DAWSON, GA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1808.
For the “Dawson Journal ”
A REPLY TO “ WOMAN'S RIGHTS."
I know not who “Observer” is,
Nor shall I chance to know ;
Although I s-w his verses ont,
Some two weeks since or more.
“Womsn’s Rights,’’ it is a them*—
For eloquence indeed,
For which our good “Observer,”
Stsnds very much in need.
A woman, too, “Observer" needs,
To guide bim if sheoan;
To love him if ’twere possible,
And have no other man.
But if another comes along,
And cuts “Observer” out.
It is the “womsn’s” privilege,
She knows what sbe’a about.
O yesl a woman bas the right,
To stay at home ail day ;
Provided she can’t help berself—
In any other way.
And then she has a right to go,
As often as she can ;
Provided she can do so by—
The happy will of man.
And If a girl should daily get
A note from her tiresome lover ;
A previous, ’tis her right to state,
And go out with her brother.
She bas the right of casting sluts
On bachelors we know ;
And when she can’t do better,
Will use them as a beau.
She hopes he’ll sew his buttons on,
And darn bis socks for life;
For this is wei! enough for one,
Who never had a wife.
Ail this she bas a right to sny,
And laugh and talk at ease,
And when she wants to marry;
To take just whom she please.
WIDE A WAKE.
A SLIGHT MISTAKE.
BY CLARA AUGUSTA.
I will commence this paper by mak
ing a confession at which most of my
lady readers will turn up their noses ;
but they need not, for undoubtedly if
they would be frank nine tenths of
thrm would make the same confes
sion'
At eighteen I thought myself a beau
ty-
Every women begins life with that
idea. No matter how home y she may
be as a whole, she always flatters hex
self that she has a pretty nose, or that
her hair is wond*r‘ul, nr that there is
an expression in her eyes that is worth
a great de il; and if she has nothing
else to boast of, she m ly he ike »n el I
wom in l once knew, who, in -peaking
of personal beauty remarked •
“Well, I dunno as I’m very hand
some other ways but I’m sure of one
hing; my big to* is longer than tho
one next <o it. and everybody knows
that is one mark of beautv.”
If I had been a boy. I eh.mid prob
ably have been like all o'her boys a’
the age rs e : gh’een—T should have
thought myse’f smarter than any oth
er boy in the w*rH, and indulged
dreams of being President some day
For men begin life with 'he idea that
they are a little smarter than he rest
of their sex. and women begin life un
der the delusion 'hat they are a bl'le
handsomer than the greater part of
their sex.
Po, in the matter of being self de
ceived, as in most other things, the
sexes about on a par—not much to
choose any way. As th» widow Be
dott’s llezekiah very wisely remark
ed,
‘‘We are all poor creeturs!”
My g’ass told me a flat’ering tale. I
saw a wealth of auburn hair; envious
people called it red ; a pair of passable
blue eyes, a somewhat f.eck’ed faee,
and a nose just retrouse enough to be
saucy and piquant.
Os course, I thought that every one
who looked at me was «mitten, for I
had read novels, and devoutly believed
in love at Erst sight, and all that sort
of delicious humbug
My mother was a young and pretty
woman still, and took a great deal ol
pride in her daughter, as mothers are
liable to do.
Her name was Emily, and so was
mine; in fact our names were precise
ly alike— Emily Sydenham.
Our nearest neighbor was George
Marshdale, a rich, midle-tgad gentle*
man —a widower with one eon
Mr. Marahdale's bouse was the
handsomest in town, and be drove the
finest pair of hetsee, and kept the most
elegant carriage in that part of tbe
country.
Half tbe youug ladies in tbe place
were in love with biro, lor he was still
a very nice looking mm, and inclined
to be gallant and cordial.
His son, Philip, was a little older
than I was, but, with the exalted ideas
of eighteen, I looked down on Philip
Marshdale as a mere boy, who whs
more iu hi* place flyiog kites, and
spinning tops, than be was in our par*
tors, talking to mu about Italy, and
the moon, as he was disposed to do
upon every occasion.
Mr. Marshdale came to oor bouse a
great deal. He and my father had
been warm friends; and sometimes he
brought me fruit and flowers, and took
mamma and me out to ride io bis nice
carriage.
Os course, such attentions were not
to be pa sed by in a country town
without notice, and | • >ple began to
count up (he diflerence between my
age and Mr Marshdah ’e and speculate
upon the possibilities of our being mar
ried in the fall.
All the g'lls, and widows, and old
maids, were ready to tear my eyes out
because, vou see, they sll wunted Mr.
Mnrobdale themselves; bu« I did not
cure, smi l intended to be very happy
*nd very grand when I get to*be mis
tress of Vlarshdale House.
Dour me! what dr adful pains I put
myself to in order to he charming in
the eyes of my elderly admirerJ My
hair is naturally the very str*ahteet
hair you ever Baw, but I had heard
Mr. Marshdale say he admired curls,
and so 1 spent half my lime with my
hair in papers, and a towel pinned
over my head ; but if anybody came in
suddenly, I bad to dive into the near
est entry, or clothes press, to hide my
dishabille.
I used a lead comb constantly, for
somebody said it would make the hair
darker, snd I wore blue ribbons around
my waterfall, and touched up the rid
detit part of my locks with macassar
oil.
One evening in August I received a
note front Mr. Maraiidale, which sent
me to Paradise direedy I trod on air
and felt like the old lady at camp
meeting—na if I could fly, if I could
get the right flop.
'J he note read thus:
“Mr I)«ab Emily—l shall do my
self the honor of coming over to your
house this evening, if you will be at
home. 1 wish to speak to you upon a
matter which very Dearly concerns my
happiness. I think you will not need
to be told what May I come?
‘‘Your.', ever;
Gioroe Marshdale.”
Might he come ? of course he might
and I sat down and wrote him a line
to that effect.
I knew w hat he was coming for well
enough—to offer me his heart and
band, and though I never thought es
losing him, I intended to marry him,
because il would make all the other
girls so mad, and because he had
such a nice house and kept a carn
age.
I was ali the afternoon making my
sell beautiful for the occasion. It was
a terribly hot day, and 1 labored under
a great many disadvantages. Sweat
ing always would take every lit of
curl out of my bair and leave it straight
and stiff as a cai’s tail, and the heat
has a tendency to make my nose red.
especially if my corsets are laced
tight.
I took an iron to my hair, but I got
it too hot, and the hair suapped and
sizzled, and I put some oil on i', and
then it smelled like doughnu’s fried in
scorched lard I poulticed n.y nose in
bread and milk, but it only seemed to
grow the redder fur i'., and it sh ne
like a bald head by gas light. Then I
floured it, which made il look better
for a time, but directly penq h
tion t ok off all the ff>ur, and left
things in as bad a condition as be
fore.
Oh dear! the trials and tribulations
of this life are begun !
Mother no iced my ex’raordinary
preparations, and asked me what I
was getting ready tor. I iold her I
expected Mr. March dale over, and I
th ught she sighed but it in ght have
been my imagination. I thought she
was grieving at the prospective loss of
her daughter, and hastened to console
her.
“Oh don’i feel bad, mother dear,” 1
said gaily, “when I am mistress at
Marshdale I shall take you there to
live with me. You shall have hit de
lightful little room over the .front bal
coDy 1 I have thought of that a thou
sand times!”
“Thur.k you dear,” said my mother,
with such a curiously quizzical look ou
her face “you are very kind ”
By seven that evening I w#s dress
ed to receive tuy beau. He waa a
punctual man, and did not keep me
waiting
He came in smiling and radiant.
“Ah, good eveuing, Emby. A
charming evening isn’t itV” said he,
aDd then we had a ten minute*’ con
versation on the w< ather, after which
be asked to see my mother
How very cbivalrio he is 1 I thought
to myself. He wishes to get my moth
er's consent before be says anything
on the matter to me. Just like the he
roes io novels!
I opened the door into the parlor
where my mother was sitting, darning
stockings, I believe; and Mr. Marsh
dale walked in.
I coaid Leer pretty distinctly every
thing that passed, and in my curiosity
to know bo v he would manage to
conduct tbe allair. I moved dose to
the door and played eavee-dn>pper,
which I suppose was not very honora
ble.
They taLed a little while of the
weather, just as he and I bad done,
and then he said 1
‘ Emily, I suppose you must have
noticed that I wus io the habit of com
ing over here pretty frequently, and
you must have gueesed what it was
that attracted me ?”
Mother did not reply, and he con
tinued :
“My dear Emily ! surely you could
not have been so blind ! I have come
here to night to tell you a story, and
to bear your answer lam in love I
CU i,Q.,t be happy without possessing
the object of my love, Emily, am I to
be blest ?”
His voice sounded a little strange,
and I did not qube like the tender,
confidential tone he look with mam
ma;
“Mv dear Mr Marshdale !’’ said my
mother, “really—that ia—” an i there
■he broke down entirely.
“ik> not heeitate 1” cried he, exeit
ediv- I promise you that the devotion
ts my life shall be yours I”
*.£ 1 never thought you wanted
me,” Rtammered my mother, I thought
it was Emily 1”
“Ha 1 ha ! ha !” laughed Mr. Marsh
dale. “So you thought I wantert to
make a fool es myself by marrying a
girl young enough to be my grand*
child. Thank heaven I am not fuf
enough into my dotsge for that 1”
“But Erni y is—
“ That chit of a girl ! How ridicu
lous you have been, Emily. And be
sides, meanirg no disrespect., you
know, I never could be reconciled to
her red hair 1 Your lovely dark lock’*
are beauty’s perfection to me I”
Red hair, indeed ! The mean, ugly
old brute 1 My fingers fairly tinged to
box his ears for him.
“Kmiiy is a dear child,’* began my
mother.
“Oh yes, I know she it, and sbs is
to bo my child as well as yours, and
look here, Emily, I have always been
of the opinion that Philip of mine had
a notion after her. Wouldn’t it be
jolly ?”
Jolly ? I vowed I would not marry
Phil. Marshdale to save his life twice
over, and I meant it iben !
“But you have not answered me,”
said Marsudale st last. “Will you be
mine?”
Mo‘ her said something in a very low
voice that I did not hear, but 1 con*
eluded she agreed to wbat he wished,
for I heard him kiss her. Strange tbst
people will kiss in such a noisy, vul
gar way, as to be beard all over the
house.
I went off up to my chamber and
fastened the door, and flung myself on
the bed and cried till my nose felt as
big as a lobster, and 1 am sure that it
was as red
Mother came up snd tapped at the
door an hour ufterwaid, but I pretend
ed to bo asleep, and she went away
again.
Nobody guessed how mortified I was
over my mistake, andfor a day or two I
very nearly made up iny tnind to die of
a brokeD heart, hut when 1 oi me to
consider that it was all in the family,
that I should still five at Marshdale,
and ride in the carriage, I decided to
be delighted with the arrangement,
I bavu the little chamber ever the
front balcony now, andPbillip is grow
ing to be anch a nice looking young
tnaj, and the other girls admire his
moustache so much, that 1 should not
wonder at all if I look pity on him some
day, because he says he shall certainly
drown himself if I do not. And it
would be dreadful for him to be
drowned.
Ominous « urious Compu
tation.
The Nashville Union and Di-patch says :
An old ci.ieen of this city, lor the last forty
i years, lit- been iu tae iiaol of *’ -
| ters of the alphabet, composing the names of
the ciodidites for ./Resident and Vice Presi
dent, and nuiuberiug them from A to Z—l to
26— and giving to each, electoral votes cor
responding with the number of the letters of
alphabet which spell their names. He asserts
that this has beeD an unerring lest of ibe
strength of the contestants. In the present
election he has figured out on this basis, the
following ominous result :
S 19 G 7
E 5 R 18
Y 25 A 1
M 18 N 14
O 15 T 20
U 21 A 1

