We are very much in need of money,
and arelnrerd to make an appeal to par
ties indebted for (subscription and adver
tising to eudoovor to aid us. Wo have
lieen extremely indulgent, and do hope
tins appeal to oar p' trims will not be in
vain. If you cannot square np in full,
pay an much as is i.i your power, and a
great service will be rendered. Several
hundred of oar patrons have not paid a

The Tennessee Election.
The recent election in Tennessee has
cast a dam|K;r over the spirits of those
who have been elated by the hope, that
the people North would arouse to a real
izing sense of the danger in which the
Upmtitry is involved, and ere it is too late,
oemand that onußlitntiomi! liberty be re
stored to nti oppressed people. The
overwhelming defeat of the Conservative
party, in Tennessee, however, is evi
dence that we have not placed a due ap
preciation on the strength of the de
ft ruetives. Powerful in numbers, the
lvadeis devoid of honor, and reckless of
all consequences, the future of the coun
try, ii must bo conceded, is gloomy in
deed.
The returns from the Tennessee elec
tion, indicate that (lie entire Congression
al delegation is Radical, and that most
contcm l l ble aid vile moiiab r, Parson
Browulow, is re-elected Governor by a
majority of bet ween twenty and thirty
thousand. And what bus been the case
in nceuised Tennessee, will most surely
be followed iqi in Kentucky, in the States
north and West, and likewise through
out the territory now undergoing the
process of reconstruction. The Kadic.nl
party, everywhere, is highly elated over
its Tennsaseo victory—Geary, the Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, causing a salute
of one hundred guns to he fired—and the
Conservatives, on the contrary, are char
grilled, disappointed, humbled. The pres
ent defeat is but the harbinger of great
er trouble: it will make the dominant
party more exacting in unconstitutional
demands, and act ns a stimulcnt to Con
gress to carry to still greater lengths
its suicidal policy—destructive alike of
the best interests of the country and lib
erty. Hajx has almost disappeared from
the hearts of the people, and the future
is shrouded in midnight gloom.
As an evidence of the means by which
the Radicals achieved their victory, we
give the following dispatch to the Nash
ville Banner:
Pulaski, Giles County, Aug. Ist.—ft is
noon to-day, and the game has been
piayed long enough for any intelligent
man to see through it.
Laily this morning the few Ilrownlow
leaders hereabouts began to collect in
town. By ten o’clock they had assembled
and concentrated twelve or fittcen him
di ed negroes of nil classes and conditions,
t hey then formed a hue, placed a guard
of loyal militia over them, and marched
them directly for the polls, voting them
on masse the Radical ticket. The people
stood silently by, und witnessed the out
rage without a murmur. Not a harsh
""'i” *| was rpnken or a shot fired, though
«iil of tbe I* adieu In aro armed, and wear
their weapons openly.
1 have it from a dozen of the best men
in the country—and will produce the
evidence il necessary—that Sin ridan,
• rowidow's Commissioner of Kegistra
tioii, took from the hands of negro voters
Conservative tickets, which Imd been
giv n them, ami placed in their hands in
-11 a I Radical tickets tilready prepared
fertile occasion.
You can rely on it, that the whole plot'
tion, so fur as Giles county' is concerned,
is a perfect farce; revolting tuevory prin
ciple of fairness or republicanism.
Arrival of I'uieign (Joints.
Th« Savannah Republican says that
tl.e brig IT. L. Gillian, from Liverpool,
recently arrived ut that port, and has
among her consignees the well known
firm of A A. Solomons <t Cos , druggists.
These gentlemen having ordered ex
tensively from European markets, will
receive and open in a few days 160 pack
ages of everything pertaining to their
business. This is the lir.st installment
*>n their orders, and from its magnitude,
am! the energy and (aste displayed here
t '/'ole by this firm, the public can ex pec t
to see a stock of g< ods unequalled for
variety and taste.
impfirtation will give these gen
tieraen the advantage over many, Vmt
>n quality and price, especially the latter,
■which in these days is the great consum
mation so devoutly wished lor.
