The assertion is still occasionally heard in the South that Northern editors are disinclined to*, ward the contributions of Southern writers per se. To any one who knows the thoroughly commercial principles that underlie, and, if it is to be successful, must underlie, the publishing business, this needs no comment. It is moreover stated as a fact that Scribner has in its sate enough live material by Southern con tributors to make np tlirec or four numbers of the magazine, and, judg- from the lists of contributors for the last ten years to the other maga zines aud reviews, there is no reason to think this stale ot affairs excep tional. The truth is that good ma terial is in demand from any source, and where MSS. are declined, the reason must be sought for elsewhere than in any sectional prejudice of the editor.

His subject was “Crucifixion and the Jews, or, Did the Jews really crucify Jeeus of Naz areth?” C(.jBnnmi speak of Jesns nounced that should any one feel the least fear of getting their religious feelings hurt, or of getting tired of bis lecture, they were welcome to go home without disturbing him in the least. The Doctor placed himself for the time on the Christian platform, and accepting tlr. Gospel as his book, he carefully took up passage by pass sage, argued it, and answered the questions at the Kune. He proved that Jesus was a man of noble char acter, a man ot learning, a man of honor, truth aud sincerity; and, after dissecting passage by passage, he argued that Jesus died to save the Jews. When he told Peter not to draw his sword in his defense, it was be cause he knew that there were in Je rusalem thousands of Jews who wuttld follow Peter’s example. This would be insurrection, and would bring on war between the Jews aud Romans, and what were the former against the mighty armies of the latter ? Such a war would cause the slaughter -of tens of thousands of innocent women and children. No; he would sur render, and thus give up his life to save his people. Next, the lecturer took up the case of Judas and argued that he was not a traitor. The lecturer’s version pt the matter was that Judas wanted to save Jt sus from tl.e fury ot the mob that was seeking to destroy him. Hence he consented to place Jesus in the hands of the priests, who,' he thought, were able to keep t him safe and would do so. They, however proved treacherous* and allowed DESIGN OF SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS. Atlanta Cor, N.O. Times. , I met Colonel A. L.

We give below an extract from Ex 1 president Davis’s history, which will show the temi>er that was and still is in the gallant old chief who will not call it the lost cause. Here is the ex tract : Aad although the confederacy as an organization may have ceased to exist as unquestionably as though it had never been formed, the fundamental principles, the eternal truths uttered when our colonies iu 1776 declared their independence, on which the con federation of 1781 and the uniun of 1788 were formed, and which animat ed and guided in tbe organization (of the confederacy in 1861, yet live and will survive, however crushed they may be by despotic force, however deep they may be buried under the debris of crumbling states ; however they may be disavowed by tbe time serving and faint-hearted ; yet I be lieve they have tbe eternity of truth, and that in God’s appointed lime anil place they will prevail. The contest is not over, the strife not ended. It is only entered on a new and enlarged arena. The cham pions of constitutional liberty must spring to the struggle, like the armed men from the d eteminaled d agon’s The South should lay politics aside and go into something that there is more money in.■^-Darien Gazette.

