And tho slavi'-horr bo heard never more ; Full six years we have given to the Black, And thc thing was undoubtedly right Now suppose, just to alter the track; We d?cote half an hour to the White. When the Suuih, in its hour of mad pride, ' At Fort Sumter let drive the first shot, Neck and hoels our poor Sambo was tied, And the North bold one end of thc knot: But our hold we let go at tho sound, For both bunds we required in the fight; And tho war fur tue Black was then found - Quite a longa job of work for the White. Well, we fought ; aye, for four years we fought, Pouring out lavish treasure and life Did the Black then arise as he ought, Cleaving Northward with torch and withkuife? All his masters were far from his track, Under Johnson and Lee in the fight ; There was nothing to hold tho Black back From assisting his champion, the White. Did he aid us when bleeding wo stood To chu se from bim slavery's dream*, Or o Lee sent he clothing and food. Harness, powder, equipments and teams? We all know that in ono single State A revolt would have ended tho fight, So no more of their " loyalty prate," For the Black robsvWere worse than the White. The White rebols came with a cheer, Their bayonets a^ant and aglow, While the Black rebels slunk in the rear, Assisting (and freely) our foe. Phillips, Sumner, and men of that school, May click-clatter from morning till ni*ht; ' But if Black ur White rebels must rule, Then, by lleavca ! count me in for the White!

On tho subject, wore far from tho row; But since cold has been Leo's latest gnn, And since Johnson stacked arms after light, We are told " by Buck valor we won" 'Tis all humbug to laurel tho White ! To the Black Rebel glory and power, . To tho Wbite rebels chains and disgrace ! Oh, madness, and worse, rules the hour We are false to faith, wisdom and ruco! To my heart with you, Longstreet and Hill, . Johnson, Lee-every man in the fight,* You were rebels, and bad onos, but still, Youj?harc roy misfortune-you're White. MILES O'RKILLY, (tien. Halpine.) Lato private 47th R., N. Y. V., Infantry. Rev. Dr. Maul) anti t hc Colored Man. A brief abstract lias been published of the speech of Kev. Bazil Manly, of this State, before the Baptist Home Missiona ary Society in New York, on the adop tion of the report of the Committee on the Southern delegation, in which report cordial response was made to tko frater nal expressions used by tho Southern delegates, and the hope was expressed that all Baptists would co operate in all ways that might be practicable to preach the Gospel e/ery where to tho destitute and emancipated millions of tho South, v and to secure to them all the rights and duties of citizenship and Christian fellow ship. Dr. Manly's speech is important and interesting, and we therefore give a report of it from the New York papers. Amongst other things he said : It has been said that if the Southern delegation talk at the South as they do here, the difficulty will be at an end. They will talk there as they do here, but there are some things that it may be needful to say here. If there was any bitterness in my heart I should bury it; but there is none. But all the Southern brethren speaking at the South as they do here, will not end all thc difficulties. It is no such easy thing as that. We are but half a dozen men, and- what are we amongst so many? Brethren at the South do not know all we have seen and heard i .^here arid at Baltimore. We. ourselves have made rapid advance, and so have you, iii the last two weeks; we have made live years in progress in two weeks time. There are at thc South Tarions sorts of people. I cannot, neither can Dr. Jeter or Dr. Fuller, speak for the whole South. There are some pretty stubborn old fellows at thc South-for those none of us can speak, and Baptists ar? very much in the habit of speaking for themselves. It will take time before all the asperities wiH be smothered down. We at the South do not recognize the so cial equality of the negto. All the rights which he has by law we have no desire to interfere witb^ but we cannot entrust to him the management of the interests of our country for this simple reason : God and man know he is not competent to control them. We recognize slavery as dead, and we have no ' desire nor idea of its restoration in any form, but the political control of our country we can not consent to transfer into their hands. Y'ou may do it, and we must submit, but of our own voluntary effort we will not - we cannot. This report uses the ex pression all rights and duties of citizen ship. If by that word is to be understood suffrage, we cannot endorse that expres sion-for whatever may