It Matters \ot.
BY OENBVIYK.
It matters not how plain the face
If but the soul lie beautiful,
Out bearing with a kindly grace,
And ever meek and dutiful.
It matters not how plain the dress,
If there’s a noble soul within;
God ne’er regards the wearer less,
If the heart be free from sin.
It matters not how low the cot
I hough dark and stern the poor man’s lot.
Love makes a Paradise of earth.
If true contentment lujsttes there,
ith guileless jop ami honest worth,
His treasure is more brightly fair
Than all the glittering gems of oarth.
Though mammon’s slaves may pass his
home
With curling lips and scornful eye,
I w ill matter not when Christ shall come
To gather jewels for the sky,
For then “the mite” if freely given—
Or “cup pf water” in his name
\V ill weigh more in the scales of Heaven,
Thap ail prides haughty alter flame.
It matters not though men may scorn—
O ! yc who labor for the Right,,
Who catch through vistas dimly sun,
Fajnt gleam si of the ndllenfal light;
And eyer “ig it come ?” ye say,'
As grey mists sweeps the eastern sky:
Tqil brayely qn ] for 10, the dawn,
The morning eometh by and by.
Thus too, oli glorious poet—seer,
Who seekest less for human fame,
Than iq outspeak the holy thoughts
liu-written with a holy flame—
O ! boldly speak, yet lovingly,
Till men shall learn to love each other,
And hands clasp firm and tenderly,
And Uearfs thrill at flic name of “moth*
cr,”
It matters not—this bitter toil,
The heavy cross—the weary sigh,
If rest shall crown the wild turmoil,
And Joy ip yonder shy j
If crosses shall be beautiful,
If love directs the chastening rod,
If Heaven awaits us o’er the tide,
Tis well to love and trust in God.

This time in Virginia, on the banks of
the Potomac, on a domain consisting of
some seven thousand acres of land, in>
eluding finely cultivated farms, with
many thousand fruit trees and a valua
ble water-power. This place has been
secured at a cost of about thirty thou
sand dollars. The projectors of tha
new movement arc Swedcnborgians,

this new scheme, which will naturally
excite a good deal of interest in certain
circles. The projectors of this new
community believe in the sanctity of
marriage, and regard both the shakers

heretics.”
We venture the prediction that the
proposed experiment will result in the
most dangerous farm of wickedness and
sensuality. It is a subtle way of du
ring the thoughtless and of getting in

feel so anxious about success —be-

‘The Cincinnati convention lias

not do sumthin, the people will
leave the party out—then there
will be no loil P, Master at the
LoilX Roads, it is a perticler
time with us, and gineral, we must
use every strategem to keep in—
and save our dear party. I know,
gineral, vou have done well tor
your family, and for the party,, hut
we must never let go. This cuss
ed Confederate house of congress,
have proven that our party has
robbed the people of many hun

sed the bloody shirt the highest
and hollered rebellion the lond*

firmest, have been left out to, and
in leaving them out the Cincinnat
ty convention confessed our sins
and let that confederate congress
take the mark off our loilty °and
the people now see that we have
been taking and doing things, hon

Et the Cincinnati convention had

our misdoins our party would not
have believed that confederate con
gress, and now the dimocrats have
nominated Tilden and Ilendrieks,
and ef u and i don’t do some tracx
work, they will be elected. !
Gin, you see Tilden has been j
playm the devil with the stealin’
fellows in N. Y. and ef he should
be elected he will catch lots
of our fellows, and our
states prisons would nearly all be

