The Conscience and Future Judgment
I sat alone with my conscience,
In a piace where time had ceased,
And we talkt-d of my former living
a I ” t, ‘ e . land where the years increased,
And I felt I should Lave to answer
The question it put to me.
And to face the answer and question
Throughout an eternity.
The ghost of forgotten actions
Came floating before my sight,
And things that 1 thought were dead things
Were alive with a terrible might.
And the vision of all iny pant life
Was an awful thing to face—
Along with my conscience sitting
In that solemnly silent place.
And I thought of a far away warning,
Of a sorrow that was to be mine,
In m land that then was the future,
Bat now is the present time.
And I thought of my fortuei thinking
Of the judgment day to be,
But sitting alone witn my conscience
Seemed judgment enough for me.
And I wondered if there was a future
To this land beyond the grave ;
But no one gave me au answer,
And uo one came to save.
Then I lelt that the future was present,
And the present would never go by.
For it was but the thought of my past life,
Grown into eternity.
Then 1 awoke from my timely dreaming,
And he vision passed away,
And I knew the far-away wan iug t
In thus land before tlie grave,
That I may not cry in the future,
And no one come to save.
And so 1 have learnt a lesson
Which I ought to have known before,
And which, though I learnt it dreaming,
I hope to forget no more
So I siL alone wan my conscience
In the place where the years increase,
And I try to remember the futu’o
In the land where Time will cease,
And I know of the future judgment,
How dreadful soe’r it be.
That to sit alone with my conscience
Will be judgment enough for me.

For the Federal Union.
Montgomery, Ala., October28,1871.
Editors Federal Union: This is a real live place,
and notwithstanding the decline of cotton, wears a
brisk business appearance. To day (Saturday) the
streets are quite full, and the Fifteen! h Amendments
are out. in force.
Montgomery has a population of 12,010, and bids
lair to rank high as a commercial city. Some of onr
Georgia cities will have to look well after their laurels.
Alabama's cotton crop, as far as your correspondent
has been able to see and learn is mighty sorry—worse
than the crop of 1867—in tact it is as disastrous a
fizzle as the New Departure will turn out in the judg
ment of our great political prophet, A. II. Stephens.
I don't think where I have seen, that there is mote
Ilian one-sixth of the cotton crop left in the fields to be
picked out—no stand, no size, no boils, and planters
head and ears under drafts, acceptances, Ac.
This State is alive on the railroad sensation, arid ii -
duigeg in great expectations, especially in connection
wi ll the North and South Railroad from Montgomery
to Decatur.
Your correspondent is assured by competent author
ity that neither Mr. Wadley, or the Central Railroad
has any intere-t whatsoever in that road On the
contrary, it is stated that Wadley fought it Bvl this
North and South Road is said to be an especial pet of
ihe Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company.
It is to be hoped that our people realiz . the impor
tance of the Atlanta and Savannah Railroad, for that
is destined to he the most impoitant line in our State,
and friends Humber uud Capers deserve the people’s
best wishes for the interest and energy they have
shown as regards that great enterprise.
If Georgia acts well her part the has a right to ex
pectmuch from her commercial future, but in this age !
of tuterpiise and progress it will not do for her peo- (
pie to slumber, else they will find a rival nearer borne
than they imagine. On West.
Grant was forced to say to his m;m. “ Too ba
John, don’t put those things with the rest."
At last order was restored, and Mayor Dale gave
his hand to the President, who mechanically tri d
to put it into his pocket, and looked grieved and
hurt when he found it was attached to the Mayor’s
person iben they entered a baiouclic, the Mayor,
the Geueral, Air Jewett, and L' r Lisgar Go
erimr General of Canada. Then follow cd the two
cabinets, and the cortege drove off amid the wild
est excitement, everybody of course wanting to
’’ see him. Bat tiie homeless poor who had nnth-
mg to give sat wailing ou the curbstones. The
parly went to the Bangor House, where Ulysses
diessed for dinner, which he was to take at the
house of the Hon. Hannibal Hamlin. As be
was dressing be looked piaiuliveiy at John and
said :
‘‘Ah, John, these drawers are so full of holes :
dear me, dear me.’’
" Never mind,” sai ’ his trusty man. “ here’s a
new pair of nice lambswoul drawers, just scut in
by Draper & Co.”
1 lie President’s face brightened as he softly
murmurod “ Ah, how kind they are to me.” And
then he tried to draw them on, but alas ! they
were too small, and he had to say, with a deep
sigh :
“ Put them among the rest, John—the old ones
are good enough for me. May be they’ll fit little
Ulysses. Ai d so he bad to wear his old ragged
things, but yet determined to make South Caroli
na pay dear for such a mishap.
; afion of‘joy .’for there the President was to dine
with Senator Hamlin. When the party sat down
at the table Grant looked wearily around. Not
a decanter of brandy, wine, whiskey or a bowl of
cramhnmbnti was there, for it w as in Maine.
“ May I help you to some nice corned beef?”
said the host.
“ No,” said the General, “ my appetite is any
thing but good. Give me a little of that cold
shoulder of mutton.” This he scarcely touched,
and when after dinner speeches were made, he
quaffed bumpers of water to everybody's health so
fi< rcely that be upset his own. Soon he drove
back 'O his hotel, took off his coat, and—so great
is the power of habit—told John to ‘‘hang it