be our views upon that matter, we have no right to ex press any opinion in this religious body. We have no disposition to deny them the rights of freedmen, or of Baptists, or of the ministry. But upon the question of suffrage we have no right to commit this organization to republican or to demo cratic principles-to take the side of any political party. It is proper, however, that I should add that we have the deepest interest in the elevation of the colored people, and their advancement in morals, in education and everything that goes to make up the dig nity of man. We are tar more deeply interested in thetn than any other people nuder Heaven, because we have got to dwell amongst them, or leave the graves of our kindred and the homes of our youth. If they are vicious, corrupt, ig norant, debased, we sutler. It makes lit tle difference to you Northerners, but all our interests, our hoiries, our welfare, depend upon the society which surrounds tis. Everything that we hold dear is pledged to enlist our efforts to promote their education. We feel no hostility to them,.or desire that it should exist. Our ministers have always preached lo them, and still continue to preach to them as opportunity allows. I have baptized more colored than white persons. I preach constantly to a larger colored than white membership. Immediately on my return I preach the funeral of a colored man at bis own dying request. The colored peo ple love us ; they have confidence in us. We ask you to help us in ou* work amongst them. If you wrH, God be thanked, if you will not, " still we re joice that in every way Christ is preached." An honest Dutchman, on being asked how often he shaved, replied : " Dree dimes a >tek every tay put BwaUy; ? den I ?We^i^ fey/' J -An Exciting Scene*- - A great u. experience meeting" some years ago was to be held one evening ic -church, where the speakers were, as usual, ta be reformed drunkards. Ar, estimable- woman, whom we will* call Alice, was induced to attend. When thc meeting was somewhat advanced, a lat? member of Congress, arose with apparent sadness and hesitation. "Though 1 had consented, at your ur gent solicitation, to address this assem bly to night," he said, " yet I have fell so great a reluctance, in doing so, that ii has been with the utmost difficulty that ] could drag myself forward. As to rela ting my experience, that I do not think 1 can venture upon. The past I do not re call. I could wish that the memory o ten years of my life were blotted out.' He paused a moment, much affected, ant then added in a final voice, " something must be said of my own case, or I fail t< make thc impression on your minds thu I wish to produce. " Your speaker once stood among th< respected members of the bar. Nay more than that, he occupied a seat ii Congress for two congressional periods And more than that," he continued, hi: voice sinking into a tone expressive o deep emotion, he once had a tenderly loved wife and two sweet children. Bu all these blessings have departed fron him. He was unworthy to retain them his constituents threw him off .because hi had debased himself and disgraced them And more than all, she who had lovet him devotedly, the mother of his babes was forced to abandon him and see?c.ai asylum in her father's house. And why Could I become so changed in so fev short years ? What power was there t< so debase me that my fellow being: spurned, and even the ?wife of my boson turned away heart stricken from me ' Alas, my friends, it was a mad indulgent in intoxicating drinks. ? But for this, were an honorable ard useful representa tive in the halls of legislation and blesser, with home and wife and children. " But 1 have not told you all. aftei my wife was separated from me, I san! rapidly. A state of sobriety brought tot many dreadful thoughts ; 1 drank mon deeply and was rarely if ever free fron bewildering effects of partial intoxication At last I became so abandoned, that my wife, urged by her friends, no doubt, filer, an application for a divorce, as cause coule bc readily shown why it should be grant ed, a separation was legally declared and to complete my disgrace I was hil off the ticket as unfit to represent th( district. " When I heard this new movement, the great temperance cause, at first 1 sneered, then wondered, listened at last and at last threw myself on the greal wave that was rilling onward, in hope ol being carried far out of the reach of dan ger. I did not hope with vain hope, lt.did for me all and more than I could have desired, lt sat me once more on my feet, once more made a man of mc A year of sobriety, earnest to my pro tession and fervent