We knew the gentleman, having learned our A. B. C’s in the same school, and in later years been on the most familiar terms. We squared ounelf for a treat, for we knew it was in him, and he has a way of letting it out that never fails to please. His subject was “ Woman —Her Duty.” He handled his sub ject in a manner so different and so foreign to the usual style of such ad dresses, that from the first, his hear ers were pleased. The entire address consumed about thirty-five minutes, and the many peals qf genuine elo quence were so natural and unpre tending that no one doubted that they came from the pure fountain of his soul We were delighted and felt proud of our friend, and congrat ulate Opelika upon having in her midst such a promising young man as Mr. Samford.

Mr. Copeland, the intelligent and fair-minded correspondent of thoNew York Journal of Commerce, has a let ter in that paper, in which he gives his evidence as to the existenoe and character of the Ku-Klux in the Southern States. The Journal says editorially, by way of comment on the letter: “Berides being one of the most com plete aooounte of that nsyatreinus organ ization that we have ever read, it has the higher merit, we believe, of abeolute im partiality. A Northerner journeying Southward is.pt to be aweyed byintenre prejudiow when he approaches ihil tick lish subject. It he is a bitter radical, he talks with radical, only, belie re. all he hears, and imagine. Ku-Ehixea for him self in every atirring bush by moonlight. If he is an extremist of the apposite par ty, he affiliate, with nitre men of hit own political school, who are greatly tempted to understate or extenuate or even pooh- pooh at the lawless deeds ascribed to tbe mystic crew. Our representative at the Sonth, act ing under explicit directions from this office purges himself front all biaa, erases from his memory, so far as any nun can, the one-sided statement of Congressional reports, and prooeeds to investinte, in dependently and impartially, from all available sonroos on the spot, the exaot status of the Ku-Klux-Klan. His state ments, therefore, posaore an interest end a value wanting in all, or nearly all, the expositions of this theme whioh have hitherto appeared. Tbe oonclnaions that he rt aches may be briefly set down Bins : Florida baa no Ku-Klux organizMion, but is coned with her share of outlaws, like eveiy State in the Union. No Kn-Klux band proper exists in Georgia Alabama is equally free from the peat, but in por tions of North and South Carolina there are gangs of prowlers, who sometimes rob and murder. The leaders of these are diasolnte whites, some of them aoions of good families, and their followers, es pecially in North Carolina, are fellows who were the scum of society before tbe war, and are now only gratifying their old thirst for rapine and blood. Their numbers are small, and their marauding! confined to limited districts. Owning horses, and having the complete disci pline and bond of secrecy whieh always obtain among banditti the world over, and living in a sparsely settled oountry, they fly from this point to that with tne speed of the wind, defying detection, arrest and eonviotwn, and can keep a hundred smiles square in a acaaita! fer ment. lake stage soldiers, who run be hind the soenea from one whig to another, and then march past the footlights in endless procession, these K. K. K.’s im press the oeaual observer at a vast army: whereas, all told, they are bat a handful, and if corraled could be captured by a company or two of regular troops. But there’s the rub. Their game is is not to be caught—end twenty regi ments of soldiers, monuted, might not be soocessfnl in baggiag them. That they will disappear almost as suddenly as they sprang into notoriety we have np doubt—bnt their extinction will oome from the clearing np and imprormaek^pf the Sonth, politically and sooUUyr'As fever and ague vanishes before proper draim^e and culture, so the Bu-Klux distemper will quit the Southern body politio as the Southern people ere IB-Ad mitted to their rights and resume ill file functions of self-government The Ku- Klnx are not a political ttabai; although they profess to sympathise with the con servatives This illusion they keep np by Northern or Southern Itadicals. But the Conservatives, without exception, so far as our correspondent can aaoartain, repudiate these Bodouins, and wish for nothing better than their extermination. When the Conservative! regain power at the South, they will make short work with the false pretenders who occasional ly steal and murdsr in thair raqraetable name. Tbe list of cues prawnted in the letter makes a startling exhibit of crime; but so would a half dozen atrooities cull ed from the police reoords of a day throughout a Northern State. Thu should be remembered in reading them; nor shonld the reader fail to note, while execrating sncli midnight horrors, that some of tile feeling against negroes and oarjiet-baggors thus terriulyexemplifledat the South arises bom tha miagovseument and opprsteion inflicted upon that section by the latter and their aocomplioas.