New Revised Edition. Entirely rewritten byiho ablest writers on every subject Printed; from new tyde, and illustrate ed ■with Several Thousand Engravings and Ma\>8. The work originally published under the title of The New American Cydopiedia was completed in 1863, since which time the wide circulation it has attained in all parts of the United States, and the mgnsl developments which have taken place in every branch of science, literature, and art, have induced the editors and publishers to submit it to an exact and thorough revision, and to. issue a new edit’on entitled The Ametucan Cyclopae dia. Within, the last ten years the progress of dis covery hi;. every* department of knowledge has made a new work of reference an imperative *an! Tlie movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the industrial and useful arts and tlw convenience and refinement of social life.— Great uar« and consequent revolutions have oc curred, involving national changes of. peculiar moment. The civil war. of our own country, which was at its height'when the last volume i f tho old work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new course of commercial and industrial activity has been commenced. Large accession* to our geographical knowl edge have been made by the indefatigable explor ers of Africa, -v.’-'G „ The great political revolutions of me last de cade, with'the' natural result of the lapse of time, hive broi'ght into public view a‘multitude of now men, whose names, are in every one’s mouth, aud. or whose lives every one is curious to know the particulars. Great battles have been fought and important seiges maintained, of which the -de tails are as yet preserved only in newspapers 01 in the transient publications of the day, but Which now ought to take their places in perma nent and authentic history. In preparing the present edition for the press, Jt has accordingly been the aim of tlie editors to bring down the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the. meet recept discoveries in science; of every fresh production in literature, and of the newest inven tions in the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and original record of the progress ol | political and historical events. The work lias been begun after long and. care ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful termi nation, None of the original stereotype' plates have wen used, but every page has been printed on hew type, forming in fact a new. Cyclopaedia, with the same plan and compass as its predecssor, «ut with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, ai d with such improvements in its composition as “*ve been suggested by longer experience and enlarged knowledge. The illustrations which are introduced for. the first time in the present edition have been added hot for the sake of pictorial effect, hut to give greater lucidity and l'ofce to tlie explanations in the text. They embrace all branches of science and of natural history, and depict the most fa mous and remarkable features of scenery, ardii- tecture, aud art, as well as the various processes of mechanics and manufactures.

How it nerves our lit ai t for the strife, to feel the assurance that, she, our mother, is looking to wards us with parental care and anx iety; tliat she shaies oar oppression, and will share our success. I need not enter-into a detailed history of onr wrongs. They are as familiar to every intelligent American citizen as household words. In 1872 we elected our State ticket by a bund some majority, but the will of Ihe people was defeated by the midnight order of a drunken U. S. Judge, aid ed by the bayonets of the federal. Empire. A govern ment that was no toriously defeated in a fair election wus fastened upon us against our will and consent; which we have never rec ognized, except when forced to do so by Federal authority. The nsuFpi^ tion has never been more thun a bub ble or mushroom without the protect- ting arm of Grant. Never has pos sessed a single feutuse of a govert - ment. Never has possessed the : pow er, within itself, of enforcing its au thority. Congress.haviug failed to re lieve the oppressed people of Louisi- uuu from the usurper's grasp, he felt himself secure. Kellogg, with the courts subject to his will,-the Legislature at his com mand, and, above all, with Emperor Grant at his back, felt himself equal to any emergency. He attempted what Ihe Czor of Russia would hai-dly have dared to \b>—to seize the private arms of peaceable citizens. In this attempt he demonstrated the fact that we have been for. two years trying to impress upon the nation: That with out Federal interference the usurpa tion could not last an hour. Tliat he was not Governor of Louisiana, but a military satrap,—tlie tool of a heart less tyrant. That he derived his pow er, not from the consent of the gov ernment, but from the iron will of Ulysses the 1st. Iu one short half hour his Pretorian Guard were swept away—melted like the dew of morn.— Kellogg was a cowardly, trembling refugee in the Custom Honse, without a shadow of authority or power.— Stripped of his de facto robe of purple, that he had clasped around his skulk ing shoulders with Federal bayonets, he once more calls upon his creator for the restoration of his lost majesty his fallen sceptre. Keliogg, or check his id famous ad ministration. But this hope was soon obliterated by an act of the legisla- ture that placed unlimited power-in the hands of the supervisors of regis tration and the returning, boarila. and these were filled with infamous polit- cnl partisans of Kellogg. They have the power to reject the application of any person for registration, aud. of throwing out any box or poll that they choose, and their decision is final. We demanded that the boards lie filled by an equal number of both par ties, but our demands were spnrued aud rejected, ur Opeople seeing the deteru i lation of the usurper to again rob us of our votes, and to .defeat, the will of the people, and being driven to desperation, demanded his abdica- The modern Nero, true to the promptings of his nature, to support those who support him, steps boldly to the front, issues his grand edict, and in defiance of the constitution, law, justice and common humanity, again forces upon an unwilling people an infamous, dastardly- usurpation When Congress failed to give us as sistance, there was but one ray of hope left us.

