AUciIIUTA, tiA..
SATURDAY MORNING July 2T.1867
Returning to the Union.
Some of our tricMidi seem averse to
going tiack into tho Union at all uuL-a*
allowed to do so in a conch and four,
with driver, footman, and outriders in
livery. Some appear to thiiik that they
can quarrel their way hack, others have
conceived the brilliant idea of achieving
success by stratagem, others whom too
much poetry and novel reading have
“made mad,” talk in the Ereles vein,
look dramatic, and strut to ruin after
the manner of the old classic heroes, or.
if of a pious turn, ussume a sanctimoni
ous aspect, and discourse on the honors
of martyrdom, while some of the rougher
sort clench their fists, grit their teeth,
and with patriotic blasphemy swear
that they will die before they will move
a peg.
All this may sound well in history,
lowa centuries hence, ii history shall
find room for the nnmes ot these gentle
men, which no one, of course, can
seriously doubt I lint should their
history ever be written by a muu ol
philosophic mind, he will probably write
that they mistook passion for patriotism,
obstinacy for firmness, and sacrificed
their State on the altar of their egotism.
Happily, their is another class which
is distinguished by a more practical
cast of uiind. They are for remedying
and not aggravating and multiplying
evils. All the biographers of the “Iron
Duke - ’ concur in the opinion that the
secret of his wonderful success was the
possession of this same practical cas 1
of mind, which enables men to exhibit
au adaptation of action und means to
circumstances. He never permitted
preconceived ideas of a pet theory to
lead him into tactical errors. Nor did'
he conduct his campaigns in that nice
fashion which made his Spanish and
Portuguese allies so inefficient. When
he found bridges destroyed, as at Donro,
he did not decline crossing and turn
back, not did he wait for a bridge to be
constructed. He plunged his troops
into the river and accomplished his
purpose. They got wet, but were not
drowned. let us imitate his example.
We have made our way to the river of
reconstruction, ana are standing on its
margin. There is no bridge to carry
us over in a comfortable manner. Shall
we turn back in disgust ? Or shall we
rather take to water, if wedogtt a little
wet?
Adaptability and the renunciation of
old habits and fixed forms of thought
and feeling are wbat we require. It is
not the first time in history that men
have been compelled to forego their
favorite theories and systems. The
Saxons, of whom Scott’a " Cedric” was
a true type, were stern and seif willed—
but they finally found it necessary, in
the language of this period, to accept
the situation. They would have suffered
less had they submitted sooner. Those
of the present day who are seeking for
what they call an honorable place in
history, may loarn a lesson from this
Saxon example. The aspect in which
they are presented to us is that of stolid,
stupid, dogged obstinacy.
We might refer to numerous instances
in which nations have had to renounce
old ideas and systems and accept new
ones—and without dishonor. Honor is
shown in the struggle of arms—in
resisting so long as the ability to resist
continues. In such a contest the van
quished may acquire more honor than
the victors. Let ns not tarnish the
laurels we won in an unequal struggle,
by refusing, when the battle has been
lost, to accept the result of that form of
trial to which we appealed.
Lot us make up our minds to go hack
into the Union in the appointed modei
and to adapt ourselves to the circum
stances and necessities of our situation,
neither waiting for a miracle from
heaven, nor for that long expected but
never to be realized reaction at the
North, which some over sanguine people
still talk about.
The above dissertation on the state
of affaire, as now presented, should
be considered with calmness, and pre
judice bo laid aside- It is from tho
Richmond Whig, one of the best edited
papers in Virginia.
[From the Savannah Republican.

The lion. B. 11. Hill 3poke in Atlanta
on the Kith instant. Though the Hun.
