PniNCR ALBERT.
A new road bas been mado from Tuccoa
city to Tallulah Falls The d.'stanoo is said to
be fourteen miles, aud, as we only pay for
riding that distance, in courtesy let ua call it
fourteen, but it must bo an air-line—hor
isontal—fourteen with a braid pattern of
oarriage road drawn around it. In and out,
up and down, and around the hills, and over
the mountains, it eeemed to us twice the four
teen.
We had a new hack, strong, new Lrrness, a
moat skillful driver, Mr L . of the Le
Croy House, Tuoooa city, kindly offering hie
services, we were assured of a safe and pleas
ant trip. Our teem ? Well of that we can
* only say that we were familiar with half of
it, as would be moot of ibof# *ho.*ttoml our
State Fairs, and take an interest in stock
raising. Our right bower was a big, strong;
gentle black mule—to the left was Prince
Albert, the celebrated Canadian, who gath
ered in all the prizes offered in his liue at
two or three fairs in Atlanta and Macon.—
Something iu the loss of his head and mane
induced a remark when we wore informed of
our old acquaintnee with him.
Here we might moralize, for our thoughts
took a pathetic turn when we thought of the
0. changes Time had so swiftly brought to him
Behold him then, tossing his mane, hfs bead
erect, his nostrils distended, bright ribbons
floating from liis bridle, peerless of his-kiud,
the pet of stable men and stock raises, now
in three short years, a very drudge, wearily
dragging a heavy hack, on the mountain
roads, averaging, thirty miles i*r days to
gether under the heavy baud of merciless
drivers, deriding the labor with % mule!
Alas, Prince- Albert, how hast the mighty
fallen!
It is pitiful to see his patient plodding,
going on t>e same even tenor, whether to
* travel to Tallulah Away off on the mountains,
or to Tuccoa, the lovely, near and easy of
aocess, it is all one to the dethroned Prince.
We think in a new era where his kind
were engaged in politics. Prince would an
gler with cqtnl Id indness to the call “Want
ed a horse,” whether the race were for leg
islative, congressional or gubernatorial hon
ors. Not, that suck an idea ever entered his
equine pate, but if it should be engendered
Aby party craft, he’s just ilie amiable nature
for a party hack, ready to be sacrificed.—
But to return. Prince did his duty in the
bumble office assigned him, and in five hours

THE GRANDEST SCENE IN GEORGIA-
We have no words to describe Tallulah, it
is indeed terrible iu the grandeur of its
Only a few hundred distant are the Falls. It
is almost enough to make one profane even
in his adoration of the^Divine Creator* in
contemplating the glorious scene. The pious
Jew wouid have felt tempted to call on the
unpronounciblename had such a scene burst
on bis view in the Holy Land. .
The mighty walls of rock, the raging wa
ters breaking their way ihrongh the deep
gorge, the splendid frost, the brilliant sun
shine, the glorious sky with its blue and
white clouds floating serenely above all,
everything called to the profoundest depths
our emotional nature for humble adoration j
and thanksgiving jto Him who made it all for
His own glory. Everything is teeming with
beauty, even the tiny flowers, lichens and
mosses remind one of His care for things as
small as we feel ourselves to be, in bis great
presence.
Artists have exhausted their skill in ef«
forts to impart an idea of the beauty of Tsk
lulah, but all iu vain. No band oonld paint,
no camera reflect a picture that could do
more than create a desire to see what is so
faintly delineated. Gazing np the stream
we see first the rapids, then Lodore, fitly
named, as everything seems to bo, and “How
the waters come down from Lodore,” is as
wonderful here as in piotnresque Wales.—
Then oomes Tempests, a beautiful fall, eter
nally in a tempest of rage, then the wild and
tremendous Hurricane, making the same
volume of water look greatly increased, and
pressing afterwards more mildly into the
gentler Oceans, fonr magnificent falls taken
in at one glance of the eye. On the opposite
side is a square mouthed Cavern called Vul
can's Forge. Beneath our feet the Devil'i
Pulpit.- The very stones have sermons in
them. It wouhl he a grand stand for one so
persuasive. Very near is. the Poet’s Cradle.
The dullest might be rocked into something
like eestacy here,—the divine aflklus seems
fioatidg iu the very air we breathe.
But we must u d linger at our will, for the
ledges on the mountain sides, between the
carriage rut and eiernity. seem to unaccus
tomed eyes exceeding narrow. So we turn
ed regretfully away to return to oor then
present headquarters at the LeCroy House,

In the short two miles, we cross the stjeam

beauties bursting on our vision at every step-
until we catch a glimpse of the blue mist

