Carpet-Bag Governor Reed Impeached—
Destruction ot the State Arms and Am
munition.
1
Tallahassee, November 6,—Harrison Heed,
Governor of the State of Florida, was im
peached by the Legislature to-day, charged
with high crimes and misdemeanors in office.
The charges were preferred by Horatio Jen
kins, President of the late Constitutional
Conventional; three-fonrths of the members
present voting in the affirmative. All the
members were not in attendance. Gov. Heed
will contest the case. His friends claim that
the body now in session is illegal. The Leg
islature may adjourn to-morrow.
From the best accounts, it appears that the
parties who destroyed the State arms on the
railroad last night, must have forced the cars
at Madison. They broke open the cases of
rides and broke and distributed them along
the track for several miles. The ammunition
shared the same. fate. The arms cost the
State twenty thousand dollars.

Headquarters of the Abut,

Washington, October 31, 1868.
Soldiers may, for certain offences not
strictly military, be sentenced by General
Courts-Martial to confinement in a peniten
tiary. If any State in the Military Depart
ment has made provision by law -for the:
confinement in a penitentiary thereof, of
prisoners under sentence by courta-martial of
the United States, the Department Com
mander may designate such penitentiary as a
place for the execution of any such sentence
to penitentiary confinement; bat if .no such
provision has been made -by any State in the
Department, the record will be forwarded to
the Secretary of War for the designation of a
penitentiary. The authority which has des
ignated the place of confinement, or higher
authority, can change the place of confine
ment, or mitigate or remit the sentence. The
same rules apply to prisoners sentenced by.
Military Commission, so long as the law" un
der which the Military Commission acted is
in force; but when the law ceases to-be ope
rative, tlie President alone can change the
place of confinement, alter, mitigate or
remit the sentence.

TRAITS OF PURITANISM.
This malady, which has been the curse of
Old England in times long past, which has
been so terrible a curse to New England,
from the beginning, and from thence has sent
its virus, in greater or less degree, through
all the States of this once happy Union,
where it still spreads the poison, cannot well
be said to be dying out in New England—but
we do happen, now and then, to find some
bold and just expression of opinion upon it
in the region which still entertains it mostly,
and which encourages us to hope that the
season rapidly approaches when our political,
social and moral atmosphere may be totally
purged and set free from the pestilence.
Very recently, in an oration delivered by
the Hon. Arthur W. Austin, of West Rox-
bury, Mass., we find him using this language.
Speaking of Governor Dudley, Colonial
Governor, he says: “that he possessed all the
attributes of u sturdy Puritan, a class of
people who were never happy except when they
had somebody to quarrel with, or somebody to
oppress." . Ain"
Kindred with this is the following passage
from the same oration:
“ Ages ago, in the time of .Esop, an at
tempt was made to wash the blackamoor
white, but the blackamoor died under the
operation. Experiments of a similar kind
are now under trial, to fail. aB all others
have failed before. The decrees of the first
great cause cannot be overturned, cannot be
set aside by man or devil. Satan tried the
first experiment. That failed, as all such ex
periments must fail which attempt to coun
teract the ordinances or reverse the fiat of the
1’ilOll Fi’ijnjill ( • 5f - r
These are all Puritan sentiments, and the
devil is understood always to have shown
himself a Puritan, when it became his policy
to play the hypocrite.
Elsewhere, the same writer, speaking of
one of the great moral deficiencies of poli
ticians and so-called statesmen, in our day,
and especially in our country, uses the fol
lowing language:
“The want of courage in avowing opinion
is a vice of our times. Too many conceal
their opinions, when they happen not to be
in harmony with the masses. They thus con-
- contribute to aid the masses and perpetuate
their abuses. He who is capable of forming
an opinion, but, forsaking manhood, and a
renegade from principle, falters, whether from
fear or interest, either in politics or religion
—acting contrary to his own well considered
convictions—is a traitor to himself; his coun
try, and his God !” . . -
And the curse of Puritanism, U its native
home, is to reriderthis very sort of treachery
and hypocrisy, the absolute necessity of so
ciety.'
