ran in the interests of merchants. Of course
such a line, restricted to few important
points, will be of no great use in the way
of general intelligence; but it can be built
and run In its own department so cheaply
as to beggar all competition. It will take
the cream of the telegraphic busiuess, at
a fortieth part of the expense of tlio great
consolidation, and leave it to connect «he
out-posts of civilization, at infinite dis
tances and with no corresponding business
income. -
■ Can anybody tell us how this kind of
competition is to be successfully met? A
line of wire from Boston to Chicago-will
cost little more than a line of the same
length across the great American desert,
which any national combination must
build, if it attempts to connect the Pacific
with the Atlantic coast. Frontier tele
graph lines, which bring occasional intel
ligence of an Indian scalping raid or a
Texas or New Mexican mail robbory, are
bad investments, though they may be
very important to government audthena-
tional Welfare, and are oblig fl d to form a
part of auy national system of telegraphic
communication.
But how can they be kept up if inde
pendent companies come in and skim all
{laving business off the pot by building
lines botwe *n large business points only,
and ignoring every foot oi space which
will not pay heavily. Their capital stock
expenditure amounts to little or nothing.
Their operating expenses aro confined to
distances and lines which, afford a great
deal of busiuess, burdened with tho least
possible expense, and with such a general
arrangement they will be ready to do
busiuess at_anccessary expense amount
ing to nothing in comparison with that of
a continental system, which must connect
sections and distances with small regard
to their paying capacity.
Hence this new contrivance,while it will
be of no use in spreading general intelli
gence, must be fatal to any general system
wliicji can auswer that end. Tho West
ern Union consolidation will have a hard
time working up dividends on eighty mil
lions ofstock, ifitliasto meet this kind
of competition. . , .

irtles frequently sold at iiaif the valne

tion cannot be attributed to foreigu com
petition, as the importation of com and

due to tbe scarcity of cash, •

a cracked wheel which threw two stock
cars, loaded with mulej, from tbe track.
One Of the car? rolled over a glean eg-
baukment into a deep ravine, and of tbe
twenty-three mules it contained, twenty-
two were killed outright. None of the
train hands ware Injured. Tho wreck
was soon cloared, and caused no delay to

MoCub aud Mas. Sprague.—
A Providence, Rhode Island dispatchsays:
“Mrs. Elizabeth McCue, the domestic em

whom Mrs. Sprague accused her husband
of being intimate In her proceedings lor
divorce, recently received a letter from
Winchester Britton, Mrs. Sprague’s law
yer, saying that he and Mrs. Sprague
would apologize it they bad made a false
charge against Mrs. McCne. Mrs. McCue
has sent a reply, in which she says: “The
charges against me are the most outrage
ous lies that ever were told, and, as sure
as there is a God in heaven, Mrs. Sprague
will have to answer for them.’ ”
Wet Cotton Fields.—Tlio New Or
leans Democrat says for the past two
mouths the section of Louisiana and Mis
sissippi of which Vicksburg is tbe center
can make as wet a showing as any coun
try in the world, not even excepting the
torrid zone, during tlio rainy season. In
November it rained 17 and was dry only
18 days, and in December there were 20 dry
to 11 rainy days; a total for the two months
of S3 wet to 34 dry days.. The rainfall
tor November'.was 14.15 Inches; that for
December has not yet been determined,
Jh It will be nearly as great. The total
TOinfalt for tho two months will certainly
exceo.1 25 inches, which is above the aver
age of the country for tbe entire year. (A
groat mistake.) And this explains why
so much cotton is yet in the fields, and
why what has been picked is rotten and

Conouestof Peru.
The telegraphic accounts from South
America to-day leave little or no doubt
that Peru is virtually at tho mercy of the
invading Chilians, who have captured all
important points in that country, even the
cities of Lima aud Calao,and really and
substantially hold tho Peruvians defense
less. The suceess of the Chilians in this
war is inexplicable. Peru has a consider
able excess in population over Chili, and
much greater wealth. The city of Lima
was defended by a force of 42,000 against
27,000 men; but it is captured,apparently
with ease. Why the Chilians should be
better soldiers is not clear, for both nations
spring from tbe same stock. But, never-
tlieless, the numerically weaker power has
maiutained an uninterrupted career of
victory—not only over Peru alone, but
Peru and her Argentine ally. Botii
together have been unable to mako one
successful stand against the Chilians, and
country conquered is, as it appears to us,
without historic parallel; aud is unac
countable upon any other hypothesis than
Peruvian imbecility. Tho career of the
Chilians, as conquerors, has been barbar
ous in tbe extreme. They have plundered t
robbed, devastated and murdered as they
advauced into the country, and eveiy mo
tive has been addressed to the Peruvians
to inspire a desperate defense, but in vain.
The result will always bo a historic
marvel.

