Southern States in the clutch of black dynasties, bora of Radical usurpation and propped np by the gleaming bayonets of centralized tyranny, are in no condition to be unusually nice about the means they use to remove the deadly clutch A man trembling forlife and property in the dark boms of the night at the bands of a burglar, recks little whether be brains the invader with a handy but Holy Bible or jobs him to death with a peaceful poker, so that he safely repels the violence and secures bis life and home. Hence we have felt little disposition to psss a hostile judgment upon our oppressed Southern peo pie, when some of them in their own Slates not affecting others, have used what seemed to ns questionable strategy to free themselves from a destructive rale of ignorance and cor ruption, that utterly destroyed present pros perity and left no hope for the future. Tennessee and Virginia violated the orthodox rules of Democracy in their local efforts to throttle Radicalism, ifet they succeeded. They stsnd to-day exultantly disenthralled from a tyranny that boded complete ruin. Missouri is another signal instance of re demption gained at the cost of accepted party conventionalism. Applying the cardinal Democratic princi ple of seU-rule, wc have fell that the Demo cracy of each commonwealth were the best judges of what concerned their own destiny Bnt in judging of the course pursued by our Louisiana friends to settle for themselves what they ought to do to unhorse the detest able dynasty that is riding the State to death we may have to deal with the grave ques tion whether their proposed “unification” may not influence the proper policy for the Democratic party in ita national struggle. As is well-known, we have favored in the past certain not agreeable concessions by tbe Democracy in order to settle war is sues and get the impartial verdict of the country upon the great question of constitu tionalism. The next act of the drama is upon us. And in our judgment it should be a bold, aggress ive ringing programme of democratic at tack. War prejudices have largely subsided The popular ear is ready to hear the riebt. The Democracy is the party of the Constitu tion, of law, of honesty, of economy, of right, of true equality, and it must con- certediy rise to its full mission. Whatever is wrong it must strike, and it must do it vigorously. With this idea of Democratic duty, Beauregard's unification whether as a state or as a national movement, appears to ns a grave blonder. born la 18U. u loir on’.lbo Per be boa become In Dougherty and Worth counties, says $700per week in Germany, wbflo filling an- thc CcntralJCity, thcr b is not a field of good other more lucrative engagement.

In finally dismininf, as we sincerely hope, this dread subject, wc wish to call the atten tion of TnxConsTrrc rios’s readers to one or two remarks. We v ould here, first of all, commend our corresp indent at Chattanooga for the fidelity, correc ness and promptness of the specials (twoo-three daily) sent ns for the last month. T esc specials have been copied far and wide, c ren into the journals of Ihefar Weal, and h ive given by far the moat faithful reports t tat have appeared. Irr addition we have given much valuable space to a discussion < if cholera by a num- berof learned men, p lysidans acd others. Seme of tbe articles h ive been exceedingly able, and have certaii Jy made our people acquainted with the cl aracter sod habits of the Asiatic monarch. They have also, we think, settled the point, that Atlanta is in no danger mUer of alia -k. Our prompt action n reference to cholera matters in Atlanta mt to utter rout the feverish rumors afloat: nd at once the press flf the State generally • iismissed the idea that Atlanta was in any dai ger. about $400 per week and expenses. A very active competition exists among the towns on tbe Northern Pacific coast for tbe location of the western Terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Tbe people of Portland end Puget Sound are much ex cited on the subject, and city lota and real cstato takes some surprising turns according as the chances appear to be in favor of one or another locality. The paper towns arc especially worked up. Seattle offers, byjway of donation, land and money estimated at $1,000,000, and is still adding. Taco offers the entire control of the water-front of the icity, and a large amount of land incase Seattle does net get tho terminus. A party of unquestionable responsibility agrees to build, equip, and put In running order a branch from Seattle to connect with tbe Northern Pacific Railroad near Taco, by January 1, for less than the amount pledged to the company. They have two remarkable curiosities in California, which it [were well not to name in the same breath. One is a college eighty yean old, forty-five miles from the railroad, and approachable only through pathless woods and over cattle tracks in the clearing- It is the College of Oar Lady of Gnadalupe, commonly known aa Santa Ynez College, is coeval with the.old Santa Ynez Mission, is conducted by the Order of Franciscans, and has twenty-five .students in attendance—all it can accommodate. The other curiosity is a bona fide Japanese mermaid, now in a des- icatcd state, but in