Financial.
The billowing interesting items are taken from
the records of the Treasury Department: The
United States Treasurer has ordered the issue of
$886,000 in fractional currency to the National
Banks in the South. There are 1,G50 such cor
porations, wiili :m aggregate capital of $414,021,-
470, circulation $209,048,205. The circulation is
secured hy bonds, worth $o21,408,0o0. The re
ceipts from internal revenue since June 30th,
1805, amount to nearly $800,000,000.
Connected somewhat with the foregoing wc
notice fears expressed in some of the Northern
journals of a collapse in financial allairs North.
Similar fears appear to prevail in England. A
London correspondent of the New York News
sa^s:
In commercial circles there has been a shock
in consequence of the stoppage of the Barned’s
bttnk—Liverpool and Manchester. The hank
became a joint slock company about a year ago.
Its nominal was £2,(HR),000, and its paid up capi
tal was £400,000. The cause of the stoppage
was heavy advances to cotton and iron specula
tors, hut principally to cotton speculators.
The actual position is not yet known ; but it
is said that the losses in the year will exceed
£500,000. No huge financial companies break
ing. In order to make large profits, they en
counter the most formidable risks. A hanker is
more careful in his speculation, because he has
to deal with other people’s money. If he wins,
begets the credit; and if he looses, others have
to suffer.
Kulghtu of tlie Itoad.
A bold operation took place about a mile out
on the I'cach-Tree road on Saturday. A two-
horse Government wagon had been sent to the
freediueu’s camp to convey rations, and was re
turning to the city empty. AY hen it had reached
the corporate limits, or thereabouts, two men
armed with Colt’s repeaters stepped from the
bushes and demanded the driver to halt, at the
same lime presenting the pistols to his head, with
the modest request that he would deliver over
“ those horses." The party having in charge the
wagon being unarmed, no resistance was made,
when the two highwaymen quietly unloosed the
harness, mounted the horses, and galloped oft in
regular “ l)iek Turpin ” style. The transaction
took place in broad daylight. No suspicion is
attached to any one in particular. The perpe
trators are supposed to belong to a regular organi
zed baud of horse thieves known to he prowling
around the country adjacent to this city, and
doubtess a part of the same gang who commit
ted the outrage upon the premises of Col. Bcnteen
on Sunday night.

A Mj Merlon* Cane—A Young and Beauti
ful Woman Found Dead In her Bed.
Yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Anna Zeariug, the
young and beautiful wife of Judge William
Zeariug, of Princeton, 111., a lady well known
in Chicago, was found dead in her room at the
Briggs House. A bottle of chloroform, held in
such a manner that even her last breath must-
have been freighted with its deadly aroma, told
plainly enough how she had passed from life to
death," but the why was shrouded in a mystery
too deep and impenetrable for a Coroner’s in
quest.
There are two theories extant iu regard to this
event, between which we, as a journalist, cannot,
and would not if we could, pretend to decide.
One is that it was-the result of accident, the
other that it was a suicide. Both of these con
clusions are sharply criticised and warmly com
mented upon, in circles where the deceased was
known.
In support of the theory of accidental death
wc havethe argument that the deceased had been
in the habit ot using chloroform as a cure or
antidote for head-ache. The testimony of a
servant at the Briggs House serves to substanti
ate the accidental""death theory to the extent that,
yesterday morning, Mrs. Zeariug complained of
a severe headache, and did not wish the servant
to preform her accustomed work in her room.
This theory was accepted by the coroner’s jury,
who returned a verdict of accidental death.
Those who dispute the above theory and argue
that it was a deliberate cause ot suicide, are
among the most intimate acquaintances of the
deceased. These assert that Mrs. Zearing was
most unhappy in her marriage relations; that
the match was so distasteful to her, that a short
time before the time fixed for her marriage with
Judge Zearing, two years ago, she ran away in
sheer desperation, but subsequently returned
and married rather than face the alternative
presented by a cold and friendless world. In
short, it is asserted that her life before and since
her marriage has been wearisome and wretched.
She has lived very iitile with lier husband, and
was not living with him at the time of her death.

A Murder at Gordon.—\Ye learn that Air.
Joseph H. Jones, of Gordon, Wilkinson county,
was murdered on last Saturday night, by a Air.
(.'room, who shot him through the head and body.
