When sunshine o’er earth's verdant breast, Pours out its radiant gold. And gilds thr hills, and paints the trees With magic touches bold, Wy soul drinks draughts of calm delight, That alt my senses fill: Then nature's golden voices deep My quivering pulses tbnll. Wh en winds art stirred with angry howls, With tumults loud and hoarse, Wrapping the sun in clouds of gloom. Loosing the lightning’s force. In gleaming, forked tongues of flame— When maddened oceans reel. Then wild suhlimely golden tones Through coral soul-depths peal. When ebon night hangs o'er the world. Her woudrous starry fold, And Dian pale through rushing clouds Walks like a huntress bold, Sad Mem ry wulks, and opes the door, And waves her phantom hand; Oli then the golden voices dear Sweep from the spirit laud! Voices that speak from friends who once Were treasured jewels here In earth’s rich peiishing cabinet ; Rut now, in loftier sphere, Swell out in heavenlier tones than earth’s Most charmed symphonies, And forge, with golden music’s bars, Links bfting us to skies.

His green aisles resound with note's ring. His giant slopes flushing with flow era. His wild torrents rushing o'er grey battling tow* 1 ers, Till golden-lmired summer, with soft, languid beam Changes loud roaring billow to low singing stream. Serenely he stands, without shade or alloy, "A thing of bright b- auty, forever a joy” Now autumn flings o'er him her Boft, dreamy light; The frost king with stealthy tread steals through the night. He marshals his hosts, and their banners unfold, Of orange, and purple, and crimson and gold : Old winter rides torlh on his cloud ma tied car, Mad shrieking, loud crashing, his demons of war Kush down on the legions with thundering tread, Aud the hosts with their tanners iie scalteied and dead. The grey mo ning breaks, to his covert night flies. And the shadowy mist-wreaths ascend to the s' ies To the Democratic Party of Cteorgia* By a resolution adopted by vour Executive Committee, a Convention of the Democratic party is called to assemble in the city of Atlanta, on tbe 26th day of June next at 10 o'clock A. M., in the Hall of the House of Representatives. The Committee, by another resolu tion, directed its chairman “ to issue an address to the party, giving expres sion to the views of the Committee, and explanatory of its present action.” In accordance with this resolution, I have the honor to submit a few words for your consideration : You will perceive that the time fixed lor the assembling of the Con vention is in the latter part of June, about two weeks before the day of the meeting of the General Convention of the party at Baltimore. This was deemed best, as it would give the dele gates to Atlanta the advantage of a knowledge of the prior action of the Conventions of the other States, and of the circumstances which could throw light upon the political situa tion, and at the same time give ample opportunity to the delegates to the General Convention, selected at Atlan ta, to reach Baltimore by the 9th of July. The committee, in the call for the Convention, specify but one purpose for its assembling: “ To select dele gates to the National Democratic Con vention to meet in Baltimore on the 9th of July next.” It was deemed inexpedient, at the time of the meetiug of your commit tee, to include in the objects of the Convet tion the nomination of a candi date for Governor. At that time a bill was pending before the Congress of the United States to remove the disabilities of citizens disfranchised by the fourteenth amendment of theCon- | stituiion. It was not known whether j that bill would become a law before j the time of the assembling of the State ' Convention. The committee, there fore, deemed it proper, and only just to the people, to postpone any notni nation of a candidate for Governor until a time when it would be certain whether or not the field of choice would be enlarged. In addition to this, it was evident that another convention of the Demo cracy of the State must be called to assemble alter the Convention at Baltimore, to receive the report and consider the action of the dele gates to that Convention, and per haps to nominate Presidential electors. This latter Convention can, also, make a nomination of a candidate for Gov ernor, under circumstances, and with the light of events to guide them, which would not, perhaps, exist prior to the Convention at Baltimore. The committee by its resolutions have called upon you to renew and perfect your party organizations in power be retained by the apparent will of the people at the next elec tion, a centralized and consolidated despotism is to be expected. In that event, who can foresee the evils to be inflicted on the people of the South? It is true, that such a victory will, eventually, in the course of time, re sult in great evil to the whole Union. But, first and foremost, immediately and practically, the Southern people will suffer. It is for us, then, through the proper diiection of the strength of the Democratic party, to work out aud secure future safety. We earnestly urge that wc all await the action of the Baltimore Conven tion, and not- submit ourselves irrevo cably, in the meantime, to any course of conduct. Confide