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 N 14 A ID 4 N 14 G 8 D 4 0 15 B 2 L 12 L 12 F 6 A1 A 1 1 9 X 24 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. aTThe Montgomery Picayune says Mr. RinßStaff, tn Intelligent planter ia tbe South ern pottion of Montgomery county, Informs tbe editor of that paper that the worm is playing havoc with the cotton. The P caysue says the advices from the co.utiee contiguous to that city indicate that the orop will be much shortened by ‘be ravages by tbe worm “There now,” cried a lit la girl while rumaging a drawer to a bureau, ~g ran’p a le# gone to Ueavan without his spectacles.” •• • 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 frighteu the (lanters into selling rapid ly, but I hope our Southern planters 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- ftaiuedbyihe figures,) if planters arc smart, and hold their cotton; and de- mand good prices, they can got them.— ! I wi-b you Would look back to your file | and get the Columbus Ejcquirer, 27th August, and give it to your readers— many of whom are farmers—and wish all the information they can get on the question. This is my native county, old Mor -07*71, »nd to bershn'r’e 4>» contains, snino ‘ mamict ii nt”scalawags. 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 elr. Tb« Ordinary of this county, Wil liam Woods—the man who dia all (he work night and day for tbe Democrats for twentysfive yeais—is tbe vilest Rad ical of all. He states to the Degroer, r.gbt out, that if Seymour aud Blair 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 is also one of tbi ir crowd, but Col. tyat iold is more particularly in growiug cot ton which ia the aiost creditable employ ment for him. Perhaps be enuld not see an opening lor him, wiu . i't pressure, and he was too modest to press, and did not feel disposed to hug and kiss old Vol. 11l No. 31.
