CARPET-BAGGERS, ETC.
The New York Sun has a saucy editorial
upon Carpet-Baggers. It praises them
loftily, and, in the same ratio that honey is
distilled upon such itinerants, gall and
wormwood fall upon the native people of
the South. Hear tins:
« Bona fide emigrants from the North
and West are needed in the South to repair
the waste of the war. Our merchants, man
ufacturers, agriculturists, and business
men of all classes, should go there with
carpet-bags lined with greenbacks, and
heads full of ideas, and infuse among the
people of that region those habits of enter
prise and economy which have made the
North and West so prosperous and pow
erful The South needs a spirit of self
reliance, that she may thereby attain a gen
uine independence, and thus emancipate
herself, and especially the old dominating
white race, from the worst of all serfdom,
the habit of everybody relying upon some
body else to do everything for them. Let
these emigrants, then, resolve to stay in the
South, minding their own business, culti
vating good fellowship with the old set
tlers, and voting as they please, while they
accord to all others, white and black, the
right to do likewise.’’
“ Bona fide emigrants,” with money and
brains will be welcome; but before coming,
they should relieve themselves of any un
due conceit. A good many came here, just
after the war, to teach Southern planters
how to make rice and cotton. They lost
their money and had their conceit pricked
like a wind-bladder. They found out, at
last, that the South was not to be taughl
such things by them, but that they them
selves had much to learn and unlearn.—
Those who left went back, in numerous in
stances, empty-handed. Those who re
main are glad, betimes, to take whate l , ei
employment is offering. Last year, in spite
of an accursed Government, the fruit of
carpet-bag ideas, the people of the South
surpassed the haughty North by f14,000,-
000 in the value ol' exports. The Herald
has shown, too, that the Southern exporta
tion enriched the country while that of the
North served to impoverish it. Take away
the villany you have imposed upon us by
your swarms of carpet-baggers and we
shall show yod what it is to be “ self-reli
ant.” But even with these ineuU we have
performed miracles •of industry and saved
the land from bankruptcy. Does the Sun
really think that such splendid results
have been achieved, under serious disad
vantages, by sluggards and idlers? It
bears the brand of absurdity on its face,
and the luminous editor of the Sun must
have been hard run for a sensation when
he made such a ridiculous charge. By all
means, if emigrants so will it, let them
stay in the South and “ mind their own
business.” But your genuine carpet-bag
ger would die in a month if lie did not
meddle in some obnoxious way.
The Sun goes on in this bombastic
fashion:
“ The results of the war have taken a
good deal of the arrogance and conceit out
of the so-called Southern chivalry. The
boast that one Southerner is equal to three
Northerners, which used to make cravens
of Northern statesmen, and even imposed
upon popular credulity, lias been silenced
by the thunder of a hundred battle fields.”
In the aggregate, one good Southern sol
dier did prove more than a match for three
ordinary Northerners, as a hundred battles
testify; but when to the three Yankees were
added several Irishmen, Germans or ne
groes, the South fell back overpowered by
weight of meat and not by superior valor.
We dislike to rip up an old grievances un
der Grant's reign of peace, but the Sun
will have it so.
The Sun continues :
“ So has it fared with another delusion,
that, in order to secure prosperity at home
and secure the national credit abroad, we
must hail cotton as king. The war has
demonstrated that States based on free
labor can bear an immensely greater finan
cial strain than States based on slave
labor, and that diversity of industrial pur
suits is the true source of national wealth.
The North emerged from the late conflict
not, only victorious in arms, but rich and
prosperous, while the South stood a shat
tered monument of ruin.”
Cotton may not be King, but according
to tiie late Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.
McCulloch, he was and is a right royal
fellow, inasmuch as he saved the finances
of the blessed Union, one year after an
other, from everlasting smash. True the
North emerged from the war rich, and the
South a desolation. Jlut those idlers the
Sun frivolusly prates about are building
up their empire and will, before the next
century dawns, require of the North
modification of its boastful estimate. We
have had our day of ruin. It is your turn
next.
The Sun does not appear satisfied with
the vain boast of material gloryit ven
tures to assert tin? surpassing power of
Northern intellect, thus:
“The offensive cffigma which the North,
and especially the Democracy of the North,
so long accepted, that the South furnished
nearly all the statesmanship of the country,
has been exploded by the experiences of the
last eight or ten years. No political party
need now look to the old ruling element in
the South for its foremost leaders. They
can find better materials here among them
selves.”
