“YOU WILL FORGET ME.”
Forget thee! Can it ever be ?
Can this fond heart so change to thee,
That I could listen to thy name
And feel no rapture through my frame ?
Could gaze upon those beauteous eyes
And feel no soft emotion rise ?
Could hear, unmoved, the dulcet tone
Os thy sweet voice, oh dearest one?
It cannot be! No, sooner far,
May daylight’s gleam disclose a star;
Sooner may the moon's pale beam
No radiance cast o’er bill and stream !
Sooner may the aua arise
From where his twilight beauty dies,
And retrograde, bis pathway trace,
Unto his morning’s rising place!
Stranger than these, tho’ strange they be,
Would be my heart forgetting thee!
Ah, no! too closely art tbou linked
With all my dreams of happiness ;
Too deeply does thine image rest
Within this fond and faithful breast!
Tho’ not a hope now cheers my heart,
Tho’ bitter tears will oftimes start.
When 1 thiuk I ne’er can be
Dearest of all earthly ones to thee!
But, loved one, shouldst thou ever need
Someone to trust—“a friend indeed”—
Then will I fondly strive to prove
The deep devotion of my love.
Mkmoria.
AT LUST!
It comes at last, the hour so long awaited.
The hour, by weary hope, so long foretold,
It finds the strength of passion unabated,
It meets a love that ne’er grew faint or cold.
Forgotten is the dull and aching sadness,
Forgotten all the painful, dreary past,
I hear thy voice, I see thy glance of sadness,
I press'thee, darling, to my heart—at last
Come to my heart, oh, love! so long a stranger!
Come to my heart, which asks for nothing more.
Too long afloat upon a sea of danger,
It tossed and could not find the welcome shore.
But now, beloved one, breaks the glorious morn
ing,
Now in love’s haven, sheltered from the blast.
Our happy hearts, all doubt and danger scorning,
Can say, “Thank Heaven, our love is sure—at
last.”
I do not care if years have dimmed the splendor
That early passion found within thine eye;
I only know its influence soft and tender*
Can cheer me as it cheered In days goue by.
I do not know what lands, what fate await us,
If wealth or want upon our lives be cast,
I only know if the future bless or hate us,
That heart to heart, we’ll live and die—at last.

