In the dearth of topics, quite too reach im
pel tan oe, and quite an unwarrantable Inter
pretation baa been given by tbe papers to tbe
few remark! of Mr. Davis at the Ute meeting
of tbe Southern Historical Society. Upon a
careful reading of tbe few words dropped by
tbe epesker on tbe matter of the late sectional
arar, wa see it U by no means fairly susceptible
of the interpretation pat on it by tbe Northern
prints—that ia lo tay, an avowal of pcrpetnal
antagonism to tbe onion cf the States ander
tbe Federal Constitution.
Mr. Davis was speaking in reference to tbe
true ptinolplee of tbe Government, and com
plaining of the abandonment of those princi
ples in what he tbongbt the too ready sequi
esoenee of the people In the doetrinsl heresies
of Congressional recins’raation. W» have no
ids* tbe speaker bad in his mind any thought
of tbe probability or possibility of xevivtng the
struggle for seotional separation and independ
enoe. However grievous may be tbe ills nnder
which tbe Southern States are laboring, we
don’t believe there is an intelligent citizso of
these States who would voluntarily suggest or
attempt a remedy in s revival of tbe horror* of
tn armed straggle with ths dominant seotion
That great property Interest, valued at four
thousand millions of dollars, which wonld have
trailed any people In arm, for its preservation,
is now irrecoverably lost, and with it all neoes-
asrily distinctive intereets from those of tba
great Atnarlou masses. The evils and oppres
sions peculiar to the Sonth are in their natnre
temporary—they swill perish with * generation
or two, while seotional icdapsndenoe, if it oonld
be won, woo'd be won at tbe ooat of never end-
log tronbles to both sections.
A common Government is far better for both
North sod Broth—if it can be made a fair,
equal and free Government. And let n, not
despair of this attainment. All governments
are corrupted by tbe violence and disorder of
war, and must regain their moral health by tbe
far alowar operation of tbe oorreoting intolli
genre end virtue of pesos. And when we view
with despair tbe depth of political corruption
disclosed by tbe Government of the United
States, let ns remember how corruption infest
ed the Contort irate Government in the short
space of four years by tha some debasing it,flu-
ences.
The oemmen idea that liberty and free Inati
tntiona are won and preserved by war—that war
ia like a Ibnnderatorm in dog days—*weotening
and purifying the atmosphere, is a delusion
Wtr is hell let loose—x Pandora’s box of moral
and political pe-tilenoo opened to disease end
demoralize mankind. It is only when peace
rstorns that moral, politioal, physical and finan
cial health and strength begin slowly to re-in-
vigorate the enfeebled and disordered frame,
and a condition of soaudaess is reached with
tenfold moro tardiness than tbe process of de
moralization.
We say agtln, almost aniverstl history trill es
tablish the fsot that all substantial ameliorations
of hnman condition and government are Ibe
slower snd ssourer triumphs of peace No rea
sonable man oaght, therefore, to give in to the
notion that the Uailed State! Government will
always be nofair, eorrnpt snd wielded In hos
tility to tbe Southern people; bnt enrtnro pres