— Whererulers are demoralized some of the ruled will inevitably be so too. The nui sance of oarpet-bagiam breeds the other nuisanoe of Ku-Klux Klan. The death of one will be fatal to the other also. The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer says: “It is stated in Republican quarters here that a concerted efforts is being made to heal the differences in the Repub lican party in New York, and to re concile Senator Fenton, Greeley and the President. If it can not be avoided, the first step in the pro gramme is to be removal of Collector Murphy from office. The negotia tions are understood to be in progress ut Long Branch, and one prominent member of the ring has arrived here to consult with some Cabinet of ficers.” _ No vouder that Miss Nilsson likes America, and proposes to remain. Since the days of Danse there has not been such a golden shower as has fallen into her lap. One hundred and fifty-two thousand dollars for herself; and besides that Strakosch has his hat and pookets full to the overflow. Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, probably, sinoe last fall, have been realized for singer and manager. A woman in Pittsburg had her husband arrested for ill-treatment. Ue then had her arrested for bigamy. She turned the tables on him witn the same result. Tbe seqnal was that the woman had a husband aad he a wife previous to the allianqe between them, but that each had deceived tils other. The Westers WJreal Cgap. The Western Associated Press furnishes its members the appended summary of news relative to the wheat prospects of the West It wjU be fouud of interest) to merehaota and bread eaters generally; in this oity trout Eastern aad Central In diana, ana all parte of Ifiuioiea, indurate that the reoeut terrific thunderstorm aad hurricane had ho perceptible ill effects effects opera the giisragraopg. Inmost of the looalitiM fossa which dispatches have been (waived, tha stem was much lea. severe than in this vicinity. Many of the dfepetnbea state that the crop prospects ware sever better, though is some few laeelltise the wheat orap it suf fering from the rusk Reports bun Western Wisconsin and from the great wheat-belt in Minneeota da not give to feiorable a view. The St Paul Pram saya that haw a reoeut trip over the section bordering on the Miaaiasippi river, to that State, ao far aa observation extended, evidence was found that tha reported ill condition of the wheat crop was fujly justified. Ac counts received from other sections of Minnesota justify the belief that the yield will fall far below the avenge. This statement ie confirmed by the following dispatches, for the Weetern Associated Press, received from prominent points in Minneeota: RociuwrRB, Mntw., June 34. —The proepeota are that we will have a light orop. The rooent rain, will help us very much, bnt a good deal of the wheat is past redemption. Bmnwaixn, Mum., June 34.—Wueet will hot exceed two-thirds of an ordinary orop. Throughout this country the re oeut storms had noperoeptible effect. Wastes, Mum., June 21—The wheat orop is all right, looking pretty sell, although there has been very much rain, Wabash, Mfrii, June 21—Our wheat it all very poor, and in many oases it will be too short for cutting. Some farmers are plowing their wheat under. Winter wheat is commencing to rust from tbe effects of Warm weather. Dovbr, Mum., June 21—The wheat crops look very light , The rain too late to b« of any benefit Laxb Cm. Mann., June 31—Th# wheat crop promisee to be very light; the rein came too late. Other crops are look- ingweU. Winona, Minn., June 21—The yield of the.wheat crop will be below the aver age. The light rains are considered ben eficial, though rust is feered. Miniska, Minn., June 21—The late rains have been beneficial to the crops. The yield wilt probably be much below the yield average ip this vicinity. Austin, Minn, June 31—ThdSsheat crop looks favorable. The rain did no damage. Hudson, Wia, June 24.—Wheat never looked so poorly at tbit time of the year. We have had no storms here. Bison, Wm., June 26,—The general opinion Is that there must be a light crop, and the reoent storm makes it worse. Warn Watnb, Wn, June 21—There has been eome oomplaiut of rust on wheat, bat to-day farmers say the heavy rains of yesterday washed it off, and the wheat looks well. Cbosb Plains, Wm, June 21—The wheat crop is considerably damaged by rust. The reoent storm had a good ef fect and we expeot a middling fair crop. Habtland, Wis., June 21—The wheat, is very rank. No damage was done by the run. SoHLBlsutavnut Wm, Jane ill—The wheat crop to this section looks very good. Habtfobd, Wm, Jane 21—The pros pects of wheat in this part is very good, and if the weather remains ss now, we Will have a very heavy crop. Biobfuld, Wm, June 21—The wheat crop in this section wee looking very good before the etorm; but I think this storm has injured it very mnoh. Wampuil W“-, Jw«*l+-Tb# recent storm has done no damage to the crepe in this section. Everything promisee fair for a goad yiald. MAaoHAgia, Wm, Jana 31—Fate prospect for a wheat crop.

