From the NUnh (Jeorgia Citroen.
SUerill killed.
We learn that the Sheriff of Dickons eottnly
was shot deail on Sunday last, nud lih Deputy
•wounded, by a desperado from Tenn., named
Joel Kitcdiiu. 'The cireumstances, a»i wo gath
er them from Mr. J. A. Nelson, of .Murray
county, afe these: On Friday evening last
Kitellie came to the house of Mr. George Terry,
living in the upper part of Murray, from the
direction of Tennessee, riding a mule, which
he succeeded in swapping to Mr. T. for a
small bay pony, and imined lately left in the
direction of Pickens county. The next morn
ing two men iW.e «pt« the house of MV. T.
in pursuit o»f Kitehic, whom they desetihed,
stating that, he bad /to!e:i a mule from one of
theui, and asked him if such a m m had pass
sed that way. Mr. T. informed them such a
mail had stopped at his hou>e the evening
previous, and had traded him ai iwnlo, which,
upon examination proved to bo the one tlmy
were looking !'■;•. Tin* two Mr- 'lk
and Mt’veral of his neiglil’; irs. immediately
went io pur-mi: of the thief, wliom they could
hear of all nl oig the. road leading fw town
of da-pur, which place t’aey readied about 11
o’clock, on Sund;>''. mlio> they barred that
the mass they were after had left a few hour*
before in the direction of Dawxonville, and
was then supposed to he at a lions” about four
milt s distant. The Sheriff of the county and
I.is Deputy, h in : in town at the time, were
called on bv tin* pursuing party to aid in
Kitdiie's arrest, which they jiroe-mdetl to do.
But before ! avinr, the sherifF prevailed on
the jiarty to rpinain h diiml. as some of them
were known to Kit. hie, who being on tlm look
out and .v-eing them, might give them the
dodge, lie was found nt the house at which
it was thought lie bad stopped, sitting at a
table shaving himself. The sheriff stepped
into the room, and placing his hami upon his
shoulder, told him lie was his prisoner, and to
follow him. Kite hie replied, ‘‘You will let
me finish sh&vang lir*t, waiVt you?’’ to which
flu* r.bcriff’ assented. The desperado then
stooped down and commenced strapping hit
rsTor on his hoot, and lose up with a pistol ir.
Ids hand, which he jerked from tli-J leg of liis
hoot, and immediately placed bhuo muzzle of it
against the breast of the sheriff and killed
him instantly. The deputy then rushed m
and was fired at (wire in rapid succession,
both halls taking effect in his arm and shouK
dor, disabling him. The desperado then rush
ed from the house and made good his escape
in the direction of North Carolina, on a large,
fine, fleet horse belonging to our* informant,
Mr. Nelson; which the sheriff had rode to the
house.
How they Cook in Oregon,
There is a place in Oregon called the Smo
ky Valley, where the people have a very cu
rious way of cooking. They do not have the
trouble of making a fire every morning when
they wi*h to get breakfast. They just walk
out with kettles, coffee pots and whatever eUc
they need, and cook at the boiling springs.—
’The water seems a great deal better than com
mon boiling water, and all they' need to do is
to hang their keltic in it a short time, and
th‘ ir food if, niv.cdy cooked. They are able
even to bake in it. The bread is put into a
tight sauce pan, and lowered into the flood,
for an hour or two, and thefTdrawn up most
exquisitely baked, with hut a thin rim of crust
over. Meat is cooked hero, and beans, which
are the miner’s great luxury. It takes hut a
minute to cook eggs, or to make a cup of coT*
fee or ttfji: but if there should chance to ho a
‘slipbetween the cup and the lip,’ the food
would be gone beyond recovery.
Our devil says some evenings sinco while
talking love to his sweetheart she blushed,
which caused him to ask:
“Miss, what have you done' to be ashamed
of, that you blush so?"
“Sir, what have the roses and the strawber
ries and the peaches done, that they should
blush so ?”

of Southern Prosperity.
The x itality and recuperative power of the
South are wonderful. In these she surpasses
nnythii g that the world has ever seen before.
.She astonishes wen not less by her immense
vigor in peace than by her tremendous energy
in war. Ist sj-Vic of all the fearful
tages that hive boo* and are around her and
upon her ; in spite Os the fact that but a par
tial pacification lias been effected within her
h irlers: in spite of the undeniable truth that
large portions ©f the nogrOes are not an aid
to her, but a monstrous nuisance ; in spito of
all these tilings, verdure, and all
those i \r U predictions of the earth to which
her tu; eh less seil and climate are adapted,
are springing, as beneath the tread of God’s
angels, Jrorr her lately hleaahed and desolated
fields.
The people of the South have had, during
the last season, far less means of production
than tiny ever had before, hut they have di*
re. ted t »eir mean ; ore skillfully and to bet
t> r pur use than ever did before. Taught
salittery and necessary lessons iw a hard and
terrible school, they have taken care that the
lessons should not he lost on them. They
have discovered and devoted to use unpaid li*
ties within themselves, the very existence of
which, in times past, they never suspected
'They fin 1 that they can accomplish w hat they j
formerly deemed impossibilities. They feel 1
the spirit of independence moving in their
*mils am] thrilling all the chords of their
frames. Their dependence, to any great ex
tent, upon the North or upon any other region
lias disappeared forever. They can place
themselves and arc fast placing themselves in
rtcondition of mom perfect exemption from
control and the necessity of reliance than is
perhaps enjoyed by any other people on the
globe. The North is destined to rcalizo the
extraordinary truth, that when she thought
ifoerself striking -«/ Southern
she was, in one and a highly important eense,!
striking for Southern independence.

