The Good wc Might Do.
Wc all might do good,
Where we often do ill
There is olwuya.tho way
If wo hare hut tho will ;
Though it bo but a word,
Kindly breathed or supprest,
It may guard off some pain,_
Or gire peace to some breast.
We all might do good, *
In a thousand small way;?,
In forbearing-io flatter,
Yct'giving duo praise:
In spurning ill humor,
Roproring wrong done,
And treating bet kindly
Tho heart we hare won.
We all might do gcod,
Whethsr lowly or great,
For desert is not ganged
By the purse cr estate ; .
If it bo but a cup *
Of cold water that'* given*
Like tho widow's two mites,
It is something for Ileavon. .
The Agricultural Interest.
The following article from the Charlottes
ville Chronicle, while primarily directed at
the farmers of Virginia, applies truthfully to
those of post, if not all, parts of tho Con
federacy : ..
The behavior of the agricultural interest
in this war has not contributed to the eviden
ces of their superiority over thc townspeople.
, The simplicity, openness, bountifulness which
.we associatod with our country gentlemen
and substantial farmers have been sharply
colored by high wood, high- corn, high beef,
high fowls, high butter, and high molasses.
We bad been encouraged lo believe in thc
towna, that the farmers were a comparatively
sublimated taco, cultivated by their generous
pursuits and their habitual contemplation of
nature, into something superior to thc sordid
frames that pervaded and prevailed more or
less among people excited by commercial
transactions aud demoralize.-? by business.
Wc knew that merchants and lawyers made
all they could, and had disciplined their con
sciences by long exercises to have Jess sympa
thy with thc circle of their friends than* with
themselves. And a moro attentive observa
tion of human society, since the inception of
this war, Las persuaded us that farmers are
no better than other people. They loo have
som? weakness. Now* we notice, if a farmer
has a turkey (although he may bc lord of a
thout-^ud acre* and a hundred niggers)-he
seems to give his mind to that, turkey, and
selling him ia Richmond for- eighty dollars,
with as little elevation of soi l as a mau who
trades in mules, or takes your measure for
3'onr coat and pantaloons. It is true he is a
landed proprietor; he has the orthodox opin
ions about Southern Chivalry ; ho resembles'
"rib?sownjudgmeMt the* old squirearchy" of j
England ; he abhors ail sordid Yankee ways ; j*
bc regards the Yankees as a nation of money
getters ; but he wants to sell his turkey. And
he intends to git eighty dollar*.
This war was joined on the i ?SUO cf the
Protection of our Slave Propcr:y. Thousands
have died tu this .great end. Homes have
been destroyed. 3iany hearts have been
broken. Titi: net'roes have not been used in
the war. Their masters have retained t hem
to raise foud for the government, and make
money for the owt-ers of the said slaves. And
now the poor cry as loud for broad, and-t?o
they get it ?
"There is many a poor woman, whoso hus
band-dear to her as the manorial lord io Lis
fascinating lady-has been following the ctmp
fres for three years. He has survived, per
haps, fifteen or twenty battles-it may be
has received a bullet or two. He gets fur his
cervices eleven dolk-.rs by the m?ritb, and bis
ca ptain's .servant gets thirty-five. A targe
part cf the lime his feet have been on the
ground, and in the winter nights he has often
been cold. Behind bim be left bia family-a
wife and several children. He is doing battle
for the institutions of the South-btu who
hears those poor orphans cry for food ? There
are a thousand cr twelve hundred persons in
thc county of Albemarle receiving public
charity. There are two or three thousand
mere, who are too proud to ask it. From
among these, many husbands, fathers, broib
ers have lallen, u with their backs to the field,
and their feet to the foe." Others expect the
ordeal of the coming summer.
These people have to give two or three hun
dred dollars for a barrel of flour. Many of
them we presume, do not oat meat.
What is the duty of ?he farmers. ? It is
to divide with the community. They have
no right to make money when thc ship is
leceivicg the enemy's broadsides. At least
they should sustain the gallant tais who are
fighting their battles. ?.
Thia is not all. The large farmers are also
exempted from military service. This is
hard to bear, but we ought to bfcr it. Tho j ?
demagogue could handle it with powerful ef- '
feet; but there was no help for it. The ne- i ^
ce&sity for feeding the army demand?} it. j I
But while this much is conceded, fir the j 1
. country's sake, and Lr tbeir property's sake, i *
to the farmers, tba people have thc right lo '
demand that their families shall le partaker i ? 1
of the food of thc land. Our soldiers, aud I ?
our soldiers' families must be fed. J
And nov/ to avoid all misconception, let us M
not be understood as urging any complaints j '
against all farmers. There are many noble
exception?; our. meaning ia thr.t as a class
tb.-?y have not met tho public expectations.
Thc recent tu:c bill is aa hit tance ot tho:
partiality of our legi-duiion to thc agricultural j
interest. A farmer's land is assessed at ?ts
value tn ISC?, a;:d he pays 5 per eent. on it.
But the per?ou v.hi-s; property ia in bank |
?stock, or iusucance st .; !:, has his stock a-?-ess j
ed at its value in i HG4, and pay ? ? per cc:<t.
on that valuation. In other words, ai the ?
Albemarle insurance st..?.-k (owii g ?o its judi* j
cious management j was worth i OJ on the :
?7th of February, thd ov.ner is taxed lo pcr !
Cetil, on :he par V.tluc. It is tri ? lb? All)?- >
marie Icsurance Company has made twenty !
per cont, during ilia past yeal. But the
farmer han made fifty per cent.

