BrOWnIOW.

This man, as black of heart and as foul
of tongue as any creature that ever
prowled in former days through the stcws
of Alsatia, seems desperately bent upon
provoking strife and bloodshed. He has
already brought about state of things
in East Tennessee which exists no
where else, He has sedulously famed
into flames hatredS and animosities which
would long since have smouldercd into
ashes. He has actively bounded on the
spirit of persecution and murder, and is
now Indignantly goading unresiStlng
men to the last point Of desperation. If
he only interIardcd bis prayers to Heaven
with curses and talSehoodS against his
fellow-men, he might be safely left to the
same contempt to which many Of his
co-laborerS in the Convention Rave al
ready been consigned. But he still
wields the lower which he so fraudu-
lently and dcSpotically seized, and that
power lie is actively exercising for the
qualification of his diabo?ical paSSl ms.
We have before Us pitcous letter from
lady of East Tennessee, applying tor
aid for the children of Confederate
soldier, who, in an almost dying condl
ton. was driven from his home IN that
part Of the State.
After referring briefly to tn" reign OF
terror which has been maintained there
by Brownlow, she adds: Even now are
scattered over these hills five hundred
circulars issued at Jone>boro' by the
Governor Of the State, a few days ago,
advising the Radicals to burn every
fence rail, and reduce to hes every
Rebel home, and cXtcrnrnate every
Rebel in the South" How long are
men to be expected to permit this mad
man to pursue his dcSN uctlTc career?
How long are the American people to
tolerate the continuance II power OF
this shameless rUffian? There is no po-
litical question involved in this matter.
A tyrant is prosecuting and outrasing
q deienselesS people. How shall they
obtain peace for their families, protec-
tion for their property, and security for
their limbs and lives: These are the
simple questions which the people OF
Tennessee arc called on to answer, and
it is clear they cannot remain long un,
settled. From the most degraded race
on earth, Brownlow'S antics would soon
force an answer 1t cannot be, then,
that the once free people Of Tennessee
will much longer be siicnt.-i'aItimore

B1GAMr.-We are informed, by aletter
from reliable gentleman in Robson
County, of the particulars of recent
v1llainous outrage. 1t appears that Mr..
Harvey, of Richmond, Va, a railroad
contractor, worked on the Piedmont
Road some months ago-having in his
employment one John 7. Price, of Buck
ngham County, Va, as blacksmith.
Price became acquainted with Miss Fan
nv Whittemore, respectable young lady
of Rockingham County, and married her
last March, while thus engaged on the
railroad. Soon after Mr.. Harvey moved
his business and hands to the Whining
ton, Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad,
in Richmond County, where Price and
his newly married wife lived until a few
DAYS ago, when it transpired that Price
has a wife living in Buckingham County,
Va. or elsewhere. Upon this being pub
licly known, Price absconced and his
whereabouts is unknown. The young
lady thus deceived and injured is intelli-
gent, amiable, and possessed ofexcelent
Character. 1t is greatly to be hoped that
the villain may be arrested and brought
to punishment.
Let our young women Of all classes Of
society take warming Many similar oc-
currences, within the past two years es-
pecially, admonish them Of the danger Of
forming matrimonial alliances with stran-
gers of whom they know and inquire
nothing.-Raleigh Sentinel.

The SOLDIERS CoNyENTIoN.-CleVe-
land, Sept. 19.-The Convention adjourn
ed last night. Gen. Gordon Granger was
appointed president. Resolutions were
adopted by acclamation sustaining the
Philadelphia Convention of August 18th,
and declaring also the object of the SOL
diers in taking up arms to suppress the
late rebellion was to defend and maintain
the supremacy of the Constitution, and
to preserve the Union with all its dignity
and equality, and the right ofthe several
States unimpaired and not in any spirit
of oppression or for any purpose of con-
quest and subjugation, and that when
ever there shall be any armed resistance
to the lawfully constituted authorities of
our National Union either in the South
or in the North, or in the East or in the
West. they will take up arms to maintain
the Union.
A dispatch from Memphis signed by
Gen. Forrest and other ex-Confederate
officers was read, expressing their SYM
pathv with the purposes of the ConVen-
ton, and declaring that the Confederate
soldiers are entirely willing to leave the
determination of their rights as citizens
of States and of the United States to the
soldiers of the Union, and on our part
we pledge our life, security OF llte, person,
PROPERTY, etc., freedom OF speech ana
opinion. To all suitable answer Was

