The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey, and surface gently undulating, intersecting with small strcnc sand occasional wet meadows, in which deposits of peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland sur face., after it has been exhausted of its nat. ural fertility. It ts certainly one of the most exten sive fertile tracts , in an almost levelpo* sition and suitable condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first clear ed of forest fifty or one hundred years ago. The Geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of the calcare ous substances, generally in the form of in durated, calcareous marl, showing how many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertiary formation ; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very com minuted form, and in the exact condition most casiig assimmilated by scuh plants as the farmer derives to cultivate. CALHOUN, GA., SATURDAY, AUGUST 26. 1876. GEN. T. M. B. YOUNG. HE SEEKS HARMONY IX THE SEVENTH. To Ihc Democrats oi the Seventh Congressional District. My name ba3 been mentioned in con nection with the nomination for the Sev enth Congressional District for the For ty-lifih Congress, aud I write this letter lo say that I believe that the interest aud harmony ut the Democratic party can better be subserved by my not be coming a candidate. 1 1 has always been my theory that no good citizen should desire to hold an office unless a majority of liis fellow*citizens concur w.th hiui in that desire, i believe that a major ity of the Democrats of this District entertain a sympathy (and a very just one) in favor of Col. Win. H. Dabney* for the approaching nomination. I heartily concur in that sympathy, and I respectfully ask my friends to join with me in his support. It is useless for me to admonish my friends that the strug g!e which is soeii to take place between the two great parties of this country is to be one of the closest, and one of the most bitter that has ever occurred in our history, and one which is fraught with the most vital interests of the peo. pie of not only our section but of all the people of this union. My friends, you are upon your trial, you stand at the bar of public opinion, by the side of that party whose great leaders have repeat edly accused you in the halls of the na tional capital, of everything that is false, cruel, barbarous and infamous. The great mass of the people are called up on to judge between you, and their ver dict will bo rendered at the polls in No vember next. The eighty thousand office holdcisof the administrations are united to a man, and they head the col umn. The question is, IIOW SHALL WE MEET THEM ? Shall we, in this hour of travail, per mit personal preferences or petty griev ances to divide us; shall we permit any trivial cause to bring confusion in our ranks and stagger our column in this hour whose every is vital to our happi ness? In God’s name, no! The Re publican party is strong, organized and compact, it permits no stragglers. Then so much the more reason why we should perfect the organization of our party, even in its most minute parts, it mat ters little who are our standard-bearers, let us keep our eyes upon the colors, and follow them. We have been singularly fortunate in our recent nominations. — The national standard has been placed in the hands of Samuel J. r i ildon and Thomas A. Hendricks, two men well known to the people of all the States ; whose uauic3 are synonyms with hones ty, reform, and economical government. You have selected for your chiet exec utive of the State, Alfred 11. Colquitt a man whose public acts, and whose private virtues have distinguished him above his follow-citizens; a man who possesses all the qualities ol soldier, statesman and chvistian'jgentlcman. DABNEY FOR CONGRESS. It is needless for mo to say ought of Win. 11. Dabney, whose name, I believe is the only onejet presented for nomi nation to represent the Seventh Con gressional District in the next Congress. I have known him since 1 have been old enough to know any man aud I fail to find anything in his character tliat does not challenge the admiration of his countrymen, and render him worthy of the highest honor they can bestew upon him. Then you will reasonably ask, with such a declaration of principles as wo have, and with such candidates, how can wc fall? I answer that I believe we can only fail, through want of organi zation, want of concert of action, want of energy. Let us organize, not only in the State and Congressional —-b exau\ty,.4ind in each nq'Utia and follow them through to -•et us, for once, present a firm, solid. done, tho march will be tedious, Ilia battle will be warm, but the victory will bo sure and complete. PERSONAL TIIOUGIITS. And now whut can I say to