“To Ihr Colored Voters of this Sec
tion.”
The Dawson Journal is wide-awake to the
present eanvass, and addresses some sensi
ble views to the colored voters. Under the
above caption it says :
Not one among your number who can read,
(and we wish there were more of that kind)
who will not subscribe to the truth of the as
sertion that documents are cironlated among
the colored raoe,wbioh are calculated to breed
a spirit of antagonism against those among
whom they live. This is certainly true. We
desire to ask the oolored voters if peace
tnd harm >ny does not prevail save on the
ere of elections? We ask them, candidly, if
(bey ever have any ne»s of '*forty acres and
i mule,” save wi*.en Whit el ey returns from his
two years’ trip to Congress, and asks them to
send him back ? To bow many of your oolor has
he over made an offer of office? Is It not
always—“give me (Wbiteley) office?” Were
not thirty of the forty delegates-to the Re
publioan Convention st Albany man of color,
and was a single one of them an officer of the
government? Were not ten of the white
skins officers of the government, without
single exception? No. colored men ; you
have been and continue to be blinded by
scalawags. The more intelligent of your
race, those who road—are witnesses to the
fact that conflicts between the races have
been more numerous and stubborn since the
opening of the present campaign than ever
before. Perfect peace bad beeo enjoyed he.
tween the races in Georgia ever since the

and Freeman* began to disturb the political
element. Let us remind (he colored men of
the' Second Congressional District that
Wiiitelev hasn’t got land for all of them to
work, nor wagens for alt of them to drive. If
yon would continue to secure peaceable
homes, where you cat* day up* a little every
year, and after awhile purchase a home of
your own, «'o not al:t»w yourselves beguiled
by Wbiteley and his followers, who only de
sire your friendah'p that they may ride into
office on your backs.

-Where dp yon find the white Radioals ?”
Are they following the plow handles or work
ing at the mechanic’s bench? No. sir; bnt
ifyou want to find one who generally assumes
to be a leader, -*go to these same little towns’
that Wbiteley speaks so contemptuously
ibout and bunt out an office that can be. filled
by Radical patronage, and there you will
2nd him. Whether he wears ‘good clothes’
or not, he draws his pay from the office he
holds, perhaps by favor oi Wbiteley, or per

An esteemed correspondent writes as fol
lows: “There is no donbt that your readers
will be much gratified to learn that one of
South Carolina’s most distinguished sons has
given expression to his views on the political
condition of the country In such a shape that
they may go forth to the pnblie authorita
tively. He bas consented to tlo this at the
request of many friends, who were desirous
of giving them publicity, that the world
might see how little reason any honest, in
telligent Republican has to taunt the repre*
sentative men of the Sooth with being irrec
oncilable. General Kershaw has.heretofore
filled every position to which h» bas been
elevated with^ fidelity, courage, intelligence
and a high sense of honor, which demand of
his oountrymen an unhesitating confi Jence in
any professions he may make, and with him
there are thousands of true men ready to
make the same professions, and honorably
act np to them. It may be that if, indeed,
tbe era of peace and good will is dawning
upon our unhappy State, this public express
bIoq of opinion will hasten that long expect
ed event, and entitle him to the lasting grat
itude of all true patriots for these bold and

