The Conservative journal, the
Philadelphia Mercury, stepping
aside from the discussion of prin-
ciples involved in issues raised by
the Radicals and of the measures
particularly the Constitution
al Amendments" s"-they propose
for the ruin and enslavement of
the South, sometimes INDUCES in
exceedingly appropriate and high
ly Illustrative personalities" in
which the Radical leaders are
shown as they deserve. The fol-
lowing dashing pen-and-ink sketch
of two of these partisan clrieftains
is highly entertaining, and shows
of what stuff the Radical house
hold is made up.
"And who is Mr.. Stevens? Not
a Pennsylvania, thank God, but
a Yankee intruder into this State,
whose reputed wife is a negro, and
whose children are mulattoes.
And who is Carl Schurz? A
wretched adventurer, who is a
traitor to his native land, fed
hither for refuge, kept a lager
beer saloon in this city, and failing
in that, has lived ever since on the
Government that has rescued him
from the penalty of treason and
the obscurity ola scullion."
The "little fact" mentioned a.
bout Thad. Stevens is highly per-
tinent as accounting for the excess
i've Radicalism of the worst, and
bitterest, and most anti-Southern
Of the Radical tribe. No wonder,
after this, why the old miscegen-
ating, blackleg King of the Radi-
calls should go such lengths in his
hatred Of the South.

A Tough Question.

Messrs. Cooper, Maynard, Stokes,
and others, claiming seats in Con.
grtss as Representatives, present
ed yesterday to the Senate peti-
tion asking for the recognition of
the present State Government Of
Tennessee. One of the best claims
that Government has to recognize
is the fact that both branches of
its Legislature have voted that
they do not desire that the State
should be represented in Congress,
if the admission of it's delegates
involves the surrender of the
State to its own control, and the
withdrawal of the United States
forces. What say Messrs. May
nard and Co. to that? IN 7. Tib-
qsRe.

Many Southern people are grow.
ing distrustful of President John,
son. Wedo notpartake of the feel.
ing. We have an abiding faith
in the President. We believe he
will yet put his heel on the neck
of the Radicals. Thus far He has
been the bulwark to stay the tide
of tanaticism which seeks the de-
struction of the South. But for
Andrew johnson our condition
would be infinitely worse than it
is now. IF the President should
make an open war with the Radi-
Gals, they would crush him. He
is acting with great caution and
prudence, and in this be is acting
judiciously for the people he is
protecting. He is giving form,
body and strength to the Consti-
tuition, and thus strengthening the
South. Our people need have no
fears as to the President. He has
been our friend thus far, and be
will be a still better one hereaf

Brownlow's fame has travelled
even to Petersburg in the ''Old
Dominion" The Express of that
place speaks of him as follows:
BEsET, BEsIEGED, AND HAUNTED
BY "REBELs. His Sanitary Emin-
ence-the Rev. Gov. Brownlow, of
Tennessee-is becoming fearful of
the future. He is haunted bv
"Rebels;" terribly exercised lest
they come into power in the State
over which he SO graciously pre-
sides. He writes private and pub
lie letters against them, and cannot
find sufficient terms of abuse by
which to denounce them. He
makes public addresses to the '1oy-
all whites and SUPERFICIAL freed
men, against associating with or
countenancing the horrid I'Rebels."
He dreams bad dreams about them
continually, curses them In his
prayers, and bewails their right to
existence under the bright sun
shine of Heaven. His jaundiced
eyes can see nothing but impudent
"Rebels," and his keen ears can
hear nothing but treason, and I'M
der his very nose fourteen odious
'Rebel" newspapers publish ''Reb-
ELI editorials for his edifcation.-
Was ever man so beset? For
fighting for cause they thought
was right, the Rev. Governor
wants them disfranchised. For
still daring to have opinions, of
their own, he calls them ''rebel-
lious," and wants them suppressed.
For not crying out from the bot
tom of their hearts: "Yea, am
am loyal" and licking the
boots Of the Radicals, he does not
consider them entitled to re-admis-
sion into the Union.
"Alas for the rarity
Of Christian charity
Under the sum-"

Russel's Opinion of Grant

The London Army and Navy
Gazette, edited by w. FL. Russell,
of London Times correspondence
fame and Bull Run memory, in
noticing General Grants report
says: General Grants theory of
warts simply this: 81 have 250,000
men to the 10000 of thesenemy.
| shall not attempt any strateget-
ical movements. / shall not try
myself in the open field or rase
campagne against Lee; but l will
fight the enemy whenever l can,
in the conviction that | will make
him lose as many men as | do and
that at last, when / have re-
duced my army to 10000 men,
he will only have $4,000, and that
/ must then win. He saw no
position, practiced no grand move
ment, but hammered away till
the head of the hammer was nearly
fattened and destroyed; but at
the same time other tremendous
armies were hammeriug at the Con-
tederates on similar principles, and
the terrible rule in arithmetic was
worked out. But who, seriously
and candidly speaking, will pro-
nounce that such a system is en-
titled to the praise reserved for
high efforts of military genius?-
Not General Grant, for he appeals
to the great end in view as the
justification of his practice"

