The Best Joke of the Season.

We have set of clever, funloving
young men in our town, says the Sanders
vile Georgian, who never allow an op-
portunity of satiating their thirst for fun
and frolio to pass unimproved. One
night last week the boys made sad
mistake in subject for fun. One OF the
number disguised himself and Knocked
at the door of one of our most successful
physicians, called the doctor up, and in
formed him that he was Dutchman,
Just from Macon, Georgia, and that his
wife was at the Ssndersville Hotel, and
said he, Doctor, mine wife is nifty sick,
her pc almost die, too make haste, Doc
tor, mine Got, come quick. The doc
tor smelled mice, but put on his
clothes, took Q repeater in his hand,
walked ont and told Dutchy to take the
front rank, and lead the way. Dutchy
did so at brisk trot, which soon
brought them to the hotel The
light revealed to the doctor the
important fact that "Dutchy Rozin-
bachker" was a young gent of our
town. The doctor returned home the
next morning he presented his bill to
Dutohey for fifty dollars for important
services rendered on the night previous"
The young man pleaded everything he
could think of by way of extenuatiou,
but, alas, the doctor was memorable, aud
said, "sir, fifty dollars will settle the
matter, and nothing shorter" The claim
being liauidated, the doctor informed
him that his professional services were
oomeatible in the future at the same fig
ures. We should say that young Dutehy
is fairly out Dutehed.

ment to its sole legitimate province-the
one work Of protecting person and prop
erty. Events Of the last few yea havers
afforded new argument for such con-
finement. Among these events is the
opposition of our State authorities to
letting the great West have another high
way across a part of our State for the
transportation Of her produce. The prin-
cipal plea of the opposition is that such
highway will diminish the income of the
Erie Canal. Thus does the State owner
ship of canals tempt the State TO insnlt
and wrong sister States, and weaken the
bonds Of the Union. 1t also tempts her to
wrong herself; for if Baltimore and
Philadelphia shall together with the
Mississippi succeed in diverting from
the city of New York large share of
the Western trade. it will be because Of
the State of New York, from her owning
the Erie Canal. Nothing short of an
adequate canal around Niagara Falls
can save that city its natural share Of
this trade. The North and
South must love each other ere they can
be at peace with each other Statesmen
are slow to learn that love is the cure of
all ills, national as well as individual.
A dark day is upon our guilty country.
1t will grow darker if the South and
North continue to hate each other. 1t
will become all light when they shall
love each other.

affairs where they are wont to worship !;
and the priests lead their hearts and
minds in pious humiliation, repentance,
thanksgiving and supplication. There
is cause for all ceremonious obser-
vances. Deceive man, but God is not

prayers, and in the year follow ing let

the largeness Of his aims.
For SHINING, not against Pharaoh, but

Our corn and our oil have failed Of their

in our land; the mama and the quails
come not yet. But the Throne of God
is mercy seat If sought Alright, He
will grant us deliverance and plenty.

An Incident of the Battle of Tishomingo.

An Incident Of the Battle OF Tishomingo
The following is from the November
number of the Land We Lo0e:
Wharton, Texas, gives an incident Of
the battle of Tishomingo, which we com
mend to the future historian of the war:
This fight was between General For
rest on the one side, and Gen. Sturgis on
the other. The latter had his headquar-
ters at the house of Mrs Brice, at Biice
Cross Roads. Here he kept his position
till late in the afternoon, encouraging
his soldiers by telling them, There is
only squad Of rebels out there, Forrest
is gone to Georgia. heard from him
this morning. Pitch in and drive off the
bushwhackers. Then he would walk to
the table, on which there were some
glasses, pitcher of water and bottle
of brandy. He drank to his own health
frequently, and seemed very confident Of
an easy victory over the handful of reb-
els, little dreaming that old Bedford was
there. Courier after courier dashed up
with the most encouraging accounts from
his brigade and regimental commanders.
Mrs. Brice, in an adjoining room, could
hear all that was said Each courier was
asked the question "How goes the bat
tie ?" Driving them, General at all
points" was the invarisble answer. Then
the messenger of good tidings would be
courteously invited to take drink. At
length, however, trooper dashed up
crying, "our men are giving way every
where, and the rebels are driving them
furiously The woods are full of rebels.
This messenger was not invited to
drink by the General He rose and
went to Mrs. Brice's room, and said to
her, MADAM, l know that you are an
enemy, and true to your own people,
but will you answer me one question z
"Yes, General, if can do so with pro-
priety." Can you tell me whom am
fighting, and how many men he has p
"You are fighting General N B, Forrest,
and he has about twenty thousand men.
THANK you, madam; / bid you good
day," and he departed.

A Nice Place..to Live.

The Selma (Alabama) Messenger
says "A gentleman who had some
experience in stopping over at Meridian
during the war, and whose business
called him to Mississippi, was expatia-
ting to General Johnston upon the dis.
comfort of an apprehended stoppage
there. oh, replied the General,
Meridian has improved. The hotel has
been burnt down. Upon this text a
writer in another journal descants as
follows:

war through Meridian does not remem

WHAT DoEs IT MEAN?- notice among the
arrivals at the Continental last night three gen.
tlemen who hold high official position in the
military world Maior-General J. A. HARDIE,
Inspector-Genersl and A. A. g.; Major-General
D. H. RUCKER the active and efficient officer who
superintended the immense Bureau of Trans
portation during the war; and Colonel A. j.
PERRY, Chief of the Second Division (of Cloth
lug and Equipage) the Quartermaster's Depart
ment General HARDIE has won an envlable
reputation for devotion to duty and official
ability during the war, and is the tried friend
and contidant OF Secretary STANTON. What are
these gentlemen doing in our city? Have they
come to investigate the affairs OF the Department
here and to examine INTO its rumored unneces-
sary size? Colonel DloKIM, the present Quarter
master, is an able officer, and we doubt not that
any examination will only reflect to his credit.
Should there be anything wrong it cannot be i'm
puted to him, but must rest with some OF his
predecessors.