(lotion and tho Caterpillar.
We saw for ourself on Taesdsy and Wednes
day the oondition of the ootton crop, and its
greatest enemy, tbe caterpillar,.in a county in
S n'hwcsterni Georgia that may, perhaps, be
taken as a fair index in both respeote of tho
sitostion In that section.
While the worms are perhaps not so nnmer-
onsaa last season, nor so retire in their move
meets, they are urdiubtedly there, and in anf-
floient foroe to fairly ravage the crop, under cer
tain oondition* Those we saw were for the
most part “webbing np,” snd therefore tempo
rarily quiescent. When that process has been
oonolnded acd the fiy appears end commences
to lav again, then look ont.' The destruction lo
Ute ootton will be trniy terrific. Even as it is,
there dees not seem to ns any possible chance
for tbe top orop. With an extremely favorable
season tho middle crop may get snch a start
that when the worm does commence work again,
it cillbe so far advanced as to defy bis attack.
Bat even this cannot be anticipated with any
thing like confidence nolees the crop is forward.
These conclusions are based npon the pre
mise of the crop ia its natural state—no ex
terminators having been used. Where poison
bas been applied, they may or may not be
changed. We think some ootton has been saved
by it* applioation—certainly the chanoss of
yonng ootton have been strengthened, bat oar
observatloa was neither extensive nor close
enough to warrant a general verdict either for
or against the efficioy of the applioation.—
Those who have tried it, differ decidedly on
this point. It strikes ns that this diversity of
opinion may be uceonotod for by the diff.-renoe
in the time of applioation. If the poison was
naed early and jndiolooaiy, then its results
were benefioUI. If not, either net at oil. or
not so much. We are inclined to tho opinion
that if the poison bad been nsed npon the fiy
instead of the worm, or perhaps npon the
leaves of tha plants, previous to the laying of
tbe egg. very different results might have been
, Most persons, we fear, applied it too
Ute.
We shall not he at all astonished to gee the
crop of Sratbwesiern Georgia fall off folly one
third from this oanee alone, and with unfavora
ble seasons mnch more. It is opening rapidly,
and where picking bas commenced tbe work is
going on with great vigor. For the next thirty
days there will be a great demand for nimble
flngera tn the ootton fields of that seotion ; and
if anybody, white or black, wants work and does
not objeet to go into the oonntry to gat it, they
otn have a fill of it down there.

Tax Ibiwb—i—The Yellowstone ex
ploring exposition has demonstrated the fact
that that river, with but slight interruptions, is
navigable from the point at which it issues
from tbe mountains tn its month, where it falls
into the Missouri. Ita width varies trom 500
to 600 yards, tbe current runs from thraa to
four miles an nocr, andlhe only obstructions to
cavigattion are a few sand-bars, that could be
removed at little expense. The stream is re
garded as more suitable for steamboat naviga
tion than the upper Missouri, and the opinion
of tho explorers is that it can be navigated by
boaua drawing three feet of water from the mid-
die of May to the first of August. The total
length of the Yellowstone ia about 550 miles, and
of this abont 350 miles trill soon be opened to
Western steamboat trade. It passes through a
oonntry that ia heavily wooded and of great fer
tility, end the stream near tt* source open* np

removal of obstructions.

There is oonslderablo private discussion and
any am-.net cf minor as to the present stains
and real nstare of the correspondence between
Governor Smith and ex-Governor Johnson,
since the publication of the latter’s rejoinder in
the Augusta papers. Jnst how tha matter
stands no one seems to know. The Gnvernor
is reticent, and most that ia pretended to be
known is surmise, and may or may not be cor
rect. It seems, however, to be certain that
some correspondence ia going od, Ibe exact na
tnre of which tbe public will not know till tbe
isane between them ia settled in some way. It
is rumored that Governor Smith bas demanded
the fullest investigation, ard that tbe issue be
Fqnarcly met, and that this demand was not
sent by mail, bnt by tbe hands of a friend. This,
however, may be only idle rumor; inderd,
there is no way, st present, to verify it. I snp
pose, however, there is no danger of a dael or
anything farther than a fall disenssion with a
submitting of whatever proof or evidence may
exist on either side, and I trait tbe issue will
be amicably adjusted.
The Johnson Herald U the name of a new pa

