The stars go down, To rise upon some fairer shore ; And bright in Heaven’s jeweled crown They shine forevermare. There is no death ! The dost we tread Shall change beneath the summer showers To golden grain or mellowed fruit, Or rainbow-tinted flowers. The granite rocks disorganize. And fetd the hungry moss they bear; The forest leaves drink daily life From out the viewless a>’r. There is no death The leaves may fall, And flowers may fade and pass away ; They only wait through wintry hours The coining of May day. There is no death ! An angel form Walks o’er the earth with silent tread ; And bears our best-loved things away. And then we call them ‘‘dead. - ’ He leaves our hearts all desolate, He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers : Transplanted into bliss they now Adorn immortal bowers. The bird-like voice, whose joyous tones Made glad these -cenes of sin and strife, Sings now an everlasting song, Arouud the tree of liie. W here’er he sees a smile too bright, Or heart too pure for taint and vice, He bears it to that world of light, To dwell iu paradise. Born unto that undying iife. They leave us but to come again ; With joy we welcome them the same, Except their sin aud pain. . And ever near us. though unseen, The dear immortal spirits tread ; For all the boundless universe Is life—there is no dead. Jewelry Stores. T WI EDEN MAN, Wayne st, opposite Milledgeville Hotel.

Milledgeville, Ga., Feb. 6,1872. 28 tf Ilow Mr. Greeley Was Affected by the Startling News.—Mr. Gree ley was iu his editorial room pending the ballots, and of course very much interested. As the ballots progressed, he outwardly preserved all appearance of calm ; but those who know lus pe culiarities were conscious that he was inwardly very much disturbed. It is well known that Mr. Greeley, al though enabled to preserve an out ward calm, from his louj public life and practice of speaking before large audiences, is of a highly emotional and nervous nature, and keenly excited in ali matters that interest hun per sonally. He said in conversation im mediately befoie his nomination was received that he supposed, of course, the Trumbull votes would be transfer red to Adams and the latter nomina ted- When the dispatch was handed to him from bis confidential agent in Cincinnati he opened it quite uncon cernedly and read the announcement of his own nomination and the con gratulations of Mr--Reid. It didn t appear to disturb him in the least.— He continued his conversation and proceeded with bis writing.--A’. Y. World.

[From the Washington Capital ] We happened to meet Colonel Strother, the famous “Porte Crayon” and, the talk tnrning as usual upon Morse, the Colo nel said : I knew him well. I took lessons under him in drawing and painting. I first saw him when he was a competitor for the remaining panel in the rotunda of the capitol. I thought then he ought to have had it. I think so yet. He was not a grand artist, Lnt he was enough to save us from ridicule. The job was given to Mr. Powel. General Scbenck did that. The general probably did not know one picture from another but Mr. Powel was his constituent, and he believed, did Schenck, that something in the way of ait should he done for the Miami bottoms, so he worked at it till he got the commis sion. “And one day,” said we, “Congress From the Baltimore Gazette. NOT FOR GREfihCY! The nomination of llcrace Greeiey and B. Gratz Brown, by the liberal Republicans, at Cincinnati, will be re ceived by the country with considera ble surprise. It was supposed, at one time, that a candidate for the first place on the ticket, less obnoxious to the Conservative masses would be pre sented by the Convention, and the initial proceedings of that body indi cated the existence therein of a degree of wisdom and prudence which its final action has failed to justify. It is useless to waste words at such a crisis, or attempt to excite hopes which can never be realized. The selection of Mr. Greeley places an impassible bar rier between the Liberal Republicans and the Conservative masses of the will give General Schenck permission t« and found He had For the Federal Union. A RADICAL. ITBE. ‘•How They Take the Tribune in Palestine.