The Blessed Hand.
BY S. T. WALLIS.
There is a legend of an English Monk,
who died at the Monastery of Aremberg,
where he had copied ami illustrated many
books, hoping to l>e rewarded in Heaven.
Jjong after his death Ins tomb was opened,
and nothing eould be soon of his remains
but the right hand, with which he had done
his pious work, and which had lreen mi
raculously preserved from decay.]
For you and mo. who love the light
()f < owl's uncloistered day,
It were indeed a dreary lot
To shut ourselves away
From every glad and sunny thing
And pleasant sight and sound.
And pass from out a silent cell,
Into the silent ground.
Not so the gfwxi Monk Anselm thought,
For his cloister’s shade,
The cheerful faith that lit his heart
Its own sweet sunshine made;
And in its glow he prayed and wrote
From matin song till even.
And trusted in the Book of Life,
To rend his name in Heaven.
NVbat holy books his gentle art
Filled full of saintly lore ;
What pages brightened by his hand.
The splendid missals bore !
What blossoms, almost fragrant, twined
A round each blessed name,
And how his Saviour’s cross and crown
Shone out, from cloud and flame!
But, unto clerk as well as clown,
One sum /ions comes, alwav,
Ami brother Anselm heard the call,
At vesper-chime one day.
His busy pen was in his hand,
iiis parchment by his side—
He bent him o’er the half-writ prayer
Kissed Jesus’ name and died !
They lai'l him where a window's blaze
Flashed o'er the graven stone,
Andseemed to touch his simple name,
With pencil like his own ;
And there he slept, and, one by one,
His brothers died, the while,
And trooping years went by and trod
His name from off the aisle,
And lifting up the pavement, then
An Abbot's couch to spread,
They let the jeweled sunlight in
Where once lay Anselm's head,
No crumbling bone was there, no trace
Os human dust that told
But, all alone, a warm right hand
I «ty fresh -upon the mold.
It was not stiff, as dead men’s are,
But with a tender clasp,
It seemed to hold an unseen hand
Within its living grasp ;
And erethe trembling monks could turn,
To hide their dazzled eyes,
It rose, as with a sound of wings,
Flight up into the skies!
Oh, loving, open hands, that give;
Soft hands, the loir that dry;
Oh patient hands, that toil to bless ;
How can ye overdid
Ten thousand vows, from yearning hearts
To Heaven’s own gates shall soar,
And bear you up, as Anselm’s hand
Those niiseei' angels bore!
King hands ! oh never near to you
May come the woes ye heal !
Oh never may the hearts ye guard
The griefs yecomfort feel!
May lie, in whose sweet name ye build,
Ho crown the work ye rear,
That he may never clasp be,
In one unanswered prayer!

with the following news:
‘ The city of Jcabtlan, in (lie State of

‘‘There is much quarrelling and alarm

Vkha (/!»'<, Sept, 6, 1860.
11 will be remembered that the French
steamer Sonant was chartered, by order of
Maximilian, at the rate of SSOO per day,
for every day employed, to carry a bearer
of dispatches (the same to be telegraphed
from New Orleans to ('arietta) to the
quarantine station on the .Mississippi. lie
lore the Sonora started there was quite a
time of it” between the Imperial agents
and the consignees of the steamer. The
latter did not permit the. vessel to leave
until S4,(XX) was paid down in advance, and
good security given for the payment of at
least its much more.
The Sonora went on her mission. On
the -Ith instant she returned and was put
into quarantine. The Captain of the
Steamer protested against tins act, alleg
ing that lie lmd no sick on board, and that
as tbo vessel did not go up the Mississippi
further than the quarantine station, it
therefore was free from anything like chol
era poison. Hut the imperial Mexican
health officer refused to listen to the Cap
lain s protests and remonstrances, and told
him: "You must stay there, and the Im
perial Mexican Captain of the port refused
to interfere, and thus the aftair stood for
the moment. The Captain of the steamer
iinding that it was a fixed fact, that he
must go into quarantine, refused to let
anything, including the Emperor s dis
patches. leave the vessel, or to give news
of any kind.
People say that soon after the arrival of
the Tappahaimofk a telegraphic dispatch
was sent to Maximilian in these words :
“7Wo is inutil.'' (All is useless.) By
whom it was signed is still a matter kept
secret. One rumor is to the effect that it
was signed by Carlotta, and another that
it came from an agent in France.
All kinds of cxeiting rumors were spread
alxuit upon the arrival of the steamer.
Whatever news she did bring certainly had
a depressing effect upon the Imperialists.
The French officers said that todo t* inutil
represented the situation at this time per
fectly.
In the interim the French officers had a
stolen interview with someone on board
the steamer, and got the news that Car
lotta would not return ; that she had tailed
to get any aid from Napoleon, and that
she would await the coining of her hus
band at Brussels. This intelligence the
French officials telegraphed to Marshal
Baxine, who saw Maximilian and told him
ot it. "What. , said the Emperor, "have
you got such news before me. and by the
Sonora, and after the Government paying
so much money to obtain it first ! Ihe
sequel proved that the Emperor was high
ly pleased at the French receiving the
news before he did. In twenty-four hours
after the arrival of the Sonora the Empe
ror turned the captain of the port ot \ era
Cruz (Scnor .luan Lainex out of office,
and appointed Scnor Bias Godinez to till
the vacancy thus occasioned. Yesterday
the Sonora was permitted to enter the har
bor and anchor ott the city.
In consequence or the late unfavorable
(for the Imperialists nows received, there
are many wdd rumors afloat. One is that
Maximilian is actually a prisoner in the
city of Mexico; that he has been watched
by Bazaine. and by the same prevented
from too suddenly leaving the country. It
is still said that Maximilian asked Bazaine
to place a strong force of guards on the*
roads from the capital to Vera Cruz, aud
that Bazaine s answer led the Emperor
plainly to see that lie could not leave until
the Marshal saw tit to let him do so.