in our chosen and selected agents; and if their ac tion should be consistent with honor and principle, as it will be, let our own peculiar notion of policy be sacrificed on the altar of our common interest and our common safety. Day by day throws additional light ou the circum stances surrounding us. No man can safely say what conclusion he may reacn as to his proper course a month from to day. Iu the meantime, dec larations of intention produce discus sion ; discussion is stimulated into an tagonism ; and finally, when the time for action arrives, pride of opinion, ex pressed and vindicated in argument prevents our decisiou according to the dictates of our enlightened judgment. We ask for reservation of opinion and harmony of action to secure the safety of us all. Let us remember that the approaching contest is for the preservation of the great principles ol Constitutional Liberty. So far as we are concerned, this next President ial election will decide their fate aud and ours. They have been saved in times as dark as the present. From the day when they were originally wrested from an English tyrant by the Th« Pro© Trade or Revenue Reform j which may recommend itself to you as Movement. j best—first, to nominate at once, at For several days past there have your meeting, candidates for President beeu evidences of a movement on the part of the Revenue Reformers or anti-tariff men who composed the principle element of respectability and strength in the late Cincinnati Convention to retaliate upon the Greeley politicians for the fraud prac ticed upon them in that body. The idea of a convention for the nomina tion of a candidate opposed to Grant upon whom the Democrats might unite with the Liberal Republicans, originated with the Free Traders.— The intrigues by which Horace Gree ley, the most radical protectionist and the most inveterate enemy of Democ racy in the Union was nominated, has been openly denounced by the Liberal press, and as is shown by the resolu tions adopted at the Steinway Hall meeting, it has been determined to re pudiate the action of the Cincinnati Convention and place a new ticket in the field. This purpose is most em phatically declared iu the following article from the New York Post, the influential and able organ of the Free Traders : no more conventions. The horrible plot to which we re ferred the other day, of making an anti-caucus nomination for the Presi dency, has at last come to a head. The Steinway Hall Committee, ap pointed on Thursday evening, will soon take steps iookiug towards the selection of a new candidate. Be sides this Committee theie are nume rous other forces in motion, which are all moving in the same direction. Be fore the Baltimore Convention meets there will be three tickets in the field. The first effect of this action of the Revenue Reformers is already begin ning to be seen in the movements of the politicians. The political wire puller, the political log-roller and the and Vice President; or, second, call a meeting of representative men to make nominations at Steinway Hall for some day later than the 27th of June. “ We will pledge ourselves to heart ily co-operate with you in such action, or iu any other course that you may adopt, to secure the end of placing a ticket in the field that shall fuhy rep resent the principles embodied iu the platform adopted by the Reunion and Reform Convention recently held at Cincinnati.” It will he observed that the signers of this communication, among whom are several prominent members of the Cincinnati Convention, not only urge upou the New York meeting to put a new ticket in nomination, but pledge themselves to heartily co-operate with them in any such action, or in any other course they might adopt for the placing of an acceptable ticket in the field. Do we need any better evidence of tbe weakness of Greeley even among the Liberal Republicans? And does not this movement on their part indicate that the true men among them would unite in the support of an acceptable Democratic nominee upon a sound constitutional platform in op position to Greeley or Grant t YE DOliRFCL I.AMENT OP A OIAMAI.

We mean bv this that, _~1 I . __ • in our judgment, the Democratic par- | ty should not, under any circumstauces, be disbanded. Its principles are the only true interpretation of the consti- i tution, and their successful mainten- i ance affoids the only means for the preservation of the rights of the States ! and the liberty and protection of the indiv idual citizen. We have no appre hension that these principles will be in anywise abandoned or ignored by the action of the General Convention at Baltimore. On the contrary, we indulge the earnest hope, amounting to a confident assurance, that the Conven tion will reassert and proclaim anew the adhesion of the Democratic party to the principles of constitutional gov ernment which present condition ol the country and the experience of the Southern States during the last seven roll, Like shadows of doubt th*t encircle the soul; Like a gian 1 uprising- the sun rules the day, And his flashing glance chases the shadows away; So Fa-th. eagle-eyed and with beckoning hands Ou the mountain’s proud summit triumphantly stands.

