JUDGE W. M. REESE,
" Os Wilkes County.
A GREAT COUNTRY.
The Radical Yankees are very anxious
to have it appear that they bear all the
burdens of the Government, while the
South is a barren, barbarous and God-for
saken section. It happens, however, that
their own Chief of the Bureau of Statistics
takes the conceit oUt of any such presump
tion. We learn that the exports of pro
ducts of the United States for the year
ending June 30th, 1870, comprising the
thirty-five principal articles, amount to
$473,451,040. The exports of cotton and
cotton goods alone amounted to $230,-
807,931, or within eleven millions of
one-half of the entire exports of the
country. Considering the incessant devil
try we have been subjected to from the
aforesaid Radical Yankees, this is a pretty
good showing. And considering that the
greater part of the money earned by the
South sticks to the fingers of our dear
brethren of the North, it is as little as they
can do to tell the truth and act with
civility. The fact is, the South constitutes
the most valuable part of the Union, and
“ Reconstruction,” in its last analysis,
means that she shall contribute to the cof
fers of her task masters just so long as
they can compel such service. They have
succeeded famously so far, but the next
generations will change all that, by learn
ing to support themselves and stopping the
flow of tribute.
N<^ Doubt— Gen. John C. Brown, the
Democratic candidate for Governor of Ten
nessee, made a capital speech at Chatta
nooga, the other day. He delivered this
admirable hit:
“ I have thus been over the entire plat
“ form, and am sure there is nothing in it
“ to which any reasonable man could ob
“ ject. The Radicals, of course, object. 1
“ suppose if we had adopted the Ten Com
“ mandmcntß as a platform, some one
“ would have objected. I am sure the
“ Radicals would, for there is, I believe,
“ one of them which says, ‘ Thou shalt not
“ steal.’ ”
A. Sly Dig. —The Courier-Journal has
this slap at Cincinnati and the Green Line
excursion: %
“ We hope the Green Line excursionists
“ are having a good time in Cincinnati just
“ now. Cincinnati always has a supply of
“ good time on hand to sell to the South
“ ern people, but the purchaser invariably
“ pays an immense price for it in the end.”
The October Elections.— The great
States of Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
lowa vote for Congressmen on the 11th of
this month. But, great as the stakes are,
there is no life in the canvass. The reason
of this is plain. Democracy has got so
very close to Republicanism on the “ dead
issue” humbug that the people really care
very little as to a choice between G*sab
add Pompey.
Jess Sol—The plebiscite did the job for
France, thus : Count Bismarck carefully
watched all that was done In Paris early iu
the year. “Os the army,” he said, “285,-
657 soldiers voted Yes, and 46,210 voted
JVi> —total, 331,877. This,” he argued, “is
the full amount that Napoleon can bring
into the field at a short notice.”
Smart man, that Bismarck.
, Prom the Ba Itlmore .Kpiecopal Met hodiet.
Our Nation al Characteristic.
It we’ should be called upon to give in a
siugle word the implfession which this, the
greatest aud best country the sun ever
shone upon, produces on our minds, we
should say, Pinchbeck. We have now ar
rived at a good old age, aud that is the
matured and deliberate result of our expe
rience of Columbia. We an sorry to say
it, but if Sha n, Imposture and Humbug
were ever written indelibly on every line of
a human face, it is on that of Brother
Jonathan. It is not right for any naan to
complain .of being born on this or that'
continent, or in this or that country. Such
being the will of Providence, it is right
to submit, and we trust we are resigned.
But we are not required to be ignorant
that there can be no greater trial and afflic
tion to human pride than that of being an
inhabitant of such a land of humbugs,
even though it were an involuntary act.
If there is one department of human
thought or enterprise, in which the “ land
of the free and the home of the brave ” is
not a mere imitation, hollowness and cheat,
we should like to know what that happy
department is. Is it in literature, science,
arms, statesmanship, theology, or what,
that we have added one original idea to the
stock of human knowledge? Have we
half a dozen great authors and thinkers,
acknowledged by the republic of letters
throughout the world? Who are our il
lustrious soldiers since the Revolution, ex
cept the “ rebel chiefs,” who resisted the
late bloody massacre of American liberties,
but whom we do not acknowledge as
Americans ? Whjf should we be taught by
our political and social leaders to strut
about and vapor as if we were really the
grandest people that ever lived, when, in
fact, we are only greater than other nations
in our peurility, self-conceit, bombast and
barbarism, and are only subjects of interest
to Hie civilized portions of the world, as
producing cotton and corn.
