A FABLE.-John Jones drank one whisky
toddy. Iour gin-slings, eight brandy smashes,
sixteen punches. and topped off the days
performance with bowl of egg nogg. He
went home, broke his child's arm, knocked
one of his wife's eyes out, smashed up his
furniture, and tumbling over a stool. knock
ed half his teeth down his throat. A heavy
doctors bill was the consequence, and also a
big bill to replace the furniture, crockery,
etc, which he had destroyed on his spree
When the bills came in, Jones flew into a
passion and stormcd at the outrageous
manner in which merchants and doctors OPP
pressed the people. Hush, john" said
his wife; it is not the doctor and merchants
who are to blame for these heavy bills. 1t
is all owing to your getting on that beastly
spree. Those that dance must pay the
fiddler
The Democratic leaders in the State of
Tennessee got on hig spree in 1861. They
"whiskeyed" on the School Fund, they ''bran-
died " on the State Bank, and they punch
ed" on the rebel militia until there was a
universal smashing up of all the furniture
which the people had collected at the capital
Finally, after Uncle Sam got the revelers tied
down, DR.. Brownlow was called in to give
them dose of Radical Number Sic. Now
these Democrats set up a terrible howl at
the bad taste of d.. Brownlow's medicine
and complain of his charges. If John Jones
hadn't got on that spree, he would have had
no doctors and merchants bill to pay and
if the Democratic politicians of Tennessee
had not dragged the State into rebellion
there would have been no need of heavy
taxes to pay for their folly Those who
dance must pay the fiddler.-Press and Times

THAT SEA-SERPENT IN LAKE ONTARIO
ONCE MoRE.-A correspondent of the
Rochester Union & Adgertiser, writing from
Soius Point, n. Y, Aug. z, tells the follow
ing:
Considerable excitement prevails here at
the discovery ofa veritable sea-serpent just
outside the piers at the harhor entrance
Some men employed on the public works
saw the monster some days ago and re-
ported it, but it was thought they were mis-
taken. Others saw it afterward; and yes
terday four or five men in boat came full
upon it, riding the crest of the wave its head
elevated, they say, several feet above the
water, and its huge form entirely visible
near the surface. They described it as about
thirty feet long and as large around as a
mans body, resembling, as it lay on the
water, the Liberty pole which is ofthose
dimensions. they rowcd after the creature
its head descended into the water, and it
glided near the surface for some time, afford
ing them good view till, alarmed at their
approach, it plunged down, disappearing in
the depths. Efforts will be made to capture
it alive for exhibition, but there seems not
much chance of its being secured by hook,
and net could hardly go deep enough
There can be no doubt now, however, of the
existence of such prodigious serpents in the
lake"

CgVT0N STATISTICS.

The following is an official record of
the exports of American cotton during
the fiscal wear ending June 80, 1867, as
complied at the Bureau Of Statistics:
Upland and Sea Island cotton expor
ted from all ports ofthe United States,
667lS7.S7O pounds, with value in
currency of s2O2, ,S70,910. The admix-
tureofSea Island cotton with the uplands
explains the seemingly high valuation.
Official comparison with foreign sta
tistics reveals the fact that the cotton,
on arrival abroad, fully realized in
market the export values sworn to here,
though the price of cotton declined since
October last. The cost Of shipments
accounts for this per contra. The sworn
values abroad ofmuch of our dry goods
during the same period were not realized
on sale here, dry goods having seriously
declined since the fall of 1866.
Two hundred and three million dollars
fora single article ofexport indicates the
extraordinary resources of the country.
The exports Of cotton for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1866, (inclpding
Sea Island cotton,) were $50, 9,572.s2
pounds, valued at 2S1 1856, ,223, which
is less in quantity but more in value
than during the year just closed. The
cotton market and the currency at the
two periods explains the paradox.
Director Delmar is receiving official
returns showing the average quantity of
cotton seed sown to the acre, the esti-
matted yield of cotton in bales, and the
number of pounds counted to the bale
In each locality OF the entire cotton
growing region of the United States.
These returns, when finished, will show
and comprehensive data on
this important subject, and will be pub
lished officially from the Bureau Of
Statistics.

How THEY TAKE THE OATH.-The
clamoring Of the rebel press for regis
tration, addressed mainly to that class
of rebels, who, though fully stepped in
treason are not distianchised, as we'll
as the invitation 50 generally extended
for a stretch of conscience, in deciding
what constitutes aid to the rebellion, is
having marked effect. We know
number of persons in this community,
who held office before the war, who dur
ing and since the war, were most violent
in advocating secession and rebellion,
who now, because they gave no physical
aid to the rebels, cody swear that they
were not "engaged in instruction or re-
bellion against the United States, or
given aid or comfort to the enemies
thereof" This class ofconscience strain
ers are found mainly among the bomb
proofs of the Confederacy.
On Saturday last, while on the eve-
ming train for Morehead, we had occa-
sion to witness the respect given to "the
oath" in certain quarters. In the same
car with US were a number of gentlemen
from New Bern. A Magistrate of this
county, who we believe is a professor of
religion, took particular pains to relate
and repeat aloud for the benefit of the
passengers that ':a friend of his had been
and taken that oath, and then gone
straight home and taken dose of Castor
oil to make it go clean through him."

