Keep it Before the People.

That the only way to prevent the reorgan-
ization of our State government, the confis-
cation of property, executions for treason,
and negro suffrage is to accept promptly the
proposed constitutional amendment, and 60
back to the Union.
Those persons among US who will neither
carry out the Presidents plan nor accept the
plan of Congress, are practical disuaionists.
They may not intend to be so, but they are

NapoIeon's Health!

Is NAPOLEON dying? So asks all Eu
rope. 1t is known that he is i'll. Some
accounts say that he is very i'll. He
went to Vichy for relief from the min
eral waters but they did not help him.
He fastened back to Paris, and travelled
on ambulance cushions. He has been
surrounded by councils of physicians Of
tener than by councils of ministers.
He tried to reassure his people by riding
out, and could not endure the effort.
He made plan for trip to Biarritz,
which he is obliged to abandon.
ALI this is ominous. 1t is important
to his dynasty that NAPOLEON shall re-
main in bodily and mental strength.
He is in a large sense the Empire. His
indomitable will and desperate daring
created it his diplomatic ability has
maintained it; his personal power is its
present guaranty against revolution.
Were he to die, at the present time, the
Government must devolve upon Re
gency. A Regency with the Empress
at it's head, would be naturally anti-Na-
poleonic; certainly retrogressive. 1t
could not fail to experience manifold
shocks from the restless popular ele-
ments. If NAPOLEON can hold his po-
sition for ten or twelve years longer, he
may transmit the Grown to his son
without mediation. France will be
more quiet if it believes this possible,
than if it were compelled to speculate
upon the chances ofa succession, of bar
ricades and soforth.
The political world has wondered
why NAPOLEON so speedily abandoned
his claims upon Prussia, for an extern
sion Of the French borders. Perhaps
the Court physician could solve this
mystery. A sick emperor does not want
| war-especially when war must depend
for success upon his own presence and
efforts, and when failure would involve
revolution. And BISMARCK did not hes
itate to show that any attempt to en-
force claim for the Rhenish frontier,
must involve struggle in which all the
German races would unite for resistance.
NAPOLEON, therefore, may have conclu-
ded to wait. IF he RECEIVERS from his
present indisposition, it will be as easy
to enforse his demand a. year hence as
J now. If the result shall be fatal, it were
( better that he should not transmit to

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION OF A POWDER
HoUsE.-We have been informed by a
gentleman who was in Akron last Sat-
urday that terrible explosion occurred
in the finishing powder house of Austin
& Co., about one and half miles from
the city, at ten o'clock on that day
The report was heard for miles around,
and the dense, black smoke, ascending
above the fearful scene, could he plainly
seen from the town. When the report
of the explosion was heard crowds of
people focked to the mills, as they were
aware, from former experience, that an
accident had occurred there. It was as
certained that two men-one having
charge of the building, and the driver
front of the house-were killed. Both
A few small pieces of flesh, probably an
inch square, were the only traces left of
the men, and hoof and some spokes
from the wagon wheels furnished the
only evidence ola team having been
there. There was not one stone left
upon another to mark the spot where
the building stood, but every thing con-
nected with it was so shattered and scat
tered that one unacquainted with the
circumstances would not have believed
building ever stood there. Not rem
nant Of the house remained nothing
but black spot marked the place where
it stood. A large beam, fifteen feet
long and twelve inches square, was
thrown fifty rods with such violence
that it cut through the body of a butter
nut tree standing in the way. The plas
tering was shaken from the walls of a
house which stood about fifty rods from
the mill, and all the timbers in the
building were sprung from their places.
The castings in the mill have been bro
ken SO badly that one piece cannot be
distinguished from another. Even the
ears Of corn were blown from the stalks
in the surrounding fields. Our infor-
mant thought he was aware of the
strength of gunpowder, but this explo-
sure convices him the ELECTS must be
seen and felt before they can be realized.

Another Gun Spiked.

The Sentinel claims that certain gentle
men named on the Union State Committee,
will not identify themselves with the move
ment to elect Gen. Dockery Governor
The Sentinel has deceived its readers in
this, as in other matters.
We have letters from Lewis Thompson
and Robert P. Dick. They will cordially
support Gen. Dockery. The sentiments con-
tanned in these letters were referred to in the
proceedings of the Union meeting.
Mr.. Settle was detained by his duties as
Solicitor at Chatham Court. He was in the
City on Saturday. He is warmly in favor
of Gen. Dockery, and is an outspoken adv O.
cate of the Howard amendment.
Tod R. Caldwell, ESQ.,, was detained also
by business he could not neglect. He will
also support Gen. Dockery actively and
warmly.

In consequence Of the recent great improve

so that no one need hesitate to buy watch now
from the expectation that it will be cheaper at
some future time. The test of ten years and the

More than zoe, 700 Watches
have given our productions the very highest rank
among time-keepers. Commencing with the de-
termination to make only thoroughly excellent
watches, our business has steadily increased as
the public became acquainted with their value,
until for months together, we have been unable
to supply the demand. We have repeatedly
larged our factory buildings until they now cover
over three acres of ground, and give accommoda-
ton to more than eight hundred workmen.
We are fully justified in saying that we

The Southern states and the Constitute
tional Amendment.

H. - 80
The precise question now before the South
ern States still excluded from Congress is
whether they shall accept the advantages of
fered them with the immediate adoption of
the constitutional amendment now before
the States for their ratification, or remain
{" out in the cold" for an indefinite length of
time-one, two, five, ten or twenty years,
waiting for something more acceptable as the
price Of their restoration.
This is the question, and we now feel it to
be our duty, in behalf of the South, the adj
ministration and the country at large, to urge
upon the excluded States the saving policy
and the great advantages of an immediate
adoption of the conditions offered by Con-
gress in this aforesaid amendment. The
great difficulty in this matter lies in the al
tentative presented of the admission of the
blacks to the elective franchise or their cx-
clusion from the enumeration of the people
of every State concerned in representation in
Congress. The following tables will show
this section of the amendment will work in
the excluded or unreconstructed States, with
the denial or concession of the suffrage to
the blacks, according to the census of 1860
