A SONG OF THE WIND
Prom Casseel’ Magazine ]
She went across the Autumn woods,
The netted branches through ;
And the rotted leaves clung to her feet.
And to h”r hair the dew.
“0 wind 1” she cried, “for the spring’s sake,
And the love beyond the sea,
O South wind! O tender wind i
O, blow him back to me.”
She went across the winter fields,
The salt tears r.sing fast,
With her folded robe about her head,
Against the bitter blast.
“O North wind ! O Winter wind!
Because the sun has gone,
O, tell him thou art keen and cold,
And I am all alone.”
The wind came over,the fair fields.
And the wind came through the woods,
And strange feet crossed the pale spring grass,
And strange eyes saw the buds.
“O love!” he cried, “who called to me,
And I was slow to come;
The wail of the wind ja in nay heart,
But death is in my home.”

STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY,)
Secretary’s Office, l
Atlanta. Ga , Sept 1870. J
Dr. Sir : I enclose herewith a copy of a
card issued from this office acknowledging
the receipt of various contributions to the
Society’s Museum and Library. I have
mailed this card at the same moment to
every weekly paper in the State. Allow
me to say that I place peculiar value upon
the weekly press as a medium of commun «.
cation from this office witji the people at
their botne* and farms off the thorough
fares. The daily press is confined in the
main, in their circulation, to business men
in commerce and finance, and does not go
much into th interior. The weeklies do,
and through liberality this office seeks
and hoped to have at all times ready com
munication vvith the people. Under this
view and policy this office would make
your paper and all weeklies its or an, and
I will promise through .means of bulletins
printed as this is, by a job '*mee here, and
sent simultaneously to all papers, to all
papers and furnish them with the best
reading matter and general intelligence, ip
Agriculture which correspondence a,pd
other material ass rds. It is with sqch
objects in view that I beg of you the favor
of the publioa'ion in lull ot the enclosed
card, and the further favor that, you editori
ally call attention officers and members of
the County S cieiies to the resolution of
Mr Barnett on the subject of se ecting
Judges at the next Fair, and to th it, portion
of the card which calls up >n citizens for
contributions f> the Museum and Library
of 'he S -ciety.
Now, Mr Editor, with such a schedu e
t r this office as 'hat indicated above, why
should .you not call upon the members of
the C unty Societies also to ad"pt your
paper as their organ, and call upon them
too as individuals to subscribe to and sup
port your paper as the organ both of the
State and County Societies. Obviously to
my mind the weekly pape s furnish the
readiest and most valuable ipeansjur inter
communication between Ul3 State and
County Society.
Suppose your County Societies by a
standing committee publish weekly statisti
cal and general ipaupr in Agriculture
T esc reports . come through the, weekly
press to this office. This office selects ex
tracts. sums up 'hei-e reports and makes
its bulletin which embraces information
from all parts of the State, and send it out
to the weekly press, the .organs of the
.County as well as t,h,e State Society. Can't
you aid me in inaugurating, in urging this
policy. Very re-pectfu ly,
D. W. Lewis.
1. The Sec etary acknowledges the con
tribution to the M useum of the Society, by
Miss Emma Eve, of Marietta, of a Fan and
A’reath, both manifestii g muci skill in
construction, and showing such beauty in
design, color and form, as to defy powers of
descrint’on greater than he posi-esses.
2. Would also acknowledge in_ behalf of
the State Agricultural Society, with great
pleasure, the response made by many dele
gates of the recent Agricultural Convention
to his request communicated to them through
his Card of July 11th, to bring with them
to the Convention some precious or curiops,
specimens illustrating the mineralogy and
geology, or other branch of the natural his
tory id' the States. It would take a high
order of scientific skill to classify and prop
erly describe their various and interesting
contfibqtions.
Ist. Mr. J. R. Gamble presents a speci
men .of found in Chattpoga .county, in
a locality which hs very graphically called
the “Seaboard ot the Mountains ” It is in
many respecis similar to the reef of the
Florida Coasts, and evidently formed in the
same manner. Also, two vertebral sections
of fish, found in the same locality. To the
eye and touch, these latter seem phospbatic.
Mr. Gamble promises still more ißteresdng
contributions.
2d. Col. Ward of Butts oqunty, presents
some forty specimens of minerals and ores
from that county. Thuugh taken from the
immediate region mainly in which the Col.
lives, they indicate for the county great