THE STOUT WITH WHICH IT WILL
SUPPORT TILDEN.
As for ourselves we believe that
we can say that Tilden way not
our choice, The party to which
we belong, and to which we have
always given our allegiance, lias
made him the standard bearer.
Our battle for currency reform, wo
are pleased to know, made some
impression upon the St. Louis Con
vention. Things might have been
worse. We prefer Tilden to
Hayes, and shall advise the Demo
cratic organisation to stand by the
nominees. Our friends in the St.
Louis Convention who voted to
the number of 219 tor the miuori
ty report of the Platform Commit
tee kept faith with the Convention
aud endorsed [its action by partici
pating throughout. As we repre~
sent that element of \thc Conven
tion. we feel it our duty to ao
quiesce. The people in Congres
sional Districts throughout Ohio
and Indiana have a way peculiar to
themselves, anj can reach one of
the vital issues which the Conven
tion, in studying nothing but suc
cess, saw fit to ignore. Ihe elec
tion of Tilden would signalize the
triumph of certain Democratic
principles. The election ot Ilayes
would signalize the success of prin
ciples, practices and theories which
wc have made it our life business
to oppose. We have many senti
ments in common with Tilden.
Wc have none in common with
Haves. What we have said in op
position to Mr. Tilden—our argu
ments to prove his unfitness for the
leadership in this great struggle
must stand. The party, in its wis
dom, has overlooked these potent
reasons, and if they now serve the
enemy we can't help it. The Dem
ocrats of Ohio feel resentful toward
Mr. Tilden and the clement of the
party which lie represents. They
feci that they have cause to dislike
him, and it will boa difficult mats,
ter to bring the strength of the
organization to his support. W c
I shall feel it 4 our duty to counsel liar-
mony, for the organisation of the
Democratic party must be pre
served. It is the onlv organiza
tion through which certain great
principles will be established and
certain great reforms brought
about. It has disappointed us°in
some particulars, but we de not feel
called upon to encourage the ene
mies of the party, who have coun
ted largely upon division. We can
extend no comfort to such. The
incongruous elements of the Res
publican party have united upon
Hayes, suppresing their differenr
ces, and subjecting all question.
There is nothing for the Democrat
ic party to do but to close the
ranks and move forward to the
music prepared at St. Louis yes
terday.
S'lic Cherokee Lu'linn*.'
interesting reminisces of
TIIE RED MEN wiio occu
pied THIS SECTION.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
General A. J. Hansel!, in his re
cent lectuae here, related many in
teresting facts and reminiscences of
the early settlers of Cherokee Gcor..
gig. It would be a vali&ble con
tribution to history wfre he to
write out his remiuisJtnces and
give them pormancy *in book
form.
Up to 1802, Mississippi and Al
abama formed a part of Georgia.
In consideration of Georgia yield
ing up the territory covered by
those states the general govern
ment agreed to remove the Indians
from the stale.
THE CHEROKEE REIGN.
That portion of Georgia known
as Cherokee, was bounded by the
Hiwassee river, the Chattdhooche
river, the Tennessee river, and the
Gounties of Campbell and Carroll.
This section was inhabited by the
Cherokee tribe of Indians. Their
lines however extended over the
North Carolina to Murphej.
IIIS ADVENT ON The SCfINE*
Forty three years ago Gee. Han
sel removed to Cherokee to prac
tice law. llis practice was
sufficient to board himself
and horse. For 185 miles the
country had the appearance of a
..in. .nr *'irucmuancQ variegated
wild flowers taking me place of
undergrowth. The Indians burn
ed off the woods every winter, kill
ing the undergrowth, and causing
the grass and flowers to spring up
eaily. The Indians Mere fond of
the large trees of the forest. The
son of tho noted chieftain Kenno
saw in after years, when viewing
the destruction of the forests, said,
“No God. They have cut down
all of Go Vs fine frees,”
The streams abounded in fish, and
their
WATERS WERE T.IMID
and in the Chattahoochee river the
water was so clear that pebbles
could be distinguished to tho depth
often fool.
INDIAN CHARACTERISTICS.
The Cherokee Indians were on
aa average physicallv better than
the whites. General Hansel never
saw a fat Indian. They arc beard
loss. They do not pluck out their
