Horace GreeleE'S Ride to PIacerEille.

When Horace Greeley was in California,
ovation awaited him at every town. He had
written powerful leaders in the Tribune in
favor of the Pacific railroad, which had greatly
endeared him to the citizens of the Golden
State, and therefore they made much of him
when he went to see them.
At one town the enthusiastic populace tore
his celebrated white coat to pieces, and car,
Tied the pieces home to remember him by.
The citizens of Placerville prepared to fete
the great journalist, and an extra coach, with
extra relays of horses was chartered of the
California Stage Company, to carry him from
Folsom to observation-disclosures forty miles.
The extra was in some way delayed, and did
not leave Folsom until in the afternoon. Mr.
Greely was to be feted at seven o'clock that
evening by the citizens of Placervile, and il
vas altogether necessary that he should be
there by that hour. So the stage company
said to Henry Monk, the driver Of the extra
Henry, this great man must be there By sew
en- tonight" And Henry answered, 1.-The
great man shall be there"
The roads were in an awful state, and du
ring the first few miles out of Folsom, SLOW
progress was made.
Sir" said Mr.. Greedy, "are you aware tha
must be at PlacerYiIle at seven o'clock to
night?"
E'T've got my ORDERS" laconical1y replied
Henry Monk.

WASHINGTON, February 10, 1S66.-A com.
mittee from the L, gislature of Virginia had
an interview with the President to-day, and
presented the resolutions of that body en-.
dorsing the policy of the President. The
President replied, thanking them for their
visit, and expressing his qualification at their
sentiments.
He declared his determination to follow the
principle he had pursued throughout the war
that the Union could not be dissolved. He
responded cordially to the sentiments of the
resolution, and trusted that the time would
soon come when they could meet under more
favorable auspices than at present. He stated
that he would not be forced to the position
that any State IS now out of the Union.
The interview is regarded as very impor'
tant one At the conclusion of the Presi'
dents remarks the members Of the Commit
tee were personally introduced, and expressed
their pleasure at the Presidents address.

Corn n1antinp commences this month, in

Corn planting commences this month, in
the climate of lower Georgia, and when early
planted, makes almost invariably the best
crop. Do not let the mania for cotton grow
ing prevent your putting in q beautiful crop
of corn. A half crop of cotton will bring in
more money than a full one, and to raise
full crop of cotton this year, would compel
the purchase of oil our food another year
The facilities and rates of transportation will
not begin to justify this. Plant, then, plenty
Of corn, and plant early and on deeply pre-
pared ground, so as 10 prevent, by the early
maturing Of the crop, and by full supply ot
moisture in the soil during its periods Of
growth, the casualties to which it Is subject

Life Leaves.

The following poem is touchingly beautiful.
Many an eve will be dimmed by tear as it reads
these liues, ard the thoughts go wandering away
to 'tmemory's wild wood"
The day, with its sandals dipped in dew,
Has passed through the evenings golden gates,
And single star in the cloudleSs blue
For the rising moon in silence waits;
While the winds that sigh to the .unguid hours
A lullaby breath DER the folded flowers.
The lilies nod to the sound of the stream
u That Winds along with lulhng How,
And either awake, or halt dream,
II pass through the realms OF Long Ago;
While faces peer with many smile
From the bowers of NemOry'S magical isle.
There are JOYS and sunshine, SORROWS, and tears
That check the path of lies April hours,
Aud longing wish for the coming years,
. That hope ever wreathS with the iareSt flowers;
There are friendships guilelesS--.,ve as bright
Aud pure as the stars in halls of night.
There are ashcn memories, bitter pain,
And buried hopes and broken vow,
And an aching heart by the reckless main,
s%- And the sea-breeze tanning pallid brow;
And wanderer on the shell-lined shore,
Listening for voices that speak no more.
There are passions strong and ambitions"wild,
And the fierce desire to stand in the van
Of the battle of life--and the heart Of the child
Is crushed in the breast Of the struggling man.
But short are the regrets and few are The tears,
That fell at the tomb of the banshed years.
There is a quiet and peace and domestic love,
And joys arising rom faith aud trnth,
And truth unquestioning far above
< The passionate dreamings of ardent youth;
And kisses Of children on lips and cheek,
And the pareDts bliss which no tongue can speak.
There are loved ones lost There are little graves
- In the distant dell, meath protecting trees,
Where the Streamlet winds, and the violet waves,
s And the grasses sway to the sighing breeze;
And we mourn for pressure OF tender lips,
And the. light of eyes darkened in deaths eclipse
And thus, as the glow of the daylight dies,
11 And the nights first look to the earth is cast
] gaze meath those beautiful summer skies,
At the pictures that hangin the hall ofthe past
