A Bureau in Bad Odor.— We are
gratified to learn that the Federal soldiers
recently sent to Athens to control the bal
lot box in the iutereets of the Radical
party, and overawe the white people,
don’t seem to take kindly to the task.
A few nights since a party of them ser
enaded, ala calithumpian, and with many
unsavory cries and adjective- 1 , the Bureau
Commissioner at that place, one Knox, a
contemptible little ass and tyrant, who
has been putting all sorts of deviltry into
the negroes’ heads fir many mouths.
They called for him to come out and
make them a speech, but the epithets of
‘scalawag,’aud ‘carpet-bagger’ not prom
ising a very flattering reception, he de
clined. They finally withdrew, giving
three cheers for Seymour aud Blair as a
night-cap for the Bureau.
“New Convert.”— A writer in the
National Republican, (Radical.) of Au
gusta, in alluding to the editor of this pa
per, calls him a “new convert” to Democ
racy. If casting his first vote for James
Buchanan and John C. Breckinridge, aud
an unvarying record of a similar charac
ter from that day till he was disfran
chised, makes him a “new convert,” he
would like to know what would make a
veteran.
The crop of mast in Georgia is very good
this year, but we have no hogs to eat them. The
last Legislature should have passed more stringent
laws in regard to the killing of stock. The plan
ters themselves ought to take better care of their
hogs and pursue their destroyers with more vigor.
We must look forward to the day when we will
buy no more meat from the Western markets.
I-vF" We are glad to learn that Major Norman C.
Jones intends starting one of his steam com
presses iu Macon. It will pay him well. The
greatest difficulty shippers of cotton have to con
tend with is systematic peculation on the route,
if it stops on the road to be compressed, a delay
ensues and a good deal is lost in weight. It had
better be compressed here under the eye of the
owner, and just as little opportunity left for thiev
ing by the wayside as possible. Our shippers will
no doubt greatly encourage the press of Major
Jones. We want cotton put iu order here to'hc
shipped direct to Europe, with as little handling
by outside parties as po»J9£^fcJ^|^p
The word Honorable, or as it is generally
written, “Hon.,” should never be again prefixed
to a respectable man’s name. All the Radical dar
kies and scallies of the slightest distinction insist
upon their Ueiug entitled to it, and often sign their
names in that style. We often see it preceding the
names of some of the grandest rascals in Georgia,
and applied to fellows of low birth, no education,
and distinguished for nothing save insolence. There
is no title so agreeable as that of Mister. Henry
Clay always objected to being called anything else,
and the whole American people learned to say Mr.
Clay, with the greatest respect. We hope this
term “ Hon.” will be handed over to the darkies to
be theirs exclusively. You would, no doubt, ex
cite the disgust of any white man of common sense
by applying it to him. It has been prostituted and
completely run iuto the ground.
The road leading to the Bailey Mill is now
worse than it was ever known to he. It is said to
be with the greatest difficulty any one can travel
along it.
~ 4 Heavy Came. —Yesterday morning
Kau ical negroes were being registered l,y Mr
Moore, Cierk of Council. Some sixty names were
entered on the hooks between 9a. m. and 1 p m
Mr. M. close!v questions each one, and is doimi

The blanks are filled with the name of the bearer
and number of the ward, and signed by one of the
Radical Aldermen. All were signed vesterdav by
Hungerford, but two of which had Hogan’s name
attached. By instructions of military appoiuted
Mayor Mott, who says the Republican party will
furnish th.‘ money, Mr, Moore registers all negroes
who bring these cards, keeps them, and Mott lias
guaranteed their payment—a dollar each—when
they are presented, with funds his party places in

any and every name from the lists, if the money is
not forthcoming when the tickets are presented
which will be some time before the eleetfon.

ment sBMk remain tied to the chariot
wheels most wicked, corrupt, and
merciless fllßon that ever disgraced civ
ilizations*; whether Georgia, our
shall walk in the same proces
sion, and suffer the same iguominy and
ruin.
We have tried to do our whole duty in
arousing the people to the vital import
ance of preventing that calamity, no in tt
ter how black and strong the tide that
whelms the other States of this Union.