To tbe Oitlzrns of Johnson, and adjsoent
Counties, and the Fnblio generally.
In acsnmlng tbe position of a Journalist, It is
not without a feeling of great responsibility, to
tbe risiDg generation. Bat to all those sensi
bilities, which arises from a Conviction, that
how far wa may make onr self serviceable, in
upholding and promoting, the great cardinal
nrinoipals, of Society, (among which are. Troth,
V.rtue, aid Morality,) are to be tested under
the inspection, of an enlighten eommnnity.
Notwithstanding, we may be snrronndsd with
many embarrassments, (both mentally and pe
cuniarily.) It is onr Bincere desire of being
eervioeable, to onr fellow-man, and more espe
daily, in this hitherto, looked upon, dark, and
benighted country.
Now with tbe best of feelings towards all man
kind, relying npon the patronage, of a gener
ous. pnblio, and more particularly, the people
of Johnson, ana adjoining Counties, (In whose
midst we propose laboring )
We present jo yon, the first issne of, The
Johnson Reporter.
It is onr great dssire, to promote and uphold
Trntb, Justice, and morality, to impart instruc

A Qrz-nox roa Londlcbds—Brother Chris-

been badly treated by some land'ord recently
in the matter of victuals and sleeping accom

It is a custom among certain landlords of
village hotels to locate the judge of the circuit
and a few other favored individuals in their
best rooms—to send for them privately and get
them located in tbe most desirable seats at
table—and to show them sundry and Tarions
other attentions not accorded to other tran
sient boarders daring conrt week. This may
all be well enough, if they pay extra for
these exclusive privileges. Bit do iheyt—
This ia precisely at hat the pablio srsnt to know.
Oae thing is very clear to tbe minds of the
commonest interests, and that is, if the favored
few are not subjected to extra charges, the
many who pay high prices for inferior accommo
dations are grossly swindled! The people are
disposed to inquire into this thing and have
it rectified. Nor is th s thing confined entirely
to village tavern* The more pretentions city
hotels assign their most eligible rooms to those
considered most distinguished by the proprietor
oroleik—to noisy travellers, distinguished for
“fas* and feathers,” while tl,e quiet, ipodeet

Ifhat Grant Thinks of the Third
Term UnvtntM,
The Herald Washington correspondent col
lates in Moaday's israe of that paper the views
of various persons ia different parts of the
oonntry on this snbject, and among them those
of the person principal y interested. He says:
A few evenings before be (Grant) left the
Branch on bis Nuithern tour the artio es refer,
red to were the topio of ccnveisition among
those familiar as his bonsubold with tw>or three
visitors, relatives of the family. Daring tbe
conversation ’he Prt sident was a good listener,
leisurely pifflig his cigar, with his dex'er
leg resting on tbe left, when the question
was asked what he thought of tbe di°cnssion.
Wby,”heoaIm1y replied,“it doesn’t interest me
to the least. It is no badness of mine to manage
tbe politics of the Oonntry. Tae execution of the
duties of tbe office of President are as mnch as
one man can attend to,and a good deal more than
I find agreeable. It is pretty well known that
I reluctantly consented to give np my commis
sion as General, even when the snooeis of the
Republican party was assured; bnt, having
accepted the nomination, I was bonnd to stand
by it. Toe eecond nomination was equally no-
sought, though I freely told my friends I
thought the party owed me a vindication for
having imposed with the office tbe aspersions
of their politioal enemies. I didn't bargain for
that, and thought the charges n fleeted more
justly npon tbe party for having made the mis
cake. I was perfectly sati fi d what tbe resnlt
wonld be st Poilnd'-'lpbia, as I was of what
wonld follow in November. It was none of
my bnaine°* except to accept or decline a
privilege I k iow some of ont friends
wonld be glad to bvve. Let me see; this is
Aogn-t—March to Angast is fire months, and
now the newspapers are anxious to know if I
am to serve a third term when tbe second ia
hardly begun. The way Congress bas treated
all my reoommendatiens doesn’t make me ap
pear either teflnential or daegeron* I often
think of Linooln’s answer to the importunate
applioant for army honors—T haven’t any in
fluence with this adninistration, my friend;
yon will hive to appeal to Gongrer*’ If the
newspapers want to koow whether I will he re-
nomir.a’ed why don’t they quiz the party that
elected me ?’”
“Why don’t yon ailenoe this rqnabble by an
nouncing yonr intention to retire to private life
at the end of the term? ’ asked one of the com
pary, jokingly.
The President promptly answered—‘ Y m for
get tbe fate of Colfax. Will it not be time
enongh to refasc when the refusal is at my dis
posal?”
All of which we take to mean that B'i kis ia
not only “willin’’ bnt anxious.

