A Pitiful Sight.

Under the dominion OF the most gigantic
and disgusting deluson that ever afflicted
humanity, the northern producing forces
have been employed for four years past to
destroy the producing forces of the South.
lhe result is the death, disabement or de.
morallzation Of half of the northern produ-
eng forces as they were enumerated by the
census ot 1860, leaving, perhaps, something
IKE Two millions Of actual healthy and rella.
bile working men in the North, who have a
war debt or mortgage on their bones and
muscles OF some six thousand millions. That
is to say, while the debt of England is four
thousand. millions, and she has ten millions
OF producers to pay il, we have debt of six
thousand millions, and about two mltons of
men are morlgaged for it. But we have
"desr"yed slavery" that is, have morrgaged
The bones and muscles of The white laborers
OF the North to strike down the labor and
annhllaie the property of the South Every
aborer in the North hereafter must give a
certain portion Of each days labor to pay the
''ntrrest on the money expended to destroy
the labor Of the negro in the South. But
this ls not the worst of il; it is not merely
to keep the negro from working, but to make
Inn citizen, their equal, n voter, whose vote
hereafter shall keep the AboIionis,s in pow
er, that they row strive for. The whole
case is therefore Just this: The laborer of the
North must give large portion of each
days toll for the ineslmabe bentf of eq,,an
,z'ng with negroes as well as supporting
them in their idItness Every day and every
hour hardwolking men, unable to clolhe
their children, often, perhaps. to feed them,
in the future must give large portion of
each days toll to pay the interest in money
expended to degrade themselves and their
children to a level with negroes. And mis-
cradle creatures calling themselves Demo.
Gratis have gone about the country glorifving
this Unparalleled treason to their race and
crime against God! The English 'aborer is
robbed Of bis daily toll to support an aris
tocrary; but what were this in comparison
with the condition of the American Iaborer,
taxed to degrade himself and his children to
common condition with negroes? But it
won't stick-tbe negro will be forced to 90
to work again, and the northern Iaborer will
again resume his natural superiority over
negroes, and all the deviism of the last four
years will be obliterated from Gods fair
earth, for this great, young, vigorous people
will not commit suicide, and utterly perish,
as the Spaniards have. 10y anal Igamation

A FLOATING IsLANp-Wyassup Lake, Of
North Stonlngon was originally natural
pond of twenty-five or thirty acres, and con-
taned an island of two or three acres which
was frequently visited by the residents Of the
vicinity. A short time ago, however, th.
Wyassup Reservoir Company raised this
lake seventeen feet, causing the waters to
cover an area of about hundred and seven
teen acres. As the waters rose, the island
rose with them, and u US remains The soil