The occurrence took place near Gordon. After
killing Air. Jones, the murderer, Crooms, carried
the body a short distance from where the crime
was committed and buried it, leaving one of the
arms of his victim protruding from the ground,
where he was found the next day. Air. Jones
was on a visit to a mill he Inis in the vicinity of
Gordon, and after remaining there some time,
lie stepped over to a house in the immediate
neighborhood, where the sister-in-law of Croorns
lived, and it was while there that lie was mur
dered. Grooms is under arrest at Gordon, as is
also his sister-in-law and a negro girl, who are
detained as witnesses. There are so many con
flicting stories as to the cause of the murder,
that we forbear giving what we have heard until
Hie case has undergone an investigation.
Air. Jones was well beloved hy the poor in his
neighborhood, as he was very kind to them dur-
ing the war, in furnishing them with foot! when
they were in want. His untimely end will he
deeply felt hy them.—M icon Journal d Messen

THE two Hebrew congregations of Charleston,
S. Grafter a separation of a quarter of a century,
have re-united.
Renolutlou* of the Kentucky Democratic
Convention.
The Democratic Convention w hich recently
assembled in Louisville, Kentucky, is represented
as being as large and talented a body, as ever as
sembled in that city. The following are the pre
amble and resolutions adopted on that occasion:
1. A\ it ere as, In all the republics, after tlie
convulsions of revolution, when the storm of
passion lias subsided, and reason has been allow
ed again to give utterance to the words of iuimi
table truth and justice, it has been deemed pro-
proper to pause and assert the true principles of
government Now, therefore, the Democracy of
Kentucky, in Convention assembled, do solemn
ly declare that this Convention dntli unequivo
cally express a firm resolution to maintain and
defend the Constitution of the United States, and
the Constitution of this State, against every ag
gression, either foreign or domestic, and that the
people of this State will support the Government
of the United Stales in all measures w arranted
and sanctioned by the Constitution of tlie United
States.
2. We most solemnly declare a warm attach
meut to the Union of the States, under andjnir
su&nt to the Constitution, by tlie adoption of
which the Union w as effected, and we know of
no Iw-tter or more effectual w ay of maintaining
and {u-rpetuating the Union, than by upholding
and detending the Constitution, Wliicli is the
bond of Union, hy a lailhtul observance of the
principles upon which the Union is based, and
hy the cultivation of a feeling of friendship and
justice towards the citizens or our sister States.
Wc declare that the Federal Government is
one of limited and restricted powers, and that it
has no authority whatever to excercise any pow
ers not specifically enumerated and authorized
by the Constitution, and such implied powers as
are pertinent and necessary to carry out in good
faith the express powers, and that the powers
not delegated to tlie United States hy the Con
8titution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are
reserved to the Slates respectively,or to the peo
pie, and the exercise of any power by the Fede
ral Government or by any of its departments,
w hich has not been expressly delegated in the
Constitution, is a usurpation dangerous to the
liberties of tlie people, destructive to our theory
of Government, and an invasion of the rights of
the Stall's and of the people thereof.
4. We declare that we believe that tlie Federal
Government is as much and as firmly hound to
respect and obey tlie mandates of the Constitu
tion as tlie Stales themselves, and that when it
violates and tramples on its plain provisions and
assumes (lowers not delegated or expressly w ith
held, it is itself in rebellion against the Constitu
tion, and that it lias no right to make ils unre
strained w ill the supreme law of the laud.
5. We most solemnly declare that Congress
has no right to deprive any State in this Union
of its representation in that body; and that it is
a right and privilege expressly guaranteed to ev
ery Suite hy the ConstitutionTtself. Tlie Const!
tut ion expressly declares that the House of Re
presentatives shall lie composed of members
chosen every second year hy the people ot the
several States; that each Stale shall have at least
one Representative; and that no State, without
its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage
in the Senate. Any attempt to deprive the States
of this right is a palpable and flagrant violation
of the Federal compact. Against all such action
we enter our solemn protest, and denounce the
Radical majority in Congress as false and recre
ant to the Constitution, as men who have re
solved either to humiliate and degrade the peo
ple of one section of the country, and make vas
sals of its citizens, or to destroy the Union of
the States. At the commencement of our late
and unhappy civil war, in doing wliat are know r n
as the Crittenden resolutions, Congress solemnly
proclaimed to the world, “ that this war is not
waged on our part in any spirit of oppression,
nor for any purpose of overthrowing or interfer
ing with the rights or established institutions of
the States; hut to defend and maintain the su
premacy ol the Constitution, and to preserverihe
Union with all tlie dignity, equality and rights
of the several States unimpaired, and that so
soon as these objects are accomplished, the war
ought to cease.” The w T ar is now over, the au
thority of the Federal Government is fuily and
completely restored throughout the entire limits
of the republic, and we declare that honor, truth,
justice, as well as the nation’s faith, pledged in
its darkest hours of trial, as well as the require
ments and obligations of the Federal Constitu
tion, all alike demand that the Representatives
and Senators from Rie Southern States should he
admitted to their seats in the Congress of the
United States.
