Wall Street at fl tonight.
BY BAKU KL BARBZR.
Like Mimfl deserted castle, thou art now
Silent and gloomy : no directors hold
Their stately court where needy sopp'iants bow
With trembling hearts ; no brokers thirst for
gold.
Old Trinity looks down upon thy pave
In seeming wonder. Where are the absentees
Who late were borne on Fortune’s treacherous
wave,
Spreading their sails to catch the slightest
breeze ?
Flown, like a flock of pigeons to their roost ;
Dreaming of Fortune’s overflowing cup—
How storks can be diluted or reduced,
but still like fleecy clouds kept moving op.
'Tis true, dame Fortune here will frown on
some,
Perchance on others sm'le in playful freak,
And sometimes sends them all to kingdom
come—
Like wounded canvas-backs in Chesapeake,
When one retires another takes his place ;
One bubble burst another soon will rise ;
Men fill the ranks all eager for the chase,
Anxious to win and carry off the pr<zj.
But let us pause and muse in serious though t
’1 be silent marble oiten teaches more
Than orators or sages who have sought
To mystify the world with classic lore.
Upon each Parian slab there seems pngraved
A record of the past in bold relief;
Where Mammon’s thoughtless victim was en
slaved
And on this polished stone inscribes his brief.
Jt tells of toilsome days and sleepless nights—
Os fortunes in the distance, seeming near,
Receding from the grasp while Hope invites
Pursuit, until at last they disappear.
It tells of treasures won and treasures lost,
Os merchant princes basking in the beams
Os summer sk es, until a killing frost
Nips their fair hopes and disipates their
dreams.
Perhaps the stoics in their price will gay
That Wall street life is time misspent ; and
then
Attempt to prove its business mere child’s play.
I beg to differ from these gentlemen.
Along the margin of th“se shifting sands
There flows a deep and fertil'ziog stream;
While capital and labor here shake hauds
On equal terms with mutual esteem.
Inclosed within these massive walls there rests
The hope of millions; every clime and age
Are represented in these granite chests,
Their names recorded on the mystic page.
lu this contracted space, this narrow point,
The wealth of every land is freely poured:
A screw loose here the world is out of joint
Until the equilibrium is restored.
Here character is cast in iron mould,
And tempered to endure the rudest test;
Grows brighter when exposed to heat and cold,
Like gold, when purified by alchemist.
Here thoughts intrusted to the glowing wire,
With light,ninig speed fly over laud and saa ;
Awake to life the world’s commercial lyre,
And give its chords their vital energy.
As when the crystal lake its pebbles lave,
Responsive to each impress of the oar,
Thus wii! a key touched here impel a wave
That reaches to the earth’s remotest shore.
Wall street! thou art the nation’s polar star,
Whoso light is watched with more than eager
ga/.e;
Financial mariners discern after
The bright reflection of tby gildel rays.
Though thou art noiseless now, thy lamps burn
low,
And damp and chill the poet’s linted seat,
To-morrow’s sun will sse thee overflow
With busy life revolving through the street.
EVfiOFKRKOB AI.UOT TO HORACE GREELEY.
To Horace Greeley, Dsq., Editor of the New
Turk Tribune :
Bur—ln your valuable paper of the 22d ult.,
and in subsequent numbers, we are pained to
see several articles written against the unfor
tunate exiles tiom the United States. We
think it a very unlair, ungenerous and unkind
spirit The men of whom you have Hpoken so
flippantly and ho lightly are many of thim of
your iigo and deserve to say the leas*, a re
speettni notice at your hands. We regret this
the more, Mr. Greeley, because we have al
ways believed you to be honest in your po
litical views and above the miserable preju
dices of the hour. That while differing in
political opinions from your brethren of the
Mouth, you had manliness enough to attribute
to them equal sine rity of purpose. You up
braid us and abuse us for quitting our native
land and coming to Mexico, when you knew
vevy well that there was full many a Federal
prison “gaping to receive us.” When we left
our country nil the Governors of the seceded
States had either been arrested, or ordors to
that effect hid been issued. It was also gen
erally believed that every Confederate Gen
eral and statesman would be arrested and
turned over to the tender mercies of a court
martial. We can safely say that if any guaran
tee had boon held out that we would not have
been disturbed, none ol us would have expa
triated ourselves. You, sir, would have done
just ns we did, uulees you had been desirous of
wearing the martyr’s crown. You first abuse
us for being rebels nud then denounce us for
settling iu Mexico. Where else, in the name
of Heaven, could we go ? We could not go
North, nor East, nor West ; we were com
pelled to come oouth as the only outlet for
those who would seek refuge in a foreign land.
Ween the Irish, Canadian, and Cuban patriots
