparkle in the morning
Ere the sun has climbed the skies,
So the darkest, vilest slander
Quickly from the “true man” flees.

Cut slander’s fire can not always glow.

There no slanderer s tongue ran ever,

AN IN WELCOME PASSENGER,
THE PEDDLER'S STORY.
A cold winter's nigl t s> v. ml yen vs
since, found a stage load of passengers
gathered together around the warm fire
of a tavern bar-room in a New England
village. Shortly after wo arrived, a ped
dler drove up and ordered that his horse
should be stabled for the night. After
we had eaten supper we repairt .1 to the
bar-room, where the conversation flowed
freely. Several anecdotes had been r» -
kited, and finally the peddler was called
on to give us a story, as men of his pro
fession are generally full of adventures
and anecdotes.
He was a short, thick-set man, some
where about forty years of lire, and gave
evidence of great physical strength. He
gave his name as Lemuel Yiimey, and
his home was in Dover, N. If.
“Well, gentlemen,” he commenced,
knocking the ashes from his pipe and
putting it into his pocket, “suppose I tell
you about the last, thing of any conse
quence that happened to me. You see
lam now right from the West, and on
my way home for winter quarters. It
was the early part of last spring, one
pleasant evening, that I pulled up in
front of the door of a small village tavern
in Hancock county, Indiana. I said it
was pleasant—l meant warm. I went in j
and called for supper, and had my horse
taken care of. After I had eaten I sat.
down in the bar-room. It began to rain
about eight o’clock, and it was very dark !
out of doors.
“Now I wanted to be in Jackson next
morning, for I expected a load of goods,
there for me, which I int» nded to dispose
of on my way home. The /noon would
rise about midnight, and I knew that if
it did not rain I could get along through
the mud after that, Ro I asked the land
lord if he would r,. that rny horse was

