Let us be silent and trust our interests to their hands," Ac. This is the purport of the counsel given by several in this connection. Now who are ** our friends at the North," and what are “ our interests and “our cause" that should thus be confided to their management and control ? Let ps understand each other. We aay in the outset, that we do not much like this classification of friends. In our judgment, we of the South hare no cause—no interests in the great approaching civic straggle— which are not common to all the friends of public Liberty in all the States ot the Union. Our cause and our interests are the Federal Con stitution, atid with itthe free institu tions established by our ancestors— nothing more—nothing less; theirs is the same—nothing more—nothing less. We neither claim nor look npon, as political friends or allies, any men or party, North or South, who are not true to the Constitution and the es sential principles upon which it was based. We are engaged in no strug gle for the bare success of this or that organization, whatever name it . jnay assume, whose sole object is the if acquisition of the spoils of office;— Our objects are far different—far higher and worthier, we trust. With us the chief aim now is for union and concerted action between all the true friends of the Federal Constitution in all the States, and for a grand nil-, ly to save their common liberties from that Centralizing Despotism which is at this time so fearfully threaten ing them alike everywhere. For this purpose we put fl the touchstonet” test, in the language of Mr. Jefferson, to all alike. Before entering the real contest in 1872, it is essential to know by the previous ■ application of this * touchstone ” fwho are “ our friends,” and who are our adversaries. Whoever shall prove himself to be a true friend of the Constitution, we Bhall recognize as our friend and ally. Whoever shall not, we shall recognize as our adver sary in the coming great contest be tween Imperialism and Constitution alism—between a consolidated Em pire and a Federal Republic. We say in advance, however, that we shall never recognize as a politi- cal friend or ally; let him hail from any quarter he may, any one who maintains that the openly confessed usurpations attending the reconstruct tion acts have all been settled “in the manner and by the authority constitur tionally appointed," and who shall de precate any arraignment of either of these acts or their authors, before the Jbar of public reason for popular con demnation. All such are no friends of ours—of our cause, or the liberties of this country. A. II. S. The Mobile Register. In a late issue of this staunch Dem ocratic journal (the 20th insL.) we find the following editorial, which we botomend to the careful attention of our readers without comment: Tbe S«w York World. We eopy from the Selma Argus a sig nificant article entitled “Oar Northern Masters,” not for the purpose of endors ing it in all its parts, because there is an other aide to the question, bnt for the edification of the New York World. The World speaks of Mr. Jeff. Davis as “a politician who stupidly, criminally, (to use tbe milder phrase,) blundered."— On the principle of “set a thief to catch c .Ctewera! JilClCOUl'j lion. Proclama- Ri To The historical question of “ who wrote General Jackson’s proclama tion?” having arisen, Charles D. Hos- : tetter-settles!the matter in the follow ing jiatetoThe New. .York Tribune “ In your speech at Now Orleans when speaking of General Jackson's proclamation, you said: * Edward Livingston very probably wrote it. The following statement may be im plicitly relied on as correct: During the political -campaign of 1848, in Ohio, an intimate friend of mine* DavidBegges, Esq.,drove Gov. Corwin to and from New Lisbon, Ohio, in his carriage. Doing business in the same office, I asked Mr. Begges, the day af ter, if he had had any conversation with Mr. Corwin of special interest. Mr. Begges replied that he had asked Mr. Corwin if he : knew who wrote Gen. Jackson’s proclamation. Mi*. Corwin answered: “Some years ago I had some business in the office of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Com nany, which I transacted with Lewis Me Lane, of Delaware, who was then President of the Company. When my business was finished I asked him if he knew who wrote General Jack son’s proclamation. Mr. McLanethen rose from his seat, and drew from pigeon hole a document, which he handed to me, saying it was the pro tocol of the proclamation, with inter lineations and corrections. Mr. Me Lane also said that, on account of General Jackson’s handwriting being obscure, He was obliged to make copy for the printer’s use,” TMs AishsOaMri Mtoti—qr. We deem it eminently wise in the Executive Committee of the State Ag ricultural Society to send eo able &1 man as Hon. Samuel B&ntett abfead throughout the State to preaoh the gospel of a live agriculture to the rapidly awakening people. Mr. Bar nett is profoundly learned in the art a thief, ,r the World ought to have a good nose for the “blunderers.” Passing by its own multitudinous sins in this line of stupidity or criminality,” we would like to know how a great newspaper, profess ing