‘•All Cluiet Along the Potomac to lo-
MUfit."
The Jo' lowing was published during the
war and we reprodu ° :t Fr "* l.oauty :
All quiet along tlie Potomac to-night,
Kxcept now and then that a picket
is shot as he walks on his post to and fro,
|jy « rifleman hid in a tliicKet.
• Pis nothing —a private or two, now and
then,
Will not count in the news of tne battle;
>ot an officer lost—only one of tlie men.
Moaning out, all alone, the death-rattle.
All quiet along the Potomac to-night,
Where the soldiers lie peacefully dream
ing ;
Their tents in the eye of the clear autumn
moon,
Or the light Os the watch-tires, are gleam
ing 1
A tremulous sign as the gentle night wind
Through the forest leaves slowly is
creeping,
While the stars up above with their glitter
ing eyes,
Keep guard, for the army is sleeping.
There’s only the sound of the lone sentry s
tread,
As he tramps, from the rock to tne foun
tain, , ~
And thinks of the two on the low trundle
bed,
Far away in the coton toe mountain ;
His musket falls slack, and his face, dark
and grim,
tlrows gentle with memories tender,
As he mutters a prayer for the children
asleep,
For their—mother rnay Heaven defend
her !
Tiie moon, seems to shine now as brightly I
as then—
That night, when the love yet unspoken
Jjea|M;d up to his lips, and when low-mur
mured vows
Were pledged to lie ever unbroken ;
Then drawing his sleeve roughly over his |
eyes,
He dashes off tears that are welling, i
And gathers Ins gun closer up to its place,
As if to keep down the heart-swelling.
Jle passes the fountain, the blasted pine
tree,
Th* footstep is lagging and weary ;
Yet onward lie goes through the broad belt
of light,
Toward the shades of a forest so dreary.
Hark ! was it the light wind that rustled
the leaves ? 0
Wits T the moonlight so wondrotudy
flashing ?
II looked like a rifle—“Ha ! Mary, good
bye !"
And the life-blood is ebbing and plash
ing.
A II quiet along Iho Potomac, to-night,
No sound, save the rush of the river ;
While soil falls the dew on the face of the
dead,
The J'ickct's off dull/ forever !
The Jolly Old Pedagogue.
There was a jolly old pedagogue, longago,
Tall and slender, and sallow and dry;
His form was limit anil Ins gait was slow,
And Ins long, thin hair was white as snow,
JJut ;t wonderful twinkle shone in liis
eye;
And lie sang every night as lie went to
lied,
“ Let us lie happy down hero below ;
Tin* living should live, though the dead be ■
dead,’’
Said the jolly old pedagogue, longago. j
He taught the scholars tlio Ituin of Three,
Heading, and writing, and history too;
lie took the little ones on his knee.
For a kind old heart in his breast had lie,
And the wants of Hie littlest child he
knew.
“ Learn while you’re young,” lie often
said,
“There is much to enjoy down hero be
low ;
Life for the living, and rest for the dead !”
Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago.
With tlie stupidest boy ho was kind and
cool,
Speaking Only in tlie gentlest tones ;
The rod was scarcely known in his school —
Whipping to him was a barbarous rule,
And too hard work for liis poor old
hones;
besides, it was painful, lie sometimes said;
“We should mako life pleasant down
here below,
The living need charity more than the
dead,”
Said the jolly old pedagogue, longago.
He lived in tlio house by the hawthorn
lane,
With roses and woodbine over the door;
liis rooms were quiet, and neat, and plain,
tint a spirit of comfort there held reign,
And made him forget ho was old and
poor.
“ I need so little,” lie often said :
“ And my friends and relatives here lie
low
Won’t litigate over me when 1 am dead,”
Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago.
Itut the pleasantest times ho had of all
Were tlie sociable hours he used to pass,
With tlie clmir tipped back to a neighbor’s
wall,
Making an unceremonious call,
Over a pipe and friendly glass ;
Tins was the finest pleasure, lie said,
Os I lie many ho tasted here below ;
“ Who has no cronies had better be dead,”
Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago.
The jolly old pedagogue’s wrinkled face
Melted all over in sunshiny smiles;
lie stirred liis glass with an old school
grace,
Chuckled, and sipped, and prattled apace,
Till th" house grew merry front cellar to
It les.
“ I sun a pretty old n an," lie gently said,
“ I've lingered a long time here below;
Hut my iieart is fresh, if my youth is fled!”
Said' the jolly old pedagogue, long ago.
lie smoked his pipe in the balmy air
Every night when the sun went down;
And the soft wind played in liis silvery
hair,
Leaving its tenderost kisses there
On the jolly old pedagogue’s jolly old
crown ;
And feeling tlie kisses, lie smiled and
said:
“ ’Twiis a glorious world down here be
low ;
Why wait for happiness till wearodead?”
Said this jolly old pedagoguo, long ago,
lie sat at liis door one midsummer night,
After the sun had sunk in the West,
And the lingering beams of golden light
Made liis kindly old lace look warm and
bright
While the odorous night-winds whis
pered “ Rest!”
Gently, gently, he bowed liis head :
There were angels waiting for him, I
know ;
Ho was sure of liis happiness, living or
dead.
This jolly old pedagogue, long ago.

