FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 4, ISOtl.
GENERAL GRANT.
Our esteemed cotemporarics of the Atlanta
Intelligencer and Columbus Enquirer unite in
an acknowledgment ot General Grant’s friend
liness of feeling toward the South. From cer
tain most reliable information, lately put in our
possession, we arc induced to believe this
kindly disposition has not been overrated, and,
in that impression, tender to the Lieutenant
General our own sense of his humane and up
right bearing. To his influence it is, we learn,
that General Lee was not, by the base machina
tions of radical tricksters, made the victim of
a hate as cowardly as it is great. At the first
whisper of an intent to annoy that gallant gen
tleman by proceedings in utter derogation ot
his parole, General Grant, we are informed,
at once stated that were such atrocity commit
ted, he would forthwith throw up a commis
sion that could not then longer be retained
without some degree of military dishonor.
Through the person of their General command
ing the pledged faith of these United States
would, by so wilful a perfidy, have been griev
ously broken, and, though a past uncompro
mising enemy of that successful Captain, we
now take a special pleasure in recording this
our present testimony to his soldierly good faith.
It was said by one of our eotemporaries above
alluded to that hardly duo justice was rendered
General Grant by the people of the South I ut
we know this mention—based on such irrefrag
ible evidence—of his honest demeanour will go
far to correct any deficiency in the rendition of
honour where honour is due. Besides the ease
of General _Lee, venerabile et clarissimum no
men, it is al6o stated to us that, by a like course
of action on the part of the Lieutenant General
Admiral Semmes was released from captivity
and the Hon. Clement C. Clat restored to
the supplications of a most amiable and devoted
wife. “ Gen. Grant”—says our informant,
whose name, might we mention it, would be
recognized at once as that of a distinguished
Gbohgia patriot and statesman—“ “is not dis
posed to oppress the South ; on the contrary
he is striving to lighten her burthen." For
snch generous intention—an intention that
bears for us a sweet fruition already—the hero
of the North may rest assured he will be held
by this people in kindly esteem. More, we
know, he would not expect, for our hearts are
with that past in which so many of our dearest
fell before his legions, but on this at least—a
meed prompted by justice and accorded in nil
sincerity—he may confidently rely.
THFoEOLiiA.
In the wake of war comes pestilence, says
much of history, and the general rule, .it ap
pears, is not to make an exception in the ease
of the Great Republic, Already we hear omi
nous notes of its udvent on our shores, the
particular form—Cholera—which seems about
to devastate this country, having made its
horrent appearance in New York. Though no
stranger, unhappily, to our people, the re
appearance of this dreaded distemper is looked
on with fully as great a dread, as though it had
never had sway among us before. This very
apprehension it is which forms the most potent
agent in the cholera’s destructive activity, the
faculty very generally agreeing that, the mere
physical power thereof is small in comparison
to that much more terrific adventitious strength
it gathers from fright. Good medical attend
ance, faithful nursing, and a mind at ease are
pretty certain to work a cure, but for the
patient whose courage sinks the prospect is
small. So potent indeed is mental influence in
this disease that there is even a ease laid down
in the books where a capital criminal banded
over to the Paris faculty for experiment, ex
, liibited its every symptom on beingconfined to a
bed, which though entirely new, was, he was
told, that whereon a cholera patient bad ex
pired, and in the end, for the trial was cruelly
persisted in, met from his imagination a death the
gallows would otherwise have awarded him.
To one and all, then, labouring under any ap
prehension as to this malady, we suggest the
keeping of a stout heart. Pluck, as says the
old German war-song, will win, and before a
dauntless demeanour and composed soul,
even the dreaded cholera loses a great
portion of its power. Acting on this same
general principle which prompts our sounding
this cheering note, there are given by the
Round Table some excellent rules of advice,
though couched in a form of irony. Subjoined
wc re-publish and, inviting attention thereto,
advise our readers by all means to keep calm
and serene, face the storm unflinchingly, trust
in God and play the man. Then like all other
ills, this last calamity will beat as waves dash
on the light-house rocks—fierce to assail but
impotent to destroy :
I. Reduce at once the quantity of food that
von are accustomed to take.
11. Avoid everything but what you feel sure
is adapted to your constitution, and if you are
in the slightest doubt, as to any article promptly
eschew it.
11. Scrutinize whatever you eat, and by all
means keep up a constant watch upon your
digestive organs with a view of ascertaining
the effect of the various articles of food in
which you may indulge.
IV. Eat no fruit and very few vegetables,
however much you may hanker for them
throughout the spring and summer.
V. Keep the thought always in mind that you
are liable to have the cholera at any moment,
and that the way to exemption from it lies in
refraining from doing almost everything that
you would do were not the fear of'this disease
before your eyes.
VI. In a word, reduce your system as much
as possible, and, so far as in you lies, make
yourself about as uncomfortable as you can.
MILLARD FILLMORE.
The New York Tribune thinks it unfortunate
that the Hon. Millard Fillmore, now travel
ing in Europe, should have written to President
Johnson in warm commendation of the Execu
tive policy. That it personally respects Mr.
Fillmore the batne paper is good enough to
say, but immediately subjoins to this honey the
hitter declarations that “ his heart was with the
Rebels throughout our great struggle," and that
not “ ten other copperheads ” in New York
were so hostile to co-ercion as that gentleman..
As a mnu once holding great office and well
known for singular purity of character, it is of
course, gratifying to know that Mr. Fillmore’s
sympathies were ever with tbo weak against the
strong, but, beyond this, there is a further mat
ter connected with hrs position which sets the
sage of the Tribune on thorns. Mr. Fillmore
was cnee President of these United States,
and, with Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Pierce, forms
the third of a now living ex-Presidential trio.
Singularly enough each of these geutlotnen,
known for loug and varied political service, and
especially experienced as to the theory and
workings of this government, from the insight
obtained during their respective executive
terms, were, during the 'ate civil war, either
avowedly in favor of the South or so under
stood. Mr. Buchanan, though much, and it
would seem unjustly, maligned, held very
firmly to the doctrine of State rights, whereon
the theoretical justice of secession depended,
while both of his compeers are understood to
have openly taken the ground that the South
was in the right. This sort of evidence, though
of no value now as to the dead issue of Seces
sion, is of worth as showing that in the eye of
statesmanship and experience, the present po
litical views of the Radicals aje highly baseless
and wrong. For some time, perhaps, even
such high testimony may, like much other
sound polity and good sense, be disregarded in
this country ; hut the day will come for us as
for all other peoples, when the sober second
thought will be neither lacking nor disregard
ed, and in that day, we are of impression no
little weight will be given the views attributed
to Mr. Fillmore.
“Mr Maryland, My Maryland!”—This
once favorite air is entitled to be revived in
view of the late noble charity of the ladies of
Baltimore, by which over #IOO,OOO were realized
for the benefit of the starving women and chil
dren of the South. The heart of Maryland was
always right, but, being made the object of po
litical tyranny from the outbreak of the rebel
lion, the fires of patriotism were smothered in
her bosom, but not extinguished, as is proven
by tile blaze of enthusiastic patriotism which
lias lighted up Baltimore with such glorious
effulgence during the month just closing. All
honor to Maryland and her beautiful city. The
people of the State have nobly redeemed' its
time-honored reputation for all that is generous
and good.— Macon Citizen.
