DAILY NEW ERA.. J W PHILLIPS. J- 8. FIIATHSB PHILLIPS & PRATHER, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. ATLANTA, GEORGIA. Sunday Morning, Sept. 3, 18G5. TJSNSVOM-KNOCH ARDKN. “The age of true poetry is not yet dead,” is a remark that has become so general when ever a poem of more than ordinary merit appears, that it seems to be stereotyped upon the brains of writers. No one who conde scends to read the poets, who are so unfortu nate as to live and write in our late day, can with an unbiased mind, say that the “divine afflatus” is not still extant. We need not look beyond onr own country for confirmation of this fact. We have souls now among us which are near akin to “ grand old masters”—those Whose dt« am so 't-’Up-” li« g-r Tbrouga the «o rtdors of tuno.” The author of “ Thanatopis” struck a key in human sympathies that will echo so long as there is a heart left to palpitate in unison to its sentiment; and we will have to go very high up Parnassus to find a production that excels "Evangeline;” while, again,the author of "Maud Muller,” in bis straight-breasted coat and broadsbrimmod bat, while he may not be a Byron, is infinitely superior in the pure morality of his sentiment, if notin exquisite mechanical execution. lu fact, our country is vibrating with a pulse of song which would flow proudly through the veins of a people < f any nationality. We are not of the number of those who bold that a poem cannot shine save in “the light of other days.” Old poems are often like old people, wonderful as much ou account of their age as for any intrinsic merit; though we acknowlede that there must be some merit in a poem that will carry it down through the changes of opinion inciv dent to a half dozen centuries. Oi Mr. Tennyson, as an author, the world knows perhaps as much as we do, though we doubt if the world has come to the same con clusion in regard to his standing as a poet. We do not think a nobler poet than be has ever lived. This may sound harsh to those who have worried through a dusty Illiad which has stood upon the library shelf for years untouched ; bat with all due deference to those who may have an opinion on the subject we assert it nevertheless. We doubt if any poet has ever been more soundly berated, more unjustly, if not spite fully, criticised, or more ludicrously parodied than he. But in spite of all bis most insignifi cant production lives and will live down the breath of criticism ; and the time is coming when he will take rank second to none, and the world will bind around his grave-stone the bays it refuses his brow while living. Bis great sin no doubt lies in hie not following the old beaten path that poets have sung over since the days of Homer. For this we prize him. He has thrown the garb of true inspiration around per sons in the humblest wa ks of life, and has made them utter sentiments which will live when the rocks have grown gray with age. He has made the insignificant “Brook” babble a er>eir that charms the least sensitive mind. During the past year the critical world has been thrown into a frenzy by the Laureate’s latest poem of any considerable dimensions— " Enoch Arden.” The unfortunate state of our country prevented its falling into our bands until during the past week ; hence we may be excused for noticing it at this late day. The poem has been praised, ridiculed and abused according to the pleasure of partial or impartial critics ; but the abuse it has receiv ed exceeds the praise. We confess that we opened the book with some trepidation, fear ing that our favorite author bad fallen below the standard he has long ago erectejl for him self. But after a perusal of the poem we are ready to pronounce it fully worthy of the auth or of "Maude” and “In Memoriam.” It is a simple tale of the love and life struggle of an humble fisherman. We doubt if any author save Tennyson would have dared to go so low in the scale of society for a theme for his lyre. But he has clothed bis impersonations with a beautiful, but not unnatural garb, embodying in them some cf the brightest virtues of hu man nature, which may adorn the peasant in bis hovel as well as the king on his throne. lu Enoch Arden we have a true picture of nobility, an example of the very highest prin ciple of disinterested action, and the charac ter is one that may be studied. Annie Lee is simply a true woman faithfully limned.