TnE POPULAR TRIBUNE is the name Of an odd
looking newspaper which we have received from
Nau, oo Illinois, the seat of Monsieur CADETS lea
ran community, of which it is the organ 1t ID
published weekly and is devoted to the advance
Inent Of socialist principles. We learn from this
paper that the Icarians have clothing and shoe
store in ST. Louis. Missouri, for which they man
ufacture goods. They have at Nauvoo a steam mill
for grist, a saw mill. whisky distlery, sc. The
community consists Of three hundred and forty
persons, OF whom one hundred and fifty adult

twenty years of age, eighty six adult females, five
young females, twenty three boys at the first
school, four at the second, one deaf and dumb,
thirty four girls at school, twelve children from.
two 10 five years old, and fourteen infants. When
they first arrived at Nauvoo they numbered two
hundred and eighty persons of both sexes, and sew
eral children From history of the colony, writ
ten by CADET, which appears in this paper, it APP
pears that he has started the Tribune to bring the
colony into notice.-Phiia. North american.

Last summer while engaged in the tobac-
co and ci igar business, used to have for a
customer in cheap CIGARS one of those know
ing fellows whose knowledge serves better
to bore his victims than to advance science.
You couldn't make him believe that-oh, no! !!
Tell him they were regaia cigars that cost
$40 per nd!-it might stuff down the
throats of those who knew no better; he WAS
none ofthem. And 50 it was with everything; /;
he always knew best. 1t always appeared to
be his delight to draw me into some contro-
versy, no matter what the subject, in order to
hear himself hold forth. tried every way
could think otto cireumvent him, and at length
did succeed in laying him out as fiat as Il
founder.
1t was on Saturday afternoon, he came
in, made his purchase, and seated himself, to
deal me out his usual potion; but was
awake for him.
"Captain," said |, 81 have made up my mind

and uncorrupted Actionist:

"If we (Georga) choose to put up with op-
preston and marked degradation, it is no reason
for her (South Carolina} following our inglorious
example. She has the right to Judge for herself
and unless some of the other sovereign States
BY their votes maintain the right Of secession, it
is most probable that she will put the Govern
ment to the test Of reducing sovereign State to
subjection."
"Who will fight that tsbattle against Carolina ?
When Georgia and Alabama, Florida, Tonnes

nish troops to fight this battle for abolition, Car
ona will not be the only field drenchcd in
blood.n "If the Southern States were
to assert the right of secession, it would put an
end to all the threatened collisions"
Thus speaks true Southron. But more, my
fellow-citizens. Wherwc act, before Congress
can get at us, it must decide against the sover-
eighty of the States and the right to secede.
"Then Southern Representatives and States will
there throttle that new hydra of war and power,

THE RICH MAN.
by :. ". WHITFIELD.

ny :. ". WHITFIELD.
The Rich Man thinks his gold his own,
And all his gold can bring;
The Rich Man thinks, when thus he thinks
A very foolish thing.
He builds palace beautiful;
The graceful columns rise,
And while lie thinks them all his own,
They glad thousand eyes.
He spreads his floral garden round
The roses bud and bloom;
But with himself we all enjoy
Their beauty and perfume.
His noble chargers paw and prance-
The Rich Mans heart is proud;
He sees them with one pair of eyes,
But thousands have the crowd.
His parlor walls are loaded down
With gems Of art-to please
Himself, he thinks-to please, in truth,
The poorest man that sees.
The stately hall, the cultur'd grove
The park with pebblcd way
The leaping fount that sweetly sings
For these he has to pay.
And pay that other eyes may gaze
And feast without care;
The joy is ours, the task his own
To please them and prepare.

you and but yesterday, the old man who had
retired to his mountain-home to compose him.
self for death, came forth and made yet one
more effort for his beloved State. They oil
tell you with one voice, that this Secession
policy is not the true policy. Are these men
to be disregarded? What motive have they
to deceive you? Their highest ambition has
been gratifcd. All, except Butler, who wears
the harness, not for himself, but for you, have
voluntarily laid down the honors Of life, and
gone into close retirement,-they can have
nothing at heart but their country's good, and
/ tell you they speak the words Of seriousness
and truth. Age, you will be told, has cooled
their fires. Who spoke with more fire and
energy at Nashville, than Cheves? Who
stood up more bravely in Washington, than
Butler, when he battled all alone? Who
hurled defiance at Clay more fercely than
Barnwell? Not he who succeeded him.
These men have that tried wisdom and assur-
ed courage which needs not the excitement
of action to keep it alive-and have hereto
fore believed, and still believe, that it requires
no artificial stimulant to keep up the fire and
courage of the South Carolina people. They
are up to the mark now-they have been so
for twenty years, and he who tells them that
if they do not rush forward now, they will
lose their courage and tamely submit to any
wrong, calumniates and insults them.
| did not intend to review the gradual sta
ges of decay which the State must fall into,
after she has been erected into a nation, liv-
ing altogether by sufferance, but this has been
done SO often, and it is so siekening to the
patriotic heart to think how low South Car
olina will fall under such policy, that for
bear. Let rs all determine to stand by our
beloved State, in every fortune. The time
is at hand when every man must do his duty /;
and if we be true to ourselves, we may, on the
second Monday in October, yet show that rea-
son still holds her sway and check now, be-
fore it goes too far, the fatal policy Of sepa-
rate secession.
I am, gentlemen, with much respect,
Very truly yours,

KING DEATH.