B. H. Hill has delivered many hundred
thousand speeches, this is the first we
have ever read, and though he may
deliver many hundred thousand more,
it is the last that we shall attempt to
read. There is something in this speech,
however, that tells us Mr. Hill will
alwuys have one willing auditor who
will hang amorously on the music of
his voice—one to whom Mr. Hill is
fondly attached, a sympathizing spirit
that will admiringly listen to his elo
quence, even when soliloquizing. Women
are proverbially talkative, and have
tongues, the traditional length ol'which,
no mathematician has been able to
compute ; it is also a household truth
that children, in the innocence of their
tender intellects, prattle incessantly;
but we will pit the Hon, B. 11. Hill
against any sour spinster or most inter
eating nursery in the Slate ol Georgia.
In truth, he iH an untrue “talkist,” and
nothing more. There is a happy man
described by Spencer, whose beatitude
consisted in reposing “in eternal silence
far from enemies.” The Hon. B. H.
Hill never had a moment of silence (for
wu are credibly informed he talks even
in his sleep), but he bus certainly eu
joyed the repose that cannot be fouud
in the presence of the enemy. The
honorable gentleman evidently has the
aamo opinion that Prior had of the
Songs of Solomon, to wit: “ Solomon is
the person that speaks; he is at once
the hero and the author.”
From what a lofty pyramid of plati
tudes does this unenlisted soldier wave
his borrowed swim! 1 How vigorously
this literary Todleben throws up his
battlements of mnd after tho Hag of
truce has been hoisted over tho
captured citadel! What a battal
ion of technicalities he marches forth
as soon as the terms of capitulation have
been signed ! Brave Warrior of Words,
commanding an Invalid Corps of Rhet
oric I What an enthusiasm you will
create among the gallant dead whose
heroic struggle you witnessed— from a
distance I
The buried conscript whom yon
forced into a war against the Constitu
tion, will resurrect in pure admiration
when he hears your pathetic defence of
that ssme Constitution. The broken
hearted Southern mother, ’the grief
stricken wife, the impoverished orphan,
will dash carelessly asido their tears
when they learn that your “voice is still
for war.” The sacrifices you made, the
valor you displayed upon every battle
field, waged for the destruction of the
Union, is a guarantee of the disinter
ested anxiety that agitates your bold
bosom tor preservation.
When did you become, Mr. Hill, a
moral reformer of your early vices,
under the license of a pnrdon promise?
It is evident you love the Constitution.
It was your childhood’s creed, but
seems to be the dim remembrance of
your dotage.
“ Do not abandon your rights—talk
for them.” [Enthusiastic and pro
longed applause]. Benjamin, cannot
you do something better than talk? Is
it not an aphorism that deeds are better
than words? The military bill, yon tell
us, is unconstitutional. Does the poor
man that has lost an arm feel it less
because he lost it unconstitutionally ?
Does the returned Confederate soldier
with a wooden leg, limp the less because
he limps unconstitutionally? Rhetoric
such as yours told him to make the sac
rifice. Can rhetoric such as yours
restore what credence to your voice has
lost him ? Do you not carry in your
pocket a pardon, written upon parch
ment, obtained by a supplicating peti
tion for a remission of crimes against
the very Constitution for which you now
profess to be so ardent an advocate ?
Does not the acceptance of that
pardon constitute a promise to do
different from what you are now doing?
Was there not implied in the clemeney
of the Executive and the special humil
iation that you alone, of nil Georgians,
underwent—a promise not to oppose,
directly or indirectly, any law of the
United States Government unconstitu
tional ? Are you a Supreme Court, or
even an Inferior Court, that you should
talk so flippantly of questions that the
highest tribunal in the land has refused
to entertain ? You talk about “ perjured
traitors 1 ’ Mr. Hill, if there is a “ per
jured traitor” in the State you can be
registered in that list. You have
violated no parole, for you never fought;
but you hare, violated an “ amnesty,
which means forgetfulness, and a
pardon, which means forgiveness.”’
NEWS SUMMARY.
A Handsome Amount. —The heirs of
Solomon Ingraham are to meet in New
York on July 2-fth, to make final
arrangements to get possession of the
property which they claim in England,
that property being no less a prize than
the land on which stands the thriving
citv of Leeds. The property is valued
at $50,000,000.