We have tried to show how bitter aud
unbearable will lie a Radical triumph in
Georgia to those people who are deter
mined to stay here, and have resolved, be
sides, never, never to bow the knee nor
bend the neck to its domination. We
have tried to show what a victory of that
crowd means to them, aud what it means
to us. It has appeared almost a work of
supererogation, at times, for the brutal and
bloody spirit that animates that party
speaks with no uncertain voice, aud writes
a hand that all who will, can read. We
have felt that it was almost au insult to
the manhood aud intelligence of Georgia
to speak one word of warning, or utter
one note of cheer to rally them in such a
cause, aud for sucli a work Thank God !
they never have, and never will, we dare
hope, need much counsel or encourage
ment to take aud maintain a stand for the
Right. It is a part of the legacy be
queathed them by the Fathers who won
with their swords this goodly heritage.
They sucked it in with their mother’s
milk, aud learned it in the thousand
monuments of the free spirit and hatred
of wrong that brighten every page of their
State’s history.
But in a crisis like that which now
threatens, much, we know, will be par
doned to au earnest desire that they shall
do even better than ever—that they shall
now write the most glowing page in all
the book of their toils and triumphs. The
party of the Constitution, with which it
has ever been their pride and pleasure to
act, has just sustained a series of reverses
at the ballot box which threaten to greatly
imperil its liual success. Those reverses
have had their natural consequences of
depression and disorganization. The line
has wavered a little. It is now steady, but
the effect has been bad. We cannot shut
our eyes to the fact. The public pulse in
dicates it, and it is weak and criminal to
deny or conceal it. The Northern Democ
racy, as an organization, is rallying for a
fresh charge with splendid vigor aud the
most glorious spirit, but the fencemen—
the floaters—hang back. Such is the out
look from a National staud point. How
is it here in Georgia? It is that which
most nearly concerns us. Are our people
ready to carry their part of the line?
Have reverses in other parts of the field
cooled their courage, or shaken their faith?
We do not believe it. If they have, though,
now is the hour to shake off such influ
ences. The time is short, aud the work
great. We tell you that you have the
game in your own hands so far as Georgia
is concerned. You can make the anti-
Radicai verdict here, almost what you
please. The greater and more emphatic
it is, the better you have done your duty,
and the greater will be your reward.
Let Grant go into the White House,
That evil can be endured, if you declare
against him here at home, by an over
whelming majority. His arm will be
long and strong, but it can’t hurt you
much with 20,000 majority for Seymour
and Blair. That voice will reach even to
Washington. It will speak like that of
Kentucky. It will waru your euemies
that here, at least, tjiey yot, rob,
and ruin unchecked. It will be the signal
for an exodus of ail the vile creatures who
have spawned, aud crawled, and pol
luted Georgia soil. They will depart even
more quickly than they came. They will
speedily discover that this climate is as
unhealthy for them as that of Kentncky.
The lords of the soil —tiie natural owners
of Georgia—will gather up the reins of
government again, and. the reign of
usurpers and spoilers will come to an end.
We will again have a government of our
own, and one to he proud of, strong iu
the hearts of the people, and equal to
every demand upon its strength.
Georgians, to the rescue! This is the
guerdon that offers itself to zeal, faith, and
work. A richer one never iired the
hearts, or steadied the nerves of the wise,
the brave, aud the true : Save Georoia !
For such aconsummation who will doubt,
who dares to dally ? Let the cry ring out
loud and clear from every hill-top and
along every valley : Ho, every freeman to
the rescue!
THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
New Xo r k. Oct. 10th, 1868.
Editors Journal and Messenger :
Allow me through yourcolumns tostate
some facts concerning the General Conven
tion of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
now in session in this city.
This body, your readers are probably
aware, consists of all the Bishops of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in the United
States, and delegates—four ministers and
four laymen from every Diocese connected
with the Protestant Episcopal Church.