beam
That trembled to earth in tlio patriarch's

Was a ladder of song in the wilderness

.From the pillow of stone to the bine of the

And the angels descending to dwell with

“China” and "Meax.’
All the hearts are not dead, not under the

To the girls that sang alto—to the girls
that sang air!
“bet us sing in Ilis praise,” the minister

All the psalm Imolcs atonee lluttered open

Summed their dotted wings in the words

While the leader leaped into the tltnp just
ahead.
And politely picked out the key-note with
a fork.
And the vicious old viol wont growling j
along
At the heals of the girls in the rear of the
song.
1 need not a wing—bid no genii come,
With a wonderful web from Arabian
loom.
When the world was in rhythm and life
was its rhyme;
Where the streams of the years (lowed up
noiseless and narrow,
That across it there tioated the song of a
sparrow;
For a sprig of green caraway carries me ,
there.
To the old village church and the old vil
lage choir.
When clear of the door my feet slowly
swung.
And timed the sweet praise of the song as
they sung.
Till the glory aslant from the afternoon

Seamed the ratters of gold in God temple ,

And where “Coronation," exnUingly

llow strange are the freaks of memory !
The lessons of life we forget,
While a trifle, a trick or color,
In the wonderful web is set
I Set by some mordant of fancy,
And, despite the wear and tear
Os time or distance or trouble,
Insists on its right to be there.
A chance lias brought us together ;
Our talk was of matters of course ;
We were nothing, one to the other.
But a short half-hour's resource.
We spoke of French acting and actors,
And their easy, natural way—
Os the weather, for it was raining.
As we drove home from the play. i
We debated the social nothings
Aren take such pains to discuss ;
The thunderous rumors of battle
Were silent the while lor us.
Arrived ;.t her door, we left her
With a (trippingly hurried adieu.
And our wheels went crunching the gravel j
Os the oak-darkened avenue.
As we drove away through the shadow,
The candle she held in the door.
From rain -varnished tree to tree-trunk
Flashed fainter, and flashed no more—
Flashed fainter and wholly faded
lie fore we had passed the wood ;
JJut the light of the face behind it
Went wi.li me and stayed for good.
The vision of scarce a moment,
And hardly marked at tho time,
It comes unbidden to haunt me,
Like;! scrap of ballad rhyme.
Had she beauty ? Well, not what they vail
so;
You may find a thousand as fair.
And yet there's her face in iny memory,
With no special right to be there.
As I sit sometimes in the twilight,
And call bad: to life in tbe coals
Old faces and hopes and fancies
Long buried, good rest to their souls !
Her face shine- out of tlie embers :
I see her holding the light.
And hear the crunch of tne gravel
And tne sweep of the rain that night.
’Tis a face that can never grow older,
That can never part with its gleam ;
"Tis a gracious possession forever,
For what is it all but a dream ?
[Atlanta Monthly.

BY WILLIAM ALEXANDKR,
Asa child in a quiet place.
Which earth's wild whirl hath hardly I
stirred,
Grows shy as some fair forest bird,
And feareth every stranger’s face—
And wots not what a world there is
Os love beyond liis little isle,
Half jealous of his father’s smile,
Half jealous of liis mother’s kiss.
But when he leaves tiiat strip of strand, I
Life's larger continent to explore,
lie flndeth friends on tiie fair shore,
And graspeth many a brother’s hand ;
Ho may I deem it fares with tl.ee—
So may 1 think that thou hast found,
O, man of God! who standest crown’d
With glory on the crystal sen !
Where all thejiurps are heavenly sweet,
Where all the palms are passing green ;
Where on ail laces falls the sheen
From tho temple of the gulden street,
Are hands thou neverthought’s would fold
Tho heavenly harp, the fadeless palm;
| And faces most divinely calm
1 Thou never thouglitest to behold.
Forgive if, in thy tex’ual art,
| J see tltee what thou art not now,
1 With something of a narrow brow,
j And something of a narrow heart:
If any buds that thou hast strewn
! To me look dry for lack of showers,
! And scentless as Platonic flowers,
! Pale white beneath tlie pale white moon.
| For still I think in worlds above
j Tho narrow tirowgrows briglitand broad,
I With tho great purposes of God,
And the heart widens with His Love,
Trusting.

