8 THE COUNTRYMAN. TURN WOLD, GA., SEPTEMBER 29, 1862. Salt Meeting. At a meeting of the citizens of Putnam County, held on last Tuesday, on motion of J. T. Bowdoin, W. C. Davis was appoin ted agent to receive and disburse the por tion of salt corning to our people under Gov. Brown’s arrangement to supply the country with this much-needed article. Newspapers. “ Many persons like newspapers, but few preserve them : yet the most interest ing reading imaginable is a file of newspa pers. It brings up the past age with all its bustle and everyday affairs, and marks its genius and its spirit more than the most labored description of the historian. Who can take up a paper half a century old, with out the thought that almost every name there printed, is now upon a tombstone, or at the head of an epitaph ? The newspa pers of the present day will be especially interesting, years hence, as containing the current record of events fraught with tre mendous import to the cause of freedom in all the civilized world. We therefore would urge upon all, the propriety of preserving thei r papers. They will be a source of pleasure and interest to them hereafter. ” The father of the editor of The Coun tryman was one of the most indefatigable preserveis of newspapers, and newspaper slips. Hence one of the rich store-houses from which this journal draws its excellent selections with so much facility. Soap without Grease. “ A correspondent sends us the following recipe for making soap without grease, which is of importance to house-keepers at this time.: * To four gallons of strong lye, add ten pounds of distilled rosin : or eight pounds of pine-gum not distilled and free of trash is better. Boil steadily, until there is no ros in to bo seen : and if the quantity of lye is not sufficient, add more, and continue to add- until the rosin is out, and boil until it makes a brown jelly soap. I have used this soap fq;’. a year, and it is equal to the best soap HiAfie with grease, Henry IY. of Trance. « Before the battle of Jvry, Henry made an address to his soldiers. If was brief, but singularly impressive: < Enfans, je suis votre Roi : vous etes Francois : voila l’ennemi: donnons (Sol diers,I am your king : you are Frenchmen : behold the enemy : let us charge.’ ”) “Virtue would not go so far, if vanity did not bear her company.” Good, Easy People. “There are a vast number of easy, pliable, good-natured human expletives in the world, who are just what that world choos es to make them. They glitter without pride, and are affable without humility. They sin without enjoyment, and pray without devotion. They are charitable, not to benefit the poor, but to court the rich. Profligate without passion, they are de bauchees to please others, and to punish themselves. Thus a youth without fire is followed by an old age without experience, and they continue to float down the tide of time, as circumstances or chance may dic tate, divided between God and the world, and serving both, but rewarded by neither.” “He must he a truly houest man who is willing to be always open to the inspection of honest men.” AD VK RTISEM ENTS.

The Countryman is a Little Paper published on the editor’s plantation, 9 miles from Eaton- ton, at $1 per annum, in advance.—1 do not profess to publish a news paper, for, under the circumstan ces, that is impossible. My aim is to model my journal after Addison’s Little Paper, The Spectator, Steele’s Little Paper, The Taller, Johnson’s Little Papers, The Rambler and The Adventurer, and Gold smith’s Little Paper, The Bee: neither of which,! believe, was as large as The Countryman. It is tny aim to fill my Little Paper with Wit, Humor, Anec dote, Essays, Poems, Sketches, Agricultural Ar ticles, and Short Tales. I do not intend to publish any thing that is dull, didactic, or prosy. I wish to make a neatly-printed, select Little Paper—a pleasant companion for the leisure hour, and to re lieve the minds of our people somewhat from the engrossing topic of war news. This journal will bedivided into quarterly volumes, each of which will make a book, when reprinted, containing 400 octavo pages of the most interesting matter found in the English language.—No back numbers can be supplied now, but the volumes will be reprinted and bound hereafter. J. A. TURNER, Eatonton, Ga. This is decidedly the most readable paper which reaches our office, 'and we think a great many people would be much benefited bv taking it, paying for it, and reading it.