richness in the variety and beauties of its
minerals. Among the number presented is a
specimen of quartz crystal equal to the finest
Scutch pebble in transparency. There are
in the number beautiful and rich specimens
of iron ore, and other ores indicating the
presence of copper. A striking feature in
nearly all the«e specimens is that any one
of them seems to be composed of a half dozen
elements. There is one speii nen, which on
the end where broken shows mixed quartz
and iron, with two rather fiat sides or sur
faces, indicating the results of fire and
smoke, so black a;e th y. and glazed ; and
across one of their black surfaces are the
colors and curve of a rainbow, aparently as
perfect as ever spanned the heavens. In
the same number of stones, from any locuK
ity, there could be found no stronger evi
dence of the necessity of a thorough scien
tific examination and cjasoificatlon of the
minerals.of the whole State
3rd. Col, G. R. Culvcrhouee, cf Crawford
county, presents some in'ere-tingspecimens
from the cyetareous formation at Rich Hill
in.that county, among which is a perfect
oysters with both .valves eloped, ajid.a
star fi3h Also a specimen which by the
side of the fine specimens of phosphates
sent to this office by Mr. John E, Dukes of
Charleston, would be pronounced as go"d
as they. A specimen of iron ore ia also
among the lot.
4 Col. Joseph A. Shewmake presents
gneoimens of Iron Ore from Burke county,
and three specimens of hammered Bar Iron
made from the ore by the Hancock Iron Cos.
These specimens have an appearance of
containing a high per cent of iron, which
is striking, and instantly so. It nas been
tested repeatedly by Analysis, and more
than o»'ce has the answer of high authority
in science been that there is no purer ore
in America, 75 to 80 r»er cent The depos
it is inexhaustible, ranging for miles from
a point four miles east of Waynesboro to the
Savannah River, cropping out in many lo
calities to an extent that renders mining
and digging unn> ce-saty
5. Messrs. Ritchford, J A. McMillan. D.
J. Mcßae, delegates from Montgomery
county, present a fragment from the monu
ment of Governor Troup. who is buried in
Montgomery county. The rock of which
the monument is made is found near the
spot. It seems to be a dark grevish sand
stone, very hard, ver\’ compact, with now
and then a cluster of small cells, in some of
which there seem to the naked eye to be
innumerable and injiiiitely small crystals.
It would be classed as good building -tone.
It is we!) t-hajt thi>, even if an infinitely
more valuable rein-, simuld have a piaee in
the museum of the Society. Gov. Troup
was a life member, and among the num
ber of its early frie ds When too old and
infirm to attend its meetings, he manifested
his sympathy with the efforts ot ito fr.ends
bv presenting the Ex< cu ive C mmittee in
1854 with fifty splendid fat mutton sheep.
6 Dr. P. W. Douglass presented an In
dian Calumet, ploughed up. on the Oconea
River, in Lauvens county, five niiles above
Dublin, it is made of grey soap stone
though,, very hard. It ha a cut on the
bowl, made by the plough share which ex
humed it. Ir weighs some three pounds.
7 Messrs. Ritchford, McMillen & Mcßae,'
of Montgomery county, present the Horns
of two Bucks that were found at the end of
a deadly combat, rtie one dead and the
other dying—-the horns having during the
fight become an interlocked as to have ren
d red separation or disengagement impos
sible by the animals themselves, thus ren
dering death by thirst and hunger inevita
ble. A singular combat—both victors and
both, victims—both conquerors and. both
conquered.
8. Mr 11. I Kimball presents a valuable
eol ection of minerals and ores, made in
Chattooga apd Dade counties and other por
ti ns of N< jrhwe-»t Georgia, by Mr. G. W.
II twapd, consisting of iron ores, Coal.
Grindstone, Fne Clay, Soapstone, and
other varieties, «

12. Mr. J G Miner, of Nashville, Tenn ,
presents to the Museum his newly patented
Sweep -June 28, 1870.
13 Governor Bullock presents to the Li
orary a large number of the Pamphlet
Laws and Jonrnals, the Code and Reports
of Superintendents of Public Works and
institutions,, thus gently aiding the efforts
of he Secretary in forming a Department
in the Library of the Society, which shall
embrace as,far as possible, a complete Doc
umentary History of the State.
14. The Secretary acknowledges the re
ceipt of a large number of valuable Docn
ments frpni’al.l tjie Departments at Wash
ington, sent irj response tp special request.
15. The attention of the officers of the
County Societies is called to the following
resolution of the August Convention. The
County Societies are requested to call spec.-
ial meetii gs on the first §aturday iu October,
to ascertain the names of tboae members
wh > will attend the Fair, apd immediately

