OUTRAGE NEAR GLENMORE-RBMARKA "BLE PRESENCE OP MIND.-Sevonil duys ago, a daughter of one of the citizens of Ware County, living near Glenmore,'.was passing from her fathor's house to that of a neighbor, when she was met by a ne? gro, who manifested violent intentions toward her person, and was proceeding to the execution of his diabolical design. Tho girl instead of screamiug, as niue tenth of females would probably have done, with romurkabloproseuco of mind, told tho brute "that there was som? money at the house, and that if ho would let her go, she would bring it to him." Not being very bright, wo presume, ho released her, and concealed himself upon tho spot, until sho should return. She did not retara horself, hut deputed her father and others, who vory cheerfully undertook the errand. Deponontsnyeth not what was the result of their iuterviow with tho ne?ro, and will not hazard an opinion.- Valdosta, Ga., Times. "These notos enliven mo," ns the man said, on receiving a remittance.

Our roodors will find in our issue- thia morning this address, which will be read with interest as giving the spirit of the reform movoment and the grounds upon whioh it is oom mended to the public.

Geherons Sentiments - In New York Oration or Senator easterly-Speech, ot Representative 'Cox. The New York Democracy celebrated the recent "Fourth" at Tammany. The wigwam was in a blaze. We have read with great satisfaction the sentiments of the speakers. They breathe a Spirit of consideration for ns of the South, and of determined opposition to the assaults of radicalism upon the popular institutions of the land. Senator Casserly, referring to the conditions imposed upon the South.af ter the surrender, said that ho honored the people! of the South for re? fusing to become the willing instruments of their own dishonor, by consenting to put tho brand of repudiation upon tboso mon who had sorved the Southern cause in'the cabinet and in the field. If, says Senator dasBorly, genuine harmony does not now prevail between tho South and North, it is because of the unwise and vengeful policy of the radical party. Ho said that, under the pr?sent state of affaira at Washington and elsewhere, under radical auspices, it was "asses and savaus to the front," and not "lo the centre," as Napoleon arranged it in Egypt. Mr. S. S. Cox made a speech, replete with sense and sentiment. He 8aid!: "We must watch euch movement of the radical janizaries. They have seized the powers of tho Stute, aud by arbitra? ry methods have turned thc very engines of our freedom aggressively upon the States aud tho peoplo. Montesquieu says that, 'as in democracies tho peoplo seem to act most as they please, this sort of government has been deemed most free; aud the power of the people has beeu confounded with their freedom.' It is true wo may havo tho templo of freedom while the spirit is absont from the shrine; or, if present, in tho form of a deformed aud degrading image. It is truo with us that, while the greater sovereignty has engrossed all lesser sovereignties, the re? public still exists. Thc beautiful Evau gel of Liberty taught by the Father of Democracy, Thomas Jefferson, in tho Declaration of Independence, hus been so tortured in its text aud misapplied in tho commeutaiy, that it reads, under radical light, moro liko the mummeries of some unearthly craft than tho pure, simple, well-ordered system of restraint and mod? eration embodied in tho local govern? ments and Federal Coustitution of thc United States! Usurpation and violence, uufratciuity and proscription, have mu? tilated our system. The present admin? istration, in its treatment of the South, has not exhibited a single element of charity or brotherhood. Tho only code of amnesty-five years after the end of civil strife-proposed by a radical louder - (spoons)-has in it so many exceptions that they outweigh tho modicum of gruco in the first section of this bill of hate. Not only aro States hold ia terror and ia thrall by the majority of an omni? potent Congress, but that body is now engaged in showing how, iu individual liberty, it can set aside tho Bill of Rights in tho Federul Constitution." And in conclusion, he went on to say: "Tho Democracy demand peace among the States, order among the people, and economy in the administration. Seoure these, and credit lifts up its head proud? ly! Bond-holder and plough-holder, tax? payer and tax-gatherer, all receive jus? tice. Currency becomes as good as coin. Public credit restores prosperity and gold and silver. No ono thou can traffic in our credit for private gain. As Go? vernor Seymour onco said, ,'Democratic faith