An Atlanta letter says: "One of the
largest and wealthiest merchants in this city
told me this morning, that since the passage
by the Convention of the temporary ordi>
nance prohibiting levy of executions and sale
of property he has not been able to collect a
hundred dollars, and that business, except a
little retail trade, is practically dead through
out the State. A number Of agents of North
ern mercantile houses are here, looking as
black as thunder cloud. They are not col
lecting dime. Compared with the present
financial condition of the State, that Of this
time last year was prosperity. 1 never saw
such stagnation and utter want of confidence.
Credit is dead and buried"

the saw was stolen, gave in evidence that

up into an appealing attitude, screwed his
mouth up, and placing his eyes upon tho
Mayor, each in its own separate line of OBJ

expression, thus made out his own case =

The Toledo CogIHerciGl publishes letter
written by one of the late telegraphic expe-
ditiou to Siberia. The writer says
"You say that you cannot imagine how We
live in such climate. couldn't until /

possible for me to lay out in the snow with

Bush's parties, in February of this year,
passed the night ON an open barren steppe,
with their spirit thermom Z standing sixty-
eight below zero, or a hundred degrees below

furs and wolf-skin sleeping bags to tie up

4 gentleman Writes to the New York

"A gentleman writes to the New York
Herald that he has received letter from Af-
rica that confirms the reports printed in the
English papers that white man supposed to
be DIR. Livingstone is travelling in that coun-
try. The additional Information is given that
the clothes which the negro says the white
man wore correspond exactly with those which
DIR. Livingstone took with him from ZaDze-
bar. Additional facts leave but little doubt
that this man is no other than Livingstone.
1t is said that in the great wbeat-grow-
ing counties of Central Illinois a very large
breadth of land, more than that of last year,
has been sown in wheat. Through the coun-
ties of Macoupin, Greene, Madison, st. Clair
and Clinton, the show is said to be magnif-
cent. Along the main trunk and branch of
the Illinois Central railroad the wheat also
has a promising look. IF nothing untoWard

The committee of twenty-five appointed
by the Grant meeting at Cooper Institute,
New York, on the 4th ult,, held a meeting
on Thursday evening, Alexander T. Stewart
in the chair. A circular letter was adopted,
to be sent to business men throughout the
country, urging them to organize meetings
similar to the one at Cooper Institute, exclu>
siye of parties, for the purpose of urging
General Grant as candidate of the people
of all grades of politics for the next Presi-
dency. If General Grant can be kept out of
the Radical party he may be elected. But
if he endorses negro suffrage Hancock will
beat him.

1t is curious how fashion changes affect

for instance, has helped the shoe trade won

If Judean captives sat and wept

As memories of Zion far,
Came flowing the tides;
If on the willows hung their harpsI
When asked to wake a strain

On Chaldea's distant plain
If they a fearful curse invoked.

Prayed that each traitor tongue benuc9bcd,

If they allowed disloyalty,
Old memories to destroy.
If they held not Jerusalem
Above their chiefest jJy;
Shall not weep virginia's hills,
Her grassy slopes and plainsj
Her cities and her villages;
Her cottages and fanes;
Her sons SO gallant, chivalrous;
Her bracing mountain air.
Her daughters pure and beautiful

Shall not my heart remain unstrung,
The captive sing no more:
How can wake the minsIrelsy

The Swiss may pine for glaciers wild;
The Scot Tor glen and lake;
The Suliote for his Island home,
Where maids the vintage make;
pine for grand old mountains far,
Where the free Eagles form
Floats dimly in the upper sky,
Fierce monarch of the storm!
The scene of happy boyhood's years;
OF manhood 's vigorous prime;
OF memories that shall e'en survive

Beneath the grassy sod;
Aud there's my darling brothers. form,
iIed with his young life's blood;
And there pure and gentle wife
Wecps in her widowhoCd;
and there grey haired father mourns,
The loved ones gone TO God
A curse then on my good right hand;
A curse upon my tongue;
If forget my Southern home,
The loins of which / sprung!

There may calmly die;