to speak for a great party, could com mit a graver “blunder” than to give pre text and justification for such an article as this from the Argus ! So aggravated is this blunder, that were it once conceded that the World spoke authoritatively the sentiments of the Democracy of the North and the West, there would be no Democratic party between the Poto mac and the Rio Grande. Fancy the next National Democratic Convention in session, and its Northern members, in cluding Pendleton, and Yallandigham, and Morgan, and Brooks, and Voorhees, and Doolittle, and Hendricks, should treat that body to sentiments of distrust and bitterness, and hatred like" those which the W r ‘jrld flings across the Poto mac, how long could the Southern dele- in that body endure it ? What would be the shock to those delegates when, instead of being iu the house of their friends, who had agreed to let by gones be by-gones, and had united in a vow to reclaim the Government from the national calamities of the past, and to hurl from power the Radical criminal that had fattened on those calamities, they should find themselves the victims of contempt and abuse in speeches ex actly patterned after the oratory of Wen dell Phillips and Ben. Butler ? A motion to return in a body, from the Convention, would be inexorably iu order. But hap- pily for the best interests of the country, the World does not echo the fueling of the Democrati 2 party. The best proof oi it is, that it does not represent the feel ing of the Northern Democratic press.— Indeed, it is' almost as common to see attacks from the Democratic press against the vagaries of the World, as against the-Radical dogmas of the New l'ork Tribune. On questions of finance, free trade, taxation, carpet-baggers, mili tary usurpation, etc., the World is emi nently sound, but in its role of Demo cratic leadership it is oblivious of the duty and necessity of smothering its Re publican animosities, engendered during the war. The thought or the mention of “Rebel” stirs up all its “truly loyal” bile, and betrays it under its Democratic mask. It is difficult to serve two masters ro ride two horses. If the Woi’ld has no amnesty in its heart for the Democrats of the South, it is not a fit surgeon for the benignant du ty of healing the wounds in the body politic and of restoring the fraternity be tween once jarring States, on the basis of equality and constitutional union.— The World is ever persistent in asking us of the South to do nothing to throw difficulties in the way of Northern De mocraey in its encounter with the Radi cals North. We usli it in leluru to do nothing to furnish inspiration tosueh inflamable and dangerous articles as we copy from the Southern Argus. If it does, to the extent of its influence it must be held responsible for the conse quences. And we feel it .needful to ap peal to our Democratic associates and friends outside of the field of World in fluence, to correct the mischief that jour nal is working right under our eyes. It we are to be friends and equals and companions in battle” in the great struggle to free our common country from its dire Radical enemy, let it so be distinctly understood, and the South will do its whole duty in the war for delive rance. We have agreed that you shall shape the;plan of battle, and, nolens vo- lens, we are with you in the fight against Radicalism. You may divide the spoils of victoiy, too, .if you win them. But we make one condition, that we are ;i tcJ follow as honest and trusted allies, aud not as political Pariahs who are tolerated only because their votes are needed in shaping the result. We repeat to our Northern friends, there is need to speak' out on this subject, and if you cannot st^p,. at least to neutralize the poison that is distilled'from the TPorfoTs pen. *~If the World were the Democratic party, which, thank God, it is not, it would be just as easy for the South to make good terms and-fair weather-.with Horace Greeley aud the New York Tribune as with itself.— Tlie spirit breathed' by the World would tomahawk the South after the battle was won. We do not trust it as the oracle of Northern Democratic thought. Let us hear from the true exponents of the par ty among the leaders and in the press. ness to the fullest possible extent.

Prince Bismarck, in his note to M. Jules Favre, holds that the forces of the French government entered Paris on May 21; that the city was reoecupied aud the authority of the government virtual ly re-established on May 24, when nearly all-the insurgents had been killed, taken irisoners or had surrendered to Marshal dicMahon, and that the first instalment of 500,000,000 francs is therefore strictly due on June 24. ; By an arrangement between Prince Bismarck and M. Thiers, it had been agreed that 125,000,000 francs out of the first instalment should be paid at an ear lier period than that fixed by the treaty of peace, Prince Bismarck accepting this sum in French bank notes, on condition that the remainder of tbe first instalment and in addition to it 125,000,000, to be deducted ■ from the second instalment, should be paid in gold or its equivalent thirty days after the reoccupation of Par is, as’Stipalated by the treaty of peace.

