8. K. JOHNSON, Sup't.
The Agency of this Company has been organized
to furnish a reliable medium by which our people
may, at the smallest outlay in cash, obtain thorough
labor of all kinds, vix: Farm Laborers, Gardeners
Shepherds, Domestics, Hostlers, Seamstresses, Rail
road Laborers, Miners, Mechanics Factory Hands,Ac.
as well as to sell lands to fortign farmers, and to sup
ply Tenants.
Our Agents are by long aud successful experience
qualified to obtain the most competent labor from Eu
rope. They are intimately acquainted with our wants
iu this respect, and, being residents of the South, ami
in every respect identified with our people, will, in the
interest of the country and its future development,
take the utmost care in filling the orders with which
they are entrusted.
Our General Foreign Agent. Co*l. Frank Schaller,
an officer’n the Confederate States Army during the
war.it fully acquainted with the characteristics ot fur
eign emigration, and l.aring lived at the South for the
last seventeen years, is no less cognizant of the labor
which will suit our people. During the years 1868
1871 he acted as the General State Agent of Immi
gration of Virginia, and was eminently successful in
laying for that State the basis for a substantial immi
gration. Col. Schuller will personally fill in Europe all
orders received by the Company.
Our General Agent at Athens, Captain H. H. Carl
ton, known throughout the South as Captain of Artil
lery in General Lee’s arruy, will be permanently loca
ted and conduct the business.>f the Agency at Athens,
acting aa receiving and disbursing agent of the Com
pany.
Our General Traveling Agent, I>r. Edwin D. New
ton, late Surgeon in General Lee’s arinv, who has for
several years been laboring so earnestly in behalf ot
the agricultural interest of the State of Georgia, wiil
personally solicit orders throughout the country, make
contracts aud g ve receipts-
I.abor of nil kinds, as mentioned above, we
order by steamer or sailing vessel. The cost per sail
ing vessel is twenty dollars less than bv steamer; this
passage-mouey advanced being gradually deducted
from the wages contracted for- Persons desiring la
borers for this or next year, will please forward their
orders at once. Small orders for immediate labor can
only be filled by steamer Due notice will be given to
all our customers when the labor ordered will leach
Savannah
The Cwntraet with the party engaged is always
made in Europe, agreeably to the terms mutually
agreed upon between agent and contraoior. The*,
contracts are made fully binding, iu the manner by ns
to be indicated. We shall, whenever desired, endeav
or to make contracts for a terra of two years.
Tenants are brought out in the same manner as
laborers, and an additional charge of ten dollars per
tenant is made, if the landholder advances the pn.-sage
money. If tenants, on the contrary, are sought win.
pay their own traveling expenses, a charge of twenty-
five dollars for each tecant is made by us, to be paid
to us with the order. It this order cannot be filled bv
u* we refund the money; if the tenant, after presen
tation, ia not accepted agreeably to the orig.nal terms
of contract, the money is forfeited to us. Ail charges
for tenant* are made irrespective of the term of tenan
cy agreed upon.
I.Anris are sold on commission; we require plat
aud survey, descriptions, abstract ot title, and explicit
terms of sale.
Nationality. While in all oases we shall endeav
or to meet the wishes of our customers in this respect,
vet the labor-market in Europe is so constantly chang
ing. and the requisite qualifications for the various
kiudsof labor, are so different, that we desire to be
left free to exercise a due discretion in our selections,
to enable us to furnish the best in the market, and thus
subserve our joint interests.
I.anguagr. Some persons, desirous of employ
ieg foreign labor, yet not wishing to engage native* of
the British Isles, see an obstacle inthe tact tha North
ern Europeans are strangers to our language. Our ex
perience leads ns to consider it an advantage rather
than otherwise. A laborer unacquainted with the
English language, will avoid from the first such asso
ciations and influences as would prove injurious to ids
icrfect contentment, but by gradually acquiring our
anguage he will have a better opportunity to appre
ciate our character and customs as a people, than one
already possessing a command of our language. Ex
perience has taught that but a few weeks are necessa
ry for these laborers to sufficiently understand our
language to perform all duties required of them.
All business of this Company will be conducted by
our Agents. They will at all times take pleusure in
furnishing such information as may be desired in regard
to terms, contracts, manner ot" delivery, etc. All
communications requiring an answer should be accom
panied witli a postage stamp.

