TEE MEDICAL COLLEGE OF GEORGIA.
The Faculty of the Medical College hate
announced that the session of 1867-68 will
commence on Monday, 4th November, IS(><,
and end on Saturday, 3d March, 1808. Ihe
General Introductory will be delivered by
Prof. E. Geddings.
The Circular before us announcing these
facts, likewise sets forth, in a brief but
comprehensive summary, the changes inci
dent to the Institution and the peculiar ad
vantages possessed by it for the institution
of those who have determined upon the
profession of Medicine as a vocation or ac
complishment.
The retirement of Dr. I. P. Gakvin, who
has so long and so ably tilled the Chair ol
Materia Medica and Therapeutics, is feel
ingly alluded to and the “ best wishes of
liis old associates attend his withdrawal to
private life, gracefully wearing the honors
of an Institution to whose success he con
tributed so largely.”
Dr. \Vm. 11. Doughty has been selected
to till the place of Dr. Garvin. It is suffi
cient to say of Dr. Doughty that few men
of his age in the South have given more
solid promise of eminence.
A new branch lias been added, viz:
“ Operative Surgery and Surgical Anato
my.” Over this department the learned
Prof. Henry F. Campbell, late Professor
of Surgery in the New Orleans School of
Medicine, will preside. The Trustees and
Faculty “ warmly congratulate the friends
and patrons of tlie College upon this iin
portant. accession, and cordially welcome
the return of one of her most distinguished
Alumni, who now confers upon his Alma
Mater the richness of his own talents and
the influence of his eminent position in the
profession.”
The following gentlemen arc announced
as comprising the Faculty:
I. P. Garvin, M. 14., Emeritus Professor
of Materia Mcdica and Therapeutics.
Henry F. Campbell, M. D., Professor
of Operative Surgery and Surgical Anat
omy.
Joseph A. Eve, M. D., Professor of Ob
stetrics and Diseases of Women and In
fants.
L. D. Ford, M. D., Professor of the Insti
tutes and Practice of Medicine.
Edward Geddings, M. D., Professor o
Physiology and Pathological Anatomy.
George W. Rains, M. D., Professor of
Chemistry and Pharmacy.
DeSaussure Ford, M. D, Professor of
Anatomy.
Wm. H. Doughty, M. 1)., Professor of
Materia Mcdica, Therapeutics and Medical
Jurisprudence.
L. A. Dugas, M. D., Professor of the
Principles and Practice of Surgery and
Dean of the Faculty.
John S. Coleman, M. D., Demonstrator
of Anatomy.
Charles T. Rich, Janitor.
The clinical facilities of the College have
been greatly enlarged. In addition’to the
City Hospital, free access is allowed to the
Hospital established by the Freed men’s Bu
reau. This, says the circular, is a three
Story building, affording accommodations
for more than one hundred and I illy sick,
and presenting an average of from fifty to
eighty cases of ordinary acute and chronic
diseases, as well as surgical injuries. An
obstetrical ward is also connected with it.
Beside, the City Dispensary has I teen re
cently established at the Col lege. Over this
Dispensary the Faculty have full medical
control. It is open for attention to the
numerous sick from 3 to 5 o’clock, daily.
The patronage of this institution is neces
sarily very great, affording, if need be, a
daily clinic, calculated to prove of immense
advantage to the student by familiarizing
him with disease and thus giving a practi
cal turn to the theories of his books.
Private classes, the old system, have been
abolished ; in their stead each Professor
conducts a weekly examination to review
and enforce preceding lectures. A. thorough
trial of this measure, during the last ses
sion, is dwelt upon as most gratifying in its
successful results.
The College Library contains 5,000 vol
umes; the Museum is one of the best in the
United States, “tilled with rare pathologi
cal specimens; models in physiology, anat
omy and obstetrics; all kinds of surgical
instruments and appliances, together with
an ‘extensive mineral*>gical and geological
cabinet; also, of conchology, and of ornith
ology; numerous antiquities of the Abo
rigines, Egyptian Mummies, entire and in
fragments, etc.’ ”
The Anatomical Department is abundant
ly supplied with every requisite for practi
cal instruction, and will be opened for such
as desire it, on 15th October.
