Give to the struen, somwing poor 1 Tnt boon that Pity's cause demands: Food, raiment, in their hour of need I Give, noble hearts; give, generous hands ! Thousands on thousands turn to ye Imploring glances dimmed with tears 1 Give of your store, O livered ones, And soothe their woes, raid calm their fears 1 Mothers who pine, pale, weeping, sad, And bending o'er their early dead. Will pause amid their speechless grief To call God's blessluys cu your headl Aye, Be' who said that e'on the cup With water from tho wayside spring, Given in His name, shall liave reward, . Will not forget your offering. Give while you may; hauts bruised and crushed Some little joy in srief may know; Some eye grown bright, eoihe hided cheek Again with health and beauty glow, Give while you may, O happy ones In pleasant bornes 1 Tho orphan pleads ; The widow's mournful plaint is heard ; Let generous hearts prompt generous deeds I Blackened with fire and scarred with graves, That land hes desolate and drear; Her virgi IB mourn, ber young men slain. And every household has its bier I No flowers bloom where ijcathiug.flame Hath swept theoroof-tree and the sod; . ' And limine stalks from door to door, Mysterious visitant from God I - And shall tba cry that's l>ornaalong On every breeze, to every ear, .-- "Waken n- > echo in our hearts, Nor start th? sympathetic tear ? . it may not, cannot, must not be, That these shall plead, but plead in vain; . Humanity would spurn tee thought. And brand it with the crLne of Cain I " Aye, God Himself from Heaven calls On us in this the darkest hour Of mortal wont and mortal woe, To give according to our power; To give according to their need; To give, while yet to give we may, Le?t uhrist may speak the words of doom In the last great, eventful day I* BLADENSBURG, MD., April A, 18C7. * "I was hungered and ye gave Me no meat; I was thirsty and ye gave Me no drink; naked and ye clot ht J Merool * . . * ? * * *T * K * * * * Verily, I say unto you: Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these you did it not to Me, And these shall go away into everlasting punish? ment." State Items. ABBESTED.-Messrs. J. B. Clayton, Thoa. D. Gar? yin, J. C. C. Parsons, and others whose names are unknown to us, have been arrested by the mili? tary authorities, carried to Greenville, and re? quired to enter toto bond for their appearance at a future day. The charge against these gentle? men, as we team, is tho killing of "Benson Crane during, the war. If this be true, we trust these persons will be discharged. To inquire into every? thing that transpired during the wax, would pro? duce the moat unpleasant cons?quences, and tend to divide and distract the attention of the people still more. What has. been, done cannot now be undone- if life has been taken, life cannot bo re restored. Let the "hatchet" be buried-let us look and live for the future. The present is drear} and gloomy-let us have sunshine, prosperity and happiness.-Keowee Courier. THE PEACH CEOP.-Unusually severe weather has blasted th? hopes ! ol' the lovers of. good fruit. The peach crop will bf s failure in this section. We have betier hopes of the apple crop.-Ibid. S?DDXN DEATH.-On Sunday morning lasl, a freed woman. '? named Louisa Hopkins, died, very H?ddenly,-nt -the Calvar- Baptist Church, in* this city, during service. Coroner Walker, being noti? fied of the ?tot, empanneled a jury of inquest, and, arter a thorough investigation of the body by Dr. W. P. Geiger, and the examination of many wit? nesses, the jury retun ed a verdict that , tho de? ceased came to her de.Uh from disease of the heart.-Fheemx. REVIVAL AMONG THIS COLORED PEOPLE.-We learn that there has been quite a revival going on among the colored people for several weeks past, and.baptisms have boen frequent-on Sunday last there were sixteen.-ibid. Georgi a Items. A FATAL DISCBAEOE.-Tho killin g of the negro and four mutes by lightning Thursday evening, which afiair'we mentioned yesterday, was a singu? lar occurrence. The te un belonged to Mr. Frank Mott, son of CoL Mott, and was being driven along an opea rota from- Dover to Mr. M's plantation, a short ^distance off. Only the front portion ol' the j "log wagon" was being used. A man a short dis? tance off Baw tho occruTence. Everything about the wagon dropped instantaneously with the nash. Nothing raise appeared disturbod, and but one spoke of a wheel, and that only slightly split, was ; affected. The four mules fell with then: backs to each other, and the negro driver was found dead in his saddle, rein in hand and bucket on nia arm. The ground around was open and level-Columbus Sun. ...... . UNFOETUNATE Oocu?utENcE.-We leam that Mr. Jesse Glawson waa atanbed and killed by Dr. Jas. Barron, in Chu ton, Tuesday last. Both were re- I epectable citizens of Jones County, and the former was Judge of, the County Court. They'were, too, ? elderly men and friends, and the killing occurred ? in a drinking frolic without any adequate cause ol I, quarreL The affair is much regretted, by none, probably, so much as by the .unfortunate survivor. At last accounts he had. not been arrested, but it waa not believed he would attempt to escape from the law.-Macon Telegraph. A HOMICIDE.-Saturday afternoon last, at about I 4 o'clock, the usual quiet of our city was broken 11 by a report of a pistol, ind the subsequent death 11 of a young colored woman, nar.od Anna Gardner, 11 wall known in the communi?, as a girl of easy . virtue. This tragedy occurred upon Bay street, j ' in the office occupied by Mr. R. Hopkins. The ac- j \ counts o? the transaction'' are so conflicting, and , the surmises growing oat of ii so various in their ? nature, that without attempting to give the par- 11 ticulMtki.wa wiRsrurply state that the said colored 11 woman, Anna Gardner, met her death from a pis- 1 toLahot,-fired by Mr. Hopkins, in the room Of the 11 latter. She, after being wounded, rushed out on [c the sidewalk on Bay ntreot, where she foll, and \L died ahnost instantly.