—when the Hungarian, Polish and Italian ex.
ilea lied to your shoros, you, sir, have opened
your heart, and with true Christian philan
thropy you have extended to the n your
warmest sympathy ; but when your own
countrymen, stripped of all their earthly
goods, are expatriated, and laboring with
their own bauds for an humble living—for
bread with which to keep life atioat--strange
to say, you can fiud in your heart no sympa
thy, no word of encouragement—but rather
the cool sarcasm and the ribald jest.
We hive been very kiudly received by
the Earperor Maximilian and the Empress
Carlota. The have permitted us, poor and
penniless, to remain in this empire, aud to
breathe the fresh, pure air of the lovely cli
mate. They have exhibited to us the same
generous sympathy which you and your gov
ernment have ever shown to all exiles from
fore go lands. For this we are deeply sensible,
ami will ever feel grateful to their majesties.
N'.ili, none of us have entered into the military
service of the empire. To our personal know
ledge, many have applied for service, but the
Emperor has invariably declined. Out ot the
large number ot confederates now in this em
pire. none are heard to denounce their native
land. There are uo juntas or secret gather
ings to plot against the land of their birth
\ou have never seen, and never will see in
this paper the Mexican Times—an editorial
denouncing the United States Government.
Now. Mr. GreeUy. why can’t you let us alone?
Sir, Christian charity, common decency, and
tair play would say.” “let them aloue ; we are
free of them : let them live aud die in peace/’
We have never injured you ; we don’t know
you :we have uo desire even to form your ac
quaintance ; but we beg you to let us alone.
We know that you hate us. and that if you
had the power you would not only persecute
us to death ia this werld, but consign us to
that lake In the next “which burueth with fire
and brimstone forever.”
The man who has once been a slave holder
and a rebel can never enter “your heaven."
In this very charitable judgment of yours,
we believe that the Christian world will beg
leave to respectfully differ, for in their opin
ion George Washington and Stonewa.l Jackson
stand to-day as wed justified in the sight of
Alm ghty God as George the 111 or Abraham
Lincoln. We believe that the soldiers of the
federal and Confederate atrnies, who fell in
battle or died of disease, will stand at the
bar ot God and be judged alike, irrespective
of therr political ton-ts. You, sir, Lave ar
l“tJage alctted by the Psalmist, aud
J’ h ° K-morai order of things, be soon
gathered to your fathers. You will die rich
roiling in wealth, while the unfortunate men
whom you daily abuse will leave behind them
scarcely enough to secure a decent burial
\\ e say that the time will soon come when you
shall die and be bmred. We will m-et f or
each must appear before the Great Judge to
answer for the sins committed on this earth.
You will staud forth as the wealthy Mr Gree
ley, with a copy of the late Tribune-the work
of your long life—aud you will thauk God
that you are not like the rebel slave-holder
at whom vou w 1! point with scorn and con ’
tempt. We will appear with oar broken
sword in our hand aud kneel for pardon at
the mercy seat God will judge us both
Now, Mr. Greeley, we must" part till that
great day—that day of wrath—when we shall
meet face to face. There was once in the
classic land of the east, a prophetess" who
foretold the downfall ofter native laud, but
her countrymen refused to believe her omit
too late—when her prophecy was accomplish
ed . tihe said :
‘•The day shall come -that great, avenging
day—
When Troy's pioud glory in the dust shall
lay;
When Priam's power and Priam’s self shall
fall,
And one prodigious ruin swallow all.’’
The text is in Homer : yon can make your
own commentary. We have seen the aged
grandsire, not like BMisarius, begging in the
streets, but working with his own hands for
his daily bread; we have seen the noble, mid
dle-aged soldier, who had laced death on a
hundred battlt*fields, toiling from ••early morn
to dewy eve,” to earn a tew dolla r s to send
back to his young wife ar.d babes. We have
seen men who had filled hi. h political stations
and been an honor to their country submit
without a murmur, to ail the discomforts of
cruel poverty and exile We have seen the
brave exile stretched upon his dying bed, and
as his hour of dissolution appioached, we have
witnessed his tears of affection, and heard his
larewell words and messages sent to kindred
and friends in tatherland. But for ail this you
have no sympathy You will atiswer with a
ribald sneer or a “fool-bom jest ” You may
have bceu right in suppressing the revolution,
hut no man or woman who has one particle cf
Christian charity left in his or her bosom, will
sustain you in persecuting the conqueied
South, or pursuing with such vindictive hate
the patriot exiles
We have the honor to re.
epectfuily, your most ob’t serv’t.