Searching for Vat.uabi.es. —The
Portland Argus says that two wrecking
vessels are still engaged at the scene of
the Bohemian disaster and valuables
are frequently brought to the surface,
as well as iron, etc. A large roll of
silk was secured other day which
was almost as good as now, it having
been protected by a huge piece of iron.
Labor vs. Capital. —The proprieUrs
of the cotton mills in Allegheny, Penn
sylvania, made a reduction of twenty
per cent, on ttie salaries of the ope
rators. The latter refused to work at
the reduced rates, whereupon the mills
were closed, but it is said are to be
reopened, employing the females in the
families of the German pucidltrs who
recently arrived.
A Penetrating Horse. —A horse,
which was nearly blind, became fright
ened in Layton, Ohio, on the 2d inst..
and running against a small frame
house, crushed through the weather
boarding mid studding, turned over a
cupboard and broke the dishes, and
broke some glass in the windows near
the breach in the wall. The horse
broke his neck in the remarkable feat,
and died instantly.
A Gentle Reminder. —Gen. Brax
ton Bragg, Superintendent of the New
Orleans waterworks, charges General
Sheridan’s appointees in the street com
mission with a waste of water in clean
ing the streets, and threatens a prose
cution. The commissioner replies that
no more water is used than necessary,
and retorts that a prosecution may be
followed by a substitute of officers for
the walerworks company.
Maximilian to Carlotta. The
following is pronounced by some of our
Northern exchanges as spurious, how
ever, as a matter of interest we give it:
My Beloved Carl tta —If God permit
Jhat your health get better, and you
should read these few lines, you will
learn the cruelty with which fate has
stricken me since your departure for
Europe. You took along with you, not
only my heait, but my good fortune.
Why did 1 not give heed to vour voice ?
So many untoward events! Alas! so
many sudden blows have shattered ail
my hopes, so that death is but a happy
deliverance—not an agony—to me. 1
shall die gloriously, like a soldier, like
a king vanquished, but not dishonored.
If your sufferings are too great, and
God should call you soon to join me, I
shall bloss His Divine hand, which has
weighed so heavily upon us. Adieu,
adieu ! Your poor Max.
A Scotchman’s View or Adam.—
There must have been some curious
specimens of Scottish humor brought
out at the examination or catechising
by ministers of the flock before the ad
ministration of the communion, Thus,
with reference to human nature before
tbo fall, a man was asked? “What
kind of a man was Adam?’ “Oh, just
like other folk.” The minister insisted
on having a more special description
of the first man, and pressed for more
explanation. “Weel, said the Scotch
man, “he was just like Joe Simpson,
the horse eotiper.” “How so?” asked
the minister “Weel, naebody got
anythin by him, and many lost.”
Seriooi Mistake.
-4 Married Man Goes to the Wrong
Bed and Wakes up the W, ong I‘wi
se uger.
From the St. Loots Times, 12th.]
Mr. Z. lives on Market street, in a
certain house, hearing a certain num
ber. He is the happy |His.seKsor of a
wife and a score or moro of children,
is well blessed with this world’s goods,
and of course is much admired and
patronized by all his neighbors.
Mr. Z. is also a public spirited man,
and nothing delights bin: more than
to see some work of internal improve
ment. He attends all meetings and
other gatherings looking toward the
promotion of those objects, and was
never known to be backward in subscrib
ing to anv cause calculated to advunco
the best interests of St. Louis.
Having given this short history of
the man and his aspirations, it is
unnecessary to add that he was present
at the Millers and Flour Merchants’
Convention, held at the Merchants’
Exchange, last Wednesday, and made
one or two vigorous speeches.
When evening came it required but
little urging to prevail upon him to stay
at the banquet. Being of a social
nature, and much interested in the
objects of the convention, bo came to
the conclusion that if ho could advance
those objects by taking his seat at a
well filled supper table and putting
down a few glasses of Ileidsick, he
would do it; and so Mr. Z. stayed.
It was late—or early, rather—when
the company broke up to go home.