There is no doubt of the tact that the
breach betwoeu tuc I'rcuch and the Impc
rial I Maximilian s party is a wide one. and
that they are and have been for a long time
I'ti-st at loggerheads : but as they arc noth
m difficulty here, they act as seeming to bo
friends, and nothing more.
There is nothing just at this moment to
show that the French are not goinc awav.
((iterations have been commenced iu earli

son at Jalapa has been strongly reinforced.
Citizens living near the city of YeraCruz
are removing inside of the walls for protec

The Criteria says that the more the
Liberal small bands are thrashed the bolder
they get and the more damage they do.
There is a party of religious enthusiasts
just now going about England who call
themselves the "Hallelujah Band,” Last
week they visited Derby, and placarded the

The New York Journal of Commerce. of
Monday, the 17th inst., publishes the fol
lowing article :
The following is an extract from a private
letter just received by a house in this city :
pRATTVH.LK. A FA.. September 7.
On reading the reports of the agent sent
out from England to make observations on
the extent of the Southern States cotton
crop. I find his estimate of the cotton crop
of Alabama exceeds the estimate winch I
make by 25,000 bales, lie puts it down
at 200,000, I at 175,000 bales. I cannot say
as to his estimates of other States, furtliei
than what 1 see stated in newspaper ac
counts and private letters.
My estimate of the crop of this ..tate i
not so high now as when Hast wrote
(August 17.i Avery formidable enemy
to the cotton crop has made its appearance
on our lime lands within the past three
week.-, which threatens to reduce the esti
mate much lower. I mean the rust : of
this there is no doubt. I have it from such
authority as leaves no doubt as to its truth :
it is far more formidable than either the
armvor lioll worm, ft destroys not onlv the
foliage, hut the stalk itself. Cotton field.,
whose foliage looked green three week ago,
now have the appearance of fire gone
through them. This disease never attacks
the sandy lands to much detriment, but it
is the most formidable enemy the cotton
plant has on the prairie soil.
I was in Mr. P.’s office this morning.
He read me a letter from Texas, which
stated that the prospects of the crop in
Texas were not as good as three weeks
ago, having a good deal of wet weather,
which operates against gathering the cot
ton crop; what is gathered will not be
clean and free from dust.
The crop this year will go forward to the
ports at an unusually early period, from
the fact that planters huvp been compelled
to draw on their crops heavily in order to
provision their hands and stock. The con
sequence will he, a false impression will go
abroad of a heavy crop : prices in my
opinion will recede from present figures;
hut next spring, when the real estimate is
known, cotton will rally, providing no ac
tion from our government interferes. We
at the South have a great aversion to war;
we are now well nigh ruined, and should
our country again be convulsed with war.
our ruin would he completed. From the
present fierce antagonism between the
Executive and the Legislative branch of
the Government, we have not much to
look for in the future of our country. Mat
ters may assume a more conciliatory aspect
in the future (I sincerely hope they will),
but from our present standpoint all looks
exceedingly gloomy.
Our far-seeing old men think from pres
ent appearances that our cotton crop will
annually fall off —that our people will have
to rely upon some other investment than
that of cotton alone. The proclivity of
; the negro is very fast developing itselfl—
—of seeking some other labor than that
of the cotton field. In support of this I
beg to lay before you the statistics of Sel
ma, Ala. Judging from our little village
and what I see of Montgomery, I think
there is a general disposition on the part of
the negro to quit, his employment and loaf
around the town*, catching up little jobs
anil pilfering. The race will continue to
decrease instead of increase. The mortali
ty of the negro in Selina is fourfold to that
of the whites. This is owing no doubt to
a change of their habits and to the wretch
:ed huts they live in. This will hold good
whenever they settle in cities or villages.
It will not he so great on farms.
; (u sections of country where there are
few whites and many negroes the young
i will he greatly neglected. The planters
cannot afford to pay negroes, and at the
! same time contribute to heavy doctors’
| hills. A physician writes me that there
will not he so many raised to maturity as
under the old system, from the fact that
they have hut little medical aid or assist
ance from their employers. This state of
things will increase until there will not be
left enough to cultivate the land as in for
i mbr times. Consequently the decrease of
I our cotton crop is predicted by most ol our
calculating men.
The introduction of emigrants on our
i cotton lands thus far has been a signal
failure ; Ido not have much hope from
this source. Our people are very much in
the spirit, of manufacturing ; there arc
seventy-two cotton and wool factories now
erected or erecting in Georgia. Hereto
fore we have not succeeded in this branch
i of business, as it was more profitable to
j raise cotton, hut now the tables are turned.
Capital will be invested where its strong
; cat interests lie. We have fine streams of
water, unequalled by any in the world.
These remarks are made on the basis of
; uninterrupted peace in the future. Until
this change in our labor system, l never
had much confidence in the South suc
ceeding generally in manufacturing, but
i now L can see no reason why we may not
become a manufacturing people. I think
' in a few years our cotton farms will be laid
j out in hits and rented to laborers, who will
; cultivate them in sufficient quantity to
furnish provisions and raw material for
home consumption.
Capitalists will make other investments
than in negroes and laud. Heretofore the
. old stimulus was to make more money to
| buy more land—make more cotton to buy
more negroes. Our negroes constituted
our wealth ; by one stroeke of the pen of
: our (’resident all has been swept away as j
so much chaff before the wind.
Terrible Tragedy In Virginia.
