THE PATH THROUGH THE CORN.
Wavy and bright in the summer air—
Like a quiet sea when the winds blow lair.
Ami its roughest breath has scarcely curled
The green highway to an unknown world—
Soft whispers passing from shore to shore,
Like a heart content —vet desiring more;
Who feels forlorn,
Wandering tlms on the path through the corn ?
A short space since, and the dead leaves lay
Corrupting under the hedgerow gray;
No hum of insect nor voice of bird
O’er the desolate Held was ever heard ;
Only at eve the pallid snow
blushed rose-red in the red sun-glow ;
Till one blest morn
Shot up into life the young green corn.
Small and feeble, slender and pale,
It bent its head to the winter gale.
Hearkened the wren’s soft note of cheer,
Scarcely believing Spring was near;
Saw cheenuts bud out, and champions blow,
And dailies mimic the vanished snow,
Where it was born.
On either side of the patli through the coru.
"> I e < ora - the cort»-4be beautiful corn,
Rising wonderfully, morn by morn,
First, scarce as high as a fairy’s wand,
'1 lien, just in reach of a child's wee hand,
Then growing, growing—tall, green and strong,
With ihc voice of the harvest in its song,
While in fond scorn
1 he lark out carols the murmuring corn.
O strange, sweet path, formed day by day,
How, when and wherefore—tongue cannot say,
No more than of life’s strange paths we know
Whither they lead us, or why we go,
< >r whether our eyes shall ever see
The wheat in the ear, or the fruit on the tree.
Yet—who is forlorn ?
Heaven, that watered the furrows, will ripen ttie
corn.
DEMOCRATIC IIMIIIKMK \T PRATTSBURG,
TALBOT COIATY.
PUATTSBURG, TaLBOT COUNTY, Ga.
According to previous appointment, a
Democratic Barbecue was given by the
citizens of Talbot and Taylor counties, at
Prattaburg, on the 2!Hh of August. Dur
ing the night previous, there arrived from
Columbus, Frank Rly, John Stapler, John
Conley, and the Columbus Brass Band —
all colored men and good Democrats, and
ready to take part in the mooting.
Next day, at to o’clock A. M., (.’apt. F.
M. McKenney, the marshal of the day,
marched ttie immense crowd to the grove
near by, accompanied by music from the
Brass Band. The exercises were then
opened by Frank Bly, colored, who spoke
about twenty minutes, much to the satis
faction of his hearers, giving many rea
sons why his colored friends should vote
for Beymour and Blair.
Judge .1. M. Mathews then arose and
addressed the meeting about two hours, in
a clear, forcible and elaborate manner,
covering nearly all the issues in the cam
paign.
Dinner being announced ready, all the
crowd were Invited to the tables, which
were well furnished with plenty of sub
stantial eatables, prepared in a way that
did credit to the cooks.
As soon as dinner was over, the multi
tude again assembled at the stand for
speaking.
John Conly, colored, was introduced,
who spoke about thirty-live minutes very
earnestly and convincingly. Hegaveus a
history of the unkind treatment and abuse
lie received from the Radicals North,
where lie lias resided during the several
last years, until recently. Ho said the
Radicals notwithstanding their professed
friendship for tiie blacks, really hated
them at heart, and have no sympathy with
them ; that tiicy tell them lies to deceive
them, and arc riding into otlice ou the
hacks of the colored men, that they may
make nine dollars a day.
He appealed earnestly to his colored
friends to have nothing to do with them,
hut to guard well against tlie many plans
and plots they lay to deceive them. He
said the Radicals North would not give the
blacks employment—nor would they care
for them, consequently thousands of them
die of cold and hunger. He admonished
them that if they care for themselves or
their wives and children, to stick to the
white people whom they have known
long and well. He said the worst wish I
can wish you Radical negroes, who will
not believe the truth when told to you, is
that you wore taken right up anil carried
North—and there compelled to live with
your pretended friends.
