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.

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.

Dir«*ct Trade and limniigraliea. 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.

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 CHITICAL NOTICES. BY MARY FAITH FLOYD.

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. Why was Noah Dever hungry? Be cause he had Ham with him. of State. Mr. Adams lias returned to this country, says the correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, on private busi ness, and he was requested to come to wards added. Lundy Foot, the celebrated snuff manufacturer, originally kept a small tobacconist shop at Limerick. One night his house, which was uninsured, was burned to the ground. As he contemplated the smoking ruins, on the following morning in a state bor dering on despair, some of the poor neighbors, groping among the embers for what they could find stumbled up on several canisters of unconsumed, but half-baked snuff, which they tried, and found it so pleasant to their noses that they loaded their waistcoat pock et with it. Lundy Foot, aroused from his stupor, imitated theit example, and took a pinch of his own property ;— when he was struck by the superior pungency and flavor it had acquired from the great heat to which it had been exposed. Acting upon a Washington to submit bis views upon j the hiut> he touk another house in the recent English flurry, and not to ! ]i4Pe called B ack Yard, erected ovens, take pait in any official correspondence ' . ind se (- a t>out the manufacture of that relating to it.

Mr. j whom the sending of messages to the Adams is not prepared to express any teiegrapb office is iiiconvenient. 1 ey - - “men become more opinion on the American case as- sub- | .!!, ! gentle and refined from the presence of women.” Granting this, is not his view taken from a selfishly masculine standpoint; and is not the real ques tion whether constant association with boisterous male youth may not render maidenhood “less gentle and refined?” A man in Robinson county, Texas, has forty-one living children, sixteen of whom served iu a Confederate regiment during the war. He is now living whth his eighth wife, and is sixty-five yeaiB old. “Mind is the great lever of all things !” exclaimed Daniel Webster in one of his eloquent speeches. 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 Messrs. Hunt, Rankin & Lamar’s store iu this city.

The members of the royal house Ho- heDZolleru—possibly with a view to some future contingency—have all been trained up to some useful art. The present Crown Prince is said to be an expert book-binder, and bis wife an accomplished minature painter. Tbe Queen of Holland is a poetess, but poe try is an inspiration and uot an art. Louis Napoleon and Queen Victoria have both assayed to w’rite books. The wife of the Prince of Wales is a superb musician, aud has but lew e- quals among amateurs pianist. The Czarina of Russia paints miniatures well. The Queen ot Belgium is a horse trainer and a fearless rider, while the Queen ot Denmark is a great house-keeper and one of the best cooks in her dominions. It is also said that some of the junior male members of tbe royal family ot England are profi cient as practical composers, while the Prince Imperial of France is a first- class typographer. Great Britain purchases more dried fruit than any ether country. eost of sending a message to any part ol the United Kingdom, the Scilly, Orkney and Shetland Islands excepted, including free delivery at any point within one mile of the terminal tel egraph office, or of the town postal de livery ol that office* In case the mes sage exceeds twenty words, three pence additional for every five^ words is fixed as tariff. The postal tele graph card is similar in all respects to the half-penny postal card, aud is e- qually convenient. This brief discrip- tiou serves to show the advance made in English meaLS of communication within the past few years—an advance placing Great Britain considerably ahead of the United States in mail and telegraph facilities, as well as in re gard for convenience of tbe citizen. To appieciate this a New Yorker may imagine himself armed with half-a- dozen postal cards, as many telegraph cards, and a Faber No. 2: aud standing within hail of a poet-pillar, he might send half-a-dozen letters or as many messages to any part of the United States, without troubliug himself for further applianoes.
