THE SEMI-WEEKLY EXPRESS, J - W. Harris, j "• " MlT «» \ Editors and Proprietors. **• H. UR CVIs rUR, j <5A , AUGUST 29, 1871 Uitliy. 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 her wholesale trade into West Virgin- 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, it v ill be one of tho most remarkable 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 ginian. What they Are. Life—A gleam of light distinguished by the grave. Fame—A meteor dazzling with its distant glare. Wealth —A source of trouble and consuming care. Pleasure—A gleam of sunshino pas sing soon away. Lovo—A morning beam whose memory gilds the day. Faith—An anchor dropped beyond the vale of death. Charity—A stream meandering from the fount of love. Bible—A guide to realms of ondless joys above. Religion—A key which opens wide the gates of Heaven.

The offender, who turned out to be a lady wearing the fashionable sailor hat, indignantly exclaimed : “ I am no man, sir !” “ Then,” said his Honor, “ I am no Judge!” M okds are the counters of wise men btiv the money of fools.