A Campaizn Against Sitting BulL
According to the Herald of Thursday,
an expedition against Sitting Bull was
started from Assluiboin, in Montana Ter
ritory, on the 14th Inst., under the com
mand of Captain R. s. Morris, with 218
men and fourteen officers, to co-operate
with Major llges, with seven companies
of infantry, on an expedition against Sit
ting Ball, then camped at the month of
Milk river, and force him to a fight or
surrender. Sitting Bull has been reported
pn the road to surrender for several weeks,
but tbe department is weary of waiting
bis approach and distrusts his sincerity.
He has with him about a thousand Sioux
Indians. Captain ilop'is’ command
Started from Assinibota with tlio nlSrctir?
at twelve degrees below zero. Each sol
dier was supplied with a buffalo overcoat,
fur cap, gloves and Arcticoverahoes. The
men have Sibley tents and stoves and
plenty of blankets. Each soldier carried a
few rounds of ammunition in his belt, and
250 rounds per man are in the wagons, in
case it should be needed. One Uattling
gun and one three-inch shell gun accom
pany the column, well supplied with
ammunition. Twenty-four mule teams
carry rations and half forage for the com
mand npto February 5th, ami another
supply train follows with additional sup
plies. Two white scouts and twenty
irieuulj Indian scouts accompany the
column.
Oatmeal.
The use of oatmeal as an article of diet
in this country is rapidly extending, and
though it reqnires some time to acquire a
taste for it, yet In almost every instauco
be who learns to eat this invigorating food
will never abandon its use. An exchange
says:
Oatmeal, now found on almost every
gentleman’s table, was a few years ago
used exclusively by tbe Scotch and Irish.
Ur. Johnson, who, in his hatred of tbe
Scotch, lost no opportunity of saying a
bitter word against them, defined oats as
in Scotland food for Scotchmen, but in
Englaud food for horses. “Yes,” an
swered an Indignant Scotchman, “where
can you find such men as in Scotland, or
such horses as in England?” We havo
heard of a shrewd old Scotch mother,
who used to mako her family eat their
eatmeal first, saying, “Tbe bairn
who eats the most porritch will get the
most meat after it.” But the bairn
who gained tho prize • always
found himselftoo full to enjoy the meat, it
is mentioned in a most charming book,
‘The Life and Letters of Lord Macau
lay,” that Carlyle, catching sight of Ma
caulay’s face in repose, remarked: “Well,
any one can see that you are an honest,
good sort of a fellow, made out of oat
meal.” If oatmeal can make
such men as as Walter Scott, Dr. Chal-
mcn and Lord Macaulay, we may well
heap b’gh the porritch dish, and bribe our
children to eat it. One thing that we do
know,that it is far better for the blood and
brain than cake, confectionery, and the
score of delicacies on which many pale
little pets are fed by their foolishly fond
mothers. “The Queen’s Own,” a regiment
of almost giants, recruited from the Scot
tish Highlands, are, as Carlyle said of
Macaulay, “made ot oatmeal.” So boys
who want height aud breadth and mus
cle, aud girls who want rosy cheeks and
physical vigor, should turn from hot
bread and other indlgeatibles to this food
tor Sc-dchmen and bones.
What the North Thinks of the
South.
In Scribner's Monthly for December,
there appears a most remarkable edito
rial; which is a perfect melange of facts
and falsehoods, and though it would ap
pear intended to be fair and honest, is yet
calculated to do much harm. ;
From the standpoint of false premises,
which are infamously unjust, the writer
yet produces opposite and counteracting
testimony to the positions laid down,
which will bo specially edifying to tbe
country at this particular juncture. Hear
wbat lie says:
Our Northern people have a groat deal
of impatience with the manner In which
the Southerner treats tlio negro, and ail
those who teach or especially befriend
him. They caunot appreciate, or admit
the fact, that the Southerner can bo con
scientious In his treatment, and that lie
may honestly and earnestly, bolievo that
he is doing God and his country good
service lu keeping the negro from his
vole, and even hull-dozing or shooting
him to secure that cud. We know South
ern men who stand well in tlio church
hare said, with all heartiness and with
out any apparent question of conscience,
that it is bolter that a uegro should be
killed than that he should be permit
ted tp vote.(?) That multitudes ot them
have been killed in order to keep them,
and scare others from the polls, seoms to
be a notorious fact, that is testified to by
innumerable living witnesses. To attri
bute this awful outrage exclusively to in
humanity, brutality and blood-thirstiness,
is to fail utterly to appreciate the situa
tion. The Southerner is tremendously in
earnest in his hatred of tha North and its
ideas, and his belief that to proscribe tbe
negro is to save Southern society from the
greatest peril that can befall it. Love of
home, of children, of posterity even, Is
one of tho most powerful, motives in the
perpetration of wrongs upon the black
race, which fill the Northern mind with
horror and indiguation.
There is just a sufficient modicum of
truth in tha above extraordinary deliver-
auce to mislead and distract the public
mind. While the writer is correct in his
position that many of our citizens regard
