uilje lUeckln press. SATURDAY January 9, ISG9 THE UNSEEN - BATTLE-FIELD. There is an unseen battle-field In every human breast. Where two opposing forces meet, And where they seldom rest. That field is hid from mortal sight — ’Tis only seen by one, Who knows alone where victory lies When each day’s light is done. (>ne army clusters strong and fierce — Their chief of demon form; 11 is brow is like the thunder cloud His voice the bursting storm. Ills captains Pride, and Lust, and Hate, Whose troops watch night and day Swift to detect the weakest point, And thirsting for the fray. Contending with this mighty force Is but a little band; Yet there, with an unquailing front, Those warriors firmly stand. Their leader is Jf God-like form, Os countenance serene; And glowing on Ids naked 1 ;v. ,t A single cross is seen. His captains. Faith, and Hope, and Love, Point to that wondrous sign ; And gazing on it, till receive Strength from a source Divine. They feel it speaks a glorious truth, A truth as great as sure, That to tli > victors they must learn To love, confide, endure. That faith sublime, in wildest strife, Imparts a holy calm; For every deadly blow a shield, For every wound a balm. And when they win that battle-field, Past toil is quite forgot; The plain where carnage once had reigned Becomes a. hallowed spot. The spot where joy of ilowcrs and peace Spring from the fertile sod. And breathe (lie perfume of their praise On every breeze of God. A Visit to the Sewers of Paris. A woman who signs herself E. 1). W., is writing her “Experiences ill Europe” for the Philadelphia Evening fiulletin. In a late letter she de scribes, as follows, a visit to the cele brated. sewers of Paris: Yesterday, the sth of November, was the day appointed by the chief of the sewerage department for our party to enter the subterranean vaults of Paris, so interesting to readers of Lcs Miserable*. The ticket of notification informed us that we must he at the Place <le la Madeleine, on the side of the Boulevard Molesherbes, at one and a quarter o’clock precisely. Ar riving, we found about twenty-four persons assembled around a temporary railing of iron that enclosed the open ing to the sewers, ttvo iron doors that lay flat on the pavement just like our covers over the gas and water pipes in the streets of Philadelphia. The doors opened, a narrow spiral stair-wav was discovered, and a ray of light from a lamp far down the dismal entrance rather increased the gloom thau any attractions the place might have. However, when the chief, dressed in government uniform, with tin* title of his office in gilt letters placed conspicuously on liis hat, gave signal, wq started, single iile, and in ;i moment were nearly blinded by a glare of light from rows of kerosene lamps in the hands of men who were to conduct us through the sewers. At the foot of about twenty-five steps, two large boats were in waiting for u and when my sight became man ageable, that was at first dazzled by the -winging lights reflected upon the v.-ater, the boat rocking as each one stepped on the side, I tried to realize • oat 1 was not entering a death-barge on the Styx, or a hearse gondola on the \ in Xloi'a, or funeral canal of Venice, i ..y night. Who would imagine a sewer, through which the dish-water of Paris was carried, could he converted into a canal twelve feet broad, a foot path on cither side of solid stone, where i vjo persons could pass each other; a ■. nulled roof, along which- water and •/as pipes, two feet in diameter, were conducted, and telegraph wires by dozens were held. From Ihe centre of the arch large 1 nip- were suspended every ten or , vveive led. Our party having sealed themselves in two boats, there were t wen tv men in blue bonnets and wooden sabots ready to seize the ropes when the command “Avaucez' was given. Presently a faint sound of a ; >l,: was heard that grew louder as it v. a caught up and echoed from every angle of the sewers. Our chief gave a drill whistle, and the men started on a trot. On the sides of the walls nail white porcelain plates were in rted. bearing in black letters tbc ;e: and heights of risings of the v,.'icr; at different periods, some of Pem considerably above our heads, ami - suggestive of the horrors escaped v Jean Valjean, at the Place de la ; tilt, at the time of the French rev olution. The names of the streets der which we passed and the cor ;u r of the cross streets were marked, ~ we could tell exactly our direction. 1 burning down the main sewer of the it:;. J toy ale to the Place de la Con . !( . we found —what do you sup .