Extra Bioaxos—CnicuiiVENTnio a Rail
way —A Mjrristown, Nsw Jeraey, correspon
dent of the New York San show* how a rail
way may be circamYonted on the extra biggage
qn6Stion by the following illustration:
The M’sr.e8 Hunter, of this town, haying
spent an agreeable nammer vacation from their
home, lately arrived in New Y*>rk, previous to
their starting for Morristown, and purchasing
at the Mirria and Ecex depot the necessary
tfeketa, prasen f ed the p&nn to tbe baggage
master. r» soectfally requesting him to have
their trunks, seventeen in number, checked
Tbe th r ewd dignitary gave a long, shrill whistle
and informed them that tbe express olfioe was
tbe proper place in which to apply if they
wished to t*ke their trunks with them, as each
pafsanger wes allowed bnt one hundred pounds
baggage. Iuqairy at the latter place revealed
tbe faot tbfit ibe exorbitant tariff of $1 25 was
was demanded for e&eh trank. Upon the ladles
remonstrating the expressman gallantly re
lented, and agreed to serxl the contraband
goods for one dollar eaoh. Bat the ladies, re
membering that a pacsenffer (and a trunk if he
choost-) is carried over the road for eighty
centa, demurred even to this magnanimity, and
without farther ado qnietly w&'ked to the
ticket-ofilse and bon^h r . fifteen tfckeN. These
they exhibited, and tbe baggage ofSrial gave
the ladies the cVckn which they sought. The
rranlt of this finar cial maneuvre is that the
Missra Hnn»er have fifteen tickets, only two
being demanded of them by the conductor ; as
they are good until ved, according t > stipula
tion, the company may be compelled to trans
port fifteen passengers, with as many tranks,
if necessary, from New Yoik to Morristown.
The Healthiest City on the Continent.--
Charleston, says the News acd Conner, may
fairly c?aim to be the healthiest city on the
continent. With upwards of fifty thousand
inhabitants, the official bill of mortality for last
week gives a total of bnt JifCeen death*, four of
which were from infant lockjaw, and the rest
from ordinary disease*. The deaths for the
corresponding week lad year, which was gen*
erally considered a healthy season, were twenty’
nine. In this connection it ought to be men
tioned that notwithstanding the leeent heavy
rains an in&pection of the drains and low lots
in the city discloses tbe gratifying faot that
very little water has been left on the surface.
Everything presages an early and active open
ing of the fall trEda, and unless the signs are
very deceptive, tbe bnsiness of Charleston, dur
ing the coming winter, will be tha heaviest and
moit profitable that she has ever known.
One day last week the grass in & swamp sit
uated in Hopeviliedale, CL. was cat, acd the
question aro*e among the laborers whether it
was dry enough to be carried into the barn.
To test this a lighted match was thrown into it,
and in about five eighths of a second they were
looking aronnd for tbe hay. One of them then
thought of his vest in which he had a small roll
of greenbacks, and which he had thrown down
somewhere. He found the place where he had
left it, and that’a alL The swamp now resem
bles a bnrning Vesuvius, as underneath the sur-
iaoe there is heat to the depth of eighteen or
twenty feet, and which is on fire, and will prob
ably burn until the swamp is inundated by the
fell rains.
A Negro Party.—Tim on telegraphs the
Richmond Dispatch from Washington, the25ih,
as follows:
Several of the leading lights belorglng to the
colored element of the Radical party nere have,
in imitation of the colored people in Ohio, ocme
to the conclusion that to carry out completely
the principles cf their party U is necessary
that they shall cut themselves entirely aloof
from their white brethren acd put none but
Africans on guard. The determination to In
augurate a black man's party causes a very
dlftBgresable sensation in the Rsdical party, and
is destined to make a very serious split, fts it
will not confine itself to a local character, bnt
is certain to spread throughout tbe States.