Our claim to be a Republic is of course a
falsehood, proved to be so by the execrable
tyranuies and horrors of the late war, as
well as by the treatment of the Southern
people since, including the splendid illus
tration of the leading idea of our revolu
tionary struggle of the abominable injus
tice of taxation without representation.—
Our professed hatred of aristocracy is
another of the most transparent deceits
that ever was attempted upon human na
ture. The only objection that any repub
lican ever had to a king is that he cannot
be king himself; the ouly objection' any
plebeian ever had to an aristocracy, is that
he cannot be an aristocrat. Any man that
has eyes in his head must see, aud any man
that has a stomach must be nauseated well
nigh to death, by all this republican twad
dle about kings and aristocracy. There is
not on the face of the earth, as vulgar, as
sordid, as ignorant, as soulless, as base,
and despotic a ruling order as the pinch
beck would-be aristocracy of wealth iu
these United States of America. There is
not one of these beggars on horseback who
does not in his secret heart worship heredi
tary rank and title, in spite of all his
abusives lang towards born gentlemen, and
would not rejoice to exchange his dirty
gains for a match for his son or daughter
with the impoverished descendant of an
Europc&ii noble. Yet here is a whole na
tion forty millions of people, who live,
breathe and have their being in a political
and social atmosphere which is wholly and
palpably made up of Illusions and lies.
There is no greater agency in propagat
ing these universal decepetons than the po
litical newspaper press. It is Itself, in the
main, a cheat and an imposition. Except
as an Instrumentality for material develop-
ment, the press is often an enemy to the
best interests of society. Who are the
conductors of the leading Journals of our
principal Northern citi s? Who is the
editor of the New York Herald f Os the
New York Iribune f Os the New York
Independent? Hear these shallow-pated
pretenders, the most competent of whom
has been educated at an obscure Americau
so-called college, laying down the law
upon all branches of human knowledge
with the air of an oracle! ; It te enough to
make a horse laugh! There seems to be
no reality, substance, originality or genu
ine grit in any of those so-called organs of
public opinion Our late war, which tum
bled the continent into chaos, ought to
have disclosed a mammoth in some branch
of enterprise, but except in the “ acdursed
rebel States,” not even the remains of a
mastodon were to be seen. For statesmen,
we have Seward, and for generals, Grant,
who, among them, overpowered the Booth
in as many years as it has taken Prussia
weeks to dispose of the first military
empire of the world. And ever since,
they have been strutting, crowing and
spreading their feathers, like a victorious
gobbler who had trampled a victorious
chicken to death, as if the like of that had
never before been seen under the sun.
Very probably it had not, at any rate in
the closing scenes. Poor South 1 Whose
greatest mortification must have been that
of the Dutchman, mortally wounded by a
ram, and who declared with his dying
breath, that he did not so mucli mind being
killed as “ being bntted to death by a mis-
erable sheep.”
It is true the country is young and can
not expect to rank with the oldest nations
in learning and civilization. Why not own
it, then ? Why not say so, and educate our
people upon that indisputable fact, instead
of upon a foundation of self-evident fables ?
Why not acknowledge that this is anew
continent, inhabited by a hardy race of Eu
ropean peasantry, whose national progress
has been wonderful, because they occupy a
new territory, which has attracted hungry
and energetic adventurers like themselves
from all the earth, and whose combined ne
cessities and energies have developed its
resources at a double-quick time? Why
not, like men, with beards on their faces,
admit that in all that is not material, we
are behind the age—mere children in
knowledge, who have onr alphabet to learn
of European masters; plebians socially,
who have no right to look down upon each
other or any of ti e rest of human family ;
politically, as little capable of self-govern
ment, and as incompetently governed as
the most- down trodden race of Europe;
and in a military point of view, equalled
only by Brazil, which took about as long to
conquer Paraguay as thi3 modern Rome to
subjugate the Southern States.
B-lud, lago — B-luo ! — The following
sanguinary and gory paragraph appears in
the tragic colnmns of the Greenville (Tenn.)
National Union of this week :
We are credibly informed that murders
and outrages dontiuue to be perpetrated
upon the persons of innocent, unoffending
Union men and their families in Middle
and West Tennessee. Scarcely a week or
a day passes without its victim, and yet
the Banner and other Ku Klux sympathiz
ing journals talk proudly about the happy
state of quiet and peace prevalent through
out the State under the gracious rule of
their accomplices.
To this Radical howl, the Nashville
Banner administers the following consol
ing assurance :
Yes, we must admit it We “ smile, and
murder while we smile.” The other night
as we entered the dark shades of Printers’
Alley we coolly stabbed a delinquent sub
scriber in the midriff and hung him on a
nail. As we entered the editorial den, onr
grim-assoeiates, the night-owls, were all
covered with gore—their revolvers all
emptied—a sulphurous odor pervaded the
sanctum atmosphere, and the door-ways
were blockaded with dead bodies. Our
insatiate news editor, suffering with the
neuralgia, rushed, howling, to the street,
and tore an innocent hackman from his
coach and his leg from his body, and beat
him into an indistinguishable mass with
the bloody end thereof. He then resumed
his labors at the desk complacently, but
our local reporters continue to coroe.in at
all hours with fresh scalps at their belts,
and are forever and eternally wiping thqir
bowie-blades upon our freshest , exchanged,
and defiling them with the blood of the
infidel dogs of the Republican faith. We
are thinking of securing a corps of Turcos
to do up the fighting department, and a
cannibal or two, from Otaheite, to dispose
of the defunct bodies of the victims to our
editorial displeasure. “ Now cou’d we
drink hot blood and do such business as
the bitter day would quake to look on!”
