Pascagoula Hay.
BY MATTHEW 0. FIELD.
It is founded on a legend of Paaca
gouln Hay* in Mississippi. An ancient
tradition toils how a once stately and pow
fu! tribe, many moons ago, was gradually
reduced by confed« rate enemies, until the
last fugitive remnant came to the shore of
this beautiful Bay, and, uniting in the
«leuth-song. Hung themselves enmassr, in
despair, into its waters. Their wail is still
heard on calm summer evenings, softened
int* a tone as faint and low as a sigh :
Moonlight is sleeping on the wave.
Yon sandy trees'll shines in the ray,
And silver are the sands that pave'
Fair Pascagoula Bay.
Yon isles of green sphii spirit-liound,
While ~p 11-like silence floats around ;
Ami yon mysterious object, mark !
Far o'er the glassy surface, nee
The branching root of some dead tree
Per p out above tlm shallow sea,
lake water-spirit, dark.
Like some lone spirit of the water
Hazing upon the fair moonlight,
Or sighing for some earthly (laughter
In silence and in night.
liiH-s sorrow dwell beneath the waves?
in coral grot and crystal cave?
And do the nymphs and naiads know
To weep? Does now some fair Undine,
Beneath von Uav of silver sheen,
Hiding her face in tresses green,
Drop amber tears of woe?
All ! sorrow ever o'er the earth
With i '.v a"" , almost hand in liand; !
Changing and mingling joy and mirth j
Thick as yon silver sand.
The songsters on their summer wings, j
The fairest and the best of things,
Find mirth still mingled with alloy.
Ah! sadnessdwellcth everywhere
Upon the earth and in the air,
And neath the waves,yes, even then
tirief mingles still with joy.
Hark! listen! doth my musing, lone
And dismal, lift my fancy high?
Or whence this sad and sigidng tone
Os music ftoatirg by?
Now swells it over leaf and bough,
Beneath, along the water now,
And ah ! how very sad it seems—
Mournful as solemn tolling bells,
Lchocs of by-gone funeral knells,
Like spirits sighing their farewells,
or music heard in dreams.
And ’tin not fancy, for they tell
How long ago was heard the sound ;
Jlow here the red men fought and fell,
And in the Bay—were drowned.
They sav it is a spirit laud
Mourning in Pascagoula's sand;
The bones of many tribes are there;
Their moans left echoes on the waves
That roll o'er tlc ir eternal graves,
And as the beech the waters lave,
.Sail music tills the air.
Again! how strange! it cannot bo
The night wind, for the night is still,
And not a leaf stirs on the tree,
Or blade upon the hill;
Now deep, now distant, now so near.
You start and smile at your own fear,
And all so mournful s sells along.
The sound it thrills your feelings deep,
You long to steal away and weep,
You sigh to listen—and to sleep,
Lulled by this spirit-song.
Not when the tempest whips Ihc waves,
Not when the storm-licnd's rage is
stirred,
But when 'tis silent as the grave,
Then is the music heard ;
Then, wildly, sweetly, from the lake,
The spirit-song is heard to break,
\ nd o'er the glassy wave to play;
The war-song of the Indian brave
Comes from his deep and watery grave,
And floats upon the silver wave
()f Pascagoula Bay.