0. We declare that the Federal Government
lias no right whatever to abridge or interfere with
the freedom of speech, or the press; that all men
have a natural and indefeasible right to worship
Almighty God according to tlie dictates of their
own consciences; that these rights are expressly
guaranteed and protected hy the Constitution it
self, and that their suppression is the destruction
of every principle of Constitutional liberty ; that
our Government derives all its powers from the
people, and that our officers from the President
down are the agents ami servants of tlie people
and not their masters. That the people have an
undoubted and unquestioned right to assemble
and to discuss all public affairs, to applaud or
condemn as they may see proper the actions and
conduct of all public officers of the Government,
and to elect others in their places when they are
false to their trusts, or whenever they may deem
it proper and expedient to do so.
7. We declare that tlie Federal Government
lms no right whatever to try civilians hy Alilitary
Commissions and drum-head Court Abuttals.—
The Constitution expressly says: “No person
shall he held to answer for a capital or otherwise
infamous crime, unless on a presentment or in
dictment of a Grand Jury; except in eases arising
in the land or naval forces, or in the militia when
in actual service in time of war or public danger.”
These Constitutional provisions are plain; they
cannot he misunderstood, and were intended to
protect the citizen. To allow Alilitary Commis
sions ami drum-head Court Martials to supercede
our courts of justice, would utterly destroy our
form ot government, and turn it into a despotism
more fearful than that of either Austria or Rus
sia. Tlie life of no citizen would be secure and
we would be driven into revolution or he forced
to give up and surrender our liberties.
8. We declare that the question of suffrage is
one which belongs exelusiuely to the people of
tlie several States, and we regard it as one of the
most flagrant outrages that was ever perpetrated
against the Constitution, that the Radical ma
jority iu Congress should assume the power to
deprive the Southern States of representation
unless they should consent to place the negroes
upon an equality with the white race and give
them the privilege of voting. We most earnestly
protest against this usurpation of power, and
trust that our sister States will never consent
to accept such humiliating and degrading coudi-
ions.
9. We declare that, although we do not be
lieve that tlie Federal Government had any Con
stitutional right to intermeddle with the domes
tic institutions of our Suite, and whilst we pro
test against their action upon this subject, yet
we are forced by circumstances over which we
have no control, to recognize tlie abolition of
slavery as an accomplished fact, hut we most
earnestly assert that Kentucky lias the right to
regulate" the political status of the negro race
within her territory, anil candor compels us to
proclaim that whilst we shall piotect their rights
of person and property, we deem it both inexpe
dient and unwise to permit them to exercise the
rights of either a juryman or voter, and we should
regard any attempt upon the part of Congress to
interfere with our rights in this respect, "as not
only an infraction ot the Constitution, but also a
gross and palpable invasion of the reserved rights
of the States.
10. We declare that as the Federal Govern
ment is one ot limited powers, it can only right
fully exercise those powers granted to it by the
States, aud that as the-Constitution expressly
says, “the privileges ot the writ of habeas corpus
shall not lie suspended unless when in cases of
rebellion or invasion the public safety may re
quire it,” it follows as a necessary consequence
that this great writ and bulwark of freedom is
fully restored as soon as the war of invasion is at
an end.
11. We declare that iu times like these, when
the people are grievously burdened by taxation
and a gigantic national debt, it becomes the gov
ernment to practice the most rigid economy iu
its expenditures, and to hold to a strict account
ability all officers aud contractors who have
been guilty of corruption, fraud, speculation and
embezzlement of the public monies, and we de
mand that it shall be done.
12. We declare that for the general Govern
ment to tax the people of the Southern States,
and at the same time deny them the right ot rep
resentation in Congress, would he in opposition
and conflict with those principles which were so
gloriously vindicated by our fathers in the bat
tles of tlie Revolution, and that if such a system
of government should be persevered in, it would
be unjust, tvranical. subversive of the principles
of republican liberty, and would finally eml in
disruption or abject despotism.