Serious Dueling Affray.—A desperate
duel was fought on Wednesday in the neigh
borhood of the city of New Orleans, between
an ex-Confcderatc and Federal officer. The
weapons were pistols, and at the first fire 7 the
Federal received the bullet of bis antagonist
through both lungß, causing a dangerous aud
probably a fatal wound. The ex-Confederate
was shot through both legs, below the knee,
the. tibia of the right leg being broken. Though
serious, his hurt* are not dangerous. We be
lieve the quarrel arose from politics. The
Federal la a native of, France, whilst the ex
ilonfederatc Is either a native Frenchman, or a
Creole of French extraction, who was an offl
c#r in, Coppen’a Louisiana battalion, and had
»<een publicly complimented by General Lea
on the issttla field for his gallantry.
Manufacturing.—William Gregg, Esq., says
the Columbia Phoenix, who has been in Europe
for some months past, has just returned, hav
ing purchased abroad a complete outfit of new
machinery for his factory, at GranitoviUc. The
machinery has been already shipped to Savan
nah and Charleston.
It is determined, as we learned some weeks
ago from our Augusla exchanges, to fit up this
factory with this new .machinery—the old being
advertised for sale—which is intended for the
manufacture of the finest descriptions of cotton
cloth, shirtings, sheetings, &e., and we presume
a bleaching and probably a printing establish
ment will be added. Heretofore, nothing but
cotton osnaburgs aud heavy brown sheetings
and shirtings.were made at Graniteville. Thi6
movement of the Graniteville Company will be
followed up by other manufacturing establish
ments.
The Saluda Factory, under the energetic
management of Col. Childs, is being recon
structed, and will be filled up with new ma
chinery. Vauclause is also being renovated.
We presume that in other Southern States the
same spirit of improvement lias been taken hold
of by tile capitalists and business men, and we
trust the day is not distant when the hum of ma
chinery will he heard along the water courses
of the Southern country. The sudden change
in our system of labor almost necessitates a
change of the investments of our capitalists
aud business men, as well as a change in the
employment of those whose labor it is to assist
in developing the resources of the South.
Mr. Sumner, in a speech in the Senate the
other day, on a hill to indemnify naval con
tractors for losses on work done for the Gov
etnment, paid this handsome compliment to
the mechanics of the North:
“ Had the contracts been made in time of
peace, Congress would not be justified in doing
what was now proposed, but war had made
changes that could not he overlooked. It
would he simply an act of justice to make good
these losses to the mechanics of flic country,
who had contributed almost as much, / was
about to sag, as even the freedmen, to the nation
al success."
The white mechanics of the North are con
sidered liy Ibis Abolition snob to be almost as
important to the national success as the ne
groes of the South! Let us hear no more of
Senator Hammond and his mudsills of society
after this. No Southern Senator ever made so
degrading a comparison against our labor, and
skilled labor at that.— Cincinnati Enquirer.

Not Bad for the Old Ladt.—A correspond
ent of a New York paper, who is accompanying
Generals4Steedman and Fullerton in their tour
through Virginia, speaking of the Jefferson
mansion at Montieello, says :
The mansion itself has gone to decay, and has
a painfully-neglected appearance. One would
suppose that no one lived in a house so lonely
and ruined, but we were, informed that the place
was inhabited, and could be visited lor the
moderate sum of twenty cents.
General Steedman inquired wbat particular
fund flic money was to go to, and was informed
by the old lady in charge that it was lo restock
the place with the chickens that Sheridan’s
cavalry had ‘■'cut up before her eyes." r
The General did not protract the conversa
tion.
Gen. Jordan.—Gen. Thomas Jordan, Adju
tant General on the staff of Gen. Beauregard
during the war, is now one of the editors of the
Memphis Appeal.
The foregoing we clip from an Atlnnta paper.
We had thought that a position on Harper's
Journal of Civilization, or the New York Tri
bune, or the Boston 1 'ranscript, would have
comported more with Mr. Jordan’s ideas- than
a place on a Southern newspaper. Our readers
will remember that “ General” Jordan was the
author of the infamous attack upon President
Davis, published in Harper's Weekly a short
time after Mr. Davis’ incarceration in Fortress
Monroe.— Charleston News.
Pennsylvania.—A writer in the St. Louis
Republican says:
“ I have been much through the interior of
Pennsylvania within the last six months; I
have heart! many of the soldiers, both Demo
crats and Republicans, speak concerning the
war and the action in Congress. Sumner and
Stevens have no strength in Pennsylvania.”
From the old conservative antecedents of the
State we have a right to look for a great Demo
cratic victory there next fall—a victory that
will elect a Governor and two-tliirds of the
members of Congress.
Clear as Mud.—A lecture was delivered on
Monday evening, at the rooms of the New
York University, upon cholera, its causes,
treatment, and the modes of preventing it. In
conclusion the lecturer gave it as his opinion
that “ the disease now dreaded was not conta
gious, but was communicated by germs voided
from the excretory processes of persons in
fected.”
Pestilential.—We have fallen on pestilen
tial days. Cholera in the Orient, Italy and
South France; Trichina in Germany; Rinder
pest in Russia,- Holland and England, where
upon the Sheep Plague is added.— New York
Tribune. t
Greeley forgot “ Jacobins in Americaa

Sheep Plague, Nitro-glyccrine and Ren Butler.
Arcades Ambo..—Dexter, the alleged great
cotton swindler, has brought suit against Gen
eral Woods, commanding the Department of
Alabama, for false imprisonment, &c. Dama
ges are laid at £500,000. The suit will be heard
in Mobile. Dexter has engaged Ben. Butler for
one of his counsel.
Appallino.—An exchange states that within I
a month after the opening of the New York
State Inebriate Asylum, over fifteen hundred
applications were made by wealthy parents for
the admission of their daughters , who had con
tracted habits ot intemperance from the use of
wines and liquors at fashionable parties.

death, in Petersburg, Va., of Lieut. Col. John !
W. Goss, of Unionville, S. C. The surviving

Released.— Captain Frank Gurley, who was
condemned some time since to be hung, by a
military commission, for the killing of General
McCook, during the late war, has been released
from prison by order of the President.
Consoling for the South—Dr. Stone, the
eminent physician, says the cholera never visits
warm latitudes in the summer. Cold, damp
weather in the fall and early spring produces
it, but the cholera dies out in summer.

yesterday by a call from Mr. George E. Isaacs,
the energetic superintendent of this road, and
probably one cl' the oldest and most popular
railroad men in the State; He gives »s the
gratifying information that in a few days the
repairs on the Greenville road will be com
pleted, there being only about two miles of
iron to lay down near Alston, when the staging
so objectionable to travelers will be dispensed
with. As soon as the bridge at Alston can be
finished the trains will run through to Green
ville without detention. Thus all the lines of
travel centering here will have recovered from
the damages inflicted by Sherman’s vandalism,
in a space of time so brief as to reflect the
highest credit upon the energy, perseverance

The Confederate Colony at Cordova.
