Representing nothing in Gods earth now,
And naught in the waters below it
As pledge Of the nation that's dead and gone,
Keep it, dear friend, and show it.
Show it to those who will lend an ear,
To the tale that this paper can tell,
Of Liberty born-of Patriot dream
OF the storm Graded nation that fell.
Too poor to possess the precious ores,
And too much q stranger TO borrow,
We issue to-day our promise to pay,
And hopet to redeem on the morrow.
The days rolled ON, and weeks became years,
But our Golfers were empty still,
Coin was so rare that the Treasury qpaked,
If dollar should drop in the till.
But the faith that was in us was strong indeed,
And our poverty we'll discerned,
And these little checks represented thepay
That our poor volunteers had earned.
We knew it had hardly value in gold,
Yet, IS gold our soldiers received IT.;
It gazed in our eyes with promise to pay,
And each patriot soldier believed it.
But our boys thought little of price or pay,
Or Of bills that were then overdue;
We knew if it brought us our bread to-day,
Twas the best our poor country could 90.
Keep it, for it tells us our history DER,
From the birth of its dream to the last;
Modest, and born Of the angel Hope,
Like the hope of success itpassed.

THE CROPS IN'THE STATE.

THE CROPS m 1.-THE STATE.
The letters published in our columns during the
last week, show in detail tie condition and pros
poets of the crops in every part of the State, and
written as they were by men thoroughly familiar
with the agricultural condition of their respective
neighborhoods, the information which they con-
tain is as valuable as it is interesting. this time
it s of course, too early to estimate the cotton crop
of the State; but the corn and wheat crops are so
far advanced that their extent may be readily cal
culated. We are also able to show the manner in
which the freedmen are working, and what is the
apparent effect of the use of fertilizers. Taking,
then, the reports already published as basis, and
adding to them agricultural intelligence obtained
from other Sources, we are able to draw some gen.
eral conclusions in regard to labor and the crops in
South Carolina For the purpose ofshowing these
clearly, we divide the State into four groups of
counties. l. The mountain region, consisting Of
Oconee, Pickens, Anderson, Greenville and Spar
tanbuY. 2. The upper middle section, consisting
of Abbeville, Laurens Union, York, Chester,
Edgefeld, Newbeny, Fairfield, Lancaster, Ker-
shaw and Chesterfield 3. The lower middle sec
ton, consisting of Marlboro, Lexington Rchlaud,
Sumter, Darlington, Marion, Barnwel, Orange
burg, Clarendon and Williamsburg. T. The sea-
coast region, consisting of Beaufort, Charleston,
Colleton, Georgetown and Horny. The agricultu-
raj characteristics of the four divisions are pointed
out by the census of 1860, which shows the crops
in that wear to have been as follows.

BURIED ALIVE.

The New Orleans Regnaae relates horrible
story Of young lady Of that city who was recently
buried alive The unfortunate being was native
of the lower part Of the Second District and much
excitement was caused there when the terrible o.
currence became Known It seems that the young
lady, whose name it is unnecessary to mention,
upon returning from early mass on = Sunday
morning, was suddenly taken ii Of disease Of tEs
heart, and, as was supposed at the time, was suf.
located to death, owing to her unusual AeshinesR
A physician, her own uncle, bad attended her in
her last moments, and pronounced her dead. The
death ofthis young lady in the bloom Of life lat
the age of20 yesn) caused much sympathy ii, tie
ueighborhood, and her funeral, which took plaza
in the evening Of the day of her death, attracted
large concourse of people. She had died about
o'clock in the morning, and the funeral occurred
at in the evening - -,
So fan there is nothing remarkable in this ac-
count, except probably the short lapse Of time
from the time Of the lady death to that Of her
interment in one Of the Catholic cemeteries fthe
Second District But the report goes On to-say,
that on that same evening the sexton Of the grave
yard, having some business to attend to in town,
left his BON, Of mature age, in charge Of the keys,
with the instruction to close the gates at the usual
hour, after making his round through the cemste-
~, in order that no visitor might be accidentally
confined inside. About dusk the sections son
while going his round, passing near the tomb in
which the young lady had been buried sc sH On
hour before, heard low and heart.rending meanings
coming from behind the marble slab. Losing his
self Possession, and overcome With fear, he hur-
redly left the scsne, and closing the main gateof
the cemetery, went home, and it was not until
morning that be related the circumstance to his
horror t-sncken family. Information Of Tie facts
was immediately sent ito the bereayed family Of the
deceased, and yorkmen were soon engaged in open
ing the tomb and breaking open the coffin enco-
sing the remains Of the young lady.
The spectacle was too horrible to describe. Her
face and body were in terrible state of distortion,
her hair torn from the roots In the terrible con-
vulsions which had preceded her death, she had
literally narrowed her beautiful face with her nails,
and her elenched fists in contact with her foaming
lips showed the traces of her teeth. It is unne-
cessary to say that life was entirely extinct We
will not relate the terrible impressions which this
awful circumstance produced on theminds of those
present, for it can be more readily imagined than
described. The coffin and tomb were closed once
more; this time forever upon the victim of misfor.
tune and the story went out to the world as above
described.