TIE OLD Man oFTuE MOUNTAIN, or the
great stone face, the profile in the Fran
coma Mountain, which stands out from a
rocky prccipice towering thousand feet
above the beautiful lake near the Profile
House, is noticed in the journal Of
Commerce, which says:
"The forehead, nose, mouth, chin, and
even Adams apple On the neck, all are
perfect. Many man can be seen whose
face resembles ii. The strange fact about
this profile, however, mot generally known,
is that the effect is produced, not by the
edge of one rock, but simply by the
social accidental grouping of various
rocks, some more distant than others. In
fact the front Of the top Of the pr2cipicc
is a group of rocks about eighty feet
high by hundred in breadth. The
nose is forty feet west Of the forehead.
The mouth, which seems an opening of
two thin lips, is a Sidclong cbaSm or
break of fifty feet in extent. Viewed
from the front, the face vani>heS, while
the cocks seem inaccessible as they hang
in the air over the precipitouS decent
below.
William B. SWEET, a deaf mute, and
noted for bis wanderingS, educated at the
Hartford Asylum, carpenter by trade,
during the past summer, has produced q
very remarkable work, being neither
more nor less than fac simile in plaster
of the great stone face. His measure
ments were accurately made, not without
great risk and daring exposure. The
work is framed, about IS inches square.
The trout view shows the ragged, rocky
face of the precipice, while a side view
gives the profile. \ curious fact, dis
covered by this work Of Mr.. SWEET is that
the view from the west, never seen by
human eyes, because inaccessible, gives
almost as good a profile as the welI-knoWn
view from the east. The permanent
guests at ;he Profile House, during the
last summer, raised 4 sum of fmonry as a
testimonial Of their appreciation, and ad-
vised him to 90 to some city where he
could have it reproduced in plaster copies
for sale. \ subscription book was
opened, and during the season a large
number of subscriptions for copies, at a
price not to exceed $50 each, were obtain
ed, His address IS Ucnniker, \. II.

A NORTHERN CoRREsPoNDENT's IS ACCOUNT
OF GENERAL LEE.-Tiie correspondent of
the New York Times, writing from Lynch
burg, Va, says:
The living Lee is, however, a misnom-
er. for his is rather q life in death-in i
less degree holds the affections Of this peo-
pIc in the hollow of his hands, for SINH
lar reason. No man more courteous
than he, none more high-bred, nonemore
generous, none more kindly in his inter
course with his neighbors. And Lee
lives a peaceful, cheerful, unobtrusiVe
life among these mountains. So far as
he himself is concerned, he would pre-
fer that his name should be dropped from
present talk and current news. History
must mention him, he knows, but that
time has not yet come. Lee holds him
self utterly aloof from the disputes and
passions Of the hour; and here is proof:
On Saturday night, he was at Rock
bridge baths. Stalwart and erect as ever,
white haired and rubby-hued, his eye
still bright and kindly as of old, he sat
among the ladies of the neighborhood,
chatting as any other man might do ;
but with him, with his past and present
hanging about him, it seemed like the
dead past holding converse with the
Muses.. Presently, there was the confu-
sion of the nightly arrival from Rich

Manufacturing.