BubnNI, Wm, June 24.—The prospect for wheat in this vicinity is good for an Avenge now but the reoent (tons lias lodged the grain to some extent. The Ciwil Service Coaamtssioo. A Washington dispatch of the 26th, to the Western Press Association gives the following) Ail the members of the civil aervice commission, except Mr. Welker, have been heard from, and have aoeepted their appointments. It is expected that they win assemble here at an early day to agree upon a plan of operations and the belief among those interested in reform is that by the time Congress assembles, the oommtesioc wijl.be able to reeom- mend a definite system for adoption. The apparent ehange in sentiment regarding the matter here is shown by a loading editorial from a city paper, wnioh, at the time of the retirement of Gem. Qox. ridi culed his notions of civil service reform. It is now understood that it published nothing exoept what it knows will suit the purposes of the administration. It says : “It is to be hoped that the civil service commissioners will soon get to work, so as to be ready with their plans and suggestions by next Daoember, when their recommendations will be sent to Congress. Before the heat and ex citement of the next Presidential contest is upon ns we should like to have the eivil semes question entirely disposed of end eliminated from our party potitisa. It would not onto be an advantage to the olerka themselves, but be a greet and en during benefit to the country. Without permanency, dependent ongqpd nunluct and fidelity, we cannot have efficient sur- vioe to any of the olerioal departments pf tbe government A publfo qaq^ drat be made to reel that he is secure aa long is he is honest and upright and iadwrtri- ous, and he must be plaosd in aporitibn where he will not feel a weary, restless anxiety about his own future and the fn< taro of thoea dependent upon him.” As the-oBtee ef 4)mttalsriauer of Ca*j lish a Bairam of is pswpoaadto do thri by — - — ^ m.y& ineAri raraltyfar two diatinct barraw| ftftjjnrtn The Alsttraa arad Chattanooga Railroad.

Mr, Stanton himself showed his joy by hang ing out ftie American flag at his private Of eearee tbe find men to say “I told yon so" yesSenfoy were those who had before inajsted That tha road, oould never get out Qlthe scrape. This decision removes, in agreatoteaa- ure, the depression whioh had weighed upon all onr spirits. It restores confi dence to the road, to Mr. Btontou and in ourselves.

