George ID. Prentice has been constant
drinker for forty years. For ten years
he has been drinker of the lignum-vitg
order. He is n temperance lecture by
himself, worth a score, at least, ofthe Good
Templar exhortications and misrepresen-
tations:
"There is time when the pulse lies
low in the bosom and beats low in the
veins when the spirit sleeps the sleep
which, apparently, knows no waking
sleeps in its house of clay, and the win
dows are shut, the doors hung with the
invisible Grape of melancholy; when we
wish the golden sunshine pitchy darkness,
and wish TO fancy clouds where no clouds
be. This is a state of sickness when ply
sic may be thrown TO the dogs, for we
want none Of it. What shall raise the
spirit? What shall make the heart heat
music again, and the pulses, through all
the myriad thronged halls in the house of
life? What shall make. the sun kiss the
eastern hills again for us, with all its old
awakening gladness, and the night over
flow with moonlight, love and gladness ?
Love itself is the greatest, stimulant, the
most intoxicating Of all, and performs all
these miracles, and is a miracle itself, and
is not at the drug store, whatever they
say. The counterfeit is in the market,
but the winged god is not a money chang
er, we assure you.
"Men have tried many things, but still
they asked for stimulant
"Men try to buy the floating dead Of
their own souls in the wine cup, but the
corpse rises. We see their faces in the
bubbles. The intoxication of drink sets
the world whirling again, and the pulses
to playing music and the thoughts gallop-
ing, but the first clock runs down sooner,
and an unnatural stimulant only leaves
the house it filed with the widest revel-
~, more silent, more sad, more deserted.
There is only one stimulant that never
intoxicates, duty. Duty puts a clear sky
over every man into which the skylark-
happiness-always goes singing"

h is surprising to us to see Southern pa
disturb themselves concerning the Fif-
Pin Amendment and such other crazy
of the party in power as go home to the

come to us.
far as the local operation of the Fiji
Pa Amendment is concerned we of the
fh are under its full influence to-day, and
passes 80 as to infiict the Northern
es with the beauties of reconstruction,
certainly no cause of grief TO us. Let
I fight it out among themselves.
regards the excitement prevailing on
score at the North, we regard it with
hngled satisfaction. 1t is one of the
n, among many, that the Northern peo-
n conquering us for the sake of our cot
pave invoked the furies of national anar-
of their own heads-that in destroy
our liberties they have destroyed
own. The State of Ohio, in which an

SECOND DAY.
TUESDAY, October, 9th, 1869.

Convention met pursuant to adjournment.
On motion of Mr.. Kendall, the COnven-
ton resumed nominations for the Office of
Secretary of State.
Mr. Harper z. Hunt of Warren, favored
the nomination of a colored man for that
office, and submitted the name of Thos. Sim
clair, of Copiah.
Mr.. Hansfow, as Chairman of the Copiah
delegation, thanked Mr.. Hunt for suggesting
the name of Mr.. Sinclair, and endorsed his
capacity and claims for the Office.
Mr.. Smythe, of Adams, moved to elect
Mr.. Sinclair by reclamation, which was
ruled out of order.
Mr.. Redus moved to suspend the rule re-
curing balloting as to this particular NOM
lnatlon, but subsequently withdrew the
A delegate from Claiborne, presented the
name of Thos. Richardson, a colored man
from that county, as one eminently qualified
for the office. He had recently been admit
ted to the practice of law, had lived in
Claiborne many years, and was highly re-
spected By all classes in Claiborne.
Mr.. j. r. Highgate, (colored) of Madison,
having been nominated at the session of last
night presented bis own claims for the Office.
thought that intelligence should not be ig-
nored, and that MIR. Richardson and himself
were perhaps the only colored delegates in
the Convention who possessed the qualificA-
tions necessary for the Office of Secretary of
State.

tons to Messrs. Highgate and Richardson
because the first wanted TO force himself on
the Convention, and because il was claimed
for the latter that he had no enemies!
Mr.. Nelson, of Amite, urged the claims
of Mr.. Richardson.
Mr.. Gallons, of Adams thought It ill-timed
and In bad taste to be discussing the merits
Of candidates.
Mr.. Carter. {colored) Of Adams, made re-
marks of similar purpOrt.
Judge Stone, of Copiah, urged the claims

PRUNING FRUIT TREES. Western
Rural, when alluding TO pruning, says
that the way this work is generally done,
by the majority Of our farmers, is every
once in four or FIVE years, when the
orchard has developed a mass Of tangled
brush, dead limbs, water sprouts and
suckers, and has become both unfruitful
and an eyesOre, to take AK and saw and
go in for a regular dressing out. This
may be done in the proper season or out
of it, according as they happen TO have
the most spare time. This extreme and
usually ill-timed butchery generally re-
suits in great injury, which is then re-
garded as the legitimate effect of prun-
ing; and like the backwoodsman, who
made a practice of combing his locks
only once a year, and found it such a
serious narrowing joy, that he concluded
to give it up altogether. they, charging
the effects Of their neglect and savage
butchery to the account of proper cul-
ture, determine henceforth 10 ignore it
entirely.
