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.

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.

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.

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.

Death ol one of the High Priests of Abolition. 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.

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 Western cities ia not the only iflEction that has been visited upon the people of that section.

C. McCaxtt, bookkeeper of the Chionlcle end Sentinel office at Augusta, was one of the very few men in this State wbo mide anything ont of the Louisville lottery. He held ticket 82,107, which drew $300. Somebdy Savannah drew $1000. A risz at theMontour mills, near Sparta, last Tuesday, caused a loss of $1400, which was, however, entirely covered by inauranoe. 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.

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.

He is greatly pleased with the brilliancy of his enter tainment, bnt he has no conception of tke *e- rioni side of anything he has seen. He is like child at a fair. biuteb’s miifouttnei. It i3 said that Basee Peres, the foreign min ister, is in disgrace, and will probably be dis missed and executed on his return to Teheran. 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. Reason nr Dogs—Bos. S. L. M. Babdow’s Dees Hocsds.—The Hon. S. L. M. Barlow owns a pair of thoroughbred Sootoh .deer hounds, male and femsle. Their sinewy limbs, deep chests, slim muzzles, intelligent faces, and kindly disposition make them ornamental addi tions to a gentleman’s country seat, and assert thsir cl si m to lineal descent from the stag hound that lives In poeoy as th* companion of Sir Walter Scott. Being dcgi of good education as well as bine blood, they seldom leave their mas ter’s residenoe, and treat less favored quadru peds with lofty contempt About a week ago the male, who wags his tail to the name of Wal ter, followed the farm cart to a neighbor’s 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 ing it from ride to side. He refused to submit to human surgery, bnt tried a remedy taught him by inatict. In tha moist earth on the bor der of a fish pond he dug a hols that jnat fitted hia breast He chose a shady plaoe for his hos pital, and never left it, exoept for his meals, until he was cured. Daring the tedious been of onevriesoenoe bis mate was constantly with him. After fire days he considered himself —«ii Then the pair went from the house, and going straight to where the mastiff lived, with out warning or giving him any other living show, they aet npon him. The fight was short, sharp, and decisive. Before their victim s owner ooold render assistance thay had tom the mastiff limb fraan limb. After seeing that thsir work had beea well dona, they tarried and jogged boot*. I-oee ef Ibe City of Washing!on. New Xoax, Jnly 14.—Captain A.

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. MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES. Antl-rronopoly Convf-lltlou.