Terrible Calamity. From the Gainesville New Era we take.the following details of the ter rible calamity at Lake Orange, to which allusion was made a few days l "On Friday of last week, the 16th in stant, one of the most terrible calamities and melancholy events we have ever been called upon to chronicle, wcurred at Orange Lake, six miles south of Mican- opy. We have gathered the following facts - concerning the sad ‘ and_ mournful event. On Friday a Sabbath School fes- tivaLwas -giVefi at Orange lake, a terge number of ladies, gentlemen and child ren from Micimopy and vicinity being' m attendance. During the day, and w hilst the remainder of the excursionists were on shore enjoying themselves, a party of ladies, gentlemen and Sabbath school children, about forty in number, went aboard of a small sloop for the purpose of taking a sail upon npon the lake. Soon after embarking,-and when a con siderable distance from shore, a sadden puff of wind from an unexpected quarter, something of frequent occurrence on our inland lakes, upset the: -slopp, and the top of the-mast became fastened in the bottom. All of the passengers were pre cipitated without , a moment’s warning into the water, aud six of the number drowned. Nearly all, of the grown per- were assisted to the sides of the boat, the children plaoed in their charge as rapidly as they could be rescued, and there the little innocents clung, some to the ladies and others to the boat. The- young men labored .with a heroism cud courage almost unparalleled. By their coolness and presence of mind they suc ceeded in rescuing all save six from a watery grave. The.great wonder is that so many who were unable to swim, were saved. / " ‘ ^ -5 ladu The names of- the persons drowned are: Mrs. L. Montgomery, daughter of our esteemed fellow-citizen, John Fleming, Esq., of Wacahoota, who was one of the most excellent ladies we ever knew. Pos sessed of all those Christian virtues and graces, blended as they were with an am iable and kindly disposition which en deared her to ail, her sad, her inelan choly death is deeply regretted by a large circle of friends. In their afflictive an guish and deep grief, the sympathies of the entire community are With her be reaved husband and family. Miss Ella Winecoff. daughter of Mr. Jacob Winecoff, an old arid highly re spected citizen of Mieanopy. This young lady was beloved by .all who knew her. -— Affectionate and dutiful as a child, loving and amiable as a sister and companion, her spirit has soared above without a spot or blemish. Miss Maggie Simonton, daughter of Mr. James A. Simonton, likewise of Mi- canopy, an intelligent and interesting young lady, whose qualities of head and leart had won for her the esteem and friendship of a large concourse of rela tives and friends, who are deeply grieved at her sad and untimely fate. Little Ida Sliuford, a charming and most promising little girl, daughter of Mr. Wm. J. Sliuford. Little Ida was the pet of the household, aud a great favor ite with all who knew her. Johnny Simonton, an interesting and sprightly lad, son of Mr. John H. Simon ton, of Mieanopy, whose genial nature and kind disposition endeared him to his family and friends. A colored man named Bowen, in the employ of Captain B. W. Powell, was likewise drowned. Several of the survivors were rescued in a critical condition, but are now j con valescent. Ou Saturday night and Sunday morn ing the bodies were interred. On -Sab bath, in hearing,of a large andmournful congregation, Rev. W. J. McCormick, the beloved pastor of the Presbyterian Church, delivered a most excellent ser mon, which brought tears ofahguish and of sorrow to many eyes. A goodly num ber of the citizens of Gainesville visited Mieanopy to assist in performing the lust sad rites over the unfortunate dead. This is a most appalling calamity, the like of which we hope never again to have to record. ' Six persons, engaged in a pleasure excursion, launched almost in the twinkling of an eye, from time into eternity. The ways of providence are indeed mysterious. In the enjoyment of health, in the midst of pleasure and innocent happiness, our unfortunate friends, without notice and with the least'expectat on or thought; ushered in to the presence of the great I AM. Mieanopy is plunged in grief. The poignant sorrow of the kindred and rel atives of the deceased in thus suddenly and Unexpectedly being bereft of wife, daughter and son, is beyond expression. If deep and heart piercing sympathy can avail aught in giving solace and comfort to the bereaved and afflicted families, it is theirs. Never, on any occasion, have our citizens felt and experienced jfiore and deeper sympathy than was done, upon hearing of this sad, this terrible ca lamity. . g**.y*TT* Since writing the above we have re ceived the following letter from Rev. Mr, McCormick, which we take a melancholy pleasure in layiug before our readers: Micanofv, June 16, 1871. Mr, Editor—Dear Sir: Amid the tears, lamentations and bereavements of my dear, stricken people here, I drop these lines to you that you may be in formed of their sad estate. At ou£ Sab bath School Festival yesterday, the young people concluded to take a sail after din ner, on Orange Lake, in a large boat.— They had gotten abont three- miles from us when a sudden gust of wind filled the sails, careened and cap-ized her. Some thirty odd souls were ou board, and all instantly and -unexpectedly ’precipitated into the water. The young men behaved with great coolness, aud after almost herculean la bors saved ’all bnt six persona. Boats were sent out to their assistance. On their return we found that Dr. Lucius Montgomery’s wife, daughter of Mr. John Fleming, was drowned. Her little si iter, Ida, was rescued, but is iii a very critical condition. Miss Ella Winecoff, Maggie Simonton, little Ida Sliuford aud little Johnny Simonton were also drown ed. A colored man too was lost.