Military Rule in Texas—.V Citizen Wan
tonly Killed.
The New Orleans Picayune of Jan. sr.h says :
“Our readers are net ignorant Os the sad con
dition to which Reynolds’ rule has brought the
State of Texas. MouraviefTs rule in Poland
was more endurable at large, *®d to proud
spirits, infinitely less gulfing-; for, whereas the
Russian satrap served one master, an ‘ enlight
ened despot,” Reynolds was the tool of a fac
tion that illustrates the most odious and mean
est vices of party rule. During his regime,
wherever the military were in sufficient num
bers to overawe the citizens, and Radical mis
creants had personal or political ends to compass
the people held their lives, liberty, and prop
erty at the hazard, as it were, of a die. AY'c
need not rehearse the sad and shameful story of
the la t year. The fast act in this tragedy of
military despotism Itas just been enacted at
Jefferson. By a telegram to Messts. Speake
& Buckner, v c learn that Captain William
Perry, id the firm of Perry & Norwood, was
shot and killed l.y Unit-d States soldiers in
Jefferson on the night of the 2d inst., “through
mistake,” as they say. The deceased was the
father of Wiley T. Perry, Esq, a resident of
our city, lie was a gentleman of irreproach
able character in encry relation of life, enjoy
ing an enviable reputation in Jefferson as a
man of business. His friends here, who knew
him well, regard hi* death as entirely unpro
voked, as he was one of the last men to have
made himself obnoxious to the powers that ho.
Jefferson it now garrisoned by nearly 3,000
men. Some «f heT best citizens are in military
prison, and others ‘are wanted.' Wo suppose
Mr. Perry was shot and killed in a military
raid. Is this a free country?
Sweinl Arithmetic.
A pleasant pastime ut an evening gathering
of family or friends is the solution of problems
in what a writer in Chambers' Journal calls
“social arithmetic.” One of the examples he
gives is Lho following:
“T wo brothers were walking the street, when
one of them stopped at a house, saying he must
call and see a sick niece. The ether passed on,
saying, “I am thankful I have tao niece." —
iVliut relation was the last spexkor to tho
invalid?
Another is apparently v-eTy easy and simple, j
hut we venture to sav that not one in ten will j
get the correct answer the first time trying.
A stranger entered a shoe store ami bought ;
a pair of shoes worth four dollars, for which
he tendered a five dollar greenback in pay
ment. The shoe denier having no change, got
the bill “broken" at. tho grocer's, next door,
and delivered to the purchaser the sliaes and
tint one dollar in change. Yh-e grocer after
watds discovered that the bill was counterfeit,
and made the shoe dealer take it hack and give
him good money. Now, the question is, how
much did the shoo dealer lose in all?”
Religion.
Someone whoso head is unusually “level,”
has written out his ideas of religion as fel
lows :
Wo want a religion that goes into the fami
ly; that keeps the husband from being spite
ful when tho dinner is late; keeps the wife
from being spiteful when the husband tracks
the newly washed floor with muddy hoots, and
makes the husband mindful of the scraper and
door mat: amuses the children as well as gov
erns them 5 projects the honeymoon into the
hart cstrnoon, and makes the happy hours like
the eastern fig tree, bearing in its bosom at
once the beauty of the tender blossom and tho
glory of the ripened fruit. We want* religion
that not only hears on the sinfulness of sin but
on the rascality of lying and stealing; a reli
gion that banishes all small measures from the
counters, small baskets from the stalls, pebbles
from the cotton hags, clay from pepper, sand
front sugar, chicory front coffee, beer-root from
vinegar, alum from bread, lard from butter,
strychnine from wine, and water from milk
cans. The religion that is to advance the
world will not put all the big strawberries and
peaches on top and nil the bad ones at the
bottom. It will not offer more baskets of for
eign wine than the vineyards ever produced
bottles. The religion that is to sanctify the
world pays its debts. It does not consider
forty cents returned for one hundred given,
according to Gospel though it is according to
law. It looks upon the man who fails in trade
and who continues to live in luxury as a thief.
It looks upon a man who promises to pay, and
who fails to pay it on demand without inter
est, as a liar,
Locokotivb AVitiiolt Steasi.—Tho N. Y.
Sun says that Mr. Moltz, after eight years’
labor, has produced a locomotive which he be
lieves will supercede the use of steam on rail
roads, and relieve the public of the apprehen
sion of disastrous explosions. The machine is
set in motion by levers acting on an eccentric,
which moves the wheels of the engine. Bal
ancing weights and springs seem to supply the
motive power. The model, which is on exhi
bition in New York, cost tho inventor $13,000.
I am rich enough, says Pope to Swift, and
ean afford to give away a hundred pounds a
year. I would not crawl upon the earth with
out doing good. I will enjoy the pleasure of
what I give by giving it alive, and seeing
another enjoying it When I dio I should he
ashamed to leave enough for a monument, if a
wanting friend is above ground. That speech
of Pope is sufficient to immortalize him, inde
pendently of hi* philosophical verses.

