Attoiit to Buin Jail of Wilkes County.—
An attempt was made on Thursday night, the
4th, to burn the Jail. There were three negroes
confined in it at the time, who are accused of
the offence. Ilia Honor, Judge Wm. M. Keeae,
has called a special session of the Superior Court
on Die 22J of June, to investigate the matter.
Watax is Relief; —Both Houses of Congress
have concurred ill striking out the relief clauses
in the Georgia Constitution. Thus peri dies the
bubble of fraud with which the browns and
bullocks of the radical party have led to shame
some heretofore honest men. The result will be
perhaps, that those depraved creatures of the
white race who blacked their souls and their
faces to vote this radical ticket in hope of avoid*
ing their honest debts, will be the first whose
property will go off under the Sheriff’s ham
mer. Infamy will meet its reward.
Cmon of the Countr — We learn from a gen
tleman who Imm, within the last few days, had a
fine opportunity of seeing the crops of our coun
ty. rlwßt the crop of fall oats is very fine, in fuct
the best that has been raised f«w several years,
and that a large «rop has l The oats
planted in the spring are very indifferent, and
have been greatly injured by the ru*F. The Corn
is very promising. Cotton is backward and
•mall, generally. The Wheat crop is much bet
ter than most fattners supposed it would be a
few weeks since—it is being rapidly harvested
and the yield will doubt less he equal to the av
erage of years in this county
GenT Green has full sway over a great many
crops, his enemies are calling out lustily for re
cruits to check his rising strength.
Tbish Potatoes.— Mr. J. L. Quisenbury has fa
vored us with amesß of new Irish potatoes, nine
of which weigh three pounds and s twelve ounces
That is hard to beat for the first week in June.
They are of the variety called “pink eye,” and
if any one|has fsuch as can beat them wo
should like to have such proof as proves the pud
ding.
A Good Peacticc. —During last summer, our
merchants by common consent, closed doors at
aix o’clock, P. M., to all rw their employees an
hour or two of recreation. We suggest that this
practice be resumed at once. Business is dul*
enough and the days are long and hot enough to
render such a reprieve grateful to the young men
who are confined for twelve hours within the nar
row limi ts of the store. HTii not some of our
leading merchants secure the common under
standing and then set the example.
fg" Capt. P. H. Norton has just received a
lot of superior Ale and many other valuable
articles—See his advertisements.
or We call special attention to the adver
tisement of Mr. J. H. Fitzpatrick, which ap
pears in another column of to days issue.
ptT The attention of our readers is directed
to the advertisement of W. L. Keough. He is an
energetic young man and deserves the pattonage
of our citizens. Read his advertisements without

be gone.

The Southern Home Journal. —ln point of
Tftrit' this paper is
far superior—to any of the
gj the same class. It is rapidly growing into
popular favor, and bids fair soon to outstrip.many
of its competitors. When we take into cousidei -
ation the short time that it has been in existence
the immense circulation which it haa ah eady at
tained is really astonishing. The proprietor de
serves the unbounded support of the people of
Baltimore for the energy with which he has
pushed this enterprise to success in the short
pace of six months. It is a paper of which Bal
timore may justly be proud, and will be pointed
to in after years as an instance of the success of
Southern enterprises when properly managed.—