There are, therefore, here gathered, men
from every part of the country, North and
South, East and West. The Bishops form
an Upper House, sitting by themselves,
their debates and proceedings being in
secret, except when any action is sent to
the Lower House —which is composed of
the clerical and lay delegates—for ap
proval, which approval is necessary before
any measure can become a law or canon
of tbe Church. Thus one body is a check
upon the other.
Now, to either of these houses any mat
ter touching the interest of the Church
may he presented by memorial or resolu
tion. If deemed of sufficient importance,
such memorial or resolution is, at first re
ceived and referred to a committee to re
port some action thereon. The papers of
the city, whose reports are very imperfect,
have mistaken the respectful hearing and
reference of tiiese memorials, (as upon the
Tyng Case aud so called Ritualism)—to
these committees, for the final action of
the Convention—whereas the Convention
has as yet ill no way considered these
cases. Tiiese subjects will doubtless come
up when the committees report to the
bouse, aud action will be taken.
But as far as l can judge, this body is
most conservative and wonderfully har
monious, and as for any disruption, this
looks to me impossible—the most cordial
welcome has Seen given to the Southern
members—and high and low church men,
have so far, irrespective of party views,
voted according to the best of their judg
ment—and so I believe it will be to the
end of this session, aud that the Church
will stand at the close of this Convention
more united than ever.
Yours, Respectfully,

GEORGIA JOURNAL AND MESSENGER
SOUTHERN EMIGRATION
NNav to Rriiig Capital in the South— Necessity of
Giving Greater Publicity to their Resources Emi
grants—Where to be Found—Lines of Steamers,etc.
The Southern States have in themselves
the power of becoming as wealthy and
even wealthier than they ever were. Let
them practice the maxims of political
economy, the application of which is at
the basis of the greatness of European na
tions. Let them make an appeal in the
proper form to capital aud labor, aud they
will And in the resources these two ele
rneuts bring along with them the means
of recovering their lost fortunes. The
general principle once found, it remains
for them to look on the practical side of
the question, to examine it in its details,
aud to see by what series of measures the
wants of tiie States can be satisfied.
The position of the South is well knowu
Ruined by tiie war, tiie planters aud the
Ceoplein general have nothing left uow
ut their lands. Land, tiie richest thing in
tiie world under cultivation, is tiie poorest
imaginable property without the co-opera
tive action of labor aud capital. In tiie
present state of atfairs the Soutli has then
to make au appeal to both. It is presum
able, for the moment at least, that an ap
plication to Europeans would be attended
with better results thanacall upon North
ern capital and labor. All they would
have to do to reach their object would be
to introduce their lauds upon foreign mar
kets. But in this, as in every thing else,
the proper way of introducing them is to
be found. Years ago we made some at
tempts to sell lands in Georgia ; the prop
erty was excellent, and at a very low fig
ure ; a fortune might have been realized
in a very few years by working it up, or
selling it again This was considered by
the persons to whom we ottered it ; but
tiie regular and invariable answer was,
that the agitated aud troublesome state ot
political affairs in tho Union did not justi
fy the investment of money iu the United
States. The capitalists whom we saw,
feared another revolution, or best, a con
flict of races ; they were unwilling to risk
their money ; they thought Southerners
were anxious to sell their lands because
they wished to leave the country and
never return again. Their misgivings
were, of course, erroueous. But they pro
duced the same results as if they had rest
ed on a steadfast foundation. Tiie first
condition of success is, then , for the South
to remove tiie causes of these apprehen
sions. Capital, aud even labor, will never
go to them so long us they exist. They
must demonstrate by their acts that far
from being willing to leave their lands
and settle elsewhere, they are decided to
remain where they are aud conquer by
their energy and labor tiie fortunes they
have lost.
THE WAY TO BRING CAPITAL INTO THE
SOUTH.
