From the Charleston Courier. No Longer Dark. The waves of a sunset sky Were ebbing at eventide. And the misty gleams of the softened light Were fading on cvciy side. 'Twas dark whore tiie Angel Death Was watching tire household Pet; And a wild light sprung from the child's blue eye, As tire seal of Death was set. ‘•Oh, mother! ’tls dark—so dark ; The valley is drear and lone; Let me clasp your hand while you lead me through, For you can not leave your Own.” And the little hand was clasped— Was clasped with a look of woe, And a kiss was pressed on the whitened lip ; But the mother could not go. “Dear father, the waves are dark ; Tire waters so coldly flow; You will bear me through to the 1 shining shore” But the father could not go. “Tiie tempest is gathering fast, And tiie winds so wildly blow; It is dark—so dark—must I go alone f” But, alas ! for none could go. Her glance was a fearful glance; And the father knelt in prayer That a Savior’s love, and tiie tight of hope Might shine on iter wild despair. The beam of a lingering ray Had crept on the window sill, And it kissed the face of the household Pet— The face that was growing chill. And a sudden gleam of joy Encircled the cold white brow : “’Tis no longer dark, I am not afraid; For Jesus is with me now.” And the blue eyes gentlv closed ; And the hands were folded o’er; And the lips were touched with the smile of Death She had reached the “Shining Shore.” LA PETITE. "~*n -—-- Why is It ? AYe ask the careful reading by every quali fied voter of either political party, of the fol lowing questions : Why is the burden of taxation so oppres eive 7 Why are there to-day hundreds of thousands of white men and women in tho North living in dread of starvation within the present year? Why are thirty millions of white men taxed for the special benefit of a class who pay to t-xes on the great bulk of their property? Why should there he over two thousand millions of dollars exempt from taxation? If negroes are fit for freedom, why has a great poor house system for their support to ho kept up at tho expense of Northern indus try ? If the war was prosecuted for the purpose of preserving the Union, why are ten States kept out of it ? Let the answer, as your own heart and in telligence suggests, he given in November next.— Ex. Chops.—We saw a gentleman yesterday who had just returned from a trip through Ilonrv, Dale and Coffee counties, in Alabama. Tho prospect for a cotton crop is very had, ho say*.

The Radical earthquake swallows up annually $500,000,000.

I have no money to spend in des troying constitutional government. I have no money to employ in taking the clothes from poor white children’s backs to give them to idle negroes or thieving bureau agents. I have no money to give to perpetuate anarchy, robbery and rule, but will cheerfully give my money, my time and my influence to the election of Seymour and lllair, a statesman and a soldier. lle's Pardoned. —One of the Grant electors n Alabama is an ex-Confedorate captain, who swore a solemn oath never to take a Federal prisoner alive. Being a convert to Radicalism, he is now regarded as a sound tcaeher of the people, and his previous sins have all been pardoned. Any fellow that blows the Radical bugle and carries n carpet hag is considered a tit champion for Grant and Colfax, no matter what may have been his conduct during the War. The only Radical in Fulton county, Ky., has rcptctly absconded with $20,000 of other people's money. Ilenutifiil Pnssuge. The following is from the “ Reveries of a Bachelor,” by Ike Marvel: “A poor man without some Surt of religion is, at best, a poor reprobate, the football of des tiny, with no tie linking Him to infinity and the wondrous eternity that is even worse, a flume without a heat, a rainbow without eolor, a flower without perfume. A man may, in some sort, tie his hopes and honors to this weak, shifting ground tackle, in his business, or the world; hut a woman without that anchor called faith, is a drift and a wreck. A man may clumsily continue a sort of moral respon sibility, out of relation to mankind, hut woman, in her comparatively isolate 1 sphere, where af fection aid not motive, can find no basisin any other system, or right action hut that of faith. A man may craze Ills brain, or His thoughts to truthfulness in such poor harborage as fame, ami reputation may stretch before him, but woman—where can she put her hopes in storms, if not in heaven ? And the sweet trustfulness —that abiding love—that enduring hope mel lowing every page and scene of life—lightening them with pleasant