\\7E aro aware that a .seoyiid postpone-
T V ment of the distribution of the shares
of the Confeder ate Monumental Association
of Georgia will dissatisfy some of the ticket
holders. Providence has iullicled upon al
most every section of our country, for the
last month, the severest weather that has
been known for many years. The highways
of travel in many sections have been stop
ped. Communications between neighbor
hoods have been iuterrup'ed. People have
been compelled to keep close at their homes.
One Agent writes: ‘‘The postponemen
ts so short that owing to Lire bad weather il
will be impossible for me to a'd you as 1
expected.” A State Agent informs us that
•‘the contribution ftom nis State will be
cut down to a small amount by the inclem
ent weather, and the shortness of tiiue.”
One Agent stated to us in person that there
was many who wished to subscribe —that
lie had hot been able to see in consequence
of the extreme bitterns* of the weather.
Another Agent declined to act longer, as
the time was too short to obtain t! e desired
results in his State. .We might quote fiom
other letters to show that comphtiVl has
been made; that we sought expedite the
drawing bv inadequate lime. We frankly
confess, that we desired to close the effort
we have beun making. The object, sought
is a grateful one. We have been influenced
to hold on by our desire to honor the mem
ory of personal relative* and friends, as well
as their lost and devoted comrades. Wo
use the occasion to add that we have in no
small degree been influenced to continue
our efforts to protect the credit of our State
and section. Wo look to a quenchless vestal
fire, without which, their can he no sou!, no
true greatness,"no noble sentiment in com
munities of tmftdns.
We .-re Agents to guard this -real and
mdfct sacred er.tei pjt.se. We ask the ticket
holders to give us "their confidence. We
ask them to rely upon our judgments fur

properly add that -for weeks past the ex

some of which are lucrative, have directed
at.tejitiVm from this effort to do garateful

We trust, no one will be dissatisfied, but
that ah will unite with us in saying that the

or the new made grave, our heroes are

Falsehood runs through ways obscure
And very fast doth go,
But Truth, who moveth slow,
The longest doth endure.
And though by falsehood often east
By aid of arts and lies, -
Truth e'er again doth rise,
And wins the prize at last.
While gentle Truth in speech is plain,
Small oruamet t and show,
Base falsehood hath a flow
Of words that fall like rain.
Full many gaibs doth falsehood wear,
While Truth has only one;
But that is well pul on,
And Truth doth best appear.
Tho’ Falsehood’s garb he long and wide,
And made with wondrous care,
It ever leaveth some part hare
The wily jade wouli hide.
Falsehood dwells in lips and eyes,
And dies unhelped by art,
While Truth, down in the heart,
Lives on and never dies !
SIMMS’ DOG.
BY MAX ADELEU.
Wc did not want to take Simms’ dog
florae for Aim; but Simms insisted upon
it. lie wanted to go to meet
a man, and so he placed one ebd of the
cliain in our hand, and left before we |
had time to remonstrate. So, as it was
absolutely necessary to do something
with tlse dog, we concluded that it
would be better to do as Simms sug
gested, and take Aim home. He was a
large dog, and Ais temper was not of
angelic sweetness’. When wo started
Lome with him, Ac seemed disinclined
to go. He appeared to entertain a
preference for lying down and thinking
—probably about the succulence and
juiciness of the bites lie bad taken out
of various human legs during bis career.
When we pulled at the chain he growl
ed. When wc whistled he rose and
shook up the hair on his spine and
showed his teeth. When we attempted
to drag him along by force lie flew at
our leg and attempted to help himself
to a mouthful, .-0 that he could in future
have another cherished recollection upon
which toinus. ar.d ponder. We dodged
him and seized a cane, one end of which
we inserted in his collar, so that he
could be kept at a safe distance. Then
he was suddenly seized with an intense
yearning to reach Simms’ house at oucc,
and he started with a jump. For three
or four hundred yards the procession
went on smoothly enough ; but we
should, perhaps, have gone more rapid
ly towards Simms’ if the dog had not
been possessed by an irresistible desire
to be sociable with every other dog that
came within a square of him.
Once Sitnms’ dog obtained too much
sociability. There was a bigger dog,
which seemed more anxious to commune
with Simms' dog than the latter did
with him. The brief interview ended
with a fight. We were so much inter
ested that when hostilities began wc
climbed impetuously over a fence, in
order, as it were, to obtain a better
standpoint from which to view the con
flict. We watched the fray from the
other side, while we passed the chain
i between the panels and endeavored to
! soothe the excited passions of the par
i ties. Simms’ dog, we regret to say,
whipped. Then we concluded to vary
I the exercises a little by starting for
hoine again. But the blood of Simms’
dog was up. As soou as wo began to
cross the fonco lie made such a savage
demonstration at us that we thought it
would boa suicido to get down among
him. We determined to remain where
we were. But Si turns’ animal was ani
mated by aggressive zeal. If we would
not go to him ho would go to us. So
lie began to crawl through the fence at
the panel through which his chain went.
Just as he completed the task we ad
-1 journed with singular promptness to the
I other side. Simms’ dog looked sur-
prised and grieved, but lie emitted a
savage growl and begun to crawl back
again. It seemed then as if considera
tions of a strictly personal but very
urgent nature required that we should
return to the previous side of the fence;
and when we did, Simms’ dog seemed
to regard it as a sacred duty to climb
back at once. We like'a dog to have
perseverance aud determination, and
Simms’ dog had. As these gymnastics
were fust becoming monotonous, wo
concluded to vary them ; so we let the
dog go und repaired to a neighboring
tree. As soon aa the dog arrived be
gazed upward for awhile and drank in
the scene. Then be seemed satisfied,
aud lay down at the foot of the tree to
wait till we descended. lie stayed
there four hours, and so did we. We
couldn t desert such a faithful dog as
that. At the end of that time Simms
hove in sight, and, standing there be
neath the outspreading branches of that
noble old monarch of the forest, turned
Ins fate upward and abused us scurril
ously for not bringing home his dog, as
we had promised to do, intimating at
the same time his belief that we cher
ished an intention to steal tho brute.—
We should have dropped on Simms’
bead and crushed him to the earth if
bis dog hadn’t been there. As it was,
we overlooked the insult, and be went
borne with his menagerie. Tho next
time we have a dog to take home we
shall kill him before we start.

