BY A BUSINESS MAN.
Great Spirit of the Universe—to Thee
1 lowly bow tuv head and bend the knee:
Who order’st a'l tilings for the best, forgive
My erring wavs and let my spirit live!
An atom of this lower world, I feel
My iittleoess, nor would I dare conceal
The homage that I owe, O (rod, to Thee
Who with Thy being liTst immensity.
O, what is time ? a thing of yesterday—
To-day—'tis all the same; it fades away,
Nor stays: like mist before the rising sun
It comes, it goes, and has one ceaseless run.
I ask, 0 what is life? tbe answer comes,
“ Go ask the silent tombs and narrow homes
Os that long line of buried ancestry,
Those dreamless sleepers of eternity.”
0 tell me what is death ? I pause, I shrink,
I gaze aroui and, and standing on the brink
Ot life’s dark stream, I see a numerous band
In hunied transit to the unknown laud.
Mystery profound ! Sealed to all mortal eyes,
Thv sign is death, thy banner is the skies :
Onward tliy march through every age and clime,
Till life eternal takes the place of time.

Sigiiv oi’ Kleturniiig Reason at tlic
Aorlli.
Although we see but faint signs of re
turning reason at the North, which for
the present will be crushed out by the
spirit of Black Republicanism, we take pleas
ure iu recording the saying and doings of
those who are bold enough to endeavor to
obstruct the ear of Juggeinaunt, and to ex
press their real sentiments in the face of
mobs, bayonets and threats of treason. The
South will remember them hereafter.
Ou the od instant, a series of war resolu
tions, which had passed the Senate of Con
necticut, came up in the House, when Ex-
Gov. Seymour opposed them in a brief
speech as follows :
Sir, 1 am on this floor as the advocate of
peace measures ! 1 will not sanction this war,
except so far as it can be waged on constitu
tinal grounds. This question now wears a
totally different aspect from that which it
presented when the President issued his call
for volunteers. Then it was for the “pro
tection of the capital and the re-possession
of the forts.” lam heartily glad that the
capital is protected. 1 would protect the
Federal Capital and the archives. But noth
ing has been done to recapture the forts.—
But a movement of invasion has been com
menced —an invasion of a sovereign State.—
1 think the gentleman from Stratford was
right in saying there is a movement —a grow
ing sentiment among the people, iu favor of
a peaceable settlement—of an honorable
peace ! I go with him, and with all who are
for peace measures! There seems to be a
radical mistake on the part of many people
—they seem to think the South can bo con
quered. Sir, this is impossible ! It can no
more be done than the South can conquer
the North ! There are brave men there as
well as here.
In revolutionary days we knew something
of them. In the war of 1812 they rallied
round our flag ami protected our commerce.
Now it is not well to underrate the prowess
of these enemies—as you call them —though
1 recognize, even in this state of things,
some there whom I knew, and who are still
our brothers iu heart. This mistake cost
Braddock a galling defeat in the old French
war, it cost the British many a humiliating
defeat in the war of the revolution. Do you
think you can secure their loyalty and alfec
tion by force ? Two or three sovereign States
have been overrun and trampled uuder foot
already. You have got a kind of foothold
which you call “peace but it is not peace
—it is smothered war ’ Maryland is in a vol
canic condition to-day ; and the same spirit
will rise at all times, in spite of all the chains
you can put upon it and of all the ruin that
is wrought. You may destroy their habita
tions, devastate their fields, and shed the
blood of their people ; still, you cannot con
quer them. “Even in their ashes live their
wonted tires.’’
1 shall vote against these resolutions. 1
hope Congress will adopt some peace meas
ures which shall hold the Jtorder States and
draw hack those that have gone out —so that,
in some future day, we may have the South
again under (he banner of the l uion.
S. then offered the following substi
tute :
u ßesolved , That while we are in favor of
maintaining the Constitution of the United
States in the true spirit of its founders, and
of upholding the Government oiganizedin
consonance therewith, we believe it to be the
dutv of Congress, now soon to assemble, to
adopt the resolutions known as the “Critten
den Compromise,” or some other plan of ad
justment of similar design, a fair and hon
orable termination of the present troubles.
And in any event, we solemnly protest
againts any interference, by any warlike
movement, with the institution of slavery
where it is recognized hy the Constitution
of the Uuited States, or fer the purpose of
disparaging the equality of the several States
as united hy the Federal Constitution.”