A correspondent of the Richmond Dis- \
patch, writing from Buckingham Court j
House, Va., September Gth, gives the 1
following particulars of the terrible tragedy
which recently occurred there :
The most thrilling and melancholy affair
took place hereon the Ist instant that has
shocked the feelings of our citizens since
the close of the war. The causes and re
suits are as follows :
About three weeks ago, or more, Mr.
Anthony Walton, a wealthy mill owner of
this town, arose early in the morning with
the alleged intention of visiting his mill
and plantation, hut suddenly changing his
route returned to the house. There he
found Mr. James Leach (a young lawyer
who makes Mr. Walton's house his home
during the sessions of court) in the room
with his wife. Their positions relative to
each other was such as to excite suspicion
on the part of the husband, who at once
ordered Mr. Leach out of the house, and j
forced the execution of his mandate at the j
point of the revolver; after which hecalled
tor the carriage, and putting madainin, sent
her to her mother. Nothing further of
interest transpired in the case, except that
a bill of divorce was filed by Mr Vi alton,
until last Saturday, when Reach again
rode into town.
After strolling about the village for
some time, he met Anderson Walton, a
son of Anthony by a first wife. Anderson
reproached Leach at once with the scandal,
which Kali denied with great emphasis;
whereupon Anderson shook his fist in his
face and exclaimed, “ You -- lying ,
you did. for pa saw you, at the same
time putting his hand under his coat.
"So you will shoot me will you?” yelled
Leach, and drawing bis six-shooter, ho
tired, and voting Walton fell, pierced
through the lungs, the blood gushing from
bis mouth aud nostrils. Just then Mr.
Walton, the elder, rushed up unit fired
three shots from his pistol directly at
Leach, but missing him entirely, slightly
wounded Captain A f. Moseley and a
negro. Once more Leach tired, aud the
elder Walton lay on the sward a corpse.
The ball tattered just above his heart,
severing the main arteries and causing in
stant death.
Anderson lingered until Monday evening
about 2 o'clock, when as they were closing
the grave over all that was mortal of his
father, bis soul joined hint in the spirit
world. But the talc of death d-tes not end
here. The Bov. James 11. C. Leach,
D. D., a highly respected Presbyterian
minister, died soon after hearing of the
bloody drama iu which his son had acted
so prominent a part : possibly in conse
quence. though as to this no one can do
ought but conjecture.
Mrs. Walton was one of the wives of
Hubert, the terommt, whose ears were cut
off iu Louisville. Ivy., for bigamy. Soon
alter their marriage he ran of!' with her
money, leaving her destitute : though
legally tree —for he had t».. wires living
when he married her—Mr. Walton became
so enamored with the beautiful widow that
he bought her wedding elothes. and lavish
ed on her every luxury that wealth could
procure, until the recent affair which led
to the double homicide.
Leach has been justified on the plea of
self-defence.
The growth and protection of a violet or
a tuft of grass could not have been better

ject of the Almighty in the creation ; if the
sun had been placed at the exact distance,
and the air so mixed, and the globe so

so tempered, and the seasons so graduated,

Tile night with her sable pinions,
Is hovering o'er the earth,
And far through her dark dominions
King tinkling tones of mirth :
The moon is no longer beaming,
And clouds are all star-proof,
A> I sit in my chamber dreaming
Os the rain upon the roof.
There is no sound diurnal
E'er yields me such delight
As the step of the soft rain vernal
On the rattlimr roof at night :
i am wrapped in pleasant fancies,
While slumber is far aloof,
As I list to the dainty dances
Os the rain upon the roof.
The wind is awake and dashing,
The drops on the window-pane,
And the leaves, like cymbals clashing.
Keeps time wit.i the rythmic rein ;
But no discordant clatter
Os a solitary hoof
Comes now to mar the palter
< if the rain upon the roof.
From the night so grim and sootv
Will a morning fair arise.
With a myriad forms of beauty
To glad our wondering eyes :
For the Spirit of Spring is working
At her marvelous web and woof.
And a part of her spell is lurking
In the rain upon the roof.
It brings to me vision
Os flowers and fruitful trees,
In a land that seems elyxion,
All alive with birds and bees ;
Where sweetest songs are gushing
Aloud, without reproof,
And the ripplig rills are rushing,
Like the rain upon the roof.
I see the grain grow greener
For the blessing of the skies,
Thai makes men’s faces serener,
And lights with joy his eyes;
1 anticipate the pleasure
Heaven grants for his behoof,
And my heart leaps to the measure
Os the rain upon the roof.
Thus do f muse and listen
To the music of the rain,
Whose drops innuinerous glisten,
Like diamonds through the pane ;
And I'm wrapped in pleasant fancies,
While slumber is far oloof,
As I list to the dainty dances
<>f the rain upon the roof.
A WOMAN’S REVENGE.
How a Chicago Merchant Lost His Child
Home eight months ago, a well dressed
lady, in deep mourning, made her appear
ance at the city hall and desired to see
Mayor Tallmage on business of importance.
She was conducted into the Mayor’s office,
and in a short conversation gave her name
and address. She said she, her husband
and one child, had left the East to locate
in the West, hut that in (’hicago her hus
band had suddenly died, and that it re
quired all the money she possessed to bury
him, and that she and her child were now
out upon the cold charities of the world.
Hhe did not know what she could do lor
support. She was asked if she had no
friends to whom she could apply for aid,
and replied that she had not. Hhe felt
that she could take care of herself, but she
feared for her child, a beautiful little girl
four years of ago. She solicited the aid
of the Mayor in getting the child into one
of the orphan homes in this city, until she,
the mother, could secure a home for it,
which she believed she could soon do,
when she would take the child, paying the
asylum for its trouble. The woman told
her story in such plaintive tones, and there
appeared so much of sorrow and anguish
about her, that the Mayor was interested
in her case, and told her to call the next
morning, bringing her child with her, and
during the day he would see what could he
done, lie assured the woman she should
not. suffer.
