COTTON STATUS
Land aad Immigration Company,
ATHENS, GA.
The Ageocy of this Company has been organized
to furnish a reliable medium by which our people
may, at the smallest outlay m cash, obtain thorough
labor of all kinds, viz: Farm Laborers, Gardeners
Shepherds. Domestics, Hostlers, Seamstresses, Rail
road Laborers, Miners, Mechanics Factory HandsAc.
as well as to sell lands to foreign 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 onr wants
in this respect, and, being residents of the South, and
in every respect identified with onr 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, Col. Frank Rchaller.
an officer in the Confederate States Army during the
war, is fudy acquainted with the characteristics of for
eign emigration, and having lived at the South for the
last seventeen years, is no less cognizant of the labor
which will suit our people. During the veers 1868—
1871 he acted as the General State Agent of Immi
gration of Virginia, and was eminentlv successful in
laying for that Stnte the basis tor a substantial immi
gration. Col. SebuMer will personally till in Europe all
orders received by the Company.
Our General Agent nt Athens, Captain II. H. Carl
ton, kuown throughout the South as Captain of Artil
lery in General Lee’s army, will he permanently loca
ted and conduct the business of the Agency nt Athens,
acting as receiving auti disbursing agent of the Com-
paay.
Our General Traveling Agent, Dr- Edwin D. New
ton, late Surgeon in General Lee’s army, who has for
several years been laboring so earnestly in behalf of
the agricultural interest of the State ot Georgia, will
personally solicit orders throughout the country, make
contracts and g've receipts.
I,nbor of all kinds, as mentioned above, we
order by steamer or sailing vessel. The cost per sail
ing vessel is twenty dollars less than by steamer; this
passage-money advauced being gradually deducted
from the w ages contracted for I’ersuns 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 reach
Savannah
The Contract with the party engaged is always
made in Europe, agreeably to the terms mutually
agieed upon between agent and contractor. These
contracts are made fully binding, in the maimer by us
to be indicated. We shall, whenever desired, endeav
or to make contracts for a term of two years.
Trunnls 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 passage
money If tenants, on the contrary, are sought who
pay their own traveling expenses, a charge of twenty-
five dollars for each tenant is made by us, to he paid
to us with the order. It this order cannot be filled by
us we refund the money-, if the tenant, after presen
tation, is not accepted agreeably to the original terms
of contract, the money is forfeited to us. All charges
for tenants are made irrespective of the term of tenan
cy agreed upon.
l.nndw are sold on commission; we require plat
aud survey, descriptions, abstract ot title,and explicit
terms of sale.
IMnlionnlily. While in all cases we shall endeav
or to meet the wishes of our customers Id this respec t,
vet the labor-market in Europe is so constantly chang
ing, and the lequisite qualifications for the various
kinds of labor, are so diffeient, that we desire to he
left free to exercise a due discretion iu our selections,
to enable us to furnish the brt! in the market, and thus
subserve our joint interests.
I.nngunge. Some persons, desirous of employ-
ieg foreign labor, yet not wishing to engage natives of
the British Isles, see an obstacle iuthe tact Ilia North
ern Enropeans are strangers to our language. Our ex
perience leads us 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 lo his
perfect contentment, but by gradually acquiring our
language he will have a better opportunity to appro
bate our character and customs as a people, thau 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 uuderstaud our
language to perform all duties required of them.
All business of this Company will he conducted by
our Agents. They will at all times take pleasure in
furnishing such information as may be desired in regard
to terms, contracts, manner ot delivery, etc. All
ominunications requiring an answer should be accom
panied with a postage stamp.

DEEDS TERSC8 CREED!*.
BT ANNIE L- MPZZKY.
And, seeking truth, I wholly lost my way;
Rockett back and forward by the swinging tides
Of doubt and faith, confused by many guides,
Each one armed with a doctrine and a creed
Which each fed safe to say
Would meet and satisfy my every need.
