The editoral department will be conduct ed as heretotore, with dignified moderation, but at the same time, with vigorous and earnest devotion to the interests of our sec tion, a.id to the principles of the National Democratic Party.

T'”om the Foreatanil Stream. That thqreis a power of xascinatinn, charming, perltaps mesmerism, pos sessed by snakes is to me a fact, al though it is a snake story, still I write what I know. Snakes cun charm—they can fasci nate ; of that 1 have had experience At tlm ge of about eighteen, in the •own of Lynne, Ccnneticur, where I was brought up, my father had a shad fishery on the Connetieut river. One morningm April I was sent to carry fish to my sister, about two miles distant. Part of the way there I took a wood road through a rocky and bushy place, where the timber had been cut. Carrying the fish on a little stick on my shoulder, my at tention was arrested by hearing a rattling in the dry leaves a rod or more from mo. Stopping, I looked and saw a large black snake, (Coluber constrictor) five or six feet in length. Some two or three inches of the tail was in rapid vibration or quivering, which made the noise by rattling in dry ieavos. I had 6een small striped snakes do something like it. I stood arid looked at i* with my stick on my shouldor, not conscious efany danger, having seen and killed of such snakes perhaps hundreds. In a few mo ments the vtorafion was so rapid that I could only sen it without any form. It was like a 6plint or straw in a strong wind, fastened at one end, so rapid was its motion. Soon after looking at it the vibrating portion be gan to show all the prismatic colors with such beauty of combination that no language can describe it. Seem ingly, they went through a million of combinations and mingling of colors, changes and re-combinations with every tint of shade, instantly. I stood enchanted at the most beautiful sight I ever behold, unconscious of danger ! Did I say enchanted? Charmed fas cinated ! There I stood lost in ecstacy, with out ir.ution how long I do not know. My eyes at first seemed a tittle blur ed or dimmed, Thore was a pleasant dizzy sensation to my forehead. Ttio fits: I knew I felt myself falling: to (he ground. The partial fall frightened me, and saving the fall it turned my eyes from the snake. I felt dizzy, eyes blurred, muscle and nerves unsteady. In n.y fright at my condition 1 went for that snake with my staff. llj stood ground, and rais ed two feet or more at me with forked tongue. I struck without hitting, sev eral times. The snake ran, stopped, raised up at me again. I made sev eral strokes, but could rot hit him, although he raised right up in front of me. He ran again, and raised his head with forked tongue almost in my taco. At last, the third attack I hit him, and than killed him. Bifore j geftiug through the woods I heard ano .her rattling oi leaves, but I did not look up. 1 made experiments with four oth ers of the same kind ot snakes the; same sum Bier —none less than fi.e to six feet in length, I had learned to look only a few moments at a time after the first adventure. As soon as the prismatic colors began to appear! beautiful 1 turned my eyes. The last I one attempted to charm me, I called | two of nty brothers who were near. 1 YVe all witnessed the snake’s mode, j one at a time. To first nrrest the eye they raitle'the leaves to make a noise You tun* and look, and instantly the tail begins a rapid vibration, that de stroys distinct appearanceof Bny f'otm. Soon the colors begin to appear and commingle so beautifully that you have no desire to look away or turn your eyes. The longer ycu look tho more beautiful they becom*-, and tho more you desire to look at them. YVe I looked at the snake alternately, and then would turn eacU othor away ! YVhen we all looked away he stopped, j Let any of us move, he rattled the : leaves; if we looked at him, he he- j gan to charm till we looked off. He knew'instantly when we turned our eyes from him. Our experiment continued half an , hour, until we were well and fully satisfied of snake s power to fascinate, and their mode. I have tried to give as clear nn idea of the fact as I can. But no description can be given to Lejeomprehended—it must be seen |rtie mode I give, the tail is used, and not the eyes. From the Mobile Register. The writer of the foregoing article DAW SOX, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER o. 1878. has, in all probability, drawn upon his own imagination with a somewhat liberal baud, yet we must own up that wo are by no means prepared to take the position that snakes have net the power of exercising the effects of vital magnetism upon the smaller ani mal’s atlea-t. Many prominent scien tific men have gone strongly against any such notion, and we cheerfully swallowed everything they said in that direction until some seven ago, when we saw something that rather shook our faith despite all that we had adopted from the scientists. — On passing through a lane iu the northern portion of Mobile county our attention was attracted to a large coach-whip snake lying between the rails of the fence and flopping about in an unaccountable manner. Pretty soon we discovered that a large rat was in some way mixed up in the per formance. As we drew nearer the better to observe what was going on, the snake took fright and ran off to another location some fifty feet away, aud to our surprise the rat followed at a kind of shambling gait, making all the time a strange sort of chirping noise and apparently tracking the route the snake had taken by the sense of smell alone, as a dog tracks a deer. So soon as the rat Lad found the snake in its new location it leaped upon it and rolled about over it in a fondling kind of way, exhibiting not the slightest warlike disposition, nor did the snake exhibit any disposition to harm the rat. VVe watched this strange perfor mance for fully fifteen minutes, when the snaka took new fright at our ef forts to get nearer and ran entirely away. The rat attempted to loliow the trail as before, but soon lost it, after which it went chirping about here and there apparently in tha greatest distress. It seemed to be entirely crazed, taking not the slight est notice of us —we walked up to it and killed it with our cane. Tiis is all we know on the subject. While we do not pretend to hold that the snake in this case magnetized the rat, wo can safely assure all con cerned that tliore was something bore which we could not at all understand. The Editor. Exchange: Amidst the varied av ocations of life none perhaps hear a weightier respcnsibiliry than that of tbo editor. If he feels the impor tance of hi t position and has regard for the future welfare of hia country, and the hapinss of his countrymen it h realizes the ftet that error must necessarily lead to cortuption, while truth will pmify, uplift set free and make strong, the tone and temper of I)is teaching must necessarily be resolute, positive, and bold. Pander ing to vices and catering to prejudices, to tbe neglect or sacrifice of princi pel, is not to be thought of for a mo ment Neutrality upon living issues wherein his reader’s interest aro at stake, to him, would seem the gross est of moral cowardice. If ho is worthy of responsible trust, he will patiently ami heroica'y cleave to and inculcate such principles, as in his very soul, he believes to be for the lasting good of his readers. That all will at once appreciate the devotion of such -one, it would De unreasonable to expect. But that the great mas 9 of those for whom be writes will feej tho impress of his teaching, none can doubt. Mark This, Boys. “Did you ever kuow a man who j grew rich, by lraud, continue success ful through life, and leave a fortune at death ?” This question was put to a gentle man who had been in business forty years. After teflecting a while he re plied : “Not one. I have seen many men become rich as if by magis, and win golden opinions, when 60me little things led to an exposure of their fraud and they have fallen into dis graco and ruin. Arson,perjuty rnut der and suicide are common crimes with those who make haste to get rich, regardless of the means. Boys stick a pin here. You will 60on be men and begin to act like those who make money.