Our hi@h-pressure civilization has
. its disadvantages and dangers, which
/ it is we'll not to forget. One is that the
ftverish activities it encourages are otter
too much for the brain, whose fine struc,
ture too often yields to over-work or I'm
f due excitement. This evil is alarmingly
on the increase, both here and on the
other side of the Atlantic. Last yeal
/ the London Medical Times and Ga
zste reported that the number of the in
sane in England had increased twenty
one per cent. in five years, while the
! population had only increased five per
cent. In France the case was still
worse. The number Of the insane in
creased forty per cent. in five years,
while the population only increased
two per cent. That is to say, the Freuch
are twice as crazy as the English. Per-
|haps Frenchman would retort as
Robert Hall did, when some fool asked
him what brought him to an insane asy-
lum: "What will never bring you here,
'slr-too much brains?"
The Pail Mall Gazette takes up this
subject afresh, and confirms what the
Medical Journal had said as to the alar-
ming increase of insanity. 1t estimates
hat in England mental diseases have
Pained on the population to the extent
bf at least three per ceut. per annum
kince 1859. The present ratio of the in
pane to the population it puts at one to
everv four hundred and ten. In the
whole Of Great Britain there is tue
greatest amount of insanity in England
Rnd the least in Ireland, probably be
Fause in the former there is the greatest
Mental activity and the most high liv-
nc.
In this country it is conceded fact
hat insanity has increased considerably
n the last ten years. Nowhere in the
world is the strain on the mental organ
zatlon greater or more intense than
6ere, where the work of a generation is
tone in a year.

INSTRUCTIONS TO DEPUTIES.

INSTRUCTIONS TO DEPUTIES
l. When you desire to establish Council of
the u L. A. at any point, go there or send an
assistant. Assemble eight or more loyal men,
explain to them the objects, and as far you
think proper, the principles of the Union League,
OF America. If they consent to become mem
bers, initiate them. After you have given them
the secret work, take the Chair, state to them
the number and names of the officers they have
to elect You will then have them proceed to an
election to fill the different offices from among
the men initiated.
g After the officers are elected, you will re-
quest eight or more of the members to sign an
application for Charter. This application and
the fee of--you will forward to the Cores
ponding Secretary of the State League, who will
send q Charter and the necessary books blanks
&C., to the President of the new Council.
g. If you are unable to attend the organization
of Council you may deputize and send an as
sistant, being responsible for his prompt report.
t. Instruct the Councils that they should hold
meetings once in each week, and that they
should follow the ceremony as nearly as possible
Advise them to enlist all the loyal talent in their
neighborhood, and that they have speaking when
ever they can.
s. You will perceive that the saccess of the
Councils which you establish will depend in
great tmeasure upon the men who are its founders,
and who may be elected to fill the offices. They
should not only be prudent, vigiant energetic,
and loyal, but they should be men who possess
the confidence of their fellow citizens
g. You should establish Councils in each elec-
ton precinct. These Councils should not only

RALEIGH, N. c., SATU RDA Y
LAMENT FOR HIRAM.
B BRO. COFFINBERRY, G. NJ. MICHIGA

BY BRO. coFFNBERRY, G. NJ. MICHIGAN.
Oh weep for him, who, early doomed,
Lay on Moriah's brow,
Whose ashes there were found entombed,
Beneath the cassia's bough;
Oh weep We for the widows son."
Whose glorious race so soon was run.
Let Israels widows raise the wall
And strew their heads with dust,
Let Judah's daughters don the vail
And weep-for weep they must,
Der the young architect who won
The glory for King Solomon.
Bright genius sat upon his brow,
And love lit up his soul,
Both are crushed and broken now,
Their knell with sorrow toll:
For meier again can either dwell
Within so fair, so bright shell.
Let Israel's monarch doff his crown,
And bow his head in grief;
With dust and ashes strcw the throne
Of Israel's royal chief:
And cast his purple robes away
Naught but vain bubbles now are they.
The trestle-board hath no designs,
The compasses are still,
The cypress round the altar twines;
Grief doth the temple fill
And idle lies the gavel there,
The plumb, the level and the square.
That mystic bond, alas !! is broken,
That knit three souls in one
And ever lost that mystic token,
With the poor widows son:
For none again shall ever wear
That emblem of his talents rare.
There, where yon broken columns rears
With snow white marble urn,
Let Israel's virgin shed her tears,
And there still let her mourn:
There let her still her vigil keep,
For meath it doth young Hiram sleep.
