44 Oli, don’t do that Hill I am dead l”
BY CHARLES B. JORDAN.
On th*> day of the meeting of the secessionists
at Kingston, Georgia, in 1850, a revolutionary sol
dier returned to his residence iu Cobb county, on
tbe railroad, though his eves were so dim that he
could not very well see. He was told they were
trying to get up the people to dissolve or secede
trom the Union. Whereupon he dropped his
withered face, and seemed to be in deep distress
lor one or two minutes, after which lie raised up
his head, and with a faltering voice said, “Oh,
don’t do that ’till lam dead !” While he uttered
these words, the large tears chased each other
down Ilia way worn cheeks. He was told that a
great number of men would try to prevent them,
to which he replied, “ Don’t let them do that ’till
Um dead !”
This touching appeal, by a strange coincidence,
might have been appropriately reiterated to those
who for similar purposes, met at the same spot in
IB6o—just ten years later:
Ol R noble Union—let it stand,
Nor one proud star its banner shed ;
But should it fall by traitor’s hand,
“ Don’t let them do it ’till I’m dead !”
In youth my father’s hearth was void,
For its defence in? arm outspread,
And now that it must be destroy’d,
“ Oh, don’t do that ’till I am dead 1”
Thus spake an old and wither’d man,
Whose bended lorn* aud whiten’d head,
Proclaim’d hint one of freedom’s clan,
Who had, perchance, at Yorktown bled.
Y'es! palsied be the hearts that sprang
From revolutionary stock.
Who dare to show disunion’s fang,
And our great Magna Charta mock.
Could but an unction from the souls
Os those who fought at freedom’s birth,
Possess the hearts that wrath controls,
And sweep away ambitiou’s deartji,
Then ne’er again should honor’d age
Its wannest orisons repeat,
That nought upon our country’s page.
Should mark the path of traitor’s feet..
Thrice glorious constellation rise,
Let not thy smallest star be dim,
Admit no comet in disguise,
With mad disorganizing whim ;
Hut may our spangled tlag still wave,
Oppression’s foe and traitor’s dread,
And thou ! 0! God, vouchsafe to save,
’Till liberty’s last foe is dead.
The Dutchmun’N Experience in Politics.
(showing the love of politicians for the
DEAR PEOPLE.)
“ Mine neighbor Wilhelm, vot you tink of poli
tics, hey V” asked Peter Vot Sin of his neighbor
Von Sweitzel, the Twelfth Ward blacksmith, one
evening as he seated himself in a “ Bierhaus.”
“ I tinks much,” said Sweitzel, giving his pipe a
long whiff.
“ Veil, vot vou tinks .
•• 1 comes to Her conclusion that bolitics is one
big fool.”
“ Ah!” exclaimed Pete, after taking a d-aught
from his mug, “ how do you make him dat ?”
“ Very veil, mine friend, I tell yon,” replied
Sweitzel, after a few whiffs. “ I came to dis place
ten years last evening, by der Dutch Almanac, mit
mine placksmit shop. I builds hue little houses, I
puts up mine hellers, I make mine tire, I heat mine
iron, I strikes mit mine hammer. I gets blenty
work, and I makes monish.”
“ Dat is gooth,” remarked Pete.
“ I say dat I makes much friends,” continued
Wilhelm, re lighting his pipe. “Der peoples all
say, Von Sweitzel bees a good man ; he blows in
der morning, he strikes at night, and lie minds his
business. So dey spraken to me many times, and
it makes me feel much good here,” slapping bis
breast.
“ Yaw, yaw, dat ish gooter,” remarked Pete,
who was an attentive listener.
“ Veil, it goes long dat way tree years. Tree ?
Let me see, one year I make tree hondred dollar;
der next year tree hundred and fifty, der rext four
hondred and swonzev, and der next five hundred
dollar. Dat make five year ; when old Mike, the
watchman, who bees such a bad man, came to me
and say, ‘ Sweitzel, what make you work so hard ?’
“To make monish,” I tell him.
“ I tells you how to make money quicker as dat,”
he says.