REPLY FROM (JOV. WARD, OF NEW JERSEY,
ONE OF THE COMMI TTEE.
Hon. //../. / taymond: Dear Sir: —A j
meeting of the National Union Committee,
appointed in dune, 1804, has been called
to meet at Philadelphia, on Monday, Sep
tember 3d, and I shall he present on that
occasion, taking part in its deliberation
and its action. You have deemed it wise
nud proper to abandon the great Union
Republican party of the country, and to
con licet your name and influence with a
new organization designed to destroy and
defeat, the cause with which I sympathize,
and of which 1 am, in some degree, a rep
resentative
Your public action has been such that I
cannot acknowledge your right to use the
title, under which the meeting has been
called. The nature and character of the
trusts confided to you and to me forbid
that wo should use them except in accord
ance with the spirit in which they were
conferred. So deep and wide spread is
this feeling in the popular mind, that all
woo would respond to your call would be
regarded as betraying the party they have
ceased to represent.
With respect, yours truly,
.'IAIICUS I, WARD.
Trenton, N. J., Aug. 2s, 1806.
Hon. Mi rras Ward, Governor dr.,
Sir: 1 have just received your favor of
the 28th. It is a matter wholly within
your own discretion whether you attend
the meeting of the National Uniou Execu
tive Committee, called in this city for the
3rd of September, or not; hut I am not
aware that you ha re the right to overrule
the action of the National Union Conven
tion by which, in common with yourself,
I was made a member of that committee ;
or that of the Committee itself, by which
1 was made its chairman and treasurer.
1 need not inform you that meetings of
the Committee can only be held under the
call of its proper officers, and that action
taken at meetings not so called can have
no binding authority. My object in call
ing the meeting was to afford the Commit
tee an opportunity to take such action, in
regular form, as in its judgment the condi
tion and interests of the Union Party may
require. If its members do not choose to
attend it, my duty will have been per
formed.
I am obliged to you for the opinions as
to my political course with which you
favor me. L trust Ido not underrate their
importance, or that of the distinguished
source from which they come. I have no
desire to controvert or comment upon
them, though, as at present advised, 1
certainly prefer my own.
1 hope 1 need not add that [ have no
desire to hold any official position in the
National Committee of the Union Party, or
of any other, against the wish of its mem
bers. But l deem it my duty, especially
as this :s not merely a matter of personal
feeling to insist upon regularity of action
tvs the only mode by which that wish can
he ascertained.
Yours very respectfully,
Henry J. Raymond.
The Fate of a Fallen Woman.
fFrom the PhlluiolpliU Telegraph, Augvut 20.|
One of the saddest eases of suieide we
have ever been called upon to record was
committed on Monday last, by a young
lady of this city under circumstances of the
most distressing character. It appears
there was a picnic at Delta Grove, on the
banks ofthe l\aneo:as creek, a short dis
tance above Polanco—a place that has re
cently become the resort tor rowdies, black
legs. and courtesans. Among those, pres
ent was a Miss V , residing in the
northeastern section ofthe city, whose at
tractive countenance, genteel dress, and
generally prepossessing appearance, indi
cated, that she was not only a stranger to
the reckless scenes,of conviviality and dis
sipation which are constantly occurring at
the place, but that she had been the asso
ciate of the educated and refined. And
such had been the case. Miss \ , at
a late hour in the afternoon, in company
with another lady and gentleman, accept
ed an invitation to take a short boat trip
on the Kaneocas. After proceeding for
some distance, and indulging in many
pleasant jokes, she arose and said to her
companion that she had lived long enough
and at once plunged into the creek, never
to lie seen alive again. Her remains were
found floating near Bridgeboro on the fol
lowing day. and were taken to that village.
As she was "unknown* the coroner took
charge of the body, and had it interred in
the poor ground adjoining the Metho
dist church of that place. A day or two
afterwards, however, her father, who is a
gentleman ol considerable wealth and in
fluence. laid the body disinterred, and re
cognized it as bis lost daughter, allowed it
to, again, be interred, in the same spot, in
the same pauper pine-box that was charita
bly furnished at the public expense for
such bodies as are unclaimed. The histo
ry of the young girl is indeed a sad one
She was a beautiful girl, and well educa
ted, naturally vivacious and joyful, but
she was enticed ♦rom her home, and her
future career is briflv told. Abandoned fu
ller parents, despised by her relatives, shun
ned by her to mier friends and ac piintanc -.
deprived of her once happy and comforta
ble home, and denied the counsel and assist
ance necessary to cheer and attract her
from the wrong path, is it any wonder she
led a brief life of shame and found a har
lot’s grave?

Philadelphia. August 28. — In regard
to the cause of the informality attending

In Berlin a royal message upon the in
corporation of Hanover, Electoral Hesse,
Nassau and Frankfort into the Prussian
tcritory was laid before the Prussian
Chamber of Deputies on the 17th of Au
gust. The preamble to the bill says:
Prussia did not embark into war with the
intention of acquiring territory. The hos
tile attitude of these States lias requested
that their independence should cease. It is
hoped that in the course of time the in
habitants of the annexed countries will
be thoroughly satisfied with their incor
poration.
In bringing in the bill Count Bismarck
expressed the hope that the Diet would
leave the details of accomplishment in the
hands of the King, who would act with the
necessary consideration. Further commu
nication with regard to Schleswig Holstein
would he made after the conclusion of
peace.
The King of Prussia, on the 17th of
August, received the Hanoverian deputa

Hanover to Prussia as soon as possible.

