Advertising in Dixie.

In the advertising columns OF the rebel pa
pers, there are some facts more interesting and
more to be depended on, than any reading
matter foundin these same journals; especial
ly the editorials. These advertisements teach
us the financial condition Of the Confederacy,
and set it in porper light, so that all can readi-
~ see the value of rebel currency. In that
"sere and yellow" sheet, the Charleston .Mer
caTy, reward of $50, is offered to the finder
ola twisted grape vine walking stick" and
$25. for an "lndia rubber oil cloth with spots
ofblood upon it, b longing to soldier''
Another advertiser offers $500 for the recov-
cry of his trunk. There are another class OF
advertisements which are quite unique. The
WATERFORD Male Academy is in want of teach
ers, and the successful applicants are notified
that they will be required TO insure the build
ing for $500. Avery likely free negro is Of
fered by the Court, to be sold into absolut'
slavery. And a Farmer 'swants to rent 3
plant alton, situated in a safe locality, In The
interior, furnishing rare opportunity ftI
farming, and a safe retreat for negroes" Tht
last advertisement was probably put in the .; :
pers before Sherman marched through the il
terror OF the "shell" The retreat for negroes
may not be considered quite SO safe now as 4
lew. weeks ago. What life they livei in rebel
dom? And it grows worse every day. Whc
can tell what that country would be II tn,
footprints Of the slave had never crossed it
But The time is coming when it will be glo
rious dwelling place.

"Strikesu in Paris.

Paris is agitated by strikes. The workmen
employed In the different trades have formed
combinations, adopted rules, and arranged a
scale OF prices intended to be more in accord
ance with the increased rate of rent, and the
dearness of all the necessaries OF life, demand
ing at the same time, the adoption of the ten
hour system. Thus far, their proceedings
have been marked by great degree of mod
GRAFTON and a general adherence to their legal
rights; still there are indications OF possible
trouble in the future. In some instances the
employers have wisely met their demands in
the spirit of justice; mutual concessions have
been made, and work resumed without dis
tnrbance. But in a majority of cases, the
employers, taking advantage of the abundance
of labor, and the facilities afforded by capital,
have chosen to resist the claims of the work
men. The result is, that immense numbers
are thrown out of employment at the most
trying season of the year. Much suffering
must necessarily ensue, and if government
is not prompt to take the case in hand, very
grave consequences may be looked for. The
working classes of Paris constitute an element
which it is never safe to tamper with. A very
slight disturbance 10 the complicated machin-
cry of society is sufficient to show the volca-
no over which the social structure is built.

Winter EVENINGS.

The long evenings are here now, and the
majority ofour young men find many hours Of
leisure, at their disposal. 1t is well to consid-
er little, the value of these hours, and to &C.
cupy them in such way that they shall not
be worse than wasted. The billiard saloons,
the drinking houses, and the many resorts of
vice, or at least, of idleness, with which our
city abounds, will put forth their attractions; ;
but these should be carefully weighed with
other. aad less dangerous modes of recreation
There are many excellent public Libraries in
the city, opening rich stores ofamusement and
instruction. The time devoted to acquiring
information on scientific, or other important
subjects, can never be regretted; and the ad-
vantage in after life OF miud trained TO vigor.
GUS and healthy action, by habits of reading
and reflection, is too great to be estimated
Many young man has laid the foundation of
future distinction, merely by judicious use of
his evenings.

EGerritt Smith lectured at Cooper Institute,
New York, Wednesday evening, in favor Of the

Inmates that access must have been had to the

This must be mistake. No high minded prin-
ter would allow outsiders fumbling among the
copy of such documents, before they were ready
for publication through the regular channels
Printers are proyerbially ,reticent and prudent
in such matters; and then the printer would have
no more right to do SO than he would to expose
the manuscript copy of the Governors Message

