TUK ROMANCE OF IUK TIMES.
AN ORIGINAL POEM.
For ths Georgia Ilersld.]
Where are the stars, plumes, titles, might
one say,
That marked with splendor chivalry’s ar
ray f
This land for civil equality renown’d.
With these features of pageantry is crown'd.
The present e’en in its heraldic dow’r,
Vies with the past in its full pride and
pow'r.
Not by hereditary right restrain’d,
N -r rarely by plebeian merit obtain’d,
Titles in thick profusion bestud the land
Like stars M Iky Way or Orion’s band.
Each aspirant may a title passes
To swell his merit, adorn his address.
Can you in art fiddle-bow deftly use,
Or w.th slight-of-hand show, the crowd
amuse,
With Professor, title of classic grace,
You may your name pompously preface.
Should you choose military epithet,
Tin/ you may have never worn epanletie,
You may Captain dub yourself, or Colonel
With its stiff, formal, curt, abrasive swell.
In this land which holds men equal and free,
This porohant prevails to that degree,
I’d vagaries of modern etiquette,
Lawyers are dubbed with soldier’s soubri
quet ;
Tho’ they’ve not fouuht on fields with carn
age rife
Nor serried ranks led to deadly strife,
Their waving plume in the van flashing
'far,
’Mid storm of battle, glory’s guiding Slfcf
Naught of conflict have they seen save de
bate,
W’hy then thus titled it is hard to state,
Unless perchance they use their tongues so
well,
For pre-eminence they are called Colonel.
Nor scan we this enlighten’d age in vain,
For arts of glamour, superstitions train,
Which romantic minds fondly deem to cast
Enamoring spell o’er the gloaming past.
They who practice them, chill not with
terror
As Macbeth’s greans or the with of Endor ;
Or ride us others on broomsticks i' the air,
Or with necromantic art charms prepare,
Or curse pronounce, that like dark ban of
fate
Wither souls and bodies of those they hate.
No! rap 1 rap \ rap lon table, floor or wall—
Lu 1 the spirits throng—-’tis tbeir signal
call,
And medium, as Mercury’s gloomy wand,
From realms unseen evokes the ghostly
band.
But they weave not their spells of witchery,
Through aid of cloven-footed Majesty.
As Morse’s wires they but conquer timt
and space,
Features of absent friends discern and trace,
Or kindly converse hold with spirit-band,
And messages transmit from unseen land.
Though revelations they make full of awe,
Still not obnoxious to old witches’ law.
Yet in those days of New England’s rigor,
They'd not have escaped its code of terror,
Nor medium deem’d mere antoraaton,
That moves only as it is moved upon.