—Some ill-natured people have long considered the Tribune as a drug, but few have claimed that it was also a medicine. No one who has been familiar with that journal’s boasting could have doubted that it claimed to be taken everywhere, even in Syria But it appears that in the East it is not taken as a periodical, but as a po tion. Whether it operates as a purge, or by emesis, as a diuretic or by dia phoresis, is uot stated, but an Arab doctor came to Rev. Dr. Jessup, while that gentleman was in Beirut, and begged for several cld papers. He was given a few old Tribunes. A fortnight after, he returned boasting of the cures he had perfected, and ask ing Dr, Jessup to go and eat fruit in his vineyard. Mr. Jessup supposed that the man had taken the papers to wrap up his nostrums but as he approached the house he exclaimed ; “I thank you very much for those Frangy journals. There is nothing like them. They have wrought « onders upon my pa tients.” Imagine Mr. Jessup’s sur prise when, upon entering the house, he was asked to look into an earthen jar, in which the newspapers has been dissolved to pulp by means of soak ing them in water and then in olive oil. Quantities of this delectable mixture had been administered to cred ulous patients. The belief of the old Hakeem was that the writing on the Tribune had some magical effect in driving away disease, and its curative properties were wonderful.” Doctor Greeley tried it for a time on a public functionary in Washing ton, distinguished beyond others by his position, aud the medicine paper signally failed. The case, however, was a hard one and its proper treat ment involved in doubt that all paBt experience failed to make clear. In deed the peculiar habits and penchauts of the gentleman alluded to were bo foreign to anything that the people had ever before witnessed some came to believe that his mind was diseased, others thought he had none, time de veloped that he had, but it was limit ed to one idea. The case was a novel one, and it is but justice to Dr. Gree ley to state the fact, that to this day political doctors have failed to agree in regard to this man’s case. Some held that his insatiable desire for pro perty was strong evidence of moral in sanity, others maintained the contrary ou the. grounds that he was indisputa bly the best judge of brandy in the country, that his practice of worldly wisdom was commended by the party of progress and high moral ideas that put him in power, that he but illus trated the cardinal principles of the party, and that it would be a reflec tion to—you know the rest yourself— that they elected a well, we never speak ill of the dead, and he must be dead for he was reported speechless long since. Murj hy says that what is one man’s meat is another man’s poison, now is it not possible that the Tiibune may have had something to do with this Washington man’s death? Is the Tribune a specific or A Cure All? The steamer Fanny was coming down the Upper Mississippi, loaded with pig lead. As she was going over a shoal place, the pilot gave the signal to heave the lead. The only mau for ward was a green Irishman. “Why don’t you heave the lead ?” “Is it the lead, your honor ? Where to ?” “Overboard, you blockhead !” The Irishman snatched up one of the pigs of lead and threw it overboard ; the mate, in endeavoring to prevent him, last his balance and fell into the river. The captain, running to the deck, ask ed, “Why don’t you heave the lead, and sing out how much water there is ?” “The lead is heaved, your hon or, and the mate’s gone down to see how much water there is.” country.

