THE DIsUNIoN MEN. 49, The Nicksburg
Wig tells the following story;
When we hear such threats of disunion
made by these redoubtable politicians, who
appear to breakfast, dine and sup upon gun
powder, round shot, and chain lightning, it
reminds us of conversation between Gov
Wise and one Of our citizens few weeks
ago, in the Capitol at Richmond The Mis-
sissippian the man. not the newspaper, was
anxious to know of the Governor if he did
not think the Union should and could be dis
solved, in the event of the election of Black
Republican. The Governor was careful not
to express any opinion, but with a twinkle of
the eye, and an emphasis peculiar to himself
remarked that "ho had had some little expert
ence in such matters on Il former occasion. At
one time in 1856 it was confidently believed in
Virginia that Fremont would be elected Pres
ident, and crowds of fre-eators, who sworo
that death was preferable to submission, and
that something must be done, hocked around
him to find out his opinion as to what should
be done in such a terrible crisis
"Resist, by all means, gentlemen" said
the Governor "neyer think oftame submis-
sion to such an outrage" "But how :" said
one; "by calling State Convention?' 'By
converting the Legislature :" said another
by a Convention Of the Southern States :"
said third "Oh, no, said the Governor.
"by none of these means-they are too slow
too fluctuatng and uncertain" "How
then y cried the excited and rosolute assem-
blago "what shall be done :" "Why." said
the Governor, tear up the railroad and take
possession of the national armory-appropri
ate all the public proporty-take possession
OF the government stores at Norfolk-while l
will march $4,000 men to the Capitol, under
your lead, and resist the Inauguration by
force, and take possession of the public prop
erty. Il is true that in few days there will
be force enough in Washington to hang every
one OF us, but d---n a man who has not pa
triotism enough to die for his country. -
Come, gentlemen, what say you p said the
Governor land as he shifted his quid to the
other check a scornful smile crept over his
pale face. They turned as white as a sheet,
and, like the crowd that accused the woman
taken in adultery, they commenced going out,
until no. one was left And will be hang
ed, said the Governor, "if this is not the
last time that | have ever heard about
disunion in Virginia"

authority for saying now that Gen Grandey

VALLEY or WHITE RIVER, Sept. 90
The drouth through this whole region has
been unprecedented From the time the
snow left till now the earth has not been sat-
urated with rain. But we have had very cool
nights and great condensation of dew, aud
have consequently realized what the inhabi-
tants of Palestine do. who enjoy the dew of
Hermon, and the dews that descend on the
Mountains of Zion. Frosts were very severe
here several times ia June, though several
pieces Of corn escaped. and some was replant-

The great success Of the French Exposition
of 1914 suggested to English Associations
the cxpcdioncy of enlarging the sphere Of To-
cal societies. The Society of Art in London,
over which Prince Albert presided, led off,
and the movement resulted in the great Crys-
tai Palace Exhibition
The features of that exhibition and its Of
feet upon industry the world over, we're dwelt
upon briefly.
The Industrial exhibition should present
in one form or another. the life Of the peo-
pie and the character Of the age it represents
its products--its habits-its labor--its lcis-
ure What is not exhibited in products,
should be witnessed in the people themselves.
But il is among the wonders Of life tina: the
most manifest and indispensable aids to hui
man effort. in every age and every land,
should have been successfully resisted for cx-
tended periods Of time.
The introduction of machinery, gas, pure
water, railways, and many Of the common ar
ticlos Of food, have met with opposition
Products with capacity to endure every soil
and climate have by such prcjudiccs, been
restricted to special ATTITUDES. Even in New
England, where young men are leaving hearth
and home for the newer country of the West,
and a little more land, even in New England,
ouo-half Of the SOIL and sometimes Of the
best capacity, is, out OF custom and usage,
unimproyed and useless. The surest method
of breaking into such customs, that have held
mcn in poverty, is to bring them together
not for a single object, but for every partcu-
lar purpose and interest. The reflex inhu-
once Of industrial occupations on governments
was considered at length, as it was shown
that revolutions were brought about 10y mis-
management on the part Of Governments, and
the products of industry into wrong uses, as
instanccd by the French Revolution.
Referring to our own exhibitions. it was
solved in the three following grand systems,
the exhibition of the productive power OF
governments and the people, the philosophic
analysis and comparison Of results and meth
ds,-the attractions and pleasures of private
and public festivities.
In what manner can we unite the private
and pecuniary interests of all persons: BY
uniting the purposes OF trade with the ord-
nary objects of exhibition and observation
Why should the elements Of strength that
sustained this institution with governments.
and the people with dcspots and democrats,
for years. be excluded from the exhibitions OF
our time The multitudes here to-day arc
gathered from every part of the State to wit
ness the strength Of the State, the extent Of
its acquisitions. the riches of its industry
the progress Of its invention and discovery