I luring the same day Mayor Tallmadgc
did interest himself, and succeeded in Und
ine a family with no children of its own,
and who desired to adopt a child. He
knew it would he a delightful home for the
child, and the next m, riling when the
mother called, bringing the child with her,
lie took her to the house.
The mother appeared grateful that such
a home was found for her little one, and
j that it would not be cast in its tender years
upon the world- Hhe. objected at first to
| parting with the child forever, apparently
. with much sincerity, but as the family
would not take, it under other circumstances,
she at length submitted, and, embracing
i and kissing her child many times, said.she
i had hut one request to make, and that was,
it should be called Ada. She then left,
and since that time nothing has been heard
|of the mother. The child was a bright lit
j tie creature, and very soon bore the love
, and affections of its adopted parents, as if
it had been their own.
A tew days ago, a detective froth Chica
, go was in this city, and in consultation
with the officers here, lie said that a lit
-1 tie child had been stolen from its parents
in that city months before, under peculiar
circumstances. A woman claimed to have
been deceived and betrayed by the father
of the child, and, when she was lost, lie
i cruelly deserted her and married another
woman. The man was a merchant in
| Chicago.
Although nearly heart broken from the
i wrongs she had suffered, it was evident
that revenge was not dead, but only slum
i bored in the woman’s breast. When her
; seducer’s child had attained the age that
j its parents loved it devotedly, she deter
mined to strike them where the blow would
i he the most severely felt, and watching
i her opportunity when the child was out
with its nurse, managed to take and secrete
j it. From the nurse’s story, the father
feared the worst, and immediately set out
with a detective in pursuit. They traced
; the woman and the child to St. Louis,
then to Cincinnati, to Louisville, and to
New Orleans. Then all traces were lost,
and the father nearly heart-broken returned
to his home, when the child was mourned
as lost forever, it being supposed that the
woman in her madness had destroyed it.
The mother of the child, however, could
not be satisfied with the idea. Some days
ago she dreamed that the child was alive
and near her. Hhe urged her husband to
further and continued efforts, and he, more
to satisfy her than in any belief that he
would succeed, renewed his searches. lie
sent a well known Chicago detective out,
with instructions to leave no stone unturn
ed to find his lost child. With this view
he came here. While in conversation
with Chief of Police Beck, the ease of
which we have spoken was mentioned.
A description of the woman and the
child was given from memory as well
as could be, and the detective felt that j
his labors were at an eud. He at j
once telegraphed to the parents of the
child, and they came to Milwaukee by
the next train. Upon going to the house
of the gentleman who had adopted ■ the
child, the joy of the mother can well be
imagined when site discovered the idol of
her heart, but'the .joy was at once turned
to despair when the child did not recog
nize her, and she could not lie induced to
go to her. In fact, it cried piteously when
ever the mother attempted to approach it.
This nearly broke the mother's heart. She
satisfied the adopted parents that the child \
was hers. and. sad as it was to part with ■
the little one, they could not do otherwise,
'flip child, when taken away, cried itself
into spasms, refusing to be comforted, but ,
,it was taken to Chicago. Yesterday, !
Mayor Tallmadgc received a letter from !
the parents of the child, saying that their
darling had died, evidently with grief at I
being separated from those it had learned
to love hotter than its own flesh and bio ad.
It had. when recovered from its spasms,
settled down into a strange grief, moaning
continually, and calling for its mother.
It refused to eat or be comforted, and the
day before yesterday it breathed its la>t.
The affair is a most strange one. The
detective informed the Mayor that no trace
of the woman had been discovered since
she left New Orleans, and it is believed
that she. having succeeded in accomplish
ing the desire of her heart, had destroyed
her own life. —MHwaukei 11 isconsin.
Cruelty to Animals,
“ -V large crowd was attracted recently in
front of a dining saloon in New York,
where was laid a large turtle, on a Led of
corn husks, with a pillow to support his
head. Aliove him was a plaqprd to this
effect: “Having no desire to wound the
feelings of the ‘.Society tor the prevention
of Cruelty to Animals.' we have done what
we could for the poor tuitle during the re
maining days of his life. But he is ap
pointed uuw death, and will Iw served in
straps and steaks on Thursday and Friday.
Members of the aforesaid society and
others are invited to come and do justice
to his memory. "
It appears that the Gothamites are
likely to outstrip the good old city of London
in their attentions to the "turtle.'' ln
the latter city for a great many years the
turtle has been almost exclusively dedicated
to the use of their aldermen, common folks
very rarely having an opportunity of en
joying the condiment known as "turtle
soup. Monsieur Berger aud the New
York "Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals may congratulate
themselves upon this striking evidence of
the great good which they are doing to
the “poor brute*.

ferent view of the Federal law, up" to that
time valid, to the view entertained by your
Majesty s advisers, he considered himself
legally prevented from unhesitatingly
adopting your Majesty’s German policy,
and thus by an unfortunate concatenation
of circumstances was ultimately forced to
employ Ids army against your Majesty's
troops, whom they had previously never
opposed, but by whose side they had often
victoriously fought in joyful brotherhood
of arms.
Your Majesty, the fate of this prince,
nearly related to your illustrious housej
has, by the incrutablc will of God, been
placed in your Majesty’s hands At the
bier of King Ernest Augustus, your Maj
esty s lamented royal brother once prom
ised to be in him a faithful support. We
trust your Majesty will redeem this promise
of your royal predecessor, and the irrevoca
ble conquest of many thousands of true and
thankful hearts will then offer to your
Majesty far more imperishable laurels than
the subjection of a weak enemy can ever
afford. With deepest respect, Ac.
