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 motion the chair appointed a commit tee of one from each Congressional District, to report permanent officers for the Conven tion as follows: Hartridge, of Chatham; Vason, of Dough erty; Jeter, of Muscogee; Wingfield, of Putnam; Davison, of Richmond; Ham mood, of Clark : Daniel, of Pike; Appling, of Cobb; Price, of Pickens; Tumlin, of Cass. The committee through their Chairman Mr. Wingfield reported recommending the lion. D. F. Hammond, of Coweta for Presi dent, and Dr Hall of Augusta, and T. Sloan of Muscogeo for Secretaries, and they further recommended that those counties having two Representatives be entitled to cast five votes in the Convention, and those having one, three votes. This report was unanimously adopted. On motiou Messrs. Lester of Cobb, De- Lyon of Chatham and Slaughter of Dougher ty were appointed a committee to conduct 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 for business. On motion of Mr. Mitchell, of Clark, a Committee of three from each Congressional district were appointed to report business for the Convention. The Committee were com posed as follows: Ist District. —DeLyon, Harris aud Spald ing. 2d District. —Slaughter, Lamar and Mc- Intyre. 3d District. —Jeter, Bivins and Fish. 4th District.—Sand ford, Holt and Wing field. sth District.—Jones, Davison and Frank . lin. 6th District. —Mitchell, Hull and Fannin. 7th District.—J. F. Johnson, Peeples, and C. 11. Johnson. Bth District.—Lester,Onne and Robinson. 9th District.—Price. 10th District.—Cannon, Gartrell and Farnsworth. On motion of Mr. Lester, of Cobb, it was Resolved, That, the Committee on business be instructed to present to this Convention the names of two gentlemen for Electors for the State at large, for President and Vice- President of the Confederate States antj als: two aa alternate*, On motion of Dr. Jeter, of Muoog ee) was Resolved, That the delegates from the several Congressional Districts he requested to meet during the Rtyessof the Convention, ind select autt report to this Convention a suitable person for Elector and Alternate for their respective districts.

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. regret that the liouisianian could not VOLUME XXXIX—NO 2(5. Albert Sidney Johnson. 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
