Modern LOYALTY.

Until the accession of the black dy-
nasty in 1861, the nse of the word todtty,
as applicable to political relations Or
duties in this country, was wholly I'M
known. We often read in the newspa-
pers royal and imperiel speeches and
proclamations from foreign monarchs, 10
their loyal subjects; but since the day
when George III ceased to address to
our ancestors such paternal language, it
had been expunged from our republican
vocabulary, as wholly absolete in its po-
litical application The dictionaries de-
fine its meaning to be fidelity to a
prince or sovereign" and, as no such
dignatariy since 1875 could claim our
allegiance, there seemed to be no pro-
priety in adhearing to this dead formal
ity of royal grace and power. We fond.
~ supposed under the new order OF
things established by our fathers, the
people were sovereign and that the Gov
ernmept they instituted, and the rulers
they elected, were but the instruments
and servants Of their will--not their
masters. 1t seems, however, in the ad-
van ing light Of the new era which
dawned on us FIVE years ago, that we
we're mistaken; and that among the
many valuable reforms accomplished by
the wise and exemplary prtriots who
have reigned during that period, is the
re-inauguration of the idea so obstinately
maintained by King George, and by roy
atty generally, that the ruler is the SOW
ereign; and that the people who elect
him are his subjects, and owe him fealty,
and must yield submissive and inquest
ioning obedience to his will.

Defeated Rebels supporting Mr.. Johnson

The Boston Transcript, the home or
gan of Charles Sumner, contains, in its
issue of the 10th inst, the following ven
omous paragraph, evidently inspired by
a reptile more treacherous than the cop
perhead;
I'VE have only to look at the character
of the men who rally 10 Mr.. johnson
support, 10 know in what direction he
will be forced to go. The men are gen
erally defeated rebels and their aiders
and abettors in the North; and 1t is un-
reasonable to suppose that the President
can rely on their assistance without
catching the contagion of their primer
pies, and obeying the pressure OF their
passions and aims. The hand may be
Andrew Johnson's, but the mind that
directs the hand will be that of Alexan-
der Stephens"
The above is high compliment to
William II. Seward, Hugh McCulloch'
Edwin NJ Stanton, Gideon Welles, james
Harlan, William Dennison and James
Speed. who constitute the Cabinet formed
by Abraham Lincoln; it is a high com,
pliment to Ulysses S. Grant and David
G. Farragut, our great military ana naval
chieftains; to Sherman and Sheridan,
and the whole host of military and naval
heroes who fought TO preserve the Union
and who now support Andrew johnson in
his restoration policy. Are the men

learn from several reliable sources, that
he crops in this immediate section are
much more promising than the most san
guine could have hoped but few short
weeks ago Singular as it may appear
we are told that cotton which had been
submerged BY the overflow to the depth,
in some places, of one or two feet, has
preserved its vitality, and instead of be-
ing injured, has actually been benefited
by having the grass drowned out by the
water. The corn crop, we learn, is also
looking well, and the negroes, as gene
raj thing, are working faithfully aud con
tentedly. This is good news to us.

MISSISSIPPI STORMS.

We have repeatedly alluded to the
storms that have passed over Mississippi.
Here is an account Of smother from the
Mssfssippian: The mail carrier from
R,leigh, Mr.. BARRETr, informs the Re
publican that the storm which passed
over Brandon on Monday of last week
was very destructive all along the route.
His house was blown down, his fences
scattered, and his land covered with up
rooted trees. Mr.. ALBERT LITTLE, living
on Leaf river, was struck by lightning
and instantly killed. A negro man was
killed near Sylvarena Acad my by the
falling Of tree, and great many horses
and cattle were killed in every direction
by the falling timber. The destruction to
crops was terrible.

the cession Of Venetia, and has made

The London Times, in view of this ac-

count of the capture of red fox, We
quote from the Pulaski Citizen Some
Of our country friends had an exciting

He had been committing depredations

Including MILr MARKS, JAS +. SMITH,

Others, by preconcerted arrangement,
collected there on the day mentioned
with view to check his career. Accord
inely three excellent packs of dogs were
nut in after him, and soon the hills echoed
with the music of the many voiced trio
and the valleys reverberated with the ex-
cited and exciting shouts of the sports
men, as the red swamp devil leaped from
his rock.ribbed covert, and took 70 the
fields and meadows. The chase was
most exciting one, the iox ha'i"e W"

fore he changed his course. Old fox
hunters will readily imagine the grand

WAsHIYros, June l2.--In the debate
in the House yesterday on the Recon
struction Committees report, Rousseau,
in replying to the attack Of lngersoll on
the President and those who supported
him, said he hurled back the epithets in
the teeth Of him who uttered them, and
who had done nothing during the war
but stay at home and look after Offices
Generals Grant, Sherman and Thorn
as supported the Presidents policy.
Were they lickspittles Rousseau pro-
ceeded TO argue that a just and temper
ate policy might have given to the Redi-
calls long lease Of power, aud even
now, so well are the Radical leaders con-
WINGED that their course would not be
approved by the people, they would
not dare to adjourn without ad'
hitting the Representatives from Ten
nessee, and they would have &c

the most gloomy reports of the crops
There have been so many severe rains
that great many farms have been almost
entirely submerged. But little work
could be done; grass has grown almost
without interruption, thereby choking
out the growth of corn and cotton, and
rendering the prospect for beautiful
harvest" gloomy in the extreme.