Cov. Seymour’s position was very bitterly
assailed hy Messrs. Adams, of Norwich;
Wooster, of Derby ; Carter, of Norwalk ;
llugbec, of Killingly, and others, and impu
tations of “treason,” were thrown out. Mr.
Gallagher warmly defended Gov. S. from
charges of a want of patriotism’ and applause
resounded when he closed.
The vote was finally taken by yeas and
nays, and the resolution offered by Gov. Sey
mour (the Crittenden compromise) was re
jected—lS to 178. The original resolution
then passed—lsh to 29. *
As part of the history of the times, we
copy some proceedings of the Connecticut
Legislature, before its adjournment. Gov.
Seymour’s efforts, it appears, availed but
little.
A bill was passed punishing treasonable
correspondents, etc., with SI,OOO fine. An
amendment was incorporated into the hill
imposing a penalty of SIOO, or imprison
ment, or both, on any person who raises a
Secession flag.
The House has killed oft’ the bill repeal
ing the “Personal Liberty Bill” hy a party
vote —121 to 71—hut continued the bill to
the next session.
In the same way the House defeated the
Corwin amendment—l2o to 74.
About one million of dollars of the two
million war appropriation, have already been
expended.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has something
to say, by way of cautioning deluded
fools at the North that they haxo made a
mistake. \V> copy;
\Ye begin to fear that we have mistaken
the extent of the Union feeling at the
South. We have been under the impres
sion that a sort of terror reigned at the
South, which prevented the expression of
the Union feeling, and that all that was nee
ded to bring that Union feeling to the sur
face and make it effective, was the presence
of Federal troops to protect Union men
from secession violence. The opiuion of
some of our observant friends in the army
in western Virginia is calculated to dissipate
that notion we have been so fondly cher
ishing. One of the Colonels writes to a rela
tive in this city, that the idea that Western
Virginia is all Union is a great mistake ;
that nearly every man is a spy, and that the
troops are in constant danger. Mr. George
I’. Buell, the war correspondent of the Cin
cinnati ‘Fimes, says in his last letter:
“You must not conclude, because West
ern V irginia has supplied for the Union
cause some brave and true soldiers, that the
Union sentiment is any stronger than it
ought to be. But few persons in this sec
tion publicly express their real sentiments;
but there is a cold formality, a cautious use
of language, a hesitation on all occasions to
act as guides and convey topographical intel
ligence, a suspicious and sinister look be
tokening that ‘the heart feels most when
the lifts move not.’ The Meadowsville fe
male ‘wished the devil had us allthere
are thousands of others in Barbour and the
adjoining counties that, from the bottom of
their hearts, commend us to the Apocalyp
tic gentlemen of the cloven foot, but have
not the courage to speak. * * *
“There are at least fifteen hundred vo
ters in this county, but only two or three
votes were cast at the late election for mem
bers of the Legislature to he organized
under the new State of Virginia. The
inhabitancc are alarmed at the presence of
soldiers, and only a small number ventured
to the precinct at Phillippi.”
Such information is far from encouraging.
If there is such a unversal feeling at the
South against the Federal Government and
the Union, our prospect of subduing them
is not so flattering as it looked some time
ago.
It always does us good to get hold of an
extract from that bold fearless paper, the
Democratic Standard, of Concord, New
Hampshire. In aftertimes the Standard will
be remembered by the people of the South.
The extract that we now have relates to the
subjugation of a soverign State:
“Lincoln, in his proclamation, assured
the people that (he war for which he wanted
75,000 soldiers, was to be waged only in de
fence of Washington, and for the recovery of
the property of the United States.
“It is now waged for the conquest and
subjugation of sovereign States. The State
of Maryland, is, at this moment, a con
quered State. She is held by a military
force. A military force now occupies the
city of Baltimore, and governs it by martial
law, in defiance of the Constitution and laws
of the Union. What a spectecle is this for
American people to contemplate ? llow far
are we from an absolute despotism V’
Even in tbe New hamshiro Legislature,
there is a show of decency. It is not formi
dable enough to overcome the wretched dem
agogues who have unfortunately got control
of matters there. Still this cloud, no bigger
than a man’s hand, “hows that the ,'ancient
prestige of the Granite State has not entire
ly died out. It appears that ninety-one
members of the New Ilamshire Legislature
have solemnly protested against the appropri
ation of $1,000,000 for arming and equip
ping State troops. In their protest they say :
“We have asked whether this warcontem
plates ie-union ; and if so, in what manner
arms are to achieve that object 't We have
asked whether it means the desolation of
Southern homes, the overthrow of Southern
institutions, and the destruction of our own
race there?” —Richmond Dispatch.
