The Alabama Daily Southern Coufedera

The Alabama Daily Southern Confcdera-
cy, Douglas paper, contains the following
threat of disunion, in case of Lincoln s
election
"But if the worst does come-if Lincoln is
elected, let sUh heart and mind forget the past
AND GO OUT OF THE UNION TOGETHER.
If we permit the blacks to come into power, and
allow them to govern US, they will, in four short
years, infiict mortal sting upon slavery, from
which it will verfccover. We must not permit
it"
1t is worthy to note that the revival OF
this silly threat comes from the Douglas OF
popular sovereignty party, who propose
TO Ego out of the Union if the doctrine
of popular sovereignty is practically carried
out by the people The Albany Journal
fttingly and truly remarks:
But they will not be permitted to go out ex-
eept with a-haiter about their neeks and when
they do CO. they will drop out, like other traitors
before them, from the gallows yard arm

100000 bushels per day, and that many Of
the farmers in Southern Illinois, in view oil
the large amount of old corn they have on

Fer two years we Eave had light corn crops

4 horrible massacre of Christians has
recently taken place in Syria, perpetrated
by the Druses, aided and abetted by the
soldlery of the Turkish Sultan, to whose
government Syria belongsl Many of these
Christians are Americans, French and Brit
ish. but the large majority are natives. usu-
ally styled Maronites. The religion of the
Maronites is that of the Church of Rome,
with one or two exceptions. The DTuses
inhabit the mountains of Lebanon. and are
a bloodthirsty, idolatrous set of sayages.
Hasberyia, an American missionary sta
ton. containing large Protestant commu-
nifty and FIVE church edifces. was taken,
and plundered, and the men, women and
children put to death. More than eight
hundred Christians were slaughtered in this
place alone. Basheya. another station. was
taken. and the inhabitants put to death with
the greatest cruelty. None were saved, and
the Christians of Basheya have been blotted
out of existence!
AT last accounts the massacre was still
going on, and it was feared that the Chris
tians of Damascus and other cities of the
plain would be given up by the Moslem au-
thorities to the fury of the bloodthirsty
Druses. The American, French and Eng
lish Consuls at Beirut were affording pro-
lection to all who sought refuge there. but
could do nothing to relieve those in the in

The Tobacco Plant, paper published at
GAINESVILLE, Va, says that on the fourth of
July, Charles Hudson whipped his negro
woman Jane to death upon his plantation,
in Mecklenburg county. He tied her to a
tree at O'Clock in the morning, and logged
her at intervals until II O'Clock. Then she
was united, but before she could 60 forty
yards from the tree to which she had been
bound. she fell and died. The paper allu-

The King of Naples has offered to the
Sicilians the Constitution of 1912. if they
will but return to their allegiance. This
Constitution is very liberal in its provisions,
and if rendered in god faith before the
breaking out of the revolution would have
been gladly accepted by the Sicilians but
now they refuse it, and are determined to
attach their island to the kingdom of Sar-
DINA. They have no faith In the extended
pledges of a Bourbon, much less King
Bomba. Bourbon domination is evidently
at an end in Sicily.

WOOL GROWING IN THE WEST.


We clip the following items in regard to
wool growing in the West from our recent
exchanges:
The Wool Clip. of Ohio, for the present
year is estimated at Q 900, ooe pounds, worth
about "a, COO, 900.
GREAT YIELD OF WooL.-Mr. Kidder, in
Dodge county, this season, sheared from
two merino bucks, Ell pounds of wool
From the TWO bucks and seven ewes 9l8
pounds, average of over 10 pounds per
head. Mr.. Kidder has flock of 20 sheep,
from the whole flock he sheared 219 pounds
of wool and has 26 fine lambs. Minneso-
Ia Is destined 10 be as fine sheep raising
and wool growing State as there is in the
Union.-ISt. Paul Min. Democrat.
A COOP IEvEsTMENT-J. M. Clark, of
Whitewater, has sold this year from 700
sheep 8, 700 lbs. Of A No. wool, for which
he obtained 10 cents per 10, or S1,729
cash. We call that good farming. We
hope others viii 90 and do likewise Farm
ers of Wisconsin, raise more sheep, raise
more sheep = Wisconsin, Free Democrat.
IMPoRTAT1os OF SHEEP-The Iowa CITY
Republican of last Wednesday saws that
Hon. j. B. Grinnel passed through that
town last week from the East to his home
in Powesheik county. He had been to
Michigan for the purchase of sheep, and
had bought $500 head. They are princi-
pally Merinos, but he secured some Leices-
ters and South-downs. Mr. e. already had
some 800 on his farm. which he says have
realized Linn IS per cent. on the money
invested. This fact gees far to prove that
sheep raising in Iowa is a profitable bust
ness.

ket are as follows:

