AGRICULTURAL JoKEs.-Ths Ohio Farmer
lets of the following: Large horses are gen
erally most admired who pony up. Prosperi-
ty is generally based upon knowledge and
industry the swine will always get most
that nose most. Farmers are like fowls,
neither will get full crops without industry.
Because man who attends flock Of sheep
is shepherd, makes no reason that man
who keeps cows is a coward. We like to
see farmer increase the growth of useful
plants and shrubs around his home. but do
not like to see him use rails, poles and boards
to propagate with.

suppose

How dsary would the meadows be
In the pleasant summer light.
Suppo~e there wasn't bird to sing,
And suppose the grass WAS white.
And dreary would the garden be,
With all its howery trees
Suppose there were no butterflies,
And suppose there were 10 bees.
And what would all the beauty be,
And what the song that cheers,
Suppose we hadn't any eyes,
And suppose We hadn't any ears
For though the grass were gay and green,
And sougbirds filled the glen.
And the air were purple with butterflies,
What good would they do US then,
All think of it, INV little friends,
And when some pleasure dies,
Why, let il 60 and still be glad
Tia, you have your ears and eyes,

Augusta and the South Carolina Rail-
road.

f. We have read, with some natural sur
prise, the following paragraph. published
in the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel Of
Thursday last:
eve learu that tho Southern mail which was
sent over the Columbia aud Augusta Railroad
on Saturday, was brought back agaiu-tle
authorities Of the South Carolina Rlilroad
having ordered theii' trains torun past Granite
vile. We cannos vouch for this sta, ement,
and sincerely hope that it IS incor 'ecI.'
Columbia PhGnir.
We have heard the samo thing, and from q
quarter which convinces US OF it's ontire truth
fulness Ii would seem that tho authorities
of TIC South Caro,ina Rod arc determined to
visit upon the public a portion Of their spleen
against the Columbia Road. The public has
nothing to do with the ltA!, squabble between
these rival corporations and should not be
made to undergo Inconvenience aud ve1ation
merely TO crafty the il-fce!ing against the
Columbia Road. We learn that the South
Carolina Road still refuses to stop its trains at
Granitcvile to tako on the mails and passen-
gers from tho Columbia line. This matter
should be corrected at onco.
The Chronicle has been SO uniformly
courteous in its discussion of public
questions, that We are satisfied that there
was no intention Of showing either party or
personal feeling in regard to line of rail-
road which has been of vast benefit to Au
gusta, as well as to Charleston. Waving,
therefore, the apparent harshness of the
Chronicles expressions, wo will give, as
briefly as we may, statement Of the facts
in relation to the alleged refusal of the
South Carolina Railroad to stop its trains
at Graniteville.
Two of the trains of the South Carolina
Railroad stop daily at Graniteville, both
going to and returning from Augusta, and
it is these trains which connect Augusta,
Columbia and Charleston. With one of
them the Columbia and Augusta Railroad
connected at Graniteville cfter its compile
ton to that point. So far, then, the South
Carolina Railroad cannot be censured, for
it gives Graniteville two trains each way
every day, and did give the Columbia and
Augusta Railroad q regular connection at
that point.

THE New YORK TRIBUNE calls upon the
Republicans in Congress to give the coun-
try secure and lasting peace, by joining
hands with the Southern landholders, mer-
chants, men of property, and nll who are
inclined to industry and thrift, on the Sim
pie and comprehensive platform of ''uni-
'tversal amnesty and impartial suffrage"
The most significant paragraph in the arti-
ole is this: Il,
We entreat the white Republicans Of the
South to consider we'll the position Of the
blacks. Most of these live on the lands Of
conservatives. otherwise rebels in the past;
three-fourths OF them either work for those
rebels or till their lands on shares; and all Of
them are connected by carly associations and
lifelong intimacy with those who once owned
and still employ, or at least shelter them.. So
long as thehocially dominant race were leagued
TO deny political rights to their former chat
tells, it was easy to rally the most OF these lat
tor to vote as the law of self-preservatlon die
tated; but from the moment in which the late
masters abandon this attitude for one Of frank
recognition and cheerful concession CT the
rights of the blacks, all this must inevitably
and utterly be changed. Between stranger
and sole massa"-especially when tho latter
happens to be genteman-it is just as GER
tain that che latter will have most influence
with the great body of Industrious, frugal,
docile negroes, as that water will run down
hill. For year or two, distrust OF sudden
conversions aud tho force of party discipline
may keep most blacks voting as they began;
but every days observance OF good faith and
fair dealing on tho part Of the plantation aris-
tocracy will bring more aud moro Of the
blacks over to their side, Al tho great body
OF them will be found shouting and voting
with the better portion Of theif lato masters.
1t were as idle to hope to resist this as to fight
against thaw in March or blossoms in May.