R 18
Total 140
Total 177 *
The most remarkable fact in this cal
culation, and one which has never oo
cured before, is that the votes of both
thus taken and computed, amount to
317, the exact Dumber composing the
to'al electoral vote sot the present year, j
embracing all the States of the Union, j
If the Greeks and Romans of old consi- j
dered the gravest public sets under
omens less reliable, the curious rs this '
age may cypher out something from this,
not less interesting, rs iable or hopeful.
A Carpel-Bag Adieu.
One of the extreme carpet baggers of New
Orleans, and Ist* a delegate from fcis tribe to
Washington, bas succumed to the preeeure.
In a farewell address to hie constituency, he
said • , *
“Mr Friends : I am a carpet bagger. I J
admit it 1 have been emung you lor some j
time, and have never ceased to advooete your j
cause in the press of the North—in the three ;
leading Republican newspapers oi New Tor*
Washington and Pbiladelpiia. But! am go
ing to leave you. We are all going to leave |
you, and you wilt soon be alone. My advice to (
you is to uuite yourselves to those whose fa— !
vor it is your interest to secure. Be guided
by those wbo alone can furnish you with
work and food and clothing. Join yourself
to the people of the South. We are going ;
we cannot find you walk to support you.
Your interest lies with those who csn.”
He saw the handwriting on the wall, and,
more honest than his coadjutors, determined
to repair, as far as posaible, the evil he had
done. Some desperate Skowbeganites will
cling to the wreck as long as their finger
calls hold out; but they will a!! leave, before
many months. When they shall have gone,
as go they must, their blaok dupes will have
a chance to refleot upon the folly of quarrel
ing with their bread and butter.

