Y od. will 'Vssililyi perceive Ibut'ja
meeting of Uie .junmulistr ol all see*
lions of the country, the hitherto un
conquerable prejudices of .Suite and
sections, which iiavc wrought so much
evil fn the past, would have to give
way to more kindly sentiments. The
animOsllida' which have hitherto* re
tarded the prosperity our country,
could not survive one such gathering
as proposed. That such a result, so
fraught with blessings to our great
commonwealth, might not be agreea
ble to the politician, we cannot doubt,
but in the near future of journalism,
the press must coiit'rol politicians, and
have its voice ip politics; to do this,
it must unite its diverse and scattered
interests and iufiuencc into one com
pact, vigorous and efficacious organi
zation. Upon the attainment of this
object, relations and feelings of a
friendly aud generous nature would be
mado to exist between ' our various
sections, new fields of progress and
impiovemcnl would be cleared up,
the wasto places rebuilt, all the people
would rejoice, our beautiful country
would “blossom as the rose,” and a
rich harvest of peace and prosperity
ensue.
It is suggested that at an early dav
meeting of a few prominent journal
ists bo held at some central point to
consult upon .this measure, and take
such initiatory action in The premises
as may be.thought necessary. . Tour
views npon this suggestion, also upon
the matter of the Association its ad
visability, it* utility and its practica
bility, are earnestly solicited by the
Committee, and if you think well of
the matter, we ask you to cooperate
with us to obtain the desired object,
and the purpose of the Resolutions.—
’’’lease let us hear from you at once.
The following are the Committee ap-
pointed in accordance with the first
Resolution:
Robt. L. Rodgf.rs. C. W. Hancock.

PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, It has been the custom,
tke “time whereof the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary,” to allow
the free transmission, through the
mails, of.printed journals in exchange
With eacn other, and has also been
until a recent dale, immorial custom
this Stale to exempt from taxation,
the prinliug material of every news
paper; and.
Whereas, We regard the action of
the General Assembly of Georgia, in
levying a tax upon pnntfng material
State, aud that of Congress, in
requiring the payment of postage on
exchanges, as invading the immuni
ties of the Press of the country, and
that such is not pfnraotivd to tbe host
interests of the people, does not ac
cord with the true’principles of repub
lican government, and is adveise to
the general welfare of the country.
WHEREAS, We believe the custom
was salutary, and we hold, that free
dom of the Press is synonymous with
the liberty of tbe people, and that
such ft* referred to are unsound
in policy, in that they serve to embar
rass the Press, and deprive the people
of an extensive dillusion of uews. and
of n general dissemination of useful
intelligence, and
WlIEREA*. Til
of Congres* has deprived the Press of
some of its most valued and valuable
privileges, which fact must be taken
as^i declaration of war against the
whole “fouith estate” by . that depirt-
ment of the government and that,
actuated bv a principle of self-preser-
vatiQQ. we rfig&t unite and prepare to
defend from further aggression tbe.
last remaining bulwark of freer people;
a free and untrammeled Press. And
WueREaS, Believing that in “on
ion there is strength,” and “where no
counsel is the people fall, but in tbe
multitude of poupselois there jl Safe
ty,” the necessity of united action by
the Press of the country becomes ap
parent, and as a complete remedy for
existing evils, apd to oppose the fur
ther inroads of oppression, we propose
the formation of a National Press As
sociation for the United States. There

If he didn’t have sense enough to see

Ero this interview took place. It
mjght be slated that tho rabbit had.
gone under the cow stable. Tweezer
crawled under and chased it out Any
body might know that by the look of his
white duck clothes. When be came
out the chase began anew. The rab
bit was fair, and waited just on the
other side of a picket fence. This time
the pursuit led down tbe middle of the
street, and spectators looked on and
clasped hands with enthusiasm Twee
zer's blood was up aud he resolved to
eatch the rabbit or die in the attempt.
He looked very much as though nt
would have a chance to die in the at
tempt. So it appeared until a dog
darted out and caughtthe rabbit. When
Mr. Tweezer came up and received
the prey from the jaws of its enptor, he
found to his inexpressible sorrow that
the animal had not been killed. So
he bore it back and restored it, un
harmed, to thp loving Arms which
awaited it home, and in the midst
ot caresses which were lavished on the
return of the beautiful pet, poor Twee
zer was forgotton.—Peoria Review.
Where tbe Sun Does not Set.
A scene witnessed by some travel
lers in the North of Norway, from t
cliff one thousand feet above the sea,
is thus described:
“The ocean stretched away in silent
vastness at our feet; the sound of
waves scarcely reached our airy look
out; away in the North the huge old
sun swung low along the horizon, like
the slow beat of the pendulum in the
tall clock of our grandfather's parlor
corner. We all stood silent, looking
atonr watches. Wnen both hands
came together at twelve, midnight, the
full lound orb hung triumphantly
above tbe, waves, a bridge ol gold run
ning due North spanning the water
between ns and him. There he shone
in silent majesty, which knew no set
ting. We involuntarily took off our
hats; no-word was said. Combine, if
you can, the most brilliant suurise and
sunset you ever saw and the beauties
will pale before the gorgeous colorioj
Men now lit up ocean heaven, am
mountain. In half an hour the sun
had swung up petceptibly ou his beat,
the colors changed to those of morning
a fresh breeze rippled over the flood,
one songster aftet another piped up in
the grovb behind us—we had slid into
another day.’
A Touching Incident of Mr. Da