seeks to level up. It means that coin shall ring again on the counter o? tho tradesman, glitter in the palm ol labor, and gladden tho heart of the wonuded soldier.' Honor, peace and welfare-theso will come with the end ol proscription against tho European emi? grant and the Southern citizen. Oui grass-grown ship-yards will again echo with tho sound of labor. Our docks will bo crowded with cargoes from tho fur? thest East and West. Bribery, fraud, 8cliomiug, and bounties will becomo ob? solete-as they wero unknown undci Democratic rufo. The millions of acres of our domain will not bo granted tc grasping monopolies. Tho Union in itt spirit, as in its form, will bo restored. No power will bo usurped which belongs to tho States, and no land monopolized which belongs to tho people. To bring about such au era is the Democratic aim. To bring about such changes we mus! cliug to tho ancient altars. Let us ad? jure eaoh other not merely to speak, bul to do well for tho republic-(lhere et facer?. History tolls us of an oath which rescued from tyrauny tho mountain ro publio of Europe-Switzerland. Lnsl year I visited that historio spot where tho confederates of Swiss freedom mot. It was on the promontory of Grulti, amidst tho majestic scenory of that land whero grand mountains mirror them? selves in splendid lakes. 'We swear,' exclaimed F?rst, Stauffaohcr, and Melch thal, extending their arms-'wo swear, in the presenco of God, to livo or die foi our fellow-countrymen; to undertake aud sustain all in common; neither to I'M ? i iWiiiMU?iii''Ui?i;.r-,i""" -1 'msmmtmtmmaBma\it\k,\utui Baffer injustice nor oommTTlBjaiy;"rio rospeot the rights of property; to do no violence to the i m period bailiff, but to pat ott;'end t<f~their tyranny. ' Tradition eays that three springs gashed from the ground beneath their feet, and they flow on to": this day-symb?lio of pure and perfect freedom. Well might such a miracle fellow an oath so foll Of gen? tleness and iustioe. Let ns renew at this altar of St. Tammany-on this natal day of freedom-nn oath to omit no exertion by deed or word until the elemental spirit and boautiful form of our consti? tutional freedom ia restored to the re? public in timi simple splondor aud unas? suming pomp which it wore when our Columbian Order was born!" THE NEW RAILROAD Buinas.-Wo learn that tho South Carolina Railroad Company contemplates withdrawing from the partnership in the new railroad bridge, which is now being built across the Savannah River. It will ho recol? lected that it woo ngreed last summer, between the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta and the South Carolina Railroad Companies, that the former should build a bridge across the Savannah River nt the foot of Washington street, for the construction of .which the South Caroli? na Railroad was to bear half the ex? penses, and the bridge, when completed, should bo owned and used by the two companies in common. Wo learn that some days since, vice-President Tyler, of the South Carolina Railroad, address? ed a letter to President Johnston, of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail? road, iu which ho expressed a desire to withdraw from the agreement. He also wrote that ho had submitted the agree? ment to the attorney of the road, and the latter was of the opiuion that it was not binding, as the bridge had been mort? gaged by tho Charlotte Road, and the South Carolina Road could not, conse? quently, have a half interest in tho mort? gaged structure. Col. Johnston, how? ever1, we understand, submitted tho ques? tion to legal authority-telling him that the piers of the bridge had not yet been finished, and that all the advances made for material, ho had considered made on the joint account of the railways-and was advised that the agreement was bind? ing. What will be the final result of these negotiations, has not yet transpir? ed.-Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, The Board of Visitors of the Naval Academy at Annapolis have concluded their examinations of the cadets for the class of 1871, to commence next Septem? ber, and have reported agaiust a large number of them, a majority of those re? jected being from the Southern States. The fact that the boys from tho Southern States have had but meagre chances for schooling during tho past ten yours, hus induced Secretary Robeson to direct that they be allowed to continue their studies until September next, and stand another examination, and he hopes that they muy be thereby enabled to pass. Ho hus to fill the vacancies made by the failure of the candidates, and ho has expressed a desire that tho Southern States should have their just share, and he made the above order not only as au act of justice to the boys, but as au acknowledgment of the claims of the members of Con? gress and people of that section. "A SNUB FROM THU SOUTH."