JOSIAS MARSHALL, P. M. The Nereid. The following just and appropriate notice of “The Nereid” by the Hon. Alexander H. Stephens will be highly appreciated by the talented author and her numerous friends: THE NEREID. This is a highly entertaining Nov- ellette, by a Georgia Lady, under the nom de plume of Mary Faith Floyd. It is published in neat form by J. W. Burke & Co., of Macon, in this State. Price 50 cents. Mary Faith Floyd is already exten sively known to all readers in litera ry circles—in the Southern States at least—as one of the most classical writers of the times. Heretofore her chief essays have been directed to Reviews and critical notices of the productions of ethers. It is in this field she has, by her good taste and just discrimination, attained that merited distinction which she enjoys. The Nereid, we believe, is her first attempt at anything in the form of a Book of her own. In it she has ex hibited all her peculiarities of purity of style and chasteness ot diction, ac companied with the most ennobling thoughts and sentiments. The general scope and design of this book may also be very clearly un derstood, from the first lines ot the Preface. In these she informs the public that the author’s object was to present “a picture of life on the At lantic seaboard of the Southern Uni ted States,” anterior to the late war. Fur the Federal Union.

Portland, Oregon, April 25, 1S72. Mr. Editor: Soon after writing my last letter to the Federal Union, i went to “Frisco” on steamship Helen W. Almy. We had a speedy and prosperous journey, and I enjoyed the magnificent view at the entrance through the Golden Gate (Point Lo- box); and thegroup of rocks about 300 yards distant fs vpry picturesque. This projecting cliff overhanging the sea, has upon its summit a handsome hotel called Cliff House, and crowds of visitors go there for recreation. It is reached bv a macadamized road called Point Lobos Avenue, which boasts a width of two hundred feet. This point is six miles from San Francisco, and is the fashionable drive from the city. Daily may be seen throngs of gay pleasure-seekers dashing along the avenue in fine phaetons, or upon pranc ing steeds: gentlemen accompanied by fair ladies in many-hued “Dolly Vardens” of intricate cut and symmet rical proportions. Not man alone as serts his claim to enjoyment here ; sportive seals and sea-lions frolic among the group of rocks opposite Cliff House; and they are guarded against the destructive agency of fire arms by protecting laws. I saw this point from the sea, and afterward had the pleasure of driving thither with a friend—but alas! not a young lady friend. Perhaps it was well, for you know 7 , Mr. Editor, how prone a fellow is to grow sentimental and silly in the presence of the sweet creatures—es pecially if the reigning one is pretty and modest. Ah! I detest “ fast” women ! The very idea of them blots out all the glory of the eex. Excuse the digression. I could not help it. “Frisco,” called so by the inhabi tants “ tor short,” is the queen city of the “far west”—the grand com mercial metropolis of the Pacific coast. It is situated on the western shore ot San Francisco Bay. It stands on a sloping plain about a half mile wide, girt behind by a semi-cordon of hills. The streets are regular and cross at right angles ; and along the bay stand from the drudgery busiress. Here too, we sharp-sighted young men often catch glimpses of the fair girls, and strive desperately to display our agili ty in callisthenic feats. The girls here dress in stripes of the very latest style known as a la zebra the successor to the charming fiorai Miss “ Dolly Varden.” So you see these Oregonion girls are ahead of the fashions in the old Atlantic States More anon.