beard and destroy it, it is a natu
ral deficiency. Their hair is
straight and black. A quadroon
with light hair and blue eyes was
tho wonder of the nation.
INDIAN RELIGION.
In religion the Cherokees were
Deists. They worshipped no idols
but the Great Father of Spirits.
They had but few religious rites.
The green corn dance was a relig
ious rite answering to the Jewish
festival of the first fruits. No mm
dared to eat com until pilfer 'ke
performance of the giefn jeorn
dance. The Indians had a pas
sionate love of fire water.
AMUSEMENTS,
The Indians had but few amuse
ments. Their great favorite was
ball playing. There would be fif
ty engaged on a side and four or
five thousand spectators would ;
watch the game. One game would
take up the entire evening some
times, so skillfully would it be
contested. There was no defined
law of marriage, and no Ceremony.
A young - brave would select a
handsome maiden and carry her to
his home. The chief practiced pos
lygamy only
Very few crimes were commit
ted by the Indians. There was no
continuance of a case, to change ol
venue. If a murder was commit**
ted the murderer was carried be
foie one of the ten judges. This
judge was the court. Happily the
Indians were rid of lawyers. Ihe
jud-rc would have the witness
brought no matter what part of the
territory they, were in. If ho
found the prisoner guilty, the con
victed one was led out into the
woods, and his brains beaten out
with clubs. In five years there
were only two murders committed
by the Indians.
IN DAN LEGISLATION.
The legislation of the Cherokees
was divided iuto two houses, one
composed of chiefs and sub chiefs
and the other elected every four
years. The chief, John Ross was
Scotchman. The intelligence of
the nation was opposed to him.
A PATftlliCH INDEED.
Sawnee, a chief, resided near
Gumming in Forsyth county. For
an Indian he had a large planta
tion-six acres. He had a house
in each corner of his plantation,
and a wile and children in each
house. Once he visited Cumming
with his lamily, all in single file.
His family consisted of himself,
lour wives, and forty children.
ihe Indians were in the main
truthftd and reliable. On one oc<
casion an Indian lad was arraigned
for stealing a chicken. He admit
ted taking it but explained thht his
mother was sick and he had no
money. Judge William Kzzard
was the solicitor general. He gen
erously agreed to drop the case and
let the pool Indian go. (Applause
greeted this announcement.
BLOOD MOUNTAIN.
Gen. Ilansell explained the orl
opl of the name of this mountain
15 miles from Dalilonega, and the
highest mountain in the State. The
Creeks who occupied that part of
Georgia around the
Cherokee country. The Cherokees
were driven to the line of North
Carolina. Finally the Creeks and
Cherokees agreed to submit it to
the
ARBITRAMENT OF ARMS,
between six warriors on cither side,
on the summit of Blood mountain
while the hostile armies watched
them below, (duly one warrior
survived the contest, a Cherokee
covered with eleven wounds. Coo
sawattee means Creek, and Sitting
Down, literally a place where the
Creeks sat down.
AMICALOLA FALLS.
Perhaps the grandest scene in
the South is the Amicalola Falls,
on the top of a mountain. In the
distance of four hundred yards tho
stream falls four hundred feet and
resembles a stream of melted sil
ver. It is a combination of Tocoa
and Tallulah.
TIIE CIIEROKEK LANGUAGE
is soft and less gutturel than the
other languages. The Indian’s
f>nv>n nvIK ... I.J r PI
guago to blaspheme. The Indians
were passionately fond of gambling.
They would bet their last hunting
shirt on a game of seven up.
The Senate.
Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania
rose to a personal explanation. He
said a week or ton days ago, when
I was about going homo, I went to
the Senator from Georgia, Mr.
Gordon, and asked him to pair
with mo during my absence. lie
very graciously consented to do so
and said he would then go home,
and wc paired. After I got home
I remembered that the Senator
from Doleware, Mr. Bayard, had
called upon me to ask me io pair
with him, and the moment that it
recurred to my mind, I wrote a
note to the Senator from Georgia,
stating the fact but he had left the
city of Washington and it was too
late. I regret very much that the
lapse of my memory made me
wrong to him or anybody else : but
1 want to state distinctly that the
pair was made at my solicitation
with the Senator from Georgia, and
for my benefit, as I was not well.

