Assembled sages, managers of State, On you, depend a mighty nation’s fate; To you a prostrate people look for aid. Whilst mingled hopes and fears, their breasts pervade. Oh look ye back, athwart the page of time. And note our country in her youthful prime’; Through all her vales, her mountains, and her plains, Was heard contentment, in rejoicing strains; Then liberty and peace together smiled. And made our land fair freedom’s favorite child. This happy scene, onr rulers wise, surveyed, For this had all their varied laws been made; They had accomplished well, their work pro found, In all the system fair, no flaw was found; No clause, they thought, was worthy t* be changed, In equal rights, the States were all arranged. Each in the other, some true interest found, ! And in one fabric grand, the whole was bound, Nor war, nor want, in all the land remained i 1 ut sweet content in peaceful triumph reign ed. Such was our country, in her happy days,, Basking ’neath freedom’s ever genial rays. But harsh fanatics, with detractions loud, Cast over all, a darkiy lowering cloud; Peace, weeping, shi ieked, and banished from our sight— Wrapt were our glories in tartarean night. The cl imes of war, I shudder to relate, Its woes, its horrors, its demoniac hate. But such is war, ’tis useless to complain, Misery and want are its attendant train; Let us forget It, and by reasonings wise, Assist onr country to again arise; i , r ; *i It is for you, in counsel to exclude All laws, but those of universal good. Let factions cease, let justice rule the day, Then will the States, beneath her equal sway Be joined in love, in interest and in peace, Through all the land, unhappiness will ceaie. Our country’s honor will then be renewed, Our wondrous laws, by other natiou's viewed, And envied, too, for their unbounded good. Then wreathed will be your names in fadeless lays, : < And live forever in your country’s praise. Polk Cos., Ga., Feb. Ist., Nkophyte. ft f v i > .. Rabbits in Gardens. At this season of the year rabbjts are very annoying to gardeners and nurserymen, because of the depreda tion on tender plants and the bark of young trees. Therefore, it is necessa ry to protect these, and every means that promises success are eagerly ap plied by those who are interested, to effect the purpose of protection. We are informed by a reliable gardener that rabbits never barber about or fre quent a place that has a smell of blood in the vicinity. He has found perfect safety for his plants by scattering blood around the edges of his garden and orchard. The blood serves for a frightener so/ several weeks. —Our Home Journal. A Case of Suicide. In our last issue we mentioned the fact that a woman’s body had been found in a creek near Bed Clay, and that it was supposed that she had been violated and then murdered. .Since then we have learned several facts, which, together witha ttendant circum stances, convince us that she commit ted suicide. The facts, as we received them, are about as follows: In the afternoon of the day preced ing tiie one on which the body was found, the young woman, whose name was Huffacre, asked her mother to per mit her to attend a ball that was to be given that night. Permission not be ing granted, she proceeded to some household matters and uppearantly in different to her mother’s refusal. But while thus engaged she stated to her younger sisters that she was under the impression that she would die soon and if so, she would give them all her clothes. She did not, however, inti mate any intention of committing sui cide; and her sisters, therfore, paid but little attention to, what they supposed, her vagaries Whether any one saw her leave the house or not, we did not learn. Her absence, however, was no ticed; and a search being instituted, her body was found in a creek as sta ted in our last issue. The marks of violence which were on her person, and led to the conclusion that her per son had been ravished, were slightly and evidently self-inilicted. Her shoes were discovered lying on the bank where she had drowned herself. The creek in wnich her body was found was small and very shallow—not be ing more than two or three feet at the place in which she met her death, I which fact indicates that she had made up her mind to die and had the nerve to keep her head under water in order to bring about dissolution. What motive could have prompted her to commit suicide, unless it was on account of her mother refusing to per mit her to attend the dance* we can’t conceive. In view of the fact that she attempted to destroy her life once be fore, one would suppose her mind was diseased, and that, at this particular time in whicti she courted death, it was in a deranged state. —Dalton Citizen. *@L.'lbe exclimation of an excitable country dame on seeing the meteor a, few weeks since: “There la’ ha’ mercy, old man, do come here, if a stare haiut busted.” —MS- A sublime obituary: “Another stal wart tree fell last evening, in its au tumn prime, in the person of J.

Sfimhs, has the audacity io accept a position for which he is utterly disqualified, lacking every requisite of education, character, or knowledge of the first principles of lav, aud to aftemm to or ganize the'Court. We sat andtftHy, for Sims not olily knows that he 1 has not the first requisite quotient ion for the opt, ignorant ns he is, he kuowsThai his appointment was a de- liberately designed insult, offered by Bullock to the Bar ftfid people of this District, and-inflicted for the gratifica tion of his moan malice at the sacrifice of public justice, propriety and decen cy* We have before expressed our just indiguatiou at this most wantou aud reckless outrage. The English lan guage furnishes us no stronger terms than we have used, iu which to express our execration and contempt for the miserable creature who, iu the malig nity of his he art, to wreak his person al resentment upon his betters, prosti tutes the high office which he disgra ces, and drabbles the ermine in the slime aud filth of partisan hatred and malignity, iguorauco, corruption and venality. « * By this infamous outrage, Bullock, no doubt, hopes tb exasperate the re sentment of our people beyond the lim its of forbearance, knowing, as be well does, that no soemm unity not trampled under the heel of relentless and malig nant despotism, would hesitate to re sent such a shameless and unjustifiable wrong. We trust, however, that in this he will be disappointed, aud that our people will show a reverence and respect for the law which he has thus wantonly ‘degraded and outraged, and that 110 steps but such as are strictly orderly, lawful and peacable will be re sorted to. Resentawnt should not be directed tOltfuards the vain, ignorant negro who, in bis ridiculous vanity, has permitted himsekffto be made a iooliof more sagacious and blacker villi any.— In his new role he-is capable of little harm without the assistance and co-op eration which he is not likely to have even from his o*n party. Let the ig norant little puppet play his part. He will soon discover his error in permit ting himself to be made the dupe of Radical knavery and rrialignity. By the correspondence which we pub lish below verbatim, it will be seen tnat Mr. Mills, to whom Bullock had the cool effrontery to tender the appoint ment of District Attorney, has indig nantly returned bis commission with a withering rebuke which would bring a hot blush of shame to any other cheek than that of this infamous crea ture to which it is addressed. « It would be no compliment to Mr. Mills to say that his course in the mat ter was just what Was expected of him. No honorable man could have done less, and he may be sure that his let ter, manly and indignant as I> is, will be endorsed by every true man in this and every other community: Jhfcjr 19th 1871; T.