Georgia Baptist Convention
This body met at Macon on Friday. We con'
dense the proceedings of Friday and Saturday
from the Telegraph.
fibst day |
At 1 1 o’clock in the morning the Introducto
tory Sermon was preached by Rev. B. F. Tharp,
ol Perry Ga., and was an able and eloquent dis
course.
The body assembled for buisness at 2 p. m.,
when Rev. P. H. Mell, D. D., was elected
President, Rev. J. F. Dagg, Clerk, and Rev. D.
Will. (Iwin, Assistant Clerk.
The usual Committees on Religious Excer
ciscs, Business, and Finance, were appointed,
and visiting brethren from Virginia, Alabama,
Tennessee, were recognized as correspondents.
The body adjourned till 9 o’eioek Saturday
morning—the hours of meeting being 9 and 3,
and those of adjournment being 12£ and 5.
'Phis Convention is not ajudicatory body—it
possesses no jurisdictiou, eclesiastical or oth
wise, over the Baptists of Georgia. It is sim
ply an educational and missionary body, formed
for the purpose of combining and encouraging
the efforts ol the Baptists of Georgia in those two
great channels of usefulness. It unites with
the Southern Badtist Convention, through which
most of the Southern Baptists operate, in prog'
e 'uting Domestis, Foreign, and Indian Mis
sions, encouraging and organizing Sabbath,
School literature, and in spreading thWord of
God. It has under itscontrol Meacer Universi
ty, of that state, at Penfield, and the Hearn
School, at Cave Spring, Ga., the former before
enjoying an endowment of about $200,000,
and supervised by a Board of Trustees.
Committees appointed by the President of
the Convention, make special Reports to it
on a variety of topics ; but these are consider
ed merely advisory by the denomination, and
though adopted, possess no binding lorce upon
the different churches. The delegates gener
ally are appointed aud cent by the different
Baptist associations of the State, which have
connected themselves with the Convention,
which associations, themselves iormed by
delegates sent by individual churches, are
nothing but missionary bodies, on a smaller
scale. Each association sends up an amount ot
money, designated for some particular channel
and the sum total is accordingly appropriated,
as directed, by the Convention, Each State
has its own Convention which sends its dele
gates|and funds to the Southern Baptist Con
veutiou, by which the money is expended
through Boards appointed for the purpose
that Convention now has three Boards—one
of Foreign Missions—and a Sabbath School
Board. It formerly had a Bible Board, which
was discontinued duriug the war.
The Georgia Baptist Convention generally
has in attendance the masterminds, and most
eloquent preachers of the denomination in our
State.

