Fight OH the First Issue.

The story from the pen of "CoRHY
OLANUS," published in another column,
is one which we have already laid be-
fore our readers, but from the clearness
with which it illustrates the Radical
temper and disposition. we think it
worthy of repetition. The Ratlical
whale is not to be diverted from its de-
structive purposes by any small tubs
which may be thrown to it by the timid
and the peaceably inclined If we are
not prepared to make complete sur
render, we may rs well deny all de-
mands and eight it out on the first
issue.' One concession will be the
mere prelude to another demand.
Sacrifice will follow sacrifice. To
yield is to envite encroachment, and
if we ever intend to offer opposition,
the hour of the first attack is the time
for resistance. Nothing is to be gained
by abandoning principle to pacify the
enemy. Such action only wcakens the
defences, and renders our success less
probable in the decisive struggle, which,
like O'KEEGAN's fight, is sure to come
in the end.

This is the name of the following
beautiful piece, which we select from n
number of clippings: .-..
Softly the suns last rays are glinting
Over the hillside, over the sea,
Flushin. the ficecy clouds, and tintin@
With gold and crimson the purple sea,
While hand In hand they wander together
Youth of twenty and child of ten
Across the sea-beach, over the heather,
BY sloping hillock and shady glen;
A breeze is stirring each ripping curl
On the sunny head of the little girl,
And her eyes, from the shading hats broad
brim,
With innocent love look up to him,
Ten long years-and the mellow cleaning
Casts its glamor Der glen and lea,
And glides the sands where maid is roaming
With ewes that wander beyond the sea.
Ten long years-and that daily glory
Has dawncd and darkened on wood and grove,
Lighting the page of lasting story
The old, old story of maiden's love.
But duty severed those clasping hands
As the pitiless ocean sewers the lands
And the heart grew sad and tho eyes grew dim,
Wearily waiting and watching for him.
Ten years more-wbile the restless pillows
Fret and foam on the patient shore
And the red beams slant through the weeping
willows,
And write strange words on the Srecnsward d
floor;
But far from ingle, and glen and heather.
From the purple hills of their native Land,
Wander those two as of yOre together
Heart answering heart, hand clasping hand,
No more watching through heevy tears,
No more waiting through weary years,
But eyes that in radiant love-light swim,
And lifelong devotion, look up to him .-

Sixth Ward Democratic NeetinR.

Pursuant to an advertisement pub
lished in the REGISTER, the Democrats
of the Sixth Ward met i'll council last
evening. The Ward nominations made
on last Saturday night, were unanimous
w ratified and the utmost good feeling
and harmony prevailed. Whatever
dissatisfaction may have existed has
entirely disappeared, and snch is
the unity of sentiment among
the Democratic voters of that
Ward. that n decidedly increased
majority will be given there for our
municipal ticket. We speak what we
do know when we say that our friends
down there are working with such en-
ergy rs they have never displayed be-
fore, and are determined to give splen-
did account of themselves at the com
ing election. In this connection, we
desire on behalf of the Democratic vo-
ters to tender their warmest thanks to
the editor of the Intelligeacer for his
assistance in uniting and inspiring
their party for the coming struggle
Hi. sublime strategy in seeking to fos'
ter dissension in our ranks has been
attended with the happiest results, for
as, and we would be truly ungratcful
did we not make the proper acknowl-
edrcments. Give us another blast, MIR.

Preservation Of Cnbbages.

A correspondent asks us to publish
the best method of keeping cabbages
through the winter. and havingOn hand
q letter on the very subject, which meets
the case, we give it in the writer's Ian
puape. By the way, we will state that
the authority is sound: Il let my cab
bage stand until late in the season, and
if discover no symptoms OF rot, until
we have unmistakable signs of the ap-
pearance of winter, ] choose the dryest
part of my garden or field, and with
spade or hoe dig holes in rows, say two
feet apart, just large enough to receive
two-thirds of cabbage head. select
one of the largest and most solid heads,
phil ID up by the roots, wrap it up in
the large coarse leaves that grow to the
stalk, and chuck il into one of the holes,
with the stump inclining upward at an
angle of forty-five degrees. or even
placed vertically. Nothing now re-
mains but to shovel on two or three
inches of dirt, and press it down upon
the head and around the stump, few
inches of which may be left above
ground TO mark the spot and serve as
handle to pull the cabbage up by.
Treated in this way, have found them
finer By far, frcsher, sweeter and more
render than when gathered In the fail,
and Inever lost sound head. have
gone out in March, when there were
three feet of snow on the ground, and
with a shovel and crow bar, have ex-
humed such cabbages as would have
made your correspondents mouth water,
and long after the frost was out of the
ground have found them equally as
good. This mode is attended with some
more labor than that Of huddling them
into large holes or trenches, or hanging
til, m up in 4 cellar, but to those who
are fond Of fresh cabbages in the spring,
and confess to special fonduess for
the same, having spent some years in
tile capacity of tailor, the extra pains
is labor well bestowed"

PROFESSOR Goss, having had COM
mon beetle brought to him, placed it for
the convenience of the moment under a
quart bottle full ofmilk, which happen
ed to be on the table. Presently, to the
surprise of everybody present, the bot
tie began to move slowly and glide
along the smooth table, propelled by the
muscular power of the imprisoned in
sect. The weight of the bottle and its
contents could not have been less than
three pounds and half, while that OF
the beetle was about half an ounce, so
that it really moved weight one hun
dred and twelve times its own. A better
notion of this fact than figures can con-
vey, says the writer, will be obtained by
suppo.ing lad of fifteen to be impris-
oned under the great bell OF st. Pauls,
which weighs 10000 pounds, and to move
it to and fro on smooth pavement by
pushing within.