Given under my hand and the seal of the Executive Department, at the Capitol, in Atlanta, the day and the year first above written. 11. B. Bullock. By the Governor: R. H. A Herm an, Secretary Executive Department. Savannah, Ga., Jan, parv 31st, 1871. Hon. R. B. Bullock, Gov. of Georgia : Dear Sir: I have, through post of this day received’ from Jas. M. SifnVhs, your appointee for Judge of the First District, an official, written notifica tion, under the seal of the State, in forming me of my appointment as Dis trict Attorney of the First Senatorial District. Whilst I should be pleased to fill the office in question under a Judge of high character, possessing good legal 1 attainments and intellectual culture, I cannot for a moment ehtCifain the monstrous proposition of accepting it' under the embryo Judge appointed- for the portion. Xu this connection I may; say that I have no desire to misinter pret the motive of your Excellency in the above appointment, but cannot re- 1 frain from the opinion that it must! have been done as a purposed insult to myself, and through me to the Bar of the Eastern Circuit. If Ibe coriect in this opinion I despise the effort. Whilst I have never known or seen so. as. The female alligator will not allow the male to approach her nest. He has a gluttonous habit of eating all the eggs, thus necessitating her. laying more, which she does not like to dtx—- So, whenever she catches him in that neighborhood she thrashes him ou general principles—he has either done mischief or intends it; at auy rate, he is meddling in domestic matters, and deserves suubbing. I'm,told that it is really amusing to sec the big bully stick his tail between his legs and sneak off, the very image of a hen-peck ed husband, after one of those conju gal scoldings. He is not by any means a model husband; and although fie takes his thrashing kindly, he reven ges himself by Watching Until lbe eggs are really hatched, ami then eats up as many of the causes of the fondly* dispute as he can catch. 'Young alli gators don’t like to know their own fathers. 1 heard of but few- instances where these creatures have attacked grown men; they aro fond of children, and* show their attachment to the-offspring of other people as they do their own. In one instance, where a map on horse back was crossing a ford, he was Seiz ed by the leg, but when his dbg plung ed in, the alligator left his leg, to tike more delicate morsel. In another instance, an aligator struck at the* mule pulling u cart, and bit out two spokes from one of the wheels, leaving a tooth sticking in one of them as a memento of the visit. He hurried off with great speed, pn tpe. lookout, I suppose for a dentist. ’Gators like dogs, pigs, and yemng darkies. The dog is a speeial favorite. The whine of an alligator is easily mis taken for that of a puppy, and misleads a young and inexperienced dog. A wise Florida dog will not go boldly down to the wafer to drink; he learns by experience after having been eaten once or twice. If the sffeue is open, he will draw all the alligators to one place by baiking, and then scamper off to another place where the coast is clear; or hb will -creep clown to a moist spot, tail down, body crouched, eyes skinned and ears up, pushing his paws slowly before him to feel the water, lapping it without noise, and then sneaking away again. The alligator has his uses; near ev-- ery house you find more or less swamp, and in every swamp more or less alli gator. I heard one lady complaiu very much because some traveler had killed her alligator. He lived near, and killed snakes, frogs, young wild cats aud other varmints; time he earn- ed his board, and was constantly pro tected; besides, he was useful in pre venting young children from straying too far from home. This worthy creature is very much fimligned, however, every theft of cat tie is laid on his blimy back, and that even when the cattle is found m the woods and the entrails carefully taken out and left behind. His eyes are on the top of his head, and it is curious to see the creatures swimming, along with only his eyes floating above the surface. He comes ashore to sleep in the sunshine, and paying attention to his sleep, becomes so dead to all sound that a steamboat may come alongside; then his astonishment when a bullet, wakes him up, and the hurried way iq which he scuffles into “o water, are sometimes very ludicrous. Lippine<jfx Magazine. In-growing Toe-Iai!». This most painful of the diseases i t the aaife is caused by the improper manner of butting the nail (generally of the great toe,) and then wearing a narrow, badly-made shoe. The iv i! beginning to grow too long, rather - wide at the corners, is trimmed around the corner, which gives temporary re lief. But then it begins so grow voider in the side where i was'cut ofl; and, as the shoe presses the flesh against the corner, the nail cuts more aiaa more into the raw flesh, which becomes excessively tender and irritable. If this state continue long the toe be comes more painful and ulcerated, and fungus (proud flesh sprouts up from the sorest points. Walking greatly increases the suffering, till pos itive rest becomes indispensable. Treatment —We omit all modes of cutting out the nail by the root, and all other cutting or torturing opera rations. Begin the effort at cure by simple application to the tender part of a small quantity of perchloride of iron. It is found in drug stores in a fluid form, though sometimes in pow der. There is immediately a moder ate s nsation of pain, constriction or burning. In a few minutes the ten der surface is felt to be dried up, tan ned or mummified, and it ceases to be painful. The patieut, who before could not pat his foot to the floor, now finds that he ca i walk upon it without pain.
