THE COUNTRYMAN
TURNWOLT), GA., OCTOBER 20, 1862.
The Confederate Union.
I have inadvertently omitted to notice,
heretofore, tho change of name by the old
Federal Union. It is now called the Con
federate Union, instead of the Federal
Union. This name is perhaps more appro
priate, in consideration of the present or
der of things, though I cannot see any
great objection to the name Federal Union,
if applied to the Southern Confederacy.
But the change is well enough, to give my
cotemporary individuality.
My friends, though, should now change
their motto to this: “State Bights and
Confederate States Rights.” and thus make
it conform more exactly with their name.
The father of the writer was, during the
days' of the nullification of 1833, the au
thor of the old motto of the old Federal
Union. I have repeatedly heard him say
so. He suggested it to the pioprietors of
the paper, and at his suggestion it was
adopted by them. I take an interest in
having a continued fitness of things, and
therefore propose the change which I do.
By the way, I must be allowed id' ten-
derat this time of the Union’s tailing new
held upon life, by its cognomial rejuvena
tion, my wishes for its continued prosperi
ty and success. May its shadow never
grow less.
Recipe for Making Corn Beef.
“A correspondent of the Savannah Re
publican gives the following‘recipe for ma
king coriled beef:—So soon after butcher
ing the beef as is convenient, cut it into
such sized pieces as you desire, and sprink
le with salt, and let it lie and drip till all
the animal heat is gone.—For 100 lbs. of
beef, take 4 oz. of saltpetre (pounded fine
ly) and 4 lbs. of brown sugar—all well
mixed. Sprinkle this compound thinly
ovei the bottom of the barrel, and put
down a layer of beef. Over this, sprinkle
the compound again, then put another
layer of beef, and continue to do so, till the
barrel is filled, allowing a large amount of
the mixture of salt, saltpetre, etc., to sprink
le over the top layer. Put heavy wsights
on the top of the beef, and be sure always
to keep the top layer covered with salt.”
Judge Foster.
“A short time before this eminent judge’s
death, he went to the Oxford circuit in the
hottest part of one of the hottest summers
that had ever been known. He was then
so far advanced in years, as to be scarcely
able to discharge the important duties of
his office : and. when the grand jury of
Worcester attended for the charge, be ad
dressed them as follows : ‘Gentlemen, the
weather is very hot, I am very old, and
you are very well acquainted with what is
your duty : I have no doubt but you will
practise it.’ ”
Bold Appeal.
‘‘A poor old vtoinan had often in vain
attempted to obtain the ear of Philip of
Macedon, to certain wrongs of which she
complained. The king atlast abruptly told
her ‘ he was not at leisure to hear her.’—
‘No !’ exclaimed she: ‘then you are not at
leisure to be a king.’ Philip was confound
ed. He pondered a moment, in silence,
over her words, then desired her . to pro
ceed with her case, and ever after made
it a rule to listen attentively to the appli
cations of all who addressed him.”
Dissimulation.
“ Dissimulation in youth is the forerunner
of perfidy in old age. Its first appearance
is the fatal omen of growing depravity and-
future shame. It degrades parts and learn
ing, obscures the lustre of accomplishment,
and sinks us into contempt. After the first
departure from sincerity, it is not in our
power to stop. Ora. artifice unavoidably
leads on to another, till, as the intricacy of
the labyrinth increases, we are left entan
gled in our snare.”
ADVERTISEMENTS.
Legal advertisements at the usual rates, and
all others at 10c per line, for each insertion, cash
in advance. Obituaries and marriages, short or long,
are advertisements. tf
Prospectus.
The Countryman is a Little Paper published
on .the editor’s plantation, 9 milts from Eaton-
ton, at $1 per annum, in advance.—1 do not profess
to publish a news paper, for, under the circumstan
ces, that i3 impossible. My aim is to model my
journal after Addison’s Little Paper, The Spectator,
Steele’s Little Paper, The Tatler, Johnson’s Little
Papers, The Rambler and The Adventurer, and Gold
smith’s Little Paper, The Bee: neither of which, I
believe, was as large as The Countryman. It is my
aim to till 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 be divided into quarterly volumes,
each of which will make a book, when reprinted,
containing 400 octa«o pages of the most interesdug
matter found in the English luuguage.—No back
numbers can be supplied now, but the volumes will
be reprinted and bound hereafter.