The next speaker was John Stapler,
(colored,) the noble black man who suffer
ed almost martyrdom at Fort Pulaski,
from the hands of the Radicals, that they
might make him swear a lie and have in
nocent men hung in the Ashburu mur
der case—so they might linger the reward
money that had been offered to lasten
guilt on the assassins. He told about the
sweat box, and of their shaving his head
and presenting the cannon at him, and
threatening him, in order to make him
implicate innocent men, and his deter
mination to sutler death rather than swear
a lie.
The name of John Stapler will never
die until truth and justice cease to bo re
garded virtues. Col- VV. S. Wallace then
arose and addressed the meeting about
one hour in his usual happy and earnest
manner. It is sutHoient to say it was a
convincing and telling effort. Col \Y allace
is quite a favorite in this section, (he being
raised in this immediate neighborhood,
and white and colored would be pleased
for him to be the next Representative
from this District to Congress.
Now comes the concluding and most in
teresting part of the day’s exercises: when
Frank Bly, colored President of the Col
ored Seymour and Blair Club in Colum
bus, arose and said : “I am now going to
open the loor of the church. 1 now pro
pose to organize at this place, among the
colored people, a Seymour and Blair Club,
and all who are willing to join it will
come up and give your names to Dr.
Mathews.”
The meeting now presented an old-fash
ioned camp-meeting appearance. The
Brass Band struck up a lively tune; durs
ing theplayingof which, one colored man
after another manifested their determina
tion to quit Radicalism and in the future
to act with the Democrats, by having their
names enrolled as members of the Sey
mour and Blair Club, until thirty-six
names were recorded ; and some others
say they are now convinced that Radical
ism will not do, and they will join the
Club at some future time —while others
still, say they “won’t join nothing, but
are plum certain they are not going to vote
Radical any more.” There is good pros
pect that the Club will prosper, and that
its roll will soon contain the nanry»■ \
voters tn this
ntugKborhood.
Good order was observed during the day,
which perhaps was owing to Thomas
Belyau refusing, on that day, to sell or
furnish spirituous liquors. Late in the af
ternoon the crowd dispersed, and all the
Democrats feeling well pleased with the
results of the meeting. “And the blacks,
they‘fit’nobly.” W. P. M.
An Eagle Kills a Child.— A Tippah
county (Miss.) school-teacher writes to the
Winona Democrat as follows :
‘‘A sad casualty occurred at my school
a few days ago. The eagles have been
very troublesome in the neighborhood for
some time past, carrying off pigs, lambs,
Ac. No one thought that they would at
tempt to prey upou children; but on
Thursday, at reeess, the little boys were
out some* distauce from the house, playing
marbles, when their sport was disturbed
by a large eagle swoopiugdoown and pick
ing up little Jeminie Kenny, a boy of eight
years, and tiyiug away with hint. The
children cried out; end when J got out of
the house the eagle was so high that I
could just hear the child screaming. Ihe
alarm was given, and from screaming and
shouting in the air, Ac., the eagle was in
duced to drop his victim ; but his talous
had been buried in him so deeply, and the
fall was so great, that he was killed ; or
either would have been fatal.”

LETTER FROM NEW TOUR
New York, Bept. 1868.
Editors Journal and Messenger :
You see I am now in Gotham —and cer
tainly I feel as much at home here as I
can do any where North our own sunny
home. Here a Southern man finds what he
does not any where else in the North, a host
of generous fellows ready to give him the
right hand of fellowship. New York will
show her faith by her works in November.
The prevailing opinion here is that the
city will be carried by a majority of from
80,000 to 90,000, while the State will also be
sure for Seymour and Blair by a very
heavy majority.
There is hut little fear among our friends
here as to the success of the Democracy.