He JDidu’l Get There.
Bangor, Me., Oct. 19—At about 6:30 o’clock
last I nesday afternoon President Grant reached
run over a too ambitious cow* wfeicli stoo& oh The
bridge at Prc6umpscot endeaving to obstruct tbe
Early next morning a deputation of citizens
came to the Bangor House and shook the Presi
dent like chills and fever. It was too bad of them,
for Mr. Grout has long been afflicted witti a pecul
iar disease—an *' itching palm,” the doctors call
it—w hich makes him experience the most poign
ant agouy whenever his hand is touched save by
those who apply a shin plaster—a strange niisno
uier !—to the corrupt meuibe . Then many bodies
of soldiers paraded him about the streets, and at
last halted at Noromberga Hall, having passed
long lines of howling school children and other
humble people on their way. Grant rejoiced when
he saw on a platform four beautiful young ladies,
richly caparisoned, and cunningly contrived to
make you think of Justice, Liberty, Arnetica. and
England. Justice held a sword, seeing which
Gran:, diu not even wince, and America was robed
in e: ; ou which a heavy duty had been paid. It I
was all very touching.
At the hall there was a dinner of pastry and that
everh: ting cold meat, which came near making
the President sick on the evening previous. Not a
bottie was to be seen. Imagine the poor man’s
feeling. For an instant he had a notion that he
would send Piegan t>heridan all over South Cam
olina and leave the Chicagoans to take care of
themselves. About a tboasand people sat at :i eat,
and all were hungry but poor Grant, who is never
hungry excet t wtitn he isn’t thirsty, aud now he
was dry and arid as Sahara’s sands. Was there
no help f He poured some red vinegar into a gob
let of water and tried to make himself think it was
claret, but his app-tite was ruined ; then every
body went to work making speeches, ai d even
Senator Hamlin attuned his vocal chords. But
Grant emitted only his curtomaJy thanks, and re
turned home to his cheerless lodgiugs, waiti”g
and longing for the morrow which would take
hi in to Vanceboro. He hated Bangor, and said to
John :
“ What a thing it is to be President up here. I
couldn t kiss that little angel: Crtswell spoiled j
all my presents; that hat has gone to the old i
scratch ; my drawers are worn out and the others j
won’t fit,and I haven’t had aeqnare tod since i ve j

since boyhood, and turning to Secretary Robeson,
asked in the purest Italiau what was the Gret k
for a runaway calf—” one of them fellahs with
thick legs and busby tails that run s • like li ht-
uing”—and insisted ou having his answer in Lat
in or Arabic, be didn’t care which Robeson turn
ed to Gen. Belknap, who suggested “ Grantos” in
an undertone, but Robeson wouldn’t tell Grant,
and thus early in his progress the President w as
disappointed—he received nothing—nut bven a j
reply.
At Kendall’s mills the General saw a bevy of
pretty girls wai’ing at the station. His eyes j
brightened, he threw away his cigar, and rushed
like mad to the door of his car, and then stood on :
the platform. Lizzie Merrill, one of the sweetest j
girls in the world, made a dive for his ruby lips, j
and be was just about to imprint a passionate kiss I
on her mouth, when “jerk” went the train, the j
couplings clashed, and away went the Presidential j
car, just a happiness was within the Presi ential
grasp.- He didn’i get a taste of Lizzie’s bps. and |
returned to his seat a disappointed man, express
ing his determination to put three more counties
in South Carolina under martial law.
“ And se: ve’em right,” said General Porter, j
“If these Northerueis won’t give us what we want, !
why, take it out of the Southerners.”
When the train reached Portland the General
stuck bis head out of the window and saw an old
gaffer shaking his head and looking sadly at the j
ground.
“ Pshaw,” said the General, “ they can’t have j
anything worth getting here; drive ou.”
Entering Skuwhegan the cars passed a hatter’s
shop The G' neral quickly r moved his hat and i
ostentatiously brushed it; his motive was rapidly 1
divined, and o t tan the hatter with a brad new
article which he handed up to the great man.
“ Thank you,” said Grant ; “ John, put it with
the rest ”