W hen we undertake to write anything
in praise of this firm, we hardly know
what to say, inasmuch as the public
generally arc too well acquainted with
its business dealings and prompt, fair
and liberal transactions.
Ni hen they open the invoice, we may
have more to say on the detailed subject
of appearance, Ac.
Burkes Weekly.
This excellent little paper for boys and
girls, published by J. \V. Burke A Cos.,
at Macon, Geo., will shortly begin, in its
columns, (lie publication of a thrilling
story ff ife in Texas, during the early
history of that State? It is from the pen
of a talented Floridian, now resident in
Texas, and the pictures are drawn from
life He was one of the survivors of
Fannin’s ill fated band; was with that
l*iave officer when he was captured, and
w is left by the Mexicans for dead, aftei
the* inhuman hnk’ljwv of his brave asso
elates. In bis narrative be <ietails bib
marvelous (‘scape at that time, and Ids
wanderings for weeks, while attempting
to reach the white settlements. A com
petent critic has read the manuscript und
pronounces it equal, in point of thrilling
interest, to the best of Mayne Reid’s sto

“Necessary Fruits of lire military
Bill.”
The Charleston Mereary aay« that, let
the Military act be Carried out in what
ever way it may, we may be ussured,
as its fruits, of several things—
1. No representatives frm the South
ern States will be admitted to seals in
Congress, and no Slate be admitted into
the Union, unless they arc of the Rad
ical pariy. All, therefore, in the South
ern States who support their scheme of
recormtruction, must be allies and mem
licrs of this party or encounter the disap
point ment of seeing their efforta end in
nothing.
3 There will he no finality in the ex
isting acts of reconstruction. All the
chief leaders of the Radical party in Con
gress openly declare that they have fur
ther conditions and exactions to enforce
upon us. This is exactly the course they
have pursued, in all t mes past. Every
concession or compromise we made be
fore the wnr was but the prelude to fur
ther encroachnionts. But here, the mil
itary act docs not import that it is a
finality, whilst its real authors openly a
vow their determination to enforce other
conditions
3. But supposing that the Southern
States radicalized are admitted into the
Union, and no further terms are exacted
of them—ttiey will not have peace. On
the contrary, all tl.e elements of discord,
confusion and violence will be sown
broadcast throughout the land. Tennes
see, we presume is a safer oxamplar of
Redical reconstruction with this differ
ence, however, in the other Southern
States—that they have a larger element
of negroism, and, therefore of barbarism,
to enhance its atrocities. Radicalism
cannot triumph in any Southern State i
unless the black population is arrayed
against the white. A war of races will
bo inaugurated ; ami their success, in
combination with the negroes, implies
negro rule—and negro rule means negro
governors, negro legislators, negro judg
es, negro magistrates, constables, may
ors, policemen, etc., and ns the sequel to
this sort of domination, that we are to
have war.
4. There is another consequence to
follow the ascendancy of the Radciol par
ty in the South which includes the North
as well as the South— the, wholeJabrio of
the Government of the, United Staten, an a
free government, in to he overthrown, and
a centralized despotism erected in its stead.
_.
A Convention oftHe Conservatives-
The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel fa
vors the holding of a State Convention,
for organizing an opposition party to
the l£adicals--nnd suggests Macon or
Allanta as suitable places for the assem
bling of said Convention.
The following is the proposition of the
Chronicle:
"We propose, as the only way in which
success can be made absolutely certain,
the formation of a Constitutional Union
Party in the South to lie kept entirely
free (for the present at leasi), from any
entangling alliance with cither of the ex
isting parties at the North. The better
to secure the effectiveness and soliditary
of such a parly, wo earnestly suggest
the assemblage, at an early day, of a
State Convention to be held at some con
venient point, say Macon or Atlanta, to
be composed of delegates from each
county in the State, selected by those
who are opposed to the Kad’cul Republi
can Party, without regard to differences
of opinion on the question of Convention
or no Convention.”
