here which has in view the organization Of a
sufficient numb Der of Southerners to form
colony to settle on rich lands Of Ecuador,
South America. 1t is sort OF. mutual COM
pany, those to pay the cost of EN- grafton who
can, and those who cannot to be assisted by
the other Immigrants who have the means to
spare. 1t is understood that donations of
land are to be obtained from the government
of that country by parties desiring to settle
permanently there, besides other encourage
ments which wiz enable the new corners to
maze start. The company, understand,
are about to charter vessels for Tampico,
whence they are to cross 10 Acapulco, on the
Pacific side, there take,the Pacific steamers
to their destination. The cost of emigration
is estimated at about $50, for a man and his
wife, with one or two children. I under
stand that the company now number sufh.

three vessels, and that negotiations will be

For the Spectator.

EOf CHe y poCtdtOf
MEssRs EDIToRs-Be pleased to permit me to
say to my fellow citizens of Augusta feel it due
to them to return my thanks for the interest they
have taken in my behalf in the recent election;
though defeated there is no man resigned more
composedly to the voice of this great county than
myself l feel satisfied that the Office has been
conferred upon gentleman in every way suited
to fill it, and it is glory enough for me to know
that our once happy land is again the land of
peace-that civil law will soon be. established,
where but few short months ago military des-
potism, with all it's abominable results crush
ing the very vitals out of people protesting to be
free. Should not the experience of the past be
our guide in the future The power is in the
people, and who would dare say that this great
people are not capable of self-government !? Then
let us commence the work anew-bury the past in
the shroud of oblivion, and aim at one great COM
mon cause, and let that cause be the promotion of
our grand republican government.
But few short years ago anything to the re-
verse of UNION would have almost been treason.
II was said that it was the very essence of opr
happy country, and we believed it. But alas in
the far distant horiz on, at almost every point of
the compass could be hosting up destruction,
blood and death. Designing men, for sinister
motives, saw fit to mar the whole beauty Of this
construction.
The American Eagle dropped the olive branch
Of peace and grasped the arrows of war. The
mountains that once shaded our peaceful homes
the dark mountains..of death, and our beauti
full streams, like the waters of Egypt were turned
into blood Although the world never saw bra
yer band of soldiers than the Valley Of Virginia
produced in this great catastrophe, and while
their name and their fame will live during all
time, where is the soldier that has not, in the last
four years turned his wondering eyes in sadness
to his far off home, and prayed to the God of
peace in behalf of himself, his family and his fell
low soldiers. The future was all dark ness and
gloom. But the dark and boundless valley which
but yesterday reechoed the deafening roar of the
deadly cannon, and the piercing groan Of the dy-
ing warrior has disapp cared, and may we not
hope that cultivated fields, thriving villages and
populous cities resounding with the busy hum of
industry, the classic melody of liter ature and the
richer notes of Christian worship will soon supply
its place
Then let us, like Cncinnatus, return to our
pows, trusting that the ship of State is in the
hands of crew that will conduct h er into the ha
ven of ETERNAA UNION. For I,
Heaven in wisdom ordained it thus,
And man, submissive, must pronounce it just
Respectfully, E. L.. HOUR.

RESULTS OF A JoKE.-On Monday morning last
gentleman who had purchased at Cooks auc-
ton house q wardrobe for IS, was afterwards
told by an acquaintance that he had paid too much
for it, whereupon out Of Joke, he took from his
pocket four dollars, and then opening drawer
in his wardrobe and thrusting his hand in, quick
ly withdrew it, holding the money which he had
taken from his pocket in his hand This moeny.
he Informed his Acquaintance he found in the draw
en- which would therefore make the cost OF the
article only four dollars Soon afterwards he left,
and thought no more Of the matter till yesterday
morning, when he was waited upon by a clerk of
Mr.. Cook, who informed him that the lad. to
whom the wardrobe originally belonged had lost
$1,000. and thought it probable she had left
it in there and that the money he had found was
portion that she had lost. Of course the gen
tlenlan who played the joke lost no time in ex-
planning it.
