Blues and Grays.
At Vicksburg, Miss.j-tsrvcral days
ago a cull far a meeting of tlie former
soldiers of tlie Union and Con ft. del
ate armies was published, stating that
the purpose was to foster and encour
age kindly relations between the sol
diers of the late war and to form a
bond’of mutual friendship and good
feeling. Bevoral preliminary meetings
were held, and were attended by rep
resentatives" of both ''armies, those of
the Union army residents of this city
being nearly equal-ill number to those
fe'e' {JoUfedefate army. At a meeting
last night the hotly formed itself into
an association to be known ns the or
der of Blues and Grays. Speeches
were delivered indicative of the ut
most good feeling and relief at this
public acknowledgement of a break in
the dark cloud of prejudice which has
been oppi essing all alike.

Indian Meal as Food.
The difficulties that are found in
growing potatoes, together with the
high price of flour, suggests the ques
tion whether the value of Indian corn
and. its pt-Gper' preparation as food for
liumuu beings, is well understood.
Chemical analysis shows that corn is
rich in the elements that- nourish the
bod}-, while practical exper enee in
some instances, seems to throw a
a doubt upon its. wholesoineness.
The truth is, that while com is full
of ivatrition, it is not practically very
nutritious.- This seeminginccngruity
js easily explained. That portion of
the kernel which is hard and flinty,
is saturated- with an oil- wliioh is not
expelled iu the process of cooking,
and which is an element most difficult
for- the stomach- to digest. Thus,
while the elements of nutrition are in
tea' com; there is so-mueh vital ener
gy wasted in adapfiugit to the wanfcf
of tlie system; that the loss is- nearly ; ^neli
equal to the'p^oht?.’ Is it the will of’ the people of the

On the fourteenthj thousands of the
citizens of New Orieans idet^at the
Clay statue, passed' resolutions de
claring KdHogg an usurper, and re
questing him to vacate the Executive
office. He declined to receive the
committee. Mutual threats were
made.
Afterwards 0, B. Penn, who was
elected Lieut’. Gjvernoi iu 1872 on
the McEuery ticket, issued a procla
mation assuming the’gubernatorial
office, "amt appointing officers to oi'-i
ganize the militia. Only a short time
elapsed before armed . meu were sta-
tloued at the crossings of : the princi
pal streets. Five hundred police ap
peared under Gen. Longstreet with
artillery at I he head of Canal street,
and took position. A fire was open

people killed and wounded; but the'

In tbe memHime President Grant is
sued a proclamation ordering all dis
orderly persons to disband and go to
their homes. The United States
troops quietly held possession of the
custom house.
Tufesday morning about ten thou
sand of the Pehn militia soon captur
ed the State House, and all the State
and city properly was soon in their
hauds. The police surrendered, and
the coup <le dal was complete.
From all parts of the State come
congratulations and ailuouhcemeuts
that the movement to oust tue usur

cept iu’New Orleans, a bloodless, vic-
tory.
The negro did hoit appear
in tlie scene us ; eitliei . aero
martyr. He-and his rignts :are more
proieeted by the new regime than the
old, and no excesses were committed
by'the victors. '
Kellogg, Longstreet and other lead-
ing scaliiwags ’took refuge in the Cus
tom House, and the working of the
State government under Lieut. Gov.
Pehn, went on quietly. Gov. Penn
sent a dispatch to President Grant
announcing the result of the move-
mi hi,' ‘ and containing expressions of
loyalty to the general government.
The suddenness and snebess of this
grand uprising c f the people in their
might to secure the overthrow of ilie
usurpation, shdws that it had been
qnietly and thoroughly organized be
forehand! It is so Ffehchy in its
conception, that only the nobleness
and order of its execution pronounces
i t to belong to the Southern States of
North America.
■'We:beiievS the people of Louisiana
areih'tiie right, and our heart is with
them. May the God of "Peace and
War smile on them, and deliver them
from the vengeance of the dictator at

Radicals of the North may think
when we' ’are right? Let 'our people
raise their voices in prayer for the de

Thonsands of people in all parts of

The President of the United States,
however, will uphold the usurper,

Let all speak at once
This thing of going to town in
search of wbiit is called accommda-
tionjand securing it bn terms that
are definitely understood, and- then
going about abusing the man who ex
tended it, is, to say the least of it,—
is—tiiisMs where the Litin comes in,
and a heap of it. The English lacks
compass. Daring the past- sever
al summers it has been noised abroad,
refused to’ put tip a candidate against
him. With Stephens in the House

Gen. Toombs in ai recent speech at

Dr.Mary Walker Ag -in.
Dr. Mary Walker is a strange prod
uct of our late war—a strange product'
both of its physical and theoretical
excitements. Pnripg the; war Mary
found her way to Castle Thunder; rin
Richmon d, and had a pretty hard time
of it. The worst thing they did to
Mnry iu that lovelyprisou was to force
her to doff her unmentionables "and 1
don the emblematic petticoat of her
sex. At first Mary wept, tlien sue
waxed wrathy, and finally fell into
into love, and quietude. At last, in
1861 she was liberated, obtained - n
new pair of pantaloons, and in' the
position. of a martyr to patriotism,
stalked the smooth and broad paVe of
Pennsylvania avenue, to the amuse
ment of the crowd of idle brigadiers-
jjincl rColonels who ornamented tlie
Unification of the Universities.
Some thirster after fame has con
ceived the idea of the unification of
the various colleges in the State, in#
king each One a department of the
University of Georgia. Many; secular
papers seem to pounce on the idea- as
something grand. We can see' no
good to" result froih.iit,4-fbr besides
increasing the burden of taxation for
their support, each denomination, we
presume, would rather have the entire
control of its own institutions! Sep
arate, as they are, one cannot make
encroachments on another, no causes
for dispute can arise, and many un
pleasant quarrels and much bickering
are avoided Our idea is that men of
different views get along better when-
separate.
We hope the chnrchesand the col-
leges will be kept out of politics,—
and we deprecate the introduction - of
a political issue in which their inter
ests are involved.. Should j the civil
rights bill become a law, and it will,
let 110 tax money go’into these col
leges, and they will be exempt from its:
provisions. This last is a. strong;
point. We vote against unifica
tion. ■ ;-!>!? - -