King M illiam's reply is interesting as a
resume of'the reasons which controlled his
action in making war, and which impel
. him to dethrone the King of Hanover. It
is as follows :
I am glad to see you here, gentlemen,
for I cun hut respect and honor the feeling
with which German men faithfully adhere
to the dynasty whose connection with them
j has lasted for centuries and has ripened the
fruits of mutual attachment and devotion.
I should esteem the Hanoverians less if
they had taken no step evidencing their
warm adherence to their native ruling
house, to which I am nearly related. I
am induced thereby to explain to you at
length the reasons which have caused uie,
greatly against my original intention, and
after repeated strong contests with my de
sire, to permit the independence of my
former allies in the Germanic Confedera
tion to continue to have recourse to the
annexation already in process of execution,
| and. therefore, not to be recalled,
t At the time I just entered upon my pres
ent position I stated that the intentions I
! entertained for the benefit of Prussia and
of Germany were based upon effecting none
other than moral conquests. This expres
sion has been laughed at and derided, even
! scoffed at in many quarters, and yeti give
| you now the firm assurance that my plans
; have never gone beyond this object, and
that whpn as a man seventy years of age I
pass to conquests eft’ucted by force, I do
this only constrained by the force of cir
: cumstances, by the incessant attacks of my
pretended federal allies, and by duty to
wards that Prussia which has been entrust
ed to my charge.
At the establishment of the Germanic
Confederation, care was taken by those
l States which feared dangers to the preser
j vatiou of their influence from the evident
| moral elevation PrussiaCven then displayed,
I that the federal territory of Prussia should
| remain separated by independent States.
| Since the existence of the Bund this situ
! atiou has been made use of by constantly
I renewed attacks, promoted chiefly by Aus
; trian influence—by purchase of the Ger
man, French and English press, to excite
| and keep alive constant apprehension in
J those States of Prussian violence and lust
of conquest, and to offer persistent opposi
j tiou to the endeavors to infuse into the
I Bund unity and improvement in material
| and moral interest, carried on with zeal,
j hut respect for all rights through the reigns
j of the Prussian sovereigns.
These endeavors have remained fruitless,
j They have led to an unfriendly attitude of
i Hanover towards Prussia- —interrupted al
! most exclusively during the reign of King
| Ernest Augustus by more intimate rela
tions—which, during the political compli
| cations of recent years, lias often become
| hostile, without any cause being given upon
the part of Prussia.
This was the position of affairs when my
| position in Holstein was again and again
j attacked and disturbed by Austria, up to a
[ degree Prussia was no longer able to bear,
i Before, however, I found myself compelled
j to resolve upon extreme measures, I suc
j cecded, not in removing, but in once more !
postponing, the danger by the conclusion j
of the Gasteiu convention ; for during the
operation of that convention one veil after j
the other was removed which had hitherto '
concealed the intention of Austria actively
to commence the long threatening and con
stantly more and more unavoidable contest
with Prussia —the contest for preponder
ating influence in Germany. This influ
ence is the vital element of Prussia, and
not to have accepted the struggle would
have been to sacrifice her existence. The
j Holstein question was thereby pressed into
I the background.
Two bases were essential to carry out
j this great contest: Ist, Conviction of the
' justness of our claims, which alone could
j enable us to hope for the protection of the
; Most High, by conferring upon us that
success in war which lies in his hand. 2d.
| The instrument >y which this was to be
effected —namely, the Prussian army. I
had no doubt that the instrument was
effective, for my whole life had been devo
ted to the development of the army, and I
could trust myself so form an opinion as to
its capability. It appeared to me clear
that the demands of Prussia were just, be
cause she could not continue to exist and
develop herself prosperously without their
fulfilment, and therefore I determined with
a heavy heart upon the decisive struggle,
committing its issue to God. The results
that have signalized the contest of two
mighty States for existence, undreamt of
previously by me in such extent, and un
exampled for brevity in history, are a visi
ble interposition of Providence, without
which even the best disciplined army could
not have gained such triumphs.
The position of the government of your
country prior to and during the develop
ment of these events is known to you.
You are aware of the note of June 14,
which was devoid pf all foundation iu
federal right, that only recognizes one
species of execution, an execution to which
i —had it been voted—l could not have
submitted, but which would have made
the breach of the Confederation by Hano
ver less evidently hostile to Prussia. You
are aware that negotiations for neutrality
were carried on, ot my repeated fruitless
summons to join the northern alliance in
the night of June 14, of the expedition of
the llanovcridn army with its King, and
of the catastrophe at Langensalza, where I
do not say that I was the victor, but which
in its consequences led to the annihilation
of the Hanoverian army.
Even after the surprisingly great results
which have given me free scope in the ;
arrangements I intend to make, neither an
address nor a deputation would have been !
required to point out to me the gravity of j
the step you wish to see avoided. Never
theless, I repeat my thanks that you have j
spoken out frankly ; indeed, it is more ;
agreeable to me than the contrary, because
it offers a prospect of better relations in
the future. Still, the most mature exami- :
nation, all the more painful because of my
relationship to tlie House of Hanover, has
induced me to determine upon the annexa
tion as a duty to relieve my Prussia from the
heavy sacrifices it has brought, and tlie
probable return of the dangers to be in
future apprehended from the unfriendly
attitude ot Hanover. I trust that mutual
confidence will ultimately lead to content.
