One other very noticeable thing in the c Pv is the Elevated Railway. This is Jant to run from one end of the city to tiio other, and, us its name imports, is a r,, c 0 f travel erected above the level of J; e roadway. To some idea of it, ar e to imagine a row of thick iron posts, made of heavy p ates, riveted to- L t l ier , placed on the outer side of the walk, at intervals of about twenty feet apart, and rising some eighteen feet in pt. At two-thirds of the way up, columns branch out. somewhat- in the fashion of a spreading tree, and on these branches the track is laid Over this, the cars are to he propelled, by a system of chains, which are worked by steam engines, under ground. When it is desired the car shall move, this chain is attached, and away it goes, the sub terranean engines working incessantly. When a passenger desires to get on or olf, the engineer moves a •lever, the chain is disconnected, and the car stopped Steps from the sidewalk are to lead up to the track. How the idea will work in practice, does not appear, but about a mile b ' uilt, and is said to operate well. The reason of the elevation is to double the capacity of the thoroughfare, by making, as it were, a two story street. The death of Thaddeus Stevens will strike the Southern people as the removal of one of our most inveterate enemies. XU de mortuis nisi bonum , is a motto that almost precludes one speaking of this persistent tyrant ; but the same Power that has taken him away, seems preparing the utter and speedy downfall of the iniquitous system he devoted the last remnants ot his acrid life to setting in operation. In November, it will be written of Mr. Stevens that his works do follow him. In the political world, all seems hope ful for the resuscitation of constitutional liberty. I have known, for some time past, but one leading man here who thought Grant would succeed, and, since the tremendous victory in Kentucky, even he concedes that the Butcher of the Wilderness will never sit in the White House. When thieves hill out, says the proverb, honest men come by their own, and the candidacy of this Grant has been the occasion of so ventilating his military career, as to show that he lost over six men to Lee’s one, in the tremendous campaign when the right of a people to choose their own Government went down. A strong impression in the North is that Grant has had all he deserves, and many thousand men will vote against him who, were he not already in the ample pos session of wealth and military rank, would give him their suffrages. Should all things work on till the election as they are now doing, the defeat of Radicalism will be absolutely appalling. God speed the blessed day! The South has but one duty—to stead fastly remember that the State Govern ments of '6a are her lawful State Gov ernments, and that these Negro and bayonet fungi at present afflicting her under the name of Governments, are absolutely null, void, and of no effect. Not even in words, should such an idea as their being other than the most un mitigated scoundrel isms, be conceded. iTess and people alike should always allude to them as the bogus Governments, the pretended Legislatures, the fraudu lent Governors, Ac., Ac. There is not a giain of legality in the whole dirty pot of ’em. Gne reason for so insisting on this, is that, when Seymour is elected, the first question will be: What is to be done 'Gth the South? And we must stand h'rtn to say, let the State Governments G 05 resume their interrupted functions. Having overcome the disturbing cause, we have only to go back to the point of departure. This, the only safe and feasi ble plan, plain, direct, just, and simple, forbids any acquiescence in the legality ot Negro Suffrage. That point must " CV€/ ' bo conceded, for that point alone is the Anng that, in this contest, concerns die South. Tyrone Powers. UTTER FROM HON, G, H. PENDLETON.