LEAF SIT LEAF THE BUSES FALL.
BY T. B. BISHOP.
Leaf by leaf the ro—s fall,
Drop by drop the springs run dry,
One by one beyoad recall
Summer beauties fade and die ;
But the roses bloom again,
And the spring will gush anew,
In the pleasant April rain,
And the summer sun and dew.
For the Federal Union.
BOOK NOTICE.
So in the hours of deepest gloom,
When the springs of gladness fail,
And the roses inthe bloom,
Droop like maidens wan and pale,
We shall find some hope that lies
Like a silent gem apart.
Hidden far from careless eyes
In the garden of the heart.
Some sweet hope to gladness wed,
That will spring afresii and new,
When griefs winter shall have tied,
Giving place to rain aDd dew—
Some sweet hope that breathes of spring
Through the weaiy, weary time,
Budding .for its blossoming
In the spirit’s glorious dim*.

Mr. Spence was born in Appling county iD 1834, re

engaged in fanning and 8t*ck raiding. Early in 1861,
he moved to Coffee county, where he has ever since
resided. Soon after tiis removal the war broke out,
and ne volunteered inthe Confederate army, serving
with credit as Captain of Company C, Fiftieth Geor
gia Infantry, until the surrender. He )ia.\..»bvspr
been a meiii^pr //f [t/iniu'M affairs until after the war
had closed. In 1870 he was the nominee of the De
mocracy to represent Coffee county iu the Legislature,
and wa* elected by thirty majority over an indepen

but two votes iu the county. Captain Spence has
made an attentive, useful and efficient member, and
has faithfully discharged his legislative duties. Per
sonally, he is a clever, social gentleman.

Gretchen, the maiden who first awoke the pas
sion of love in Goethe’s bosom, was, far beneath
him in station. She belonged to the humble peo
ple, and was a sort of dependent in the family of
some relations. The study of life in all aspects
early led the great German to mingle with every
social grade ; and once while supping with some
very common youths, the vision of this pure young
girl met his eyes. So vivid was the impression
long years afterwards, he remembered and de
scribed the trifling peculiarities of her dress on
that occasion with loving minuteness. “The little
dtp,'’ he says, “sat so neatly upon her little head
which a slender throat united very gracefully to
her neck and shoulders Everything about her
seemed choice, and eno couid survey her whole
form the more at ease as one's attention was no
moro exclusively attracted and fettered by the qui
et, honest eyes and lovely mouth. The form of
that girl followed me from that moment on every
path : it whs the first durable impression which a
female being had made upon me ; and as I could
find no pretext to see her at home arid would not
seek one, I went to church for love of her, and had
soon traced out where she sat. Thus during the
long Protestant servic# I gazed my fill at her.—
When the congregation left the church I did not
venture to accent her, much less to accompany her.
and was perfectly delighted if she seemed to have
remarked me and to have returned my greeting
with a nod.’’ It was not long before he had aa
opportunity of approaching bis lady of delight,
and the whole st- ry as told by bis own pen is
naive, simple and sweet. A hoax, such as clown
ish young people delight in playing upon each
other, was passed upon an ardent swain whose
imniorata was cold and nnresponsive. Goethe's
PENS AND TYPES. OR HINTS AND HELPS
for those who write, print or read. By Benjamin
Drew. Boston : Lee and Shepard, Publishers.—
1872.
Afflicted Job exclaimed “O that
mine adversary would write a book!”
Had he lived in our day, he would
have been spared the exclamation.
His enemy would have written a book
already. Every one writes a book in
our day. Wherefore what is now
styled “Book Manufacture” is grown
into a most gigantic modern business.
Wherefore, again, much importance
ensues to the proper understanding be
tween the brain-working authors and
the type-setting manufacturers. The
former should furnish legible chiro
graphy—correct spelling, and punctu
ation—and should be able to make
proper corrections of errors which
may appear on the “proof-sheets,”
those first impressions made by the
types after the matter of the manu
script has been put in type.
The little work of Mr. Drew is ad
mirably adapted to the end pointed
out. It is the first work which has
appeared in print covering the whole
field. While we beg to differ with
Mr. Drew upon some of his ideas con
cerning punctuation—a field roomy
eueugh for difference of opinion—
there can be no doubt of the great
practical value of his little book. The
chapters entitled respectively “ Writ
ing/or the Press” and “ Proof Read
ing'’ present for the first time to the
public a vast amount of valuable prac
tical matter for the million of the
present day, of both sexes, and of all
ages, whose destiny it is to illustrate
the poet’s hackneyed line,
“’Tis pleasant eure to see one’s nnme in print.”
Mr. Drew’s directions are plain
and practical. He has had long
experience as a Proof-Header, and
therefore knows whereof lie writes.
Let no one attempt to write for pub
lication, not even for the daily news
paper, without studying “Pens and
Types.” In addition to a vast amount
ol other valuable matter compressed
into this small volume, it contains a
complete alphabet of the marks used
in correcting proofs. The account
given in the work of the pains taking
processes by which the proof-reader
and others engaged in the manufacture
of books, avoid errors and attain accu
racy in the handsome volumes which,
after wearying labor, come forth iuto
the world in such elegant and reada
ble shape, must prove highly instruc
tive and entertaining even to one who
never expects to write a book—if
in our scribbling land !
Blair on Grant.—George Alfred
Townsend, writes to the Chicago Tri
bune, the result of a recent interview
with Senator Blair, in course of which
the following paragraphs are given as
Blair’s opinion of Grant:
“He has an immense personality; the
awful incarnation of self. He is run
ning this Government without princi
ples, on the theory of personal success.
He must be a big man; for who ever
saw a confirmed drunkard and bor
rower raise himself up late in life, un
less he had left some strong humane
elements for capital'? His Government
is not comprehensible, not intellectual
—only personal. The American people
are in more danger to-day from a man
of this charact-r than they would be
from Aaron Burr, or a man of much
higher parto. Uuder Grant we are ap