The Emperor Napoleon’s fete day on
the 15th of August was very brilliant, but
was marred by a sad accident. After the
: fireworks a crush occurred at the Porte de
j la Concorde, in whicn nine persons were
killed and fifty injured. The day was as
i usual marked by a large number of par
dons and commutations of the sentences
of military and other offenders, and also
by honors conferred, including that of the
Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor upon
the I Liu de Grammont, the French Am
bassador at Venetia, and that ofChevalier
upon M. Galignani, the director of Galig

The Austrian Gazette believes in peace

A Song.

Bring me the juice of the honey fruit,
The large translucent, amber lined.
Karo grapes of the Southern isles, to suit
Tlie luxury that fills my mood.
And bring me only such as grew
Where fairest maidens tend the bowers,
And only fed by rain and dew
Which first had bathed a bank of flowers.
They must have hung on spicy trees,
1 n airs of far enchanted vales,
And all night heard the cestaoies
Os noble-tliroated nightingales:
So that the virtues which belong
To flowers may therein tasted he,
And that which hath been thrilled with
song
May give a thrill of song to me.
For I would wake that string for tlice
Which hath too long in silence hung,
And sweeter than all else should be
Tho songwhieh in thy praise is sung.
Itelicf Meeting.
We attended a meeting in Greenville,
Ga., last Wednesday ana heard several
able and patriotic addresses upon the
subject of Relief. Rev. J. Blakeley Smith
was called to the Chair, and J udge W. B.
Adams elected Secretary. A committee
was appointed to draft resolutions, but we
left for home before they reported.
The Hon. Hugh Buchanan, member
elect to Congress from that District, ad
dressed the people at some length, lie
recommended that, the next Legislature
extend the Stay Law until 1870, which
would give the people time to pay a portion
of their indebtedness. He thought the
Supreme Court would hold that it
was Constitutional —and said that lie
knew Joseph Henry Lumpkin well,
and that he had a big heart, full of mercy
and would do all in his power to relieve the
people. That it was impossible to have
one-fourth ofthe present debt in the coun
try liquidated next January. The plan
ters had acted in good faith, had made an
honest effort and the crop had failed, and
they were now in a worse condition than
twelve months ago. The cotton then on
hand had been sold, tig? money consumed,
and the present crop was inadequate to
feed and clothe the people. He advised
the creditor to forbear —that the debtors of
the State were honest men and would make
every effort to pay, and that they should
have time. He believed it wtjs to the in
terest ofthe creditor to wait forhis money,
and illustrated it by saying that M owed
$15,000, and his land was worth SIO,OOO :
he owes A SI,OOO. B $5,000, C 3,000 : D,
E and F the balance —A, has the oldest
execution and has tjje land put up for sale;
ho bids SI,OOO, B. C and D cannot bid,
they have no money. They lose all. and
the land is sacrificed. He said that if the
collection of debts were enforced that otic
man would own nearly the whole county
of Coweta.
Air. Stewart, a member of the Legisla
ture from Spalding, next addressed the
meeting, and thought that Stay Laws
could no do good. The country was hope
lessly in debt and could never pay out It
was impossible and it was useless to try
and make men do what it was not
in the power of man to do. He thought
a Homstead Bill could do no good, as it
would be an >■( post facta law and void.
A Bankrupt Law would have to be passed
by Congress. They might pass such a law
or might not We could not depend upon
help from that quarter. We were in
trouble—present relief was necessary —the
Governor was opposed to the Stay law,
and the Legislature had its hands tied, to
an extent. He was the author of the
present Stay Law. and would vote for it
from year to year, but could not vote to
extend it long.— Middle Georgia Actrs.

