"Bill is an old friend of ours, we hav.

Rome, Ga, formerly law partner of
Hon. j. w. II. Underwood, before the
war member Of Congress from the
Rome District. He was a Judge of the
Inferior Court Of Floyd county several

Undimnei by solr,w, unhurt by time,
Where age has no power DER the fadeless

Where the eye is FIRE, and the heart is fame,
Have you heard Of that sun-bright CLINE
A river Of water gushes there,
Mid flowers Of beauty 30 strangely fair,
A thousand wings are lowering Ger
The dazzling waves, aud the golden shore,
That are seen In that sunlight cline.
Millions of forms all clothed in light,
In garments Of beauty clean and white,
They dwell in their owa immortal bowers,
Mid the golden hues, and countless flowers,
That bloom in that sun-bright cline.
Ear hath not heard, nor eye hath seen
Their swelling songs end the changeless

Thoir ensigns ore waving, their banners un-
Ger the Jasper walls, and tho gates Of
That are fixed in tho sun-bright cline.
But far, far away is that'sun.bright clime,
Undimned by sorrows, unhurt by time,
There amid all things that for us were

The home OF the just, and its name is
Heaven,
That's the name Of that sun bright cline.

The Commissioner of Agriculture, in
a late communication to the speaker OF
the House of Representatives urges the
most stern and stringent, nay despotic,
measures on the part of the Government,
to prevent the introduction Of the fatal
riude,pest among the cattle of this coun-
try. England has suffered terribly from
a fatal disease; while France, which pur-
sued judicious policy escaped almost

at first opposed extreme measure, are

for remedies capable of overcoming the

rain of l745, which ravaged Eengland
for twelve years, and in the last year

LAST MOMENTS OF SENATOR Foot
Senator Foot, who had been quietly
sinking for the last two days, spent
quiet night. His wife, brother and
nephew were the only relatives present
at his death. He retained his conscious
ness to the last, spoke freely to those
around him, and expressed himself will
ing and ready to die. His farewell to
Senators Fessenden and Grimes was
very affecting. They had been long to-
gether and We're near friends. His col
league, Senator Pollard, was with him
part Of the time.
In the morning he felt he was failing
very fast and again he bid his friends
farewell. He then asked them to raise
him up, and let him take one more look
at the Capitol, the dome and new wings
of which have been built under his I'M
mediate supervision while Chairman OF
the Senate Committee on Public Build
ings. His friends raised him up in the
bed, when he reached his hands out, and
clasped them around his kness, ana
without uttering a word closed his eyes.
They then laid him down, and he soon
ceased to breathe, thus passing away

resignation, he had spoken of his conn
dence of meeting many OF his friends III

MIR. JOHNSON AND Mr.. DANA.-A
Washington letter to the Cincinnati
Commercial, an administration paper
states that the way Mr.. Charles A.
Dana's letter to the President came to be
published was as follows:
The editor of the Washington Repu6-
Hcd22, in conversation With the Presi-
dent, remarked that it was strange to
him that Dana should be 50 strong in
his opposition, and so venomous in his
denunciation of Mr.. johnson. g You
must be mistaken about that said the
President, g never read that paper,
but Mr.. Dana is a friend of mine, and
endorses all l have done about recon-
struction." To convince him to the
contrary, an ill-tempered and vitupera-
tive article from the Chicago Republican
was shown to his EXcellency. That's
strange" said the President, tapping one
of the little bells that, according to MIR.
Seward have such wonderful power
over the fate of individuals. A messen-
ger entered the Executive sanctum, and
said Mr.. johnson, "Tell - to send me
a letter from Mr.. Dana applying for the
New York Collectorship." The missive
was produced, and read. The President
smiled. Isn't that funny?o said he
and the next day the country was in
formed by telegraph why the immacu-
late Dana didn't like the President.