The chief of the deputation, Herr Yon
Munchausen, then said :
In addition to our admiration of the
clearness of the summary wc have just
heard, and bur most respectful thanks' for
the gracious reception your Majesty has
■ extended to the deputation of a prostrate
; country, we bog to reply that we shall
convey your Majesty's words as faithfully
; as in our power to our countrymen and to
our illustrious Queen at Ilerrenhausen,
who has daily increased the love and ad
miration felt tor her by the Hanoverians by
the attitude she has observed during the
recent months. We who now stand before
ycur Majesty have long had no nearer re
lations with the Hanoverau Government,
and aro thereby not iu a position to justify
its proceedings towards your Majesty’s
administration. We cannot, however,
doubt that your Majesty's reply will make
as deep and agitating an impression at
home as upon our hearts, because the last
hope of the preservation of any sort of inde
pendence i'therefore taken from us. This
hope was based less upon the fact that our
petition prayedyour Majesty’s wisdom unco
more to take into consideration whether
two millions of the most sTateful allies un
der the government of a different prince of
the same house to the King of whose con
duct your Majesty complains, aud after the
transfer of the military supremacy, would
not bring to the kingdom of vl’russia a
greateraaccession of power than a similar
number of unwilling subjects, than upon
the other fact that the remembrance of the
unvarying aud faithful devotion of the la
mented King Earnest Augustus, my most
gracious master, to the Royal House of
Prussia might hold bac-k your Majesty's
mighty hand from striking his Majesty's
son and grandson from the roll of German
sovereigns.
From this day forth, provided your Maj
esty s determination remains irrevocable,
no other source remains for the most loyal
a*l reasonable Hanoverians than the en
deavor to convert the bitterness and excite
ment partially created by the intentions of
annexation, into the sentiment of hopeless
resignation to the unavoidable decrees of 1
Providence.

Valuable Table Legs. —A young man
went from New York city to the West,
where he commenced business on his ac
count, and married, His friends in that
city were interested in his welfare, and
when a merchant was about to journey to
the place where the youDg man was located,
lie was requested to visit the emigrant, and
ascertain how Le lived, and what sort of a
woman he had chosen, his prospects, etc.
Accordingly the New Yorker ascertained
the residence of his young friend and called
upon him quite early in the morning. He
found him in a small, neat cottage andjust
taking his breakfast. The introduction of
the New Yorker to his wife was quiet, off
hand and unceremonious, and he was re
quested to be seated and partake of the
morning meal. The young wife had pre
pared the steak, biscuit and coffee with her
own hands, and for a table had used a
kneading-board over which a napkin was
spread, and the “board” placed on her lap.
The New Yorker declined a seat at the.
table, and told his New York friends as
to how his young friend was living, he de
scribed the style as “magnificent!’’ and if
he were the owner of the young man’s fur
niture he would not take ten thousand dol
lars for the legs of his table.
“What Shall we Do for Servants ?”
[From tlie New Orleans Times.]
The question, which is constantly pro
pounded in our midst, and as yet has re
ceived no satisfactory reply, must soon
present itself for a general and prompt de
cision. The services of freedmen and wo
men are so uncertain, and even grudgingly
given, and tlieir wages so increasingly
high, that in another year unless a marked
change takes place, few will bo willing, or
able to submit, to their extortions and un
thrift. The altered relations, too, the re
moval of all restraint upon an ignorant and
credulous race, who are entirely under the
control of vicious and unprincipled men,
render them unsafe and undesirable in
mates in the households of their former
owners. There may be instances of rare
attachment and fidelity among them, but
the subversive element lias been so pow
erfully instilled into their minds, that in
many instances they look upon a Southern
er as a natural enemy, to be spoiled and
hated.
In cities, or even large towns, German
and Irish emigrants can be procured at
reasonable rates, but they are too unwilling
to leave the neighborhood ot towns where
they-can command the companionship of
their own people, to make them a reliable
dependence throughout the country.
We are not dealing with the important
question of free labor in extensive agricul
tural operations, but in tlie narrow sphere
of domestic households. We believe, too,
the answer to the question we have askedj
must be sought and found in the good
sense and careful forethought of each
family.
Asa general rule, Southern women have
accepted the strange and onerous duties
imposed upon thorn by anew condition of
things, with a quiet, uncomplaining dig
nity, which their countrymen would do
well to emulate. _ There has been little
outcry and complaint, no impatient railing
against an adverse destiny, no eating dust
and rending of garments under the feet of
tlie conquerors, nor any act, hidden or
overt, which could cast the remotest re
proach upon the memory of those whose
dust they delight to honor. No, their
moan was made, and they accept tlie re
strictions of an altered condition. To them
our question addresses itself with peculiar
force.
The Southern households, where the
females of a family have taken entirely
upon themselves the burden of domestic
duty, arc marked by a degree of neatness
and order utterly impossible under the
careless supervision and labor of negro
servants. Every one knows of their sur
prising dust holes lor the stowing away
fihh ot every description, and their maxim
that dirt never kills, which they carry
religiously into practice. The mere super
intendence of their careless labors was a
greater drudgery than to do it oneself.
H here there is health, a moderate de
gree of energy and good will, and several
in a family, the work is tio heavy burden
upon any one ofthem. It is only surpri
sing, in a short time, what can bo done,
and done well, of the labor which six or
seven servants in eternal bustle and confu- j
sion were striving to accomplish in the
twelve hours. In these days of labor
saving inventions, work has been rendered
as light as work can well be. A good
kitchen and cooking-stove will hardly in
jure the hands or complexion of the fairest
belle, whose heaviest task work had hith- |
erto been to master the difficulties of an
opera of "Meyerbeer," or to paint a land
scape from Poussin. The new washing- ,
machine leaves little to be desired in the |
way of lightening that heaviest of all do
mestic drudgery: a division of labor there
converts a toil, if not into pleasure, at least
into a very honorable necessity and an ulti
mate benefit.