Halifax, Angnst 28 —Accounts of the recent
disastrous storm in thi9 province are continnally
cominfi to hand. The gde was severely felt in
tbe town and connty of Picton. Io tbe harbor
the tide rose to a great height, and in the town
trees, fences and chimneys were blown down,
and goods acd obattds scattered in all direo
tions.
At least twenty schooners were driven ashore
on tbe side of harbor, bnt mcs!; are believed to
be comparatively free from damage. Seven
vessels «ro ashore at Port Mdgrove, four at
Pimte C >ve, four at Port Hawketbarg, and foar
at Port Hood.
Eastward of Halifax the gale was tbe fiercest
known for years. Buildings, trees and fences
wore blown down and strewn in every direo
tion? and it is reported that two unfinished
chnrohes were blown down at Cape Ray.
The same accounts of the disastrous effects
of the hurricane come from other sections of
the province to the westward. Tho fruit crop
has been almost wholly destroyed, and within a
radius of two hundred miles feuoes, trees and
bams are prostrated and shipping damaged.
The frnit orop of Kings connty and adjoin
ing counties seffered terribly, bnt no estimate
can he formed now.
Six brigs and eight schooners are ashore and
dismasted at Cow E*y, a number of others are
diamaited, bnt are atill afloat. Basides, there
are a large iinmber of fishing schooners ashore,
which have been generally smashed np beyond
all hope of identification.
Tho number of disasters to voxels at Cow
Bay, amount to fifty-six, including vessels
ashore and dismasted.
So far as ascertained,bnt one life was lost. Dar
ing the height of the gale, the crew of the brig
G. J. Troof, being in great danger from Ire
mendous seas breaking over the ve.«sal, Captain
Mo Arthur had a boat hanled over the sands,
a distance of two miles, and launched to succor
the exposed crow. The boat was manned by
C&ptain McArthur, Ralph Candor, Captain
Martel and his brave fellows, and wore suc
cessful in saving the lives of those on board—
eighty of them—who wonld, in all probability,
otherwise have perished.
Not in the memory cf any residsnt has snch
destruction been known. At the breakwater,
ereoted at an enormons outlay, tbe sea played
fearful havoc. All the new work and a portion
of the old one is gone. The docks are also de
stroyed.
The damage to wharves is expected to reach
.$100,000, while other damages, including that
to shipping, will probably foot np over $100,-
000. It is thought over one hundred vessels
have been drawn ashore at the several harbors
at Cape B*eton. Seventeen barks and schoon
ers are ashore at Sidney. It is said that this
does not raolnde all tbe vessels destroyed, es the
fleet of Pr*nch schooners put in there during
the gale, and in all probability many of them
were wreoked. Eight vessels are ashore at
Gnisborough, and every wharf in tho hirbor
destroyed.

The Brooklyn Defalcation.
It is new known that the Brooklyn city Treas
urer is involvi d in the common catsatrophe of
the Brooklyn Trnst Company. Lite last night
it was ascertained that the city treasury had
been rebbed of a largo amonnt and that Bad-
man, late Assistant City Treasurer, acd Secre
tary of the Trust Company, was the guilty
party. Kidman, noting in his double capacity,
was enabled to cover np the deficit by making
falsa statements, covering Ihe emount of city
money on deposit in the Trust Company. The
total defalcation is $203,000.
Spragne, the Treasurer, i3 responsible for the
loss, lie hns sold bis stock in the Brooklyn
gle for $55 000. Tho bondsmen are folly
responsible and will not lose. It said they have
pledged themselves to make good any deficiency,
and that Spragne has made a a assignment of
his property to piy, even to his himehold
goods. There are those who assert that Mills,
of the Brooklyn Trnst Company, who was
drowned at Caney Island, was implicated with
Kodman in this deficiency.