radiance, when the world’s storms break like an army with cannon ! Who can bestow its all but holy soul, tied to what is stronger than an army’with cannon ? Who has enjoyed the thought with energy, and hal lowed it with a tear?” The West. Advices, private and newspaper, state that in Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and Illinois a most extraornary enthusiasm for the Demo cratic cause prevails. The meetings far sur pass anything seen in that country for the last twenty years. The processions are computed by miles, and fifteen and twenty thousand have been a very ordinary attendance upon a public meeting. The State Central Committee telegraph the Cincinnati Enquirer as folj lows : Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 17, 1868. We have advices from all parts of the State which make assurance doubly sure that Ohio will give a Deiiricratic majority in October, and then go for Seymour and Blair in Novem ber. From Detroit, the same paper has the follow ing dispatch : This evening there are in progress two torchlight processions. One was goiten up by the Radicals, with two carpet hag Govern ors as the attraction, which drew a pro cession of six hundred torches. The other is a monster procession of Democrats, with thre thousand tcrelic--, numerous banners and a cavalcade of horsmen. The procession extended nearly three miles, and created tlir- utmost enthusiasm along the line of march which was crowded with spectators. Speaking in German, French and English is now going on from stands adjacent to the Democratic headquarters. The Ktfects of Radicalism. Tennessee has been reconstructed aud under Radical rule for two years. A correspondent gives tills picture of the condition of affairs in that State which this rule lias brought about: “Tliere is no sadder picture in the blood written history of Tennessee than that presen ted at this time. With all the natural strength and wealth of a nation in itself, and an almost tropical beauty and richness of scenery, there is no spot on earth more cursc-d, no land so blighted,no dependency more completely at the mercy of a systematic despotism. When any country is brought to that stage where its own people—those who have proudly watched its growth in prosperous days 5 who have built up all that is great and good within it, and who ask for no hotter heritage that a quiet grave beneath its peaceful skies—are forced to flee to other lands for the protection they can not receive at home, there is little hope for liberty there.” A IJrnve Act by a Brave Girl. The Boston Transcript, of a reccntdate, says “several women wore bathing at Vahantinthe early part of the week, when one was carried out by a sea beyond her depth, and after scream ing for assistance, suddenly went down. One of her friends, close by, not knowing the depth of the water, went to try and save her, and sho too as quiek!v disappeared. A young woman residing in the family of Dr. Miffin, at Nahant, named Bridget’Mary O'Toole, (her name is given in full, to her praise, for it is worthy of record,) at a great risk, instantly swam ont to them, and nfter a hard struggle brought them into shoal water—having her own bathing dress almost torn from her, and being twice drawn under the water. Those who witnessed the scene at once reported the facts to the Humane Society, and the girl is to be presented with a medal for her heroism anil humanity.” The Air Line Railroad. The Anderson (S. C.,) Intelligencer of the 23d ult, contains the following notice of the progress of the Air Line Railroad in that State and into North Carolina : “In the House, on Wednesday last, the hill to amend the charter of the Air Lino Railroad, from Atlanta, Georgia, to Charlotte, North Carolina, was under discussion. The amend ments allow the Road to receive subscriptions of land or labor, and issue preferred stock to the amount of 5i,000,000. The bill finally passed, having previously received its third reading in the Senate. In a conversation with the President of the road, Col. Buford, we were led to believe that this important enter prise will be pressed forward without delay.” “You arc at the very bottom of the hill,” said the physician tq a sick patient, “but I shall endeavor to get you up again. “I seer I shall ho out of breath before I reach the top,” was tho reply. }>'hat Mr.Seymour Says Abont the election. “Pink,” the New York correspondent of the Charleston Courier, in a letter, writes as fol lows : I can communicate to your readers the grat ifying intelligence that on Wednesday last Governor Seymour, in a conversation held at