you, gen., tlen, my friends, who have honored mo so long ? who have stood by me through good report, and through bad ; you who have refused to believe one W T ord of all the slanderous attacks upon me ? No language can express the sentiments of jny hert, full as it is of affectionate gratitude' for you. I can only say that after a full understanding you will find that, no act of mine has been unworthy of the ronfidencc and esteem you have pftaced upon me. I have been ever mindful of the responsibility I held for so long at your hands, and I can truth fully say that the position which I held was never used but in the promulgation of those great principles, and the adz. vancement of that, party, upon whose success I believe depends the peaco, happiness and prosperity of my whole country, llespectfuily, F. M. B. Young. If rs Sleeplessness.— “l’m. habbin’ hcep o’ trouble wid sleeplessness dese nights/' remarked an old darkey at the suburban end of State street the other day. “Ho, ho, I reckens I knows all ’bout dat/ J said another African standing by. “Yo* knows noffin’; dats what you knows.' “Sartia I knows sulkin'/, chuckled j the other; “I knows well ’uuff dut vY Truth Coiiqners All Things.** cant sleep o’ night, an’ ’sides I knows yo’r neighbo’s can’s uuther ef deys got chickens ?” The old darkey looked grieved at the words as he turned away he expressed his opinion of them by mumbling : “If days anything dat I hates it’s to see two culled gemmeu alius fussiu’ wid each other—’specially wen dey’s bofe ub de same pofession.” Max idelor For iTesident. I pretty much made up nry mind now to run for the presidency. What the country wants is a candidate who caunut be injured by investigation of nis history, so that the enemies of the party will be unable to rake up against him tilings that nobody ever heard of before. If you know most about a candidate, to begin with, every attempt to spring things on him will be checkmated.. Now I am going to en ter the field with an open record. 1 am going to own up in ad\%nce to all the wickedness I have done and if any congressional committee is uispos od to prowl around my biography in the hope of finding any dark and dreadly deed which 1 have secreted, why, let it prowl. In the first place, I admit that I did tree u rheumatic grandfather of mine in the winter of 1859. He was old and inexpert at climbing trees. Rut with a heaaless brutality that is characteristic of me, I ran him out the front door in his night shirt, at the point of a shot guti, and caused him to bowl up a ma ple tree, where he remained all night, while I emptied bird shot into his long legs. I did this -because he snored 1 will do it again if I ever iiave another grand father. I am as bad now as I was then in '59. No rheumatic per son shall snore in my house. I candidly acknowledge that I ran away at the battle of Gettysburg. My friends liave tried to smooth over this fact by assorting that l merely got be hind a tree ; that I did so for the pur pose of imitating Washington,who went into the woods at Valley Forge to say his prayers. It is a miserable subter fuge. I struck out in a straight line for the Tropic of Cancer simply because I was scared. I wanted my country saved, but 1 preferred to have somebody else to save her; I entertain that pre ference yet. If the bubble, reputation, can be obtained only at the cannon’s mouth I am willing to go there for it provided lire cannon is empty. If it is loaded, my immortal and inflexible pur pose is to get suddenly over the fence and go home, ,My invariable practice in war has been to bring out of any given flcht two thirds more men than I took in.— This f-eeci3 to me to be Napoleonic in its grandeur.. The 'ast time I lan for the president cy there was some unpleasant talk about my application in a transaction with the widow Rullock’s ducks. The mat a ter was hushed up ; but I have no ob' jections to admitting the truth respect* ing it. I have always had a favorite theory that roast ducks were conducive to hysterical symptoms, and as every instinct of my nature prompted me to protect the widow from the ravages of hysteria, I entered the coop in her gar den and regretfully but firmly removed those ducks. The fact that she began a prosecution against me is not a mut ter of consequence. It is the fate of philanthropist to be misunderstood. — Rut duty is my guiding star and if it leads me to ducks or distraction Til follow it. My financial views are oi the most decided character, but they are not like ly, perhaps, to increase my popularity with the advocates of inflation aud con traction. Ido not insist upon the spe cial supremacy of rag money. The great fundamental principle of my c wu life is to take any kind that I can gei. i ‘‘omit, also, tl ■ t J amnot a friend to the poor aian.

