svmntoms of Rebellion.

A Douglas organ, the New 7 ork Leader, re-
grets exceedingly that Judge Douglas should
have been tempted to give monopoly in the
publication of his present views on popular
sovereignty to magazine which the immense
majority of his Democratic friends are not in
the habit of reading, to magazine which they
regard with distrust." 1t regards the article
as ESSENTIALLY new political pronunciamento,
penned with a view to the next presidential
contest, and designed to help the prospects of
its author as a candidate for the highest office
in the gift of the people," Viewing it in this
light, it should have been laid before the en-
tire country through the medium of free publi-
cation. 1t expresses feeling of pain at find
ing the " little giant" lending his political
reputation as a means of forcing nauseous
and detested publication into further notoriety
and demand" and advises all democrats who
have not been in the habit of buying Harper'S
Magazine " to refrain from investing in the
present (September) number" 1t concludes
by saying
ave understand that in week or two-af
ter this article shall have gained all the notori-
ETY. it seeks-the copyright restriction will be
specially removed and all the papers of the
country, invited to copy, with due credit to
the courtesy of the publishers" This will
be adding insult to injury, and we call upon
all Democratic presses to discountenance the
plans of the harpy publishers by refusing to re-
produce the paper in question. For ourselves
we take total abstinence pledge against
Popular Sovereignty served up in any such
vessel we win neither touch it, taste it, nor
handle it; and to the best Of our ability we
will induce others to abstain. Sincerely friend
ly to Stephen A. Douglas, and willing to take
more than common risks in his behalf to do
more than common labor in his service, we de-
mand from him, in the name of our Democrat
ic readers, more consideration than he has
shown in this il-advised and injurious STEP
He is our friend and our first favorite, but he
must not try to rough-rde us with too heavy q
snaffle."

Departure of General Scott.

Lieut.. General Winfield Scott departed upon
his San Juan mission, in the steamer Star of
the West, from New York, at two o'clock.
Tuesday Long before the time of sailing, a
very large crowd had assembled on the steamers
wharf at the foot of Warren street. A squad
of police were on hand early, and guarded the
gateway to the wharf, and inside more care
was needed by the officers to keep back the
dense crowd at the gang-pank. The Scott
Life Guard, under Captain Ward, arrived
with gun just before two o'clock, and took up
a position on the end of the wharf. Commiss,-
ry General Welch had refused them the use of
a gun from the Arsenal for a salute; but, as
they would not do without one, it was procur-
ed and paid for
A few minutes after the arrival of the mill
tarv Gen. Scott arrived in n carriage, and was
received with hearty cheers, which increased
TO enthusiasm as the aged veteran slowly made
his way up the gang plank. When he reach
ed the steamers deck, he turned and salutcd
the assemblage below, and then proceeded to
the upper deck, where he was followed and
warmly greeted by the officers and members
of the Life Guard and many other persons
He appeared quite well, and seemed in cheer
| full spirits. Whenever the crowd on the whar
could get II glimpse of him they greeted hin
with hearty cheers.

LOVE OF NATURE AND FLOW
ERS. @ tass

The love of nature affords one of the purest
delights, and is implanted in every human
breast. Flowers, Of all created things, are the
most innocent and beautiful, and afford pleas
ure which has no taint. ~
Nature is most lavish in her gifts of beauty
and adornments, but in order to appreciate and
enjoy them, it is necessary to listen to her
voice and study her varied teaching in this
way, they will be found to incucate a tone OF
refinement, besides giving the most pleasant
and healthful employment to old and young,
and to the wealthy and poor alike.
Every man should adorn his home-the
dwelling of his wife and children-with attrac-
tive objects and with all of those various en-
beIlishments which will make it cheerful
What then, will tend more to this end than a
flower garden, even though quite small, filed
with beautiful flowers, imparting their fra
GRANGE, and cheering the mind of the beholder:
- If this be done, much has been accomplished
toward making home an abode of peace and
delight. Where flowers are planted the home
becomes tasteful residence, while its intrinsic
value is also greatly enhanced.
Cultivated taste gives beauty and value to
property, and the small cost of flower gar
den, SO Iar Irom pelhg useless EXPENSE as
some regard it, adds to the money value of the
premises. Horticultural pursuits on small
scale, are particularly adapted to ladies.
A natural foudness of flowers is an evidence
of refined mind and their cultivation tends te
create delicate taste. If lady therefore learns
to plant and rear these terder and attractive
objects, the pleasure thus derived will be found
to increase in proportion to the effort put forth
and will remain when Others have departed