“ I ask him how, and den lie tells me to go into
bolitics, and git big office. I laugh at him, ven he
tells me that Shake, the lawyer, dat makes such
burty speeches about Faderland, bees agoing to
run for Congress, and dat Shake, the lawyer, tells
him to tell me, dat if I would go among de peoples
and tell deni to vote mit him all der vile, he would
put me in one big office, where I make twenty
thousand dollar a year.”
“Twenty thousand!” exclaim.xl Pete, thun
derstruck.
“ \"aw, twenty thousand. Veil, I dinks I must
shtop der strikin’ and go to mine frents, and all
de Garmius vote for Shake, and Shake bees elected
for Congress.”
Here Mynheer Sweitzel stopped, and fixing his
eyes on the floor, puffed his pipe as if in deep
thought.
“ Veil, mine neighbor,” said Pete, after waiting
a due length of time for him to resume, “ vot you
do den, eh ?”
“ Veil, I ask Mike, der swell-head watchman, for
dcr office, and he tells me I get him der next year.
I wait until der kroutmakin time, and den I say
again, ‘Mike, ven vill Shake give me dat twenty
thousand dollar office V”
“ In two years, shure,” he say, “if you work for
der party.”
“ Veil, I shtop blowing mine bellers agin and I
blow two years for der party mit mine mout.”
“Two years mit your mout?” asked Peter in
astonishment.
“ Yaw, two years. Den again Igo to Mike, der
swell-head watchman, and I tell him der twenty
thousand dollar about, an’ he tells me in von more
year 1 get him sure. I dinks he fool me, yet I
blow for der party anudder year, and den vat you
dinks?”
“Dinks! vv, you gits him twenty thousand
dollars.”
“ Gits him! by shinks! Mike, der swell-head
watchman, tells me I bees von big fool, and dat I
might go to der bad place, and eat sour-krout.”
“ He tells you dat?”
“ Yaw, sure as my name bees Vou Sweitzel.”
“ And you do der blowiu’ mit your mout for der
party ?”
“ Yaw-”
“ Vat you do d;n, neighbor ?”
“ I makes a tire iu mine placksmit shop, I blows
my own bellers again, I heat mine own iron, and
strikes mit mine hammer. I says to mintwelf,
‘Wilhelm Von Sweitzel, do your own blowin’, ajid
let boliticians do theirs.’ ”
Atples. —There is scarcely an article of vegeta
ble food more widely useful and more universally
loved than the apple. Why every farmer in tht*
nation has not an apple orchard where the trees*
will grow at all, is one of the mysteries. Let eve
ry family lay in from two to ten or more barrels,
aud it will be to them the most economical invest
ment in the whole range of culiuaries. A raw
mellow apple is digested in an hour and a half;
while boiled cabbage requires five hours. The
most healthful dessert which cau be placed on the
table, is a baked apple. If taken at breakfast with
coarse bread and butter, without meat or flesh of
any kind, it has an admirable effect on the general
system, often removing constipation, correcting
acidities, aud cooling off febrile conditions, more
effectually than the most approved medicines. If
families could be induced to substitute the apple,
sound, ripe, and luscious, for the pies, cakes, can
dies, and other sweetmeats with which their chil
dren are too often indiscreetly stuffed, there would
be a diminution iu the sum total of doctors’ b.lls
in a single year, sufficient to lay in a stock of this
delicious fruit for & whole season's use.— Dr.
Hall.

From the Journal orCommerce.
Property in Slaves*.
Messrs. Editors :—Enclosed is a letter from
George Washington'(the signer of the first Fugi
live Slave Law enacted under the Constitution) to
Robert Morris.
Coming, as it does, from the Chairman of the
Convention which framed the Constitution of the
United States, and bearing upon the* main ques
tions of thp day, it is worthy of atteution.
Its language is plain and easy to be understood,
if, perhaps, w e except the referenceßo “ legislative
authority,” which some might confound with Cow
gressional authority, the former being the authori
ty of the individual State-, while the latter is the
collective authority ot all the States, carefully and
jealously limited by our Constitution. TRUTH.
Nelv Y'ore, Oct. 19, 1860.
GEORGE WASHINGTON TO ROBT. MORRIS.
Mount Vernon, 12Ui April, 1786.