When the weary sun is sinking,
< lathering purple in the West,
Binding ail the elouds about him
With the crimson of liis vest,
Aral the daisy folds its blossom
Hound tlie dewdropon its breast ;
Then begins my heart to tremble
With its weight of sweet unrest.
For thedying daylight brings me
Whispers from the linden tree,
And when shadows cross the meadow
Aide's waitingthere for me;
.So I watch the silver poplar «
’Till its leaves turn from tlie light,
And I know, by our love's dial,
That there standeth my delight.
Baby brow ol'purest softness
Shading eyes of deepest brown,
Saucy curls so twined with gloamings
That their line was never known ;
And her cheeks, flushed by the racing
Thut (ho smiles unci dimples keep,
Steal lieiirls to join the chasing
i ii the maddest lover’s leap.
Darling Allie at tlie trysting,
With her brown eyes full of love,
Watching down the strip 'ol'wood land
While I cross tlie hill above,
And creep 'ncuth the very shadows
| That fall on her brow and hair,
i Catching all her sweet abaudon,
i Orhcrpetulent despair.
j Then our hearts go dancing wildly
To a music of their own,
1 While the stars smile their approving,
And a holy hush comes down ;
I And tlio leaves shake out their rustling,
j Hiding whispers from the night,
| And tlie liare-bells bow in homage
| At tlie l'eet of my delight.
Mil Davis at Montreal. —A large
j and fashionable audience was present at
j the Theatre Royal at Montreal, on Wed
nesday night, to witness tlie representation
of “The Rivals,” lor the benefit of the
Southern Relief Fund. Mr. Davis at
tended incognito, and between I he first and
second arts lie was recognized by the au
dience, who arose and cheered him loudly.
Subsequently the orchestra played Dixie,
and on the termination three cheers were
again given, which Mr. Davis recognized
by repeated hows., He was accompanied
by several members of the Howell family.
The Cuban Telegraph. —lntelligence
has been received in New York that every
thing is ready at Havana for the Florida
cable. The telegraphic station is finished,
the operators are appointed, the side posts
put, and the wires are being placed for the

I The tariff of charges lias been published.
I It is a provisional one, however, and it is
to be hoped, says the correspondent, that
the plan ofcounting all letters or messages
j and dividing the total by five, to compute

| altered.
Progress of the West. —A eorre
; spondent of the Cincinnati Gazette writes:
j Seventy-three years ago the first boat
started from Cincinnati up the Ohio. It
j was bullet proof, equipped with two can
; non and small arms. The round trip to
; Pittsburg was made in about four weeks.
At that time the Queen City was a mere
military post, which three years afterward
only contained live hundred inhabitants.
: Pittsburg was a little nest of unclean birds,
J built away up in the forks of this great
highway of nature, and between these
two points a wilderness stretched on either
side of the river whose wild grandeur was
| only emphasized by the two or three dots
which had been made by the forerunner
;of ft coming civilization. Seventy-three
j years ago! and Fort Washington, wish
a population of two or three hundred,
| is Cincinnati with a population of 250,000;
j Pittsburg is no longer a nest, but it is a
great city whose breath of smoke and
thousand" tongues of flames heat the very
I atmosphere that surrounds it; the two or
three dots of civilization between those
two points have .multiplied into a hundred
, and ten thriving cities and villages, all
palpitating with tut sudqstry of a free and
prosperous people. * i.v .steamers that
now ply the river, could they ii; be brought
together, would make a floating city in
which hundred thousand people could
dwell with fort.

