JACKSON’S, CUTHBERT, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1871. The Captain’s Wife. The wind wu blowing np from the west, On the eve of a stormy day. And she saw the ship that she loved best Veering across the bay. The sails were ragged, and old, and worn, And they flapped to and fro In tbe blast Like the wings of a spent and wounded bird, When the foot of tbe hunter bath passed, And it’s, O ship J brave ship! safe may your voyage be ; Audit's oh! for the dawn of tomorrow’s morn 1 and its oh! lor a rippling sea! The wiud-bad jobbed itself to rest. Like a weary i Way ward child ; And she lay with her babe asleep on her breast, And dreamed of the ship and smiled. She smiled as she thought, iu her happy sleep, _ That the long, long parting was oe'r ; But she did not hear how tbe storm awoke, And tbe breakers dashed on the shore. And its, O ship! brave ship ! she could not sleep it she Had dreamt of tbe crash, and had seen tbe flash which lighted the boiling sea. She did not wake, though the wind was high, But turned in her dream with a start, And her sleeping lips framed the well-known cry, Which dropped from the full, full heart, As watea falls tram a shaken cup, Suddenly over the brim : Lord, keep my captain safe to-nigbt, And all at sea with him ; ’’ And it’s, O ship, brave ship! but where will your captain be ? And its oh 1 it was well their was none to tell—it was well there was none to see! They are striving now to reach the shore, The captain and all bis men; And still that fond prayer is murmured o’er Again, aud again, and again. The waves are high, the rocks are hid, Apd nepe can see the land ; But the captain stands himself at the helm, And steers with a steady hand. And its, 0 ship! brave ship! and how cap it ever be, That you clear the rocks and weather the shocks of that tearing, roaring s-a ? The night is dark, the storm is high, But the ship lies safe In the creek, And the captain stands witb a light in bis eye, And a flush in his son browned cheek. And the captain’s wife sleeps sound aud still. Through tbe wild and angry blast, For the morn shall rise on a peaceful bay, And her captain home at last. And its, O ship! brave ship! brave and strong you may be, But was it your strength that saved you at length from the might of the crue sea ? Hiring Other People’s Laborers. The following decision of the Su preme Court, is of general interest to planters, and we coinmend it to their attention: S. P. Salter vs. John Howard.— Case from Houston. Lociiuane, J.—Where A sued B to recover damages for the eutice ment and employment by B of ser vants on the plantation of A. which he alleges were hired by him for the year 1866, and a motion was made for a non-snit by defendant, on the ground that the proof failed to show a valid and mutually bind ing contract between betwen A and the servants ; the fact being that A and such servants had entered into a written contract, but which had not been signed or approved by tbe Freedmeu’s Bureau, though con templated that it should be so sub mitted for approval by the parties thereto, but the servants had gone on under the contract, and were at work at A’s plantation, and had been there nearly a month, and the court ordered the non suit. Held, That this was not an error by the court. After the emancipa tion of slaves in Georgia, they were competent to contract for tbeir la bor, and while in the employment of one under a contract it was ille gal for any other person to inter fere and hire them, and such per son cannot under our laws defend himself against the wrong, by set ting questions arising on the con tract of such servants by A. Held, Again, where upon the trial for enticement of servants from the employment of another, the permitted evidence of consequen tial damage to go to the jury, to the effect that the servants he first employed had provisions, and those he subsequently employed to take their place had* not, by which he was compelled to furnish provisions, and making a poor crop, such per sons were uuable to pay him for the provisions furnished out of their share of the crop, by which he was damaged, that this was er ror ; the damage the law recognizes as legal to be recovered upon such action, an actual damage sustained by the act at the time of its com mission, and the expense and true loss in getting other servants, or injuries to the crop by interruption of the labor thereon, or failure to obtain other labor alter faithful ef fort to do so, or losses of like char acter, are proper and legal for the consideration of the jury. Held, The court erred in refus ing a new’ trial upon the admission of illegal evidence, which misled thejuryonthe question of dam ages under the facts in this case. Poe, Hall & Poe, S. D. Killen, for plaintiff in error; A. S. Giles, Nisbet & Jackson, contra. The cost of building the Mont Uenis tunnel, all expenses included, amounts to 45,600,000 francs.