- - Judge King’s three boys and my daughter, with others, were rescued. O, what an appal- ing sight! .What # soul-harrowing ca lamity ! It is one of those scenes that n..-ed only to be witnessed to be forever remembered. I cannot write any more as my heart is well nigh bursting with grief at the sight of others’ sorrows. Many will sympa thize with the mourning ones, and will a-k for them the sanctified use of terrible; Calamity. Pastor, A Smart Seized Farm. A correspondent, writing;from Peo ria, Illinois', gives the following ac count of the scale upon which farm ing is done at the West: “The farm of M. L. Sullivan, of Burr Oak, near Chatsworth, Living ston county, Illinois, is not only a big, but a well-managed and profita ble enterprise. The farm is eight miles square, containing 40,960 acres 64 sections, Government survey.—. It is sub-divided into thirty-two farms of 1,280 acres each. Each farm has a captain and a first and second lieu tenant, all under control of a coni- mander-in-cliief, its owner, and Brig adier-General J. M. Miner. There are To',000 acres under the plows, over 10,000 "of which is in corn this season, which looks finely. This re quired 1,600 bushels of corn for seed this year. The remainder of the farm is used for grazing, small grain, and grass. ** ***“** • There are two hundred and fifty miles of hedge fence, besides other fences; one ha ad red and fifty miles of ditch for draining wet* land; two hundred men and four hundred work horses and mules are used on this farm. There is employed; also, one surveyor, two book-keepers, four black-smiths, and eight carpenters.— An accurate account is kept with each farm, and with each man; horse, and mule—horses and mules being all named or numbered, and charged with amount paid for them and their iabor. There is no more regular or systematic set of hooks kept in any banking or manufacturing establish ment in the country than Mr. Sulli van’s The whole of this land was entered from Government about twenty years since by its present owner at $1.25 per acre. The farm at this time, with the improvements made, upon it and personal property connected with it, is worth about $2,000,000; so you see we have a millionaire in Central Illi nois in the person of a sturdy farmer, who shows “what I know about fann ing” by his woi|ks,;. and can stand in the centre of his farm and say truth- f,“I am monarch of all I sur vey.”' ' "*•' ■< A Giant Monopoly. The New York Post thus describes the Pennsylvania Central R. R. Co.: “With property in its hands to the amount of two hundred and fifty millions dollars; with a gross income far greater than that of the United States government twenty years ago, and greater than that of'any State Government - to-day; with at least three Legislatures ready to. register its will, and • others great influenced by it, and with all its achievements regarded by the bold and able men who control it merely as stepping stones to a greatly future, what is to prevent it from becoming also the great political power ?” The Philadelphia Gazette is com pelled to acknowledge that this is a true hill, and only excuses the ambi tion, greed and rapacity of the Penn sylvania monopoly, by the allegation that it was “ the desperate style of warfare by the two great roads of New York that compelled the Pennsylva nia company to put forth the exer tions and seize the powers it has.” —' Wiiat Love is Like. “Love is like the devil, because it torments; like Heaven, because it wraps the-soul in bliss; like salt, be cause. it is relishing;. -like pepper, be cause it .often sets one on fire; like sugar because, it is sweet; like a rope, because it is often the death of a man; like a prison, because it makes one miserable; like wine, because it makes a man happy ; like a man, because it is here to-day and gone to-morrow; like a woman, because there is no get ting rid of it; like a beacon, because it guides one to : the wished for ; port; like a wili-o-th-wisp, because it often leads one into a bog ; like a fierce courser, because it often runs away with one; like a little pony, because it ambles nicely with one, like the bite of a mad dog or the kiss of a pretty woman, because they both make a man run mad; ■ like a goose, because it is silly; like a rabbit, be cause, there is lio thing like it—in a word, like a ghost, because it is like everything and like nothing—often talked about, but never seen, touched or understood.” Jaiite- Love is like—well, it is like love.— You know how it is yourself. —j Growling! at Akerman. The Radicals are in a growling mood of late, and even their own men do not escape. The Washington cor respondent of the Cincinnati Chroni cle growls at Akerman as follows:— *!\Y hen the, President ordered the Secretary to issue instructions to the Department commanders to assist the civil authorities in the Southern States in putting down Ku-Klux or like disturbances, it was expected that instructions would also be sent to the United States District Attorneys and Marshals. The Attorney General de ferred this till such time as, in his opinion, tile condition of affairs would warrant it. Mr. Akerman is a Geor gian, and-thinks he knows best how toVdeal with the people of that section of the country, and does not believe in precipitating matters. Conse quently no instructions of any kind have been issued, any more than if the act for the suppression of alleged outrages had' hevet passed. k <3S3; l '■ •' >1 »-4—.—•—l Job Printing ueatly executed at Son Job Office.