— •• e think none of the characters are over drawn. Though they glow with the noble sentiments with which the author endows them, the .sentiments are such as may be found in the walks of real life—they exist in the hind as well as among the higher grades of society In the mechanical execution the poem is Strictly Tennysonian— smooth and graceful as the babble of a quiet brook, and limpid as the pure crystal stream that gushes from ns rocky den. There is nothing in it that jars on the sensitive ear, nothing superfuous and nothing needeu to add to its perfection. We would like to extract some of the more beautiful passages of the poem, but we have room for only the opening paragraph, which as a novel description of scenery is not easily excelled. We close this article with the ex tract. ‘ I/'Dg lines Os cliff breaking have lo't a chasm ; A *d in tbeebamo arc foam and yellow eatu e; B yond, red roofs about v narrow wharf la. luster; then a moulder’d elm ch; and higher a long street climbs to one tall.towered mill; Ai d high in ha.run beta nd II u gray down " tin Danish harrow.; and a sou Iwood, Uy autumn nutters haunted, llourtalme <<r.ea in a c. p like tfolow of the down.” —— - ~ . . BFS.Thc Columbus Sun has been revived by Thus. Gilbert & Co. The first number has reached us on a neat, full-sized, well filled Sheet. Among tbo many cases that was before the criminal court in New York on the 21st was one in which two Irish womon had fought for iho possession of a negro husband. Both fought under the "Shamrock” for the “black flag.” The society, “The Disciples of Deran ge celebrated the anniversary of that famed poet, by a soiree, on last Saturday at the Alo c anics Institute in New Orleans. The Columbus iron works have been revived. LITERARY. A correspondent of one of our literary papers writing from Paris says it appears that we shall not see Prince de Talleyrand’s M moirs until 1838. As ho died in 1863 and ordered their publication thirty years after bis death, they ought to have beeu published in 1863. But he bequeathed them to Dutcbe«s de Dino.(by birth a de Talleyrand.) und she, upon her death, be queathed them to her uncle's private secretary, M de Racourd. She died receatly at N mey, and bequeathed them to Messrs. Paul Audral and Chatelain, ordering them not to publish the papers for twenty years to come. The pa pers fill three enorm, us boxes, and consist of three parts : The Mem >irs proper, the appen dix, and an immense correspondence. They have all been sent to England for safe keeping. It speaks volumes for the insecurity of person and property in France, that all the important papers of Messrs. Gu z it, Theirs, De Monta lembert und Berryer are kept in England. There is ano'her king to be added to the list royal and noble authors. The King of Sweed en has published a volume ol poems ; on the title page is a vignette represeniiug the cipher of tuat soveieign rurri u ided with flowers and with this legend—Lillie Poems. Mme. George Saud has tomffienced a new nov<l in the Revue des Deux Mondei. It as yet bnt irritates the curiosity of the reader.— Her friends are exerting themselves strenously to g-t the decoration ot the Legion ot Honor for her. They say, not without reason, she ought to have have had it before Mlle. Rosa Boubeur. The French E nperor has received one hun dred and twenty eight thousand tour hundred dollars for the copy right of the fib st volume of hi, “Lite ol C®.» r. ’ Ho has r<si v d eight t oi« baud dollars tor his share, and given one hun dred and twenty thousand four buudred dol lars away to bis dff rent co laborers. When be beard what mouey be hid earned, he ex cl limed : “Really 1 see one may m ike a hvii g by his pea in France.” Macaulay received only five thousand dol lars for bis history. It is suggested that Dickens intends to come again to this countiy. It be is disposed to come in the right spirit, we can say as Charles Lamb did on a similar occasion : May bis passage be as pleasant us the best among bis works. Thu Parisian press announce that ex-Presi dent Buchanan is to publish a history ot the American war, -hich will simultaneously ap pear in Paris, L ndon, and New York. The first sheets ot the second volume of the French Emperor’s Life of Caesar have been sent to the printer. SCIICNTIUC. A curious calculation has been made lately by a savant well known in Paris by his peculiar antipathy to the fly. He collected 3,000 fl es in a room, and on the floor be spread a ptiiver z"d loaf of sugar. Al the end of four days he went to inves igate the result of his experi ment. There remained a table spooniul of sugar. This statistic an, therefore, calculates tba', sugar being at the rate of thirteen cents a pound, a fly costs the country twenty cents from its birth to its demise. But he has failed to show that all the flies in the country are fed on loaf sugar. M. Carlevaris, a French chemist, has invented a .new light, in the production of which he sub stitutes magnesia for lime in the oxy-hydrogen flame. His method has one advantage over ob taining the fl me directly from the metal, being free from the inconvenience due to a large part of the magnesia produced by the combustion of magnetism being thrown off in the form of a fine powder which soon pervades the atmos phere of a room. On the other hand, the new method involves the use of very bulky con comitants, which is not the case with the old method. Another trial of the system of atmospheric pressure fsr the propulsion of railway trains is to be made in a tunnel from Waterloo Station, London, under the Thames, to Charing Cross.