rg7"How far shall the South support the
President 2" is a question which engages
many thoughts and pens at present or to
present it in another view there are those
who argue that an earnest support of the
President, on the part of the South, embar-
RAISES him does more harm than good
makes capital for Radicals, &c. We have
only one suggestion to make upon this sub
ject that the Southern press and people
adopt the motto of the Thelemites Fails &c
que roudrai8, do as you please For our
selves, we have opposed, both by precept
and example, an acrimonious tone, on the
part of the Southern press, as it is incon-
sistent with sef-respect, and because we do
not believe that it is true echo of the SEN
timents of the Southern people. Yet if the
spirit moves any one to be vituperative we
do not object altogether to his letting it
out. What is important is that the precise
sentiments of our people should be under
stood-nothing is to gained by hypocrisy.
In the first place, it will not deceive the
ruling majority in the national councils, in
the next place, if it did, nothing would be
gained by the simulated accord of the sec
tions which would thus be effected. 1t is
bad surgery to heal up sore without
0rst restoring it to healthy state-it will
only break out again.
And as to Southern concentrations of the
Presidents course, why should they be
Withheld? five believe him honest, honor
able, humane and patriotic, shall we stand
aside as if we were Pariahs whose touch
would cOntaminate him For our own part
we would rather stay out of the Union with
the erect attitude of manhood than crawl
into it on our bellies Is it because our
thankful recognition of his impartial course
will render him unpopular with his North
ern supporters-or with his Northern oppo-
sers 1.-THE former are such men as we may
safely look to for justice, We have nothing
to fear, and if they adhere to him from hopes
of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT they surely cannot object
to the numerical force,' whatever it may
amount to, which will thus be added to
their ranks. AS for the latter, we have
yet to discover that their virulence will be
| allayed by any pretended dissatisfaction or
studied reticence on our part. We can do
| nothing underhand, if we would. The adj
vice which is so freely rendered us, to keep
silence, is rendered publicly, and five were
to conform to it, everybody would under
stand the motive; or if they should not.
they could only mistake it for an obdurate
sullenness, which would testify that We
were nottyet sufficiently reconstructed to be
safely entrusted with the exercise of polit-
ical rights.
After all, the straightest paths are the
safest, and confident as we are of the real
loyalty of our people, we would deprecate
all schemes for gainiag temporary advan-
tage by any compromise of the truth as to
what their sentiments actually are.

70 Through the politeness of one of the
managers, says the Cairo Democrat, we had
the pleasure, day or two since, of visiting
the works of the est. Louis Lead and Oil
Company "-unquestionably the most extern
sive establishment of the kind in the West
ern States.
Their works are situated at the corner of
Cass Avenue and Second street, and occupy
about 10000 square feet of ground The
Oil Factory" is very superior fire-proof
building, with all the modern improvements
for handling to the best possible advantage
| immense quantities of haxseed, cotton seed
and castor beans. The presses in this build
ing are capable of producing upwards of
| 100000 gallons of oil per annum from flax
seed and castor beans
Unable to procure a sufficient supply of
| flaXsecd, in consequence of the damage to
| the crop last season, the Company are at
present engaged in making oil from cotton
| seed We are informed that this oil, when
| properly refined, is highly esteemed by drug
| gsts and perfumers; and is also used LARGELY
| by sOap-makers in the manufacture of the
better grades of soap. The cotton seed oil
! cake is highly spoken of by dairymen and
| SbpOh-l0tuClo' anu We lIld8lut UlaJ, IL It's
| valuable qualities were generally known,
the immense piles of it, which we saw in
their storehOuses, would speedily disappear.
notwithstanding their presses produce each
| day enough to supply food for more than 10 :
600 head of cattle.
Their white Lead Factory" has been
completed during the past year, and we learn
from persons who have had an opportunity
of visiting the principal white lead works in
this country, that, for economy in working,
it is not exceled by any other establishment.
The Keg Factory is also a model establish
ment, and one which would interest all per-
sons who have any taste for machinery 1t
| is in this department that " Bankers Patent
Bailed Keg" is made. This Company have,
also, very extensive " Tin Factory" where
| they manufacture " Bankers Patent Safety
Cans" an article devised expressly for the
| New Mexico and Montana trade, for the trans
portation of coal oil and other liquids. We
are pleased to add, that the cans have fully
realized the most sanguine expectations OF
the inventor.
We recommend all parties in want OF
white lead, oils, colors, &c, to call on our
enterprising friends of the st Louis Lead
and Oil Company"