One of the best means by which South
ern people could induce home aud foreign
capital to come to them would be in, in
our opinion, to club together for the sale
of their lauds. For instance, a joint stock
company authorized by the State could
be formed, stock aud script be issued and
sold here and upon foreign markets. If
the company ottered in its organization
the three following conditions: if it was
composed of the solid muu of the States;
if it presented sufficient moral and mate
rial guarantees; if it iiad the sanction of
the Legislature aud of the President of
the United, certifying the validity of the
transaction, and a certificate from foreign
officials, such a company would, in our
estimation, be favorably received iu for
eign markets. It would at tiie same time
be necessary to give it a great publicity by
advertising and writing about it, so as to
make it popular. We saw 'uirselves dur
our stay in Europe several large transac
tions, not half as good nor safe as tiie one
we allude to, become eutireiy successful
aud produce several millions, simply by
adroit management, aud by the use of the
means we now indicate The formation
of such compauies would have a double
advantage; they would prove tiie willing
ness of the inhabitants to run an equal
risk with the capitalist iu the settlement
of the soil; they would at the same time be
accepted as security for the success of tiie
enterprise. They might, ultimately as
sume great importance and become in
strumental in establishing through the
States the means of laud aud water com
munication they are now wanting, and iu
working for the increase of the general
prosperity, work for their own.
NECESSITY OF til VINO O KKATKK PUBLICITY
0»TO THESE RESOURCES.
Asa general thing, the soil, climate, re
sources and wealth of the United States
are unknown to the European. Also, if
he emigrates, it is rather on account of the
difficulty to live in his own country than
in consequence of a correct appreciation
of the chances in store for him on this
continent. In most of the cases, lie yields
to the solicitations of his relatives and
friends in America, more than to the im
pulse of his nature.
The cause of this finds its explanation
iu our neglect iu presenting to Europeans,
in a language they can understand aud
through popular channels of publicity, a
description of our country and an expla
nation of the means by which it cau be
reached. On the other hand, our natural
products, our mines, our crops, our manu
factures are seldom, if ever, placed under
his eyes. Instead of doing as Englishmen
aud Frenchmen do, sending samples of
cotton, wheat, corn, oil, cotton, sheep, <fec.,
to the yearly agricultural expositions held
iu various parts of these two countries, we
take good care never to mix with associa
tions of that kind for fear of being entan
gled in the affairs of foreign nations. The
result of this narrow minded policy, of
this dangerous exclusiveness, is to put the
United States iu a comparative obscurity
aud to lose thereby a large uumberof emi
grants who are now taking the road to
China and Japan, to Australia, AJgeria,
and Brazil. Au active publicity, and fre
quent exposition of our natural resources
are indispensable to the maintenance and
increase of European emigration to our
shores. 8o long us this business is not
properly attended to, we shall remain as
closed as the empire of Turkey to the eyes
of the civilized communities of Europe.
European capital will avoid investment in
American enterprise; even emigration
will decline in proportion to the efforts
made by •ther people to make it take other
directions. We would, then, advise the
Southern Stales to send samples of their
natural products to all European public
exhibitions. Their various qualities of
cotton, wool, sugar, cereals, ores, coal and
wood, will certainly attract a great deal of
attention among masses of men who are
all looking for some new business, or for
extending the old ones. They ought at
the same time have agents selected among
men of culture aud large acquaintances
whose business would be to connect the
planter and Southern commission mer
chants witli European houses, and to open
business with them. But we cannot be
too emphatic on this point. A great at
tention ought to be paid to the selection of
these men ; for, if they were to be as the
majority of the American commissioners
sent by the States to the Paris Exhibition,
if they were like them, ignorant of the
language and of the usages of the commu
nity in the midst of whicli they were sent,
their mission would undoubtedly result in
a complete failure We were unfortu
nately unwilling witnesses to their unsuc
cess, which, in the majority of cases, was
brought about by their inaptitude.
COUNTRIES WHERE EMIGRANTS ARE
FOUND AND THE WAY TO BRING THEM
HERE.
What we have just said refers simply to
the means of inducing foreign capital to
seek an investment in the South. It will
not go there, however, if it does not find
the way to associate itself with profitable
labor. Now, in the mind of the European
between white and black labor, white
labor will always have the preference. It
is, then, indispensable for Southerners to
call to them white emigration in the
same time as they make an appeal to
foreign capital, for they will not obtain
the one without the other.