■ 'll host of Tilt Past Constitution.'
J n bis late speech of tL: Conference re
port. commenting upon the fact that the
Senate was behind the House in the niaith
of Radicalism, 3lr. Stevens said:
“Some fragments of the o.d shattered
Constitution had stuck, perhaps, in the
kidneys of some Senators J laughter and
troubled them at night. Y\ hen they tried
to progress, the ghost of the past Constitu
tion was found in their way, and obstruct
ed them. Perhaps that was natural
enough, lie did not iinJ any fault with it.
This is gracious, aud people who are
haunted by "the ghost of the past Consti
tution,- ’or who are afflicted with what
may now be termed Stevens’ “disease of
the kidneys,” have reason to be thankful
It is a natural frailty that the grand mogul
of Radicalism makes all due allowance for.
We like the frankness of the avowal. The
Constitution is pronounced to be dead by
the leader of the dominant party, and it is
only its ghost that now and then stalks
through the halls of Congress, complain
ing. perchance, like the ghost of Hamlet’s
; lather, of its own murder :
"Murder most foul, as at the best it is;
But this most foul, strange and unuat
-1 ural.”*
Will this open the eyes of the American
! people? They have prided themselves
; upon their Constitution as the essence of
political wisdom and tlie great bulwark of
their civil liberties. It is now a disease of i
the kidneys, a thing of the past, a ghost! !
City Registration.
The registry books have been closed for
tbe present, owing, it is said, to a falling
off of those vrho desir.- to register. We i
willingly grant this plea, so far as the ,
colored tvirtion of the community are con- j
ecu i< lut arc at a : to understand
upon what grounds registration has been ,
suspended, when 12<) white men register
and only 2 1 colored on the same night.
The white men who held back to allow the
colt red one- to come forward were just
beginning to get interested, and we trust
the Board will immediately open and give
both sides a fair showing. The city is
rapidly becoming depopulated by travel to
the North, and it would be advisable to
have our citizens register before they
leave, which they undoubtedly would, as a
fair chance was about being offered when
the books closed until August next.
If we considerthe great number of white
men in tbe city who, as yet, have not
registered, we will not be surprised at the
! comparatively small majority of the colored
vo: T.-. Many reasons have influenced the
| whites in refusing to register—not, how
; ever, from any personal desire to do so,
a- i hose who entertained doubts a.s to their
ability were quickly convinced by the
press and tbe addresses of their most
I prominent reliable men. What, these
reasons are, we will not state, but they j
| were, no doubt, produced by tbe uncer- |
: tainty of coming events. To the colored
; men there was no restriction, save a year's
i residence in the city. That there has been |
1 illegal registration in Savannah we will \
! not deny, nor would we impute due knowl- !
j edee of the same to the Board.
In the gre.-.t crowd of colored men which
i daily passed before the eyes of the Board 1
! it was almost impossible to recognize any
; particular man or men, and the mere ask
| ing of the question as to whether they had
j resided one year in the city implied nothing
but an answer of a moral nature, founded
| upon an oath, the nature of which some of
them were ignorant of, as it was not at all
applicable to them. Deception, under this
! system of registration, is almost unavoid
able.
On Saturday and Saturday night the
! number registered was as follows:

The . Crops. —The proprietor of this
paper, who has just returned from an ex
tensive tour through Burke county, re
ports tho corn and cotton crops the best
known for a number of years past. He
says the farmers are making plenty of tho
substantial of life this year, besides an j
abundant crop of the “precious staple.”
In some few isolated instances he saw !
crops almost ruined by the grass, and a
want of goad judgment and practical ex
perience on the part of managers.
Whilst on this subject of crops, we will
mention that we have in our office several j
bolls of cotton, gathered from a couple of |
plantations a short distance from this vil- !
iage, that are full grown and nearly nia- j
tured.
What is best of all, the cotton stocks j
almost everywhere seem to be perfectly
laden with bolls, squares and blossoms— ]
promising a rich yield to the needy plant- i
er, and causing bis heart to leap with joy i
and contentment at tho flattering pros- •.
pent ahead.
| The plantation managed by that most (
I excellent Christian gentleman and thor
i ough farmer, the Rev. M. W. Buli, pre
sents the finest, appearance of any we have
i lately seen, liis corn and cotton look
j beautiful, and promise a heavy yield.—

The Crops in Mississippi. —We learn
, from a private letter, dated Enterprise,
19th, that the crop’prospect, never was
' better, and that vegetation generally is
jin the most flourishing condition. The
people of that neighborhood have been
blessed with an abundance of vegetables.
The corn and potatoes are said to be look
ing very line. The corn crop through the
country is magnificent, and is now consid
ered out of danger. There was some com
plaint about worms in cotton, but unless
some misfortune happen to it there will be
a heavy crop made to tho breadth of land
in cultivation. The writer concludes by
| saying “as to the corn, you would be as
tonished to see it, on the pine lands. [
have never seen anything like it.” —Mobile
Tribune.
Disaster to the Cotton Crops.—ln
telligence from almost every portion of the
South relating to the growing cotton crops
is of a very unfavorable character, and is
attributable to the heavy and incessant
rains of the last three weeks. A letter
from Gainsville, Fla., of date the 16th
inst., addressed to a business firm of this
city, says :
“The rains are upon us and there is an
universal cry of ruin to the cotton crop.
There is also much apprehension of the
appearance of the caterpillar or army
worm.”— Sav. News.
Worms in Cotton. —We regret to hear
that worms are making their appearance
in the growing cotton in some portions of
the country. It, would boa sad hurt to
the country if, the cotton crop should be
injured to a great extent by worms or
| otherwise. The cloudy weather of the last
i day or two will doubtless be of considerable
| disadvantage to the cotton. —- Mont. Adv.,
j In Texas the caterpillars and army worm
J are doing great mischief,
j The recent continued rains have damaged
j materially the Texgn cotton crop.
| Crops, Houston, Texas.— Cotton has
| been injured by excessive rains, and Corn
j has not been kept as clear of weeds and
j grass as was desired ; but the reports of
| crops throughout the State are very en-
I couraging. An immense corn crop will
j undoubtedly be raised. We shall have
! plenty to eat for ourselves and for all who
i move to the State. Bread, beef, and mut
| ton will be abundant. Let us thank God
and take courage. If the worm does not
i prevail, there will be more cotton raised '
I than is believed. Dry weather front this j
i time forth will, as we believe, prevent the
| ravages of the worm.— Telegraph , 9 th inst.