the year 1373 it was as lively a fish;woman as ever made silver music in a hollow shell or banded Billingsgate with her garrulous and ungrammatical sisters. It is said that this mermaid has been an heir loom in an old Japanese family for six hun dred years. It now belongs to a Frisco showman, who hu no doubt made more of the mermaid than was ever made of it be fore. Beauregard's Unification It has fallen to that distinguished and pa triotic Southern soldier. General Beauregard, to startle the country with a new political term, comprehending a bold and sweeping political proposition. The novel bantling is christened “Unification,” and it hu tumbled like a hostile bombshell amid the Democratic legions. Cradbled to its final analysis, the word is simply a literal synonyme for ac complished Radicalism. Under the radiant garb of an exceedingly captivating ideal designation, tbe moat repulsive atrocities ol Radical partisan ism are commended to the country and urged to complete popular ac ceptance. All tbe distinctions between Democracy and Radicalism are by this word and ita sweeping significance exterminated, root and branch. And we entertain not adonbt that the gal lant soldier, who bss led in this daring move ment, hu bcen animated by a' genuine and disinterested patriotism. We believe that no degrading motive of selfish or conupt ambition hu inspired him. Beauregard we opine to be a conscientious lover of his country. Some personal experience of the man hu engendered a very dear and fixed conception of his character and capacities. To an exceedingly imperious sense ol duty, he does not add large gifts of intellect. Ilia desire to do right, and his humanity, were ever greater than his judgment is correct, or his mental processes sound. Beauregard, in this mauer.hu grappled with a problem far beyond his powers, and his attempted solution is an honest bat awful botch. Atone fell swoop he would strike down the tight at the feet of wrong, and yielding the very substance of the Democratic cause, forfeit forever all chance of its su premacy. The very essence of future consti tutional triumph lies in preserving the dis tinction between the fruits of despoti—l and thebeneficentresultaof riot*** ' utent us itm.nouiA.Ti. Robert E. Leo, “Ah, Sir Lancelot,” he said, “thou wert head of ail .Christian knights; and, now, I daresay,” said Sir Ector, "thou, Sir Lancelot, there thou liest, that thou wert never matched of earthly knights’ band; and thou wert tbe courtliest knight that ever bare shield; * * and thou wert the kindest man that ever stroke with sword; and thou wert the good liest person that ever came among press of knights; and thou wert the meekest man and the gentlest that ever ate in hall among la- dies; and thou wert the sternest knight to thy mortal foe that ever put spear in rest.”— The Merle V Arthur of Sir Thimuu Malory. With reverence and regret we repeat to-day Sir Ector’s words of sorrow for the great Sir Lancelot, and apply them to the man who died yesterday—the noblest knight of our generation. The hero of the Arthurian leg ends u he lay dead in Joyous-Gard, with the record of a life made splendid by great deeds, might have revived other than kindly or en nobling reco'lections in the mourner’s mind; for the wronged king and the breaking up ofjthe goodly fellowship of the Round Table ccnld not be forgotten, but lay'like shadows upon tbe dead knight. But in the life of Robert Edmund Lee, there was no reproach of man or woman; his deeds were dimmed by no wrong done or duty unful filled ; there was no stain upon his honor and no unrighteous blood upon his hands. He was indecdagood;knight,noble of heart and strong of purpose, and both n soldier and gentle man. The ago that knew him, if Dot the age of chivalry, will yet be remarkable for hav ing produced in him a man as chivalric as any that lives in history. He, too, was one, end the greatest one, of a goodly fellowship that was broken up and scattered about the world. Some of these Southern knights have gone before him, and with him departs the last remnant of the cause for which thev fought and the strength that so long upheld In every particular he possessed the re quisites of a true soldier. He was brave; his whole military record and life-long scorn of danger alike bear testimony to his bravery. He was wise; his successes against great odds, and bis almost constant anticipation of the enemy’s movements were proofs of his wis dom. He was skillful; his forced march-8 and uni xpected victories assert his skill. He was patient and unyielding; his weary struggle against the mighty armies of the North and his stern tlefensc of Richmond, forever preserve the memory of bis patience and resolution. He was gentle and just; tbe soldiers who fought under him and who came alive out of the great fight, remembering and cherishing the memory of the man, can one and all, testify to h% gentleness and bis justice. Above all he was faithful; when he gave up his sword there was uo man in his own ranks or in those of the enemy that doubted his faith, or believed that he bad not done all mortal could do for the cause for wbich be made such a struggle. When the last chance was gone, and all hope was at an end, tbe old hero bowed to