Ihe Radicals are becoming disheartened
and demoralized, and will do their utmost
to get up trouble at the South. If they
succeed and make a terrible show of dis
loyalty (as they call it) down South, it may
cause a re-action in this ever changing
section. It will he difficult, however, to
deceive the solid men of this country by
imaginary scarecrows, such as Harper
has in his last Weekly, (a negro down,
flat on bis face, with three white' iueu on
him). There are too many vital issues
involved. They are tired of the waron the
South, which increases taxation and keeps
up public distrust. They are beut on a
change, and it will take the combined
efforts of Harper's Weekly, Frank Leslie
and Henry Ward Beecher , and ail other
sensationalists, to shake them from this
purpose.
Straws show which way the wind blows.
A newsboy was selling political badges ou
the train as we came along on the Balti
more and Ohio Road with a long train of
passengers for the West. I said, “Os
which do you sell the most, Grant iuJ
ooitax, or Seymour and Blair?” Here
plied, “ Why, I sell two Seymour badges
to one of Grant’s” A manufacturer of
envelopes in this city, who lias an exten
sive trade throughout the Union, is mak
ing a political envelope for eacli party.
He assured me yesterday that his sales of
Seymour and Blair envelopes were almost
four to one more than Graut’s. So it goes.
I hear but little said in favor of Grant.
W hen I hear a Grant man talk he only
pours out the vials of his wrath against
our candidates—calling them secessionists,
Copperheads, &c. On this subject the
World says:
We wish the Republican stump orators
would consent to learn a lesson of candor
from the speakers on the Democratic side.
Hardly a Republican speech is made in
which Governor Seymour is not repre
sented as a traitor and an abettor of the
New York riots. But, on the other hand,
the Democratic speakers treat Gen. Grant
with marked courtesy and forbearance.
Mr. Pendleton, in his speeches in Maine,
and Mr. Church, in his recent speech in
this State, are conspicuous examples of
the practice generally followed by those
who have addressed public meetings ou
the Democratic side. Even General Blair,
who has been the target for so much Re
publican abuse, has not been provoked
into retaliation, and has never spoken of
Grant in a tone of uukiudness. But so
universal is the outpouring of calumny on
the other side, that even Mr. Beecher,
clergyman as he is, and bound by his pro
fession to be a pattern of that charity
which thinketh no evil, wantonly accuses
the Democratic caudidate of being not
only a traitor but so cowardly a traitor
that lie durst not expose himself to the
proper consequences of his treason.
But it may be said, I write all this from
New York, but the country elsewhere
will be different. Not to. While in Phila
delphia, I went with a friend twelve miles
in the country to spend a day or two.
Here I found the most out-spoken oppo
sition to Radicalism. I had the pleasure
to meet Mr. H. a distinguished lawyer
from Philadelphia. He assured me that
it would be impossible to prevent the elec
tion of our candidates. He says Philadel
phia city, as well as Pennsylvania, will
give Seymour and Blair a large majority.
Then I told him that Georgia, and other
Southern States would vote the Demo
cratic ticket, lie said, ‘‘where tlieu will
the Radical party get their an they
cannot. carry me North ?” 1 may be over
sanguine, hut really so far as I can see
now, tiie prospect of success in Novem
ber is very tlattering. I say then to our
friends South, cheer up! Keep cool!
Don’t be betrayed into any act that can he
used by tiie enemy against your section !
Work hard! and above all, commit your
cause with fervent prayer to God, and
your deliverance will surely come. B.

