Our future is grand and glorious.
A Leader in the Senate.
o'ir able contemporary, the Atlanta Can
et elution. concludes an elaborate editoriaf or
-The Benate Mow and Hereafter," -with
there significant and timely word*
The Senate will remain Demeerntte. and
a new leader ma«' be found to replace th*
Senator that a total of pahtoc sentiment hi
Ohio will deprire os of at the end of the
prerent Congre«s.
Correct. Tbe Senate will remain Demo
cretin; hot who will Hue op to item the
mighty torrent which ia alwayr being poured
out upon the bead af "a solid South T” This
h a momentmM question. It stares w« in
the face with a grim solemnity. Thurman
is a wise, sagacious leader ; he ia moreover
a good friend to tbe Sooth, and ll will be
hard to And a man belonging to the North
ern wing of tbe Democratic die wha can
combat so successfully the tsnnta end sneers
of soch men as Blame, Coukling, or Ed
munds. True, there are a number of able
men from our section in the Senate—men
who are true as steal to the peopje'they rep
resent, bat nevertheWe ate wanting in tboae
eminent qualities that go to auka upa great
leader. Bayard, and Wallace, sad McDon
ald are there, and Ben Hill ia there, and ewr
owtr illustrious Gordon also; and yet none
of these possess those rare gifts which made
Ohio's eminent awn what all are witting to
concede to him—the best and safest leader
tbe Democratic party baa had since the war.
Be ia ooqamntionafely one of the grandest
characters he the Senate, commanding the
admiration of frieuda and the respect of foes.
But we believe n leader will appear when
the times demand him. Instances of thin
an not wanting in history. It sometimes
happens that events mike men great ; and
it it sometimes the case that some sodden
emergency or startling convulsion develops
grand and exalted qualities which would
otherwise remain bidden and obscure. Had
not the Giant of Philiatin sounded forth bis
defiant war-cry to the armies of Israel,
David would have bran nothing more that a
shepherd ail his life. Napoleon was a genius
brought to the gMe of the world by a crisis
which had come upon his people ; and to
day oar State is represented in the Senate
by one wboee noble qualities, both of bead
aitd heart, would have forever been bid bad
they not been developed by tbe chanoes of
war. And so, multiplied instances might be
addoced to show that what may be regarded
as impossible may of a sudden bf changed to
a fact accomplished.
Therefore, we have no serions fears for
the Senate. Clay is gone; Calhoun is in
hia grave-; Crawford, Cobb, Colquitt, nod
others like them, are sleeping beneath the
soil they so ably defended; bot amid the
bright galaxy of strength and talent now
assembled In the there will one rise
with superior power when the time comes.
It may be Bayard, or Vorhees—“the tall
sycamore of the Wabash"—bot whoever it
may be, our section will feel ber interests
safe.
Thb Lckatic Akyi.co.— As a matter of
general interest to the tax-payers of this
section of the State, we append the follow
lug, from the Milledgerille Union and Re
carder, relative to the Lunatic Asylum.
Notwithstanding reports to the contrary,
there is every reason to believe that the in
stitution Is well and economically managed :
“The enlargement of the Asylum for the
colored insane, recently provided for by the
Legislature, if going steadily forward. One
hnndred and eighty rooms are to be ndded
to the buildings now occupied by the male
and female colored pa'ients—9o rooms to
eaeh building. Forty-five or fifty laborers
are employed in this work, not
those who are tenting down the old peni
tentiary and delivering the material on the
ground
Thb Aerboachtko Stats Fat*.—The
Fair Is already an assured success. The ex
hibition will be better than ever before, if
we may believe all that bos been sard about
it. The field erope will be full aod com
plete; the ladiea will have the finest speci
mens of their handiwork; the stock display
will be good ; over fifty fine racers will be
pat on the track ; tbe poultry display will
be large; aeveral distinguished statesmen
will be present; Cock’s Brigade will have a
reunion ; tbe railroads are making liberal
redactions, and everything is being done to
make this exhibition tbe grandest that has
ever been made in the State. Tbe hotel ac
commodations will be ample.
A Scarx-crow.— Tbe Boston Ikratd has
this about Beast Butler’s facer
“Gen. Butler’s countenance ornaments sfl
tbe dead walls in Boston. A disposition to
make hint look fresh and vigorous enough to
undertake tbe cares of State is plainly ap
parent."
It would serve a better purpose were the
face utilised in tbe way of scare-crows ia
cornfields. Not a bird would come near it.
Tax Divterknor.— Sven tbe bitterest
Radical at tbe North must be struck with
the difference seen in tbe speeches of Sena
ton Gordoo and Cookling—one delivered at
Savannah, tbe other at Brooklyn. Tbe oae
is broad, liberal, exalted io tone ; tbe other
is narrow, selfish, and has tbe flavor of the
cock-pit. That is tbe difference.
Declined.— lt is romored that Mr. Tikfeo
is preparing a letter in which be will baek
Fqnare down from tbe Presidency Whether
this be tiue or not, we feel that be is about |
as near tbe While llouac as he ever will be. j
“Blushed aw Dey Wh:-h7Sxpbcts Jfrv-,