a higher will than his own, and accepted the fate of the Sonlh with calm grandeur. But he was done with all wars. He could never take the field again; he knew that it was not for him to see the act of secession upheld by the South and recognized by the North, and after lhe failure of his own countrymen he was loo old and war-worn to draw his sword in a foreign quarrel. He passed from the fever of the camp into tbe quiet of the clois ter, and aa the President of Washington Col lege, in Vmginis, spent the remaining portion of hi« sixty-three years in working for the good of his native State. We cannot express all the troth that coaid be told about Lee, nor can we do justice to his worth and fame, but perhaps the few words of Sir Ector arc the best after all. He was a good knight, a true genUeman; knowing this, let us leave him with fame and posterity; with the rest, tbe Resurrec tion and the Life. Cnriona Starr at Londn Society. London Letter to tbe New York Graphic.] Things have come to such a psss in Lon don that to many and remain “ in society” on less than £3,U00 a year, ia a perfect im possibility. Now, the men and women with £3000 a year are few; to remain in society is more valued than domestic life outside of thatcharmed circle; and the consequences are that marriages “ in high life” yearly be come fewer. There are other conse quences of a still more painful nature; one hears jot them every once and a while at the Divorce Conn. I have iust bcen reading one of them. A pretty littie woman with yellow hair—a Becky Sharp, if yon please, bnt a Becky Sharp as Becky may have been—bad bcen married to an army officer, who had nothing bnt his pay to live on. They were happy for one year; they quarreled the second year; the third year they were happy again, for the little woman had discovered a plan for always giving her husband good dinners, keeping herself smart wi'h jewelry, and yet asking him far less house-keeping money thin be fore. One day came an anonymous letter, revealing the secret of this financial feat, and—you know the rest The littie woman was sworn in the witness-box, and asked by a counsel whether the Captain had been brutal or neglectful? “Ob, do,” she sobbed, “be was always kind; bnt he used to look so miserable at seeing me poorly dressed, and at having inch bad dinners; and I was afraid be might take to dining 5 from home and leaving me, and I not bear the thought of it, for I loved him more than—than anything on earth, and do now.” The tittle woman wept her blue eyes red, the honest Captain cried like a boy; but the Sickelisian mode of arrang ing these things not beiog in vogue here, he insisted on his divorce, got it, and his wife is sow walking the -pave at the Hay- market. Co tram—it*. 45. Tbe receipt* this week are 15,000 bales, 13,000 more than last year, and the same amount aa two years since. It is likely the receipts for next week will be about 13,000 bales, compared with 2,000 last year and 10,000 the year before; and the receipts at the interior towns2,000, compared with 000 last year and 3,000 the year before. The thermometer has averaged 88 degrees at noon. Six days dear and hot, and one day doudy and warm, with two thunder storms during the week,in which the rainfall was $ of an inch. This week last year tnc thermometer was 81 degrees at noon—dcudy and showery every dsy. Next week lsst year the thermometer was 85 degrees at noon—doudy acd showery six days, with heavy rains four days. The public dispatches in relation to the cotton crop for next week list year were: ’Heavy rains, damaging cotton in Tennes see and upper Alabama, causing bolls to fall off.” “Tbe overflow of tbe Alabama River and tributaries bas destroyed the cot ton, and cut off the receipts at Mobile 100,- 000 bales; luge creeks are from two to five feet higher than ever before known; also, caterpillars and boll worms are doing much damage.” The genuine caterpillar has appeared in luge numbers on Aiday’s place in Miller ctnnty, Georgia. Huntsville, Alabama, bottom lands flooded, crops injured. IIECEIPTS. The receipts are still going beyond any thing we expected and are perfectly aston- ishing. 'Where does all the cotton arriving. atNorfolk and New York come from? The receipts this week are five times as much as last year, same week; and will be for the month of July larger than any year in the history of the cotton trade, not even excepting the “ big crops ” years 1858-00 snd 1870-71. Some persons say that now tho receipts do not make any difference; a few thou sand bales more or less^at this time of th year, will not effect the muket either way. Wc think they are mistaken, for dealers ue likely to look at it in this way. The floods, worms and euly frost destroyed much of the cotton last year, still the quantity in the interior now teems luge for the time of year. So, with ten per cent more planted what will this crop be if no serious disaster befalls it. The first bale of new crop cotton this year, was received at Brownsville, Texas, July 3. Last year the first bale was received at Gal- veston, Texas, July 15. Yeu before last the first bale was received at Galveston, Texas, July 21. WBATHER. The rain fail for this week has been 1 of an inch ; failing t inch on Saturday and