— In this case the propulsion, as in the Crystal Palace tube, will be (Amply due to the pressure of the air behind the train. The death is announced from Florence of Professor Piria, whose name as a chemist and as a man of varied talent was well kuown throughout Europe. The French Government has ordered M'lle Rosa Baniieur to paint Gladiateur’s portrait. DRAMATIC. Miss Ella Wrenn has applied for the lease of a Theatre in this city for the coming fall and winter season. She is a fine actress. The Mobile Theatre opens on the 2d Octo ber, with Matilda Herron as the “Star.” “Arrah na Pogue,” a fine Irish play, is still on the boards in New Yoak, and has been most of the summer. WHO AUK ELIGIBLE}. A correspondent, writing from Albany, says the Macon Telegraph, asks the practical ques tions, "Who are qualified to become members of the State Convention ?” There should, we think, be no doubt, or dif ference of opinion, on this point Tim organ ic law under which the election is to be held, and the Convention will assemble, is the pro clamation of Gov. Johnson. That document provides that "no person at such election (to be held on the first Wednesday of October,) shall be qualified as an elector, or shall be eli gible as a member of such convention, unless bo shall have previously thereto taken and sub scribed the oath of amnesty as set forth in the President's Proclamation,’ etc. This, of course, will exclude all that come within the excep tions of the proclamation, who have not been pardoned. We recently heard a good joke says the Montgomery Advertiser, on a gentleman from Northern parts who not being posted on Southern agricultural matters, was taken by a planter to his home in the country and in.tn ted into some of tbo mysteries of plantation l.fe. Among other curious things the planter told him, that in one field be bad a plow running’ without the aid of either man or horse and of course the stranger could not think of leaving without witnessing so wonderful a sight. Al though it was in the middle of a hot August day the planter, foot back, started with him to see so strange a performance, and after go ing about two miles, his curiosity was grati fied by beholding a female darkey driving leisurely along a very lazy mule. He asked no questions for a wonder, but expressed him self eminently sold out. The Viceroy of Egypt, i. pledging his private properly to obtain money in London. TO THIS BUSINESS PUBLIC. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 2d, 18G5. Sometimes,"in the courseofhumanevents,” a vicious lapsus fortunes tumbles a fellow into the dust of poverty, and leaves him “centless and dead” (almost) The memory of com forts lost hangs upon his path like a spectre of despair, and drives summit of some lovely fence-poll where, like Patience, he aits upon ument, and grins horribly a ghastly smile at. grief. He lovks bad and feels ditto mors samer. His clothes refuse to fit, his joints become loose—hunger glnreSTrom bis sunken eyes, and bangs out his sign board upon his hollow cheek. Poor fellow I be "feels like one who treads alone,” and goes about like a pet booger, “seeking whom he may devour some body.” Desperate predicament 1 Would you not open your hearts and pity such an un fortunate ? Yes, “dat” you would—pat him on the back and say, “Poor dog ! poor doo 11 PoonDOGlI! (let me bellow the dog into your auriculars like the “eternal thunder’s” peal over the “deep”). But “poor dog” fall ing from the fat labials of n sympathizer will not make the heart laugh, the body grow fat, or the red t money jingle in the poor man’s purse. (That word “jingle”—oh I what de licious conceptions it conjures up! Is n’t it sweet, sweeter, sweetest, amoug ten thousand, and altogether sweet? Its exquisite melody is far more mellifluous than the beautiful har mony which a “purty gal” gives us when she goes to the piano, and grabbles the ivory, and screeches awfully. Butl digress.) As afore said, “poor dog” will not feed the hungry— we like tears, but they are bitter. What, then, must be done for the poor man? I guess you will lose your sun-pathos (sympathy) when this is asked, and become literary—tell him, in the language of Mr. Lougtellow, “to be up and doing”—“to labor and to wait”— to dig, and, though penury may pinch, he shall be enabled to exclaim, as did Mr. Daniel Webster, “I still live.” This is good advice, and you would be sensible for giving it. But if a poor fellow tries, and fails to get employ ment, what then ? This brings me to the condition of my friend. "Hear me for my cause, and be silent that you may hear.” The vicissitudes of outrageous fortune have iwisted him into a "bad fix”—his little all has been wrested from him, and he is left, broken in heart, blasted in hope, and bankrupt in purse (raise your 'kerchiefs to your eyes to couceal yuur feigned tears). " Bah I ” say you! Do n’t that "bah” hurts.