Dear £ir: —-I give you the trouble of this letter
at the instance of Mr. Dalby, of Alexandria, who
is called to Philadelphia to attend what he con
ceives to be a vexatious lawsuit respecting a slave
of his, whom a society of Quakers in this city,
formed for such purposes, have attempted to libe
rate. The merits of this case will, no doubt, ap
pear Upon trial. From Mr. Daisy’s statemeut of
the mutter, it should seem that this society ia no
only acting repugnantly to justice, so far as its
conduct concerns strangers, but in my opinion
impoliticly with respect to the State, the city in
particular, witltout being able, except by acts of
t grating and oppression, to accomplish its own ends.
He says the conduct of this society is not sanc
tioned by lau>. Had the case been otherwise, what
ever my opinion of the law wight have been , my
respect for the policy of the State would, on this
occasion, have appeared in my silence; because
against tbe penalties ot promulgated laws one may
guard, but there is no avoiding the snares of indi
viduals, or private societies. If the piactice of
this society, of which Mr. Dalby speaks, is not
discountenanced, none of those, whose misfortune
it is to have slaves as attendants, will visit the city
if they can possibly avoid it; because by so doing
they hazard their property, or they mußt be at the
expense (and this will not always succeed,) of pro
viding servants of another description.
I hope it will not be conceived lrom these obser
vations, that it is my wish to hold the unhappy
people, who are the subject of this letter, iu slave
ry.
I can only say, that there is not a man living,
who wishes more sincerely than I do to see a plan
adopted for the abolition of it; but there is only
one proper and effectual mode by which it can be
accomplished, and that is by legislative authority;
and this, as far as my sufferage will go, shall never
be wanting. But when slaves, who are happy and
contented with their present Masters, are tampered
with and seduced to leave them ; when masters are
taken unawares by these practices; when a con
duct of this kind begets discontent on one side and
resentment on the other ; and when it happens to
fall on a man whose purse will not measure with
that of the society, and he loses his property for
want of means to defend it, it is oppression in such
a case, and not humanity in any , because it intro
duces more evils than it can cure.
I wifi make no apology for writing to you on
this subject, for, if Mr. Dalby has not misconceived
the matter, an evil exists which requires a remedy.
If he has, my intentions have been good, though
I may have been too precipitate in this address. —
Mrs. Washington joins me in every good and kind
wish for Mrs. Morris and your family, and I am, &c.,
GEORGE WASHINGTON.
How to get oct of them. —The New York Sun
says : The police, it i9 said, have at last found out
how to bring a villian to confession. The plan is
to keep the victim in the station house all day,
and at night lock him in a cell. The cell is alive
with bed bugs and vermin of all kinds. Just be
fore the key is turned the prisoner is asked if he
has anything to tell. This is done in a low voice
and amiable manner. If he says “ nothing,” then
the door is locked, and he is left to his fate.
If he survives till morning, he is inquired of,
kindly, how he'lias rested, to which he deigns no
answer, but looks daggers. All day he looks like
a very much abused individual; but as the shades
of evening approach, he is found to be getting
fidgety and very communicative. The culprit be
gins by saying that he has something on his mind.
He wonders if he tells all he knows, and some
things he does not know, whether he shall have
to stay another night in that place of torment.—
He is ready to disgorge and tell the “whole story.”
We often hear it said that this is a knowing age ;
but we think it remained for our police to find
out what bed bugs are made for.
Potatoes at the West. —The Davenport (Iowa)
Democrat says : “If any body wants to see pota
toes by the cord—good measure—let them step
down to the levee. There is not shipping enough
at this time on the Upper Mississippi to move them
away as fast as they accumulate. Farmers com
plain a little that the price is too low, but they are
the only party to blame; if they waut higher pri
ces they must not raise so many. The market
price is from twelve to fifteen ceuts per bushel.”
Mocstan Influence. —Yet—(pardon me, Spirit
of the Prairie!) —what man is there, with liberty
of clioiee, who would be content to live where
there are no mountains ? Who would take as a
gift the famous “hundred-mile prairie” of Illinois
(a farm of that extent of fertile flatness, without a
tenee !) on condition of there taking up his abode?
