LOVE’S GIFTS.
I gave my love a lan before she knew
I loved her more than dared my t nguc Imparl;
She look it with a smile; but saw not through
Mtue ; eyes that I had given her (list mine heart.
O tan, how envied I the happy air
Thou brought'st a wooing to lliat face so fair!
1 5S ve ,i 1 , er fleers—Nature’s living gems;
1 he likest, things to her on earth I’ve known !
AU beauty, grace, and sweetness; diadems
io hind her brows, and posies for her zone.
O happy flowers, what had 1 given to iie,
Like ye, on that fair breast, though hut to die !
1 gave my love a ring. No costly prize;
Naught buta Hide simple hoop ot gold.
Min’ placed Jt on her ringer with sweet sighs,
And'sweoter looks, that made my tongue more
hold.
“ O happy ring, upon that hand to shine !
O lovely lady, would that hand were mine !”
My love gave me—a kiss. O wanton air,
1 envy thee no more ! O luckless flower’s,
I breathe lresh life upon that bosom fair.
Where ye but perish in a low short hours.
O ring, a Unger thou dost clasp alone!
My arms encircle all—for she is all mine own!
[For the Journal & Messenger.]
Atlanta, Ga., Fep.
Hirisis. EdUurg: There are amongst ns
certain news papers that have hitherto
prefesseti to teach the elevation of society,
pretending to publish what is good in
order that it might he recognized, appre
ciated and rewarded ; to ferret out and ex
pose crime that it might he branded and
dispised—to Iheend that lightshould reach
the popular mind and equal justice be
meted out to all. This was their teaching.
What is their practice?
Why nine tenth of the ltadieal bosh
ventilated in Atlanta since Pope’s ascen
dency has been nothing tpofe norln-s than
a stupendous bid for tbe Public Printing—
a grab at the almighty dollar. Markham
Dunning, Farrow ct id omne genus, no
doubt have political aspirations, and hug
the nigger accordingly. But tiie Era and
Opinion were after Mammon. Thpy felt
that order furly-nino would be coming
sooner or later. So they laid the eggs,
Joe Brown did the setting, and Pope
hatched ’em. Bribery and corruption
used to lie considered crimes ; but now
they are known as “ Piratic” virtues and
insert* matters of “Opinion.’,’
Just now our three Dailies are having a
sort of triangular fight. The Era and
Opinion are butting at each other on a
■personal issue—a question of Libel (let ‘en.
lie!) yet they, harmonize very well when
it comes to double-teaming on the Intelli
gencer, All the harm the latter did was
to perserve Its decency and self-respect,
thereby proving itself unworthy to reap
till* benefits of Order It). The other two
footed the hill to a fraction, and trot their
reward. Tacitus seys, ”It is human na
ture to hate the man whom you have in -
jured.” Ergo, how can tiie Era and
Opinion like any thing respectable ? Its a
light- between two “ iron clads” and a
/*(("•!'-clad.
Mow that the conservative Press of Pope
dom has been robbed of all revenues out
side of those arising from subscriptions
and private advertisements, and this be
cause of its firm adherence under prosecu
tion, to right, the people should lend it a
helping hand. Let the money of conser
vative men be spent upon conservative
newspapers, and let Radicalism find suc
cor only at the footstool of the satrap
There are no class of men in a communi
ty who, for good or evil, exercise a more
powerful influence than Editors. Hence
it follows that these men, in a great meas
ure, give tone to society ant} are in a pro
portionate degree morally responsible for
its status, Therefore when they are found
restoring to low means in obtaining certain
ends, pandering to the baser elements of
the minds ami heart, repudiating the
patent safe-guards of the social system, and
letting down Editorially into an abyss
of moral and intellectual degradation,
it is time that tiie people— their
patroas—those who give them bread should
rise up it) their might, take the malady in
hand, and apply the appropriate renn-dy.
The United .States are about erecting
new and extensive Barracks at West
End near this City at a cost of sdßo 000.
This squints at two things—higher taxes
and tiie permanence of our Military des
potism.
As some people still think that Joe
Brown is an oracle, I mention for their
benefit, tiie gist of a conversation which
took place recently between ydur corres
pondent and himself. “ How do you
think, Governor, all this political trouble
will end ?” “It will end peacefully and
much sooner than is expected” sui t he.
o But,” Govrenor, “the negro will con
tinue to he a source of political and social
discord amongst us.” “No, sir. In ten
years tiier * will be scarcely a negro in the
country.” “Why, Governor, wiiatin the
world will become of him?” He replied
to the question by asking another. Said he,
-’ What lias become of the Indian ?”