Cordova, Mexico, March 30, 1866.
It is somewhat remarkable that with such
constant and regular communication- as exists
between New York and the City of Mexico,
and so many Americans making the journey to
and from the two cities, such ignorance of the
route traveled should exist in the United
States. Steamship lines ply from VCrn Cruz to
New York, England, France aucLilpain, all the
lines touching at Havana. Pcrjßis from the
West and South can take a steaflr at New Or
leans for Havana, at which porHe will be de
tained hut a few days at most, acting a steam
er for Vera Cruz. Upon arriWig at Vera
Cruz, if bound for Cordova, OrM>a, Puebla or
the City of Mexico, the travels); in order to
avoid delays upon the route, should proeure a
through ticket to his place of destination, oth
erwise he may be delayed days, or even weeks,
awaiting a chance seat in the dilligence. The
railroad is competed only to Passo del Macho,
a miserable collection of hutsßand at this
point a traveler’s trials, unless Inis secured
his passage in the dilligence, be<B.
The valley of Cordova, situatef in the moun
tains, sixty-tive miles from VeraxTruz, is 2,800
feet above the level of the sea, and for salubrity
of climate, beauty of scenery aA) fertility, is
unsurpassed anywhere in the wtfld. The same
description of country from the
Paneroe river, at the mouth o•which is the
city of Tampico, to Tehuantwec. Cordova,
however, is the most elevated Jf these lands,
and consequently the most heißhy. The alti
tude of the city, and the proxinßy of the snow
clad peak of Orizeba keep aXiniformity of
temperature almost unknownHlsewhere, the
greatest range of the thermometer being
seventy-five degrees, never falling below sixty
five nor rising above ninety degrees, the weather
being similar to warm days in May in the, lati
tude of Philadelphia. The city was one of the
first commercial importance under the rule of
Spain, exporting immense quantities of sugar,
brandies, fruits and coffee, but has fallen into
decay, and is only known abroad as a coffee
mart and as the seat of the American colony in
Mexico. Cordova contains possibly five thou
sand inhabitants, including,! regiment of French
and Austrian soldiers, and about one hundred
and seventy-five Americans. The number of
Confederates who have sought asylum in
Mexico, I am assured, does not exceed twenty
five hundred, of whom not more than two
hundred and fifty are in Cordova valley. But
three members of the Richmond Congress are
in the Empire—Senator Oldham, of Texas;
Judge Perkins, of Louisiana, and Wilkes, of
Missouri. Members of the House Conroy and
1 arsons, of Missouri, were murdered by the
Mexicans last snmmcr at Toro, between
Monterey and Matamoras. Governor Harris,
of Tennessee, is at the colony,nine miles south
west ot Cordova, engaged in clearing up his
land and making ready to plant a crop this
season. Governors Reynolds (of Missouri) and
Allen are in the city of Mexico—Allen editing
the Tunes and Reynolds acting as agent of the

Sterling Price is at Carlotta; Brigadier General
Shelby has a splendid hacienda four miles from
Cordova, on the Vera Cruz road ; Major Gen
eral W aterhousc is a contractor on tlie railroad,
and Brigadier General Lyon is at the head of a
surveying party near Tudpan. These are the
°nly Confederate generals east of the city of
Mexico. Major General Magruder is Surveyor
General of the Government colonization enter
prise. Wilcox talks of returning to the States,
and Hindman of going to Yucatan. These are
all residing in the city. Brigadier General
Slaughter, of the old army, is interested in mills
in the valley, and Hardeman, of Texas, is sur
veying on the Pacific slope of the mountains.
Os all these. General Shelby is the most ener
getic and enterprising, and consequently his
prospects are more flattering than any other
American’s in the country. Besides working
his hacienda, lie runs large wagon trains from
the railroad terminus at Paso del Macho to the
city. His wagons are all of Yankee manufac
ture, are drawn liy ten mules each, and every
wagon carries a load of six thousand or seven
thousand pounds, the freight of which is from
8300 to 83.>0. Major General Julia] Early
[inssed through this city yesterday, enroute for
Havana, where he will probably locate, as he
had become very much dissatisfied with Mexico.
He is writing a history of ltis campaigns, which
can hardly tail proving interesting, even if it
he not entirely reliable. General Bee is a ship
broker in Havana. Commodore Maury re
cently'went to France after his family; but it
is very probable that lie will remain in Europe,
as latterly lie has been out of favor with Maxi
milian.
Judge Perkins was formerly one of the largest
cotton planters in the United States, and se
cured a portion of his wealtli before leaving
Louisiana. He lias a small coffee plantation
adjoining tiiis city, and is about opening an
other at Carlotta. Judge Perkins is the only
Confederate, except Kirby Smith and staff, who
brought with him any considerable amount of
- means ; the others are poor, and are obliged to
j get their living as best they can. The gentle
j men mentioned, with one or two exceptions,
[ have gone to work with a determination to rc
; trieye their fortunes that bodes success; they
I are industrious and exergefie, bearing the trials
j and privations to which they are subject with
I rare courage and equanimity, never once re
i verting to the sacrifices which they made to the
! cause which they espoused and whose downfall
| proved their own ruin. Judge Oldham, form-
I erly chief justice of Texas, inis turned photo
j grapher, and is in business in this city, The
Judge has also turned author, and is engaged
I upon tlie last sheets of a work entitled “A His
tory of a Journey from Rlehmoud to the Rio
Grande, from March3o to June 2ft, I 860; or the
Last Days of the Confederate States.” This
hook will cause a commotion os soon as pub
lished, and will doubtless involve its author iu
some hall dozen lights. He is unsparing in his
expose, which his position as member of the
Confederate Senate gave him ample opportuni
ties of making. lie lashes certain Cabinet
ministers aud genera] officers severely, and does
not spare President Johnson or Federal com
manders. The book will prove vastly popular
from its independence, as well as from its gene
ral character, and be a valuable assistant to
future historians.
Most of the American settlers live around
Carlotta, a new village laid out by the colonists,
and named in honor ol the Empress. Carlotta
lies nine miles southeast from Cordova, in a
splendid section of country. As yet the town
boasts ot but three houses, if such they may be
called, being mere bamboo huts, but live or six
others are in course of construction. The best
and largest house belongs to General Price, is
built of bamboo, thatched with flag and stalks,
and contains two rooms. A grove of mango
trees near the casa afford a cool and inviting
retreat for the old soldier, and here he may be
found at all hours, seated upon a chair of his
own manufacture, entertaining his numerous
visitors, giving advice to settlers, cracking
jokes with old companions in arms, or giving
orders respecting the cultivation of liis planta
tion. Everything is of the most primitive de
scription, the chairs and tables being the Gen
eral’s own handiwork. General Price is not a
little of a “ Yank,” and is about as ingenious
and handy as any New Englander. Governor
Harris and the General are inseparable com
panions, living together until the Governor’s
house shall be completed.