THE PATRONS OF INDUSTRY.
Within the past four years there has
been established and organized aa Asso
ciation of Farmers known as the Patrons
of Industry, that is destined, in a few
years more, I think, to accomplish great
good for the.whole country, but more
especially for the South. The objects
of tlie Association are:
Ist. Systematic arrangements for pro
curing, or disseminating, in the nio.it ex
peditious manner, information relative
fo crops, demand and supply, prices,
markets and transportation.
2d. The purchase and exchange of
stock, seed-, and desired varieties of
plants and trees.
3. Ascertaining and testing the merits
of newly invented farming implements,
and those now in general use.
4th. Detecting and exposing those
that are unworthy, and for protecting
by all available means, the farming in
terests from fraud and deception, and
combinations of every kind.
sth. The intellectual,social and moral
improvement of the rural population,
through the pleasant intercourse and
impressive and instructive ritual of the
Order.
The Order is secret for the purpose
of making it cohesive and giving it
long life; without this feature where
would bo your Masons or Odd Fellows?
Y"et with it they staud to-d*v, aud will
continue to be and prosper till old
Time shall roll up his scroll and-cast it
behind him for ever. Besides, being
secret and working with closed doors,
with the outside world shut out, gives
the Order greater fervor to work for
its owu members.
It is an Order belonging peculiarly
to the farming community, and some
thing that they have long needed.—
Farmers, as a class, are prone to segre
gate; our calling has a tendency to
isolate us from each other, and the rest
of the world; and it is for this very
reason that we are so easily imposed
upou. The merchants, and the doctors,
and the brick makers, and the brick
layers have their conventions and stand
side by side, while the poor farmer
struggles alone with no hand to help
and no voice to cheer him.
Being secret, the Order can select
its own members and exclude the un
worthy.
The Order now numbers its Granges
by the thousand; aud in almost every
II a year, in advance.
; Stato of the Union. It is something
that we have long needed, and the
farmers have received itVith openness
wherever it has been received. It canto
with no flourish of trumpets, but as
silently as the snow upon the waters of
tho river, and tho farm :rs of the whole
country have welcomed it as a long
sought friend.
We have organized a Grange of nine
males and four females, atid ask the
farmers of good standing to come and
join us. Our first meeting will take
place next Saturday at some room or
hall, to be announced by our Worthy
Master, Dr. J. S. Lawton, at which
time every member of tho Grange is re
quested to be present.