J. C. Stanton baa again demonstrated that he is hard to beat.

He paid a very high compli ment to the baud. At the oluae of his remarks he was heartily cheered. A Superb Swindle. The Washington correspondent of tbe New York Herald, writing on the 24th, says: The Territorial Government here ia not so mnoh of a success as it was uonfi dentiy predicted at tile outset It has been found that the rings which existed under the old.form of government have full os much swing now as heretofore. Under this state of affiurs, various influ ential dozens of the District are now agitating the question as to whether it would not be better to petition the next session of Congress to repeal tbe Territo rial bill altogether. It would seem that the only new feature whioh has been realised under tbe new order of things was a fatal tendency to reoommend im- ovement The Board of Public Works, a reoent report on the subject, recom mended the adoption of plans for beauti fying the oity which would have oost in the aggregate about fill,000,000. Acting upon such suggestions the local Legisla ture has had introduced several bills which would have taken the entire valua tion of the District to have carried them into effect. They were voted down seri atim, bnt only by a small majority. At last a bill was got before this body with a favorable report from a committee, which involved an expenditure of about five millions. In the discussion which fol lowed it was discovered that not only was this report a forgery, bnt that it contem plated the disbursing of this large sum of money without any degree of respon sibility whatever. Noone waato account for the way in wbiob it had been expend ed, nor to make any record of its dispo- il whatever. Under this state of affairs property holders are naturally becoming alarmed, ai.d are fast coming to the con clusion that it is better to he governed by a Congressional committee than by an iguorant, unlettered and oorrupt set of legislators. _ The Irafilana Tragedy. A Washington dispatch of the 23d, relates the following; A letter received by Commissioner Parker to-day, from Superintendent Hoag, encloses a report from Agent Tatam, dated Fort Sul, June 10th, in whiohfbe states that the Kiowas are col lecting the forty-one mules recently stol en in order to return them to the Agen cy, and givee the following interesting particulars of the death of Satauka, while being taken to Texas for trial for killing white settlers: On the 8th inst., Satanta, Satauka and Big Tree were in formed that they were to start that morn ing to Texas, to whioh they demurred, preferring to be sent anywhere else. Batauka, whom I have regarded as the worst Indian in this agency, protested that he would not go to Texas, but would do something and be shot at onoe. Big Tree told him that if he did they would all be shot, and taking bold of him poshed him toward the wagon in whioh he waa to ride, with two soldiers to guard him. Col McKonxie and Ool Grierson were near him when ha was put into the wagon. Tbe prisoners had all been care fully searched some days before. When about one mile from tbe poet Satauka, h»vjng. finished his death song, had, un observed, succeeded in drawing his •hackles off his hands, and drawing butcher kbifo started suddenly at his gourd, cutting one of them slightly in tie leg. They escaped from th* wagon, leaving their guns, one of which Satan ka took, and while iu the sot of trans ferring a bertridge ftom the chamber of the bgrtel he was shot several times.

Indiana Ku-Klux. Bigamist Bowen’s Pardon. A Washington dispatch says: Bowen's pardon seems to binge on the political strength of the Republican fac tions in tbe Congressional Distriot of Sonth Carolina of which Charlreton is tho center. Bo far the President refuses to commit himself to either faction. There is no doubt bnt that tbe majority of legal votes cast in that Distriot at the late eleo- . — tion for member of Congress were cast Mrs - Iolll 7«D their sister and for Bowen, and that DeLarge was seated ?, ed ma ? , nam ™ Lee. They threw -*— 1 * jugs of boneine usto tho rooms oc- 1 by the family, aid threw iu nev simply by the count of fraudulent voteet Since the commencement of the perseou- tion against Bowen, some half dozen judges of election in that district have been tried, been found guilty, and sen tenced to the Penitentiary. This virtu ally givee Bowen his seat, but Ids enemies are making strenuous efforts to prevent tho President from pardoning Bowen, while on the other hand Bowen's friends are exerting themselves for his pardon, assuring the President that they repre sent the strongest faction of the Repub licans, and that Bowen is their choice for Congress. And pardon is to be considered solely upon its political merits, leaving out of view lh<- principles of morality and justice, which were formerly sup posed to exert an