An Impending Flare Up
The removal of Governor Throckmorton
of Texas is an open defiance of the Presi
dent by General Sheridan, and may lead
to more important consequences. The
Rational Intelligencer of lust Saturday,
which is supposed to speak the views of
the President, contained the following
ominous paragraph :
"The Executive offieo is a unit, and
consequently there can Ihi no legitimate
executive action but that of the President.
As an inevitable consequence any pro
vision of a statute which contravenes it
is ii jt law and should be prevented from
being carried into effect If for example,
the further insubordination of General
Sheridan should throw impediments in
the way of executing the statute eunsis
tenth- with the Constitution of the Uni
ted Slate", and the President should de
termine to supersede him, it would bean
act clearly within the operation of the
principle wo announce and from which
the President could not deviate in the ex
ercise of a sound discretion us the only
lawful Executive of the country, unless
at the cost of sacrificing the last vestige
of constitutional liberty.
Tlie Savannah News A. Herald
Under the new proprietorship, this
valuable daily paper has been very ma
terially improved in its typographical
appearance, and is now one of the best
journals received at o’*r office.
We also notice that its editors have
abandoned politics, and are giving their
attention to the practical realities ot life
—{audibly laboring for the correction ol
evils in society. Its news department is
admirably conducted; and in every par
ticitlur gives evidence of mechanical skill
and judgment, and great editorial abili
ty. We are pleased to see the change,
and hope the proprietors will make more
money than they need.
A dispatch from Washington, dated
August 6th, says that the President has
given Secretary Stanton a formal inti
mation that his resignation will be ac
oeptablc. The matter has crated con
siderable exciteo cut, and it is thought
that Stanton will n >t voluntarily vacate
! the offi e.
Southern Cultivator
We are in receipt of the August nnm
tier of this excellent agricultural monthly,
published at Athens, Ga., by W. A.
White, at the low price of $.! per annum.
V copy should be in every house. The
present number is filled with valuable
information. We copy the following in
reference to gardening during4he mouth
of August:
In this month, August, the "latter
ruins” usually set in, when plants make
a second growth. The observant gar
dencr, taking advantage of this, can re
new his vegetables. The old plants
having exhausted themselves, must be
taken up and their places supplied with
new ones. lii this beautiful Southern
land of ours, nature will do much, and il
we will take advantage of the climate
and seasons, we may have vegetables
fresh, Hix -months in the year. Prepare
the soil well for the Winter cabbage; set
them out at the first rain, placing tlie
plants as deep in the ground as possible,
so as not to cover up the bud. Bollard
plants put out hi Ibis way, in very rich
ground, will make large fine cabbage
heads—when planted in poor soils, and
near the surface, will make eollords.
Beans and onions may also be renewed.
Most of the ve etables that come rapidly
to maturity may also be renewed. By
all means renew the tomato plants, 'llie
best gardeners in France are in the habit
of cutting ofl' the stern ol the tomato
plants down to the first cluster of flow
ers that appear thereupon. This impels
the sup into the two buds next below the
oldster, which soon push strongly and
produce another cluster of flowers each.
When these are visible, the branch to
which they belong is also topped down to
their level; and this is done five times
successively. By this means, the plants
become stout dwarf bushes, not over
eighteen inches high. Iri order to pre
vent them ft in falling over, slicks or
strings arc stretched horizontally along
the rows, so as to keep the plants erect.