Nothing would llil Td them more pleasure than to have this great statesman visit and speak to them on the momentous questions now before the American people, and we ear nestly hope that he may yet find it in his power to visit this portion of Georgia be fore the Presidential election: Dalton, Ga., July 27, 1868. Hon. Geo. 11. Pendleton , Cincinnati , 0: Dear Sir —There is a very widespread desire among our people to have you speak to them on the great questions of the day. We will get you a rousing mass meeting_of our best citizens. lam authorized by our Democratic Club to re quest you to visit our county, and appoint a day when you will address us in Dal ton. You can do the cause good, ar \t contribute to uniting the two sections, so lung parted. We can assure you of a hearty greeting. Trusting that you may be able to.arrange to visit us, I am, with high respect, your obedient servant, I. W. Avery. Cincinnati, August 5, 1868. I. IP. Avery , Esq., Dalton , Ga.: My Dear Sir—l have received your note of the 27th of July, asking me to ap point a time at which I can address the people of Georgia, in your city. My ab sence from home prevented an earlier reply. My engagements in the Northwestern States will keep me constantly occupied, 1 tear, until after our State elections, which will be in October. 1 cannot now promise what I will be able to do after that time. It it is within my power-no thing would give me greater pleasure than to visit the State of Georgia. There are certain family and social ties which connect me with that State, which I would he very glad to renew. I have at heart, most earnestly, the reunion of all sec tions of the country. The Northwest and the South, by geographical posi tion, and by the laws of trade, which depend upon circumstances not to be controlled by men, have an identity and unity of interest which it is the duty ot all good men, and especially of all public men, to cultivate. I should be glad, in an humble way, to con tribute to this result, and shall feel it my pleasure, not less than my duty, whenever it is possible to contribute to this end. I am very much gratified at the very friendly terms in which you have given your invitation, and am, Y r ery truly, yours, Geo H. Pendleton. [Dalton North Georgia Citizen . “Carpet Baggers.”— By this expres sive title the people of the Southern States designate the tramping and prowl ing Yankees that have gone down into those States to tarry for a season. The lorce of the term is well appreciated where its use originated. But it seems as if New Englanders, of all opinions, are not competent to understand it. The Tribune , of Monday last, has an elabo rate article to prove, first, that emigra tion from one State to another is all right; and, next, to show that there is no real difference in rights, or in claims, be tween the man who emigrates with a carpet bag, and the one that goes with sundry heavy trunks and boxes. It is altogether to miss the point to consider the carpet bagger as contempti ble because of the poverty of his outfit. That is not it. In no part of these States lias honest poverty been more respected, or treated with more political good-will, than in the South. Besides, the greedy carpet-bagger may have a hundred thou sand dollars in his bag. The “carpet-bag” is taken as the con tradictory, not of wealth, but of perma nence. It is the badge of the fellow that is here to-day, and away to-morrow. It marks the man that has no fixed or abid ing interest in the place he stops at. It is this floating character of the carpet-baggers that arouses the distrust, and provokes the contempt of the South ern people, who, as lauded occupants, are not much given to migration. « They like to know a man, before seeing him busy himself with public or political affairs. [A r . Y. Freeman's Journal , Aug. 8. Release of a Political Prisoner.— John Ryan, carpenter, ofNenagb, was re leased from Kilmainham Prison, on Wednesday, the 22d ult., after an im prisonment of fourteen months. Mr. Ryan pleaded guilty to a charge of having en deavored to induce some soldiers to join the Fenian Brotherhood, for which he was sentenced to twelve months’ impris onment, with hard labor, after having been in custody for two months. He is a fine, strong, intelligent-looking young man, but his health lias suffered in conse quence of his lengthened imprisonment. There are four political prisoners still in Kilmainham. O’Connell, of Cork, and Webster, of Bolton, both retained in cus tody under the Suspension Act, and two young men named Tompkins and Craven, both ot Dublin, both convicted of having taken part in the Tallaght rising. Out Late. BY A. E. WATSON. l. “Your coming in last night, my dear, was late; A hundred times I heard the garden gate Swing on its hinges, and eaeh time I thought, Now Robert’s gone—l’ll open th’ door for Kate; Perhaps she’ll tell me something I should hear— Some sweet intelligence that Robert brought; But Kate, mayhap, ‘twas only for your ear? n. “But you were out so very late, my dear, I could not wait until you did appear; I heard low voices, mingled with perfume, Float through the window, but I could not hear A word that was said; but somehow, I knew Or thoughl I knew, a rose would be in bloom Ere the moon went down upon the glittering dew. m. ‘I thought, perhaps, this morning you would spoak, And tell me something; and you looked so meek; When you came down to breakfast, and I saw A bran new rose-blush on your happy cheek; Theu I was certain something had been said— Something that had the wondrous power to draw Blood from your heart to cheek. You’re very red.” IV. “No, mother, really ’twas not very late; True Robert kept me at the garden gate Till the moon dropped down close to the burning West; But I was not dreaming that you ehoosed