Better 60 alone than in bad company
| A character is a perfectly formed Will
| Better go round than fall into ditch
Constant occupation prevents tempta
ton.
| Whoever is unchaste cannot reverence
himself.
An honest heart makes an open coun
tcnance.
The best lessons man ever learns ar,
| his mistakes.
Man begins with God when he gets to
the end of himself
Speak well of your friends, of your
enemies say nothing.
lfyou would know the value of dol
lar try to borrow one.
Give foolish talker rope enough and
be will hang himself.
Most men give advice by the bucket,
but take it by the grain.
An hour of triumph comes at last to
those who watch and wait.
Our acts make US or mar us-we are
the children Of our own deeds.
There is no false religion which does
not contain some elements of truth.
We can do more good by being good
than in anyother way.-Rowland Hill.
A good word is an easy obligation, but
not to speak i'll requires only silence,
that costs US nothing.
Talent, alone, is only the rough metal;
it is diligent industry which works it, and
asceItains its value.
Take care ofyour thoughts, for they
lead to words and acts-just as brooks
lead to rivers, and rivers to the ocean.
Foul hearts alone harbor faul suspic-
ions, and fancy others to be what they
know they might become themselves.
People never plot any real mischief
when they are happy. Laughter is an
enemy to malice, a foe to scandal, and
friend to mankind.
Henry Ward Beecher once used the
expression; True, dress does not make
the man; but when he is made. he looks
better dressed up"
The only way to make the mass of man
kind see the beauty of justice, is by
showing them, in pretty plain terms, the
consequence of injustice.
A person who undertakes to raise
himselfb by scandalizing others, might just
as well sit down on a wheel barrow and
undertake to wheel himself.
Pride is the friend of tho fatterer,
the mother of envy, the nurse of fury,
the sin Of devils; and it hates superiors,
scorns interiors, and owes no equal.
Laziness grows on people; it begins in
cobwebs, and ends in iron chains. The
more business man has to do the more
he is able to accomplish, for he learns
to economist his time.

An Ex.Rebel Soldiers Letter.

Hon. Joseph G. Baum, who was Lieu
tenant Colonel of the Eighth Louisiana
Volunteers, and has been long prominent
Democratic politician in the Crescent City,
says in a private letter to relative in Cali
fornia: "The Fourth district reechoes to
the name of Grant, and why? Because
he is a friend to the South.
"We remember him as the magnanimous
soldier who in victory forbade pomp; who
ordered that our soldiers should not be
humiliated;' shared with them his rations;
ordered that they should retain their side
arms which they had so dearly won; that
they should take with them their horses,
that they might be enabled to till their har-
vest.
"These things are not to be forgotten by
the Confederate soldiers. Untold numbers
who wore the gray and were so lately en-
francLised through his magnanimity, will
not forget it at the ballot-box. The Demo-
cratic party, in placing Horace Greeley, the
arch enemy of the South, as its standard
bearer, has coMmitted political suicide.
Grant will poll large share of the ex-Con-
federate soldiers vote. The Democrat
ic leaders in selling our party will fail in
selling our votes, souls and sacred honers.
therefore answer you that | am for Grant
with my vote, voice and influence, believ-
ing az / do that am right, and in so doing
am true friend to my native State and
land. Shall vote for the man who cries
for peace, and who, in the discharge of his
duty, demands that peace shall prevail on
every inch of American soil.' Louisiana
is sure for Grant"

LOCAL MATTERS.

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST OLD
JOHN RoBINsoN's CIRCUS MEN.-Our
readers will remember that we reported a
few days ago that the dead body Of VIM.
j. Davenport, formerly railroad agent at
keysville depot on the Richmond and Dam
vile railroad, had been found near brakes
Branch, Charlotte county. He had been
shot three times--twice near the left eye
and once in the left side near the heart.
There was also cut in his right ear several
inches deep which seemed to have been
made with dirk. The reports of the
weapon were heard between nine and ten
O'Clock on the night of the 4th, just as John
Robinson's circus train was moving away.
1t was rumored here Yesterday that several
men connected with the circus, who are
charged with the killing of Davenport, had
taken refuge in this city.
One of our Amelia Courthouse cores
pondents informs us that on the 3rd inst,
after the exhibition of Robinson's circus, a
colored man, whose name is not mentioned,
was shot twice in the thigh by some of the
employees of the circus. Two other shots
passed through his hat. The colored man
had engaged to do some work for the circus,
aud some trivial accident in taking down
the tents was the only provocation for the
shooting. DR.. Adams probed the wounds
of the unfortunate man. but failed to find
the balls.
1t is to be hoped that the cut-throats
who perpetrated these hellish deeds, wheth-
err they belong to the circus OF not, will
soon be apprehended and brought to merit
ed punishment.