“Good aft orb non' Mr. Bohd-Hoider—l
have brought you a present. Here are two

could. not help it—they could not help it
their father and mother, both dead, were
white. These are my little innocent grand
children—all you and your party have left
me, and the bonds you hold are mortgages
on them, as upon myself. [ cannot pay
the debt—take the little ones.”
Bond Holder —“Be off—get out—take
the dirty brats away from me!”
Poor flan —“ Please, sir, don’t speak so
hardily. It frightens the little girl. The
boy does not seem to start much at your
angry tones, else he would not double up
his fist, hut the girl is timid.”
Bond Holder —“ Get out—be off with
your brats, or I’ll ring the bell for a ser
vant to put you out, you impertinent
scoundrel !’’
Poor Man- li You needn’t ring,Mr. Bond-
Holder. The day of ringing little bells
has passed away. And you need not ring
fora servant, fur lam your serve, of! And,
as you have n<> chairs for servants, i will
stand here a moment before I go, and have
a little talk with you.
“And you will listen. And you will
not speak cross nor interrupt me.
"Once, when you were afraid of the
draft, you wore the kin<llie-t smile ! And
you patted me on the back and said 1 was
a dear, good patriotic man !
“I listened to you then, and by the Eter
tuff you ffuM listen to tnft now !
“l)o you remember those days! There
was a war. You, with your oily tongue,
helped bring it about. It was more of a
war than you thought’it would be. You
were a coward, a great big co ■* ard ! Don’t
took ugly, for T don’t scare worth a emit !
And you were afraid to go to war. You
made Jong speeches about saving the
Union—piott cting tiie Constitution—lion
oruig the laws—and helping tin* poor man!
“You said the war was to restore (be
country to peace and prosperity! You
said Die war was not to coerce States, nor
to deprive any people of liberty !
‘’You saiti those who would not tight
were cowards. T was no coward, Mr.’Bond-
Holiler, so I went to war. You wi re it
coward, you dare not go, and you hired
me to go. I took yoqr money and went.
And now, when 1 have returned, I find
that I owe you more than you gave, mi,
and that I must now work to pry myn If

**st on the money you let me have.
“And 1 find also that you are exempt
from taxation, that you hold the wealth of
the nation in your pockets, and that I utn
your slave!
“In short, Mr. Bond Holder you tire a
coward, a chest, swindler, a tyrant, a
robber, a great bloated aristocrat. When
the war came on 1 was a poor but honest
man. I know btff little of your tricks,
and financial plans. Iliad a* wife anti 1

Our home was a poor man’s home, but it
w a happy one.
“Doyou know,JM r. Bond-Holder, how
you whined and begged of me to go to
war ? You said the country was in danger.
You promised to van* for my family, arid
to look out for niy interest if ! would go