(Krora the Nancy Correspondent of the Moniteur.
German Reign in France.
HOW THE PEOPLE LIKE IT —SCHLAGE FUU
DIE PBANZOSEN—CAN SUCH THINGS BE IN
THIS CENTURY?
tfou are aware that there is here a Prus
sian Governor, Yon Bonnin, lodged at the
marshal’s office, a Prefect who is Colonel
in the Lancers, and a civil commissary.—
All this inundates us with proclamations
and menaces which lack nothing except
carrying out. For the last two months
tvery inhabitant lias been -accommodating
two or three officers daily and ten soldiers.
One day there passed through the town
40,000 Bavarians, it was wished that they
shonld be all quartered in the neighbor
hood of Stanislas square. What was done ?
They were led in troops of 100 before a
house, which they entered, settled in, drank
and ate. And it was necessary, and is ne
cessary still, to wait on these people.
Many inhabitants have quitted Nancy.
Their houses have been broken open and
filled with soldiers, who, finding nobody to
wait on them, wait on themselves, breaking
open the cellars, chests, &c. All this is
strictly the truth.
In the villages it was worse. They mal
treated the inhabitants, and indulged in a
thousand atrocities.
At Point St. Vincent a colonel and bis
officers struck, you understand, struck, the
Baroness S., a lady of the best society.
They have performed the necessities of na
ture in her bedroom. At Saxon, near
Nancy, they have turned the church into a
stable, and have fastened round the Virgin’s
neck a necklace of ducks’ heads. Others
have deposited their excrement behind the
altar.
They have themselves placarded the news
of their victory at Sedan in German and
French. The placards have been snatched
down. 'l'heir men have sung infamous
songs in the evening before the cases of the
place. Our men have immediately assem
bled and sung the Marseillaise. Troops
were fetched who charged the crowd. A
merchant named Thiery was arrested and
condemned to death. He was not execut
ed, and perhaps his sentence will be com
moted to two years’ imprisonment in the
fortress.
Every morning peasants are shot. The
day when the proclamation of the republic
was knownjthe town was given over to fire
and blood. In Stanislas square, right in
face of the Prussians, a large placard was
l>osted up bearing the words, Vice, la Repub
liqueMort aux Pruxsiens! There were
about 500 persons. They were immediate
ly charged by a Prussian detachment per
manently quartered at the town hall.—
Those who were not on guard dispersed
through the town, sabre in hand, and there
wanted little for it to degenerate into a
horrible butchery. There were about 20
wonnded with blows from bayonets.
The Funeral of Admiral Farragut
—President Ulysses S. Grant, Secretary of
the Navy George M. Robeson, Postmaster-
Geueral John A. J.Creswell, and Secretary
of War William W Bel knap attended the
fimeral of Admiral Farragut, in this city
yesterday. This is an illustration of the
power of the press, forcing them to do
what they didn’t want to do.
After the noble Admiral was buried, the
distinguished gentlemen above mentioned
attended a champagne supper at the rooms
of the Union League. This is an illustra
tion of the power of appetite.

A TAINTED ATMOSPHERE.
MALARIOUS FEVERS ARE MOST PREVA
LENT ia the Fall. Heavy and unwholesome exha
lations then arise from the earth, and the great
disparity between the temperature of day and night
predisposes the system, enfeebled by the Summer
heats, to epidemic diseases. The eecrelive organs, the
liver especially, are apt, at this period of the year, to
become inert and sluggish, and all the bodily powers
require renovation. The best, indeed the only pro
tection against the morbid influences of the season is
a wholesome medicated stimulant. Pre-eminent
among the restoratives of this class, and indeed fore
most among the remedial and preventive medicines
of modern times, stands Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters.
Its reputation is co-extensiva with the Western
Hemisphere; it has been a standard article for twenty
years; its sales (as may he ascertained by the revenue
returns) are far larger than those of any other pro
prietary preparation on this continent; and the tes
timony in its favor embraces letters of approval from
the most disi ingnished members of all the learned
professions and from well known residents of almost
every city in the Union. These are its credentials
To state what it is doing to prevent and assuage the
sufferings of the human family would require more
space than can be given to the subject here. The
dyspeptic, the billious. the nervous, the weak and
emaciated, the desponding, the broken down, find in
its renovating and regulating properties a sure and
immediate means of relief. It is a pure vegetable
specific, at oDce safe and potent, and for which the
whole materia medica affords no substitute.