Iu their efforts to obtain both at once
they ought to avoid loss of time and
fruitless attempt. It would not do for
them, for instance, to seek to divert the
German and Irish emigration tidecomiDg
North aud West from its course and seek
to make it take a Southern channel Tbe
emigrants, in the majority of cases at least,
come because they have relatives in these
latitudes sending them money for their
passage, and because they find on their
arrival a home to receive them. The
South ought to look for other source of
emigratious-amoug the various districts
which have not yet been explored. Among
these we will mention certain Swiss can
tons which we visited last year, the whole
of the eastern part of France, Alsace.
Lorraine, Franche-Conte, Buigundy, aud
in the south, the Pyrennees, where the
Basques are found, the Alps and the
Garonne. In all these provinces there is
a strong desire for emigration to America,
but a still stronger desire not to come in
contact with Germans. What the people
of these regions want is to start inde
pendent communities of their own, in
which the French language will be
spoken, French literature, aits and acience
preserved. The sentiment is general iu
France, Belgium, Holland, Fr'enJfckwiU
erland. Besides, there arq anu/WRs tiie
masses, especially in France, a strong
sypathy for the political institutions
thi* country—institutions w|ich ting*
■think destined to rule over the world
sooner or later.
Auother place where emigrants would
bbeasilv obtained, is Italy. The financial
condition of that kingdom is so precarious,
labor is of so difficult an access, that thou
sands of people would gladly leave home
and seek for something to do iu foreign
countries. Tiie Italians are good culti
vators, as many have witnessed traveliug
in tiie ricii plains of Lombardy. They ate
also excelleut hands in the raising of the
rice plant, which is one of the chief pro
ducts of Piedmout. They would on that
account, as well us on that of the climate,
which bears a strong resemblauce with
that of Georgia, be an excelleut kind of
emigrants for the Month. They are now
taking the road to Brazil,and to the Span
ish republics on the Pacific coast.
We are not sufficiently acquainted with
Spain to speak knowiuglyof emigration
from that country. It is, however, obvi
ous that tiie chronicle revolutions which
disturb its trade and industry, as well as
tiie political ostracism adopted by con
tending factions, must impoverish the
people and give a proportional element to
the desire of emigration. Southerners
would then do well to make an appeal to
Spanish emigrants and invite them to
tiieir shores.
The southern part of Austria, tiie Dan
ubian provinces, are, in our estimation,
au excelleut field to explore. There are
iu these latitudes thousandsof small fann
ers whose earnings are hardly sufficient
for tiie support of their families. These
men would gladly avail themselves of tiie
opportutiily of bettering tiieir conditions
if they only knew how. Tiie same may
be said of the small farmers of Southern
Germany, a good portion of whom would
come to America if the means of getting
here were put within their reach.
The laboring classes we have just de
scribed are not tiie only elenentsof wealth
tiie Soutli could make an appeal to. They
might also apply to foreign companies
for co-operation iu their internal improve
ments, such ascauals, railroads, Ac. Such
ail assistance wiil not lie obtained, how
ever, without tiie restoration of peace, or
der, aud security. So loug as a thorough
pacification of the disturbing elements,
uow at work, will not have been realized,
so long as the re-establishment of security
will not find its expressions on European
markets, Southerners must abandou the
idea of receiving auy pecuniary help from
that continent. They are 100 sensible not
to see it, and too interested in the matter
not to exert themselves iu putting their
country back again in such a condition as
to remove all shadows ot apprehension
and fear.
ESTABLISHMENT OF A LINE OF STEAMERS.
As an auxiliary means of attracting em
igrants we would suggest the establish
ment of a line of steamers between Havre
and some point of the Houth like Norfolk
or Charleston. The progress of steam nav
igation has taken such a proportion in our
days, it lias so great an advantage over
other modes of transportation, that it now
becomes difllcuit to find emigrants willing
to go on sailing vessels. A line as the one
we propose would be as necessary to the
success of tiie settlement of the Southern
ritates as auy of the measures we have
already indicated. At some future period
a steamship company might also be or
ganized at Genoa, iu Italy, this point be
ing, in our estimation, destined to become
a considerable centre of emigration. For
the present, a regular line from Havre to
the (south seems to us au indispensable
requisite. We mention Havre, because
by its position this city is tbe nearest and
natural place of meeting for all emigrants
coming from eiouttiern Europe.
