to our aspiring Democratic politicians but
the saddest part is that Stearns County is

From the London Times, August 14.J

German wars have always had one
great and lamentable peculiarly. They
outIive the object for which they were
begun, and conceive within themselves
other wars, taking continually a fresh de-
parture just when the old matter of dis
pute seems to be settled or exhausted.
The vast extent of the country, its innu-
merable subdivisions, the strange variety
OF races and tongues annexed to it, and
its geographical situation, bordering ON
all the principal States of Europe, may
in some degree account for this strange
and sinister destiny. SO now, Just as it
would seem that the fortune of arms had
decided and negotiation had ratified the
decision of the existing causes of dispute,
Germany is menaced with q new danger,
and a fresh champion descends into the
arena, to demand concessions in the verv
moment of victory, and to mortify the
pride OF a brave and susceptible people
just as the long sought for Unity seems
within her grasp. Whatever share the
Emperor of the French may have had in
promoting, or in seeking to prevent, the
war, no one can doubt that its result has
been unforeseen and is peculiarly unwel-
come and distasteful to him. He hoped
to play the easy and glorious part of
mediator between two great Monarclies
worn out with a long and equal struggle,
and he finds himself, instead of this, con-
fronted by a State flushed with conquest,
and issuing from the war far stronger
than it entered on it. The unfortunate
result of a foreign policy which looked
FIR fhn q Orrap 1iUoooopk &C Ironoo e..
the dlscords of her neighbours, and
sought, according to the maxims of M.
Theirs, to make and keep them weak in
order that she might be strong, has been
to erect on the frontiers of France two
great States on the East and South-East
each formed out of the aggregation of
smaller States, each animated by a strong
feeling of national unity, and each AMI
mated with no very kindly feeling to q
powerful and encroaching neighbour.
No one can wonder that the Emperor
Napoleon views this state of things with
much discomfort, and seeks an escape
from a position which, though not really
lnimIcal to his interests, is Notifying to
his pride.
No one, then, has been surprised 10
ram .Hot tHS emperor OF Cne french,
after the great events which have lust
occurred in Germany, has called upon
Prussia, just as he called upon Italy, for a
rectlticatlon of his territorial frontiers to
compensate France for the suddenly in.
creased power of her Eastern neighbour:
and no one will be surprised to learn
that the proposal has been rejected,
with the, intimation that Prussia cannot
yield German territory to- France. IF
the Emperor Napoleon meant to provoke
war, the measure was well adapted for
that purpose if he meant To- obtain his
object by amicabIe conc ssion, the 1op-

OUR EXAMPLE,

Example has deep and lasting influence
upon the lives of all. Il is a living lesson
always before us, which is constantly inhuen-
cling us for good or evil Every action is a
word, for actions speak as well as words,
and often have a stronger import. Every
thought word act and even look of ours, is
helping to build up the characters of those
around us into monuments of everlasting
beauty or deformity. And thus upon our
action in this world there rests no slight
responsibility.
As we look back over the pages of history
we see how men have in all ages of the
world been remembered by their examples.
Some have left record bright with noble
deeds and actions, which awaken our admi-
ration and cause within us a desire to be
nobler and truer-while others have left US
a record black with evil deeds, which ava
ken our pity for them, not only for the evil
example which they have left to posteirty
but also when we think what they might
have been had they been upright and hon
est. And as their example has lived after
them so will ours, though perhaps in more
limited manner. Although our example
may not be handed down to posterity from
the historic page, yet it may exercise great
influence upon those around us. For if we
avoid evil habits and endeavor to do right
in all things, many others will be induced
to act accordingly Those who are younger
in years are looking up to us for an example;
and whether that example be good or evil,
it is for us to determine IF we were to
think oftener of the example which we are
placing before our fellow men it would not
only save them much trouble, but also our
selves.

