and expenses and commissions not to exceed
25 per cent. In June, 1868, contract was
made between Schmoele and Fremont, by
which the latter was to be equally interested
with the former throughout
The allegations of the bill being strongly
supported by afidavits, and notice being ac-
knowledged by the attorney Of the company as
well as by Gen. Fremont, Judge Bradley gran
ted the injunction and appointed receiver as
requested. He appointed John A. @. Gray as
the receiver. and required him to give bonds in
the sum of 0,0O0.
The above facts have been CLEANED in good
measure from an inspection Of the proceedings,
which were ordered to be filed in the United
States Clerks Office at Tyler, in Texas, where
they now are.
Meantime, we understand that Mr.. Parker
the counsel, and Mr.. Gray the receiver, have
gone to Paris, probably with view to con-
ference with the bondholders. Under this
state of affairs it may be problem worthy,
though difficult, of solution, in whose interest
the recent legislation in Texas is being made,
whether in the interest of the original compa-
ny, which is now represented, it seems, by
Schmoele, Fremont and Epperson, or in that
of the Paris bondholders, who so freely took
the bait and advanced three millions of dol
lars in specie on the representations made in a
paper prospectus.

AGRICULTURAL PRIzEs.-dr. j. n. Robson,
merchant of this city, who deals extensively
in fertilizers, in order to test the effect of the
different guanos and fertilizers for which he is
agent, proposes to give prizes to those who use
them, who will be able to show at the forth
coming Agricultural Fair, the best results of
their use ON cotton and corn crops. At the
jewelry establishment of James Allen, King
street, we saw yesterday drawings of the differ
cnt prizes, six in number, that are to be offered.
The first prize for the greatest yield of cotton on
one acre, manured with Soluble Pacific Guano
or Compound Acid Phosphate, for the year 1870,
will be good size Silver Pitcher.
The second prize, for the next best yield of
cotton on the same area, Silver Goblet.
The third prize, for the third best yield OF
cotton on the same area a Silver Cup
The first prize for the greatest yield of corn
from the use of the same fertlizing agents, on
the same extent of surface, will be Silver
Goblet
The second prize for the next best yield of
corn on the same surface, with the same agents,
Silver Cup.
The third prize for the third best yield of
corn, on the same surface, with the same ma
nures, q Gold Medal.
The pitcher, goblets, cups and medal, are OF
modern style and ornamentation, and richly
embossed with cotton bolls and cereal emblems,
and will each bear on the shields and on the
medal, the inscription:
Presented by J. N. Robson, through the
State Agricultural Society, for the bestyields Of
corn and cotton, las above described, on which
the valuable Pacific Guano and the Compound
Acid Phosphate have been used"
Mr. Robson, with characteristic energy and
enterprise, has offered these elegant and costly
premiums, with view of stimulating effort on
the part Of the agriculturists, to put to a thor
ough test the capacity of the given area of land,
properly cultivated with fcrtilizing agents. All
planters who wish to compete for them, will
forward carefully prepared exhibits so that
they may be exposed at the State fair in \ No
yember next, where and when decision vii be
rendered. Charleston Courier.

A RARE OLD TowN.-Some years ago q
Methodist minister named - occupied the
pulpit of that denomination in Hagerstown,
Md, and throughout the Conference year took
frequent occasion to berate his flock. In con-
sequence of these repeated attacks goodly
number of the brethren severed their connec-
ton with the church, determined not to return
until the parson should be transferred to some
other field of labor. 1t finally became known
that the irrascible - was to preach his
farewell sermon, md scores who had been
scored by his caustlc structures thinking that he
would say something in his valedictory to atone
for the severity of his language towards them,
turned out to hear. For half an hour he con-
fined himself to an elucidation of his text, and
then alluded to his separation from them. Said
he: "There are some decent peoplein Hagers-
town, and some mean oncs yes, some who are
mean enough to steal the cross of Christ for
fre-wood and sell His clothes for rags There
are men before me who have grown gray in the
cause of the devil; whose hearts are hard
enough to build turnpike between Hagcrs-
town and hell and believe that there's lust
that spirit at work here that will see the enter
prise put throughp' An Irishman at the rear
end Of the meeting house, no doubt indignant
at the parsons remarks, bawled out: "And
wouldn't ye, old man, be willing to be toll-gate
keeper on that road?"

stonewan Jackson Memorial Association.
AN APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC.