every hand on the plantation into the work,
and save your c-otion for the present in the
good old way, and spend what money you
can spare in better plows, sweeps, gins, and
other labor-saving plantation implements
and machinery, that you know will benefit
you.
To quote again from Dr. Cloud, “hands
should not be allowed to pull the bolls from
the limbs in picking—while it retards the
picking i? is quite an injury to the growing
stalk during, the month of September.
The productiveness of the cotton plant is
frequently injured by early picking by the
carelessness of hands in bending over it and
pressing the limbs together by which they
are broken and otherwise mangled ; these
injuries are irreparable by the plant thus
late in the season and the consequent loss
is frequently considerable.”
Make your biles all square and uniform
and keep the qualities of cotton separate.
Dealers and manufacturers all require bales
of uniform quality, and the price of mixed
cotton is generally as low as the poorest
cotton put in the bale. Choice and valuable
varieties of cotton seed must be selected
and carefully saved, so that we may be
ready to go on successfully in the culture of
this indispensable crop hereafter. Let .all
who have superior cotton seed, either Sea
Island or Upland, advertise it widely, in
time for the next crop.
Sorghum and Imphe.e, should be cut,
ground and made up into good thick
syrup as fast as the cane matures. .Too
much care cannot be taken with the filtra
tion of the juice and clarification of the
syrup, if vou desire a good merchantable
article. The blades of' sorphum must, of
course, be saved for fodder, and tho seed
preserved for stock feeding.
Coxo Peas must be gathered and stored
away in a dry place—giving particular at
tention to the saving of choice sorts for the
next year’s seed. Pea-vine hay should al
so be made, and stacked away, as hereto
fore directed. Corn in the drill, Millet and
other summer forage crops, may now be
cut, cured and preserved for future use.
Grass, such as “Crowfoot,” “Crab,” (or
“Crop,”) etc., must be cut when in full
bloom, and cured with as little exposure
to the sun as possible. The old negro
style, of waiting ’till “first frost,” and then
pulling up a lot of dead, dr}-, sapless grass,
and calling that “hay, must be stopped.
It is not in accordance with the “progress
of the age. ’ ’
The corn and forage crops will be so short
in all the States east of the Mississippi
that every provision possible should he
made for economizing them.
Turnips will prove most valuable for
feeding stock of all kinds. Milch cows,
sheep, (and it is said horses, if fed iu mod
erate quantities with other food,) all thrive
upon them. Boiled and the slop thickened
while hot with corn meal, they are excel
lent for swine. Sow this crop during this
month, at all favorable seasons, and it will
be advisable to put in a large crop for stock
feeding in winter. It is, generally, best
to sow just before a rain, or when the
ground is dry, working the ground thor
oughly, and not sowing until it has been
allowed to dry, for if sowed in soil just
moist enough to sprout the seed the sun
often kills it, but in perfectly dry ground
the seed will keep without sprouting until
it rains—-covering the seed lightly and
pressing the eartli upon it with a roller or
plank. YVc almost invaribly sow 100 much
seed, and cover too deep; but whenever,
from any cause, we fail to get a good and
satisfactory “stand,” the seedsmen (or
vender of seed) has to “suffer.” It is not
necessary to drop a continuous line of tur
nip seed in the drill, especially when the
more valuable varieties are rare and diffi
cult to procure. Two or three seeds,
dropped every four (4) inches in the drill,
will give you a good “stand,” and save a
great deal of seed and thinning out.
Rye for winter pasture, must be sown
very largely , the middle or last of this
month. Y'ou cannot make the ground too
deep or rich ; and the same may be said
even more forcibly of Barley, which on
strong, rich soils, il superior to rye. . Sow
early, use plenty of seed, and put in as
great a breadth of land as possible, in these
two crops. On loose, sandy soils rye may
be scattered among tlie cotton the latter
part of the month, and the winter treading
of stock, which on heavy soils is injurious,
is a benefit to these light lands, but omtlie
richer soils more food is produced.
Sow plenty of the Winter or Egyptian
Oats the last of the' month for pasturage.
In ordinary winters these three crops af
ford an invaluable aid in keeping stock in
good condition.
California Clover may still he sown, the
earlier the better. The same is true of the
Crimson Clover, (Trifolium incoruatum,)
a forage plant of which wo Lave great hopes
for winter and early spring.
Procure now, seed of the Red Clover to
sow either by itself or in your wheat the
last of this month. Any clear soil that will
bring good wheat will bring good clover,
but the crop is vastly increased by sowing
upon it broad cast one bushel of gypsum
per acre ; any seedsman can supply seed,
and we prefer our readers should get it di
rect.
An Invalid's Farming Experience.
We published in the January number, a
contribution from a valued correspondent
signed “ A Northern Man.” The purport
of it was advising our people to do as the
writer was doing ; let cotton pretty much
alone; raise grain and stock ; cultivate less
land, and provide about their homes every
thing to make them more comfortable aim
attractive. YVe thought it a good article,
containing somethings we did not agree to,
but on the whole, full of sound advice ; and
as we were not then in the habit of sending
the articles received from our contributors
on to the New York Times for its approval,
why, we just published it. The conse
quence was, the Times toric both us and
our contributor in hand, called us hard
names, and was quite disposed to have the