There is nothing extraordinary in this
circumstance, but our duty as a faithful
historian compels us to disclose the fact
that Mr. Z. was slightly fuddled; or,
if this is too harsh a term, elevated.
His eyes fairly twinkled with mem
inent, and he became possessed with
such an inordinate desire for speech mak
ing that he was only silenced by a
couple of gentlemen clapping their
handkerchiefs over his mouth und
him leading from the room.
In this unsteady, uncertain, and totter
ing condition, Mr. Z. was conveyed to
his home and left at the street door.
Here ho dismissed the kind friends
who had piloted h im, with a paternal
blessing, and then addressed himself
to the task of getting into the house and
to bed without arousing tho partner of
his bosom. T his undertaking, however,
involved considerable difficulty. Their
sleeping room was in the second story,
third door from the stairway landing,
and although Z. ’ could have found it
well enough at other times, yet at this
particular juncture he felt mighty un
certain. lie opened the door softly
and commenced to creep up stairs.
It seemed to him as though he
weighed a ton, for each and every stair
seemed to groan and squeak with pain,
and in an agony of desperation he
clung to the bannisters. Arriving at
the top he groped around in the darkness
until his hand came in contact with
the knob of the door, and imagining
that it led to the couch where reposed his
partner in the dreams of innocence,he
turned it sos tly and entered. He would
not light the gas, hut disrobed in the
dark, and oil' came his coat, vest, and
pants, and last his boots, lie thought
that he could not be mistaken in the
room, for he detected articles of dress
such as could be worn by none but a
feminine.
He tangled himself in a set of hoops,
stumped his toe against some French
corsets, and mentally swearing at Mrs.
Z. for leaving her things where he
could stumble over them, shuffled up
slowly to the bedside, and, turning
down the clothes, was in the act of plac
ing his leg beneath, when a piercing
scream broke out upon the midnight
air and a white robed figure jumped
like lightning from the bed, and going
to the window, shouted. “Help, help,
save me ; it’s man 1” The whole house
was soon in an uproar. A policeman,
t iree blocks distant, hearing the hub
bub, started for the scene, shaking his
rattle vigorously as he ran ; but Mrs.
Z. who slept iu theroom adjoining, was
the first to rush to the rescue. Wo shall
not attempt to describe the sight that
met her eyes on bursting open the door.
There in a corner, screaming with
might and main, was the young lady
guest that she had invited to spend the
evening with her, and there by the
bedside stood Mr. Z. in pur is not
un lilrus, looking as though he had
been fooled by Balaam’s ass, and was
about to be turned out of green pastures.
Mrs. Z. gave one long agonizing look
and muttered out: “Oh 1 you naughty,
naughty man, and then tumbled back
ward in a dead faint, while the unfeel
ing wretch alluded to sat down in a
chair, passed his hand over his brow
once or twice, and exclaimed : “Well
I’ll he cursed !”
lie had strayed into the wrong room.
We are happy to state that the matter
is now settled, in consideration of his
promising to never stay out another
evening later than 10 o’clock.
The Seat of the Affections. —lt
has been well suggested that there is
no authority in history, mythology,
metaphisics or physiology, for placing
the headquarters of Cupid in the heart.
She cradle of that god, for aught we
know to the contrary, is in the lungs
or liver. Indeed a most distinguished
disciple of /Esculapius says that love is
a creature of the stomach, and depends
upon the gastric juices for support.
Perhaps he is right. And in fact there
is a good deal of plausibility in his
theory, and yet, if a lover should say to
his adored: “Miss, permit me to lay
my stomach and fortune at your feet,
she would think it an odd way of pop
ping tbo question. Conventionalities
without any foundation have sometimes
the force of facts, and that important
muscle which acts as the vital pump
and distributing reservoir of the system
having been assigned so Cupid as bis
residence from time immemorial, we
must assume him to be there, although
no trace of him can be found on dissee
tion. It is, however, a palpable ab
surdity to represent the heart of lovers
as in flames or transpierced with bar
bed arrows, because it is manifest that
a person with the vital organ in a state
of combustion or on a shower, would be
incapable of courting.

