This Prayer of Moses.
It was only last Saturday that we first heard
Shoot tbe “prayer of Moans.” Two very promt-
nant eittssns of Usoan, of the olden time, bath
dead now, were a certain physioian of Irish
origin and a learned judge of great personal
dignity and wide reputation. There was an
enoonnterof wits between theie one day, when
tbedoetor, in response to a jibe from the judge,
remarked: “Judge, doatless ye are a man of
great worth and personal dignity, bnt perhaps
Uw foineat point about ye la that ys have no
osoaalon at all for the prayor of Moses.” “The
prayer of Mites 1’ exolaitned the judge—
“what was the prayer of Misesf” “Why,
Jodge, perhaps ye arc aware from the oatechlsm
and primer that Moses was ths mtekat man.
Bat like the very sensible jintleman and min
of strong part* that be was, be was much dis
tressed with the secret eonaolonsneas of pushing
this vartoo into tbe region of infarmlty and be
setting sin. Moses, therefore, mod to rise np
airly every morning and pray that the Almighty
would not let him think too mtnetp of himtllf;
and. Judge, ye ought to thank God ye've not

In another portion of this edition will be
fennd a valuable analysis of the notion seed
cake and ita nsea and value, both as food for
cattle and food for the soiL This article was
prepared for the Tzlzokapb asd Mxszogxe
P/ofeeaor Jones, of New Orleans, one of the
moot eminent among Southern scientific men,
and may bo relied upon as perfectly accurate.
The analysis proves that the Southern farmer
baa, in hia eotton reed, not only a stock food
superior !o any of-the grains, bnt a fertiliser of
remarkable strength and value.
There ia a point connected with Southern ag
riculture which is exceptional in ita favor; and
although attracting bnt comparatively little at
tention now, when wo have not got beyend the
merest crudities in farming, will one day arrest
the observation cf Ihe world. It ia its self-sup
porting character. When the Northern or West
ern farmer prodnoeo and sells bis yearly suc
cession of food crops, he is annually shipping
from his farm in immense balk tbe wealth of
the soil, and ac-les* it be returned in the most
libera] and expensive application of maun
hi* soil mn*t. eventually come to exhaustion and
poverty. But as the process of depletion haa
always been far mare rapid than that of reen
peration—as a hnpdred fold more has beau
taken than has been returned, all the old wheat
States, even where farming has been pursued
with more system and intelligence than any
where else in the United State*, show by care-
fnl statistics a woful falling off from their early
productive power.
In New Tork, Pennsylvania and Ohio the
average wheat prodact per acre has diminished
about a hundred per oenb, and la still deereas
ing Tbe black prairie lands of the Western
States are boasted to be inexbanelable—bnt thin
is a great mistake. They mast ultimately faint
trader that terribly depleting proocss which
yearly sends off the productive power of tbe
land to ho oonsumrd at distant poin'o. and
makes little or no return of the abstracted fer
tility.
But how ia it about Sonthern farming ? Ocr
corn la all consumed upon the land, and the
yearly prodnot In the stock manure should add
to its fertility. Of the cotton crop produced
the stelk and the seed remain and can and
should bo restored to tbe soil—the latter direct
Iv or taring intermediately subsisted stock—In
either oase supplying or more than supplying
tbe lost of fertility in the prodnctlon of the
crop, according to tho intelligence, care and
■kill with which it is handled. Than, or tbe
cotton crop, the teed which embraces more
than two-tbirds tbe weight of prodact and near-
all its fertilizing properties, is returned to
the soiL
Thns this grand difference exists between
Southern and other farming—that whereas the
latter necessitates a prodigious drain upon tho
soil, as the main condition noon which crops
can be marketed, the latter sends little or noth-
Ing to market which mast neoesiarily impover
ish hia soil In any considerable degree by ths
annual produotlon. Biyond a doubt with skill
and caro tho Sonthern farmor can yearly add
the fertility of hia sores without going bo
yond thorn for fertilizers, and only using with
caro and economy the refuse of their products.
And, wo might add, naiog his plow with oaro—

nection with onr heavy washing rains which
have laid waste so mnch of Georgia.
Unquestionably the jndlolons nee of onr cot*
ton seed is one of tbe most important subjects
which can be presented to the Georgia farmers,
and we, therefore, ask their close attention to
the artiolo of Dr. Jones, and tho dednotions
and suggestions whieh are to be drawn from it.

