What a miserable Lar Greeley is.
lie seems to be growing more reck ess
and malicious every day. He tells the
public that if Seymour is elected G over
mr., he was not quite clear on the point
whcp he wrotc) that "not another New
York regiment will ever march out of
this State for the suppression of the Re
bellion-not another soldier will be en-.
listed or drafted to fill up the cannon
mown ranks of onr regiments in the field
The vote cast for the Seymour
candidate may adj reyolution an the
North to oar ,cay IN tie South.
Could anything surpass that deolara
ton for wilIfnl, unbushing, malicious
falsehood No wonder that the democra
cy Of New York is gaining ground,
when the people have such evidence of
republican mcauncss from its leading
organ.

We learned yesterday that the citizens
residing in and around Palmetto have
been considerably excited for few days.
owing to the confessions of negro man
belonging to the Beavers estate in
Campbell county. 1t appears that he
was implicated in stealing some leather.

and then were to make their way to the
Yankees, in response TO Lincoln's proc
lamation. He seemed to be pretty well
posted as to the proclamation declaring
emancipation. and the time it was to
take effect. &c. He told a great many
Of which were probably
true, and many no. but he told enough
to show that our people should be on
their guard Lincoln intended his proc
lamation to incite instruction among us.
There are some vicious negroes among
us the same as there are some vicious
white people or vicious horses /; and the
whole negro race is weak minded and
easily led away by having their passions
wrought upon by incendiaries and EN-
issaries from the North. No doubt We
shall have such vile characters sent
among US for that express purpose. Let
our people be on the alert.
We have often insisted that all kinds
of public negro gatherings. such as balls.

" How did he die ?"
g foor-poor as poverty his life was one
long struggle with the world, and at every
disadvantage. Fortune marked him all the
while with gilded promises that Were des-
tined to never know fulfillment."
." Yet he was patient and enduring" re
marked one Of the company.
g Patient as a Christian ; enduring as a
martyr" was the answer Poor man He
was worthy Of better fate. He ought to
have succeeded, for he deserved success"
q Did he not succeed ?" questioned the one
who had spoken Of his perseverance and en-
durance.
No sir; he died poor, as have just said.
Nothing that he put his hands to ever sue
ceeded. a strange fatality seemed to attend
every enterprise"
Il was with him in his last moments, .

No, he has left nothing behind" was re-
piled. The heirs will have no concern as
10 the administration of the estate"

that IS something

done in the name of humanity" remarked
another.

" And high trust, manly courage. heroic
forttnde."
Then he died rich - was the emphatic
declaration :" richer than the millionaire
who went to his long home the same day, a
miserable paGper in all but gold" A sad
funeral, did you say No. my friend. it was

rial of 4 human clod, but the ceremonial
attendant of the translation Of al angel. Did

OF successes. To every conflict he came off
the victor, AID now the victor's crown is on
his brow. Any grasping, soulless selfish
man, with a share of brsins. may gather in
money, and learn the art of keeping it; but
not one in hundred can bravely conquer in
the battle of life he has conquered and
step forth from the ranks of men, Christian

Conservative Triumph in the North.

The news comes to Us from the North
that the Democratic party have won a
decisive victory in the late elections in
New York, New Jersey. and Illinois
The struggle in New York was a ire
meudous one. and involved issues of the
greatest magnitude Lincoln's emanci-
patton proclamation was directly in issue.
and the result is an emphatic condemna
ton of that infamous attempt at survie
insurrection The same questions were
involved in the elections in all the other
States, and the result is equally as deci-
sive of the popular condemnation of Lin
coin an his administrative policy.
There is some diversity of OPT ion as
TO the bearing these elections will have
upon the impending struggle between
the two sections, but our conviction Is
still decided. that the result viii be de-
cidedly in favor of the South. 1t is a
whitening condemnation Of the whole
Black Republican programme. 1t brings
the two great parties of the North directly
in conflict as to the manner OF conduct
ing the war, and the purposes for which
it is TO be prosecuted. The abolitionists
have not conducted it to suit the Dem
ocrats. and of course the Democrats are
not going TO conduct it TO suit the abo-
litionIsts.
Between these conflicting interests the
war is obliged to anguish, and the issue
soon be brought to close. This is our
view of the subject. and it is the view
which the Aboltionists themselves took
OF the question in the contest. 1t is the
view which the world viii take of il, and
which common sense suggests. Sill.
signs may deceive US, and we must be
prepared for the worst.-Lynchburg Re

Proportions of the Human Figure.

The proportions of the human figure
are strictly mathematical. The whole
figure is six times the length of the foot.
Whether the form be slender or plump.
this rule holds good. Any deviation
from it is a departure from the highest
beauty Of proportion. The Greeks made
all their statues according to this rule.
The face from the highest point of the
forehead. where the hair begins, to the
end of the chin. is one tenth of the whole
statue The hand. from the wrist to the
end of the middle finger, is the same.
The chest is fourth, and from the nip
pies to the top of the head is the same
From the top of the chest to the highest
point of the top of the forehead is a
seventh If the length of the face from
the roots of the hair to the chin be divi~
ded into three equal parts, the first divis
ion determines the point where the eye
brows meet. and the second the place of
the nostrils The navel is the central
point of the human body, and if a man
should lie on his back with his amrs ey
tended. the periphery of the circle which
might be described around him, with the
navel for its centre, would touch the ex-
tremilies of his hands and feet. The
hight from the feet to the top of the head
is the same as the distance from the ex-
tremity of the other when the arms
are extended. These are general meas
ures Of the species.