The Execution of David Owen Dodd.
i'xecuied in Little Rock, Arl-., Jan. 8,
136-1, David ?wen Dodd, aged 17 years, KOH
of Mr. Al. Dodd, formerly a merchant of
Little R*-ck. '
. Air. Dodd had n short time previous to the
execution of his son, removed his family from
Little Rock, and had gent his son b*ck on
btisincs... While, there he gained important
information in regard to the garrison and de
fences of the city, and had hoted them in tel
egraphic characters in his memorandum book.
On kia way to Camden he was" met by a Fed
eral scout, who eearched bim mid found tho
fated book. Ho was taken to Little Rock,
tried by court marti?;], and sentenced to bo
bung as a spy. Previous to his execution,
Generals Steele and Davidsou both conversed
with him, assuring him of thoir sympathy on
account ol bis extreme youth. And n<t they
knew some one intimate about their headquar
ters hud given him the information, they
proffered to releasehim on condition he would
divulge the name of his informant. This he
scorned to do, saying if a wrong had been
committed he was the guilty one, and l< that
a man that would not die for his principles
was not fit to live."
When brought to the scaffold he steadily
ascended it, calmly pulled off his coat, and
m'it bis fate without a shudder. Two boure
befure his execution herr?te, with a steady
hand, his--last letter" to his parents and sis
ters, telling them not to weep for him, but to
meet him iu Heaven. Seldom do such in
stances of pure, disinterested patriotism occur.
Never will a grateful people fort;et the memo;
rica of the noble dead who hare freely offer
ed their lives for their couutry, and there are
none whoso cami's will be more gratefully
embalmed than tho subject of this memoir.
Rather thnn betray bia friends lie preferred
death, and thereby crowned h?3 name with
immortal honor. Such are the foes we have
lo contend against. This arid a thousand
other instances of their fiendish work ought
to awake every Southern heart to eternal
resistance. Tue pen caa never fully describe
r.ke foul deeds of Sherman's outlaws on their
raid to Meridian.-Mississippian.
This young hero wau a member of the ttth
Texas cavalry, one of the most gallant '.'cgi-.
ment? i? the service. We ic-ol assured that
the rangers will exact a fearful settlement in
blood for their young comrade. Many, a
Yankee,, who, but for this ex?cution, would
be taken prisoner, will bc made lo bite the
dust. The gallant Texans have long memo
ries and good revolvers. They pay these
kind of debts with compound interest. Wo
predict that at least one* hundred Yankees
will ?ie a sacrifice to the memory of David
Owen Dode1.
Four Per Cent. Bonds."
In our last isrue, we published- n despatch
from Secretary Memuiipger, in which be re
ferred to the Richmond Sentinel, of the 23d
oat., for an authoritative statement with
referenco to the transferability of the four
per cent, bonds. Thc following is the article
n question. It will be seen that the poiut
which- we raised the other- da}' as to .the
jiving of change by the tax collector is also
lecided : .
As some uncertainty and even misappie
ittisio;; exists a? to the trausferr&hllity of
he ?our per cent, certificates now being issued
inder the recent-Currency Act, the following
itatemeut, which wo make upon full inibrriTa
ion from the Treasury Department, end by
ts desire, will be acceptable to the public.
The Jour per cent, certificates ol deposit :
viii be received in payment of the taxes of
he person to whom they aro issued, Qjr oj'
..inj assignee. The certificates are ??signable \
u the ?urin usual with certificates of block. '
Ve would advise holders to take tbs usu?I
l?sincss cour&j of miking an assignment be- *'