And one claimed Jeans was the son of God ;
And one denied that he was more than man.
One scented wrath in the redeeming plan;
One dwelt upon its mercy and its love;
One threatened with the rod ;
One wooed me wlthjhe eooings of the dove.
And whether souls were foreordained to bliss ;
And whether faith, or works, were atroDg to save;
And whether judgment lay beyond the grave,
Aud love, with pardoning power, went down to hell;
Whether that road or this,
Lead np to Heaven's gate, I could not telL
Amid this dust of theolopic striter
I hungered with a want unsatisfied.
Heaven while I lived, not Heaven when I died,
War what I craved; and how to make sublime
And beautiful my life
While yet I lingered on the shoies of Time.
To judgment swift my guides in doctrine came;
Which one lived out the royal truths he preached?
Which one loved mercy, and ne'er overreached
His weaker brother? And which one forgot
His own in other's claim,
And put self last ? I sought, but found him not.
And wept and railed because religion seemed
Omy the thin ascending smoke of trords—
The jangliogrudeof inharmonious chords;
Until—my false inductions to disprove—
Across tny vision streamed
The glory of a life aflame with. lore-.
One who was silent while his brethren taught,
And showed me Dot the beauties of his creed,
But went before me, sowing silent seed
That made the waste and harreu desert glad;
Whose hand iu secret brought
Healing and comfort to the sick aud sad.
Aglow, 1 cried, “Here all my questionings end;
Oh! what is thy religion, thy belief?"
Smiling he shook his head with answer brief—
This man so swift to act, so slow to speak—
"In deeds,not creeds, my friend,
Lives the religion that I humbly seek."
And soft and sweet across my spirit stole
The rest and peace so long and vaiuly sought;
And though I mourn the graces I have uot,
If I may help ir.y brother in his need,
And love him as my soul,
I trust God’s pardon if 1 have no creed.

According to annuouncement, a largo and en
thusiastic meeting ot Germans took place on the
evening of February 23rd at the hall of the Goi-
mania Fire Company, to hear the address ot Col
A S. Atkinson, of Cobti county, ou the subject of
Direct Trade aud Immigration' The meeting was
called to order by Mr. Geo. Gehe, who moved that
Ah erman John Schwarz ho called to the Chair,
and Dr. L. Kuorr be requested to act ag Secretary.
CoL Atkinson was then introduced to the audience
by the Chairman, and proceeded to address the
meeting upou the important subject, for which the
meeting was called. Time aud space will not per
mit us to give even a synopsis of tha ideas so blab
orately presented and so well expressed by the dis-
tinguisbed speaker, but would reunrk that the
subject was ably handled and elicited frequent ap
plause. Col - Frank Schaller, of Clark county,
being loudly called for, presented his views upon
the subject in a few short but very pertinent re
marks. The meeting was then addressed bv Dr
Knorr and Alderman Schwarz, aud at the close of
Aldetman Schwarz's remarks, Mr. George Gehe
moved that a committee be appointed by the chair
lo draft a set ot resolutions expressive of the views
of the meeting upou this all-important subject.—
The committee, consisting of Geo. Gehe, Dr. L.
Knorr and C. Heinsius, retired at once to prepare
the resolutions, and during their absence the meet
ing was addressed at some length by C. E\ Banse-
mer.
The tollowing resolutions were then presented
by the committee and passed without a dissenting
voice :
RESOLUTIONS-
Whereas, we, the German people of Savannah,
having observed with great interest the vast inter
nal improvements now in progress through rail
way s and a canal proposed to connect the waters
of the Mississippi slope and the Allegliauies with
those of the Atlantic slope, making a direct com
munication between St. Louis, tire great central
city of the valley, through the State of Geargia to
Savannah, more than two hundred miles nearer
than any other Atiautic city, and aware that the
German population of the West and Northwest is
a power by no means to be oespised, aud will
eventually exert a powerful influence on the fu
ture destiny of this country, we would respectful
ly call the attention of the Southern Sta’es to the
importance of making at once a commercial alliance
with the Germans of the West and Northw est by
encouraging direct trade between the seaports ot
From the Washington Chronicle.