|ft ribing the individual. He said that
lSAid not know him ; he had come that
afternoon, and intended to leave the next j
day. The host asked me why I wished :
to know, and if I was acquainted with 1
him.
“I resolved rot to let the landlord into :
the secret, but to hurry cm to Jackson,
and give information to the Sheriff, and [
perhap/s he might reach the inn before the ]
the villiaiu left, for I had no doubt of his
identity.
“I had an alarm watch, and having
set it to give the alarm at one o’clock, I ]
went to sleep. I was aroused at the
proper time, and dressed myself. When '
I reached the yard I found the clouds’
ffite (Quitman lauiieij.
had passed away, and the moon w as shin
ing brightly. The hostler was easily
• aroused, and by two o’clock I was on the
road. The mud was deep, and my horse
could not travel very fast. However, on
we went, and in the course of half an
hour I was clear from the village. At a
short distance ahead lay a large tract ot
pine forest. The road lay direct through
this wood, and, as near as I can remem
ber, the distance was twelve miles. Yet
the moon was in the cast, and ns the road
ran nearly west, I thought I should have
light enough.
“I had entered the wood and gone
half a mile, when my wagon wheels set
tled with a bump and jerk into a deep
hole. I uttered an exclamation of aston
ishment. But this was not all —I heard
another exclamation from some source.
What could it mean ? I looked quietly
around, but could see nothing; yet I knew
i the sound I heard was near me. As the
! hind wheels came up I heard something
tumble from one side to the other of my
wagon, and I could feel the jar occasion
ed by the movement. It was simply a
man in my cart ! I knew this on the in
stant. Os course 1 felt puzzled. At first
I imagined that someone had taken this
method to obtain a ride. My next idea
j wasthatsomebody got there to sleep; but
| this passed away as soon as it came, for
no man would have broken into a ea.it for
that purpose.- And that thought, gen
j tlemen, opened my eyes. Who ever \va§
j there had broken in. Mv next thought
was of the suspicious individual I had
seen at. the tavern. Ho heard me say
that my load was all sold out, and of
course he supposed that .1 had some mon
ey with me. In ‘his he was right, for I
; had over two thousand dollars. I thought
i he meant to leave the cart when he sup-
I posed 1 had reached a safe place, and
I then creep over and shoot me, or knock
Ime down. All this passed through my
j mind by the time I had got a rod from
the hole.
| “In a few moments my resolution was
formed. My horse was knee deep in mud,
j and Icould slip off without noise. So I
| drew my pistol, and having twined the
I reins about the whip stock, carefully
! slipped down in the mud, and us the cart
! passed on 1 w nt behind and examined
I the hasp. The outer door of the cart
| lets down, and is fastened by a hasp
i which slips over the staple, and is then
; secured by a padlock. The padlock was
gone, and the hasp was secured in its
1 place by a bit of pine, so that a slight
1 force from wifcliiu could break it. My
wheel wrench stood in a leather bucket
! on the side of the cart, and I quickly
i took it out and slipped it in the staple,
I the iron handle just sliding down,
j “Now I had him! My cart was al
i most new, made of a stout frame of white
i oak, and made on purpose for hard usage,
j I did not believe any ordinary man could
! get out. I got into my cart as noiseli m
l lv as I got off, and then urged my horse
| on, still keeping my pistol handy.
I knew that a distance of half a mile or
further I should come to a hard road,
] and so I allowed my horse to pick his
| own way through the mud.
| “About ten minutes after this I heard
; a motion in the cart, followed by a grind
j ing noise, as though some heavy force
! was being applied to the door. 1 said
; nothing, but the idea struck me that, the
; villain might judge where I sat and shoot
up through the top of the cart at me; so
1 sat on the foot-board.
! “Os course I knew my unexpected pas
senger was a Wiliam, for he must have
been awake ever since I started, and
in the world but absolute vil
lainy would have caused him to remain
quiet so long, and then start up in that
particular place. The thumping and
pushing grew louder, and pretty soon I.
heard a human voice.
“Let me out of this !” and he yelled
pretty loud.
“I lifted my head so as to make him
think I was in my usual place, and then
asked him what he was doing there.
“Let me out and 1 will tell you,” he re
plied.
“Tell me what you are in there for,”
I said.
“I got in here to sleepon rags,” he an
swered.
“How did you get in?” I asked.
“Let me out, or I’ll shoot you through
the head !”
“At that moment my horse's feet struck
the hard road, and i knew that the rest of
the route to Jackson would be good
going; the distance was twelve miles. J
slipped back on the foot-board and took
the whip. In fifteen minutes we cleared
the woods, and went at a keen jump, the
chap inside yelling to he let cult. Fi
nally he stopped, and in a few minutes
came the report of a pistol one
two——three four- one, right after
the other, and I heard the balls whiz over
my head. If I had been on my seat, one
of these balls, if not two of them, would
have [gone through me. I popped my
head up and gave a yell, and then said,
Oh ! God save me ! I’m a dead man !
Then I made a shuffling noise as though
I was falling eff, and finally settled down
on the foot-hoard again. I now urged
up the mare by giving her an occasional
poke with the whip-stock, and she peeled
it faster than ever.
“The naan called out to me twice more
pretty soon after this, and as lie got no
reply, he made some tremendous efforts
to break the door open, and as this failed
him lie made several attempts at the top.
But I had no fears of his doing anything
there, for the top of the cart is framed
with dovetails, and each sleeper bolted
to the posts with iron holts. I had it
made so I could carry loads there. By
and-hy, after all else had failed, he com
menced to holler ‘whoa’ to the horse, and
kept it up until lie became hoarse. All
HERE SHALL THE PRESS THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY FEAR AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.
QUITMAN, GA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1873.
I this time I kept quiet, holding the reins
i firmly and kept poking the mare with
| the stock. We were not an hour going
that dozen miles T hadn’t much fear:
' perhaps I might tell the truth and say 1
| had none, for I had-a good pistol, and
more than that, my passenger was safe ;
: yet I was glad when l came to the flour
I barrel factory that stands at the edge of
Jackson village, and in ton minutes more
hauled up in front of the tavern, and
found a couple of men in the barn clean
ing down some horses.
“Well old fellow,” said I, as I got
down and went to the back of the wagon,
"you have had a good ride, haven't you.”
"Who are you?” he cried; and he
swore as he asked the question.
“I tun the man you tried to shoot,”
! was my reply.
“Wheream I? Let me out.”
“Look here, we’ve come to a safe stop
| ping place, and mind! uiy pistol is ready
j for you the moment you show yourself,
j Now lay quiet.”
j “By this time the hostlers had come to
| see what was the matter, and I explained
| the ease. After this I got one of them
I to run and rout the sheriff, and tell him
1 what I believed I’d got for him. The
first streaks of light were just coming,
and in an hour it would be broad daylight
In less than that time the isheriff came,
and two men with him. I told him the
whole affair in a few words, and then
made for the cart. He told the chan in
side who he was and if he made the least
resistance he’d be a dead man. .1 then
slipped the iron wrench out, and as I let
the door down, the fellow made a spring.
1 caughhim by the ankle ami lie came
down on his face, and the moment 1
saw the chap I recognized him. He Was
marched to the lockup, and 1 told the
Sheriff I should remain in town all day.
“After break fast he came down to tlie
tavern and told me that 1 had caught the
very bird, and if I would remain until
next, morning I should have the reward of
two hundred dollars that had been offer
ed.
“I found my goods ;;!! safe, paid the
express agent, for bringing them from
Indianapolis and then went, to slow them
awry in iny cart. The bullet holes were
found in the top of the vehicle ju it. as J
expected. Tin y were in a line about, live
inches apart, and had I have been where
1 usually sit., two of them must have hit
me in the small of the back, and both
charges of powder were heavy ones.
“I afterwards found a letter in the
Dost Office at, Fort: mouth for me, from |
the Sheriff of Hancock county, and he]
informed me that the fellow who tried
to kill and rob me was in prison for
life.”
TOO BA i t.
On Saturday Mr. Join s gave each of
his boys twenty-five cents, to lie expend
ed as their inclinations might dictate,
l ut, at the same time he intimated that
it would be well for them to donate the ;
money to the cause of foreign missions I
on fjiindiiy. The boys, with a pervemity ;
hardly to he credited, when we reflect on j
the advantages they enjoyed from the]
cradle, went to a disreputable shop and j
bought one, five cigar sand the other j
twenty-five cents wort h of five crackers. !
Sauntering home, the one smoking and
the other toying with the fire crackers in
his coat-skirt, pocket, they met their kind
father on Chancellor square. The smo
ker threw away his cigar, which lit on a
bench, and the hoy with the fire crackers
feeling sure that his father would see right
through liis coat,-skirt., sat. down on the j
same bench. The father commenced the!
kind and instructive remarks which ho |
had hastily prepared when he saw his :
boys coming, but had not finished when, j
without any warning, his son on the
bench suddenly became the centre of a j
briliant and rapid series of pyrotechnic
explosions. The unhappy youth gave j
one yell, which in its vigor far surpassed !
the finest vocal efforsts of Captain Jack, I
and immediately left his affectionate pa- I
rent, disappeared down Bleacher street
with the fireworks in progress, and that !
is all we can learn concerning the disap
pearance of the boy Jones. What makes
the affliction doubly sad for Mr. Jones, is
the fact that the lad went eff before the
parent had finished the instinctive obser
vations he was delivering when the affair
occur', and.
One of the saddest cases of early de
pravity and wickedness on record is that ;
of a Boston fourteen year old, who pre- ;

