. AVE- DYING. raYpr. DYING !,

The letter Of our Louisville cor
respondent, written on board the
steamer, General Lytle, will be
found Of more than ordinary inter-
est. The name of this steamer re-
calls one of the most chivalric and
pleasing incidents Of the late war
It was in one of the battles of the
West-which Of them our memory
does not supply-that General hob
ert FL. Lyle, member of the Gin
cinnati press, who had risen not only
from printer to editor, but from prl-
vate to general, was killed far in ad-
vance of his command, while gal
lantly leading an assault upon our
lines. His horse bore his corpse IN
to our lines, and the steed aud us
dead rider were both captured. 30
soon as it was known that the author
of that rare poem, as familiar and a.
greatly admired South as North, y
am Dying, Egypt, Dying" lay dead
in the camp, officers and men crowd
ed around to take last look in the
face of the poet soldier who had
achieved SO great literary tri'
umph. There was 40 rejoicing over
the death of this fallen enemy: bu
there was in truth something 81
each soldiers cheek that for the mo
ment washed away the stains Of pow
der. Tenderly they took him up
and when the battle vas over an es
cort Of honor, appointed from amooe
the leading Confederate officers
bore him back his own camp, un-
der flag of truce, on a rudely CON
strucied funeral bier, with his mar
tial cloak around him. In life he
had touched that chord of human
sympathy which makes all the
world kin--and in death lis harmon
ious vibrations silenced all resent
ment and thrilled the hearts alike OF
friends and foes with nobler pass
ion than hatred or revenge.--Rsch'

COMMENTING upon the setting
of the late Sun, Of Atlanta, the
Chronicle and Sentinel says all the
dead are not yet numbered and
adds:
"Papers are ceasing to be politi'
cal machines. Journalism is be-
coming as Legitimate business az
that Of dealers in drugs or dry goods
and requires first field and Their
capital, energy and industry to make
It q success. Without the employ
ment of these requisites, all efforts
will be futile, success be an impossi-
bility. Attempts may be made to
establish papers where the field is
fully occupied, but though they may
struggle along for while, and exc
out precarious existence, they
must eventually succumb to the in
evitable, and entail loss upon those
who make the dangerous expert
ment."

COTTON IN ALABAMA.

A correspondent of the Atlanta
Herald writing from 0pelika, Ala.
June 18th, says:
The cotton crop is smaller, per-
haps, in area than last year, but
much more fertilizers have been
used this year than last, but owing
to the exceeding wet season the cots
ton is small, and in many farms
much injured by the grass, and tho
general cry is, half crop cannot be
made this year. But | am aware
cotton is a weed, sun plant, and il
it is freed from grass, in due time
viii mske weed enough in July, and
fruit enough in August, to make a
full crop. Truly, while the geuer-
al cotton crop is small and grassy,
there is some highly fertilized patch

FAIR OF THE AMERICAN INsTI
TUTE.

This exhibition will open in New
York on the 10th Of September -
Heretofore the South has not been
represented and that very valuable
paper the N. Y. South appeals earn
estly to the Southern people in rep
resenting the Importance Of proper
show from this section. 1t saXA;
The New York show being, \ it
were, an index to the coun2y,
Western men have longlbecn alive to
the importance of having the West
duly represented, and last year vast
quantities of all that could be brought
to show what Of the earth's varied
produce the West could boast was
literally poured at the visitors feet.
Thus we see assertion OF the one
side and negation on the other, and
who can wonder at the result. 1t
would cost the South scarcely an OF
fort to cram this exhibition building
to Overlooking, if such a thing were
allowed, with stock of all kinds, diff
fering only 10 its superior excellence
from what the West has TO show,
and supplementary structure with
what the West can not show, Last
year the South might have exhibited
her cotton, raw and manufactured,
rice, sugar cane, tobacco, semi. trop-
zeal fruits, cereals, phosphatcs, gold,
diamonds, iron, coal, copper, pre-
served beef--one might go on emu
merating for hours and then have
made but an imperfect catalogue of
the contents of this great storehouse
Of the continent. Why is this cxhi
bition or something like it not
made? When will the Southern
people see that it is only making
their voices heard, and the merits of
their section known, that the bene>
fits of which the West is now taking
the lions share be apportioned more
in accordance with desert ! The
Southern people must, however, take
the initiative themselves. There is in
this exhibition, another opportunity
for the accomplishment ofsomething.
The South must not expect her pro-
ducts to be sent for /; she must send
them, and send the best. Most
earnestly it is to be hoped that this
year something will be done. aad
that when September reaches us
and the doors of the exhibition are
enclosed, while the West is again
emptying her Cornicupia before the
world, the treasures of the South
may not again be conspicuous by
their absence.

