CnAPUH. , Not long since, e good looking man in.middle life came to our door, asking for M the minister," When informed that he was out of town, he seemed disappointed and anxions. On being questioned as to his business, he re plied: .. /. ^ ; s M I have lost my molher, and this place used to be her home, and as my father lie* here, we have come to lay her beside him." Our heart rose in sympathy, and we said, " You have met with a great loss!" M Well?yes," replied tl.e strong man, with hesitancy," a mother is A great loss in general ; but our mother had outlived her usefulness. 8he was in ber second childhood, and her mind whs grown a* weak aa her body, 10 (hat sho was no comfort to herself, and was a burden to everybody. There were sov* en of ua sons and" daughters ; and, as we could not find any one who would board her, we agreed to keep her among ua a year who't; but I have had more ' than my share of her, for she wm too feeble to be moved when mv time was out, and that was more than three - months before her death. But then she was a good mother in her day. and toiled very hard to bring ua up. Without looking at the face, of the . heartless man, we directed him to the house of a neighboring pastor, and re turned to our nursery. We gazed on tbe merry little faces which smiled or grew sad in imitation of ours, those little ones to whose ear no word io our language la half #o sweet aa " mother," and we wondered if that day could ever come when they would aay of us," She has outlived her usefulness?the i* no . comfort to herself, and a burden to ev~ - erybody else,"?and we hoped that before such a day would dawn we might be taken to our rest. God forbid that we should outlive the love of our children] Rather let ns die while our hearts are a part of their own, that our grave may be watered with their tears, and our love linked with their hopes of Heaven. When the "bell tolled for the mother's burial, we went to the sanctuary te pay our only token of respect to the aged stranger; for we felt that we could give her memory a tear, even though her own children bad none to abed. ** She was a good mother in hor dar, ancf tolled hard to bring us all no?she waa no comfort to herself, end a burden to evorybody else !"

'Ihectip-s [ -pled business interests of the South are to he lifted out of the stagnation caused 1 by the existing uncertainty.

As hot ween the Sherman, hill, pure and 1 simple, and the Sherman bill phis sev' eral years of additional di*fbt'clion, a reasonable people should not hesitate. K.llie Southem peoplo are ever to ' ro organize, under the Sherman bill, " they should do so (lib year, and there* v W gain the advantage of participating in the Viesider.tial election.

" If thev should reorganize m xt year, their constitutions II could not be submitted to Congress for r approval Until after the Presidential 0 election is past. The South has a fir " deeper stake than "any of us at the * North-in rescuing the government from 1 radical control,- and their votes would, in all probability, turn {he scale." e As to regro suffrage, which we suppose to be tho most odious feature of 0 the new scheme, the snipe niodeof rea * sotting is applicable. If negro suffrage 0 can be permanently prevented, there is ? sense in flghring it. Hut if the South * is to concede it at last, it would be bid. h tcr to accept it al once. Whatever 0 m?y be the ultimata decision, it seems ' tolerably certain that, dnring llto provisional period, while the South is held r under martial law, there will be negro 'J sulfmge any way.

It is the purpose of the-yadtcals to create. a sehisin in the wdiita vota nnd hv p reinforcing their 'own pnrt of it with 11 the negroes, to control the electipqs.