-This is what tho New York Tribune calls the re? cent refusal of the Southern Presbyte? rian Church to unite with their North? ern brethren, and, ofter a column of comment on tho matter, comes to the conclusion that there is no prospect of a rc-union in the present generation be? tween tho churches North and South. Dr. Pidmcr is disposed of in a paragraph which is, doubtless, intended to bo aw? fully facetious, but is simply a bit of "loil" gloating over tho fact of his not having a yote. while his negro servaut has. Tho Tribune is never so happy as on an occasion like this, when au oppor? tunity presents itself for a gush over Sambo and the chance of spelling rebel? lion with a capital R, thus: Rebellion. We kuow a minister who was generally able to keep his cougregatiou wido awake, but who, on ono occasion-it was a sultry summer day-observed numbers of them asleep. Ho resolved to nip tho evil practice in the bud. So taking a good survey of tho sceno before and around him, he exclaimed, "I saw an advertise? ment last week for five hundred sleepers for a railroad. I think I could supply it at least fifty, and recommend them as good and sound." It is perhaps need? less to add thal the supply instantly van? ished. AWFUL TIMES IM NEW YOIIK.-A broil? ing sun pouring down embroided the lower stratum of society in murderous feuds. The Herald heads its Monday's report of Sunday's record of crime thus: "Tho dovil let loose. Reveling in rum. The pistol, knife and club. Criminals on tho rampage, murders, assassinations, frays and assaults. The Rowdies' Satur? day night and Sunday morning. A Ter? rible record of crime." Tho Sun strings out tho doleful calendar under the cap? tion, "Saturday night murders." PnosE POETRY.-John Dibbs fell in love with a maid; each night 'neath her window ho stood, and there, with his soft serenade, ho awakened tho wholo neigh? borhood. But vainly ho tried to arouso her from sleep with bia strains so be? witching while ho played in front of the house, she slept in the little back kitchen. Belgium, a little kingdom of 11,382 square miles-about tho size of Mary? land-gives comfortable support to over 5,OOO.OOO peoplo, or about 500 to tho square mile. Georgo R.

'COVEUE?O ?p THJE SOAR.-There ia so muoh of foroible reasoning, os well ns 1 fitness of illustration, in the following, that Wo anxiously com tuend it to such as doom it a religions duty to expose the foibles of adversaries fa all polemic con? tests: > Wpen an eminent painter was request? ed to paint Alexander the Great, so as to givo a perfect likeness of the Macedo? nian conqueror, ho felt a difficulty. Uexander, in his wars, had been struck by a sword, nud across his forehead was nu immonse scar. The painter said: "If I retain the scar, it will be nn offence to the admirers of the monarch, and if I omit it, it will fail to be a perfect like? ness-what shall I do?" Ho hit upon a happy expedient; ho represented tho Emperor leaning on his elbow, with his fore-finger upon his brow,-accidentally, as it seemed, coveriug the scar upon his forehead. Might not we represent each other with tho finger of charity upon the scar, instead of representing tho scar deeper and blacker than it actually is? Might not Christians learn from heathen? dom a lesson of charity, of human kind? ness and of love? HINTS FROM A. POSTMASTER.-When you call at the office for your mail, nnd the postmaster bauds it out, ask him if that is all. If you ask for mail and he tells you th^re is none, tell him there ought to be, and go homo aud send the rest of the family around to ask ot different times through the day. Don't bring your muil to the offico until the mail closes, then curse the post? master for not unlocking the mail .bag and putting your letter in. When you want a stamp put ou yonr lotter, tell the postmaster to put it on; if he don't lick it yon liok him. In case yon put tho stamp on yourself, soak it in your mouth long enough to remove all the mucilage It will then ?tick till it is drv. Ile suro to ask the postmaster to credit you for stamps, and if he has any ac? commodation about him he will do it. If yon have a box, stand and drum on it until tho postmaster hands out your mail; it makes him feel good, especially if ho is waiting on some ono else. LEARNED LADIES.