Cultivator suppressed as a “secesh” sheet,
and our excellent old friend sent out of the
country. Well, we were both astonished,
yet both editor and contributor survived,
and after this season’s experience in crop
ping and congr issional interference, retain
about our old opinions, and if there was
anything in the world to. make us think
we were mistaken, it is neither the present
prospects of those who staked all on cot
ton growing, nor the following statement
from one of our subscribers, which is a
plain narration of facts. We would like to
hear of the cotton-grower who, with no
more means, has done as well. The land
cultivated would be considered poor. Speak
ing of the locality of the writer, our friend
M. observed to us a day or two since,
“This country above us, trading with
Athens, i« bound to be ultimately the most
prosperous section ot the South. ’ ’ ‘Why?’ ’
said we. “Because it is about the poorest
part of it, and the people will be obliged to
work to get along at all, and this habit of
industry is bound to bring them to pros
perity.” Poor as the land is, there seems
to be no difficulty to make a good living off
it.
We think the new agricultural editor of
the Times, who we take it is a man of good
sense, will think it pretty fair farming for
us “poor whites.” The Tribune would
doubtless insist that a sick negro would
have done bettor.
AN INVALID S FARMING OPERATIONS.
Editor Southern CultiyatoA: —At
the close of the war, being almost pros
trated with chronic disease of the chest
with an invalid wife and a family to sup
port, and not a dollar in anything availa
ble. nothing in the shape of money except
a few hundred in “confederate.” I was
at a loss to know how I would be able “to
make both ends meet.” A’arious schemes
of making a living presented themselves to
my mind, but my health was too much im
paired to undertake any of them. Making
a virtue of necessity. I concluded to stay
on my farm, consisting of about three
hundred acres of third qu dity land; about
forty acres of which had been in cultiva
tion, barely yielding its former occupant a
support. I hired a black man regularly
last year, and paid him out of the crop :
hired my corn gathered and husked :
bought seed at $2 50 per bushel; hired it
sowed and harvested ; have had considera
bly more land cleared up, ditched and
fenced, a large garden newly and substan
tially enclosed, which is now tilled with
cabbage, beets, onions, peas, beans, pota
toes, parsnips, carrots, okra and tomatoes.
I have not been able to do a week s work
in eighteen months except the lightest sort
of jobs—consequently have had to hire my
farm work done, pacing for it, entirely
out of the proceeds of the farm '■ |
have kept the stock, most of which i had
on hand, two horses, nine head of cattle,
fifteen sheep, fourteen hogs, and eleven
pigs. My “out hogs" have been well ted
on corn twice a day and are now good pork .
1 have pigs about seven month-, that 1
have kept up about six months—have fed
them twice a day on corn and buttermi .
they are now fine porkers, and Mill, i
think, make my next year s meat; besides
nine hogs eighteen months old ai toiling
time, that I expect to fatten for market, i
have sold enough bacon to purchase me
sugar and coffee. Besides what 1 hac e
paid out for work, I have sold twenty
bushels of corn for cash, and have now on
hand thirty bushels of corn and enougn old
bacon to supply my familv until next sum
mer. From thirty hens. I have sold about
fifty dozen eggs since early in the spring, 1
and we have had as many as we wanteifoor
use; have sold enough poultry to buy my
wife’s dresses, and have now one hundred
nice spring and summer chickens; I have
old sweet potatoes as nice as when fresh
dug, and the finest prospect fir a crop of
sweet and Irish potatoes I ever had'; a fine
crop of sugar cane (sorghum), tobacco,
Ac., growing.
I think I will have at least seventv-five ,
bushels of wheat and rye, judging from the j
yield already threshed. This year I am i
having cultivated by freedmen thirty acres
in corn and about five acres in oats, the ■
I'fttoj nearly ail cut and shocked, and ■
yielding about one hundred dozen. About i
one-half of the corn is now laid by in tine
condition, having been plowed and hoed
five times each. About one-half of the
corn is drilled, with cow neas between the
hills of corn, which, I think, will nearly
fatten my hogs. 1 have enough leather on
hand (home-tanned) to supply my family a
year or two ; also the greater portion of
my fall and spring wool not yet made up,
and enough home-made silk’to supply my
family for years. I do myself all the
milkiug, and from the same cows that our
servant girl formerly milked about a gal-
I lon per day, I now milk from three to four
; gallons. I have a cow now that my old
milker used to always dry up at the end of
! six months. She is now with a calf almost
! old eno.ugh to give milk and iu fine beef
| order, but yield-- more milk now than she
j ever did before I took up milking her. I
i have thus given you the operations of an
■ invalid farmer, as an evidence that farming
i can be made self-sustaining at least. I
had for years previous to the war been an
attentive reader of the Albany Cultivator
. —for years to come I hope to be able to
! welcome the Southern Cultivator to my
fireside. Very respectfully,
F. S. S.
Madison co., Ga., July sth. 1866.
YVe copy the following, which refers to :
one of our subscribers, from Carrington’s
Commissionaire:
“I was never on a farm before this year.
but. like . always . took an interest ;
in farming.
“Last year 1 quit my old profession, ami ,
bought twenty acres negr here. I’ut half j
an acre of that into corn. Bought a sulky
riding cultivator to ’tend it. It rode so
nicely, and the corn grew so finely, that I
bought another sulky and six hundred
acres more, and between four afnl five
thousand dollars’ worth of farm machinery,
by which I think my five hands do the
