Tui: OLD C'OLFLIL
it sunds in a sunny meadow,
The house no int ts*y and brown,
With iis cuinbtou* old stone ehonr.ejs,
And it - roof sloping down
The trees fold tbeir green arms around it,
The trees, a century old;
And the winds go chanting through them,
And the sunbeams drop their gold.
The cowslips sp'ing in the marshes,
And the roses bloom on the hill;
And beside the brook in the pastures,
The herds go feeding at will.
The children have gone and left them,
They sit in the sun alone!
And the old wiie'fi ears are failing
As she harks to well-known tone
That won her heart in her girlhood,
That has soolbed her in many a care,
And praises her now for the brightness
Her old face used to wear.
She thinks again of her bridal
How dressed in her robe of white,
She stood by her gay young lover
In the niorning’s rosy light.
Oh the morning is as rosy as ever.
Hut the rose from her cheek ia tied ;
And the sunshine still is golden,
But it falls on a silvered head.
And the girlhood’s dreams once vanished,
Come back in her winter time,
Till her feeble pulse* tremble
With the thrill of Spring time’s prime.
And looking forth from the window,
She tbink9 how the trees have grown,
Since, clad in her bridal whiteness,
She crossed the old door stone.
Though dimmed her eye’s bright azure,
And dimmed her hair’s young gold;
The love in her girlhood plighted,
Has never grown dim nor old.
They sat in peace in the sunshine,
Till the day was almost done ;
And then, at the close, an angel
Stole over the threshold stone.
He folded their hands together—
He touched their eye-lids with balm ;
And their last breath floated upward,
Like the close of a solemn psalm.
Like a bridal pair they traversed
The unseen, mystical road,
That leads to the beautiful city,
“ Whose builder and maker is God.”
Perhaps in that mirical country
They will give her lost youth back ;
Aod the flowers of a vanished Spring time,
Will bloom in the spirit’s track.
One draught from the living waters,
Shall call back his manhood’s prime ;
And eternal years shall measure,
That love that outlived time.
But the shapes that they left behind them,
The wrinkles and silver hair,
Made holy to us by the kisses
The angel had printed there—
We will hide away ’neath the willows,
When the sun is low in the west,
Where the sunbeams cannot find them,
Xor winds disturb their rest.
And we’ll suffer no tell-tale tombstone,
With age and date to rise,
O’er the two who are old no longer,
In the Father’s house in the skies.

On motiou Messrs. Lester of Cobb, De-
Lyon of Chatham and Slaughter of Dougher

Judge Hammond to the chair.
Judge Hammond on taking the chair, said;
Gentlemen of the Convention ;
Allow me to tender you my gratitude for
the distinguished honor conferred on me by
your selection. lam proud of the post as
signed me believing as I do, that this is one
of the most important conventions that ever
assembled in Georgia. It has been custo
mary heretofore for the leaders of political
parties to assemble in this llall, for the pur
pose of re-electing their most available lead
ers and propagating most successfully their
doctrines ; but we have assembled for a dif
ferent purpose. We have assembled for the
purpose of obliterating all party lines and
amalgamating all party creeds—old Whigs,
and Democrats, Union men, and Secession
ists meet around our common board, advo
cate our common sentiment and pledge, them
selves to our common doctrines for the sob;
purpose of relieving the country from the
discord that inevitably awaits the race for
office between old party leaders. We have
come here gentlemen of the Convention to
bury the tomahawk in the grave of oblivion
and as God is my Judge I never will trace
the political principles of any man, further
back than to ascertain that he stands side by
side with me in defence of the rights of our
common country or in the support of its
common interest.
There are now no parties in Georgia aud
prudence suggests that when we have an
arch enemy abroad we have no time to quar
rel at .home. It is proper that our action
should be such as not to array the people in
to parties against each other to terminate in
heated contests and angry debates.
Our object is to give quiet to the land so
long disturbed by bitter partisan conten
tions-
It becomes us therefore, gentlemen, to
select some man upon whose arm the coun
try can bang, and upon whom men of all the
old political organizations can cordially unite
for the express purpose of putting down all
party strife.
