Heading matter on evert page
_ HP Congress re-assembled in Washington on
Wednesday last, and lour »ew reconstruction bills
wet* introduced. The South is undermost now
—when Its day of power comes again, as it will,
(Nteiy dog,” etc.) she will know how to use it.
ST Hr. Anthony, of Columbia, Richard Gil
hurt, of Wilkes, and Moire, (colored) of Co
lumbia, compose the Registry Board of the 19th
Senatorial District. They are new eagageJ in
the lower counties and will not be in Wilkes
probably before Ist Anguat.
No OaaixaaT.—Th» Tenancy in the office of
Ordinary of Wfh* County since the death of
Captain NeflpW. occasions much inconvenience
and trouble The military have declined to ap
indeed under the Attorney Generals
opinion, cannot. How long wc will be in this
eoaditicst, no one can tell.
Coax roa Widows, Ac —The quota cf Corn,
for Wilkes oounty, authorise ! by the last Leg.
islatnre to be purchased for "the Indigent widows
and orpbana of deceased soldiers ami disubled
soldiers,” has arrived and is now ready for dis
tribution. at tho Court House. Mr, Geo Dyson,
Clerk of the Court, has the matter in charge.

Cotton Bm.t.—Capt. Thbs. T. Hunter handed
us en the first instant a perfect boll of Cotton,
from which the bloom had dropped apparently
six toten days lx-fore. The note accompanying
eays: “This is not an Uolaied one, but was sur
roundvd by hundreds.” This is a peg further
ahead than any crop we have beard of. The
Captain supposes he is behind some of his neigh*
bora who are more experienced planters; but we
doubt it.
t W Sale day passed off quietly, though
there was considerable attendance in town of
onr good friends from the country. The house
and lot of G. M. Maxwell was sold at Sheriff's
•ale, at (400. There were said to lie some en
cumbrances on the property. No other sales of
importance, The reports of crops from all sec
tion. of the country are generally favorable. —
One or two more good sensons will make a good
deal of corn. Cotton is growing well under the
influence of the hot sun.
Fii-h Aerivals.—Messrs. B. S. Irvin, M. 11.
Lane J. T. Battle, M. P. Reoar, L. I. Jlill and
8. M. Wynn, young gentlemen of this town and
county who have very creditably represented us
at the University of Virginia, during the past
nine months, reached their homes a few days
since. They bear the laurels of successful schol
arabip, in the shape of diplomas, distinctions etc.
and so find cheerful welcome on their return.—
We suppose they will finish their cduentional
course now, by polishing off, not at Penfield, hut
in the corn field.
F. B-—For the benefit of the public !»nd by
bequest of the merchants in the touflf we giVt*
notice that the dry gsod stores arc closed daily
at six o'clock p. m„ except on Saturday after-
Boons, This plan is adopted by general consent
(n order to afford leisure for recreation to the
clerks. Persons therefore who wish to make
purchases should be in town before that hour.,

Southern Bovs and Girls Monthly.—This
new childrens’ periodical continues its regular

