A Civil Rights Question.—Wilmington, N.

brought up by tho refnssl of the "Globe Sa
loon to honor the colls of five darkle* of fash
ion for drinks. Tho ease has been mado np by
the arrangement and with a special viow to test
the rights of "da colored gammon" to drink
where the whites do. There was a drinking
shop for the colored people kept by one of their
own oolor right aloLg side of the "saloon” in
question. The negroes wfd find this attempt
to ooeroe association with the whiles a very un
availing and unprofitable business.
The Most Cexis Tunnel.—A Herald corre
spondent hos traversed the great Mont Cenis
Tunnel. The distance is seven and a half miles,
und is made in twenty minutes. He says:
The heat increase* rapidly until the train
rMOUM the centre. The smoke and vapor make
it neoegsary to keep the carriage window* closed.
But it is not to he imagined that the science
which pierced tho mountain will not soon be
found equal to the removing of these inconve
niences.
The tunnel was commenced on both ends in
Angus*, 1837, and the average progress was
about nine feet a day. On the 7th November,
last, the patties came within hearing of their
mutual blasts, and on the 22d December they
met. So perfect was the engineering that the
deflection amounted to lest than twenty-seven
inch**. The French end was that much too
high.
Tue Western Froieu Fires —The reports
of the prairie and forest fires in the Western
papers are marvellous. The fires have been
extensive and disastrous in Wisconsin, Minnes
ota, Michigan, Nebraska, Dakota and also in
Oneida oouuty, New York. In Wisoonsin they
have swept an area of abont 3,000 square miles,
destroying Umber, grass, crops, fanoes and
many of the houses, mill* * n a villages in that
vast spaoe. Unfortunately, too, a good many
livou have been lost and the tales of distress and
ruin are piteous. Whole counties have been
■wept in Minnesota, and less extensive,bnt fright
ful destruoUon has been sustained in the other
States. Tne whole population has been fighting
the fires; and they bavo died oat generally These
•arioaa calamities are due to excessive drouth

Woman Slanderers.
The Lynchburg Republican has an article on
this sabjeet which shonld be publiahed by every
newspaper in the oountry. We do not reoollect
ever having aeon so much that no fully coincides
with our own viewa on the subject, put in so few
words. The writer starts out with the proposi
tion that regarded from an ethical point of view,
the moot insignificant creature upon God's globe
is the man who traduces a woman. If he does
it to gratify a last of revenge, be is a coward;
if gratuitously, he is contemptible. There is
no outlet for escape; it is a clear and unequiv
ocal proposition.
He classifies male slanderers under three
beads, or rather as influenced by one ef three
cause a: Difference of social station, jealousy,
and lisfiled Inst—the last the most dastardly of
alL To the base mind, a pure woman is eimply
an easy victim. In the logie of inch men, the
pnrity of a woman and the facility of her de
stination bear relation to each other in • direct
proportion. And proportion is disturbed, when
the woman proves no victim; the transition of
lost to bate is as inevitable as the transition of
the chrysalis into the glow worm, Ilato, as an
abstraction, recoil* upon the hater alone; but
it becomes a terrible entity, fatal to its victim,
when it* weapon is a bad man’s tongue.
Competing with the last named class of slan
derers for pre-eminence in meanness, comes the
creature who never originates a slander hinudf.
Oh no, not he! He is merely an eager listener
and a delighted exaggerative repeater. All ho
want* in to hear one word whispered against a
woman, and his fonl imagination supplies de
tails to which hi* venomous toDgue hastens to
give circulation. These creatures are possibly
the guiltiest of all, for they give vitality to false
hoods that probably otherwise would die in their
birth, and send them myriad-winged into tho
world. Find a slanderer of this description, and
to his evil deftness in this branch of meanness
add a skill in, and an appetite for concocting
lying anonymous letters, ami the incarnation of
infamy is found. Who does not know one or
morn of these wretches, and where the commu
nity that they do not poison with their fonl
presence ?

A correspondent of the Valdosta Times makes
the following suggestion, in sn articlo on farm-
ors sticking to their businoFB:
While it is not my purpose to dictate lo the
agricultural society of the State, yet I think it
would not be improper to effer a premium at
the coming Fair in Macon for a dozen first-
cl.iss farmers, who have sold their farms snd
slock Kiuca tho war and made a fortnne mer
chandizing. I would, as an hnmlde individual,
certainly contribute something towards carrying
out the undertaking.
The same paper says:
Wo are reliably informed that during the
heavy rains seme weeks ago, in Ware county,
that the water in low sections was so high as to
go three fret into tho door of an inhabited resi
dence. This is no Orange County hoax, hut a
substantial fact. It is said that there will not
be five bales of cotton made in the connty.

This was reported to Major Wood. He said not

lliree or four miles from the grumbler’* planta

Scqrb Cone.—From all accounts the cone
crop will be moat abundant in this section, the
season haring been very propitious throughout

Many Pulaski farmers, who have heretofore

Gaud from Captain Tomlinson Foet.—In the
Knoxville Press and Herald, of Tuesday, we
find tbo following card. It follows, in that pa
per, the card of CoL Joseph Hodgson, which we
have already published:
I am satisfied with the card of CoL Joseph
Hodgson. I can appreciate that in the excite
ment incident to the occasion, with the limited
information then before the publio at Mont
gomery, an unintentional wrong may have
been dono me. I ask of the public and the
press to realize luy situation as a witness for
the Stato in the case of the State vs. Col. D.
XL Nelson, charged with tho mnrdcr of Gen.
J. H. Clanton, and to forbear comment, until
tbe facts aro elicited before tho conrt at which
CoL Nelson is to appear for trial.
In my judgment, it wonld be improper, at this
time, for me to give an explanation of the cir-
cnmstanccs attending the death of a man who I
was prond to call my friend.
I desire to acknowledge a lasting debt of grat
itude to tbe gentlemen of tbo Bar of the 4th
oircait of this State, also to several of the news
papers of this State, and cf my native Slate,
(Georgia) who so kindly volunteered to shield
me from an unjnst charge of having been an
accessary before tbo fact to a homicide.
I request those of the press who have copied
the speech of Colonel Joseph Hodgson, to copy
this card. Tomlinson Fort.

The Chicago Newspapers.—A Western Press
dispatch of Wednesday, from Chicago, says:
The newspapers will be started egain in a few
days or weeks. Hon. Joseph Medill, of tbe
Tribune, who is ono of the heaviest snfferers,
succeeded yesterday in leasing a brick building
on Washington street. He also pnrehased two
single cylinder presses nsed in a job office on the
West Side, and has telegraphed East for paper
andt^pe, there being nothing left here. Mr.
Story, of the Times, will erect a rough one story
building and begin the issue of a paper os soon
as material can be procured. The Journal is pro
vided for on the West Side. The Post, Repub
lican and Staats Zsitnng will also arrange for
business as soon as practicable. But every
thing most come from elsewhere. There is noth
ing left from the business.