The Bill ta Rrfand the ration Tax.
This bill, of which there has been considerable talk,
was yesterday introduced iu the House of Represen
tatives by Mr. McKee, who represents a large planting
interest. The bill provides for refunding in cash, or iu
bonds issued for the purpose, bearing five percent in
terest, the cotton tax paid after the actual close of the
war in the years 1865. '6ti, '67 and '68. It does uot in
clude the tax paid in 1863 and '61, nor in 1865. before
the proclamation of Andrew Johnson declaring the war
ended.
The ground on which the bill will be urged chiefly is
that the imposition of the tax was unconstitutional and
utterly unlawful. This claim is based, flrst.ou section
9of article I of the Constitution, “No tax or duty shall
be laid on articles exported ft om any State.” Cottoa
is emphatically an article of export. A larger propor
tion ot the crop is exported tlnm of wheat, rice, corn,
tobacco, bay, apples, tar, lumber, coal, iron, gold, or
auy other product of farm, plantation, forest or mine
But let a direct tax be laid on wheat aud corn, and the
West will rally in solid phalanx against the Congress
that does it. Let the dominant party put an export
tax od tar. aud it will subvert North Carolina at the
next election ; let it put a direct tax on other farm pro
ducts, and the farmers will very quickly resent it with
coudetnning ballots. But Cougrt ss did lav and collect
an export tax on cotton. Was it constitutional ?
The Supreme Court of the United States were tied
upon the question of constitutionality, standing four
and four, so that the law waa affirmed. From this de
cision, or rather failure to decide, Southern mi*,
through their members, propose to appeal to Congress
Secondly. The friends of the bill will argue uncon
stitutional! ty from section 2 of article I, which provides
that “Representatives and direc: taxes shall be ap
portioned among the several States » * * accord
ing to their respective numbers," to be ascertained bv
the census; and from section 8, which declares that
“all duties, imports and excises shall be uniform
throughout the United States." This tax, the South
ern members will claim, violates both these provisions.
There was no apportionment whatever of direct taxes,
aud there is a plain wart ot uniformity.
The dealer in wheat paid, under the internal reveuue
laws at that time, a tax on gross sales, an income tax,
etc So did the dealers in coal, hay, salt, tar and corn.
The dealer in raw cotton paid exactly the same tax.
and, in addition, paid this special taxol three percent,
per pound on all cotton which he sold. This is not
uniform taxation. It is in excess over the tax paid bv
any or all other products. Is it constitutional ? Is it
just or equitable ! These are the questions which the
Southern members will put very pointedly to both
houses. We state the argument that all interested may
see and per.der it. The proposition involves a large
sum and great principles.