Camden, 8. C., July 27, 1874-
My Dear Sir;—Your valued favor of the
11th inst is before me for reply.
I have arrived at certain conclusions in my
own mind in regard to the masters upon
whieb you desire the expression of my opin
ions, and 1 give them for what they may
be worth.
The restoration of an honest, economical
and competent government to South Carolina
at this juncture. I consider the paramount
duty of her citizens Such means and such
sacrifices, consistent with honor, must be
sorted to as may he found necessary, practi
cable and expedient to accomplish that
end. With us it is no longer a question of
Republicanism and Democracy. Tho strag
gle is for an honest government under which
we can live and prosper: In comparison
with that, party distinctions .should go for
nothing. Seeking no political triumph, but
simply the substitution of honest and respon
sible government for the horde of plunder*
era who have robbed and degraded the State,
and thrown her back at least twenty years
in the march of improvement, we are entitled
to the sympathy and support of every right
thinking man, whatever be bis political opin
ions.
A better feeling pervades the whole conn*
try. It is a great pleasure to note the steady
growth of mure kindly sentiment and feeling
toward the South on the part of the North.—
In act and utterance we should at aR limes
cordially reciprocate the generous and triend
ly overtures held out to us so frequently of
late by the Northern people and press, and
without distinction of party, and especially
by the officers and soldiers of the Union ar
mies, whose magnanimous and soldierly con
duct in honoring the memory of their fallen
foemen, on many recent occasions, is the best
pledge yet offered of a restored, liappy and
united Americanism. I am sure that in our
effort to rescue the Stnte we will have the
cordial support of the public opinion and
press of the North; but more important, be*
cause more immediate than-these, the aid of
the Federal Executive.
President Grant can do more for the speedy
restoration of the State than all other influ
ences from without; and although I have no
political information, other than Bush as is
common to all having access to the papers of
the day, still, from the perusal of these, I en
tertain strong hopes he wHl not withhold his
great'influence from so good a work. There
is no overt hostility to his administration in
any part of the South ; certainly none of any
sort in an organised form iu this State. On
the contrary, the Conservative element look
to him as their chief, if not only hope of good
government. Congress has been appealed to,
and is powerless to remedy the evils under
which we suffer. The Executive alone can
constitutionally and legally assist us. It
would be the crowning glory of General
Grant’s administration to effect a reconstruc
lion, and restore to the plundered and ruined
States of the South, the blessings of good
government, and the opportunity to enjoy and
to contribute to the future prosperity of the
country. I cannot think that he will be in
different, and 1 know how gratefully his aid
would be appreciated by our suffering South
Caroliniaus. Could lie be brought face to
face with tbe monstrous evils which degrade
and oppress us. nothing could prevent him
from employing every prerogative of his vast
power to crush them forever.
After all, however, our relief depends
mostly upon our own people, Let them or.
ganize and consolidate all honest men who
can rise above unworthy prejudices and par
ty slavery, to rescue the State from anarchy,
ruin, and in the end. a bloody despair.- Re
specting the Republican principles of the
oolored citizens, we should earnestly seek
their co-operation ia tbe movement. Tbe
State has been plunged into this ruin by the
rapacity and dishonesty of their trusted
leaders, who have brought shame and oblo
quy upon the party, whose honor and inter-
•esta were In their keeping, and trampled
every right and interest of the whole people
in theirrinaatiate greed fer plunder. They
owe the State some reparation for tbe past,
and surely we may hope that there are some
thousands having sufficient honesty, intelli
gence aud patriotism to join the hue and cry
against the robber band.
Not many wonld be required, for the true
majority has always been exaggerated. The
whites have never been fully polled sinoe the
war, and the ballot has never been from fioro
frauds. To secure such co-operation the
honest oolored people should be invited to a
fall share of all public office. Power en
trusted to us should ba administered without
favor or prejudice, so a* to secure the best
interest of the whole people,.Jtrotect equally
in the enjoyment of bts just rights every citi
zen, however high or humble, and promote
the welfare of all alike, so far as may oome
within the legitimate sphere of government.
Upon -such principles only can harmony
and good govenment be secured in the presrt
slate of soeiety here. Cooperation in this
good work would lead to mutnal dependence,
respect and good will, and tend more to the
elevation and development of the colored
people than all other possible expedients
I consider these views worth pondering
at this time with refernce to the tax payers’
movement and the promised reform in the
Republican party. Of course the policy of
the people can only be settled by conventions
of tbeir authorized representatives, but it is
well to take counsel together and to inter
change views beforehand, in order that the
public mind may settle down upon such
measures as may be approved after due con
sideration. I firmly believe the hour of de
liverance is at hand, if we but be true to
ourselves. Indeed, the crisis does not ad
mit the thought of failure. Success is a
necessity; failure is death and disgrace to
the Common welt h.
I need not say to you that I do not presume
to dictate a policy, and consider my opinions
of much less importance than you seem to
attribute to them ; such as they are, they are
heartily at your service.
Very truly yours,
J. B. KERsnaw.
A M helrsome Letter.
Mrs. Swisshelm on the Beecher Case.
Editor of Chicago Tribune.]
A twenty years’ experienced of newspaper
war—of war to the kuiffe aud the kife to the
hilt—leaches me to feel that, when one is as
sailed by public accusation, the case, if
worthy of any attention, demands explicit
proof or the falsity of the charge, or a civil
suit for libel, as this last is generally the only
way by which an accuser can furnish proof.
Hal Mr. Tilton published his charge against
Mr. Beecher in six lines, and put his name
to it, and Mr. Beecher bad not brought ac
tion ; iu six months the verdict of guilty
must have been rendered by ninety-nine out
of every hundred intelligent people
Another point of general interest in this
cafe is the glimpse it gives us of the new-fash
ioned business of making patehwork hus
bands. _
Ladies seem to have taken to it as a substi
tute for tbe old amusement of making patch
work-quills. A woman is to have bul one
husband ; and, failing to find in one man the
qualities which satisfy her, she takes several
more, and extracting special qualities from
eaoh patches these together and makes unto
herself a partner who »t»i‘s her to a nicety.
In this case, Theodore suited Elizabeth in
some respects much better than Mr Beecher
or any one else, and in these respects no one
—not even the sympathetic Henry—could
supplant him; but, alae! Elizabeth was a
Irinitarian, while Theodore failed to see the
truth of this central figure in her faith, and
so here stood a large part of her spiritual na
ture in a state of positive celibacy ! what was
to be done? Should this trusting, confiding
nature remain half-mated? Should the most
important part of this human vine grovel on
the ear/2^ for wai.t of a suitable oak on which
to climb into the upper air? Forbid it all
the affinities! God knows ..Uwould not make
light of the sin or sorrow of any living crea
ture, but tbe twaddle contained in Mrs. Til
ton’s confession is such a burlesqe! Well, is
it not a natural outgrowth of much that has
been called “popular literature” for the last
half century? How many thousand heroines
have been sent forth into our world of fiction,
whose hnsbands ha\e wickedly perseverieJ in
devoting themselves to business in order that
they might roll in luxury and idleness. When
one of these pretty darlings first discovers
that her Mr. Smith is not the Frederic Augus
tus she bad dreamed of in boarding-school,
she is inconsolable; but, by and by* some
fellow comes along who is absolutely “all
soul,” except his mustache, and bas not any
thing on earth to do but to twiddlehis thumbs.
In bim the afflicted heroine finds something
wanting in her plodding partner, and soon
sets In work to patch up a husband out of the
material thus furnished to her hand. Old
Counting-house supplies, the drawingrooms
and carriages, and young Twiddle Twaddle
furnishes companionship while lounging in
them; and this is all recorded as perfectly
Innocent, until it comes to that point at which
human law stamps the intercourse a crime.
Our literature has been positively weighed
down with accounts of women who have sold
themselves at the altar, and found consola
tion in the Platonic regard of men who satis
fy tbeir soub*want, while the men they mar
ried pay their tniliner and hotel bills; and
their pictures are often painted in such colors
that, to tens of thousands of eyes, they ap*
pear very poetic, and even charming Never
did a serpent more successfully hide amid
rosea than sin in the passion-laden romances
which prove so large a part of the mental
nutriment of American women, and no class
of these is so detrimental to public morals as
those which deal in Platonic attachments of
neglected wives
Nothin * all women need more to keep in
mind than this .* a husband must be made of
whole cloth. All his properties must be
found in one man, or be finally dispensed
with. The instant a wife finds that any.
other mafi may |ossibly supply to her 'soxne»*
thing lacking in him to whom she has plighted
her faith, her only safe plan is, down brakes,
reverse engine, and make a dead halt, be
fore switching off on another track. No wo»
man is justified in taking any man into her
confidence abontany want of harmony be
tween her and her husband, unless she has
-resolved upon separation, or her confidant is
her father, .brother, or uncle. If she be too
weak to bear her burden in silence, or to lay
it down, let her seek the confidence of one
of her own sex, or of some man and his wife
whom she can consult together. This is the
only rafe plan, and she who presnmea on her
reputation and innocence of intention to neg
lect such precaution, is likely to find herself
in need of long explanations which never can
be quite satisfactory.
“Avoid the appearance of evil,” is a Scrip
ture injunction especially applicable to un
happy wives, and she who makes her matri
monial troubles subject to any confidence
with a male friend, seeks, instead of avoid
ing. this appearance, and is, in^ large de
gree, unfaithful to her marriage vow. That
editor who is trying to win sympathy for his
false wife as one “crucified between two mal* -
efactors,” simply talks blasphemy. He to
whom he likens her was the pure dying for
the impure. She is the sinner meeting the
just reward of her sin—the- persistent, im
penitent sinner, who for years violated her
marriage vow in receiving the frequent visits
of a man with whom her husband believed
her to hold improper relations. Where is the
self-respect, where the wifely fidelity of a
woman who. by her own showing, reeeived
semi monthly visits for-five years from
man, while, all the time, her husband was
oharging her with the crime of adultery ? A
woman who says she felt her self-respect
strengthened by such visits, and told her
marital sorrows to such a visitor, is a strange
representation of Bim who was indeed cruci
fied between two malefactors.