Since 1869, one largojactory lias gone
into operation ill our city, undone of
smaller size in Savannah, and we think
that two or three others have been started
lin the State. The probability is, we
think, that Georgia has, since 1869, in
creased her cotton manufacture in a
greater ratio than any other State.
Still, there is great need of large in
crease, not only in Georgia, but. through
out the South. Os the 740 mills report
ed above, only 83 are located in the cot
ton-growing States, including Virginia
and Tennessee. Os these Georgia has
one-fourth of the mills and one-third of
the number of spindles. Such a showing
for the region raising the cotton a re
gion favored with abundant water power,
and having a large population that would
be glad to get work in cotton factories
is strange and lamentable.
In the matter of consumption of cot
ton, the South makes a littlebettershow,
for the number of its mills and spindles.
While Massachusetts consumes 58 pounds
of cotton to the spindle, and Rhode Is
land 48, Georgia consumes 155 pounds to
the spindle. (These numbers are not. ex
act, but rear enough so to show the rein- ]
lions.) No doubt the comparative fine-1
ness of the goods manufactured in lie
two States named and in Georgia, respec
tively, has something to do with this
great disproportion in their consumption
of cotton per spindle. In the North
much calico and other light goods arc
manufactured, while at the South the
'manufacture is of a heavier description.
But it is not a probable supposition that
this difference in the character of the fa
brics accounts fully for t.lio difference in
the amount of consumption. Wo think
it. is lo a considerable, extent due to the
superior adaptability of tlm South--in
its climate und steadiness of water power
i specially to the niiui.lfaeture of cotton, j
and that herein lies another great ad van- i
tage of which we are not fully availing
ourselves.
The above facts and figures, added to
the working experience of the l.< st. eon- j
ducted mills among us, very strongly in- j
dii-ate that, cotton can be manufactured
more cheaply in our Southern States,
where it is raised, than in any part of the
world. It is the great enterprise inviting
the capital and industry of our people,
and promising them a double return in
its own profit and the largely increased
profit of the cotton culture.
Ait Irish National School.
A specimen National School in Ireland
is thus described :
Built of rough stones to the hight of
six feet, and surmounted with ash ep roof
of thatch old and brown, and interlaced
with ivy and moss—there it stood in it.s
full proportions, twenty-eight, feet by
tweenty, a sample, as 1 have since found,
of the average style of school architect
ure in Ireland. Here were thirty-six pu
pils learning to read, write and cipher—
nothing more. The t,-a.elie”, as in almost,
all the the national schools, was a male
graduate of a training school for teach- ;
ors. His salary, thirty shillings a week, |
or about 8400 a year, was thought to he j
good pay. 'J'bo daily session extended j
from ten o’clock until three, when the]
Protestant children were dismissed and '
the Catholics detained for a half hour’s in-!
structiori in the catechism and articles of I
faith of their church. In schools where j
the number of Protestants is in excess of i
those of the Roman faith, the former are !
retained for n ligicus instruction, and the
latter dismissed. Again, there are many ]
schools where the respective members i
are about equal, and in these religious ]
instiunions in each faith is still given on ]
alternate days through the week. If the ]
teacher is a Protestant, a Catholic curate j
comes to give instructions upon the days ]
set apart for the children of his parish,!
and iff ce verm. The secular is for the!
most part good, although not a single ]
university graduate can be found in all'
the free schools of Ireland. This is due
partly to the excellence of the training]
schools and partly to the elementary;
character of the instruction to he giv-|
en.