without charge or commissions.
Tax Riverside Magazine for young people
is at hand again. Tin froLtispiec- this time is
•Bobby Bltaftoe’s gone to Sea,” from Mother
Goose A biography of Samuel Adams, a Stuff
from Sliakspifcre,and Lazy Bunch” are all the
best of their respective kinds, and together with
.many other little tales and narratives make an
entertaining and instructive little book for chil
dren. The Story of Lazy Bunch deserves to rank
with Red Riding Hood, and Jack and his Bean
SUlk; and, by the way, if the publishers could
get up this last, the original version, and with
illustrations, they would confer a favor on the
youngsters of the rising generation. Our May
number of tbe Riverside is still missing, and we
hope the publishers will send it. Terms $2.60.
In Ciobs, $2 per annum. A list is being made
up at this office.
The President’s visit to Boston, was, says
the Boston Courier , a Godsend, to the sensation
clergy—and we think it was literally bo, judg
ing from a sermon preached upon the subject on
the Sunday previous, by the Rev. Mr. Mumford,
■of Dorchester, Mass. Hie discourse was conclu -
ded with a picture, graphic and plearing, of what
the occasion would have been if Lincoln were
President, instead of Mr. Johnson—Lincoln be
ing referred to by this worthy divine as “Him
who died for us/*
The Connecticut Senate has passed an eight
hour law. It had already parsed the House, and
goes into operation on the first of January next.
O* ITe learn from CoL O. L. Battle, who has
tt arrived from Texas, that the general crop
aspects in that State are good, especially for
com, which is at this time considered safe, for an
abundant yield, though a little backward, (tot
ton in Middle and Eastern Texas has been injur
ed by excuse of ram, and want of work. The
negroes are reported to be working well, in the
main—better than last year.
Tax 4th of July passed without any demon
stration whatever in our quiet town, the only*
variation bring tbe presence of several dozen
loafing negroes on the street. All the respecta
ble colored men of the town were at their usual
avocations. The day meets from our people the
same degree of respect that the principles it
commemorates meet at the hands of the Rump
Congress.
Th* Scikscx of Kresixo.—The writer of
the following has evidently “been there
and knows all about it.” He gives some pre
liminaries as to time, place and circumstance
and then proceeds in the following manner,
which seems to do better justice to the sweet
occasion than anything we have yet seen, and we
are a judge of such things:
“1 ake the left bund of the lady in your right.:
let your hat go to—any place out of the wav ;
ihrow the left band gently over the shoulder of
the Indy, and let it full down the right side to
ward the belt. Don’t be in a hurry ; draw her
gently, lovingly to your heart. Her head will
fall lightly upon your shoulder— and a handsome
shoulder strap it makes! Don’t be in a hurry !
send tt little life down y«*ur left arm. Her left
hand is in your right, let there be nn impression
to that not like the grip of a vice, but a gentle
clasp, full of electricity, thought and respect.
Don’t be in a hurrvl—her head lies carelessly on
your shoulder. You are nearly heart to heart—
look into her half-closed eyes. Geptly, though
manfully press her to yourJjosom Stand firm.
He brave, but don’t be in a hurry. Her lips are
almost opened. Lean lightly forward, with the
head, not with the body. Take good aipi; tho
lips meet—the eyes close—the heart opens—the
soul rfdes the storm, troubles and sorrows of life
(don’t be in a hurry); heaven opens before you—
Hie world shoots under your feet, as a meteor
flashes across the evening sky (don't be afraid)—
the ne» ves danco before the just erected altar of
love, as zephyrs dance with the dew trimmed
flowers—the heart forgets its bitterness, and the
art of kissing is learned. No fuss, no noise.no
fluttering and squirming like hook impaled
worms.—Kissing don’t hurt; it don’t require a
brass band to make it legal.
Selling off at com'— \Nc call attention to
the advertisement of Mrs. H F. Andrews.—
Those in search of good bargains bad better give
her a call before purchasing elsewhere.
New Flour.— Out kind and clever Agent of
the Southern Express Company, Mr. Thos. Cor
bin, has received a lot of fine new Flour from
the Gate City Mills. Our friends that are fond
of good biscuit had better call and get them n
supply of the best Flour we have seen since the
war.