From the Savannah Republican.
A Hotui siting Convention.
In view of the large number of prominent
citizens suggested by their friends for Gov
ernor of Georgia the corning term, it has
been proposed to hold a Convention of dele
gates to be appointed by the people of the
several counties without referrence to past
political associations, and that such a body
be left to select the candidate.
We have said but little on the matter of
our next Governor, being perfectly willing
to let the people manage the whole matter for
themselves. We are ready to aid in the
election of any citizen of good character,
who is competent to the duties of the office.
The times require a first rate man, and the
people should look to it that such an one
be placed in the Gubernational chair for the
next two years. He should be well informed,
a man of political experience, able to grap
ple with the great questions of the preseut
day, and unselfish enough to perform his
trust with an eye single to the interest and
glory of the commonwealth. We have suf
fered long enough from picayune and place
hunting officials. Howerer the people of
Georgia may agree upon such a man, we ex
pect and intend to support his election with
all the zeal at our command.
lleyond two newspapers, which are under
stood to share largely in the bounty of the
present administration, we have seen noindica
tion of a popular desire for the re-election of
the present Executive to a third term. Were
he all that is clai ined for him by those journals,
the argument relied on, if worth anything,
would be good for a fourth and a fifth term,
and then for life, not only in Gov. Brown’s
ease, but as regards all officials. We should
then see the eud of Republicanism in this
country, and, what is worse, brought about
ouly to subserve the interests of personal pre
dilections of a few citizens of the State.—
But wo need not trouble our readers with
argument on this point. An overwhelming
popular sentiment is opposed to invading a
precedent that isessentialto free government.
Os all the Governors of Georgia, from the
beginning of the grverument till now, Gov.
Brown is the only one who became so wrap
ped up in the love of office as to desire a
third term. It is an ambition which the
people evidently have no desposition to grat
ify, and we therefore consider him out of
the question, except with himself and his
organs aforesaid.
As regards his successor, we had hoped
there would be no contention in a time like
the present, when complete harmony is so
essential. We had hoped that the Press,
ascertaining the wishes of the people in their
respective localities, would confer together
I and agree upon some man who appeared to
have the popular preference. We believe
still that Vta voters of the State ifould be
perfectly sat flied with such a course. AU
they w'ant is a good man, and they care little
for the disappointment of aspirants. Many,
however, are of a different opinion, and hold
that a convention is the only practicable
mode of settling the question. If such be
the general wish, though opposed to a con
vention at the present time, we shall cheer
fully defer to the views of others.
The Augusta Constitutionalist of yester
day advocates a convention on the 15th of
August, and expresses a preference for Hon.
John E. \\ ard, of Chatham, over all others,
as a candidate. Other influential journals
in the State have expressed a similar choice,
and if it be as general as we suppose it to be
from certain indications, we cannot see why
all should not agree at once to unite on Mr.
Ward without the intervention of a Conven
tion. We have had no political association
with that gentleman in the past, but we be
lieve him faithful and capable, and no oue
will more cordially respond to u general de
sire to make him Governor than ourselves.
Such are our own feelings in the matter, and
we have every faith that the friends witli
whom we have heretofore acted politically,
will readily discard all prejudice and unite
with ns in placing an able and distinguished
fellow citizen at the helms of affairs.
If we are not mistaken in the confidence
expressed above, the old majority party in
Georgia have now an opportunity of uniting
all the people of the State in perfect harmo
ny, and upon a man whom they have always
delighted to honor. Will they embrace it,
and put to rest all contention and strife
at a time when we have a great common
cause to struggle for, and should all be of
one mind and one heart? We leave them
to answer the question.
With these observations we leave the
whole subject of our next Governor where it
properly belongs—with the people.
Southern Literature.
We clip the following from the Southern
Literary Companion. It speaks the true
Southern sentiment. We are not only grat
ified but amused at the long faces, which are
often seen at our post office, when applicants
are informed that no Northern papers were
received at the post office. Hundreds of our
people would stand by and see a Southern
paper perish, while patronizing some North
ern Abolition sheet. The game is blocked,
and we are glad of it. Our people should
patronize Southern publications nolens nolens.
These are our sentiments.
Mr. Editor:—l have read recently, with
great pleasure several articles in our papers,
suggesting the importance of encouraging and
supporting “ Southern Literature.”
