while he condemned the practice of using
these Bitters too freely, he could not con-

from the side-board, for he himself had ex-

he was convinced that when used moderately
and as medicine exclusively, they were
all that was recommended. At the same

That the. South is rapidly developing in
the great elements of prosperity-the great
est OF all, industry is one of the most
gratifying facts of the year. Since the late
election. especially, there is apparent such
a general turning from politics to private
enterprises and labors, that Dixie begins to
show like new country. The South will
very soon reconstruct herself in that way;
and she never will in any other. Happy
day that she has begun to see it.

IHE DYING Wharf.-The following beauti-
full lines will be read with pleasure by old
and young:
From the old woods dim and lonely.
Comes a moan;
There the winds are signing only,
Summers gone!"
All the bright and sunny hours,
And the green and leafy bowers.
With the summers latest flowers,
Arc faded now;
And the brow
OF the waning year
Has been twined with dying leaves.
And the gathering sheaves
Tell us autumn's here
Now the winds go loudly moaning
Through the wales;
And the forest trees are groaning
MOurnful tales
OF decays that swiftly gather,
or the coming wintry weather,
OF the snow that like feather
Soon will fall
And the call
OF death is sighing
Over all the ripping streams;
And the summers lingering CLEANS
Are sadly dying
lis the waning, waning twilight
OF the year
That hovers now, all strangely bright,
Round US here;
And soon the year will pass away,
Like the Light of an autumn day.
Adown old winters dim highway
To its tomb;
And the gloom
Of the silent land
VIII rest on the bright years flown;
And the winds of time will moan
Ger the dreamless band

number of several hundred congregated in
Bull street, opposite Wayman Lodge room,
and about half-past 8 o'clock, were arranged
in procession under the direction of S. B.

A. M. e. Church, where, after prayer by
Rev. VIM. Johnston, addresses suitable to
the occasion were delivered by At.c-aaJ-
General Chamberlain and colored man

until evening. In the evening, the process
sion was reformed, and with torches, Ro-
man candles, etc., paraded the streets and
serenaded Mayor Mckenzie, Speaker Moses,
Treasurer Parker, Comptroller Neagle and
Secretary Cardoza, all of whom delivered
short addresses, and were warmly applaud

The proceedings in Congress on
Wednesday last were cmtuently disor-
derby. Mr. Benjamin F. Butler, fading
an incompetent msn-aus who, never
thclese, WAS quite right in the
position he msintained--in the chair
Of the joint meeting OF the two houses,
made display Of noise ard blns:er, with
the purpose Of intimidation, which, was
far more successful than Ike attempt by
him against Fort Fisher. The explosion
confused hlr. Wade; and 1t Is diff
cult to decide which Was the more
humiliatsng, the incapaclty In the chair,
or the clustering on the hoor. The
original mistake In this mstter was in the
adoption Of the Edmunds joint resolu-
ton providing for the hypothetical ex-
clusion Of the vote Of the State Of Georgia.
As lAte as last July, Congress by law
provided for the exclusion Of the elcc-
tofal vote OF those rebel States which
should 10. be 1eorgRnizcd and have be-
cemc entitled to representation in Con-
arefs. This act was intended to apply To
Virginia, Texas and M.ssiss,pp,
and no other States. The Repre-
Eentatives from Georgia were ad-
mitted to Congress, but tho Srnasoss
have been most upjustidably excluded.
Mr. Edmunds, with that propensity to
tinker which is peculiar to so many
Statesmen OF the present day, on Monday
rushed through resolution declaring, no
that the yole Of Georgia should be c,
should not be counted, but thas,it b.
counting it the general result was no
changed, then that the woe should h
stated, both including the vote OF Georgis
ard excluding it. Unfortunately bo.t
houses adopted this resolution, AMI til
result OF IL WIS the unseemly contest BE-.