Death ol one of the High Priests of

liSwta Taposn. tbe crost nb-tltionlflt t. i—J,
and the New Tork Methodist says bis death
'seems seasonable. ” We agree with that j inr-
nal, from tbe opposite standpoint, however.
The Methodist says he was “slandered mobbed,
and ble life hazarded” in tbo glorious came.
Bat his trinmph shows “there is moral order in
the universe, and great is tho troth and it mart
prevail.” Now had ths old “fanatlo” “sbuffisd
off this mortal coil” a score of years ago. It
might have saved a terrible war and the saori-
flee of heoatombs of liveA And eui bono T Tbe
African Is poorer, mire ignorant, given ovor to
fetishism, plundered by bis liberators and al
lies, is deoreating in numbers, and in a very bad
ay generally. His wblto brethren at the South
too, after suffering decimation in a conflict
where valor contended in vain against brute
numbers, constantly replenished from abroad,
havo been bleeding at ovary pore over sinoe,
from the ruffiin and unjust treatment of thsir
own countrymen. Even the aonqnerors, too,
begin to feel the galling ohain of their own
forging, in increased taxation, the profiigaoy of
their rnlara, and Ihs threatened usurpation of
tho government of their fathers.
These then are tha baleful fruits of that
emancipation whieh was so largely brought
abont by the aged marplot who at length bas
finished bis course on earth. And now forsooth
they would canon’is him for aiding in tbe over
throw of ao iurtitntion which, however absurd
in individual instances, is yet ss mnch author
ized by tha Almighty as that of marriage. And,
indeed, it wonld appear from the terrific cata
logue of divorces In “the land of steady habits,”
that soon this ordinance likswise will share tho
fate of slavery.
For these reasons, therefore, we eeho the
remark of the Methodist, that the demies of
the Arch Abolitionist Tappiu “is seasonable.”
So far aa the finite mind, however, can judge,
it wonld havo been better for his kind “of every
raee end previous condition,” if the event had
tsken plaoe two decades of years ago.
Let him sleep, however. We war not against
tho shades of the departed.
The Third Term, and Why Not ?
Under this head the Springfield (Mass.) Re
publican says:
We see no Teason to budge from the opinion,
heretofore expressed In these columns, that
Gen. Grant cannot get s re-nomination even if
he is after it, of which there is as yet no satis
factory proof. There are too many eminent
republican statesmen who have intended Han
nah for themselves, and who realize the fact
that time is fleeting. Even if be should rce-
oeed in thia preliminary contest, we believe it
wonld only be to receive a sonnd and exemplary
beating at the polls. The loyal masses are not
ao amenable to party disriptlne as they were
last year, before Credit Mobilier came ont and
farmers' granges came in; and they are not so
sure about General Grant. Tbe signing of the
salary bill, tho onstiog of Mr. Curtis, the reten
tion of Casey, tbe appointment of Bingham,
Sbellabarger, et al.—these things, if we may
use so coarse but expressive a metaphor, rather
stick in the pnblio crop. Moreover, wo do not
believe the people are ready, as yet. for either
the life-oonsnlate or the empire. It is quite
possible the spec'.aela of a President openly
seeking a third term might give precisely that
shock to the national system which is needed to
dispel the lethargy that now oppresses it, aet
the blood tingling through the veins, and restore
the suspended functions to a normal activity.
ail 0 f which is quite cheerful reading. We
foar though the Republican editor is a con
firmed optimist. If Grant wants to be nomi-
natrd sgain he will give orders to that effect and
the thing will be done. He owns the Radical
party jnst aa literally and entirely as a man ever
owned a negro in tho good oldonfr Jrfhtm days.
Tux prevalence of cholera in some of the