Editors Journal and Messenger:
The Vermont election lias given tire
Radicals quite a chance for rejoicing, and
they are making good use of it. They
think it indicative of the future triumph
of their candidate in the North. They
seem to forget that Vermont has always
been radical—that the majority now is not
equal to that given Mr. Lincoln—that it
was an election for State officers, where
there was no possible hope for success on
the part of the Democracy— that there
was, therefore, no incentive for the Dem
ocrats to work. They forget the great
change in other States, where there was a
different set of circumstances. Well, let
them shout—let them rejoice—but we
opine they will laugh on the other side of
their mouths before a great while. The
Herald thinks the Democratic defeat in
Vermont is owing to the speeches of
Wade Hampton, General C’obb and oth
ers, which have aroused the war spirit of
the North. But nobody here attaches any
importance to the Herald's opinions. The
Express, of to-day, says :
“ The Radicals swell their majority by
the large gains over last year, and they
are equal to thirty-five per cent, upon
their immense majority—that is they poll
135 votes now for the 100 polled a year
since. The Radicals state this part of the
case and leave it,—forgetting to add the
whole truth, which is that the Democratic
gains are larger than their own, and
that for every 100 votes polled in 1867, the
Democrats now cast one hundred und for
ty-five, or an increase of ten per cent, over
the Republican gain. This is well for
Vermont, and all that the Democrats
could expect from a State almost without
free discussion or Democratic journals.”

departments until within a few weeks
past. The Southern trade is beginning to
be felt here now, and merch»"‘“ 1111

I want to give a word of caution to your
readers, who may be coming North—in
regard to the routes from Atlanta to this
1 point. At Atlanta a traveler has choice
! of twenty-five routes, and if he does not
make this choice himself, the ticket agent
will probably give him a ticket over the
worst route of all, as he has done in two
instances Tinder my own observation.
We allude to the route via Parkersburg on
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Don’t
have a ticket on this route—it is a very
poor route It is from twelve to sixteen
hoars behind other routes. The cars are
dirty aud old fashioned, and everything
that is undesirable is encountered on this
route. There is a detention of two hours
at Grafton. Then, when you get to Balti
more, you have choice either to wait from
4:30 to 9 o’clock for a train, or to walk two
miles to the Philadelphia Depot for an
earlier train. So, we say to our friends,
take some other route. We are not the
champion of any particular route. We
only want to warn our friends from being

LETTER FROM BALTIMORE.
A Maryland Camp-Meeting.
Baltimore, Md , Sept. 4th, 1868.
Tiie most popular assemblages I have
ever witnessed in any country are the An
nual Camp-meetings of Maryland. In al
most every section of the State the Metho
dists, who are the leading denomination
of Protestant Christians, hold their annual
festival. Hundreds, and I may say thou
sands, leave the city to attend them— some
of them taking along their own tents and
pitching them in some beautiful grove
where tiie oaks have been- thinned out,
and there erect an altar for a week or ten
days’ worship. A Quarterly Conference
or District Meeting is held, and the most
distinguished ministers are usually pres
ent on these occasions. They differ in
many respects from our Georgia camp meet
ings. Here the area is not half so large ;
tiie seats for the congregation filling up
almost entirely tiie inner circle. Tiie
tents are neatly lined with the ‘‘fly” as In
tiie army. They are not so large as our
hoard cabins. There is no shed—they de
pend upon tiie shade of the forest oaks to
protect them from tiie summer’s sun, and
repair to a large union tent for services
during a passing shower. They have also
regular boarding tents where strangers
can he independent and pay for their own
meals. Tiie liospitality of tiie people is,
however, unbounded and many of tiie
neighboring tent-holders feed immense
numbers of their brethreu from a distance.
These public Hotels are regularly licenced
and some table-keepers find it quite a pay
ing business.
uicau and meat stalls are also appurt
ances—pounds are also provided when
horses are cared for; all of which pay
tribute for general expenses. Many of tiie
people in tiie city find a week spent at a
camp-meeting a great health-restorer —
preferring such a retreat where they can
enjoy country air in fellowship with
Christian friends, and listen to eloquent
preaching to the crowded halls of wicked
sea-shore entertainments, or tiie giddy
rounds of the fashionable watering places.