There is king, a stern old king,
Who hath ruled since the world began,
And all ofthe earth are doomed from their birth,
To undergo his ban;
And he cares not he, whoe'er they may be,
Who bend before his frown;
With scornful laugh, he bids them quaff,
And drain the death-6aught down.
And when he comes near men, quake with fear,
Though they boast when he is not nigh
That they will not shrink, but fearlessly drink,
And bid the world good bye;
All me! how they pray the livelong day,
Should he take them at their word
And the frantic groan, and feeble moan,
In mournful tones are heard.
He calls aloud for the bier and shroud,
And points to the gloomy pail,
And half in Jest, he says, there is rest
And room enough for them all.
The beggarlie down with the king and his crown
Under the self same sod;
The hands are pressed across their breast,
And both look up to their God!
He knocks at the door of the rich and the poor,
With the same loud laundering sound,
And with dauntless air he bids them prepare,
For their long last sleep under ground.
Men droop and die at the glance Of his eye,
And wi1hcr away at his breath
For the name of his King, this stern old king,
Is the grim, 6cce conquerer, Death!

OPINIONS ABRoAp.--We clip the following
remarks from the Texas Republican. In
speaking of Gen. Waddy Thompson, and the
Unionists in this State, that paper says;
"Mcn who hold this doctrine can do no
good in South Carolina; and if they were
out of the State it would be much better.
The feeling there is not the growth of day,
but has been maturing for years.
"If we are to believe the papers of that
State, and public sentiment as evineed in
public meetings, the feeling is almost unani.
nous in favor of separate State action.
I" 1t is worse than proftless-it is criminal
to disguise the position of South Carolina
at this time, Her convention assemblies in
December, and the members to it were elec.
ted upon the issue of union or disunion, the
former havinga majority of about ten to one.
We have seen nothing to give US any assur.
ance that public sentiment has changed.
O. In view of these facts, we see but two
ways to stave off the crisis, which is hasten.
ing with the unerring certainty of time. One
is to hold the convention of Southern States,
as asked by South Carolina, and which we
conceive she has right to expect, or to ap.
peal to her through our Legislatures If the
south adopt either mode, we hope she NAV
insist upon permanent settlement of the
slavery question, by which it may be put at
rest forever"

A tall kecn-eyed countrymau stepped into the
Courtroom at Detroit, the other day, during
the progress of the railroad trial. Stepping
up to spectator, he requested that the pri-
sorers might be pointed out to him. The
man he accosted, being somewhat of wag,
pointed towards the jury. The fellow scann-
ed the twelve with his interesting eye: when
satisfied with the scrutiny, turned to his in

fiend as to the cause, replied 81 have been
wondering how Ned has contrived to monop-
olze all the talents of the family: but then
again, remember when we were at play he
was always at work." The force of this an.
ecdote is increased by the fact, that Richard
Burke was considered not interior in natural
talents to his brother. Yet the one rose to
greatness, while the other died comparatively
obscure. Don't trust to your genius, young
man, if you would rise but work! work!

DANNHLE RAILROAD

We learn that the full amount of $4,000 has
been subscribed in Charlotte county, Gncluding
$4,000 subscribed by persons living in Hall
fax to the stock of the Richmond and Danville
Railroad Company, to be applied with the States
corresponding quota of three ffths to the compile
ton of the road to the Staunton river. The sub
scrpuons a re made on condition of being paid
three annual instalments; but we have no doub
arrangements will be adopted to make the whole
sum available in short time.
The energy with which the friends of the road
in Charlotte have atoned for the failure of tUii
efforts to carry county subscription deserves all
praise. There is now a certainty that the work
will reach the Staunton. Similar exertons are
making in Halifax to raise a SUN sufficient TO
push the line through that county. Pittsylvania
and Henry it is believed, stand prepared to make
county subscriptions as soon as they are assured
Of the the readiness of Charlotte and Halifax to
do their part.
The prospects of the improvement are every
day frightening, and IT'S ultimate completion is nc
longer matter Of doubt.

THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.

The COMPROMISE measures of the late Congress- and
who, as we understand in the early part of the late
canvass maintained the most ultra doctrine of seces-
slon-was received in this portion of the State (says
me hauawha Republcan) with little surprise =
lhese gentlemen however, toward the close of the
canvass, made uncommon professions of attachment
to the Union.
We are glad to note the fact that on this side Of the
Blue Ridge this doctrine of Secession and opposition
to the Compromise receives but little countenance
from any party. In the Frederick District Mr.. Bedin-
ger, VINO, IN Congress, voted with Seldom, Averett,

ing majority although the district has BEEN for years,

lions than by their professions. The Wings here are
much graed that in the Loudoun district Strother is
elected over Morton who, to say the least. was sus-
pIcloned of being tnctured with Secession
The reason of the success of the Calhoun
Democratic candidates was simply this that they
vowed and pertested" Gas Mrs. Washington Potts,
we think it was, used to say that they were the
best friends of the Union. This was their lam
guage wherever they had opposition. Judge
Caskie said secession was "mad and every way
wrong project" and pleaded that his theory as
to the right was mere abstraction.

Afterwards, in 1912, the Enquirer asserts thai

according to the Enqulrer's own showing, a part of
the double reason it ascribes to Mr. Summers in
voting against the bill, was the striking out of the
land distribution clause; and that was, doubtless,
the whole reason. His direct vote the previous
year against tax on tea and coffee shows where
he stood. The friends of protection opposed that
tax, and the anti-tarif party supported it. All