The same writer says: .1 •**
“They Qthe-Puritans) if they cannot hate a
man for his vices, will certainly do so for his
virtues. Hate is the aliment upon which
envy and hypocrisy thrive most, and they
must hate in order to be reasonably happy.
This is, perhaps, some excuse, referable to
that peculiar demon which torments them.”
In the little old volnme called “ Cabala,
and containing the •‘Table Talk of King
James the First,” we find a passage which
fitly belongsrin this connection:
“X never knew (said King James j that Fu-
ritan that spake, .well of any man behind his-
back, or took delight to do good to any;
beiug covetous of his purse and liberal ot his
tongue; so that he is always an ill neighbor
aiida false friend.’ [ . e
How true, at this very day, to the charac
teristics of this meddlesome people; whose
enormous vanity suffers nobody to be at
peace, if they can mar it; and never beholds
Wprdsperity of which it does not seek to
rob the proprietor, even though they .add
nothing thereby to their own posssessions.
Let us look to made of the
tribe by one of the greatest of the BntiBh
SSwigDU of the present century. We quote
from the “ History of England,” by the cele

FOWLER OF TUB SOUTH.
Captain Maury, formerly of the National
Observatory, recently made an address: at an
agricultural fair, near „.
which he combated the i
.unton, Virginia, in
. —- prevalent idea' at the
North that the South is lacking^n~energy and
enterprise., He referred the, apparent supe
riority of activity m the North to the fact
that the-North tH-wnvnnfm»fnvmg and commer
cial, whereby products are concentrated, and
there is thereby a show of life and movement
which is not seen in agricultural communities
like the South, because labor is there diffused.
Another reason he, considered; to be the
statistics showing the rewards of labor ai thei ; j
South were not foirly presented; and another ’
reason in the immense emigration from Eu
rope, which has been, almost entirely absorbed
by the North. On this point Captain hT.rftyi
refers to the fact that, according to the census
of 1790, the population of the United States
was very nearly equally divided between the
North and South; and according to the re-’
turns 'of the subsequent census, the ratio, of
The President has signed the extradition, natural increase was greater at the
"' ""atthe North,' but notwithstanding'this the
population North, in 1860 was, in round num
bers, eleven millions greater than that at the
South. Taking this excess as the number of
emigrants to that section since 1790, and
their descendants and supposing that each rep
resents an industrial capital of $400, he argues
that the North has acquired $4,400,U00,000,
not by any superior energy, but by the mere
influx of labor from abroad. Of course it is
only desirable that justice should be done
each section, that no invidious comparison
should be made. To sustain his vindication
of Southern energy, Captain Maury mokes
the following quotation from the report of the
Bureau of Statistics at Washington, on com
merce and navigation, for 1867:

els Indian corn in Southern States, 42|, in all
the others, 19, in 1860.
After quoting other statistics Commodore
Maury continued:
“Hr. Dulinai- estimates the population of
the South for the year ending June 30th,
1866, at 9,568,709, and of all the States to
gether at 34,505,882. According to this state
ment the South in 1866 had very nearly the
population that, the whole United States had
m 1820; and what were the exports of the
whole country in that year? $51,000,000.
The South in 1866 exported, according to the
same authority, $272,000,000, specie value, or
more than five dollars to one. In 1850 the
whole population of the United States was in
round numbers 23,000,000, and the domestic
exports amounted that year to $136,000,000.
The South now, with not half the population
of 23,000,000, exports $272,000,000—that is,
2 for 1.” i •
Com. Mauiy anticipates the scoffing reply
of the enemies of the South, which would
pretend to attribute the large amount of fsur-
rplus exports sent abroad to the superior labor
of the freedmen, but suggests that six mil
lions of whites have reinforced the labor of
the country, much of which among the freed
men has been demoralized. - In. regard to the
unemployed water power of the Sonth, and
the coal and iron mines lying idle, this, he
alleges, is simply because agriculture’is more
remunerative’to the South than any other in
dustrial pursuits.