In addition to this, all the laterals t at
have no flowers, and after tlie fifth top
ping, all the laterals are nipped off. In
this way the ripe sap is directed into the
fruit, which acquires a beauty, size and
excellence unattainable by any other
means. It will be well for our friends to
try this simple and rational method ihe
present season. Commence to hill up
Celery, and add more earth as it stretches
up. Plant largely of turnips for the
table—Ruta Bagas for cattle. Now is
tlie time to attend to the strawberry bed,
if you wish a crop next season. Keep
down the weeds, and prevent I heir seed
ing. Destroy noxious insects. Keep
your beds clean, open and mellow, if you
desire to increase your plants, and en
courage the growth off runners by an oc
casional watering. If you do not want
new beds, cut of the runm vs; a light
dressing of leached ashes is a useful ap
plication. We prefer a compost of woofis
earth, mixed with leached ashes. Nitrate
of soda is the special manure of this
plant, used in the spring, in a liquid
state.

A Disgraceful Outrage in Florida.
The Press of the country will soon
find enough to chronicle in ti e way of
lawless and proscriptive violence, with
out going to Tennessee, if the infamous
outrage perpetrated upon our citizens on
the border of this county, on last Friday,
shall remain unpunished.
On that day, a quiet country school,
house nen r ifie Lct.'-t us I lie Mlocosiikie and
in Leon County, filled with men and wo
men from the neighborhood, who had
gone thither to witness the examination
of the children at the close of the school,
was suddenly surrounded by an armed
mob of and guards stationed
around with orders to shoot any one who
should attempt to pass the lines, while
others rushed into the house itself, dc
manding the surrender of a negro named
Kyal. The sudden irruption of this arm
ed and yelling mob upon a,scene so qui
et created a panic among the women und
children, who ignorant of the precise
danger without rushed frantically from
the building through doors and windows,
while tlie white men unarmed and sur
prised could only vainly try to ascertain
the cause of this indignity, ad to per
suade the maddened throng to cease ftoui
further violence. Fortunately the men
who had been stationed with orders to
fire upon all who should attempt to es
cape, moved either by pity or some ray
of common sense, disregarded the order,
and women and children were soon huu
lying away from flic unknown danger.
In the mean time these sable warriors
having put to flight the peaceful occu
pants of tlie house, discovered Uval, a
colored man, the object of their search,
seated on a table on the outside of the
house and although he was known to be
a helpless cripple unable to walk a step
a few of the more resolute advanced upon
him with their arms at a charge and
caused him to surrender.
It may lie a matter of some interest to
know what crime against the laws ol
the country this poor cripple had com
raitted which could in any way palliate
so flagrant a breach ol the peace. It
was fit s : Ryal for some time past, wo
understand has been traveling through
different neighborhoods, endeavoring to
collect funds for the building of a school
house for the children of freedmen, a. and
wlilie thus engaged lie has both in pub
lic and in private mged Ids fellow freed
men not to trust the protestations of
Northern emissaries, but to vote and act
with the Southern people.
This arch conspirator having been cap
tured, a council of war was held, and it
was de ennined to bring him before Capt.
Grunwki.l, of the Bureau in Moiiticelio,
amt accoi-Ji. gly having placed Ryal up
on a horse, they took up their tine of
march to this place ; camped out about
a mile from town, and the next morning,
having left their arms we believe at the
camp, with a rabble rout they presented
themselves with their prisoner before this
functionary.
The Captain, after hearing the case,
startled these sable patriots, with the
announcement, that this was a free coun
try aml.Ryal had thejright of free speech,
however heterodox his political opinions
might he, and advised his captors to de
part at once to their several fields of in
dustry.
