Rotations 10 the school room, adding
much to the interest Of our meeting.
At the close the following resolution,
were passed:

The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser
says that the annals Of the .fnebriate asy.

fully tho fact that drunkenness is by 20
means confined 80 tho lower classes. The
Asylum was partially opened in 1861,

General L. II. Rousseau.

Our fellow-citizen, General l.. ii. Rous-
seau, who has accompanied the President
during his present tour, will arrive at his
home to-day. The election to Ill the va
cancy in Congress, caused by his resigna-
ton In consequence of the Gaming he gave
to the creature Grinnell, will take place
next Saturday, and General II. will find the
track entirely clear for him. The Radical
Jacobins here, under the leadership of
Hon. James Speed, hate General Rousseau
with a consuming intensity, and they have
discussed the proprioty of running a can
didate against him. They dare not do 1t.
however, for it will expose the miserable
weakness of their faction here. The tri-
umphant Democracy, who carried the dis
trict few weeks since for Duvall by ma
jority of 5,305 votes, fully appreciating the
position Of General Rousseau and recogniz-
ing ssthe prOpriety of his return TO the
seat he vacated under circumstances
so honorable to himself and considerate for
his people, have declined TO interpose any
obstacle to his election and have given hin,
clear field.-LouisUiile Courier.
This gallant soldier and eloquent speaker
will be present at Yandalia, in this county
on Friday, September 81. Let there be
full turn out. General WARD viii also b.

Nothing was needed TO convince us OF
the failure at Vandalia, after seeing the
poor contribution from Dayton, after the
begs Ia the Journal But the account
In the Journal this morning Is all any
one needs TO convince him that 1t was
dead failure. The "thoughtiul, earnest
men" were therel It was "sterling, ef-
fcctive gatheringl" not ''noisy" &c, sc.
The people of Butler had TO have Mr..
john G.. LOWE for chairman. Mr.. LOWE
was not In the hands Ofhis friends. II our
memory serves us right Butler township did
the business for him pretty badly last fall.
Among other things said by Mr.. LOWE,
we copy the following from the Journal:
"The Democracy concede, said Col. Lowe,
that the rebellion was treason, and nobody
can deny that treason is the greatest of
crimes. To steal or to murder Is a crime
Men are imprisoned for either"
AS we are informed by friend, that
HENRY NJ. BRowN was present on this in
tcresting occasion, we suppose there was
nothing personal in Mr.. LOVES remarks.

AGreat Calamity.

The hand Of Providence does indeed seem
TO have fallen heavily upon the South.
While her politicians are engaged Nv an In
sane struggle for resuming control Of the
National Governments a universal wall IL
coming up from her people, ae the prospect
for starvation. the coming year starcs thcm
la the face. A careful examination OF tho
crop reports from that section, renders it
evident that In the great zone of country
which embraces most Of South Carolina,
with the northern and middle portions Of
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, there has
been complete failure Of the productions
that usually sustain life; aud that IN the
year 10 come, as IN the one Just past, public
and private charity will alone save thou
sands from a terrible death. - Cincinnati
GdFeite.
Yes And in the face of this too true Il
history of afIalrs there are 70 be found mis-
cradle politicians, like the editor Of the
Cincinnati Gazette, who would distress and
humlllate this unfortunate people more.
There are asses or cOiodrds who want gtdroR-
tees from such people that they wont turn
around and oyerpower the North. A lu-
matte asylum Is the place for such man.
The South has few people; no army; no
navy; not even farming utensils TO stir the
earth not even the necessarles Of life. Yet
we Of the North, who have conquered
them; who have an immense navy; pow
erful army; populous country; millions
of soldiers in reserve; untold wealth and
resources want guarantees from such peo-
pie.
Tho guarantees that Radicals want arc
only new lease OF power aud plunder.

RIchi Most Decidedly Rich,

The eJoUfndl speaks about ScifENcK giving
the people at Vandalla ap account Of his
Stewardship on the tobacco question; aud
how he finally had Il "hxed 70 suit his
constituents" This is rich news 70 his
constltucnts--espccially TO those who grow
tobacco.
In 1864, when the revenue law was
passed, which bore down so heavily upon
the tobacco men of the West by imposing
uniform rates Of tax per pound, instead Of
an advalorem tax, SCnENcK sat stu and
Rcrer opened his mouth. We challenge proof
10 the contrary.
In 1860 the attention OF Mr.. SCnKNCK's
constituents was called TO this. They sent
him petitions They wrote him letters.
But not word did any Of thom ever hear
from him. lie was too deep In New Eng
land tariffs, constitutional amendments,
nigger bureaus, civil rights bill, &c. Ills
constituents then found II necessary TO
employ representative pro TEN; which
they did. The tobacco men of this county
formed an organization and employed Hon.
LEWIS y. GUNoKEf- at q great expense, 10
pGocecu 70 NWHNhNtoh hHu dttVhu W hnNlT
business. IL was through these means,
after great exertions and great expense,
that Mr.. SCHENcK was slightly walked up,
at length, 10 the fact that the people Of his
district had any interest in tobacco or rev.
cnue laws, lie then splurgcd about terri
bly,, he says; but the only change made Va
In the tax on cigars, which Is but n small
and inefficient one, compared 10 what a
careful representation night have procured.
There Is the same uniform tax on all tobac-
co manufactured into chewing or smoking
tobacco or into snuff.
Thus the interests of Western men have
been sacrificed by their having for repre-
sentatives mere agitators and toadies to the
interests Of the East. Let us be done with
such men.
Yet SCnENCK, having put his constituents
TO the expense of hiring some one else to
attend to his business, had the efirontory
to think himself "worth" $4,000 extra over
his contract price, and voted himself the
additional amount.
Heavy, unequal, double tax for his con-
stituents; but only double pay and extra
pay for Mr.. SCnENCK.