Hie people of the South ought not to
trouble themselves about this busiuess.
All they would have to do in tiie matter
is to otter sufficient inducements to emi
grants and a return freight to the compa
ny Who will undertake to supply them
with the necessary means of transporta
tion. There aie a number of steamship
companies iu Europe who will be glad to
accept such a proposition, if tiiey see in it
the means of making money. A return
freight at Nortolk, for instance, or at
Charleston, would be, iu almost every
ease, sure to be found This considera
tion alone to us calculated -lo rjro
duce among the enterprising sh«MbHders
of Europe the conviction thabtifllffi a line
could be made remunerative, it tnwrtoulh
ern planters aud merchants were, on their
Bide, resolved to support it.
CONCLUSION.
We have just given here a general out
line of the measures to be taken to bring
back in tbe fertile regions of tbe South the
capital aud the labor so much needed at
the present time. Each one of the ideas
we have suggested is, however, suscepti
ble of modification. According to the
time, place and circumstances, they are
not imperative iu every case; they must,
on the contrary, be adapted to the pecu
liar situation in which Southern commu
nities are placed. They will have also to
be understood in their details, for details
in the organization of emigration ureas
important as general principles. But in
the present condition of affairs iu the
South, the starting point, that on which
success will ultimately depend, is on the
combination of efforts, in co-operative as
sociations, if we can use this term to ex
press a just idea. Let large associations
of Southern landowners be formed ; let
them divide their landain shares of one
to five acres each; let the price of the
shares correspond with the number of
acres stipulated iu the script; let them put
these shares on the market at home aud
abroad, and patiently wait for the result.
v\ e should be very much mistakeu, if,ere
long, they were not to feel themselves
sensibly relieved by the adoption of such

diabolical murder.
We have been iuforuied of a most horrible mur
der, which was committed on Saturday last, 17th
iust., in the adjoining county of Macon, in the
neighborhood of Salem Church, abont five miles
from the village of Notasulga.
For the act to be appreciated in all its horror it
will he necessary to write a little history. Some
time last year, a youth of about eighteen years of
age, named William Duke, won the heart of a <rirl
about sixteen, whose family name is Low. Fler
family objected to their marriage, but, as is too of
ten the case under sueli circumstances, they ran
away, and were married.
Their happiness was short lived. Harsh treat
ment from the young husband, and from bis family
toward the young wife who had disregarded and
forsaken her family to join her destiny with his
soon followed the honeymoon. But the young
couple went to keeping house, and, acting their
part in the customs of society, invited the circuit
poacher, at his previous visits to the church near
by, to dine with them on Saturday last—the fatal
day.
Neither husband or wife attended church that
day, but the minister, in fulfilment of his promise
went to the house notwithstanding. On entering
the door, instead of a pleasant greeting and a ren
dering of excuses for absence from church, what a
sight met his eye ! The young wife suspended by
the neck with a cord from one of the joists of the
house, her body cold «ud stiff! Chairs aud tables
were overturned, tbe bed rumpled, and every evi
dence that there had been a scuffle in the room.
Not a sign of life in the house, except the breath
ing of tile little sleeping babe, all innocent of the
irreparable loss to itself, and of tbe terrible tragedy
that had but just been enacted.
ihc preacher immediately cut the cord, and,
calling in the passers-by, the body was examined.
The clothing was badly torn, and unmistakable
marks of lingers and finger-nails were found upon
the neck and shoulders. The unfortunate woman
had either been 'strangled by the hand of some
devilish villain, or else forcibly hanged. Who
eould have committed the awfuldeed? and why
was it done?
The matter was being investigated at our last
advices—Monday last—but at that time no facts
hail been elicited, except that the father of the
husband had been seen leaving the house a short
while before preaching begun.