following lias been received by the
President:
Victor Emmanuel, by the grace
of Clod and the will of the people
King of Italy, to the President of
the United States, greeting; My
very dear and good friend. —On
tlio day upon which the great
American Republic celebrates the
centennial anniversary of its exis
tence, it is our desire to address
our congratulations and those of
our people to you, personally, and
to the nation over which, you pre
side, and which, with admirable
ability you have succeeded in di
recting, to its noble destiny. Nei
ther the distance] which separates
us, nor any difference of race will
ever weaken in us and in ours that
firm friendship which unites us
with the brave American nation,
with which, for a 100 years, Italy
has had relations productive of mu
tal esteem.
We are inclined to convey to you
these sentiments so much the more
readily, because for the purpose of
more worthily celebrating the me
morial day by the monster exhibi
tion at Philadelphia. You were
pleased to invite to the festival all
the nations of the earth. Accept
the assurance of our highest es
teem and friendship, together with
the prayers which we offer to God,
that he may have you, my very
dear friends, in llis holy keening.
Given at Rome, on the 11th day

Your good friend,

The Mavic Oliniuan War.
[From the Nashville American.
I lie character, history, religion,
and peculiar situation and relations
ot the contending parties to the
war waged by the Slavic provin
ces of Turkey against the Ottoman
power, make it an interesting study.
Involving, as it does, the greatest
interests of the most powerful Eu
opean States, exciting by its relig
aus phases the sympathies cf the
decendants of the crusaders in Eu
ropean countries, the impending
conflict must command at least the
active curiosity of our readers. We
may safely assume, too, that no
Christian people hail entirely era
dieted the traditional and inherited
hatred for the Paynim Knight, the
Infidel Saracen, the warriors of the
Crescent.
England has long watched with
jealous care the approach of Russia
to the Hindoo Ivoosli mountains
on the borders of India, subduing
Turkestan and menacing British
India. \\ hilo Russia is thus ex
tending her power to the eastward,
it is the care cf England to sec
that she does not lay hands upon
Turkey and thus cut oft' her com
munication with her empire in the
East. To prevent this, and to
preserve her Eastern dominions
from being menaced north and
west by the Russian Boar, she
fought the Crimean war, and for
this she is watching with intense
interest the opening of a str uo-o-le |
in which she has to fear a general
European war with immense loss
of men and money and perhaps de
feat and the dismemberment of
Turkey according to Russian ideas,
fixing to that power such proving
ces in Europe, and perhaps in
Asia, as may aid her aggressive
movements against British India;
or the independence of the Slavic
provinces and their alliance and af
filiation with Russia,or probable re
organization under a Russian pro
tectorate. In any dismemberment
of Turkey, Russia, Prussia, and
Austria have only to agree among
themselves, leaving England out of
problem of division.

out of view, it has been apparent
that a time must come when a
race, a government and a religion
not in accordance with the genius
of European progress and cnlight
ment must yield before the spirit
of the age. England finds herself
even confronted by a religious sym
pathy at home with the oppressed
Christians of Bosnia, Herzegovina,
Montenegro and Scrvia; with a
feeling that is monstrous longer
to uphold the brutal Turk, and his
effete civilization, his religion, and
his Eastern form of tyrannical gov
ernment. * Her purely selfish and
sordid policy has received a check,
at home, while it is opposed by
the sentiment of the civilized world,
as a policy unworthy the ieading
Chirstian nation of the Old World.
England has a graver reason for
careful pausing than a home senti
ment which might be oVcrcome.
She has noted the development of
anew warefare,in which the armies
of France, once invincible, went
down like grass before the legions
of Prussia, and the apochryphal
battle of Dorking was an indiea
cation of the alarm of the thought
ful British mind at anew method
of military organization with which
her people had not kept pace, an
advance in military art for which
they were not prepared. Great
Britain feels that she is not pre
pared to cope with the formidable
armaments of the continental pow
ers. Hence she is every way deep
ly concerned and alarmed at the
present state of affairs, and justly
apprehensive least any course may
be fraught with disaster in some
form or other. Since the interests
involved are no less than empire
in the East, contended for bv the
two mightiest empires of the West,
there must boa deep interest felt
in the comparatively insignificant
peoples, who are the puppets mov-
ed by the great powers-
The Slaves of the Turkish prov
inces are Christians of the Greek
Church. Subjected to continue
vassalage, to the Byzantine Em
pire and to (he Ottoman rule, they
possess all the characteristic vices
of an oppressed and enslaved peo.-
ple. They arc generally false, de
ceitful, treacherous and cowardly,
and yet they have clung to their
religion with great tenacity, since
they were first conquered and con -
verted under the Greek empire.
Their history is one long period of
continued warefare, first against
the Byzantine empire, and from the
early part of the 1-ith century

