Disupion and tbe Price Of Nesroos.


The Richmond Wing and other leading
journals of the Bell persuasion in the slave
breeding States, charge that the design Of the
Secessionists was to break up first the Demo
cratic party, next the Union-all to bring
down the price of slaves If the move was
successful, and the. Union was dissolved, then
the African slave trade would be re-opened,
and Of course the value Of negroes would fall
to $500 or $780, If the move failed, still
the agitation would reduce them $500 to
$500 per head, and the cotton planters would
buy while the fever was up, and thus still be
gamers. Secession, then, is a dOublo-barrel-
ed shot gun, designed to cheaper negroes
from 40 to 400 per cent. And yet to bring
about this business dodge the Democratic
party first, and the Union afterwards, are to
be smashed up. The Valley Star, Demo
cratic paper, says: af-
''Virginia is already having foretaste of
what IS to come. We understand from re-
liable authority that No. l negroes have al
ready fallen more than % per cent, and sec
ond and third rate hands from 30 to 80 per
cent. What has produced this sudden de-
cline2 Does not every man see at glance
it's the cry of disunion raised by these cotton
planters, producing feeling Of uncertainty

slave property Tes, Virginia is now being
bled to the tuns Of thousands Of dollars, to

electrify the largest kind of audiences. He
fires the people right up, for he talks with no
double tongue. Every sentence tells Mr..
Wade spoke in Brooklyn Monday evening,
and had most enthusiastic reception. The
Times says:
The assemblage, on the conclusion of Mr..
Wade's speech, g We him three hearty cheers,
and three more for his State. A gentleman,
in the enthusiasm of the moment, sprang
upon the platform and announced that this
Benjamin Wade was the noble Senator who
first entered his protest against the outrage
on Sumner, denouncing it as base and cow
ardly. He proposed three times three for the
champion of freedom, and pro-
posed that ne not only be escorted to the
ferry by the Wide Awakes, but that all pres

abreast. The cheers were given, and the pro-

The Disunion CInzlor and Threats.

Every threat against the Union, and every
prediction Of disaster totouOw Lineoln's cleo
ton, trutbfully remarks the Albany Journal,
is but the repetition Of tho threats and pre-
dictons made by the same Disunionists last
winter, in reference to the election of Re
publican Speaker. Then, as now, we were
told thet the Republicans persisted in ex-
eroising their constitutional rights, the Union
should be dissolved and Ruin seize upon Com
merce and the Country. F
What was the result? The Republicans
did persist in the exercise of their eOnstitu-
tional rights and did carry the election, and
the day afterwards the Disunionists closed

There is some prospect Of gold mania in
Lower Canada. It has been known for many
years that gold existed on the st Francis and
Chaudiere Rivers, and two or three years ago,
a company in Montreal washed some $4,000
in gold from a sand bar in the Chaudiere, but
the work was discontinued as it cost smuch
to get the gold as it was worth.
ftis now stated that for months past the
French Canadians have been coming into
Quebec with nuggets and dust obtained from
the gold regions, and the Quebec Chronicle
states that the baekEOOdsmen from the aurif-
erous section have lately sold large quantities
to ajewler in that city, some of the nuggets Of
the value of $50 and upwards.

tisn now certain that the extent Of suffer
ing in Syria is isappalling. Nor have the fau
dimensions Of the misery Of the poor Chris
tian fugitives been even yet ascertained. The
N. Y. Journal Of Commerce, by late adyices
from Syria, learns the following facts:
EEvery week, now that the strong arm Of
Fuad Pacha is restoring some degree of order
in the plain country, if not entirely in the
Lebanon districts, new masses Of human
Wretehedness are coming to light. Ouly e
few days preceding the 23d Of September,
some three thousand miserable creatures were
heard Of by the Anglo-American Relief
COMMITTEES at Beirut, as ready TO perish at or
near place called the "Cedars OF Lebanon
and 10000 piasters Tor 81, ,2OO) were sent up
TO save them from death by famine and desd-
tuition. About the same time 3, 900 wretched
beings had reached Sidon, from the region
Of Aasbeya, who must be cared for. And
finally, near 4, 900 had come frem another
quarter, TO Beirut-thus increasing the num-
bed Of those who must be fed by the commit
tee at Beirut, land many Of them clothed
too,) from $4,000 up to more that $4,000
Nor does this include all the poor creatures
who must be fed through the winter. As the
autumn wears away and the pinching cold
commences on Lebanon, hundreds and thou
sands who have been seeking miserable
sustenance from herbs on its sides and in its
ravines, will be compelled to come down to
Beirut and Sidon, and they must be fed and