J. M. Edmunds, President of National
Council of the Loyal League, has issued
a “special notice,” in which he says :
It being alledgod that a traitor in Ten
nessec has divulged the National pass
word of the order, with some other por
tions of the work, a change will be
promptly made in the same. Until such

Support your Home Paper-
The following remarks, which we clip
from the Madison (Geo.) News, are of
general application, and should rec ive
the careful consideration of the people:
It there is one class more competent
than another to understand, and appre
ciate and feel the pressure of existing
I hard times, or who are more deeply sym
pathetic in all the sufferings of the peo
ple,—that class is to be found at the
financial head of newspapers. In dull
times tiic merchant can hold his wares,
tlie lawyer his advice, the doctor his
physic,'tno butcher his meat, and so on;
but this is not the case with the newspa
per men. Their labor, and talent, and
purse must undergo the same continuous
strain like the string of a violin at Icon
cert pitch; good times or hard times sel
dom increase or diminish their expenses,
and as a general thing it is found ibfli
cult to make both ends meet even In the
best of times. It is acknowledged that
newspapers, properly managed, benefit
the places in which they arc published
The whole community share its benefits.
It is therefore no more than rig-lit and
proper that the whole community should
share its burdens, if inde and it can be
reckoned a burden, to subscribe for your
county paper. It is unkind, nay, it is
unjust to throw the whole responsibility
of keeping up a newspaper upon the
shoulders of one man, who is perhaps
less able than another to sustain such
an enterprise. It is even w rse than in
justice—it is criminal for the citizens to
make-tone dr two copies answer the pur
poses of the whole town by borrowing
and pilfering from each other, and there
by robbing the printer of his life’s blood
and cheating the very devil out of his
just dues. And yet, to the disgrace of
communities be it said, all this is some
times done—the paper languishes and
dies, the town sinks into insignificance,
and the very inhabitants, as if ashamed
and disgusted at their own want of ener
gy and public spirit, begin to exhibit a
disposition to vucate the premises, like a
skulking rat leaving a sinking ship. We
ask, shall this be the fate of Madison?
We hope not. Then let the reader re
flect—those who read the News without
paying tlie publisher—and let him also
induce his neighbor to reflect whether
each and every member of the communi
ty is not to a certain extent moially and
socially responsible for the prosperity or
degeneracy of the country or town in
which he lives?—and let him be govern
ed by the answer which his own con
sefeuce-glvcs him.

Quitman, Ga., July 24, 1867.
Editors News and lie aid:
Some weeks ago I had occasion to ad
dress a brief communication to the Sa
vannah Republican, of a personal char
acter, in which I stated that I was “on
the reconstruction line,” tinder the re
construction measures ofCongress. Since
then tlie nefarious scheme has assumed
such hideous proportions, that self-re
spect and a due regard for the rights and
opinions of true liieu everywhere, have
changed my views and compelled me to
go back to first principles. The conduct
of depaitmcnt commanders and the mis
erable spawns that mainly compose the
registration boards, lias sufficiently un
folded the infamous fraud to cause every
honest man in the ~onth to turn from it
with loathing aud disgust; while the re
cent proceedings of their masters at
Washington, cap the oli'»» v n " A - 1 —
l„(oij prpnilnt reconstruction, except un
der the forms of radicalism, intensified by
negro ascendancy, and the utter degra
dation and ruin of the while race at the
South. This fact is now fully developed,
and I am glad that all intelligent men
see it and appreciate the perils of the
situation. A few weeks ago our people
were nearly unanimous in favor of ac
cepting the reconstruction measures, and
cordially co-operating in the work of
giving “form and pressure” to tin new
ordor of things; but they ) ave been suf
ficiently awake to watch the progress of
the Jacobin revolution, and to read the
great,, unanswerable, convincing, immor
tal argument of the lion. B. H. Ilillon
the situation; and now 1 know no re
spectable white man who intends to be a
party to the crime of destroying the Con
stitution and subverting tlio Govern
ment. They ate resolved to vote “NO
Convention,” and leave the consequences
where they belong—preferring continued
military rule, eternal disfranchisement,
and the poverty and ruin of despotism,
rather than assume the responsibility of
self-slaughter, by draining the poisoned
chalice so graciously commended to their
lips.