"Tu* Naw Bounty Bili. and a Nbw Suction a usu.??Tbere was a traiglit.seclioual contest over the boon ty bill in,the House, Friday?not, tbis 0 time, betweeu North and South, but be tween East and West, and the latter conquered by exactly its numercinl pqg ponjerHnce, without regard to party. And in the debate, as well as the voting, it was made clear that it was a.mere struggle.of bruie force, with the least possible regard to justice or any recognized principle. Mr. Schenck, of Ohio, who engineered the bill, undertook td play the despot, according to the prevailing style in that body, and refused ."to permit any attempt at amendment, but he did not carry such vigor of personal authority as does Air. Stevens, and the members grew restive under ituand refused to order-the previous question, thus opening the bill, to debate and 1 amendment. Mr.* Sobne'ck stated tbe ? amount of money required by the bill at anywhere from a hundrd to five hun* > fired millions?what is a hundred rnili lior.s more or less to a great nation like this } It was shown by the represent*? tives from the Eastern States and New ) York that the result of deducting buun j tics previously paid will be, that only the Western soldiers will gel the benefit of the-bill?that, in fuet, it will take, . several hundred millions from the sol - diers and people of the East, and put it . in tlio pockets of ilia soldiers of the e .West, for bounties that their own States \ kiiouiu pay tnern, it tney are io oe paiu e at all. To litis fair showing, which they >, did not undertake to deny, tho Western 8 members replied thai three times as many Eastern as Western soldiers de, set ted, and that the East cquld afford to e pay the money, because it had wrung . its wealth out of tho West by high tarf ififs^ and, moreover, they wanted to prove that, henceforth, the West is to t control in national legislation. So tho Western men stood together, Kopubli* y cans and copperheads, and imposed this s lax on tho East, for their own benefit, . by a vote of ninety-two to sixty-nine.? 0 To add to the aggravation "of ibis delibr orate act of robbery, Mr.Schenck coolly 1 tells its that this hill merely meets 1 the " lit at expectation of the soldier,' and he r hopes hereafter to bring bounties up to n 1 the highest standard paid.' This new t sectionalism starts oil' magnificently, in> deed, and it may soon become a qnos tioo how much ve have gained by ex ? cbaltgiug Southern for Western suprernr ncy." It. is extremely refreshing to hear a k radical abusing legislation " by brulo o force, 'and calling?for "justice and pi in i- eiple to hear a radical characterize the " prevailing style'' in the House of Kep s- resentalivc-s as " playing the despot," d and so forth.

The length of the canal or ditch is about twenty-five mile#, And the water, as now conducted, is within three hundred yards of the court house, and oan be used upon most of the valuable lota in this neighborhood. , The water was turned into the pipes across the high trestle on Saturday morning last, about ten o'clock, tb the gratification of n large number of citizens, who were present to witness its descent and ascent through the pipes, which, to the delight of the spectators, noted admirably, making a sluice of about ten square inches of water, or enough to run a twelve stamp pounding mill. Since the work has been com? pleted, the road has been thronged with people from ell sections, to witness its grand structure, And the rapid speed with which' the water passed through the pipes. The company is now operating on 990, within a half mile of the court house, with the Lose and pipe under tho superintendence of the able miner, Mr. 0, C. Peck, a gentleman who has beon sent here by the company to superintend the mining department, j Dr. M. H. Van Dyke, the Vice President of the company, has a pleasing face, upon having completed such a grand enterprise for the development of our mineral resources, which was inaugurated by himself, and which has such encouraging testimony that it will be one of profit to the stockholders, and be incidental in the Norihtrn capitalists seeking properly, and developing the j entire mineral resources of tbis portion 1 nf nonrrviti Wn r?i\n?foln1oln tlm Haa. tor and the enterprising company which he Represents, in the completion of a woik, the importances of which is undeniable, and repeat what old miners generally say, " that the process is exactly the one to obtain the gold," which ia known to exist in this section. The success of this country almost depends upon the results of this enterprise, as wo believe many Northern capitalists are now only waiting with a view of investing in the many valuable lots in this section ; should the company not succeed, all of such would become discouraged, and doubts would exist in their minds whether or not there was gold in the hills of Georgia. So, with these lights before us, every home loving man should pray for the success of .the company, in order that capital seeking investment, may come among us and help to build up our town and country, and place it among the most useful in the world. The fluming of the'Chestatee is now a fixed fact, as letters have been recently received from parties interested, stating that they will commence the operation within a few months. This one enterprise will cause an expenditure of nearly a half million of dollars in our country, whereby from the highest to the lowest will be made to feel its usefulness. God speed them in their enterprise, and may success attend them in their effort* in every instance. Dahloncgu, (f?a.) Signal. CoMPuoiiifiiso VVrru a Rodbbr.? On the 3d of October last, G. G.