A (Summer or Preparatory School has
been inaugurated, of an elementary and
academic character. The Faculty, after
the experiments of last session, have de
cided to make this a permanent feature. It
lias “the (‘fleet of stimulating the interest
and ambition of the student; allows him to
state freely his difficulties; and affords the
teacher an admirable opportunity of eluci
dating obscure points and of impressing
important facts.”
The daily exercises will consist of four
recitations of one hour each, from Monday
to Friday of each week, the afternoon be
ing devoted to dissection, clinical exercises
and service at the Dispensary.
Every facility for clinical instruction as
well as for practical dissection, under the
supervision of the Professor of Anatomy,
will be afforded.
The term will commence on Monday, 17th
a April, 1868, and end on Friday, 31st July.
, • Fees (for the Course), ¥SO. in advance.
No charge for Matriculation Ticket.
No degrees will be conferred.
The circular, of which we have given an
abstract, and from which copiously quoted,
concludes thus:
“ With these evidences of preparation,
the claims of the Medical College of Geor
gia to the patronage of the medical public
of this and neighboring States, are respect
fully submitted. Nearly 1,100 graduates
have Left Uer-lialls to adorn the profession
of the South, and give character to its In
stitutions; of this number over 1,000 were
■ from Georgia, South Carolina and Ala
. bama, and proud of the lustre which their
fair record has shed upon their Alina Ma
ter, shejooks to them for that encourage
ment which is to make her future, as the
past has been, a crowning success.
J>' 1 All interested may feel assured that our !
present facilities for imparting a complete j
and thoroughly practical medical educa- <
tion, are not surpassed by any other insti- j
tution.”
Santa Ana, not Anna, is the correct spell- |

Maximilian.
Graphic Account of hi* Execution —He gives
a Kiss of Reconciliation to flue Mexican Peo
ple—lie Forgives Lopez his Treason and
if/xico her Grime —Affecting Letter to Car
lotta.
The Espcranza, of Querctaro, June 20,
publishes the following account of the exe
cution of Maximilian and his two Generals,
Don Tomas Mejia and Miguel Miramon:
before the execution. 4
The delay of thirty-four days which kept
our people so long in doubt and aroused so
much excitement, is thus accountcdjfor.—
The first courier that reached San Luis on
the morning of May 19, bearing the news
;of the capture, returned here only on the
22d, and the Emperor was at once notified
that he must appear before court martial.
He protested in writing, demanding to la
tried by the assembly of notables who had
called him to the throne.
The trial was postponed and a message
sent to the President, with the letter of pro
test and the documents that had been cap
tured. Juarez’s answer was received on
May 80. It was a refusal of the demand,
grounded on this incontestable fa,ct, that
the assembly of notables had not been con
voked by the head of the republic ; but, the
President, animated by a praiseworthy feel
ing, offered his safety to the Emperor on
condition of the latter taking an oatli never
again to tread on Mexican soil, and of his
signing at the same time his own downfall.
Os liis own accord, Maximilian said in a
loud voice that he would accept with pleas
ure this double condition, if the officers and
soldiers captured along with him were also
set free. At that time he was ignorant of
what had become of del Castillo and Avel
lano. Even this requirement was acceded
to; but it gave rise to conferences and ne
gotiations that could not fail to be unsuc
cessful.
Meantime a council of war was held on
the morning of July 11, presided over by
General Corona, and composed of Generals
Escobedo, Martinez, Ruiz and Negrete, with
two colonels. The three prisoners were
brought before the tribunal. Maximilian
refused to have any counsel; Mejia and
Miramon chose one for them both. We
have not been able to get any details of
that session, which lasted only about an
hour. The prisoners were found guilty,
and their condemnation, which was sent
forward to San Luis Potosi that very day,
was not returned confirmed until the morn
ing of July 18.
It is known that the President was all
along inclined to clemency; but our Minis
ter at Washington, Senor Romero, had car
ried the day and secured the order for his
execution, although full stress was laid
upon the fact of the small majority that
had voted in favor of the prisoner’s guilt.
As soon as General Corona got possession
of the necessary document the three prison
ers were informed of their fate, but they
manifested no surprise. Indeed, by this
time they had learned what had befallen
some of their con>rq,des.
THE LAST NIGHT.
Maximilian requested that they might be
allowed to remain together to the last.