We had better ro down with the Con
stitution than without it; and if we have
no other solace in the death struggle, we
shall at least perish with the good con
sciousness that posterity will applaud
and the world approve our devotion to
the law and to liberty. \\ lieu tails the
South, the Constitution falls; and when
the Constitution, liberly. It is wi.hin
the power of the American people to res
cue both the Constitution and liberty;
and if that power lieth not in one.“box
it will be found in the other.

Your obedient servant,
Carey W. Styles, i
S&~ Ex-Attorney-General Speed’s re- 1
cent letter to the freedmen of h entuokv, i
says the New York Tribune, gives prac- j
tieal advice in telling them they must i
work themselves and not depend upon |
others for advancement. Those gentle
men who talk to tlie colored men about
the confiscation of rebel property, ami its
distribution among the negroes, excite
hopes which are likely to he disappoin
ted. The freedmen must raise themselves,
they must work now, and not depend
upon vague promises of future aid. As
Mr. Speed says, there is little more that
can lie done for the freedmen ; we have j
given them all the rights and privileges !
we ourselves possess, and the opportu- -
nity is for them to use. “Cultivate all
the virtues which ennoble man, says
Mr. Speed, 'be honest, industrious, sober,
educate yourselves ; make money and j
learn to keep it ; own your own homes ;
identify yourselves as good citizens with
the communities in which you may live :
in all your dealings with your fellow
man do as you would I e done by. and
learn to respect yourselves that othe-s
may respect you.” To this we would
;:dd one golden rule— for one Iran who
becomes rich by tbe confiscation of the
1 ropert v of otl e s a thousand will remain
poor. No sensible fr< oilman who desires
di-pen 'em: wd hesitate to work for it.

The Confederate Dead now on
Chickamauga Battle Field.
The Trustees of the “Georgia Memorial
Association” having carefully collected
the names as far as possible, of the Con
federate dead who now lie on the battle
field of Chickamauga, herewith publish
them for the benefit of their friends in
the various States. The small appro
priation made by the Georgia Legislature
is very inadequate to the great work and
only serves as a nucleus with which to
begin this work of reinterment in conse
crated ground. We have selected a
beautiful site, which has been given us,
immediately ou the railroad at Marietta,
and now call upon the citizens of our
State to give us the means to relnter
them all in one spot and make it as bean
tiful as their heroism rendered the [name
of Chickamauga glorious. This work
will bear no longer delay. We cannot
wait further legislative action. Nearly
louryears have passed, and the head
boards, and all records are fast passing
away ami in a tittle while if longer neg
lected, Georgians will blush when Chick
amaiiga is mentioned, as Jits unmarked
graves will be an eternal monument of
their ingratitude.

Votes and Olfices.
The Anti-Slavery Standard of New
York has a communication from Charles
E. Moss, insisting that the Vico Presi
dency shall be filled by a negro. It
aaya that tbe negro vote next year in
eleven States will number 650,000, and
there are also about 600,000 votes in
the No th that would join in supporting
such a nomination, and that this vote is
so located as to turn elections into what
ever direction they choose in eight or
nine other States. It would like to see
Wendell Phillips President and John M.
Langston, colored, of Ohio, 4 ice-Presi
dent, aud adds : “The republican party
would not. dare to refuse tbe nomination
of the ticket if resolutely passed.”
The New York Tribune republishes
the communication of Moss, and discern
ing at once that it bodes no good to re
publican harmony opposes it at the jump
It says that the republican party tri
umphed at the two last presidential
elections and in the State contests of’6s
and ’66 by white votes almost exclusively
and does not see why it may not succeed
in ’6B as it did then It denies that there
is any proof but naked assertions that
tho blacks want one of their number
placed on the national republican ticket, ;
and that the indications in various South
ern cities aro that the blacks prefer
whites for office as more experienced aud j
butter qualified. In tine the black wil' j
do well enough to vote, but not to hold
office. But the Tribune is mistaken
when it supposes that the blacks take j
that view of the subject. In the city of;
Richmond for example, they exhibit an ;
appreciation of the sweets of office which j
would do honor to “experienced” white
men. Nav, they seem disposed to take
tho offices' altogether into their own
hands having held a caucus in which
they claimed a mayor and a majority
of tbe council. In a county near Rich
mond, a cotoied man is a candidate for
the Slate Convention who cannot write.