J of an inch on Thursday. These rains were very timely and did much good. We beu also there has bcen local rains and thunder showers ail over the cotton i country, and as the fields ue now perfectly clear of grass and weeds an inch of rain every week will be a positive blessing. Some farmers arc already beginning to complain of drouth. The rain fall in three weeks past has been a little over one inch. One day this week the thermometer was 83 degrees at 7 a. m. and 94 degrees at noon—the hottest day of the season thus far—snd the weather for the en tire week has bcen the first bright, cleu, summer weather wo have bad. Some per sons fesr an overflow of the Mississippi River soon, in consequence of the heavy rains and very high rivers in the West There is not the least danger of this. Heavy rains on the upper Missouri that would cause that river to rise twenty-five feet would not affect the Mississippi River twelve inches at New Orleans. chop raospBCTs. A small patch of cotton planted in the suburbs of this city, April 15th, is now 18 to 24 inches high; very full of squares, and began blooming the 10th inst It has bcen worked over only twice; but is as fine as possible. We have not heud a single com- plaint from anywhere this week; bat all accounts are “splendid crops, never better.” In fact, we feu they are too good to lost; and think it likely wo may hear of some dis aster from some cause, for it will be very strange if we do not. The bulls in contracts ue suffering some just now; and it will be an easy matter to nave sent over tho wires some terrible disas ter from worms or floods. -' '■ The market in New York has been dull and irregular this week; sales 6,000 bales spoia and 60,000 bales 'contracts;' with a decline of a ^ quarter of a cent on spots, and J to J on contracts, closing with a weak and unsteady muket. For the benefit of jbose who take past evpcriencc for a guide in tbo future, we will state that tho muket in New York, for the past four years, has followed this course: July 9,1869, it was 34 cents, (gold ISO) then began to fall, and rose again At gust 13tb. May 13th, 1870, it was 23* cents, (gold 115) then began to fall, and never rose again until less than 15 cents was touched. July 7tb, 1871, it was 214 cents, (gold 112) then began to fall and reacted again August 33. This yeu, July 8th, was 21 cents (gold 116) then began to fall, and our readers can fill up this line in the wsy that will best agree with their judgment or inter est For the benefit of those persons who like sensational reports, there is a general understanding the cotton dealers, here in Atlanta, that there will be a rise and a corner in the muket in New York about the 15th or 20tb of this mouth. We have tried to trace the rumor to some authentic source, hut ail we have been able to obtain is a wise Icok and shake of the head. We have never yet known two successful corners to follow each other without one month, at least, between them; and we would advise our readers, if they believe this report, to stay ont of the market entirely, and not own a bale either way, and they will be safe; for if they bay expecting the rise, and it does not come, they may regret it. We will add this, if the muket should take a sudden run down, to anywhere near a parity with the Liverpool price, as it did in August, 1871, and. then there should be rumors of damage to the crop, we should ex pect an advance, and possibly a corner, for August or September. Just now the stocks at the ports ue large—much luger than any yeu since the war—and New York is three cents a pound above a parity with Liverpool. The market in Liv erpool has been quiet, with medium sales and a decline of i of a cent, in the price. Our dispatches often comes so mixed up that it is hard to decipher just what they mean. For the past three weeks we have bcen especially perplexed; and as we had to guess at some of them wc made some errors. We allude to this, especially, just now be cause our report of tbe stock taking at Liv erpool, Jnne 26th, was incorrect We ue jost in receipt of W. C. Watts & Co’s weekly report of tbe Liverpool muket, under date of Jnne 87, wbich contains the actual report of the stock in Liverpool. Actual stock £83,160 bales, which ia only 330 bales more than tbe rnnning count, showing an increase of 2,0S0 bales of Brazilian, 2.860 Ejgyptian, O.uSOWest Indian,and 13,900 East Indian; and a decrease of 59 Smyrna, and 26,040 American. Those gentlemen also write that there were great fears of a strike of tbe operatives at some of the mills; and if it did occur it would lessen the consumption of cotton 5,COO bales a week while it lasted; and that the feu of this caused a dullness in the cotton muket. There are now 115,000 bales of American cotton afloat for Liverpool, of which 40,003 bale will be due and should be received there next week. For the week ending July 4. the re ceipts at Bombay were 6,000 bales; shipments to Great Britain, 15,000; to continent 5,000 bales. The receipts at Bombay for three months after this time, in tbe years 1870. 1871 and 1873, were 18,000; 125,000 awl 16,003 bales. They may be 50,000 for same time this yeu. The time for planting in Indies, is from about June 35 to August 10, principally this month.