placency and indifference as a people

Why Wa Cannot Go ta War.—Tfco Skalotaa
in tha Claaet.
The Elijah Pograms are blowing
hard just at present on the question of
a possible war with England. It
would be a most unfortunate thi g for
England, say these asses, to go to war
with America. “We could lick her so
bad,” say they, “iu three months that
she Wouldn’t know she ever was a na
tion.” While all this talk is going on
nobody seems to bestow a single
thought upou the attitude of -the South
—the Ireland, the Poland, the Hunga
ry of America. The precious set of
radical statesmen we have at Washing
ton have done this for us—they have
created in ten States of this Union a
feeling of hostility to the stars and
stripes, the type of our nationality,
that will never die while radicalism
rules* So deep-seated and bitter is
this, that if England had twenty thou
sand men to-morrow in the neighbor
hood of Charleston a hundred thousand
Southern men would rise again in in
surrection. It would have the same
effect as if France, at war with Eng
laud, landed a foregupon the shores of
Ireland. Are we quite sure that we
could lick England, with the South
pressing us at one side and the Canadi
ans at the other? Yet, patent as this
truth is, here are those Senatorial
wiseacres at Washington defeating a
qualified measure of amnesty to the
“Southern) rebels.”
Statesmanship would have long since
remedied the frightful state of affairs at
the South. Had a man like Chief Jus
tice Chase been elected iu ’68, in place
of the Military stick who now occupies
the White Honse, we should not be
compelled to express the fears to which
we have just given utterance. The
Union would now be a true Union in
place of the sham it is. Think of it foi
a moment. Here was a so-called re
bellion, which intrinsically, had as
much of right and justice in it as our
own war ol independence, and yet the
canting spirit of Radicalism goes on
foiever proclaiming about the magna
nimity shown to the Rebels, and hands
over to something worse than the gal
lows these people of the South, to be
governed by the very spawn of hell.
Is it natural they should love a Hag
that symbolizes persecution? Is it na
tural they should fight for it? Enthron
ed iu power in half a dozen Southern
States are strangers from the North,
who in no civilized country under
heaven could escape the penitentiary
or the hangman. Society there has
been violently wrenched from its nor
mal condition.
The tree has been plucked up from
the roots, andj.he _b.« , flJJQhe8..V^. -WtfaT
Ignorance, vice and infamy flourish
over virtue and intelligence. Now we
want this people to love the magnan
imous government which has consign
ed to living death the best and purest
of their kindred. The patience and
fortitude they have shown under their
humiliations make the grandest chap
ter of human self-control and stoicism
that ancient or modern history can
produce. We cannot go to war with
England while this state of things ex
ists. There is a skeleton in the closet
that reminds us of our weakness. The
whole South would rally to arms once
more if England lent her direct aid.
Where is the difference? Might they
not just as well try the terribla issue
of war as live and die under such an
infamous rule as that to which they
are at present subjected. Draw in
your horns Jonathan. When your
household is at peace it will be time
enough to think of a quarrel with
England.

This heroic kind jf trea ment is made necessary,
iu order to affect the elections in New Hampshire

given up to the Democrats unless something
can be done to stay the tide now setting against

