Climbing Up.

II lisa very common thing to hear people
excuse their want of cultivation, of educa-
ton. of responsibility, of retinement-in
fact. of all the qualities that give one social
value and position-by referring to the many
great men who have risen from the lowest
round of the human ladder. They point to
Shakespeare, Claude Lorraine, Columbus.
Napoleon. and other historically famous in
dyduals Including Horace Greeley-and
trace them back TO their early poverty and
ignorance, as an excuse. They say, "If
these men came from my class, 1t must be
the best one The matter lies in Il nutshell.
The lowest circle is an excellent one to get
away FROM The difference between Will
liam Shakespeare and John Smith is, that
William could not remain in an ignoble po-
sition, that Circumstance could not keep
him there, while John cannot elevate him
self above the surroundings in which
he was originally placed. 1t is no
disgrace to "A man to have assembled from the
lowest and most degrading condition, but it
is an overwhelming shame il he remains in
it when he has such brilliant exam plies be-
fore him. To say that IA man ''haS had 10
advantages is merely to say he has not ia
ken advantage OF circumstances. None of
the great men in history, those whose names
and memories are like shining lamps, illu-
mining the present through all the mists OF
the past, had advantages They seized
their circumstances with an iron grasp, and
made them into advantages by their own
strong wills and superior talent. The same
climb, wearying to the feet and blistering to
the hands, bat 1t has been climbed, and there
are many now in the mire and misery OF the
bottom round, who. unmindful of bills ers
or weariness, will attain the highest before
they die.

n Large Scale.

On the fifth day of March last. two men
nv the respective names of Benrly and
Henley. purchased OF the Mexico National
Exchange Bank" in this city. three several
drafts. on the Estates Saving Institution in
St Louis. One ofthese drafts was paid. and
returned canceled in a few days. The 9TH
ers were not heard from until few days
since. 1t seems that these parties were ac-
eompIished forgers and swindlers. They
made their wav to Texas, Ostensihy for the
purpose of buying Texas cattle. Trey bore
4 letter OF introduction to a Mr.. BTitton III.
Odom of Austin in that State. from a gem
tleman with whom he was acquainted. and
in whom he confded. They represented TO
Mr. Odom, that they were there for the pur-
pose of buying cattle extensively, that their
funds we're in drafts that they desired to
cash. and at their request, he introduced
them to banking concerns to which they
thousand dollars. In due time ii transpired
that these drafts were bogus. The banks
informed Mr. Odom Of the fact who imme-
diately started in pursuit ofthe scamps. He
was fortunate enough to overtake and arrest
them, and recovered all the money of " hich
they had robbed the banks, except about
$500. He found in their possession large
number of bogus checks. and among them
the two checks of the Mexico National Ex-
change Bank. One of those checks WAS for
$3.50, which they had raised to 500 and the
other for $3.50 raised tn $500. Bently, we
learn, was a tall fine looking man. well
dressed, Of graceful and easy manners. and
evidently a man OF culture and refinemGn mt.
There plan seems to have been well digested
and arranged, but through the vigilance OF
Mr.. Odom. their grand speculation was
suddenly brought to an ignominlous ana
profitless termination.

An obstreporous negro was shot on Thurs
day last at Enterprise. The Meridian Mer-
curry says that he did some act for which a
a policeman undertook to arrest him. He
made fight, and drew pistol on the officer.
whereupon the officer shot and wounded
him, and then overpowered him. As ne
was being conducted to the lookup ne
called upon the negroes standing about 10
come to his rescue. They looked quietly
on and let the law take its course, like good
boys.
On Thursday last, difficulty occurred
near Enterprise between a Conservative
and Radical negro. in which the latter.
named Dolby, had his throat cut and was
killed.

A Tourists Paradise.

