man be elected. Governor OF one OF
those states, Their conventions and
legislatures are Overwhelmingly rebel,
and will be for years to come. Thelr
candidates for Governor, Congress, ana
the legislature, as well as for country
offies, urge their claims for votes on the
ground that they had done all in their
power to aid the rebellion. They are
for legislating northern men out OF the
South @
In a word, the rebels of the South
have by no means abandoned this long
cherished idea of separating the govern
ment. They are looking to this end |;
and more, they are organizing with a
view to this result They do not pro-
pose to dissolve the Union by the use of
the sword and bayonet. They have
tried this i'm wicked war of four dreary
years, and signally failed. Their pur-
pose is to accomplish their internal
plans through the ballOt-Dox in congress,
and they look to the copperhead democ-
racy and other northern traitors to aid
them. Thank God, the recent elections
at the north have blasted their hopes for
the present, and taught them that the
real people, the loyal masses of the
great North, are all right. r.iaa
My hopes for the future are in the
goodness, the obstinate loyalty and de-
termined purposes of the Republican
majority in Congress. pray God they
will not admit rebels into Congress in
discriminatory, because they have taken
the amnesty oath, or obtained the Exc
cutive pardon. As President Johnson
said, let them occupy the back seats for
y few years. -
am one of those at the South who
believe this war has closed out two years
too soon herebels have been whipped,
but not whipI ed enough.
For saying these things expect to be
abused by all rebel papers South and by
all traitorous sheets at the North. Lei

abuse. / am for the American Union

war of parties, or the malice of indi
viduals. sbet. ao

that the freedman, with his crude IDEAS
and childish habits of jumping at con-
illusions, should be half afraid that there
is something terrible yet in store Tor
him. There is also stupid canard In
circulation, harped upon by such jour-
mails to repletion, that in certain por-
tons of this and other states the ne
groes are arming themselves and pre-
pairing for grand uprising against the
whites on or about Christmas. / do not
believe there is the slightest foundation
for such surmises, and this absurd prac-
tice of ventilating every imaginary dan
ger through the newspapers is the worst
possible policy which could be pursued,
even If there were grounds for the ru-
NOR. Quite large number of the freed
men have learned to read during the
war, and they are by no means as
ignorant of what is going on as
is popularity supposed. This precipi-
tate and thoughtless talk about them,
about their inferiority and about the
dreaded instruction can, therefore,
serve no other purpose than to acquaiiit
them of the fact that they are feared and
dreaded, which Ii as good as saying that
their power is recognized as capable OF
being used for infinite mischief and dis
turbance. IT is not wise In these jOurn.

GRAPE CULTURE. was a Ineetiug
of tue Northern Ohio Grape Growers Asso
citation at Sandusky, on the 18th inst, at
which We're present large number of the
leading grape growers Of Ohio and other
States. The varieties Of grape were dis
cussed at much length; with the following
general results:
CATAwBA--In the Lake Shore regions,
including the Peninsula and Islands OF On
tawa county, they are pronounced profita
BILE to cultivate: Southern and Central
Ohio are somewhat against il, To tins
sentiment the repre- sentatives of New York
were partially favorable, while those from
Pennsylvania were not.
lsABEILAs-Good to cultivate in the Lake
Shore Region, and parts of New York State.
Not 80 good in Pennsylvania Or Southern
part of Ohio
DELEwARE-A success in Ottawa, Erie
Delaware Darke, Cuyahoga and counties
on the lake shore, and other places represen-
ted, except near Pittsburg-at the latter
piacedoes not no we'll. "Trip and miIdew
affect it too much. Failed at Cincinnati
this season
CoNooRDs-Good and profitable in all To-
calities particularly i'll warm latttudes. They
ripen as early as the Hartford Prolifics.
JoNAs-New i'll that locality, and not
well tested yet. but all speak favorably of
the variety They ripen about the same
time as the Deewares blossom late, devel-
OPP fast and ripen quickly. In Penusylva-
MIA and on the Island from which it derives
its name. it is general fayoritc.
LoRAIN-This is new chance Seeding
from the garden of Mr. Hopkins, of Lorain
county, where Catawbas and isabella alone
we're grown. The grape is Of a light color;
punches good sized, compact rather of q
nlusk flavor. Received the first premium
1t being the latest unnamed Seeding, 1t
was christened the Loran. for the county
in which it first sprung into existence
The Sandusky Register states that twenty
tons Of grapes are brought from Keleys Is
land and shipped to the east in single day
and still the picking on the island has hard
ly commenced.