I do not believe there is a man here to
day, who has any personal, or party prefer
ences to gratify, or any personal or party
animosities to indulge. I believe all in this
Convention are willing to cast their predilec
tions and prejudices upon their countrys’
altar to shield the people of our beloved State
from the fierce contest with which she is
threatened.
If we do this, we shall have accomplished
much, yea more than any party in Georgia
ever did.
Hoping that not a note of discord may
arise in our deliberations —that good men,
will be chosen for the accomplishment of so
laudable a purpose, aud the peace and good
of the people will be promoted by our as
sembling together, I agaiu return you my
thanks for the honor conferred, and now an.
uounce the Convention opened aud ready

Fraying tor a Dying Enemy.
A Correspondent of the Crescent says:
A most touching scene took place in the
affair of Major Hood’s, already alluded to.—
Among those mortally wounded was a North
ern man “, he was shot through both hips
and had fallen on the road, where he was
discovered by a Louisianian. lie was suffer
ing the most intense pain, his face and body
disorted by his agonizing sufferings. He
hedged for water, which was promptly given
him, his ‘head and shoulders were raised
to tender him more comfortable, and fore
head bathed iu water. He urged the Louis
ianian to pray for him, who was forced to
acknowledge his inability to pray. At that
moment one of the Mecklenburg troopers
came up, aud the poor fellow urged bis re
quest again, with great earnestness. The
j Virginian knelt at his side aud asked the
wounded man if he was a Christian and be
lieved in the promise of Christ to save re
pentant sinners. He answered, Yes. The
trooper then commenced a prayer—fervid,
pathetic, and eloquent. The soldier’s face
lost all the traces of his recent suffering and
became placid aud benignant, and in new
born love for his enemy, attempted to encir
cle his neck with his arm, but only reached
the shoulder, where it rested, and with his
gaze riveted on the face of the prayer!ul
trooper, lie appeared to drink in the whole
of hope* and eousnlation, the promises of
Christ’s mercy and salvation, which flowed
: f r om his lip ) “as the parched earth drink
eth up the rain j” and as the solemn amen
died on the lips of the Christian soldier, the
dead man’s hand relapsed its hold and fell
to the ground, and his spirit took its flight
to unknown realms. The scene was sol
emn aud impressive, and the group were all
in tears. The dying never weep, ’tis said.
Having no implements with which to dig his
grave, and expecting the return of the enemy
nr large force, they left him, not however,
without arranging his limbs, and crossing
hie hands on his chest, leaving evidences to
the dead man’s companions that his last mo
memts had been ministred to by humane and
Christian men.

Ihe distinguished gentleman whose name
heails this article now being in our midst, wv
eci * ie subjoined article?? in reference t<*
ius j which we copy from the New
Orleans Delta, interest to lav be
fore our readers:
The party constituting Gen. Johnston’s
escort was organized from among the moun
taineers and front irsmen of California, bv
Capt. Alonzo Ridley, to whose energy* and
boldness are we indebted for the presence
and services of one of the ablest Generals of
the age. The movements of both the Gen
eral and Capt. llidley were so narrowly
watched by tne Black Republican army offi
cers stationed at Los Angelos, that it became
necessary that the organization and meeting
ot the company should be as secret as possi
ble. Every pretext was resorted to in order
to obtain authority upon which to undertake
an arrest.
lhe Governor of the State was applied to
tor an order to disarm the party, and thus
force the gallant men who surrounded the
General to give over their purpose or com
mit an overt actof treason. A United States
grand jury was summoned from among the
ranks of the Blacks, and every effort made
to indict Ridley for treason; four companies
of United States troops were ordered to Los
Angelos, and it seemed as madness to under
take a departure. However, our men were
not to be daunted. Like the Templars,
when menaced by Richard the Lion- Hearted,
they made front against the whole power of
the State, proclaiming iutention to depart in
peace, if unassailed.