the following, which we take from the “JVnrth
ender,” have we seen on the subject. It will do
to publish, and do to be read, t<»o.
The printers dollars—where a*ethey? A
dollar here, and a dollar there, scattered over
numerous small towns all over the country, miles
and miles apart —how shall they be gathered to
together! The paper maker, tlm building owner
the journeyman compositor, the grocer, the tailor
and his assistants to him in carry ng on his busi
ness, have their demands, hardly ever so small as
as a single dollar. But the mites from here and
there must he diligently hoarded* 01 the where- !
with to discharge the liabilities wifi never he- '
come sufficiently bulky. iPe imagine the prin.
ter will have to get up an address 10 these wide
ly scattered dollars something like the follow
ing:
“Dollars, halves, quarters, dimes, and all r in
ner of fractions into which \e are divided, collect
yourselves, and c.une home 1 Ye are wanted !
Combinations of all sorts of men that help the
printer to become a proprietor, gather such force
and demand with such good reasons for your ap
pearance at his couuter, that nothing short of a
sight of your will appease them. Collect your
selves; for valuable as you are in the aggregate
single you will never pay the cost of g tillering.
Come in here in single file that the printer may
form you into u battalion, and send you forth
sgriu, to the battle for him and vindicted his
credit.”
Reader, are you sure you haven’t a couple of
the* printer’s dullats sticking about your “old
clothes!”
Bora—lt is well known that many of our
most valuable horses are killed every year by
hots or grubs, and that anv substance of suffi
cient chemical power to kill the hots, will tie*
troy llw horse al-o I have been informed by a
gentleman of strict reliability that the hots,
when pUeed by%w i»* i»i*i ia woM, wousd wriggle
througd |t unharmed. Also many other power
ful drugs have been applied with the same re
suits This being the case what can we then
give a horse internally with safety, that will .if
ford him relief by destroying the botn ! Well,
the substance is very simple, safe, and harmless
to the horse, but deuth >o the grub. It is simply
sweet oil. It is a well known fact that ail hirvie
breathe through the pores of their skin, and if
they are enveloped in oil, they cease to breathe
and as a consequence must die IPlien ajliorae is
attacked with the botn, give him a quart of sweet
oil, and if they have not already done hin a fatal
injury he will recover.
To Clear a House op Vermin. —Burleigh, of
the Boston Journal, says: “I tell you, ladies, a
secret that may be worth your knowing—a new
remedy to clean a house of roaches and vermin
has been found. o complete is the remedy that
men offer to rid premises of all these pestilential
nuisances by contract. The article is sold un
der the name of French green and other high
sounding names, nnd at quite a high price. But
the Article, in plain English, is common green
paint in powder. Six cents worth used about
any house will “clear the kitchen,” and all its
surroundings. These pests infest many houses
in this city, ad nauseum, and we believe the la
dies will thank us for suggesting so cheap an
eradieator.”

I would also gif e an additional portion of truth

I would give to printers their pay.
To gossipping women g«*od sense, modesty,

BT LEON TROUSDALE.
One of these wonderful Rule warblers pipes
his clear, strong notes near our window, and
strains his little throat with melody the live-long
night. Some tribute is due to ao delightful a
charmer, whose constant serenades have given
such unalloyed pleasure. The variety of notes,
through the whole gamut of the wood
land s*»ogsters, is a source of Won
der and admiration. From merry tb moody,
from grave to gay, from sentimental to sorrow
ful, our versatile little friend climbs and descends
the scale of song with a nimblcness of movement
and a grace of touch quite equal to the roost eel
ibrated trillers of the divine urt. He is an or
' radiological polyglot, speaking with*accuracy,
fluency and elegance all the languages of all the
birds, from the lark or linnet to the bald eagle
of the cliffs Guided by his shrill accent, at
times, you are ready to vow that he is a genu
ine jaybird “on a swinging limb,” until he skil
fully turns his treble into the well known call of
the cat-bird. The sparrow’s chorus, the dove’s
coo, the pheasant’s whi-tie. and the crow’s cuw,
are all imitated with equal excellance. His
roundelay is certainly one of the m«>st curiousa«
well as entertaining in all nature. With equal
talent, as capacity, to itnproveise a mo>t t»xcel
lent concert sans opera Costume, he has some um
brageous bower foi his stage, the cathedral aisles
of the forest for his auditorium, the lustrous moon
for his chaad *lier, the never failing stars for his
drop lights, the ever changing panorama of the
clouds and tinted sky, nnd shifting light and
shadow of landscape for his scenery, the whole
feathered world for his dramatis peraonat, and
nature’s self for his unwearying theme. He is
at the same time baso, alto, soprano, tenor and
chorus, and his concerts are free alike from gas
and clink of gold, from fashionable folly and up
start pride,and from envious criticism,
After listening to his mellifluous matinee (it
waS after high meridian) in a state of half slum
ber, we fell to considering what parallels might
be found in nature, appealing to the other senses,
as this warbler docs to the hearing. The gera
nium, among plants, with its diversified utul mul
tiplied scents and perfumes, imitating a great
variety of objects, is a mocking plant to the
sense of smell The chameleon is a mocker of
colors, deluding the sense of sight with its chang
ing nnd evanescent hues. Here our dreaming
parallels in nature ended.