I think that it is quite time that our gift
ed and literary ladies are appreciated at home.
It is a patriotic duty we owe to our country.
A nation strong in arms may be feared, but
unless it is strong in intellect and renown
for its literature and virtue, it cannot, and
will not, be respected.
The True spirit of patriotism, is essential
|ly a public spirit. It ignores all selfishness.
Its wishes are commensurate with the moral
; wants and necessities of its people.
To be a patriot, and live and work for our
| selves alone is entirely impracticable. The
j Union is a moral impossibility. No greater
1 paradox could be invented, than is contained
in the idea of selfish patriot.
True patriotism is like genuine religion.
It consists not in fashions and in forms, hut
! in demonstrating a spirit, which speaks “ we
live for our country.” Great principles are
to he avowed mantained, diffused,established.
“ God and our country are to he served ”
1 know that many profess, and seem to he
1 patriotic on lower principles, but it is impos
sible. “As well might the 9nn-heams lie
folded in the curtains of night, wheD the
king of day comes rejoicing in the east.
Let us, then, do all we can to establish our
j indepdnpence in every respect, literary as
well as political.
It is well known that one of the great
causes of our present difficulties, is the want
of proper appreciation of Southern intellect.
The North has always regarded us as inferi
or in talent, taste and refinement. Why? Be
cause our literary papers and journals are so
poorly patronized, and as to books by South
ern Authors, unless they were published at
the North where they could be appreciated,
were rarely beard of outside the family con
nexion of the author. This is known to be
true. And the Northern people have regard
ed it as positive proof of our inferiority, and
hence the intrusion upon our rights and the
the present difficulties. But in the lan
guage of Mr. W. S. Barton, of Montgomery,
editor cf the “ Teacher,” and by the way
one of the most instructive journals in the
Southern States, one worthy of ten thou
sand subscribers.—“ If we have been de
relict in our duty, heretofore, let us cease
to be so.” Let us encourage our own litcr
rary and gifted ladies and gentlemen to write.
Let our libraries and stores in the future be
filled with home prductions.
We have talent sufficient in the South to
simply every book that is needed, from the
spelling book to the highest and purest style
of literature. Then let us say to those who
are capable of writing good and useful books,
to commence and have them ready for publi
cation by the time we satisfy the North that
we are their superiors in arms, which we
honestly believe will not be longer than Sep
tember. We are glad to learn that the Meth
odist Publishing House iu Nashville is a large
and complete establishment, prepared to
publish all kinds of books. We not only
hope the church but the whole South will
rally to its support. We should be glad to
to know if there is a steel engraver connected
with the house, if not there should be.
We must become iu all departments en
tirely independent.
What say you, my friend, Mr. Davis?

Fine Times for Extortions. —The pre
sent crisis is the best opening for extortions
and small speculations known in the history
of the South. An old lady, long since dead
but at one time extensively known about
Chatham as “Aunt Sally,” said on one occa
sion that “people may talk about their ten
and twenty per cents, but as for me I’m a
poor old critter and satisfied with one. If I
buys a thing for one dollar and sells it for
two, that’s all I cares to make.” liecent
developments in these regions of the globe
seem to indicate that all the “Aunt Sallys

fear, in the progres of civilization, have
slightly improved on the old lady’s program
me, by buying for one and selling for three.

tender ol these will require some nursing, but do
not let this deter vou trom planting. Do not plant
too deep, and be sure to press the earth p.ettv
firmly about the seed, either with a plank or the
back of the spade. Whenever you can do so
always plant immediately after a rain ; and when
you eanuof, we have found it a good piau to sow
all small seed, like cabbage, turnips, &c., late in
the afternoon, and cover eaily the next morning.
The dew will soften the seed and aid germination.
On account of the failure of the crop, peach
frees have eoneeutratc-d all their euergies in mak
ing wood. Now, therefore, is a good time for the
man of taste to give his trees that form and beautv
so indispensable to a well regulated orchard. For
the removal of small branches and giving the troo
symmetry, wo dieidedly prefer summer pruning,
but for a general dressing, we would aiwavs choose
the winter, (jive your tree the pvramidal form if
you would protect them from the destruction u
which they are liable by storms and weight of
fruit. 6
We think in dry, sultry weather the experiment
of trimming would be “extra hazardous.” Whilst
upon this subject, we will commend to our readers
some excellent hints given ly Messrs, l’eters &
Harden, in their catalogue for 1860. We have had
occasion to know something of their success ns
horticulturists. Under the head of “ Ifints on
Pruning and Transplanting,” they say :
The first requisite in plaining Fruit Trees, u to
select a good dry soil—if not rich naturallv, it
should he made so by the use of well decomposed
manures—or, what is still better, virgin soil from
the forest.