Time and again they have seemed to be overwhelmed in the tu mults of temporary revolutions, or des troyed by the vacillating changes of popular will. Time aud again the haud of some Tudor or Stuart, or the power of some Star-Chamber, or the grasp of some military despotism, has seemed to crush them into dust. But each time the example of some Hamp den, or the sacrifice of some Lee has proved to the world that they still ex isted, and claimed their followers and apostles. Let us unite together as a party, and with all its friends, by whatever name called, save these great princi ples of Constitutional Libeity! Respectfully submitted lor the Com mittee.

From the Charlotte N. C. Daily Dispatch, “The Nereid. ” A Southern Book.—From the gifted autlioiebs a la<iy of Georgia, we have this entertaining and well written novel. It was writ .i and published in Georgia, and isfek athern in conception, execution and .ipie- tion. life fair authoress, Mrs. tV\ G. McAdoo, is the daughter of Gen. U. K. Floyd, who figured prominently some y ears since, in the field, in politics and in society, in Southeastern Georgia, and is a worthy scion ot so illustrious a house. We have read many of her Magazine articles and minor pieces, and was prepared to welcome this bantling into the household ol stand ard literature—hut we confess our anticipations have been more than re alized. The scenes are laid in that portion of Georgia with which the authoress was most familiar in times before the war, and her vivid portraiture ot the customs, and incidents ol life, scenery and marked characteristics of the peo ple, are graphic and will ever stamp he/as a writer of wouderlul powers of delineation. The scenes sflilt to England, to the Continent, aud ulti mately to Rome. The plot is admi rably conceived, executed with power, and the interest thrillingly kept up to the denouement. The style is classic, shows familiarity with the best au thors, aud the sentiment pure as the icicle which bangs on Dian’s Temple, and as fragraut as the violets of her own Southern home. We commend this book to our read ers as another evidence of the genius, high culture and refinement of the women of our sunny land. Rests the crimson and gold of the cloud s sunset y ear8i prove to be the only foundation j for the prosperity of the whole Union, and the renewal of anything like fra ternal relations among the people of its different sections. Nor do we bolieve that Convention will recommend or for an instant con template the I’issolution of the Demo cratic party as an organization. What may be its pdicy as to nominating candidates for President and Vice President cannot uovv be with cer tainty foreseen. It may be that the Con vention, composed as we trust and be lieve it will be, of men of patriotism, wisdom and experience, will consider it good policy to make no party nomi nations for the Presidential election. But, even if this be the result of its deliberations, we feel convinced that the party organization will be main tained equally with the party princi ples. For whateverour party may do, iu order to be effective, should be done as a solid body, and with united efforts. Therefore your committee do most earnestly urge upon you the necessity for organization and united action in each and every county. Send your delegates to Atlanta, and let the uni- nited wisdom of the party select dele gates to wiiom can be entrusted the guidance ot your action in tbe ap proaching election, the result of which must be your restoration to the fair and full proportions of free citizens of a republic, or your consignment to a condition more burdened with oppres sions than any you have yet endured. And in this connection your com mittee desire most earnestly to urge upon you the necessity for harmony of feeling and concert of action among all the friends of Constitutional Lib erty. We deprecate most sincerely any rash or uuadvised declaration of future course of individual action by members of the party. The juncture of affairs now upon us is more impor tant, more pregnant with results for good or evil to our country, and espe cially to the people of the Southern States, than perhaps any which will again occur in generations. Upon a prudent, careful, well considered ac tion of the Democratic party depends the future character of this Govern ment. If the administration now in The New York World and scores of Democratic papers in that State say that three Democrats will remain at home for each Radical that supports Greeley. Hon. Jeremiah Black, of Pennsylvania, replied to a Greeley editor in Washington, to the question, “ Do you believe the Democracy will take up and endorse the nomination V” “ Judging from the feeling in my own district in Pennsylvania, 1 should say not. 1 know of but one Democrat willing to sustain Greeley, aud, by the by, no Republican.” Prominent New Jersey leadersassert that under no circumstances will the masses iu that State vote for him. The same account comes from Maryland, Delaware, Georgia, Alabama; and vve know the feeling iu Iudiana to he so bitter that those who are entitled to credit, assert the State to be good for Grant against Greeley by 50,0U0 ma jority. Now, if we could asseut to an entire stultification by abandonment of poli tical principles and the consequent dis- bandoumeut and destruction of our own party, the “ condition precedent” demanded by the few