13. We declare that large standing armies in
times of peace not only burden the people with
enormous taxation, but are dangerous to all free
governments, and as every war in which we
have been engaged has abundantly demonstrated
that the nation can rely upon the valor and pa
triotism of its volunteer soldiers in any emergen
cy, we recommend that the army be reduced as
near as practicable to its former proportions in
times ot peace.
14. We declare, that taxation in whatever form
the same may be laid and collected, should be
made equal aud uniform, as far as practicable,
and that it is unjust, and contrary to the spirit
and genius of the government, that in laying and
collecting taxes there should be any discrimina
tions made in favor ot one class of citizens
against another class, or in favor of one species of
property against other species of property, or in
favor of one branch ot industry against other
branches of industry; hut that the whole wealth
and population of the country should he made
to bear equally tlie burden and expense of main
taining the government. That we regard the
exemption from taxation ot what is termed Gov
ernment securities, constituting, as they do, a
vast amount of the property of the nation, as an
unjust and odious discrimination in favor of the
rich against the poor, of the capitalists against
the laborer, and of the monied aristocracy against
the industrial classes of tlie country.
15. We declare, that in these times of corrup
tion and public plunder, when the people have
been defrauded out of hundreds of millions lfy
fraudulent contractors, and other public officers,
we deem it as a bright omen of the future, that
the President of the United States lias announc
ed to the countiy that he will receive no presents,
thus putting his seal of condemnation on a prac
tice which is so prolific of corruption, and so
near akin to bribery that the wise framers of our
Constitution deemed it necessary to engraft a
clause u]ion it, forhiding any officer ot I lie Gov
ernment from accepting any present from any
king, prince or foreign State.
16. We declare that the President, Andrew
Johnson, is entitled to the thanks of his country
men for his veto of those iniq. itous and unoosti-
lutional known as the Freedmen’s Bureau
bill and the Civil Rights hill, and that in refus
ing to accept of the enormous and almost un
limited powers which those hills conferred upon
him, he displayed an unselfishness not often ex
hibited by those in power, and has inspired every
patriot iu the land with new hope and confidence.
We are fully aware that lie came into the Presi-
dantial office surrounded hy a hundred fold more
difficulties than ever beset or encompassed any
of his predecessors, and the Democracy of Ken-
tt cky pledge him a generous and hearty support
in his efforts to restore the Constitution and the
union of the Stales.
17. We declare that the course of the majority
of the members of the last Legislature ot this
State, and of our present Senators and the ma
jority of our Representatives in Congress, have
beeu satisfactory to tlie people ot this State, and
merit our thanks.
IS. We exteud our greetings to tlie Democracy
of Indiana, Ohio anil all the other Northern
States—thanking them tor their past action, and
pledge our hearty co-operation with them in
working lor the restoration ol our Government
to its former purity and freedom.
19. In conclusion, we declare to the people ot
our own beloved Commonwealth as well as to
the people of the whole Union, that we have
met not to foment discord hut to heal dissen
sions, and to endeavor to the utmost of our pow
er to bring hack our Government to its ancient
purity, and to try to make it such as it was in the
days of Washington, Jefferson and Jackson.—
We wish to maintain and save both the Consti
tution and the Union as they came to us from
the hands of our patriot fathers, to preserve tlie
rights and liberties of our citizens, to maintain
all the safeguards of the Constitution intact and
inviolate, and to rescue tlie Government Irom the
vandal grasp ol" that radical Congress, whose
governing principle of action is rule or ruin.—
The Democratic party is not sectional, but is co-
extrensive with tlie Union itself, and its mission
is not to destroy, but to restore concord and fra
ternity, and to resist all encroachments, from
whatever quarter they may come, upon the Con
stitution and the liberties of the people. This is
tlie great work we propose, and to accomplish
these noble and patriotic purposes we invite the
co-operation of every patriot throughout our vast
domains.
From the Richmond Examiner.
Y'ankce Literatnre-Noiv ami Then.