Considering the character of the Ciucinuati papers this • right. A small boy went to see his grands mother. After looking eagerly around tbe bandsomely-furnisbed room where she sat, be exclaimed, inquiringly, “Oh, grandmamma, where is the miserable table papa says you keep ?” Joaquin Miller—“How would a lecture by ine, on Mount Shasta, suit the citizens of Boston ?” “Very well, exceedingly well' They would be much better satisfied to have you lecture on Mount Shasta than in B*os- too.” “Ilow things do grow this weath er,” said tbe deacon to Brother Amos. “Yes they do,” replied the brolher. ' “Last night I heard you say you caught forty fish, and this morning I heard you tell Mr. Smith it was one hundred and torty,” “The Germans are a frugal peo ple,” says an American writer, after visiting the Berlin opera house. “As soon as the opera was over, the man iu front took wads of cotton from 'Bis pocket and stopped up his ears to invited to do so, and I think that in all probability he will be appealed to in this matter. Governor Bullock, you know, can cluster about him more republicans than any other member of the party iu the state, and, in addition to this, he can control the votes of a good many of his democratic friends, as he is quite popular with large num. bera of the voters ot Georgia, wljo are classed with the disaffected element ol the democratic parly.*, ‘In what way,’ I asked, ‘will be the movement of the republican party with reference to national politics?’ •Well,’ said Col. Harris, ‘the time is nearly too far off' to coujecture as to this, but from tbe indications at pres ent I should say that there will be a republican candidate for congress in very nearly, if not iu every, congres sional district in tbe state, and in some of them, I think, the republican candi dates can be elected, as you can easily see that there is a tendency iu certain circles of the democratic party to sup port the adminislrat on.’ ‘Will the administration, scud money into Georgia to be used in the next national contest ?’ “I hardly think that they will. You seej have studied the situation pretty thoroughly, and think that I know what the policy of the party will be. It is my impression that, the republicans of the north will do every. thing within their power to keep the south solid, so as to use the ‘solid south’ as a campaign argument. I was up on the Erie railroad during the last presidential campaign, and heard a man make a speech for Garfield. During his argument he said that Bob Toombs, iu a speech said that lie hoped to see tbe day when he could call the roll of his slaves at the foot of Bunker Hill. Tbe speaker then con tinued his argument by saying that if Hancock and English were elected that Bob Toombs would call the roll of his slaves at the doors of the Unit ed States Treasury, and that the ‘sol- ,uLsouth’ would'ruin r thw -HwDfc-’W' 1 payiug off the slaveholders for the losses whicli they sustained when the slaves were given their freedom.’ ‘So you think that the republicans of the North want the south to re main solid.’ ‘Certainly, I do. Frye’s speech shows that. He expresses the views of the northern republicans, and you will see that I am right when the time comes.’ ‘There was a good deal of bun- comb iu Fry’s speech, was there not ?’ I a.-ked. - ‘Of course there was.

We have laid aside our swords; we have ceased onr hos tility; we have conceded the physical strength of the northern state* But the question still lives, and all nations and people that adopt a confederated agent of government will become champions of our cause. While con templating the northern states—with their federal constitution gone, ruth letsljr destroyed under the tryant’s plea of necessity, their state sover eignty made a by-word, and their people absorbed in an mass, no longer as their fathers left them, protected by reserved rights against, usurpation—the question naturally arises: On which side was the victory ?

Waking to Find Ills Wife a Corpse. Clnttanooga Times. On Wednesday night Mr. and Mrs. James Milliken, living near the Roane Iron Works, retired for the night in , r ood spirits and health. Mr. Milli ken is a workman at the rolling mill, and when the whistle blew at 3 o’clock yesterday morning, he as usual arose and built the fire for bis wife to cook breakfast preparatory to engag- ig in the labor of the day. He called her name, but received no rex sponse, again he called, and the echo repeated his words as if in mockery. Drawing nearer he laid his hands upon and tried by shaking to recall her to wakefullness, but his efforts were in vain. The little infant, encircled by the arm of its mother, cooed as it sucked the patent’s breast. The husband became alarmed, procured a lamp, and bending once more over the form of his beloved wife, found her cold and stiff in death from the effects of heart disease, with which she wax known to be afflicted. What a sad awakening from tha sweet repose of sleep to find the one most highly prized, most dearly beloved, stricken down by death at .his side.

