They have deemed expedient to offer them
to their friends and the public at one dollar
and fifty cents each, the price heretofore hav-

pose of stimulating the getting up of Clubs
they have determined to award premiums to
the getters up of Clubs, and in addition
thereto to distribute amongst the subscribers
the sum of $4,000 in money and paintings
as soon as the sale shall have reached 100000
engravings. As it is our intention to adver-
tise very extensively, and as the engravings
are well known throughout the whole coun-
try, we have no doubt, that with the low price
we charge for them, and with the exertion
which will be put forth by our numerous
friends, the number will be reached In short
time. As soon as it is reached, the subscri-
bers, through their Club Agents, will be mott
fed by circular letter from us, naming the

Won,t he Mnned.

The South is obdurate; the South will
not be won; the South will not submit tC
be wooed. So we are told. Therefore, II
is necessary that the South be forced to en-.
ter the blissful state of wedlock. The WOO
ing of the South by the Republican party
has been peculiar. In all wooing that ha s
taken place since Adam and Eve left
the garden of Eden it has had no par
allel. Even that consummate scoundrel,
as he is represented by SHAKESPEARE, RICH
ARD the Third, ungainly and deformed,
wooed and won Queen ANNE in the pres.
ence of her murdered husband, who had
been dispatched at his instance, 10
an altogether different manner than
that in which the Republican party
has undertaken to WOO and win
the South. He protested pathetically
and vehemently to her that it was an un-
controllable love for her that caused him
to instigate the murder of her husband,
and that If he had done aught amiss in
this, he asked herSto take his sword and
quickly send him to his accountability In
the great beyond. Thus he wOoed aud won.
Not so wooes the Republican party the
South. Instead of wreathing their coun-
tenances with smiles, they put on forbid
ding frowns when they speak to and of the
South. Instead of affecting regret for the
necessity that compelled them to engage in
a war that has desolated and impoverished
the South, exultingly they attempt to JUS
tify it as most holy. Instead of accept
ing the assurances of the South that she
accepts the issue of the War in good faith,
they decry her and reproach her as want
ing in all those characteristics that are
lovely and endearing in humanity. In
stead of being content with allowing those
OF an inferior race, that hitherto were in
servitude to her, an equality in the
race of ''life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness" simply, they de-
mand that to the members of the inferior
race, just set free, shall'be given the polit-
ical power now held by the Southern
Whites, and that those Southern Whites |
shall hereafter be permitted to exercise no |
more power than the hitherto servile race
exercises. Is it strange that the South is
to be wooed and won on any |
such terms?