Is i£ Sso ? “ A man of sense will never swear,” so says a writer. Rut this statement we doubt. We will admit that a man of sense ought not to swear, lie ought not oft the ground of morality. He violates a moral law, aud thereby in ■ curs a penalty Rut we see and know the country. Men of sense do swear. We have an example of brilliant intel lect whose name adorns the annuls of this country.- A statesman of extraor dinary sense; a man of t ultuic, of pro found thought, of intelloctval weight.— A man who had a great deal of brain power. A statesman of whom Virginia boasts, and proudly so. Of course we mean John Randolph of Roanoke, as lie was somewhat addicted to swearing, and acquired quite a reputation in that way. He was once traveling through a part of Virginia with which he was unac quainted, ond 'n the meantime stopped during the night at an inn near the forks oi" the road. The inn-keeper was a genial, good hearted old gentleman, and perhaps one of the first families ol the Old Dominion. lie knew who his distinguished guest was and every men tal endeavor to entertain him during the evening, but made a signal failure.— On the morrow, when Mr. Randolph was preparing to leave, he called for his bill, which being presented, was paid* The old gentleman sf IJI anxious to have sou e conversation w ith the great statesman interrogated thus: “ Which way are you traveling, Mr. Randolph ?” “Sir? 1 ' said Mr. Randolph, with a look, of displeasure. “ I asked,” tai'l the landlord, “ which way arc you traveling?” “Havel paid you my bill ?” said Mr. Par, A U f “t ■ . v. j -a anything more?” U Y Pfd ’ “Vv oil, ; . going just where I please : do you undeiYlaud ?" ‘* Yes.” The landlord by this time got some* what excited aod Mr* Randolph drove off. Rut to the landlord s surprise, in a few minuses sent one of the servants to inquire which of the forks of the ,2ad to take. Mr. Randolph not being out of hear ing distance, the landlord spoke at the top of his breath, “Mr. Randolph, you don’t owe me one cent; just take which road you please.” It is said that he air turned blue with the curses of Ran dolph. Women who Never Wash. A Spizza correspondent of the Lon don Standard writes : Those of your readers who have traveled in Spain, have certainly remarked the dirty stripes * “**' *•“ ~ v * > - \y-\svcjvvv. „ to bathe without the permission of her confessor. This aversion to cleanliness I. • come forward from the time of the anchorites Sabinus Fachominus, Best-- ri m, and ' ther saints of the desert, and r. bed whole sects of that epoch con* denined all ablutions 3 heathenish and were lauded because they wore their clothes so long that they rotted to pieces and feu oil them, or because their skins became as “ crust oi uirt on it. The superstition that cleansing the body soils the soil exists this day among the women of those Christian nations who have carried conflicts with the Mohamme dans, on whom the Ivoran enjoins fre-- quont ablutions. A female Bulgarians is permitted to wash only once in her life—on the day before her wedding; and in most South Slavonian families the girls are rarely allowed to bathe, the women never. I recall with a shudder the interior of the Montenegrin huts. \v hen a woman offered me wine she always dipped her finger3 into it, the same fingers which dad just been engaged in the chase on her children’s heads, or which had been gently scratching the p%, the pet of the family, which is always addressed by eudaring names. The "ad ults squat v. r lie down, the children tumble about bin the liquid manure which covers the floor of the hut, and many women are otear'-eyei in consequence of the creo sloe caused by the smoke, which can nby escape through the door.

