For the Bainbridge Pun.
FROM OUR OLD QUAKER
FRIEND.
In one of yotir late issues you
speak rather favorably of your Qua
ker friend, (A. S.) The mo-t noted
preacher I ever knew of said sect
ffriehds,} stated to a very large
congregation, of which I was one,
that a poor Quaker was the poorest
of all tl lings ; that while they objected
to many of the f< vis and cert mo
nies of other cburci c the vain fash
ions of the world and neglected to
lead a spiritual life (daily converse
with God) they were of less value
than an empty casket. I fear lam
one of his poor Quakers, though
spoken of by you as I have stated.
The name you gave me carried me
back to my early and happiest days,
and as I find so few in the South
who knew anything definitely about
them—will give you some history of
them. I am often asked if there is
not a great affinity to shakers, noth- I
ing more insulting to a friend or i
ev to one descended bom them.
Their leading laws ale opposition to
oppression of every kind, particular- |
ly opposed to slavery and opposition to j
war; Their recommen * to mem-j
bers—“ Plainness of speech, beha- ,
vior and apparel,” is not enjoined as
many suppose. If agreeable to you '
I will write you a long article, and j
try and show you, that no genuine J
Quaker (properly friend) of the old j
Faix, Penn and Robert Barkley j
school can even vote for U. S. Grant—
not so ranch that he lias* been a sol
dier (a General) as that he lias not
been a good one. Washington, it is
well known, loved the Quakers.
Friends hived him ; ari l Why?
I will try and show you in niv
long epistle, conditionally promised.
As you have called me a Quaker, !
and L have told you their leading
recommenuations, I will make it
as effective' as I can, but it will be in
language the world will tfernd com
mon-place—rrietbinks I hear some of
my old Bainbridge friends sav “ a
virtue of necessity.” If so, I will at
least comply with What is stated m
file premises.
I also wish to say much to my old
Democratic friends who call them
selves “ straights.” I believe Col.
Arnett of vour city, knows that iiiore
than forty years ago I came South,
not only a Quaker, but an old Clay
ard Webster Whig. And when nulli
fication staffed, as my political friend (
mostly advocated it. I joined his i
regiment under Capt. McDonald,
(afterwards Governor of Georgia,) ;
I think we fought five years and did j
not hurt anybody. They (Southern j
Whigs) were patriots, but w rong j
upon one question. Grant and his
confederates are iu error upon every
question, and if not removed speed
ily, the vitality of the South and na
tion will be lost. I wish to show
in ray long epistle, these direful con- 1
sequences to the South and North-'
west particularly—than the Nation-
And that the four years they-Mliose
opposed to Greeley.— propose to be
under Radical rule to preserve “De
mocracy pure,” will prove the worst
bane it lias ever received. Mr. Ste
phens I think in the past has been
generally rignt. I think he is now
fighting against his God, his con
science and his country. I have
read nearly all he has written in liis
“Sun” for nearly a year-—each num
ber strengthens me in such belief.
More than thirty years ago I was
then a small light or actor in the
Go' . i Legislature, he a brilliant
one I have loved him ever since.
If lie, and those of like worth do not
help us, I shall love them no more.
Examine Mr. Moses’ 1« tt<-r of Co
lumbus, I have no objection to such
“ straights ” as he. There is more
sound argument in his article, in my
opinion, than has beat or can be said
by all the “straights” of the Nation,
opposed to his views upon the sub
ject I received your last number.
Your prospects in Bainbridge are
beeoming more bYigut and in tin*
very short period that may be allot
ted lye here, I hope to see it taking
those rapid strides to greatness I
have long expected. A. b.

Mesolved i hat in defeating the bill
regulating the matter of legal advertise

ests of others.
Resolved i'liat we express our unfeign
ed astonishment at the course iff certain
Senators, iu going beyond legitimate argu

among the grand, foremost agenciesof pro
gress and civilization.

separate and apart from either proprietors
or conductors, with an existence all its
own. and as such wielding an influence
greater tlißri any single person or set of
persons, and second to none in the land,
and certainly not inferior to that of many
then in public station, notoriously elevated
to their position by the power ot the press.