; Mail Advices since our last are at hand
I by steamer Cuba, with dates to July sth.
I From our Correspondence and Brokers’
j Circular of Liverpool, we compile the fol
| lowing facts in reference to tlie Liverpool
| market for the week ending July 4th:
j Total stock on that date 738,000 bales,
I against 749,000 bales the previous week,
and 1,023,000 bales in 1866 same time. i)e-
I crease from tbe preceding week 11,000
! bales. ()£ the stock 386,000 bales we to Ame-
I rican, and 116,000 bales India. The re
| eeipts for the week footed up 30,000 bales
j in all, including 14,000 from this country,
] and 6,000 from India. Total receipts from
| January Ist to July 4th, 1,796,00!) bales, of
i which 934,000 were from this country, and
j 381,000 from India, 276,000 ’ from Brazil,
* 140.000 from Egypt, 64,000 from tlie West
.] Indies. For tlio same period in 1566 the
total receipts were 2,213,000 bales, includ
ing 917,000 from America, 809,000 from In
dia, 297,000 from Brazil, 131,000 from
j Egypt, 58,000 from the West Indies. The
| decrease of imports is thus 417,000 bales
j from last year. From January Ist to July
j 4th the trade had taken 1,175,000 bales of
j all kinds, including 562,000 American,
1 344,000 Indian, 125,000 Brazilian 99,000
Egyptian, 43,000 West Indian. Last year

bales of ail kinds, including 496,000
American, 416,000 Indian, 154,000 llrazil
j ian, 90,000 Egyptian, 42,000 West Indian,
j This shows a decrease of consumption of
| 32,000 bates from last year. From Liverpool,
| Hull and other outports, from January
Ist to July 4th, there had been exported
415,000 bales of all kinds, including 139,000
I American, 221,000 Indian,4B,ooo Brazilian,

ing 120,000 American, 198,000 Indian,

J exports amounting to 5,000 bales as corn- j
pared with last year. Sales of the week
j footed up 54,000 bales, including 41,000 to
| the trade, and 11,000 to exporters. Os the i
| amount taken by the trade 18,000 bales j
j were American, and 16,000 Indian. Ex
| porters took 3,000 American, and 5,000
j Indian. The cotton known to be at sea
j for Great Britain July 4th from America
and India, by mail advices, footed up 632,-
000 bales, 50,000 being from this country,
in 1866 the amount at sea at this time from
India and America footed up 662,000 bales,
including 632,000 from India: decrease this
j year 30,000 bales. The bullion in the bank
had increased during the week £208,901,
and looted up £22,495,855. Rate of discount