Children become the occasion of many re-
grets and complaints. Even where affec ton
out wines their little hearts. how often the pa
rents mourn that God has called them to expe-
rience SO many perplexities and trials! The
best construction that some parents appear to
put upon the gift of children is, that they are
:. troublesome comforts" They enjoy them at
least at times and yet sometimes they are fully
convinced that they should have been happier
if they had been chidess. They are heard to
speak Of them as hindrances to freedom, conf
ming parents at home when they otherwise
might be abroad. A source Of constant anx-
iety aud care,' they say, -'s which the childless
do not have" How they envy those who have
no little prattlers to Gil their dwellings with
music, Music, did say? 1t is not music to
those who pronounce this Juvenile laugh
ter, " noise enough to make one crazy,""a per-
feet bedlam." 1t is music to those who rejoice
that God has given them these living blessings
As they come along one after another, the re-
ceivers hail them as so many yeritable God
sends. To this class, they are comforts, with
out the adjective /" troublesome"
Now children ere educators. While pa
rents train them, they in return teach their pa
rents. A man is more of man for becoming
father. Chords are struck i'll his soul there
by which never could be made TO vibrate by
IL, another cause. A class Of sympathies are
awakened in his heart by this new relation,
which all other relations in the world could not
stir. A woman is more of woman for be
coming mother. The tenderest and liveliest
part of her nature comes to light through the
maternal qualities. She has something new to
live for. She is less vain and selfish. Who
has not seen the gay and thoughtless belle
casting aside her vain show and pleasure low
ing gadding propensties, after she has become
q wife and mother? The baby has sifted her
very being, so that she cares less for trifes now
that she has dear responsibility to clasp to
her bosom. It does wife good socially and
morally, to have a cradle to rock. 1t does her
husband good too.
Communities are composed of families !;
hence chidess married couples can scarcely be
said to belong to the community. They are
not families. They have not so many induce
ments to be interested in the public zeal. We
apprehend that fathers and not old bachelors
are the men who generally discuss the system
of common school education, and go to town
meetings to vote for those measures which are
for the general welfare of society. The strong
est argument that man can have brought to
move him to every good, social, literary and
"A moral enterprise is a group of ten or fifteen
children. If this viii not move him, he is a
hopeless case.-Happy Home. .

A Pile of Money taken at TeTTs
Hautes'

A temporary agent of the American Ex-
press Company at Terre Haut, within the past
two or three weeks, has taken packages and
parts of packages of various amounts of money
passing through that Office in such sums as 10
make an aggregate reaching nearly $4,000.
This was all staked and lost at gaming tables
The last sum taken was ah entire package Of
$4,000 for the Parke County Bank. This
was all lost in one night at gambling saloon.
Growing desperate at this heavy loss, the last
of series OF considerable length, TIE exptess
agent pulled pistol from his pocket and de-
manded the money or the life Of the winner Of
the pile. The E,ouey was handed back to him.,
and his depredations in the express Office dis
covered the next day.
Measures were taken to recover the money,
nearly all of which was ascertained TO be in
the hands of parties in Terre Haute-rtostiy
young men--in the habit Of playing cards for
amusement and profit. The position Of the
parties holding the money was such that ID o.
der to prevert open exposure the whole amount
of the money stolen staked and lost, with the
exception of some $780, was surrendered To-
the express company,-Ind. Journal

Negro Equalitvs

Because Republicans are opposed to depff-
wing negroes of their natural, political and re-
ligious rights-to the extension of slavery
over free acknowledgements politicians at
tempt to prejudice the Republicans by stating
that the party desire whites and blacks as one
race to live together, eat together and sleep
together. 80
This charge, so far as it is applicable to the
Republicans, as party, or in any collective
sense, is false. The Republican party has new.
er espoused, encouraged, practiced, or endorsed
amalgamation in either theory or practice.
C5n the same be said ofsthe Democratic
party in collective setse? We think not. In
1910, the Democratic party ran for the Office
Of Vice President, Col. Richard M. johnson,
an open and notorious smalgamationist-w
lived with a coiered lady whom he publicly
Acknowledged as the mothet of his, children
and, which the party as openly endorsed by
voting for him. vz r
And, moreover, according to the census Of
Virginia in 1850, there were In that State
alone, over eighty thousand mulattoes. There
is no Republican party in that State--and the
presumption-the reasonable coiiclusion Is,
that the great majority of these mulattoes are
of Democratic paternity. aa aw
What may be said of Virginia, may be said
of almost all of the Democratic Slave States.
What is said of Virginia.. cannot, in truth be
said of all, or any of the Republican Ststesof
the Free North. Amalgamation where Re
publicans hold sway is not practised to any
great extent-cases of almalgamation are not
general-they are the exceptions. .z
This question, we are aware, has but little
10 do with the great issue before the people
of slave extension or the non-extension of ala
7ery over free. territory-yet as Democratic
eaders desire to make it an issue-desre to
;ast odium upon the Republican party, as,the
advocates of amalgamation, they had better

TIE ENTRIEs. &C.

The entire number amounts to near three
thousand. The number of horses is immense,
some three hundred stalls being filed. The
equestrian contest came off this afternoon six
ladies competed for the gold watch, which was
awarded to Miss Oatley, Of Putnam. Ladies
intending ride at county Fairs this fall might
be interested to know that the neatness which
distinguished Mis- Oatley was attributed to the
absence of hoops while riding.
To speak of the incessant rainy weather and
its effect in OBTAINING many at home, and disap-
pointing many who came, is supeT6uous. A
total summing up will leave the Board in ar
rears about one thousand dollars. The accom-
modatious have generally been commended by

heavy and frowning as the clouds that have ac
companed and oyershadowed our Fair.

Six thousand yards or fifty-four thousand
