Upon thy breast I lamed; my lover, and my kpig, AS bliiliHome, a:.d .is happy, as ths fleetest bird awing.

Wher’er thy feet have trod my own, this heart has followed thee, Uh! Love come back ami bring my heart, and thy heart too to me. A woman weak I can’t, forget for thee I ever sigh Can’st thou forget?—lre this I know, Oh ! Dear Gori let me die. Etkell Hillykr Harris. A bill has been introduced into the Virginia Legislature imposing a stamp tax of 1 cent on every •fight draft and check used in the State of Virginia, the revenue de rived from which is to be devoted solely forth' purpose of increas ing the pensions of wounded or disabled CouLdercle soldiers and for the bent fit of their widows. An exchange s-aya: “When peo ple talk about there being a bettei State than Georgia, every potato slightly winks itseye; every cab ingtt ebaKOH its bead; every beet gets read in the face; every onion feels stronger; every oat head is • hocked; rye strokes its beard: corn slicks up its ears, and every toot of land kicks. The horses even tllO 2, to 1 Wltll *' neigh, and printers grab their shooting sticks."

Maddox delivered 1 a strong speech Tuesday in th“ House of Representatives in favor ’ of the income tax.—Ceda town ) Standard. According to the pipers both , Evans and Atkinson are platform democrats and both deserve the , everlasting gratitude of the party. The only difference in the fitness for ollice is that one of them had the misfortune to be born since the time of producing “Generals” We suggest that the State Conven tion toss “heads and tails” for . them.—Ellijay Conner. The Atkinson fboomlet seems to wear a worried look. —Macon News. The Macon scribe is too near sight' ed.

The Generals friends have found “one of his legs is longer than it really ought to be. The Iv/Mr. Hustler wants the boys to fall in at the head of the Atkinson column. What's the hurry, Byrdie; the head of the column is not crowd ed, it seems.—Brunswick Times. You “Rangers’* ought to scout up about the head of the gubernatorial procession, once in a while and see how very very very far behind your Atlanta candide is dropping.

Atkinson, in our opin ion, will be the next Governor of Georgia. We cannot call to mind a more worthy man, or one more com petent.—. Douglass Breeze. Right you are, Bro. Ward; we are glad to know that the Breeze sees the thing in the right light. The Breeze has never felt the pangs of defeat in this line, and we don’t believe it will ever have cause to regret its action in this matter.—Jesup Sentinel. Brethern, this paper is with you More than that, many of its readers are now in line and the hobby ridden “war record” will be compelled to put on more steam, else it will be relegated to the back ground. This paper honors surviving Confederate soldiers ae much as any oue, but the war io over. We are not in need, specially of soldiers in office. This paper does not, nor will it ever, raise any objection to a man because he served in the war, but at the same time it. is a pitiful cry. - Evans is au Atlanta mat and represents the Journal and the Constitution, who at Atlanta’s bidding do the lion and lamb act, \\ hen Atlanta is concerned she or ganizes clubs and is the most ac tive political community in the state, if Evans were the nominee and was closely pressed by the op. osition Atlanta would cast 20,000 votes—but with Atkinson, as de mocracy’s standard bearer Atlanta ] would probably }o 13,000 At anta 1 is a “lulu” for unadultirated sei- I fishness. ( Atlanta needs a new jail. She al- , read, h sa handsome new opera < house.—Macon News. | IT DOES,NT PAY. The Constitution has fired another editorial at Mr. A’kii -8i)i), asking that gentleman to with draw from the gubernatorial race in the luierest of party harmony. In behalf of General Evans’ can didacy, The Commercial desires t enter a friendly protest against the adoption of such tactics. No 1 goe d can coms of this toei’her the ' candidacy of General Evans or to the settlemei J >f competative cam paign differences. Mr. Atkinson is not interfering with party harmony in Georgia and if ho desires to remain in the fight to the close, that is his 1 business, and the Democracy of Georgia will enter no objection. In reply to the last suggestion on this line, Mr. Atkinson says: “Extend my compliments to the j editor and sugg st to him the ? propriety cf saving his advice 'for his own candidate; that I cann’ t allow General Evans’s manag rs 3 te direct my campaign I believe lb 1 ; people are with me iu nay race, and thus encouraged will try to get along without the support of I’he Constitution and the Atlanta j politician?. Later cn I expect to go Lefoie rhe people, and we shall then see whether there are any issues in . t is campaign worth the attention I of the honest voters of Georgia.” > The Commercial de«ires to offer 1 a suggestion to The Constitution. Suppose wc- get down to business and shape up for a good strong and victorious fight for General Evans—leaving Mr. Atkinson and his fnends to manage their cam paign as they see fit.