SECRET ASSASSINATION.
The Cae of the Alr-Uun In New York.
[From the New York Sun. J
Over a year ago, at 1 o’clock in the
morning, a Brooklyn police officer was
carelessly sauntering down his usual
beat, when he observed a man partly
hidden behind a tree on the opposite
side of the street. The officer stopped
and carefully observed the man’s move
ments. In a few moments a man was
observed corning up tho sidewalk op
posite. The man behind the tree
stepped from his place of concealment,
and walked down the street to meet the
stranger, tho police officer still watch
ing him. When the suspicious person
was within twenty feet of the stranger,
and near a gas-light burning brightly
beneath the trees, the stranger sudden
ly slipped his forehead with his right
hand, and fell to the pavement—a dead
man. Ilis murderer begun to rifle his
pockets. The officer hastened to the
spot, butlhe assassin saw him and fled.
The officer pursued him. The chase
was hot. Around corners, across half
paved streets, through slums and alleys,
over high board fences, and beneath
flickering gas-lights, the murderer fled,
but a keen-eyed hunter was on his track.
Ho was captured. On his line of flight
an air-gun of a peculiar construction
was found. It had done its deadly
work silently and effectually. It was
of simple mechanism, and could hardly
be considered a marvel of mechanical
skill.
Tho assassin turned out to be one
Skidmore, a discharged policeman. In
his house evidence was found which
proved that he had been engaged for
several years in nefarious schemes of
burglary and murder. Brooklyn was
thrown into a state of nervious excite
ment. Every undiscovered murder was
thrown on the shoulders of Skidmore.
He was even accused of being responsi
ble for the profoundly mysterious ‘-East
River mystery,” where a man’s head,
pierced with two bullets and wrapped
in a piece of old silk, was found floating
in a Brooklyn dock, tho thighs and legs,
similarly wrapped, being afterwards
picked up nearGowanus.
On his arrest, Skidmore became as
silent as a jungled tiger. Crowds of cit
izens swarmed to look at him, and loud
whispers of lynch law floated about
his ears. lie kept up a bold front, but
occasionally a twinge was visnble on
his countenance as he listened to the
positive evidence before the Coroner.
The crowd surged about and gazed at
him as one of the trapped anthropopha
gi. Tho air-gun was regarded with the
greatest curiosity, and those inspecting
it handled it with circumspection, fear
ful that a silent bullet was only await
ing a signal to add another to its roll of
victims.
The Coroner’s jury found Skidmore
guilty of tho murder, and the grand
jury brought in a true bill of indictment
against hint.
Back to his cell went tho murderer,
with scarcely a raj-of hope in his heart,
The popular excitement did not abate.
His speedy trial was demanded, llis
lawyers could not obtain a postpone
ment. The trial came on ; the evidence
was overwhelming ; all the people
thronged tho court room. Skidmore’s
defiant front failed him at last, and at
length, in despair, he cut his throat in
his cell, and escaped the gibbet.
'Vo do not know what became of the
air-gun, but we do know that for weeks
afterward many of the citizens of Brook
lyn never dared go from their house at
night, for fear of a silent straggling bul
let.
Again we have accounts of shooting
with the air-gun—this time in New
\ork. A week or two ago we had to
announce the serious injury, by a pistol
shot, of a young man walking at mid
day on the corner of Broadway and
l anal street. The cause was a myste
ry which has never been explained. On
I uesdav atternoon, in two diverse lo
calities, there occurred circumstances
fortunately less injurious in their effect,
but hardly less mysterious in their na
ture, which seem' to point with equal
assurance to that diabolical a«-ent, an
air-gun. Iwo bullets in quick succes
sion crashed through the windows of a
grocery at the intersection ofthe Bowery
and Bond street. With as little warn
ing. a pistol ball entered through the
plate-glass door-way of3lo Broadway,
with dangerous force. A young man
employed in Chittenden's dry & £oods
store was walking down Broadway
Wednesday afternoon, and felt some
thing hit his arm. On arriving at the
store he ascertained that he had been
shot through the arm by a bullet, which
had lodged and remained in his side.
Where the bullet came from, who tired
it, or for what—all these points remain
a secret. On Monday an air-gun bullet
was fired through a pawnbroker’s win
dow in Center street. On the same
evening one of these silent messengers
of death came through a window in the
Sun’s editorial rooms, and one evening
last week two bullet holes were found
in the panes in Mr. Thomas Hitchcock’s
residence, at 8 East Twenty-ninth street.
To this list we add the following:
To the Editor of the Sun :
g IB Seeing an account, in your issue
of this day, about “bullets flying into
etore windows,” I wish to state that at
about four o’clock yesterday afternoon
the same thing occurred at my place of
business, breaking a large pane of glass
in my door. I looked For the missile,
and found a bullet on the floor, partly
flattened. From the fact of no report
being heard except the smashing in of
the window, and the great lorce with
which it came in, I am inclined to your
; opinion that air-guns are being used ;
and if not stopped by the police, the
| consequences must become serious.
Truly yours, Jas. H. Jones.
215 Grand street, N. York, Feb. 3,’69.
THE JACKSONVILLE MURDER.
Dispatches published in the Chicago
Times, of the 11th, give the following par
ticulars respecting the assassination of
Mr. McConnell, at Jacksonville, Illinois :