The forthcoming annual Fair of Georgia State Agricultural Society, to commence in this city on Mon day, October 23rd, 1871, and con tinue through the entire week, is eliciting, as it should, the interest and attention of all classes of our citizens. All that capital combined with assiduous labor and refined art, could do toward making this .mammoth enterprise a grand suc cess has been done. Tbe people of Georgia as one person have united in tbe accomplishment of this no ble work, and from a wild waste of unsightly swamps and fields, there has arisen, almost imperceptibly as if by magic, the most elaborately constructed buildings of imposing appearance; beautifully adorned grounds; gently undulating walks ; luxurious drives beneath a canopy of umbrageous monarchs of tbe for est ; inviting retreats and murmur ing fountains, whoso silvery spray beat time to the music of sweetly carolling songsters of the grove. Leaving the shores of the spa cious Grounds, rolls proud old Oc mulgee in all the magnificence of her grandeur, as if to lend enchant ment to tlie fairy like scene. It has been the studied purpose of the projectors of this great scheme, to make it worthy the im portant consideration of everybody at all interested in the well being of not only oar own State and section, but of the whole country. With no narrow-minded bigotry fetter ing the minds of those who have this public enterprise in hand, the Georgia State Fair has been thrown open to the whole world of mechan ics, agriculture, science and art, and within its portals -all, without reserve and without price, are invi ted to come and share alike in the advantages offered. Inasmuch as curiosity has been universally excited in regard to our forthcoming exposition, we deem it not inappropriate to lay before our distant readers a description of the grounds and buildings where it is proposed to hold it, and without fear of contradiction, we do assert there is no other location in the world so well adapted by nature for the purpose. “TITE grand ENTRANCE.” Presents a facade of one hundred feet, striking in conception, and bold in outline. The design is ir regular, with the principal or “car riage gate,” in the centre twenty feet wide, flanked on each side by lofty towers, rising to a height of sixty feet, and terminating in a curved roof. A massive semicir cled arch connects these towers to gether over the entrance, handsome ly decorated with panels, cornices, brackets, spandrels, «fcc., while from the apex of the arch, rise a beauti ful flag-staff. The small gates for the use of “pedestrians,” are seven feet wide, placed one on either side of the “carriage gate,” and at the base of the towers, through which an arch-way is formed. Adjoining these are two large offices, each six teen by twenty-four feet, and a se ries of smaller ones for ticket of fices, «fcc. The design of the tow ers is square, and the elevation of each side, are alike, through the lower section. The lower sections are crowned with a projecting cor nice, supported on heavy brackets while at the base of the lower sec tion, large brackets seem to act as a kind of flying buttress, against the pilasters upon the corners, ter minating in brackets again at the top, and finally crowned with a cornice. In a panel over the car nage gate at the top, will be the date, 1871, and just beneath it, “Central City Park,” while in a pannel on the towers over each small gate, are the mottos, Science, Art, and immediately in the centre over the entrance Agriculture. These central towers, standing like “giant sentinels” over the en trance to the “elysian groves,” give increased dignity to the design, and so diversifies its outline, that when viewed so far distant, as to take the whole of the figure in the eye at one coup d’seil, presents a picture rare and faultless, and a structure both “grand” and appropriate. The first building upon the right after entering, is the “machinery hall,” Which is a single story building, 210 feet long, and 50 feet wide, erected upon a solid foundation of brick, and substantially constructed throughout. It is well lighted by glass windows, and amply provided with doors of large dimensions. The building is covered in the perpen dicular style, having projecting cor nices and ornamented gables, which give it a really fine appearance, though of less pretension than some of its neighbors. A line of shafting will extend the whole length, with all nocessary pulleys and engines to drive it, ready for the use of ex hibiters. The next building is the “dining hall,” Also a single story building 150 feet long, and 50 feet wide, and 18 feet bigli. This structure is also intended for a “dancing hall,” And has a smoothly dressed floor, and a clear story. Splendid prep arations for light and ventillations are made, and an elevated gallery for the orchestra. Tbe external covering is in the perpendicular style, and the cor nices of the eaves and gables, quite ornamental. All the doors and win dows will be protected on the ex terior, by hanging hoods and cano