The husband bad been absent for two days, lmt
returned on Saturday night. The wife’s family re
fused to allow him to see tier dead body. We
shall endeavor to publish all the facts in the case
as they are developed. The affair has naturally
created intense excitement in the community, com
posed, as it is, almost entirely of quiet, peaceable
farmers, unaccustomed to acts of murder aud out
rage.—Montgomery Mail.
Georgia Railroad and Banking Co.—We are
pleased to learn that the Georgia Railroad Com
pany have determined, shortly, to re-open their
Bank in this city. The business interests of this
section require greater Banking facilities than they
have enjoyed since the close of*the war; and while
We presume the Company will only transact a “Dis
count and Deposit” business, still that will be a
great convenience. We all know and respect the
officers of the old Georgia Railroad Bank, and but
few of its old patrons will desert it. We mention
this simply as an on clit, and to express onr sincere
hope that it may prove true. We have had no con
ference or communication on the subject with any
officer or other person connected with the Road or
Bank —Augusta Republican, 'B2d.
— —♦ v
exchange says i "The earliest
mention of a banking transaction, was
when Pharaoh received a check on the
bank of tbe Red Sea, which was crossed
by Moses <k Aaron.” There was A-runon
the Pharaoh Bank.

PLANCHBTTK.
The rival beauties laid their hands
Tin “Flauchette’s” stubborn heart,
” Querying silently the while
With faces held apart,
: “ Which does be love, tell iae, Plauehette ?”
Fair Lily softly said.
‘ Which does lie love?” said queenly Rose,
Bending her haughty head.
The white hand treuibled like u dove,
The brown one flushed its ring,
And still tiie pencil wrote no word,
Dragged, like a sullen tiling.
While quiet Pansy, looking on,
Waited its pranks to see ;
Folding her secret in her heart,
Softly and silently.
“Come hither. Pansy.” Like a dove
A small hand trembling fell,
When like a weird, uncanny thing,
Tiie board obeyed her spell.
Wrote “Y o u.” Oh! wise Pianebette,
Worthy tins Delphic priestess’ crown ;
Each b ushing maiden saw herself
Thus promptly written down.
The hero came, as heroes will,
Proving all romance true,
And glancing at their paper, said,
“ What’s written ?” “Y o u.”
“ \\ hat was the question, ladies fair,
Can 1 not know ?” Ah me ;
“ -'lay I one earnest question ask,
Through this diablerie ?”
I t answers “ Pansy.”
She Inis lied
Through the open door;
She saw the question in his eye,
And needs to know no more.
Alike the Rose and Lily say
Pianebette tells nothing true;
» But Pansy holds a diticrent faith,
She trusts it—wouldn't? you ?

The Grey Jacket gets off the following
good one:
During Gen. Lee’s advance upon Ma
nassas, iu the fall of 1803, the musicians
of Cook’s and Kirtland’s North Carolina
brigades were left behind to attend to and
nurse the wounded of their commands.
When tiie army commenced to retire from
the Rappabanoek, these men were moved
forward to rejoin their commands. They
had been so much bedeviled and hooted
at by the troops that they tried to avoid
theta by going through the fields, ami
away from the road, but go where t -y
would, they were Bure to meet some of 'he
much-dreaded arms-beariug men ; till at
last, they betook themselves to tiie road in
despair, assuming a sullen, Indifferent air,
never daring to turn tiieir heads for any
of the halting appeals of “I say, mister/’
“I say you man with the born,” etc., etc.
The most shining mark, and apparently
the most sullen and worst worried of them,
was the bass drummer of the band of the
twenty-seventh infantry (Cook’s hrigade
wiio was a tali, handsome, dignified look
ing mao, carrying one of the largest drums
iu the army. He was greeted on all sides,
but heeded nothing, till attracted by a
most pitiful and doleful sound of “Mister 7
oh mister?” several times repeated very
near him. He turned and discovered that
it proceeded from a most wo-begone, tall,
cadaverous looking Georgia soldier, stand
ing about half bent, bis hand resting on
the muzzle of his gun, and his chin on his
hands, his uncombed iiair hanging over
his eyes, and his underiip (from which
dropped saliva) hanging about half an
inch below his chin—altogether, looking
such a picture ol misery and bodily suffer
ing, that said musician’s sympathies were
at once enlisted, and he asked in a tone
of commiserating kindness, “What cau
Ido for you ?” With a very beseeching
air and trembling voice, the Georgian
said .• “Won’t you please to be so kind as
to pick a tune on that ar’ thing for a sick
man ?”
