The following poem, by Shaler Hill- yer, Esq., son of Rov. S. G. Hillyer, t e lig in rhyme a story founded a on real incident of the close of the late war be tween the States. The story is so dra- matically told as to enlist- the reader’s attention and mark the author as a man of fine poetic temperament. We believe the poem has been published in | the Sunny South : LEE’S I.\»r RECRUIT bt sniLSR niLLYr.it. ' Whit meant this newi I've heard to-day, that Let is falling baolr, With twice a hundred thousand Yanks hsrd pressing on his track; | Tbit Bhsridan, to head him off, is riding like the blast, !

Morn came, bat ere Sol’s golden streams had through the valley flowed, Our one-armed Jim, with strength renewed, was far upon hia roai, XIII. At length, about the time the sun had climbed half way the ikiea, Jim, looking far belore him, law, with some thing of surprise, Three men slowly coming down the road, aod who, as he could sae, Were clad in tattered suits of grey, that told they’d been with Lee. • nv. He kept his eyes fixed on thaee thres, wnd when they nearer came. He saw that they were weak and wan, and one of them was lame; That they were silent, spiritless their eyee, and that their tread Was but the lifeless step of those whose every hope is fled. xv, ’’Hello! my men,” cried Jim,on meeting, ’’seems to me that you Are going In the wrong direetlon for good men and true. I’m on my way to jins Lea’s bops, to help ’em all I ken; From what I’ve heard, they need the help of all true-hearted men.

But, gents, ’twas hard to b’lieve that Lee— 1 ’: and here his voice broke down, And with a stifled sobbing ha set down upon the ground, Then covering with his single hand his face as best he could, He broke into a strain of grlal that might not bs subdued. Radical Corruption and Fraud in Connecticut. Hartford Timas. The ohairman of the Republican town oommittae of Windham, one Walter Bennett, a young lawyer, persuaded a young Irian Democrat into the room near the voting place in Windham, where the Republicans had established headquarters and were purchasing votes, and offered and gave him five dollars to vote tho Republican ticket. The young man took the money and Ben nett aooompanied him to the polls to see that he voted the ticket; but upon arriving at the ballot box the young Democrat held aloft |in his hand the five dollars, and said “here is five dol lars which Bennett has given me to vote the Republican ticket,” and then holding up the Democratic Senatorial aud Representative ballots he said “here are the ballots I am going to cast,” and he put them in the ballot boxes- ThiB same Bennett was detected in stuffing the ballot box in a Republican caucus. The teller announced that a party in the hall had put in more than one bal lot. The chairman denounced the act, and said it was unlawful, and the party could be prosecuted. Cries for his ame arose, when the teller said it was lennett, who is associated with the chairman in his law office. Bennett then said that he dropped double votes by mistake, but he could not explain ly he did not say so at once ana re call his ballots. After this, at the same meeting, Bennett was elected chairman of the Republican town committee pre sumably because he had shown this versatility in Republican tactics. was sat, and on ha I "A 1 *-«»• I * “»». tay Mul, you ki.s for me our little L r **c»l Jim, B “ ‘ nough to ’«• hu " i#di ^ e ‘— d to * ll ° or loft, but only on bo- i> Fill.

Savannah, Nov. 10— Cotton Ex change Report of the orop of Georgia; Weather-during the month of October cloudy and rainy, until about the 24th; after that clear, and on the whole less favorable than last year for gathering the orop. There was light frost in the upper counties of the State on the 25th, but the damage was very slight. About oue-half the crop has been picked, and picking will be pushed from‘the 1st to the 20th of December. No estimate of the yield in this State can be made at this time. Much depends on the weath er during the next ten days or two weeks. Since October 25th it baa been dear and favorble for the opening of matured bolls. In Southern and South eastern Georgia the prospect is 25 per cent, below the yield of last year, while in upper Georgia farmers are very hope ful that the out-turn will equal or ex ceed last year’s. The temperature dur ing the month of October was warm and sultry, and the continued rains, while they injured the quality of the cotton, delayed picking, and retarded the opening of bolls, had the effect of pushing rapidly to maturity, young green bolls of the top crop, so much so that in various sections many reports in sist that, with a favorable season, and late frost the yield from this late cotton will not only equal but may exceed the amount gathered from the balance of the crop. A top crop, however, is not general throughout the State. No top crop or Becond’ crop can be found on sandy ground, where the crop has been injured by rust, nor in Southern Geor gia, where the caterpillar has appeared. Tho Empire State of the South. Raleigh Observer, Georgia realizes $300,000 from the rent of the Western and Atlanta Rail road, and $50,000 from the Macon and Brunswick Railroad, $30,000 from the inspection of fertilizers, $25,000 from the lease of convicts,_ $15,000 from tax on insurance companies, $15,000 from tax on railroads, and $20,000 from her liquor tax, making from theee special sources an income of $450,000. Her general tax nets her about $850,000. The total income of the State is about $1,800,000. Her bonds are selling in New York at $112, we believe. She is called the Empire State of the South She has more factories than any other Southern State, and is never weary of well-doing in that direction. Every now and then we hear of some new en terprise being undertaken there. Some new mill is always in the course of con struction, and additional evidence of “No, wo must on,” outspoke the thirJ, “but ’fora wo go will we Just Present Arms to him who was the last re- omit for Lea.” They had no guns, but at commend they through the motion went; Than silently they turned away, thalr faces southward bant. xxtv. And whan, in after years they talked of those old troublous days, Recaltlng many a deed that well might cl tint a patriot’s praise— Deeds done upon the battlefield or ie the wild pursuit— They ne’er forgot to tell of him they celled Lae’s Last Rscbuit. Mrs. Lillie Durst, the editor of the Circleville (Ohio) Herald, probably will be made clerk of the Senate in that State. When she put in a claim for the office a few weeks ago there was con siderable objeotion to her candjdaoy, but she has electioneered so effectively that now the chances are said to be in her favor.
