FORGOTTEN.
Once looking through a little sheaf
Of papers stored from girlhood's years,
I chanced upon a failed leaf
And read, half smiling, half in tears,
This legend on the wrapping set
lu delicate girl-writing small.
■ Never this day, this leaf forget,”
And, lo! 1 had forgot it all.
Nor could I think with all my care
What it did ever mean, and so
I slowly let the summer air
Waft it away, and watched it go
With dreaming gaze. And is it thus.
I mused, with this world’s joys aud griel?
“Never forget,” it seems to us,
As I wrote on my little sheaf;
When, lo! without our knowledge, curled
Our scroll of earth; Its story small
Comes not into that higher world;
Besides—we have forgot it all!
For the Times.]
There are times when the soul is sad and depress
ed,
Though the sun may be bright lu the sky;
There are times when the wild waves sigh for
rest,
When the storm wind is rushing by.
There are times when life grows sad aud weary,
When we dream of a hope lorever flown,
And the soul like some bleak and dreary
Shore becomes, on which the sea doth ever
moan.
As l gaze to-night on “the ocean's wide waste,”
And list to the waves on the shore,
I dream of a hope—a hope of the past,
A hope, which will come uo more.
JACKSON COUNTY, FLA.
ITS I‘F.OPI.E, LANDS, PRODUCTS AND CLI
MATE.
Marianna, Fla., .Tune 28,1876.
Editor of Times: Marianna, the
county site of Jackson county, Flor
ida, is located near the center of the
county, possessing a population of
perhaps one thousand citizens, no
ted for their intelligence and kind
ness to each other, with due hospi
tality to strangers. The court house
is a neat little brick building.
There are four churches, two white
schools, some ten stores tilled with
good lines for the trade; her mer
chants safe and reliable, and draw a
good commercial interest for miles
around. Surrounding the town are
fertile lands yielding a bale of cotton
to every two acres, and ■Thirty-five
bushels of corn. Small grain and
ribbon cane pay well. There are sev
eral other small towns in the county,
namely: Greenwood, Campbleton,
Bellview, Neal’s, Haywood’s and
Port Jackson. Take the county and
draw an average and it may be clas
sed as the best county in Florida.
Her hammock land is good produc
ing as much to the acre as the lauds
of Southwest Georgia, growing any
thing that can be produced ou the
Georgia lands, besides the more trop
ical fruits. It is not sickly, on the
contrary the climatic influences are
good.
“People of all sections might re
sort with the certainty of restoring
their lost physical energies, and add
ing years of pleasurable existence to
their lives. To those afflicted with
pulmonary complaints and diseases
of the mucous membranes, there
is no more desirable refuge in the
South. The county is abundantly
supplied with never-failing springs
of delicious water, that burst forth
from the earth in matchless beauty
and unsurpassed purity; the air is
laden with the breath of pine trees,
and fragrant with the perfume of
myriads of flowers, and everywhere
the influences and scenes are such as
to make the invalid forget that he is
the victim of disease.”
“The soil of Jackson county is the
most fertile of any under cultiva
tion in the State. It is here that the
largest yields of cotton and corn are
to be seen; it is here that Nature re
sponds most liberally to the efforts
of the husbandman; and it is here
that the largest returns can be had
from the smallest expenditure of
labor. The appearance of the face
of the country furnishes one of the
most convincing proofs of the rich
ness of the soil. It is one vast ocean
of vegetation. Immense bodies of
hammock land with their gigantic
growths of hickory, live oak, ash,
and magnolia, meet the eye at every
turn ; while here aud there are inter
spersed large tracts of first-class pine
land easy of cultivation, and reward
ing industry and energy and the far
mer of small means with the most
ample returns. Nor is the luxuriant
character of the vegetation, which
springs spontaneously from the soil,
the only thing that impresses itself
on the beholder; the very wide scope
which vegetation takes here is also a
matter of wonder. Here are to be
found, growing side by side with the
products of the tropics and semi
tropical regions, the cereals of the
North and the hardy plants of cold
latitudes. It seems as if Nature had
done everything possible to
render success in husbandry
certain, and it is only necessary
that man should do a small share to
achieve the grandest results. Per
haps so great a diversity of soil could
not be found within the same limits
anywhere else in the Union. The
average yield of short staple cotton
is 150 pounds of lint to the acre;
of corn, fifteen bushels to the acre;
of oats, fifteen bushels to the acre;
sweet-potatoes, thirty bushels to the
VOL. 2.
acre; and of syrup, 350 gallons to the
acre. Land capable of these yields
can be purchased at from $2 to $lO
per acre, according to character and
the extent of improvements thereon.
Many large tracts of land in the
county are the property of the State,
and can be purchased at seventy