to wait Until my coming in, or I had bid Robert be gone, else he disturbed your rest, Nor wait to see that poppy lift its lid. V. “Nothing was said, I’m sure, you might not hear, And will not hear—some day. We saw a tear Rest on on a tulip’s eyelid; saw the Bear Climb out above Arcturus to his throne, And, by a flre-fly-lamp’s impulsive glows, A ripe red poppy burst its tender cone. VI. * ‘And, mother, before he left, Rob. bade me say— (Do see bow red our rose is grown to-day; And ten new buds peep out their pinkish tips, To kiss the glist’ning drops of dew that lay Iu the soft beauty of this morning’s hour, Like kisses on a baby’s rosy lips;) He’d come to-day and ask you for a flower.” FOREIGN NEWS, We fear that these bloody-minded rebels of the South are going to Kn-Klux the Emperor of the French. From the fol lowing paragraph one is led to believe that a band of the Ku-Klux Ivlans must be in possession of the capital of that Empire : For the last day or two it was reported that certain seditious placards were found posted up during the night in the fau bourgs, and were torn down in the morn ing by the police. I have met with no body who has seen those placards on the walls; but the Pays publishes one which its editor asserts he received in a sealed envelop by the regular post. The docu ment strongly resembles one of those things which are composed for the pur pose of mystifying, and it is couched in so wild, incoherent, and exaggerated a strain as certainly to suggest doubts of its genuineness. It reminds one, too, of the “infernal machine” discovered by a zealous functionary in a Southern Depart ment during a tour of the President of the Republic, but which was so clumsily put together as to excite derision. The name of some unknown person was given as the author; a diligent search was made for him, but lie succeeded in baffling all his pursuers, and has never since been heard of.— Paris Correspondence Lon don Times. A Scandinavian Union. —Letters from North Schleswig state that the betrothal of the daughter of Charles XV. of Swe den, the Princess Louisa, to the Prince Royal of Denmark, must be considered an occurrence of great political impor tance. For some time past this event has been anticipated, as flattering to the amour propre of the Court of Denmark, and congenial to the aspirations of that of Sweden. King Charles having no male successors, the crowns of the three Northern Kingdoms may be one day united oil the heads of the young couple. To hasten that consummation, the ques tion may even now be mooted of the renun ciations which the people of Denmark will doubtless be disposed to obtain cither by good will or foree. The tender ago of the Princess will unquestionably retard the marriage for some time ; but when gt has taken place, ulterior move ments to establish the Scandinavian union may b,e confidently expected.— Siecle. A Sale of Girls near Calcutta.— The India Daily News publishes a transla tion of a letter which appeared in the Shome Prabash, “one of the leading native newspapers.” The letter is dated May 25, and the writer signs “ Unmar ried.” The writer says : “ Desirous of viewing the beauty of the Bazaar of Man ickgunge, situate within the Birdwan Zilla, I was facing the narrow path between the rows of booths. Observing a crowd in one spot, I asked a gentlemen, ‘ Sir, what is that row about ?’ He answered, ‘ There are little girls being sold.’ I said, ‘ You are playing jests. Are you not aware that this is the English Gov ernment ? On this he replied, ‘ What, sir; do you not know that there is per mission tor the sale of young girls in he Bazaar ? If you do not believe me, mea sure a lew steps forward, and all your doubts will disappear.’ I reached the place and perceived a cluster of girls from two to thirteen years of age, brought there lor sale. I found some brokers walking to and fro, and summoning the customers. To obtain the girls every one at first supplicated them. If they can settle a bargain, they generally get ten per cent, as their commission, and over and above that at times some offer ings. Having seen some customers clus ter round a girl of thirteen, I went to the spot. I found all of them lost in silence and amazement. After hearing the boast ful, high-toned words of the seller, struck with the exquisite beauty of the girl, I at once took it into my head to ask about the price, when an old man whispered an offer of Rs. 750 to the broker. Then I inquired the price ot a handsome girl about fourteen years of age. But her master was sitting* coolly by, fixing her price at 450, and the broker said that many had bidden 350, but still he had not consented. I also saw the exchange of daughters in another part of the Bazaar. Those who were concerned in it did not take much trouble, for a bargain was soon struck, but by that some party or other must be the loser. Mr. Editor, turn the attention of the Government offi cials to this matter.” An Italian Criminal.— An extraordi nary series of crimes have just been com mitted at Verona by a man named Bez zatti, aged 63. He had been recently dismissed from some employment under the municipality, and a prosecution was commenced against him for embezzlement of property belonging to the city. A few days back, armed with a pitchfork, he entered a case in which the Mayor was seated, and attacked him on the instant, inflicting several dangerous ; o then went out, and meeting two persons, named Brescani and Frans cescaini, killed the former and grievously injured the latter; he next entered an other case, and assailing the Municipal Assessor, M. Fassesti, mortally wounded him, and inflicted serious injuries on two other persons named Sagliaferri and Anti. He was at length secured, and placed in confinement. [From the Dublin Irishman, Aug.