Letter from Hndison.
Madison, Ga., Aug, 29,1868.
Editors Journal and Mrsrbnqrr ;
I have examined tborongbly the cot
ton crops iu this oonnty and through
tbit region. lam satisfied a full crop
cannot be made.’ I bare seen stalks of
cotton 5 feet high and fine looking weed,
and upon examination, I found four
well matured boll*. Last year such
stalks bore 100 .bolls. The most ex
perienced planters do not expect half
crop». F. and 8., large planters from
Sumter county, wrote me to-day, that
the crop in Southwestern Georgia is the
poorest they h»ve seon in that country.
Gol. John B. Walker, of this county,
wbo plants on old Caney, Wharton
county, Texas, bad a latter from his son
Abner Walker, on his splendid farm
(which joins Col. Sorrell, of Vineville,)
that on 400 acres of cotton, he would
not gel a bale of cotton; it is now de
stroyed by worms. O. L. Battle, will
known in Georgia, who also plants on
old Caney, Texas, one ol the firm of
Wm. Henley dr Go., Galveston, Texas,
wrote me to-day that on the sth lost.,
worms were doing eousiderabiedamagf;
on the 16ib, the worm had woand np
an 1 from the cessation of rain from the
4th to 17th, many more than half of the
erjsalis were dead. The crysalia not
killed by dry weather, if the rains have
eommenoed again, the probability it,
about this time they are fully develop
ed, and are doing their ravages to the
crop.
This letter was written by Mr. B ,
who is at present at Wat-biogmn, Ga.,
but you see that Col. Walker’s letter
snd Mr Battle’s agrees ss (Jul. Walker’s
information is latest. Thus you see,
our ootton crops must be light This
fact is plain to every man North, who
ie interested in cotton, bcnce the rffort
to break down the market early, to