We believe that in a year the amount of
money saved, and of comfort gained, if
every woman in a Southern household
should resolutely set her face toward the
discharge of duties which will be ultimately
forced upon her, would promote the hap
piness, energy, and usefulness of the whole
land. A spirit of independence would
take the place of that inertness which
has hitherto paralyzed all our efforts, and
we would become a stronger and better
people. She might, perhaps, find less time
lor the requirements of fashion, quite'
as much for the management of herfamily,
the cultivation of mind- and a practice of
ail those social virtues and accomplish
ments which conduce so much to the happi
ness of a fireside.

PRESENTMENTS OF THE GRAND JURY.
We, the. undersigned Grand Jurors, for the County of
Greene, at the September Term of the Superior Court for
1866, beg leave to make the following presentments :
We have examined, through appropriate committees, the
several departments that coffie within our supervision.
We find the Records of the Ordinary kept in a neat and
business like manner, reflecting great credit upon that efficient
and gentlemanly officer. ]I is receipts and disbursements of
the poor school fund were found to be strictly accurate.
The books and records of the Clerk Superior, Infe
rior and County Courts, have received a full share of attention
at the hands of said officer. Not a blot mars the appearance
of his pages, and, as far as we have been able to ascertain, the
utmost correctness prevails throughout.
We find the records, books, &c., of the County Clerk,
Sheriff, &c. neatly and correctly kept, reflecting much credit
upon the respective officers in charge of them.
The books of the County Treasurer show that that officer
has received from various sources, since entering upon the ’
duties ot his office, the sum of four thousand two hundred j
and forty-three dollars and ten cents, and that he has paid out, i
for which lie lias the proper vouchers, the sum of four thou- j
sand and four hundred and twenty-six dollars and sixty-six
cents, leaving a balance to his credit on new account of one
hundred and eighty-three dollars and fifty-six cents. Wealso
find his records properly made, and his books neatly kept in a
good business style.
Thu Court House Is in very good condition. The only re
paiis necessary are the resiling the sash with ghus anil repair
ing the blinds.
ihe facing on the door of the Jail should he repaired. The
condition of the inmater are as good as could reasonably be
expected. We would recommend the* use of disinfectants,
when it is found impossible to clean and scour the floor and
walls. We most respectfully call the attention of the Inferio r
Court to this subject.
We And the roads and bridges in the county generally in
had condition, and beg leave to offer the following specif
i presentments:
The roads in the llflth district are in bad order, and un
! worked.
The road in the 14lst district, leading from Georgia Railroad
to Rethany meeting house, not worked in several years.
! The roa d in the 162d district, known as the Sparta road,
i * l-0111 urrcnce s store to Mapp’s civ ss roads, in had condition*
The road trom Greenesboro t o Woodville in bad order, also
: the road from Woodville to Union Poin„.
I The road from Greenesboro to .Scull Shoals via John E.
Jackson’s, in 1 iTtli district, has been changed without autho
rity ol law, and the same unworked and in bad order ; also,
part-ofthe same road near Broughton's plantation, and the
bridge across Richland creek, all in bad order.
There is no bridge over Greene Brier Creek, on the road
leading from Daniel’s Ferry to Madison. The same should
be rebuilt or the road abandoned, as it is impossible to make
a passable ford at that place. We recommend that the bridge
i t rebuilt and the road put in good condition.
We recommend to the Inferior Court that whenever they
cannot work the chain gang so a.4 to make them pay expenses,
they turn the convicts over to the Governor of the State.
Wc do most respectfully urge the Inferior Court rigidly to
enforce the law against delinquent Commissioners, as we are
satisfied the present bad condition of our roads is chargable to
that Court and District Commissioners*
We have examined the extraordinary expanses necessary
to the existence of the County Court, and its adaptation to
the suppression of crimes, and are fully satisfied that the peo
ple would be benefltted by its abolition, and all minor offenses
transferred to the several District Courts.
We do therefore urge our Senators and to
use their influence in having it abolished, and the sooner the
better.
We cannot congratulate ourselves as iij other days upon a
bright and hspefui future. We have just emerged from a
mighty revolution—a revolution, the consequences of which
will never be written; they cannot well be imagined. We
began the war in good faith. We were honest—upon its re
sults we staked our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.
But we have been beaten. By our defeat, we have lost mil- i
lions in Confederate issue, millions in the emancipation of j
our slaves, millions by the repudiation of our State war debts, j
We have virtually lost ever}’ bank note in circulation at the I
time of our surrender—all these things have come upon us, j
and to day we are threatened with absolute want, consequent
upon the failure of the present growing crops. And weile all I
these things arc upon us, the debts of our people are graaually |
lengthening out, and to-day we are overwhelmed in debt and I
unable to pay. The debtor was able, willing, and intended in
good faith to pay. but Government, both State and Federal,
have by their action made it impossible to pay. It was not
of his volition—it was not bis act—must lie alone lie the suf
ferer ? We hope not. What then should be done to afford
the necessary relief?—a relief, that to be felt and appreciated,
must be practical.
For the present, we can suggest no better plan than the one
submitted by Ilis Honor Judge Reese, which has already been
published to the county at the opening of this Term of the
Court. It Ls wise, honorable, equitable and just. And we do
most respectfully, but earnestly, urge upon our people, the
creditor and debtor, to accept and act upon those admonitions
now, as in our opinion great good will inure to all parties by j
its adoption.
But should these wise and patriotic truths pass unheeded,
and our people still refuse to accept a basis so honorable to all
parties, then we would recommend the calling of a convention
by our Legislature to tike into consideration our present
financial troubles, as we believe the people have that right,
and can exe eix it, whenever the condition of the country
demands it.
In taking leave of his Honor Judge Reese, we tender him
our profound thauks for his Uniform courtesy, and his unre
mitting and continued attention to this tody.