A Case lor Use Cattiiisla.
The following from the pen of Admiral
Semmes, embodies as much of wit as of
argument: *
We recollect to have read when we were
a boy, somewhere in the miscellaneous
writings of Pope, the great poet of Qu**en ,
A; * tie’s reign, the humorous account of a i
law suit, which grew out of the will of u!
testator, Who owriKf FPfT&TH black horse*;
white horses, ami hlaclrnml white, or pied
horses. The clause of the will which gave
rise to the dispute was as follows: “I will
and bequeath to A. B. till my white a .<1
black horses.” The question was whethe, '
all the horses passed under tin* will, or tiie
\vhiie horses, and the black horses, only,
or the pied horses only. The lawyers were
ail sorely puzzled, and the quid mines
about, Willis’ coffee house, and other fa- I
moils resorts of that day fairly ran riot in !
law, grammer, and punctuation. Uufor
tuiialely tor toe casuists, the punctuation
in the case, ami which mieht have saved ;
ti good deal of trouble, was defective ; u
matter, by the way, to which we would;
caH the attention of lawyers who draw'j
j wills. A similar difficulty has just pre-i
seated itsolt, in President Johnson’s so- |
called Amnesty Proclamation, though we
■ tear, that for want of so classic a pen as j
iPope’s to record it, it will not descend so !
far down the stream of time.
Tim Editor of this paper is. or rather was •
a Rear Admiral in the (’onfederate States !
navy, and by decision of President Du vis, !
a Brigadier General in the Army. When j
Ihe destroyed his fleet ou the James river, j
on the evacuation of Richmond by Gen. |
Lee, he made good his retreat through the !
.lino*, of (Jrant, and Sheridan, with ins ofli -
eers and men, ami iu clue time readied
Danville, in Virginia, where lie found
! i'resident Davis, and Cabinet. By'order
of the President, his sailors were organized
[astt brigade of artillery, ami lie was as
signed ;«*» Urn command of it, with the
rank nf n Brigadier General, as tic fore i
stated. President Johnson has kindly tsar- j
| doned tin* Brigadier General, but be- ’lias j
mot pardoned the Rear Admiral. Now,
some of these days when the hangman
conn s along, what is to be .done ? That
the President can bang tiie Rear Admiral
is quite clear; but how, the deuce, can he
bung tin* Rear Admiral, without hanging,
at the same time the Brigadier General ;
and tin* Brigadier he can’t hang, necause
he can plead hi* pardon! Like Shylock,
lie may have his pound of llesh, but in
cutting out his Hesh, he mu-t be careful
i not to spill a drop oi blood. Now here is
u clear case for Blauberry, or rather for
Binkley, and we would like to see the rea
soning of those cute chaps in the case. If
they can show how tin* Rear Admiral is lo
be made to die, and the Brigadier permit
ted to live, they will he able to show about
as milch as they have in Sickles’ case, to
wit: tbut the State ot North Carolina is in ■
the Union, and out of the Union at the j
same time.
Perhaps we can furnish the >- mn-iy old
fellows with a precedent \\ hen we were
afloat in the Alaliama—that rascally craft,
that is giving Mr. Seward, ami Lord Stan
ley an much trouble, about theirasperations
—we now and then captured a Yankee
ship, with u neutral cargo on board;
though this did not occur often towards
the end of the war, forth** neutrals became
a little afraid of risking their property in
American ships. Under tbe liberal code
which we practiced on the high se .-,
win Ist tin* neutral flag covered en -mb s’
property,the enemies’ lfiig di< 1 not coiidunn
neutral property. Consequently the neu
tral cargo found on board of it Yankee ship
did uit belong to us. But tin* slop did ;
ami the question would arise, what were
we to do in such a case? The p rts of all
the world were closed against our i size-,
ami we could not, therefore, -.end the ship
in for adjudication. We had the right to
bum the ship, but we had not tin* right to
burn the cargo. We could hang the Rear
Admiral, bul we could not hang the
Brigadier. What was to !.*• done? We
could not let the ship go, for she belonged
to us, by right of capture. Well, here was
the. way we arranged it. We let the ship
go on ransom bond—the master of the
ship pr * rinsing, in tiie name of his owner,
[to pay us so much money, if we would not
burn him —every rascal of a master bind
ding himself, in the mean time, by all
-oris.of protestations, oil ho: or, ami off
honor, to pay up promptly at the end of
the war; but d—l tiie mi tent has been
forthcoming.
Now we propose, that a- lie* President
cannot burn the ship, under his late pro
clamation without burning the cargo
which does not belong to him, he w.li have
to ransom us; and we solemnly promise
him, that we will pay as promptly a~ we
have been paid. * hut can an unfortunate
skipper, who has been Captured by ;*, pro
clamation, do tin : ■ ? But l here is another
question we desire to present to tbe afore
said Staubcry and Bim-klov. The Presi
dent says that till the pardoned people
must take an oath, which he ><*ts forth,
before they can reap the benefit of his
amnesty. Will the “Law odie -is 0 ; t* e
Grown” he pleased to inform its how the
j Brigadier can take tb@ oath, and not the
Rear Admiral ? Do let its know soon, gen
tlemen, for it migh he awkward to find
the hemp lightening around tlr* thr *at of
the Rear Admiral before the Brigadier had
time to be sworn !

The Murder by “Old Maids.”
Tiie teiegrapii reported, a few days since
the poisoning of a little girl in Philadel
j phia, and tiie arrest of two young ladies of,
i unmentionable agea.ou the suspicion that
i they had murdered the child for calling;
j them “old maids.” We find in tiie
1 dal phia Enquire*, of the 14th fust., a jvporj*
of the evi<l <• 11ce (■ iTblted o.f
vestigation. It appears to have been a
case of appaling atrocity.
A physician, tvho made a chemical ex
amination of matter taken from the child’s
stomach, testified that she was poisoned by
strychnine. The following is a portion of
tiie testimony of her mother ; c
j Mrs. Lizzie Richards testified: On the
loth tilt. 1 was Mauding at my ironing ta
i tie; my child was playing in the yard;
site called Rachel and Polly “dried-up old
i maids;” J saw Rachel up at the window ;
she said to Annie that her father told her
; t« say that; she says, “J thunk you, my
i lather did not toll me to say that;” Rachel
| said then, “Your mother told you to say
j it;” she says, " l thank you, my mother!
; did not tell me to say it;” l saw Rachel
| shake her fist and say, “I’ll fix you and
I your mother before long;” 1 did not know
| what she meant by it; it was just nine j
. days from the time she threatened that !
i my child was a corpse; I have seen cakes !
| and other things thrown into the yard by i
| Rachel and Polly Jones; on .Sunday af- :
| tcruoon, between 5 and ti o’clock, A unit- ;
; went out into tiie yard ; she was out there i
! quite a good hit; when she came in she'
it and a peach ; it was cut cross-wav to tin* i
stone ; she had taken one or two biles out
of that peach ; 1 asked her where she got
the peach ; slie said Rachel threw it over
and told her to eat it; 1 took the peach
away from tiie child at: 1 told lier that sits
ought notlo Jiu\e uple.i Jl ; »jn* said sho
had disobeyed her pappy, as Tie
j notlo pick up anything in the yard; the
peach looked as if it had been dropped into .
(lour ami then brushed off; vvliat was ou
the, peach 1 could not say ; I threw the i
peach back into the yard.
Annie took one or two bites out of the
peach before she wentout w ith her pappy,
and when site came home she said, ‘1 am
burning ji]>, inaiuraa, inside of me;’’ she *
asked me to give her some sugar ; instead !
of taking the sugar site biL toy linger; sin*
said, “Mamma, i aiu going to die ; i have j
eaten tbe peach that Ruche) threw over,”
and site called for water; I look no notice i
of the cakes thrown over ; the peacb. An- i
■lie said, tasted funny; it was dif!ei'« nt ;
from those that mamma gave to her; -he