A small, black, sluggish stream flows through the city, but it neither does itself nor the town any credit in tbe performance. The city must be about a hundred miles from the sea, and yet its elevation above tide is only one hundred anff thirty feet Its general ap- icarance is plain, rusty-brown, and modern, ita growth has been marvelous—for Europe. One hundred years ago the population was only about a hundred thousand; now it num bers nearly, if not' quite, a million, and holds the third ptacq^mong European cities. In the suberbs, blocks after blocks are going up on streets named after tho heroes of the hour— Yon Moltke,B15lharck,etc. Such are not com mon sights in the towns of the Old World. Why so vast a city should spring up CIT a sandy waste and prosper far away from deep* water, is a mystery. The Germans turn everything to good acconht in their wonderful economy; and when they found the soil of Berlin would not produce the frails Ot the earth, they may have resolved to plant something this it wonld bear, and so planted a city. If that is not the true philosophy of its founda tion and growth, then I give it up. UH1EB DEN LINDEN. After I was'settled in my hotel, I proceed, cd without much delay to put myself under the lime trees. The famous avenue had long been a favorite subject of my day dreams. I saw it lined with palaces and buildings of unsurpassable.grandeur; filled with glittering cquipsges bearing the fairest flowers of womanhood and the most gallant of lanrellel heroes; its sidewalks thronged with diplomatists, statesmen, scholars and philosophers; and over the moving pano rama of pride and beauty, my fancy threw the shade St historic trees, through the glorious freshness of whose arches of green bright flecks of sunlight fell on the fair-haired—hold, enough. You get the idea: I am only trying to cay that I thought the Lindenstrasse a very fine street. But alas, for my illu sions! The trees of imagination fared the worst, for I bad to accept a scraggy, stnnted, dusty, beggarly lot that grievously reflected on my cherished forest. My etherial palaces dwindled to ordinary brick and mortar struct ures,covered with a rusty coat of stucco, often times ragged and broken, and notably so on the principal palace itself. When man joins brick and rftncco together the frost does not hesitate to put them asunder. My glittering eqoipages to droskies turned, that any bum mer could Lire for fifty cents an hour. Of my street in tbe air I found nothing ex cept tbe great wide avenue itself, extending from tha .Old Palace to the Brandenburg Gate, a mile or more, and of such ample width that it contains parallel walks, and ways for horsemen—imperfectly shaded, it is true,— with fine drives on cither side. The city abounds in one thing—statues. I used to go down by Ronig-strassc, ovet a bridge bearing many of them, and throueh the old palace into the upper end of the wide street of fame. The Royal Library, the Opera House, the Palace of tbe Crown Prince, and many more palaces pretty well occupy the upper end of the street; and on every hand arc statues that indicate the history and am bition of the race. Schiller, Mozart, Goethe, and Gutenberg, arc shoved from the pedes tals for Frederick the Great and other men on horseback. At the bead of tho Linden proper stands Ran h’s bronze statue of Frederick the Great. It is an elaborate and larpragGSr work. It is a grand picture represenlibg tbe warrior’s life—bis love a of art,' bis taste for music, as well f as his military and civic career. Besides the allegorical figures, there are grouped uuder the regal hero several life-size images of his distinguished officers. 'It is beyend doubt tbe finest work qf its kind in the world. We pass down the great street, and at its foot is the Brandenburg gale. Here, too, is emble matic war. A chariot of Victory, twenty feet high, driven by a young lady in simple attire, crowns the magnificent entrance. When Napoleon cnteied Berlin in triumph, he caused it to be sent to Paris; and onr hip podromiq young lady drove her wild hrrscs in that gay capital, eight long years before she resumed her accustomed place. Let us pass through the gate into TUB TniEBOAHTEN. This park of nearly one thousand acres wonld be handsome if it were not so flat and sandy. A pure white sand takes tbe place of a velvety tnrf; and for a recompcnsive onejmust turn to tbo trees, which send their roots down into some better strata, and lift their lofty shade-dispensing branches to the bine sky. Its long drives ate much frequented in the afternoon; and hither come the sunny chil dren of the town, armed with wooden spades, to make sand pics or, if boys, to throw up minatnre fortifications. One day I walked nearly the length of tbe immense park, coming ont at the Zoological Gardens;, where my landlord assnredmel wonld be sure to see, on any pleasant after noon, the best society in the city. Adjoining the Bear Garden are several large concert gardens, much frequented by theother grades of social distinction. Wo will devote our afternoon, however, to the monkeys and par rots, and to (the creme de la creme of Berlin. Such gardens, embracing animals from every part of tbe world, are not common in any country. I donbt it there is one deserving the name in the length and breadth of our land. The Regents’ Park collection in London is the largest, but lhe Berlin “show" is entirely satisfactory. The birds, beasts and reptiles are dispersed over about one handrca«cre9, among trees and tittle lakes, in “paddocks, dens and aviaries” best suited to their several habits The hippopotami flounder in great tanks; white swans and black swans too, and qneer ungainly, onge- begged sea birds float in their favorite ell- Intent; the zebras quietly feed in a tittle field and tbe black ostrich, the beautiful pea-fowl from India, tbe rare black leopard, the white’ bear froifi the north pole, the fat, lazy sea- lions from California, and many, many more, are ail comfortably accommodated in the ample garden according to their natural re- quirementa. Tho London collection contains a few more than 2,000 animals, every one of them rare and valuable, and every, ona of them in excellent condition. Thus you see it quite outdoes Uic roving sbow3 of the vil green. ,c animals, however, are an incidental matter. Near a large refreshment building, ont under the trees, are hundreds of small tables. Seating myself at one of them, at about fonr o’clock in the afternoon, I did not have to wait long for the incoming tide of people- Paterfamilias comes ac companied by the entire family, including tbe maidenly aunt and tbe silver- haired grandmother—all come, bringing the knitting;,tho children, their puzzles; the head of the family, his social pipe; and, as soon as they are seated, a waiter comes for an order of coffee, tea, wine, beer or whatever is wanted. 