At a political meeting ot the colored pco
pie in Albermarle county Ya., on the 2d j
instant, Rev. Lewis Lindsay, colored, ol j
Richmond, made a speech, demanding a
fair division of all offices and social equal-!
itv. He said the negroes meant to elect j
the Governor and the members of Con- j
guess and a portion of tbe Legislature, j
lie added that wherever twelve men;
were appointed to do any business, six ,
of them must be black, and that if the j
white people sent fifty delegates to the :
Richmond Convention, they must send j
seventy. These indications point to very
different e elusions from tho-e theTri- |
bune arrives at. The blacks \\ dl ha\e ;
the power to elect all the G iverin rs and ;
a majority of Senators and Representa
tives in C mgressin the Souih in States.
If tliey have the right to vote vl-y not
the right to hold office, and wlier vor
they have the power to get into office,
thev are shore ed and aspiring enough
to do it. The while ultras of Congress
can of course fuel no repugnance tolegis
lative association with these represents
tivesof a race which has enlisted so
much of their philanthropic sympathy.
Nor has the Tribune any better reason
for the idea that tlie party is indepen
dent of black votes since it triumphed
without them in the last two presiden
tial elections. There will be a republi
can national convention next year and,
then will occur a distressing dilemma.
If eleven States should send colored dele
gates to that convention aud demand the
nomination of a colored man for Vice-
President, the party must either accede
to the demand, as Mr. Moss declares, or
by refusing it, tun the risk of losing the
support of the 650,000 colored voters
aforesaid and th ir ultra white and col
ored associates in the North, numbering
according to Moss, some 600,000 more.
If on t..e other hand they concede the
nomination to the colored man, their tick
et would be spewed out of tbe popular
throat and their party consigned to po
litical perdition. Still, it is not entirely
certain that the pill bitter as it is, will
not have to be taken. There is plenty oi
time for Phillips, Moss & Cos. to organize
and consolidate the public sentiment of
tlie colored voters by the meeting of the
convention,Jand we shall then see whetli
er the proposition of Mr. Moss will be
rejected, "that furnishing votes must
be reciprocated by receiving a just share
of the offices.”
The Federal Union
This respectab e journal lias reached
its thirty-eighth volume. The editor, in
alluding to the fact, says:
“The present issue concludes the thir
ty-seventh volume of the Federal Union.
A few names remain on our books who
have walked hand in hand with the pa
per since its birth. Tliey have read it
in the best days of the Republic, and they
cling to it still, in the dark and sorrow
ful moments of the nation’s agony. We
intend to keep the principles under
winch we have so long fought inscribed
npou our ban: er in letters of living light
as long as a vestige of our liberties re
main;! and when we can no longer advo
cate these principles, we will draw the
drapery of death about the old paper and
let her die in peace.
Jo?- Ou Thursday morning several
gentlemen, acting as delegates from tlie
Pennsylvania National Union State Cen
tral Committee, (says the National In
telligencer,) waited on the President,
and made known their purpose of organ
izing an independent party. The Presi
dent replied, that inasmuch as he had
often declared that the people should be
trusted with their own affairs, and that
his faith in them had not been shaken,
he could only say that lie left the issue
of the hour in their hands ; and as to the
mode of the practical organization of the
people of a great State, he must leave it
to the friends of both wings of his sup
porters, but trusted that the truo men of
Pennsylvania would bury past political
differences for the promotion of the com
mon end. to wit: the early restoration of
the Union and the preservation of the
Constitution. Congratulations were ex
changed, and the interview passed ofl

Words — Words—Words! If, says the
Day Book, a maniac should attack Mr.