Milledgeville, Ga., Feb. 6,1873. 38 tf pictures under the apparent “nom de plume," as we have said, of Mary Fuith Floyd, yet there is, after all, not much fiction in this; for we believe it is generally known that the writer is Mrs. Mary Faith Floyd McAdoo, the wife of Col. \V. G. McAdoo, who is himself not unknown in the “re public of letters.” Mary Faith Floyd is the full maiden name of the author of “The Nereid.” She is a regular descendant of those Floyds on the sea coast of Georgia who have for nearly a century so sig nally illustrated the character of the State in the field of Art, as well as in the arena of Arms. A. H. S For the Federal Union. “I had a dream which was not all a dream.” I dreamed that the spirits of Virgilius Cincinnatus and a host of old fossils asked me what “I knew about farming,” mistaking me I sup pose for Horace Greeley, and being anxious to show the wonderful pro gress we had made I launched forth nothing abashed and anxious to sus tain that illustrious gentleman’s repu tation, into a long dissertion, subdivi ding my subject into preparation of land, which I asserted should be bro ken from 12 to 14 inches deep and that oxen should be substituted in place of expensive mules for that purpose particularly in tenacious soils. Secondly. Cultivation, which should be deep in the early stages of plants and diminish as they approach the fruiting point, and tiiat brood mares should be substituted for the non-pro ductive mules for this purpose. Thirdly, That oats, rye and barley should be substituted for the expen sive, wasteful corn crop which requires so much cultivation, and that in our latitude they should be sown from the 20th of August to the 20th of Sep tember to prevent rust. I could see they began to think me crazv, but wluit 1 asserted with assured confi dence that every plantation should cultivate from 20 to 50 acres in Ber muda grass, there was a rattling of dry bones and a voice sad but very decided said I was a old fool and I awoke and came to the conclu sion that a prophet was not without honor save in his own country. Keep the Heart Alive.—The longer I live, the more expedient I find it to endeavor more aud more to extend my sympathies and affections. The natural tendency of advancing years is to narrow aud contract these feelings. I do not mean that I wish to form a new friendship every day ; to increase my circle ot intimates— these are very different affairs. But I find that it conduces to my mental health and happiness to find out all l can which is amiable and lovable in those I come in contact with, and to make the most of it. It may fall very short of what I was once wont to dream of; it may not supply the place of what I have known, felt and tasted ; but it is better than nothing. It seems to keep the feelings and affections in exercise; it keeps the heart alive in its humanity ; and, till we shall be all spiritual, this is alike our duty and our interest.— The Moravian. How many toil on, disquiet, and harass themselves, as if desperately struggling against poverty, at the same time that they are surrounded with abundance; have not only enough, but more than enough—far more, in fact, than they actually enjoy. wharves. The wholesale merchants do a fine business in the front part of the city near the bay. It had been some time since 1 last visited this place, aiid 1 went sight-seeing every where. Montgomery street is a hand some thoroughfare, and there are some magnificent dwellings on Stockton and Dupont streets. I visited the Musical Fund Hall, a splendid build ing ; and the magnificent Metropoli tan Theatre. The city is supplied with water from Mountain Lake 3£ miles distant, aud elevated 130 feet above the sea. It is curious to reflect upon the wonderful strides San Francisco has made toward its present greatness. It was first settled by the Spaniards in 1778. The place was then called Yerba Buena, or “ good herb” from a medicinal herb of that name growing plentifully on the surrounding hills The pioneer houses were built of adobes, or sun-dried bricks. It was laid out in a town in 1S39, and in 1845 hud about 150 inhabitants. In the course of the two ensuing year* its re ported gold attractions led thither ad venturers who swelled the population to 500. In 1S47 gold was discovered at Sutter’s settlement, and this certain news spread to the four quarters of the globe. In 1850 San Francisco became a city, and lias since been steadily in creasing; and in 1S70 the population was 149, 482. Time wili not allow a description of all the interesting ob jects in the Pacific queen city, and I will close with a few items more re lating to tills city. On a walk a few days since I ob served the first lilac of the season blooming in the rear of the Court house. This is early for the lilacs, as as May is their season. We hope it is the harbinger of the reign of Spring at an early day. Since last writing, we have had a succession of pic-nics. The Odd-fel lows intend to have the most elegant display of the season ; and St. Tam many’s Day is to be celebrated by an Excursion aud a mammoth pic-uic. I hope to go: I shall go. Quite an excitement occurred here about a Swedish diver who was suffo cated in his submarine armor. This man had been a successful diver for several years, and had gone down to explore the wreck of the Resolute, in Willamelte river. He remained among the machinery an hour or more, and upon coming to the surface reported the state of the engine. The second trip promised well for an hour, when the signals ceasing, fears were enter tained of some accident. A crowd collected, and an attempt was made to draw the diving bell to the surface. This was found impossible and prepar ations were made tor another diver to go down, when the rope from below grew slack and