WHAT Gov. BRowN OF GEORGIA
SAYs.-It is important to hear all sides
from the South at this juncture, so we
give h e statement Of a "prominent
gentleman" vouched for by the Albany
Journal, who visited Gov. Brown of
Georgia at the Capitol Prison few days
before his release. Says the Journal:
"As our friend took him by the hand,
the ruined Governor burst into tears
ln reply to question as to the condition
of the State Of Georgia and the temper
of its people, he said "We are utterly
broken down and crushed. We are COM
pletely at the mercy of our conquerors.-
Our punishment is terrible our suffer
ings are almost greater than we can bear.
Nearly all the young men the educated
young men--the sons Of the wealthy cit
izens--have fallen in battle or died of
disease incident to the camp. Most of
the middle-aged men have met with
similar fate.
Three fourths of all the old men have
either died broken hearted, or been driv-
en- from their homes. The few that re-
main are virtually reduced to beggary.-
The powor of the wealthy classes is des.
troyed. Men who, a few years ago, were
millionaires, are now forced to accept
charity at the hands of our military COM
manders. The poor white masses are
reduced to starvation ; the blacks are
suffering all the worst consequences of
The violent sundering of the old social
relations. In S b rt, concluded Gov.
Brown, society is in condition of anar-
chy. Could the people CT the North
know how utter is our ruin, they would
pity US in spite of their adherence of
what they consider our Treason against

received some private injury in being
kept out of his pay, it appeared clear
that he had been prompted to the deed
by the desire TO deliver his country from
man who dishonored and led it astray.
He saw his error, and died regrettirg it.
The king wished TO have him put to the
torture, to compel him to name his ac-
completes but the time was passed for
that in England, and the judge who tried
him would not permit il. H
The sudden death of the most powerful
man in England, the kings main stay in
his war on Liberty, had no important
consequences of any kind except, per-
haps, to confirm the king in his hatred Of
the Puritans, and in his determination
TO govern without the aid of parliament.
Charles |. was an incurable fool. Per-
sistng 10 his fatal policy, he paid the just
penalty of his crimes on the scaffold.-
The son of the slain favorite inherited
his title, his enormous wealth and his
faults. Under Charles III. he ran ca,
reer of dishonor similar TO that of his
father, and died in obscurity, the object
of nations just contempt. So fruitless
OF all good consequences is the assassin's
stroke, even when it rids the country of
a man who seems the direct and sole
cause of its unhappiness.

A TOUCHING INCIDENT AT HAIR
vARD.-A correspondent of the Spring
field Republican, describing the incident
of the recent Glass Day at Harvard Col
lege, records the following touching Incl
dent:
From these scenes of mirth loving
pleasure to the short and simple annal'
of the poor is but step, and sad step
! too; for on the morning of class day tht
sophmore class buried one OF their owr
number, who literally died from want o.
necessities o. life, and that, too, right
here at Harvard college. Only yeal
ago, fresh from farm seventeen mile:
from Buffalo, N. Y, raw green lad O
twenty two applied for admission to the
sophmore class. His awkward manner
and uncouth bearing won for him the
name of "Greeny." Only last week was
he missed from recitation, and way up in
little ten by twenty attic room of a
rickety old boarding house somebody said
he was dying of typhoid fever. Ex.
President Peabody, the good Samaritan
of Harvard, heard of his distress, and
repairing to bis room found the poor boy
really in the arms of death. For year
had bis only food been bread and water,
and sometimes a little milk, and often one
meal day sufficed. His room was small
and poorly ventilated, and by the feeble
light of an old oil lamp had the poor fell
low worked Is out of "a hours almost
each day. These facts quickly coming
out, everything that could be done was
done. The struggle was all over; his
last hours were made as comfortable as
sympathizing and conscience stricken
neighborhood could make them. His
broken hearted mother came to carry her
sons body home and she must have been
overjoyed to learn what would have only
a little before given him so much happi-
ness to have known, that he was the first
scholar in his class, and to receive the
first scholarship, which yields a cozy lit
lie income of $500 yer year. But it was
too late his pride would never allow him
to complain his ambition continually
spurred him on. The Fates are amiable
sisters, the triple furies always agree but
pride, ambition and poverty are most
quarrelsome companions. We recollect
him passing every day; he never looked
up; we all can recall his hurried walk,
his sad countenance, his pale lamp always
feebly twinkling at midnight, his running
round the corner with loaf Of bread un-
der his arm, bis going out in the severest
storms without umbrella or overcoat.-
But it is all over now,"