Proofs multiply upon us every day,
that there is no disposition on the part of
either Breckenridge or Douglas men for
Cancellation, union, cooperation or compro-
mise-or anything else, but Kilkenny cat
fight.
If it will be any consolation to our
Breckenridge and Lane friends, we can, af-
ter having thoroughly examined their
chance in the election, assure them that
they have dead thing of it.-Louisvikle
Journal.
Douglas Is no longer prophet to the
Democratic party, and the party will be no
profit to him.
The st. Paul Ninnesotiam says that
when all of the Democratic papers in Min
nesota have taken their position, they will
stand eleven for Breckenridge and Lane and
four for Douglas and Johnson.
The Omaha Ne6raskiqn is philosoph-
ic sheet. 1t apologiizes for, or rather ex-
plains the absence of Presidential ticket
from the head of its columns, by saying
that it has preference for both candidates
of the Democl attic party but that, mas
much as Nebraska has no vote, it is folly to
keep alive the intestine broil for naught
Therefore it recommends to all good Demo-
Gratis to keep quiet and pray fer the right.
The Westport Border Star says that
Senator Green has ''squelched" Douglasism
in Western Missouri.
The Erie Observer, one of the most in
telligent and influential Democratic papers
in Northern Pennsylvania, thus frankly ad-
mits that the defeat of its party in Novem-
Der is inevitable:
1--WE will not stultify ourselves-we will
not compromise the position of this journal
by misleading its readers with vain and de-
lusive hopes, when there is no room for
hope. United we stand, divided we fall, >
is an aphorism which has never been con-
troverted, neither in theory or practice. No
political party divided can succeed. We
tried it in 1913, and like result followed
from a like cause. And we are about to
enact over again In 1860 tie disastrous
campaign of 1848.'
The DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PAR
TIEs.-The Republicans are in favor Of vo-
ting slavery dozen in cur few Western Ter

From BuenOS Ayres.

Letters from Buenos Ayres, dated onsthe
18th of December have been received in New
York. England was pursuing her difficult
ties with Paraguay, and one of her naval
officers had actually seized the Paraguayan
war steamer Taeuari, as a sort of reprisal
for the sinking of the British merchant YES
sci Little Polly, in the Parana, in 1858. The
war steamer was again released, however.
General Cushman, United States Minister to
the Confederation, had arrived in Buenos
Ayres, with his secretary, Mr.. Brent, and
Mr.. J. G. Brewer, of Newark, an American
tourist. Railroads and steamship communi-
cation were making rapid advances. Politi-
cal agitation still prevailed in Buenos Ayres
10 some extent. Many newspapers were be-
ing started or revived. There was brisk
demand for wool, at good prices.

The Pacific Railroad d.

The President is preparing special mes
sage on the Pacific Railroad, which he will
communicate to Congress in a few days.
The leading points of his recommendations
are believed to be already embodied in a bill
which has been submitted to him and to
many of the Senators who have heretofore
arrayed themselves against all Pacific Rail
road schemes. This bill provides for two
roads the Southern and the Northern Cen
trail. He will urge upon the attention of
Congress the Importance OF a railroad to the
Pacific, as tending to consolidate the Pacific
States with the rest of the Union in insepa-
rable bands, and to preserve them from all
possibility of successful attack and dismem-
berment by Foreign Powers. The Presi-
dent believes that the time has arrived when
the country demands and will have a nation
al highway to the Pacific.

The Harper's Ferry Investiga
fiOn

Mr.. Realf was discharged by the Commit
tee on Wednesday. No further questions
were asked of him. 1t is shrewdly suspec-
ted that his letter of surrender to the Presi-
dent was diplomatic ruse, resorted to in
order to extricate himself from his perilous
position among a slaveholding community
by causing himself to be surrounded with the
safeguards of the law. If such were his OBJ
jects it must be confessed that he succeeded
admirably, as he twice escaped hanging by
being in charge of an officer OF the United
States. He has been notified that the Com
mittee may possibly require his attendance
again. He will leave for New York in day
or two.
Senator Wilson was before the Committee
on Wednesday. He stated that early in
May, 1858, Mr.. Forbes came to his seat in
the Senate chamber, introduced himself and
ployed by Brown to go to Kansas to drill
some forces in 1857; that Brown had not
paid him for his trouble; that his (Forbes)
family was starving in Europe, and that the
men in the East who had contributed money
for the defence of Kansas ought to pay him
He was much excited land denounced Brown
and others. He said that some.of the arms
which were sent to Kansas had passed into
Browns hands, and were stored in Iowa;
that.he was not safe man, and that these
arms ought to be taken out of his control.
Surprising that he referred to the border
difficulties between Missouri and Kansas, and
that Brown might retaliate any attacks up
on Kansas by going into Missouri, he wrote
to DR.. Howe, suggesting to him to see some
of the men who had contributed arms for
defence in Kansas to get those arms out of
Browns hands, and place them in the con.
troll of reliable men in that Territory, who
would see that they were only used for de-
fence. He said that if those arms should be used
for illegal purposes it would involve the men
who had contributed them in trouble. DR..
Howe Immediately wrote back that an order
had been sent to Brown to deliver up those
arms. The matter passed out of his mind.
and he supposed all was right. He never
had heard word about the organization of
forces for the invasion at Harper's Ferry in
Howe had sent his letter to Brown.
Realf says that so far from Wilson being
at all implicated, it was he who put it out of
the power of Brown to commit any illegal
act up to the time when he (Realf) left him
Mr.. Wilson testified that he never saw Brown
but once, in 1859, at Boston, when Brown
remarked to him, "You are the man who
differs in opinion with me-" and passed him
contemptuously by.
Thaddeus Ii yatt arrived in Washington on
Wednesday and appeared before the commit
tee yesterday morning.
