United effort is essential in every im
portant public enterpize. It builds
railroads, manufactories, churches,
schools, colleges, and in fact every
thing which tends to make a country
prosperous and great. W'liat no indi
vidual offort, nor the combined efforts
of a few can accomplish, may easily
be accomplished by the combination or
the many. This is said to bo the se
cret of the success of the people ol
the New England States. Men of
comparatively small means unite in
manufacturing enterprises, put forth
their united skill and energy, and suc
cess and prosperity arc the result. Is
not their example in this respect
worthy of our imitation ? Why should
those who have a little surplus capital
invest it in lands to lie idle, to be half
cultivated, while investments in man
ufactories would yield them much
larger profits ; and, at the same time,
build up the country and promote the
general good ? Would it not be good
policy for every one who can raise a
few hundred or a few thousand dol
lars, by even selling a part of liis un
cultivated lands if necessary, to uuite
with others and build a cotton facto
ry in our midst ? What new life and
energy might thus be imparted to out
growing town and favored country ;
and what pleasant music would be the
buzz of its thousand wheels!

Meeting at S*i»© Lag.
We, “ big Sam” and I, attended
Pine Log Church, on last Friday, ba
the purposo of assisting for a few days
in a revival which had been progress
ing there for several days. We ar
rived at the Church just in time to
witness the closing exercises of the
Friday morning’s service, and appoint
ed a meeting for the afternoon, at
night, at which time there was a large
congregation in attendance and a
considerable amount of interest mani
fested. Services were appointed for
the following day, but the rain pre
vented us from attending the meeting
any further. This we regretted very
much, as much good seed which had
just been sown at Pine Log, was ger
minating and roadv to spring forth
and produce abundant fruit, we
have no doubt, if a little more judi
cious labor could have boon bestowed
at tho light time. We trust that the
'* set time to favor Zion” at that high ■ 1
ly favored place may vet come, at no
distant day. While in the neighbor- ;
hood, we woro the guests of our clever j
and hospitable friend, F. A. Weems j
and enjoyed ourselves finely, in various !
ways, especially in eating fruit and
o. her good things. Our “ fellow-sar
inut." can testify to the fact that friend
Weems has good peaches. Long may
he wave ! and Ills peach trees too ! On
our return home, wo culled on our
ostoemod frionJ, Dr. Felton, at his
pleasant rural home, and spent an
Lmwr or two very pleasantly. Such
trips and such visits are verdant spots
along tho dreary way of life, and we
hope to enjoy many such before our
pilgrimage shall cease.
Too Fast. A certain pious lady
was expecting a visit from her
and wishing her little son to make a
favorable impression on the occasion,
she said to him: “Now, Frankey,
when the minister comes he will prob
ably take you into his lap and say,
‘my little sonny, you arc a fine fellow.
How old old are you ?' thou you must
say,‘four in jline.’ ‘Who made you?’
you must answer, ‘God.’ ‘Of what did
he make you ?’ ‘you must say,’ ‘dust.’ ”
Sure enough, the minister come, took
the little fellow up, and began the ex
amination by saying, “how old are
you, ray little son?” Frankey bright
ened up, and exclaimed, “four in
June—God - dust.”
Frecdmesi mid Army Guns,
It seems that overy ffeedman in the
land is in possession of an army gun ;
and being in many instances very ig
norant a» and depraved, they often abuse
the cherished right to “bear arms,” and
great mischief is the result. It not
_nnfretjiumt!y happens that they go for
large game., as was tho case near here
a few days ago, when Allen Young
poured something like a handful of
shot into his wife, and another freod
mun, “justfor meanness,” as he after
wards confessed. Our colored fricuds
. ought to bo taught when to shoot,
% 'honi to shoot, as well as how to shoot;
and to atop this indiscriminate shoot
ing just to keep in practice. The ax*
and hoe are “ mighty good weapomf
and if skillfully used, will pay much
better in the “ long run,” iu the ma
jority of cases.
SxT Knoxville is vigorously pushing

Original Humor.