Disappointed,

1t Is wel-known fact that during the last
three OF four years great many of the slave.
holders of the South, foreseeing the ruin Of
their darling institution at home, have emf
grated with their slave property to Brazil, be-
lieVing that there they might enjoy all tht
benefits of the system. To all such the recent
Imperial Decree, emancipating all slaves OF
African descent, whether in the service of The
State or of individuals, will prove severe dis
appointment. The progress of civilization IL
too rapid for them. They must emigrate once
more, and to save time they had better betake
themselves at once to Dahomey. Outside Of
that favored kingdom there will soon be no
darkness dense enough to favor the growth Of
such barbarisms as they delight in. .eH
Slavery in Brazil has never been marked BY
such extremes Of severity as in our Southern
States. Manumission has always been easy
under the laws, and once free the negro found
all callings and offices open to him, and color
no barrier to bis success. The whole number
OF African slaves in the empire was about
100000. The decree of Don Pedro, by
which so many are at once raised from state
of chattel hood to that of manhood is there
fore an act Of the highest Importance. An
other of the stumbling blocks in the path OF
humanity has been removed; another of the
hideous despotisms of past age of barbarism
has been swept away by the ever rising tide OF
better and purer civilization.

Fenianism in Ireland.

The Fenian Brotherhood, whose operations
have lately excited some alarm among our
Canadian neighbors and elsewhere, are giving
promise of trouble in Ireland. Their latest
exploit has been the burning in effigy of
Catholic clergyman, the parish priest of Rath,
because he had denounced their order from
the altar, and had been instrumental in having
one Of them committed by the magistrates for
administering unlawful oaths. What makes
the case the more extraordinary is the charac
ter Of the priest, who had devoted himself to
the good OF the people. The Cork Examiner
says that during the time Of the famine ba as.
sisted to rescue hundreds from staryat;on +,
the streets of Cork he begged for them from
door to door. In the lobby OF the House Of
Commons, 10 the Cabinets of Ministers of
State, and through the public press, he never
wearied Of fighting the battle for these suffer
ing creatures who have now burned him in
efigy. 1t is plain that Fenianism intends to
brook no opposition, no matter how sacred or
how honored be the quarter in which it
arises.

A French View Of President Lincoln's

Reelection.
An editorial in the Paris Debdts, contribnt-
ID by NJ. Provost Paradol, one of the alb est OF
French writer's, pays The following handsome
lribute to the loyal people of this coun ry.-
| ae says: q
sin electing Mr.. Lincoln by crushing ma
| iority, the American people have given the
world remarkable example of intelligence
md patriotism. 1t has proved that the FEEDER
II form of union is capable OF withstandiDg the
everest trials; that the people know how to
moose Their leaders with sound judgment.
It has declared to the whole world that the
Union shall not perish, and to the South that
here exists no choice for it, but between SUBJ
mission or complete subsection. Such is the
igni6cation of the election of the 9th of No
'ember last, accomplished in the midst of the
orofouDdest tranquility. If there be any ma
ion in Europe interested in denying the gran
| ieur OF such spectacle, or wishing to see SO
loble an effort miscarry, of a surety it is not
he French people, irrevocably devoted to De-
nocracy, and interested MORE perhaps, than
my other in seeing Democracy face success
July the most eminent perils."
M. Provost Paradoli is a great lover of DEM
ocratic principles and one of the most talented
LIBERALS In Europe. He has brilliant
mind and heart that feels for his fellow men.
There is music in such voice as it comes to
us across the ocean; but there is no concord
of sweet sounds" in it for Louis Napoleon's :
ear. M. Provost Parodol cares not for that. i
Regardless of crowns, sceptres, diadems, or
other symbols of royalty, be goes in for the
rights of humanity the world over.
The Republicans and Liberals of Europe
watched our recent election with an intensity Of
feeling and of interet which we little dream Of
They hope and pray that our Union may new
er be broken into fragments, and that our ex'
pertinent of selfgovernment may never prove
failure. And when they heard the result OF
our Presidential election their hopes grew
brighter and their praye more fervent. Like
eloquence and beauty, there is, in the spirit Of
Liberty, 'prone and speeches dialect" that
moves the hearts of men and gives fresh i'm
pulses TO the cause of human brotherhood.

White sayages.