tot the revolt in Ohio. To nse tbe
of a sable philosopher, “Slewed am dey

“Honor to Whom Honor to

Mr. Frlilnr .<—l find in your last thue an
article intended to he in reply to! a com
munication publish'd in your paper of the
3d inst.. headed ‘ Honor to Whom FJpnor It
Due." The article in question bents the
signature of “H„” and as the gircuiatlon of
your paper’ is opt confin d to tbe Jijpits of
Henry county. I have thought best to en
lighten your readers as to the identity of tile
party. It to Mr. G A. H ; H—tiettiSFlmwwn.
as preacher HiR, and frequent!? caHed
brother Hill. T dislike to say anything in
rexardto a minister’s conduct, but m Mfc
Hill has invited me to the task.ttofiffil Mi
dee vor tn do my duty by stating alow Nets,
I lit the plainest language at my command - .
ft was my misfortnne to hav* Mr. Hill as
'a tenant on my form last year,wider mrcum
atwiega that would certainly excuse ft more
“tyran tricar man : than lam. lie came to
me.~ any log be could got shelter nowhere else,
and more an ah act’ Of cWfty -than of
necessity. I allowed him to live on my place.
Now. It must be known Mr. Hill is a
brave man He aayw so, and of cowrye. being
• preacher, no one Would be so indelicate as
to dispute his ward. Tbe first evidence that
I bad of this foct was when, on n certain oc
casion, after great provocation. I threatened
to kick oae of hit bey* “into tbe air/”
Knowing the character of the nun. after
this occurrence I naturally apprehended
trouble, and my M»r» were not wholly
groandtesei On the third morning after I
threatened his boy, be appeared fn front of
my h<>esc, armed with a dob-axe. and
strongly supported by bis two sons, Phillip
and Wesley. When I appeared dbou the
scene of action be informed me the The bad
prayerfully oonaidered the matter Vfor three
days and nights, non finally decided that he
must have satisfaction fn answer to this
speech, I warned him to leave, aftd that
quick. He obeyed with alacrity, gracefully
covering hie retreat with the two Mjfl men
tioned above. So much for Mr. Hill's
bravery. ; “ ! ‘-
As regards the statement that “Bpb’s”
master knocked ‘Bob” down with a fence
rail, it Is unqualifiedly false—as « also tbe
assertion that I have “sought for the post
twelve months to impede bis (liiM pros
perity. for no other reason than that he was
not willing to become my abject slave,”-' »
Mr. Hill is very considerate to warn the
readers of Tub VVbbki.t not to say any
thing about ‘Bob’s’’ mas'sr "making .the
bills of Mt. G»:mel echo with his nhnll vnioe,
as the mule’s master was at Umi time a
member of tbe church ” 1 expect sit a future
dsy to Ist the readers of T*a W'xic*iAk"»»»
why “Bob’s” master uaine loqwHt the church ..
Mr Hill spoke of bis aa a
school teacher. This is easily explained, and
would insure a fall school to up teacher
who woold pursue the same coarse. ‘He
went to at least, two parties, to ru)r certain
knowledge, and told them to and thoic chil
dren to him; that it shoald not cost them
anything; that be would get Whs* he could
from the public school fund, and would not
ask them for any tuition money. Be is
probably popular wilb tbe children because
be allows them to go half a mile from the'
school house rabbit-banting, and b(y Huiulg
ing them in their sports in varktag ways
His kindness in this respect is withowt ex
ample, and should commend bins tojntt frolic
some children everywhere. j «-•
Mr, Hill refers the public ti several
gentlemen in the neighborhood to jf#ove hts
assertions, and, as I believe, wholly* without
suthority. ! now call on him to
aie the trath of a single statement contained
in bis article by either of tbe parties to
whom he haa referred, and until he Sdoeathis,
an ii credulous public wilt regard his unsup
ported statement wjtb just suspicion.' 1 “
In conclusion, I warn Mr. Hill *o ; confine
himself to tbe truth in whatever he may have
to aay about am in future. He ha* a slight
advantage of me in the way of notoriety as
a controversialist, bis name having appeared
in these eolumoa before, while tbe paper was
under tbe management of Mr. Bead, and I
cannot hope to distinguish myselt ar a con
test so unequal. However, what I may say.
(and have said.) will possess the lierft of
trntb at least, and that is more than 1 can
expect from my adversary. ■t'Brwtb is
mighty, and will prevail,” is an axipm well
known, and I shall state some very plain
facta before I withdraw from tbe contro
versy. A. V. McVjokbr.