If the infamies, the crimes, the blunders,
the riot and the corruption of the last eight
years are signs of statesmanship , then indeed
the North has grounds for jubilee. But
the masses are gradually awakening to the
idea that the noble science of State-craft
has been polluted and not illustrated bv
the results of the last eight years. One of
the most darling and persistent efforts of
Northern “statesmanship” has been to
silence the voices of the “ ruling element in
the South and, this day, the pettifoggers
who sit in Grand Council take special
pain® try fate VmOc frtnn TT Tarry TnP g ITST TOOTi,
the glorious intellects, still the pride of
the South and, In genuine statesmanship,
still the superiors of the log-rolling divini
ties of the North.
We have made energetic efforts to induce
emigration of the right sort. Aud when
any well-disposed or sensible Northern
man comes in our midst he has no cause to
complain of the reception awaiting him.
But we do not want any more “ carpet
baggers,” in the common acceptation of the
term. We hate them, we abominate them,
and we areglad to get rid of them in any
peaceable way. Even the meanest one of
them contrives to get along pretty much as
he expects. But, if the North insists upon
sending forth her objectionable hordes,
simply because she has the right to do so,
the South will expreise another right—the
right of selecting her own company. \
The South has been defeated in battle;
but she will once more emerge as a con
testant in the arena of reason and on the
fields of industry. We have to thauk our
Northern brethren for ruins and ashes.
But in the ruins no bats and owls gibber
to the moon, crooning over a solitude
which has no hope; and beneath the ashes
our ancient fires are still alive and still
immortally aglow.
“ IMPRACTICABLES
When a Southern editor preserves a fervid
devotion to Principle he is dubbed an “ im
practicable” by the Northern Press, and,
shame upon them, there are not wanting
certain of his own Southern brethren to
join in this yelping refrain. The Virginia
election has very plainly shown the lolly
of abandoning principle at the bidding of
so-called “ practical men.” . The Richmond
Examiner , at the eleventh hour, consented,
under tremendous pressure, to join the
.< Conservative Republican ’ scheme. The
editor and his patrons have had their dose
of it, as the following vivid lament abun
dantly proves:
“ Think of it! gallant and chivalrous and
well-meaning men, born and reared here,
and of all honorable propensities, bending
at last under the burning rays of oppres
sion, and seeking with panting bosom the
cooling wave of Federal power! Those
who faced death on the battle-field, fainting
on the toilsome retreat through the desert,
and throwing off beneath the fierce blaze of
the sun the cherished mantle of tlieir prin
ciples which they had only wrapped, the
closer about them under the chill and roar
ing blasts of four Northern winters. But
thus it is; courage is more common than
fortitude—-and General Longstreet and
Marshal Ney, the bravest of the brave, were
the first to prove deficient in passive en
durance.
“ Then of course there was a lot who had
taken up the line of march to the Walker
Republicans, who were of a different kind
of stuff—men utterly devoid of sensibility—
that pooh-pooh sentiment —believe that
Truth is bread-and-meat —and who call
themselves Practical. Men. They do not
love princiDle ; it bores them ; and they are
well pleased when better men ridicule
honor, and brand all who talk about duty
or principle as ‘ irnpracticables.’ These
men were hot to get among the Walker
fleslipots. They do not see their way now.
Indeed they are by no means bad enough
to become Wells Republicans. They are
keenly disappointed at the turn things have
taken. , m .
“ The Virginians will stand off. Ihe
most credulous of them are now satisfied
that we have been fearfully swindled. We
shake off the dust of our feet, and leave the
Federal ante-chamber where we have cring
ed, and waited, and bought and sold—and
been sold — tiflice.
“ The whole thing stinks. The test oath
business is a chef il'mvore of false dealing
that beats the morals of Indian diplomacy
as far as the coloring of Giorgione or Paul
Cagliari excels the meretricious varnish of
the French Academy.
“We look well; adopted an infamous
constitution by 200,000 majority, and elect
ed a Republican ticket; and the coin which
was received in payment, which was plain
ly stamped with the device of Expurgation,
turns out not to be genuine gold—but a
base counterfeit. But in cheating us out
of the election, they have left us at least a
compact Virginia sentiment.”