This was kindly granted. They were trans
ferred to the old convent, which had an
swered as a hospital for the French troops,
and the principal half of which—on the
ground floor—was spacious and comfort
able. It was in this room that the hos
pital drug shop had been kept. The room
lias two windows looking out on the court
yard gardens. At one end of this room an
altar was prepared. The sentinels had or
ders to fire on any one who should attempt
cd to enter without a pass from Captain Gon
zales. At all events no one was permitted
at first to enter but Father Fischer, secre
tary and confessor of Maximilian. Later,
the'Bishop of Queretaro offered his services,
which were accepted after a aliqrt confer
ence between the prisoners. They passed
most of the night in conversation and in
preparing themselves for death. Miramon
suffered a great deal from his wound in tin
eye, which lie kept constantly bathing with
fresh water. Mejia slept soundly.
At one, time Maximilian asked for some
writing materials; these were got with
some difficulty, an it was in the middle of
night. lie wrote two letters, the first in
German, to the Archduchess Sophia, his
mother; the other to his wife. Me gave
both letters to the Bishop, requesting him
t,o see that they be delivered. He gave him
also a lock of hair which the wife of one
of liis guards requested permission to cut
off herself. Before giving the lock hair
lie kissed it, folded it up carefully and then
slipped it into the envelope already sealed
for liis wife.
About four o’clock Maximilian wished
mass to be said, which was done by the
bishop, after Mejia had been awakened.
All then received communion together.
After mass the Emperor remained a long
time kneeling on the hard stones—Ob’ they
had no prie dieu —with his eyes towards the
ground and liis head resting on his hand
in a pensive attitude. It is not known for
certain whether lie was praying or weep
ing. Miramon was pale and downcast.
Mejia seemed to be quite at ease. We
must bear in mind, however, that he was
an Indian, and that lie doomed it a glory to
die with liis sovereign.
LEAVING THE PRISON.
When seven o’clock had struck the mu
sic, of the solemn procession was heard ap
proaching, and Captain Gonzales entered
the chapel, with the bandages in his hands,
to cover the prisoners’ eyes. Miramon
quietly allowed him to cover liis eyes, but
Mejia refused, and as the captain was about
to take measures to overcome his resist
ance, the bishop uttered something to the
Indian chief, who at once became submis
sive. But the Emperor, advancing, de
clared that he would not allow his eyes to
be bandaged. After a few moments of hes
itation, Gonzales saluted Maximilian with
a ki ml look, and placed himself at the head
of the escort.
The procession at once fell into line. A
squadron of lancers led the way, followed
by the baud, which played a dead march.
A battalion of infantry formed two lines,
each four men deep, between which lines
were the prisoners. When the procession
reached the main door of the convent, Me
jia cried out, “ For the last time show us
again the example of your noble courage;
we follow in the footsteps of your Majesty.”
.1 ust at this moment the Franciscans were
passing. The first two bore the cross and
the holy water, the remainder bore lighted
tapers. Each of the three coffins was
borne by four Indians, and the three black
crosses, with the prisoners’ seats, were
borne along at the rear. Captain Gonzales
at this point made a sign to Maximilian to
step out into the street. He obeyed, ad
vancing very courageously, as he said, in
liis broken Spanish, Vamos nos n la liber tad.
(Let us advance to our freedom.)
THE EXECUTION.
The procession then wended its way
along the Calle del Cementerio behind the
church and along the route by the aqueduct .
In a short while it had the whole plain in
full view, and the view from below was im
posing indeed. The Emperor marched first,
with the Abbe Fischer on his right, and the
bishop on his left. Behind him came Mira
mon, resting on the arms of two Francis
cans, and Mejia supported by two priests
belonging to the parish of the Santa Cruz.
When they had reached the top of the
height de la Cainpana, Maximilian looked
fixed towards the rising sun ; then drawing
from his pocket his watch, touched its
spring and produced a miniature likeness
of the Empress Carlotta. He brought the
image to his lips, kissed it, and then hand
ing it by the chain to Father Fischer, said :
“ Carry this souvenir to Europe for my dear
wife; and should she ever be able to under
stand you, tell her that my eyes were closed
with her likeness, which I will bear with
me to heaven!” The point which the cor
tege had reached is near the big wall of the
cemetery. The bells of the churches were
tolling, and the immediate witnesses of the
seeue were but few, as the crowd had been
kept back by the soldiery.
