THE EXPECTED KI HOPKiM WAR. HOW IT MAY EFFECT THE UNITED STATES. ■ New York. Nov. 17.— The Graph-' Washington special says it is under stoad there that at the office of the Secretary of State, there had been an overhauling of documents with a view of being prepared for sueh emergen cies as may arise should a war be tween Russia and Great Britiun be declared. It is not improbable that, in the event of war, enterprising American ship-owners and capitalists might feel disposed to get letters of marque from Russia to prey upon English oommerce. ? It would be no misfortune for this country if the rates of insurance were raised so high as to render unprofitable the use of English vessels, and force tho mer chants of the world to employ Amer ican ships. Rumor has it that in tho event of a war, the great and rapid steamships of the Paciflo Mail Steamship Com pany will be purchased to be used us vessels of war under the Russian flag. Hence the controversies connected with the Alabama and tho other rebel privateers are to be gone over with a view to meet emergencies. The voluminous correspondence of the late Secretary of State, Wm. H. Seward, Is being re-read to note the precedents established. It is felt here that a war is now inevitable. Russia will bo practically alone, and it is now clear that Germany will not co-operate with her, but will stand aloof. An Honest, (Sensible ami Weil-to-lio Democrat. Now and then| our attention is called to an honest, sensible and in telligent colored Democrat. The last one to claim our notice is Daniel Polhill, who lives upon Mr. S. W. Brown’s plaoe in Pulaski county. Daniel can read well—in tact while he was a slave he was taught to read by the sons ot his old master, Ste phen Brown, of Houston, who died ten years ago. Daniel is respected for his good sense, intelligence and punctuallicy to his contracts. Those who know him, trust him in any promise he makes. He was always a faithful slave, and since his freedom he has labored hard and now owns two good, fat mules, horse, buggy, and general farm stock. We saw Daniel In the Court-house Square in Hawkinsville on the day of the last election, and ho not only voted the Democratic ticket, but tried to induce others, by fair argument, to vote for the Democratic candi dates. There could have been no sor did motive prompting Daniel in his support of the Democratic party, for he has plenty to live upon, owns his stock, and is out of debt. He argued reasonably and gave good grounds why he supported the party, and, al though to some it might have seem ed strange, he was not at a loss to give his reasons for the course he pursues. There were many other colored men who voted the Demo cratic ticket, but Daniel did so with out any persuasion or influence being brought to bear upon him. He said he could read, and felt that it was his duty to help the whites overthrow a party that is preying upon the peo ple’s interests.— Hawkinsville Disp. Butler’s Laat Speech. From his Speech in Faneuil Hall, Election Night. Fellow Citizens—l have fought the fight. [Applause.] I have finished the course; I have kept the faith. I must go farther and say, “After the manner of iften, I have fought with beasts at Ephesus.” [Laughter.] And I have had so much to do with ministers of the Gospel of late, that I have got used to the good Book, the precepts of which these clergymen ought to better understand. One year ago, in this hall, was given the order to the Republican party, “Bum mers, to the rear.” What is a bum mer? It is one who follows the camp, but is never on hand to do his duty in the ranks except when the call is to roast beef. Now, the gentleman who spoke that dictum in Faneuil Hall, with 1,500 other bummers and sutlers, has marched fully to the rear. I rejoice in my own election for the reason that, on the great question which interests New Eng land, that of protection, the needs of this section will not be misrepresent ed. Take your own city of Boston. I have no reason to have any very warm regard for many of its citizens; but It is the metrop lis of New England and in its welfare every New England man is interest ed, Now, its future depends not on its commerce. Its supremacy on the sea cannot be regained. But it is a centre of manufacturing industry, and on prosperity here depends its future. If the tariff is repealed, her beautiful stores, which have risen like magic on the burnt district, will be without tenants, for the mer chants of Boston will have no trade. I am interested in manufactures, and I will will say that, to the extent of my ability, the interests of Boston will find no more gallant defender. The Roman Catholic Church in England and America.— ln reference to the growth of the Roman Catholic Church ifl America, it is stated that, a hundred years ago, there were not more than 25 priests in the United States; in 1800 there were supposed to be 40; in 1830 the number had risen to 232, and in 1848 to 890. In ten years, from 1862 to 1872, the number of priests had more than doubled— having grown from 2,317 to 4,809. In 1875, according to the official statis tics of the various dioceses, there were 5,074 priests, 1,273 ecclesiastical students, and 6,528 churches or chap els of the Roman Catholic rite within the territory of the republic. There were also, in the same years, 33 theo logical seminaries, 63 colleges, 557 academies and select schools, 1,645 parochial schools, 214 asylums, and 96 hospitals under the authority and control of the Roman Catholic clergy of the United States. Suggestive as are these figures, the Church of Rome can point to others almost equally suggestive in English contemporary history. Thus, in six teen years, the number of Catholic chapels in Great Britain was more than doubled; there having been 570 in 1851, and 1,283 in 1867 .—Pa1l Mall Gazette. An obliging correspondent sends us a striking historical precedent for President Grant’s order dispatching troops to inspect the counting of the votes at a Presidential election. When the formidable Lord Strafford was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland un der Charles I, he sent a troop of dra goons down to a place where a cer tain Irishman, alleged to be a rebel, was to be tried by jury; and when asked why he sent these troops there, he answered, “they would be good lookers-on.” The moral effect of a troop of United States cavalry “look ing on” while three carpet-bagging office-holders count the votes of Flor ida, for example, ought no doubt to be very great. But there are some millions of men ifl the North who are watching the troop of cavalry, and who also may prove to be “good lookers-on.” — N. 7. World. W. P.

Baird, Sec y of Publication of Presbyterian Church South.] Richmond, July 27,1874. The Xanthine is the only hair dressing I have ever used which has removed the dandruff from tho scalp and made my hair soft and pliable. It has also restored my hair to its natural color; and by occasionally using it as a hair dressing, I have no doubt it will preserve the color. I'., X. [Prom Rev.

Tho following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel known agriculturist, Solon Robinson: . ... . .. _ All the farmers wero of tho “well to do” sort, and somo of them, who have turned thoir attention to fruits and market gardening, havo grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey, and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, in which deposits ol peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it has been exhausted of its natural fertility. It is certainly one of the most oxtcnslve fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. Tho whole country is a marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the ry formation; and this marly substance in scattered all through tho sod, in a very comminuted form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as tho farmer desires to cultivate. ——„———> EVERYBODY SUITED.