A HARD HIr.--The New York
Commercial Advertiser (Republi-
canl thus refers to the class of Re-
publicans in Congress who voted
for negro suffrage there, but whose
constituencies oppose it at home:
If it were only possible for the
Republicans to be as honest in re-
gard to suffrage in Connecticut,
in New York, in Illinois forinstance
as they are in a community where
they have no interest except as
satraps, it would be an encoura-
ging sign, but in the presen infirm-
ity of human nature we must ex-
-pect to see them busy in removing
,lnotes from eyes south of the Poto-
mac, while they wink at beams in
the eyes east of the Hudson, and
north of the Ohio. 1t is refresh
ing to see the names of the four
Republican members from Con-
necticut recorded in favor of a
measure repudiated by the Repub-
licans of their own State. 1t
show. bow careful we are Of the
consciences of others and how
mindless of our own.

in thin continuous streams. Just
over our heads we observed a
wooden plug, of the thickness of a
mans leg; there is hole there,
and that plug is all we have to
keep out the sea.
Immense wealth of metal is
contained in the roofs of this gal
lery throughout its entire length,
but it viii lemain untouched; the
miners dare not take it, for it is a
part (and great part) of the rock
which is their only protection
against the sea, ,sand which has so
far been worked away here that
its thickness is limited to an aver
age Of three feet only between the
water and the gallery in which

A SUDDEN CURE.-A professed
thief named Dugal McCaul, in the
highlands of Scotland, went out
on an excursion one night accom-.
panied by young man who was
learning the same trade. The
latter was to take sheep, while
McCaul was stealing kale, and
both were to meet in a neighbor-
ing churchyard, where they would
not be likely to be molested, as
the place was said to be haunted.
McCaul arrived first and sat upon
one, of the gravestones waiting
for his companion. In a neigh
boring farmhouse a crippled tailor
happened to be at work, and the
conversation having turned upon
the churchyard being haunted, he
taunted some young men present
with cowardice, saying that he
would readily go If he were not
lame. Upon this a young man Of
fered to carry him there upon his
back, to which the tailor agreed,
and they were soon at the place.
McCaul heard them, and supposing
his companion with the sheep, in
quired, els he fat?"
"Fat or lean, there he is for ye,"
replied the terrified young man,
throwing down the tailor and run
ming away at full speed. Upon
his return at the farmhouse to the
of all, he found the
tailor close at his heels-his fright
had given him the use of his legs,
and his lameness was permanently
cured.

WHIsKEY AND NEwsPAPERs.-A
glass of whiskey is manufactured
from perhaps dozen grains of
corn, the value of which is toe
small to be estimated. A glass of
this mixture sells for dime, and
if a good brand, is considered we'll
worth the money. II is drank in
a minute on two. 1t fires the
brain, sharpens the appetite, de-
ranges and weakens the physical
system. On the same side-board
on which the deleterious beverage
is served lies a newspaper. 1t IS
covered with half million of
types-it brings intelligence from
the four quarters of the globe.
The newspaper costs less than the
glass of grog-the juice of a few
grains of corn-but it is no less
Strange than true that there is a
large number of people who think
corn Juice is cheap and newspa-
pers dear.

AGrand Old Race.

-. l.. Idy iOI tIuo uCoCl1UCo
race between two railroad trains
The incident is not much of a wor
der, but the description is:
"The track Of the Michiga
Southern and the Pittsburg, For
Wayne and Chicago roads lie, 70
few miles, within hailing distance
They are smooth, straight and temp
ting. The other night [ was OF
board the Michigan Southern
Eastward bound, and looking on
of a window into the darkness
Isaw a light projected upon the blank
prairie, and kindling up the Pitts
burg rails as if its cars ran upon q
silver track. 1t was the fash of
an eye that | saw, and, as our
speed was slightly checked at a
crossing, the train bound for the
Iron city pulled up, and for mo-
ment we stood neck and neck.
Like the hammers of Vulcan's
one-eyed strikers, the train clatter-
ed over the crossing and away we
went. The anaseptic 'clank-to-
clink' Of the wheels shortened up
the motion of the train grew
|steady-there was an angry hum,
a little like a spindle-the train
thrilled like nerve, and it was
all as easy and graceful as flying.
Up burst the sparks from the
Pittsburg engine, like chaff from
a threshing floor; the polished
shafts flashed in the light, and
'buckled to like q rower's naked
arms when he comes down upon
the home stretch; the furnace door
flew open with q great glare; ev-
cry twinkling window was full of
faces. The long train looked as
if one street had eloped from Chi
cago, under cover of the night,
and gone gipseying with another.
Sampson was outdone. He bore
away Gaza's gates; but 10! here
was Gaza's self!
"You heard the clank of iron
you saw the trial of fret was
as if the train were being fashion
ed out of midnight upon an anvil.
So for a while, side by side. At
last our Pittsburg neighbor began
to draw into slide back into the
darkness, to shut together like
By and by we caught
a glance of its eye again-it had
neither lid nor lashes, and its ex-
preston was not loving; we had it
iairly astern; and just then it
wheeled away OH a great curve; /
our parting was well made; we

every drowsy passenger that had
been frightened into quick sympa-

If it as wheels and axles, drew in,

inguishable garments.