The deceased was sitting in his room,
facing both and the only doors by which
the room could have been eutered. He
was found on the floor, lying on his face,
immediately in front of his chair. He
could not have risen or left the chair;
yet the murderer must have approached
him toward his face. The deceased must
have seen him, and he was not frightened.
The murderer came into his room, then
approached him, speaking to him, and
quieting his apprehensions, sat down by
him and talked with him about business.
The deceased turned toward his interest
tables beside him, and was running up a
column of figures. The mark of a pencil
is found jammed into the page, and the
peucil, with broken point, was on the
floor near by. Just at this opportuue
moment the fiend rose up, and stood by
his left side and a little to his real. The
face of the deceased was turned toward
his own right shoulder, looking at his in
terest tables. The deadly weapon was
drawn, and the blow struck that fell be
hind the right ear. The General fell for
ward, and the second blow fell upon the
back of the head. He dropped to the floor,
and the assassin, to make assurance doub
ly sure, struck tbeblows upon the left side
of the head while the lifeless corpse lay
E rostrate; then, taking the instrument of
is malice with him, he retreated from
the room, across the yard to the street,
and away. He could not have been more
than tweuty minutes in doing all this No
one saw him enter; no one saw him de
part. The milkman says that he saw a
man go out of the gate, but is not able to
identify who it was. The person of the
deceased had not been robbed. His
watch and money were there; but a note
lately due, aud known to have been un
paid, is found to be missiug, and its maker
is now known to have been in his room
that morning.
Later. —The arrest of a man, supposed
to be the murderer of Gen. McConnell, has
been m tde. He is the signer of the miss
ing note. He was seen to go into the
bouse within live miuutes of the time the
crime must have been commited, by two
persons—one the milkman, who identifies
him, aud by another person. The book
of interest tables was opened to the page
of the denomination of his note. The
pencil mark was at the point on the col
umn of figures corresponding with the
note. A scrap of paper, with figures made
by Gen. McConnell, corresponding to cal
culations with that interest column and
that note, was found on his table. The
arrested man makes contradictory state
ments to account for himself. His name
is William A. Ilobinsun, who has lived
here for several years; lias beeu clerk of
our Mansion House, aud lately has kept
a grocery store here, aud has heretofore
had a good character. He was regarded
as a good, genial, generous fellow.
The coroner’s jury find that he is guilty
of the murder. Robinson was seen by
several persons entering the house of Mr.
McConnell on the morning of the murder.
BURDENS on tiie people.
Commissioner Welles, in his report,
proves most clearly that in this country
the poor are growing p orer aud the rich
richer; that the laboring man aud his
family cannot live as well on his earnings
now as he could in 1860. The bpring
field Republican has an article upon the
growing rate of expense to families, and
cites as evidence of its views the aunual
report of the Oneida community, which
shows a constant increase of the cost of
living for several years, until it averaged
$4 85 per week to each person, in 1868.
Assuming that on the average, every
American laborer supports four persons
besides himself, it averages the cost of
families at $25 per week. We are certain,
it says, ‘‘the condition of the masses of the
American people is much worse in many
respects than in 1860. They live in smaller
and more crowded tenements; they eat
poorer food ; they clothe themselves and
their children less decently, and find it
more and more difficult from year to year
to maiutaiu the social position they once
held.
“With this deterioration of condition
comes necessarily a certain moral degen
eracy, not so easy to describe, but pain
fully obvious.” Congressman Kelley, in
his speech against the Report of Mr.
Welles,effects a high degree of indignation
at this view of the case, and declares “ if
that is so, then the country is on the eve
of an aristocracy and if a social condition
such as the world has never seen.” There
is much truth in this declaration of Mr.
Kelley. But he will not face the facts,
and endeavor to bend legislation in a dif
ferent direction. He and the party to
which he belongs are the champions of
class legislation. They are in favor of a
centralized government, and the accumu
lation of power and wealth in the hands
of a few men. How far they have pro
gressed in that direction in a few years
all can see and feel The States are mere
playthings of central authority, and capi
tal is fast centering around the privileged
class.
Large corporations are declaring fifty
and seventy-five per cent, on the capital
employed, while tho employes are eating
coarser food, and wearing poorer clothing.
TUese are facts which eauuot be denied,
and as they have followed the elevation
of the Radical party to power, it is fair to
conclude that this disastrous change is a
legitimate offspring of their principles and
policy. The Radical party has debauched
the currency, increased debt and taxation,
loaded labor to au unfair degree, and
allowed capital to escape with a feather
weight on its back, and the result can be
seen in the present condition of the work
ing classes. The “rich are grown richer
and the poor poorer,” and the evil will
increase until the Radicals are driven from
power, and the government aud business
of the nati ju restored to their old ruts.

