[A young lad, of Now York wa* in the habit oi writing for the Philadelphia Led ger on he subject (it Temperance. Her writing* evinced such deep emotion that a triend of hers accused her of boing a roari’ac on the subject cf Whereupon she wrote the following stan- ZRB :] Go, feel what I have felt, Go, hear what I have borne Sink 7 ueath the bl"ws a father dealt, And the cold world's scorn ; The sufferer on from year to year— The sole relief the scorching tear. Go, kneel where I have knelt, Implore, beseech and pray- Strive the besotted heart to melt, The downward course to stay ; Be dashed with bitter curse aside, Your prayers burlesqued, your tears defied. Go, weep as I have wept, O’er a loved father’s fall See every promised blessing swept— Youth’s sweetness turned to gall— Life’s fading flowers strewn all the way That brought, me to woman’s day. Go, see what I have seen. Behoid the strong man bow— With gnashing teeth, bps bathed in bb>i and, A cod and livid br>>w ; Go, catch his withering glance, and see There mirrored his soul’s misery. Go, hear, and feel, and see, and know, All that my soul hath felt and known ; Then lock upon tne wine cup’s glow, See if its beauty can atone— Think if its flavor you will try When all proclaims, “’tis drink and die !” Tell me I hate the bowl— Ilate is but a feeble word; I loathe—abhor—my very soul With strong disgnst is stirred, When’er I see, or hear, or tell Os that AMNESTY FUR ALL. IN EARNEST PI.F.A F R TUB REMOVAL oF POI.I TIC \L DISABILITIES. From the Cincinnati Gazette i Republican). Senator Revels was called on in t!u Senate on Tuesday to give his views as to a general amnesty« He stated that the Republican party in Mississippi bad approved the policy of a general amnesty for the people of M ssissippi, and that he supported it This is Senator Revels’ testimony of the Southern people, so far as he knows them. There is no reason to suppose that the san e policy would not be as wise in the other Southern States. And there is much evidence that an elective government which disfr nchises the principal body of the tax pavers, and ostracises those most intelligent and most accustomed t-» the affairs ot government, runs to prefhgaey. We know that in the States that formally seceded, the mass of the in telligent, and of the tax payers, and of the natural leaders of society went into the secession movement either by instinct or by the force of association. We can reason that to attempt to car ry on a popular government which exi eludes these, is to abandon the con servative forces of intelligence and responsibility. We cannot avoid the conclusion that such a government has no right to exist, and that if the people can not be trusted the Nation al government should govern them. But we are met by a picture of the heniousness of the crime of rebellion, and are told that to grant amnesty to rebels is to become accessories after the fact to the murder of our soldiers. And. furthermore, we are frightend with the bugaboo that if the disabil ities are removed, Jefferson Davis and John C. Breckinridge will be back in the Senate. This is a fearful anti climax. The gigantic crime of the rebellion against the best government the sun ever shone on —a crime wihch our most strained orators were wont to say is the greatest since the crucifixion— the murder of a quarter of a million of <’ur soldiers--all taken satisfactory vengeance upon by excluding Jeff Davis and JuhnC. Breckinridge from the Senate ! It is like the regime of vengeance brought in by Andrew Johnson, who, for a month, bellowed to admiring delegations retribution upon traitors, and then exhausted it all in a requirement that Jefferson Davis should be Hed by a jury, which roost unavoidably be made up of his confederates. It seems to us that any seal© of justice adequate to this view was abandoned when Lincoln and* Giant granted terms of capitulation to the rebel armies, which amnestied in termaall the fighting men of the re~ hellion. To go around after that picking up civilians and stragglers to administer justice upon in rather a small business. And besides, we find it impossible to be scared by the prospective return of Jefferson Davis and John C. kinridge to the Senate. More than that, we sav let them come. We would as lief have John C. Breckin ridge as any other Kentucky Demo* crat. We believe him preferable to many who practiced Kentucky neu trality, and who somehow fancy that they conquered, and are anxious to continue the rebellion. Breckinridge tried it thoroughly and bravely, and has had enough, and we see nothing in his conduct to indicate anything else than a desire to repair the des truction caused by war to his own for tunes and to those of the Common wealth. True, lie will probably continue his relations with the Democratic party. But if by fidelity ti our slain soldiers we mean exclusion of Democrats from Congress, let it be distinctly said. And if we do not mean this, let us recognize the distinction. If we are to have a Democrat for -Senator from Mississippi, is it not morally certain that we shall have one who fully sympathized with se'* cessiou and aid-d it? And if so, we would as lief have Jeffersoi Davis as any other His ability is unquestion, ed. lie has large experience in the affairs cf our government. The Sen ate needs such members. The lead ing Southern members were always good watchman of the public Treasu ry. That is what is most needed now. The debasement of the Senate, both in the number