The Territorial Legislature of Arizona has
passed law offering a bounty of$IOO each for
Apache scalpsl 1t is difficult to believe that
10 our boosted nineteenth century any legisla-
i've body could be guilty Of such an act as
his. Doubtless the people OF Arizona have
suffered fearful provocalions at the hands oe.
these sayages, but do they imagine the matter
can be mended by course which goes 10
prove them quite as savage as anything wear
ing red skin9 Barbarity begets barbarity
cruelty calls forth cruelty in return. If the
general and local governments would adopt a
somewhat more humane policy in their treat
ment of the Indians of California and New
Mexico. the result would be beneficial to all.
The fact is well known, at least by all who
have lived in California, that In many regions
west of the Rocky Mountains, 1t is the Gus
tom Of the whites to shoot Indians at sight as
y they were wild beasts. Is 1t strange that
they behave like wild beasts, or that they re-
taliate in kind whenever they can? Such
state of things is disgrace to humanity and
to the age in which we live. @'H

Facts Of History Set Right.

Mr.. Wendell Phillips is being quoted by
Democratic journals to the following effect:
1t is an unfaiiing rule of national lite that
the party that carried you through the war al
ways vacates [ flee when it is ended, and the
other party comes in. La 1868 or 1872 the
Democracy is to preside at the White House.
Whether Mr.. Phillips made this statement
or not we do not know, but ifhe is the author
o it, it only shows that he is as careless in his
historical Iacts, as he is known to be ia some
other respecs. Since our nation has had life.
it has had but two wars prior to the present
the war of 1872 Is, and the Mexican war
The Democratic party carried on the war of'12
is, but SO far from yacating at its close, for
the advent OF the other party, it in fact held
the government till 1871, except the four years
from 1925 to 1929, when minority candidate
In the Electoral Colleges was made President,

Dark Proanaot for the RAhals.

Since Hoods defeat by Gen. Thomas, the
complaints against JEFF Davis have been loud
and long. No wonder his nerves are un-
strung, and neuralgia troubles him. Indeed,
the complaints against him and his Govern
ment are already 80 numerous and so bitter,
that his organ, the Richmond Sentinel, is
forced to acknowledge if they are not stop
ped. The South will soon seethe with sedition,
mutlny, anarchy and violence, and will be
overtaken with terrible ignominious and
HOPELESS overthrow and ruin" Never were
the prospects Of the rebel leaders so dark and
appalling as they are at the present moment.
The above confession from the Sentinel speaks
volumes. The language is strong and the
picture drawn Is a frightful one to traitors
and rebels. Their Vice President Stephens,
saw it all and gave them ample warning, but
they needed it not, and now his prophecies
have become history. The Gods have indeed
made them mad, and destruction must follow.

The Ra,s Why

Under the above caption the Toronto Globe
has long and elaborate article In answer to
a captions correspondent who enquiries why
that journal takes sides with the North, and
condemns the South. The Eiitor gives many
reasons for the faith that is in him, and emu
merates the liberal journals of Canada and Of
the old countries which take the same courfe
in relation to our civil war. The Canadian
journals are the Montreal Witness and Her.
aid, the Times in Hamilton, the Brstlsh
American in Kingston, all of them leaoing
papers. And il is safe to say tnas Oh the ne
eral papers published in the towns and villa
Res throughout the country, four-iifths are Of
the same views.
In England the London Daily NeDs and
the London Star, known every where as the
leading Liberal journals of Great Britain, are
for the North, and the same is true of the
chief Liberal papers sud magazines of the
Kingdom. In France also, the Liberal jour-
nails give all their sympathy to the North. So
also are the Liberal leaders the world over in
favor of the North. The manufacturers, the
working classes, the producers of the wealth
of nations are on our side.
The scientific men Of Europe, though not
politicians in the ordinary sense of the word,
are for our Government and against the reb-
els Of the South. And none know all these
facts better than the rebel leaders themselves.
The great heart Of the world beats in our ia
vor, and then why should any one be surprised
that Liberal Journals should favor our cause
and condemn the rebellion? Public opinion
everywhere-pure, healthy, unbiased, unsel-
ish public opinion-the instincts Of humanity,
all are In favor of our Government. And
such a public opinion is the great lever that
moves the world. How then can this South
ern rebellion live long with such tremen-
dous power breathing upon it? Every intel
ligent person who knows anything of the
history Of events in this world and has watch
ed their progress can easily find an answer.