7 be scene of the next few hours might not please the partisans of cold water, although they conld not find in the whole garden a person the worse for drink. ‘All ihta time there is a rallying of men— who have each taken at least one horn—on a large semi-circular platform in front of us; and when they are all in place for the mili- taiy concert, they number one hundred by actual count. I cannot describe tbe height and depth of the mammoth music. Of coarse; I can’t, for the horns and fiddles, and cymbals and drums, all spoke in German. With such a flood of delicious harmo ny rolling over them, and with their loved ones or best companions abont them, a it any wonder that well dressed comfortable people easily got into excellent humor with themselves, the world and the rest ol mankind ? And ail over Germany, in the small towns as well as in the large ones, similar entertainments in the open air—on a lesser scale, of course— are a part of the every-day life. Should this social feature be condemned ?. They are so communicative, so comfortable, so hanpv, under nature’s own roof, that I cannot bring myself to think so. 1 walked back in the cvcniog, through elegant streets bordering the Thicrgart- en; and the bright cheery lights, and the meny laughter of romping children, and the soft rnttric evoked by fairy fingers, floating out on the stillness of the summer night, told tbe wanderer that happy homes do exist in thelandof social public enjoyment. They seemed very bright, those handsome homes. I am not sore that a lonely tongue-tied cor respondent did not throw across the seas bridge over which he passed to other homes far away—in short, I believe be was a tittle homesick that nignt TBE BOLD SOLD IBB BOY, with all his laurels gathered in victorious warn, is met at every turn in Berlin. It seems as if one-half of the population is used to keep the other half , in subjection. I often thought,that,.of the thousands of private soldiers whom I saw from time to time, not one wore soiled clothes, dr clothes that did not fit him. The difference between the Ger man army and that of England or America, for instance, can be readily appreciated, when we remember that no young man is exempt from service in tho first, and that the latter are made np of men picked up for pay from the slums of large towns. It is one of the current stories of the land that the Crown Prince has often been seen pacing his beat, as a private soldier, in tbe wind and storm. Between tbe ages of twenty and twenty-five, every subject, “without distinc tion of fortune, birth, class or intended pro fession,” most serve as a private soldier for three consecutive yean. Nor docs this release from; ever, afterwards he is con sidered a member of some grade of the re serve force, and is liable to be called into active service at any time. The whole land is thus one vast camp, tbe whole population one army. We would be restive under a system that inexorably takes so much of a young man’s valuable time: But its results have astonished tbe world. To this univer sal soldiery, to an army that can read and write, every man of them—for education has long been compulsory in Prussia—and not to one man’s genius—great as it is, is the world indebted for the overwhelming vic tories of German progress and arms.

Letter from Chattanooga. CHOLERA. Sensible Views of a Corres pondent of The Con stitution. It is quite natural to relusc to believe ia the existence in our midst of so fatal a epidemic as cholera. There is wisdom in the press correcting rumors that are calculated to demoralize the people, for I am satisfied that one-half the deaths that occurred in this city resulted from fright. Could onr doctors, editors and ministers of religion devote much of their .time to allaying alarm on this sub ject they would do.morc to “stamp it.oul”,than by physic, “irony” and warnings of ap proaching death. If the people would only believe, that with prudence and promptness, there is no more danger of dying with tho cholera than of being struck by lightning, the coarse of cholera in all our cities and towns wonld bo very, very short. Cholera has departed from our city and gone elsewhere. Where it will next appear, 1 cannot say, but I fear, like the epizootic, it will spread over the entire couulry. Surely I do no harm in penning this. If I am in error I will it joicc; if I am correct it is prudent to take warning and prepare for tbe danger. How shall we prepare? Certainlynoinformationisnecdcd from me, when so much has been written by professional men. And yet experience here haa taught U3 many things I desire to print. It is desirable that all cities and towns should be thoroughly cleansed and yet it is not clear how this should be done. 1 believe the cleansing of sewers and guttcra in this town did incalculable harm. I believe it ia best to allow sewers and decaying matter to lie untouched and to pour upon them large quantities of copperas water—under no cir cumstances u c lime. We found also, too late, that tha sprinkling of lime in such places was our greatest mistake. When wc . discovered our error we began the use of copperas and car bolic acid, and from that moment the disease began to abate. When the disease