I have never realized before what a cathedral in
fluence there is in the mountains we dwell near—-
how the sunsets and sunrises are made reverently
sublime by them—how the storms perform glori
ous anthems with the hill-echoes—how the eye,
which is lifted from the valley to the tall peak
whereon rests the thunder-cloud, carries the heart
up with it, in an instinct ol unvoluntary awe! The
mere pruirie-floor seems to me a wilderness with
out an altar—Nature without gallery or dome —
earth without proper cathedral wherein the ele
ments shall, unbidden, worship God.— N. Parker
Willis.
Chaitanooga Vineyards. —By careful inquiry we
have ascertained that the number of acres of Vine
yards, in full bearing, within a few miles of this
city, is about forty. Os this number more than
half is on the plantation of Col. Boyce, cultivated
by Mr. Severin, and the balance is divided among
Messrs. Brabson, Massengale, Gray, McFarland,
Alexander and Phillips & Smith. The wine product
from these vines will perhaps reach ten thousand
gallons the present year. In addition to this there
are probably in the same scope of country not less
than fifty acres planted in vines of one and two
years growth. It will thus be seen that wine-grow
ing is becomiug a considerable item of production
in our vicinity. We believe also that the expecta
tions of those engaged in the business as to quali
ty and quantity of the vintage have been fully met.
[ Chattanooga A dverliser.
Objections to a Large Salary. —Ministers in
our day rarely object to an increase of salary, but
we find in an exchange a capital story of an old
Connecticut pastor, who declined it for very sub
stantial reasons:
His country parish raised his salary from three
hundred to lour hundred dollars. The good man
objected, for three reasons.
“ First,” said he, “ because you can’t afford to
give more than three hundred.”
“ Second, because my preaching isn’t worth
more than that.”
“Third, because I have to collect my salary,
which heretofore has bees the hardest part of my
labors among you. If I have to collect an addi
tional hundred, it will kill me.” *
The Portland Argus of the 17th instant, in
noticing the arrival of the British Naval Squadron
in that harbor, says:
“it fe just eighty-five years ago to-day that a
British fleet entered our harbor, but for how differ
ent a purpose from that of the present one. Then
they caiue to burn and destroy. Now they come
to convey back to his native land their future
Sovereign, who, in his journey through the Union,
has received ovations from the descendants of
those with whom his country was, at that time, at
war.” -
A New York paper describes anew ploughing
machine, by which it is said that three furrows
e&cli a foot wide and a foot deep, are not only turned

operation being something like worming a screw

I the eaitth flying around in a circle, and that of the

The Goveraar ol IQissouri for Ooiiflai.
Some days since a iuib representation of Gover.
por Jackson’s position, in relation to the candi
dates for the Presidency, was concocted and circu
lated by the BredkinriJge papers. They stated
that Gov. Jackson had announced himself in favor
of the election of Breckinridge, but Gov. Jackson,
himself, says “ I will vole for Douglas.”
Gov. Jackson, on the 2nd inst., made a speech
at St. Louis, Missouri, in the course of which lie
said:
“ I stated emphatically before the recent election
that I believed that Mr. Douglas was the nominee
of the Democratic party, and I believe so now.—
I endeavored to secure harmonious action between
the Democratic Central committee and the Breck
inridge and Lane Democratic State convention,
and regretted the failure to do so. I challenge
auy mail preseut to say that I uttered any remark
iii the Breckinridge convention indicating I had
changed or desigued supporting Breckinridge and
Lane.”
Major Jackson then gave bis reasons for suppoi t
tng Douglas, saying:
“To prevent all misrepresentation, I now say
that I am for Douglas, and that I think that it is
my duty to support him as the nominee of the
party. If I live until November 1 will vote for
Douglas, and I have never said that I intended
anything else.” [Applause.]

The Prince in Richmond, Va.— His Royal
Highness arrived in Richmond on Saturday eve
ning week, a little after dark, and wa9 immediately
escorted to his quarters in the Ballard House where
the whole of the second floor had been elegantly
prepared for his reception. On Sabbath morning
he attended St. Paul’s Church, and heard, as we
are told, an excellent sermon from Dr. Minnigerode,
in which there was not the slightest allusion to the
presence of the distinguished visitors. This was
in good taste, and just as it should be everywhere.