A Fataa Fight.—The Marietta Journal says
On last Sunday week, Jefferson Weaver, who
ia abont 17 years old and the son of a widow
lady, g°t into a difficulty with a yonng man
named James Worley, who is about 21 years old,
which terminated in the death of tbe latter.
The families of both these young men Hve on
adjoining farms, and tbe joint fecco between
the respective farms being in a bad condition
permitted the stock of Mrs. Weaver to trespass
on the field of Mr. Worley. Thia foot was the
occasion of several quarrels between Ihe yonng
men, and consequently there existed bad feel-
ing between them. On last Sunday week,
Weaver and several vonog lads went down to
Etowah river, five miles from Canton, on the
Jaap- r road, for the purpose of bathing. They
had abont got throegh and were in a bateau,
when yonng Worley eame up with one or two
friends and boastinglysaid he ooold whip any
one in that crowd. Weaver, it seemed, was of
a contrary opinion, aud ho stated to young Wor
ley in language not to be misunderstood. Words
hot and angry ensued, then blows were struck,
and they grappled in a fearful straggle. Worley
being older was the strongest of tbe two and
Wearer was thrown to ihe ground, Worley fall
ing on top. Then commenced that struggle for
lift which drives men to desperate deeds.
Weaver wiA not alow to recognize his own dis
advantage and that he wonld be worsted in the
combat by hia antagonist. In a moment he
bad bis knife open and plunged it into the aide
of Worley, while the warm blood flowed from
the wound profusely. Still Worley did not
relax his hold npon Weaver. Then again and
again did the k-en blade of the knife finds its
ay into the body of Worley, until eleven stabs
were inflicted. Worley was taken off of Weaver
and expired almost instantly. With garments
bloody, bia gashed and-lifeless form was carried
hems to bia parents. Weaver went at onoe to
Canton and gave himself np to Sheriff Gram-
ling. and last week he was tried and acquitted.

Still it cannot bo said that the visitation! of

The Herald explains its “new depsrlnre"—
that is ita persistent and vigorous opposition to
the scheme to make Grant President fora third
term—as follows:
The meaning of the Herald’s new departure,
■ it is called, is simply this : Vfe do not
choose to wait until some insincere, scheming
politicians assemble and form what they call
platforms and ask ns to take one side or another.
We do not chooie to accept issues crudely fash
ioned and hastily thrown npon nr. We do not
care to be a party to that spirit of deception
which would lead the people after unessential
questions like free trade, protection, woman’s
suffrage, prohibition—questions that are grad*
nally and surely ripening from day to day,
under the influence of education and Inquiry,
while issues of tho utmost gravity are coming
upon ns unawares. There aro onr finances to
be strengthened, nud until we do that free trade
discussion ij aa idle as the hootiDg of owls to
tbe midnight winds. There are the Southern
States to be reconstructed; not reconquered and
robbed, bnt reconstructed with generosity, man
liness and wise statesmanship. Before we
experiment on new plans of suffrage let us see
what suffrage is doing in the South and make
sure thst in saving the Union we have not added
_ onr States a new Poland or a new Ireland.
Above All, more monicing and burdened with
graver daugers, is this spirit of Cm3arism which
pervadeB our politics and threatens to destroy
tbeRepnblio itself in the nomination of Grant
for a third term.

There are serious difficulties with regard to
Baron Reuter’s concession. Reuter is a million
aud a half dollars out of pocket. Ha deposited
$250,000 as a guarantee on the eontraot, and ex
pended an equal ecm in bribes to secure the
contract. He also loaned the Shah, at 5 per
cent., one million dollars. The money will never
repaid now.
There is a curious intrigue around the Shah
mike him cancel tbo oouoesaion. The Shah
was bronght by Renter to help float hia schemes,
but other Loudon financiers appeared and have
told tbe Shah’s suite fbat the concession was
worth more than Renter was paying. Mirzi
Nasaan AU Khan, Minister of Fablio Works, is
against him. Reuter would Dke to sell the con
cession, but in the face of snch difficnltles it is
doubtful if it has any value.