The method by which the Radicals
expect TO succeed at the uext Presiden-
tial election, was clearly indicated by
the bill offered in the House of Repre-
sentatives on Tuesday last, by Nr.
WILSON, of Iowa. This bill if passed,
will prevent any of the Southern States
from taking part in any Presidential
election, until the Radical Representa-
tives of portion of the country shall
decree otherwise. The bound and
beaten victims must wear their man
acles and bear their stripes until the
sated fury of their tormentors shall bid
their limbs be loosed and their wounds
healed. A complete satisfaction of
Radical passion and greed for power is
the only condition upon which por-
ton of the American people can eX-
ercise those privileges which
legally and rightfully are the common
property of all our citizens. Revenge
must be glutted, ayarce must be salts
fed, corruption must be filled, love
and lust of power that grows as 1T feeds
must be fully sated before "the law
making power of the United States"
will declare the Southern States IRE
stored to their political relations to the
Union" and, consequently, "entitled to
representation in the Electoral Col
legc." A Radical Congress assumes the
right to decide when these people OF
the South shall participate in the bust.
ness and benefits of our Government,
and it is but fair to suppose that so
long as their political equality will
thwart Radical plan or prejudice
q Radical interest, so long will that
equality be denied. Their representa-
tion in the Electoral College OF
1868. might secure the election OF
an honest and incorruptible man. The
Radicals propose to provide against any
such contingency, and secure the cleo
ton of their candidate by the passage
of the bill to which we have referred
Should a Radical defeat be rendered
possible by counting the Southern vote
cor President in 1872, it is but fair to
presume that the Southern States will
still be deemed unfit to participate in
Presidential election. And thus, IT
would seem, the policy of Southern e1-
elusion is to be continually pursued un-
til Southern voice has no terrors for q
Northern ear. The same reasons that
prompt that exclusion now will continue
to incite it, as long as the South shall
oppose the Radicalism of the North. A
fear of losing power and plunder
is the only motive for Radical ac-
tion in this regard at present, ard
while the Southern vote continues to be
source of danger to Radical ambition,
we may expect to have the policy Of the
present Congress perpetuated. When
ever the people of the lately rebellious
States shall give evidence of their con-
version to Radicalism, then only viii

ONE of the most brilliant Russian
Princesses ordered her chambermaid, in
st. Petersburg, to iron her a handker-
chief. The iron proved too hot, and the
handkerchief was slightly scorched.
When the Princess saw this she turned
deadly pale, started from her armchair,
took the girl by the nape of the neck
aud carried her to the kitchen. The
poor chambermaid screamed: Il did not
do it on purpose.n The Princess shook
her violently every time she screamed,
crying Silence" The great iron stove
was almost red hot. The Princess pull

head, tied them about her neck, and
forced her to sit on the hot stove until
she tainted 9 80. e.sc

Editors of Begister:
suppose you and your readers would
not object to hear from this section once
in while, even though we cannot fur
nish any sensational news items. We
are quietly pursuing the "even tenor OF
our way" attending to our own busi-
ness, and not borrowing much trouble
about State politics, although we felt
considerable interest in the late cleo
tion. The population is mnch scatter
ed, but we could once throw about a
thousand votes in an important election.
The decrease to sixty-fiye does not show
much progress, to be sure, but then,
can hear of no more peaceablc popula,
ton from any section. We have
very little "lawing" among neighbors,
and personal quarrels and drunken
brawls, none. Our farmers are gather
ing in their corn, and now and then one
is making whisky in n small way. We
have plenty of fine timber, and it would
benefit us immensely to have some way
to get it to market. So, also, have we
an abundance Of coal and iron ore, but,
like the rose that was "born TO blush
unseen" they will waste their richness
on the mountain air, until we have
some means of calling capital here.
Parties from New York, who have lately
purchased one hundred thousand acres
down the valley of the Guyandotte, are
promising to begin some improvements
in the spring. If they do so, it Will
help us some.

10 advertisement of your spicy paper.
The citizens are so much scattered they
have not much opportunity for chatting
about newspapers, and L think your
prospectus ought to be circulated here,
that the people may get the right kind
of paper, printed in their own State.
Two panthers have been seen about
the country here for the past few days.

of our men talk of hunting the big one
down.

many of any kind. i suppose our wise
