She aud the children are in excellent health. She wrote you last night by one of ypur captains of Cobb's legion. One of your meu of the same battalion called this morning and brought the papers you sent me, which are the latest wii have from the .North. I have the most painful apprehen sions for ttic future, and they arise solely tyom my conviction of tin total incapacity of Mr. Davis, and conse quently the litter failureofail his pet ty schemes. We have given him ad tho men who would volunteer, allow ed him all the men he could catch at first from eighteen to thirty-dye, then up to forty-five, then all from seven teen to fifty. And the army is small er to day and less efficient than on tlieday the first conscript hill was passed. New congress has given him ull the negroes.and llio result will still be the same, super-added to tho most fatal consequences vhich have ever darkoded our prospects.

What tor? In the name of heaven what for? Is their liberty Involved In out success? Tea; but against them. Are their homes and properly, wives aud children, and country in I all that men hold most dear, to bo rnluedbyyankee success? 1 think not. Have they a keener sense ot honor or more couargcous hearts than their masters? If so, they ought to exchange places. In my opinion, the worst calamity that could befall us would bo to gain our independence by the valorof onr slaves Instead of our own. If wo aro conquered by the fortu nos of war wo may save our hon or and leave the cause 1o our descend ants, who may be wiser an ! braver than wo are, and may avail them selves of the accidents of human af fairs, and yet win that we are igno .nluousty thiotvlng away.

Wo have plenty of men in the southern confed eracy to whip two such revolutions, if Mr. Davis did not keep them out of the bullet department. lie has more men on the pay roll not In active field service than ho has muskets. And yon may throw In the negroes and not increase the army. But if you put uegrOOs and white men in the army together, you must amt will put them on aquality ; they must bo un der the same code, the same pay, al lowances and clothing. There must be promotions for valor or there will beuo morale among them. There fore, it is a surrender of tho entire slavery question. Tho government is becoming a standing menace and terror to every interest. Our credits aro squandered among officials, and nobody, neither* army nor people, paid for services or supplies. The tax in kind is doubled and squandered among post people and the army half subsisted by pil lage and plunder of the industrious classes. All the revenue of nil the countries in the world would not sup port Davis’s government one year; it is one wild waste and pilferiug by his thousands of officials in the rear.

We had supposed, from reading the alarming utterances of tbo Blaine or gans that the democratic party of this broad repub'lc is in a state of demor alization aud discord over the failure of tho administration to tear up things by the root 9 during the six months that it has been in power. Such has certainly been the character of the Information which the estima ble Blaine orgaus have beau dealing out to their too cusily gulled subscrib ers. The indications are however, that the democratic party is in a condition of remarkable serenity—both at the norh and the south —so that, instead of demoralization, discord,di-satisfaction and complaint, then: is nothing but good humor aud hopefulness. A few persistent office seekers hayo their grievances, but whether we sympathize with those persons,or simply have a contempt for their insatiable thirst, the situa tion is not materially changed. The democratic party is harmonious and united. a in its support of President Cleveland, lie has been Indorsed by the demo crats of Virginia, Ohie aud Mississip pi, in fact wherever the party has gathered together its first authorita tive rilterance is an indorsement of the administration. Not only Is the administration in dorsed but its policy—its policy of re form, Now thU means something, it f* significant. It is significant, be cause Mr. Cleveland’s policy is a dis tinct departure from the old methods, and is recognized. Moreover, it is recognized as something more im portant—more far reaching Ilian an attempt to please, or to placate a low independent republicans. Machine politics wilt hare to bo put ou the shelf, so far as Mr, Cleveland is con cerned.—Atlanta Constitution. isn sru-CTO tiik pkksidext. President Noah Porter of Yale col lege savs : “Mr. Cleveland is doing just as I would like and expect a republican president to do." Why should Dr. Porter expect a republican president to doas ]*resident Cleveland Is doing. Tliero has been nothing in republican administrations to jnstlfy any such expectation. No republican president has undertaken to put his adminis tration on a business basis.No republi can president has paid any attention to the demand for a reformed civil scr vice. No republican president lias ever recognir.cd more Ilian half tho people of this country as entitled to any consideration at his hands. No republican president has treated this country as a united land in which every section and class had equal rights and privileges with every other section and class. Yet all these things have been the aim. ami as far as it was in the power of any man, the achievement of President Clove laud, lie is no copyist, lie has acted up to his o vn high convictions of duty, and hardly any contrast could be greater than the contrast be tween his administration and those of his predecessors. What he is doing, judging, from onr experience, in the past, is fust what a republican president might be expected not to do. —Boil on Post. Thos.