the unfortunate Swede was brought up lifeless. Everything was done to resuscitate the body, but life had fled, doubtless from a stop page of atmosphere through the sup ply-tube. Iu short, the poer fellow died “ for the want of breath.” Our churches and seminaries of learning are in flourishing condition. The Presbyterian Church has from 190 to 2G9 Sunday school scholars. It is a pleasant thing to see children of all classes join their choral songs in praise of God in sweat music. The Portland Female Academy gave a concert re cently very creditable to the young ladies, and largely attended. We have a Base Ball Club, where I like to go for ao hour’s recreation AN ATIFItMAN I > JF.RFNALM. Present Condition of The City. A private letter from an American i Jerusalem, under date of March 22, gives this acconnt of the present condition of he Holy City, Jerusalem, once “the joy of the whole world,” has fallen low ; it is Jerusalem, hut not “the City of the great King.” It is a poor place, with narrow, crooked lanes or streets, badly paved, damp and filthy. The people are poor, and there is no trade or commerce, as it is in the midst of a barren land, and remote from the line of the world’s business. How he people live is a mystery. The city is walled entirely around, and as the walls are in good condition, from its external appearance from all points, one would ex pect a rich and beautiful town within. Beggars in rags meet one on all sides, damoring for "barksheesli,” aud lepers sit by the wayside exhibiting a picture only to be seen to be realized. Frequently during my sojourn hero of seven week, have I ascended the Mount of Olives, and sitting under the olive tree, contemplated the great events in the past history of Jerusalem, and endeavored to realize that when the Saviour was upon earth and when he also walked the same roads that I now walk, and gazed upon the same natural scenes; and as I look down upon the city, I think of the words of Christ, while also looking from the same mount. “Not one stone shall re main upon another;” and how true! Noth ing now remains of that Jerusalem hut the site, now the modern Jerusalem. Often I have entered the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, on Calvary, and there silently mused. The painful minuteness of detail in which holy places are marked out and and shown as identical, detracts greatly from one’s enjoyment. I believe the church, or buildings on Calvary, occupy the very rock, but 1 do not believe in the identity of spots to a fraction. While standing by the rock which is marked as the very place where stood the cross, I believe one is within a few feet of the place,-which is quite sufficient. And as to the Sepulchre in a small marble build ing in the centre of a rotunda, above the floor I do not believe in it, and yet am of faith that it is over the tomb hewn in the orck The tomb now shown is a plain mar hie sarcophagus, much like a bath-tub, this does not appear much like a tomb hew in the rock. There is nothing to be seen of the rock of Calvary, being all covered with build ings and marble floors, except that portion where the cross was elevated., (which is some fifteen feet higher than the tomb,) and this is only seen through a small open ing, and also the rent, caused, as said, by the earthquake at the crucificfion. Pil grims are now gathering here for Faster. Russians, Persians, Armenians, Greeks. &c., &c., and they present a unique pic ture iu their curious costumes. They daily enter the Church of the Holy Sep« ulchre, and kiss every old stone from the entrance throughout, firm in their belief of every place identified. It is an interest- r scene long to be remetnbered- I hare been around the city without the walls many times, as also upon them, and either has its interest. Three times have I beeu within the Mosque of Omar, on Mount Morriah, the site of Solomon’s Temple. The mosque, being the second holy place of Mahometanism, is_ much out of repair Sketch of the Liberal SLepnblican Candidate. Harare Greeley. For the past twenty years no name has been more familiar to the American peo ple than that of Horace Greeley, who, as editor of the New York Tribune, was as well known in the South and West as in the North and East. Sir. Greeley is of 1 risii descent—his grandfather having been a native of Ireland—and was born on the 3d of February, 1811, in Amherst, N. H His parents were poor, but respectable in in their sphere. After assisting his father in farming for three or four years, Mr. Greeley was apprenticed to a printer in East Palteny, Vermont, and from that time forth he commenced his career as a compositor at the case, and subsequently as editor. For ten years after his arrival in New York (August, 1S31) he worked as a journeyman printer and journalist. He was engaged in a great many journal istic enterprises, some of which were suc cessful during their existence, whale the majority failed. Among these were the Morning Post, the Few Yorker, the Jeffr sonian, and the Log Cabin. In 1836 he mariied to a Mms Cheney, of Norrh Can tina. He was a VV big while the A big partj survived, and when the republican a- rose he attached h'mself to that party, with which he has since acted. The New York Tribune was started by Mr. Greeley iu April 1841. In 1S4S Mr. Greeley was elected to Congress for the short term. He visited Eurrfpe in 1S51, and was cbo sen chairman of one of those juries at the World’s Fair. In 1860, at the Republican Convention which nominated Mr. Lincoln for President, Mr. Greeley defeated the nomination for that position of ex-Secre tary Seward, against whom and Thurlow Weed he had an old grudge. Mr. Gree ley’s course for the last ten years—du ring and siuce the war—is familiar to all, and does not need recapitulation. MACON CARDS.