THE CHARLESTON NEWS has never been
an active member of this association, but
it has become so important that there
should be some concert of action on the
part of the Southern press, that we indulge
the hope that the annual meeting to be held
in Mobile on the ninth of February next
will be attended by representatives of all
the leading journals in the South.
And in saying this, we are not governed
only by the desire to meet those who have
borne the brunt of battles journalistic du-
ring three eventful years. This, in itself,
would be rare qualification; but we feel
that there are thoroughly practical results
to be worked for, and that, in strictly
business point of view, a conference Of the
proprietors and editors of the Southern news
papers should be of substantial benefit to
the profession. ..
There is also the consideration that We
have hitherto frittered away our strength.
Each newspaper has fought its own fights,
sectional, political or financial, in true que
rilla fashion; and the press of the South
have accomplished nothing, in comparison
with what they might have accomplished,
had each member been working with will
to secure the success of the whole. We do
not, of course, wish to see any newspaper
give up one particle of its individuality,
nor do we wish to dull the-ardor of the ad-
vocate of any LEGAL measure; but we can
not forget that we are, above all other
things, the representatives of the people
of the ten Southern States, and that it is
our duty, as well as our interest, to do all
that We may to swell the prosperity of our
people. This CON better be done if we
know with whom we are laboring, if we
have. q common aim, if we compare views
and exchange opinions, than when each
struggles on without regard TO the other.
At this time, and in the columns of
public journal, it would not be well to speak
too frankly of all that might be obtained
by the united efforts of the Southern press;
but it must strike every journalist that
there are questions to be decided now upon
which hinge the dsstinies Of this fair South
ern country, and which will determine
whe.ttcr these States shall move on at
snail's pace or press forward with the rap
;d;k~, ,ch;oh hoe n, III od tho oroufh of tho
West. ~.
We do not seek to excuse our past luke
warmness in regard to the Southern Press
Association; but we are Live now to its
importance, and urge our contemporaries
throughout the South TO send their repre-
-sentatives to the fast approaching meeting.
It has been said that we cannot act with
unanimity or combined force. This we, at
least, do not believe, nor shall we believe
it unless the meeting this gear IS failure.
This we do not fear; OIL the contrary, we
hope and believe that Mobile will witness
the largest gathering Of newspaper men
that the South has evsr known.
We are sstisfed tue: the railroads will
give the members &C he association all the
facilities in their power. and we now want
to know what papers III be represented.
THE CHARLESTON News will send one of its
editors or proprietors; what other Southern
papers will promise to do the same?

THE BILL introduced by Senator Sawyer
in Congress, TO authorize payment to be
made for services rendered to the United
States by persons who failed to take the
iron clad oath, will, we hope, become n law.
AS explained in our Washington letter pub
lshed yesterday, the measure is clearly
equitable, and we may add, that The class
of persons who would be benefited by i's
passage are generally in straiteued cir
oumstances. Senator Sawyer will do well
to push this little bill.

While bervi ing in his youth as minute wri-

Bismarck developed that irascibidty Of temper

better I'll kick you out OF the room." The
superior, who was present, tapped Bismarck on
the shoulder, and said: Turning man out OF
the room is my affair."" Presently a new cause
for complaint was given and Bismarck sprang
up again, exclaiming, eff You don't behave
better. I'll make my superior kick you out OF

ton and Augusta through train, which does
not stop at Granitev;lle. The reason is
thatthis third train was especially arrang-
ed for the accommodation of through travel:
1t is train put on to compete with the
East Tennessee and Knoxville and the Dan
vile and Charlotte. routes, Of which last
route the Columbia and Augusta Railroad
is now part It is plain enough, there
fore, that if the Columbia and Augusta
Railroad were permitted to connect with
the Through train" at Graniteville, the.
Charlotte route would at once be able to
compete, perhaps successfully, for the very
business for which the Through train was
established.
The Columbia and Augusta Railroad did
not dream of being able to connect with this
through train. Yet they abruptly changed
their schedule, broke connection with the
day train of the South Carolina Railroad,
and now endeavor to convince the public
that the South Carolina Railroad stands in
the way of their proper accommodation,
while the simple truth is that the whole
blame rests with tho Columbia and Augusta
Company alone.
As already noticed, the connection at
Graniteville was formerly made with the
South Carolina Railroad day train, and the
change was made without any notice being
given to the management Of the last named
road, so that there was not even the oppor-
tunity afforded them of making the change
that was desired. And we cannot even see
in what way Augusta would be benefited if
the new connection were allowed to be
made. The old day train arrived in Au-
gusta at about half past three o'clock in the
afternoon; the through train arrives there at
eight or nine o'clock at night. By the old
arrangement the Columbia mails could be
distributed in Augusta by S P. NJ; under
the new plan they would not be delivered
until the following morning.
The whole question is, and we say it
without fear of contradiction, not one Of
public convenience, but of convenience to
the Columbia and Augusta Railroad Com
pany. This company can connect with
either or both of two daily trains which
stop regularly at Graniteville. For time
it did connect with one of them, but it now
changes its schedule and demands q cornec-
ton with "through train"-a train which
never did stop at Graniteville, and cannot
do 80 without great loss of time, the dan
ger of missing connection at Augusta, and
risk of causing far greater inconvenience
to the public than can or does grow out of
the delays to which the passengers on the
Augusta road are exposed. The whole fault
lies at the doors of this Columbia and Au
gusta Railroad Company, and the Chronicle
will allow US to say, in all courtesy, that
the public "should not be made to undergo
inconvenience and vexation merely to gra-
tify the ill-feeling against" the South Caro-
lima Railroad, o corporation which is man
aged with as much liborality as ability, and
with every possible regard TO the comfort
and convenience of the whole travelling
public. III 1..,.