fi st appeared here everybody began the purifying of their premises. On every side, filthy yards and sewers were scraped up, water closets emp tied, and the gutters of our streets scrubbed cleau. The result of this was an atmosphere impregnated with tbe most noxious and de leterious gasses, set free from this filth by the rays of the burning sun. What follow ed? Diarbcci of course. This was neglect ed, by those who knew not the value of moments, and not until a collapse did they send for a physician. Death of necessity, followed quickly and snrely. I am strongly of the opinion that if this cleansing process is to be gone through with, that it should be done between suuEet and sunrise, and the filth should be carted i o deep trenches and carefully covered up from the rays of this burning summer’s sun. Then copperas water should be poured in all tbe gutters, sewers snd water closets. Where parties can afford it, carbolic acid should be used in disinfecting their residences and offices. Mach has been written about eating vege tables. I have no donbt that diarrhoea has been brought on in many cases by their im proper use. So also I believe much damage has resulted from their rejection altogether as articles of diet. Hundreds here have regularly and prudently cat all the vege tables of the season, except, perhaps cabbage, and have not experienced os much inconvenience as hundreds who have not allowed a vegetable oa their tables since the epidemic began. I should eat potatoes, tomatoes, beans, squashes, beets and onions as usual; being carcrnl not to eat too rnitch of either. If the stomach has been accustomed to such vegetables their continued use is necessary to prevent constipation, and this has been the forerunner of numerous cholera cases hero. We have found, that by the occasional use of calomel, and the daily use of email quan tities of quinine, tbe system bss been able to resist the disease. Tbe condition of tbe liver will indicato the use of calomel, and I think, the daily use of from two (2) to six (6) grains of quinine will be found sufficient. I have not heard of a single esse of cholera where the system bas been kept under the influence of quinine. Add to this, wholesome, nourishing diet; prudence in the use of alco holic drinks either as a medicine cr a bev erage; care in hot allowing peraniration to be suddenly suppressed, and a cheerful spirit, sod there is aUUukly no danger vthalaer. I believe our physicians have treated the disease chiefly with calomel, opium and quinine, with such “irritants” as were indi cated in each particular case. I think iu nearly all cases where the doctor was called in time the patient has recovered. I believe, however, that where the cholera baa taken hold of the system few. recoveries have oc curred. I write this in the interest of human life. I wish to arouse the people to attend at once to nausea, pains in tbe bowels and diar rhea a. Don’t irat it off. It’s sure to hold on if disrrbcea begins. Conanlt a doctor at once, and jnst go right to bed,andatay there on yonr back till yon are well. Nearly every one of my acquaintances who died here did not heed the premonitions. They took some trifling thing and kept walking about in the son and attending to buifineta. After days of this neglect the mon ster seized upon them, instantly pros trating them, and in a few hours they were dead. Attend to the first symtoms promptly and you are safe, neg lect them and you are lost. This much I have written, not through pedantry and concert, but fr. m an ardent desire to send a few words of warning to my numerous friends who read your paper. I bore carefully noted daring the epidemic here wbat I have written above. If the pnb- licalion of this letter will arouse one dear friend to prompt attention to the advance “skirmishing” of this disease I will be re paid. This letter may beget imaginary paini and indijeation, but better that than the lethargy and inattention that result in death. Q. C. C. Chattanooga, Tenn., July 11,1878. Charlotte (N. C.)

I was a State Rights man, and believed that my first and highest allegiance was to my own State. . I cast in my lot with my own people according to my earnest convictionsof duty, and my unaltered and unalterable belief is that I did right. I could uot have served with Browniow’s/’hell-bound” party without doing violence to my conscience and my whole moral nature. But take the other view, that the education at West Point was a debt due to the whole country, and that I had not fully paid it up in 18G"l. If so, more was due to the South than to the North, for the South had furnished two-thirds of the exports of the United States, and therefore had borne two-thirda of the burden of the Government. The remaining portion of my debt not paid by former service was chiefly dne then to. the South, and as I could not pay both sections during the period between 1801 and ’65,1 rightly decided to pay the bigger debt first. It is sufficient to say, without arguing tho question at all, that I decided as Lee and Jackson did, and their memory will be reverenced by the whole earth for ages after Brownlow’a name has SOTTED FROM TIIB RECOLLECTION OF MAN KIND, and is heard no more, save in the lowest depths of the sullen pit. Others besides the “steel to steel, pike to pike,” bomb-proof warrior charge mo with making war upon the dead, became I called attention to tbo sad |fate of renegades. Two of those al luded to in my article, Longstreet and Brownlow, I had supposed to he living, and did not think myself amenable to the charge of assailing only the dead. Poor Longstreet, whom I dcSr loved, is indeed as dead to his own people as though he had keen buried a hundred years. IVould to llcavcn, for his own fame, his glorious Confederate career had been the last known of him! But Brownlow hossls that he still lives. Yes, he docs drag out a miserable existence, appar ently, that be may stand as a monument of the effects of wickedness and the malignity of Satan, wbich can thus transform a human being into A