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! Baltimore, April, lstlti. MEXICO. Great Liberal Muccesses—The Imperial ists ami ITeneli Disagreeing—Every thing Hast of'tlic Mlcrra Mail re held by the liberals. Washington, Sept. 20. —Mr. Romero, the Mexican Minister, received to-day a dispatch limn VcraCruz, yia New Orleans, with the following news: ‘ The city of Jcabtlan, in (lie State of Oaxasa, was taken by the Mexicans under General Figuera, on the 19th ult. The Austrian garrison was driven from (lie city, leaving their dead anil wounded be hind. The Austrians have also lost (he city of Taeapoastla, in the State of Puebla, the whole garrison having been captured by the Liberals. It was reported at Vera Cruz that Tatuxa, the capital of (he State of Mexico, and only forty-five miles from the city of Mexico, had been captured by General Regules. “Tappan, a post on the northern coast of V era Cruz, has also been taken by the Liberals, and (lie report of the occupation of San Louis Potosi by the Mexicans is confirmed.” “N KW OIIbKANS, Sept. 15. — I coin 111 U nicatc to you the following information received from reliable sources: The Impe rialists have withdrawn from Guayauias and Mazatlan. They have only two posts in Mexico, Vera Cruz and Acapulco. The Liberals hold the roads between Vera Cruz and the city of Mexico. The French are acting on the defensive. ‘‘There is much quarrelling and alarm between the Imperialists and French offi cials. It is rumored that General Bazainc will go to France on the next steamer, if he can get to Vera Cruz without moving a large part of the army to escort him. “There are also other rumors that Maxi milian was about to leave, but that Gen eral Bazaine would not let him go. “From the Rio Grande frontier I have information to the lithinst., and from Mon terey to the 20th nit. “General Escobedo was about to march on Si;n Louis Potosi with 12,000 men, ex pecting to he joined by other commands. Everythin,!? east of the Sierra Madre is in the hands of the Liberals. [t'orrfspomlrtnffl x>l illß New lurk Hm'uUl.) 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 est to open the Jalapa route. The garri son at Jalapa has been strongly reinforced. Citizens living near the city of YeraCruz are removing inside of the walls for protec tion. The work of constructing new forti fications still progresses. 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 town with this notice: “At nine o'clock the soldiers of the Cross will open fire in the market place on the kingdom of the devil. A procession will be formed to pro ceed to the field, when a second volley will be fired on the armies of his Satanic Majes ty- ’ Products of Sou them Labor. 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 provided tor, if it aldue had been the ob 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 weighed, and the ocean >o measured, and the clouds so marshalled, and the storms so tempered, and the seasons so graduated, as best to envokc if into life, and tint its clothing, aud sustain its existence.

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.

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.

Dissolution or the Kingdom of Hanover, i 1 On the first of September a deputation f 1 from the Kingdom ot Hanover waited upon 1 the King of Prussia in Berlin, and pro- j ! sented him an address, appealing to him ! not to extinguish the royal house of Han- ! j over. The address concludes as follows : It cannot be agreeable to your Majesty to dethrone a Prince whose dynasty has been connected with the country for nearly a thousand years, and who equally wears his crown by the Grace of God—to de- ! throne him simply because, taking a dif 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.

The sermon is said to have been written by the Duke of Buckingham, and was as follows: “All I shall say of her is this: “She was bom well, she married well, she lived well, and she died well —for she was born at Shadwell, married Cress well. she lived at Olerken-well, and died at Bride-well.” In the Y\ rong Few. —A distinguished divine, of Fenian proclivities, was invited to fill the ]ml pit of one of cur prominent churches last Sunday, and in bis first prayer took occasion to appeal to the Al mighty to conduct the coming elections in favor of the congressional party; to bless and protect the officers of the government and guide them in the management of af fairs : to bless the President, pardon his man// sins, and, if not iiiconsistant, to take him to heaven at once, and, to send its no more Andy Johnsons. The prayer, no doubt, expressed the de sires of the minister, but a respectable por tion of the congregation didn’t see it in that light, and qu j'ly withdrew from the church. —Cincinnati Commercial. 18f/i. 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.

Death of English Kings. William the Conqueror died front enor mous fat, from drink, and from the vio lence ot his passions. William Rufus died the death of the poor stag he hunted. Henry the First died of gluttony. Henry the Second died of a broken heart, occasioned by the bad conduct of his children, Richard Coeur do lion died like the ani mal from which his heart was named, by an arrow from an archer. John dietl nobody knows how, but it is s;tid of chagrin, which, we suppose is an other term for a dose of hellebore. Henry the Third is said to have died a natural death. Edward the First is likewise said to have died of a natural sickness, a sick ness which it would puzzle all the colleges of physi cians to denominate. Edward the Second was most barbarous ly murdered by ruffians employed by his own mother and her paramour. Edward tho Third died of dotage. Richard the Second died of starvation, the very reverse of George the Fourth. Henry the Fourth is said to have died from fits caused by uneasiness, and uneasi ness in palaces in those days was a very common complaint. Henry the Fifth is said to have died of a painful affliction prematurely. This is a courtly phrase ffir getting rid of a bad king. Henry the Sixth died in prison, by means known then only to his jailor, and known now onlv to heaven. Edward the Fifth was strangled in the tower by his .uncle, Richard the Third. Henry the Seventh wasted away as a miser ought to do. Henry the Eighth died of carbuncles and fury. Edward the Sxth died of a decline. Queen Mary is said to have died of a broken heart , whereas she died of eating . too much of black pudding. Old Queen Bess is said to have died of melancholy, from having sacrificed Essex to his enemies—his private character not, being above suspicion. James the First died of drinking, and a nameless vice. Charles the First died a righteous death , on the scaffold. Charles the Second died suddenly, it is said, of apoplexy. William the Third died from consump tive habits of body, and from the stumb ling of his hor.se. Queen Annie died from her attachment to “strong water,” or in other words, from drunkenness, which the physicians politely (silled dropsy. George the First died of drunkenness, which his physicians politely called an apopletic fit. George the Second died of a rupture of the heart, which the periodicals of that day termed a visitation of God. It is the only instance in which God ever touched his heart. George the Third died as he had lived— a madman. Throughout life lie was at least a consistent monarch. George the Fourth died of gluttony and drunkenness. William the Fourth died amid the sym pathies of his subjects. 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 Constitutionalist, Augus a, Ga ROBERT L. McWHORTER, FJteman. John C. Merritt, Miles G.

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.

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 gu*ta Savings Bank,” at their office No. 223 Broad street H.