J. Q. Wilson to send out a large force to capture the same train. For the protection of my fam ily I traveled with them two or three days, when, believing that they had n sed out of the region of marauders, etermined to leave their encamp ment at nightfall to execute my orig inal purpose. My horse and those of my party proper were saddled pre paratory to a start, when one of my staffi who bad ridden into the neigh boring village, returned and told me he had heard that at marauding party in>.ended to attack the camp that uigbt. This decided me to wait long enough to see whether there was any truth in the rumor, which I supposed would be ascertained in a few liou-s. My horse remained saddled and my pistols in the holsters, and I lay down fully dressed, to rest. Nothing oc curred to rouse mo until just before daw’n, when ray coachman, a free colored man, who faithfully clung to our fortunes, came and told me there was firing over the branch, just be- hiud our encampment. I stepped out of my wife’s tent and saw some horsemen whom I immediately recog nized as cavalry deploying around the encampment. I turned back and told my wife these were uot the ex pected marauders, but regular troop ers. She implored me to leave her at once. I hesitated, from unwilling- nesa to do so, and lost a few precious moments betore yielding to her im portunity. My horse aud arms were near the road on whicli I expected to leave, and dawn which the cavalry approached; it was therefore, imprac ticable to reach them. I was com pelled to start in the opposite direc tion. As it was quite dark iu the tent, I picked up what was supposed to be my “raglan,” a waterproof, light overcoat, with sleeves; it was qqnt|y finmd to be mv wife’sso tSreifty tfo imtoTbr ’ wrattEen 1 for it. As l started ray wife thought fully threw over my head and shoul ders a shawl. I had gone perhaps fifteen or twenty yards when a troop er galloped up and ordered me to surrender, to which I gave a defiant answer, and, dropping the shawl and raglan from my shoulders, advanced toward him. He leveled his car bine at me, but I expected if be fired he would miss me, and my intention was in that event to put my hand un der his foot, tumble him off on the other side, spring into tbe saddle and attempt to escape. My wife, who had been watching, when she saw the soldier aim his carbine at me, ran for ward and threw her arms around me. Success depended on instantaneous action, and, recognizing that the op portunity had been lost, I turned back, and, the morning being damp aud chilly, passed on to a fire beyond the tent. Our pursuers had taken differeut roads and approached our camp from opposite directions; they encountered each other and com menced firing. Both supposed they had met our armed escort, and some casualties resulted from their con flict with an imaginary body of con federate troops. During the confu sion while attention was concentrat ed upon mystlf, except by those who were engaged in pillage, one of my aids, Col. J. Taylor W£ood, with Lieu tenant Barnwell, walked off unob served. His daring exploits on tbe sea had made him on tbe part of the Federal government au object of special hos tility and rendered it quite proper that be should avail himself of every possible means of escape.

At a recent half-yearly rent-day dinner in England tbe tenants of a certain peer were intensely disgusted to find that they were being regaled on tinned beef and mutton. One of the farmers declared that such mean ness would make the old lord turn in his grave. A recent visitor at Cologne asked what the curious figures on some beautiful carved oak stalls depicted, whereupon the guide, evidently rather proud of his English, replied: “Oh, Mr. Simpson.” Further questioning elicited that they meant Samson and Delilah. A London paper says that Ameri can agriculturists are well enabled to compete with the British fairer when the rate of freight on wheat from New York to Liverpool is 81:20 per ton, while the railroad rate from Liverpool to Birmingham (about 100 miles) is $3.15 per ton. “Now "I’ve fixed you,” said Jim Hogan tc his wile," at Monticello, O.

A Washington girl has highly in teresting hair. Its color used to be a light blonde. Dr. D. W.

He subsequently claimed credit, in a conversation with me, for the forbearance shown by his men in not shooting qio when I refused to surrender. Wilson and others have uttered many falsehoods in regard to my cap ture, whicli have been exposed in publications by persons there present —by Secretary Reagan, by the mem bers of my.personal staff and by the colored coachman, Jim Jones, which must have been convincing to ell who were not given to beliuve a lie. For this reason I will postpone to some other time and more appropriate place any further notice of the story and its variations, all the spawn of a mat- ‘ uity that shames the civilization of e age.

WHERE THE SOUTHERN FARMER’S MONEY GOES. *g < Valley Cotton Planters’ Association in Memphis last week there were some interesting and suggestive statements made by some of the speakers. Mr, F. C. Morebead, President of the as sociation, estimated the amount of grain consumed in the cotton states in excess ot production to be as follows: Wheat, bushels. 42,252,244 Corn, bnahels 166,684,229 Oats, bushels 77,762,108 Total bushels of grain 286,698,581 Tons of hsy 4,011,150 This enormous amount of grain is paid for out of the cotton crop, as those states produce little else for sale. As the cotton crop of even such a year as last only reaches a fraction above 6,000,000 bales, worth in round num bers about fitly dollars per bale, it will be seen at a glance where the most of the money realized from it must go. Such a deficiency of grain, Mr. More- head remarked, meant ‘nothing but the direst poverty so loner as it exists.’ While the speaker no doubt ^overesti mated the deficiency of grain in the South, he shadowed forth a great truth which merits the closest conxid> oration of Southern farmers and plan ters. • '* * • • • —•••: i (1 ATLANTA’S CANAM , * , Augusta News. 1 The writer hereof was told by Gen.
