We subjoin few extracts, which may not

Our people have never fully understood
the immense resources of the South, in the
way of men and munitions of war. and it is
a shame to think that to day they have a
much larger force than we have. THE wri-
ter had not probably realized the immense
force we are now calling into the field-Ed.

lily. 1t will never die natural death, and
nothing short of the whole energies Of our
Republic in crushing this monster which
has well nigh ruined our once peaceful and
happy nation. We must acknowledge
very sad mistake in supposing that the slave
system would be great draw back to their
successful prosecution Of the war; on the
contrary it has proven itself TO be their
greatest element of strength.
l have seen hundreds Of plantations in
and Tennessee. where there had
been no white man for months to attend to
matters; and the negroes seemed to be just as
busy as if the master and overseer were both
at home. This has given the South an i'm
menss advantage over us in getting an army
and then they use these slaves for
building Notifications while we have had
to use our soldiers.

Ell of Brainard's Sugar Evaporator, Defactor

perfect inventions We have ever beheld,
perfect in all its operations, and is cons,ruc-

ventions. 1t grains the sugar without dis
coloring it. strains itself. thereby rapidly
cooling the juice. The samples Of sugar
made from it are well worth noticing. and
We think that it should be in the hands of
every farmer, as it is not only labor-saving.
but it is placed at such low price that men
of comparatively limited means can obtain
it. II is giving such satisfaction to those
who have tested it. that Mr.. Lefevre is dali
ly in receipt of orders for it. The farmers
of this vicinity should call and see its SIM
plici!y and utility and we know that many
of them will purchase it after seeing it tes-
ted. Mr.. Lefevre can fill few more orders
for it this season. Farmers Of Wayne and
elsewhere call and examine it.

Great Rascality!
THE JULIAN SWINDLE !!

We learn that throughout this Congress
ion al District, that the returns of the cleo
ton, will give Mr. Julian some thee or four
hundred majority. A great proportion OF
this is said to be the result Of gross frauds
practiced in the townships. Even at the
public meetings in tine county,at Dublin and
other points. the Julanites. have insinuated
themselves inio, and broken mp public meet
ings. In Wayne for instance more than
fifty good Union men were driven from the
polls; in Franklin, the same thing was at
tempted with partial success: and in Harris
on an effort was made for the same thing
bat was summarily defeated.