Radical editors who support Mr. Greeley, what possi ble beuetit can the people derive lrom alibis promises? His defeat wouid be absolutely certain. Iu New York only his own paper, the Sun, and Wilkes’ Spirit oj the Times, indorse him upon the Radical side. In New Jersey, Delaware, Mary land, aud the entire South, not a Re publican paper has raised its voice in his behalf. In Pennsylvania not a Radical, and only two Democratic pa pers among the press of the State. In Ohio only the Commercial. In Indiana uone. Iu Illinois the Chicago Tribune aud Springfield Republican. Where is his strength ? There is nothing in his past record to make Democrats anxious to support him; there is no hope of success even to sugar-coat the bitter pill presented. Shall we desert “ the substance for a shadow?” I, and those who think with me are not schismatics. But for the demoralization produced by “ new departures,” “ passivism,” aud “ Gree- leyism,” we should have settled all issues by the only authoritative expo nent, our National Convention, and our nominees wouid triumphantly have achieved a victory. It is not too late yet to enforce discipline and organiza tion to accomplish those results, aud to permit the withdrawal from our midst, without detriment, those “mauy presses and leaders who have commit ted themselves to the Greeley and Brown ticket” too deeply “ to draw out of it.” Blanton Duncan. Louisville, May 25, 1872. The reports from the wheat crop in Middle Georgia are very encouraging. Twenty and three-quarter bushels to the acre is anuounced ia some favored localities. ago were pretty confident that they understood the situation, are begin ning to have their doubts. They have a keen scent, but now they are run ning over the grouud completely at fault. They thought that the divis ion of the spoils certainly lay be tween Grant aiid Greeley. Now it is uncertain whether this calculation may not have been wrong, and the un certainty begins to alarm them des perately. They must have office and tliey must have protection, and who is going to have these desirable things in his gift it is becoming difficult to say. There is probably nothing that the politicians would now hail with so much delight as the announcerneut that there was to be another reform convention. One they have already captured; in a few days they will have another, which has capitulated iu advance. Next month a third is coming off, and if only one other could he held meantime, they would be perfectly contented. The real reformers, in getting rid of the Greeley faction, got rid of their most formidable enemies, and now stand free to declare their real choice tor the Presidency, unhampered by the claims of availability or greed for office. They have lost something in numerical support, but they have gained much more in the clear defini tion the split has given to their prin ciples, and the proof it has afforded of their firmness. It is to the last degree desirable that this condition of things shall continue Let it be understood that the Reform ers will have nothing more to do with politicians. Let tbe public under stand why it is that we will hold no more conventions. As we said the other day, the convention lias ceased to be a deliberative assembly, and has become a mere piece of political ma chinery. What with pig-iron rings, flax rings, administration rings and railroad rings, the people are no more represented by the delegates to con ventions than the feelings of the ani mal world would be represented in a convention composed of circus-owners, stable-men and menagerie proprietors. The new nomination must be made by representative men of character aud influence, their number is of small consequence. Their names must be such as carry weight with the com munities they represent, and be a guaranty that it is not office or pri vate emolument they are seeking, but the real welfare of their country. There is one other hiut that we would throw out. The Reform cam paign will have to be chiefly conduct ed, as all campaigns now are, through the Press, and it is of great impor tance that the declaration of princi ples of the Reformers should be writ ten in plain English, and not in the weak, shuffling style of the Cincinna ti platform, or even in the manner of the Free-Trade call for the late meet ing. Let it be written by some one whose choice of words is governed by the desire to express, not conceal, his thoughts. A terse, pointed address to the people would be half the battle. The Reunion and Reform Party Opposed to Greeley.—A very formid able meeting of the Free Trade League, presided over by W. Cullen Bryant, was held in New York on Thursday, at which the nomination of Greeley by the Cincinnati Convention was de nounced as a fraud upon the iuaugura- tors of the Liberal Republican move ment, aud especially upon the friends of Free Trade. To this meeting a com munication was addressed, signed by leading liberal Republicans and Demo crats of Cincinnati, in which they urg ed energetic atrtion on the part of those opposed to the electioa of either Grant or Greeley. The letter concludes as follows. “ We hope that you will not fail to initiate suoh action. We suggest that you take either of the two oourses O Htrain UIvmm, comeback to your dad, For the clock on tlie steeple strike! two, San Domingo's “gone up,” and tbe Dents have gone mad, And time swear it's all over with you.

