THE following are indications of the Demo
cratic mind of the past, present and future. The
papers from which they are quoted are bright
shining lights of that party:
The country has had enough, and more than
enough, of Philip Sheridan g impudence. If the
President respects himself and the Office he
holds, he will straightway kick the insolent,
drunken upstart out of the Office of district COM
mander- Chicago Times.

about Charleston with a coach and four. and
with the style and bearing of European des-
pot. " Put beggar on horseback" is an old
adage, !" and he will ride to the devil" So it is
with the miserable whep, but it is pity he
would not drive his party there also.-New York
World
Democracy will resume its glorious march,
and the '' dreams of the secessonsts - become
the living realities of the future. Instead of
dying in vain the names of Sidney Johnston,
Stonewall jackson, and their heroic compatri-
OTIS, will be immortal forever for however mask
ed or misunderstood, they were true champions
of American Democracy, and the martyrs of
American civilzaton-that grand civilization
which, based on the natural distinctions of race,
is destined to spread over the whole boundless
continent, and regenerate Christendom. - Old

HIGH PRIvArE.-Apropos of Mr.. Parton

HIGH PRIvATE.-ApropOs of Mr.. Parton's s
paper upon &c The Sewing Machine" published
in late number of the atlantic Monthly, Col.
Stephen A. Walker relates the following Incl
dent go In the Fall of 1862, the Government
was hard pressed for funds to pay troops or any
other debtors, and the consequent suffering Of
soldiers families was very great. From July,
1862, to about January 18th, 1868, no payments
in the field were made. AT this time was
paymaster in the army, with an office in WASH
ington. One day private soldier came mod
esty into my office, and took corner seat to
await the notice of shoulder-strap dignity. His
turn came, and turned to him with patron
izing manner, | have no doubt, and said, Now,
what can do for you, man He replied that he
had called to about the payment of the Sew
enteenth Connecticut. l interrupted him with
the often-rehearsed story that could not work
without money, that the Government could fur
nish none, and that soldiers must wait on pay
masters till the mill could turn off some more
greenbacks. Whereupon the private remarked
that he knew the Government was in straits, and
that he had called to find out how much money
would be wanted to pay his regiment and if
would tell him that he stood ready to furnish it.
These rather magical and astonishing
words to Mr.. Officer. The private was much the
biggest man after all, and his blue coat was
wrapped about some disguised money-lord.

No UsE.-Sherman, on his march to Atlanta,
constantly astonished the rebels by the facility
with which he restored the railroad bridges they
destroyed at his approach. They would annhi-
late bridge just before he arrived, and the next
morning there it was again just as it had been
before they touched it. At last light dawned
upon them. The original plans for the bridges
had all been furnished from Cleveland Ohio, and
before Sherman started he took these plans, had
each bridge duplicated in all its timbers and
iron work, took the pieces in 70 shook start
ed on his train, and so, when he found a bridge
gone, he had nothing to do but get its mate out
of the freight cars, bolt it together and put it
up. This thing worried the rebels good deal
when they found it out. One day they proposed
to destroy the Dalton tunnel, to hinder Sher-
man s march, but an exasperated Confederate
said - What in the nations the use? That
id old Sherman probably fetched another one
along with him from Cleveland ~

on with the wrinkled spoils of age!
Away with Learning's crowni
rear out lifes wisdom written page,
And dash its trophies DOWN.
One moment let my life-blood stream
From boyhood's fount of flannel
Give me one giddy, reeing dream
VI life all love and famel
My listening angel heard the prayer,
And smiling calmly, said:
"1f but touch the slvered hair,
Thy hasty wish hath sped;
&C But Is there nothing in thy track
To bid thee fondIy stay,
While the swift seasons hurry back
To find the wished-for day 7"
All, truest soul of woman kind
Without thee what life
One bliss 1 cannot leave behind
Eli take my-precious-wife!
The angel took sapphire pen
And wrote in mountain dew:
"The man would be boy again,
And be husband too"'
"And is there nothing yet unsaid,
Before the change appears!
Remember all their gifts have fed
With those dissolving years
Why, yes; for memory would recall
My fond paternal joys;
could not bear to leave them all
I'll take my-grl-and-boysl
The smiling angel dropped kis pen
"Why, this will never do
The man would be boy again,
And be father, too!'
And so laughed-my laughter woke
The household with its noise
And wrote my dream when morning broke,
To please the gray-haired boys.