The poor musician turned and went on
his way disgusted, amid the shouts and
laughter of all withiu heading. So long
as tiie war tasted he never iieard the last
of it, and many were tiie applications
made to him for the soothing tones of
“that ar’ thing.”
tw The majesty of the law was fearful
ly sustained by Lord Kskgrove, who, it is
related, once sentenced a tailor, for mur
dering a soldier iu these woods: “And
not only did you murder him, whereby
he was bereaved of life, but you did thru-I,
or push, or propel, or pierce the lethal
weapon through his regimental breeches,
which were his Majesty's.”
B*»L Young Truffles was observed to be
climbing a tree, wbeu the paternal mem
ber of the family inquired his purpose. “P
am going to rise with the lark—you’ve told
me to do it lots of times, and I am going
to try.” The youthful Josephus had his
eye on the lark, which was perched grace
fully on oneofthe upper brandies. That
will be sure to get up some time.

to strike him. Says he, “Mister, can’t

San Fbancisco, October 21.—A heavy shock of
an earthquake was felt at 7:50 this morning The
motion was east and west. Several buildings were
thrown down, and a considerable number badly
damaged on Pine, Battery-, Clay aud Sanson stn-ek

A strong sulphurous smell was noticed immediately
after the shock. The court-house of San I.eundro
was demolished, aud one life lost. From various
portions of the country in the vicinity of San Fran
ciseo bay the shock was reported severe, and eon
smerable damage sustained. In many places the
earth opened and tiie water gashed forth

the particulars of the disastrous earthquake
t welve shocks wcrefeit during the day, the goner
al direction being northerly and southerly, though
some descriptions give it rotary motion. The
greatest damage extends in a belt several hundred
feet wide, running about northwest and southeast
commencing near the custom house and ending at
Fulsom street wharf, injuring and demolishing
some twelve buildings in its course. At the eor
tier of Market and First streets the grouud opened
a fissure several inches wide and forty or fifty feet
long. Other places in the ground opened and
water forced above the surface. The City Hall
mav be considered an entire wreck.
The courts all adjourned, and the prisoners wen
all taken from the station houses to the county
jail. All the patients in the United States marine
hospital were removed, the building being declared
unsafe. Many chimneys in the southern part of the
city were thrown down. No one was seriously in
jured by them, and only four lives are, as yet,
known to have been lost, although numbers were
injured by falling debris.
The waters in the bay are perfectly smooth. At
the time of the sho’ek no perceptible disturbance
took place. The shock felt aboard the shipping
in the harbor was such as if the vessels had struck
on rocks. The earthquake, was very severe in the
interior. A heavy shock was felt at Sacramento
aud Stockton, Contra Costa and Alemeda. Tiie
buildings were thrown down and lives lost. At
Mare Island the navy yard experienced two heavy
shocks. Several buildings were thrown down, anil
some buildings considerably shaken, Imt no serious
damage done. No one was in jured at Vail ego,
more than some chimneys demolished.
A light shock was felt at Sonora, aud continued
throughout the day. All business has l*een sus
pended in this city, none but retail establishments
being open.

their lap-dogs amounts iu some instances
to infatuation. We heard of a lap-dog

Her mistress thus expressed her compas

it wont make her sick !”
Ladies who complain most that
they have nothing to wear, commonly
wear the least when best supplied. Miss
Featherfly had a score of new dresses last
week, and yet hasn’t been able to get a
single oue up to her shoulders. The bare
idea of the thing is and it is not singular.
A young woman meeting a former
fellow servant, asked her how she liked
her new place.
“Very well.’’
“Then you have nothing to complain
“Nothing, only masterand mistress talk
such very bad grammar!’’