In the election of Judges by the
people, if there is pending public
question it will sometimes, but not
often, influence the choice of the
Judge. 1t will always do so, when
the Judge is appointed. 1t is diff

people on one side of a legal ques

A rERR1BLE SYSTEM.

We read an interesting account Of
the sssiIent system" which is in oper
alton at the Holloway Model Prison
IN London. 1t is an ofense for a
prisoner to speak one word, and he
is never addressed except in whis>
pers, SO that he may be in prison
two years without hearing the natur-
al sound of the human voice. The
effect of this is SO terrible on the
mind that prisoners will speak out in
desperation, at the risk Of any pun
ishment, rather than endure that
horrible silence. They never see
another, but remain in perpetual soil
tude. There is a fine hole in each
| cell. and as the wardens wear Indie
rubber soles they can never be sure
of being unmatched. Every day
the prisoners are taken to a chape
50 arranged that they can see M
one save the chaplain, and him on
Iy through an iron grating. Anc
| thus is the order Of devotion observ
ed. Wardens are constantly on thu
watch, lest for single instant they
through the whole Of the service
depart from the rigid rule of "eyel
| right" They must look steadfastly
at the preacher; must raise ane
lower their pray er-book with the Ell
bows squared, and all at once, like
soldiers at drill. They may not
scrape their feet without having af
terward to explain the movement
They scarcely wink an eye or sigh
without danger of rebuke or punish
ment. Would not lifetime Of this
frightful solitude be just punishment
for the murderer The axe and rope
lose half their horror when contrast
ed with it. The most hardened
criminal would shrink from commit
ting a crime of this nature were he
sure that life passed in prison
under the "silent system would be
his inevitable punishment, ending
only with death.

Editors Constitution Col. t. p.
SafoId, Of Madison, in conversation
with me few days since, in speak
ing of the agricultural interests Of
the State, said it was his impression
Cobb county had made since the
war, as great, ifnot the greatest pro
gress in an agricultural point Of view
Of any county in the State; that the
people had come nearer meeting the
requirements Of the times, Of the
present condition Of labor, and that
though her land was mostly poor,
her people had raised better crops
and had a better class Of stock than
any county he was familiar with.
In many respects ! felt the county
in which he resides Morgan was
entitled to first place, yet my many
| friends in Cobb made his generous
opinion pleasing, and now confess
that the facts which have been Civ
en- me to-day by IL. J. Harrison,
Esq, the careful tax receiver Of this
county, certainly gives good for Col.
SIS opinion.
He informed me that the in
creased value Of
THE TAXABLE PROPERTY,
of this county this year would be
largely in excess Of last year, and
greater than that of any other year
since the war-that it would amount
to about three millions. While he
could not give me the exact amount
for last year, but it was not far from
81, 400, 900.

A Sharks Jaws.

Perhaps one of the most formidable
weapon possessed by any fish is the
natural and terrible pair OF shears form
ed by the Jaws of the shark. The only
parallel weapons of oflense that can be
cited as used by man would perhaps be
the spiked portcullis, but the future
may present us with steam shears. with
blades ten feet long, and intended to
receive cavalry-who knows? There is
no telling where the ingenuity of modern
inventors in the destructive line NAV
lead us. But there are not many instru
ments so efficient for their purpose rs
the tooth of a shark. 1t is difficult to
handle one freel y without cutting ones
fingers and when we consider the ire
mendous leverage of sharks Jaws en-
ployed against each other like scissors.
armed with rows of lancets, it is evident
that nothing in the shape of flesh, girls
tie, or bone, could withstand them.
Their capacity, too, is equal to
thelr powers, for pair of jaws taken
from shark of not more than nine
feet long has been known tobe pass
ed down over the shoulders and BODY !
OF man SIX feet high without incon- |
Nehlehce. LII was thought to be an net |
OF very unusual strength and dexteritv
on the part of Emperor Commodus to
cut a man in two at one blow, but the
jaws of the white shark find no difficulty
IN executing that feat. The
vast number of teeth contained in n
sharks jaw has been accounted for bv
some writers on the hypothesis that
they are erected when the shark seizes
ITS prey, mt all other times living fat on
their sides. 1t is now, however. more
admitted that the shark only
employs the outer row of teeth, and
that the inner ones are a provision of
nature against an accident which is, and
must be, very common one when the
mplemei 'sare considered, and the force
with which they are employed-namely,
he breaking of tooth. In this case
'he corresponding tooth on the inside
becomes erect, and is by degrees pushed
Onward into the place of the broken
'ne-a wondrous and very necessary
to keep so delicate and pow
'rful an apparatus rs the sharks Jaw
always in order.