If The Wiiitrs Quit Voting the Radical
Ticket. Whitklky Thinks a War of Races
Will Follow.—The leading disposition of
white people of this county to vote hereafter
as a unit, baa somewhat troubled the soul
of t hat delectable disciple of Social Eutiality,
Major R. H. Whitely. Iu bis late Fourth
of July speech to the negroes, he drew quite a
tragic skretch of what would happen In the
country should the whites, as announced by
some of their “penny sheets,” cany out the
idea that the time had come when the iasn*
had become, a question of color. He pre- I selves foM^ie^ih^^ctSnbwinmA LuJ^JSider'
dieted a war of races, and in his heated I *«d advice of Experienced Accountants,
rhetoric hurled anathemas countless upon 1 * owld * M * , * d
those small newspapers who had dared ad
vocate such an enormity. And when that
sftttggle for the ascendency of race diderme^
Ac; Dick Whilely, Would place tbe responsi
bility upon those to whom it properly be
longed, then woe be unto them!
It is all right with Dick for there to be a
“Black Man’s Party.” (so long as they elect
him to' office) but the base idea of a White
JfafsPoi’ty suggests to him a war of races.
No, Richard, you are mistaken about such
an event as that. The whites mean to follow
what you Have councelled the blaeks to do
since the. war—and that ts to stand up to tbei**
race and color. There will be do war, a^fl
no-trouble unless your'infamous Civil Rights
bill passes, and the,amount of it will be the
lifeless of a few impudent negroes, and we
hope a few scalawags of your order of think
ing.
If there ever is a war of races, Richard* it
wiUbe of your concooting; and while we
know that yon would put your precious aelf
out of all danger, we nevertheless tell you,
that in snch an event yoat wonld be the first
“nigger” sought for, and if yon didn’t have
a good “start,” the fates wonld beagainst
yon.
The fact is, Whitely is playing his last
card and anything he can say or do. regard
less of decency or truth, to further his elec
tion will be done without hesitation.