In this they display much wisdom, as it
is really a more inviting place to visit to
good men than among the promiscuous
crowd that worship at theshrineot a profli
gate world. This year these meetings have
bi en more than usually interesting. Just
above us, on tiie line of Pennsylvania, the
Northern Methodists have just held tiie
great National Camp-meeting, where
every State in tiie Union was said to have
been represented. Thousands of people
attended from far and near, and preach
ing was conducted from eight stands at
the same hour. Bishop Simpson, the
great Politico-eclesiastical leader of tiie
Black Republican party, presided, and
gave cast and co or to the meeting. Near
this city, in a beautiful grove, the South
ern Methodists held a meeting of most de
lightful service. Our Dr. Huston held
an honorable place in the pulpit, which, I
am glad to say, was unstained with politi
cal sentiment.
Recently a great camp meeting was held
among the old yeomanry of the Eastern
Shore, where Bishop Doggettpresided.and
preached the unadulterated Gospel, while
many flocked to the standard of tiie South
ern Church. While the Methodists were
holding these great woods meetings, the
Germans in tiie city were celebrating their
annual Schutzen festival. With bauuers
and music, they formed a procession on
Baltimore street, and inarched down
through a lofty arch overstretching the
street, highly and significantly decorated,
on their way to a native grove. Conspicu
ous in their midst was a company of little
boys in green jackets, white pants, with
caps and black belts. The day was cele
brated with dancing, music, shooting, va
rious amusements, aud oceans of the in
dispensable latter, .-ccasronaily mixed with
mean American whiskey.
The Democratic party have just met to
place Presdential Electors in the field, so
tiiat onr political movements will be here
after noticed in a more tangible shape.
There is no doubtful issue here, as the
State is pledged almost unanimously for
Seymour and Blair. Away down in a
dirty hole in East Baltimore, the passen
ger on the Philadelphia train will see a
dingy, tattered flag, with Grant and Col
fax upon its folds, swinging across a dis
mal street, from two old dilapidated build
ings, as the headquarters of the members of
this forlorn party. This is a fit place and
a fair representation of the dark brother
hood.
The late action of the New York mer
chants in reference to Southern trade lias
astonished our leading commercial men
here. They repudiate such a principle,
and seem inclined to stick closer and help
their Southern customers more than ever.
The leading news journals here denounce
the principle of refusing our good men
credit, and they reflect the true spirit of
her Baltimore merchants. I trust our
people will not be untrue to them. Already
it is rumored that Southern merchants,
who have money, are passing on to New
York—ignoring the claims of this city. I
do not sec how they can he so grossly in
sulted and so quietly submit, without the
deepest feelings of indignation. Balti
more has stood nobly by tbe.South in her
deepest distress and poverty. Many of us
have found here peaceful homes. We
have been received with open hands and
treated kindly by these noble, generous
people. They are in deepest sympathy
with us, and long to see us again free,
prosperous and happy. Let us cherish a
feeling of gratitude for past favors and cul
tivate a lasting friendship and fraternal
intercourse that shall demonstrate that
such confidence has been bestowed upou
worthy objects among a generous people.
Don’t forget Baltimore, my Southern
friends. Syn.

Editor Journal and Messenger :
I wish to ask through your columns the
reason that a railroad eanuot transport
freight at as low figures as common road
wagons; and why it is that the South
western Railroad charges nearly as much
for hauling freight 106 miles as the Cen
tral Railroad does for 196 miles. Below are
some figures which I have the railroad re
ceipts, Ac., in my hands to prove them to
be true. The shipments were made by J.
B. Ross A Son, to Americus :
Three boxes Mdse, weighingßlo lbs., freight $ 7.56
Oue lot Mdse, weighing 12S0 lbs., freight.. 10.67
Now this is about twenty-five cfeuts per
hundred rnofe than road wagous charged
between the two places in 1848 aud 1849,
aud fully as much as through freight to
Alba ny.
Again on the 7th aud loth of August I
shipped three bushels of Peaches, well
boxed, to Albany. I prepaid $1 4o each
time at Americus, aud the same freight
was again collected at Albauy. I thought
the charges pretty heavy at one end of the
road, but when it cotues to getting pay at
both ends, Lord deliver us.