To the Solicitor General, William A. Lofton, we present
our eahic-st commendation for his untiring zeal In so faithfully
discharging the duties of his office, and attest his marked re.
t>pect for the preservation of the morals of society, in the pro
secution of crime.
His manifestation toward this body has been marked with
the true spirit of the gentleman.
We request that these presentments be published in the
Greenesboro Herald, the Chronicle A Sentinel, and Augusta

AGRICULTURAL.
Fast Horses ox the Farm.—A writer
in the Mark Lane Express has the follow
ing on the expediency of farmers under
taking to breed horses for raciug pur
poses :
There are a few, aid but very few,
farmers who pay especial attention to
breeding race horses. This is a more
speculative business than breeding horses
for hunting. It may answer pretty well
to procure a good entire blood horse, and
travel him or let him stand as a stud-horse;
but to breed horses tor racing purposes re
quires a great knowledge of the turf, and
a great- expenditure of money in brood
mares aud covering fees and management.
To make way as a race-horse breeder, the
stock must be of first-class blood, and
these are very costly; a-, should the pro
duce fail to be ot use, or become unpopular,
they generally turn out to be of little
value, owing to want, of power as working
animals. For the farmer to engage, in
racing speculations on his own account is a
most dangerous course. If he can breed
respectable animals, by all means sell them
to “racing men." All gambling should
be avoided. Farmers have no valid ground
to rest upon in such a course.
Keeping Bacon Hams.— Make a num
ber of cotton bags, a little larger than your
hams; after your hams are well smoked,
place them in the bags ; then get the best
kind of sweet, well-made hay, cut it with a
knife, and with your hands press it well
around the hams in the bags ; tie the bags
with good strings, put on a card of the
year to show their age, and hang them up
in a garret or some dry room, and they
will hang five years, and they will be better
for boiling than on the day you hung them
up. This method costs but little, and the
bags will last forty years. No flies or bugs
will trouble the hams if the hay is well
pressed around them; the sweating of
the hams will lie taken up by the hay, and
the liay will impart a line flavor to the
hums. The hams should he treated in this
way before hot weather sets in.
Tomato Wine. —It may not he known
to all our readers that an excellent wine
can be made from tomatoes. We have
drunk wine of this kind, which good judges,
unaware of its nature, pronounced still
Catawba. The following is said to be a
good receipt for tomato wine, which is
said to retain all the well known medicinal
properties of the fruit: Express the juice
of ripe tomatoes, put one pound of sugar
to each quart of the juice, and bottle. In
a few weeks it will have the appearance
and flavor of pure wine of the best kind.
No alcohol is needed to preserve it. Mixed
with water, it is a delightful beverage for
the sick.
Tomato Catsup.— Wash and boil one
bushel of tomatoes, When soft, pass the j
whole through a colander, mashing the
mass until it has ceased to drip. Thor.;
will be about eleven quarts of juice, Put
this in a china-lined kettle, and add four
tablespoonfuls of salt, one do. allspice, three
do. ground mustard, 11 teaspoonfuls of
ground black pepper, one do. Capemie.
Boil this two hours at least; if you wish
it thick, three or lour hours. Bottle, puling
a little sweet oil on the top of each to ex
clude air. Seal, and it is ready for use in
two weeks—is better in one year.
Salt as Manure. —A correspondent of
the Canada Fnnmr experimented with
salt this season as manure, lie sowed it
on barley and oats at the rate of one hun
dred and fifty pounds per acre, leaving
strips of unsown grain in each field in order
to test the efficacy of the salt. He is con- I
fident that it added one-third to his crop.
Sweet Green Tomato Pickle.— Peel i
and slice two gallons of green tomatoes,
five tablespoonsful of ground mustard seed,
two gills of mustard seed, two tablespoons
fuJ'of ground cinnamon, one tablespoonful
of cloves, one pound of brown sugar, three
quarts of vinegar. Boil all together until
quite done, ft you choose you may use
one spoonful of ground cinnamon and a
portion of cinnamon bark. Celery tops
improve the flavor. They are excellent.
Cleansing Hair Brushes. —Soda, dis
solved in cold water, is better than soap
and hot water. The latter very soon soft
ens the hairs, and the rubbing completes
their destruction. Soda, having an affinity
for grease, cleanses the brush with very
little friction.

Augusta Savings Bank.
*|MIIS INSTITUTION HAS BEEN
1 paying for the past year, fifteen cents on the Collar
for the Certificates of Deposit which it issued during the
war in exchange for Confederate money. This per
centage has been paid on the recommendation of a com
rnittee composed of Dr. Joseph Milligan, i oriaii hihlev,
Esq.. and W. 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 percent, of our circula
tion, Lntthe committee estimated that we might be able
U> pay this per centage on the supposition that many of
the bills had been lost or destroyed. Since their exami
nation, all tha exchange, coin, bullion, bank bills, bonds,
stocks, coupons, cotton and merchandise held by the
Bank have been sold. Some of these have proved to be
less valuable than the estimate of the committee, and
some more ; but on the whole an advance of nearly twen
ty per ceut. has been realized ; so that the Bank wiil be
able to .pay eighteen cents in the dollar for its change
bills, unless the number destroyed shall be fonnd to be
smaller than was anticipated. No larger per erntage than
this can be paid hereafter, a a we have nothing now to ap
preciate.
We have recently investigated the amount received by
the Bank for its certificates, counting the Confederate
money at its value when received, and find that it was
leas than eighteen cents in the dollar; so that this Bank
will pay hereafter not only to it* depositors, but to its bill
holders, the full amount it received
The uew Savings Bank of Augusta, chartered by the
la*t Legislature, will redeem the change bills of the ‘'An