The three black crosses and the prisoners’
benches were fixed against the wall, and
the three firing platoons—composed of five
men each, wtth two under officers to each
platoon in reserve for the coup de grace—
advanced to within three paces of the con
demned. The Emperor, when he heard the
clicking of the firelocks, thought they were
about to fire, and approaching his two com
panions embraced them with touching
earnestness. Miramon was so Affected that
he almost fell over on his seat, but the
Franciscan stretched his arms out in the
attitude-of a .cross. Mejia returned the
EmperoVs embrace with great affection and
nttered some broken words that no one
•ouid distinguish, and crossing his arms on
his breast stood up nobly. The bishop, ad
vancing to Maximilian, said: —“ Sire, in my
person, bestow upon all Mexico the kis s of
reconciliation. Let your Majesty for give
all at this supreme moment.” The Emperor,
agitated to the utmost, allowed the good
bishop to embrace him amid the most pro
found silence. All of a sudden raising his
voice, he cried out, “Tell Lopez that I for
give him his treason. Tell all Mexico that
I forgive her her crime.” He then shook
hands with the Abbe Fischer, who could
not utter a word from em6tion, and who
then fell on his knees at the Emperor’s feet
and shed copious tears while he kissed
Maximilian's hand. Many besides theabbe
were shedding tears also. The Emperor
gently withdrew his hands, and moving
forward said with a sad and apparently
ironic smile to the oilicer in command of the
tiring party. Alu disposition do V. (At your
disposal, sir.)
When flic officer gave tliesignal for “aim,”
Maximilian uttered something in German
which the report of the muskets drowned
to the hearers. Miramon rolled over as if
struck with a bolt. Mejia, who was stand
ing, beat the air with liis hands a few times
before he fell, and a shot in the ear finished
his pain. The Emperor fell over on the
cross, which kept him up, and from which
he was picked up after having been des
patched.
The interment took place in the cemetery,
aud the Bishop of Qaeretaro performed the
absolution.
after the execution
General Corona sent for the Bishop of Que
rctaro, and demanded the two letters which
Maximilian had given him. The one for
the Archduchess Sophia was left untouch
ed, as she is the mother of the condemned
Emperor, and could contain nothing dan
gerous. The letter to the Empress Carlotta,
for grave reasons of State that are quite
justifiable, was opened, and a copy was
taken by General Corona’s secretary. It
was written in French. The following is a
copy:
My Beloved Carlotta : If God permit
that your health get better and you should
read these few lines, you will learn the cru
elty- with which fate lias stricken me since
your departure for Europe. You took
along witli you not only my heart but my
good fortune. Why did I not give heed to
■ your voice V So many untoward events!
Alas! so many sudden blows have shatter
ed all my hopes, so that death is but a hap
py deliverance—not an agony—to me. I
shall die gloriously, like a soldier, like a
king vanquished, but not dishonored. If
your sufferings are too great, and God
should call you soon to join me, I shall
bless liis Divine hand which lias weighed
so heavilyjjupon us. Adieu, Adieu! Your
poor Max.

The United States Squadron off the

1 safe arrival at Simon’s Bay, South Africa,
\ after a most boisterous passage of thirty
two days from Rio. '(’lie dispatch is dated
1 May’ 28, and states that on the morning of
the Ifflh of the month, in latitude 32 de

The Future of Cotton. —A commercial
firm received a letter from a Manchester
(Lug.) correspondent, who gives the follow
ing conclusions in reference to the future
supply of cotton :
Manchester, Eng., >
June, 1867. \
il, appears to me that we are entering
upon a new state of affairs, which must be
taken into account:
1. The immense losses of the last twosea
sons have caused those that still stand up
to be more cautious, and have completely
used up the wild speculators and their
special supporters (the several banks) on
both sides of the water.
2. The supply of the raw material is
larger than was at first expected.
3. The probability that there is now on
this side a fair prospect of 2,500,000 for next
year.
4. The substitution of woolen and linen
goods in lieu of cotton, which it will take
some time to change again.