Insurrection in India. —Two hun dred thousand men of the hardy hill tribes are up in arms against English rule in India. Very few details have yet arrived, but these tew are ominous in their nature. Another “little war,” as the London pr ess terms it, Ins manifestly begun ; and the Duke of Wellington looked upon “little wars” as the most disastrous kind of warfare possible. Millions were expended on the Abys sinian campaign ; millions were cast after millions, and all because of the effect it would cause, and the prestige it would give to British rule in India. And now two hundred thousand hill men—two hundred thousand of the hardiest and most obstinate of the tribes have raised the Flag of Revolt, amongst their almost inaccessible hills, at Jeon gururjh. “Casta spark amongst tinder,” exclaims a London paper, “and the flame will spread.” The whole neighborhood is up in arms, and the English complain they cannot get more rlian five years’ rest at a time. The English garrisons about were, in comparison, miserably small, counting but a few hundreds, mostly, too, of native troops. Mounted messengers are hurry mg to and fro— telegrams are flashing along* too humming wires. ‘‘ Mor « ‘"ops from ' Madras”—the Madras Government is up and alive to the peril. "More troops from England” —that is evidently the cry, also. ° From Gravesend the St. Lawrence has gone with a number of men and officeis on board; others, we may be sure, shall follow in greater numbers. For Russia is hovering over the borders of India, and it is of life and death necessity to prove to Russia that this Revolt can be put down—more especially if Russia is stirring it up. Does Russia instigate it ? The immediate cause is. said to be something in connection with taxation ; the hill-tribes object to it with the un adorned eloquence of 200,000 armed men! The Celt in Mourning.— Following still the example of our great prototypes, the Nation and the Irishman, we pre sent our readers with the Celt draped in mourning for its Editor and for the Rev. Father Larkin, who are still in jail. Much has been said and written about the Dublin trials—about Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Pigott—but we think the most re markable feature in connection with Irish national awakenings in these modern times is the fact, that, at the uttermost limits of the earth, at the very antipodes of Ireland, a Catholic Priest and an Irish Editor are here, in Hokitika, in the remotest Island of the Globe, un dergoing a sentence of imprisonment for the old, the very old, cause of Irish nationality. It is a remarkable event in the history of this Southern Hemisphere —an event, which, when Ireland shall have won its own, will be remembered in history as one not the least extraordinary in connection with the universal awaken ing of Irish nationality. —New Zealand Celt. Trial for Cannibalism.— There has been trial for cannibalism in Algeria with a curious result. The counsel for the prisoner, in defending his client, read a letter from Marshal M’Mahon to the Archbishop of Algiers, in which the Gov ernor General pronounced an opinion, greatly controverted, it will be remem bered, by the Bishop, that all the cases of anthropophagy which had occurred in the colony were attributable to certain circumstances which generated mental aberration. “My client, therefore,” said the counsel, “ is mad, on the authority of the Duke ot Magenta.” The jury adopted an argument coming from such high au thority, and acquitted the man-eater. Mission at Roscrea. —No misison could exceed jn success that of the Holy Fathers at Roscrea. Their sacred influences uot being confined to the Parish, as at Nenagh. Roscrea is thronged from a radius of twilvc miles around; and yet the greatest order prevails among the multitudes. The devotional silence preserved by the passing and repassing crowds iu the streets, to and from the house of God, strikes the casual spectator with sur prise. The poor peasant, meditating on the Divine mysteries of his Holy Reli gion, feels a joyful elevation of soul un known to throned monarchs. Our brother Protestants look on with amazement at such an unusual but edifying spectacle ; they praise, but they cannot comprehend the marvelous change. Those who pray much will have much to give thanks for. Tipperary a?ul Glare Independent . Burning of Mr. Gladstone in Effigy. —A correspondent informs us that, on Sabbath evening last (the 19th ult.,) the Orangemen of Coal Island, Killy man, Stoughan, and Newmills, assembled near the last named place, and burned Mr. Gladstone in effigy. The effigy was got up in the most ridiculous costume —the prevailing color being green ; and, hav ing been placed on a low wall, was shot at, and afterwards burned, amid great groaning.— Northern Whig. Tiie Case of Mr. Richard Pigott. —The following paragraph appears in the Keening Post , Thursday : A memorial has been forwarded to the Earl of Mayo, praying the release of Mr. Richard Pigott, ot the Irishman newspaper. Mr. Pigott’s father is now in a precarious state of health, and his death is considered imminent. Dr. Lyons has given a certificate to this effect, which has been attached to the memorial. No reply has as yet been received. [lt is too true that Mr. Pigott’s father, depressed by the imprisonment and ex ceptional treatment of his son, has fallen into so critical a state as to cause his medical adviser to express his alarm in sadly emphatic terms. But no memorial has proceeded from Mr. Pigott, nor from any member of his family.]— lrishman. 7