A Neat Jon. -The robbery of Blue Hill
Bank, at Milton, Lower Falls, Ma-sadiu
detts, last Thursday noon, was cxmi:, and
with the remarkable neatness and dis
p,atoll. The bank is in the heart of the
village. The assistant cashier, R. P. To!- *
man, had just gone io the house nextdoor,
when three men drove up to the bank in
a buggy, passed up stair- to lie* business
room, and one of them presented a ten dol
lar bill to Mr. E. J. Bispham, a-king
change for it. While tiie cashier was mak
ing tiie change another of the party step
ped through the door of the counter and
presented a pistol at his head. Mr. I’.is
ptiarn stamped on the floor and called
loudly for help, when the man with the
pistol struck him upon the temple, felling ,
him to tiie floor. A gag was instanly
erarnmed in his mouth, handcuffs placed j
on his wrists, and hi- legs tied together.— j
Mcanwiliic, the third jobber rifled the
Cash-drawer and the vault, taking about
ten thousand dollars in cash, and a small
lin trunk of special dcjHisits, tiie value of
Which was not ascertained.
The robbers then started to leave, look
ing the bank door behind them. The call
of the eashier for help had been heard
across tiie street, and a citizen, going to
see what was tiie matter, met tiie thieves
on tiiestair* He.found the do r locked
and, with exceptional stupidity, set about
finding means of entrance, instead of rais
ing an alarm and having the robbers ar
rested. Asa consequence, the party got
clear away from town without interrup
tion.
Why Cotton Declines. — Northern |
factors and English dealers persist in tiie
belief that the crop of 18tt7 will nearly
touch, if it does not quite reach, .‘1,000,000
bales. They do not appear to place any
reliance upon the reports of serious dam
age, notwithstanding the evidence i.-* cu
mulative that excessive rains and tiie
worms have caused even now a falling oil'
of one-third, at the very least, of the pres
ent crop. A private letter from Liverpool
under date of August 2Sth, ays :
The depression iu Manchester has been
even more intense than liere, ami many
there fe**l that tin y must accept the alter
native of short time or bankruptcy. In
the present condition of tilings, consumers
will not pure.base where the prospect of a
profit is dubious and the chances of a con
siderable lo**s so great. We can look for
no real healthy trade until we see prices
considerably lower, or some substantial
ground on which we may conclude that
tiie American crop is not going to come up
to the figure placed upon it.”
As there are less than half a million
of bales of American cotton on baud in
Liverpool and ail the seaports of this
country, and as the most tightly closed
eyes must open at last under the pressure
of irresistible facts, the buyers of Liverpool
and Manchester must soon overhaul their
figures. If they base their calculations
ujxm barely 2,000,000 hales, they will have
much less chauge to make in their figures,
I' Kind Words at It untie.
| It Is one of the strange tidings connected
| with human nature, ihat familiarity with
| those who are tenderly beloved, should be
j:goi.ihdlflerenee to their happiness, or at
iiieijpt; a want of carefuhie-s in regard to the
thousand nameless little things which
F makejip tiie sum of human happiness.- -