5. The general impression that cotton, as
well as everything, is too high, and must
come down in price before consumption can
attain its former proportions.
I Confession of a Murder Committed
. Thirty Years Ago.— The Worcester West
’ Chronicle publishes the following remark
’ able statement:
It will be remembered by many of our
» readers, that about thirty years ago there
; was considerable excitement in Royalston,
1 caused by the sudden disappearance f) f ;i '
. peddler, whose name was not known.
I Owing to a large amount of goods being
[ found in the possession of the man with
, whom he lodged on the night of his disap
pearance, it was surmised that he was mur
dered by him. A thorough search was
i made for the body, but no trace of it, could
be found. A few days ago the town was
again startled by the confession of John
Flagg, on his death-bed, residing at Troy,
N. H., lie being the man who was suspected
at the time of the peddler’s disappearance.
In his confession Flagg criminates a man
residing at Royalston at this time, whose
name we withhold for the present. Flagg
says that after murdering the man they
threw his body into a well, but fearing it
would be discovered, at the time of the
search, they removed it.
A Presidential Election in Hayti.—
It appears that Salnave, who lias stepped
into the shoes of Geffrard, and who is a
blacker and more ferocious looking African
than old Soulouqne, has consented to be
nominated for President of Hayti and try
the chances of ail election. Having the
bayonets behind him, for the present, of
course, lie will tie unanimously elected; but
then, when he finds his treasury short of
funds, as he will find it, the day of his elec
tion, and when lie proceeds to raise the
wind by a levy on his fellow citizens, he
M ill probably have to tight for his rights or
vacate the island on a short notice,Tike all
liis illustrious predecessors. The black re
publicans of Hayti, having one back prettv
much to the first principles of the African
system of doing as little work as possible
•cannot afford the expense of a costly gov
ernment ; and hence, as soon as any oiie of
their rulers begins to heather his nest, some 1
jealous conspirator, with a revolution at his
back, turns out the despot and takes his
place. Salnave, a charcoal black, is of the 1
orthodox color for Hayti, but his chances 1
of holding his office for more than a year or 1
two are rather dubious. Hayti will have 1
to be looked into and properly regulated !

Notes on the Situation.
iiY r,. n. iiill.
NUMBER VIII.
Even, then, if wc are really a conquered
people, 1 have shown that by the well-es
tablished rules of the laws of war and of
nations, wc are not “ subject to the will of
the conqueror,” except as that will was de
clared before the surrender, and, therefore,
agreed to by the surrender. I have shown
that any terms prescribed after the war is
over, and after a surrender is accepted, are
not only’ not binding on the conquered but
are infamous in the conqueror, and amount
to a new declaration of war against those
who were entrapped into laying down their
arms, and who are, therefore, for the time
being, helpless. And whether Congress or
the Executive, or both, as is variously
claimed, or whether the President and the
.Senate (as Is the truth), lie the peace mak
ing power ot the United States, I have
shown from the official records of each and
all, that the only conditions demanded of
the Southern people, in laying down their
arms, were the preservation of the Union
under the Constitution, with the single
change of the abolition of slavery, which
single change was very doubtfully and im
perfectly demanded, but was very promptly
and cheerfully yielded.