ASIATIC CHOLERA IN CHINA
Almost every case cured with
P A I N__K IL LEE.
[From Rev. R. Telford, Missionary in
China, now visiting his home in Penn.]
Washington, Penn., June 25, 1866.
Messrs. Perry Davis Sod, Providence,
R. I.—Dear Sirs : —During a residence of
some ten years as a missionary in Siam
and China, I found your Vegetable Pain
Killer a most valuable remedy for that
fearful scourge, the t holera.
In administering the medicine I found it
most effectual to givo a teaspoonful of Pain
Killer in a gill ot hot water sweetened with
sugar; then, after about fifteen minutes
begin to give about a tablespoonful of the
same mixture overy minute until relief was
obtained. Apply hot applications to tho
extremities. Rathe the stomach with the
Pain Killer, clear, and rub the limbs briskly.
Os those who hail the Cholera, and took the
medicine faithfully in the way stated above,
eight out of tea recovered.
Truly yours,
R. TELFORD.
If attacked with tho Diarrhoea, Dysen
tery, Cramp Colic, don’t delay the use of
tho PAIN KILLER.
Titngchow, China, August 2D, 1866.
Messrs. Perry Davis d? Sous.—Dear
Sirs : —During a long residence in China, I
have used your invaluable Pain Killer,
both in my own family and among the
Chinese, and have found it a most excel
lent medicine. Iu the summer of 1862 and
'6B, while residing in Shanghai, 1 found it
an almost certain cure for Cholera, if used
in time. Indeed, using it in a great many
instances, I do not remember failing in a
single case. For three years I have been
residing in this place, more than fifty miles
from a physician, and have been obliged
often to fall upon my own lesources in cases
of sickness. The Chinese come to us in
great numbers for medicine and advice.
Though without medical knowledge our
selves, the few simple remedies we can
command are so much in advance even of
their physicians, that wc have almost daily
applications We allow them to come,
because it brings us in contact with them,
and opens a door of usefulness. In diar
rhoea, colic, vomiting, cholera, coughs, etc.,
your PAIN KILLER has been my chief
medicine. * * * -* *
Yours, very truly,
T. P. CRAWFORD.
Perry Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer
I have used the medicine known as
PERRY DAVIS’ VEGETABLE PAIN
KILLER in my family, for the last twelve
months, and have great pleasure in testify
ing in favor ol its very valuable properties.
I would not on any account bo without it.
During the existence of the cholora last
year I used no medicine of any sort but
the Pain Killer, although myself and sev
eral members of my family were attacked
by it severely, and I am happy to say that
the Pain Killer was equal to every emer
gency—it was both a preventive and a
certain cure. I consider I should not be
doing my duty to the community did I not
say this much, if I were attacked by the
cholera to-day the Pain Killer should he
the only remedy. 1 would use. I have thor
oughly tested it, and know it can bo relied
on. F. E. BEKGINSEND,
Galena, Illinois.
Those using Pain Killer should strictly
observe the following directions :
At the commencement of the disease,
tako a tcaspontul of Pain Killer in sugar
and water, and then bathe freely across the
stomach and bowels, with l’aiu Killer,
clear.
Should the diarrhoea and cramp continue,
repoat the dose every fifteen minutes. In
this way the dreadful scourge may bo
checked, and the patient relieved in tbo
course of a few hours
N. 11.—Be suro and get tho gonuino
article; and it is recommended by those
who have used tho Pain Killer for the
cholera, that in extreme cases tho patient,
take two (or more) teaspoonfuls instead of
one.
We ask the attention of the public to
this long tested and unrivalled family med
ioine.
The Pain Killer is, by universal consent,
allowed to have won for itself a repute!inn
unsurpassed in tho history of medical
preparations. Its instantaneous effect in
tho eradication and extinction of pain, in
all its various forms incidental to the
human family, and the unsolicited written
and verbal testimony of tho masses in its
avor, have been, and are, its own best
advertisement. iytf-ly
