ChignOns.

The Fayetteville Observer thinks tina
chignons, or waterfalls, worn by ladies
and which are fast going into disrcputt
on account of the discovery of grega.
rincs, filthy little worms propagated in
the hair of which they are composed
we'll, the Observer, as we started to say,
thinks they are an awkward, ungrace-
full appcndage to a prettily shaped head,
looking much like a huge deformity,
and if dispensed with altogether. if may
be said that the discovery ofgregarincs
has done the ladies a good service. AS
for the Home Journal it has nothing to
say in the matter. If the dear ladies
want to wear chignons, and if the CHG
mons should contain gregarines, we are
certain we arc safe. Chignons don't
get into such close proximity to our
head as to infest il, and il they did, We
believe we'd take the gregarines rather
than miss the close proximity.

General Wade HamntOn nf g

General Wade Hampton, Of South
Carolina, defines his position on the
suffrage question in very plain and
concise language. He says:
81 am willing to give the right of
suffrage to all who can read and who
pay a certain amount of taxes, and
agree that all, white as well as black,
who do not possess these qualifications
shall be excluded. l would not take
this right from any who have hereto
fore exercised it, but 1 wish to see all
educational and property qualification
for voters adopted for the future. Let
this qualification bear on white and
black alike, and while it will cut off from
voting some of both races, it will be a
strong inducement to all to seek edu-
cation and to obtain for themselves a
real and tangible interest in the State.
1t will serve to elevate all classes, and
contribute not only to the material
prosperity of the State, but to the in
creas of virtue and education among
her people,"

Murder for Tennessee,

In the proceedings Of The Senate up
on the proposition to furnish two thou
sand muskcts to Brownlow, to be usct
for arming his Estate Guard,' the fol
lowing passage occurred:
"Mr. Patterson would ask his col
league to state what Union men haC
been assasinated.
Mr.. Fowler said 4 whole family, ev,
cry male member, but he did not think
it necessary to go into this matter.
Mr.. Patterson asked ifrcbcls had not
been murdered:
Mr.. Fowler, Of Tenncsscc, would like
to know if his colleague was setting
himself up as the defender Of the reb,
els?
Mr.. Patterson said he was not, but
he would like to know il rebels also
had not been murdered?
Mr.. Fowler said he Hoped so-hoped
some ofMese rms wouM be used for this
pu,p0se.'
The language Of Brownlow's man
Fowler needs no comment. IL is too
revolving for criticism. 1t reaches the
spirit of the despotism under which we
live, the spirit of vengeance and MUIR
der. To rule this State with an iron
hand, or to visit its people with the dc.
'truction ofthc little they have left, is
he aim Of those who claim to be Gre
,ublicans." Into this threatened ruin,

Emigration to the South.

Undoubtedly there are thousands of
persons north and west who want to
to Tennessee and other southern
They want small farms, and if
we could induce them to come among
us and cultivate these farms, he must
be wanting in common sense who would
argue that we, as q community, as q
country, and as State, wouldnotb be bet
ter of. We want capital we want men
who understand the great science of
farming; we want an interchange of
views, and the result would be fields of
waving grain where now the sedge grass
grows in luxuriant profusion, where
now only a decaying rail here and there
is LETT to remind US that once the land
was enclosed.
We know the people Of the South
have q herculcan task before them in
bringing forward such a state of things
as we wish for. They have to combat
the infamous lies Of Ra licals who give
out that a union man cannot live in the
South without running the risk Of be-
ing dcvourcd, hair and all, by some
rebel with hools and horns like unto
those ascribcd to Old Scratch. The
Radicals, forpaltry party purpose, make
it appear that there is discord and SUI
premacy Of lynch law all over the
South, instead ofpcace and quiet, and
We down here who know what infamous
lies are told on us, are disposed to re-
main silent and bear in patience the ca
lnmnies heapcd upon US. Here we are
at fault. Here we are acting the part
Of the nan who waits for something
better to turn up, instead Of going to
work to turn up something.
We are led into these hasty remarks
by the pcrusal ola letter written TO Mr..
A. ID. Lansdcn, o -four town, by a gen
.tlcman Of Palestine, Crawford county,
Illinois. This gentleman has been to
our town, and is DESTROYS Of coming
here to live. lie knows Of many who
partakc Of his desire, but he cannot
convince them that they would be safe
here. They also want information as
to the Country. The writer ofthc let
ter makes a good suggestion. lie
says; Suppose parties having lands,
or farms, or town lots, and who feel
an interest in the increase Of the white
population would combine and publish
4 circular, in pamphlet form, giving the
price OF property, or what the owners
would take for it, setting forth the i'm
)rOvcmcnts distance from railroads
md other roads the health water,
and quality water powers,
Vc., and send these circulars to PERSONS .
North and West, Have agents in each
own, who could be written to, aud l
whose replies could be shown emi. =
This, We remark again, is a :.
GOOD suggestion, and would while in ;,
ended to benefit us more particularly !,
n u commercial and monicd way, be Il p,
means Of ncutralizing the poison in.
used into the minds Of Northern and :.
Western people by the studied and out
ageous lies Of the Radical press and

We We're pleasantly entertained last

Of Compositions. The readiness with
which the young ladies came up to per.
form the no easy task OF reading theil
own compositions before the whole

praiscworthy. Mrs. Graves, their .ac.
compllshed i~nstructress, is quite exact,
ing az to the distinctness Of thcil
enunclation, requiring that every one
who reads shall be heard to the extreme

composition, or arrangement Of words

Tor we suppose she has few equals in

accomplishment it is to q young lady
to be able TO arrange her thoughts into

may have been to his country, he has
no right to public recognition unless he

The increase of celibacy in France,

at the street corners, yet, as one OF
them despairingly remarks, in an hours

one may now meet at least a hundred

We don't pretend to be able to de-
eide why young men have a growing
aversion to matrimony. But there is
a sort of dullncss in the market, and it
would not be amiss to attempt to find
the cause. We heard a prominent
young physician Of Winchester make

beings, unfit for household duties, be

and the indulgence of these to the ex-

our fair ladies, and soft young gentle
men, would be an end attained, far
preferable to confused notions of polit-
