*o, »n 1 whobr*6ke jail, in this place, on tho

near Kingston, on the night of the 30th.—
He had in his possession, it is said, a double
barrelled shot gun and a hatchet. It is fur
ther stated that he had shot at his wife three
times since he broke jail. It seems that he
Is bent on killing his wife, and, perhaps,
others, too. Instead of leaving the country
and fleeing to parts unknown, he went right
bark to the stage of his former bloody tra
gedy, and rearmed himself for the work of
death. It is to be hoped that he will be so
manacled an that his second escape will nev
er be effected. The security of his wife and
the community at large dcinads that this be
done.

An Eltgy on (lie Slain at Alla
toona and Kennesavr,
Let not a voice of man be heard,
No, uofa single human word ;
On Allatoona's lonely height.
Or. Kennesaw, from morn till night,
Ts*t silence reign or nature speak,
For words of man wonld be too weak 1
Let emblem* stand,— and mournful sounds
lie ever heard o’er hallowed grounds,
Where fought and bled our fearless braves,
Who lie around in shallow graves,
Chant, Etowah, forevermore,
A requiem from shore to shore ;
To coves, the echo ever sound,
The everlasting hills around,
And Chattahoochee ever weep,
Hear tears of woe to ocean deep,
Forever let them onward roll,
Till frozen at the Arctic pole,
And rocks of ages never sleep,
But silent vigils ever keep,
Brave old oaks stand sentinel,
Ye stood the fight so firm, so well,
Spread wide your banners, dog-wood* white,
Nor furl them on a starless night,
Sing mournful tunes, sweet mockiqg-bird.
Gay notes w ould shock—should not bo heard,
Sit side by side, with turtle-doVi,
Resound his notes from grove to grove.
Till night comes on, so dark, so still.
Then list to notes of whip-poor-will ;
Bow down, ye slender, moaning pines,
Lie low, yc tender, creeping vines ;
Fall, gentle dews, and moist the sod,
Once drenched by bravest human blood ;
Let wild flowers spring and wave
On ever spot where fell a brave.
There’s land enough, beside, to till,
Oh. let them sleep—that sleep so still
Fall lightly, gently, crab-tree flowers,
And winter snows and summer showers ;
Waft, Southern breezes, e’er perfumed,
O'er heroes, not in earth entombed.
But moulding in the air—profound,
Fit graves for those that ne’er were bound ;
No despot, now, can break their rest.
Whose power to rule they ne’er confess’d ;
They rather chose the King that’s just,
To him they bowed, and bit the dust.
The ground is holy where they lie.
Their monument’s the vaulted sky.
And. there, inscriptions, true and bright.
Forever shine, though hid from sight,
Till viewed by rays of heavenly light,
That ne’er are dimed by shades of night.

AT THE CROSS.
Before Tby Cross, dear Lord, I fall ;
Out of the depths to Thee I call—
Thou art my Hope, my Help, my All.
Search, search my heart, surcharged with
woe,
’Till all itH idols it forego,
And Thee, Thee only, learn to know.
A thorny path, with flints bespread,
With bleeding feet I fearless tread,
For Thy dear hand upholds my head.
Oh ! dearest Lord ! Thy tender eyo
Rebukes, yet pities my lone cry,
When struggling ’neath my cross I lie.
The broken cisterns who shall count,
The heart will fill at earth’s dark fount,
Ere upward unto God it mounts ?
Poor human heart, with human needs,
How many are its broken reeds!
Grasped till the band in torture bleeds.
How many gourds have felt the blight?
How many stars have lost tlioir light ?
How many suns gone down in night?
All, all are gone, like barks at sea,
Lost in the dread immensity,
And now I stand alone with Thee.
All prostrate at Thy cross I kneel,
For Thou canst all our sorrows feel;
And Thy dear hand our wounds can heal.
No more I mark the dreary road.
My bleeding feet so long have trod,
Since it hath led to Thee, my God.
“The Better Country.’*
Wbero is there a man who ia satis
fied with the country where he dwells,
and who docs not, sometimes, at least,
imagine that he could find a better.
Man is disquieted everywhere on earth,
and sighs for something better than
this world can give. There is no fa
vored spot where the voice of the com
plainer is not heard ; no “ happy val
ley” where true contentment reigns
Earth has majestic mountains, purling
streams and valleys of perfume, which
are pleasant to behold, but life’s pil
grims soon weary of the sight, and
long for something nobler, sweeter and
better! Could we find on earth a
fancied paradise, where nature has
lavished her blessings in endless pro
fusion, where the flowers unceasingly
bloom, “ And tho song of the nightin
gale never is mute,” we would not long
be satisfied to dwell there—we would
sigh for a “ better country!”
“ Poor wanderers of a stormy day,
From wave to wave we’re driven ;
Aud fancy 8 flush and reason's ray,
Serve but to light the troubled way,
There’s nothing bright but heaven !”
There is a “ better country” some
where, and our unrest here is an evi
dence that wc were formed for a hijjh
er, happier sphere and a nobler des
tiny.
“ Elfc, v. hence this pleasing hope
this fond desire, this longing* after, im
mortality? Or, whence this secret
dread, this inward horror of falling
into nought?”
There must be a country, whose in
habitant shall not say, ** lain sick,”
a country where the good shall live
agaiu and be recompensed for nil the
toils and sufferings endured iu this
life, a country where severed friends
may meet and broken ties be Lueuded ;
and that country is Heaven.

Fitch, of the Slar, called to see us
this week.
He, and the Star, are sparkling and bright;
One ahinet In day-time, the other at niyht.
Tho’ the times are getting tighter ami tighter.
May the light of the Star grow brighter and

This ardent desire we most gladly Expr*»-j
We couldn’t say more, and will not say less.
§@7- Wo are gratified to announce
that the health of Col. Akin and fami
ly is improving. Three of that once
happy house-hold have been taken
away by a terrible disease of the throat.
The remaining littlo sufferers, we
hope, will soon be restored to perfect
health.
HaT* Rev. It. H. Jones* new brick
house, on West Main street, will soon

Cartersville is steadily growing.
Evidences of its increasing importance
and prosperity are being witnessed ev
ery day. Houses are going up, as if
by magic, all around, and we think our
town will soon be a city of no common
magnitude in the course of— time.
KuHluxetl-
A darkey, who ou mischief bent,
Into a patch of ’taters weut;
With critic eye he viewed the ground,
To see if danger there was found ;
Supposing, then, that there was none,
With energy his work begun.
The zeal with which he used his claws,
Was worthy of a better cause ;
But presently a form was seen—
An object tall aud white and lean—
And Sambo, with a yell and bound,
Made haste to leave the enchanted
ground.
And all night long he ran and ran,
An outraged and a wretched man ;
But soon he sought and found pro
tection,
With those who use him at tho " 'lec
tion.”
A. Ku-Klux charge, I have no doubt,
Against some one will be made out;
And if I know who scared that
I’d tell it, if I thought I cuter!
iHonhtcr Prize.
Everybody now-a-days more or leas
trusts to luck; and this probably is the
reason why the great scheme of Gene
rals Butler aud Gary, and Mr. John
Chadwick, of the South Carolina Im
migration Association, has met with
such remarkable success. A five dol
lar ticket calls for one of 2,404 prizes,
the largest of which, is an Academy of
Music worth $250,000; the second )
$100,000; the third, $25,000; and so on,
from SIO,OOO downwards. The draw
ing takes place in October, and will be
under the control of some of the most
distinguished gentlemen of the South.