will nit be caught as last year. All
the money they wish can be had a*, sev
en to ten per cent, per annum, and ar
range to hold their cotton twelve months.
Let this fact be known. I would call
specnl attention to the Columbus En
quirer, ‘lllli— article “Cotton crup, 18-
08.” Let every planter read; it is a sen
j sible thiug. The editor says, beingsu9-

Here resides Joshua Hill, eur lung term
Senator. When I 10-ik upon that gen
, ih-uian, wbo I know is a gentleman—
too much so to he in this sonliwtg
ciowd I can but reget his blindness,
and his fatal error, for the day will soon
dawn, when ho Will regret that ever he
placed h s merit and influence against
his race, his kindred and bis neigbnrs
Can it be ojfice, and the pay of cffice,
that leads such men into error? If so
I fell sad, that for such poor pay—a
a man would s»crifi?e the good opinion
of his fireuds and relatives and among
the white people of bis owd Southern
country. The day will be, when all
Radicals wi.l repent of this e< O'se.
Here, also, resides Colonel Fsnnin,
who taught me to read. He is a disap
pointed Radical—tried for the Judge
ship of the OetnulgeeDistrict Court, but
failed, aud lion. P. B. Robinson, of
Greensboro, was the successful party, 1
notice. The Greensboro paper answer
ed your enquiry in relation to this Mr.
Robinson, that be was all right, a good
D mocrat, etc. It is said here, and I
will prove it, that the McWhcrtera of
tbe Legislature, (including the Speaker,)
say he voted tbe Radical ticket. Os
that there is so doubt. If necessary, I
can prove i . I know that tbe said Rob
inson, now Judge, i* a Baptist preacher,
and it is to be regretted that some of tbe
leading Baptists here say that he is
a bad man, not to be trusted. My own
opinion, based upon the knowledge of
men here, who know Robinson, is that
be ie a poor, miserable creature, of tbe
Radical party, so you mast call on yonr
Greensboro friend to investigate bis
character agaio. No, sir, all appoint
ments thns far are decidedly radical, and
when an appointment comes from the
“Express Agent” it is a good evidence
the party belongs to him, or he is to be
paralyzed io effort against him and his
Grant crowd. Judge Cole, of yonr city,
may be an exception. I hope so. But
Judge Cole must not be so decidedly
mum ?! V- is a Democrat,let him own
it. if be is a Radical, let him work for
the Radicals. 1 hope Jn go Cole will
declare bis sta'ns. 1 like the old gentle
mao, but bis friend here, and all over
Georgia, beleive he’s more or less Radi
cal. This c.uoh tor Judge Cole's ben

Tb« Ordinary of this county, Wil
liam Woods—the man who dia all (he

for twentysfive yeais—is tbe vilest Rad
ical of all. He states to the Degroer,

are eleeted they will be put back into
slavery. This he did in tbo streets of
Madison, and good white witnesses, tbe i
first men of tbo of this orntty, are tuy i
witnesses. Is not ibis a ur>st shameful
condition of things? This same Woods i
soys that Congress, in September, will
and ought to give the Legislatures pow
er to elect the President, and he wi.-bed ;
and hoped it m»v be so. T. P. t'Hffold

But I find the Democrats, here, firm,
and ibe negroes are getting their eyea
open to the many wilful lies told about
their fate if Seyuour and Blair are
elected They are begining to know
their friends, Let every Democrat
throughout Georgia and the South threw
to five negroes, who know them well,
and ait down and quietiy tell them all
the facts, and get their confidence. This
will do more good than all the specchee
of Hill, Toombs end Cobb could do iu
ten years.