A TOUCHING SroRY.-The Hon. A. a. Steph-
ens of Georgia, at a meeting at Alexandris, for
the benefit of the Orphan Asylum and free school
of that city, related the following anecdote:
"A poor little boy, on.a cold night, with no
home nor roof to shelter his head, no paternal or
maternal guardian or guide to protect or direct
him on his way, reached at nightfaIl the home ofa
wealthy planter. who took him in, fed and lodged
him, and sent him On his way with blessing
These kind attentions cheered his heart and in
spired him with fresh courage to battle with the
obstacles of life. Years rolled round; Providence
led him on, he reached the legal profession; his
host had died, the cormorants that prey on the
substance of man, had formed conspiracy to
get from the widow her estate. She sent for the
nearest counsel to commit her cause to him, and
that counsel proved TO be the orphan boy long be-
fore welcomed and entertained by her deceased
husband. The stimulus offs warm and tenacious
gratitude was now added to the ordinary motive
connected with the profession. he undertook her
cause with will not easy to be resisted, he gained
it, the widows estates were secured to her in per-
petuity," and Mr. Stephens added, with an en-
phasis of emotion that sent an electric thrill
throughout the house, "That boy stands before

BORROWING.

one morning, "the meal which we borrowed from
MI. Black few days ago is almost out, and We
must bake tomorrow"
"Wel," said her husband, 'tsend and borrow
half bushel at Mr. Whites; he sent to mill yester-
day." ST.. -, :...-aa,.
'And when it comes shall we return the peck
we borrowed more than month ago from the wid.
ow Grey?"
"No," said the husband, grufay, ''she can send
for It when she wants it. Sam, do you go down
to Mr.. Browns and ask him to lend me his axe to
chop some wood this forenoon; ours is dull, and I
saw him grind his last night And Jim, do you
go to MI. Clark's and ask him to lend me ham
mer; and do you hear? you might as well borrow
a few nails while you are about it."
A little boy enters and says, Father sent me to
ask if you had done with his hoe, which you bor-
rowed week ago last Wednesday; he wants to
use it,
"Wants his hoe, child2 What can he want with

Times Old and New.

Senator Wilson, in the
United States Senate, in reply
ing to some remarks by Sena-
tOrSprague, made the follow
ing reference to times old and
new. 1t contains some truths
which laboring men would do
we'll to remember, when dema-
gogues prate to them of hard
times. He says:
l know something of the
stern trials of men who seek of
their fellow men leave TO toll
for wages, but | know, and |
am grateful to God for The
cheering fact that the laboring
men of the country have made
immense progress during the
past third of a century. /
speak not now of the mighty
change in the condition of the
toiling millions of the South.

cents per day for their labor,
and received their pay not in
money, but in corn at one dol.

enteen cents per pound. Wo-
men in those days went out to
labor, to do housework, to spin
and weave for fifty cent S per
week.
Sir, | venture to state a fact
that illustrates the wonderful
improvement in the condition
Of working men. In the WIN
ter of 1886, when | became of
age, | hired myself for one
month to a farmer of my native
town. | went into the forests,
drove teams, chopped wood and
timber, working at least four

sum Of six dollars in cash. |

nate to get six dollars in money
for that months hard toll.

We copy the following from
the Marietta Register, of last
week: "Geo. Shivers was an
inmate of the Lunatic Asylum
at Columbus, when burnt, last
fall. Since then he has been
with his brother-in-la Geo.
Hickman, of Coal Run; and
has usually been very quiet,
but afraid of everybody. About
five weeks ago he ran away to
the woods, and after several
days diiligent search he was
found in an old tobacco house
and had nearly perished with
cold and want OF food. On the
18th inst. he ran away again
and every effort to ascertain
his whereabouts has been un
successful, although a liberal
reward has been offered. He
probably again concealed him
self in the woods, and ere this
has no doubt perished."

GA Thing Of the Past.

In the Virginia Conservative
Convention at Richmond, the
ultras were defeated. The dis, ,
position of the majority was
not to offer any truculent op.
position to the Constitution
and SO delay reconstruction
and representation. This ac-
tion is undoubtedly due to the
influence which the President,
who is anxious to have all the
States represented, has had
upon the people of Virginia.
To those who oppose the
Constitution and insist that if
negro suffrage be forced upon
the State, no Virginian should
do any thing seeming to con-
sent to it, the significant reply
was made that such arguments
were "things of the past" Ne
gro suffrage was an accom-
plished fact, and Virgin;ans
should make the best of it.
This is sensible. Negro suf-
frage is the inevitable Sc
quence OF negro emancipation
and citizenship. Whatever
opposition is made to it, and
however the struggle may be
prolonged, yet it will come
No class of citizens in this Re-
public can ever remain perma,

race or color. The principle