Johnson, he would, no doubt, assail him
with quotations from the Constitution, or
extracts from Clay’s and Webster’s
speeches! If a house-breaker should in
sert Ins head through the window of the
President’s room, some dark night, Andy
would give him a moral lecture on the
sin of theft, quote Grotius and Puffen
dorf, read to him from the Revised Stat
utes, and if the burglar should prove to
be a loquacious individual, and deny his
authorities, he would, no doubt, insist
upon giving him the opinion of his At
torney General on the disputed poiut!
Surratt’s Fate-A I’iecf. ok Spite. —For
ney’s Chronicle has let ofl’ the following
spiteful paragraph :
One of our evening cotemporaries is
nervous about the fate of Surratt, There
need be no alarm on bis acconnt. No
body expects him to be found guilty in
this city, under the present arrangements
for selecting a jury. We have no doubt
Washington is eminently loyal. But the
“Lost Cause” has enough friends here to
secure at least one memlicr of any jury
that may be empannelled to try Snrralt.
Thai one member is as good as a dozen,
so far as defeating a verdict of “guilty”
is concerned. Neither Surratt nor any
body else is ever likely to be punished
in this city for aidii g the rebellion wheth
er as an assassin ot the nation’s Presi
dent or as a Confederate spy and block
ade runner. Surratt is more likely to
get a clerkship in one of the Departments
in a few weeks than he is to be hanged
for his crime.
Tomato Catsup. —Mrs. Page, in the
Prairie Farm, gives her premium reccipc
as follows :
Take ripe tomatoes, (the small
ones arc preferable,') wash, but not skin
them, and thoroughly boil one hour, and
then put them through a hair seive. ana
to one quart of juice add one table
spoonful of cinnamon, one of black pep
per, half of cayenne, half of nutmeg, one
of good mustard, two-thirds teacupful of
salt. Boil three hours and then to one
quart of juice add one pint of pure cider
vinegar. Boil half au hour longer ; bot
tle hot and seal up. This catsup will
keep for years and not “require shaking
before using.” A porcelain kettle should
be used.

Opening of Trade.
We are much gratified to be a 1 le
record a better feeling among our mtr
clmnts, caused by tbe pros pec of an ear
ly opening of busmens. Tlie steamsnips
arrive five times a week from New York,
Philadelphia, and Baltimore, come well
filled with goods for merchants of Savan
nah and the interior, and onr wharves
begin to wear their wonted business as
pect.
The ships going North do not carry
such heavy cargoes, but still there is
enough to make a very respectable show.
There is comparatively a small amount
of cotton going forward, but wheat is
moving lively, aud quantities of fruit,
vegetables and miscellaneous articles
make up fair freights The Sari Salvador
took nearly 9,000 bushels of wheat on
last Saturday, and other ships are tak
ing large quantities.
Onr merchants are already making ar
rangements for the accommodation of
country buyers, who will find it to their
advantage to purchase at their own sea
port instead of going North at the coat
of much time and money. With their
large and constantly replenishing stocks,
our wholesale merchants can supply their
country customers — Sav. Advertiser, Ith.

pet tongued statements of the proprietors of ad
vertised medicines general W, but we are forced
to concur in the opinion, uniformerly expressed
by all who have used Perry Davis’ Pain Killer,
Ibat it is a very valuable article. aDd one that it
would be well tor every household to have at
hand, in case of bruises, scalds, burns, diarrhoea
dysentery, cholera, fever and ague, and the host
of diseases, external and internal, whieh it is
adapted to cure orulleviate. No article of med
icine ever attained to such unbounded populari
ty and extensive ditto-ion It. has penetrated to
every part., even the most remote, of the known
world, bearing with it its healing influences more
potent than those of the spices of “Araby the
blest.” We ure inlormcd by our principal drug
gists. that they sell more of this article for ex
portation than any or all others, and that the de
mand is constantly increasing.—Salem ( (rsaikveb.