During tbe Jate visit of ffop, Jcffer-
on.Davis to this city while be was
being called ou by crowds of respecta
ble citizens, and receiving manifesta
tions of respect from hundreds of the
most prominent f aod worthf ladies
and gentlemen of this olty there, oc
curred a little episode of a very pleas
ing character. One night, during
his stay at the Planter's House
bt was serenaded by some colored
people who were formerly his slaves.
After their dulcet strains had ceased,
Mr. Davis called them into his room
where, after cordial greetings oq both
rides and a little chat a&ut olden
times, be made each a handsome pres

America' fn the year 1000. Tbe
ancient "Icelandic manuscripts, call-,
ed Sagas, give an account of this
discovery. According to those, Erik-
•on, son’of Erik, the Red, who had-
discovered Greenland, bought a sb.p
from BJarne—a former western dis
coverer—and enlisted thirty-five men,
and guided by. direction from Bjarae,
and the stars.for his compass, sailed
lor America.
In tbe year 1000 he landed at Vine-
laud, and spent the winter at or near
Fall river. Mass., where seven years
afterward, Thorvin Karleseved and
his narty left the famous “Dightoo
Writing Rock” inscription. In IU02
there was an expedition to Wineland
by Thorwald Knksoo,ejshn was pierc
ed by an arroir and died there, and,
acooiraing to tbe discretion of the Sa
ga, it seems that he was buried at
Garnet Point. Abont forty sears ago
a skeleton in armor was dug up in
that vicinity. •
In addition to the Sagas, “The
Dighton Wrighton Rock,” the New
port Tower which the Indians say
was built by giants,- and the Skeleton
in Armor, we have, in simport of the
early discovery by Leif Erikson, the
writings of Adam Bremen, an old his
torian cf high authority who visited
tho Danish King, Svend-Ethidsou,
and after wards wrote in 1-atiii au ac
count ol the Northt-ru Nations. He
snys: “There Is a land discovered bv
many in this ocean (Atlantic) which
is called Wineland, because vines
good vines grow there spontaneously;
and there grows grain in abundance
without being sown. Of this we have
knowledge, not by fabulous supposi
tion, but by reliable statements of the
[)auc8.” The Sagas have been trans
lated by a very learned Norso scholar.
A California Rauclie.
The following description of a Cali
fornia ranche of vast extent and great
productiveness is supplied by the Sac
ramento Union of June 23: “Dr. Glenn,
of Colusa county, owns a ranche which
contains nearly 45 000 acres. It em
braces a frontage of elghlecen miles
on the Sacramento river, and extends
back about five miles. It is inclosed
and divided by 140 miles of fencing.
One tenant. G. W. Hoog, rents and
cultivates about 10,000 acres of the
land, aud the G upton Brothers culti
vate an equal portion. Some 15,000
acres are rented out to a number of
farmers who work on a smaller scale.
At the present time farming opera
tions are going on on his ranche at a
lively rate, as the work of harvesting
is progressing rapidly. Hoog is enga
ged in cutting 7,000 acres of vriieat and
barley. The crop will this year yield
about twenty bushels per acre of wheat,
lu favorable seasonk the yield has
been about thirty-live bushels. The
yield of barley is considerably larger.
The total crop will amount to nearly
180,000 bushels, lie is thrashing hi*
g rain with one of Coself 48-lnch cyliu-
or thrashing machines, which is i un
by a twenty horse-power steam engine.
To supply this machine requires six
large-sized headers nnd eighteen hend-
er-wagons. all of which requite the la
bor ofllO horses and 50 men. The ma
chine has thrashed five sacks of barley
per minute, at which t ate it has run for
an hour and a half in succession. It has
also thrashed thirty-sacks of wheat in
seven minutes. It will require about
six weeks to thresh the entire crop.
These arc the operations of Hoog
alone. Gupton Brothers have an equal
ly large crop, and are driving business
on about the same scale. The smaller
tenants ate equally well employed.”
A itlotber’a Home.
The most perfect home 1 ever saw
was in a little house into the sweet tn-
censeTtf whose fires wcut no costly
things. A thousand dollars served for
a years living of father, mother a
three children. But the mother wa
