Were linked throughout our land; And massive weulth in golden.pjles, Was moved from hand to hand. Ten years ago contentment reigned, In every dwelling spot; Till Southern pride with wrath disdair ed, To bear oppressions lot. Since tlicit how deep, how dark a cloud, lath o'er our spirits hung, Since grim misfortune wove her shrou'd, And 'round our nation flung. But now the darkest hour is past, Ai sunshine beanis once more, Otr'cOunity's lot may yet he cast, Where countle a blessings pour. Those da-s when peace uno'ouded shone, A nd cast tile blisrul spell, As good old tinies forever gone, Will be remembered well. Yet deep witbin each Sot.thern head, Will swell an angry tide; For every arm thalt bore a part, On dire oppressionts side. Loter from B. F. Perry. On aasvt1.t.E, S. C., March 13, 1871.

Never was there a more fatal mistake, or a more diabolical wrong eomnmitted,, than 'when you orgapa ized colored -troops throughout the S tate and put arms into their a hands, * powder and ball, and denied the satn to the white peeple It wa ptrn cious. She bloody tragedy at Lan reuas was owing to this, and nothing else. The .marder ,of Stevens and Athier whi~te men at Union by ope of * your negro companies, and the subsni * quent execution of ten colored pris. crners was ow.ing~to the lame cause. Sbe fearful killing and, murder of a ,number of nien at Chester was like. wiso owing to .)our..-color~e4 mnilitia.

Agricultural Education In BavarIa. In Bavaria every district school has twoe or mor'e acres of land rattached to it, and teachers are required 'to be competent to instruct the youths in the rudiments of agriculture as well as -arithmetic or grammar.

Another War Brewing. The Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel seems apprehensive of a war betweed that city and the town of Ham burg, as will appear by the fo!!o ving article Iaken from that paper. The Chroui Olc ays: Now that the Franco-Prussian war has ended to the satiaAction of one of tho-pArties, if--not . the other and the interest which dur. otitizeus took in the combat hias ubsidodIt'here comes a rumor of another war whiell will tonch us wore nearly-one in which the 'people of this city will take a part. On ydmterday rumors were rife that hostilities between Augusti and Hamburg will soon be proclAim. ed unless the govermnmnt of the lat tqr place shall abandon the belliger. ett attitude wbioh it has. sarnmed.-. Before the war the nost cordial feel. ing oxisted betwoon the two goveru inents, but since the Africanizatiori of Harnburg, this good feeling has dwappeared, and each city has main ta'med a throatenin g attitude. At an election held in ll1atnburg a few days ago, the sable veteran Prinoe Rivers-the obony Murat of the Carolina fores-and other notorioub wai menj were elected to offoo by an overwhelming majority. This itself was a bad sign; but, as with the avowed purpose of bringing matters to a crisis, our own City Counoil, just about that time, had the temerity to pass an ordinance requiring foot pas. songers across the city bridge to pay toll. This at once precipitated mat. ters. A largo proposition of the foot passmfigers across the briege are im. pecunious colored vagabonds from Hamburg, and, as may be Imagined, it mnade the hot blood of chivalrous Africana boil with indignation to think that when they wished to reach the gin-tnills of Augusta they would eitlier have to swim the raging Savan' ah, or elso pay to a rebel city gov rrntnent the nieklo won by honest in lustry at draw.-poker or the string uuame. They at onoe determined upon r-iprisals, axvd on yesterday Prince RiVers'issued a dreadful edict, and postted it on'the Hamburg side of the bridge, to the effect that any Augusta oow which iwandered into his domin ions would be arrested and not roleasd 3d until-a tiibuto of flvo dollars was merdored. It is also said that they breaten to levy toll on their side of .ho bridge, and mulot overy Ku Klux hat passes. Affairs seem rapidly ap proacihing a crisis, and we had better )egin to prepare for war. P. G. 3ani furnish a navy. and the other wards an army, widoh, we think, will be more than sufficient to crush the haughty Rivers in the event that he proclaims hostilities. If war does !0omie, we- never will stop until the. I., Inburg government is overthrownt and our victorious forces have entered the encmy's cupital in triumph, and then we will annex the little burg and keep it straight. Washington News. Elliott, of South Carolina (colored), nad a strong appeal to the Repub. iolons not to consent to an adjourn nent until a bill was passod to pun 8lh the Ku Klux and protect the oiti. tens of the South. Morton's bill miak ing 'outrages uinondable to -the Federal Courts; and exacting iron-ohad oaths from hI'oderal jurors, will be presented on Monday.