five cents per acre, while there is
still a large quantity of United
States land yet subject to homestead
entry, at the rate of sl4 for 160 acres.
There is also a widespread disposi
tion on the part of large landholders
to divide their lands and share them
with intending settlers on easy ad
vantageous terms. Building material
is abundant and cheap. Lumber is
worth about $lO per thousand, and
in many sections limestone rock can
be found capable of being used in
the construction of dwellings.”
The present growing crops look
well. The people are in fine spirits,
confident of electing the Democratic
ticket of the county and State, and
Will give to the national nominee a
rousing majority on the 7th of next
November. “B.” ’
THE FOI BTH IN EASTERN HARRIS.
HARD WORK—GOOD CROPS—HOPEFUL
PROSPECTS.
Waverly Haul, Ga., July 6, 1876.
Dear Times:—The "glot'iomfourth"
found a noble response at Waverly.
Never was it so aptly celebrated as
by both races yesterday". The occa
sion was worthy of the “Centennial.”
From Ellerslie to Judge O’Neal’s
place (a distance of seven miles; the
day was duly, sensibly and earnestly
observed. Not an idle man, “regard
less of race, color or previous condi
tion of bondage,” could be found.
Even the young men and hoys who
were in the school-room from Jan
uary 3d until the 16th of June were
as ardent and zealous in celebrating
the fourth as their fathers. The
day was by “mutual consent” and
without pre-concert dedictated to
hard “work.”
Never did the fourth of July dawn
“more gloriously.” Never did the
“King of day” shine more brilliantly
until 4 o’clock r. m., when the most
genial shower that has blessed moth
er Eartii in the last hundred years
commenced andcontinued four hours.
It fell so gently that not one drop
was wasted. The soil, burthened
with corn aud cotton, absorbed it all.
To-day the planters of this commu
nity rejoice in the be3t prospect of a
“good crop” that they have enjoyed
since 1860. Every body here is at
work, and has been closely, vigorous
ly and earnestly working since the
first of January. Not a single negro
is seen wandering in idleness. No
vagabond white men are found loung
ing around stores or postofflee, abus
ing the “lazy freedman.” Each one,
old and young, has his ‘'patch,'’ and
in it his leisure is spent. A kind
Providence seems to smile upon
these honest efforts. Thus far not a
field in this immediate community is
the worse for want of rain. And now,
after the most abundant yield of
“small grain,” with corn almost a
“certainty,” and a better prospect
for the quantity of cotton than for a
remunerative prioe, we are waiting to
“clothe” a son of old Muscogee with
Gubernatorial dignity and go into
“winter quarters,” independent of
your meat and corn agents. With a
hearty wish for your success,
I remain yours truly,
ItUSTIC.
Cliaileii Francis Adams Beclarcs in
Favor of Tilden.!
Prom the Boston Herald.]
In a brief interview with the Hon.
Charles Francis Adams at his Quincy
home, immediately after the recep
tion of the news of Gov. Tilden’s
nomination, the veteran statesman
very frankly gave his opinion of the
nomination.
Mr. Adams expressed his surprise
at the convention’s arriving at so
speedy a decision. That Mr. Tilden
had secured the necessary two-thirds
on the second ballot showed his
great strength in his party.
Mr. Tilden, said Mr. Adams, is a
formidable candidate, especially on a
hard money platform. With Mr.
Tilden and this platform the Demo
cratic party stands better, morally,
before the people than does the Re
publican party. Hayes is nothing;
respectable, no doubt, but without
any record as a reformer.
Tilden is in himself a platform. He
has made his record. Of the two,
said Mr. Adams, very decidedly, I
would infinitely prefer to see Mr.
Tilden in the Executive chair. Mr.
Adams further said that he had fear
ed Mr. Tilden’s enemies would stab
him in the back. His foes were job
bers and corrupt men. He will have
hidden enemies to encounter in the
coming campaign. The traditionary
discipline of the Democratic party,
the party pride and inclination, will
cause all Democrats to fall into line
for Mr. Tilden.
Mr. Adams also said he thought
Mr. Tilden would carry his own
State. The independent vote will
probably divide, those voters with
Republican predilections going for
Hayes. However, Gov. Tilden will
secure the support of the opponents
of corruption who desire to see real
work accomplished. The Republi
can platform is weak, especially in
its financial plank. This was an en
deavor to catch both the “soft” and
“hard” money men.
Uen. Gordon—An Important statement
tram Him.
Washington, D. C., July 3,1876.
To the Editor of the Constitutionalist :
The editorial statement of the
Chronicle and Sentinel of the 28th,
inst., that I was absent without a
pair when the enforcement bill pass
ed the Senate, is unfounded. I was
paired with Cameron, of Pennsyl
vania. lam never absent without a
pair. The insinuation that the cause
of my absence was to aid a personal
friend as candidate for Governor, is
equally anfounded. Please ask the
fair minded press of the State to
copy. J. B. Gordon.