WILL PLANTERS BE WISER?
From the Mobile Tribune.}
What will the planters do this
year’? is the question we hear most
frequently asked by persons taking
an interest in the future condition of
the South. That this the foundation
class, on whose labors and success
we are dependent for all genuine re*
cuperation, of solid improvement,
will continue energetic in their efforts
to make available the productive re*
sources of the Southern States, none
are disposed to question. But with
what judgment will their plans be ad
opted, their efforts directed ? That
is the question, and the question of
no mean impoitance. We have fail
ed to meet an intelligent planter who
did not unhesitatingly express the
the conviction that the grain crop
was of more unquestionable impor
tance than was the cotton crop for
insuring the pecuniary independence
of this now impoverished land. There
is, and can be, no difference of opin
ion among well informed sensible men
on this subject; yet very many well
informed men continue year after
year practically to contradict their
expressed belief in this truth. They
say, and we all concur with them in
saying, that the cotton crop should
be limited to, and solely constitute
the surplus production—the actual
increase of wealth to the producers.
If planters would strictly conform
their practice to this approved policy
they would insure to themselves more
of home comforts, more independence,
fewer anxieties, and more of assured
# » -T* - * **'■* r • .
annual increase of fertune. Cotton
is not a necessary of life, not eren an
absolute necessary ot commt*rce.
Corn is an essential to life, and the
planter who is without corn, but has
cotton, roust dispose of his cotton at
any price he can get, in order to pay
for the corn any price the holder may
choose to ask for it. A man may live
on with his back naked, but only for
a limited period with his stomach
empty. Corn, then, is a prime nec
essity—man’s animal organization
makes it so—it is the Almighty Maki
er’a ordinance, and it cannot, with
out incurring penalties, be set aside
and made to take the place of second
ary importance.
This is another exemplification of
the fact that to do right is always the
only safe policy. The departures
from this confessedly wisest practice
by so many, if not by the great ma
jority of our planters, can only be
accounted for by referring it to that
innate selfishness which is ever
prompting man to maKe the public
subservient to his individual interest.
Each man hopes that his friends and
neighbors and all other men will
closely adhere to the rules of sound
policy and so limit their cotton plant
ing as to insure heavy crops of grain
and of necessity a limited yield of
ootton, while he alone will by his
special sharpness in making the re
verse rule his practice, have a large
crop of cotton to dispose of at the
enhanced prices, with the proceeds
of which he can easily supply his
corn wants and at nominal rates.
Nor does his disappointment, year by
year, dispel his vain delusion. He
clings still to the hope that he will
some lucky year prove to have been
snorter than his fellows. Unfortun
ately for }iun, he belongs, has belong
ed, and we fear will continue to be
long to the heavy majority side of
our southern planters. Either thl?
short-sighted selfishness, or a culpa
ble ignorance of their true interests,
or else a love of slavish dependence,
has kept, and we greatly fear will
continue to keep, our Southern plant’
ers in the position of bailiffs to rich
and exacting northern and western
proprietors. There is and there can
be no independence for the South so
long as we are dependent on other
sections of country for the simple
necessaries of life. To no other one
cause are we more indebted for the
present state of humiliation and deg
radation than to our having pursued
this same foolish and disgraceful pol
icy before the war. We had not the
means within ourselves of support
during a protracted contest, and so
not even the reckless expenditure of
life could save us from being starved
into submission. Are we demented,
that we can be taught nothing by our
calamitous reverses and scourgings?
Must some fatality cause us eagerly
to rush again into our old political
party enthrallment, and to make
haste to resume our old commercial
dependence,? Will nothing teach us
common sense —the common sense of
how boot to live ? We again repeat,
that he is the best citizen Who most
judiciously controls his own house
hold and most successfully provides
all the requisites for living independ'
ent of the world without. Substantial
houses, secure enclosures, full crops
of grain, strict attention to stocks of
horses, hogs, and cattle, moderate
crops of cotton, the wise application
of surplus means to the development
of the resources of the country —to
the working of mines and building of
manufactories, and roads, and found
eries, and with still more strict atten*
tion to intellectual and moral culture,
will most surely put us i.& the way of
of retrieving our lost fortunes and
for making straight our badly warped
reputation.
The Best Definition Yet —The
Telegraph and Messenger says, some
chap whose head is exceedingly
“level,” thus defines the thing called
“Reconstruction
“Which is it that’s the best
government the world ever seed ?
Georgy ought to have found out by
this time, having run some fourteen
or more since Dixie went up : First,
territory ; second, provisional; third,
no government; (just sloshin’ round
loose, like a stray dorg ;) fifth, civil
and military mixed; sixth, in the
United States one-fourth ; seventh,
plum, out, &c., &c., down to the four
teenth—which started crut to
run a sorter doubled barred nxin’—
that is, civil when it suits, military
when it don’t, and it suits and don’t
about eYery new moon.”