A. certain little boy was listening,
; with much interest, to a mocking-bird,
the other day, and not being able to
understand the abrupt suutches and
variegated notes of the little warbler,
ran to the house and with a look of
wonder exclaimed, “Ma, there is a
little bird out yonder that don’t know
what it wants to sing !”
The same little ft llow looked up lo
the sky, the other evening, and dryly
rt mai kid, “ Yonder is a piece of a
moon !”
A Fi ll Dose. —We once prescribed
a d< so of salts to a darkey who com -
plained of fcc-lii g unwell. A few days
after, we enquired if he was better
“ O, yes,” said he ; “ I feel a heap bet
tor I” “ Did you take the salts?’’
“ Yes, sah ; I took ’urn.” “ How much
did you take?” “I took a tea-cup
most fuil, and dey made me so sick I
thought I would dio ’fore I git well!’
Just boforo the great secession ex
citement commenced, we met an illit
erate friend who considered himself
posted in regard to political as well as
other matters, and asked him the
news. “ Well,” said ho, “ I haven’t
much, only there is a talk of the State
succeeding, tmt I don’t think she will
succeed, if Congress will oppeal the
fugylive slave law, and I think she’ll
do that!” And sure enough we didn’t
succeed !
Repented the Jos. Scene in a
school room— ‘ Come up here, Willie,”
said a lady teacher. “Now tell me
who made the universe ?” Willie was
silent. “Tell me, I say, who made
ti e universe?” Still there was no re
sponse. “I’ll make you tell me sir,
when my switch comes!” “Well/
exclaimed Willie, in a piteous tone*
‘ Idid, bid I won't do it any more.”
Tlic SLitc Railroad Muddle.
Yesterday our city wr.s in a state of,
feverish excitement in regard to the
State Railroad troubles, and rumors
wero iu circulation from morning till
night. We interviewed several ‘par
ties during the day, but were unable
to learn up to a very late hour last
night that anything<defiuite had been
accomplished. Iu accordance with
tho instructions he had received, Col.
Blodgett discharged Messrs, McCalla,
Hotchkiss and I. P. Harris from his
employment, and also demanded the
books of the road which were in Mc-
Culla’s possession, but the latter re
fused to surrender the books, alleging
as an excuse that, if delivered, the
books would be mutilated and defaced.
Col. Blodgett, we are informed, de
manded that the books should be
placed in the hands of the Attorney
General, Col. H. P. Furrow. At a late
hour last night the books were in Mc-
Calla’s room, and the room was uuder
guard.
Warrants have been issued for the
arrest of two of the officers who were
down the road, but they have not ar
rived. W e were also informed that j
other p rties would be arrested.
The above is all that we could gut h- |
er that we considered reliable. Our.
object lias been to give nothing but
facts which could bo relied upon in !
our report of these matters. We shad, :
as heretofore, give impartially the I
facts as reported to us, without fear j
ami without expectation of favor.
There were many other rumors in
circulation, but as we could trace them
to no reliable source we refrain from
publishing them.— Atlanta Era, 2 6th.
—
The two Schemers.
There was once a crab who was very
cunning in setting traps. He used to
bury himself in the mud, just under a
nice piece of a clam or oyster; and
when the silly fish came to make a din
ner of this daiuty morsel he would
catch him iu his claws and eat him.—
He pretended to have a good deal of
honor though. Ho was, indeed, quite
a pious crab, himself being judge.—
When he had caught a fish by cun
ning, he used to say, “Poor little fel
low! ’tis his own fault, not mine. He
should have kept out of the trap. If
one don’t know- enough to keep out of
my claws, he ought to be caught.—
Poor fellow ! I’m sorry for fiim; but I
don’t see how- it can be helped.” This
you see was very comforting to the
crab, though it didn’t help the case of
the poor perch. It was, in fact, in
tended for the advantage of the crab,
and for nobody else. That was the
way he took to quiet his conscience,
and to excuse his conduct to others,
when they complained of it.