A SABBATH SCHOOL PICNIC AT
GANSVILLE

On Friday, the 9th inst, were convened
some hundreds of Sabbath School scholars
and teachers, and many citizens not connected
with any such school to give countonance
and honor to the study Of the Bible. The
company was from almost all the surrounding
towns, and was of various religious denomi-
nations Having assembled in the church,
the Pittstield Band opened by a voluntary,
which was followed by prayer by Rev. Mr..
Sherburn, succeeded by beautiful juvenile
singing, and then sermon to children, by
the children's minister, Mr.. Morgan. Fur
Their remarks were made by others present,
and then the whole company, under the es-
cort o. the band, marched to a grove about
half a mile distant. There tables were most
tastefully spread by tho good ladies of Gays
vile, with abundance of excellent things to
feed multitude of some six hundred. After
dinner, remarks pertinent and timely were
offered by Mr.. Hubbard Mr.. Mack Mr.. MOT
gan, and other clergymen present, intorspersed
with cheering strains from one of the most
charming bands that ever delighted an audi
ence. l must say few words in reference to
this band. | have frequently heard bod
worths and other celebrated bands from the
cities-hayo heard from other bands in Yer
mont very credtable performances never
did hear music played in such perfection.
There was soul in it, there was style, OK
preston and time. They played because they
loved to, and not for display. There was no
ostentation, and though they were eighteen
in number, and splendidly dressed in costly
uniform, they seemed only anxious that their
music should be enjoyed 1t was a pleasure
to march after them 1t was delightful to
listen to their clear, soft strains under the
clustering trees. Another thing that reflected
honor upon them was, their services were
nearly or quite gratuitous.
With such accomplishments, you may well
imagine that the Gaysvlle Sabbath School
Picnic was brilliant affair, and ought to do
much to make the study of the Bible in this
region universal. SENECA.

THE NEW MEXICAN TREATY.

There is process Of accomplishing results by in
direct means, sometimes called "loOking one way
and rowing another" but more popularity char
acterized as whipping the devil round The stump"
We have brilliant example Of this circumlocuhOn
in the terms of the alleged new treaty with Mexico,
or rather with that faction in Mexico which hap
pens to told the port of Vera Cruz. The Admin
istIaton has been casting about for long time for
pretext to give the Vera Cruz faction, with which
President Buchanan syupsthizes, round
sum of money TO enable it TO whip out
another faction which holds the capital Of
the county, with which President Buchanan
does not sympathise. The first step was to recog
Mise the Vera Cruz faction as the legitimate gov
eminent of the country, which was easy enough.
The secoLd was TO give il 'material aid and CON-
"fort," which not so easy. President Buchanan
said to President Juarez, sell us lands, and We
viii give you lucre; but President Juarez replied,
"Our Constitution forbids US TO ALLEVIATE the ma
tional territory; and besides, if we were to at
'tempt it, We couldn't do it. We are not even
"stroDg as it is: and after such act, we should
be literally nowhere. Bat We must have money
This kind of colloquy, in substance, but with yer-
bal variations, has been going on this twelve nonth

how TO smuggle some millions Of Uncle Sans
money out of his present rather lanky pockets, to
help one party against the other in the general

OF Buchanan, has however finally risen equal to