Major John Hughes, of Newbern, has ac-
cepted the nomination for the State Senate
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resig-
nation of Judge Manly. Major Hughes is
eminently qualified for the position
Sentinel 81
The endorsement of the Sentinel is suffi-
cient evidence of the rebel opinions of this
person Hughes.
This attempt by Gov. Worth and his par
tizans to rush rebel into the vacancy occa-
stoned by the resignation of Judge Manly,
without giving the colored people chance
to vote, is additional proof of the contempt
and hatred with which they regard the ma
tional government. The election was fixed
for the 21st Under the Sherman act, which
Gen. Robinson has proclaimed the law Of
the land, the colored people of Craven had a
right to vote. We trust they exercised that
right at all hazards
If the rebels and traitors of Craven Coun.
ty had been disposed to submit in good
faith to the Sherman act they would have
made no nomination for this vacancy, but
would have retired, and allowed the loyal
people to fill it.

Savings Banks.

Institutions of this kind are of great i'm
portance to the laboring classes, as means
OF saving what little they can. spare from
their daily support. We would be glad to
see Bank of this kind in every town of i'm
portance in this State. The last Norfolk
Republican has the following notice of the
Freedmen's Savings Bank in that City:
y FREEDMENs SAVINGS BANK.-This insti-
tuition, we judge, has done a neat business
for the past week in receiving deposits from
the 1st and I'd colored cavalry, who have
just been paid their $500 bounty. The
Cashier informs us that he received from
these two regiments alone last week the
snug sum of $15,543,00, This. sounds weN,
and we commend the soldier boys for their
prudence.
The Bank has now established twenty
three branches in all parts of the South, and
retains a balance of deposits amounting to
upwards of 100000! The amount now on
deposit in the Norfolk Branch is $42, ,267,
and the number of accounts S0S.
We wish all the colored soldiers would
stop patrolizing the miserable q Savings
Banks" where vile drinks are exchanged for
their hard earned money, and begin to be
men by laying aside their earnings in this
National Bank, and so provide by and by a
home and support for their old age"

Rebel MaIignitY.

The Union Register, of Greensborough, a
loyal and valuable newspaper, complains that
handbills, containing prospectus of the
paper, are not allowed to remain posted up
on the streets of that place. Greensborough
was at one time loyal town. But it was
corrupted in its politics by Confederate and
State patronage during the rebellion, and
loyalty in Greensborough is now at low
ebb. But this State of things can not con-
tinue. The loyal white and colored vote
will soon purify the atmosphere in that
quarter, and it may be that certain persons
who are fourishing on fortunes piled up on
the blood and bones of our people during
the rebellion, will have to disgorge.
The Register says:
at is surprising what conteptible acts
some men, who claim to be the genuine chiv-
airy can commit. There is no reason why
this advertisement should not be allowed to
remain in public places as we'll as others,
except the fact that some, who have hitherto
been the leaders, or rather mis-leaders, of
public opinion, are not entirely pleased with
the sentiments of the Register. Some of the
principal citizens of this place have been
seen engaged in the despicable business of
tearing down these business notices, while
others stood by approving the act. There
is something entirely below even contempt in
these petty acts of malevoience, but We shall
dignity some of the perpetrators, with
public notice of an unmistakable character,
if tho act ic repeated and IF tbio mill MT do
we will see if there is not some power which
will put to stop to it. A man who will
countenance such operations is not whit
above robbing hen-roosts, or stealing green
water-melons from blind freed-woman."