When do Men Die?—Medical experience
proves that, iu chronic diseases, the greater nmn-
of deaths occur just before dawn. This is emi
nently true of brain diseases, and of all these re.'a
ted cases where death results from an exhaustion
of the vital power, through over work, excessive
excitement or nervous prostration It is at the
hour of five o’clock in the morning that the life
force is at itslowest ebb, and succumbs most rcadi
ly to the assault ot epilensy or paralysis, or of the
fatal lethergy that esmes in those vividly beauti
ful picture dreams, for which medical science has
as yet found no name, and of wh eh it bus taken
no sufficient cognizance. Nine tenths of those
who die in this way expire iu their sleep. In ma
ny such cases, if a friend were at hand to awaken
by some accidental noise, he might, by the use of
a few simple precautions, prolong his life for many
years, for the shock which proves fatal to the man
wrapped in deep sleep, when the system is passive
and relaxed, would be victoriously repelled w-re
it armed with all its waking energies Men whe
do brain-work, and who are on the shady si ie of
forty, should be on their guard against tin's iudns
trious enemy. They should beware of live o’clock
A. M., for it is a perilous hour. Do you find your,
self unable to sleep when you retire for the night
exhausted with your day’s work 7 Do you, in
vain, turn from one side to the other ? Does your
brain persist in working when you would fain
have it rest ? Do old saws and scraps of rhyme
repeat themselves in your memory with wearisome
in ration, defying your utmost efforts to silence
them ? Then; I sav to you, beware ! Y«u will
be sure to sleep at last. It is only a question ot
time ; for soon or late, nature will assert her
right-
A Consider.* t e Parent —A person who farms
for a living, some distance from the city, rode in
a spring wagon into !own yesterday , bringing
with him a little sou. After figuring around for an
hour or two, doing worldly business, he pulled up
in front of a grocery iu the suburbs, and went iu
to refresh and comfort himself, leaving the boy to
take care of the horses. The man met some com
panions in doors, with whom he set about becom
ing convivial, as is the custom of those who con- i c i - •„ i „r.__
gregate in suburban groceries. Time sped on, and j of sal-am inOQia BIUl 181Qgla88 are aftor-
the boy in the wagon became numbed with the !
cold, and fell into a sort of stupor. The “lines"
dropped from him fingers, and the horses walked

trusty colored man riding .n for a doctor, saying
the boy‘‘Tommy wa3 frozen to dentil.” The faor.

still sitting in the seat—Memphis Appeal.
Discoveries Made by Accident.—
Not a few discoveries in the arts
and sciences have been made or sug
gested by accident. The use of the
pendulum, suggested by the vibrating
of a chandelier in a cathedral ; the
power of steam, intimatad by the os-
cilatingof the lid of a tea-kettle ; the
utility of coal-gas for light, experimen
ted upon by an ordinary tobacco-pipe
of white clay ; the magnifying proper
ty of the lena, stumbled upou by an
optician’s apprentice while holding
spectacle-giasses between his thumb
and finger—are well-known instances
in proof of the fact.
Galvanism was discovered by acci
dent. Professor Galvani, of Bologna,
iu Italy, gave his name to the opera
tion, but his wife is considered as act
ually entitled to the credit of this dis
covery. She being in bad health,
some frogs were ordered for her. As
they lay upon the table, skinned, she
noticed that their limbs became
strongly convulsed when near an elec
trical conductor. She called her bus-
band’s attention to the fact : he insti
tuted a series of experiments, and in
178) the galvanic battery was invent
ed.
Eleven years later, with that discov
ery for his basis, Professor Alessan
dro Volta, also an Italian, announced
his discovery of the “Valtaic pile.”
The discovery of glass-making was
effected by seeing the sand vitrified
upon which a fire had been kindled.
Blancourt says that the making of
plate-glass was suggested by the fact
of a workman happening to break a
crucible filled with melted glass. The
fluid ran under one of the large flag
stones with which the floor was paved.
On raising the stone to recover the
glass, it was found in the form of a
plate, such as could not be produced
by the ordinary process of blowing.
Glass pearls, though among the
most beautiful, inexpensive, and com
mon ornaments worn by the ladies,
are produced by a very singular pro
cess. In 1656 a Venetian named Ja-
quin, discovered that the scales of fish,
called bleak-fish, possessed the proper
ty of communicating a pearly hue to
the water He found, by experiment
ing, that beads dipped into this water
assumed, when dried, the appearance
of pearls. It proved, however, that
the pearly coat, when placed outside,
was easily rubbed off; aud the next
improvement was to make the beads
hollow. The making of these beads is
carried on to this day in Venice* The
beads are all blown separately. By
means of a small tube, the insides are
delicately coated with the pearly liq
uid, and a waxed coating is placed over
that. It requires the scales of four
thousand fish to produce half a pint of
the liquid, to which a small quantity

A Curious Bzt.—At Newbury, Berks, England,
Sir John Throckmorton made a wager of 1,000 gu-nea*
that at eight o’clock on a particular evening he would
tit dow n to dinner in a well woven, well-dyed, well-
made suit of clothes, the wool of which formed the
fleece on sheep's backs at five o'clock that same morn
ing. Two sheep were shorn, the wool was washed, cat fl
ed, stubbed, roved, spun, and woven, the cloth was
scoured, fulled, tented, raised, sheared, dyed, and
dressed, the garments were made, and at a quarter
past six in the evening Sir John sat down to dinner, a‘
the head ol his guests, iu a complete damson colored
suit made, thus winning his wager, with one bonr and
three quarters to spare.