with whom they are most intimately asso

There fs many a lather, there is many a
brother, and—alas! that I should write
it—thike is many a husband, morose and
severest) intercourse with those who are
“hisofcn,” when none but words of love
andgeptloness should fail from las lips, it !
is sad 5n think how many a heart ha* been
made ip ache by a cold, and to bleed by an
unkin l word, when it might just as easily
have i non made Happy by an expression
of lov. It it not tiie want of love of which
[ spea! , but the want of its expression in
words Hid acts.
It i* iec{JJess to say that while this la one
Os the laiiii'estatiOns of human nature, it
is arid* iilciice of its fallen - Late, and of its
havin', fallen very low. There is some- i
ihi tig ii human, absolutely fiendish in sueh
a temper; when we come to analyze it
Uvea !ic brutes express their fondness
firstVd Ml to their own kin.
But ,’hut is strangest of all is, that in so
many :nstauecs even the gentle, levelv
and io ing religion of Jc.-us fails to sweet 1
<*» the fern per and soften the manners of
those who have professedly embraced its
principles, at.d who are expected toexern
plify ill their lives what they have pro
fessed. . It is a shame, not to Christianity,
but to t‘>me who call themselves Chris- •
ti.ans, that there should be such a thing a >
a » o*eGin j-ijyu ; one who is unkind or
'severe lo theic'tvlui are bound to him by'
sacred ties. It is a sin against the Holy
Spirit of love and meekness, to treat with
untender severity, or even with co dne.-s,
those whose hearts are placed io our own
hands as it were* But let my readers an
swer whether there me not fathers and |
husbands find brothers who do thr- e cry

tians.
One of the fir-d fruits of genuine religion I
is to awaken in ihe heart tiie de-ire, amt?

J lie m in out of whom Jesus cast the legion
ot flevils, besought into that he might be
permitted to go with him, "Go home to:
thy friends and and tell them how great
things the Lord hath done for thee, and
hath httd eompa-don on thee.” To tin-'
old proverb, that “Charity b -gin * at home,” 1
it is an old answer that when it din-.-, or i
when the plea is made, charity is wry apt
to end there; but home— theb osom of one's
kindred and friends, is beyond all qu>*s
tiou the place where charity, true love,
ought to display itself first, and where its
brightest light should shine. It would be
a poor eoiiuueudalion of the religion of

The ambition of every young If -ion *

that, ami attended a course of medical

pond and was several times rescued from
drowning in its depths by the same police
man who to-day wanders along its stone,
carping, watching tin*- reflection of his
star in the water, as he did a quarter of a
century ago. bhe visits the pond daily on
her way to the natural history rooms,
where she inspects, with diurnal increase
of solicitude, ilie-bones ofilie megathe

Before my departure from the capital 1
heard that the body of tbe late Emperor
| had left tins place, and was well on its way

i w«»asked this morning if I would like to

witnessed in this city, now so widely cele
brated as tiie pface of tiie a«Sasination of
Maximilian and his generals. Nor can I
form any structure of language, which will
adequately impress the reader with a fatal
representation of all 1 would like to publish
to tiie world.
I found tiie coffin containing the e
mains, in a room in the second-story, of
the house occupied by Dr. Don Mu nos
Ledo. A soldier stood guard at the door,
ready to give admittance-to all who might
desire to look a! the body, which willing
ness was, in our case, somewhat acceler
ated by the influence of a few reals. Toe
apartment bore the appearance of having
once been used for a siore-room, and was
both very dark aus extremely filthy. The
coffin stood in t lie center of the room, rest
ing upon a couple of rude, wood benches.
It is covered with black doth, adorned
with a <*, lieap quality of gold luce, the top
of which has a false cover or lid, opening
whitdt case revealed three glasses, through
w hich the silent form ol tiie ill-fated Aus- :
triun was shown by tiie aid of a penny !
tallow cuddle kept by the soldier for visi
tor-.’ use. The Emperor was dressed in a
suit composed of a blue coat, with a row of
brass I 111 turns in irout, dark blue pants and :
heavy cavalry Loots. His hands were !
Covered with a pair of white gloves, very
much >'Oiled. ■ His mouth and eyes were
partially open, plainly showing "his teeth
and the color of his eye- His beard is
qunegom;, as Well a-the greater part, of

cut oil’by Hr. Li.*-o, wiio had eiiarge of
tiie embalmment, and sold, he receiving
as high as live ounces—eighty dollars—-for
‘•mail locks of the same. Tiie body of the
Emperor remained »t Lisso’s house until
ia-l week, when it wa- removed toils pres

I He also di-poseil of whatever effects be
longing to Maximilian he couid obtain,,
charging large sums for small piece** oi In*
ldooa—laiued garments which iie cut up]
and sold. It is also alleged that he lias:
even removed a small portion of the skull,
for which he obtained a large suro, replac- j
ing it with wood. I can not vouch for!
this, Hut it has genera! belief here. The,’
doctor Hitirns that the Government hits ;
failed to pay hint his hill for the embalm
ment, of some iIUJ.’Oo, and declares his 1
intention of making his money t!ie*Suiest
way possible.