We still live.
The Democrats nf Ne'.v Ihic and have neveT
lia<l justice done them, and we are "!ad of an.
opportunity to say a good word of some of
those sturdy .Vew Hampshire believers in the
Constitution who, year after year, poll their
votes in its defense, not a whit dismayed by
the raging of the heat! c > majority wherewith
they have to contend. On the last day of the
old year there mot in the Washington Town
Hall some three hundred of the unterrified to
renew their devotion to constitutional liberty,
and pledge themselves afresh to the great con
fliet of truth against error that must be had ere.
the republic “find repose in the triumph of
sound principles over the urns of the present
day.”
Among the addresses delivered was one by
a young man engaged in teaching, a Demo
crat: and we note the circumstance as afford
ing good hope that, if there he more like him,’
the children cf Mew Hampshire may learn
something of reading, writing, arithmetic, and
the Constitution of their fathers, and not be
crammed, as they too often are under Radical
auspices, with tha-husks of loilty alone. Af
ter sneaking and singing by the glee club, “a
beautiful collation, consisting of oysters;'
choice pastry, and good old New England cider,
was partaken of,” and then there was a dance.'
Among those present, it is recorded that there
was “ a negro, recently from Mobile, but stilt
more recently from Newport, N. 11., where he
mot such a. cold reception from his Republican
friends that bis feet vrero frozen. This negro
contributed to the entertainment by singing
several plantation melodics, to the great delight
of the ehildren.”
Now, this is a very pretty picture, is it not?
And see how poor Cuff, caught in the deai
waste and middle of a grim New England win
ter, does from the prating Radical hypoorites
who permitted his feet to freezo—aftor, no
doubt, enticing him from his Mobile homo—td
the Democrats, who give him bread and warmth
and set him in their midst to sing to the child
rcn.
Truly, whether in the North or in the South
the Democrat is the host friend tho negro has;
Wo may refuse him tho ballot and think him
not fit to hold tho reins of State, but then, in
the name of Humanity, with abig If, we don’t
freeze his foot.— X. V. World.
Great discovery for the South.
Iho Journal of Agriculture says, tho pam
phlet on the use and merits of tho # Ramie, by
Dr. Koczol, contains all tho information neces
sary to those interested in this valuable discov
ery—ami describes this plant, with all its ad
vantages over cotton, and as a substitute for
it. It is conceded by tho results of eminent
French botanists, that this plant possesses the
following advantages, ( are al
ready patented for its preparation :)
1. fliafc the fibre of the Ramie is stronger
than that of the best European liemp.
2. That it is fifty per cent, stronger and bet
ter than the Belgian, flaxen, or linen fibre.
and. fliat the Ramie fibre may be spun as fino
as flax, and that it will bo doubly as dura*"
blc.
4. That the plant is r. vigorous grower, "and
will produce Far the greatest amount of texs
tile fibre of any plant hitherto known.
h. That it produce•» within the belt in Which
it flourishes, from three to five annual crop.*/
each equal to the best gathcicd froni hemp.
It requires less labor than cotton, is not
destroyed by tho caterpillar, does not suffer
from excess of rains, and withstands tho
drought without injury; can bo taken 1 rOttf
the field in the morning, and a few hours after
a nice fine fibre may be had by using a clean
ing machine patented by Roezel.
The fibre of this plant is when cleaned;
without bleaching purely white, far finer than
cotton or flax liner. The plant, in a warm
latitude, is perennial, and the crops from it ard
taken like those of cano, by cutting it at the
ground; from the rat toon a anew growth
springs up at once, giving from three to four,'
and even five cuttings per annum in Louisiana;
middle and lower Mississippi, Alabama, Texas,
Georgia, Florida and South Carolina. Rich;
sandy ground suits bc*t, hut it is so vigorous
that it will do well anywhere, and the roots, or
pieces of roots and stalks, can be used tb invT
crease the plantation.
In a word, the cultivation of this plant will
reconstruct the prosperity of the South, its
market price being already quoted in the for
eign prices current.—[Farmer’s Journal.
The Reason of It. —The “oldest inhabitant”

Mr. ftingham has introduced a bill which
provides for the admission of Mississippi after
its Legislature ratifies the 14th amendment,

imposed by the 3d section of the seventh article
to the Constitution.