Prior to the so-called recent rebel
lion the Southern people in general
appeared content with the lighter
adornments ol refinement, accomplish
ments and courtliness of manner, with
out the exertion of more potent
charms to recommend them. But the
war developed a deeper, sterner, under
tone of thought—a kind of intro
spective searching which has led them
to grasp this “great lever,” and use
it energetically, as may be seen in nu
merous literary productions, of no
mean merit, from Southern authors.
Ida Raymond’s Living Female Wri
ters, and Professor Davidson’s Living
Writers of the South display a bril
liant galaxy of literary stars of both
sexes.
Among these is Mrs. Eliza Lofton
Pugh, a lady of distinguished ancestry
and reared in all the surroundings ot
luxury in Louisiana. During eaily
childhood Mrs. Pugh wrote articles of
merit giving promise of future excel
lence.
Recently Claxton, Remsen & Haf-
felfinger issued, iu extremely hand
some style, a work from Mrs. Pugh’s
pen, entitled “ In a Crucible,” a novel
of the early stage of the recent war.
In the opening chapters the author
portrays the conscientious scruples of
a clergyman of the Protestant Episco
pal church against a change in the
ritual, although he was warmly
Southern in sentiment. She has des
cribed the combat between duty and
his affection lor his flock with much
skill. Some of the characters are
drawn with a great deal of the ‘old
Adam’ in them, and display humanity
very naturally. Others are somewhat
too ideal to accord with that vraisem-
blance to real life, so clfarming in a
work of fiction.
The Greek artists were justly con
sidered adepts in ideality. Their cre
ations were master pieces of beauty ;
every posture betrayed a studied ele
gance above tbe abandon and careless
grace of natural figures. To attain
this ideal was a perfection of art,
beautiful and fascinating, but too
elevated for mortal mediocrity to look
upon with a feeling of homogeneity.
Humanity gazes at such creations
with a serene pleasure—a distant de
light, such as is felt on seeing a quiet
sunset behind clouds edged with sil
ver and golden brilliancy, lovely to
behold, but not of this lower world.
A still higher order of art is found
in a just combination of the idealistic
with the realistic; and therein con
sists the wonderful genius of Michael
Angelo. In sculptures and in paint
ings his figures possessed all the beau
ty and elegance of the Greek artists,
and in addition, all the careless grace,
the magical suppleness, the wonderful
expression of feature, the nameless
variety of slight touches which dis
sever the identity of one person from
that of another, and make each one
an individual being, whether that be
ing be represented on canvas or in
time enduring stone.
This is the true perfection of art. We
feel while in rapturous gaze at such,
that there is magical beauty, genuine
perfection ; and yet that a kindred tie
exists between them and us.
This mingling of ideal and real is
the secret of success with all artists; the
key to the attainment of the highest
excellence in authors as well as to all
other artists : and although the pos
sibility of this art can be reached in
practice, it is more difficult iu writing
than perhaps in any other department.
Mrs. Pugh’s style is easy and her
work emanates from a mind rich in
culture. There are some fine descrip
tions of natural scenery in Louisiana;
and to those versed in psychology and
pathognomy the book is a study.
As the title suggests, the charac
ters are takeu through a crucible of
trials potent in their power of purifi
cation. This book can be had at