THEIR FACILITIES
The Reconciliation of Toombs and
Stephens.
There has been a very wide and deep in
terest taken in the misunderstanding between
General Toombs and Mr. Stephens. Both
gentlemen have numberless friends all over
the State who deprecate the difference The
reconciliation has awakened a lively expres
sion of gratification with bnt one or two very
faint suggestions of comment upon Ihe mea
gre explanation of the settlement.
From General Toombs himself, we have it
that ihe reconciliation waaabsolute, Complete
and entirely honorable to both parties, and
that be authorized the statement that he was
ready to maintain the honor, not only of him
self, but of Mr. Stephens in the transaction,
it was entirely unnecessary that tbe public
should be admitted to the terms of the settle
ment. Mntnal explanations rectified the mis
understanding and restored the parties to
their old fraternal relations,wilhout a solitary
harsh memory, or feeling of bitterness. Each
felt the same affection for and confidence in
each other as of old. and General Toomb3
avowed hts entire readiness and eager desire
to be sponsor and chr mpien of ihe integrity
of Mr. Stephens In the matter as his own.
We make this statement by his authority,
and we add on onr own, that on both sides
tbe affair has demonstrated as punctilious an
honor and as brotherly a sentiment as ever
inspired two large-hearted and noble men.—

The Only Known Medicine
THAT AT TIIS SAME TIME
Purges, Purifies,and Strengthens
the System. *
DR. TUTT’S PILLS are composed of many ingre
dients. rroininent amoug them ara Sarsaparilla and
Wild Cherry,so united os to act together; tbe one,
through its admixture with other substances, purify
ing and pnrging, while the other Ustrengthening the
system. Tims these Pills are at the same time a tonic
and a cathartic, a deslderatnm long sojght for by
medical men but uerer before considered. In other
words, they do the work of two medicines and do it
much better Ilian any two we know of, for they re
move nothing from the system but impurities, so that
while they purge they also strengthen and hence they
eznae no debility and are followed by no reaction.
D IL TUTT’S PILLS have a wonderful influence ou
the blood. They not only purify without weakening
it, but they remove all noxious particles from the
chyle before it i-j converted int^ fluid, and thus make
impure blood an utter impossibility. As there is no
debilitation, -o there is no nausea or sickness attend
ing the operation of this most excellent medicine,
which never »trein> or tortures the digestive organs
but causes them to work in a perfectly natural mari
ne; ; hence persons taking them do not become pale
aud emaciated, but on the conlrarr. while all iinpuri
ties are being removed, the combined action of tbe
Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry purine-and invigorates
the >»ody, and a robust state of hcal:h is the r^uih of
their uuired action. Price 2o cent;, a* lx>x. JjolJ by