J. C. JJankiu, and John. Johu son, of Anderson county, ‘S.C., have just arrjvediu this cily on their way home from a visit to the mountains of North Carolina. They bring with them news of a desperate efloorin'!or between a band of white outlaws and a congregatioh of peaceable and Inoffensive colored citizens in the Cane creek settlement of Rutherford county,North Catolina. From their account of the tragedy, it appears that a large crowd of sub stantial colored citizens of the adjacent country had assembled at the Cane creek church on )at Friday for tho purpose of sending forth prayer* of thanksgiving lo the great Creator for the blessing He has given ‘hem in the promise of an abundant crop >lc!d. Many of the respectable white people of the neighborhood gathered tnenee to lend encouragement to so laudable accuse, and everything went off with quiet and pioasttre—nothing happen ing throughout the pleasant ila.V if mar a single Joy ofthc occasion. But as night began to shadow the receding day tho grim-vlsagcd desperadoes stalked forth and spread terror and violence throughout tho vast crowd. At night a large crowd arid many whites repaired to tho church edifice where art entertainment was being given by the colored psople. The brass band ol Shelby was in attend ance and dispensed free music for tho occasion. A Mr. Given, a reputable white citizen of Shelby, and son of a oftnknr at that plat'C, acted as treasurer for the concert given by the "knights of the burnt cork, and lind in his possession the receipts, which amounted perhaps to several hundred dollars. Just In the midst of the en tertainment when all within the hall was rotrth and merriment, THE RECKLESS OANO Of BANDIT*, outside, led by the recklessly daring Carl Michael and brother, leaders of the band, according to the pwt-ar* ranged plans, made a desperate rush for the door knocking it down and fleeting a complete ingress. Oitcc ®, tlikir murderous deeds were coot life tired.' ’Every light was extinguished and firing from re volvers of the raiders were started. A perfect pandemonium ensued. The vast crowd fled precipitately, somo jrxrtNo ritoM the windows, while many effected escape through the several doors. Many of tho col ored men and women deserted the hall witli lightning rapidity, leav ing their children behind to . add screams to the terrors and take care of themselves as best they could. Mr. Green was dispossessed of the door .receipts as the tho robbers made their entrance. The money secured, their next act on the programme of violenoc ws to rifle the pocKcts of the defen*le* crowd. Two members of the colored brass band stood their ground like heroes, and one offered up his life blood as the result; not, h iwever be fore sending a bullet whizziug with deadly aim through the carcass of oue of the marauder*. Your correspoadout’s informants visited the scone of pillage *ud mur der on the following morning, and relate a blootl curdling account of the picture a* it presented itself to their gazo. The wills and floor WERE STAINED W ITU THE BL.OOI> of the poor unfortunates, while here and there on the floor could bo sees pools of blood congealed. The pul pit, many of the pews and tho Bible were demolished ami destroyed, and the church, so far from looking like a place ol holy worship, presented the spectacle of a bar room broil. Twelve or fifteen nersons were wounded — some slightly and others fatal fy— none, however, had died up to the time the informants left, save the one member of (he hand. After doing all the damage inside | they could possibly do, they returned ! to the campus outside ami commene- j od to destroy every wagon and hack in sight, when they took possession of horses that had been left standing by, and rode off, heading their way towards the mountains of Tennessee. Carl Michael, the leader of the band ofrobbers, and a character of much local notoriety, with tho cool daring and desperation of the western bandit, mounted his flected-fooied steed, and, with a death wound on his person, rode off and made good his escape. Sheriff Blanton, of Kutherford county, accompanied by a posse of fearless deputies, are following THE TItAIL OF THE BANDITS towards Wolf creek, in the uoun tainons part of Tennessee, where Ihfjf pjEcc of refufh tope in the dense fopist aha rugged hills.

The New Brighton Hotel had over 1(X) guests, and great fears were eatertained lor their safety. About nine o’clock this morning the storm reached its greatest veloci ty. At that hour, while the hotel people were at breakfast, tiit Casino (fell wiill a great crash. Fortunately i ail rooms in that building had been va ealed, but there were grave that fears the dining room and main building would soon succumb to the violence of the storm. Brave men were blanched with fear, and their hearts almost ceased to pulstate, so fearful was the apprehension that ladies and children Were doomed to instant death. The ladies behaved with he roism that was grand and sublime. Not a murmcr was beard from their dps. They faced the danger with woh fortitude as to challenge the ad miration of men. At nine o'clock the wind changed frorn Inc southeast and tho storm increased frorn that di rection. When the Casino fell it wasthought that the maaium velocity of the slot in was from 65 to 70 miles an hour. The main building of the hotel is In tact, having stood the storm with se rious damage. It i* said that the present stoiiu has been the most rio tcutin thirty years. At I o’clock the storm was over. The loss to tho New Brighton hotel will be $30,000.

Address. The Dr. Bosanko Medicine Cos., Piqua, O. Sold by Simpson Buss, M. D. Warren Leland, whom every body knows as the successful manager of the Largest Hotel Enterprises of America, says that while a passenger from Ifew York on board a ship going around Capo Horn, in the early days of emigration to Cal ifornia, he leaned that one of the oWeers of the vessel had eared himself, during the voy age, of an obstinate disease by the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla. Since then Mr. Liland has recommended AVER’S SARs.trAIuLLA in many similar eas-is, and lie has never yet heard of its fail ure to eifect a radical cure. Some yeari ago one of 3lr. Lklaxd’s farm laltorers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad State of bis blood, an ugly scrofoioos swelling or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor rible itching of tho skis, with burning and darting pains through the lump, made life almost intolerable. Tae leg became enor mous! >• enlarged, and running aieers formed, discharging great quantities of extremely offensive matter. No treatment was of any avail until the man, by Mr. LelaxiVs direc tion, waa supplied with Ayer's Sabsapa ini.LA, which allayed the pain and Irritation, healed the sores, removed thb swelling, and completely restored the limb to use.