Your life depends upon people who know nothing of your art, and care nothing for you. A house dog lives better, and the very sensitiveness that stimulates him to work keeps him alive to suffering.” “I remained with Professor Morse three years and theu we separated. Some years afterwards I met him on Broadway one day. He was about the same as be fore, a trifle older and some what ruddier. I asked him how he was getting on with his painting, and he told me that he had abandoned it; that he had something bet ter, he believed ; and told me about his proposed telegraph. I accompanied him to his room, and there found several miles of wire twisted about, and the battery, which he explained to me. His pictures, finished and unfinished were lying about covered with dust. Shortly after Con gres* made an appropriation, and Morse was ou the high road to wealth and im mortality. How the Case was Put.—One of the foremost lawyers in Canada is the the pressure of events and accept the action of the Liberal Republicans, the course of the Cincinnati Convention has put that question beyond all dis cussion. It is now, we rejoice to say, among the things that were. It was and still is our earnest desire to have a Democratic candidate, an honored and well tried statesman, from our ranks, and not be compelled, by the force of circumstances or unwise De- un- der any other banner. From this hour, henceforth, the Democratic col umn will move on unbroken. Its or ganization, once threatened with dis memberment, will now bo stronger than ever. There will be no faltering— no backward steps. In the wild chaos that exists in the Radical ranks, the election of the Democratic candidates for President and Vice-President is as certain as the coming of the election day, if the Democratic National Con vention only exercises in its delibera tions an ordinary degree of wisdom and discretion. The day for entangling alliauces has past, happily for the party and the country, there is but one path left for the Democracy to tread, and that is, adhesion to its own principles, and the selection of wisi-, pure and honest statesmen as its candidates. The time and place for the meeting of the Democratic National Convention have not yet been agreed upon, but the soon er this is done the belter. In this be half we earnestly suggest the city of Baltimore as an eminently fitting place for such an august gathering. Its il service reform, it was replied that a board of eminent men had been ap pointed to consider the subject, and that the President would be guided by their conclusions. Their report was made, and adopted by the President, and a great flourish of trumpets was made over this re form, which might quite as easily have been introduced three years before; and it had hardly been adopted when it was announced that the rules would be temporarily suspended whenever the admiuistratiou thought proper. And lastly, to the charge of present taking, the reply made is that the whole matter was talked over in 1SG7 by Colonel Forney, Mr. Justice Carter and Senator Thayer and General Grant’s chief of staff, and it was deci ded that, as General Grant had saved the rich a great deal during the war, it was only fair that he should get some of it himself. All these accusa tions, however, are merely matters of detail. Those who distrust the admin istration have an underlying ground of complaint, which would require a great deal to remove. It has often been repeated, but re petition does not weaken its force. It is, that when General Grant was elected, four years ago, it was the popular belief and understanding that he would bend all his energies to the work of purifying the government, of redeeming it from the corruption into which it has fallen, of assisting those whose object it is to make political life in America ouce more respectable aud honorable. Instead of doing this he has allied himself with the very men whose names are by-words throughout the country for those vices which he expressed his desire root out; and he has lent his warm assistance to petty factions, warring not for any political object, but for the control of plunder, and he now de mands his re-election on the strength of these services to the country. By the law of March 12, 1863 (vol. xii, Stat. at Large, Sec. 3, p. 820, Ac.) suit could be brought by owner for proceeds “ at any time within two years after the suppression of the re hellion.” This limitation expired 20th Au gust, 1SUS; therefore, no suits could be brought thereafter, and none have been.

Well, this cotton was sold. Large private fortunes were made by loyal Treasury agents who manipulated the business. What remained, some twenty-six million, found its way into the Treasury. Congress kindly said to the sufferers, if you choose to go in to the Court ot Claims, aud admit that we captured your property and did uoL take it by mere high-handed robbery, and can prove that you have always been a loyal citizen, &c., why, you may have what we received for your cotton, though that is a small part. Claimants, representing about half this sum, brought suit within the time limited by law, and if they all recov ered judgment, the Treasury would unjustly retaiu halt of the proceeds of this disgraceful enterprise.. The Supreme Court of the United States has solemnly decided that this cotton, or its proceeds, never belonged to the'United States, but still belongs to the original owners. That these owners, who have taken the amnesty oath or been pardoned, may prosecute their suits, if commenced in time, in the Court of Claims, and have judg ment for the proceeds, on proving ownership and seizure. Many judg meuts have been recovered and not yet collected. It is almost incredible that any one, in either House, or in any department of the Government, could be fool or knave enough, for the sake ot perpetuating the original injustice, to make another attack upon the Judicial Department of the Gov ernment. Tbe amendment was pushed through the Senate by Senator Morrill, assert ing that unless passed the Treasury would be robbed by rebels ot $70,- 000,000. But it is asserted that the judgments in the captured and abandoned prop erty suits will absorb a large amount of the public funds. Without any commentary on such a proposition, let the facts be examined. By the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, May 11,1S68, Ex. Doc., No. o6, Seiiate 2d Sess., 40th Congress, p. 33, the total amount of proceeds ot sales captured aud abandoned proper ty covered into the Treasury, will be found to be $2-5,257,031 62. To this AT .noMthlr Attack* l*rc»idcat t.rant. The replies of the friends of the ad ministration to the charges made against ttie President have been from the first considered merely as re plies, singularly ineffective. The of ficial reply, to the charge of nepotism was that, instead of having appointed J twenty-four relatives to office, the President had only appointed twelve. But the difficulty with this method of meeting the accusation was that it did not go far enough. Obviously the question was not whether the number of th^se appointments had been exag gerated, but what the proportion was between the whole number of ap- ment ot twelve shows a different spir- i it. To have made its reply complete the official organ in New York ought to publish uot only a complete list of all the relatives of the President and Mrs. Grant, but at the same time furn ish lull information on the other points we have indicated.

