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.

Mr. Spence was born in Appling county iD 1834, re ceived a private education, lyid has been nil hi* life 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 dent Democrat, the Republican candidate receiving 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. Goetlir'. First I.ove. 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 proaching that period of political com placency and indifference as a people which will make the incoming ot a despot quite proper and natural. “Grant cares nothing for party or principle; he runs the thing for him self, and many of the business inter ests of the country are so situated that they can better afford to drop iuto the line of a powerful President’s prejudi From the New York Ev.ning Telegram 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. Win. B.

She denounced the jest and pointed nut the mischief to wliich it might lead. The scene is very pretty as described by the great man himself: “She had drawn my sketch of the poetic epistle toward her, and res i it half aloud in a sweet and graceful manner. ‘That is very pretty,’ said sh , stopping at, a sort of naive point ; ‘but it is a pity that it is not destined for a real purpose ’ ‘That were indeed very desirable’ 1 cried, ‘and, ob ! how happy must iie be who re ceives Torn a giri he infinitely loves such an as surance of her affection.’ ‘There is much requir ed for that,’ sh* answered ; and yet many things are possible.’ ‘For example,’ I continued, ‘If any one ever knew, prized, henored, and adored you, what would you do ?’ I pushed the paper nearer tolier, which she had previously pushed back t) me She smiled, reflected fora moment, took the pen. subscribed her name.

After wards there were halcyon days for Goethe and Gretchen, b t the youth’s association with com rades far beneath him ultimately brought him to grief Gretchen went far away to her home in the country, and he never saw her agaiu.

The Spotted Fever.—Dr. Morris has presented to the Board of Health ol New York a long report concerning the death of four children from spotted fever in the family of Mr, Brown, here tofore reported by telegraph.

The deaths are ascribed direct ly to this cause.

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 has passed away when women muet be pale ^nd delifa£e.^o..Aw, oe’letioiiy'■ig 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 our zealmi* farmer* have »mfi{e*ted various expedi 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 Farmer.