BIDEOU3 AND GHASTLY WRECK, jeering at Heaven and abhorred of mankind. I grant that tbe rule is wise to speak good alone of the dead, provided these dead occu pied obscure places while liviDtr. But if they rode upon tho high places of the earth, and were distinguished for their depravity, what becomes of the truth of history if good alone is spoken of thorn? And unless their con temporaries tell the truth about them, must not all history be a lie ? Contemporaries have a right to speak of the wicked deeds of rulers and oppressors of their race— of such hideous wretches as Nero. Ca ligula and the murderous Governor of Ten nessee. During his labors as a Christian minister, the Rev. Mr. Brownlow looked oc casionally into tbe Bible to find cursing texts, and he doubtless has often been struck with the fierce denunciations in that Divine book againrt the oppressors of the weak and helpless. Oppicssion seems to be a sin pe culiarly odious to a God of love and benevo lence. I assume, therefore, that we of the South have a right to tell the truth about our oppressors, whether living or dead, and I for one intend to exercise that right, spite of all the loyal howls that BROWNLOW’S “HELL BOUND PAllTV" may set np. All history must be a delusion, if facts creditable to the prominent actors upon the world’s theatre can alone be told. It is the duty of contemporaries to tell the evil as well as the good of the characters that are to live ia history. All that I said of General Canby was true and ought to have been said. 1 wilt now show that Rev. Mr. Brownlow’s tenderness for the memory of the dead is a mere sham. The Inter OccaD, a paper of vastly larger circulation than the Southern Home, denounced not merely the historic characters of the Southern Confed eracy, bnt the whole Confederate dead, aa traitors like Benedict Arnold. The sweeping denunciation included the dead conscript as well as Lee, Jacksoo, Polk and Stuart. THE BOGUS PARSON did not cry out with holy horror against the Intcr-Ocean, and warn it to speak only about the living. When Matthew F. Slaury, a harmless man of science, died, a fellow named Blount, in the New York Chamber of Com merce, refused to join ia a testimonial of re spect for the memory of him whom every crowned head in Europe bad honored upon the ground that he had been a traitor. Not a word of censure against Blount escaped the lips of Rev. Mr. Brownlow, who ia so sensitive about the Federal dead. A little more than a month ngo, the Grand Army of tbe Republic, with the sanction of the War De partment, refused to allow flowers to be strewn on Decoration Day on the graves of the Confederate soldiers, who sleep their last sleep on Arlington Heights. This was of ficial war upon the dead—the unknown, nameless, unrecognized dead. Did the rev- eraed blasphemer, with his tender regard for the dead, rebuke sternly this cruel taunt to the obscure dost? Notone word from the scrupulous saint! It seems to make a great difference whose ox is gored. It is a tenable sin in me to tell TXIK TRUTH ABOUT A DKAD OPPRESSOR, in vindication of history and as a warning to future tyrants, lint it is all right for loyal newspaper and loyal associations in their official capacity to spurn aa vile and traitor ous the whole mass of Confederate dead— officers and privates, great leaders and name less conscripts 1 When I hear of Rev. Mr. Browillow's condemnation of these wholesale denunciations, I have some faith in his tender ness towards tbe memory of the dead.

She has made tlic follow ing statement of the murder to the police: She had been living with Charles, as she called the deceased, and was greatly attached to him. He wanted to cast her off, but she loved bint so much that she could not leave him. She entreated on her knees that he would allow her to remain, but he waa firm, and in fact brutal in his treatment of her, and the Thursday before the Friday on which the body wa. found waa the day fixed for her to leave him, he threatening her with all sorts of things if she dared to trouble him. Further, she had remained in the home in Dcgrmw street all the previous evening, and in the morning when Goodrich got up she again besought him not to cast her off. He was very angry and refused her request, or to hear her at all. He then went into the basement at the front of the house and proceeded to light tbe heater which waa there. She loved the man so much that shccould not leave him, and when she saw him determined to discard her she worked herself up to murder. She had one of his revolvers in her pocket—not the one which the detectives found lying at the house beside the corpse—and while Goodrich was stooping on one hand and knee in the act of lighting the heater, she drew the pistol, and extending her hand toward him, she said, “Charlie.” He looked up, aud she shot him three times. These were the fatal wounds which tho post mortem exam ination disclosed, after she committed the murder on Thursday morning. She waited all that day and night iu the house, watching it Friday morning she had occasion to go to New York, and early on that morning she washed the blood from tbe face of the man with a towel, which the afterwards wrung out, and which was also found damp by the police. She fixed the corpse as it was discovered, and when the had done this she went over to New York for something or other, and was about to return to tbe bouse that Friday evening. She came over by the Fulton ferry and ere she had put her foot on the street she heard the newsboys crying out, “Extra!

He was uncertain as to whether the outraged husband would shoot him, or mur der him with a carving-knife. He stood there, like the boy on the burning'deck, and awaited the result. The outraged husband came up within about two feet of the editor and said: “Cuss your impudence. I want you to stop my paper.” That was all. The editor recovered himself, and said he wonld have the matter attended to at once. Doling all the trying scene the woman stuck to the editor like a sand burr to a girl’s stocking.