An old fox happened, one day, to be
walking near the sea shore, soon after
the crab had caught a nice fish by his
cunning. Now foxy was a schemer
too. Ho was indeed, a schemer by j
trade; and no sooner had he seen the |
crab’s exploit, and heard the rather
ludicrous apology which he made for j
it than ho sot his own cunning at '
work to outwit tho crab. “Let’s see,” |
said lie, “how shall I mauage that
thing ?” And ho pondered the mat- !
ter over for some minutes. “Ah 1” he
exclaimed, at length, “I have it I” and
immediately he went to work to put his
plan in execution. He went down to
the sea shore, one day, and thrust liis
lung bushy tail into the edgo of the
water, ihe crab presuming he had
got another dinner by his wit, seized
tho fox’s tail by his claws. But the
fox, giving a sudden spring, brought
the crab out of the w-ater, and imme
diately prepared to make a meal of
him. At this act of treachery his
crabship complained bitterly. He ac
cused Ihe fox of being a deceitful fel
low, and a murderer to boot.
"Btop, ’ bald Reynard. “Not lo
i fast. I have only acted according to
your own rule. If one does not know
i enough to keep away from such a pnl
, try trap as a fox’s tail, he might to be
caught. It is indeed the same thing
as if he caught himself.”
“Ah,” said the crab, with a deep
sigh, “I id; de that rule for others, and
not for myself.* I see now that time's
a flaw in it”
Mother.
Around the idea of one’s mother (he
mind of mind dings with fond nff«*c
tion. It is the first dear thought
stamped upon onr infant hearts, when
yet toft and capable of receiving the
most profound impressions; and all
the after feelings are more or less in
comparison. Our passions and our
wilfulnesss may lead us far from the
object of our filial love; we may become
wild, headstrong and angry at her
counsels or opposition; but when
death has stilled her monitory voice,
and nothing but calm memory re
mains to recapitulate her virtue and
her deeds, affections, like a llower
beaten to the ground by a rude storm,
raises up her head and smiles amid
her tears. Round that idea, as we
have said, the mind clings with fond
affection; and ever when the earliest
period of our loss forces memory to be
silent, fancy takes the place of remem
brance, and twines the imago of oui
departed parent with a garland of
graces and beauties and vinues, which
wo doubt not she possessed.
A Woman Scalpe x —At the Elgin,
111. Watch works, a few days ago, a
young lady operative in the establish
ment, while attending to some ’of her
duties, had her hair caught in an
over-hanging pulley, which pulled her
to the top of the room with great
force, and while in this terrible atti
tude her scalp from the eye-brows back
to the back of her neck, was torn com
pletely off. She was immediately car
ed for, and after seven hours’ time the
scalp was rq 1 .ced upon her head .Ithas
every appearance of growing back, and
lemuius in a healthful condition. The
poor girl suffers but little, sleeps well,
talks freely, and has great confidence
in her future recovery, If she does,

cases of tho kind on record.
A Free Fight with Bloody Results.
Louisville. August 18.—A fight oc
cured at Crab Orchard, Kentucky,
Wednesday evening, between George
Dallinger and Wado Kennedy, iu
which one shot was fired, but the par
ties were separated without serious
injury. Last night two friends of
Kennedy, one named George Best,
met Dallinger at the Harden House,
at Crab Orchard, and a fight ensued,
revolvers being used freely. Dallin
ger was mortally wounded and instant
ly died. Frank Smith, who was only
a spectator of the affray, received two
shots aud was instantly killed, and
Best was severely wounded. The fight
was the result of an old feud. Ken
nedy was a reckless man, and is said
to have heretofore killed two men in
personal encounters. Dallinger was
wat'-himm at Ciab Orchard, and gen
erally respected.
A stranger went to church at
Middletown, Connecticut!, on a Sun
day recently, and sat down in a pew,
when just as he was g< tiing interested
in the sermon, a rough looking, pious
church member c one in and took him
by the collar, and. threw him into the
vestibule. He thought he would stay
there and hear the rest of the sermon,
when the sexton kicked him off the
steps. He went to the side of the
church to listen to the sermon through
the window, when one of the members
said “ Arntii” to something the minis
ter said, and then spit tobacco juice
out of the window into tho listener’s
eyes. Ho says a man can’t enjoy
much religion at Middletown.— Vir