Much has been done within a few years Il
beaatifS The streets of Paris by the trans
planting of forest trees. One Of the French
chariots for tFansplanting trees is to be con-
structed in New York for tree planting in
Central Park. 1t win consist OF large
framework Of stout wood, girded With iron
and borne upon four wide-tired wheels. The
appearance Of the tree chariot is not unlike
a hay wagon with the body of. The Post
says: ~ Ltf-El y N't f-
In the transportation Of the tree the FIRST
step is 10 dig circular ditch around it, far
enough from the base Of the trunk 10 avoid
interference with the roots, and deep enough
to descend below their level. The distance
Of this ditch from the trunk is decided by
the character Of the tree, some species hav-
ing Wide-spreading roots, while those of
other species shoot dOWnwards. The gar
dener, OF course, is aware Of these peculiari-
ties, and directs the laborers accordingly,
The ditch being dug, the next step is to
bind the earth around the roots with osier
twigs, just as person would do were the
hower-pot In which he were carrying plant
to break away, leaving the cylindrical mass
Of earth around the roots.
The Transplanting Truck is then brought
to the spot, taken apart and put together
again about the tree, so that the trunk is en-.
closed in the area bounded by the axles and
the sides of the frame. Two chains fastened
to the frame are lowered into the ditch and
passed by little passage ways dug Tor them
under the mass Of earth clinging about the
roots Of the trees. Levers are then used, the
chains hoisted and with the entire tree in It's
standing position. Raised few feet above
the surface Of the earth, it is made fast, and
the truck slowly drawn by horses to the
spot to which it is wished TO transport it
Here hole is prepared, over which it is car
ried, and the chains lowered depositing the
tree, still standing exactly in the desired
place, so that the truck is left surrounding
the trunk of the tree. The truck again is
taken apart and removed, the hole filled up
and sOdded, and the work of transplantation
is completed, the tree preserving not only its
roots intact, but several feet of the identical
soil through which the roots had rambled in
their dark, mysterious search after nutriment
and Vigor, and whence they had received the
vital power which above ground burst forth
into green leaves and fragrant blossoms.

The PainesvilIe Press Of Oct. 3lst has the
following notice Of some of the productions
of productive little Lake county:
There is beginning to be sale for the large
crop of apples grown in Lake county-tho'
at the low figure of 20 cents per bushel; the
best of winter apples are going forward by
Railroad at this low price, though occasion
ally man gets 25 cts. the bushel.
1t is judged that the rot will take about
one-half of the large potatoe crop of the
counIy-much the largest ever grown. The
Carter, and the Red and White Shanghai, are
suffering most from the disease-while the
Meshannocks are very slightly affected, and
the Jersey Peach Blows scarcely any at all
The call for potatoes at this time is confined
to Meshannocks, which have fallen the last
week from two shillings to 20 cts. the bushel
A day or two since we had occasion to
take a ride just over the Madison line, and
found four mills busily at work upon Sor-
ghum. On the North Ridge, a mill owned
by Mr.. Nash, and on the South Ridge, in
Perry, the mill of Mr Graham, and the mill
of Mr.. HartweI and in Madison the mill of
J. L. Wood. These mills have been running
from two to three weeks, and will have plen-
ty of work for a month or six weeks longer.
A single mill, with two men and two horses,
turns out from 40 to so gallons Of syrup in
a day Of ten hours. Theyswork up the cane
Sat the halves" or for IS pence per gallon.
They all seemed to be makinga better article
than in former years; at Mr.. Woods we
found syrup as ight-colored as honey; and
if any one doesn't believe it was of pleas
ant flavor, let him call upon US and by tast-
ing learn his mistake. 1t is altogether the
best specimen of sorghum syrup we have
ever seen. Mr.. Wood has succeeded the
present season in making sugar, sharp grain
ed, Of light straw color, and every way a
desirable article. Graham and Wood use
Cooks Eyaporator, with which they are well
pleased.

Mrs. Olive Norton died at Southington
Trumbull county, Oct. 25th, aged 70 years,
She was born in Pennington, Conn, removed
to Ohio in 1910, and resided in Southington
just half century. Mrs. n. endured a full
share of the perils and hardships of early
pioneer life. The Chronicle says:
In the summer of 1914 her husband, Rod
erick Norton was drafted into the army, and
she, with an infant and another young child,
remained alone in the wilderness during the
following winter. And on one gloomy night
burnt powder through a crevice of her log
hut in a tablespoon to frighten away the
wolves that were having a combat with her
faithful dog in the dooryard. She early en-
braced the christian religion, and has been
true and consistent member of the NJ. E.
Church for some forty-th-ee years.

Dates from the City of Mexico to the 18th
of Octobergiv some particulars Of the cap
ture of Guadalajara by the Liberal forces, and
the event is generally regard as the turning
point of the civil war. 1t would appear that
the suffering of the people in the city while
the siege lasted was very great-so great that
the bombardment had to be suspended for
about three hours, in order that women and
children might leave the town. The Mexi-
can papers donotcontaih an account ofthe cap
ture ofGuadalAjara, but passengers who left
the capital on the 18th report that the city
was taken on the llth inst Next to this
great Liberal victory, the most important
feature of the news is the withdrawal of the
British Minister from the capitalize hav ing
received instructions from his Government to
hold no further intercourse with the Ohnrch
authorities. The condition Of the city of Mex
leo is described as q complete reign Of terror
and the triumph Of the Liberal cause is ear
nestly looked for by all classes Of the Mexican
people. There is every reason to hope that
this triumph vii not now be long delayed.