of Senators who lack that element of responsibility which is made by adequate constituencies, and by the number whose position is so temporary and unnatural that it lacks all the elements ol responsibili ty, has given such ease to pmfligite Schemes that the country needs the aid of all the forces that w uld op 0 pose them. This is now the most practiced patriotism. The conviction has been forced upon the public mind that the exper iment of governing the Southern States by ostracising the great body of tax payers and all those who, un der the natural conditions, came into the administration of government, and by foisting over them INorthern sojourners, freedman’s bureau men. and the most ignorant of the natives, has worked badly, and that the ser - vices of the former governing ele° merits are needed for the protecrion of the people. The name of loyalty is too dear at cost of such a system of plunder, as, for example, that in South ( arolina, under an Ohio car* pet bagger. There may be a question if patru otism is compatible with public plun der, or, if patriotism which requires public plunder tor its support is worth the cost. But let us understand the principle upon which we are acting Is it that all who went into the rebellion should be deprived of political privil eges? Then our reconstructions are all wrong. There is a talk of willingness to remove disabilities as fast as these men give evidence of a return to loy alty. What are the si*, ns of loyalty? Let its conditions be plainly set forth, that the Southern rebels may know what is required of them Does it mean an oath ol allegiance to the Constitution of the United States ? That certainly should be indispensa* ble. Does it mean that they shall join the Republican party, or that they shall support the next amend ment to the Constitution ? If that is the meaning let it be set forth in plain terms. But in fact, it is very hard to state any rational conditions for continuing these disabilities, and, on the other hand, there are many urgent reasons for removing them. To this conclusion the public has the testimony of the first representative of the co ored race in the United Siates Senate, who speaks for a race which has most reason to be jealous of the restoration of the political power of the old sliveholding class, and who affirms that the people of his color in the State of Mississippi* have declared for a complete amnes - ty. If it is good there it is good in all the States. Jack. McCray who was convicted o* murder at the last term of the Crawford Superior Court was pardoned by his Excel> lency Gov.

The first forty acres of steam-plow ed lands, which weie broken up in the spring of 1868 and planted in corn and peas, and sugar cane in the fall of the same year, gave a yield of luO.OOO pounds dry sugar, being over 2 500 pounds, or two and one-half bogheads of sugar to the acre. On other steam-plowed lands, planted the following spring in cane, the re* suit has been nearly as satisfactory, and this too during a seasoß more un propitions for the yield of sugar than any known for the last twenty-five years Many fields where the stand of cane was equally as good, but cul tivated only with horse power, and receiving much more labor and atten tion than the steam-plowed lands, did not produce more than 1,500 pounds, or one and one half bogheads the acre. Therefore, experience fully justifies stating that the yield of cane upon the steam plowed and steam-cultivat ed lands, and with less than haty the labor , will be fifty per cent, greater than can possibly be obtained by any other system of cultivation. The ad vantages which will be derived from the application ot steam to the culti vation of the soil, in our rich and in exhaustible lands in the valley of the Mississippi, and the vast prairies of the West, so admirably adabted to steam cultivation, is not now within the reach of human mind to calculate. The prejudices against steam-cul tivating machinery may yet, for a time, retard its general use on this continent; but the scarcity of, and rapidly increasing demand for labor, now so sensibly felt in every section of out country, can only be supplied by the introduction into general use of the steam plow. It will suppersede the necessity of the introduction of Chinese labor. We will then be able to supply the world with cotton, bread and meat. There is no coun try so admirably adapted to steam cultivation as ours ; and the day is not far distant when the smoke of the steam pl( w will ever be in sight of the millions of freemen who will then cultivate and inhabit our vast agri cultural continent. Constitution. Senator Chandler vs The British Lion . Don Piatt writes it was a great day for America when Zach. Chandler assailed the British bon in the Senate. “The brave, the valor ous old Senator smote the lion on the snout until he quailed. lie shook him by the mane until his old bones rattled. lie twisted his tail until the vile beast howled with anguish. All the while the American bald-headed eagle soared and screamed, and screamed and soared, holding aloft the forked lightning and the star spangled banner. It was a proud day for America, and venerable Sen ators, with bald-heads and ill-fitting garments, snorted defiance while writ ing letters and reading newspapers. The conciliatory smile passed for once from the face ol the Vice Presi dent. He sat like Mars, and his majestic brows corrugated, resembled a vulcanized roof in a thunderstorm. Fleet: ic streams of loyal patriotism — that is not States-rights patriotism —flashed and quivered along the galleries, while tear settled like an old iien in the diplomatic gallery, where Mr. Thorton’s first attache and two old ladies of German origin, trembled and shook until their shawls fell off.” United States Mail to Germany.