influence upon those who have authority to remit and commute sentences pronounced by tbe law. The whole tiling amounts to this: If Bowen has must friends iu his district h e will lie pardoned; bnt if DeLarge's friends are most numer ous, Bowen will be allowed to quietly work out his sentence in the peniten tiary. a*-! A Prophecy Fulfilled. The editor of the Charleston Cou rier, who was iiersonally acquainted with Mr. Yallandigham, contributes the following: We were delegates to gether to the Democratic National Convention of I860, whosedisruption, in the contest between Douglas and Breckinridge, as to the character and rights of slavery in the territories, was the precursor to the late civil war. On one occasion, in this city, Repre sentative Logan, of Illinois, Laraoee, of Wisconsin, aud others being pres ent, the conversation naturally turn ed upon the threatening attitnde of the questions then before the Conven tion. Mr. Yallandigham rose at the dinner table witli an heir of great gravity, and said, “Gentlemen, if the Democratic party is dissevered in this Charleston Convention, the result will be the disruption of the Union, and one of the bloodiest eivil wars on rec ord, and the magnitude of which no one can estimate. In the unity of the Democratic party, and in thelln- ion lies the hope of the South and of Republican government.” We think it was Mr. Logan who replied, “Sit down, Yallandiglmm. and drink your wine. You are always prophesying.” His reply was, “Gentlemen, I speak earnestly, bi-canse 1 feel deeply im pressed with tlie truth of what I liav uttered." This was in the Spring of I860. The secession of South Caro lina took pluoe in December of the same year. The Coining Cotton Crop. The New York It'orW says of the probuble extent of the cotton crop; “ The most contradictory reports have prevailed, to whieh the Govern ment at Washington, has contributed its full share. The weather bulletins sent ont by the War Department re ported less rain than the private ac counts; but when the whole subject had been pretty well exhausted, and the “bulls” had forced prices to about the highest limits, the Agrieutural Department came out with a highly sensational statement of injury done the cotton crop, which was fortunate ly so plainly overdone that it had lit tle effect exoept to -‘stick” a few over-confident •• bulls." The truth about the cotton crop is that injury has been suffered in various quarters from too much rain, but there is nothing as vet to justify and material reduction of an estimated yield of three and a half million bales.'’ A disp&tifo, dated Louisville, (he 26tn, instant, says: ,j 8 soial dispatches to the New Albaoy, Inb lodger, this evening, give necotrats of diabolical outrage near Orleans, La- ,-nco county, Ind., yesterday. A par - of assassins attacked the houxFof foody family, consisting of four aid thr CU] era orpedoea, loaded with buckshot, nai screws and similar missiles. Tin- tor] ‘ocs exploding set fire to the ben- zinu aid aroused the family, when the aasai uts commenced firing with revolv ers . to the doors aud windows. Mr. Thomas Moody was shot in the lrip, ffjo ball nging upward through the body, com -gout in the upper portion of tin- brer Lee received a severe wound in the . h gli and another in* the buck. Mrs. Toli ver wan terribly luirnod with tin- ben::iue and torpedoes. The asaasaius as- capi d. Tne community is greatly excited. Ten 1 onsaud dollars has been raised to pros ite the guilty parties when caught. DeU i ives are busy ferreting them out. The . ->ple are almost wild to get hold of the asa sains, and threats of lynching ate heard oa every hand, but it is believed pruden. counsels will prevail. At3F. M. Mr. Moody's recovery was hopeful— Lees doubtful. It is understood that Moody’s statement of tho affair was rc- duci 1 to writing, and he said he recog nize* l several of tho attacking party. A New Financial Departure. In the New York Herald's Wash ington letter of the 24th, we find the following: Secretary Bontwell contemplates call ing in some twenty millions of the five- twenties of the issue of 1862, aud re placing (them, where tho holders desire it, by equivalents iu the new five per cents. The object of the financial de parture is to create, as larfas possible, a market for the new loan, as the majority of t. o holders of the bends which are to be c. .celled are Europeans, uuil it is ex- pee- that tho foreign market will be d to that extent. It would appear fron tho statement oi the Treasury agen i already absent iu Europe, tliat the l arkets there are glutted with tho secur. ties of all kinds seeking purcha sers. The Franeo-Priissian war has thor ough' ■ deranged the financial system of Euro 3 and capitalists arc extremely cau tious .bout making investments. Tho heavy, balances on hand in the Treasury warrant this step on the part of tho Sec