SCU ARTILLERY.
Aa Ixpcriatu That Dida’t Pvtvi a ■«*
tax
Out in a certain Western tort, some
time ago, the major conceived the
idea that artillery might be used effec
tively in fighting with the Indians by
dispensing with gun carriages, and
fastening the cannon upon the backs
of mules. So he explained his views
to the commandant, and it was deter
mined to try the experiment. A how
itzer was selected, and strapped upon
an ambulance mule, with tha mozzle
pointing toward the tail. When they
had secured the gun, and loaded it
with ball cartridge, they led that
calm and steadfast male out on the
bluff, and set up a target in the mid
dle of the river to practice/rt. The
rear of the mule was turned towards
the target, and he was backed gently
up to the edge of the bluff. The of
ficers stood around in a semicircle,
while the major went up and inserted
a time-fuse in the touch-hole of the
howitzer. When the fuse was ready,
the major lit it and retired. In a min
ute or two the hitherto unruffled mule
heard the fizzing there on his neck,
and it made him uneasy. He reached
his head round to ascertain what was
going on, and as he did so, his body
turned, and the howitzer began to
sweep around the horizon. The mule
at last became excited, and his curios
ity grew more intense, with his four
legs iu a bunch, making six revolutions
in a minute, and the howitzer, under
stand, threatening sudden death to
every man within a half mile. The
commandant was observed to climb
suddenly up a tree; the lieutenants
were seen sliding over the bluff into
the river, os if they didn’t care at all
about the high price of uniforms; the
adjutant made good time toward the
fort, the sergeant began to throw up
breastworks with his bayonet, and the
major rolled over the ground and
groaned. In two or three minutes
there was a putfof smoke, a dull thud,
and the mule—oh ! where was he ?
A solitary jackass might have beea
seen turning successive back-somer
saults over the bluff, only to rest at
anchor, finally, with his howitzer at
the bottom of the river, while the
ball went off toward the fort, hit the
chimney in the major’s quarters, rat
tled the adobe bricks down into the
parlor, and frightened the major’s wife
into convulsions. They do not allude
to it now, and no report of the results
of the experiment was ever sent to
the War Department.
The Girl who Wins.—The time

norant of all practical knowledge to be
called refined and high-bred—when
she must know nothing of the current
political news of the day, or be called
masculine and strong minded*
It is not a sign of high birth or re
finement to be sickly and ignorant.
Those who effect anything of the kind
are belli ud the times, and must shake
up and air themselves, mentally and
physically, or drop under the firm
strides of common sense ideas, and be
crushed into utter insignificance.
In these days an active, rosy-faced girl,
with brain quick and clear, warm light
heart, temper quickly heated at intend
ed insult or injury,and just as quick to
forgive; whose feet can run as fast aa
her tongue and not put her out of
breath; who is not afraid of freckles, or
to breathe the pure air of heaven, un
restrained by the drawned curtains of
a close carriage; and, above ali, who
can speak her mind and give her opin
ion on important topics, which inter
est intelligent people, is the true girl
who will make a good woman.
This is the girl who wins in these
days. Even fops and dandies, who
strongly oppose woman’s rights, like
a woman who can talk well, even if
she is not handsome. They weary of
the most beautiful creature if she is
not smart. They say, “Aw years, she
is a beauty, and no mistake but she
won't do for me—lack of brains”—of
which commodity, it would seem, she
could have little use in her association
with him; however, topleasean empty-
headed fop, a woman must know
something.
What flhnll Wr I»e t
Thi* ever-recurring question, “ What shall wa do ’"
has yet received no satisfactory answer. Many of

ents to mitigate, if not to cure, our ill*. Some of them
t*ll you “ Corn doe* not pay ; wheat doe* not pay,”
and each will sujofost some substitute that may be
more profitable. “ Raise sheep," say* one ; “ Plant
grounu pea*,” say* a second, or “ Potatoes, ’ says a
third. “Set out an orchard," “Plant strawberries
and the smaller fruit* for market*," “ Go to trucking
Generally." “ Cultivate sinail farms and make them
rich.’ All this may bo very good advice in it* w*y,
but it is obvious it falls far short of the needs of a
great agricultural community, with boundless extent of
territory aud without capital or labor to cultivate it.
Where so many wise heads have failed I have great
diffidence in offering my crude suggestions, but in
time of great difficulty, no man should withhold hi*
counsel. I would say, then, be not rash iu abandon
ing the old paths. Consult the dictates of good Musa
and experience, and above all, do net lose faith in su
perintending Providence. If you have had unpropi-
tious seasons, remember that they have been coufined
to no age or country. Let ns plant thoM erops that
are best suited lo our soil and locality. If your loca
tion should reuder specialities profitable, devote your
attention to them, but all the farmers in a great State
cannot be trackers. The true oourse for those who
cultivate their own farms is to pursue th* British sys
tem of eonvet libie husbandry. Raise grain, grass,
stock of all kinds, sheep, cattle, hor»es, suitable to the
soil and pastures, not forgetting hog* and poultry. In
a word, raise everything neoessary for home consump
tion, and hare a surplus of al! for sale. Depend for
improvement of your land mainly on lime, clover aud
hone made manure. Let us be content; “pay as we
go," and avoid the great sin of making haste to be
rich, and though poor, we may be happy.—American