No principles, than those I have an
nounced, arc better settled, or more iu con
sonance with natural reason anil justice ;
no terms were ever more distinctly declared
as the purpose of waging the war, or more
sacredly promised as the conditions of the
peace ; and no surrendering people ever did
more promptly, more absolutely, more sub
missively, or with one-tenth the sacrifice of
property and hope and pride and feeling,
comply with all the terms demanded on
their part, than did the Southern States
and people. They laid down their arms ;
they gave up the great principle of govern
ment which their fathers taught them never
to yield, and to maintain which they had
fought so long and endured so much ;
though already impoverished they gave lip
four billions more of property—the descend
ed patrimony of centuries ; they struck the
fetters from tlieir slaves by their own con
sent, and, with words of encouragement
and hope, gave the freed slaves, by their
own laws, absolute civil equality with their
former owners ; they abided, without com
plaint or claim for damages, the burning of
their cities ; the devastation of their homes;
ihe destruction of the food for their women
and children, and a thousand other acts of
war which no civilized code will justify,
and no civilized precedent will mitigate ;
they changed their organic laws, and re
digested their municipal codes to conform
them to the new order of tilings. They re
pudiated the obligations and contracts
they had assumed to their own people
and to mankind to secure help iu what
they had deemed a struggle for liberty aud
life. They hazarded a social revolution
aud a paralysis of every form of labor,
which might well have awed the most
thrifty people and the most firmly estab
lished society. All these things they did,
and suffered to show good faith in fnltill
ing the obligations of their surrender, to
maintain the Constitution and preserve the
Union. Yet two long years have elapsed,
and they have not been permitted to enjoy
a single privilege, nor suffered to escape a
single burden of that Union! Nay, while
waiting to receive what was so earnestly,
so sacredly promised—tlieir recognition
as equals in the Union—the)’ have seen
swarms of agents of the United States per
meating every neighborhood of their land,
and stealing, in the name and by the per
mits of the Government, and carrying away
their cotton aud other remaining means
with which they had hoped to begin the
recuperation of their condition ; and they
see continued among them a hybrid insti
tution, born in war and unknown to the
Constitution, with a crowd of officers to
execute its functions, many of whom make
companions of tlieir former slaves to l’o
mt nt hatred lo the Southern whites, and
some of whom find mistresses among their
former slaves, and use l heir offices to levy
black mail on all classes for their support.
And all these tilings, and more, our peo
ple bear, and speak about only in whis
pers, lest by resisting and resenting the
oil . rages of even robbers and vagabonds,
l ltey furnish to those rubbers and vagabonds
| Ihe pretence Ibr the charge of a lingering
spirit ofr eliellion against the Government!
And now we are told, by these Military
liills, that (lie very constitutions itml gov
ernments we so promptly and so subniis
. sively formed and organized in order to
■ liillill all the possible obligations of our sur
render, must he abrogated and annulled ;
that new constitutions must be organized,
in which our funner slaves arc all to par
ticipate, and from which every intelligent
and virtuous man whom our people have
deemed worthy of trust and confidence at
any l ime during his whole life, shall be for
ever excluded. To this new goveriuipmt
! tlie negro race is to consent for the white
race, and by it the emigrant robber and
vagabond, With their bribed Southern co
adjutor, are to rule both races. And until
this oppression shall be fixed upon us, and
made part of the irremediable law of the
land, and shall receive the approval of the
authors of these bills, who arc never to be
subject to 1 he government they thus dictate
our people are to live under military sur
veillance, subject to charge without crime,
to arrest without warrant, to warrant with
out oath, to trigl without jury, to impris
onment without remedy for release, to rob
bery without appeal for redress, and to
death wit hunt any process of law !
Even this bitter cup of hellish ingredients
might, be drank, but for the nausea which
makes us vomit when we see it commended
to us—urged upon us by some wild we if
born among us—who have been often trust
ed and honored byiis; nay, by those who
hurried us into secession to get our rights,
to save our honor and “ to avoid equality
with the negro;” who assured us seeessiuu
would be peaceable, and, who, alter secess
ion, did all ttiey could to provoke a war;
who pledged us the “ last man and the last
dollar” if the war should come, and who
employed their talents in discouraging the
men, in quarreling with ourselves and in
making money when the vyar did come:
who bravely promised us that no enemy
should invade our soil without “marching
over their dead bodies,” but who, when the
enemy came, only bet rayed us to subjuga
tion; who now inform us of their confi
dential receptions into the councils of our
oppressors, and can bring from those coun
cils only the assurance that, unless wedrink
this cup, one more bitter shall lie provided.
And, as evidence of fidelity, wisdom agd
kindness in all 11 • i thej are willing to sub
mit to their own disfranchisement, and,
therefore, can have no possible motive but
our good !
The Constitution is violated ; the laws of
nations are defied ; the pledged l'aith of the
nation is mocked; and unresisting people
we are warred on; a disarmed people are
insulted ; an impoverished people are op
pressed ; a trusting people are betrayed;
the Union is rent wider and wider and even
wider asunder, and all, all by those who ■
load the weary air with constant loud pro
claims that they alone are loyal, or wise, or
true!