work of twenty, and Ram succeeding
much better than my wise neighbors, who
have been at farming all their lives. They
had a great deal to say about ‘ a fool and
his money,’ but I don’t Dear anything
about that lately. The principal business
and work (and hard, bitter work at that,)
of farmers here all winter, is keeping them
selves in firewood, but the fool with his
sawing machine and two horses, in five
days sawed and housed all his winter’s
wood, and now has nothing to do but to
sit by his roaring fire and let the wind
howl. The past summer, sitting on his
spring-seat rotary spader, under the shade
of an umbrella, the fool broxe up his six
acres regularly every day, eight inches
deep, while his wise neighbors 1 larded the
lean earth’ with their perspiration, and
then made only two acres, four inches .deep,
usually.”
A Rf.cipe YVortii One Thousand
Dollars.— “ Take one pound of sal soda, !
and a half a pound ol‘ unslacked lime —
put it in a gallon of water and boil twenty
minutes. Let it stand till cool, then strain
off, and put it in a stone jug or jar. Soak
your clothes over night, or until they are
all wet through—then wring them out, and
rub on plenty of soap, and in one boiling of
clothes well covered with water, add one
teaspoonful of washing fluid. Boil half an
hour briskly—then wash them thoroughly
through one suds, and rinse with water,
and your clothes will look better than the
old way of washing twice before boiling.
This is an available recipe, and I want
every poor tired woman to try it. I think
with a patent wash-tub, to do the little
rubbing, the wash-woman might take the
last novel and compose herself on the
lounge, and let the washing do itself. The
woman who can keep a secret has known
this a year or two, but her husband told it
while on an electioneering tour.” So says
the Ohio Cultivator.
Hollywood Memorial Association.
The following reaches us’fromßichmond,
with a request for publication from a source
that wc are always bound to respect:
An executive committee has been ap
pointed to arrange preliminaries for a
bazaar to be held in Richmond, in February
next, for the benefit of the association.
The committee held its first meeting,
August 15th, at the lecture-room of
the Second Presbyterian Church, and
the ladies present manifested a zeal for the
cause, and a unanimity of purpose that
was a sure indication of success.
The co-operation of all persons, not only
in our own city, but in every county of oiir
State, and in every part of the South is
earnestly desired. Contributions from
each of the Southern States are essential
to the success of the scheme, and the
names of ladies, who will assist in the un
dertaking, may be forwarded to any mem
ber of the executive committee, and cir
culars with definite plans of action will he
furnished them.
Editors in all parts of the South are re
spectfully requested to extend this notice.
Donations from merchants, manufactur
ers, farmers, &c,, will be thankfully re
ceived, and can be collected through the
winter. The ladies are especially appealed
to for every variety of domestic supplies,
pickles, preserves, butter, &c., and notice
will be given of the proper time to furnish
these articles.
It is very desirable to engage the services
of young people and children, as experience
lias fully shown how untiring and success
ful are their efforts, and how warm their
devotion to the object we have at heart,
and they are invited to form little societies
auxiliary to ours.
By concert of action, it is confidently be
lieved a sum may be realized worthy of our
sacred cause.
The Executive Committee will be en
larged as the labors increase, and addition
al services are required. The organization
is as follows:
Mrs. Lewis N. YY T cbb, President.
Mrs. Lewis, D. Crenshaw, Mrs. James
Lyons, Mrs. Dr. Haxall, and Mrs. Robert
YY. Ould, Y'ice-Prcsidcnts.
Mrs. C. Gennet, Treasurer.
Mrs. YVilliam Brown, Secretary.
Preparation of an Important State Pa
per.
Four days before Secretary, Seward’s
departure for Chicago with the President
was devoted to the preparation of an im
portant State paper. "I am not able to
assert whether its promulgation will be
immediate, or delayed until the return of
the Executive trip. There is no doubt
that the document in question, which is
less than a reiteration of renewal of the
demands of this Government for restitu
tion at the hands of England for losses of
Ametican ship-owners by the Anglo-Con
federate pirate, is conceived with unusual
elaboration.
The Secretary, during the time indi
cated, has been almost invisible at the
State Department, being continually en
grossed in the composition of' the 'above
dispatch. _ In length it will be of exces
sive wordiness. In conjunction with the
spirit of the demand, several clerks of the
Department have been preparing a synop
tical statement ofthe claims referred to the
Government for British liquidation. The
lists are full and have been carefully re
vise!. While the knowledge that these
just debts are again to be pressed upon her
Alajesty’s Government, may give undoubt
ed satisfaction both to the claimants con
cerned ayd the nation generally, it does not
seem at all likely that an international row
is to ensue on this assertion of international
diplomatic “stiff upper lip.” or that our
Government will escape the practical _ as
sumption of the demand thus urged against
a foreign power. This phase of the matter
arises from the fact that England has of j
late been putting in such enormous claims
against the United States for losses of j
English subjects in the South by Federal j
seizures of property during the war, that 1
the accounts to be rendered by cither Gov- I
eminent will nearly offset the other’s in- |
debteduess. Herein Secretary _ Seward j
recognizes an opportunity for indicating a j
degree of courage and stamina for which ;
he is generally discredited. — Washington