On the 20th of June last, the party left
Los Angelos, and on the 30th of the same
month commenced its journey across the great
Colorado desert. At Fort Yuma the Feder
al force of two companies of infantry, with
four pieces of artillery, indicated a desire to
make an arrangement similar to the one pro
posed by a certain cock to a horse, to wit :
that if the horse would not tread on him, he,
the cock, would not tread on the horse. It
was agreed to and no hostility ensued, al
through Ridley and his men felt an itching
to apply the torch to the Federal fort. The
journey to Tuscan was without interest, ex
cept the suffering endured by both men and
animals. The temperature during the day
varies from 100 to 120 degrees in the shade,
and is not less than a hundred degrees at
night. Strong blasts of hot air frequently
sweep over the plaius during the day and
night, parching and drying up the poor
wretch who may be so unfortunate as to feel
them. Couple this with the fact that there
is but one point at which good water can be
obtained within a distance of four hundred
miles, and you have a very slight picture of
the route.
At Tuscan the party was again menaced
by four companies of Federal troops that
were destroying the Government property in
the vicinity preparatory to leaving. These
latter, combined with the Apaches, made
the march rather exciting to Messilla.
Gen. Johnston arrived at Messilla, and
found that Col. Jack Baylor had removed
the last obstruction to free progress in Ari
zona—the eleven companies of Federals at
Fort Fillmore.
%
Notwithstanding the hardships of the trip,
many good jokes were originated, one of
w hich at the expense of the General himself,
is too good to remain unrecorded. While
encamped near Tuscan the General was vis
ited by a Texas emigrant; a conversation
ensued, in which the emigrant undertook to
describe a certain road in Texas with which
he was not half so familiar as he would have
had it appear, and, as it happened, the Gen
eral w r as particularly acquainted with it.—
The description of road and country pro
gressed, and an error occurred, whereupon
the General proceeded to correct it. The
emigrant demurred, the General insisted,
adding that he himself had traveled over the
route fifty times and knew every rut in it.
“Ah !” said the emigrant, in a pleasant
suggestive manner, “ stage driving, I pre
sume !” The General has had no knowl
edge or opinion of roads in Texas since then.
Hints for 41i* Month.
Prepared for the war should be written
over the door of every farm building. Save
all the provender you can, that will nourish
man or beast. Take care of your straw,
chaff, bran, everything, aud don’t feed ex
travagantly because you have full cribs.—
Fix up your spelters for the protection of
stock during the winter.
Kepair all farm houses.
Take care of your stock.
Don’t indulge any longer in mutton, but
look to the wool and guard against hard
times. Set all the old folks to knitting
stockings for the soldiers. Half a pound
of cotton and half a pound of wool will
make four pair heavy winter socks, and
they will be sorely needed. We have no
Yankee knitting looms, and must rely upon
our fingers.
Get your horses in marching order. We
may need more cavalry, aud every man who
can spare a horse should freely offer him to
his country.
Prepare early to sow a large area in wheat,
rye, and barley.
Sow large turnip patches*. Ked-top will
do well sown any time in September. Save
all your peas and pea vines.
Cotton —Pick it out as rapidly as it opens,
and dout let a bale of it leave your gin house
until the blockade is raised, and it can be
made available by your Government.
Work day and night—not to make money,
but to be able to protect the soldier and his
family, and secure our own independence.—
Farmer and Planter.
Showing Hlr Colors. —A gentleman
from Cheat Mountain tells the following:
A squad of Indiana volunteers, out scout
ing, came across an old woman in a log cab
in, iu the mountains. After the usual salu
tations, one of them asked her—
“ Well, old lady, are you secesh ?” “No,”
was her answer. “Are you Union?”—
“ No.” “ What are you then ?” A Bap
tist and all’wys have been. ’
The Itice Crop.
The harvesting of the rice commenced about ten
days ago on the Savannah and Ogeechee livers,
says the Republican of Monday, and we may say
generally that a better crop lias not been made for
years. It met with no disaster during the {.rowing
season, and it is large and fully headed out. The
continuous rains since it has been cut may damage
it somewhat, but it can stand a good deal of wet
weather without serious effect upon the grain.
The inland plantations in many sections, would
have done better with more rain to fill up tba
i ponds, but still **• hear the crop U* very [air cme v