RETRIBUTION.
[From the Knoxville Press aud Herald, Feb. 14. J
A singular chain of coincidences in con
nection with the brutal assault made by
some ruffians of Blount county upon the
Rev. Mr. Neal, a minister ofthe gospel of
the Methodist Church South, last year,
aud which was fuily reported in our col
umns, has just been communicated to us.
It will be remembered that while re
turning from diviue service he was set
upon by a gang of desperadoes, stripped,
tied to a tree aud brutally Hogged with
hickory switches, for no other offence than
his connection with what these truly
loyal villains were pleased to term a rebel
church.
The civil authorities being loyal, sym
pathized with them rather than with their
innocent victim, aud the strong arm of
the law was never invoked against them.
But astrouger power than that which ad
ministers human law witnessed their
crime, and in the mysterious dispensa
tions of His providence has brought retri
bution upou them.
We learn that out of the entire number
of ruffians, three have since died, one was
receutlv thrown from his horse aud re
ceived injuries which are believed to be
mortal, while another is now lying in jail
for crime.
Eveu the tree to which Mr. Neal was
tied by his persecutors has been smitten
by tbe same unseen, but ever watchful
power, and is dead.
Though the mills of God grind slowly, v«t they
grind exceeding small,
Though with patience He stands waiting, with
exactuess grinds He all.
Volcanic Eruptions in the Moon.—
A volcanic action on the posterior hemi
sphere of the moon was observed by M.
DeCrety, a French savant, at the time of
the solar eclipse. He observed, he says,
three luminous protuberances on the
moon unite. They were feebly illumiua
ted, and resembled the tops of mountains,
receiving light from the solar rays. Fifty
minutes later, continues M DeCrety, two
thirds of the sun’s disc having emerged
from the moon, the same appendages
were seen, more strongly illuminated aud
better distinguishable from the luuar
disc ; their summit had the appearance of
metal in fusiou. Dr. Montucci, the re
porter of these facts at the Academy of
Science of Paris, says this a phenomenon
hitherto unheard of in the annals of as-,
tronomy.
STATE AGRICCLTCRAL SOCIETY-MEETING
OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