REMARKABLE CASE OF SUSPENDED
ANIMATIoN.-The h e Newcastle (Eng)
Chronicle records an extraordinary case
OF suspended animation in that place.
One night a boy named Batey, about
twelve years of age, went to bed after
partaking rather heartily of some rhubarb
tart. Next morning about six o'clock
he awoke in great pain, and his father
used some simple remedies TO remove
the pain, but his efforts were of no avail,
and shortly afterward the boy apparently
died. Preparations were made for the
funeral, and the father went to the regis
ter office to obtain a certificate for the
burial, but this the Registrar refused to
give, as no medical gentleman had seen
the lad while he was i'll, and there was
nothing to show what had been the cause
OF death. The father was recommended
to go to the Coroner and see il an in
quest should be held. The Coroner or
dered post-mortem examination, and
the second day after the boy had died"
two surgeons went to the house for the
purpose of dissecting the deceased
The father, who accompanied them, was
astonished on approaching his residence,
by beholding his son, whom he thought
dead, standing in the doorway, as if moth
ing had happened. There was nothing
ghastly abont him. He did not appear
like one who had visited the other world,
nor like one risen from the dead; but
he stood with the utmost unconcern, and
with every sign of health and life about
him. He knew nothing about his narrow
escape from being buried alive. All he
knew was that he had been asleep, and
on awakening, as he found no one in the
house-his father was looking for the
doctors, and bis mother was out, probably
making the arrangements for the. funeral
he got up, and feeling very hungry,
looked about for something to eat.---
Finding some eggs, he cooked them, after
which he went out, in happy ignorance
of his narrow escape from the grave and

PICTURE OF THE RED SEA.-Ho-
garth was once applied to by certain
nobleman, to paint, on bis staircase, rep
resentation of the destruction of Pharaoh
host in the Red Sea. In attempting to
fix upon the price, Hogarth became dis
gusted with the miserly conduct of his
patron, who was unwilling to give more
than half the real value Of the picture
At last, out Of all patience, he agreed to
his terms. In two or three days the pic
ture was ready. The nobleman, sur
prised at such expedition, Immediately
called to examine it, and found the space
painted all over red.
"Zounds y said the purchaser, "what
have you here ordered scene Of the
Red Sea-"
"The Red Sea you have" said the
painter.
"But where are the Israelites ?"
"They have all gone over"
Sand where are the Egyptians !"
"They are all drowned"
The niser's confusion could only be
equaled by the haste with which be paid
bis bill. The bitter was bitten.

JEFF. THoMPsoN's ADVICE TO HIS
ARMY.-On the occasion OF the surrender
of his forces to the United States, Gen.
jeff Thompson issued a pithy farewell
address to his troops, in which be said
10 them, "the fact is evident that as an in
dependent nation we are badly whipped,
and then proceeds TO give some excellent
counsel. We quote:
"Let each man determine when he
leaves this place that he will 60 to his
home, there to remain, and work night
and day to repair the damage that has
been done by the war; and never go off
MS farm except to 90 to mill and if there
are private quarrels between himself and
ueighbors he had better pack up aud hunt
another neighborhood and if not willing
TO submit to the laws of the United States
he had better leave the country.
You must remember now that you
have no rights, and can only claim such
as may be given to you by the conquerors,
and the less you say about politics, until
YOU have become naturalzed, the better
for you. The Yankees have won the ne
gro, and we must Jet them dispose of him
as they please When your opinion or
advice is asked, you can quietly give it
bat do not volunteer either. We have
fought four long and bloody years for our
rights and have lost, and now we cannot
get by simply talking what we have fall
ed to win with our arms and the matter
was talked over forty years before the
fighting began.
All who cannot or will not be submis-
sive. should leave the United States as
soon as possible, and l presume that many
young men will 60. am sure there
will be no hinderance, for the Govern
ment should be glad to get rid of all who
are not disposed to be peaceable.
To the Missourians who are present
would speak plainly and advise them not
to think of returning to Missouri unless
they have a clean record. There are
many who have been fair, honest and
chivalrous soldiers, who can have no
charges against them, except the one of
being true to the South there are many
others who have forgotten the laws OF
God, the laws of man and the laws of
war, and they, of course, cannot expect
10 live in Missouri in peace. Then there
are others who, though they have been
honest soldiers, had determined in their
hearts to have private revenge at the end
of the war, had we succeeded and some
who have said that the Union men must
leave if they won. Each of you know to
which of these classes you belong, and
you must do as you would be done by,'
and act accordingly"

The Open Door.

Within town Of Holland once
A widow dwelt, tits said,
So poor, alas her children asked
One night, in vain, for bread
But this poor woman loved the Lord
And knew that He was good
So, with her little ones around,
She prayed to Him for food.
When prayer was done, her eldest child,
A boy Of eight years old.
Said softly, "In the holy book,
Dear mother, we are told
How God, with food by ravens brought.
Supplied His prophets need"
'Yes," answered she "but that, my son.
Was long ago indeed"
''But, mother, God may do again
What he has done before
And so, to let the birds fly in,
will unclose the door,"
Then little Dirk, in simple faith
Threw open the door full wide,
so that the radiance of their lamp
Fell on the path outside.
Ere long the burgomaster passed,
And, noticing the light,
Paused to inquire why the door
Was open so at night,
"My little Dirk has done it, sir"
The widow, smiling said,
"1hat ravens might fly in to bring
My hungry children bread"
"Indeed" the buTgomaster cried,
"Then here's a raven, lad
Come to my home and you shall sec
Where bread may. soon be had"
Along the street to his own house
He quickly led the boy,
And sent him back with food that filed
His humble home with joy.
The supper ended, little Dirk
Went to the open door,
Looked up, said, "Many thanks, good Lord
Then shut it fast once more.
For, though no bird had entered in,
He knew that God on high
Had hardened TO his mothers prayer
And sent this full supply.