It would seem entirely, unnecessary to the
vindication of Northern energy that the Sonth,
which certainly in the late war showed any
thing but a want of vim and resolution, should
he continually held up as wanting in enter
prise and vigor. Until a recent period its
aspirations have never led it very far into the
field of manufactures and commerce, and
have been on the whole, among its leading
men, rather political than material ' It must
be admitted that the Southern statesmen,
who were for. so long a period and to a large
extent at the head of the government; showed
a capacity for advancing it in all the elements
of power and greatness, and an administra
tive energy which betokened qualities - of will
and intfallectnal and moral force which have
never been in this country surpassed. If the
comparative physical disadvantages of the
North have only stimulated it to the most ex
traordinary .ingenuity and determination.-it.
need not be denied that the South can give
a good account of the blessings of soil and
climate with which she is favored. That the
South should even now, with not half the pop-
Ulation of the United States in 1850, and just
emerged from a war in which her soil, from
end to end, has been trampled down and de
vastated by hostile armies, and in which she
has suffered a sacrifice of preperty, credits
and values, estimated by Senator Doolittle as
at least nine thousand million dollars, export
two to one of the exports of the whole United
States in 1850, is a wonderful fact, testifying
to the prodigious reenperative “power of the
soil aud the people. Such a region ought to
be developed aud replenished by the industry
of the whole country, for there is more than
room enough and : incentives to labor for all
in a region which is as large as Great Britain,
France, Austria, Prussia and Spain; which

of those who saw and.
.' During the war, when the
bands of the Federal forces,
excavations mate' at Chattanooga, - Knox
ville, Murfreesboro and Nashville, revealed a
great many' curious' remains which were can
ned away to the North. Previous to the labors
of Dr. Jones, however, no systematical efforts
had been entered into to collect and classify
the antiquities and remains of the people who
constructed the mounds and built the graves
which are so numerous all over Tennessee.
The Doctor commenced last year a series of
explorations, which ho continued with unaba-
ted ardor up to within a few weeks ago. The.
result of lus labors iu the antiquarian field
has been most gratifying. He has succeeded
in collecting a finer array of relics and re
mains than ever was secured of any other
extinct American race. The rostrum of the
hall last night was covered with a large num
ber of implements, limnan remains, vases,
ornaments, idols, etc., which had been ex
humed under his supervision from the mounds
of our State. The Doctor gave an acconntof
his researches into a large mound in Giles
county. Here, in the centre of the pyramid,
he discovered the remains of a great chief,
buried with-numerous relics, and around him
the skeletons of some of his subjects. Drift
ing into the sides of the artificial mounds,
ashes, bits of pottery and bones of both hu
man boings and animals were found,- mixed
up in one incongruous conglomeration, often
with beautiful specimens of vases and shell
ornaments. Specimens of the bnmed crust
of these mouuds, beneath the present soil,
were exhibited. Two large stone idols were
shown, carved out of a dark iron-colored
rock, the largest some thirteen inches in
height, and tiie others perhaps four inches
less in stature. One represented a female,
and has the hair gathered np behind under a
diminutive sort of water-fall, while in the
longer specimen, that of a nude, the hair was
represented twisted into a sort of queue, not
unlike the style of our forefathers in the
Revolutionary times. The lecturer, to
please the lady hearers, gave a short de
scription of the lout ensemble of one of the
femide mound-builders. With hair gathered
in a graceful knot behind ears pierced and
filled with huge riugs of shell or bone, nose
likewise ornamented with an enormous bal
ancing weight, she must have been an en
chanting creature. Two copper crosses were
exhibited, together with three vases, the out
sides of which were divided into three reg
ular compartments, having three crosses and
three crowns, symbolic, the Doctor claimed,
of the Christian religion, the Trinity and the
Virgin Mary. The signs of the Catholic re
ligion, he stated, were wonderfully prominent.
