Senator Cbristiancy of Michigan thus con-
cludes his letter to the managers ofthe Georgia
State Fair, who had asked his attendance :
after the terrible conflict through which the
Nation has passed, the noblest aud hottest mis-
sion of every patriot is to heal the wounds in
ficted. to calm the troubled sea of hate, too
long mingled with tratricidal blood to promote
harmony and reconciliation among the people
ofal sections till the bitterness of the past
conflict shall be forgotten, OF remembered only
to make US 6rmer friends for the future; till we
shall come to realize that We are all brothers of
the same great family, each equally interested
in the welfare of all, and all abiding a common
destiny. He who shall do most to hasten the
realization of such result will deserve best of
his country and of mankind"

GRANDFATHER.

Grandtather sits by the open door,
And around his feet the sui beams play,
While his scant gray locks are gently stirred
By the breath of the mild October day.
His gaze is turned toward the distant hills,
Where thetrees are yellow and green and gold,
And they seem to say to the Old mans heart,
See! we grow lovely as we grow old ~
Over the landscape far and near
Grandfather locks with tear. dimmed ewes.
For on the meadow, as on the hills,
The shadow Of summers slow death lies.
But over it all, with restsul calm,
I here fingers dreamful, tender haze,
And the breeze Is fragrant with stolen sweets
In memoriam oft.e summer days.
Grandfather thinks of the years gone by
he spring time irst of his merry youth,
And then the summer Of III :nhooG's Joys,
w hen his heartgreW warm with love and truth
Alas! he murmurs, that time has passed,
ana wlAter comes for the year and me;
VINO knows, SIS the chill of age creeps on,
How lovely | in my death Shall be!'
Grandfather lies on The hillside brown
Lies at rest-and the setting sun
Kisses the spot where loving hands
Laid him down when his life was done
And over the meadow, over the hills,
The breeze goes sobbing the liyelong dsy
For the tar sweet summer whose life went out
WIN the shadow OF winter chill and gray

FGGrrlNG FOR AN EEL. "A fight between
two eagles occurred at Masouboro Sound
few days ago. \ large number of persons were
on the different landings along the sound at the
time, when their attention was attracted to the
combatants by piercing cry, often repeated
at short intervals. The birds were each of the
bald eagle species, and whcU first observed were
about two hundred yards above the banks chan

One # the birds held pendant from his ia

cndcaVorlng TO gain possession Of The bird
possessing the eel was taken at great dsar-
vantage, as it required the use Of his talouS to
hold his prey, which left him but his beak with
which TO ward off the assaults of his foe.
The attacking bird, ealzlug his advantage,
sWooped upon his enemy, tearing the feathers
and flesh trom the back and breast of his oppo.
nen. Long and ii rec the struggle waved.

TOO MUCH COTTON.

The mania for planting cotton to
the exclusion of breadstuffs has seized
upon the farmers Of North Georgis
equally as strong as it has upon the
planters of Lower and Middle Geor-
gia, and its bad effects are almost,
1 equally marked To day corn is
selling in Whitfield county for s / per
busheI. Three years ago at this
time it was difficult to sell it at so
cents. Three years ago pork sold at
4 to 5 cents, and it was very scarce.
What will be the result of this suici
dial courseY In five years from to
day four-ffths Of the farmers of North
Georgia will be bankrupt, as they
now are in Middle and South Georgia
Will our farmers never learn the
great success in farming, viz: that
of planting diversified crops 7 Plant
wheat, rye, oats, corn, potatoes, peas,
and if any land left after planting
enough for all ordinary contingeE-
cies, then the balance in cotton.
With remarkable poor crops of cot
ton for three successive years over
100000 bales more have been
raised than is necessary for consump-
ton, and consequently prices have
ranged so low as to be barely remu-
nerative. Suppose a good year and
full crop made, cotton would go
down to seven or five cents, and
every planter would lose his all in the
venture. But if all necessary pro-
visions were made for the mainten-
ance of his family, and cotton plant
ed as an extra, then in no contin-
gency could it affect him materially.
We are glad to see the State Agri-
cultural Society aud the Commission
ers Of Agriculture, advising and i'm
pressing upon the planting interest
the absolute necessity OF not putting
more than one-third of their crop in
cotton.
The Commissioner of Agriculture
says: "A careful inquiry made by
this department has failed to find a
single farmer, who has always raised
his supplies, who is not out of debt
and in easy. if not ia thrifty circum,
stances. On the other hand the
same careful inquiry has failed to
find a single farmer who pursued a
different policy, who is not more or
less embarrassed, frequently, to a
serious extent" Therefore, we would
urgently request our farmers to stop
aud think before they take step
that will involve them, and all others
dependent upon them in financial
ruin.-Dalt0H Citizen.

A TRICK OF CAPITALISTS.

The Nashville Union says the
wealthy men ofNewark, N. j., have
been detected in clever ruse for
evading taxation, by which the city
treasury has been cheated out of
over four million dollars. On the
day before assessment, Mr.. Dives
has his note for $4,000 or such
matter, discounted for thirty days /;
the amount is placed to his credit,
but to avoid the tax on deposits he
orders il to be converted into United
States bonds. Thus there is no de-
post to tax, and the bonds are not
taxable. Meanwhile, in returning
his other property for assessment he
deducts $4,000 for the discounted
note, as being debt he owes the
bank. After assessment day he lifts
the note by selling the bonds. The
next result Of the transaction is that
Mr.. Dives escapes taxation on 500,
600 of his property The grand
jury of the county in which Newark
is situated presented these facts and
stated that this practice has become
an inveterate habit with bank presi-
dents, directors and other men 81
means. Jersey law seems powerless
to reach the shrkers, and the jury
could do no more than expose the
facts.

HENRY CLAY one said: 81 pray
God in His goodness to send wars,
pestilence aud famine, any scourge
for the sins of the people other than
a military chief for ruler and
wild reckless enthusiasm for mill
tary glory"
The great commoner of the West
was bitterly denounced for that
speech, says the Savannah News, by
thousands Of honest patriots in his
day, who, had they lived in these
times Of military usurPation and
outrage in support of Radical mis-
rule and corruption, would, with all
their hearts, have shouted their en-
dorsement Of the sentiment. His
warning voice was unheeded, but
sad experience has demonstrated the
danger which he foresaw. With
their present experience tho people
of the United States will prove their
utter unftness for self government,
if they do not put their irrevocablc
veto on military Presidents.