The time of ripening of the bunch grape is from
the 10th of July to the la^t of August, aud of the
Scuppernong from the 1st of September until trost
Now tbe admirers of the Scuppernong will see
that ill y can have the benefit of some other varie
ties in full before the Scuppernong comes in, to
say nothing about the superior quality for wine
aud table Use.
For the benefit of your readers, I will give the
result o; experience with several varieties which
we have fruited in our vineyard :
Concord.—Perfectly healthy, vigorous grower ;
no sign of rot; ripe 2-'>th July: very productive.
Ciiuton —Showed no sign of disease ; will make
splendid wine.
Creveling.—Tliia is also free from disease, aud
of excellent quality.
Merrimac .—A vigorous grower ; healthy.
Salem.—This showed a little sign of mildew,
but not rot.
I >i ana.— fT ealthy.
Keuka.—This is perfectly healthy ; fruit mag
nificent in appearance and flavor. I think it one
of the most reliable and desirable varieties we
have in cultivation for table and for market.
Hartford Prolific.—Perfectly healthy; remarka
b!e for its earliness.
Mary Ann .—Perfectly healthy, but too foxy fur
our taste ; should be discarded where better varie
ties can bo planted.
Ives’ Seedling —A healthy and reliable grape.
Iona.—Iona also mildewed and fruit rutted ;
poor grower ; I do not think it will succeed wiih
us.
Maxatawney.—A white grape, from superior
quality ; perfectly healthy.
Weeliawken — Paifectly free from disease ; fruit
excellent; will make, no doubt, a superior white
wine.
Gdetlie.—'This is the most reliable of Rogers'
Hybrids, and will, no doubt, make a splendid
white wine ; perfectly healthy.
We have some other varieties in cultivation,
which we have not fruited yet—some ot them
very promising. iil some others of our Southern