| Our own Market for tlie week under
I review lias been exceedingly strong, J
; and on some days fairly active, and we [
close at some advance r on last week’s j
j rates. Spinners and speculators have done I
j the greater part of the buying ; exporters, j
i notwithstanding the rise in gold, not being !
able to operate to any extent at tlie pres
ent range of prices. The offerings have
been rather more liberal than last week, j
but still of a limited character. The selec
tion has been rather better than we have
had for sftme time back, but the low grades
are still largely in excess of requirements.
For grades below Good Ordinary there is
no demand except at a marked concession
in price. The demand of our spinners is
for oven-running list-, from strict Good
Ordinaries upwards. Very few of such
lists have been opened, and the few on the
| market have sold above quotations. There
| lias been a greater disposition on the part
: of buyers to buy than of sellers to sell at
i the present range of prices, the stock be
| iug reduced to so a small a figure that
; holders have great confidence diat the
(present quotations in our market will at
I least be sustained. Sea Islands and extra
staples have remained dull and heavy.
Nankeens have been saleable to some ex
tent during the week, and a few lots have
changed hands at irregular rates, Iso. being
about the going price.
General Reu a UK s.—Crop accounts, by
both mail aud telegraph, uro extremely :
favorable, and the tine weather is doing
much to repair the damage of the June
storm, and it is uow uuiver>allv conceded
that in a majority of cases the effects of this
storm was much exaggerated. North Car
olina has seemingly suffered more than
any other State by the late storm, but ac
counts from there lead us to the opinion
i that ihp increased amount of cotton this
I year planted will bring up the out-turn of
i that State to at least the figures of the past
j year. The accounts of the Sea Island crop :
are, however very unfavorable; both the ■
! Sea Islands themselves aud East Florida, !
■ Irom which two sections come the greater ;
part ‘.f this variety, have suffered very
I much from th. storm, and there now seems j
but little probability of tfce crop of “long !
I cotton” reaching even the small figures of j
the past year. The negroes seem to be work
! ing {comparatively well, and the opinion
! seems general'that much more labor is i
now being obtained from them than was
to be had last year. The cereal crops |
throughout the South are reported very ]
fine, and fire" Joy either harvested or be"- '■
voncl the reach cf damage. The cotton !
" crop seems to he as a rule rather late, hut
preparations for picking are being ener
getically made, and numerous accounts of
'••first blooms” are being heard from the '
extreme noitheru limits of our cotton- j
growing States.
M e hear of no transactions a? yet in cot- !
ton to be delivered from the growing crop.
The idea seems general price will ;
open comparatively high on account of the j
extremelv low figures to which our stocks |
will have been reduced by October. Cal. j
culations have been made concerning the ;
absolute stocks now at the ports, and the )
mo«t Aareiully made figures, go to show
that we have at presem k.-S than 200,i>0,, '
bales on hand in the oulportg, aud it is
generally believed that tb.e cotton m the ;
interior depots and scattered thtoughont j
the country will not exceed 50,000 bales, j
These figures would be startling were it |
•tot for the abundance of the promised
yield and the fair supply held by eonsum- I
ers in both this country and Great Britain,
considered ;n connection with the existing j
condition of trade.
\Ye would take occasion thus earl v in
the season to advise our planter friends of
the great advantage of carefully preparing i
their cottons for market, as last year the i
qualitv of the crop was far below the
standard attained before the war. No i
doubt the diminished control possessed by •
the planters over their labor had much to i
do with the inferior grade of the crop. We
trust that this year, taking a lesson front
the experience of the past, planters will j
use every means, mechanical and per- j
sonal, to improve the quality of their bar- !
; vests, thus not only advancing their own
i interests but assisting to drive out our
foreign competitors from tlie field of cotton
cultivation. So much of the cotton th s
past year was filled with leaf, dust and
I trash, that we feel more and more eon
i 'meed that improved mechanical ap
pliances must tuiie the place of the ab
I sD-utu control which could previously so
skillfully direct the v rk of the laborers.
Animated by this feeling we would advise
j ®<*t planter friends to discard many of the
: olu v.ays of handling cotton and to avail
j themselves of the appliances which m
j genuity and necessity are now bringing to
: light.