had beyn wounded In the face, and failed j
in Lisso’s assistance, who extended the!
operation to as a long a period as possible, ;
and wm n Mirmnoti learned tiie city hud

lonurutitlallons from liic tiranrt lurk
The Ministe* Extraordinary of the
i Grand Turk l>y name Blaeque, lias been
introduced to tlie President and delivereti
his credentials. At his reception Mr.
■ Mussulman Blaeque said:
I “There is still one remarkable circurn
i stance perhaps not; yet surticiently under
| stood in this quarter of the world, where,
i however, so mucins known, namely: That
these two nations differ slightly in the
principles on which their social organiza
tion is based; and while on the one hand
the extent ot ocean which s qmratea and
divides them seems destined to keep, them
strangers to each other, on the other the
democratic affinities of their institutions
tend to draw them to one another.”
The tiuitau o! Turkey declares to the
United States through his representative,
that the Ottoman Empire is nearly allied
to the itepuhheof the United States by
“(lie democratic affinities of their institu
tions.” I util the Radicals passed the
military acts, the. representative of Ma
homet and vicar of A Mali did not discover
that the Empire of Turkey was closely al
lied in “social organization” to the United
iStut.es. The alliance offensive and defen
sive between the United .Slates and Russia
was a little startling. The Russian bear
embracing the American eagle drew tears
of joyful surprise from Mr. Jonathan and
Mr. Cossack. 'I he Cossack had a Poland
timier his feet; so had Jonathan. The
Cossack had a Siberia ; and Pope is pre
paring the loyal mind for a .sitka. The
voice of a single < zar declares the terms of
loyalty and patriotism ; the voiceof a hun
dred Congressional ('zars is equally as im
perious. The coalition between brute force
at At. Petersburg and h ute force at Wash
ington drew tears, from the eyes of the sol
dier ot Massacbuselts and the statesman of
Sooth Carolina, as they entered the Phila
delphia Convention arm in arm.
Rut the coalition between the Mussul
man and the American, based upon simi
larity of “social organizations;” is far more
striking than the coalition between the bear
•and the eagle. Russia had a Poland, and
Turkey had a Candia. The CandinleA are
contending for constitutional government
arainst a military Emir. Boston is sending
supplies to the rebels. Tire 'lurks are
burning the houses over the poor women
and children in order to crush out the re
bellion, and along the shores of fair Crete,
the birtiip-a vof Jove and the home of
Venus, “a crow in flying over would he
compelled to carry his rations.” Did Mr.
Mussulman Blaeque mean tosay that “Co
lumbia, fair gem of the ocean,” has a 1
Candia in ruins for acrow? 'The Empire of j
Turkey believes in a multiplicity of wives; j
so do l tali and Chicago. The Ottoman ]
has a Palestine and an Epims, Greek
Christians who are disfranchised and!
Jews who are treated as less than human. |
A few thousand dussulinen have arbitra- i
ry rule, and dictate law to millions of the j
unfaithful. The colored Arab si'.s upon I
the grave of the law-giver Moses, who was I
not destined to enter the promised land, j
And so the United i-tates have their dis- !
franchised Christians and Jews; so a min- ]
orty ot “the faithful” lord over a majority
of “infidels;” and so the colored men are
lieing advised by our Pachas and seat j
themselves upon the grave of their Moses j
at Wasington. r l tie .Mi.-sulman applies
the bastinado to the feet of unbelievers; !
and our Pacbas apply it to the shoulders j
of provisional istate officers and members j
of the press. Die Ottoman sews his wife '
i In a sai-k and throws her into the Kos
pborus; and under our ‘social organiza
tion” the Xo;t tern Htates sew their sister
States in the sack of military law and dash
them into the yawning gulf of Congo

To complete the interesting “affinity,”

1 lie Zouave, Jacob, received several
hundred visits a day, and as lie only had !
a few hours furlough from his regiment, !
he w s obliged to dispatch his ad in hers \
rapidly, tso they were admitted in plat- j
oons of twenty, and the Zouave, ordering !
that no one should move or speak to him, i
passed in front of each, saying; “You, 1
sir, you have paralysis; throw down,
your crutches and walk! Walk, I tell
you! And the man often walked. “ You, '
Madam, you are;tdind. Look at me! Look j
at me, I >ay! and the astonished woman j
often thought she did see. “ Vou, Sir, you I
have rheumatism. Throw away your
cane, and get yourself off!” And so on to j
1 the end. There was no magnetism, no
pronouncing of cabalistic phrases, no
movement of the hands, Jacob does not
pretend to any knowledge,eitherof disease
or of magnetism, or of spiritualism. For
Jo years, he says, he lias observed that his
presence .done suffices to cure paralysis
and c>ther forms of grave disease. He does
not know how it is done. He supposes
himself to posess some sort of power
stronger than other men. He does not
seek uppluuse ; on the contrary, he avoids
the ovations he would certainly receive
from the hundreds who gather daily to see
him in the Rue de la lioquette. He re
ceives no remuneration from any one, and
has grown insensibly and without fore
thought into his present colossal reputa
tion. Me plays the trombone—he is in tiie i
band—every morning in his regiment,
and only comes to Paris late in the after
noon, after giving a sitting of consuita
tions at Versailles. Fie is, no doubt,
bewildered at his success, for the journals
contain columns daily about him. Titled
and other persons of high social standing,
certify in tiie journals to miraculous cures !
performed on themselves.