Anew power niachine is now being man
ufactured which, ft is stated, is axccedhig
lr useful for driving sewing-machines and
other light machinery. This machine con
sists of two eh aits, with four st«-cl springs
coiled upon each, and a counter shatt with
cog-wheels so arranged as to permit the
application of the whole hr part of the
power. The winding shaft haa a groove
to receive a slide, which catches one spring
at a time ro winding. About ten seconds
are required to wind each spring, and the
combined power will run v the machine at
full speed fur an hour and a quarter. A
very light pressure upon the foot-rest stops
the niachine —the removal of the foot
starts it instantly, and the turning of a
screw at the operator’s right hand regu
lates the sjieed, which will run a sewing
machine at the rate of from sixty totweu
ty-five hundred stitches per minute.

No Homo.
No home! What a misfortune !
How sad the thought! There are
thousands who know nothing of tlio
j blessed influences of a comfortable
! home ; mere because a want of thrift,
or dissipated habits. Youth spent
in frivolous amusements, leaving
them at middle age; when the phvsb
cal and intellectual man should be in
i its greatest vigor, enervated and
j without a laudable ambition. Friends
long since lost, confiden gone, and
nothing to look to in old age,but a
mere toleration in the community
where they should bt’ornaments. No
home to fly to when wearied with
tho struggles incident to life ; no
wife to cheer them in their despon
dency; no virtuous household to
give zest to the joys of life. All is
blank, and there is nohopoor succor
except that which is given out bv
the hands of private of public char
ity. When the family of the in
dustrious citizen gathers around the
cheerful fire on a wintry day, the
homeless man is seeking a shelter in
the cells of a station house, or beg
ging for a night’s rest in the out
buildings of one who started in life
at the same time, with no greater
advantages ; honesty and industry
built up that home, while disipation
destroyed the other.
Grasshoppers in Dakota.— Persons
down from Dakota yesterday report that
vast sw'arms of grasshoppers have appeared
in the section of country between Vermil
lion and ankton, and are committing
fearful devastation. One man said he had
twenty-five acres of corn, and, iu a single
afternoon, it was completely destroyed.
'The stage driver says the insects were au
inch thick in the road, and the wagon ruts
were filled with them. At times, they
passed in clouds so dense that the sun was
obscured. Wheat, oßts, and barley are
safe, but corn, potatoes, and everything iu
the vegetable line, in the track of the vo
racious invaders are destroyed. They ap
peared to come from the South, and should
die wind ho’d its present course, they will
pass on into the more sparsely settled por
tions of the Territory, and tho damage,
alter all, may be trifling, compared with
what it might be. It is to be hoped that
lovva and the rich country this side of Elk
Point, in Dakota, may bo spared; but
it would bo nothing strange if the
gratshopprs which have already appeared
were but the vanguard of a still more nu
merous host to follow. Old settlers dis
tinctly remember tho fearlul ravages com
mitted by these pests of civilization
several years since, and no greater ca
lamity could befall this country than to
again be generally overrun by them. 'The
amount of damage they inflict is hardly
credible to oue who never witnessed their
operations. 'They devour every green
thing in their track, leaving nothing be
hind hut a waste of desolation.—riioux

Campaign Notes.
The Grant men have no faith in a
free press. A Grant orator, speak
ing in oue of the New York districts
recently, said; “I look upon the
public press as a perfect nuisance,
aud the people ought to rise in their
majesty and put down the newspapers
which malign our President.”
Forney on Cameron.— Ihe great
head centre of corruption and fraud,
Simon Cameron, is now in ’Washing
ton, disgracing the Republican party
of the country by acting as chairman
of the National Committee. His
presence there is more dangerous to
General Grant than would be a
Democratic victory in Maine.— Tress.
Editor Macon Enterprise; The
assertion of the stiaigbt-outs, which
they so bitterly and continuously
repeat, that they are not aiding iu
Grant’s election by opposing Greeley,
reminds me much of tlie answer which
tlie old farmer made to the young
man who asserted and argued that
| there was no God. ‘‘Sir, said lie,- ‘the
i man who says there is no God must
; be one of two things, either a fool or
■ a liar. If he cannot perceive the
[ absolute necessity there is of a Crea
tor, he is a fool ;if he does so per
ceive, and says he does not, he is a
liar.” Just so with the straight-outs.
If they say they do not perceive that
they are helping Grant by opposing
Greeley, they are fools; if they per
ceive tfiat evident fact, and still as
sert that they are not Grautites in
disguise, they are liars. Let them
take either horn of tne dilemma they
chose. . Tipanti.