I he New York Cry Goods Trade.
iiie trade in domestics for the week has
been rather limited, but prices have been
firmly maintained. The West, the South,
and the Pacific States are all bare of sta
! I’- fi goods ; they have been buying from
; hand to hand so long in anticipation of
lower prices, that the time has ome when
large purchases must be made and the
consequence will be an active market and
a hardening of prices. Brown sheetings
and shiitings move readily, and there is a
better demand lor the liner qualities for
bleaching.
In bleached goods the stock lias very
sensibly decreased, while the demand for
common grades has exhibited a marked
degree of improvement. It is too early at
present lo estimate tlie effect which the
1 growing crop of cotton will have on this
style of goods ; but it is safe to assume
- that the increased demand will about neu
tralize the effect of a large crop.
There is hardly anything doing in drills,
but the demand for jeans, which we
1 noticed last week as active, still continues.
Stripes are but little called for. Ticks
| are inactive, and the-market is well sup
j plied. Denims and eottonades are
i neglected, and the quoted rates are rnere
‘ ly nominal. Printing cloths aie quiet ;
j there is very little inquiry for cloths in
the gray. The demand for prints has been
more lively, and seasonable styles are in
good request at quoted prices. The fali
patterns have not been exhibited; they
will meet a good demand when they come.
In ginghams the demand find ready
sales. Though the season is advanced for
light printed lawns, the better kinds main
tain their prices, but a slight concession is
not denied when there is a disposition to
give large orders. Rolled jaconets,
silesias and cambrics, are without ma
terial change. Muslin do lai nes are less
inquired for than they have been. The
demand from the clothing manufacturers
gives a firm tone to the prices of Italian
cloths, which are in considerable request
at tiiis season, especially in the medium
grades. Tbe same remarks will apply to
most qualities of woolen cloths, though
there is considerable irregularity in prices.
Kentucky jeans are extremely dull, and
the market well supplied. In tlio carpet
trade there is very little doing; the season
of the year is unfavorable, but prices are
firm. Flannels are .without any marked
change. Linen of the coarser descriptions,
the only description, in tact, of American
manufacture, are steady at the quota
tions.
In foreign dry goods tlie market is un
settled. The heavy failures of some im
porters have tended to demoralize jiur
chascs, and there lias been some difficulty
in relation to tlie withdrawal of goods from
bonded warehouses by a large importer
during the week, which have tended to un
settle prices. Tlie business in foreign
goods at tiie present time is limited to the
actual necessities of tiie season.
We understand that tlie committee ap
pointed to examine into tlie affairs of
George A. Wilkes <K Cos., have recommend
ed creditors to accept a compromise of
sixty cents on the dollar.— Independent.
Rev. Isaac W. K. Handy.
We take pleasure in calling attentioh to
tiie following letter from a noble soldier of
tlie lost cause, and. the card W the llev.
Mr. Handy which accompanies it. Our
own knowledge of Mr. Handy’s character,
and his noble and generous conduct to
ward the soldiers stationed around Nor
f‘oil*and Portsmouth in 1&61-2, enables us
to endorse fully all that is said of him by
our esteemed correspondent.
When the Federal army took possession
of Portsmouth in May, 1862, immediately
after its evacuation by tlie forces under
Gen. Huger, Mr. Handy was arrested and
required to take the oatli of allegiance to
the Federal Government. This lie refused
to do. He was then most shamefully and
barbarously persecuted, and subjected toe
personal indignities which would have dis
graced the annals of tlie darkest ages of
the world’s history. Failing to wring from
the noble martyr an acknowledgment of
the supremacy of the Federal Government,
he was thrust into the vile and loathsome
pen at Fort Delaware, where,, for more
than fifteen months, he was confined as a
citizen prisoner.
We know that the great body of the Geor
gia soldiers are poor—that they have been
ruined by tho war, and that they are illy
able to give assistance to those who are in
want, but tiie pittance of one dollar can be
certainly spared by many of them, and
particularly by the members of the old
“Third.” To the latter we make the direct
appeal. It, is well known that tho good
people of Orange County, Virginia, were
impoverished by tlie encampment of Gen
eral Lee’s whole army in their midst dur
j ing the fall and winter of 403 4. They can
do but little for Mr. Handy. Then let the
Georgia soldiers—-all who can, send in at
| once the pittance—-one dollar asked for :

You will remember him as one of the
ministers of Portsmouth, Va., who used to
preach sometimes to tlie 3d Georgia Regi
ment. He is one of the many Vitginians
who were so kind to the members of tlie 3d
Georgia. Perl taps you are aware that lie
tvas in prison at Fort Delaware during fif
teen months of tlie war because he would
not take that detestable oath. While in
prison he was unremitting in his attention
to the. spiritual welfare of his fellow-prison
ers. lie was made the instrument, in tlie
hands of God, of bringing some out of the
bondage of sin into the glorious liberty of
the children of God—from death unto life.
Such as received kindness at ids hands
(and there are many Georgians, I know, !
who did) will thiiix it a privilege to be able !
to make a small return of material aid :
when they see him asking for help.
lie suffered both persecution and afflic- j
tion in our “Lost Cause.” One of tlie re- j
suits of his harsh treatment is that liis I
youngest daughter, a lovely young lady, is j
now a lunatic.
Will you be so kind as to give tiie card j
a place ir. a few numbers of the Chronicle !
and Sentinel (of which I believe you are j
editor). Yon will thus oblige a member of !
your old regiment (Company K).