Witty.— Col. Tom August, of Freder
icksburg, Va., lately deceased, was a great
wit in his day. We learn that, being on
the Broad Rock race course, he held stakes
for several parties, some of whom had bet
on Col. Alexander’s celebrated racer, Red
eye. Alexander’s horse, as usual, was
about winning the race, when August, see
ing around him a goodly company of the
legal profession, got off the following:
“If Red-eye wins,” said Tom, “I do not
intend to pay over the stake 3-” “ Why
not?” asked the intended bystanders ex
citedly. “ Because, gentlemen, you are
betting on a certainty.” No such thing!
how the devil do you make that out?”
cried the now indignant, sportsmen. ‘‘Strict
ly on legal principles: id certum eat quod
cerium Beddi’potest t" 1
Gone Up.— For four months Wendell
Phillips has periodically poured vitriol
upon Grant’s hide. We see the result.
Phillips has conquered Ulysses and
brought him to terms. Hitherto, the
wrathful Wendell has characterized the
President as a “dolt,” a “horse-jockey,”
an “ idiot,” etc., etq. Now for a pipe of
praise. A man like Phillips does not
blackguard a man like Grant, when the
granite sphinx turns to soft putty in the
, devil’s claw.
Beautiful !—The “ Loil ” are splitting
up everywhere. Even in Maryland they
arc at loggerheads. The Baltimore Ameri
can clique, on one side, and Judge Bond’s
cabal, on the other, are exchanging senti
ments the reverse of complimentary. While
the Radicals in Maryland divide, the Demo
crats ought to break up and ask one of
these wings of Republicanism to lead them
to victory. Os course, they would be fools
to do so ; but the Conservative Republican
movement amounts to just this stupendous
blunder.
Hon. A. H. Stephens. — The Charleston.
Courier says, editorially, that the “ Hon. A.

immolated Mr. Greeley, of the Tribune .”

Our New York Correspondence.
New York, August 16.
The arrest ot Colonel Pratt, of Texas,
for offenses alleged to have been committed
.against the military forces of the United
States in that satrapy, and the proceedings
thus fat incident thereto, are important
and interesting, for many reasons. Judge
McCunn, in granting a writ of habeas cor
pus, and in his decision respecting the law
and the status of the prisoner, was un
questionably correct. The prisoner was
accused of being one of a party who forced
the guard, causing the death of one or
more of the soldiers who composed it, in
the State ,of Texas. The Judge decided
that this was an offense against the laws of
that State, and that before he could be sur
rendered by this State, lie must be duly de
manded from Governor Hoffman by the
chief executive authority of Texas. If the
Federal-authorities had arrested Col. Pratt
by the military power, confined him in a
fortress and sent him to Texas under mili
tary guard, there would have been a show
of consistency in their course. But claim
ing him as an offender against the military,
they procured his arrest by a'civil officer
and his incarceration in the county jail,
where, of course, he was in reach of the
State courts.
It will be seen at once, that the questions
at issue between Jinbjca. AWinoo. >—t m»i
®nni mriow are of the most vital charac
ter, far exceeding in their practical bearing
those out of which grew the late war.
Judge McCunn has shown every disposi
tion to maintain his position at all hazards,
and Sheriff O’Brien has tendered all the aid
in his power. But as has been too often
the case in the past seven years, while State
authorities have argued aud threatened, the
Federal authorities acted. General Grant
sent Marshal Barlow an autograph letter,
by virtue of which he retains forcible pos
session of his prisoner, and defies the arrest
of himself for contempt of court. Judge
McCuuu, in view of Grant’s interference
in the matter, has been urged to cause the
arrest of the President himself, should he
come within the jurisdiction, for com
plicity in Barlow’s offense of contempt
of court. Would’nt it be a grim joke to
lock Grant over night in the Tombs. As
I conclude this paragraph, Hearn that Col.
Pratt has been discharged.
Quite recently there has come under my
eye a leader in the Constitution alist, in
which a number of Democratic journals and
politicians were accused of desiring to put
the whole Democratic party under the
leadership of “ Conservative Republicans,”
with the purpose of making Mr. Chase the
next President. Mr. Belmont and the
World , of this city, are included in the cate
gory. I have the best authority for stating
that this is a mistake. A large number of
Democrats were inclined to favor Mr.
Chase’s nomination in 1868 ; but so rapid
do events move, that he is not thought
either desirable or available for 1872. Nor
do I know a Democrat who desires to see
Andrew Johnson elected to the Senate from
Tennessee. He is dangerous only to those
whose cause he champions. There, is a
certain reckless, clement who would be
pleased by his Mmiuatious, but they would
drive off more than they would attract.