.1 Terrible Scene in an Insane Asy
lum—Fight Hetween Two Lunatics.
Wo are informed that on Wednesday
an old la<ly of eighty years, living on B -
con street, in this city, visited the Insane
Asylum, at Taunton, Mass., with her
daughter to see her son, who has for
some time been confined there for insan -
ty from the effects of a wound received
during the war. On arriving there the
mother was shown into the reception
room, when the attendant went out and
locked the door. There happened to be
in the room at that time a lady who had
gone there expecting to secure the release
of her husband, but for some reason he
could not be discharged on that, day.
This was a great, disappointment, to the |
wife, but the effect upon the husband
when she told him was terrible. He raged
and tore round t he room in a perfect fu
ry, smashing up a marble-topped table
us if it was paper, and commenced oper
ations on the clock. This he had got
partially if not quite demolished, when
the son of the old lady from the city, who
had been quiet up to the time, became
excited and attacked the infuriated hus
band. A rough and tumble light ensued,
which must have been frightful to wit
ness, and the feelings of those women,
shut up in a room with two infuriated, in
sane persons, and unable to escape, can
hardly be imagined. After a little fight
ing, the husband, with a piece of the fur
niture he had been demolishing, or with
his finger nails, cut or scratched the fore
head of the son, making a frightful gash,
from which the hlood flowed copious! v,
und then catching him by the throat, he
choked him till his face turned purple.
Doubtless he would have killed him then
and there, but the old lady, seeing her
son’s danger, w> nt to the rescue, and af
ter a severe struggle succeeded in making
the husband let go his hold. Fort unate
ly the attendant came in, and a stop was
put to the proceedings, though it requir
ed five men lo secure the disappointed
and infuriated husband and put him be
yond the power of doing harm. Prove