The town is regularly laid out around a large
square, which is covered by a natural growth
of trees, among which is a grove of mangoes,
the most beautiful of shade trees, whose inter
lacing boughs and thick, glossy foilage com
pletely exclude the sun’s rays, affording a de
lightful retreat during the heat of tlie day.
Each member ot the colony is allowed one
town lot, if he be unmarried; if married he is
entitled to two lots. Thirty lots have been
taken up, and a number of others will be se
cured as soon as surveyed. In a few years Car
lotta will be the most pleasant town in Mexico.
It will be built after American style, with a de
gree' of beauty and comfort elsewhere unknown
in the Empire, and the society will be formed
from among the best educated families of tlie
South and West. The first and only American
lady in the towu is the wife of Dr. Wharton, of
Virginia. General Price’s family is expected to
arrive in the next steamer, and several other
families will make Carlotta their home within a
few weeks.
Colonists who arc heads of families are al
lowed a section of six hundred and forty acres
of land ; single men half that amount—the land
to be lotrated at the will of the settler. The
soil around Carlotta produces most wonder
fully. Sugar cane needs replanting but once in
fifteen years, and the caue is of a size never
dreamed of in the United States. After plant
ing no culture is needed, and the mills can be
kept going throughout the year. Spain always
considered her colonies mere dependencies to
add to her own wealth and greatness, suffering
them to produce or manufacture nothing that
might evenly indirectly compete with the pro
ducts and maufactures of the mother country.
Under this policy the culture of grapes was
prohibited in Mexico east of the city ; but, as
sugar and coffee could not be raised in Spam,
I heir culture was encouraged in Mexico. Cor
dova valley was the great coffee region of the
New VV orld, and to this day are the uncultivated
lands tilled with wild coffee, of the same kind
and quality as that raised upon the plantation's.
Sugar, in olden times, competed with coffee for
the trade ol Mexico, and this valley boasted as
large and magnificent sugar houses as any upon
the continent. In the immediate vicinity of
Carlotta are the ruins of haciendas of an extent
inmost fabulous, and the first cost of which
would appal the largest American planter. The
buildings upon the hacienda of San Miguel,
with the roads and bridges, must have cost
their owner over half a million of dollars, and
the improvements upon the hacienda Corrcl,
within two miles of San Miguel, were not made
for less than four hundred thousand dollars,
l/pon the first of these haciendas twelve hun
dred slaves were worked, and upon the latter
seven hundred. Little else than sugar was pro
duced upon these estates, and there are in the
valley over a dozen haciendas qf similar magni
tude. I hose lands arc in no \*se deteriorated,
and will produce as good cane as ever.
General Price is busy preparing for coffee,
corn and tobacco. He is an old tobacco raiser,
and thinks lie can show the natives a thing or
two in Ids line. The tobacco is of superior
quality, similar to that of Havana, and if prop
el ly cured will bring equally as high prices.
Hast Tennessee.— The Krlstol Gazett-, of
yesterday, says within the last week at least a
dozen famines, (among whom are those of
VVm. K Blair, .James W. Dead crick, Esq. and
Win. Morrison,) have sought refuge in our
town and vicinity from the lawless marauders
o LpperLast Tennessee; many of them the
oldest and most respectable -iltizens of the
Wtate men who took no aetlvelpart in the late
war, and to-day are quiet, inoffensive, peacea
ble, couttervative citizens, all concurring in the
statement that the course pursued by Governor
Hrownlow and his son, Colonel John Brown
low, had lirougb about this disregard for law
and <irdcr. No one Is prepared to appreciate
the affairs hi East Tennessee unless he can see '
the effects as we see them dally. We have in
our midst old, grey haired grandfathers, who
were waited upon by a hand of ruffian fiends in
human shape, and ordered to leave the State
immediately, or the lash and rope would heap
plied to them; all this, too, sanctioned by the
Executive of the State, directly or indirectly.
[From the National Intelligencer.
A Vivid and not Complimentary Sketch of
Congress.
People of the United States, be warned that
your demagogues arc again gambling for your
heritages of liberty, and your meeds of victory.
In tlie awful mime of God, they buy you and
they sell you in the halls of your Legislature,
and under the impious disguise of justice to all
men, pervert the functions of lawgivers to the
procurement of your abasement under the bar
baric feet of negroes. Some of them bankrupt
of a constituency of reasonable beings, would
enfraucliise an insensate rabble of negroes, and
by controlling them, vote themselves into life
long power to govern, to degrade and to defy
you. Others would convert the whole land
into a kingdom of hate, tlie reflection of their
own bitterness of soul, from past affronts and
sufferings, which they* were too cowardly to
punish and are too malevolent to forgive. Both
must have power of oppression, or lose the
only solace of their remorse, their disappoint
ment or their shame. They are said to be fa
natical ; believe it not. There is now a great
plot among them—a perfect method of mad
ness—iu which 110 detail is disproportioned, no
instrumentality distorted, no contingency un
counted by tlie characteristic enthusiasm and
sincere but fatal zeal of the fanatic. All is as
sober, as shrewd, as unconscionable and as
cold as ever sedition was planned, stratagem
contrived, or assassination canvassed, by the
desperate and monstrous usurpers of the dark
ages. There is not a fanatic in Congress. There
is uo Gerrit Smith, no Giddings, no Lcvejoy.—
There is Summer, with his scrap-book of fraud;
Stevens, vivid in every motion and look ot liis
contemptuous command to an associate, “to
liell with vourt conscience ;” Fessenden, the
restive, envious, but compulsory follower of
Sumner ; Wade, the blasphemous and brutal,
who dares to insult the prayers of Christians
by thanking their God, in open Senate, lor the
impending death of fellow Senators. Such are
examples of the *• fanatics.” As well class the
cold but delusive dexterity of tlie midnight
gaming board, with the impassioned but pre
posterous earnestness of tlie mourner’s bench,
as the soulless ratiocination of these men’s
politics with the honest but unreasonable fervor
of the John Browns, the Giddingses, and the
Lovejoys of a former day.
There can not now be’ Abolitionists, because
there is nothing to abolish. This extraordinary
pro-negro movement conducted in the now ob
solete, but still stirring language of the old agi
tators—in the splendid imagery and ravishing
sentiment of universal freedom—the very poetry
of polities in all ages—is nothing in the world
but a fraud—a fraud upon tlie negroes, who are
never to have freedom in the suffrages proposed
for them; a fraud upon the white men who
make the constituencies of those who persuade
them to believe that justice is the motive ; a
fraud upon that noble soldiery who pledged,
in tlie lightning and storm of battle, even the
very, enemy before them, by every flash of their
guns, the perpetuation of tlie Constitution of
their fathers, the indissolubility of fraternal
bonds, and the dignity of the Anglo-Saxon
raee ; and a fraud upon mankind who, through
out the world, are called to witness and con
jured to believe that philanthropy and justice
are the public objects of such action.