prayer to Him, whe alone gives strength in every good reso lution, restored to me much that I have lost; but not all, not the richest treasure that 1 have proved myself unworthy to retain-not my wife and children. Be. tween myself and these . the law has laid its stern impassable interdictions. I have no longer children, though my heart goes towards these .loved ones with the ten derest yearnings. Pictures of our early days of wedded love are ever lingering in my imagination. I dream of the sweet fireside circle. I see ever before me the placid face of my Alice, as her eyes looked into mine with intelligent confi dence ; the music of her voice is ever sounding in my ears." Here the speaker's emotion overcame him ; utterance became choked, and he stood silent, with bowed head and tremb ling limbs. The dense mass of people were hushed into an oppressive stillness, that was broken here and there by half stifled sobs. At this moment there was a movement in the crowd. A single female figure, before whom every one appeared instinc tively to give way, was seen passing up the aisle. This was not observed by the speaker until she had come nearly in front of the platform on which he stood. Then the movement caught his ear, his eyes that instant fell on Alice, who by the kindness of those near her, was conducted to his side. The whole audience-, thrilled with the scene, were upon their feet, bending forward, when the speaker e.\. tended his arms, and Alice threw herself upon his bosom. An aged minister then came forward and gently separated them. " No, no'." said the reformed Congressman, "you cannot lake her away from me." ^ " Heaven forbid that I shouftv' said the minister ; " but by your own confes sion she is not your wife." " No, she is not," returned the speaker, mournfully. "But is ready to take her vows avain," modestly said Alice, in a low tone, smi lin<j through her tears. O ci Before that large assembly, all stand ing, and with few dry eyes, the marriage ceremony was again performed, that gave thc speaker and Alice to each other. As the minister, an aged man with thin white locus, completed the marriage rite, he laid his hands upon the heftds of the two he had joined in the holy bands, and lifting up his streaming eyes, said in n solemn voice, "What God has joined to gether, let not man put asunder." " Amen !" was cried by the whole as sembly, as with a single voice.-.Old Oaken Bucket, -t-? Wisdom in Small Lots.

Farmer's Clubs* A writer cited in the Southern Planter and Farmer, remarks that Farmers scat tered over the country, occupy themselves too constantly with physical labor. " Too much muscular exercise wearies the body and indisposes the mind to exertion Thc? Farmer ha3 too long regarded his calling as a physical mission, requiring little or no effort of the mind, but a con stant tension of*the muscle. Anything which should induce them to congregate together socially would be a great bles sing, but still more so, when this meering is for the purpose of comparing notes upon their occupation. ; . " It would surprise a body of Farmers who have never tried it, to find how much knowledge could be gained upon almost any subject connected with agriculture, from twenty-five average Farmers, who should each contribute the tacts he knew relating to it. Perhaps, no one of. the twenty-five would be able to give more than a few facts concerning the topic yet when each had contributed what he knew, the subject might be thoroughly elucida ted and easily understood. When they corn? together no one fully understands the subject, but when the discussion is over every one might carry away a full knowledge of it. And this leads us to speak of the proper method of conducting the Farmers' Clubs. First, there should be as little formality and as lew rules as possible,- -consistent with good order. Select a man of prompt decision and of few words for chairman, and the most ready writer as secretary. Avoid set speeches and prepared disserta tions. You come together to communi cate facts and not to display rhetoric. It should be a meeting for a free and informal interchange of ideas in the conversational way. This will be found much better and more profitable than debate. You cannot well debate a question without the disputants becoming interesting for tri umph in argument-for the success of a side-and this is not the object in discus sion. The object should be to gain knowl edge, to accumulate facts on which to base a right decision and not to display ability in argument, to thc triumph in disputation. Suppose the question were the u best time to cut wheat?" It is obvi ous that well-attested experiments bearing upon this subject would be necessary to determine it. Every one who could give any fact showing the effect of cutting wheat at a peculiar stage of growth would assist in elucidating it. One could per haps give the effect upon rust, cutting wheat while green showing the quality of the grain to be little injured by it ; an other cut it when ripe, and the rust had ruined the grain ; another states that he cut before ripe, when no rust appeared, and found the berry plump and got a larger proportion of flour per bushel than when he had cut on full ripen ing. And thus one after another gives his experience upon all sides of this ques tion, until the facts render its solution clear." From tbe Atlanta Intelligencer. Sovereign Recipe for Diarrhoea. ATLANTA, May SO, 1808. This is the season of dysentery, and there is a good dc afc of it in our city. 1 would like to call the attention of the community to a soverign recipe for diar rhoea, dysentery, &c. It has been in use in my father's family for the last twenty years, and has never failed to effect a cure. You will please give it a place in your widely circulated paper : Put in a large pitcher two tablespoon ful Sf carbonate of soda and four ofloaf sugar; pour on these a pint of hot water, when they are perfectly dissolved add half a pint of cold water, then put in a tablespoonful of pulverized Turkey rhu barb or two ounces of the tincture, a small teaspoonful of the oil of pepper mint or enough of the tincture to give it a perceptible taste, and lastly, half a pint of good French Brandy. Bottle up carefully, and administer to the patient in doses equal to half a wine glass full three 'limes a day, or as often as the bow els are. moved. In extreme cases, accom panied by griping pains, double the pro portion of brandy and laudanum, and use freely. Give ita fair trial ; no, family should be without it. A PUBLIC F^EKO. A Kiss Before Parting. The following incident is said to have recently caused some amusement in the London fashionable circles : % A lady of distinction, the Marchioness of Finsbury, 'lately spent more than an i our in a music store in Regent street, buying all the pieces of music with a sen timental title that she could find. When she had finished her purchases, and wa? already on the threshold of the doorj she paused a moment with a hesitating air. . The clerk, who had assiduously waited on so good a customer, stepped forward and asked her if she .wished for anything else. The marchioness made an effort to collect her thoughts, and turned back, fixing her beautiful eyes on the face of the clerk, who blushed to the ears. " Thad quite forgotten one thipg," said she, in a voice that seemed tremulous. "1 don't know wliat is the matter with me to-day. I came back to ask you if-" She made a short pause, as if to_ sum mon up her courage. Meanwhile the cleric, pulling up his falso collar, leaned gracefully on the counter and bent for ward. " I came back," continued the marchio ness, " to ask if you would be good enough to give me o kiss before parting ?" "My lady !" exclaimed the astonished clerk. . "I desire that you should give-mea kiss before pa/ting" repeated the marchio ness, with a deliberate air, fixing her eyes on the clerk, who seemed turned into stone. Without betraying the least emotion she repeated the request for the third time saying,'"if you cannot give it i# me to day I will call some other time." The clerk, intoxicated with joy at the hasty thought that the beautiful marchio ness had taken a sudden fancy for lum, did not wait for any further entreaties, but, springing over the counter, threw his arms around the waist of his fair custo mer, and Impressed the asjied-for },?sa upon her oheek. To his surprise his solo response was a blow in the face from the parasol of the marchioness, who begnn bo shriek wildly, and did not cease until three policemen rushed into the shop and look the wondering clerk into custody. Foe affair was explained the next day ia Coivt, "?-he then magistrate ob ones asi the unfortunate culprit at liberty od learn ing that " A Kiss Before. Parting", was the name of a fashionable song, the exis* tence of which till then was wholly un known to him. . : Patrick Fagan and the Well. Patrick Fagan is a genuine sonNof the Green Isle, but years ago he emigrated, and after rambliug about for a few months in the New World, cast his lot amid the people of the Sunny South. Save his" indelible national characteristics, he be came thoroughly and completely identi fied with his adopted people. When the war broke, out he was among the first to don the grey and shoulder his musket. During four long, bloody years Pat fol lowed the gory standard of the Army of Northern Virginia. A better or more faithful soldier was not to be found in its ranks. But at length came the surrender, and covered with wounds and glory, the hum ble corporal Faganreturned to his former section, and gracefully submitting to stern necessity, doffed his warlike garb and ways and resumed his old occupa tion. That occupation, be it -known, was seeking nature's beverage beneath the. earth's surface-in other words, digging wells. Many a specimen of Pat's pro ficiency abounds, and many a thirsty wayfarer *! gasping on. the brink" has, when imbibing from the "old oaken bucket," had cause to bless-his handicraft in his particular calling. These works are Pat's monuments, many of which will endure when more lofty and orna mental, but less useful ones shall be no more. Not a great while ago Pat was em ployed in a village, where he was well known, to dig a well, pro bono publico. The contract was made that he was to be paid a certain sum per foot, and warrant a free supply of water. At it he went with a will, and his daily progress wa3 intently watched by interested parties. Early and late he delved away faithfully, deep down in the earth full of confidence in the speedy completion of his labors. He had reached the depth of about twenty-five feet, and soon expected to u. strike water." Early one morning Pat repaired to the scene of his labors, and, horrible to tell, it had caved in and was nearly full. He gazed with rueful visage upon the wreck, tfnd thought of the addi tional labor the aocident would cause him. After a moment's reflection, he looked earnestly around and saw that no one was stirring, then quickly divesting him self of hat and coat, he carefully hung them on the windlass and speedily made tracks for a neighboring eminence which overlooked the village. Here, hiding amid the undergrowth, he quietly awaited the progress of events. As the morning wore on, -the inhabi tants .began to rouse and stir out. Several were attracted to the new well, thinking that as Pat's haf and coat were there.he was of course below at work. Soon the alarm was raised that the well had caved and that Pat was in it. A Crowd collect ed and stood horrified at the fate of poor Pat. A brief consultation was held, and: soon spades and other implements were* brought, to dig out the remains of the unfortunate man. To work they went with a will ; when one set became wearied with the unusual labor a dozen ready hands grasped the implements and dug lustily. Pat quietly looked on from his retreat on the emineuce, while the whole village stood around the well and watched wilh breathless suspense the work go bravely on. As the diggers approached the bottom, the excitement of the by standers grew Intense, and they collected as near as safety would admit, gazing fearfully down into the well. With great care and precaution the dirt was dug away, and when the bottom was at length reached, no Pat was to be found. The crowd, before so anxious, gradualy relaxed into a broad grin, which broke forth iu uproarious merriment, when the veritable Pat walked up with a smiling countenance and addressed the crest-fallen diggers, who now stood weary and soiled with their labors : ".Be jaberu, gintlemen, and its Patrick Fagan sure that is much oblee?ed to yees for doin' of that nice little job of wurk V The effect can be better imagined than described, as the most active of the young men slunk off, several low-breathed mut terings broke forth that sounded very muoh like SOLD. Through the kindly aid of his fellow citizens, Pat soon finished his well, and it remains among the monuments of his genius to this day.-Mobile Register. A very pretty incident is related of a canary-bird by a Georgia jpaper. The door of the bird's cage was occasionally left open that he might enjoy the freedom of the room. One day he happened to light upon the mantle shelf whereupon was a mirror. Here was a new discovery of the most profound interest. Fie gazed long and curiously at himself, and came to the conclusion he had found a mate. Going back to his cage he selected a seed from its box, and brought it in his bill as an offering to the stranger. In vain the canary exerted himself to make his new found friend partake, and" becoming weary of that, tried another tack. Stepping back a few inches from the glass he poured forth his sweetest netes, pausing now and then for a reply. None came ; and moody and disgusted he flew back to his perch, hanging his head in shame and si lence for the rest of the day ; and al though the door was repeatedly left open, refused to come out again.