An ttngiisii Horror.
'1 be atrocity ot the Ccriell murder in
New Jersey has been surpassed by a hor
rible affair at the market town of Alton,
in Hampshire, England. Ou the afternoon
of the -Ith of August, some children were
playing in a meadow ju-t uutside the town,
when a strange man heefconed to one of
them, a child of eight years, named Fanny
Adams, and «*axed her, by a present of a
halfpenny, to go with him into a •neigh
boring hop-garden. She was never seen
again alive. The same evening a laborer
going home from work, found m the hop
ganien a dissevered head resting upon two
hop-polea at the foot of a hedge. He ran
with it to the cuttageof the Adams family,
and it was immediately recognized as the
head sis the missing girl. The whole
population now turned out to search the
neighboring fields. A leg and foot were
found in one place, a forearm in another;
a hand, severed (pointho wrist, a foot cut
off at the ankle, the mutilated trunk, full
ot stabs and gashes a part ol an arm, the
heart and intestines, and tin- tattered
remnants ot flje clothes were picked up
scattered over long distances The eyes
had been gouged out, tin-ears cut otT, and
the flesh of tiie legs and t highs ripped open
to tin* kone. A young man named Baker
—a ietlow of indifferent oharanter —-was
arrested on suspicion, and I luces of blood
were found ou his clothes, wliiie in bis
diary wa,s this entry, in a bold and un
faltering hand: “Saturday, August 24,
killed “a young girl: line and hot.” A
coroner’s jury found him guilty, and lie
was field for trial. The circumstantial
evideneeagainat the prisoner seems strong.
The chief point in his favor is the iHillcul
ty of imagining how any body but a rav
ing maniac—and he is certainly not that
—could commit suc-h a frightful butch
ery.
The Chicago Times pays Mr. Stanton but
a questionable'compliment when it says:
• Stnnsm is said to he tiity two years
old. If this man had begun early in lire
to cultivate honesty, lie might to-day, be
the most honest man on the face of the
globe.”
Upon the Mountains.
For some days past we.have been trying
the efficacy of mountain air and are well
pleased with the result.
Leaving our city we passed a pleasant
day in the delightful little city of Griffin,
where we attended a trial of skill on the
part of the Griffin Base Bail Giub. The
playing was quite spirited and prepared
us for the result attained in the trial with
the Macon Base Baliists. Our opinion is
that Base Ballis.a very good exercise, but
cutting wood or digging the earth is not
more laborious and far more profitable.
We ain’t a Base-Balli>t.
Leaving Griffin, we passed a day in the
Gate City, where we met our g- >d looking
and polite co ifrere*, Major Steele, and
Capt. Sisson of the Intel. l igenaer, who were
in their usual good spirits and health.
The Intelligencer is (he paper of Atlanta
now, and we are glad to see it is doing &
good business.
One of the incidents of our travel, was
the burning of the Crutchfield House in
Chattanooga, which occurred on the day
of our passage through that town. This
house, although a very irreri >r one, was
the best the town of Chattanooga aflf-rded.
We hope to see one better take its place.
Getting into Brownlow's country, we
at once felt the influence of tiie Parson,
a.id on all sides were harangued aoout
burthersome taxes, unfiir elections and
general insecurity of every thing. The re
spectable people of Tennessee seem de
sirous of getting from under the yoke of
oppression, and held up for our inspection,
and as a warning to us of Georgia, the
condition of that unhappy State.
Having reached our destination, we par
took of the hospitality of our friend, Mr.
Ladd, and his estimable lady, and amused
ourself for several days inspecting the coal
mines in that section. The mines w’ork
ed by Mr. Ladd is one of the best in the
country, and has an abundant yield of
the finest biturnous coal we have ever seen.
This coal is considered superior to auy
other, and is used by the Rail Roads on
that route. Parties desiring to save
money can make it an object worth the
trouble by addressing Mr. D. B. Ladd,
Whiteside, N. <feu. R. R. Tenn.
A NEW HELL.
Speaking of the condition of Tennessee
politically, we are reminded of having
heard that State classed as a hell on earth,
more times than once, but we do not re
collect having ever seen in print a vision
as beheld by the Parson, (we suppose
while he was so ill and when it was hoped
by respectable people that the old fellow
would shuffle off this mortal coil). The
vision, as described, was to the effect tiiat
Brownlow visited Hell and knocked for
admission ; after repeated efforts to gam
admission without success, the door o
hell was partially opened, and the demand