Gov. Bullock’s alleged Reasons
for Resigning.
Ex. Dep’t State of Georgia,
Atlanta, Ga., Oct., 23, 1S7I.
To my Political Friends and the People
of Georgia:
I have this day received informa
tion, the truth of which 1 cannot
doubt, that the political conspirators
who seek the overthrow, not only of
the reconstructed government of Geor
gia, but of the United States, have se
cured the pledges of a sufficient num
ber of the incoming members of the
Lower House of the General Assem
bly to vote without previous investi
gation for Articles of Impeachment
against me immediately after they
have assembled and organized on
Wednesday, the first day of November
next ; and that having adopted such
articles in the House a sufficient num
ber of Republican Senators will be
unseated to ensure conviction upon
the articles so presented. I also learn
that the Judge of the Supreme Court,
who is personally and politically bit
terly hostile to me, has informed his
friends that this programme has been
perfected, and that he has been selec
ted to preside over the Senate during
the trial ; and that the Senator repre
senting Gen. Toombs’ district is to be
electeil President of the Senate and
immediately announce himself as, and
claim to be, Governor during the pen
ding impeachment and thereafter for
the balance of my unexpired terqi.
Upon this state of tacts I have deci
ded to resign the office of Governor,
to take effect before the meeting and
qualification of the new members of
the new body, and thereby defeat this
nefarious scheme of these desperate
political conspirators.
By this course I shall protect my
political friends in the Senate Irom the
expulsion that has been foreordained
iu order to secure my impeachment,
and, at the same time, save the State
from the disasters that would be sure
to follow in the wake of success on
the part ot the unpardoned and un
repentant Rebel leaders, who, though
comparatively few in numbers, move
the masses by the irresistable pressure
of sectional bate aud social proscrip
tion.
I have maintained my official posi
tion against the assaults ol these peo
ple upon tiie course of equal rights and
Republican Government just as long
as it is possible ior me to be of service,
and new, for the purpose of again de
feating this latest onslaught of these
destroyers, I have resigned this office
into the hands of that noble aud un
swerving friend of right and justice,
the Hon. Benjamin Conley, who, un
der tiie Constitution, by reasan of be
ing President of the Senate, becomes
Governor during the unexpired part
of my term, or until a successor is elec
ted by the people. No charge has yet
been brought against him, because he
has not Heretofore been supposed to
be an obstacle in the way of the con
spirators’ success. If assaults are now
made upon him the country will un
derstand the purpose for which they
are made.
As for myself, being divested of of
ficial position, the charges of every
character which these people are sure
to make and proclaim against me can
be brought before the courts, and I
shall never shrink from any judicial
inquiry that is divested of political bi
as and prejudice. May I be pardoned
for a word of warning to the men who
fought for the Union ?
Six months ago in Georgia the mass
of the people were acquiescing in the
results of the war, aud were willing to
accept those results as being finalities,
but under the later public teaching ol
nartVfe ; tT, aid vt-ifuie r %.;«hft^n“‘iiL.a outJie
ged, and leading gentlemen, even in
the Democratic party, who dared to
speak in favor of acquiescence and
peace have been assailed and denounc
ed. and the people so intimidated that
they dare not follow the advice.
These conspirators fear, above all
else, the re-election of General Grant.
Their insidious efforts to mislead him
as to the true situation in the South
having utterly failed, they now fear
that same persistent and irresistible
maintenance of the right under civil
administration wffiich so brilliantly
marked Gen. Grant’s military advan
ces in the overthrow of the rebellion,
may defeat their revolutionary purpo
ses.
I am now fully persuaded and satis
fied that these men purpose to control
the Government, and reverse the po
litical results of the past few years by
peaceful means, if they can, or by foul
means, if they dare. Failing in this,
another attempt at separation will be
made.
If evidence of this were wanting,
we need but point to the public and
private utterances of those who were
foremost in secession and rebellion,
and now denounce and ignore the fun
damental law—the Constitution of the
United Stales.
Will the country heed and take
care, before it is too late to prevent
another war with its frightful conse
quences ?
If my action in this emergency had
been postponed until after the meet
ing of the incoming body oflegislators,
the Executive branch of our State
Government would have been absorb
ed by the conspirators in the Legisla
tive brancli, and there would have
been no check upon the wholesale re
peal and destruction of all the great
measures of reform and progress that,
we have labored so hard to establish.
The free school system would be abol
ished, the colored citizen denied every
rig.ht_guaranteed to him, and the
curried on by northern capital would
be swept away. The growing spirit
of lawlessness and proscription for
opinion’s sake is daily rendering the
property and lives ot Union men and
Republicans more and more unsafe,and
I fear tbe worst consequences if the
Executive office should be filled by one
not only in sympathy with those who
urge ou and inflame this feeline, but
who is moved and actuated by tiiem.
With no one in the Executive office to
call upon the General Government for
protection, its friends and supporters
would be handed over without mercy
to the assaults of their enemies.
For these reasons I have determined
on this step, believing that much which
has already been accomplished can be
preserved through the wise and firm
check upon revolutionary measures
that will be given by Gov. Conley in
control of the Executive branch ol
the Government, and that thereby the
good of the whole people of Georgia
will be promoted; and I shall cheer
fully give to Gov. Conley all the in
formation and assistance within my
power that he may desire.

There are now said to be no less than

has extended. Villages are offering
themselves in a body for conversion to

Incident out of
A Remarkable Religious Move
ment.—Perhaps the most remarkable
religious movement since the great
Reformation is now in progress in
Syria. It is no less than the conver
sion of the people by thousands to
Christianity. 1 be movement began
in 1868, iu a society of Mussulmen in
the vicinity of Damascus, led by one
Abdel-Karim Matar, who used to spend
days and nights praying for enlighten
ment. The movement, according to
the account given in the London Tab
let, a Roman Catholic paper, began in
a miraculous manner. For a long
time the members of the society were
tortured by a conviction that the reli
gion they professed was erroueous, but
each supposed that he aione was tor
tured. One night about forty were
engaged in devotion, and all fell
asleep. Thon Christ appeared in a
vision to each separately w’hen they
all simultaneously awoke, and reveal
ed to each other iu their fright the
state ot their minds aud the vision
they had seen. The fear that they
might be slaughtered, if they openly
proclaimed their new-born belief, that
Christ is God, and thus be deprived of
the privilege of working in His cause,
and an admonition that a leader and
guide would be provided for them,
kept them silent. They were diviue-
ly led to the Monastery of the Terra
Santa uear Damascus, and there
found their leader in the superior
Fray Emanuel Forner. Whether the
account, of which this is but a brief
summary, has anything more than a
fragment of truth we shall not at
tempt to say. It is certain that the
forty devotees were received, and bap
tized, that there were in a very short
time two hundred and fifty converts,
and that persecutions followed, in
which many of the leaders were
While Madison street, west of Dear