Neither Mr. Belmont nor the World, as I
understand them, contemplate any political
action now or hereafter, that nitty in any
degree involve the abnegation of Demo
cratic principles, the rights of States, and
the security of the citizen, or the organiza
tion of the Democratic party. New leaders
will arise, new accessions will foe made, the
power of the party will receive a more
effective direction, and we shall have, in
due season, an old-fashioned Democratic
victory.
The paving of Broadway as far as Four
teenth street has been recently completed—
a work which was commenced two years
ago, and which since that time has been
delayed and interrupted by opposition on
the part of stage owners and others. The
new pavement is the Guidet —so-called
after the inventor, who was also the in
ventor of the Belgian pavement. It con
sists of pieces of Quincey granite, from
eight to twelve inches in lepgllr, three and
a half to four and a hair inches wide, and
nine inches in depth, and is considered su
perior to the old Russ pavement from the
fact that it is in narrower pieces, present
ing a greater number of edges, and also
because the trap rock used in the Russ
pavement was of a homogeneous stone, and
in consequence wore smooth, while the
granite being composed of different ele
ments, is not liable to the same objection.
From Bowling Green to Fourteenth street,
the pavement is estimated to rcaMt a length
of 63,000 yards, at the cost of about
$463,000.
A sensation this week, but not on ex
hibition, yet attracting curiosity of course,
are two Chinese merchants, who recently
arrived by the overland route —Clioy-Chey
and Sing Man. They are at the Metropoli
tan, and like Johnson of old, find their
Boswells who are in daily attendance upon
them, and show them round—to Stewarts,
Central Park, etc., eto.
The September number of the Atlantic
Monthly promises to contain an article
which will be one of no common interest,
being none other than a correct account, or
what claims to be a correct account, of the
separation between Lord and Lady Byron,
the true cause of which has never yet been
given to the public. No matrimonial quar
rel, perhaps, ever elicited such interest and
excited so much curiosity, which, until
now, has been unsatisfied, and the clearing
up of a subject in regard to which there
have been so many surmises, has been re*
served for the pen of an American writer
—Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe. While in
England, Mrs. Stowe visited Lady Byron,
who placed in her hands a detailed account
of the cause of her separation from her
husband, leaving it optional with Mrs.
Stowe when and how to give publicity to
the same. The recent publication, in this
country and in England, of the Countess
Guiccioli’s memoirs, in which the old scan
dals against Lady Byron are reiterated,
has made this a fitting moment, in the
judgment of Mrs. Stowe, for the publica
tion of the opposite side of the story.
The young lady who eloped with her
father’s coachman, has it seems, returned
to her parents, whither she was shortly
after followed by the bridegroom of her
choice. She, we understand has l>een once
inoTe admitted as a member of the house
hold, but not so with the coachman, he be
ing kept outside, while negotiations are
pending oil the subject of the relinquish
ment qf h|s bride; SIO,OOO having been of
fered him for her release, and public curi
osity is excited to prove whether, oil his
part, these terms will be accepted ; whether
the bride will thus- easily be given up;
whether lie will stand firm for better terms,
or whether their mutual affection has bound
them one to the other in bonds which
neither thousands nor tens of thousands
may sever; whether in the mean time, he
has resumed his duties as coachman we
have been unable to discover.
For Fall wear, mohair alpaca is undoubt
edly the best material, and for this a novel
ty in trimming will be satin striped or
plaided in gay colors, and also satin cords
in chintz colors, cut in narrow bias folds
for the headings and binding of ruffles; and
entire ruffles of this material will be placed
upon mohair and alpaca dresses, which
will thus present g very gay appearance.