— Alter grieving over bis misfortune until he learned that grief “would not pay,” he bestirr ed him-elt to act upon Mr. Longfs.low’s sug geston “to be up and doing.” Accordingly he has been asking, begging obtesting, and sup plicating for a situation. The augel of indus try has troubled the waters, but no one has of fered to help this sick one in. He is still ‘ non comeatibus in swamp”—no work to do, •nd his old leather pocket-book still empty.— Where hs lives, nobody wants nobody—and he has, therefore, turned his face towards this land ot promise - has come to this Gate City—the home of bis boyhood, where rich j >ys gladden ed his youth, and buoyant hopes made his man hood bright, and whither numerous fools have proceeded him on a like errand—to ask some of the money-making men to give him some thing to do, and to pay him to do it.. Now be gin with one accord to make excuse. Tell him that you are making so little that you cannot afford to pay him anything—that your business is so small that you do not need help— tbat that—what? Now don’t put.on along, lean, icy face and freeze his very heart. Don’t drop your paper when you fi id that a beggar is “on the tapis.” Dont tell him that you are poor (he sees the good clothes that cover your backs.) — Don’t tell him that be is inexperienced, and will not suit you. In a word, don’t murder him with a ’cold shoulder” blade. Atlanta is look ing up. He sees gold, silver, and “green backs ’ afloat in your midst—you handle it, weigh it, and sink it in your deep pockets.— He (poor critter) looks on wißblullVj.hja ‘mouth waters” for it—but be must “haudi^cfl”—else be fetched up before ‘ His Hoiwgg Or wo tiry, lor born.wimj,who. does) not belong to him, without the knowledge or consent of the owner. Take twtninfflfe' waif into your hearts und houses—give him work, and pay him for it. Open your hearts, and let a lay ot fellow., feeling gleam from your metalic countenances. He walks in your midst—looks at you, and it hulls him. He sees on your laces a hard, keen, grabbing-gold look that makes him put his hands in his p ickets to see if you be not con juring a five cent piece from its depths. But he finds "nary red” there, and his grief returns. Look up, and see how Heaven gives you the golden sunlight -and learn therefrom to drop your bright gold into a poor palm tor services rendered. Most of you need help—don’t be too stingy to buy it. The m (reliant needs an accompl.shed young man behind his counter— my friend is your man. He cm make “single entry” think itself “double”—tear down your Cilico shelves—throw your crockery in the floor, and fl ng puts and kettles around with a terrible vim. Besides this, he knows bow to treat customers—Can ta.k “old Fogyism” to the jeuns clothes gentry— politics and the news to English education, polite would-be some bodys science to the scientific the excellency ot steady moral character, and business habits to cautious mothers—and fashion,and other non sense to the young ladies. In other branches of business he is • x .eriencedly skilled as above. In addition to these qualifications, he is a ‘jewel of a fellow” as tin accomplish' d, con ceited scholar; He has ekatilophisticated over the equanimity of Geography quar relled over the Plutonic and Neptunian the ories with the Geologist stood upon the threshliold of Mineralogy—dipped his wings in the pure waters of Theology—gathered into the garner-house of memory tbe-wheat strewn over the field of History—lost himself in the labyrinth of the metaphysical Philosophy of the Mind- off with sore shins for dis cussing Abe Philosophy of the Heart with the girls lifs'wandered to the moon with the Astronornist, and shook bands with the man theie —has read the “Tale of a Tub," “Robin son Crusoe,” and “Jack, the Giant-Killer.” In one or two respects he may differ some what from the great Napoleon. Napoleon was “grand, gloomy, and peculiar;” and at upon his throne, wrapt in the solitude of his own originality ” My friend is "gloomy and peculiar;” but not so much of the “grand”— and be sits upon atbree-legged stool, wrapt in the solitude of a log but—Genius in distreis .‘Help, Cassius, or I sink.” You ought to do so. The Father has given to Ilia material existence its work; and philosophers toll us that the ce 'estiulbodies (motherearthincluded), in runs ning their courses, evolve a grand diapason of praise to the Creator. In like manner, let every one have his work ; and then, instead of cries of distress, 'he busy hum of nil , uniting will raise a lofty h rmouy, a glad song of praise and thanksgiving, sweeter than theJiniusic of the spheres,” aud acceptable to Him Who watches over us. Let all help all. Help, my friend. Mouey “makes the man, want ofltt the fellow” (Pope was wrong). Mon ami ha.