" She Has Outlived Her Usefulness."
' 1 '
' BY MR8. 3. 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 !" These cruel, heartless
words rung in our ears as we saw
the coffin born up the aisle.' The. beU
tolled long itnd \oiid, until its "irotx
tongne had chronicled the y4ars\if lli/
toil-worn mother. Of>e??t stow three

What will t|he South So ?
If the South is ever to accept cf ne"

1 ing Constitutional amendment at a con'
diiion of restoration, there are manifest
5 advantages in not postponing tKI an?
other year what they may be brought
? to do at Inst. _r. ^
Whatever may be th? ultimate basis
' on which this great controversy is set
lied, there must be advantages- in the
?, early adoption of thai basis.' 'Ihectip-s
[ -pled business interests of the South are
to he lifted out of the stagnation caused
1 by the existing uncertainty. To posl"
po.ne reconstruction tinder Sherman's
bill for the enlce of restoration under the
1 simple unamended Constitution, would
' be wise and reasonable delay? b'ut to
postpone reconstruction on tire new plAn,
. to adopt the samo or some 'similar plan
three or five yoars hencej, would be
short-sighted, passionate folly. Every
year"of military-governnterrt puts back
- the recti pern ti<m of'the South, ' and
^ (what is worse) accustoms tbo federal
governifienl'add the Northern people to
r th4 dangerous practice of domination.
.The losses and dangers thus entailed
* may be reasonably accepted in the perSl
-istent piltsuit of compensating ends;
but not gratuitously-?not ait a halting
1 place at which tlie South only loses
time, property, and- quiet,.to enter at
' last on the st?me repudiated path. 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.they
1 fortn new Stale constitutions during the
summer Htid autumn, and present them
to Congress for acceptance af next win
; tot's stasion, their ajxty or seventy votes
I iri'Ky determine tlje le*u!i; but post
~ ponejnent till next year would shut tftem
out completely, and might be the mono*
* of subjecting them to lour years more
of radical t\ranny. " 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. In every State, ex.!
cept '.South Carolina, the whites out:
number the black* ; and, if thev are
united, they can elect all the officers".
? 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. H
^ the Southern people promptly accept
v tfie situation, they -can fm*:rute this
I de-igri. -ft .is he*, ter to welcome the ne.
ft gro vote and rontrol it, than, by inef
l" factual resistance, to sour anil exa*per<
* ate tho negro mind, and thus surrender
II it, n* a ptMitiowl tool, into tho hands ol
the radicals. The interest of the negroe*
~ is the interest of their section; and (hey
l. can easily be made to perceive it.
1 Mere perseverance without unity will
" protil nothing. If the Southern people
_ .split en lids question, the dissenting mi
.\ nority will nnito with the nrgrnes, and
1 with litem, sooiv become a majority, re'*
organize the State, and get admitted tc
J.? Congress. Whether this can he per'
manenlly prevented we are no judges
\ and our SotUbern fe low citizen* are.?
4 it all depends upon whether the whoh
Southern pedple are sound to the core

Quarreling Over the Spoils.
Our New England and New York
compatriots are in a most unbecoming
state of ill buqaor. Head the following,
from the Springfield Kepubhoai, (radi
cal r) .
. "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. But the most interesting
o- mailer is the depute between tlie r.a?t
>f and West, as to which Side furnished
r llie most deserters !
t, No dotibt, gentlemen of New England,
n it is very hard to have llooviers for tuasle
ters, but you will have to stand it.
Tiik Prevailing Commercial Dkj
t!itK83ioN.?rThe following statements
y regauling the present commercial dej.
pression are from the New York Finan
cial Chronicle, a journal which the Lorn
^ don Economist justly praises as M a most
admirable financial journal, which all
persons interested in American finances
- should heedfully study ' "
g Complaints are universal of the staga
nation aud the unprofitableness pf bu>i?
riess. A spring season so depressed and
si generally unsatisfactory at the present,
r, is hardly within the memory of our city
it merchants. . The trade of the irlcrior
10 is generally reported dull and uoprotniaIs
ing. Although the South has realized
g upon a largo portion of its cotton crop,
id it U found devoid of trading spirit, and
r- even unable to liquidate much of its in
e- debtednoss on account of last year's purie
chases. In the Western States, mcr?
ut chants conplain of unusunl difficulty in
n. making their collections, and have on
bl hand a heavy balance of fall stock ; the
er result being lhat their obligations to
ig the Atlantic cities, in many cases, have
.a, to bo renewed for thirty to sixty day$.
hi The New England cotton mills find the
if. demand for their troods so limited, oom
tie pared will* their production, (hat at'the
ti, beginning of this ufbnth tome of the
tie manufacturers made'a still further curer
tailinent of their time of running. The
ro woolen trade, now one of our most ex?
fd tensive industries, although it recently
? diminished its aggregate production
">d quite twenty per cent., Sods little relitist
from the reduced supply ol goods, and
ne manufacturers have to sell a larg<
amount of their products at n ditcouul

This wonderful company have at laal
succeeded in accomplishing their ironoitnnt
ivorlc of hrlnmncr UtfasUr r?f
tlin Yahoola to bear upon the rich hills
of Lumpkin, with an expenditure of
nearly four hundred thousand dollars.
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

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.

George Calvert, who escaped
money. Since that lime two
have been endeavoring to find CaWartuf >.
and on Saturday succeeded in arrda'tinjp^jt
him in Montreal, wbeie he had rented^
a home and fixed it up in elegant style.
The detectives found $35,000 of the
money in Calvert's trunk. When it
was discovered that the money thua
fo.ind could not be recovered without a
long civil suit, as this was technically a
case of oinbezzlementnot reached by the
extradition treaty,it was'proposed by the
robber to compromise the affair. Calvert
at first declined to give up any of
the property found, but finally proposed
to surrender the $35,000 on condition
that 'he firm, one of whom was present,
would give him $400 in gold coin, and
1 and absolute possession of the furniture
found in his residence. Hard and imr
pudent as the terms were, they were acceded
to, and the firm suffers by tha
robbery a loss of about $5,000, without
1 any immediate prospsct of punishing
the offender.