16. Dr. Fowler, member of General As

two bushels of Oats, called Yellow Oats,
weighing more to the bushel, anu yielding

A “Headless Horseman" — now hr
Rode at Wokrth. — At the battle of Woerth
it is said that at,the third charge ofjthe cnir
a«Bieri.a lo fse was to he seen g dug at full
speed vvith a headless rider. The mutilated
corps was that ot M fie la Fufzun de Lacar
re, colonel of the Third regiment of French
cu ras>-ierß. who had been decapitated by a
cannon ball, Most people on reading this
wouid declare that it was a mere sensation
paragraph, totally devoid es truth. Such
an occurence, however, would not by any
means seem to beau impossibility. Not
L'.og ag" directed mjr readers’ attention
to an interesting article published by Dr.
Brinton, surgeon to the Philadelphia llos
pital, on the instantaneous rigidity which
f rms the occasional accompaniment of sud
den and violent death, such as results from
wounds of the head or heart. The startling
phenomenon sometimes seen on the battle
field, of the retention in death of the last
attitude in life, has not escaped the obser
vation of military surgeons, although the
facts connected therewith not been
studied with the attention that they deserve.
Those whoare familiar.with the descriptions
that were given of the Crimean battle-fields,
particularly Inker man, will remem
her that the various attirudes and the ex
pression of the features of the dead were
dwelt upon. The report of M. Chenu con
tains a short account, chiefly based upon
the communications of MM. Armand and
Perier of the attitudes of the dead in battle
during the Crimean and Italian campaigns.
At Magenta a Hungarian hussar, killed at
the same tirne as his horse, remaining al
most in Saddle, resting on his right side,
the point of his sabre carried forward, as
at the charge This rigidity generally fol
lows sudden and violent deaths, but no>
invaribly. Dr. Brinton, among his. cases,
gives onO of a v§ry striking.kind. lie says
that a man . wounded in the left breast at
Belmont, Miss uri, found a stray mule,
which he succeeded in mounting. While
in the act of riding the animal he died ; but
his corps retained the upright mounted pos
ition. and on its becoming necessary to
appropriate the mule to tho use of a living
wounded soldier the body was found to be
so firmly and rigidly set rs to demand a
certain amount of positive force to free the
mule from thp of the legs D r - Brio
ton is ied to conclude, from his owu obser
vations and those of other , that this battle
ueld rigidity is developed at the moment of
dearh, and that the cadaveris attitudes are
those of the last moment and act of life.—

all human beings of the universe, and noth

chosen people which might in the least
offend our brethren of another creed. On
the other hand, the new prayers, or those
under revision, shall, lav stress upon the

ments, a future universal knowledge of the
Almighty’s commands, a love of peace and

horrors of fhis war, which Thou has per
mitted to break forth in Europe ; restrain
the passions of the combatants, inspire the
conquerors with mercy, and the vanquished
with submission to Thy will ; give patience
to all who suffer ; prepare for the summons
those who are called to die ; and set to this
warfare hounds which it may not pass.
We pray Ibee, O, God, speedily grant
peace to the nations, , and..so overrule, in
Thy good providence, the course of all
events, that <>ur present anxieties may end
in the spread of righteousness, enlighten
ment and true liberty, and thus Thy King
dom may at last be established on earth.
And this we pray through the merits and
mediation of Jens Christ, our Lird and
Saviour, the Prince of Peace. Amen.

cnoir- At the eleventh hour, as it
were, the presence of the choir was forbid
den, but by whom dues not yet appear.
'1 he . chapel was crowded to its utmost
capacity, many of the congregation evident*
ly being attracted from motives of curiosity.
Ihe altar adorrimentß were of the most
gorgeous description, and the blazing lights
quite as profuse as those of St Albans.
Ibe officiating clergy were Rev. Messrs.
Brad 'ey, Bruce, Swupe, Shackleford, Br<>wa
and Parkman. The services consisted of
what the rirualists cull a low mass, or rath
er a series of low masses, which may be
as a compound of the cnmmun
iou service in the Episcopal B iok of
Common Pnjyer ,and the Romau Catholic
formulas. The chants were Greg -rian and
rather indifferently sung. Another re
markable feature of the service was the
preset ce of the Sisters of St. Mary, en