“ Alas I our country ‘inks beneath the yoke;
It weep?, it bleeds, mid each new day a gash

Death of an Old Citizen.— We arc pained
to announce the death of an old and esteemed
citizen, one who has served through several
generations, and departs regretted by all who
knew him. He died at the ripe age of eighty*
six years, nine months and tweuty-lour days.
Mr. Win. C. Wylly, father of George W. Wylly,
of the City Council, was born iu South Caro
lina, and in infancy was moved to Savannah,
Ga. He lived tlie greater portion of his life in
this city. He served in the war of IKI2, in the
defense ot the flag of his country. He was in
the Custom House as United States Inspector
for nearly a quarter ol a century. He was, at
the time ol his death, one of the oldest citizens
ot Savannah. —Savannah News 8, Herald, 24 th.

Which?
The following tolls its own story, and a beautiful
ono it is too—to be read best and sounding sweeter
when tlio family circle have gathered around the eve
ning lamp, perhaps :
“ Which shall it be t which shall it he t"
I looked at John —John looked at me,
(Dear, patient John, wiio loves me yet
As well as tlio’ my locks were jet.)
Aud when I found that I must speak,
Mv voice scorned strangely low and weak,
“ Tell me again wlmt Robert said '<"
And then I list’uing bent my head.
“ This is ids letter:—
“I will give
A house and land while you shall live,
If, ill return, from out your seven,
One child to me for aye is given.”
I looked at John’s old garments worn,
I thought of all that John hud borne
Os poverty aud work and care,
Which 1, though willing, could not spare,
I thought of seven mouths to feed,
Os seven little children’s need,
And then of this.
“ Come, John,” said I,
“ We’ll choose among them as they lie
Asleep so walking hand in hand.
Dear John and I surveyed our baud.
First to tlio cradle lightly stepped
Where Lilian, tlio baby, slept,
A g ory ’gnlnst tlio pillow white,
Hoftiy her father stooped to lay
Ilia rough hand down in loving way.
When dream or whisper made her stir.
And huskily he said, “ Not her—not her.”
We stooped beside the trundle-bed
And one long ray of lamp light shed
Athwart the boyish faces there
In sleep so pitiful and fair;
I saw on Jamie’s rough, red cheek
A tear undried. Ere John could speak,
“ He’s but a baby too,” said I,
And kissed him as we hurried by,
l’ale, patient Robbie’s angel face,
tdill in his sleep bore suHniiig’s trace.
“ No, for a thousand crowns not him,”
He whispesed, while our eyes were dim.
Poor Dick! had Dick I our wayward son.
Turbulent, reckless, idle one—
Could he he spared i “ Nay, he who gave,
Bids us befriend him to the grave;
Only a mother’s heart can he
Papent enough for such as he ;
And so,” said John, “I would not dare
To send him from her bedside prayer,"
Then stole we softly up above
And knelt hy Mary, child of love.
“ Perhaps for her ’Lwould better Is',”
I said to John, fjuite silently
He lifted up a curl that lay
Across her cheek iu wilful way,
And shook his head. “Nay, love, not thee ”
Tile while my heart beat audibly,
Only one more, our eldest lad,
Trusty and tiutliful, good and glad—
Ho like his lather. ‘* CSo, John, no—
I cannot, will not let him go.”
And so we wrote in courteous way
We could not drive one child away;
And afterward toil lighter seemed.
Thinking of that ot which we dreamed,
Happy in truth that not one face
Wo missed Horn its accustomed place;
Thankful to work lor nil tlio seven,
Trusting the rest to One in Heaven I

Cotton Packing.—We call attention to the
:> advertisement ol Mr. P. Malone, relative to
’’ VVright’s Patent Improved Iron Screw for
j packing cotton and liay. Particular reference
. is made to four points of excellence:
; 1. Its Simplicity. —lt is a new and Improved
t application of the screw power; just as simple
> in its construction as the old-fashioned wooden
! screw, and just as easily managed, and no
* more liable to get out of order. No ropes or
pullies are used as In the cotton presses.
( 9. its Economy.—lt has been demonstrated
■ by actual experiment to be cheaper than the
- wooden screw. The timbers used in its con
struction are much smaller ami fewer than
those employed in the old screw ; the levers
- being only lfi feet long, and the height of the
whole frame above the lied being only 10 feet,.