And some pretty little glances
From a pretty little eye ;
With a pretty little face
Behind a pretty fan,
Siie smiled on the proposals
Os this pretty little man,
Some pretty little “loves,"
And some pretty little “dears,”
Some pretty little* smiles.
And some pretty little tears ;
Some pretty little presents,
And a pretty little kiss,
Were some pretty little preludes
To some pretty little bliss.

And her pretty little spark,
Met the pretty little parson
And his pietty little clerk ;
A pretty little wedding ring

Schleswig Upturned to Denmark.
The Darjbtad (Daily News.) of Copen
hagen, of August TANARUS, in an article on the
(lerman Peace, naturally only sees the
clause in the stipulation returning North
Schleswig to Denmark. This retrocession
came quite unexpectedly to Denmark, but
is none the less agreeable. The clause in
question says: “The districts of Northern
Schleswig are to determine their future by
the ]J<ci>bite. ’ ' No boundary line being
fixed, this journal understands tliis to
mean that all the people in Schleswig, who
choose to vote themselves Danes, will, by
this stipulation, become incorporated with
Denmark, especially Northern Schleswig,
Sundeved and the Isle of Alsen. The line
must be drawn south of Flensburg and in
tiic west at Bredsted. The Daghlad furth
er argues that this: would be no sacrifice to
Prussia, as she will still have accomplished
her object, viz: getting access to the sea,
and obtaining good ports. This she has
attained in the invaluable harbor of Kiel
and Eckernforde, and the proposed canal
through Holstein will connect those norts
with the Bay of Jahde, and the naval es
tablishments at Geestemunde and Ernden,
taken from Hanover. The Dagblnd is
confident that a fair popular vote will re
store ail the above territory to
Denmark.
Oh, Come to Me.
Oh, come to me and bring with thee
The sunny smiles of former years,
if smiles so bright can lend their light
To cheer a brow long used to tears.
J will not let one sad regret,
One gloomy thought our meeting chill,
But, for thy sake, will try to make
This altered cheek look cheerful still.
But if the gloom of life has come
If smiles have now forsaken thee,
Then let not pride attempt to hide
The dreary change, but come to me.
If thou art gay, I will not say
One mournful word to cause a tear;
; If thou art sad, I’ll wish I had
! A brighter home for one so dear.
Then come to me; our theme shall be
The friends we love, notthose we mourn;
We’ll not destroy our present joy,
Lamenting joys that ne’er return.
The orient rays of early days,
And boyhood’s blooin we may not see;
But days of bright and pure delight
i May yet be ours; then come to me.

