We didn’t expect at the kegining to please every body, nordo we flutter our helves now that we have done so, hut would feel self condemned as a sycophant if we had done so. Were we to pander to the whims and caperiesof all, we would utterly fail, and ought to fail to please any. But we believed at the oonuuenoomcut, and believe now that a bold vindication of right und denunciation of wrong wna what the people wanted and needed. Upon this principle we launched onr bark and we have never departed from that line through fear of our enemies or affection for our friends. And at the close of this volume we hope to say we have hot departed from first principles, and we will re-assure our readers at the commencement of the sec ond volume that we will stear in the same ■rhaunal, contending for right and battling against wrong. If, in contending for cor rect principles we make enemies we will feel proud of having done a good work, and all right thinking men will say well •done, good and faithful servant, and this approval we would rather have from one honest, right thinking man than the good will of a thousand hypocritical policy men, whose friendship can only be gained by the sacriflfco of principle. One more nnmber will end the first vol ume and with the best evidences we can offer, of onr gratitude to those whose sub scription began with the first mini her we do confidently hope that they will be promptly renewed. Every sensible man knows that our expenses are heavy and they must be promptly met. Cash we have to pay for everything, and we cannot do it unless onr patrons pay us promptly. Come promptly with your two dollars and commence with the first number. We will have an interesting canvass this sum mer, Congressmen, Senators and Repre sentatives have to be elected this fall, and we will havo a lively time; and we promise you to be a faithful sentinel upon the po litical watch towers.

The beating rains of two weeks ago suc ceeded by a few cold nights, gave to both cotton and corn a drooping and sickly ap pearance, but the later genial showers and warm sunshine has restored the plants to health and vigor and they are growing beautiful. The oat crop, we learn will be seriously injured by the rust. This will create the necessity of heavy corn pur chases. Our Thunk*.