By reference to H. R. Doc. No. 97, hereinbefore alluded to, it will be seen (p. 10) that there were received and disposed of by tbe Uuited States Treasury agents 156,387-j bales of cot ton ; the number sued for being 92,- 571 bales, leaving yet unclaimed 63,- 716-J bales. The first suits for cotton came to a judgment at the December term, 1866, since when, up to the 4th ot April, 1872, last month, the whole amount paid out bus been $2,858,612 02, a per First Comptroller’s record in Treasury Department, being but $048,- 135 06 more than was paid out by the Secretary of the Treasury prior to March 30. 1863, when the fund was ordered to be covered into the Treasu ry, and which was paid out with out the authority of law. When this couutry was governed by statesmen the independence and dignity of the Judicial Department of the Government was respected; private rights established by solemn judgment were secured; but with ig norance and fanaticism nothing is safe or sacred. The time was, if the Supreme Court had decided that the Government had in its possession money that did by law belong to another, no Senator could have been found either to ques tion the decision, or to vote to with hold the money. In other days they respected the independence of the Ju- dicial Department, and no Senator inquired whether it would pay to be just, or how much it would cost to be honest. for four thousand dollars. It is estimated that $75,000,000 worth of fuel is burned yearly in the United States. Locomotives consume over $8,000,000 worth of wood annu ally, and over $100,000,000 worth of sawed lumber is yearly employed in building and its manufactures.

At last he saw a light, and made his way slowly to wards it, shouting for help. “ Just as I thought I could go no farther,” said the Bishop, “and was about sinking down in despair, the door #f a cabin opened before me, and the long-looked- for Sucker came.” This totally un- iuteutional pun spoiled ihe effect of his story, tor how could a western congre gation help seeing the fun of it? Ten Millions of Fighting Men —All the principal countries of Eu rope, except Austria, are reorganizing their army systems. Germany is about to increase her available milita ry force by 400,000 men and Russia, whose army, including irregulars, has hitherto numbered 1,309,000 men on a war tooting, expects, under the new system, to have a force of 2,992,809 men at her disposal, not reckoning the local troops and the militia. The new military organization of France is not yet decided upon, but it is believed that its result will be to increase her army to 1,400,000. Italy, whose war establishment hitherto amounted to 519,630 men, including reserves, pro poses by the plan of reorganization which lias been adopted by her gov ernment to raise a force of from 750,- 000 to 800,000 men. The Turkish army, when on a war footing, hashith- j erto consisted of 270,000 men, inclu- i sive of the nizams or militia. It is to be increased to 600,000 men. Final ly, the military force of England at home is to be raised under Mr. Card well’s scheme to about 300,000 men. When all these plans are carried out the total war establishment of the ar mies of Europe will be increased from 6,166,000 men to about 10,000,000. It is to be understood that this num ber of men is not to be actually with drawn from peaceful pursuits at one time. The plans, proceeding more or less upon the Prussian idea, are to se cure a military training to a large part of the male population which may be promptly drawn upou in case of war.