I will take this occasiofi to mention that
I had to shave Sumter county money off
at 25 per cent to pay the freight, which
makes about 30 cents actual money in my
pocket; when I havesl iu Sumter money.
By carefully footing up these figures,
freights here cost within a fraction of $2 60
per hundred from Macon. So between
the exorbitant Railroad charges and
comity .money below par, a man cannot
tell how much money he has, nor how much
he lias to pay. Respectfully.

SINGULAR SAGACITY.
A Dog Recapture* Hi* Master * Horse from Thieve*.
The best dog story v. inch we have heard
of for some time, and which is vouched
for to tie true in every particular, comes
to us from Robertson couuty. A few
nights ago Mr. Williams, who resides
about four miles west of Springfield, let a
neighbor, -Mr. Pettit, have Hie use of bis
dog to assist and protect Him from chicken
thieves. About twelve o’clock on
same night a burglar entered the stable of
Mr. Williams and stole therefrom a young
bay mare, with a saddle and bridle, and
was riding along the road pa<t Pettit’s
house, when tiie dog commenced barking,
and breaking his chain, bounded over the
fence and daslied after the horsemau at
full speed. The chase continued for four
miles, when the horse stumb ed and fell.
The dog rushed up and immediately at
tacked, it is supposed, tiie daring thief,
who tired three shots at the animal, but
missed him, as no marks were found upon
him.
Whether tiie dog closed iu upon the
thief, or whether the thief took to his
heels across the country, has not been
definitely ascertained, but the dog caught
hold of the bridle lines in his mouth, and
led tiie horse buck three miles, where lie was
met by Mr. Pettit and ins man. who were
aroused by tbe furious sounds, and were
following in the direction whither they
went. Mr. Pettit immediately recognized
the horse and dog, and at once surmised
what had happened. Tiie whole four, tbe
two men, dog and horse, returned to Mr.
Williams’, whom they found fast asleep,
altogether ignorant of what had taken
place. Tiie next day several people in tiie
locality testified to hearing three distinct
shots tired about the place where tee dog
brought tiie robber to bay, and one of the
bullets was found on the road about four
hundred yards from the spot where tiie
scutflo toook place. The dog is about four
years old, and weighs about forty-five
pounds. Mr. Williams would not part
with him for any money.

(Jeneral Grant Don’t Want to be
“ Mixed Up”— He will not come to
Washington before November. —A
high Government official of this city, ays
tiie Washington Express, of Friday, re
ceived a letter from General Grant, on
Wednesday, in which he (General G.)
states his intention of remaining away
from Washington until a few days before
the election, as he does not want to be
“mixed up”iu any political complications.
Tiiat lie will not return to Washington
until the latter part of October, is perfectly
understood iu military circles. What the
great expectant captain means by being
“mixed up” is difficult to understand. It
is well known here tiiat lie intended to
return to this city in iHe early part of this
mouth, in company with Speaker Colfax,
who has telegraphed that lie (U.) will be
here on the 17th instant. The change of
intention was brought about by a consul
tation of tbe Radical leaders with Director
Washburne.
The September session of Congress—
The Georgia Negro Eligibility Ques
tiou. — Washington September 6.—lt is re
ported that General Sehenok lias tele
graphed or written to parties here to the
effect that in Liis opinion it would not be
advisable for Congress to hold a session
before December. Senator Morgan is re
ported as concurring with Gen. Schenck
in this opinion, and if so, there will cer
tainly be no quorum in either House on
tiie 21st inst.
Some parties have suggested a session
because of the action of the Georgia Legis
lature in the expulsion of colored mem
bers of that body, but upon consideration
of tiie matter they conclude that the pow
er of Congress to grant any relief to the
expelled negroes, or to take legislative ac
tion on the subject, is questionable, to say
tbe least, if, indeed, it be not clear that
the national legislature lias no jurisdiction
or control over the act of the State Legis
lature in this particular ease. The belief
gains ground daily that we shall not have
a September session.— Data, in Sun.