A call hnH been made by General Jccknon, pres ident, for the third RcHHion of the National Ag ricultural OougroHH, which will be held at At-* ! lauta, (ia., on ftluy 18. The congress had its rise | in 1871, by the consolidation of the “Agricul tural Congress,” a purely southern institution, j which the TennoHsoo Agricultural and Mechanic's j Association. Under the auspices of these bodies, | a meeting was held at Nashville, Tonn., at I which eleven states were represented, and whore the national agricultural congress was formed. In 1872 j the meeting of tho congress was held at St. Louis, where the Bt. Louis Agricultural ami Mechanical Association was amalgamated with it. Last yeur tho congress met at Indianapolis, where, alter a very successful meeting, it ad journed to meet at Atlanta, Ga., on May 13. This gathering, representing every state in j tin? Union, and every form of mrmers f organiza tion, will be of immense importance “In view,” says Jackson, in his call, “of the representation, annual convocation of representative farmers and scientific gentlemen, and especially since the farmer mind is thoroughly aroused to the neces sity of considering with the greatest deliberation the mauy questions touching the industrial in terests of the country, and has now become ready for vigorous and effective action, there is every reason to expect a full representation, and 1 therefore urge upon all the constituent bodies, and especially tho Patrons of Husbandry, to he j represented. “It is especially requested that notification shall be made of the appointment of delegates to Charles W. Greene, Beerotary, Jacksonville, 111., ut as early date as practicable.” Another Steamship Lost. The steamship Tacna, from Valparaiso for Tan de Azucar, sank at sea on the night of the 14th ult. Without any perceptible cause, the vessel evidently heeled at 4 a. m., while the passengers ami many of the crew wort; asleep. The captain, who was on deck, tried to ship, but his crew was panic-strckon, and nothing could be done. Tho order was then given to lower the boats. The gig,in which the lady passengers were placed, was swamped on being lowered, tne forward tackle becoming jammed, and all, or nearly all on board, perished. Two of the crew got into the port dingy and made for the shore, despite the cries for assistance of tho diowning occupants of the g>£- Captain Hyde and several of the officers re mained on board until the vessel sank. They then struck out, ami after being in the water for some time, supporting themselves by clinging to pieces of wreck, the saloon deck having been blown off by an explosion, caused probably by tho water rushing down the funnel, they were at length picked up by the other boats. After re maining on the scene of the disaster until all hope of recovering any more of the passengers and crew was lost, tho bofcts proceeded to Los Vilos. The total number of persons who perished is nineteen, all of whom might havo been saved had it not been for the panic which seized upon a portion of the crew and tho refusal of the two men who got possession of the dingy to render anv assistance to the occupants of the gig. Mr. Henry Empson, purser of the Tacna, was the only son of a wealthy curiosity dealer in Liv erpool. As the vessel was about to sink he jumped into the sea, and was seen no more. Leonardo Jose Luis Fernandez, third officer, who was lost, was tho sou of one of the firm of Fernandez Brothers, brewers, of Wakefield. Eng land. Sumner’s Successor, The Hon. William B. Washburn has been elec ted United States Senator, having received 151 votes. The result was reached on the thirty third ballot, as follows: The whole number of votes cast was 2G7; necessary to a shoice 134. William B. Washburn 151; Curtis 64; Dawes 2G; Adams 15; Loring 4; Banks 4; Wendell Phillips 1; Stephen U. Gifford 1; John G. Whittier 1. William B. Washburn was bora in Winchendon. Massachusetts, January 30,. 1820, and gradnatea at Yale College in 1844. He has always been en gaged in the manufacturing business; was a mem ber of the State Senate in 1850, and of the Lower House in 1854; was subsequently president of th£ Greenfield Bank, and was elected a Bepresenta tive from Massachusetts to the Thirty-eighth Congress, serving on tho committees on invalid pensions, and roads and canals. He was re-elec ted to the Thirty-ninth Congress, serving on the committees on claims and revolutionary pensions. He was a delegate to the Philadelphia “Loyal ists’ Convention'” of 1866, and was re-elected to the Fortieth Congress. He has since been twice elected by the Republicans as Governor of the Btate, wliich position he now holds. Wiley Hurst, an enterprising negro of Mem phis, has been carrying on a very successful stroke of business for soirto years past,- and bis trade grew upon him to such an extent that it has proved his ruin. He had been so successful that nc thought if he took in a partner it would be a better thing for each than if he enjoyed it alone. Ho he disclosed his plans to Wm. Hurst, a son of his former master. His business was robbery and murder. He had done a good deal of both, and some of his contemplated jobs were decid edly too heavy for one man to undertake. Ho gave bis prospective partner an account of what he had already done, and laid open his plans for , the future, which involved half a dozen new mur- I ders and much money to be made, and he figured i out a safe business. Ho had been in the habit of | clubbing his victims to death, and it will be re membered the clubbing method has been quite brink around Memphis. Wm. Hurst did not con sider the business safe, and took counsel with the police regarding it. They thought it best to ar i rest Wiley Hurst, and bo, since bis imprison ( mrnt, has confessed to many robberies and mur ders which have been mysteries. I Subject to Jury Duty. The Supreme Court of this State lias lately had uuder cousiilerutiou a case which involved the liability of the members of the volunteer military companies of this city to do jury sorvice. A decision was ren dered in the case yesterday, and by it the members of the companies are m.de liable to do jury duty. The decision involved the uneoustitutiouality of the net exempt ing them from such servioe. Messrs. Whittle & Gustin carried the case up.— Macon Telegraph. o Bertha Gerolt, daughter of tko late Prussian Minister to the States, who entered the Monastery in the District of Columbia about three years ago, took the final vows ou Saturday. The same day a nun died within the convent walls who had been immured there twenty-five years, and belonged in the past to a re spectable official family in Washington. Within the same walls are a daughter of the Emperor Iturbibe and a daughter of Geu. Scott. A few weeks ago the daugh ter of Admiral Sands took the vail in this convent. o There is an old darkey iu Maryland who lately voted for local option, as he under stood it, but not as thc|public generaly un derstood it. The story (a true one) runs thus: At a recent election a friend asked the old man how he was going to vote. "Oh, he replied, “the republican ticket. I always vote that ticket.” “But how are you going to vote ou local option?” The darkey, looking up, asked, "What’s dut?’ "Why local option is putting down liquor, * was the reply, “Lora a massey!” said the darkey, "of course I vote for local option; I votes to put down liquor to the old price, tib-penny-bit a pint.” During the progress of a trial in Judge May’s court, in San Jose, one of the female witnesses was asked this question by one of the attorneys: “Did tlio defendant call his wife ‘my dear,’ when ho met her?” This took the witness by surprise, hut she ai - swered him in a manner that showed she was honest aud sincero in her belief. “Did he call her ‘my dear?’ Of course not. How could he when she is his wife?’ Descriptive of Easter.—-Eggs-traordi nury, eggs-cellent, eggs-citing, uneggs arapled, eggs-alting, eggregious, eggs-aef ing, eggs-coptioual, eggs-eossive, eggs on sable, eggs-haustive, eggs-hilaruting, eggs-pensive, eggs-pressive, eggs-tonsive, eggs-tolling, eggs-travagant, oggs-überunt, eggs-ultant. —PhiUtdelphia Ilerahi.

A little urchin was abstract edly wending his way with a pitcher of milk from the corner grocery; of a sudden his foot slipped arul iu an instant, the streets "were flowing with milk and”—water. The boy gathered himself up, still grasping the handle of tl © shattered pitohor and con templated the ruins in thoughtful silence. Agent.oma , on m <eiating| lis misfortune said. “Wuu, sonnyaiut you sorry?” To which the boy slowly replied: “No, lain’t sorry”—and, reflecting a second—-“I can't say that I am glad either.” If the last census is good authority, far mers don’t make much money. There are exceptions, however, iu the great west. A lawyer bought 2,000 acres of land near Webster, lowa, for $24,000, and sowed 1, 700 acres in wheat. In two years he has netted 30,000 from his crops. What a chance for hundreds of half-starved attor neys in New York who arc trying to reap a livelihood by sowing discord botwoen families. o “I see,” said a young lady, "that sonic publishers advertise blank declarations for sale. I wish I could get one.” “Why ?” asked the mother. “Because, nm, G is too modest to ask me to marry him, and perhaps if I could fill a blank declaration, he would sign it.” ■■■•■•••■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■op NEW A TANARUS) VKH TISEM EN TS.