This stupendous fraud is practiced upon the
public to cover a mere scheme for preserving
the reins of power in the hands of a junto, who
proceed upon two postulates, viz: (1.) Self
government is a failure, and the strongest wills
must inevitable rule. (2.) We have the power
now, and must keep it at all hazards. Prudence,
indeed, would prevent them undertaking so gi
gantic and desperate a crime, even for the re
ward of unlimited tyranny, as deposing the
President, seizing the executive departments,
and inaugurating a provisional government, un
der which a constitution fitted to their convic
tions and objects would tie introduced to sup
plant tlxe republic; but it is in consonance with
ail history and acknowledged human nature,
that powerful chiefs would be driven to such a
revolt by an impending loss of control, if they
had really despaired of popular liberty. It is
well known that politicians of this class ha
bitually expose that despair in colloquial dis
course.
But there is a class—the despicable slaves of
these strong-willed projectors of our abase
ment—against whom we, as a people, could not
exaggerate our contempt. Without having any
power to relinquish, and without believing that
it is 110 use to save the Constitution, it would
be difficult to account for their motives in aid
ing, without reward and without credit, what
they must know to tie a conspiracy against tlie
; liberties of their constituents, but for their ob
vious and hourly smanifestations of sheer mean
ness of spirit. That they reliiJt to follow such
j distinctly culpable leaders is noisy of proof in
: their expostulations, their entreaties, their
never-ending explanations, disclaimers, »&e.,
j publicly made, and more strikingly still hi the
! private objurgation of the whole class in eou
| ference, in society, on tlie street, at hotels,
; through tlie press, and wherever meu areae
i eustomed to lie voluble in defining their pecu
liar circumstances and motives, to qualify cow
ardice for the public tolerance. But again and
again and again the sardonic rod of Stevens, or
the silken lash of Sumner, is shaken with con
fident and justifiable audacity over their heads,
i never idly, blit always opportunely, when they
j cower into tlie silence and subserviency which
j befit the weak when menaced in tlie intolerable
i gleam of a master’s eye. Such men visit tlie
“ other end of tlie avenue,” and abashed by tlie
! mute but piercing look of him who is com
| polled to search oiit the nerve of friends of the
| Constitution, go away exalted with tlie rcsoln
j tion of manliness, and big with a revived sense
j of the power and favor of tlie people, only to
j wilt into weakness and moral obtuseness when
the master spirits of the Capitol dart tlieir ac
! ensing glauccs at them.
The Radical Programme—The Ukase of
Wendell Phillips.
Wendell Phillips lia3 issued liis rescript to
the Radicals in Congress. Here is the pro
gramme which lie marks out for tlieir adop
tion :
“ Our true policy’ is tiiis: Let, Congress plain
ly announce its belief that no State lately in
rebellion is fit to be re-admitted to Congress.
Let it lay down the principle that no one shall
ever be admit ed except it establishes universal,
or at least impartial suffrage, and then let Con
gress adjourn. Every day it continues in ses
sion jeopards this great cause. It may be
! bought, bullied or deceived. All tends that
way while it is in session, exposed to adminis
trative influence. Once adjourned, let the lines
be distinctly drawn, and go to work to meet
j 1868 in earnest; the interval iietwcen now and
the next elections, State, National and Presi
dential, is none too long for tlie work. Tlie
| treason of President Johnson, and the impos
j sibility of impeaching him, leaves no hope of
! any earlier settlement. It is just As well, and
j much safer, to acknowledge this. To adjourn
| and go to the people on this issue is saving
! time. In this way, spite of the President, the
! whole fruit of tlie war may yet be saved. With
tlie lines distinctly drawn, tlie tight above-board
and acknowledged—the issue fairly presented,
and every Congressman stumping his own
State, the nation may yet be founded and built
up on impartial and absolute justice. Our New
! England air will save some of our Senators at
! least from the compromise malaria of Pennsyl-
I vania avenue.
“ Any other course—drifting about in astorm
S of constitutional amendments, pilot blinded or
I drugged, and rudder unshipped—allows timid
I and heedless Senators to put 11s, bound hand
and foot, into the hands of the enemy, under
j pretense of being practical statesmen. Any
! other course runs the risk of giving us another
| ten years of just such dislocated, discordant
I and perilous national life as wc have passed
; through since 1856.. Adjourn Congress, then.
Let every member turn himself into witness,
teacher and drill-master; and let our bugle call
bo, no State admitted at present, and none ever
admitted, which has the word ‘ white,’ or the
recognition of race in its statute books.”
Liberte, Egalite, Fratsruite.
The colored people are now all emancipated,
and the Civil Rights bill makes them tlie equals
of the whites before tlie law. Liberty and
Equality being thus secured, Fraternity is to
be established; and the Conference of the
African Methodist Episcopal Church, Bishop
Payne presiding, has shown that it is willing.
A white brother asked for ordination, audit be
came necessary for the Conference to say
i whether it would receive him or not. There
I was some opposition, but it was warmly ad
; vocatcd by some of the leading clergymen.—
■ We extract from the report in Forney’s paper,
which is now the “ organ ” of tlie colored peo
' pie;
Rev. Jeremiah Thomas thought its expedien-
I cy in the South was the question that we should
consider.
Rev. J. J. Herbert said that our church was
known as the African Methodist Episcopal
! Church, and wc should look at the name. And
I the great question to be decided was, will the
two colors work with our people ? Mr. Her
bert finally said he was in lavor of it.
Rev. James Reed said lie welcomed the day
to see white men knocking at out doors while
we were knocking at theirs ; let us throw them
wide open and bid them come in, and show
tiiis country that we don’t disrespect a man for
liis color.
Rev. William H. Waters said lie was happy to
witness this scene—to have a white brother,
educated,- polished, and with ail untarnished
eputation, wishing to east liis lot among us.
Several ministers spoke at some length, some
of whom said this was not so new after all.—
We had white members in New York, Ohio,
Illinois, Indiana and California.
Rev. Richard Parker said that in former days
white men all had horns and black men had
none, therefore colored men feared them; but
inasmuch as the Civil Rights bill and tlie con
stitutional amendment had sawed off tlieir
liorns, lie would say yes, let them come, and
let us show them that we always did love white
men, but they did not love us. The vote being
taken, it was passed unanimously.
The Bishop then said that our action in tiiis
case placed us ahead of any Methodist Church
in the New World, to which several said amen,
and a general rejoicing was manifested.
Rev. Mr. Anderson, of the Baptist Church,
was introduced to tlie Conferenee, and said lie
was pleased to see the spirit manifested in this
august bodv in not ignoring any race or color,
lie wanted "white men to come in with 11s, and
then make them colored or they make us white.
Causes of Cholera.— Dr. J. G. Webster
delivered a lecture ou Monday evening in New
York on the phenomena, causes, mode of pro
pagation and contagious character of cholera.
The disease, he said, is seldom known to attack
persons of good constitutions and correct
habits. But there were predisposing causes of
cholera, which ought not to be overlooked.—
An atmosphere loaded with animal affluvia
was one of the elements by which the disease
was developed. Tlie abodes of tlie poor, crowd
ed with the vicious, intemperate and squalid,
were strongholds of the pestilence. Besides,
persons exhausted by au excessive amount of
physical or mental labor, artisans and working
girls who followed sedentary occupations, and
the large class debilitated by tlie use of medi
cines, by continual or occasiouai sickness, by
drinking tea, eoffec or liquor, were all predis
posed to take the cholera.