President, Mr. Harris moved that Mr.
Hutton be requested to sit with the Com
mittee aud aid them.

Walker and Dr. Marshall, of his delega
tion were introduced, and submitted the
following proposition :

Wm H. Hulsey,
Mayor of the city of Atlanta.
H. Marshall,
W. S. Walker.
After a full interchange of views, the fol
lowing resolution, offered by Mr. Nisbet,
was adopted unanimously :
Resolved, That ihe State Fair be held at

mencing with Macon next November, on

mittee shall locate it at their discretion.

of reut, was taken up, and, on motion of
Mr. True, of Morgan,
Resolved, That the proposition of the

structed to execute contracts with the City
Councils of Macon and Atlanta in solemn
form, in accordance with the resolution
of the Committee, on the subject of the
times and place, and conditions of hold
ing the annual Fairs.
By Mr. Obear—
Whereas, since the last meeting of our
Committee, Death has invaded our ranks
and taken from us one of our most effi
cient ahd valuable members—one who, by
his great energy in whatever he under
took, and the cordial and kind manner
which marked his intercourse with us,
had constrained us to set an especial value
upon his character aud his services ; there
fore,
Resolved, That in the death of Thurs
ton R Bloom, Esq., we have suffered a
loss which is indeed deeply to be deplored,
aud that for ourselves as a Committee, and
for the Society we represent, we tender
the family of our departed friend and co
worker the condolence aud heart felt
sympathy which such affliction should
receive.
Resolved, That the Secretary send a
copy of these resolutions to Mrs. Bloom,
and cause the same to be immediately
published in the city papers.
MELANCHOLY DEATH.
Shortly after five o’clock on yesterday
afternoon this community was startled by
the announcement that Mr. D. U. Oicott,
of the well-known firm of Cooper, Oicott
& Cos., had committed suicide by placing
a pistol in his mouth, pulling the trigger
and sending the charge crashing through
his brain, producing instaut death.
Mr. Oicott was the cashier of the firm,
and was in the habit of going to his room
over the book store at about three o’clock
p. N. every day, and indulging in a nap,
and yesterday, at about that hour, be went
to his room as usual, and at about five
o’clock became necessary, in the trans
action ot business, to obtain his signature
to a check, when a lad uamed Mclntosh
was sent to his room for that purpose.—
The lad immediately returned and report
ed that he believed he was dead. Two
other gentlemen, who were in the store
at the time, immediately went to his room
and found him lying upon the bed dead,
with a discharged pistol lying by his side.
Dr. Harden, the Coroner of Chatham
county, was notified, aud, at about eight
o’clock, he held au inquest upou view of
the body, and after hearing the evidence
of the boy Mclntosh, Mr. George Quan
tock and Dr. Read, tbe jury returned a
verdict ‘‘that the deceased came to his
death - from a pistol shot fired by his own
Laud.” .
It is impossible to assign any other
cause for this melancholy act than a fit of
temporary insanity, which must have
been produced by some sudden and mys
terious derangement of his physical sjs
tem. He was highly esteemed and re
spected by all his numerous friends and
acquaintances, and bis sudden death has
filled their hearts with gloom and sorrow.

feb#-wlt Hawklnsvllle, Q».
Scrofula, or King’s Evil,
is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in tlie circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, tilth
and tiltliy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con
stitution, descending 11 from parents to children
unto the third and fourtli generation ; ’’ indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, “I
will visit the iniquities of the fathers" upon
their children."
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of comipt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lung?, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu
tions not only suffer from scrofulous com
plaints, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de
eimntes the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive disenses of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous ;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an nlteintive medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such a medicine we supply in
AYER’S
Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,
the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing ami fatal malady. It is com
bined from tlie most active rcmedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, anil the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, hut also those other affec
tions which arise from it, such as Eruptive
and Skin Diseases, St. Anthony’s Fire, 1
Rose, or Erysipelas, Pimpi.es, Pustules, !
Blotches, Plains and Boils, Tumors, Tetter
and Salt Rheum, Sc ald Head, Ringworm,
Rheumatism, Syphilitic and Mercurial Dis- !
eases. Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Debility, and,
indeed, all Complaints arising from Vitia
ted or Impure Blood. The popular belie!
in “ impurity of the blood” is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible ill
contaminated constitutions.
AYER’S
Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Ilendarlie, or ll.lions
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases original,
lug in biliary derangement, caused by
the Malaria of Miasmutic Countries.
\\ e are enabled here to oiler tlie community a
remedy which, while it cures tlie above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such a remedy is invaluable in districts
where these afllicting disorders prevail. This
“Cure” expels the miasmatic poison of Fever
and Ague from the system, and prevents tlie de
velopment of the disease, if taken on the first ap
proach of its premonitory symptoms. It is not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for a dollar brings it within the
reach of every body ; and in bilious districts, where
Fever and Ague prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and protec
tion. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intennittents is that it contains no Quinine
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu
tion. n'lliose cured by it are left as healthy as if
they had never had the disease.
lever and Ague is not alone the consequence of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety of disor
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blind
ness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen, ll>/ster
ics, Pain in the Boicels, Colic, Paralysis and De
rangement of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the intermittent
type, or become periodical. This “ Cuke ” expels
tne poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. It is an invaluahle protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken occa
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis
ease. Hence it is even more valuable for protec
tion than cure, and few will ever suffer from Inter
mittents if they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords.