Ladies who do not wish to trim with
colors, may appropriately bind the ruffles
With the same or use plaitiugs put on with
a cord to match the dress. A neat suit of
black alpaca has a round skirt trimmed
with a Spanish floitnee, a short skirt cuS
punier , and a tight fitting basque. The
basque and panier arc without ruffles, be
ing finished, instead, with a reverse plait
ing of alpaca, agd a double face of plaited
alpaca is worn in the of a sash. The
brightest Scotch plaids promise to be fash
ionable this Winter, and also Scotch trim,
ming upon plain colors, which will be
stylish for bonnets as well as dresses
Many complaints are made by stout per
sons of tfle fashions which now prevail—
doubleskirts, bouffant saches, and paniers—
giving still greater breadth, and tight
casaques disclosing the figure too plainly,
For such persons we would recommend a
drapery which covers the shoulder closely
and hangs loosely below, such as short loose
sacks without sleeves, baschliks and man
tillas. For stout persons, also, short dresses
are unbecoming, und should be worn to
touch the floor, and as a general rifle, folds
and flat trimmings should be worn in pref
erence to flounces or ruffles. The Fall
bonnets will differ but little from those
worn at present, except that they will be
somewhat more decided in character. The
necklace will be retained, but the sides will
be brought together under the chin, giving
more warmth and protection. Avery pret
ty novelty In hats is tfle floral fez, or
pouf hat, which is so thickly studded with
flowers that the frame is entirely conceal
ed. One is composed of blue forget-me
nots ; an aigrette is placed in front, and a
white blonde scarf which falls behind, is
brought over the face for a veil. Anothef,
the most unique, is the beetle wing fez, cov
ered with fine feathery grasses and moss,
amidst which are chameleon—winged bee
tles. A humming bird is perched on the
top, and the strings are of ribbon in imita
tion of striped grass. The newest way of
fastening the veil is with a beetle' or
some kind of insect attached to a pin
and put in the centre of the chignon at
the back where the ends meets. A
simple and a pretty costume for a little
girl consists of a white alpaca basquine,
the skirt gored, and trimmed with bias
folds of blue silk and blue and white fringe.
The basquine is ornamented with blue
buttons down the front, blue silk bows
above the sleeves, which are plainly finish
ed at the wrists with two bias folds, and
edged with fringe surmounted by two
folds, a blue belt, with a large bow and
short ends behind, is worn. A tunic of
black silk, trimmed with ribbon velvet, is
made to open low in front, with epaulets,
and lapping over the chest in such a way
as to form a tablier overskirt, the side gores
graduated, and the back widths gathered
in full at the waist. It is cut pointed in
the back of the bodice to match the front,
ami may V>o worn WTTII a skirt, of plaid
mohair. A little boy’s pique suit, is cut
with a skirt plainly gored, a jacket with
tabs round the waist, and a belt fastened
with a rosette at the side. The skirt, tabs,
etc., should be braided. A little girl’s suit
is of green silk, made with tyyo ruffles
round the skirt., the basquine cut square
behind, and a good deaf longor than iu
front, and edged with a fluted ruffle. The
sleeve is ruffled at the shoulder and above
the elbow a box plaited bow attached to
the belt. Willoughby.
The Postmastersiiip op Macon.—We

“No man,” says Sir Asth-y Cooper, “ought to
know by his sensations that he has a stomach,” -Ih
other words, when digestion is psleet there is neither
pain nor uneasiness in the region where it takes
place. Nausea, want of nppe Ue, llatuleucy, opprrs
eion after eating, ehootiug pains in the epigastrium, a
flushing of tflu face at rural times, and a furred tongue
in the morning, are arnong-the direct symptoms of In

are its a'most invariable companions. All th se iudi

Hurley’s Sarsaparilla and Potash
Maintains tho secretions, especially thso of the
skin and kidneys, increases nutrition, and allays
morbid irritability of the nqrvQus.aud circulating
systems. Hence an admirable remedy for debility
during or after a mercurial course, and for the multi
faiious variety of symptoms which arise, when the
health is broken down, as well as by the disease as
by its remedy. For Scrofula, it is the most certain
euro.
DISEASED KIDNEYS,
If neglected, are almost certain to end fatally, some
times the patient dies of exhaustion and obstinate
vomiting; sometimes of suppression of urine and
coma; sometimes in a sudden lit of Bcvere shivering;
and sometimes of a rapid attack of acute inflamma
tion. In the treatment, the golden ruie must be ob
served, so forcibly stated by Dr. Front, that modera
tion in the quantity is of quite as much consequence
as attention to the quality of food. Os alcoholic
liquors, sound sherry of the drier kinds or small
quirities of brandy or Hollands and water are the best.
In the medical treatment, IIUKLK Y’fcj COMPOUND
BAR®APARILI.A AND POTASH has proved
highly b-neficial from its vegetable alkali principles,
which entering into the blood, possess, s the property
of abstracting irom it a quantity of nitrogenous mat
ter BTitticient for its conversion into hipputic acid, anc.
in this very soluble form is readily excreted, aud ex
pels disease from the kidneys. It may-therefore be
given with contidence that it will limit, if not cure
the disease.