I. All these. Umbers can be procured on the plan
tation, no matter bow exhausted the forest.—
■ Any ordinary wood workman can build the
frame, and half a dozen hands will put it up
• iu a few hours.
S. its Durability. —The screw and nut are of
iron, and will last tor years without any appre
ciable wear. The whole machine occupies so
little space that it can he completely covered at
very small cast.
4. Its Power. —With a lever only sixteen feet
long, one mule is sufficient tor packing the
heaviest bales.
Burke’s Weeklt.—This excellent little
paper for boys and girls will shortly begiu tbc
publication of a thrilling story or life in
Texas, during the early history of that State.
It Is from the pen of a talented Floridian, now
resident in Texas, and the pictures are drawn
from life. He was one of the survivors of Fan
nin’s ill-fated band ; was with that brave officer
when he was captured, and was left by the
Mexicans for dead, alter the inhuman butchery
of his brave associates. In this narrative he de
tails his marvellous escape at that time, and his
wanderings for weeks, while attempting to
reach the while settlements. A competent
critic has read the manuscript and pronounces 1
it equal, in point of thrilling interest, to the
best of Mayne Reid’s stories, while it possesses
the additional merit of being founded on fact.

..a J XTKACTH FROM LETTERS «The Queen’s
Delight is beginning to awaken the attention of onr
l. physicians. Its remarkable curative power Is seen In
s Hh wonderful effect ivmm i Dense. As r, blood purifier,
there is no medicine tike it known to the profession.
A gentleman tolil me that his son \, aM been taking tlie
~ Q'DO'u’h Delight, and is more lier.olttted by it tlian by
n any other ineJieiue. lie wants a dozen bottles.”
Extract from a letter: “It is duo to you to state, in
ll t,,iß P nWln manner,ln order ibnt the peop <• may know
tiie. truth, that X have trios’, your Queen’s Delight, and
found it not only wliat you said it was ‘a pure medi
cine’-hut tl.lo best medicine 1 have ever taken for
mq,lions and general had health. 1 had an eruption
all over illy body, with impaired digestion and disor
diic il liver, and have tried a great many medicines
- without any benefit. I have taken one bottle of your
I ,u>ou '‘ Delight, the. eruption lias disappeared, my
appetite Is belter, my liver and digestion is improved.
X am satisfied one or two more bottles will cure me.”
Extract from a letter: “At the close ofthe war rav
constitution was shattered. I could not eat, Bleep m
perform any duty whatever, such was my prostrate
condition. Medicine and medical aid I had in abend
, anco such was my condition up to a few- monthasip co,
when 1 began the use of your Queen’s Delight. I’iave
| used two bottles, my constitution is greatly improved
my appetite is good, enjoy refreshing sleep, ant j ftm ’
• aide lo perform my share of daily labor.”
Exiract from a letter-wonderful effect of only one
bottle: “1 have used on’yahalf bottle or ‘Queen’s
Delight’ for boils and eruptions of the skin and itch
ing humors of the blood, which annoy, -d me very
much. lam entirely cured. X think you, medicine a
valuable one.”
A remarkable case of liver complaint i,ml headache
cured by the use ol “ Hcinitsh’s Queen’s Delight:” A
lady of unquestioned worth nud reputation voluntarily
gives testimony of the wonderful effects of tliis medi
cine. She lias been from early yea's a martyr to head
aches, caused by imperfect action of the liver, produc
ing intense headache and pain over the eyes. She has
taken only tour bottles, and assures us of the perfect
cure it has made. Site now enjoys good health.
Still another: “During last Spring I had been
troubled with obstinate chills and fever, which, when
cured, left my system in a wretched condition- blood
impnre, and 1 was afflicted with an angry, and, as I at
one time thought, an incurable cutaneous eruption
over my entire Xsidy. The most violent remedies sug
gested failed to work a cure, until, at the instance of a
friend, I tried Dr. Itoinitsli’s Queen’s Delight. l,es»
than two boll les cured me, leaving uiy skin in a heaiihy
' condition. My general health is as good as ever. For
such purposes X have, ever since my euro, unhesita
tingly recommended your Queen’s Delight.”
Don't buy any lint the right kind. Alt genuine
Queen’s Delight has the copy-right mark on the out
side, and it is the only medicine which produces thesis
wonderful cures.