it as a great calamity that the ballot
should be accorded to the untutored freed-
meu, yet tho monstrous assertion that
men who stand high in the church be
lieve “that it is better that a negro should
bo killed than that ho should be perrnit-
ed to vote,” is a vile fabrication utterly
destitute of foundation.
The negro is not only allowed tp vote,
but as an important factor in politics his
taxes, in thousands of instances, are paid
by his while friends to enable him to ex
ercise that privilege. True, in most in
stances, this is done by interested parties
who may he running for the Legislature
or for some office of trust and profit; but
still the fact remains the same, aud the
ebon son of Africa, while depositing Ills
vote for tho man who seeks to be elected
sheriff or ordinary, and has paid his poll
tax, at tho samo time i3 free to cast his
ballot for any other official from President
of the United States to coroner. There is
no “inhumanity, brutality and blood
thirstiness” whatever connected with the
affair, and we arc only surprised that the
intelligent editor of Scribner should yield
even a quasi assent to such miserable
fabrications.
Our author, however, with commenda
ble candor and fairness, gives the other
side of the question in the following appo
site illustration, which we condense as
fallows:
a school at Canterbury Green, Connecti
cut. Her seminary was popular, and
numbered many pupils even from distant
States. Among thorn was one, a colored
girl, whom tho irate villagers demanded
should be forthwith expelled. Tlio plucky
Miss Crandall, however, defied her patrons
aud advertised her establishment
boarding school for “young ladies and
misses of color.” Tbe people were indig
nant, and called a town meeting “to de
vise and adopt such measures as would
effectually avert the nuisance or speedily
abate It.” Still Miss Crandall stood her
ground, and in 18^5 opened her school,
against tho protest of the indignant pop
ulace.
Again, the excited citizens assembled
in town meeting and resolved, “that the
establishment or rendezvouir falsely de
nominated a school, was designed by its
projectors as the theatre to promulgate
their disgusting doctrines of amalgama
tion, aud their pernicious sentiments of
dissolving the Union. Tiiese pupils were
to have been congregated here from all
quarters, under tho false pretense of edy-
catmg them, but really to scatter* fire
brands, arrows and death among brethren
of our nw:i blond.”
After this, the little woman was effectu
ally tabooed. Merchants refused to sell
her their wares, stage driven to carry lie?
pupils, and neighbors to permit hor to
draw water from their wells.. Nay, their
opposition was carried to the extent of
pelting tbe mongrel establishment with
stones and rotten eggs. . Tho legislature
was appealed te, and astringent act passed
to meet the requirements of the case,
which was received “with pealing bells
and booming cannon.” Under this special
legislation the Quaker father of Miss Cran
dall was duly notified as follows: *
“If you go to your daughter’s, yon are to
bo fined $100 for tbe first offense, $200 for
the second, and double itevery time. Mrs,
Crandall, if you go there, you will bo
fined, and your daughter Almira will bo
fined. • • • And your daughter, the one
that lias established the school for colored
females, will be taken up the same as for
stealing a horse, or for burglary. Her
property will not be taken, but sbe will
be put iu jail, not having the liberty of the
yard. There is no mercy to be shown
about it.”
Such was the persecution extended by
the good citizens “of the land of steady
habits” In those days, to a poor, frail
woman, for the heinous offence of teach
ing a few harmless colored girls to read,
No such parallel has ever been witnessed
at the South. Per contra, the writer of
this article had several servants who were
taught to read on the plantation and, when
a lad, himself indoctrinated the body ser
vant of a neighbor iu old Sunbnry into the
mysteries of the alphabet and primer.
Moreover, we wot of a distinguished
prolessor in the Theological Seminary at
Columbia, South Carolina, whose aged
majordomo, “Jack," was regularly In the
habit of reading bis testament eveiy nigbt
at the same table in tbe library where his
young masters, students of the University
of Carolina in its palrnie3t days, conned
their lessons. , [<»- -
Old Jack has long since been “gathered
to bis fathers,” and that able and devoted
minister of God erected a neat monument
to his memory in'the colored cemetery at
Columbia, where he sleeps that sleep that
knows ho awakening.
Why, however, recall isolated instances,
where so many exist to show that the best
and noblest sons of the South thought it
no crime or disgrace to teach their fattbftal
| bondmen the Scriptures orally, and oven,
under certain circumstances,to read them,. T.iaf Wnat’k CflttBn XlffOTCf,
The law on tjie subject was. virtually a
dead letter. ' ^ , . —
On many plantations on the seaesast of
Georgia, neat chapels wore erected for re
ligions worship, where either the owner
of some colored minister or layman con
ducted prayers from night to night. It
was tne custom, also, onSabbath cvetiings,
for the mistress of tho household te as
semble tbe little negroes for catechetical
instruction, iu which her own children
participated and were taught out of the
samo book.