Air. James F. Sliunk, of New York, recently
delivered an address at Bedford, Pennsylvania,
on “ The Abolition Literature ot the North.”—
The address is an able review and analysis of the
writings under consideration, and shows what a
striking contrast there is between ’the present
radical devotion to the Union and the avowed
hate of the same parties to it a few years ago.—
He investigates the claims of New England to
her boasted intellectual superiority, and says,
truly enough :
sarcastically, yet truly affirms, that infidelity and
atheism has seized them for their own:
Half the pulpits of the country have echoed
during tlie past five years with the harangues of
wandering intruders who never had a Bible iu
their hand, except when they swore on one that
they were too old for the draft. Reverend gen
tlemen have suffered their flocks to be addressed
hy a class of men whose morals would exclude
them from amz decent honsehold, not to say any
pious one. Tlie blasphemer and the bigot have
fondly embraced each other, and sit, cheek by
jowl, grinning over the bloodshed and ruin of
the most terrible of civil wars. Stump speakers
have turned preachers and preachers have turn
ed stump speakers in such vast numbers, that a
church-going man has sometimes to inspect the
pulpit, examine the hymn books that lie in the
seats, look curiously up at the organ, aud trace
out the saintly figures on the painted glass to
satisfy himself that he is not in a pot-house, or
at a ward meeting. Aisle and chancel, transept
and spire—mere architectural outlines—are all
that are left to identify hundreds of churches in
this land as temples of God.
The lecturer ably exposes the mean art by
which the Yankees endeavor to inculcate their
vile doctrines, of all kinds, through the medium
of school books, from the primer up to the high
est text hook; and then he examines the base
shillings of Northern periodicals to meet the
popular taste of its chief supporters. He takes
Harper's Magazine and Weekly as two notable ex
amples, and denounces them to merited execra
tion. We'regret that we cannot give the ad
dress in extenso, but onr limited space forbids.—
We would call particular attention to the two
facts: first, that Air. Sliunk is a citizen of New
York, and that he addresses an audience of
Pennsylvanians, who have not the fear of Thad
Stevens before their eyes. Air. Shunk concludes
thus :
1 have endeavored merely to sketch the evil
aud the danger of this Yankee abolition influ
ence :is developed in literature. It is a subject
which could not be exhausted in many addresses
and which I trust will be kept alive in our news
papers, by our firesides and everywhere. The
remedy is as simple as the evil is patent. Let us
buy no more of tlieir hooks, or only buy those
which we have cautiously examined. 1 do not
propose to exclude tlie publications of these abo
litionists from our houses because they advocate
political views in opposition to ours. I am will
ing to concede tlie largest liberty of thinking
upon all public questions, aud regard the aboli
tion fashion of suppressing newspapers, imprison
ing editors, and kidnapping speakers as one of
the gravest of crimes. But it is because their
books are grossly immoral, shockingly blasphem
ous ; becait* they make a murderer and a horse-
thiet a god, and call the Divine Father of us all
a “scoundrelbecause they teach disobedience
to law as a virtue, aud lawless despotism as the
right of a dominant party ; it is for these reasons
that we should snatch their polluted pages from
the. fingers of children, and close our doors
against a plague more terrible than the locusts or
the lice of Egypt.
Let us beware of tlie incursions of their agents,
colporteurs and tract-peddlers. Let us search a
publication which is brought to us by such hands
as carefully as the officers of quarantine inspect
an infected ship. Let us encourage home books,
home magazines, home newspapers, which incul
cate at least a decent reverence for God, and a
common respect for the Constitution. We have
the whole range of English literature from which
to fill the shelves of our libraries, and if we pro
duce fewer books than the Yankees, they are a
great deal better ones. Let us have the satisfac
tion of knowing that those miserable people, if
they will persist in writing falsehoods and blas
phemies and printing them, are also doomed,
exclusively, to the task of paying for them and
reading them. Pennsylvania will then become
as hopeless a market for their poetry and their
tracts as it is now for their boots, kettles and all
the mechanical cheats with which they beguiled
us thirty years ago.

Tlie Negroes of Hay tl.
A correspondent of the New York Herald,
writing from Port au Prince, makes the follow
ing statements, from which some idea may he
formed of the progress of the negroes in an is
land which they have governed for so long a
Tell me how many kits of mackerel or pounds i t ; me .
codfish were caught last year on tlie Yankee ‘ ^ , . .
The fact appears to me to be simply this: that
the people are extremely ignorant—I will not
use a harsher expression—and being in that con
dition, are easily made to swallow anything they
are told by the emissaries of Jeffard’s enemies,
who are very numerous. The hands of the Gov
ernment are in consequence very weak, for it
has almost come to this, that Jeffrard has but
little else but the army to support him.
A p roof of this weakness is evineed by the
conduct of the Government in a late case of Obi-
ism, where a party of several persons were dis
covered at one of their frightful cannibal orgies,
feasting upon cooked infants. Nothing was
done, because Jeffrard is afraid. It is a great
pity; for if no control be exercised, baby-pie will
get to he more and more extensively used, and
it will he positively unpleasant to travel in that
country. Fancy your correspondent arriving at
a hotel, very hungry and tired, and having a dish
of stewed babies’ fingers set before him. An old
African once assured me that it was very nice
eating, very* tender and delicate; and he spoke
from experience. Nevertheless, I would prefer
stewed oysters.