"If there be an elysium on EARTH" it is
according to Sn eloquent correspondent who
has been travelling in the Caucasus-on the
banks of the Phasis, two days journey from
Titfiis. The river. he says. '.wanders
through an exuberance of tropical shrubs
and grasses, and tinted trees, laurels and
rhod0dendrcns. Species of palm and wild
fruit trees of every kind grow almost rank.
And there are birds of all sorts; besides the
native pheasant, woodcocks, wild ducks,
snipes and cOlored birds abound. This is
the bank of the garden, but away from it
stretch the mountain. folding back one above
the other to a distance of thirty or forty
miles-first the wooded range. then the less
distinct blue. and then the snow peaks -
Over all was glow of the soitest light, and
towards evening. when thas snow was steep
ed in pink. and we passed the canoes OF the
lovely COURT, the most beautiful tribe OF
the Caucasus, and heard them chant their
evening hymn, it was not wonderful that
thought my horse must have stepped over
the precipice and sent me from sleep to fairy
land. And yet no one comes here :" Titfiis,
he prophesies, will become the most fashion
able tourist headquarters in the .'world. ~

Wade Hampton on the Freedmen.

There is State Fair now in progress at
Macon, GA, and it appears to be attended
with considerable success. The agriculture
al and labor interests of the State are large
" represented there, and they are not merely
cOnfincd 70 Georgia. but extend over all the
southern States. Many of these fairs have
been held of late, aud the effect has been
generally good, predicting a large i'm
proved condition of the whole South. and
showing the advance made in material pro-
gress since the disastrous times of the civil
war. Gen. Hampton, who has frequently
exhibited his wise appreciation Ofthe exist
ing condition of things, and has given many
sansi Die ideas concerning the new relations
between the North and the South, expressed
himself with some force on the question OF
treating the freedmen for the mutual bene-
fit of that class and of the Southern States
also. He urged the necessity of cultiVating
a patriaTchal and friendly feeling with the
colOred freedmen and the improvement of
their moral and intellectual status. This is
what the South requires. The Southern
people know that the freedmen are there
among them; that they are there by law es-
taOlished. either as an incubus to be carried
on the shoulders of Southern industry. or
an element 10 be employed for its benefit.
Wade Hampton evidently sees the matter in
this light, and he advises his people well
upon this subject. The South is gradually
relieving itself from the effects of the late
war, and perhaps there are no means which
it can employ better calculated TO assist the
issue than the jud.ciOus use of the negro el
ment as suggested by Wade HamptOn.-N.

[ COMMUNICATED
Obituary.

Died on the 9th November, 1863. at the res
idence of Mrs McQuill, grandmother of the
deceased) MAGGIE McGowES, wife Of Henry
Ii. McGowen, of Madison county.
A few weeks ago the bridal wreath crowned
her youthful brow. Yesterday the flowers
were chilled by the cold finger Of death---and
they faded, and became garlands for the tomb.
The bridal robe funeral pall---and lips and
eyes that beamed with animation, and that
wore the semblance of health--became inani-
mate---she passed away az the summer rose
before the breath of Autumn.
She had only arrived at the age Of twenty
two---yet she had learned the great lesson OF
life, viz to live only 10 be beloved, and To die
to be regretted. Her virtues were many, they
are inscribed on the book of life--heT goodness
was great---and will live in the hearts of those
who knew her. When the summons came for
her appearance at the great tribunal her soul
went forth without a struggle, and winged it's
flight for happier realm, the smile never IA
ded from the chsseled features---sO willing
that even death returned abashed OF his yictot
~.
The lover of four years, and the husband Of
a few days, saw the cup of joy pass FROM his
lips Lightly may the Autumn leaves fall
upon the consecrsted spot, and may spring
with her smiles scatter flowers over the grave
of the young wife, now the bride OF Death

less esteemed when at the pillow
than when holding the reins OF
empire. We wish Mr. Davis restored health
vgnr and long life. And when. in tho in
evitable future. he SHALL In the minds OF the
whole mass OF his country men. be restored
TO that esteem and honor which dwells ia
the bosoms of his own loved South, and
which his eminent services and his true pa
triotism and love of Constitutional liberty
have so well deserved, and the country shall
gam need the services of her most distin-
guished sons, whether in peace or war. We
trust he may again be returned TO some po-
sitiun of more extended public influence ano
