Yours is just begun. and it remains for you
to make such an effort as will be rewarded
with success. You have ticket superior to
that of your opponents, and the interests of
the people will be subverved by electing
every man on it. Especially does it become
the duty of every democrat in Rock Island
to do his best from now till the box is closed
on Tuesday evening. Upon you rests the re
sponsbility,of rolling up big majority in
this city. The most extraordinary efforts
will be made by the court house clique, the
negro sutfrageists and Name law men to car
~ this town. and it becomes you to see tina,
no democratic vote is lost Oh q single candi-
date Every individual democrat should re-
member that he has duty to perform him
self, and not leave all the hard work fol-
two or three men to do, but each do some
thing to get out a full vote, and to save every
! vote possible. The case Is now in your hands,
felow-democrats, and on you rests the re-
sponsibility of the result. Let your efforts
be such that you will have nothing to regret
! after the ballot box has closed.

THE negro suffrage and Maine law organ
thinks Burton H. Cook possesses no me-it or
he would have been promoted. Were all
meritorious priyates promoted? Did every
man who went to the war, and was not pro.
NOTED, lack merit? Could all the meritori-
Gus men who went to the war be promoted !.
Were all who did not receive promotions un-
deservingP
The fact is that there were thousands of
men who carried the musket who would have
made better officers than many who were
fortunate enough to get office. If Cook had
had influential political friends to get him a
first lieutenats commission at the outset, as
Beardsley had, Cook might now have been a
colonel or a brigadier.

All About the Negro.
NEGRO FARMING.

The Rev, W. T. Richardson writing
from Beaufort, in respect to the negroes
on Port Royal and the adjacent islands,
says;
Four miles from Georgetown, S. c.,
there is a large plantation, of which
nearly one thousand acres are in tillage.
No white man is upon it. Last spring,
one hundred and sixty negroes banded
together, chose one of the smartest Of
their number as superintendent and com
menced work. Now they show you
with pride two hundred and fifty acres
of rice, two hundred and fifty acres Of
corn, nearly the same amount of peas
Oceans we should call tAem,) besides
many acres of smaller crops. The joint
stock company are working not only
with energy, but in perfect harmony
They expect to harvest over l., 900 bush
els of rice alone.

ANDERsoNvILLE WIRz AT HoME.-Now
that the trial of Capt. Wirz, of Ander.
sonville notoriety, is ended, and the dis
closure can do him no harm, we may
mention that, most assuredly, he is not
very highly esteemed in his own native
Switzerland. A paper published near
Zurich, and called the Winterthur-L Land
bote, (Which, being interpreted, means
the Winterthur Messenger,) says that he
is a native of Zurich, where, twenty
years ago, he held small appointment
in the Merchants hall. He did not emil
nently distinguish himself there, for, in
April, 1847, he was convicted on a charge
of forgery and embezzlement, and SEN
fenced to four years imprisonment and
hard labor in the house Of correction.
Being sickly person, and having suf-
fered from illness in prison, he was dis
charged when his sentence had run only
year. Shortly before 1860, he emf
grated to the United States. His career
in this country is we'll known, and, no
doubt, will soon be closed by the last
punishment of the law.

FRENCH BARBARIsM IN MExIco.-A
sorry work the French-Austrian dynasty
seems to have made of its bastard enter
prise of carrying "Latin civilization "
into Mexico. During the three years of
rule 1t has thus far enjoyed, it has only
added to the disorder, the poverty and
wretchedness of the country. It has
added, also, peonage and despotic tyran-
ny. At last, wearied by the steady re-
sistance of the National troops, Maxi
milan by his proclamation of Oct. Sd,
has authorized the assassination Of every
prisoner thereafter taken by his forces,
ANY Mexican soldier captured is to be
tried at once by the officer of the cap
tors-no matter if he is only lieuten-
ant or corporal-and shot within "a
hours; and this whether he has made
resistance or not. This, it will be seen,
is nothing but murder-the hoisting Of
the black flag. The Liberals, OF course,
have to retaliate, and so we have the
account OF five French officers being
hung by them.

The FENIANs TO INVADE CANADA
The Toronto Leader has dispatch from
Montreal, stating that Mr., Perreault, a
member of the Provincial Parliament,
lately addressed large assembly, tell
ing them that the Irish were driven by
the tyranny of England to avenge them
selves upon their hereditary foes aud ty-
rants in the manner they were now
doing. The society Of Fenians was in
cited by the wrongs of an injured peo-
pie. He said that the Fenians would
invade Canada during the ensuing win
ter, and would hold the Upper Province.
That they would do so was no matter
of doubt, and they would then have the
money of the provinces in their hands,
with which they could buy and equip
ships and carry on war against Eng
land. These assertions caused good
deal of excitement and alarm.

THE CHoLERA.-We give some space
to-day to a report Of the appearance Of
the cholera in the harbor-brought hith-
er by the steamship Atlanta, from Lon
don via Havre There is good reason at
all times to be on guard against import
ed pestilence. But we see nothing what
ever to cause even momentary alarm in
the cases of ship cholera thus far re.
ported. Overcrowding is the usual
agency at work on shipboard. And
looking to the number of steerage pas
sengers crowded into the holds of the
ocean steamers, it is altogether marvel
Gus that epidemics on board do not rage
ceaselessly from land to land. We have
far more to fear in New York every day
from typhoid and other fevers, than from
Asiatic cholera. We think, therefore,
that the officials are making quite as
much fuss as the occasion calls for. Pas
senger vessels that come here over
crowded must have disease on board

A LUCKY PRINTER.-Mr. f. X. Massey,
the foreman on the HERALD, was out
hunting last Friday, and while standing
and watching for a squirrel, q mink
came behind him and passed between
his legs, when instantaneously he
brought down the breech Of his gun on
the mink's neck and killed him. The
skin Of this animal taken at this season
cannot be worth less than five or six
dollars.
On the same day, while still watching
for squirrel, he heard the sound of
bees and soon discovered the hole in a
maple tree through which they passed
and e-passed. The value Of this dis
covery we have not yet learned.

w dSuluS GOLI OCJ, -OGLlI lOpo'
To James John8on Provisional GorGWoy, MI
EedgerAe Ga.:
Your dispatch has been received. The
people Of Georgia should not hesitate
one single moment in repudiating every
single dollar of debt created for the pun
pose of aiding the rebellion against the
Government of the United States. 1t
will not do to levy and collect taxes
from State and people that are loyal
and in the Union, to pay debt that was
created to aid in taking them out and
subverting the Constitution Of the Unit
ed States.
l do not believe the great mass Of the
people of the State OF Georgia, when
left uninfuenced, will ever submit to
the payment of debt which was the
main cause Of bringing on their past
and present suffering, the result Of the
rebellion.
Those who invested their capital in
the creation of this debt must meet their
fate, and take it as one Of the inevitable
results Of the rebellion, though it may
seem hard to them.
1t should at once be made known at
home and abroad, that no debt contract
ed for the purpose of dissolving the
Union, can or ever will be paid by taxes
levied on the people for such purpose.
ANDREW JOHNSON,
President Of the United Stotes.