against the Turks, who completed
I the conquest of Scrvia in Idol.
Ihe hi-tory of Scrvia, the leading
Shivo province of Turkey, is one
continual record of the most terri
ble oppressions, barbarity and ra
; pacity. Ihe details of their con
tinued resistance, of torture, muti
lation unimaginable horror- are so
I terrible that ouo must wonder how
the country could escape complete
depopulation. Tlie excesses ot the
Spaniards in the Netherlands were
almost light compared with what
these Servians have aulVercd, and
the sann-. is true ot Herzegovina,
Montenegro and to some extent
Bosnia. During the past two cen
times Scrvia was the scene of con
tinual revolution and warfare, and
horrors which are sickening in de c
tail. Domestic treason, desertion
and cowardice add to the dark pic
ture. There are only undying de-
votion to their religion and contin.-
ual struggling for freedom to ad
mire. I’his is scarcely admirable
j f° r Turkish oppression torture,
multilation almost compelled rc-
I volt. By long continned efforts,
after many reverses, Scrvia achiev
ed a partial independence, only
paying annual tribute to Turkey.
The other Slavic provinces have
engaged in the same struggles, u
cliieving partial freedom or com
pelling reforms, and the present war
is an effort on the part of Herzego
vina and Montenegro to throw off
the voice ot Moslem oppression, and
establish complete autonomy.
Heretofore they have generally
fought separately and without con
cert, fighting and fleeing to their
mountain fastnesses. Now they
have some unity of purpose anil
action. Their former conflicts
have scarcely attracted the attention
ot the civilized world. To-day
they have the sympathy and fight
under tho eye of all enlightened
and Christian peoples, not because
they arc enlightened or their relig
ion anything more than a mere su
perstition that was once religion,
but because they possess a germ of
the true faith and a capacity for a
civilization in unison with the
progress of the age. Their sad his
tory, their long struggles, their he
roic endurance, their faithful cling
inif to their faith entitle them to

A Mystery of Perfume. —Mo
one has yet been able to analyze or
demonstrate the essential action of
perfume. Gas can he weighed, but
no scents. The smallest known
creatures —the very monads of life
—can be caught by a microscope
lens and made to deliver up the sc*
crcts of their organizations; but
what is it that emanates from the
pouch of the musk deer that fills
a whole space for years and years
with its penetrating odor—an odcr
that an illimitable number of ex
traneous substances can carry on
without diminishing either its size
or weight—and what is it that the
warm summer air brings to us from
the flowers, no man has yet been
able to determine. So line, so sub?
tile, so imponderable, it has eluded
both our most delicate weights and
measures and our strongest lenses.
If we come to the essence of each
odor, we should have made au
enormous stride, forward both in
hygiene and in chemistry, and none
would profit more than the medical
profession if it could be as conclu
sively demonstrated that such an
odor proceeded from such and such
a cause, as wc already know of sul
pher, sulphurate hydrogen, ammo
nia and the like.
Grant is in pursuit of such su
bordinate officers of the Govern*
ment as give trouble to himself or
his friends by anything like faith*
fulness in the performance of their
duties. He is determined to re
form such men out of office. Bris
tow had a number of them in the.
service of the Treasury Department,
who assisted him in doing good
work ; but Grant is having them
rooted out as fast as possible, on
one pretext or another. These are
campaign time.-, and such men# arc
not of the party. About the pub
lic interest Grant is not in a state
of anxiety.