THIRTY-FIVE WEEKS of SESSION and T\, 0 bf vaca
tion at Christmas.
The Misses SEDGWICK desire to make their School
one of superior excellence, and no pains wiil bo spared to
accomplish their end. Augusta, from its central position
from the well-known and universally acknowledged re
linementofits society, presents very superior advantages
as a place wherein to establish rrr.cli a SCHOOL, The
house secured is LARGE and AIItY, the rooms commo
dious and well ventilated, and attached is a large Orna
menta 1 Garden, presenting a desirable place for pleasant
and healthful exercise. There will be a FRENCH GOVER
NESS in the family, of established ability, with whom the
j oung ladies will be obliged always to converse in French
The Pupils will be under the constant supervision of EX
PERIENCED and JIEFINED TEACHERS, and their
Moral and Religious training will be carefully attended to.
The course of study will embrace all the various English
branches and Mathematics, necessary for a thorough and
accomplished education, and will include VOCAL and IN
STRUMENTAL MUSIC, DRAWING, PAINTING, and
the LATIN, GERMAN and FRENCH LANGUAGES, VO
CAL MUSIC will be a daily exercise in the School. As
the number of Boarding Pupils is limited, preference will be
given those who apply to enter the family for the Scholastic
year. Circulars containing terms and additional particulars
for both Boarding and Day Pupils may be obtained by ad
dressing the Principals.
Classes will be formed in French, Vccal and Instrumental,
Music and Drawing and Painting for those Young Ladies
who do not wish to enter the School as day pupils.

(From Rev. W. D. Seidried, Pastor of Twelfth Baptist
Church, Philadelphia.)
Gentlemen: I have recently been laboring under the dis- j
tressing effects of indigestion, accompanied by a prostration of
the nervous system. Numerous remedies were recommended
by friends, and some of them tested, but wit hout relief. Your
lloofland’s German Bitters were recommended bv persons who
had tried them, and wiiose favorable mention or these Bitters
induced me to try them. I must confess that I had an aversion
to Patent Medicines from the “thousand and one” quack
Bitters whose only aim seems to be to palm off sweetened and
drugged liquor upon the community in a sly way, and the ten
dency of which, I fear, is to make many a con firmed drunkard.
Upon learning that yours was really a medicinal preparation,
I took it with happy cff' ct. Its action, not only upon the
ri.omach, but upon tin: nervous system, was prompt and grati
fying. 1 feel that 1 have derived great and permanent benefit
ffrom the use of a few bottles*

ITUIIS INSTITUTION HAS BEEN
I paying for the past year, fifteen cents on the dollar
for the Certificates of Deposit which it issued during the
war in exchange fi*r Confederate money. This per
contage has been paid on the recommendation of a com.
luittce composed of Dr. Joseph Milligan, Josiah Sibley,
Esq., and IV. J. Owens, Esq., three disinterested citi
zens of Augusta, of high character arid position, who ex
amined and valued all the assets of the Bank. This val
uation did not amount to fifteen per cent, of our circula
tion, hut the committee estimated that wo might be able
to pay this percentage on the supposition that many of
the bills had been lost or destroyed. .Since their exami
nation, all tlis exchange, com, bullion, bank bills, bonds,
stocks, coupons, cotton and merchandise held by the
Bank have been sold. Some of these have proved to he
less valuable than the estimate of the committee, and
tome more ; but on the whole an advance of nearly twen
ty per cent, has been realized ; so that the Bank will he
able to pay eighteen cents in the dollar for its change
hills, unless the number destroyed shall he found to be
smaller than vyas anticipated. No larger per centage than
this can be paid hereafter, us we have nothing now to ap
preciate.
We have recently investigated the amount received by
the Bank for its certificate*, counting the Confedcxate
money at its value when received, and find that R v s
less than eighteen cents in the dollar; so that this B
will pay hereafter not only to its depositors, but to its hi
holders, the full amount it received.