At New Orleans General Canby has issued an
order explanatory of the President’s proclama
tion, and says it do«t not suspend martial law.

PRO MEMORIA.
BY WII.I.IAM SCIIMCELE.
Cause, Localization, Diffusion, Prevention,
and Treatment of the Asiatic Cholera.
I. CAUSE.
‘ The Asiatic Cholera is a miasmatic or conta
gions disease. This is too general y recognized
and admitted to require any funli r proof. One
infected person may carry the disi >se to a place
till then entirely free from it, and ’ iffuse it over
. the whole neighborhood ; whence again it may
spread, by similar propagation, through pa
tients, over a whole 'country or continent.
This involves, hi; necessary implication, that
the cause of the cholera reproduces itself in every
patient, and is thins multiplied a. d propafltsted.
Now, the poyter of reproduction n£4 proba
tion of their qwn species is an attribute belong
ing exclusively to living organise.
Hence, it follows, with eertaiAHj—that
THE CAUSE » IF THE LIV
ING ORGANISM OR I’ARASITI^^k
Tiiis deduction agrees r all
d>filed
the
I"-
thus: Mr
cause where we find uniform ef
fects, viz : IN the coat of the small
intestines. There we uniformly meet the
primary and main symptoms, or lesions, pro
duced by the cause of the cholera, which may
be explained as follows: In tiie chyle of the
said portion of the alimentary tube, the para
sites, or tlieir seeds or germs, find a ready pre
pared and rich nutriment, and all other requi
sites for their vigorous growth and develop
ment, as well as for their speedy reproduction
and multiplication. Being foreign bodies, they
cause, by their irratiting presence, and by the
catalytic influence of tlieir organs, chemical
processes of growth and development, a high
degree of inflammation in the mucous coat of
the small intestines, from which, by physiolo
gical necessity, all other symptoms of the cho
lera result.
'III. DIFFUSION.
To reach tlie mucous coat, of the intestinal
tube, there is 110 other way for tlie parasites, or
tlieir seeds, but to be carried thither with
the food. Tiiis is self-evident.
But how may tlie cholera parasites, or their
seed, get on or into our food ? In the absence
of all direct observations, we must and can
satisfactorily answer this question by analogy.
We know that certain other parasites, which
cause the putrefaction of dead bodies, reach the
lat ter by being carried on the vapors of warm air.
Thus, therefore, may tlie cholera parasites, or
their seed, be equally carried on the valors
of warm aik, and deposited on our food, or
other objects coming in their way. This agrees
with and explains the universally admitted mias
matic or contagious nature of tlie cholera and
all otherwise inexplicable phenomena connected
with its diffusion.
(The far-fetched and complicated theory of
Professor Pettenkofer, assuming the air, (as
such, not vapors,) and the human blond, as the
■media for carrying the infection to the intestines,
and ascribing to gases, which cannot, be organic
bodies, the exclusively organic power of repro
ducing themselves, is, to say the least, very un
philoßophical.)
The original parasites of the cholera, generat
ed in the hot and luxuriant swamps of Southern
Asm, may he borne on the vapors of warm cur
rents ol air, coining from those swamps, over
the'suiTOiuuling country, aqd, being deposited
on, or adhering to, the food of the inhabitants,
or lodging in the month, be carried, as before
stated, with tlie food, into the alimentary tube,
and cause the disease, as before described. Being
reproduced in great numbers, they an their
seeds will be carried with the evacua
tions of the bowels, out of the intestinal
tube, into the open air.
■ Being thus brought into tlie open air, the
parasites, or tlieir seeds, may be carried oN the
very vapors arising from the excrements
OF cholera PATIENTS, and-on the vapors of
the surrounding warm air, through the vicinity,
as far as such vapors may lie carried, and tie
deposited on, or adhere teq any articles of food,
or the mucous coats of the mouths of persons,
wifli which they come in contact, and then
carried, witH the food, into tlie small intestines,
as before described.
IV. PREVENTION.
. Hence it follows that the cholera cause can
hot be djffusdd if proper care is taken to disin
fect THE EXCREMENTS OF CHOLERA PATIENTS
IMMEDIATELY UPON THE DISCHARGE FROM THE
BOWELS, BEFORE THE VAPORS ARISING FROM
THEM CAN SPREAD THE INFECTION AROUND.
Tiiis may be secured by keeping fresh chlori
nated lime in the vessels used by the patients,
in order that the chlorine gns, which is con
stantly set free from tlie lime, may meet the
in fectious vapors of the excrements as quickly
as they are formed, and disinfect them, by de
stroying the parasites.
11 this rule is applied on all sea-vessels, on
which eases ol Asiatic cholera make their ap
pearance, there will be no danger of a further
diffusion of the parasites, either on such vessels
or by the persons coming from them ; provid
ed that sufficient time has elapsed between the
last case of cholera happening 011 such vessel
and her entering port to preclude the supposi
tion that some persons might carry tlie infec
tion with them before its full development.
The excrements should never be permitted to re
main standing about, but should be speedily
thrown into privies, after being first thoroughly
disinfected, by free additions of chlorinated, lime
water. Especial attention should also be given to
the frequent and thorough disinfection of privies.
It follows further that we may disinfect our
own alimentary canal by remedies which may
he sufficiently powerful to destroy minute par
asites, yet not powerful enough to injure our
mucous coats. , Such remedies are, for instance,
I all the strong mineral acids, particularly sulphu
ric acid. The last named acid may be taken
with cold water, say two or three drops in a
tumbler full of cold or ice water, so as t o render
the water slightly acidulated. If we take, a
tumbler full of such acidulated water, (which
may he sweetened to tlie taste,) an hour or two
after every meal , it will effectually destroy what
ever parasites, or their seeds, may have been car
ried into our digestive tube, aiid serve at the.
same time, as a pleasant stomachic, improving
our digestion during Hot weather. Children
should, of course, take proportionately smaller
quantities. If this simple, cheap and pleasant
drink is freely used as described, in any locali
ty iu which cholera lias made its appearance,
and if, at the same time, every precaution is ta
ken to prevent tlie diffusion of the infection, by
disinfecting the excrements of cholera patients,
there is every reason to expect a speedy extinc
tion of the disease in such locality, if tlie in
habitants of Southern Asia, who are subject to
the occasional incursions of the cholera para
sites as above described, could he prevailed
upon to use the simple preventive remedies
just named, they would not only effectually pro
tect themselves, but also prevent the diffusion
of the epidemic over other portions of the
world.