the male, who wags his tail to the name of Wal

house. A very large and ferocious mastiff pos
sessed prior dog privilege* there. Instead of
receiving hia visitor with becoming hospitality,
he assaulted him savagely, and in a few minutes
injured him so badly that he was carried home
in a cart. The mutiff's teeth had inflieted a
bad wound in Walter’s chest, almost perforat

to human surgery, bnt tried a remedy taught
him by inatict. In tha moist earth on the bor

going straight to where the mastiff lived, with

From the Wrecked City of Wasblncton.
Halifax, July 14.—The steamer H. A. Starr
arrived here from Port Lebear yesterday after
noon with the captain, officers, orew of the
steamer City of Waahington, and 140 steerage
passengers who had been left behind on Thurs
day. The latter ware immediately transferred
to the steamer Somersett and sailed for Boston.
CapL Phillipe and officers and some of the
crew will remain to give teetimony at an official
investigation. Tbe remainder go to England
in the Kos tori an to-morrow. Official inquiry
commenced at 9 o’clock thia morning. There
ia nothing new to report from the wreck. It
lies in the same position. Oapt. Sheridan and
divers and Mr. Kerr, of the custom department,
remain in charge.
Tbe sweeping charge made by CoL Parnell,
ntm of the eebin passengers, against the cap
tain, offioer* nut orew, spooring them of mis
management and inocm potency both before and
after the disaster, caused no little astonishment
here, inasmuch aa he had signed a testimonial
to the opposite to what he published.
Captain. J. P. Hammond, also a cabin pas
senger, pronounces the statement of Parnell
devoid of truth. Cipt. Hammond says there
was thorough discipline; good watch kept dar
ing the entire voyage; ie competent to speak as
he never left the deck any night before
12 or 1 o’clock. There were always two offi
cers on the bridge at d two men on the lookout,
Tbe disaster was due altogether to deviation of
the oonpasr, as the ship’s course was a correct
one. The statement of Col. Parnell that there
was a lack of discipline, cursing, swearing aud
confusion at the time the ship attack and after
the passengers landed. Capt. Hammond con
tradicts. The ship’s officers did all that could
tie done under the circumstances for the com
fort of pu'sengers. Provisions in abundance
were furnished all, and everybody seemed satis
fied. Capt. Hammond is a seaman of mnch ex
perience. His opinion regarding tbe disaster
is looked npon ns important.
Tlie English Parliament—'The Chnrch of
England vs. Catholicism.
London, Jaly 14.—In the Chamber of Peers
this evening Lord Oranmore read the arch
bishop's reply to the Chnrch Association show,
ing the tendency in the Church of England to
wards Catholicism, and moved that a commit
tee be appointed to consider what legislation is
needed to oheck the evil. He supported the
motion in a long speech, in the coarse of which .
he read passages from a petition of 4S5 clergy
men of the established Church asking for the
appointment of confessors, of tho restoration
of other Popish practices, which tbe reformation
abolished. He wanted to know by wbat con
sistency English clergyman holding each doc
trine retained their positions in the Church.
The Archbishop of Cantermry said the
nobio Lord bad stated tho question fairly. It
was no wonder that the popular feeling was
working npon this subject. There was good
cause for alarm. The power of the bishops
to remedy the abu es should bo increased.
Bishop of Salisbury d. dared that the posi
tious taken by L ird Oranmore were unavaila
ble, but ho thought the motion inopportune.
Tha confessional was contrary to tbo British
feeling, and that any attempt to introdnoe it
oonld only be considered wild and visionary.
The 483 clergymen who signod tho petition
constituted only two snd one-hslf per cent, of
the clerical body of tbe church.
The Archbishop of York expressed the
opinion thst whatever was d me in thia matter
should oome from the church, not from the
Legislature. He, therefore, was opposed to the
motion, but he declared he wonld make every
exertion to prevent tho prayer book from be
coming Romanized.
The motion wa9 then negatived, and their
Lordshipa rose.
In the Hon-io of Commons Lawson gave no-
tice that he should move next week that the an-
dent custom of expelling strangers from tho
galleries bo abolished, exeepc on certain rare
occasions.
Mitchell Henry, member from Galway county,
gave notice of an early motion look.n- to the
publication of faitbfni and impartial official re
ports of the proceedings of the House. He
complained that the reports as at present made
weie partisan in character and intensely hostile
to the Catholic religion.