Drilled Corn for Forage. I have had a great deal of experi ence with corn as forage for stock, whether for feeding green as it is cut from day to day, or cured and stacked away as we do fodder. I have tried the broadcast sowing, raising heavy crops of green blades, and found that though its bulk is considerable, its quality as food is very indifferent.— Sown in drills about as thick as hunch beans are sown, leaving plenty of room between the drills for ligfit and air to penetrate, and cultivated, so as to keep down the grass and weeds, I do not know a much better forage plant, provided it be cut at the proper time, that is, not before it has bloomed. If the corn be intended iofeed green to stock during the summer—for “soiling” as the technical term is—it is necessary to make several plantings, so as to have a succession of forage at the proper state of ripeness during the season* Iu this way cows may be kept in full milk and in good condi tion when the pastures begin to fail in the extreme hot weather- But if it be intended to raise forage to cure and stow away in the barn or loft, one sowing in drills will answer : and the earlier this is done the better, so that the forage may be fit to cut when the dry, hot weather will be most favorable for rapid and uninter rupted curing of stalks and blades.— The stalks contain the greatest amount of nutritive matter, and the blades are in the best condition when the flowers are passing away and the ear is begin ning to form. And for this reason the sowing must not be too thick, because and greatly uegleeted, as also the surroun- j H deprived of air and light the stalks ding grounds, an interesting comment up on the religion of that people as to sacred places. The vaults or extensive arches uuder the plaiforn on the south side, are exceedingly interesting, and supposed to be of the time of bolomou. I have twice explored the extensive quarries under Jerusalem, which bear marks of quarrying as distinct as though of yesterday. They extend probably to the temple, and no doubt were used for the great temple of 1,000 B. C. They are difficult of exploring, as one has in many places to crawl on hands and feet I have been to Jericho, and bathed in Jor dan, as well as the dead Sea, in which I was borne up like a cork. Have visited Bethany, Bethlehem, and Hebron, where Abraham was buried, also the pools of Solomon, &c., &c., and in fact every place of interest hereabouts, and next week start oveiland for the Sea of Galilee, Naz areth, &c., &c., to Beyrout, and again to Damascus, where I am in hopes of join ing a paity for Palmyra, and on my return will go to Smyrna, Constantinople, &c., &c., and thence to Greece, Albania, Mon tenegro, &c. The weather is beautiful in Palestine; flowers are in bloom, and all nature is in its most georgeous array, where tiiere is an opportunity ot being »o. Under the Turkish Government everything is left to decay, and nothing is repaired or renew ed, consequently lias a neglected appear ance. Make the Most of Home.—Let the front part of the house be thrown open and the most convenient, agreeable aud pleasant room in it be selected as the family room. Let its doors be ever open, and when the work of the kitchen is com pleted, let mother and daughter be found there, with their appropriate work. Let it be consecrated to neatness, purity, and truth. Let no hat ever be seen ou the head of its owner ; let no coatlees individ ual be permitted to enter it. If father’s head is bald —and some there are in that predicament—his daughter will be proud to see bis temples covered by the neat and graceful silken cap that her hands have fashioned for him. If the coat he wears by day is too heavy for the eve~ uing, calicoes are cheap and so is cotton wadding. A lew shillings put into that daughter’s hand will insure him the most comfortable wrapper in the world; and if his boots are hard and the nails cut mother’s carpet, a bushel of wheat once in three years will keep him in slippers of the easiest kiud. Let that table which has always stood under the looking-glass against the wall, be wheeled into the room, its leaves raised, aud plenty of use ful—not ornamental—books and periodi cals be laid upon it. When evening comes, bring on the lights, and plenty of them, tor sons and daughters, all who will come and be most willing students. They will read, they will learn, they will discuss the subjects of their studies with each other, and parents will often be qnite as much instructed as their children. will not contain those elements which lorrn the ear, and will consequently lack nutritious power. In saving corn fodder I have found the following the best way : I gather in botli arms, taking them by the tons, as many stalks as I can hold, and tie them together to a central stalk, then cut them off near the ground, except the one to which they are tied, and let them stand thus in the row. In this way the ground does not touch the blade, the air passes freely through the bundles, which are not liable to fall dowD, and the action ot the snn is equal over all. In case of wet weath er, too, the water runs off easily, the blades do not absorb it as when tied iu bundles and thrown on the ground to dry, and when the sun comes out, dry readily, leaving no mildew or mold. I have followed this plan for several years, and have never failed to save my corn forage, of which I raise a con siderable quautity every year. Nacoochee Valley, Georgia, March, 1872.

