) > ■p 32 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.