lurid ILht appear in the rear windows
pt Snftftd'a hlnr.k. Prpjjcntlv a man an-
building, below which there was no
projection, but flush from the top to
the ground—four stories and a base
ment. His escape by the stairway
was apparently cut off, and he looked
despairingly down the fifty feet be
tween him and the ground. The crowd
grew almost frantic at the sight, for it
was only a choice of death before him—-
by fire or by being crushed to death*
by the fall. Senseless cries of “ Jump !
jump !” went up from the crowd—
senseless, but full of sympathy, for the
sight was absolutely agonizing. Then
for a minute or two he disappeared,
perhaps even less, hut it seemed so
long a time the supposition was that
he had fallen suffocated with smoke
and heat. But no; he appears again.
First he throws a bed, theu some bed
clothes, apparently ; why, probably
even he does net know. Again he
looks down the dead sheer wall of fifty
feet below him. He hesitates, and
well he may, as he turns again and
looks behind him. Then he mounts to
the window sill. His whole form ap
pears naked to the shirt, and his white
limbs gleam against the dark wall in
the bright light as he swings himself
below the window.
Somehow—how none can tell—he
drops and catches upon the top of the
windows below him, of the third story.
He stoops and drops again, arid seizes
the frame with his hands, and his
gleaming body once more straightens
and hangs prone downward, and then
drops instantly and accurately upon
the window-sill of the third story. A
shout, more of joy than applause, goes
up from the breathless crowd, and
those who had turned away their heads,
not bearing to look upon him as he
seemed about to drop to sudden and
to certain death, glanced up at him
once more, with a ray of hope, at this
daring and skillful feat. Into this win
dow he crept to look, probably for a
stairway, but appeared again present
ly, for here was the only avenue of es-

ing by his hands.
Tiie crowd screamed, and waved to
him to swing himself over the projec
tion from which the other man had
just been rescued. He tried to do this
and vibrated like a pendulum from side
to side, but could not reach far enough
to throw himself upon its roof. Then
he hung by one hand and looked down ;
raising the other hand, he took afresh
hold, and swung from side to side
again to reach the roof. Iu vain ;
again he hung motionless by one hand,
and sit wly turned his head over his
shoulder and gazed into the abyss be
low him. Theu gathering himself up,
he let go his hold, and for a second a
gleam of white shot down full forty
feet, to the foundation of the basement.
Of course it killed him.
A Japanese Bed.—A traveler in
the East gives the following amusing
description of the sleeping accommo-
datio is of the Japanese : A mattrass
in the form of a very thick quilt, about
seven feet long auJ four wide, was
spread on the floor, and over it was
laid an ample robe, very long and
heavily padded, and provided with
large sleeves. Having put on this
uight-dtess the sleeper covers himself
with another quilt, and sleeps, i.e., “if
he has had same years’ practice,” in
use ot tiiis bed. But the most re
markable feature about a Japanese
bed is the pillow. This is a wooden
box about four inches high, eight inch
es long, and two inches wide at the
top. It has a cushion of folded papers
on the upper side to rest the ueck on,
for the elaborate manner of dressing
the hair does not permit the Japanese,
especially the women, to press the
head on the pillow* Every morning
the uppermost paper is taken off from
the cushion, exposing a clean surface,
without the expense of washing a pil
lowcase. I passed a greater part of
the night in learning how to poise my
head in this novel manner ; and when
I finally closed my eyes, it was to
dream that I was being slowly behead
ed, and to awake at the crisis to find
the pillow bottom-side up, and my
neck resting on the sharp lower edge
of the box. During my stay in the
country, I learned many of its cus
toms, mastering tbe use of the chop
sticks and accustoming my palate to
raw fresh fish, but the attempt to bal
ance my head on a two-inch pillow, I
gave up in despair, after trying in
vain to secure the box aud tying it to
my neck and head.

rich, who pities his companions in

him that is still poorer, is, in the
realms ot humanity, a king of kings.