-Miss Marin Mitch? ell has been made Professor of Astrono? my by Vassar College. Heaven help her husband-if she over secures one. Learned women never made good house? wives. Wo have known many such wo? men in our day, both in this country and in Europe, but not a solitary one happy in her domestic relations. Not one. Tho moment you educate ono of tho sex up to the standard of rare distinction, you unfit her for domestic duties, you unfit her for ber proper family position. She must wed a milksop and beeomo the bend of the family herself, or else her married lifo will bo a perennial sceuo of quarrel, petty biokeriugs and acuto no tious. A learned women may be happy us an "old maid;" she never can bo as a wife and mother. It is a pity; but it is the truth. A celebrated divine, who was remarka? ble in the first period of his ministry for a boisterous mode of preaching, sudden? ly changed his whole manner in the pul? pit, and adopted a mild and dispassion? ate mode of delivery. One of his breth? ren observing it, inquired of him what had induced him to make the change He answered, "When I was young I thought it was the thunder that killed tho people, but when I grew wiser, I dis? covered it was the lightning, so I de? termined in future to thunder less and lightning more." "Jenn3- June" writes in her last fash? ion letter: "Undoubtedly there will be au effort made to revivo trailing skirts for tho street, but as yet there is no evi? dence of it upon tho promenade. Ou the contrary, many ladies who have been accustomed to wearing very long in-door dresses are having black grenadines, Summer silk and tissues made short for the house, reserving the demi-trains ex? clusively for evening wear." MOCK BIRDS.-Wo have two of these in Sandersville, that have been taught to whistle Dixie, aud while we write, one of these, belonging to Captain llenfroe. is making the air vocal with his melody, Dixio is only a part of his performance, for ho mimics every bird that he hears, and has caught a strain, iu one or two waltzes.-Sandersville Georgian. Editors do not always think of their smart things on the spur of tho moment; but ono of them down iu Now England got in a good repartee tho other day. Daniel Pratt, a great bore, came with his customary introdnctiou: "I am tho Great American Traveler!" "Well, travel," was tho reply he got. A cotemporary thinks that, as every man considers himself infallible, it is rather uncharitable to deny that tho Popo is not similarly endowed with free? dom from error. A non-German-spoaking census-taker in a Teutonic New York district has le signed. Ho found every family named Nichtsverstay, and that was all tho in? formation he could gather. A well-known printer, being called on to reply to a toast, said: "Gentlemen, I thank you most heartily; I can't mako a speech; but 1 can print one as long as you like." It is a couceded fact that the principal deities which tho coolies worship, aro Sto Ling, Loa Ping, Slo Ping, Li lng and Cho Tiug.

A subscription paper is being carried around for the benefit of Mrs. Huffman and family, who were burnt out ou San day last. Tt is hoped and believed that tho unfortunates will be gladdened by a liberal subscription. Old newspapers eau bs obtained at the PJIONIX Office, at low figures. The cheapest wrapping paper that can be used. Essence of pennyroyal, freely sprin? kled around a house, will drive fleas away and keep tho house free from their visits. Thymol, properly called thymio acid, in recommended os a new disinfectant, in some respects preferable to carbolic acid. From soveral observations communicated by A. Paquet, it appears that in the un? diluted state, it is a powerful escharotic, ; useful especially to remove warts and cauterize hollow teeth, in which cases it acts without producing pain, and gives the "breath a far more agreeable odor than carbolic acid. Terrapin soup, positively the best of thc season, will be served up, to-doy| at the Exchange House. It seems that Congressman Hugo's ap? pointee to West Point is to bo admitted, after all. Tho New York Sun says: "It is finally settled beyond nll ques tion that we aro to havo a negro cadet nt West l'oint, as James William Smith, tho colored boy from Columbia, S. C., has passed the examination and gone into enmp with his white comrades. The feeling on this subject at West Point, and through tho conntry, luis become in? tense. The officers and professors at West Point do not express their feelings freely, but properly maintain a discreet official reticecco upon the exasperating question. Not so with tho cadets, how? ever. They are outspoken; nnd their feelings, as expressed to our reporter be? fore the result of the examination was known, were so deep and solemn as to seem comical."