* been a “fellow” a long time—let him know how a "man” feels. His glory is departed, and he is a weaiy Ichabod. He is honest and industrious—your citizens know him. Let some honest mason employ him to carry brick and mortar for him. Though a ‘‘slow coach” in bis business, the bricklayer will have the consoling reflection that his employee does his work according to the principles of exact science. Pity the miseries of a poor young man, whose impoverished purse cries to you from its emptiness. Raise the broken reed, and when lifted up, be will call you blessed. All hungry at my friends’ home, when he left. Yours, Ichabod. A Detective Dune Fob.—The Lafayette Courier thus tells how a sharp detective of that city was robbed by one of the locust swarm of scoundrels now infesting Indianapolis. The joke is on Detective Bedford. He was at Indianapolis yesterday, in pm suit of a light fingered gentleman, tnd took a room at the Spencer house. Alter t'-arhe sailed out to see what he could see. He was no sooner gone from the hotel than a well-dsessed. man anew e ingthe’discription of the manZ“acb,was after stepped up to the office, and with refreshing coolness, asked for the key of No. 89, which was Bedford’s room. The clerk suspecting nothing, handed him the key. It. was returned in half an honr. Capt. Z noh, returned to bis lodgings at 11 o’clock to Had his carpet sack cut open, and robbed of a lull s< t of clothing and other valuables. Ziacb, went for wool aad came home shorn. B©-" It appears, by a tablalar statement in the New York World, that the first three years of the war threw back the commerce of the United States just about as much as it had been advanced by the preceding ten years of peace. The last year of the war, if its results could be fairly and fully stated, would show a much greater proportionate amount of com mercial loss to the country. A son of Lira Elliot, of Lincoln, Vt., aged ten years, was ill for a year, and, al though having a ravenous appetite, grew emaciated. His physician gave him some medicine that produced nausea and be was choked by the appearance of a snake, which required all his force to draw from h s mouth* It was striped and eighteen inches in length. The lad is better. In a domestic quarrel a man in New York tried to set bis wife on fire. She was put out by the police, and tbo man was put in—the "Toombs.” The statement that all collored troops are to be mustered out of the service is untrue, and probably arose from .he fact that all ne gro troops mustered in under State organiza tions are to hejdischarged. A Standard Work ox Chess.- Mr. Morphy, who has beeu engaged f,r several years in ibe practice of his profession (tne law) in New Orleans, and who is now in ibis city on profes sional business, devotes bis leisure hours to the preparation ot a chess work which his friends here and elsewhere have oiten urged him to publish. It is a complete collection of every recorded game ot his, played both in Europe and America, with full variations, annotations, etc. The book will prubably be the standard work on the subject, and will, no doubt, su persede Lowenthal’s and Stanton’s collections the analysts of which will be carefully review ed in the forthcoming volume. New York Post. On yesterday, says the same paper of the 16th, we saw the 6th Illinois Cavalrz Regis «Lpent passing through our city en route for mopolis, Ala. General Hatch, who. com- HRnds the cavalry now being dispersed through the State, stated (from information given us) that these mounted troops would be placed at every precinit in the S'ate to aid the civil authorities in the coming election, in a faithful and fair execution of the tame. Cotton thieves may look well and wary to these troops, as General Hatch is notorious for his suspension for cotton thieving. The Cholera in Egypt. —The cholera has now (July 28) almost entirely disappeared.— In Alexandria the deaths from the disease du ring the past week, according to the daily of ficial reports, have only been ten, eight, four, two, five, four; and the mortality from all causes is no greater than t e average at this season. In Cairo tbo deaths from cholera each day have been eighty, seventy-two, fifty four, thirty-eight, forty eight, thirty-five, twenty eight. A fortnight previously they were counted by hundreds. At Zagazig ond at Tanta the disease has entirely di appeared. —From the Alexandria Correspondence of the Boston Advertiser. From the Plains.—A gentleman, who has just arrived at St. Louis from Denver says be passed aud met three thousand w gons on the great thoroughfare, traveling along with out molestation. All the wagons passed, be longed to, ai d were filled with returning Montana gold hunters, who were satisfied with their trip out there No hostile Indians were on the road. They are all reported to bo north of tho North Platte river. The attention of dealers in Cotton is called to the advertisement of E. M IJruc , Morgan & Co.

A Father Taylor was giving a temperance address in Rocky"ll ill m eting-house, a cer tain drunkark was so much offended w.th bis severe but truthful remarks, that, ho rose up and began to hiss the speaker.