Both parties were arrested, and an oxami- s nation, which will be held to-day, will elicit all the facta in tho casey-Sav. Republican. j MEETING OF THE "SbtrrHEBN PRESS ASSOCIA- R, TTON."-In the official proceedings of Council on j j. Friday night last, we notice that thc following ? preamble and resolutions, offered by Alderman n Coi, were adopted : i It appearing, from notice in tho press of this I city and: other cities South, that the Southern '> Press.Association will hold its next annual meet- ( mg in Atlanta, on the third Wednesday, being tho 0 17th day, of the presen : month; be it ihorefore- t Resolved, That His Honor the Mayor bo re- L quested to designate a hall, in which the dele? gates to' said meeting may convene and deliberate; ii and that he also be requested to furnish such sta- h tion&ry and service as that body may require dur- ? ing its session in this city. e Resolved, That the proposed meeting of the a Southern Press Association in this city is highly a gratifying to its civil authorities, as they feel as- a sured it iain "all interested in tho prosperity of ? Atlanta, and in that of the Southern press. ! We are gratified in noticing tb<* foregoing action 11 of our City Council, andean assoie our brethren I F of the press of the South that every arrangement 1 calculated to make theil* stay in this city agreeable 11 will be made, We trust t hat ever}' paper in-the South will be represented in the meeting. The varied interests of the press, both daily and week ly,-absolutely demand that they should counsel ]' together.-Manta Intelligencer. j 3 The Athens Banner says: "Mr. S. W. Pruitt baa placed upon our table a specimen of ore from Gold Hf|l mine, about two miles from Auraria, Lump kin county, which exceeds in richness any speci? men we have seen from that section. The mine ia *? under the management of Mr. J. Newton, who ? realizes from five hundred to one thousand dollars per day, working but u small party. Mr. Pruitt informs ns that there are several other mines in E the sam? vicinity which yield a rich harvest of thc E precious metal to the owwrd."-Columbus Sun. h REMOVAL OP THE LIS ABILITIES OF SOUTHERN O POIJTICU\ANS.-Numerotis applications have been made to Congress for the passage of laws relieving certain of the leading politicians of the South who ? took part in the rebellion in order that they may tl more efficiently (as they say) support the recou- n atnietion act of CongreHB. Thus far, very properly, ? no favcrableresponBe has been made to this appli- b cation, and we think wc speak the sentiments ol' n many of the leading men in Congress when wc I say thatthis course will bo persevered in until ? the persons who'ask to be relieved from tho dis- ? abilities incurred by their treason shjU provo by their conduct that they are entitledTo auch o magnanimity* 1 Tho moment such proof- ia cl made clear wo have no doubt tho action desired Vb'l follow. Why it should bo insisted upon I 01 ?without such evidence passes our comprehen- st sion. The ex-Confederate chieftain who ia really Si anxious to exhibit his fidolitv to tho country and ", bis willingness to assist in carrying out the act of i] Congress, can make himself far more influential by prodaiming that he ia not Bpeaking for himself: si that he accepts tho penalties incurred by his re- cl? hellion, but that he advises all others to obey thc law and to fulfil tho conditions of Congress. Such Y( an example would change the ^difference of thousands into enthusiasm, and would eapeciallv endear the man who seta it to his own people anil to the Government itself. We have before us now a le^^r from a leading "Confederate," which bre*.:. i tho right spirit He advises a certain ? course, and says : "I liave, of course, no personal interest in tue question, since I am manifestly q, within the excluded class myself, and do not deem qi my exclusion a hardship in view of my past folly not to say crime."- Wellington Chronicle. ' at JOHN CHINAMAN NEXT.-Now that slavery haa been abolished, thc Radical anxiety to abolish F'T something else is taking definite shape in the at large meetings' now held in California to advocate the banishment of Chinamen from that State. The complaint is that the Chinese compete with native laborers by offering to work cheaper; that da they send the money they make in California to -J wi China, and that the introduction of a race eo to- < tally foreign to the la ws, language, religion and Ri dvflization of tho country, is questionable policy. J RI The opposition, at present, is directed against tho clt luge and wealthy companies having agents who j ,J transport coolies to California and hire out their tenor and services; but the real objection aeema nu to be that theChinese are coming in auch numbers, bb and tneir labor can be aecurcd at such low ratea Ni aa to threaten to dito out all other kinds of Nc labor and other classes of immigrants. j ll? . Jt is not denied that the Chinese aro faithful aer-1iiv ,.. -^:>v.y.