Ben. wade and Joshua r. Giddings.

BENJAMIN f. Wadean the late Joshua
r.. Giddings used to be constant COM
petitors at the bar in Ashtabula, their
place of residence. In the early part OF
his practice Wade was defending man
AGAINST an action of SANDER, and, after
having concluded a very effective speech
to the jury, sat awkwardly leaning back
ward, his feet OH the counsel table, and
facing Giddings, who was attempting to
lie eloquent in behalf of his slandered
client. "Old Gid," as he was fumiliarly
called, knew little smattering of Shaks-
peare, and now determined to bring
that great author to his aid.
"Gentlemen of the jury, "said he, with
much ar6ior,
"'He that steals my purse. steals trash,
But he that robs Inc OF my good name
(AhemD
AT this point, to his great discontinue,
Shakespeare deserted him. He repeated,
"'But he that roas me OF my good naine--'"

"Takes that | never had, whispered
Wade, as if prompting him, and so dis
tincily as 10 be heard by all in the room.
| Amid the laughter and his own con-
fusion. Giddings brought his speech 10
such '1ame and impotent conclusion"
that his client recovered but six and a.
half cents for his lost character .r

Seeds for the South,

Gen. Sickles will include the agents
for the distribution of seeds in his regis
tration orders. Mr. T. C. Peters,, who
is the general agricultural agent for dis
tlibution throughout the South, and has
already come to this State for the purpose
of making arrangements for the estab-
lishment of agencies, of which every cleo
ton precinct will have one. An endeav-
or will also be made to establish Agricul-
tural Societies in each County or District,
and with the aid of the Legislatures, to
form State Agricultural Institutes. The
Yorkville Enquirer says:
This is good idea, and if carried out
in a proper way, will add materially to
the wealth of our country. Agricultu-
raj societies are powerful assistants in
the work of developing the resources of
State or neighborhood. The inter
change of ideas between farmers at such
meetings, give an additional interest to
the pursuit Of farming as we'll as dittuses
valuable information among the members.
Wherever t1ourishiag agricultural So
ciety is found, an improved system of
farming, high cultivation and superior

knowledge is necessary to make it pay
its highest profits for the least ezpendl-

Mr.. Peters will not be defeated by any
backwRdness or old-fogyism on the
part of our people.

THE FAREWELL.

In memory Of LIEUT.. J. B. WRIGHT, Of the
Augusta Lee Rifles" who died near Win
chester, Sept. 2Sth, 1852.
Twas pleasant summer evening and the sun
went slowly down,
Behind those noble mountains that encompass
US around,
And soldiers, in their gray attire, were passing
to and fro,
With saddened hearts, but stern resolve, on
many noble brow.
Tomorrow they must leave their homes, and
kind and loving friends,
To risk their health, their lives, there all, cur
country to defend,
From hordes ofcruel Mortimer, who come to
seek our blood,
To desolate our hearth stones, and WELD the
tyrant's rod.
had parted from my youthful friends, our
country's joy and pride,
But the earliest friend among them all still
4 noble, christian soldier,-one of that chosen
band,
Among the first, to draw their swords, to free
their native land.
A shadow had been resting on his spirit pure
and brave,
Far in the sunny South where the tall Palmettoes
wave,
Where orange groves are blooming, and sum
IL waited from a thousand flowers, that shed
their fragrance there,
Twas there amid those lovely scenes, the cherish
ed one fyears,
Would mourn his long. long absence, IN silence
He might not foid her to his heart, in fond and
last fare we'll!
Oh! would they ever meet again: no earthly
tongue could tell.
Hooked into those calm, brown eyes, again, and
yet again,
sought 70 speak some cheerful words, alas
twas all IN vain;
'God bless yo2," with trembling lip, was all
that could say,
But silently he pressed my hand, then quickly
walked away.
We have met and parted more than once since
that sad summer day,
But never can forget the look with which he
turned away;
Among the sweet, sad memories, that fill the
silent past,
,Twill linger, as mournful song, borne on the
autumn blast.
He had passed unscathed thro' battles fierce, and
summers fervid breath,
But autumn leaves were scarcely tinged, when
stern relentless death,
Breathed on his peaceful slumbers, and claimed
him for his OVID,
While friends and comrades stood around
Virginia's gallant son.
Our greetings and sad partings, our fondest
hopes are o'er,
His manly form, his cheerful smile, will gladden.
US no more,
But in the home he loved so well, the Heaven
beyond the sky,
With his sweet voice, he swells the song, with
angel choirs on high.
Oh! Liberty-is this thy price? say must we
yield to thee,
The noblest, bravest, kindest, best, before we
can be free?
Must maidens mourn their lovers. and mothers
their first born,
And widows weep o'er orphaned babes, bereft
in LIES young morn?
lis even thus, but yet we own, thou art of
priceless worth.
And Southern hearts, will yield for thee, the
dearest ones Of earth,
While Hopes brigl visions look beyond, where
ceaseless ages roll,
And tyrsnts power can never bind, the freedom
of the soul,

CHANCES OF WAR.-The Nation doubts
that there will be war between France
and Prussia. There is no country in
Europe to which war, and, above all, a
war of even moderate length, such as a
war with France would be sure to be,
would prove so burdensomc as to Prus-
s:a, because in none would so little fight
ing be done by professional soldiers, and
so much by men drawn suddenly from
all the trades and professions. Other
nations hire men to fight; in Prussia the
whole community may be said to lay
down their tools and 60 to. the field ;
and no statesman who has to arrest the
social machine whenever he mobillzcs the
army would ever think of doing so with
the recklessness or alacrity with which
the Emperor Napoleon or the Austrian
Kaiser pours his forces into foreign terri
tory to fight for province or an idea.
Prussia, though one of the most warlike
of the great European States, has had a
more peaceful history than any of them.
In fact, from the foundation Of the mon
archy to the present day, period of one
hundred and fifty years, including the
reign of the great Frederick and the wars
of the French revolution, she has enjoyed
one hundred and twenty-five years of
peace.

About Politics.

The contributorial editor of the York,
vile Enquirer in noticing the letter OF
Gov. Perry, lets out the following sensi-
BILE reflections:
Politics is a big thing.
Mr.. Perry advises everybody to re-
gister and vote mo Convention"
The Columbia Phoenix replies to Mr..
Perry, and we'll nigh annihilates him ;
and proves that the course Mr.. Perry
recommends is very Perry-lous.
The Phoenix further intimates that
it thinks our old leaders would better
fall back and let the new regime prevail.
We concur.
These old leaders have been running
the machine for 10! these many years ;
and the blindesJ of US begin to see that
the machine has been badly managed.
We find on all hands a growing dis
position to advise these old leaders to
modestly retire from the scene Of their
failure and let other hands man the ship.
The fact is, too, that Congress, in this
military bill, rather corcibly urges the
same advice.
AS things stand, we consider it rather
likely that these old leaders will act on
the advice of Congress. .
The men who led US in 1860 are not
the men to lead US in 1867, and for two
reasons.
The first reason is that they have
proved to be false prophets.
The second reason is like the first
they failed. and in that failure lost con,
fdence of both friends in the South and
enemies in the North.
Mr.. Perry thinks there is hope to the
South in the recent Democratic successes
in Connecticut.
Almost everybody else thinks that the
Democratic party is large humbug.
Mr.. Orr is evidently of that opinion.