The admirers of the exalted virtues of the
late Lieutenant General 7. j. Jackson are now
endeavoring to raise the requisite funds to erect
suitable Memorial to this great and good man.
For this purpose agencies are now being en-
ployed by the formation of auxiliary Memorial
Associations in the several States, through
which contributions are solicited in aid of the
noble work.
The scheme contemplates the erection of a
Memorial Chapel at the Virginia Military In
stitute, Lexington, Va, with which institution
General Jackson was connected fourteen years
as Professor, and near to which his remains
now lie. 1t is believed that such Memorial
would be most in harmony with the character
of this renowned Christian here.
1t is proposed to place within this Memorial
Chapel Statue, in bronze or marble, to trans
NIT to coming generations the features, form and
expression of one whose name and virtues are
alike known and honored throughout the civil
lized world, and who was a bright exemplar of
whatever was true and noble and of good re-
port among men.
1t is estimated that $4,000 will be required
for these purposes We invoke contributions
tribute to the memory of Stonewall Jackson.
No local or sectional views restrict the
scheme 1t is national in its design. The
North has cordially responded to the appeal.
The East and the West are moving in it, while
the followers of Jackson in the field and on the
march throughout the South are sending for
ward their tributes to the memory oftheir noble
Chieftain.
The funds, as they are collected, may be
forwarded by check or by express, to the un-
dersigned, Lexington, Virginia, who as Presi-
dent of the Board of Visitors of the Virginia
Military Institute, has been designated by the
Central Memorial Association in Pennsylvania
as Treasurer of the Memorial Fund.

A new method. it is reportcd. has rec

"A new method, it is reported, has recently
been devised for ascertaining accurately the
fate of every soldier killed in action. The
system has been introduced in Prussia, and un-
der it every soldier is to carry his name, COM
pany, regiment, &C., on piece of parchment,
which is to be attached to his uniform when
going into action. The parchments will be
collected from the dead who arc inferred on the
battle field, and the enemy will also be request
ed to collect and return the slips by flag of
truce.
- indianapolis is infested with highway ROB-
bers, but a brave girl there recently outwitted
one of them She was returning home about
dusk, alone in buggy She drove along leis-
urely, her horse dropping his head in content
ed way. All at once man jumped out from q
corn-feld near by and took her horse by the
head. She looked at him in surprise. II
would like to ride with you, miss" J" he said to
her. "Most anybody would" she replied, sur
veying HIM steadily. Taking the presence of
mind for consent, he dropped the bride rein
and took a step towards the buggy. That in
slant, the brave girl touched her horse with the
face, and before he could recover himself he
was thrown down by the wheels of the buggy,
which, with its intended victim, was soon out
of sight
Whatever else you abuse, never abuse n
woman. Always remember you had mother ;
perhaps you have a sister, maybe wife. 1t is
cowardly, mean, unjust. If any act deserves
the pillory, it is this. The fact of her sex
should make her exempt from all that is coarse,
unkind or cruel. No genuine man ever yet
abused woman. AS soon expect to sec dart
of lightning in the blue sky of June, rose in
the snow bank of January, a gift from miser,
a great act from a mean SOUL as a real man
abusing woman.

school teacher of young scholar. The little

We don't vouch for the following, which
we find in an exchange: "By singular coinci-
dence pair of egg merchants at Independence,
Iowa, last week, unintentionally became poul-
terers on large scale. The porter suddenly
heard noise in the store-room, where there
were $4,000 dozen of eggs packed away, pre-
paratory to being shipped East, and on going to
see what was the matter, found 72O, 900 chickens
running about the floor. They had been hatched
by the heat"
"A lawyer built him an Office in the form
of a hexagon, or six square. The novelty Of
the structure attracted the attention of some
Irishmen- who were passing by; and they made
full stop to view it critically. The lawyer,
somewhat disgusted at their curiosity, lifted up
the window, put his head out and addressed
them: "What do you stand there gazing at my
Office for-do you think it's church ?" "Faix, u

Poetry.



In the quiel nursery chambers,
Snowy pillows yet uu pressed,
Sc he oinis of little CHILDREN
knee'ing, white -robed, for their rest.
All in quiet nursery chambers,
While the dusky shadows creep,
Hear the voices OF the children
snow lay me down 10 sleep"
In the adOw and the mountain
Calmly shines the winter stars.
But aei oss he gli,teuing lowlands
Slams the moOnlight's silver bars.
In he silence and the darkness,
Darkness growing still more deep,
Listen 10 The little children
Praying God their souls to keep.
Give die'--so pray the children,
Aud the mothers head droops oW
zone from out her fold is sleeping
Deep teneath the winters snow
'sTake our souls - and past the easement
Fits CLEAN Of crystal light,
Like the trailing oil his garments,
Walking eyermOre in white.
Little souls that stand expectant,
Listening at the gates OF lie,
Hsaling tar away the murmur
OF he tumult and the strife.
We who right beneath the banners.
Meeting ranks of foemen there,
Find d. epeT, broader meaning
In your simple vesper prayer.
When your hands shall grasp this standard
Which to-day you watch from iar,
When your deeds shall shape the conflict
In this universal war
Fray to aim, the God OF battles,
Whose strong eyes can never sleep,
In the warning OF temptation,
hirm and and true your souls 10 keep.
When the combat ends, and slowly
Clears the smoke from out the skies,
When. far down the purple distance
All the noise of battle dies;
When the last nights solemn shadow
Settles down Oh you and ME,
Make the love that never laleih
lake our souls eternally.