After arising from his i;o4, he proceeded
into the yard of his residence. Some short
time only had elapsed when his wife heard
the report of a gon. Proceeding to the spot
whence the sound proceeded, Mr. Ley was
found on the ground shot through the chest
dead, with the muzzle of the gun against
his side, and a stick in his hand pressing
against the trigger. The deceased was a i

Public Examination at the Summerville
Seminary.
Messrs. Editors : According to the an
nouncement in your paper, the examina
tion at the above named institution of
learning came off on the 16th and 17th
inst. Everything seemed quite propitious
and the elements even contributed to make
the examination a success, and according
to the testimony of hundreds of competent
witnesses, it was a success. The exercises
commenced at 9 o'c’ock Tuesday, and
continued till Wednesday noon, and they
were of such a character as to interest the
entire auditory, from beginning to end.
One tiling a little peculiar in this examina
tion was that the little boys and girls were
brought prominently forward and examined
closely, and they did themselves and their
instructors great, credit. The programme
was such that there was a happy combina
tion and variety in the music and the ex
amining exercises. Occasionally, Miss
Rhodes, and her pupils in music, would
fill an interlude most delightfully;
and then the Sandersviile Brass
Band would thrill the audience with mar
tial airs, and then a class would be on the
boards and feast the intellect and instruct
the “lang Syne” proficients in the science of
language and figures, by exhibiting the
progressive strides in these very important
branches. From these branches the ex
ercises progressed to the dead languages
and higher mathematics, where equal
credit was done and entertainment afford
ed. On Tuesday evening the exhibition
came off', which was quite interesting and
amusing. The burlesque on the Woman’s
Rights Convention was a decided hit.
Wednesday A. M. was principally occupied
| with the declamatory exercises, which
were very fine indeed, as well as the speei
| mens of English composition by the young
| ladies of the Seminary. Some of the
young speakers showed that they, had fine
j oratorical parts, and all acquitted them
[ selves very well indeed. The P. M. of
Wednesday was occupied by Cos!. Fulsom,
of Gordon, and General A. G. Wright, a
| “‘lost cause” celebrity,
j Colonel F. delivered the prize address
to the pupils who, by industry and appli
i cation, had won them during the session,
in orthography. (This is not the time or
place for a lecture, but one on the subject
| of orthography is greatly needed, as, I sup
! pose editors and printers can abundantly
testily, and the teachers of S. Seminary
i are setting a commendable example in
this direction.) The Colonel’s address.
| though almost an impromptu one, was
I well conceived, appropriately delivered,
| and met universal approbation. We love
| to see these military characters taxing an
, interest in lit tle things and little fnlh-s of
i the age.
After Colonel F. had closed General
Wright was introduced to the audience,
and delivered a chaste and well-timed
speech. Ho was most happy in topics,
and proved himself a master in declamation
—made but a brief allusion to politics,
but showed up the contrast most strik
ingly between then and now. The days
when there was a Government conceived
by patriotism and brought forth by the
people , who enjoyed the liberty secured by
their labors. But civil liberty had turned
in disgust from the Western world, and
had perched in other climes, sadly con
templating the land of her nativity. And,
though gone, many of her traces remain
ed ; among them the primary schools and
othqr institutions of learning. Here, he paid
a handsome tribute to the teachers. From
teachers he went to the scholars, and gave
them wholesome counsel, and many beauti
ful illustrations of the difference between
bravery and courage —moral courage—
which will not soon be forgotten. From
the pupils, the General did as he could not
well help doing, addressed a paragraph to
the ladies. And in this, he was most
happy indeed, as the repeated applause
demonstrated. On the girls and curls lie
was rich ; on wives and women generally
he was racy. His sojourn with us, and
his oration, have left a fame of which lie
may well be proud. The Seminary will
be open for pupils again the 20th of
August, and parties will barely be able to
better themselves elsewhere.
“For noble youth, there is nothing so meet
As learning is, to know the good from ill :
To know the tongues, and perfectly indite,
And oft.ie laws to have a perfect skill,
Things to reform as right and justice will.
For honor is ordained for no cause
But to see right maintained by laws.”

Ex-Gov. IT. Y. Johnson has just written
and published a noble letter of advice to
the people of the erewhile “ Empire State”
o. the South. Every man who loves free
dom and honor better than pelf, and who
would not for safety desert his country and
his people to march into the lodges of their
enemies, every man who wishes to do
right and to acquit himself of his manly
duty in the hour of his country’s direst
need, should read the noble letter, which

! Nashville L ruon <C Dispatch, that the
trial of Col. Ashby at C'iinton, Anderson
county, on the 12th inst., on a base charge
I of crimes committed during the war* re
| suited in his honorable acquittal. The
j accused was arrested last winter and cast
i into a dungeon, and had some difficulty in'
j being admitted to bail. The .State made
jan utter failure in its testimony. The
| chief prosecuting witness was wholly dis
-1 credited. The evidence of' his innocence
| was complete, and men of all parties ap
prove the verdict.

the ascent of the hill is very slow and the

j highest part of the route affords one of the
1 finest views, they venture to say, “ever
i afforded on a street railway. It is of the
: Ohio Valley with the whole city nested
