Farrrnq that Pays.

According to the Nashville Amer
can, Middle Tennessee farmers have
made great deal of money on their
Irish potato crop this year. Messrs.
William and Ewing Calender, two
young farmers living in Sumner
county, near Hendersonville, have
already made a clear profit OF &c.
600 on their first and second crops.
The second crop is just gathered,
but though fine it will not bring as
good a price as the former. Mr..
Hynes, living in the same neigh
borhood, made over $4,000. Thus
il will be seen that farming does pay
sometimes.

THE Nashville Banner has be-
come quite a readable paper since
It quit talking about Mr.. Fussell
and the "sky blues" Its excellent
editorials are all on more important
subjects now. For instance, "a
word to wise married folks !" "Ba-

are much more appropriate and in
teresting subjects than the dead
Past" &c; and are much more IN
unison with the sentiment OF the

A GEORGIA VOLUNTEER.
RY xARIFI

Far up the lonely mountain side,
My wandering footsteps led;
The moss lay beneath my feet
The pine sighed overhead.
The trace of q dismantled fort
Lay in the forest nave,
And in the shadow near my path
saw soldiers grave.
The bramble wrestled with the weed
Upon the lowly mound,
The simple head board, rudely writ,
Had rotted to the ground;
I raised it with a reverent hand,
From dust its words to clear,
But Time had rotted all but these
"a Georgia Votttnteertn
I saw the toad and scaly snake
From tangled covertS start,
And hide themselves among the weeds
Above the dead mans heart;
But undisturbed in sleep profound.
Unheeding there he lay
His coffin but the mountain soil,
His shroud, Confederate gray.
heard the Shenandoah roll
Along the vale below,
1 saw the Alleghanies rise,
Towards the realms of snow.
The VALLEY campaign rose to mind
Its leaders name-and then,
/ knew the sleeper had been one
OF Stonewall Jackson'S men.
Yet whence he came, what lip shall say,
What tongue will ever tell,
What deSolate hearths and hearts
Have been because he fell?
What sad-eyed maiden braids her hair?
Her hair which he held dear;
One lock of which, perchance, lies with
The Georgia Volunteer.
What mother, with long-watching eyes
And white lips cold and dumb,
Waits, with appalling patience, for
Her darling boy to come?
Her boy. whose mountain grave Sweils mp
But one of many q scar
Cut on the face of our fair land,
BY gory-handed war
What fights he fought, what wounds he wor'
Are all unknown to fame;
Remember, on his lonely grave
There is not cen name!
That he fought well, and lTavely too,
And held his country dear,
We know-eise had he never been
"a Georgia volunteer"
He sleeps-what need we question now,
If he were wrong or right,
He knows, e'er this, whose cause was just
In God, the Fathers sight.
He weilds no warlike weapons now,
Returns no foeman's thrust
Who, but coward, would revIle
An honest soldiers dust?
Roll, Shenandoah, proudly roll,
Adown thy rocky. glen;
Above thee lies the grave of one
OF Stonewal Jackson's men!
Beneath the cedar and the pine,
In solitude austere,
Unknown, unnamed, forgotten lies,
"a Georgia VoLttnteer!'

DISSEMINATION IN Frefghts.
PuIaski Citizen.

A long suffering public will brook
no longer the vile and oppressive
wrongs heaped upon it by the rail-
reads. We have held our peace
thus long but our wrongs at last
burst their bonds and cry aloud for
redress. In shipping our newspa-
per from Cincinnati the agent OF
this huge, towering monopoly in
variably guarantees that the freight
rate shall not exceed 6S cents, and
| we hold his bill of lading as evil
dence of the contract, but when it
gets here another of the mercenary
underlings brings in the freight bill
and we are astounded to find that
although we have a lawfully execu-
ted guarantee of 6S cents, they eX-
act from us and we are compelled to
pay 55 cents. Why this reduction
of 13 cents? We demand to know !!
These soulless corporations cannot
penetrate such staggering assault
upon the thick bosses of our bank
account and hope to escape. And
we are informed that we are not the
only victim. 1t is fact that per-
haps the learned persuer of this pae-
agraph dashed off with borrowed
pencil and immense loss of brain
power never thought of it, that If
an unoffending citizen dares to ride
in his carriage over a turnpike ne
paws toll at the rate of 4 cents
mile, and has the privilege of fur
nishing his own vehicle; and yet
when this same u. C. gets on one of
the gIIilt-edge palace cars that be-
long to these usurping cormOrants
he is not allowed to pay but 8 cents
a mile, with lights, fuel and running
gear found and no questions asked.
A man can walk for less than that
and carry his own trunk. How 1t
frets a drummer to have his 900
pound mansard roof trunk hauled
half mile to the depot by an ex-
pressman for the pitiful sum OF 20
cents, and then have the miserable
agent, from laziness, let his baggage
run through to Montgomery with
out ''excess" while he rides on a
two-cent rate! These things must
be tinkered by the legislature.
Well never rest until these million
aire gougers are forced to throw in
chrome. We warn them! A
stitch in time saves two birds in the
bush. A word to the wise is the
thief of time. Have a care, or the
aroused lion will haul its freight
through on slide.

We ARE NOT MISSED.

If you and
To-day should die,
The birds would sing the same tomorrow.
The vernal Spring
The flowers would bring,
And few would think of US with sorrow.
Yes, he is dead,
Would then be said,
The corn would floss, the gray grass hay,
The cattle love-
And Summer go,
And few would heed US pass away.
How soon we pass!
How few, alas!
Remember those who turn TO mould;
Whose faces fade
With Autumns shade
Beneath the sodden churchyard cold,
Yes, it is So
We come and go!
They hail our birth, they mourn us dead
A day or more,
The Winter DER,
Another takes our place instead.

English Newspaper Morality.


Every one can name English
newspapers which, whatever their
minor errors in taste or discretion,
do diligently strive to observe IN
no material respect less strict than
that which a gentleman sets, or
should set, before himself in the
intercourse of private life. That
they never on any occasion fall be-
fore their own adopted standard it
would be too much to say. The
immensely greater difficulty of the
conditions, as compared with those
of private life, under which they
are called upon to practice the Vlr-
tues that they strive after is enough
in itself to excuse a certain percen-
tage of failures. 1t is not to be eX-
pected that mans duty toward
his neighbor should be unerringly
performed when "his neighbor"
is literally the whole world. The
mere numericials probabilities OF
shortcomings are thereby indefinite
increased, and Shortcomings, of by
course, there are. But the point is
! that with English prints of the kind
| of which we speak these occasional
lapses from principle are recognized
as the exceptions that they are, and
they excite surprise and express
disapproval, which are in themsel-
YES the most f1attering in testimony
to the general conduct of the often
der in the particular instance. In 9th
| er words, we possess in England a
class of newspapers which, though
not absolutely innocent of the pre-
vailiug vices ofjodrnalism, are yet
so rarely guilty of them as to war
rant ussin describing them broadly
as free from those vices altogether.