The New York Tribune warns the
Republicans that they are liable to
underrate the strength of the St.
Louis ticket, and says; “They will
make a fatal mistake if they do not
understand that it is dangerously
strong, and begin without delay the
efforts necessary to secure success.
They will miserably deceive them
selves if they expect much from
Democratic dissensions. Mr. Til
den has been nominated after astrife
of unprecedented bitterness, it is
true. But it is an old story that
Democratic quarrels end like cat
fights. Mr. Kelly already declares
that he shall do all that he can for
the ticket. The demand for the re

to reconcile the Western oppostion.

The N. Y. Tribune, in a long arti
cle on the first century of the United
States, says: “It has been a century
of development without parallels in
history. Our population has increas
ed from 2,750,000 to 44,675,000. Our
area has been extended from 800,000
to 3,603,844 square miles. The de
velopment of agriculture, under the
pressure of immigration and the
stimulus of mechanical invention,
has been utterly without precedent.
The value of manufactures has ad
vanced from $20,000,000 to $4,200,000,-
000. Our foreign and domestic com
merce has taken gigantic and mar
velous developements. The devel
opment of our mineral resources has
not been the work of a century, but
of fifty years. There was not a sin
gle bank in the Colonies in 1776;
there are mere than six thousand
now. Our internal improvements
have kept pace with immigration.

reported massacre of General Custer's
command be true.
Mr. Hitchcock asked the present
consideration of the bill to provide
for the sale of the Fort Kearney res
ervation in Nebraska, and it was tak
en up and passed.
Mr. Morrill, of Maine, from the
Committee of Conference on the Leg

reported that the committee had been
unable to agree. He went on to ex
plain why they had been unable to

The hour of 12 having arrived, the
Senate met as a court for impeach
ment trial, but on motion of Mr. Ed
munds, to allow Mr. Morrill to con
clude his remarks, the court took a
recess until further notified.
The Senate continued its legisla

cluded his remarks.
HOUSE.
The regular order having been de
manded, the House took up the bill
to grant a pension to Daniel O’Leary,
a soldier of the Mexican war. The
proposition was to date the pension
back three years, and this was resist
ed as being contrary to precedent,
and tho bill was finally amended to
take effect from time of passuge, aud

Railroad to establish a sinking fund,
he having given notice yesterday
that he would call a vote to-day.
After two hours discussion, ou a divi
sion, there were sixty-five in favor of
taking up the bill and sixty-two
against it.
Mr. Randall called the yeas and
nays, and said the question might as
well be settled now, for it was an ef
fort to kill the bill by postponing it,
and he wanted to see who were in
favor of It.
On the question of taking up Mr.
Lawrence’s bill tne yeas were 96 and
the nays 88, so the motion was agreed
to.
Mr. Lawrence then addressed the
House, and said if this bill passed
it would save $150,000,000 to the Gov
ernment, and if it did not pass that
amount would be lost to the coun
try.
Mr. Hunter, of Virginia, addressed
the Houso in favor of the bill. The
question was then taken on the pas
sage of the bill. The yeas and nays
were called and it was passed by
—yeas 159 and nays 9.

Randall, of Pennsylvania, Holman
of Indiana, and Hale, of Maine, Com

Maj. Reno, commanding seven
other companies, attacked the lower
part of the Indian camp. The In

The Indians actually pulled men off
their horses.
The above report is confirmed by
other sources. The Indians number
2,500 to 4,000. When tho Indians