Rev. Sylvanus Landrum, rea 1 an interesting
report on the condition of Mercer University.
The report alluded, in touching lauguage, to
tbo death ot Rev. Charles Dutton M »!la-y,
lately deceased, one of the members of the
Board of Trustees of the University. The re
port of the Treasurer of the University, shows
that tho endownment of Mercer University,
amounts now to about #144 793 47, having
suffered a diminution of about t 30,000. The
reports referred to, produced an agreeable sur
prise ou the part of the delegate", as no such
good results seem to have been looked for.—
The good management of these trust lunds,
and tho preservation of them with so little im
pairment during the finauciil derangements of
the past five years, are mainly due, under
Providence, to the skill aud ability of the
Treasurer, T. J. Burney, of Madison, Ga.
The next meeting of tho Convention was
appointed at Columbus, Georgia

The Convention re-assembled, prayer by

eubmitte i a report on the subject of educa
tion, which was adopted.
Rev. E Dyer offered the following.
Resolved, I hat the Georgia Baptist Con
vention do most emphatically endorse the
views of Brother H 11. Tucker, as expressed
in the Christian Index and South-Western
Baptist, in reference to the proposed Confer
ence to be held between the Baptists and
Campbellites, with a view to the union of the
two denominations, as published in the Reli
gions Herald, of Richmond, Virginia.
Rtv. C. M. Irwin, moved that the resolution

a substitute.
Resolved, That the Convention is opposed
to the policy, as proposed by tho Religious
Herald, ot bolding Conventions with members

ion.
Considerable discussion arose ou these
resolutions.
Rev. J. F. Dagg moved to amend the sub
stitute by striking out all after the word
“Resolved” and insert the following : “That
in the judgment of this Convention the differ
ences between Baptists and Campbellites are
snch as to render any attempt to effect a
union between the two denominations unde
sirable and pernicious.”

Rev. Mr. Moreland offered the following :
Whereas many of our churches and church

whereas, in our opinion they are exceedingly
destructive to religious vitality and spiritality,
therefore,
Resolved, That the Georgia Baptist State
Convention lend its icllueuce in behalf of
Christianity hy expressing its entire disappro
bation of dancing, playing cards even for
amusement, visiting theatres or circuses, ani
drinkiDg of spiritous liquors as a beverage.
Rev. Jesse H. Campbell moved that the
resolution bo postponed indefinitely.
Much discussion arose on the subject—a

tion.