pies, adding, not only to the com fort, but to the architectural beau ty. Commodious kitchens will be built adjoining, and all things nec essary for a Grand Dining, or Ban quet Hall. Near one end, is erect ed a “Ladies Cottage” containing two rooms each 14x18 feet, with Hall between, and a commodious toilet or bourdoir. It is built in the poined style, having ornament ed gables, terminating across the front, completes the description, and a more cosy retreat can scarce ly imagined, as it seems to nestle down beneath the branches of the sturdy oaks that surround it. Passing on, and discovering a little to the right, we come upon the Saloon. A building 35 by 65 feet, standing out conspicu ously, yet boautiful in its ontline, quite ornate in its construction, and much admired. Like the oth ers, it is covered in the perpendic ular style, having overyhauging hoods over doors and windows, and ornamented gables, and the whole artistecally painted in parti colors. We now come to the “Floral Hall,” a building quite irregular in its plan, with a dimension over all, of 188 feet by 72 .feet, two and three stories high. Tbe principal facade is 164 feet, and is sufficient ly modest for a private dwelling, yet bold and striking in outline. — Forty-four feet in the centre, pro jects twelve feet, and 6 double story portico extends across it. Tills central building is three stories high, and the upper story is lighted from the roof, and designed for a picture gallery. On each rear cor ner is erected pavilions 24 feet square projecting ten feet each way beyond the main building, and car ried up three stories high having fiat roofs, accessible by easy stairs, and protected by high ballustrade. The rear facade facing the race track is 188 feet, 140 feet of which, is a veranda nine feet wide in each story, affording most excellent ac commodations for promenade, and to witness the races, from which point, every foot of the track can be seen. Four flights of stairs con ducts to the second story, being wide and easy. An open corridor extends through each floor, protect ed by railing, etc. The outside covering is in the perpendicular style, joints battened, the balconies and cornices bracketted. This building occupies a ceutral position upon the ground, and from its bal conies, verandas and pavillions, can be seen every object of inter est. the “main hall” Is a building 250x40 feet, two and three stories high, with a four-foot balcony extending around the en tire building at each story, afford ing a most delightful promenade, and rare landscape views. This building is covered like those be fore described, and is very taste fully decorated with cornices by tracery, balcony-hangings, and mold ed belts. An open corridor extends through the centre building, which is three stories high. Wide and commodious stairways are provi ded in every pait, and the means of ingress and egress are quite am ple. Directly-in front of the right wing of the “Main Hall,” is the counterpart of the “ladie’s cottage,” Being the “Head Quarters” of the President and Executive Commit tee, and like that, it is built in the pointed style, and handsomely decorated rooms. It contains three rooms each 16x18 feet, a wash room, and hall. THE “MUSIC PAVILLION” Occupying a central position be tween “Main Hall” and the “Floral Hall,” is a hexagon in design, suffi ciently large to accommodate from foity to fifty performers. The floor is elevated seven feet above the ground, and with a clear story above of 16 feet. The roof has a projection of thfee feet, supported by brackets disposed at the angles, anti ornamented with sawed tracer- T Y- The roof curves upward, support ing a dome ten feet in diameter, crowned with a lantern and golden harp seven feet high. From the floor to the ground is a heavy moul ded base, having three feet projec* tion. Steps leading to the plat form, and railing all around, com pletes this temple of Appolo, and it is believed the most beautiful in the Sonth. The “Grand Stand, or Amphithe atre,” is 300 feet long by 35 feet wide, two stories high, very sub stantially built, and will accommo date about 6000 people. It will be fully provided with settees, and specially arranged for comfort and safety. The foundations are of brick-masonry, very heavy; the roof covered with shingles, and cor nices upon the front of an elaborate pattom. —Macon Citizen. Wine-drinking and Intempeß ance. —The idea that cheap wine is favorable to temperance is doubt ed by Dr. N. C. Burt from his ex perience in the grape-growing coun tries of Southern Europe. He says: “In Switzerland, and still more in Germany, aud most of all in France, and portions of Italy, the wine-growing regions, the use of distilled liquors has become fear fully prevalent and excessive.” Conqnest of America—H. G. in the White House and After. The following is supposed to have been written in 1892 by Max Adeler, who Avas a witness of the terrible scenes which occurred at the time of which the Story tells.