GEORGIA. PROSPECTS IN CONGRESS.
The Chrunicl and Sentinel of
Thursday, says it has seen private
“advices from Washington which
state that the House will probably
provide for a purely military provis
ional goverment of the State until
next November, when an election for
members of the Legislature, for State
officers, and for Congress will be pro
vided for. We have seen a copy of
the bill which will be offered in the
House by a Republican member—
one who is disgusted with the knavery
and rascality of Bullock and Blod
gett —and which will receive a strong
support from the more honest and
respectable of their party. This bill
declares the government of Georgia
provisional, and provides that the
General-in Chief of the Army of the
United States shall appoint an officer
of the army, of a rank not less than
that of Colonel, to be Provisional
Governor of the State. Direct the
Military Commander of the District
to appoint, from officers of the army,
a General Superintendent of the
State Road, a State Treasurer and a
Controller-General, and turns o'ver
the whole machinery of the State
Government to these officials thus
selected from the officers of the army.
It also provides for the holding of a
State election in November next for
members of the Legislature, members
of Congress and for a Governor and
State officers.”
The same paper says with refer
ence to the feeling at Atlanta :
We have just received a letter
from a friend in Atlanta, which states
that the Georgia Agency affected to
believe that the Cessna Bill will be
adopted, and that Bullock and his
gang pretend that they will be en
tirely satisfied if the Cessna Bill is
adopted*
The Cessna bill continues tie
Agency in office till 1872. We don’t
believe it can pass. We believe Bul
lock is virtually beaten, already, and
has made up hiS mind to do his do
towards ruining the Stat* and pun
ishing the white people, between now
and next November. Let no man,
woman, or child give him the least
chance to brew fresh deviltry at
Washington. He would give a
month’s draw on the State Road, just
now, for an “outrage” —a good, fat,
horrible outrage —a half dozen loyal
men Ku Kluxed, and afterwards
skinned, and then broiled on the
coals, then crucified and finally
thrown into a pond as they are treat
ed in North Carolina—according to
Holden. It is true his Atlanta mil)
may manufacture a doZeit of these
lies a day, and Forney may print
them at so much a line, but Bullock
is pretty well known about Washing
ton, and he would have to produce
the proof. Thanks to the unscrupu
lousness of the hired defarners and
assassins who have been slandering
and stabbing Georgia around the
Capital for the last three or four
months, these outrages have to be
proved now. Even the Radicals who
are most friendly to them, are tired
of being gulled by these miserable
creatures. —Telegraph and Mesien
9er - . ,
The Chronicle and Sentinel gives
the following occount of the arrest of
Norris, Terry’s sheriff of warren
county, and the cause thereof:
On M onday night Norris was ar
rested by the officer in command of
the United States soldiers stationed
in Warrenton, on a charge of having
received bribes from several citizens
of the county. As soon as he was
arrested he was placed in confine
ment, and the case reported to Gen.
Terry at Atlanta.
It is said that several citizens of
the county had, in order to avoid ar
rest on false grounds by the sheriff,
made up a purse and given it to Nor
ris, an condition that he would let
people alune. It is charged that
Norris received the money, and in
consideration thereof proclaimed
peace with the inhabitants. The
bribes which he i« charged wi£h har
ing received were large—amounting
altogether to nearly, it not quite, $7,
ObCK About $3,200 of this amount
was in cash—-the rest, about $2.
was in promissory notes given by
citizens of the county.
The fellow’s lust for money seems
to have been insatiable, and one or
two parties Were bled very heavily.
It IB said that one planter paid him
$1,500 cash, and that another gave
him SBOO cash. Rumor rays that
tho Federal soldiers under Norris are
not above suspicion, and that they
otily made the arrest because the af
fixir was leaking out, and they were
afraid it would be heard of at head
auarterf and an inreetigation be oik

MONUMENT OVEK THE GRAVE 0 Y
GENERAL T. J. JACKSON.
It is generally known, that soon af»
ter the death of Gen. Jackson, the
Stonewall Brigade obtained from Mrs.
Jackson the privilege of erecting a
moument over his remains.
The amount raised was lost in 1365,
and the sad reverses of the country
have prevented the completion of their
patriotic and loving purposes. Seven
years have passed since our General
tell, and we now ask you to unite with
us in a suitable memorial ot love and
respect; one that more than all others
meets with the cordial approbation of
Mrs. Jackson.
Every State in the South was re*
presented at different times in his
army corps. Let organizations be at
once formed in every vicinity, and the
furuU contributed be remitted to
either of the undersigned, who will de
posit them at the banking house of R.

a sufficient amount is collected.

t&r Bourreiff, special foreign cor
respondent of the Constitution, in a
letter dated Taris, April 20, 1870,
says ;
“Russia having emancipated man,
is doing the same for woman. She
is employed in telegraph offices, and
if not yet elevated to the bench, or
permitted to move in the “gold ring,”
she can henceforth, by a late decree,
take out her diploma as a surgeon, an
M. D., or both. France, that wants
all change effected by the magic wand
of Prospero, is just now “talking
over” the position of the woman
question. In no other country in
th? world, has Woman so much influ
ence, ana excepting in outward forms
and ceremonies, so respect as in
tliis. She is quick, full of tact, and
natural intelligence, and the fashion
seems to tend to restore her to the
power she possessed in the Seven
teenth Century. She had Iloiisseau
at her feet, and she was the only idol
that great iconocl *st, Voltaire, spar
ed. It is Dumas fils that ha3 opened
up the matter. lie does not, like
the knights of old, enter the lists
With “My God, my King, and my
Lady,” on his banners, lie scouts
the claim for her equality with man
—but as there is some 60ul of good
ness in things evil—he thinks her
utility is rather bent when she plays
Somewhat the role of a vampire.
Gentle reader, don't start, he will
unsay all this to-morrow, and has
written some of the most pathetio
appeals on behalf of the frail sex.
Musset ought not to be overlooked in
the debate. He wrote, years ago,
that men wore liars and hypocrites,
women perfidious and artificial, and

The man has preserved the vices of
the tyrant, and women, the cunning
of the slave—one thing ennobles
them—elevates them above them
selves—love.

abolition proclivities of the Northern Bap
tists. The relations between tha two now
are very friendly. The Seuthern Assooia-:
