This lady, the Georgia authoress, whose novels, Ckfford Troup and Heart Hungry, have been generally read, left Atlanta some week3 ago, intending to make a permanent residence in New York. It seems that she sustained a prominent part in the. Wo man's Congress, which lately held its ses sion in that city. The Herald says: Mrs. Maria Jourdan Westmoreland came to tbe platform, and, iooking like ono of Titian's high-boru dames, said, in a sweet and low, but distinct voice, that there was a great necessity for close union between the women of the North and the South. She hoped that lecturers would be sent through the Smith in order to awaken the ladies of that section to immediate action. Mrs. Westmoreland further stated that she would gladly give any lecturers let ters of introduction to the first people of the South in order to further the common object. Mrs. Westmoreland spoke on the condition of the Southern women; she said she knew them well enough to know that if the papera of this Congress had been read in the South, it would so rouse them that thev would not be quiet until they had tte ballot. It need hardly be said that Mrs. West moreland, in expressing the views with which she is credited above, does not rep resent the women of the South. In one section of the Union, at least, women are contented to be women-they have no de sire to drag , their dainty skirts through the "filthy mire of politics ; no ambition to figure among roughs and rowdies at the polls. They have a higher and a nobler mission to perform. They run not alter strange gods, but worship at thc altars ol the fireside and thc family circle. Wc would advise the Woman's Rights women men io stay at home and not undertake . IOU -. .. . .. i s Ls at all. Wo don't believe that the business of the State requires an additon to the pa per "currency. Natural causes will and are relieving the stringency. Cotton is going on just as fast as the prices in the Northern markets warrant it. The in crease of currency will only induce specu lation. . ... But above all it will be most unfortu nate that South Carolina, with its bonds selling for a mere nominal price-ruled from the board in tho Stock Exchange should now put more paper on the, mar ket in any form. It will only tend fur ther to desiri;}- confidence, and prevent ar rangement of our bonded debt and thc placing it on an honest and living basis, which wc hope is honestly intended. We ten-that such an issue, will be re girded with so much doubt by business mon as to dest:oy utterly the prospects of the least possible good it might do. It will not be worth or passed at.par. Large corporations which owe taxes will absorb enough of it at heavy discount to liquid ate their liabilities. Sharpers and politi cal tricksters will manipulate, and they, &:\d they only, will be binefitted by it. Thia is no time for any such experiments. -Greenville Republican. From the Atlanta Herald. Georgia Farms and Farmers. ? Mr. L. A. Jordan, of Lee County, who is conceded to be the most extensive phil ter in the State, cultivated this year1 two thousand acres in cotton, ona thousand five hundred in corn, and three hundred in oats.

President ! Grant and Secretary Fish issued a procla j niation decreeing that Thursday the 27th j of November should be set .apart to be : observed as a day of thanksgiving by all j the loyal and faithful throughout the land. I In order that our readers may know what it is that they are expec ted to be thankful for we subjoin the full text of the procla I mationi . . ? ' By the President of the United' Stotts : A Proclamation : The approaching closing of another year brings with it the occasion fur renewed thanksgiving and acknowledgment to the Almighty Ruler of the Universe, of the unnumbered mercies which he has bestow ed upon us. Abundant harvests have been among the rewards of industry. With local exceptions health has been among the blessings rejoiced in. Tranquility at home and peace with other nations have prevailed. Frugal industry is regaining its merited recognition and its merited re gards. Gradually, but under the provi ! dence of God, surely as we trust, the na tion is recovering from the lingering re sults of a dreadful civil strife. For these and all other mercies vouchsafed, it be comes us as a people to rel urn heartfelt and grateful acknowledgements, and with our thanksgiving for the blessings we may unite prayers for tho cessation ol'local ano temporary sufferings. I, therefore, recom mend that on Thursday, the 27th day of November next, the people meet in their respective place? of worship, to make their acknowledgments to Almighty God for His protection and to oiler to Him prayers for their continuance, in witness where of, I have hereunto ?>at ray hand, and caused the seal of tho Unite.! States to bc affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this 14th day of October, in the year ol' our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy-three, and of the independence of the United States, the ninetv-seventh. U.'S. GRANT. By the President. "HAMILTON FISH, Secretary of State. It would be hard to find among all the papers that ever emanated from State de partments one more inelegant in expres sion, or mere faulty in grammatical con struction than the above. There ' is not even a pretence of reverence or devout ness about it. It stales that " frugal in dustry fis regaining ?is merited recognition and its merited reward." Thia is an ad mission, we suppose, that since the ad vent ol' the Radical party to power those who made their money by stealing were more appreciated by those in high places than those who earned their's by hones i toil. This is a fact, whether intended to bc conveyed in the language used in tho proclamation or not. Lastly, the proclamation, alleges this to tS*M In Wisconsin a man reported that he couldn't find a word in the dictionary, because the blasted book hadn't got an index. . ?ESS- It is tlio Bowling Green Democrat which tells this: "During an address by Mr.-, in Allen county, afew days agc, a gentleman in the audience arose partly to his feet, and with pathetic tenderness remarkod, "Ouch!" Ho had been sit ting ou a wasp, and the wasp had just noticed it." ?*. The editor of tho Huntsville (Mis souri, Herald pops tho question in his paper in this public fashion: "Tuoro's a certain giri in this town who can carry our smoke-houso keys for life if she'll only say Ul o word."

" When a fellow is too lazy to work," says Sam Slick, " he paints his name over the door, and calls it a tavern, and makes the wholo neighborhood as lazy as himself." ;it?r A largo metal button on tho dres.: of a woman at Portland, Maine, saved her life recently by turningtheball from a pistol which her affectionate husband tired at hov. ?sJ-A Southern paper says: "People who imagine there is no cotton raised lip North are mistakeu.