It was Communion day, and before the administra
tion of the Sacrament, the Prince, with most of
his attendants, retired from the church. In the
afternoon several of the Royal party went to tlm
African Church and seemed much interested in the
exercises, and in the appearance presented by the
immense congregation of colored people. The
Prince would have done better to have gone with
them, but instead of this he took a drive over the
city, visiting Holy-wood Cemetery, Church Hill
and other interesting localities. On Monday morn
ing we had an excellent opportunity of seeing the
young gentlemen, upon whom so much interest
now centres, because of the regard entertained for
his mother, but chiefly because of the high position
of responsibility he is destined one day to assume.
The descriptions which have been given of his ap
pearance have been in general very truthful. He
is not graceful either in figure or carriage. His
tace is far more German than English. His eye
somewhat drooping and heavy, but the expression
of his countenance is that of good humor and
amiability.— Central Pres.
A Move in the Right Direction. —The City
Couucil of Montgomery have adopted the follow
ing ordinance:
Section 1. Be it enacted and ordained by the
City Council of Montgomery, That the keeping of
every house in this city where spirituous liquors
are sold, retailed or given away, and which slaves
or free mas of color, habitually visit, assemble
or stop ’ <r loiter about, is hereby declared to bo
a public nuisance. Provided the general reputa
tion of such house, or of the keeper thereof, as to
trading or trafficking with slaves is bad.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, That every per
son who keeps or engages in the keeping of such
house, shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined in
the 9um of fifty dollars for each and every such
offence ; and if convicted the second time for th
same offence, shall not have license granted him
or her again ; and the license, under which Bueli
person has been doing business, may be annulled
and revoked by the City Couucil.
Sec. 3. Be it further enacted, That before any
conviction can he had under this ordinance, itshail
be incumbent on the city to prove by three or
more respectable witnesses, that the general repu
tation of the house or of the keeper thereof, as to
trading or trafficking with slaves is bad.
Sec. 4. Be it further enacted, That nothing in
this ordinance contained shall be construed as a
repeal of any of the laws now in force, in relation
to trading or trafficking with slaves.
Thackeray on Negro Minstrelsy.—Mr.Thack
eray thus speaks of the performance of an Ame
rican company of Ethiopian minstrels who were
recently in England: “ I heard a humorist balladist,
a minstrel with wool on his head, and an ultra
Ethiopian complexion, who performed a negro bal
lad that I confess moistened these spectacles in a
most unexpected manner. They have gazed as
dozens of tragedy-queens dying on the stage, and
expiring in appropriate blank verse, and I never
wanted to wipe them. They have looked up, with
deep respect be it said, at many scores of clergy
men in pulpits, without being dimmed; and behold
a minstrel, with a corked face and a banjo, sings a,
little song, strikes a wild note, which sets the whole
heart thrilling with happy piety. Humor 1 humor
is the mistress of tears; she knows the way to tha
sons lachrymarum , strikes in dry and rugged places
with her enchanting wand, and bldg the fountain
gush and sparkle. She has refreshed myriads moro
from her natural springs than ever tragedy has
watered from her pompous old urn.
A letter from Punta Arenas, describing
General Mora’s death, says:—Mora bore his fate
manfully. The file of men drawn up for his execu
tion stood with their muskets not ten feet front
him, and yet the five balls in his body did not kill
him, —‘Give me another shot, gentlemen, he said,
‘and finish me.’ He refused to be blindfolded, but
stood calmly facing his executioners. His body,
as well as that of Canas, was thrown into a hole in
the sand, both with the clothes on in which they
were murdered. It appears that Mora had been
cruelly deceived (or betrayed) in bis expectations
of risiugs iD other parts of the republic. Not a
movement was made in his favor except at Punta
Arenas.”
Our Mineral Resources. —These are too much
neglected. We have in our up-country regions,
immense treasures of mineral wealth yet to be
developed. Oar friend W. R Jones has exhibited
to us specimens of Copper ore, from a mine owned
by him in Fannin county, Georgia, which indicate)
vast richness in the Copper mines of that section.
Mr. Jones’s mine is located on what is known an
the “ Duck Town ” lead, and so far as we are cape •
ble of judging, are the richest in all that region of
country. —Atlanta Intelligencer.