plenty of people now living can remember
him as be fired appeared in this city in the

was a model of manly beanty—-tall, erect,

pf his shoulders, the slenderness of hia waist,
with its tight-bnttoned coat, aod the bril
liancy of his eyes. He was then thirty-four
years old aod was io the first flush of bis
great fame as a violinist; indeed, it will be
hprd to convince many that any t«ie of his
numerous successors is his superior. He
came to us again in 1b54, when he dissipated
tbe earnings of yean in tbe attempt to “es
tablish” Italian opera in New York Acad

Bxn Butler’s Early History —General
Butler is sixty-one. He was “a small, sickly,
quiet but very studious boy.” When he
was a year old his father,a West India tra
der, died of yellow fever. His widowed
mother opened a boarding-house and gave
her son a liberal education. Her wish
was that be should become a Baptist min
uter, so be spent yours at Waterville College,
Maine, graduating at tbe age of twenty.
After leaving college he vent to sea with
his uncle oo a fishing voyage, which bad a
beneficial effect upon his health, establishing
an excellent constitution, which a subsequent
temperate rife has confirmed. To aid him m
the study of law, tbe profession finally cboeen,
he taught school at intervals, and before he
was admitted to the bar, which was in 1840,
bad woo quite a local reputation as attorney
in minor coses.
A few days ago a mule at Columbus
trotted up in a limpiDg way to a blacksmith
' * hc P «od deliberaiely walked into the shop.
He seemed to be very uneasy aod restless,
exhibiting unmistakable signs of pain. Tbe
men io the shop were rather taken aback by
the mule who thus came to the shop unbri-
died and loose. At last the mule lifted up
one of his legs, and with a gesture of his
head directed the attention ef one of the men
to IHs font. It was discovered that q na 1
had worked its way into tha flesh, evidently
causing tha apparent pain. The nail was
then drawn out, and his muleship. much re
lieved. gsve a snort of thanks. A few mo
ment* after he trotted of reach pleased, and
has not been sec» since;
General Grant lunebed under one of the
big trees in the Tomesite the other day
The tree has horne his name since the war.
The nearest pf the giants is named '‘Andy
Johnson.” The guide told Grant a story of
Jndge Jackson, of Geotgia, who a few years
ago visited the trees. Hiving spread his
cloth under • General Gr«nt.” Judge Jackson
had put the first morsel in his month when
some one happened to mention the name of
the tree. The unreconstructed Judge at
once arose, took up his dishes, his cjoth and
hia basket and moved over to Andy John

It will be apparent to any one, who will
examine a Solid Gold Watch, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing,'fe large proportion of |h»

W A'KCH CASKS, this waste of precious
metal is overcome, and the same solidity amt
strength produced at from one-third to one
half of the usual cost of solid cases. This
process is of the most simple nature, as fol
lows : a plate of nickle composition metal,
•specially adapted to the purpose, has two
plates of solid gold soldered ooe on each
skfe. The three are then passed between
polished steel rollers, and the result is a strip
of heavy plated composition, from which the
cases, backs, centres, hexyls, etc., are cut and
shaped by suitable dies ajid formers. The
gold in these cases is sufficiently thick to
admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and
enamelling; the engraved ca»s have been
carried until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without removing tbe gold.