The Norfolk Day Book says: "Col.
Goodwin, the Greeley Presidential Elector
for this district, violated all sense of pro-
priety and decency, Monday, by repeating
bawdy and shamefully indecent story, in
the presence of some colored ladies. And
the worst of it is not yet told; the chiyalry
of Isle of Wight encouraged him by crying,
'sgo ahead damn the Niger women, they
have no business here anyhow"
The Petersburg Mder says the cleo
tons on Tuesday show that ''thc Liberal
cause has not the people of the North on its

A correspondent of the STATE JOUR-
NAL, writing from Bells Cross Roads,
Louisa county, says: "Our farmers gene
rally, are very much disheartened at their
years operations. Few of US will be able
to make buckle and tongue meet. Just in
this immediate neighborhood we did not
have rain enough at any one time to tho
roughly saturate clod as large as mans
fist, from the time we planted our corn un-
til it was too late to do it any good. Just
out of the neighbour BOD some few were
blessed with showers just at the right time,
and consequently have fair crops. Showers
were more partial this year than | ever
knew them before. The weather man
seemed to have forgotten that the Lord of
the harvest had promised to /" send rain on
the unjust as well as the just" Many of
our old fields will burn just now nearly as
well as they would have done last spring.
No surplus grain in the country. All the
provender of last year was exhausted last
spring, hence, food for stock will be ex-
ceedingly scarce, and almost impossible to
be had. Our farmers will have to dispose
of all their surplus stock, as they have al
ready began to do. Considerable prepare
tons has been made for sowing wheat this
fall, and l apprehend much larger crop
will be sown than usual.o

The Outlook in Missouri.

A dispatch from st. Louis on Tuesday
night SAYS: Intense excitement prevails
over the news from Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Indiana.
Henry Wilson, who arrived to-day,
made congratulatory speech both at the
Democrat and Globe offices tonight, and
was received with the utmost enthusiasm.
lie will have tremendous audience to.
morrow night, when he will speak on the
issues of the day.
The canvass in Missouri is frightening
daily. Great crowds flock to hear Iender-
SON and other Republican speakers, while
the Democratic meetings as rule are
slimly attended and devoid Of enthusiasm.
There, is no doubt but that large numbers
will vote for Grant and the Republican
State ticket, and with proper work carry
the State in November.
The Republican candidates nominated for
Congress in the three districts Of this
county are nnexceptionable men, and two
of them are sure of election. This may
also be said of nearly all other districts in
the State, and there is no doubt whatever
that the Missouri delegation in the next
Congress will be largely increased over
that of the last.

Letter from Chari es OConor.

Ne,0 lork, October 9.-The Hrald's
Richmond correspondent says:
Charles O'Conor, in reply to letter sd-
dressed to him by Hon. James Lyons,
president of the Louisville Convention, in
curing whether he would give assurance
that he would serve il elected, and if it
was true that he said Greeley was a man
of transcendent ability, wrote the follow
ing letter:
Netc York, September 30.-My Dear
sir: If | have said or written anything
differing in the slightest degree from what
is contained in my two published commu-
nications-one to the Louisville Conven-
ton, and the other to the committee
possess no power of language which would
enable me to speak more plainly on any of
the subjects therein treated of. 1t may be
true, as you suggest, that people will not
vote for any man who will not announce in
a public manner that if elected, he will
serve them. Ii so, they will never vote
for me. | should regard such announce
ment as one mode of soliciting their sup.
port.
If the Southern people did not know be-
fore l said anything on the subject that one
OF the candidates is man of transcendant
ability, they are singularly slow of appre-
hension. The desolation of which they
complain is attributable to him. The long
and disastrous war that filled his "bloody
chasm" with fraticdal slaughter and in
volved the whole country in debt and demon
alization is due to the :" unequalled energy,
combined with the folly of this one exceed
ingly able, exceedingly amiable, and exceed
ingly mischievous man."
| regard the possibility of his election
with inexpressible aversion. If the ideas
of heather times prevailed, | would cheer
fully surrender my person as a sacrifice on
the altar of that deity whose controlling Of
events might thus be propitiated, and in
duced to save my country from impending
danger. do not write this letter for pub
LEGATION. With unchanged and unchanged.
BILE friendship, respect and esteem, | re-
main, my dear sir, yours truly,

New disease in the Connecticut Tobacco.
From the Hartford Post, Sept. 1871

lEipiii phe i1hitiotu ootb ocpt io'l
The farmers in some part of the county
are complaining of kind of rot which
seems to have affected their tobacco crops
after having been gathered into the drying
houses but few days. In Simsbury, and
other parts of the Pennington Valley, ac-
counts are reported of serious damage of
this nature, which will undoubtedly greatly
impair the prospects of the tobacco-growers
in realizing fair income from that source.
The disease is entirely new, as regards the
locality named, at least, and the cause is
not yet apparent.
The rot consists of an unnatural and
sickly coloring of the leaves soon after be-
ing hung, which commences near the base
of the stems, and which it so far affects as
cause the entire leaf to drop off at the
least touch. A very large crop Of tobacco
has been grown this season throughout the
Connecticut and Pennington valleys, stimu-
lated by the high prices grown last year.
1t is to be hoped that this new trouble may
not prevail to any great extent, which may
impair the growing reputation of the arti-
Gle produced by our farmers throughout
the sections named.

Horace Greeley in baltimore.

baltimore, October 9.-Horace Greeley
arrived here at 8:45 this evening. He
was met at the depot by Georges Brown,
president of the Maryland Agricultural
and Mechanical Society, and driven at
once to the residence of Mr.. Brown, whose
guest he will be until tomorrow.
His arrival was known only to Mr.. Brown
and one or two friends, and, in respect to
Mr.. Greeley's wishes, no public reception
was rendered him. As before stated, he
will deliver the address at the fourth annual
Fair of the Maryland Agricultural and Me-
ehanical Society tomorrow noon, and re-
view the grand torchlight procession in the
evening.