retary, and if it succeeds it is proposed to follow it up in tho exact ratio that the revenue receipts will justify. Jealousy and Murder. A Louisville dispatch of the 26th, says : Last night a young man was shot near this city under circumstances which ren der it almost certain that he was murder ed by a jealous rival. During tho even ing Jacob Rein and Valentino Rabbit, rival suitors for the favor of Miss Lizzie Wertz, who was engaged to marry Rein, met at the house of tho youug lady’s mother, five miles of the city, aud re mained until 10 o'clock, when Raboit left. A quarter of an hour after Rein also left He had gone about two hun dred yards when Miss Wertz heard a pis tol shot, and fearing some harm to ner betro hed, ran out of the house and up the rood, meeting Rein staggering bark. He fell in the road, when she picked him up aud carried him iu tho house, where bo died at 1 o’clock this afteruoou. The bull had entered the leit side of the ab- domeu. Before death Reiu made a state! tent of the affair, declaring that Rabh t ran ont from a fence corner and shot .im with a pistol. Rabbit was ar rested , but denies having done the bloody deed. The Block of Rice. The Savannah Adrtrliser of Sun day save: “ From an account as accurately token as posable, it is esti mated tlmt the stock of rice, last year's Wop, now on hand, amounts to about forty-five thousand bushels ot rough and about five hundred casks clean. The demand in this market lately, lias lieen principally for Gulf ports, with some large shipments North, and as the stock on hand at Charles ton will not hold tbe remainder of the season, that port w ill also become a purchaser in this market, when the present stock on band here will bo but sufficient to carry out the remainder of tbe season. From accounts in reference to the present orop, evorv thing thus far seems favorable, with fully as much acreage planted as last season; but it is useless to calcu late on the growing crop, as old and experienced rioe growers never form any opinion until after the plant blossoms aud llie seeds begin forin- Akernmn to Resign. The UeraUi of the 25th, has the follow ing in its Washington letter : “One of the many Cabinet rumors here contem plate** change in tbe Attorney General’s department. It is stated that the pres ent incumbent will be snooeeded by eith er Solicitor General Bristow or by Gen. Harian, which latter ia Republican can didate (or Governor in Kentucky, It ia • •-II known that Mr. Akerman has been On the eve of retiring tor Beveral months, aud that it wm an understood fact that h« was to go out some time last spring, but be bs# found it ooatenieat to retain hi# portfolio up to the present time, arad will probably retain it until ^the tie# tuoky election is heard from. Little Women. Three little girls were playing among the poppies aud sage-brush of the buck yard. Two of them were making believe” keep house, a little way apart, as near neighbors might. At last one was overheard saying to the voungest of the lot, “There, now, Nelly, you go over to Sarah's house ind stop there a little while, and talk as fast as ever you can, and then you co ne buck and tell me wliat she says al out me, and then I'll talk about ner; and then yon will go and tell her all 1 say, and then we'll get as mad as hornets and won’t speak when we meet, just as our mothers do, you know ; and that'll be such fun," won't it ?” Hadn't these little mischiefs lived to some purpose ? aud were they not close observers and apt scholars, charmingly trained for tin I life in a small chief business of neighltorhood ? * a ■< Mad Dog Killed. A rabid dog was killed in an alley, on Market street, just below (Titin'll, yesterday morning, by John, the por ter in the house of klassungale & I'o. There is a little history in connection with this dog slaughter that will do here to relate. The pistol used in tit, anni illation of the dangerous canine was the property of II. T. Massengate, which was loaded on the night Gen. Jo. Johnston issued his famous.nrdm at Cartorsville, Ga., in Juno, 1864, ami hover had been fired until brought into requisition yesterday. Alfhongh loaded for seven years, it went off »t first pull.—Xas/iviUe liuon sell American. < i . > Dr. Thompson on Women. Dr. Thompson, in his add rasa on “The Fate of Paris,” was rather hard on the fair sex, and harsh in his judgment of what would be tbe result should they ob tain political power. Catherine da Mod icis and Madamo do Mainteuon are bard ly fair type# of the women of tho nine teenth century. I think tha gentleuab forgot he had a mother, and uuae'sit ho has neither wife nor sister, or perhaps he has been unfortunate in both and all, artfl judge* bom that standpoint, else hesMa ly would not put hi* countrywoman in the stone category with let James ‘tUtn kalte, who “perpetrate some ottt acts of cruolty in Pari* to-day,”