THE IMPUDENCE OF RETURNED
REBELS,

Governor Brownlow, in vigorous and
powerful speech at Knoxville few days ago
said
The leading traitors Of the South have
already been pardoned and turned loose up
on the country, to get up Rebel meetings
and make Rebel speeches, and to exert a
bad influence As a general thing, these
pardoned Rebels have displayed no
gratitude or generosity. They are arrogant
insulting and intolerant Had they becom-
ing modesty and commendable diffidence,
they would take back seats In the great ed
ifice of reconstruction, and not rush with
hot haste to control the State and nation.
But they thrust themselves into places they
have no constitutional right to FIJI, and
grasp with greedy hand at every light and
high Office made vacant in the country.
Now this is severe language, but the Lou
isville Journal, a conservative organ, an ar
dent supporter of the Presidents restora-
ton POLICY, fully sustains every word of it.
We extract from a leading editorial in that
paper Of the I'd instant:
But it cannot be denied that there is
danger Of the exercise of a malign influence
upon these masses; however good their in
tentions may have been or may still be, by
their leaders, the busy and pestilent and
unscrupuloue spirits that are determined to
control them for evil and only evil. These
Rebel leaders, the getters-up of the Con-
yention, are not satisfied that they and their
rank and file should be upon mere equali-
ty with citizens who remained loyal and op-
posed the rebellion Their ideas soar far
higher than that They arrogate for them
selves and all engaged in the rebellion great
aud peculiar honor, They talk, through
their organs, about the need of glory that
is awarded to the Rebels by the present gen
Grafton, and win be awarded to them by
posterity. They tell us about the unright-
eousness and guilt of the war on the FEEDER
al side. They speak of the operations Of
the Federal armies with illdisguised or
undisguised rage and ferocity. They have
all words Of praise for the Rebel officers and
soldiers. They still appear to think, some
of them at least, that the Rebels can whip
and did whip five to one. They undoubt-
edly think that the time IS at hand when a
badge worn upon the shoulder OF bosom,
importing that the wearer fought in the re-
belIion, viii be as enyiable a distinction as
the cross of the old French Legion of Hon
or. They are not repentant but exultant,
defiant, proud, naughty, dommeering, inso-
lent, and presumptous They think TO car
~ their heads as high as the clouds Nay,
like Sejanus, they expect at each advanced
step to knock out star in heaven
They have got great lesson to learn, but
a mighty schoolmaster is aboard.

that section presents very unfavorable APP
pearance. In the fall it was seriously iniur-
cd by the fly, during the winter much of it
was frozen out, and what is left is suffering
very much now fromdrought. Several far
mers intend ploughing up their wheat fields
and unless the drought soon terminates the
crop viii be almost total failure.
THE FRUIT CROP. The Meadville Jour
nal says We are informed by a gentle
man residing in Southwestern Crawford,
and proprietor of one of the finest orchards
in the county, that the prospects for large
irult crop the coming season are unusually
promising. As far as can be judged, the
peach blossoms, as yet, are entirely uninjur-
ed, and all indications are very fattering
Similar statements reach us from all por-
tions of the county.
WHEAT CRoP.-The Greensburg Herald
says Some of our exchanges seem to
speak very favorably of the prospects of a
good yield Of wheat this season the far
mers say that the prospects never were bet
ter We would be very glad if we could
say as much for our county-W Westmoreland
in some parts of the county there are
fields that are, in our opinion, worthless
while in no instance have we seen a first
class field of wheat
A Correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
Hlercial, writing from Lancaster, Ohio, says:
In the county of Hooking there will be
perhaps third of crop of wheat; and as
to the fruit, there viii be an abundant crop
of all kinds, unless killed by frost from this
time on.
The county of Athens will give but poor
yield Of wheat, but large crop of fruit
that is, from present appearances.

One would think that even the most rabid
politician might be Modified toward the in
terests which benefit him as well as others.
The factories Of New England, under the
tariff Of l842, reduced the price Of cotton
cloths from Is to 10 eeats per square yard.
Their competition hereafter viii continually

competing factories shall rise up all over