A Good Deal Mixed.
Under this head the Cincinnati Commercial
has a humorous description of the status of the
respective editors of the Times and Enquirer of
that city. We copy :
As politics makes strange bedfellows, so a
great tiro may result, for a time, in queer com
minglings. While the Enquirer people are
constructing anew establishment, in place of
the one burned, that paper is being printed at
the Times office. The editorial corps occupy
the same room. Wo can imagine the embar
rassment that must result from such a mingling
of political antipodes: Abolition editors on
one side of the table, and„Democratic editors
on the other, peppering away at each other
with deadly lead (pencil,) and thrusting
vicious stabs at each other with steel (pen,) to
say nothing of the clash of resounding scissors,
which play no unimportant part in the engage
ment. Just think, nothing but a narrow table
between such fiery belligerants. One side try
ing to haul ten States into the Union by the
collars of their gray jackets, and the other
side endeavoring to keep them out by tugging
at their abbreviated coat tails. Between them
the States are having a tough time of it.
Enquirer editor is horrified at finding himself
writing in favor of the Civil Rights bill,
and discovers that he has got on the wrong
side of the table. Times editor, making a
similar mistake, finds himself eu ogizing
Andy Johnson. The “clippings’’ get mixed
up ou their way to the compositors, and if it
were not for great circumspection on the part
of the respective loremen, each paper would
copy and endorse the most pernicious doctrine.
Suppose the pressman should print the En
quirer on one side aud the Times on the other
the mistake not being discovered until several
packages had been sent off with the early
mails. Who can picture the consternation
which would seize the respective proprietors ?
Boiling with rage, they rush to the press room
together, and discharge the unfortunate press
man with one voice. The indignation of the
Enquirer folks is only equalled by tho shame
of the Times people. Both assert .with equal
bitterness that they were never so humiliated
before/
It must be very confusing to visitors, this
singular fellowship. A copperhead, from
Holmes county, rushes in, grasps Times editor
warmly by the baud, under the impression
that he is editor of the Enquirer, assuring him
that “Holmescounty can’t be drafted.’’ He
don’t know the war is over. Malignant Radi
cal mistakes Enquirer editor for Times editor,
and, thinking to curry favor with him, chuck
les over the destruction of the Enquirer estalr
lishment. He is summarily kicked down stairs
by the combined editors of the two papers.
What a scene election night must present as
the returns come in, each side of the table try
ing to figure out a victory, and each side, of
course, claiming it. A frantic struggle be
tween the Times and the Enquirer man, as
each tries to thrust his flag out of the same
window—compromised at last by hanging
them from different stories, which is quite ap
propriate, from the fact that they tell different
stories about the election. A brass band is
played in front of the office. The serenade is
claimed alike by the Times editor and the Eu
uirer editor. They appear at different win
dows and return their thanks, both speaking
together, which confuses the band to such an
extent that they march off in sever il direc
tions, each man playing a different tune. It
is a terrible mix, take it altogether.
A 5-ham Exposed.—The s>habp Trick of an
Impostor. —We published a few days since an
exceedingly pathetic account of the death, by
drowning at sea, off the coast of Cuba, of Colo
nel C. B. Brent, late of the Confederate army.
From information we have since received, we
surmise that the individual whose gallanty was
so highly extolled, was the author of his own
touching orbituary.
So late as the last week in March, Colonel
Brent was at the Villa Vista plantation, Car
roll parish, Lousiana, acting on the role of
Lovelace, for which he was famous during the
w ar. \\ hile attached to the command of Gen
eral Morgan, he was very much devoted to an
estimable young lady of Wytheville, Va. ; but
in the midst of the courtship it was discovered
that Brent had a wife and two children in Alexs
andria, la. It was a long and determined pur
pose with him to disenthral himself from the
meshes of his original matrimonial estate, and
doubtless the canard he has now set afloat is
w ith the intention of deceiving his unfortunate
V irginia wife, and the further object of entrap
ping some unwary young lady.
We are sorry to be obliged to destroy so fine a
story as that of the death of Brent. Doubtless
were it true, it would be best for himself, for his
family, the susceptible of the female race, and
the whole world. —Louisville Courier, 14th.J
[ln reply to the following pleasant invoca
tion for our “thoughts” cn disloyalty, we beg
respectfully to assure our fair correspondents
that we share, to the fullest extent, their weari
ness of the tfceme ; but fear that anything we
ran say on the subject will only be furinshing
papulvm for the incorrigible fifteen, at Wash
ington, who construe all utterances on the
subject, from this latitude, into evidences of
lurking treason:]
Disloyal 1
[Respectfully inscribed to the Editors of the
Chronicle & Sentinel .]
“by a number of i.adies.”
Wo wish your “thoughts,” our worthy friend.
About this great “disloyal” row ;
Oh 1 wil! it never have an end—
This dire fanatical bow-wow ?
Its din has sounded in our ears
From week to week and dav to day,
Through four long, weary, weary years—
When will it cease, O 1 tell us, pray ?
And tell us, also, if you can.
What these “disloyal shriekers” mean,
Who are daily trying 60me new plan
To show how wicked we have been ?
They sing of all disloyal things
That e’er was seen, or heard, or known,
And every morn and evening brings
The same disloyal monotone.
Disloyal are our States and towns ;
Disloyal are our boys and men ;
Disloyal smiles, disloyal frowns—
When will it end, O! tell us when ?
Our people read disloyal books,
And sometimes sing disloyal songs ;
Our ladies cast disloyal looks
When •‘loyalty’' the side-walk throngs.
We feel disloyal hopes and fears ;
Disloyal joy, disloyal grief;
But now prepare to shed yoar tears—
We eat “disloyal” bread and beef !
But, as the preachers sometimes say,
We leave the subject with you now ;
And soon we hope to see the day
Which winds up this disloyal row.
Augusta, April 14th, 1860.
Gen. Lee’s Atldre-s to the Army.
Entertaining the opinion that many of our
readers may have failed to obtain copies of
Gen. Lee’B address to the army, issued after
the surrender to Gen. Grant, at Appomatox
C. H., ou Sunday, April 9th, 1865, aud believ
ing that numbers of them would be glad to
secure it for their scrap book, we reproduce it:
Headquarters Army Northern Va , }
April 10, 1865. \
General Orders, No. 9.
After four years of arduous service, marked
by unsurpassed courage and fortitude, the
Army of Northern Virginia has been compelled
to yield to overwhelming numbers and re
sources.
I need not tell the brave survivors of so
many hard fought battles who have remained
steadfast to the last, that I have consented to
this result, from no distrust of them. But feel -
ing that valor and devotion could accomplish
nothing that could compensate tor the loss
that would have attended the continuance of
the contest, I determined to avoid the use
less Bacrifiee ot those whose past services have

Purging the Senate-Why not revive the
‘>Blue Laws.
The radicals are considering the policy of
expelling McDougald for drur.kenees, tbeHpns
orable Garrett Davis oUKentukyand the Hon.
Mr. Saulsbury of Delaware, for alleged “dis
loyalty,” and forcing the resignation of Sena
tor Cowan of Pennsylvania, and Senator
Doolittle of on the false plea that
they do not correctly represent the sentiments
of those States-
If the above offences do not suffice, we sug
gest that they hatch up some violation of the
“old blue laws’’ asajplea for the consummation
of their scbem9 for controlling the Senate.
Here are a few of those revered statute?, which
are no mere intollerant, and quite as rational
as the obligations sought to be imposed by
Congress now.
They are now a part of the laws made in
“the Dominion of New Haven at its first
settlement.”
No one shall be a freeman or give a vote,
unless he be converted, and a member in full
communion of one of tho Churches allowed in
this Drmioion.
No one shall hold any office who is not
sound in the faith and faithful to thir Domin