— The direct German mails are dis patched from New York to Hamburg on Tuesdays, and to Bremen on Thursdays and Saturdays of each week. The postage on letters for the German States via Baltimore, is 10 cents fur each Jounce; single papers, 3 cents : book prints, 6 cents for each four ounces. Religions and their Followers. —Os the population ot the earth 260,000,- OuO are comprehended in Christen dom. Buddhism numbers 170.000,- 000, Brahminisin, 60,000,000. There are 5,0**0,000 Jews, and Mahome danism claims 96.000,000. Outside of these religons there are 100,600,- 000 souls who worship the objects of Nature, animals, plants, etc. Gambling. —“ What harm is there,’ said a young man, “in playing a game of cards for amusement ? It leads lo the formation of bad Habits— gambling, drinking, swearing; and it is attended by loss of time, loss of health , loss of reputation , loss of peace 1 loss oi fortune, and loss of both body and send. RELfGOIIS ITEMS. Revision o f the. Bible m England. —The London correspondent of the Now York Times says: The Convocation of York Refuses to join with thut of Canterbury in bringing jfbout a revision of the En - glish Bible. For this reason a goyal commission is out of the question* but the Convocation of Canterbury lias resolved to undertake the work, and ask the aid of all religious de nominations throughout the English speaking world. The Dean ot Can terbury wished to include the Jews also, so far as the Old Testament is conerned. Therefore, every one who has an amendment to propose should send it to the Archbishop of Canter bury, postpaid. The present version was a long time in preparation, and after it was published it was a full half a century before it came into general use. A new* version might take longer, considering the violent opposition of men like Lord Shaftes bury to any change. It is said that an adequate revision would on an average change one word in every verse of the New Testament; and many whole verses, and some that are considered very important ones, would be left out altogether. Still as far as I can see the errors are not so important as many suppose, and the interpolations are, in nine cases in ten, merely explanatory, and many have been first introduced as marginal notes, and afterward care lessly embodied in the text. But in a rapidly changing language every translation requires frequent revision. Words and phrases have not the same meaning now that they had two centuries ago. Strange if True. The Charleston News recently gave the following strange story : A few days since, there was a col ored man in the city with a scar en tirely around his neck. It i3 stated that during the closing days of tho late war, lie was tried by a drum-head court martial, found guilty, sentenced to death, duly hung, and pronounced dead by two surgeons in attendance, one of whom secured the body, 110 tnen res toyed the hanged man to lite. Although he was to all appearances dead, yet the vital spark was not quite extinct. The hanged rnan hid himself until -the war was over, and then settled on a farm wi bin thirteen miles of the city, where he is now at work. The scar alluded to is hut the marks of the rope by which he was suspended. The execution, it is al leged, took place in Kershaw county. It is also stated that the surgeon who restored the man to. life is now a resident of this city. TENANCY FARMING INIILELXND. Information recently laid before Parliament embraces some interest ing facts relating to tenant farms in Ireland. The whole number of farms is 682,U00. There are 512,080 larms of less value than 8*75 a year ; 91.008 are valued at $75 and under $150; 38,534 at $l5O and under $250 ; 24,- 857 at $250 and under SSOO ; 72,- 698 at SSOO and upward. This val uation is supposed to be the basis of poor-rate assessments, and at least twenty per cent, below tho actual letting value. Os these farms 526,- 539 are tenancies at will; lease ex ceeding twenty-one and under thirty one years, 22,217 ; exceeding thirty one and under sixty years, 4,312 ; exceeding sixty and under ninety nine years, 5,497 ; exceeding ninety nine years, 3,903 ; for lives, 28,339 , for live3, alternative, 30,880 ; renewa ble forever, 4,540 ; perpetuity, 10,- 128 ; in occupation of proprietors it) fee, 20,217. » ' A Famine Virginia. —An exchange says, in Appomattox and neighbor ing counties in Virginia, there is a genuine famine. Hundreds are re duced to beggary. The drought of 1869, the ruin of the country by Grant’s army sacking it, the inabili ty of property-holders to give labor to the people ns the result of Govern ment measures, and the social disor ders, are the causes. The Columbus Sun truthfully fore shadows the future political move ments of the ex-Governor of Idaho iu a few words: “The promised crusade against Bullock will amount to weak and silly abuse of him per sonally, until he pays Bard to stop.” —Savannah Republican. The Port Royal Railroad. —Eleven hundred hands are employed at work on the Port Royal railroad. The work is progressing simultaneously »t both ends, and the rail is being laid the rate of half a mile a day. Bo says tac Barnwell Jcvrr***. NO. 27*