Utica with a member of the State Committee, expressed his entire confidence in the coining success of the Democratic ticket. The Gover nor lee’s assured that he will he the next President of the United States. All the evi dence in regard to the progress of the canvass throughout the whole country is now pointing in that direction. He acknowledged that at first there was not visible evidence of success. It took some weeks after the nominations had been made for some sections of the country to reconcile themselves to his (Seymour's) posi tion on finances, but now all is working ad mirably, and (lay by day, almost, tho strength of the ticket is increasing. In one word, Mr. Seymour is convinced Democracy will succeed. He does not attribute that to his personal popularity, hut to the almost universal desire for a change of party to administer the affairs of the Government. lam personally acquain ted with the gentleman who had the above conversation with Governor Seymour, and he informs me that he has known the Governor for the last thirty years, and always found him correct in his prophecies in regard to his (Sey mour’s) own chances in this State, and also to national elections. Bovs in Blue for Seymour.—The editor of the Huntsville Democrat says: “\Ye have conversed with a good many of the soldiers of the eight companies of the United States Infantry, stationed at this post, and they assure us that they believe there is not a private in their ranks who is favorable to the election of Grant—all for Seymour.— A private of one of the companies remarked that while stationed at Selma, they had one Grant man, and he deserted. The privates of the loth regiment, which left Huntsville a few weeks ago, made the same report as to their political predilections. Are these “hoys in blue rebels and disloyal ?” Warning to Courting Young Men.—An exchange tells of a lawsuit brought by the father of a young lady against a young man who had been courting his (the father’s) Lu cinda. The suit was brought to recover for the use of room, lights, fuel, meals, etc., while the young man was courting Lucinda at the house of plaintiff. The prosecution showed that the defendant was at his house from three to five nights per week ; that lie nsuallv re mained until four o’clock in tho morning, and oftentimes after breakfast. The case attracted much attention. The decision is one that will interest young men who are in the habit of “sipping drops from tho bewitching cup of bliss ” until four o’clock in the morning, in as much as it allows them to continue sipping such nectar without fear of lawsuits for dam ages. The Justice rendered a decision of “no cause of action.” Wonderful Story, if True. —A wonderful story is in circulation in this town this mor ning”ahout a man at CristieiJ, who has been stricken down for blasphemy. The story runs thus: The man (we can't learn the name) on liunday last started off very early to go fishing. His wife persuaded him not to go, insisting lie would ho violating tho laws of God by so doing. The man remarked that he could go and “catch a mess offish before Jesus Christ would awake," and proceeded to tho An namessix river. On arriving at the shore 110 sank down in the sand up to his neck, where he still remains, notwithstanding every cfllu t to extricate him by digging away tho sand.— This has been done, and his hoots cut to free his feet, hut he still remains there as inextri cable as ever. Mr. Wilson, our telegraph agent at Clayton, sent a telegram last night to learn tho facts in the ease, and the operator at Crisfield replied that they were as stated above. The greatest excitement is reported to prevail there. Wc give the item as furnished us by the railroad employees here, without vouching for it in any way. It beats the ghost story.— Smyrna Times. Governor Curtin on Governor Seymour. —Governor Curtin of Pennsylvania, says the Buffalo Courier , was asked the other day, in the Union League Club House, of Philadelphia, what was his opinion of Governor Seymour, lie replied: “'Veil, sir, if I were asked to mention a man who, in my estimation, pos sessed the attributes of a perfect gentleman, a cultivated scholar, a thorough statesman and a sincere Christian, I would, without hesita tion, name Horatio Seymour of New York.’’ “How about Seymour’s loyalty?” “After the dispatches I sent Seymour at the time of the rebel raid into Pennsylvania,” replied the Governor, it would hardly become me to im pugn liis loyalty ; the fact is, I have never doubted it. I understand that Belmont is having all the dispatches sent by Stanton and myself printed, and I have no doubt they will be in the hands of every Democratic stump speaker through the campaign. Wo had better give np attacking Seymour’s loyalty, for the opposition hold the trump card in that matter.” Onions vs. Epidemics. —Onions as a specific against epidemics are recommended by a cor respondent of the Scientific American. If sliced and kept in a sick room they will absorb all atmospheric poison. They should be re placed by a fresh one every hour. It is noticed that in the room of a small pox patient they blister and decompose with great rapidity, hut will prevent tho spread of the disease, — Their application has also proved effectual in cases of snake bites. VOL. 3. NO. 45 More Gluck Repudiation of Carpet-bagger** A mass meeting of negroes was held on tho Capitol square, at Richmond, Ya., on Monday evening, at which action was taken, showing that in Virginia, as well as in Georgia and South Carolina, the negroes are getting their eyes opened to the true character of the carpet baggers, and demonstrating that in any com munity composed of the two races, and in which thay arc made political equals and co rulers, they will divide by race and color, and that it will ho impossible to make them act together in harmony. At this Richmond meeting, resolutions were adopted declaring want of confidence in the Republican State Central Committee, because it is not in favor of justice and equal rights to all. Several speakers addressed the crowd denouncing the carpot-linggers as needy politicians, who had come to Virginia to make a living out of the blacks, and who did not intend the blacks should hold office. Tho case of the negroes in the Georgia Legislature was brought up as a warning. The black speakers were particu larly severe on the carpet-haggors. Tho re»o lutions were passed by acclamation. Thus the work of race-division goes on, fully sustaining the position which the oppo nents of negro suffrage have taken from the beginning. Every case like that above stated, proves the failure of Jacobin reconstruction. First comes raco-division. Next will ensue a war of races, when one race or the other must go under, and probably lie exterminated.— This is the peace which the election of Grant will bring to tho country. There can be no peace while the two races are made to sustain the relations they do now to each other, and force is used to compel submission to a system so repulsive to tho white men of the Soutb. Every day's experience makes more evident the impossibility of coercing two different races of men to form and live in unnatural relations and overcome nntipathies and incom patibilities which are not only the growth of ages, but arise from laws established by tho Creator himself.— X. Y. Democrat. A gentleman who had carefully trained np his servant in tho way he should go, so that when his wife was present he might not de part from it, sent him with a box ticket for the theatre to a young lady. The servant returned when the gentleman and the wife were at dinner, lie had, of course, been told, in giving answer to certain questions, to sub stitute the masculine for the feminine pronoun in speaking of the lady. “Did you see him ?” asked the gentlemen giving him the cue. “Yes, sir,” replied the servant, “he said he'd go with a great deal of pleasure.” “What was he doing?” askod the wife, carelessly. “lie was putting on his bonnet,” was the reply. There was “fat in the fire” immediately. Wendell. —Wendell Phillips, the model man of tho Radical party, says he wiR vote for General Grant, although he has no confidence in him, and denounces the Radical platform as “shuffling, evasive, unprincipled aod corrupt.’ And yet he supports it and its candidate, and why? Because a vole for Grant is a vote for negro suffrage. Anything to fly the black flag above tho white. The enthusiasm for Seymoui and Blair throughout the West is so great that the atten dance at meetings is estimated by the acres of live Democrats.” Grant had the pleasure of witnessing one in St. Louis the other dhy, and doubtless thought it an “acher,” Scientific Wonder. We take the following item from the Georgia Citizen: “ Our attention was yesterday called to one of the greatest curiosities we have ever beheld. Drs. Hardwick, Hinkle and McLeonp for the purpose of dissecting and experimenting, had obtained of the butchers, the eye of an oil— Having operated upon it hut little, they put it away for preservation in a bottle of caTbonio acid. Upon taking it up again they discovered upon the retina, a clearly defined photograph image of a man.