~ Rev. A. II. Deane has been arrested at
Harrisonville. Mo-, for preaching the gospel
without taking the test oath. During the
war he was Major of battalion of Federal
volunteers, and was distinguished for his
services and sufferings in the Union cause,
but he refuses to take the oath as being in
opposition to the spirit of christianity. The
chief instigator of his arrest, says the Mis-
souri, Republican, is man who has never
fred gun for his country.

A method of coating wood wit

Amethod of coating wood with varnish
hard as stone has been recently introduced
into Germany The ingredients are forty
parts of chalk, forty of rosin, four of linseed
oil, to be melted together in an iron pot.

Our Circuit Court closed it's session last
week. There were no trials that elected
much interest. The cases that were tried
were principally attachment suits. Thos.
H. Johnson was indicted for the killing of
D. w. Mickey, and arraigned upon charge
of murder; to which he pleaded not guilty.
An effort was then made by his counsel to
change the renue; but the Judge, upon
hearing all the proof for and against the
application, became satisfied that the preju-
dice was not so great in the public mind but
that he could get tair and impartial trial
in Choctaw county, and consequently re-
fused to change his trial to any other county
He then made a satisfactory showing for q
continuance to the next term of the Court
and was remanded to the jail in Carrollton
for safe keeping.-Vidette.

passage, and before his companions could
succeed in extricating him, their lamps
burned out. They made their way to the
outer air to replenish their lamps and pro-
cure TOOLS but on their return were unable
to find the place again, and at the time of
writing, nearly three days had been spent in
the fruitless search. A postscript states that
Mr.. Knapp had just been found by hunter
near what had generally been considered a
| sink-hole, far from the mouth of the cave
! He was in too exhausted a condition to give

Southern journalism.

The change manifest in the appearance
and tone of the newspapers of the South,
says the Pamela Star-and says it so well
that we cannot help adopting the entire ar
ticle-has attracted the attention of one of
our Northern exchanges. After compliment
ing the vigor, manliness, and general indi-
cations of prosperity evinced by the papers
of the South, our friend INDUCES a contrast
between the journalism North and in the
Southern States, and shows up decidedly in
our favor, as far as the above features are
concerned. He concludes that the general
expectation Of the world was, that our coun-
try had been ruined by the war; that rags
and poverty covered the people, that the
heavincss of their misfortunes had so Slapped
their energies, that years would eiapse be-
fore the country rebounded from its prostra-
ton sufficient to exhibit such evidences Of
energetic and material prosperity as our pa
pers afford. That if the papers of the two
sections were taken to show the most ruined
and injured country, any proper judge, I'M
informed really where the scourge of deSola-
ton had lately passed, would, without hest
lallOll, iinSCIl IudI lltN VI INC 4NOlll Hdu
suffered most.
This is but one Of the evidences of the
earnest energy of our people to build up our
ruins, and no indication of success is surer
than the healthy tones and appearances of
our newspapers. Let the press of the cOun-
try be untrammeled, and the people made to
believe that their allegiance is accepted as
t was given, in good faith, and but few
years will elapse before new prosperity
will bless our section, and the rose will again
bloom where homesteads were burnt. We
of the South have no politics-the thoughts
of the people are engaged in devising means
to restore their lost estates. Our newspapers
are busy only in cOunselling enterprise and
duty, and no slime of party excitement and
abuse assail their fair pages The reason of
the difference is plain, and we advise our
friend to fling from him all the polluting as
sociations of party, and look alone to the
best interests of the country's material de-
yelopmeut.