To show unmistakably the Importance
Of GevOting more attention to cotton
manufacturing at the South, it is only
necessary to refer to the immense profit
resulting from the investment in cotton
factories in Lowell. The aggregate capi-
tai invested by her ten large companies is
stated at $13,O0O,OO0. The amount of
cotton consumed is one hundred thousand
bales; the number of yards produced, ex.
elusive ofyarns, something overa hundred
millions; and the number Of operatives is
twelve thousand. The operatives are
mostly women and girls. 1t would re-
quire atleast thirty thousandfeld laborers
to raise this cotton, and yet it is CONVEX
ted into yarns and cloths by Twelve thou
sand operatives. The process for manu-
featuring the cotton, about doubles its
value, and the average dividends declared
by these companies is thirty-three per
cent. When we consider the saving in
freight, and the advantages which the
local buyer has over the agent for distant
companies, it is manifest that with the
same efficient management here which
characterizes the Lowell companies,
profit of nearly fifty per cent. could be
realized on the investment. This leaves
out of view the general advantages re-
sulting from such enterprises-increasing
our population-crecting local markets,
and diversifying industrial pursuits. 1t is
strange that the manufacturers of Europe
are not induced to transfer some of their
capital to the South. They would thus
outhank the tariff imposed f>r the bene-
fit Of Eastern manufacturers, and save
the immense amount expended on frelghts
and charges.

Eloquent Extract.

The following are the closing remarks
of the Hon. S. S. Cox, of Ohio, in the
speech recently delivered by him in the
citv of New York, and in which he re-
viewed the intolerant action of the Con-
eress that recently adjourned;
"The historian of Rome draws some
thing from his imagination when he pic
lures the proud Queen of Palmyra, Zen
obia, arra7ed in purple, yet loaded with
golden chains; to aggrandize the pro-
cession in honor ofthe conQueror Of Asia.
1t needs no imagination to picture the
fate Of eleven States, not Of foreign origin,
but of one blood, language history and
religion, following with downcaSt eye the
triurnDhal chariot of Congressional power.
States whose area is over 725, 900 square
miles larger than England, France, Spain,
PORTUGAL. and all Germany: having a
populaticl oflO, 900; whose annual
product from little pod is greater than
the wealth which the Roman bore in his
stately gaIlevs to Rome from the golden
and iewcled Orient! Virginia, too proud,
perhaps, but with such glandeur Of
great names on her rolls; the Carolinians,
weary of their waywardness, but still
the homes Of the Pinckneys, who gave
the Constitution to America and those
who, at Mccklenburg, anticipated the
Declaration which, at Kings Mountain,
consummated our independence Geor
gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, whose
feet are kissed BY the waters of thou
sand rivers, which rolling through the
valley of the Mississippi, gather their
volumes of wealth from Minnesota to
Louisiana-these are the subject States
led in fetters at the car of the Imperial
Congress. Such exhibitions dishonored
the greatness ofeven Pagan Rome. They
would not be tolerated by ambitious
France, which takes Venetia as gift
from the Kaiser only to set it as a jewel
in the crown of United Italy. Itmight
find its counterpart in the great land ami
NAL of the North-NusSia-in whose en-
brace PROSTATE Poland groans. Forget
ting her own grasp of Ireland, England
assumes to be mortified at the spectacle.
Even in Turkey, the policy Of strangIlng
brothers by the Sultan no longer makes
the traveller shuddcr as he crosses the
Bosphorus. But for this Christian land
of America the people do not ask such
mockery of triumph and such a degrada-
ton of power. They will write the cpl
taph of the Congress which proposes in
letters of fire Here lies the fragments
of the thirty-nirth American Congress,
which, starting with a furtive conspiracy
against the President, with opportunities
never before vouchSafed for blessing,
postponed Union and putting the ma
ton in peril ofanother civil war, it died
under the just indignation of an aroused
people, and is damned to an Immortality

WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER g. 1885,
Mexico.

