From the Lancaster Mtelligenctr
A Prediction.

Governor Brownlow, of Tennessee, in
recent letter to the Knoxville Whg, ex.
presses the opinion that idleness, starva-
ton and disease will remove from the
sphere of mortal existence the majority
of the negroes of this generation, and that
the whole race, in this country, will grad
ually melt away and become extinct, like
the Indians.
This has been the opinion of all sensi-
bic men, who looked at the question from
conservative standpoint for the last two
or three years, and our only marvel is
that Parson Brownlow, who has been so
sadly afflicted with "nigger on the
brain,' should have got his eyes open at
last That the poor negroes will be The
greatest sufferers in the long run, from
forced emancipation, is just as certain as
that night follows day. Incapable of
taking care of themselves, their race is
destined to dwindle and perish before the
superior civilization, intelligence aud en-
ergy of the white man. This has been
the history of man in all ages of the
world, and it is scarcely possible for the
American negro TO form an exception to
the general rule.
AS con6rmatory of this view of the
probable extinction of the negro by dis.
eass and starvation, We may give the fol-
lowing from the New York Tribune in re.
lation to the negroes in the district Of Co.
lumbia
"7he most trighJM mortality exists, as
many as so cctins per oceeh being tarnish-
ed by the Quartermaster's Department.
most Of which are for children. 1t is the
opinion of physicians practicing among
them, and of other close observers, that
three fourths of these children die from
neglect and want. In the family of
soldier, who lost his life in battle, five
out of the ten children have died since
March, 1865, from the above causes. In
another, three out Of seven children of
soldier drafted in December last starred
10 dsah within the kta three peeks."

Old Hickory.

All Americans are familiar with this
soubriquet of General Andrew Jackson
yet very few know how it was earned by
the old hero. happen to be able to in
form your readers.
In 1886 | was intimately acquainted
with Colonel John Allen, United States
agent Of the Chickasaw Indians, residog
in Pontococ; and with his brother, Capt..
Wm. Allen, then merchant in that town.
| learned from Capt VIM. Allen that his
father was a near neighbor of General
jackson, and that he and his brother John
served as scouts in all his campaigns, and
encamped at the same fire, and messed
with him during the Creek war. They
were certainly great favorites with him ;
and he rewarded them for their friendship
by giving them lucrative appointments in
the Chickasaw nation while he was Pres
dent. In conversation with Capt. Allen
about General jackson, on ,ne occasion |
asked him bow he acquired the name of
"Old Hckory?' | give his reply, as
we'll as l can remember, in his own
words !:
During the cambaign which included
the battle of Emucklaw Creek, the army
was moving rapidly to surprise the lndi-
ans. and were without tents. In the
month Of March, Il cold eqQinoctial rain
fell on US, mingled with sleet, which lasted
several days. The General was exposed
to the weather, and was suffering severely
with bad cold and sore throat. At
night we bivouacked in muddy bottom,
while it was pouring down rain, which
froze as it fell. My brother John and l.,
finding that he was very unwell, became
uneasy about him, although he did not
complain, and laid down upon his blanket
by the campfire with his soldiers. Seeing
him wet to the skin, stretched in mud
and water in his suffering condition, we
determined to try and make him more
comfortable.
We cut down stout hickory tree, in
which the sap was rising, and peeled the
bark from it in fakes, cut two forks and a
pole, laid down floor of bark and dead
leaves, and rooted it, and closed one side,
or rather one end of the structure, against
the wind with bark, aud left the other
end open. We then dried our blankets,
and made him pallet in the tent we mad

North and South Carolina, but from Geor-

the recent General Convection to send
aid, and the Roman Catholics too, |
know, are doing world of good in a
quiet way ; yet as the contributions from

q WHY are Dry Goods so high2 While
raw cotton is declining under heavy re-
ceipts from the South, the prices 9fmsa
ufactured goods have been advancing.
This state of things is no doubt bY1a
combination of the manufacture aud job-
Der. Raw cotton is selling at Is eents
per pound, and manufacture goods at
about 81 % per pound, This anomalous
condition of the trade is ascrIbed to the
scarcity of skilled labor, but we cannot
see why the wal should have interfered
with that any more than 3elher branches
Of mechanics. This combination, how
ever, cannot last long, for the profits are
too large to keep up such a monopoly a