Ex-President Davis at Seawroir.
His Forthcoming Book.
Tho New Orleans correspondent of the
New kork Herald has given a deeply in
teresting account of a recent visit to tile
tornKr great head of the brilliant, but
short-lived, Southern Confederacy, Jeffer
son Davis; in his retirement at Beauvoir.
Preliminary to his introduction of the
reader to this famous patriot and states
man, whose career tills so largo a space in
the seventh decade of American history in
the'nineteenth century, the writer gives ns
the following personal episode:
It is known to his friends that Mr.
Davis has been very poor since 1870.
Some years ago, I learn upon the very
bc3t authority, it came to the knowledge
of.Gov. Colquitt, of Georgia, that the ex-
Tu first turnpike, ever made In the
United States Was that constructed be
tween Philadelphia and Lancaster city In
lfO‘-\ costing $500,000, a fabulously largo
ftm ln those days of severe economy.

Mackay, the Nevada Croesus, has invested
$100,000 in English aud French blooded
horses, wbieh he proposes to utilize in im
proving the stock ot California. He owns

nia, on which he. proposes to make his per

of the reader. It says the business is
growing more and more imposing from
year to year, and steam will soon have
driven tbe sail ship from the seas. John
Bull is evidently making arrangements to
permanently retain the carrying trade of
the Atlantic, in which endeavor, we may
be permitted to observe,he could have no
more effective aid than is afforded him by
such of our people as continue to resist ail
attempts to amend our navigation laws so
as to give the American flag once more a
chance. The truth is—and it cannot be
repeated too often—if the British Parlia
ment wanted to frame a body ot laws cal
culated to give English shipping a mo
nopoly ef the seas as against the American
bottoms, they could not well improve
upon our existing navigation act. It suits
them exactly. This is true also of the ab
surd pud unequal tariff of protection
which curses the country.
A Flourishing University.—The
graduating class of 1831 Is so large, says a
Raleigh correspondent irom Chapel Hill,
N. C., that tbe faculty concluded that it
was best tiiat all should not speak, and
authorized Che class to elect the twelve
best speakers, and in accordance with this
instruction the following gentlemen were
selected to represent the oratorical abili
ties of the class at tbe commencement:

of England, were regularly Incorporated

independence bad been acknowledged by
tbe mother country, without reservation
and with every guarantee accorded that

Iu the system of “checks” that was de
vised for tbe protection of the weaker
members of the inchoate republic, that of
equal representation in one co-ordinate
branch of tbe government was the most
prominent, and its importance cannot bo
overestimated. Our New York contem-
pory should remember also that in the
House of Representatives, which voices
tho will of the people, his State is far
more potential than any other. Hence
the word “empire” which is always used
in connection with it.
We trust the day Is far distant in tlie
administration of this government, which
was founded upon a compact made, be
tween free and equal commonwealths,
when “might” shell usurp tbe place of
