+, On Extraordinary Occurrence.

The correspondent of the Hartford
Times tells story of volunteer in one
of the Connecticut regiments, who In
the advance of the grand army of the
Potomac, in 1868, was taken sick, died,
and was buried, the correspondent per-
forming the last sad rites over the re-
mains of his dead comrade. A volley
was fred over the grave and the soldier
was left to his long sleep. The time
passed; the war ended; the correspon-
dent was honorably discharged, and he
had forgotten in the rush of events, his
comrade sleeping by the banks of the
Rapidan, when the other day, in Hart
ford, who should appear before him but
thA same dead and buried soldier. It
- rot strange that he felt curious,sen-
ssation come over him; that he looked at
/ tie Genre before him without speaking;
thatss stepped aside when the other
advanced to him with outstretched
hand. The denouement is thus given:
1stOld chum, don't you know me?"
Said j, ''Yes, do! But what in the
name of God are you doing here? I
helped to bury you once in Virginia.
81 know that some one buried me,
and 1 always thought that you was one
of them, as you were always so kind to
mel But you see, now" said he offer
ing his hand to me, ''that am flesh
and blood"
Ishook hands with him, and he told
me that he was in trance when we
buried him, and that he was digging
his way out, and had got his head out,
when the rebels came along and assist
ed him. They then sent him to Libby
Prison, where they kept him in durance
for year. They then sent him to
Georgia, where he remained till the
war was ended, when he was released.

A Poultry Plague.

Our readers may have seen notices OF
new disease among poultry lately pre-
vailing in Fance.. After having appa-
rentIy disappeared, st seems that it has
now again broken out with great vio-
lence IN the department of tie Eure and
the adjoining districts One farmer in
the commune of Jamericourt has lost
$50 hens '-%+5' fs@ S3st's . -
No explanation can be given of this
new malady. While writing, until q
remedy can be discovered for it, precau-
tionsry measures are adopted. The first
precad lion Is great cleanliness, and the
frequent washing of the hen honses with
lime watery to destroy the inseets which
torment tine fowl 1t very beneficial
to fumigate the hen roosts from time to
time by burning near them handful of
brushwood. The Journal de Ia Ferme,
noticing the disease, observes that in a
well-kept poultry yard fowls are not
only less subject to disease, but they
become fatter, better favored when
brought to the table, and less torment
ed with insects.
The London Journal of Horticulture
suggests that it may be in some instan-
ces the number Kept that has produced
the disease. 1t is very difficult to keep
large number on limited space. -

delegates. LII former artlcle, py
the same writer, suppose, he says
they passed d vote of thanks to the
federal soldiers, sc. No one giving
record of the doings of the Conven-
ton seems to have discovered such a
resolution of thanks. One paragraph
in the declaration of principles says
that it IS the duty of the General
Government to recognize the services
of the federnl soldiers and sailors i'll
the contest just closed, by meeting
promptly and fully their just claims
for the services they have rendered
the nation, Sc. That was simply a
declaration of the principle that a
Government should honestly pay the
soldiers that it calls into the field.
And though the Southern delegates
might not have wished that para
graph inserted, they could not vote
against, and thus repudiate, so plain
a principle of common honesty. They
might have been somewhat in the
predicament that the members OF the
Mississippi Legislature belonging to
the old Wing party were once in:
The Democratic majority penned
down some repudiating resolutions
to be passed by the Legislature, and
to compel the Wings to vote for them,
they Incorporated with them the Vir-
ginia and Kentucky resolutions of
1889. But with all this, | see no
grounds for the accusations made by
the writer in the Mail against the
delegates from the South in the Con-
vention. They were not required to
take any iron-clad" oath, nor to
make any declarations against them
selves, but simply to accede to the
old Constitution and its principles,
eXccpJ that part relating to slavery.
But they have radicals North and we
have radicals South, and they work
a good deal into each others hands.
The Southern radicals are set of
impracticables. Last year they OPP
posed the movement to reorganize
and set our civil government i'll mo-
ton, but would have left it to Con-
gress to send down a military COM
mission to organize such an one as
Parson Brownlow's Tennessee gov
ernment, or i Is twin sister of Missou-
ri. And the radicals of the South
would now meet the radicals North
on the opposite side of the circle, and
keep the Southern Representatives
out of Congress-

