A JocrIAR CHR1sr1Ax.--A poor man lived
near Deacon Murray, referred to in the tract,
" Worth Dollar,' and occasionally called at
his house for a supply Of milk. One morning
he came when the family were at breakfast
Mrs. Murray rose to wait upon him, but the
deacon said to her, g. wait tin after break
made some inquiries of the man about his
family and circumstances. After family wor-
ship the deacon invited him to 60 out to the
bafn with him. When they got into the yard,
the deacon, pointing to one of the cows, ex-
claimed, % There, take that cow and drive her
home" The man thanked him heartily for
the cow, and started for home, but the deacon
was observed to stand in the attitude Of deep
thought until the man had gone some rods. -
He then looked up and called ont, "Hey,
and the deacon added, ." Let that cow come
back, and you come back, too" He did so,
and when he came back into the yard again
the deacon said, There, now take your pick
out of the cows amt going to lend to the
Lord the poorest cow I've got -

Government sale of the class yet entered upon,

WHENCE COMES ALL THIS CorroS !-The most
hopeful sign Of returning prosperity which has
yet come under our notice is the fact, hereto
fore noticed, that the Lynchburg commission
merchants have scarcely been able to forward
all the cotton-that great rival of gold-which
has BEEN consigned 10 their care. We copy a
second article from the Republican on the same
subject, confident that it will be pleasant read
ing to all who think seriously rs to whence the
South is to draw even money enough to pay
her taxes:
I" This important product of the South has
been coming in by the Virginia and Tennessee
railroad in such quantities that it has blocked
up all the lines Of transportation heretofore
open to it. The Orange and Alexandria rail-
road has been its main dependence, and such
has been the demand upon this road that it
was found impossible to carry the cotton for
ward as rapidly as it came in. Shippers will
be pleased to learn that arrangements have
been made by which the SOuthside railroad
can accommodate their shipments of cotton,
thus opening another avenue to the Northern
market. BY this route cotton is taken from
Lynchburg to City Point, and there shipped
on board Of vessels for Northern ports. Two
boats, the Ella Scott and the POcahOntas, went
down TO Robinson's mills yesterday with loads
of cotton for the Southside road. The bridges
below the city are being rapidly pushed for
ward, and we are glad to learn that it will not
be long before this important line will be free
from obstruction between Lynchburg and Pc
tersburg, and prepared to accommodate any
amount Of freight or travel"

There another heavy day yesterday at the Super

volunteers having been paid the bounty and goodly
number received as substitutes.

Ned that the Governors surmisos correct II Is
tain that at the present writing no orders have been
ceised in this city from Washington TO postpone the draft
but such may during the night Draft or no draft

manded from much as possible.
Mr. Blunt has furnished every facility for receiving any
number Of per day. matter how great II may be-
and all the public have to do Is TO crowd them In The