<• > —a train of cars waiting for us! of the prettiest little cars I ever ■w. They consisted of six platforms, it,.' eight feet square, with brass V w seats cushioned with red i;«r, no lop to the cars; and on • eJnier of the cars a brass lamp, grained glass globes, formed a oi igliTand beautiful finish to this fairy like conveyance. Tiie sewer was narrower here, and '■ heels of the cars ran on brass slid on the edges of the foot ■•; 1 1. - . Mach car had an iron handle ;,:;ck and front, with a brass cross piece if those on our hose carriages at When the cars started, four , ii .illing and pushing each down the grade of the Kivoli sewer, the ;,,!!!• . ista of the illuminated vault, iL regular clack of the sabots on the • = .ue walk, water splasjiing into the side entrances either on stone steps to :.;e and. tin force, or inverted arches to .it splashing of the main canal, < s: human locomotives, the expres tii oi delight and wonder on the laces of our party, strongly thrown out by the four foot-lights on each car all was so strange, and half pleasing, half frightful that, like the rest, I waited to see what the end would be. After trotting a mile and a half wo were suddenly landed at a large iron gate, and so intense was the light there that I went 'back to my first theory, and concluded we. were at the gate of Dante’s Inferno. But it was no such place; we had arrived at the Place du Ghatelct, and the light was the powerful sun of noonday on the white embankment of the Seine, and opposite the two tall towers of the Palais de J ustice, inviting us to come and see that we were in a world of reality, that there the beautiful Marie Antoinette suffered the tortures of imprisonment, and from there was re leased by death alone. Giants of Olden Times- In one of his great lectures, Prof. Silliman, the younger, alluded to Rie skeleton of an enormous lizard of eighty feet. From this the Professor inferred, as no living specimen of such magnitude has ever *been found, that the species which it represents has de generated. The verity of his position he rather singularly endeavored to en force by ass allusion to the well known existence of giants in olden times. The following list is the data upon this sin gular hypothesis is based: The giant exhibited at Rouen in PB3O, the Professor says, measured near eighteen feet. Gorapius saw a girl that was ten feet high. The Giant Galabria, brought from Arabia to Home, under Claudius Ciesar, was ten feet high. Fanum, who lived in the time of Eugene 11, measured eleven feet. The Chevalier Scrog, in his voyage to the Peak found in one of the caravans of that mountain the head of the Ganich, who had sixty teeth and was not less than fifteen feet high. The giant Farragus, slain by Or lande, nephew of Charlemagne, was twenty-eight feet high. In 1814, near St. German, was found the tomb of the giant Isoret, who was not less than thirty feet high. In 1599, near Rouen, was found a skeleton whose skull held a bushel of corn, and who was nineteen feet high. The giant Bacart was twenty-two feet high ; his thigh hones were found in 1703 near the river Modcri. In 1823, near the pastle in Daphinc, a tomb was found thirty fegt long, sixteen wide and eight high, on which was cut in gray stone these words, “ Ketolochus Rex.” The skeleton was found entire, twenty and one fourth feet across the shoulders, and five feet from the breast hone to the back. Near Palermo, in Sicily, was found the skeleton of a giant thirty feel high, and in 1559 another forty feet high. Near M azrino, in Sicily, in 1810, was found the skeleton of a giant thirty feet high, the head was the size of a hogshead, and each of his teeth weighed nearly five ounces. We have no doubt that “ there were giants in those days, ’ and the past perhaps more prolific in producing them than the present. But the his tory of the giants during the olden time, was not more remarkable than that of dwarfs, several of whom were even smaller than the Thumbs and Nuts of our own time. Science axi) Relic;] ox. —The Buf falo Christian Advocate -gives a de tailed report of a lecture by Bishop Coxe on the “Connection of Science and Revealed Religion,” full of aston ishing facts. We learn from it that the crust of the earth is just twenty one miles thick, that the world's con flagration has already begun, as the internal tires are turning rapidly to its annihilation; that earthquakes have multiplied since the Christian era, and indicates a speedy collapse of our sys tern; that, if the Lisbon earthquake had been a little more severe, the shock would have driven out that portion of its surface; and, most wonderful of all, that, “on the first day of the pres ent century a little planet was discov ered by Kepler, in our system, and since then a large family of these little planets have appeared, which are parts oi an exploded world. Some of these tragmeuts fell on the earth in the shape of meteors.