No woman shall kiss her children on the
Sabbath or fasting day.
A person accused of trespass in the night
shall be judged guilty, unless he clear himsell
by his oath. (This is the test oath.]
No priest shall abide iu Ihe Dominion. He
shall be banished and suffer death on his re
turn. Priests may be seized by any one with
out a warrant.
No one to cross a river but with an authori
sed ferryman.
No one shall travel, cook victuals, make

for the second, and for the third imprisonment
during the pleasure of the Court.
Married persons must live together or be im
prisoned.
Every male shall have his hair cut round, ac
cording to a cap.
No tood or lodging shall be offered to a
Quaker, Adamite or other heretic.
If any person turns Quaker he shall be ban

death.
Dreadful F high t. — The ruins of St. Finbar’s
Cathedreal came very near being the scene of
a serious calamity yesterday. While the work
men (who are engaged in taking down the stee<
pie) were at work, the policeman guarding the
place thought he saw the wall opening and the
steeple about to fall, and giving the alarm, im
mediately rushed from the building and ran to
the opposite side of the street, where he was fol
lowed by three workmen employed beiow.
There were six men on the steeple, and their sit
uation, in consequence of this premature report,
now became painful in the extreme. There w’as
no chance of escape, and they gathered in a
group, expecting momentarily to be precipitated
to the ground, and crushed or badly hurt, and a
German (who was among the number) was so
badly frightened that the blood gushed from his
moutn and nose. Fortunately for the party, the
wall did not fall : and it turned out that the pos
liceman was mistaken and, had no cause for his
apprehensions.— Charleston Hews.
Fatal Accident. — A day or two since Mr.

The Savannah Republican says that on Sun
day afternoon last, while a boat with a crew
belonging to a schooner lying in port, wa
passing along the shore seme six or seven
miles up the river, she was hailed by a gang of
negroes and ordered to stop, but upon declining
to do so, some half dozen shots were fired at
the boat, none of which, fortunately, took es
feet. It is charitable to suppose that the au
thors of this outrage were intoxicated, and
under this supposition the parties in the boat
took no notice of the matter.
The editor of the Thomasville Enterprise
offers for sale, at 25 cents per copy, the new
fee bill adopted by the doctors in Thomas
county. He says everybody should have one
in order to in advance what the doctor
is going to charge him.
A letter to the Telegraph from Baker coun
ty, says there is considerable complaint among
the planters of their cotton seed not coming
up, and, after it has come up, iurning white
and dying. Three-fourths of the seed are old—
oise as old as four years. The sa me writer
says that in his neighborhood last year there
were one hundrtd and eighty six laborers em
ployed on srven plantations, this year, upon
the same places, forty-two. Those that are
now employed, do not work like they did last
year before their freedom.
The Madison News says the planters in Mor
gan county are becoming gieat'y excitedabout
the decayed cotton seed. The supply of seed
is very short and they failing to come up. The
Northern farmers who have purchased farms
in that county are Decoming disheartened—
their hands have had small pox, some of them
tyhoid fever, and now the prospect of a failure
in the crop from rotten seed causes
them to Kpprebend a disappointment. They
speak also diecouragingiy of negro labor and
see from practical experiment that it is unre
liable.
The Macon papers state, for the benefit of

We think allusion was made a few days ago
in this paper to the arrest of two men named
D. V. Gray and G. M. Barret, in Atlanta, un
der direction of a telegraphic dispatch from
this city. Mr. Barrett has published a card
which explains his connection with Gray, and
entirely exonerates him from any complicity
in Gray’s default. Gray was making his way
out of the country with funds belonging to
Mr. Robt. F. Boatie, who relieves Hr. Gray
from all blame.