The Obeiism practiced in Jamaica is of a dif
ferent kind, though it has there, also, its canni
bal features; but it is for the most part confined
to a study of poisons for the purpose of getting
rid of obnoxious individuals, and some of the
Obi men have a wonderful knowledge of this
branch of their profession. Some years ago an
old Obi man died at Kingston who confessed, on
his death-bed, some of the enormities to which he
had lent himself by selling his services as a poi
soner. Heaps of “yaller kivered literature” could
be made out of the old fellow’s confession. A
very respectable looking Obi man sold me his
conjuring stick, which I keep as a great curi
osity. He promised to get me an idol, but I was
told by a friend not to expect it, and, of course,
was disappointed.
of coctflsli were caught last ye;
coast under the stimulus of the enormous Gov
ernment bounty; how many yards of calico and
bales of shoddy were thrown out by tlie mills of
Lowell; how many bushels of onions Weathers?
lield and her fragrant sister towns cast upon the
market; how many cheese came from the dairies
of Connecticut, and how many clams from the
shores of Rhode Islands, and I can form some
idea of how much the country owes NevrEng-
and for her annual contribution to tlie common
stock of wealth. But books belong to the class
of merchandise widely different to all these.—
Their quality is the measure of the debt, we owe
the people who give them to us. Their bulk,
tlieir weight, their numbers, avail nothing toward
an estimate of the minds from which they ema
nate. A pocket copy of Sliakspeare is worth all
the trash under which the presses of New Eng
land ever groaned, all the millions of pages
which her diligent scribblers ever fastened be
tween two covers. To thank a nation of untir
ing literary hacks simply for giving, you plenty
of books, is to rate poetry with cheese and cod
fish.
The orignal Abolitionists, as lie well maintains,
were infidels, who discarded the Bible aud
scoffed at it, because it gave them no aid and
comfort in their political tenets. Holy AYrit
was subordinated to a “ higher law,” anti these
pious Puritans patronized Garrison’s Liberator,
which bore at its head yie seditious motto: “The
Constitution of the United States is a covenant
with death and an agreement with hell.” Their
daring blasphemy is well delineated in the fol
lowing paragraph :*
Theodore Parker, their ablest writer, could not
conceal his scorn for the popular faith in the Re
deemer. -He spoke ot Christ as a man of con
siderable talents and fair character, personally
unpopular because somewhat in advance of his
age. He sneered at the Lord’s Supper, in so
man}' words, as “ mere eating of baker's bread,
and drinking of grocer's wine." Abby Kelly
took somewhat different ground, and, by way of
reconciling her brethren to the plan of salvation,
roundly asserted that Jesus Christ was a negro.
Their newspapers, their tracts, their anniversary
addresses, tlie slump speeches with which, un
der the name of sermons, they profaned the Sab
bath. were stuffed with such sentiments as these.
I think, however, that their blasphemy culmina
ted in the celebrated declaration ot Henry C.
AVright, published in the Liberator—“If God
Almighty lias the power to abolish slavery and
docs not do so immediately, He is a very great scoun
drel ! ”
Until they became rulers in the land, treason
w as the staple of their daily utterances, aud they
had no affection for tlie “ Union ” or tlie “ glori
ous stars and stripes,” until they had tlie pre
sumption to think themselves the masters of both.
Air. Shunk well says :
Of the literature of the Abolitionists up to the
the time when they grew to lie a political force,
little need be said. It consisted chiefly of news
paper articles, abusing everybody but themselves,
sermons of divines wdio got their texts out of the
“higher law," tracts written by meddlesome old
women in England, biographies of runaway ne
groes manufactured by loug-liaired, hungry scrib
blers in Boston, and ballads of the precise pat
tern of Greele}’’s “Ode to the American Flag: ”
“Tear down the daunting lie !
Half mast the starry flag !
Insult nc sunny sky
Witta hate’s polluted rag!"’ etc.
Contempt for the government was the great
distinguishing feature of their early writings ; but
whether they despised the government of God,
or that of the Constitution, the Scriptures, or tlie
flag, the most, it is extremely difficult to decide.