Better than grandeur, better than gold, Than rank and titles a thousand fold, Is a healthy body, a mind at cast:, And simple pleasures that always please; A heart that can feel for another’s woe And share his joy with a genial glow; With sympathies large enough to enfold All men as brothers, is better than gokl. Better than gold is a conscience clear, Though toiling for bread in an humble sphere; Doubly blest with content and health, Untried by the lust of cares or wealth; Lowly living and lofty thought Adorn and ennoble a poor man’s cot, For mind and morals in nature’s plan, Are the genuine tests of a gentleman. Better than gold is the sweet repose Os the sons of tail when their labors close; Better than gold is t he poor man’s sleep And the balm that drops on his slumber deep, , . , , Bring sleeping draughts to the downy bed, Where luxury pillows liis aching bead, ilis simple opiate labor deems A shorter road to the land of dreams. Better than gold is a thinking mind. That in the realm of books can find A treasure surpassing Australian ore, And live with the great and good of yore The sage’s lord and the poet’s lay; The glories of empire passed away; The world’s great drama will thus unfold And yield a pleasure better than gold. Better than gold is a peaceful home, Where all the fire-side charities come, The shrine of love, the heaven of life, Hallowed by mother, or sister, or wife; However humble the home may be, Or tried with sorrow by heaven’s decree— Tlfb blessings that never were bought or sold, And centre there, are better than gold. The Southern Colonies in Brazil—A Sorry Picture. The Mobile Tribune prints an ac count of the experiences of an Ala bamian, James. J. Selby, who went to Brazil in 1867 and has just returned : Mr. Selby landed first at Rio and took pas sage from there for Para, in the government steamer, for the purpose of joining the colo nists who went from Mobile under the guid ance oc Major Hastings, and had settled some distance up tire Amazon. The Brazilian Government had pledged itself to transport American emigrants to any part of Brazil where they might wish to settle. The expe rience of Mr. Selby of the maimer in which that pledge was kept was anything but grat ifying. After great trouble and numerous delays be secured a ticket and went on board the steamer. During the passage, that lasted twenty davs, he was night and day in open air, and afforded no shelter from sun or rain. I le was furnished two meals a day of farina, which were served in a huge basin set out upon the deck for the accommodation of the dock passengers. The colonists who went out with Hastings were promised supplies for six months or their equivalent in money, with which to pur chase supplies where they might deem proper. The ollicial charged with furnishing the set tlers with supplies is Vice President of the province of Peru. With the money he had received from the Government for the pur pose designated, lie established a i tore on the bank of the river, filled it with the cheapest groceries he could obtain, and forced the set tlers to buy from him at the highest cash price, or sain-c. The settlement is distant from the river about eight miles; a sandy desert without shade intervening; and once there the settlers had to trudge under a tropi cal sun, bearing on their backs the poor but costly groceries supplied by the enterprising Pinto. Delicate women from Alabama had often to perform that fearful task. Of.the families that went out with Hast ings, only four remain at the settlement; the rest have gone to Para, as a first step toward getting back borne. Those that remain are the following: Vaughn, Mendenhall, Steel and Emmett, While the Hastings colony has been reduced to a remnant, all tlie other American colonics have Jiecn utterly broken up; tlie colonists coming in as best they could to the nearest seaports, generally in an absolutely destitute condition. +• Peach in Virginia. —The Rich mond M7t.ii/, after appealing to Con gress and the Northern people to do all in their power to promote the restoration of. good feeling between the North and South, says; “We have reason to know that influences are at work in our highest Virginia circles looking to this desirable end. The best intellects and the purest characters of this State are now seri ously devotihg themselves to the pre paration and organization of measures designed to end strife, and to satisfy any rational demand that can be made upon us. It may be that there are a few among us who prefer strife to .peace, the sword to the plowshare, decay to prosperity, universal ruin to universal well being, If sucli thorp be, they will be harmless when all avlio hold different views shall place them selves before the country in solid array.” Suisriee’s Sales. — A good deal of property was offered at Ellis’ auction sale yesterday by ex-Sheriff Martin. Owners bad failed to pay taxes, A great portion could not get a bidder, and the majority of that knocked off did not bring a sufficient price to pay half the tax and costs levied on it. The State will lose a good many dollars by this operation. The owners can re deem the property by giving the buyer the purchase money, with ten per cent, interest, at any time within a year of the sale. —Columbus Sun, 6th. Railroad and Factory Stock. — Yesterday, the Messrs. Ellis sold at auction stock of the Eagle and Plncnix Manufacturing Company at $1.0,3 ; Southwestern Railroad stock, with accruing interest, estimated at 4 per cent., sold at $f .02 ; Muscogee stock, merged with Southwestern, brought from 92 to 93. ' This sale must be regarded as an evidence of the sound ness and prosperity of our Factory and Railroad enterprises. — Columbus Jdnquirer , Gth. Planting in 1869. —We are assured by those who arc well posted in such matters, that there w ill be more cot t<%i planted in Texas the ensuing year by half, than has been planted on any preceding year in the history of the State.

Matt, the Rector of Cavalry Church, in Louisville. On his phantom steed, with passion’s speed, Death sweeps on liis circuits wide; Through every zone he rides alone, Willi dread as his w r eird bride. Pause and think On the brink Os the tide Dim and wide In the gloom Os thy doom Passing thee. With a mocking glee o’er every sea, He gathers his tracking storm, And he hunts down life in its gasping strife, In every breathing form; With his muffled feet, his courser fleet, O’ertakes each flying man, And summons him back, in every crowd. To tramp in his caravan. Ponder! sigh! Each must die; Vengeful death, In each breath, Conquers life. To the laughing child and the savage wild, To the maiden in mystic light— To the rayless mind, in mission kind— To hope, with its beamings bright— To the proud and great in pomp of state— To all of a vagrant’s birth— To the heart of grief, like a smitten leaf— To all of this moaning earth, Hastens death. Ponder death! Inky waves, . Silent graves, All around Thee abound, Man! O man! Augusta Prices Current Augusta, Ga., January 8, 1869 FINANCIAL. GEORGIA BANKS.