Mail taken from the New York News,

For The American Citizen.l

Mr.. Editor In the Canton MAIL
of 25th nit. there appeared an article
headed, "What They Did," in refer
ence to the late Philadelphia Con
ventiOn. The writer sets out with a
grave error, and | think he main
tains. or retains, that error pretty
well throughout. He says they met
to settle the misunderstanding and
differences of past years, &c, where
as, all the world knows, | believe,
that the avowed object Of that Con-
ventiOn was to try to assist in adj
iusting a present difficulty and diff
ference existing between President
johnson and his friends and support
erS, on the one side, and the Radicals,
North and South, on the other. As
TO the past differences between the
North and South that brought about
the late war, they had been rubbed
out by the attritiOn of the conflict,
and the South had said, Amen, so
let it be. But this writer in the Mail
says the Philadelphia Convention
met to do that work. He also re-
minds his readers of the high and
defiant spirit in and throughout the
South at the commencement of the
war, and of the subdued spirit of sub
mission which he, the writer, puts
into the mouths of SouthernerS after
the surrender. Now, that rigmarOle
of elimination and confession might
have been sung to a certain class OF
men just after the surrender by some
OF us, if we had possessed the ill ma
ture to have done so; but | see NJ
relevancy in its rehearsal now, anC
especially in connection with thu
Philadelphia Convention, the ebjec
of which was altogether of differen
character, and which dealt in non
of those offensive inuendoes or az
sumptions. In reading the full az
count of its proceedings, / can sc
no one resolution OF paragraph {

servility on the part Of the Souther

Hon. A. Il. Handy.

We take the following notices of
our townsman from the Mississippi
Flag (Kemper):
That able and distinguished jurist,
A. III. Handy, we are pleased to see,
is again q candidate for Judge of the
High Court of Errors and Appeals.
He has had great experience and is
now Chief Justice. Legal gentlemen
are well aware of his fine abilities,
and the people should remember him
at the election. Abiding to him, the
Meridian Messenger says:
Judge Handy has always had a
good support in Lauderdale county
for the position he aspires to again,
and, with no cause to withhold the
confidence heretofore reposed in him,
we have no doubt that he will receive
from the voters of the county the
same favorable consideration at the
polls as heretofore. To the members
of the bar, we believe, Judge Handy
Is equally acceptable. We take plea
sure in directing the attention of the
public to his claims for the position.
The Hon. Thomas J. Durant, late OF
New Orleans. in bis recent speech in Phil
adelphia, makes remarkable confession.
says the National Intelligencer. He
declares that the Union men "could only
sustain themselves by the arms Of the In.
ion. and they could not. after the with
drawal Of their protection. sustain them
selves for a single month, in any Of the
insurrectionary states;" and again. they
are not now sufficient to form such q gov.
eminent as will stand unsupported by the
armies ofthe United States" Such aver
ments. il true. present the naked question
to the American people, Shall we govern
one half Of this country by military pow
err! Shall we imperil the liberties of the
country by familiarizing the North to the
entire disregard Of constitutional forms by
enforcing military rule. and shall we at.
temp. to degrade the Southern people by
a military despotism? Would it not be
wiser and more patriotic even. in this
view OF the case, to endeavor to strike out
some course that. avoiding threats and
appeals to force, would convert the masses
of the South into Union men? The pres
encs of the military would then not be
needed.
But the statement is not true. Union
men Of the Radical type are scarce in the
South. 1t would, we think, be fortunate
for the country if they were scarce every
where. But the South is filed with men
who reluctantly plunged into secession.
and who now would gladly restore their
relations to the Union, and with men who.
having manfully fought to &c, out Of the
Union and failed. accept the arbisrament
OF war, and would conduct themselves as
good citizens of the United States by en-
lire obedience 10 the Constitution and the
laws. The surest way TO fasten these
men in mistaken loyalty to the Govern,
ment is by ungrudging confidence in their
honor and the most promp. restoration to
them Of all their constitutional rights. The
surest way to perpetuate disafection is to
trample on the Constitution by exercising
authority never contemplated BY its found
ers. and keeping alive the abuses Of war
when peace has been proclaimed through
out all our borders.