in a great many of the relics thus for brought
to light. Ou the great mound near Franklin,
230 feet in diameter, evidently stood a gigan
tic temple of the suu. Religious Rymbols
were plentiful there. Two remarkable vases
were exhumed, one uot unlike a child’s foot,
with the opening at the heel, and the other
surmounted with a carved head with a hel
met, having a remarkable resemblance to that
of a Spanish cavalier. The speaker inferred
from this that the extinct people were not
nnfamiliar with the haughty race whose con
quest in Mexico and l’uru read almost like
romance of the. wildest character. Here he
found, too, the skeleton of a child, the face
of which was covered with a curious shell
bearing occult hieroglyphics, among which
could be distinguished perfect tri
angles. This monnd was graced with the
stump of a tree, which, when cut down
twenty years ago, could not have beeii less
than two centuries old. An idol exhumed
from the mouth of Lick Branch, Nashville,
was also displayed, and a small female effigy
in white clay, with the marks of the cross
upon the shoulders. The Doctor everywhere
found traces that the aborigines of this coun
try may have come in contact with civilized
nations long before the discovery of America
by Columbus. He gave a short sketch of
some of the explorations of the Scandina
vians, Danes and Icelanders, anddhe colonies
they fonnded in the New World. But to
these fearless navigators could not be ascribed
the knowledge the mound-builders of Ten
nessee had of tlie cross and the symbols of
religion. It was rather to be referred to a
late period, when the early Catholic missions
were founded npon the shores of the New
World some 300 years ago. In 1564 the
Catholic sovereign of Spain was attacked with
a terrible religious zeal, and he sent out one
Francisco, with , a large, body of co-workers,
to convert and evangelize the Indians. They
.planted themselves at St Augustine, ou the
shores of Florida, and for twenty-five years the
. missionary was very successful. He founded a
great many missions, and partially Christian
ized a great many of the savages. Delegates
were sent to the parent society of St Augustine
and to the convent of St Helena. The Spaniads -
appear to have encouraged marriages between
the young people of their own race and those
of the Indians, and to have lived' with them,
on terms of the greatest intimacy. The
mound-builders of Tennessee, the Doctor
thought, must certainly have belouged to the
great Natchez tribe,. who, coming from the
South, spread themselves throughout the
valley of the Mississippi and its larger
branches. When in the height of their em
pire, they probably numbered ,500,000. The-
lecturer thought it extremely curious, the
mixture of Christianity niid idolatry found
among those people. While the great funda
mental principles of the true-religion were so
familiar to them, they worshiped stone effigies
and adored the sun,' and were probably guilty
of human sacrifices. The Doctor exhibited a
great number of implements of warfilre, such
as stone, axes, arrow-heads, knives, spears,
&c. Also, culinery utensils, mortars Used
for grinding Indian corn and paint. The
lecture was listened to throughout with the
greatest interest, but time fails us for more
than a passing sketch of its riches. We un-
d era fond that a scientific society, of the East
will soon publish a book, from the pen of Dr.
Jones, on the antiquities of our State, with
particular reference to the mound-builders of
Tennessee. We feel assured that it will prove
one of the most interesting books of the kind
ever published in this country.

Appeal, to.theJSyviss anil to tlie Friends of
Switzerland in tbe United States.
A calamity bas-he&llen the cantons of Tes
sin, Valais, Grisons, St. Gall and Uri, which,
in its immensity, stands unequaled in the an
nals of Switzerland. On the 27th of Septem
ber rain- commenced to fall in torrents along
the northern and southern slopes of the Alps,
and continued to decend, with but little in
termission, for eight days. During all this
time a powerful south wind raged furiously
amidst the masses of snow and ice which had
lain undisturbed for centuries in their inac
cessible Alpine strongholds.
Every mountain rivulet swelled into a rush
ing stream, every stream into a torrent, car
rying appalling destruction in its coarse.