- The English satire, “The Battle of Dorking,” supplied the suggestion for this prophetic tale : THE CONQUEST Os AMERICA. Yon ask me to toll you. my chil dren, of the events which immedi ately preceded the destruction of the once great American Union, and the capture of the conn try by the present European rulers, and to say something also of the cause which led to these deplorable re sults. In the fall of 1872 Horace Gree ley, the editor of a newspaper in New York, was elected President of the United States. The people voted for him because they thought he was an honest man. And so he was. But he was also vain and weak, and he entertained certain fanatical and preposterous notions— about agricultural matters, for iii stance —which he was determined to force upon the people at all haz ards, and despite all opposition.— He believed, among other things, that every man ought to go to the West to earn his bread, and long before he was chosen President he used to advise everybody to move to that region, as a cure for all the disasters that could befall the hu man family. DRIVING THE SEABOARD POI*ULA' TION WEST. As soon os he reached the Exec utive Mansion, which we used to call the White House, President Greeley organized an array of 200,- 000 men, and proceeded to force the entire population of the sea board States westward at the point of the bayonet. The utmost vio lence was used. Those who resist ed were shot down and their dead bodies were carried off to a nation al factory which the President had established for making some kind of fantastical fertilizer. All the large cities of the East were depop ulated, and the towns were entirely empty. ALL EUROPE IN ARMS AGAINST AMER ICA. In the meantime the President was doing infinite harm to the country in another way. His hand writing was so fearfully and won derfully bad that no living man could read it. And so when he sent his first animal message to Congress—the document was de voted wholly to the tariff and agri culture—a sentence appeared which subsequently was ascertained to be “ Large cultivation of rutabagas and beans is the only hope ot the American nation, lam sure.” The printers not being able to interpret this, put it in the following form, in which it went to the world: “ The Czar of Russia couldn’t keep clean if he washed himself with the whole Atlantic ocean once a day !” This perversion of the message was immediately telegraphed to Russia by the Russian minister, and the Czar was so indignant that he im mediately declared war. Just at this time President Gree ley undertook to write some letters to Prince Bismarck upon the sub ject of potato rot, and after giving his singular views at great length he concluded with the statement that if the Emperor William said that subsoil plowing was not good in light soils, or that guano was better than bone dust, he was a “ liar, a villian and a slave !” Ot course the Emperor immediately declared war, and became an ally of Russia and of England, against which latter country Mr. Greeley had actually begun hostilities ready; because the Queert, in her speech from the throne, had de clared the Tribune’s advocacy of a tariff on pig iron incendiary, and calculated to disturb the peace of nations. Unhappily this was not the full measure of our disasters. The President had sent to the Emperor of Austria a copy of his book, “ What I know,” etc., with his au tograph upon a flyleaf. The Em peror mistook the signature for a carricature of the Austrian eagle, and he heartily joined in the war against the United States; while France was provoked to the same act by the fact that when the French Minister came to call upon Mr. Greeley to present his credentials, the President, who was writing an editorial at the time, not compre hending the French language, mis took the ambassador for a beggar, and without looking up handed him a quarter and an order for a clean shirt, and said to him, “ Go West, young man—go West.” PRESIDENT GREELEY AND CABINET HANGED. So all of these nations joined in making war upon the United States. They swooped down upon our coasts and landed without opposi tion, for these exposed portions of our unhappy country were abso lutely deserted. The President was afraid to call away the army to his aid, and it moved to meet the enemy. It was too late. Before the troops reached Cincinnati the foreigners had seized Washington and all the country cast of the Ohio, and had hung the President, the Cabinet, and every member of Congress. UTTER RUIN OF THE REPUBLIC. You know what followed—how Prince Frederick William of Prus sia ascended the American throne, rt —V- n — ; and the other humiliations that en sued. It was a fearful blow to Re publicanism—a blow from which it will nfever recover. It made ws, who were free men, a nation of slaves. It was all the result of our blind confidence in a misguided old man Who thought himself a philos opher, but who was actually a fool. May heaven preserve you, ray chil dren, from the remorse t feel when I remember that I voted for that bucolic old editor. —lndianapolis Metes. From the Han 'sboio Democrat. The Census.

