depths of poverty has wound his way up to prince
ly splendor. He has often been satirized on the
stage, as he saluted with patronizing air some
favorite child of genius, or initiated so awkwardly
yet so complacently, the erclusireness of 'upper-
tendom" With what an ostentatious air he sub
scribes few dollars to some benevolent purpose,
and calls on some poor wretch on whose land and
house he, perhaps, has mortgage, to be "more
liberal.
Next in The category of would. be great,men,
comes up that c!ass of men who in some obscure
'box," with the aid of three gallons Of 'rot-gut,"
and plentiful supply of lies, manufactured to
order BY the fayorie politician or candidate, WELD
a potent influence over their ignorant neighbors
and in their 'pride of place" imagine themselves
"mghtiest among the mighty. But let single
ray of light fall upon their dark corner, let the
Sons" under their ''banner of light" march thith
er and their their wand loses its magic,
their strength like that of Sampson is reduced
down to that of Ordinary men. But there are too
many counterfeit great men to attempt a review
of them all-every neighborhood has its "Hec-

HoRRY DISTRICT.

The Kngstree Star has favored us with glow
ing description of town called Conwaydoro',
which, according to tradition, is the shire-town of
Horny District, in this State. We can remember
when the question as to thelocaty of the State OF
Horny" was as unanswcrable as that i'll regard to
the battery committed on one William Patterson.
And, taken all together, we never saw but three
men from that bcnightcd region-all of whom had
been sent thercfrom specially to the Legislature
Moreover, we have never seen any other men who
knew any man who had been to any pnrt of Hor-
ry District whatever And, therefore, we are
thankful to our friend McKNIoHT for good SER
vice. The picture is fattering one, and we ex-
pect, ere long, that old Horny will be "knocking
for admission into the Union" Speaking of Con-
wnyboro, the Star ssys:-
During short visit last week to this delightful
village we were pleased to notice that it is grow
ing with greater rapidity than any village in the
State In little less than eight years the popu-
lation has increased to o very respectable county
seat At that time there were only two small
stores, but neither hotel nor church in the place.
They have now fine church and another in con-

that there are room and work enough for both
that they 10 not clash, but mutually encourage
and benefit each othcr-as we'll rs the State

"ANOTHER DIVISION"

We have again the agreeable duty Of recording
the organization of new company in the Tenn
perance Regiment in York District. II is styled
"Concord Division" No. -, and was instituted
on the 18th, by D. G. W. P, Miles Johnson, as
sisted by Dr. J. B. Hunter, T. H. Turner, Joseph

Look at the names They are famiiar-known
especially to that interesting portion of the COM
munity, whose habit it is, now and then, to ap-
peal to the suffrages of the honest, sturdy yeo-
manry of the country. These names have the
.sring of the metal which constitutes the Tenn
erance strength CT our District; and it might be
well for those who have been wont to drug people
for their votes, to write them down in the "Dooms-

them for reference.

of our District can challenge comparison with

FEsTJ;S.

Our friend Of the Patriot has just discovered the
vein of pure gold which runs through that most
remarkable of the roetcal productions of our day
-"F.sfus-by PHILIP JAMES BAILEY;' and there
upon he writes with very appropriate cnthusi-
asm. GAS specimen of the Poem," says the
Patriot, at the cosing-up, 1--WE give the following
noble thought, POLITICALLY expressed. The devil
IS dscoursng, very philosophcally, with Festns.
and says:
Why may not all this world be but dream
Oi God Fear not. some morning God may wa
KEN"
Festus replies in the following language, which
We wish every one could have impressed on his
heart:
81 would it were. This fe's mystery
The value of q thought cannot be told;
But it is clearly worth 4 thousand lives
Like many mems And yet. men love to live
As if mere life were worth their living for.
Life's more than breath and the quick round of
blood;
1t is great spirit and busy heart
The coward, and small in soul, scarce do live.
One generous feeling-one great thought-one
deed
Of good ere night, would make life longer seem
; Than if each yearmight number a thousand days
Spent ms is this by nations of mankind.
We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not
breaths;
In feelings not figures on dial.
We should count time by heart throhs. lie most

cute the laws, and to suppress the shameful lcen-
tiousness of Mormonism. We hope this is true.
For our part, We think it is the bounden duty OF
the Government to extirpate this loathsome pest,
and believe that the outraged moral sentiment OF
mankind calls for extreme remedies. II ls idie
cant to talk about liberty of conscience and re-
ligious freedom. There is wide difference be-
tween heresies in religious opinion and ncknowl-
edged crimes that arrogate the sanctions OF re-
ligion. As we'll respect the murderous creed OF
the Alani, whose God was a naked sword, and
whose religion was constant festival Of blood,
as to niye at the saturnalian orges Of Mormon
ism-a horr;d crime against nature, an outrage
upon humanity, and in its very inception at war
with the laws Of God and man.
We repeat, if the Government does not intend
to renounce all control over Utah, it should at
once take vigorous steps to put the laws into exc
cution. Every moments hesitation aggrayates
the crying evil and enhances the difficulties of SUBJ
DUNG it. Even now. if our information is correct,
the Mormons are well provided with the muni-,
tions Of war. and can bring large and disciplin-
ed force into the field If COL Sumner be really
ordered to proceed to Utah as soon as he has
quelled the insurrection of the Kioway and Che.
yenne tribes, he had better go prepared for seri-
GUS resistance. The mere handful of men with
which be marched against the Indians, will only
serve to provoke the hostility of the Mormons.
He would be treated with little more respect by
Brigham than Col. Steptoe received, and would
signaly fail to accomplish the object of his exps-
dition. The whole available force Of the United
States should be sent there, and these shameless
outlaws taught to bow to the supremacy of the
Government. Brigham, the blnsphemous Prophet
and arch traitor, should be seized and made to
answer for his rebellious defiance Of the Federal
authorities. - ss>zs
The unanimous voice of the country proclaims
that these monstrosites ought longer TO be toll
erated and calls upon the Government to exter-
inmate the vile abomination of Mormonism
THE South