But a change came over the spirit of fheir
dream when they triumphed in the election of
Air. Lincoln. Things betore despised assumed a
new value, and literature changed its tone with
marvellous aptitude to suit itself to the demands
of the new situation.
Tlie abolitionists were now the dispensers of
patronage. Sword and purse were theirs. The
rights and privileges of the whole people were at
t^e disposal of their ruthless will. They no lon
ger assembled in cock lofts to hatch treason;
They sent kidnappers swarming over the country
to discern it in men’s eyes, to read it in the color
of the ribbons about a baby’s neck or the trim
ming of its mother’s bonnet, and to drag these in
cipient traitors, sucking conspirators and petti-
coated Catalines, to such dungeons as the human
ity of Beast Butler and his kind might assign
them. The scouters at lawful power became tlie
sticklers for the most iron despotism. Jlie “pol
luted rag” and the “flauntinglie,” to which Gree
ley had addressed his beautiful ballad, became
“the dear old flag,” aud men who had bled under
it when Yankee blue lights were luring the ene
my to onr coast, were beaten and imprisoned be
cause they refused to degrade those grand old
colors by flinging them to the breeze at the bid
ding of a brutal mob. Canting wretches who
had wept over the separation of young niggers
in the South; whose pocket handkerchiefs had
been soaked over the agonizing recital by some
fugitive Sambo of the shock which parting from
his grandmother had cost him, clamored loudly
for li law which rent every dear domestic tie
known to oar blood; which tore husband and
wife, mother and child, brother and sister, asun
der forever; w hich sent the boys of a household,
not to seek their subsistence in some new field of
labor, but to lay down their young lives amid the
hideous scenes of bloody battle, or the want and
misery of a Northern prison! The “party of
freedom,” as they still style themselves, proved
to be the party of slavery, whose shackles bound
the wrists of their own race.

Bravo.
The Richmond Times-truthfully says:
Harper’s “Journal of Civilization” has been
for some months staggering beneath the weight
of a leaden romance entitled “Inside; or a
Chronicle of the Rebellion.” We learn that
when a prize was ottered some time since for the
most foolish and scandalous libel that could be
written about the people of the South, the-claims
of the author of this novel were decided by a
committee to be superior to those of all his com-
petitors. The merit of the work in the eyes of
the Harpers however, is its fiendish hatred of the
Southern people Each chapter of the stupid
and malicious libel is illustrated with one of
those wretchedly executed wood cuts, which
once induced the London -Punch to say that
Harper’s Weekly looked much more like an “ul
cerated” than au “illustrated” journal. The en
graving which introduced the last chapter, which
we have seen ot “Inside” to the public, represents
a dark, dismal pool in the tangled recesses of a
Southern forest In this foul tody of water the
dead bodies of innumerable men, women, and
children are seen floating on the surface, bloated
and hideous as the carcasses of dead frogs.—
These, tlie author tells his readers, are the bodies
of tlie loyal Union inhabitants of the section of
country in which the scene of his romance is
laid.
The ordinary amusement of all the “seces
sionists” who were not in the army during the
late civil war consisted in hunting, shooting,
hanging and drowning their neightore who were
“Unionists.” As the “ever loyal” were numer
ous in the vicinity of this horrible pool, its black,
stagnant waters were soon filled with their todies.
The Harpers have at least the grace to admit
that “Inside” is a romance, and its readers are
not expected to believe all that is said in its
pages. But one John Bonner has written and
published for the use of schools “a Child’s His
tory of the Rebellion,” which is stuffed with the
most stupendous lies which have been written
since the “Adventures of Baron Alunchauseu”
were published. This repertory of slander, mis
representation and abuse, the author has had the
brazen effrontery to call “history,” and to place
into the hands of innocent youth. Alen who
thus deliberately poison the youthful mind, and
teach sectional hatred as one of the earliest les
sons in the schools, very richly deserve hanging.
Constitutional Amendment Proposed by
the Reconstruction Committee.—The Re
construction Committee agreed to report the fol
lowing constitutional amendment: First. The
Bingham proposition, securing the rights of all
citizens in every State, and forbidding State
legislation to the contrary. Second. Basing
representation upon numbers, excluding all who
are excluded from the polls. Third. Repudia
ting the rebel debt Fourth. Giving Congress
power to enact such laws as are necessary to
enforce these amendments. In addition, two
bills will be reported, one admitting Congres
sional delegations from the States ratifying these
amendments, and the other declaring ineligible
to office the leading rebel officials.
The Post's special says the committee has not
reached a conclusion, but the plan of the New
York delegation seems to meet with favor.