V. TREATMENT.
For the. rational treatment of actual cases of
the Asiatic cholera the following directions re
sult from the preceding exposition, and appear
to he self-evident os to their appropriateness :
1. The cause must be removed.
This is readily accomplished in the manner
already indicated for disinfecting the alimenta
ry tube. The patient needs only to take a. tum
bler full of ice (nr cold) water acidulated by two
or three drops of sulphuric acid, every half or
one hour, for a few hours, to he certain of hav
ing completely destroyed all parasites within
his digestive tube v
2. The same remedy will also tend to heal, as
speedily and efficiently as may be, the inflam
matory and relaxed condition of the. iiiucous
coats of the bowels, induced by the presence
and development of the parasites.
3. in order to prevent, or allay, the danger
i otis secondary symptoms induced by sympathy
or reflex action of the nervous system—viz:
the cramps, etc.—the patient should take simul
taneously with the other remedies several small
doses of morphia, say one twelfth of a grain of
sulphate of morphia at a dose, which may be
dissolved in the acidulated drink before men
tioned, and thus takeu with it.
4. And, finally, to prevent or remove the
state of collapse, resulting from aggravated suf
ferings ot the patient, one of the speediest and
easiest obtained remedies is a table spoonful of
brandy or good whisky, taken with each dose ot
the acidulated drink recommended, with which
it may also be mixed.
It is confidently expected that this direct, safe
and agreeable treatment, if applied not entirely
too late, will restore every cholera patient..
It is also probable that on the basis of the
preceding exposition of the cause, localization,
and diffusion ol the cholera —which applies also
in its essential points to other epidemics whose
parasitical cases are localized in the bowels, such
as yellow fever —other equally’, or still more ap
propriate preventive and curative remedies will
be suggested and applied.
Disinfection and Deodokization. —Dr.
Herbert Baker, the successful competitor for
the Hastings Prize Essay, for 1865, was led, by
a series of observations and experiments on this
subject, to the following conclusions:
1. For tlie sick-room, free ventilation, when
it can be secured, together with an even tem
perature, is all that can be required.
2. For rapid deodorization and disinfection,
chlorine is the most effective known
3. For steady and continuous effect, ozone is
the best agent known.
4. In the absence of ozone, iodine, exposed
tn the solid form to the air, is the best.
5. For the deodorization and disinfection of
fluid and semi-fluid substances, undergoing de
composition, iodine is the best.
6. For the deodorization and disinfection of
solid bodies that cannot, be destroyed, a mixture
of powdered chloride of zinc, or powdered sul
phate of zinc with saw-dust, is best. After this
a mixture of carbolic acid and saw-dust ranks
next iu order, and following on that, wood
ashes.
7. For the deodorization and disinfection of
infected articles of clothing, «fcc., exposure to
heat at 212 deg. Falir. is tlie only true method.
8. For the deodorization and disinfection of

“Curses, Like Chickens, Come Home to
Roost.” —A daughter of Win. Griffith, of
Somerset county, Pennsylvania, recently eloped
with a full-blooded negro man, who had been
living at her father’s house, witli a view to
matrimony. Mr. G. is a full-blooded Black
Republican—has voted the Abolition ’ticket for
the last twenty-two years, aud has often said
that a “ negro was plenty good enough for a
poor white girl.” The daughter, having confi
dence in her father’s wisdom, imbibed his
teachings, and attempted to put his principles
in practice. The parties were pursued and
caught—the young lady taken home, and the
negro imprisoned ! The father, it seems, did
not wish to carry out the Radical programme
of a “ perfect equality of races under the law,”
in his own family relations, and, therefore, put
his veto upon the miscegenation movement of
his daughter. “ As he hath sown, so also shall he
reap.” ’Tis too late to repair damages now.
Verdict of the jury, “served him right.”

Silence and Sadness.
There nre many who imagine that a silent
tongue indicates a barren mind, but it often
happens that thought and emotion are more ac
tive when they do not seek expression in
speech. The aphorism that “still waters run
deep” is no less true in its application to affairs
of the mind than it is to those of the heart.
lIARKXBSS.
You think, because I do not frame
My thoughts as others do, to burn,
My spirit’s cold, my passion, tame,
My heart an urn;
Because my dull lips rarely smiio
You think no light ere beams within.
Perchance that all is stained with guile,
And dark witli sin.
You know not what it costs of pain,
To press back to their swelling source
Life’s purest promptings, and restrain
Their earnest force;
Nor can another mind e’er know
Tlie weary weight that rests on mine,
Where hope's dull embers dare not glow,
Nor give a sign.
No, no; wliate’er my iieart may feel,
Howe’er my soul may seek to rise
To Holder life anu deeds more leal,
And fairer skies;
My prisoned thoughts must wear ttieir chain,
I dare not break the binding spell,
I must endure tlie constant pain
And torture fell.
And when I sit in silent mood,
(Irspeak in words that have no cheer,
You think I’m cold and dark, and should
Be icss austere.
T would not have you think me more
Than what 1 am and what I seem,
For all my hope is dead, and o’er
Its grave I dream.
Be blithe, lie happy : your warm heart
Should never know the gloom of mine;
My life’s serenest, fairest part
Would darken thine.
Be blithe, be happy; and when L
Pass darkly to an unmonrn grav£
One tear, one sob that I should die,
Is all I crave. D. C.

i LECTURE BY JAMES T. BRADY AT COOPER IN
ST ITUTE.
I Tlie large ball of Cooper Institute was well
j filled last evening by a respectable and intelli
j gent audience, convened for the purpose of
i listening to a lecture by James T. Brady, the
I proceeds o( which were to be devoted to the re
! construction of tin- Orphan Asylums of Cliarles
j ton, 8. C., under the direction of Bishop Lynch,
j The alcoves at the hack of tlie stage wefe neatly
| curtained with American lings, and a banner
| with the inscription, “ Union War Prisoners’
; Association, 'Ol and ’O2. Gratitude and Htt
inanity.”
Shortly after eight o’clock the invited guests,
comprising many of the leading clerical, legal
and other public men of tlie city, were ushered
on to the. platform. When the lecturer of tlie
evening appeared lie was greeted with loud ap
plause, and, immediately stepping forward to
tlie lecturer’s desk, lie said :
Ladies and Gentlemen : Before I proceed
i to perforfti tlie task especially assigned to
for this evening, I wish to discharge another
task of delivering, at the request of a lady, a
i notice to the effect that the concert and baztar
j that was to have taken place in this'hull—for
: the same object for which you have assembled
; this evening—on Monday evening last, will
I come oil' on . Monday evening, April JO. I
dare say that in this audience (here are many
j who sympathize with the South, and who
1 regret .that they did not achieve their’ inde-
I pendenec. • Fortunately, it is not necessary for
i me to discuss any question involved in the
| late struggle, or any political topic of the
1 day. My task now is tlie tranquil and pleasant
i one of invoking for another cause your sympa
j thy; the pleasant task ot referring to the just
■ saying of Cicero, “ Men never resemble the gods
I so much as when doing good to their lellow j
creatures.” The lecturer then went on to state
the different thefnes of certain philosophers on i
j tiie natural condition of man and the common
attribute of sentient {icings—eombatlveness.