T!ic East Hours off tun modore
Maury.
A correspondent of the Albany Even
ing Journal furnishes to that journala
letter from one who was with Commo
dore Maury in his last hours, and wdio
testifies in a tender and interesting
manner to the happy death of tha t great
man. We quote:
Tho last two days of Mathew F.
Maury’s life was grand—a complete
triumph. In perfect possession of his
faculties to the last. I wish all the
world could have seen that death, it
was such a triumphant one. We sung
hymns around his dying bed, aud after
the last one, Friday evening—it was
“Christ is Risen” —llo put out both
hands and said, slowly and distinct
ly:
“The peace of God, which passeth
all understanding, be with you all—all.”
lie blessed every one separately, and
prayed ever so fervently, and in the
most beautiful language. Ho said he
would be in a moribund condition for
several days. Twice Friday wo were
all summoned. He would look around
and if all were not in the range of bis
sight he would call out the names of
those whom he missed. Gazing earnest
ly into the face of each he said some
thing appropriate and affectionate, al
ways winding up with “You see hew
God has answered my prayer, and I
know you every one.” Ho said, “I shall
retain my senses to tha end. God has
granted mo that us a token of tny ac
ceptance. I have set my house in or
der. My prayers have all been an
swered, My children are gathered
around my bed, and now, Loan, what
wait I for ?” He t hen repeated a
prayer of cloven petitions, which ho
wanted each of hjs childreu and grand
children to use every day. He had
composed it for himself almost forty
years ago, the night after his leg was
broken, and he had repeated it every
night since, not missing one; and then
he prayed : “O Lord, touch mv lips
with hallowed fire, like saiah’s of old,
that Imay testify to Thy love and
mercy to me, who am but a little child
in all save wickedness.*.” He then re
quested that when the physicians pro
nounceded him dying he should be in
formed of if. As the supreme hour
drew near, he turned to his sou and
asked him in the language of the ruling
passion, “Do I seem to dragmy anchors?”
—The answer, “They arc sure and
steadfast,” gave him great comfort.
Just before he expired, he said, dis
tinctly “Lord, receive my soul,” and
lifting up both hands towards heaven
like a child who wants to be taken up,
1 calling on the name of Jiis Father. So
i he passed away at twenty minutes to i
I one'o’clock on Saturday morning. He
licit a request that his funeral should
not take place until the spring, and
i t
theu he wished his poor body to be
! taken through the Goshen Pass, when
I the r ododeurons and laurels are in
bloom, and asked us to pluck their
j blossoms as we passed, and shower them
I over his bier as we bore him to his
final resting place, in Fredericksburg or

The Tux on Printing Aluteiinls.
We cor.fuss to a great surprise at tho
i recent vote of tho House of Represen
tatives on. the question of taxing the
Press. We arc uot so much suaprised
at the result as at tho vote itself. The
Legislature while throwing away a good
deal of its time on bills of tho*most tri
vial character, and needlessly spending
hudlh eds of dollars every day, still had
;an over present idea of doing some
thing—not always well defined nor al
ways well understood— that would re
dound to the financial w Vo of the
S.tntc. Knowing,his we arc noi.great
ly surprised that the motion to exempt
the Press frotn taxation should have
been lost, but wo aro considerably as-
iN0.30.
tonished that tlie number voting in fa
vor of it was so small.
The Press asks exemption from tax
ation on three grounds: The first, aud
perhaps the least, is that no country ou
earth, so far as our information goes,
imposes a tax on the types, presses and
oiher material of the printer. Every
State in the Union and we believe all
European countries exempt newspapers,
and so did Geogia until the mongrel
This body, among other notable things,
such as increasing the State debt sev-
eral millions, imposed a tax on printing
materials. Tho present Legislature
have followed their footsteps.
The next reason assigned iu favor of
exemption is that the printing material
may be properly classed among the
tools of mechanics, which are universal
ly exempt. And the thirl and highest
ground is that we place the Press a
moug the educating powers "of the land,
and claim the same immunity from tax
ation that is granted to school and col
lege property. We claim—aud we
think we can do it without arrogance—
that we are, to a certain extent and in
a certain way, the educators of the peo
ple. It matters not if we make money
by our business; the same reasonf or
taxation would apply to schools aud
colleges. We would like to see the
teacher who does ilfU make all the mon
ey he can. We do* not claim exemp
tion by reason of our poverty but as a
matter of justice.
And as we say there is one other rea
son--gratitude for public services—that
might be advanced. When the State
was in the hauds’of Radicals; when her
people were, being slowly but surely
dragged down to the humiliation and
the misery that inevitably follow Radi
cal rule in the South, the Press of Geor
gia made unceasing and uncompromising
warfare on tho usurping government,
and no one agency did as much' as this
to redeem Georgia and lift her out of
the dust.
Tho Legislature exempted manufac
tories from taxation for ten years, but
bad not a solitary encouragement to
offer to the Press.