- - . ..... vant? ami good workmen. They now lill nearly all tho menial positions iuSan Francisco and in Cali? fornia generally. The men cook, wash clothes, do house vork, ant perform other services that usually 1.0.1 to women, at very low rates of remune? ration! Tho number of them, however, is gotting tu bo alarming, and tho pooplo of California aro laking stors to check the incoming lido of Coolies. The anxiety to drive tho Chinoso from California will bo heightened by tho Tribune's announcement that "tho Republican party, from the St. John to the Pacific, is a imit for universal liberty and im? partial suffrage, regardless of casto, race or color." lilia gives tho elective franchiso to tho Chinese ns well as the colored man; and wheu the latest "All Nights to AH" manifesto reaches California it is highly probable that the Chinese will be immedi? ately requested to stand, not on the order of their going, but to goat once. On thc other hand, it is possible that Radicalism may .suggest the policy of "protecting" the thousands of Chinese already on our shores, and that a new Chinese Bureau, with thousands of salaried officials, will be deemed im? peratively necessary. _???? THE JEWS AND THE INSURANCE COMPANIES-Tho Jews of Cincinnati have sent to.their brethren in New York the proceedings of a meeting of Israel? ites held in that city on the 2d last, to consider the action of several insurance companies ol this city who refused to grant policies to Jews. The folio wing resolutions were adopted : "Whereas, It is known that the following in? surance companies, the Manhattan, Hanover, Niagara, Republic and Germania, of New York, the last fear constituting tho .Underwriter's Agency, have recently issued instructions to their agents not to insure the property of Jews; and, whereas, such an order being opposed to tho spirit of the age, and conceived in that of bigotry and fanaticism, we deem it our duty to "ourselves and co-religionists to protest against such action of said companies, and to denounce it as unjust and illiberal, and which, if passed over in silence, might be construed as on acquiescence in such proscription; therefore, be it . "Resolved, That we will not insure in any of the offices which have adopted, or shall hereafter adopt, the regulations mentioned above, nor will wo insure with any agonts for the above compa? nies, if tho persons occupying these positions should also continue to be the agents for any com? pany or companies which may have adopted, or may heroaftor adopt similar regulations,.and that wo will exert all the influence wo may respectively possess to induce otliors to pursue the same course we have indicated fur ourselves. '.Resolved, That those of us who now have in? surance in the olhoos abovo designated, or in arn? ot her offices adopting a like policy, will, as soon as convenient, withdraw all connection therewith. "Resolved, That tho city papers be requested to publish these resolutions." Mr. John H. Law, gouoral Cincinnati agent of tho Now York underwriters, publishes a card re? signing that position, hi consequence of the action ul thc abovo companies in the exclusion of Jews. NOTICE TO THE RADICALS.-BO it known (and, if possible, behoved) to all the world, (the Hon. Chas. Sumner included), that the Hon. Henry Wilson, member of tho United States Senate from Massa? chusetts, did, on the evening of the 4th instant, from the facade of Jarratt's Hotel, in this Cockade City, Military District No. 1, deliberately and (to all "appearance) without the fear of* man, deliver a public address on the late Military Reconstruc? tion BUI, and other political questions of the day, to a promiscuous assembly of whit o and colored citizens; and that to-day, the 5th of April, 1867, for aught that this deponent knoweth to the contrary, and according to his best belief, the said Hon. Mr. Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts, is living in his own boots, and in the foll and free enjoyment of his personal liberty, as if he were in the United States-the same hot having been jailed, abducted, bludgeoned, dirked, shot, hung, or in any other way mutilated, or dishonored, or sent on the other 9ido of the dreaded "bourne." And further : that the forementioned facts oro true, according to this deponent's conviction and belief, even in view of the adverse facts, that the said Hon. Senator has, from the first, sturdily re? sisted the President in his efforts to reconstruct the Southern States and to grant thom their rights under the Constitution ; and has been chargeai ile with no lac!: of zeal or dereliction of duty hi his efforts to reduce these States to their present con? dition of military subjugation. Whereupon, to this deponent it appears evident, (or at least pos? sible,) that some men may some time get to a worse place than rebel Virginia : and further, in this instrument, the deponent saith not.- Fd.

The Galveston News of the 31 st says : 1 'All that portion of lue city between the strand and the bay, from tho Hendley building down nearly to the city hospital, was flooded, and any. .one owning a skiff might have made a profitable business of it in carrying passengers to their offices and houses in the middle of this vast lake.1' COMMERCIAL.

Bs virtues are such as have secured it the high encomiums of all who have used jt, possess? ing, as it does, in an eminent degree, cathartic, diuretic, alterative and tonic qualities. From SAMUEL HENRY DICKSON. M. D., Professor Practice of Physic, Jefferson - Medical College, Phila? delphia, formerly of Charleston, 8; C.: ? ' .-X ? PHUABELPHIA, November B5, 1865. I have been for a year or more past in the habit oi taking the water of the "Excelsior" Spring of Saratoga.