But these opinions are only quarrels about
words, not ideas, and tlie fact stands, men al
ways have had battles and always will have bat-
L ties. Mr. Brady then went on to give sketches
of the usages of war in ditlerent countries at
| different times, quoting, among others, from a
work by Buniberry, a Hungarian, who had late
ly traveled through Asia disguised as a dervish,
sketches of tlie custom of procuring regal favors
by the presents of captives taken in battle and
j human heads. lie referred, also, to the eus
| wins of the Romans, of making slaves of their
captive enemies and confiscating their lands;
| and also to tlie invasion of England by William
I the Conqueror, when tlie. lands were divided by
j that sovereign among his own people, and the
I Saxons made serfs, and that this was done not
1 ! only to prisoners of war, but to those captured
■ I in wlnvt. Hume calls “inroads” (raids). Tlie
j same spirit of inhumanity was evinced, he said,
1 j in the establishment by the French of the col
ony hi Algeria; by tlie English in India, New
: j Zealand, and later in .Jamaica ; and it lias been
j shown to be a fact that, whenever a people's
; liberties have been wrested from them hv force,
j the march of aggression has been invariably
signalized by footsteps of blood. He referred
j them to tlie example set by England, pretend*
j ing to bean enlightened country, receiving and
! adopting the tomahawk and scalping knife of
j tlie Indians in hotli her struggles with this
| country. Notwithstanding these evil features
; have ever marked warfare, (here are some
; instances of humanity worthy of note,
j Prisoners of war, who were killed by the
savages and enslaved by the people a little
j more refined, were made, in the Middle Ages,
i the subjects of pecuniary ransom ; later came
j tlie custom of exchanging ; but, lie said, above
| all things to mitigate tlie rancor and severity of
] men in deadly conflict, came the flag of truce.
I [Applause.] Tlie flag of truce, a white little
beacon, a spark of divine sum on tlie Woody
I field of battle, coming in tlie hand of peace—
j peace, glad to find again a spot of earth on
i which to rest—coming as the dove to the ark—
! coming in the hand of peace, before whom tlie
trophies of armies, the bad ambitions and ex
ploits of men must be happily exploded. He
then referred to the system of parole, which to
violate would load a person with infamy and
contempt. He was happy to say that amid the
grim records of war there were gleams of light
and beauty which cheered the heart and made
tlie very soul to feci that our Maker does not
intend that we shall lie continually at war. lie
j then went on to relate instances of humanity
J shown on tlie battle field, reciting tlie well
known anecdotes of tlie conduct of Rudolph, of
] Ilapsbnrg, and of Sir Philip Sydney. lie rc-
I lated incidents of humanity during tlie Crimean
j war, remarking that Dr. Thompson was in
stanced as having gone on to the battle field
] after the battle of Alma and dressing tlie
| wounds of friend and foe alike, and referring to
, Miss Florence Nightingale’s services during
j that campaign, lie wondered that one instance
j only was mentioned of the treatment above rc
j ferred to, as lie understood that during our late
1 war the doctors on both sides invariably treated
j friend and foe alike. He alluded very face-
I tiously and pointedly, to the Sclileswig-Hol
] stein imbroglio in relating incidents of liumani
; ty there exhibited. Coming down to our late
j civil war, he said lie wished the American
j people—North, South, East and West—could
I take ' one single view of the question. The
j European Governments had nothing to do
! with it. It was a quarrel among our
selves, and we settled it ourselves ; and we were
. so majestic that iu the very beat of the. struggle
j either side could whip any nation that would
dare to interfere. | Loud applause.] He was
sick and tired of hearing men who had never
smelt powder making comparisons between the ,
j valor and courage and endurance exhibited by j
! the two armies. He honored the South, as he [
; would honor any people, however mistaken in j
j their ideas, who showed their sincerity by gal-, j
I lant conduct. He then went on to speak of the
i particular evils attendant on civil war, but lie
j preferred to look away and see how all sections I
] came to relieve the gloom thrown over the !
land, referring eloquently and feelingly to the
J untiring and disinterested efforts of the Sisters |
j ot Charity and Mercy, who, like inspired me- j
\ teors, shod a divine effulgence on the places
where they ministered. [Loud applause.] Mr. j
! Brady then referred to the beginning of the |
j war, the battle of Bull run, at which somebody j
I got whipped and some taken as prisoners of |
' war, paying a glowing compliment to the late !
! General Michael Corcoran, and noting the fact j
j that the members of tlie Association present |
] were the prisoners who were taken to Ricli-
I mond, and, after having been exhibited to the |
j people, were confined in the old tobacco facto- [
I ry, thence to Libby prison, thence to the jail I
| at Charleston, and thence to Castle Pinckney, f
l It was at this latter place, he said, they had tlie j
good fiirtune to make the acquaintance of that
excellent priest and great philanthropist, Bishop j
Lynch. [Applause.] It would be offensive to j
tlie Bishop, he said, to relate in detail the re
cord of his benevolence to those prisoners;
how he provided for their comfort in every !
possible way, and even sent beds to many of i
! them who had not enjoyed a good night’s rest |
! for several months. lie referred then to sever
i al amusing and pleasing incidents which oceur
) red during the stay of these prisoners at the I
| South, and evidences of benevolent feeling on j
| the part of several residents of the South.
He then alluded to the founding of the or
phan asylum, for girls, by Bishop England, in
; 1880, and the asylum for the boys, by Bishop
Lynch, in 1855, both of which institutions suf
! sered in the conflagration at' Charleston, and
from which the beds spoken of were taken by
the Bishop and devoted to the use of tlie pris
oners. It requires now a considerable amount
ot money to rebuild and repair those institu
tions, and it is for that object tlie Union war
prisoners ask your aid. Tlie lecturer alluded
to tlie posters which had been distributed, con
cerning this lecture, and, on looking at one
from a distance, lie could only discern the word
reconstruction and his own name. He won
dered if he had committed himself to lecture on
political reconstruction or on any political
question which an insane session of Congress
had made as fiat as the reports of the cholera,
which, if does come, will bring one blessing
it will put a stop to the discussion of the sub
ject. [Applause.] If, he said, tlie soldiers can
succeed in this undertaking, they will found a
a building which will stand as a monument to
magnanimity on one hand and a soldier’s just
appreciation on the other; and such institu
tions will do more to recontsruet the nation
than all the demagogues, rabid fanatics and
traitors to the Constitution could do for years.
[Continued applause.]

Convulsions in Children.— The following
valuable paragraph from the pen of William IL
White, M. D., is taken from the April numbe,
of the Memphis Median and Surgical Monthly
It should be preserved by mothers:
Spasms in children, especially if dependent
upon accumulation oi indigestible food, can of
ten be satisfactorily and quickly mitigated by
the amethetic effect of chloroform—repeated if
returning consciousness brings with it a return
of tlie. spasms. The treatment, of several cases
in this manner gives confirmation of the com
parative safety and pleasing results. When
emesis cannot be readily accomplished by full
doses of emetics, assisted by warm water and
other adjuvants it will often freely follow re- tt
turning conscioussness, thereby, besides its
quieting and restorativo nature, removing the
original and continuous cause.