The rivers of Tessin, the Rhone, the Reuss,
the Rhine, and the Inn, in their relentless
power, obliterated many of the choicest beau
ties of. nature, impoverished thousands of
families, and hurried hundreds to a watery
grave.'-' - j: • ■ —
Heart-rending and vain was the straggle of
human hands against the overpowering force
of the watery element. On it came, in the
dead of night, terrible in its might, scattering
destruction far and wide, and piling np in
the meadows the mountain debris of ages.
Rocks weighing hundreds of tons were torn
from their resting places, and in their course
joined the revelry of destruction. Whole
forests, vineyards and meadows stacked with
grain, have disappeared, and, in many places,
not a vestige of roads, bridges, and fences
are left; houses, mills, and factories are torn
from their foundations, and even cemeteries
and charnnl-houses have been invaded, and
their contents scattered along the coarse of
the devastation. Thousands of cattle lie
choked in mad, and thousands of our fellow-
beings are reduced to abject poverty.
A * * » _ » * W *
Aud we, fellow-countrymen and brethren,
shall we stand aloof ? Shall we leave un
heeded the cry of distress, the pleading eye j
cast over from beloved Switzerland? No, no,
must be the ready response of every heart.
The painful tidings from our sorely-visited
brethren will find an echo here in bountiful
ly-blessed’America. A mite from every feel
ing heart, a gift from eveiy generous hand,
and this visitation of Almighty God will af
ford another proof of the truthfulness of our
country’s motto, “One for all and all for
one.”
The unusual exigencies of this national
calamity moke an appeal to the philanthropy
of his countrymen and his country’s friends,
on the part of the undersigned, virtually ob
ligatory.
Fellow-countrymen in the United States,
np, then, and be doing in the noble work of
relieving our suffering brethren ! Organize,
and let us labor promptly, unitedly and earn
estly.
Donations can be sent by mail or express
to the undersigned, or intrusted to the Swiss
consulate at New York, Philadelphia, Charles

Hundreds suffer on in aOeaoe, sod hundreds of
others apply vainly to druggists and doctors, «bs
either merely tantalize them with the hope of A euro
or apply remedies which make them worse. I would
not wish to assert anything that would do Injustice to
the afflicted, but I am obliged to say that although it
may be produced from excessive erhsnatlnn of ths
powers of life, by laborious employment, unwhole
some air and food, profuse menstruation, tee use of
tea and coffee, and frequent ohlldbirth, it isfaroftmer
caused by direct irritation, applied to the ZBUCQUg
membrane of the vagina itself
When reviewing the causes of these distressing com
plaints, it is most painful to contemplate the attendant
evils consequent upon them. It is but simple justice
to the subject to enumerate a few of the many addi
tional causes which so largely affect the life, health,
and happiness of woman in all classes of society, and
which, consequently, affect, more or less directly, tew
welfare of the entire human family. The mania that
exists for precocious education and marriage cause*
the years that nature designed for corporeal develop
ment to be wasted and perverted in the restraints of
dress, the early confinement of school, and especially
in the unhealthy excitement of tee ball-room. Thus,
with the body half-clothed, and the mind, unduly ex-
cited by r 1a *”TTf. perverting in. midnight jXivel
hours designed by nature for deep and rest, the work
of destruction is ***** accomplished.
In consequence ofteiaeariy strain upon her system,
unnecessary effort is required by the daiicste votary to
retain her situation In school at a later day, tens ag
gravating the evil. When one excitement is over,
another in prospective keeps tee mind morbidly sen
sitive to imprer.riiou, while the now constant restraint
of fashionable dress, absolutely forbidding tee exer
cise indispensable to tbe attainment sad retention of
organic health and. strength; the exposure to night
air; the sudden change ot temperature; the complete
prostration produced by excessive dancing, must, of
necessity, produce their legitimate effect. At last, mxt
early marriage caps the climax of misery, and the un-
fortunate one, hitherto so utterly regardless of the
plain dictates and remonstrances of her delicate
nature, becomes an unwilling subject &f medical treat
ment. This is but a truthful picture of the experlefic*
of thousands of our young women.