J. F. T.- Minden, La. Oct. 10th. 1874, S ntho:n Gcverno s, Six Southern "States have' recently been thrown in£o some confusion by strife or fears "of it. In -Eoiiisiuna, Kdllogg, a Republican usurper, prov ed utterly prwerless, aud had to send for the federal bayonets which origin ally foisted him upon a long suffering people. In Mississippi, Ames, a,Re publican carpet-bagger, was so scared by a cock-and-bull story of t ouble in Vicksburg that he hastily t< 1 .graphed for federal troops, was instantly re- bnffed, and became the laughing stock •)f the country. In South Carolina, Moses has just passed through the same experience. While these three Governors, who have nobackiug from the wealth, or the intelligence, or the Honesty of the States over whinh they domineer, have beitn proving their helpless inefficiency, their utter ina bility to execute the State laws with-, out federal aid. three oilier Southern governors, placed iu circumstances more trying than those of Arnes und Moses, have been showing what an executive who really represents the people can do. In Georgia, Govern or Smith had to deal with a danger nus disposition to send troops to help the New Orleans citizens. A few hu morous and satirical speeches by the Governor finished the feeling. In Kentucky, Gevernor Leslie has called a special session of two county courts; has asked the judges to keep steadily at work punishing outlaws for six mouths, if uecessary, and has placed at their disposal militia in sufficient numbers to make necessary :arrests aed enforce sentences,. The resnU is the sudden diminution in the erime.-i that have been disgracing the state.— Turner’s boy ran away; Carter com menced building;a new pair of front- steps; Miller’s wife tried'to get trust ed fora carpet; Anderson’s daughter passed young Dennison on the street without speaking to him, and various otherlitfle incidents of the day?’ There was Polly Perkins; everybody said she was dying for a man, and they shamefully mis-stated her mo tives. I took a little inteiest in find ing-out the -facts and setting her right is my own estimation. Where they stated she ; had walked fourteen miles to get a fellow to go home with her from a protracted meeting, I found the distapee only ten miles, and the going good at that. There they had gone and put four miles oh to that .statement, and were trying to bins the public mind, when tlie real truth w:is as handy to get at as a hat on a peg. Then they said she had boasted of having refnsed 35 offers; I investi gated and found the number was on ly 34. One man on a list of marriage offers makes a big difference, but the gossips insisted on perverting the truth. ' Tkere was Augusta Ratlibone—an other quiet, mild-lempered single fe male. They said she had proposed marriage to seven different men, when the. real, number was.only. five. Then they said she Had once sued-a’man for breach of promise, nud settled it for nineteen dollars and a half. The gos sips also charged her with hiding un der a shed for two hours to see if- a certain man left a certain house where there was a certain pretty girl, at; certain hour. This story went Ml over the village, mnch to her detri ment, until X went to work, aiid elic ited the truth. I fonnd that she nev er hid under a shed at all—it was uu der a one-horse- wagon,..and She got a sore throat, nnd hud to wear a red rag around her throat for nearly six weeks. Let me rocall also the sad manner iu which Symantha Evergreen was persistently maligned. They said she went-to a protracted meeting for the sole purpose of trapping the minister, who was a. single man. I went' right to her nnd got tho truth—she didn't care a copper for the minister, it was Deacon .Smith she was after. They said she knew everybody’s business in tlie town, aud I went to work to nail that lie. Come to find out, she didn’t kno"w any such thiug. There was a new family just arrived the day before, and all she knew about them was that they had four childr. a, three dogs, two cats, three cov/s. one horse, a wagon,- -three 'bed-steads, -seven chairs, an old-fashioned .bureau, a lounge, a blue-edgeil.set of crockery, tasteing liniment on them, and are az eazy to struggle with az a sugar plum. They aint so good kold az they ought to be. Kold dnmplin and raw pota toes eat similar.

Some of them have been already arrested; und one of them has been induced to turn State’s evidence, There is a good pros peet of the conviction of the wjole- gang. Such decisive action by the state authorities has put a sudden stop to the ombrenk of race -hatred, which tho civil rights bill threatened- to cahse. 'Tennessee, is at peace, and white and black are safe within her borders.

At the monastery of St Barnard, 8,117 feet high, the - monks become asthmatic, aiid are compelled frequently to de scend into the valley of of tho Rhone for—anything but a breath of fresh air; and at the end of ten years' ser vice are compelled to give np their high living, aud come down to their usual lev el. At the same time in South America there are towns, such as Po- tosi, placed as high as the top of Mont Blanc, the inhabitants of which feel no inconveqjence. The highest inhabited spot in the world is, howev er, the Budbist cloister 'f the Hanle, in Thibet, where twenty-one priests live at an altitude of 16,000 feet. The brothers - Scblagiusweit, when they explored the glaciers of Ibi-Ga- min in the same country, encamped at 21,000 feet, the highest altitude at which a European “ever passed the night. Even at the top of Mont Blanc, Prof. Tyndall’s guides found it very unpleasant to do this, though the Professor himself.did not confess to feeling as bad as they. The high est mountain in the world is Mount Everest (Himalyi), 29,003 feet, and the condor has been seen “winging the blue air” 500 feet higher. The ah-, by the by, is not “blue” or else, as De Saussure pointed out, “the dis.- tant mountains which are covered with snow would appear bine also;” its ap parent color being due to the reflection of the light. What light can do, and does, is marveluns; and not the least is the power of its attraction to hu manity.

Their children have grown np inher iting their parents' animosity, and their eldest sons have several- times been subpoenaed as witnesses in law suits which have grown out of this dif ficulty. The case had been a sort of suit in chancery, having run ou from year to year, both men Bpending their money in lawyers’ fees without any legal conclusion. Abont a year ago the two farmers awoke on Monday morning to find that each had lost a child,, one his youngest sou, and the other an only daughter. Like the houses of Mon tague and Capulet, in “Romeo and Juliet,” the scious of the two rival houses had secretly cherished a fond ness for each other, and knowing the feud between the families, without di vulging their passions or intentions they met clandestinely and earned into effect the elopement. A week passed, ai| the end. of which the father of the runaway daughter was called on to go to Erie an* 1 attend again the everlasting lawsuit. He went early to the office of the lawyer, and taking up one of the weekly pa pers, read the marriage notice of Em ma. It was a terrible blow, and he went out into the yard to try to walk offhis excitement.