During the Presidents pilgrimage, he
has been faithfully attended by the minis
ter Of the somewhat shadoWy and lntan-
gible republic Of Mexico.
In recognition of his devotion, the
President dropped for his consolation a
few words cf comfort in one ofhis recent
speeches. GLOW about Mexico?" asked
one Of the soyereigns, in the midst of a
speech of the President. "Wait until
we get all the States back into the Union,
and we will take care Of Mexico" was
the Presidents reply. And Grant, silent
as the grave upon all other subjects,
never hesitates to express his opinions
in favor of our interference in the affairs
of Mexico But what shape shall this
interference take? When Maximilian
leaves Mexico and rcjoins his Empress
at Miramar, shall we leave Mexico to the
prey of fierce and greedy factions?
What shall we gain by the mastery d.
plomacy which has at last resulted in the
triumph of the Monroe doctrine" if we
look on while rival chiefs cut each others
throats and render the lives and property
of all foreigners insecure! Unless we
propose to use the shadoWy republic OF
Mexico as a sort Of John Doe or Richard
Roe, wherewith to acquire good poss-
essory title, what use have we for the
Mexican Minister?
When the Austrian decamps, we must
lose no time in the acquisition of Mexico.
The terrible passions which are hurrying
this nation to perdition must find vent
somehow and somewhere. ProVld nee
seems TO have wisely provided Mexico as
the "sicll man." whose case demands our
immediate attention. As a Christian
and highly civilized nation, we cannot
permit Mexico to remain at the mercy Of
brigand presidents and guerilla chiefs
Our speedy intervention is indlspensabIy
necessary to prevent Mexico from falling
into far worse hands than those of the
amiable Austrian prince whose speedy
exit is predicted with so much certainty
We see no hope Of peace and union tol
the South until the attention of the Nortt
| is withdrawn from Cuffee and directed
to the management and improvement o
the Observation-Disclosures times.

\ GAMBLERS TELEGRAPH.-The Den
yer California News gives an account OF
q signal machine which was found in an
cid house just pulled down, and formerly
used by the sporting fraternity for gamb-
ling purposes:
1T consists of long lever made fast at
one end by swinging joint to one Of the
ioists upon which the floor rests; about
eighteen inches from this joint there is a
piece of board nailed to the top of the
lever and reaching within two inches Of
the boards of the floor. Into the end OF
this board a nails driven, through hole
in the floor, large enough to admit of its
playing up and down freely; when down
the head of this nail is level with the upper
surface of the floor. At the other end OF
the lever string passes up through the
floor and between the walls of apartition,
subjected in some way to the control of
the hand or foot ofthe gamblers contede-
rate.
"Thc mode of Operating was simply for
the gambler to siton one side of the table,
with his foot on the head Of the nail pre-
viously described, the pigeon to be pluck
ed sitting on the opposite side, and the
gamblers assistant behind or on one side
of him, 50 as to see the cards in his hand
Then by Jerk of the string he could cause
the nail previously described, to lift the
foot resting upon it, and by series Of this
kind of taps, could accurately inform the
honest sportsman just what he had to
play against. 1t is a beautiful arrange
ment for the purposes desired. This
lever is padded where it would strike the
ioist below, so that in signalling, not the
SLIGHTEST conclusion or sound may be
produced. :"

THE SuEz CANAL.-All along the mari.
time canal the greatest activity prevails.
Nor are the accessory fresh water canals,
meanwhile, neglected. At the end Of
December $4,000 Egyptian workmen
were busy excavating the line of fresh
water canal between Bulbeis and AbasSle.
In clearing away the heaps of earth
beneath which the Rocks Of Chalout, IN
the desert, have been buried for ages,
there has been discovered quantity Of
marine shells. Remains of fish, and
more particularly of the shark tribe,
have also been brought to light.
It is generally known that passage
between them has been effected, and
that it is the intention Of the Canal
COMPANY to throw it open to the COM
merce of all nations. Of course, for the
present, until depth Of twenty-Six feet
and width proportionate to that depth
are obtained, only the smaller class OF
Vessels will be able to take advantage OF
the opening and the Mediterranean ports
NAV find their commercial geographical
positions suddenly changed and brought

the most remote from them, that IS to