But his blood was up, and both monkey and rider kept their seats amid the mi bounded laughter and applause of the admiring throng. Sad to relate, it waa not the last time iu his life that the great and magnanimous Kuigkt ot Galena was—,nontcey ridden.

The people will not suhscrioe and the bus iness men will not advertise. There have been more business men failed iu Atlanta than any city in the Uuited States. The merchants and people have less energy and pride in a litera ry way than any other people. They are the most selfish people in the world. There will not be any paper printed in Atlanta in a few months more, except the Constitution, nor should there be, is a fixed iact. The people are not worthy of a newspa per, and no man who is capable of running a paper should waste his time and talent ou such a people. They should be’leftin tbe dark where they be long, to grope their way after the al mighty dollar, which they worship, and lumber on down to the devil, where they will surely go. I am done with the newspaper bus iness in Atlanta now and forever. Rough Rice. Different Styles of tiif. Proph ets.—All the sacred writers, inspired by tlie same spirit, treating tbe same subject, acting under a divine iuflu- euce, each uniformly exemplify, in the peculiarity ot his style, the character of his mind. Who can fail to perceive that the character of the mind of Isaiah was sublimity? He is always an eagle in his flight—never losing sight of the sun—uever stopping in his career. Stripped of his poetical garb, and arrayed in the plainest dress by a literal translation into another language than his own, his book re tains its grandeur alloyed, yet easily distinguishable; and he moves with princely port, under all tlie disadvan tages ot an humble investment. Tne mind ol Jeremiah was cast in the mold of tenderness. Far less sub lime than the prophet who preceded him, be is much more pathetic; and it is impossible to read the language in which he deplores the ruin of his coun try, without feeling our hearts melt ed, aud mingling our tears with those of the patriot. Ezekiel, possessing neither of these qualities to the greatest extent as the others, is distinguished for tlie force and tire of his appeals. Neither of these is greater than the other as an inspired writer; all were influenced by the same spirit ot trutb^all were clothed with the same authority—all demanded the same submission to their awful messages; but each displayed tbe qualities of bis own mind iu the character of his style.—Dr. Collycr. The ladies will hardly believe it, but tbe bats they wear are patterned ex actly after those worq in 1930 California Orchards. The orange, almond, olive, English wal nut, lemon, lime, and citron, are the fruits to which attention has been, for two or three years, specially directed in the coun tries of Santa Barbara, Los Angelos, San Bernadino. and San Diego in Southern California. Santa Barbara has a long, narrow strip of sea coast, fronting south, which is believed to be fitted for the cul ture of the almond, which in Los Angelos is found to be sometimes hurt by a late frost. The almond is also grown in shel tered spots in the Napa Valley, north of San Francisco, but we believe it is there an uncertain crop. Several gentlemen living near Santa Barbara have originated seedlings of their own which are very mnch liked. The ahnoud thrives best in a san dy loam, and at five years after planting may be expected to yield 12 ponuds to the tree, or 1,200 pounds per acre, which at 20 cents per pound would give $240 per aero. No disease troubles the tree of Sants Barbara, but the squirrel and gopher destroy it when it is young, and tbe form er sometimes robs the tree. These, how ever, are easily driven out by poison, and preseverance; one man’s labor suffices to keep in order 20 or even 30 acres of trees. When they are ripe, the almonds fall to the ground, and the husk falls off of itself, or is easily picked of!. The olive, of which is the oldest and one of the finest groves in the State is at the San Diego Mission, is propagated by cuttings. It grows slowly at first, begins to bear at four years, under fvaroable cir cumstance*. but does not yield a full crop until the tenth or eveu the twelfth year. It should then return an average, for the orchard, of 25 gallons of olives per tree. Sixty trees are planted to the acre, by the most experienced men. Tbe olives are sold at Santa Barbara at this time for 60 cents per gallon in tbe orchard, aud the few olive groves now in full bearing at that rate, are worth, gross $900 per annum. As it is more profitable to make the fruit into oil than to pickle them, the former course is taken. The machinery for pressing the oil is very simple aud