made to know who waited, and for what
purpose. Brownlow replied that he de
sired to enter and look through the place.
The reply was that the place was hell, and
he could not enter. Brownlow repeated
his request for admission, and the devil
asked his Dame; upon the reply, it was
W. G. Brownlow, Governor of Tennessee,
the devil slammed the door too, and
giving him a coal of fire aud some brim
stone, told him that he did not desire his
company, but that he might go and start
a hell of his own. Brownlow returned to
Teuneasee, opened his hell, and from re
port, is in a fair way of rivalling the older
Satan successfully.
Yellow Fever. —Keterring to the epi
demic dow raging not only in that city,
but in many other localities in Texas and
Louisiana, the New Orleans Crescent of
the 23d says that its progress there is una
bated, and that from present indications
there is no good reason for expecting any
change until steady cool weather sets in.
The accounts from several }>oints in
Texas, already published in our telegraphic
columns, are fearfully distressing. La
grange, in that State, has been truly rav
aged by the disease, and other localities
are not much better off. We noticed, yes
terday, that at Mobile two mote cases had
been reported. Thus far, our own sea
ports have been most gratifyingly exempt.
Not a single case of anything having the
remotest resemblance to the dtraded pes
tilence, has been reported at Savannah,
and the health of the city, generally, was
never better. We trust—and with every
reason to think we shall not be disap
pointed—that as Jack Frost is not many
days’ ma r eh off, now, we may not be
obliged to report otherwise.
Speaking of the prospect of an c.iriy fall
and winter, and of some rather unusual de
velopments in the progress of the disease
this season, the Creuccnt says :
Many persons predict an ea ly fail and
winter, owing to the appearance, at tins
unusually early time, at their favorite
haunts, of several varieties of migratory
birds, who come to the neighborhood ot
the gulf for a winter’s residence. It is
earnestly hoped that these birds may be
indeed winged harbiinjcrs of the speedy
return of health to our ass icted people.
Although the cases o! ’.ever are general
ly quite mild, the number of sufferers are
very great. It has attacked old residents
aud children born here, and has been quite
as fatal among those heretofore considered
acclimated as among those who have but
recently come to New Orleans from the
North. Despite the authority of a 'city
contemporary to the contrary, the epidemic
lias assailed a considerably number of the
colored population. These cases have been
generally light, though some have been
quite serious. We hear of numerous in
stances where patients who have apparent
ly completely recovered from a mild -form
of the disease have had relapses, when tiie
fever had developed itself in a most viru
lent form, aud death has followad the first
returning symptoms with great rapidity.
These deplorable incidents should warn
all who are attacked by the fever to exer
cise the greatest caution during the daysof
convalescence, and even for some time
after their health seems completely restor
ed. The sun’s rays and the damps of the
night, and early morning air, are equally
to be avoided as very pernicious to the
convalescent.
Samuel Griswold. —We have inad
vertantly omitted to notice the death of
this well-known gentleman, who died at
his residence in Griswoldville, in Jones
county, on the 14th iust, aged about 77
years.
He was probably better known to planters*
than any other men in all tiie cotton States
for his “ cotton gins,” having first per
fected his machinery for their manufac
ture under skillful mechanics, tone of
which was A. D. Brown now of Columbus.,»
He was a man of great energy and enter
prise, and at the commencement of the
late war, probably had more white me
chanics aud operatives of various kinds,
j dependant on him for a support than any
other man in the Slate.
In connection with his various works,
[ he had built up a considerable village, all
of which, except his dwelling, were de
stroyed Jin the progress of .Sherman’s
army.
“Dirty John” Bogan,as they call him
at home, made a speech in Belmont
county, Ohio, on the 14th insi., in the
course of which he proclaimed himself .n
favor of negro sutTrage anu negro equality
—to vole and to hold office —and lectared
that he would sooner set in Congress
alongside of a negro than a Democrat, and
lie hoped negro Congiessmen would be
sent up from the South.
A writer in the pious Independentstig
gests a pious method of netting ri.l of the
President. He says: “Let him be tried
by a court-martial, and shot by twelve
soldiers in a hollow square.
