Charlie Faxon, well known in this section
as one of the editors of the Rebel, while it
was published at Selma, whose insuppressible
waggery and hopelessly homely phiz are yet
remembered in this section by those who were
so fortunately constituted as to be able to
look upon his features while they listened to
the "wit and wisdom which burst up from
the depths of an honest heart that put forth
in an endless stream, is now the leading edi-
tor Of the Louisville Courier; and the follow
ing is not among the worst things to which
he has treated the readers of that best of
newspapers, except the Aews and NIssis
stPpian
ga writer in the Journal of yesterday, in
letter from Lebanon, Kentucky. SAYS that
the editor Of the Courier "has been guilty of
treason" and Gowns his life through the
clemency of the Government" This is a
mistake We own our life--irst, through
the favor of God; second to a remarkable
exemption from all epidemic, infectious and
contagious diseases; third, to regular and alb
stemious habits; fourth, to clear conscience,
sixth, to the fact that we did not happen to
get in the route of bullet or cannon ball
during the war; and FINALLY, but not ex-
haustlvely," for the reason that we have not
heretofore died. The "clemency" of which
the correspondent speaks, we suppose, was
exercised because of our extraordinary merits
and enterprise. Believing that republican
government was good thing, we endeavored
to make two out of one, under the impress
sion that the more Of good thing the better
We failed, but the Government thought it
but justice to give us certificate of the fact
that we did make the effort -NesOs and

The SOUTH WILLING TO LEAVE HER
DESTINY TO THE VoTE OF NORTHERN
SOLDIERS. exchange says those who
fought and won the victory in this free land
are the only ones who have the right to de-
eide the status of the vanquished. Especially
is this so, when those victorious soldiers con-
stitute vast majority Of the whole voting
population Of the ''loyar States. To them
the South is willing to leave the present de-
cision of all political questions involving her
interest and her destiny. Let them decide
what shall be done with the ignorant, sud-
denly emancipated negro, and the South will
be content to let them decide whether the
lands and the whole property of those who
have received the pardon of the Government
shall be confscated or not, and the South
will acquiesce. But the Southern people will
feel irretrievably wronged and degraded if
the settlement of these questions is left to
those intolerant fanatics, whose cowardly
souls shirked the combat, whose greatest de-
light is insulting and trampling on a fallen
foe, and who are not less despicable IN num-
bers than in character and conduct Ncks-

Towing by Locomotives.

The Buffalo Commercial has lately revived,
through correspondent, the proposition to
tow canal boats by steam engines running on
tracks along the banks, instead of horses, as
at present. 1t is said that the average speed
of boats moved by horsepower through Our
canals is two-and-a-balf miles per hour, If
by steam we can double this speed, we can
double the amount of freight moved. The
present capacity of the Erie canal, with single
locks and using horsepower, is six millions of
tons for an average period of eight months.
1t is idle to talk of towing heavily laden boats
five miles an hour. The water they displaco
is relatively too large proportion of all the
canal contains to admit of this. If they can
be moved three miles per hour it would do
very well. Steam-towing would Of course be
done by the State, and the cost of towing
would be paid the same as tolls. ,s.. ~

son temporarily, and ultimately to Harvard

they shall always be kept together in one case,

a MODEL FARM.-A gentleman of Column

which a Federal General carries on a South
ern plantation The farm is rented by Brig
Gen, Croxton, once the commander of the
district, and be employs seventy freedmen
who formerly were members of coored regi-
ment. It's colonel is the ovelseer Each
grown laborer is paid $3.50 per year, and
furnished with rations of bread and meat for
himself. The wife and children of the labor
ers is permitted on the place. but the owner
will not support them. They must support.
themselves or the laborers must. The freed
men go to the fields provided with their PTS
tolls and revolvers, and if rabbit, squirrel or
other game is seen. all hands leave their
ploughs to kill it.jig Our informant passed the
place on rainy Saturday, and was told that
the freedmen were all out gaming. 49, -4,

will pay. The farm is situated in Houston

A FIGHT WITH A BEAR--A man living
near Pambina lin Dacotah Territory had a
terrible fight, short time since, with a
grizzly bear for his boy-a fine lad, ten years
of age. The father and son went out in the
brush, looking for a colt that had strayed off,
and more than rod apart, when suddenly a
bear rushed upon the boy, with terrible fe-
roeity.1 The child had time to give but one
wild, heart-freezing shrek of horror before
the bear seized him. The father, drawing a
large hunting knife from its sheath leaped to
the rescue, and horrible contest ensued. -
The bear was powerful creature, and fero-.
cious with hunger; but the father was fight
ing for his boy. Though much torn by the
teeth and claws of the bear, he won the fight,
and succeeded in carrying his son home in
his arms, where both were, at last accounts
rapidly recovering from their wounds

A IIint to country Maro;,ants.

From our Charleston exchanges VIC learn that
stocks Of goods, at the lowest kind of prices, but
that business is dull-stup;dly dull" Tho Cou-
rier Of late date says "It has not long been
the custom for New York merchants to seek
Charleston as market for purchasing dry goods
hardware and groceries. Yet, in the past week,
goods Of that description havo actually boon sold
in this market to be shipped to New York, for
the simple and no other reason that the prices
were lower here than thero. Grocery dealers tell
US they can go to houses in this city to-day and
buy certain articles at prico considerably lower
than is demanded in New York"
And the Charleston Nerrs states that the import
trade Of that city, for the first nth of the pres;
cnt year, exhibits avery large increase, compared
with the previous Lionth since the opening Of the
port in July, 1865. The total amount of customs
for January, 1866 is $7s,l2l,7S, being an increase
of over 100 per cent. over the previous month,
and ;making the monthly average of customs
nearly $25,O00 These importations consist ofdry
goods, hardware, cutlery, iron, earhenware, salt,
tin, segars, tobacco sugar, molasses, ale and por
te-, spirits, wine, bagsing, rope, teas coffee,
chinery, etc.

A Word. for Newspapers.

-- WA nlir tho foifOui.s -rticte from an Aroia"s-
1t is true, and we commend it to every man who
has IN interest where he resides:
Nothing is moro common than to hear people
talk of what they pay newspapers for advertising,
etc., as so much given in charity. Newspapers
by enhancing the value of property in their neigh
hood md giving the localities in which they ars
published o reputation abroad, benefit all such,
particularly if they are merchants Or real estate
owners, thrice the amount yearly for the meager
sum they pny for their support. Besides, every
public spirited cilzcn has laudable pride in
having a paper of which he is not ashamed, evcn
though he should pick it up in New York or
Washington.
A good looking, thriving sheet helps to sell
property, gives character TO the LOCALITY, and
in all respects is desirable public convenience.
If, from any cause the matter in the local or
editorial columns should not be quite up to your
standard, do not cast it aside and pronouncc it Of
no account until you are satisfied that there has
becn no more labor bestowed upon it than is paid
for. If you want good, readable sheet it must
be supported. And it must not be supported ina
spirit of charity either, but because you fee!
necessity to support it. Tho local press is the
power that moves tho people York Tribune.