usually stands under a shed in the orchard ; the pulp is crushed from the pits, and stuffed into strong rope nets, which are then pressed, the oil run ning down iuto a tub of clean water, on the surface of which it collects. Sauta Barbara is likely to become the center of this culture. Tbe English walnut near Los Angelos, San Bernardino and Santa Barbara shows itself as a stately, magnificent tree, with clean, grayish bark, and wide- spreading branches. It is, like our own black walnut, a tree of slow growth, and does not begin to bear until it is seven or eight years of age. At twelve years, with thorough culture and irrigation, it bears from 50 to 75 pounds of nuts; at fif teen years from 100 to 150 pounds ; thirty trees may stand on one acre, and it is customary here to plant almond trees be tween the rows of walnuts, which pay the cost of cultivation and a handsome profit, and are cut down when the walnuts begin to cover the ground. The nuts sold this year for 12£ cents per pound, in Los An geles. One man can easily care for thiity acres. The lemon, which becomes a stately, far-spreading tree, bears in ten years a valuable crop. It is not yet planted in orchards to a great extent; one tree, ten years old, which I saw in Los Augeles, yielded 600 lemons; one fifteen years old bore 2,000 lemons. They bring in Sau Francisco $30 per 1,000. Los Angeles is the center of the orange culture of this State. The tree grows well, in all Southern California, wherever water can be had for irrigation. It does best nearest the mountains, among the foot hills, probably because it gets there a more uniform temperature. Sixty or ange trees are commonly planted to the acre. They may be safely transplanted at three or even four years, if care is used to keep the air from the roots. It begins to bear in from six to eight years from the seed, and yields a crop for market at ten years. Upon examination, it has been found that at 15 years from tbe seed, or 12 years from the planting of three-year old trees, an orange orchard which has been faithfully cared for, and is favorably sit« uated, will bear an average of 1,000 oranges to the tree. This would give, at $20 per 1,000—a low average—a product of $1,200 per acre. One man can care for 20 acres of such an orchard; and every other ex pense, including picking, boxes, shipping, and commissions in San Francisco, is cov ered by $5 per 1,000. The net profit per acre would, therefore, be a trifle less than $900. The oldest trees in the orchards are now bearing very little less than 2,- 000 oranges to the tree. The best culti« vators do not prune the tree at all; but in all oichards willow poles are used to prop np tbe overladen branches. A care ful horticulturist near Los Angelos had, as parts of bis last year’s crop, 250.000 oranges, 50.000 lemons, 25,000 pounds of walnats, Ac., Ac. He thinks his success due to deep aud thorough cultivation, and regular irrigation. He irrigates, all his trees once iu every six weeks, and plows or hoes after every irrigation. One man on his place, and with his system, can care for 20 acres of orchard; one man can pick 5,000 oranges in a day. He buys the shooks and makes his own boxes, and al so h : s own wine casks. His whole fotce consists of 15 men, of whom the plowmen are Indians some others are Chinese. The orange ripens iu December, when they be gin to pick. It hangs on the tree, and gets sweeter, until the next Fall, but is in perfection in April; and it increases in size as long as it remains on the tree. This circumstance, and the other that it bears transportation so well, give it great value. Tbe orange-grower has at least five months in which he may market his crop, and Los Angelos oranges have been sent to Boston, overland, and arrived in good order. Experienced cultivators say that they believe themselves able to com pete with Florida, France, Italy and the Pacific Islands; and thus have not only the heme market, but the whole world; and tbe present profit is so enormous that there is a large margin for a fall in prices. Whether all this is true or not, it is certain that not only small farmers, but capital ists are turning their attention to this busi ness. In Santa Barbara and Los Angelos counties, a large number of small fortunes, as well as farmers, may be found deliber ately giving money aud time to the for mation of orange, lemon, and nut orchards. They say, “We will work and wait for eight or ten years, in order that at the end we shall hare a small fortune, to make oar latter years easy and if a man may, in ten years, from twenty acres secure him self a regular income of ten or even five thousand dollars per annum, with a tri fling labor and care, these persons woulij seem to be wise.