cultivated farm, over which I w’alked in compa

others he contemplated introducing. He is in
fine health and spirits, and seems wrapped up in
his old but renewed occupation. He employs
some ten or twelve negro hands, who appear
much attached to him, and with whom he has
but little trouble. There is one, however, in par
ticular entitled to special mention; his name is
George, and he has followed the Governor from
the first Alanassas to the surrender of himself at
the close of hostilities, and then to his home,
where, he says, he will forever remain by his
“bread and butter,” as he knows on which side
of the former the latter is to be found.—Corres

A Novel Wager.—An amusing story is go
ing the round of the Paris clubs. It appears
that a short time ago a foreign prince made a
heavy bet that he would be arrested by the po
lice without committing any offense whatever,
or in any way provoking the authorities. The bet
having been taken by a member of the Imperial
Club, the prince went to one of the most aristo
cratic cafes in Paris, dressed in a battered hat, a
ragged blouse, and boots all in holes, and, sitting
down at one of the tables, ordered a cup of coffee.
The waiters, however, paid no attention to so
suspicious lookiug a customer, upon which the
prince put liis hand in his pocket and showed
them a bundle of bank notes. The proprietor
then ordered tlie coffee to be served, sending
meanwhile to the nearest police station for a ser
geant de ville. The prince was duly arrested
and taken to the commissary of police, where lie
stated who he was, and was afterwards taken to
the gentleman with whom he made the bet to
prove his identity. A similar story was told at
Vienna some time ago of a Hungarian Prince
Seander, M. de Aletternich’s son-in-law, who, in
order to make his arrest quite sure, took the
bank notes out ol his boots.
A AIan Deliberately Shoots Himself.—
At about, half past ten o’clock, a young man
from Williamson county, named James Wood,
who kept bar for Air. Shy, on Church street,

two cartridges, before he accomplished the deed.
• He was about 20 or 25 years of age; but we
did not ascertain whether or not he leaves a

we ever lieai’d. He died in five minutes.—Nash

Atlanta Market.
Tuesday, May S.—We have no changes to make in our
regular quotations in another column, excepting in the
article of Corn, which has advanced a few cents, with a
still further upward flight almost certain. We heard of a
few transactions yesterday for White at $1 25, hnt deal
ers generally are asking ft 30©$ 1 S3, while some are
holding off for still higher figures. The largest and best
lot of Com in the market is held at $1 40. Yellow and
Mixed ranges at $1 20®$1 25, according to quality and
condition for shipment. The market may be truthftilly
stated as decidedly stiff.
Bacon remains firm at our quotations, with a good
stock on the market. Provisions generally unchanged,
but tending upward.
St. Lou in Market.
■The Democrat says Hour remains steady and in good
demand Tor choice double extra for Eastern shipment,
aud good spring grades, for bakers’.use, in this and all
cities South and West. Low and nnsonnd grades are
having a bad time iu New Orleans. We are informed
that several thousand barrels have been closed ont there
by auction at $3 to $4 50 V barrel. A terrible loss for
somebody.
When we, predicted a rise of 5 to 10 cents ® bushel
upou Northern spring wheat, in the Democrat of last
Monday, we did not expect the rise would take place
this week, but a portion of it has done so to-day. No 1
spring advanced 5 cents ® bushel to-day, and closed with
au upward tendency. We have carefully uxamined the
samples of this wheat, aud regard it capable of making
as good flour as that class of tall which is now bringing
$2 $1 bushel in tliis market. We are therefore or the
opinion that choice clean lots of this Northern spriug
will bring more than the price fixed to-day before tlie
week closes.
Com advanced again to-day pretty sharply, and closed
firm with au upward tendency. We remember last fall
when the fact became apparent that the wheat crop or
Illinois and Missouri was pretty nearly all destroyed, it
was universally published and believed that there was an
immense amount of com raised, and that article would
be “dogcheap” this season. It was expected that a
fabulous amount would be^hipped from the Illinois Val
ley to this city, and prices go down by the run. Quite
the contrary lias been true. Very little, comparatively,
has beeu brought jlown, and the prospects of heavy re
ceipts are not brilliant. We therefore believe that good
sound com is first rate property at present prices.
FLOUR.
The demand was principally upon orders to-day, and
was for small lots mainly. But one rouud lot was sold.
This waj a tot of riot) barrels of double extra, price not
made public. Sales were, double extra at $11; double
extra at $12.