n the back of all Conil-dsrate registered 1

he assignee.- The cants, cf any holder can i
ie inserted to suit occasions.
We are fuitnor ii^najdlh.-.t when a cr-r
ificatc of deuosit prescn?ooy n tax payer
bid! exceed the amount ol his laxes, tho tax
Loileelorj will be authorized io give bim .t
lew certificate for the excess. For example,

ive u.?cs t.! several tux payer.-. Fractional

Cheerful Sign? in Kentucky.
* The Lexington (Ky,) lieyorler, of the 12th.
inst., liss a brief, but vciy. animated report
of a speech of Col. Frank Wo?ford, of Ken
tucky, of the TJnited'Stafcs nrrny,. which for
Iks outspoken, darin'-' urtF independent de
nunciation of the " powers that be" at. Wash
ington, is not second to thc hitter and scath
ing invectives of Vnllaridigham. Col. W.has
been ia the Federal'service fer three years,
and has borne himself as true to the North,
Kentuckian as he is, as thc most ultra North
man could desire. In referring to the recent
order for thc. enrollment of negroes in Ken
tucky, the Colono!, denounced it as unconsti
tutional, and said :
It was but another of thc" series of startliWJ?
usurpations of power which wrrc being niadt ;
and he said it was the duty of tho people of J
Kentucky to resist it ns a violation of their
guaranteed rights. If they were overpowered
by force, in th?ir rtfuaul to ohey this order,
then lie advised them to appeal to the law
protection; and he r/as mistaken in tho Gov
enor of ibe State whom he had known long
and .intimately (Gov. Braral?tie occupied a
position on thc plsnfonn with thc speaker,
having come up especially for the purpose of j
hearing him,) if be did not protect them in
their constitutional rights. If, when the p:-o
plo of Kentucky appealed to .thc law for pro
tection from this unconstitutional edict, Mr.
Lincoln persisted in enforcing it, Uk would
himself be the rebel,-and not thc people ?fj
Kentucky.
He would by no means/ offer resistance to
this unconstitutional order to thc end of I
throwing thc State inlo'secession, 4>ut wheo.
Kentucky had fulfilled; all ber duties and ob
ligations to the Federal Government, was loy
al to thc Constitution and laws of the land,
and intended so to remain, she had a right to
demand that her Constitution, and the rights
of her people under it, rhould he respected,
and he believed t?>at .Gov. Bramlette would
see that they were respected. He added at
the same time that, while he hud no idea of)
?giving up his Government, or quitting its ser
vico, by reason of the unconstitutional and
impolitic enrollment of negrees, and that they
?.hould ncit?-er<jg|fl?t to him nor would he to
them, yet as aKTOiueky freeman he had a
clear opiuion on this subject, ai.d did not hes
itate to express it. Thu people c f Kentucky
did not want to keep s;ep to the^' music ' of I
thc Union." ?loiipside of n<-gr? soldiers, lt j
was an insult and a degradation for which
their Jr*e and manly spirits wore not prepar
ed, while it involved af. the same time an in
fraction of the rights of tho Stuto whfcB it
was tho duty of the Governor, under his oath
to support thu Constitution and tee the laws
faithfully executed, lo resist with ali thc con
stitutional power of the Common wealth.
Cul. Welford closed his speech by .Kating
thai Le was aware that there wer?: always iii
every public assembly nov/ a drys " pimps
atid informers," who made it their business to
report to the fountains of powerand patronn?e
what was said in opposition to them. Ile
called upou them to report what he said faith
fully, cn 1 amor g other things they bight

what those in the f.rmy, whom he considered
his ininion.*, thought of his official course,
