A Rule that Will Work EsOfE,
WAYS.

President johnson, in his efforts to recon-
struct the Union and restore harmony and
good feeling throughout the country, has
labored to persuade tie south that the Gov
eminent harbors no feeling of vengeance to.
wards them, that il asks nothing of them Int
submission to the constitution and laws. that
the design is tosgiye them the same full con-
troll Of their own domestic affairs Except as
to slavery that they enjoyed under the con-
stItution. before the rebellion, and that peace
able submission is therefore no less their
duty than their highest and best interest.
The radicals are laboring to thwart TIE
President il these efforts. They insist not
only or c0ndigt punishment of all prominent
rebels, c. the rigid enforcement Of confsca-
ton, buf that all the negroes OF the south, no
matter hou ignorant, degraded, or infamous
shall have the right to vote and bold office,
and that all the whites of the south who do
not consent to be thus bound hand and foot
and turned over to the tender mercies Of no-
gro domination, shall be denounced As disloy
al and excluded from the same rights and
privileges.
The effect of these designs and movements
of the radicals is of course most disastrous 10
all hope of the restoration Of harmony and
good feeling between the north and the south.
In short, their plans, If persisted in, viii
engult all parties and localities in the Union
in new sectional strife that can end only in
another collision Speaking of this danger
Gus faction, the n. Y. Herald says, with as
much truth as force, "If they arc permitted 20
continua their Gisunion schemes, We shall as
su:cly be plunged into another revolution ana
war as that the late rebellion followed the
long and persistent agitation of TIE slavery
question"
When the radicals had complete domino
ton, during the administration of Mr. Lin
coin, members of the democratic party VIC
7entured to question the wisdom of the Pres /
dent were seized without warrant and con-
fined in forts during the pleasure of the Pres !
dent or any of his Secretaries. When and !

to be thwarted by Wendell Phillips, Ex-Gov-
ernor Boutwell,, Senator Summer, and the
whole radical host, embracing half the repub-
lica.i party of the country? ''What's sauce

fratricida war in FTfaich we have been engag-

now lives whose malgn influence is more to

Chief Justice Chase, who recently returned
FROM Southern tour, is represented as pre-
dieting that the freed negroes will gradually
gair the political ascendancy in the la,e rebel
States, and will be the rnlins race of the
South in the future
Chief Justice Chases prediction lacks the
alternative which De Toquevlle says all his
tory would add in sach case, which is: Or
the whites will regain the ascendancy and re-
enslaye the negroes. The history of the
negro and white races occupying the same
territory has been the same in all Countries
in all ages. The negro has either exterrnin-
ated OF driven on; the white man; or the
white man enslaved the negro. The south
will not escape what history shows to be the
universal rule.

AfFLE CHAuPAIGH-We have recent "
learned of a very simple and cheap process of
making Champaign Wine directly from ap-
pies; and as the coming fall will furnish an
abundance of the necessary material, the
recipe may prove interesting to farm ers and
profitable to dealers.
The juice Is pressed directly from sound
apples without previous grinding, because
the bruiSing OF the fruit, III short time, dis
colors the juice, and PRODUCES such other
chemical change, by exposure to the atmos-
phere, as to prevent the practical working Of
the process, while the juice pressed from
sound apples is nearly as iimpid as water.
The juice runs directly from the press into
a filter, consisting of a suitable box about q
foot deep by six inches square. filed with
mixture of pulverized charcoal and clean
sand or fine gravel, about talf and half a
thin layer of straw is put into the box before
it is filled with the filtering material and the
bottom OF the box is perforated with fine
holes.
The juice passes through this filter into
bottles, which should be Immediately corled
to exclude the atmosphere, which gives 1t the
appearance Of the real champaign; and our
informant, who has used the process, ASSURE
us that the wine, after remaining in the cellar
a while presents the action and flavor of the
imported article, with the advantage of being
a much more healthy beverage, while ITS
cost does bot exceed t,eo cents a quart bottle
where apples are plenty. Imported cham>
paign of tie commonest quality, cannot be
bought in this marke. for less than two to
three dollars bottle while its genuineness
and purity are very questionable, to say the
least.
To crush and press apples at one operation
requires very powerful press. We have ex-
amined portable arrangement Of the kino,
quite simple and cheap and ell-adap;ed to
this process. as it is sufficiently powerful TO
crush and press the hardest apples, having
pressing power of 10000 pounds with so lbs.
weight applied to the crank. Such a qpFess
would be good to extract the juice from
grapes, as it would not break the seeds. rad
thereby give "A bad flavor to the -utae.

sale and retail, by Hail. Reed " CO., No. 55

North Carolina is making active exertions
to secure emigration to her territory. Col. j.
NJ Heck and Kemp P. Battle are in New
York, for tire purpose of opening Offices in
the North to furnish information and encour-
age emigration. They say the people Of
North Carolina are anxious to have the
State ii led with Northern settlers, and Gesire
to have their resources fully developed. The
feeling is very strong in favor of the new
system of labor, and large majority express
gladness at the abolition Of slavery. They
offer for sale Or lease large quantities Of lard,
gold, iron and lead mines, and. water-power,
and offer liberal inducements to emigration.