Fat holies, have been turned over to the

j they arc very much dissatisfied with the
I change. A memorial to the President has
been pi epa n and and signed by the principal
chiefs, in which they suv that they have
frequently petitioned the authorities to
return to them their Catholic missiona
ries, hut, their wish has not, l;een*grati

to auu ng them in 1844, and have al
way i been registered as their fathers ;
that they would never have signed the
treat y of 1865 if it had not been fully un
derstood that their Catholic priests were
to remain with them, educate their chil
dren, and aid. them with advice. Tiny
complain that the experience of the four
! years has proved that the religious teach
| ors who have bei n forced upon them c«u
--i not. command the respectful obedience of
the young men and edihlren and say that
| the pn sent, officers and missionaries are
suspected of socking self-interest and wast
j ing their annuities. The memorial closes
i with an appeal to the President to give
I them back their Catholic instruct ors,
promising if this lie done their children
shall he scut to school. They think that
they have a right to choose their own re
ligion and select, their own teachers, as
only'their own money is involved in the

Sharp Shots at. the Back I'cty Grab
bers.
The iSf , Louis Democrat, evidently is
not an ardent admirer ot the back pay
grab and those high and mighty Con
gressmen who took advantage of it. It,
has these shots at them, to which we cry
encore :
B'tophen A. Douglas used to take his
88 a day and lie satisfied; but John A.
Logon thinks he is underpaid at 87,500
for six months’ service or about 840 a
day.
Win. H. Seward never grumbled that
he was underpaid when he was receiving
] about 8! ,600 a year as Senator. Conk
| ling und Fenton voted themselves five
t i 111 '•> ; bat much and they are happy.
John C. Calhoun was a fire-eater and
] a sec< s.ionhit and all that but. he was nev
er me; n enough to steal 85,000 out of
| the Treasury in a single haul, as his suc
] cesgors from the Palmetto State have
i done.
Henry Clay got 88 a day and never
j .struck for higher wages. His unworthy
i successor, Mr. .Stevenson, gets 840 a day,
und is ;'ii firmly convinced of his ow n su
i perior worth that he won’t pay back a
. little sum of 85,000 which does not, right
i Iv belong to him.
Daniel Webster made a tolerabiv good
j Senator at the rate of 88 per diem, count
’ ing only the actual days spent in Wash
! ington; but Mr. Carpenter, of Wis.,
! thinks lie is five times as valuable to the
; country as the Great Expounder was.
It is said that the proprietors cf one
i of the principal hotels ut a fashionable
j summer resort has already cleared over
i 840,000 on this season’s business; and
] the season, as everybody knows, has been
an exceptionally pool one. When a
: landlord can make a respectable compe
-1 teney for life on the Eustaces < f less than
' a quarter of a, year, the public can pretty
well understand how unmercifully they