As* Untimely June The other night Mary J.u > Jones' beau came up to see .her, and invited Mary Jane out to have ice cream and soda water which has a very exhilarat ing effect ou some people, and ’ p.ov-'d to be the case with this young man.— Just as ho got the ice ereatn he began to think how nice i l would be to have Mary Jane always* with him, and then he began to calculate how far ten dvff lurs a week would go tow id supporting a family, and lie concluded with econ omy and management ou Mary Jane’s part and some solf-denial on his, such as not playing billiards but once a week, and limbing himself to, say too cigars at a time, they might live very nicely Provisions did not cost much, and Mary Jane’s c offies oeuid net bo very ex pc:; sive say twenty dollars a year, or so. and—well he calculated it ad as he walked home witJPnSr and liq resolved tii.it .ight ;.i kolrv ' 31 ary Jam noticed that he was very abstracted and guessed the reason, and felt glad within herself that she had put on her white dress and new bustle, feeling quite sure that these had dune the business, for what young man can resist a white dress let alone a beautiful new bustle. When t hey got to the front gate they saw that the front steps were fully occupied by the residue of the Jones family, so that ihey sat down on a horse block under the spreading maples, and there he es sayed to tell the story of’ his love.— Just as he got to where lie was going to say in conclusion ; ‘* This * would be a dreary waste to me without* you, Mary Jane, will yougirair} me tuy humble c 1.” : big !'tfe"'junc' ped down ? bucjs of Mary pane’s dress. Sbe up and gave a Mo dockian whoop Really clutched at the back of shouted : “ Catch him, o o-o wouen ; bo’s killing me," and the way she tore around and danced up and down scared the poor young man nearly to death, and brought out the Joues family, lie ded by the old gentleman who made straight for the supposed “ him " and kicked him off the sidewalk, ruining his new sum- mer clothes and causing him to go light round the first corner home. Then the neighbors helped to catch Mary Jane and someone made a raid down her back and brought forth the bug, and she wept sorely and trod it ruthlessly under foot, reme-iberiug what might have been if the bug hadn’t been.— Then she explained it ail very clearly to those neighbors, but they sniffed their noses in the air ar and remarked to each other privately to tlio effect; of its being a very likely s.ory indeed that a June bug should stir up such a fracas and get a young map kicked off the walk, they guessed if the truth was known, etc. All this week Mary Jane has gone round with disheveled locks, and has attained a chronic squint from much watching through closed blinds of a form that don’t come; and her young man stays within the fastness of the store and wonders, with pain that never dies what ailed Mary fane, and if they always act that way, and the evon° ings and mornings go right on and don’t answer. - Ttse Valise of a Trade. .7ho olu story of the uncertainty oi' riches and the importance cf learning a trade i brought to mind by tho fob lowing, which appeared in a recent number of the New York Ledger: Karl Frostern, the old nail maker of Luben, in Silesia, was a jolly story tell ing man, who sang at his work and whose busy hammer made merry music. Not far away lived Herr von Kobcn, a wealthy land owner, whose only son when not at school, was wont to come to the nailer’s, where he would sit by the hour and watch the bright sparks as they flew in showers-from the ring" ing anvil. “Come, Master Conrad," said the nailer, one day in a jolly mood ; “ why not set the world an example ? Show them that the son of a rich man can learn a trade. Who knows but that it une y'ouiu ien iu Svlhr amd 'nafll? r oi the thing, and pulling off his fine jack et, he donned a leathern apron, and went to the anvil. He was a bright, quick lad, and when he had once at tempted to make a nail, he bad a pride to make it well ; and so it came to pass that ere long he could make slv.r: nails as deftly and a3 well as could old Karl. Time passed on, and Herr von tve ben died a loving his great wealth to his son Conrad. A few years thereaf ter the armies of Frederick came sweep ing through Selesia, and Conrad’s in heritance was lost. In poverty he wan dered away toward the mountains of Bohemia, until he came to a town where a host of shoemakers were at a stand for wsftc of uails. Shoos were in great demand for Che soldiers and a great price was offered for nails.— Here," thought Conrad, “is my op port-unit v. Let us see how my trade will serve me r ’ And he told the shoemakers that if they would help him to a shop ao i a forge, he would m*ke nails fur them.— They furnished him what was required, and he went at the work in earnest lie made better nails than bad ever be fore been seen in that section. He took apprentices and enlarged his shop, rod in tima Yon Kol n’s nails were do maiid ; on both sides of the mountains. By a. but sure degrees be arose to opmrt.ee and a manufacturer, ho noted and respected 03 the founder of his own fortune.