Some of our readers who may be grammarians will be kind enough to tell us, if they can, whethertne plural of a tailors goose is geese or gooses. Some time since a variety merchant m tbe country wished to order from a hardware store in the city something for his tailor cus tomers, and wrote as follows : “ Please send me too ttiUoWf gooses.” , V o. Not liking the grammar, and feae ing his New York friends Would laugh aft. Iri n, he destroyed that or der and wrote: “ Please send me two tailors’ geese.” After the letter was sealed he was troubled in his mind lest they sheafed send him a couple of live geese, pur chased from some tailor, when h@ took the documeut from the post office, destroyed it, aud for two days thought of nothing except hew to word his order so it could be un derstood and according to grammar. At last he gave up in despair, and wrote: ■) “ Please send me one tailor's goose—and, d—u it, send me anoth er one just like it I”— Mjcchange. Mr. Editor: Several of your readers (myself included) having become interested ia the above, re spectfully submit for decision through the columns of your excel lent pajicr as to the plural of a tai lor’s goose. lly so doing, you will much oblige your obedient servant and others. Eureka. We have brought onr vast stores of information to bear upon tbe above goosey question. So far we have consulted only thirteen una bridged dictionaries, encyclopedias, and learned treatises on ornitholo gy. So far we ean only say that the goose hangs high—so high, in deed, that it is beyond onr reach.— Sometimes we believe the plural should be goose and then we don’t. Wc don’t more frequently than w <l do. We will keep our inquiring friends advised of our progress. For Marriageable Girls. If a man wipes his feet on the door-mat, he will make a good hus band. If a man in snuffinig a can dle puts it out, yon may be sure he will make a stupid husband. If a man puts his handkerchief ou bat khce while taking tea, you may be sure he will make a prudent hus band. In the same way always mistrust a man who will not take the last piece of toast, but prefers waiting for the next warm batch, it is likely he will make a greedy and selfish husband, with whom yOt! will enjoy no “brown” at dinner, no erust at tea, and no peace what ever at home. The man, my dears, who wears rubbers, and is carefhl about wrapping himself up before venturing in the night air, not un» freqncntly makes a good invalid husband, that mostly stops at home, and is easily comforted with slops. The man who watches the kettle, and prevents it from boiling over, will not fail, my dears, in his mai - ried state, in exercising the same care in always keeping the pot boil ing. The man who does not tabs tea, ill-treats cats, takes snuff, stands with his back to the fire, is a brute whom I would not advise you, my dears, to marry for aej consideration, either for love or money—but most decidedly not for love. Bub a man who, When tea m over, is discovered to have bad none, is sure to make a good hus band. Patience like his deserves to be rewarded with the best of wives and the best of mothers in law. My dears, when you meet with such a man, do your best to marry him. In the severest winter he would’t mind going to bed first. — Exchange. A Grievous Wrong. —There is tbe soundest common sense iu the following paragraph from the Man ufacturer and Builder: Why is it that there is such a repuguance 011 the part of parent* to putting their sons to a trade? A skilled mechanic is an independent man Go where he will fits craft will bring him support. He need ask favors of none. He bias liter ally his fortune iu his own hands. Yet foolish parents—ambitious that their sons should “rise in thewwtd” as they say—are more willing that they should study for a profession, with the chances of even moderate success heavily against them Or run the ri*k of spending their days in the ignoble task of retailing dry goods or of toiling at she account ft desk, than learn a trade which gH*a them manly strength and independ ence