The Editor of the Courier has recently met
with several planters from the Islands and ad
j icent country, who generally made favorable
reports as to the prospects of the coming crop.
In some instances he heard complaints of bad
seed, and the necessity, in consequence of re
planting.
The Editor of the Carolinan says that on one
place where he had eighty slaves, of whom
some forty were workers, that of these he had
some eight or tenjeft. He employs, perhaps,
six of them. To a few he had given lands, and
they work for themselves. The rest wandered
off to the coast, to the city, and between pri
vation, exposure, starvation and small pox,
some twenty are dead.
, The Barnwell Sentinel urges the comple
tion of the Branch Railroad to that point.
That paper says the road can be finished in
a few weeks, and will not only contribute
largely to the prosperity of our District, but,
would ultimately prove a profitable branch of
the South Carolina Rail Road.

THE CHILDREN.
BY CHARLES M. DICKINSON.
When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And the school for the day is dismissed,
The little ones gather around me
To bid me “good night” and be kissed,
Oh! the little white arms that encircle
My neck in their tender embrace ;
Oh! the smiles that are halos of heaven,
Shedding sunshine of love on my face.
And when they are gone, I sit dreaming
Os my childhood—too lovely to last—
Os joy that my heart will remember
While it wakes to the pulse of the past;
Ere the world and its wickedness made me
A partner of Sorrow and Sin,
When the glory of God was about me,
And the glory of gladness within.
I ask not a life for the dear ones
All radiant, as others have done ;
But that life may have just enough shadow
To temper the glare of the sun;
I would pray God to guard them from evil,
But my prayer would bound back to myself;
Ah! a seraph may pray for a sinner,
But a sinner must pray for himself.
I shall leave the old house in the autumn,
To traverse its threshold no more ;
Oh! how I shall sigh for the dear ones
That meet me each morn at the door;
I shall miss the "Good nights,” and the kisses,
And the gush of their innocent glee;
The group on the green, and the flowers
That are brought every morning for me.
I shall miss them at morn and at even—
Their song in the school and the street;
I shall miss the low hum of their voices,
And the tramp of their delicate feet.
When the lessons of Life are all ended,
And Death says : “The school is dismissed !
May the little ones gather around me,
To bid me good night and be kissed.
Suidc Book for Immigrants.
D. 11. Jacques Esq.,is engaged in preparing

Inflax of Negroes.
From the number of negroes, who poured
into Augusta immediately after the surrender,
nearly a year ago, we bad arrived at the con
clusion that the low lands and upland, the
cane-breakes, swamps and numberless other
places had been completely delivered
from their orderriferous presence. But not
so, The cry is still they come. The high
ways and hedges are throoged with them—
all wending their way to the Mecca of Free
dom—the headquarters of the Georgia Equal
Rights Association.
They come, some of them seeking employ
ment, Our people, anxious for laborers, eager
ly hire the new comers, knowing full well the
utter uselessness cf a majority of those brought
up in the city, or who have been here long
enough t > make the acquaintance, and have
indoctrinated into them the evil teachings of
certain poison-tongued, lazy miscreants.
The advise of ‘‘Sisters” has a very demoraliz
ing t-flcct upon country negroes, who are silly
enough to believe that their hypocritical
canting and suicidal counsel are the offspring
of real kindness of heart. Weak minded crea
tures that they are, the day will soon come,
when they will aek to be delivered from all
sue t.
But concerning the influx, measures should
be adopted that will stop this continued
migration to our cities and towns. There is
enough of freedmen in our midst already, and
four times more than there is any demand for.
Tnose coming are without work—hence the
robberies which of late, have become so com
mon. Let them be made to show up their
hands, or to leave the city. The iaw provides
for that.
General Cass. —The editor of the Lacrosse
(Wisconsin) Democrat, who is now in Detroit,
writes as follows:—“General Cass is still alive,
though his family have gathered here in daily
expectation of bis decease. The General is
now in his eighty-fourth year. He passes most
of his time in sleep, undisturbed. At rare in
tervals he wakens up sufficiently to ask for
some ofhis old friends, who are sent for, but
on arriving, even within the hour, he is
generally asleep again. His disease is softening
cf the brain, from years of mental labor in the
service of his country. He has all the care,
attention and nursing it is possible to give.
His family look upon him with the greatest
reverence and affection. and pray that his last
day on earth may be far distant. At times he
is able to converse quite freely and rationally
with his family, but this is the exception, not
the rule.”
The Catholic Religion in China.— The
London Builder gives us a bit of curious news
from the orient. A Roman Catholic Cathedral
is being built in China 300 feet long by 150
wide, with a spire that will make it the most
conspicuous object in the imperial city. It is
cot generally known that the Catholic mis
sions, commenced in China about three hun
dred years ago, have made constant progress
ia spite of frequent and cruel persecutions, in
which there have been hundreds of martyrs.
There are now not far from 3,000,000 of
Roman Catholics in China. There is a Chinese
Catholic Church, with a Chinese priest, in San
Francisco, Cal.
The Columbia Daii.x Carolinian.—We have