OTJR CEMETERY.
Ktotne, bright improvement, on th#car of Time,
nd rule the spacious world from clime to clime ”
For ma?Y years Washington has been, to a
great extent, ltd urideofthe Empire State, the
most desirable little Tillage in Georgia. Our
people once had some public Spirit among them;
some pride. Where is it now f It cannot all be
gone! Any ouc knows we arc not able to kc*V
up tjie “good looks” of the whole of our town now,
a? before the war. IPe must have time to re
cuperate, yet with all our losses we are able to
do our duty in spine respects. And, Mr. Editor,
I ask how is it 1 why is its that a sufficient
amount of funds eannot be collected apd put in
the hands of tome worthy citizen, to have onr
Cemetery placed in a respectable condition !
There are some porlions of the grounds truly
beautiful, and they speak plainly what can be
done with but little cost and trouble , but there
are other jw>rlions which sadly need attention.
Let there be tome concert of action, let it not
Imj forgotten l»y us that we have friends, and and car
loved ones, sleeping there; it becomes us to watch
their silent homes, for—
“ The silvery stars and moon that slime
Above those hallowed grounds,
Give evidence through night’s decline.
They watch those blessed mounds.”
Let the people of Washington show by their
actions that’t is hallowed ground If the gentle
men ore too much occupied with their business
affairs; let the ladies come forth and bring about
the desired impioveraents and make the home of
our dead more desirable and pleasant. ’Twill
take but very little trouble tool-tain a sufficient
sura (f«»r n<«ne nre heartless enough to refuse to
contribute) to hire some worthy old freedmun to
take charge and keep in order our burying ground.
The hands of the lair sex are ever ready fur such
woik,
“They plant the willow and the yew,
The cypress and the rose,
And train the roirtle how to grow
*Bove those in death’s repose.”
Citizen.
A Parody-
Young man, spare that girl!
Kiss not those lips so red 1
Unruffled let the chignon curl,
Upon the maiden’s bepd.
Believe her not a Saint;
Tho’ her looks are all Divine.
Her rosy hue is paint,
Her fcjrm Is crinoline.
The Lincoln (N. C. ) Courier learns from a re
liable source that freedmen are being supplied
from various points of the Southern coast osten
sibly as free emigrants to Liberia, but in reality
to be desposed of as slaves to the Cuban plan
ters. A gentleman from South Carolina, a prom
inent leader during the war it is s- id, purchased,
a few weeks ago in Cuba, where he had a plan
tation, one ot his former sjaves.
A young lady had her “cap set” for a rather
large “feller/’ but failed to win him, when n
confident tried to comfort her with the Wordi,
“Never mind, Mollie, there is as good fish in the
sea ever was caught.” “Mollie knows that,” re
plied h?r brother, “but she wants a whale.”
[Rancid Butte*.— ITe clip tfie folio Tag" re
cipe from an exchange, which if triK .will be
beneficial to our lady readers:
To a pint of water add thirty dre u (about
half a teaapoonful)of liquor of clhoric of lime.
Wash in this two and a half pounds if rancid
butter. WTien every particle of the I iter has
come in contrast with the water, let it it and an
hour or two; then wash the butter ago iin pure
water. The butter is then left wit put any
odor, and has the sweetness of fresh utter.—
These preparations of lime have nothin injnri
ous in them.
The same paper says: ITe forthwit i obtain
ed some of the most rancid butter, ai lit was.
enough for any stomach that had tore sen
sibility than a wagon wheel. Wo doc red it as
per recipe, and xhen placed on the t Lie along
with the new, good butter, very all» judges
could nut distinguish which was tho n< kbutter.
Here is a fact worth a year’s subscri ion to a
paper.
Conservatives Must not Divide—T ere will,
no doubt, be some in Georgia who arc ot radi
cals, who will not vote for a Convei ton’ and
others equally patriotic will vote again t a Con
vention. But there is no necessity for wo par
ties. I-at all register who can vote, ad at the
election those who want- a Convent,io J* will of
course, want a good man to reperesen them in
the Convention. Those who vote again ; « Con
vention, can at the same time, vote f< -a good
min to represent them in case a major ft should
he io favor of a Convention In that both
thorie who favor a < onvontirm, mid t! who
oppose, can vote foi the * m« man. so t at if the
Mate votes for a Convention, we haven h legato
already elected, and if Convention is vot fi dowu,
there is no harm done. JCe w o are Worv
atives can all vote for thesnnie delgah&vUether
we vote for a against a Convention Jfhe on y
safe way will be tor nil to agree on a “n.hdate
and elect him. However, we may divide on the
propriety of a Convention, we need nufnttd we
inu.-t not,divide on the propriety of electing the
right sort of delegates.
The Surrat Jury —There is doubt whether
the jury is a legal one. The Work of Impanel
ling a jury was commenced on t hur day before
Judge Fi>her, when three jurors were obtained.
On Friday Judge Fisher was too ill to appear in
court, and Judge Wylie declined then tp act. On
Saturday Judge Fisher was still ill, Hut Judge
Wylie proceeded wsh the selection of a jury,
although his action w as protested against by the
counsel for the prosecution os illegal.
Deductions for Losses by Firk.—Tic origin
al cost of property destroyed by fire dqring the
year 1866, los9 the amount received by {psurance
thereon, may bo deducted from tho income of
that year of the person to whom the Iqfs occur
red. Estimated appreciations or depreciations
of property are in no case to be considered in
ascertaining amounts to be taxed nfe income.
Correspondence from Ireland states positively
that Uames Stevens had just paid a visit to Dub
lin, and returned to France after attempting to
defend his course in a Fenian council in Dublin.
There was no hope for the cause. The writer
states as a result of the Fenian movement, the
United States will this year gain an abundant
supply of most valuable emigrant labor from Ire-

The Americas Republican contains a state

The battle-ground about Richmond are rapid
ly losing their distinctiveness. The earth is
being leveled in some places, and in others sown
with grain. The earth works around Richmond
and Petersburg are still standing, and, from the
ton of Church Hill, the inner line of fortifications
is plainly visible. Btt the traces of Lfrittle are
even now scarcely diacernabii>, and wil(| soon be
entirely obliterated.
The Kational Intelligencer denies ‘'Sint mili
tary government in this country is of le

cannot, therefore, have any higher sanction than
theft, robbery, or murder. Yet we say to the
South, yield a willing obedience to the despotism
the Republicans have put on you. And wo say
further, keen an account of yocr eaciwes—an
accurate and full account, with names, dates, and
facts, for the day of judgment will come.”
The crop accounts continue favorable from
nearly all parts of the country, and the breadstuff