Perhaps no one medi cine is so universally re quired by everybody as a cathartic, nor was ever any before so universal ly adopted into nse, in every country and among ail classes, as this mild but efficient purgative Pitt. The obvious rev son is, that it is a more re liable and far more effec tual remedy than any other. Those who have tried it, know that it cured them; those who have not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends, and all know that what it does once it does always — that it never fails through any fault or neglectof its composition. We have thousands upon thou sands of certificates of their remarkable cures of the following complaints, but such cures are known in every neighborhood, and we need not publish them. Adapted to all ages aud conditions in all climates; containing neither calomel or any deleterious drug, they may be taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves them ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take, while being purely vegetable no harm can arise from their nse in any quantity. They operate by their powerful influence on the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy action — remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring tlieir irregular action to health, ami by correcting, wherever they exist, such derange ments as are the first origin of disease. Minute directions are given in the wrapper on the box, for the following complaints, which these Pill, rapidly cure: — For Dyspspiia or Indigestion, Lfitleu- lsn, Languor and Loss of Appetite, they should be taken moderately to stimulate the stom ach and restore its healthy tone and action. For Liver Complaint and its various symp toms, illlious Headache, Nick Headache, Jaundice or Careen Nickness, Bilious Colic and Bilious Fevers, they should Ire ju diciously taken for each case, to correct the diseased action or remove the obstructions which cause it. For Dysentery or Diarrhoea, but one mild dose is generally required. For Rheumatism. Goat, 6ravel. Palpi tation of the Heart, Bain in the Side, Buck and Loins, they should be continuously taken, as required, to ohaugo the diseased action of the system. With such change those complaints disappear. For Bropsy and Dropsical Swellings they should lie taken iu large and frequent doses to pro duce the effet of a drastic, purge. For Suppression a large dose should be taken as it produces the desired effect by sympathy. As a Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to pro mote digestion and relieve the stomach. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and bowels int > healthy action, restores the appetite, and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad vantageous where no serious derangement exists. One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a dose of these Pills makes him feel decidedly better, from their cleansing aud renovating effect on the diges tive apparatus. DR. J. C.

Peter rair in the city ot Milledgeville, aDd on |‘*IB the oorner of the same square nearest t» the center of the city, and on the maiu street leading from Mid way into the city. It is a valuable lot. For pnee aad terms apply to JAMBg c BO WER, Agent, , 41 fit] Irwinton, Qofirgi*, No one remedy is louder called for by the necessities of the American people than * a sure and safe cure for Fever and Agne. Such we are now enabled to offer, with a perfect certainty that it will eradicate the disease, and with assur ance, founded on proof, that no harm can arise from its use in any quantity. That which protects from or prevents this disorder must be of immense service in the communities where it prevails. Prerention is better than cure; for the patient escapes the risk which he must run in violent attacks of this baleftxl distemper. Tills “ Cure ” expels the miasmatic poison of Fever and Agrnn from the system, and prevents the develop ment of the disease, if taken on the first • approach of its premonitory symptoms. A great superiority of this remedy over any other ever discovered for the speedy and cer tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no Quinine or mineral; consequently it pro duces-no quinism or other injurious effects whatever upon the constitution. Those cured by it arc left as healthy as if they had never inui the disease. Fever and Ague is not alone the con sequence of the miasmatic poison. A great variety of disorders arise from its irritation, among which are Menralgia, Rheuma tism, Don*, Headache, Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen, Hysterica, Pain in tha Bowels. Colic, Paralysis, and derange ment of the Stomach, all of which, when originating in this cause, put on the inter mittent type, or become periodical. This “CURE” expels the poison from the blood, and consequently cures them all alike. It is an invaluable protection to immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily residing in the malarious districts. If taken occasion ally or daily while exposed to the infection, that will be excreted from the system, and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into disease. Henco it is even more valuable for protection than cure; aud few will ever suffer from Intermittents if they avail themselves of the protection this rem edy affords. For Liver Complaints, arising from torpid ity of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulating the LiTer into healthy activity, and producing many truly remarkable cures, Where other medicines foil.