We prefer a thorough preparation of the soil
with the plough, to the usual plan ol diggiug holes;
the deeper the subsoil is broken the better. A
common and fatal error is planting too deep—this
iiaa killed more Fruit Trees than anv other one
cause. There is a certain guide to go by, and na
ture will not allow a material departure therefrom.
The trees should be planted just deep enough so that
when the ground settles, the collar, (that point be
tween the body and root) should be just even with
the surface of the soil. The Dwarf Pear,however,
forms an exception to this rule ; it should be
planted so as to have the point at the junction of
the graft, or bud, of the Pear on the Quince stock,
about two inches below tbe surface.
The tree being planted, the next step is to prune
so as to secure low spreading tops and short bodies
the object being to protect the bodies from our
hot suns. To do this the tree must be cut brick.
I pon this point all Southern Horticulturists agiee,
and some go to an extreme. After much expe
rience and investigation, we have adopied the
following plan with our own Orchard, which wo
cannot too strongly recommend to our patrons.
We prune so as to form the bodies of the follow ing
heights:
Peaches, Apiicote, Nectarines and Plums, three
feet; Apples, Standard Pears and Cherries, two
feet ; Dwarf Pears twelve inches. Older trees that
have already formed their heads, should be severe
ly pruned at the time of transplanting, and if the
trunks are too long, the branches should be en
couraged to grow out, which they will do rapidly,
if the top is sufficiently pruned.
Two additional reasons may be given for bead
ing back trees at the time of transplanting : find,
the necessity of staking is entirely obviated ;
secondly, it is impossible to t<ike up a tiee without
destroying some of its roots. To insure a vigorous
growth of a newly tiansplanted tree, it is absolute
ly necessary that there should be a proper balunco
between its top and roots, if the balance prepon
derate in favor of the toots, all the better.
For information in detail on Fruits and Fruit
Culture, we recommend to our customers “ Gard
ening for the South,” edited by the accomplished
and practical Pomologisi, Wm. N. White, Esq., of

Under this caption the Harrisburg (Pa.)
Union ami Patriot, hitherto a strong war
journal, thus touches upon anew danger
which is begining to threaten the North ;
Are our readers aware that a rebellion
against the authority of the Government is
organizing at the North—that treason is
rearing its ugly head iu the midst of the very
party that professes the most determination
iu putting down the rebellion at the South ?
It is eveu so. Daily attempts are now being
made to array tbe army against tbe Govern
ment, and set up tbe military above civil
authorities.
Daily threats arc made that if the war is
not pushed forward with more vigor, the ar
my will act upon its own responsibility; and
that if a compromise is effected three hun
dred thousand men in arms will not disband
without adtni jistering law according to the
code of Judge Lynch. After all the beauti
ful prattle about the Constitution, the Union,
and the enforcement of the laws, coming
from those who have spent years in tramp
ling upon the Constitution, deriding the
Union and violating the laws, the old, law
defying instincts have once more gained the
mastery, and revolution is now the watch
word. The Government must plunge head
long into the vortex of civil war or be trod
den under the iron heel of military despot
ism.

which the people of that city will offer the
South. lie says those large posters, of which
the following is a copy, are posted up all

CONDITION OF PEACE REQUIRED OF I'IIE SO
CALLED SECEDED STATES.
Article I. Unconditional submission to
the Government of the United States.
Article 2. To deliver up one hundred of
the arrh traitors, to be hung.
Article 8. To put on record the names
of others who have been traitorous to the
Government who shall be held infamous aud
disfranchised forever.
Article 4. The property of all Traitors
to be confiscated to pay the damage.
Article 5. The Seceded State to pay all
the ballance of the expense, and restore all
stolen property.
Article 6. The payment of all debts due
to Northerners, and indemnity for all indig
nities to persons, loss of time, life, and pro
perty.
Article 7. The removal of the cause of
all our difficulties, which can only be done
by the immediate and unconditional abolition
of Slavery.
Article 8. Until a full compliance with
all the above terms, the so called Seceded
States to be held and governed as United
States Territory.
The above is the least that an indignant
people will accept, outraged as they have been
by the foulest, most heinous, and gigantic
instance of crime recorded in history.