them our kindest wishes for their success.
kRVID JliftY PRESFNriSEYTS.
RICHMOND COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT
Aran. Term, 1866—Sec jxd wkk ;
Our predecessors, the Graud Jury of the first I
week, in their report of the various matters i
brought to their attention, have left but few
subjects, and those of comparatively minor !
importance, to which we beg leave to call the
attention of tho Court.
The large number of indictments on which
we have been called to act, this being the se
cond week of the term, evidences a frightful
prevalence of crime in our city and county.
We are well aware that hitherto the remedy
for this state of affairs has not been within the
province of this Court, But now that the juris
diction of these cases has once more, at least
in a measure, been placed in the hands of the
civil authorities, where it properly belongs,
we trust the Attorney Geueral and his assis
tants in prosecution, will use, if possible, more
than his accustomed diligence to secure con
viction; aud that upon conviction such punish
ment may be meted out to the criminal as will
vindicate the power of the law, and serve as a
warning to evil doers. The large and hereto
fore comparatively inesponsible class ot our
community which furnishes the great majority
of criminals, must be taught that offences
against the law can and will be punished ; and
the sooner and more effectually this is done,
the better for the peace and goad order of the
community.
We cordially endose tho recommendation of
the Grand Jury of the first week in relatiou to
the subject of education. It is unnecessary to
enlarge upon the importance ot this matter.
Intelligent men everywhere admit its claims
Ws trust that as soon as the fiuaucial condition
of the county will admit, an adequate fund will
be appropriated to this object: VVe also con
cur in regard to the preservation and security
of the records and papers in the Clerks
Office. So much has been said in re
gard to the large number of vagrants
infesting the city and vicinity, and the subject
has been so often urged upon the attention of
the Court, that it has become an “oft told
taie ” Still, we must again present this mat
ter to the consideration of the Court, and urge
some practical t ffort to give effect to the pro
visions of the law on this point. We call up
on our fellow citizens to report, for the action
of the Court, any cases of vagrancy which
mav come under their knowledge.
In regard to the limited number of our citi
zens who are called upon to act as Jurors, we
will only say that in a voting population of
near eighteen hundred, (1800) allowing four
hundred of these to he firemen, it would not
seem necessary that the same set of men should
be rtquired to serve at two conservative terms
of Court. The regular habits aud places of
business of a comparatively small portion of
our population aro so well knowu, that an un
fair advantage seems to bo taken of this
knowledge.
The Road from the Augusta Factory Canal
Bridge, running parallel to the Georgia Rail
road, near the residence of Dr. Dearing, needs
attention Also tho Road aud Bridges near
Girardey’s residence, on the Road near the Race
Track. Also, the main county Road on the
Sand Hills, near Cumming’s corner.
In returning thanks to his Honor, J udge
Reese, for his uniform courtesy aud consul
ation, we beg leave to express our apprecia
tion of the manner and style of his charges
and explanaiions to the Jury—being conveyed
in the good old English tongue, which we can
all understand ; not made unintelligible with
phrases calculated only for the Display of
learning. To the Attorney Genera', John P.
C. Whitehead, Esq , we are also indebted for
attention and advice.

“An American gentleman, now in Europe,
informs his correspondent in this city, that Mr.
Fillmore has recently written to President John
son in the strongest terms of commendation of
his policy.
—We must think this unfortunate for the Pres
ident. Mr. Fillmore is a gentleman whom we
personally respect; yet it is nevertheless true
that his heart was with the Rebels though
out our great struggle. We do not know ten
other Copperheads in our State so hostile to the
“coercion” which was attempted by the Govern
ment, so kindly toward that essayed by the Reb
els, as that same Millard Fillmore.— Trikune.

There never was so much crime in Vermont
as now, and officers say that four fifths of it is
to be attributed to liquor. One county has fif
teen criminals who will be sent to State I’iison.
