to which We may appeal whose power
can redress our wrongs and restore us
to our rights. Anxiety now marks
the features of almost every man and
woman in the land, and doubt and
uneasiness prevails everywhere, break
ing up the channels of trade, DESTROY
ing commerce and crushing the spirit
of enterprise. Gov. Perry dwells
much on the words principle, honor,
Justice, &c, which is all very we'll.
But it appears to us that the aboli-
ton OF slavery, now and forever, and
the endorsement of the civil rights
bill, by q convention Of the State of
South Carolina, whilst Mr.. Perry was
Provisional Governor, and in which
convention and lbs ordinances he
stood prominently forth as the lead
ing man of the State, incurred re-
sponsibility as ruinous, degrading
and dlshonorable as it would be to
adopt the reconstruction bills. That
convention entailed ruin and poverty,
not only on ourselves, but on our
children. The reconstruction bills
propose to restore us to that Union
Mr. Perry loves so we'll on the terms
of equal suffrage. Our freedmen owe
their freedom to the Convention of
the State of South Carolina, and not
to the Yankee. He has been made
legally and politically equal to Mr..
Perry or any of us; and Mr.. Perry
himself promoted and quietly sub
mitted to the usurpations of the Pre-
sident and Congress.

A scheme is projected in some of
the Southern States to found an asy-
lum for widows and orphans. 1t is
proposed to dispose of large tracts of
land, in small lots, by offering them
i'll the Northern and European mar
keSs. and appropriate ten per cent.
on the amount of all sales effected,
for the establishment of an asylum.
Generals Hood and Longstreet are
active in the matter, and 81, 100000
is said to have been subscribed in
Memphis toward the object.

The Black Crook.

'Mark Twain" humorous cor
respondent of the Aua California,
has been to see the famous spectacle
of the Black Crook in New York, and
furnishes the readers of that paper
with the following plain criticism of
the play:
I warn you that when they put
beautiful clipper-built girls on the
stage in this new fashion, with only
barely clothes enough on to be tan
talizing, it is shrewd invention of
the devil. Il lays heavier siege to
public morals than all the legitimate
model artist shows you can bring into
action.
The scenery and the legs are every
thing; the actors who do the talking
are the wretchedest sticks on the
boards. But the fairy scenes-they
fascinete TIE boys! Beautiful bare
legged girls, hanging in fower-bas-
kets; others stretched in groups on
great sea-shells: others in all possible
attitudes; girls-nothing but a will
derness Of girls-stacked up. pile on
pile, way aloft, to the dome of the
theatre, diminishing in size and
clothing, till the last row-mere chill
dren-dangle high up, from invisible
ropes, arrayed only in chemises. The
whole tableau resplendent with CO.
lumns, scrolls, and vast ornamental
work, wrought in gold, silver and
brilliant colors-all lit up with gor-
geous theatrical fires, and witnessed
through q great gauzy curtain, that
counterfeits soft silver mist! It is
the wonder of the Arabian Nights
realized.
Those girls dance in ballet, dressed
with meagrehoss that would make
a parasol blush. And they prance
around and expose themselves in a.
way that is scandalous to me. More
over, they come trooping on the stage
in -platoons and battalions, in most
princely attire, L grant you, but al-
ways with more tights in view than
anything else. They change their
clothes every fifteen minutes for four
hours, and their dresses become more
beautiful and more rascally all the
time.
Edwin Booth and the legitimate
drama still draw immense houses, but
the signs of the times convince me
that he will have to make little
change by and. by and peel some
women. Nothing else can chain the
popular taste, the way things nre
going now.

THE NASHVILLE GAZETTE
clever cotemporary of the Nashville
Gazette seems to be enjoying himself,
Notwithstanding the rather unpro-
missing prospect in Tennessee. In his
last, he says:
We understand that The nutocrat
OF Tennessee contemplates organ
lzlng o navy, to cooperate with his
land forces. Two old steamers are to
be iron-clad, for service in the. Cum
berland waters-one will cruise in the
upper Cumberland, and the other
will keepsthe defunct rebels at Fort
Donelson from the polls.

So much success has attended the
Flying Dragon, the only Chinese pa
per published in Europe, that the
proprietor has imported o font of
Chinese type. The Dragon circulates
in such ports of China, the Phillip
ines and Japan as England is allowed
intercourse with. and it is read, not
by traders alone, but by kings and
princes, for the information it brings
about European arts and machinery.
The Chinese have begun to print

The Paris Exposition is to remain
open for six months from April /.
Although it is yet scarcely in order,
the Imperial Commission having
charge of it have sold the palace in
the Champ de Mars, the roofs, walls
and similar articles, to Russian
company, who are to be given pos
session on November 1. This com
pany intend to transport the struc-
ture to Russia, and re-erect it at St.
Petersburg. '.r
The New York Herald says: The
military are not in the South to take
away or obstruct the constitutional
rights OF the people. They are there
only to preserve the peace and to see
that the reconstruction Acts of Con.
gress be not impeded in their opera
ton. There is no despotism intend.
ed in these Acts, and we advise both
the officers in command in the South
and the people not to look at them
in any other light.

For PEACE INSTEAD OF War;
The New York Nation has some SEN
sible remarks on the condition Of
affails in Europe, and the immense
preparations being made for war by
all the great powers. 1t says:
Tremendous as are the military
preparations of the great powers in
our day, there is no question that the
enormous increase which we witness
i'll the size of armies, is in reality q
fresh guarantee for the peace and
prosperity of the world. It is q
curious but instructive fact, that the
length and frequency and destruc-
tiveness of war have declined in the
ratio of the increase and effective
ness of armaments, and that when
the King of Prussia takes the field
with half n million of men. he is not
half SO formidable q foe to industry
and civilization as Francis I, or
Charles V, when he went warning
with his 80, 900 or 10000.

Trust i'm Providence.

At n mass meeting recently held in
Petersburg, Va, Captain John Lyon,
in the course of speech, made the
following remarks
'No man, who has not lived in a
slaveholding community, can appre-
ciate the sacrifice of feelings and pre-
judices, the result of birth and edu-
cation, necessary to bring a whole
community to occupy the position
which we nvow, and the purposes
which we declare tonight. We arc
not guilty of tho folly and wicked
ness of declaring that we have pre-
ferred the condition of affairs that
now exists. Our short-sighted wis
dom, so-called, would have led MS to
different results. But we believe that
there is
"a Providence that shapes our ends,
Rough hcw them as we may
'And we profess our willingness to
accept what is the result of what inf
dels call destiny, and Christians call
Providence, and will try TO exercise
craftsmanship enough to adapt our
policy to the actual condition of So
ciety, with view to its highest de-
velopment, and greatest happiness
and safety.
"Men of sense, both white and
black, hold in scorn blatant dema-
gogues, who falsely say that they
have always desired what all men
now recognize as inevitable. With
the exception of handful of earnest
and honest men in the North, whom it
has been fashionable to call enthu-
siasts and fanatics, there is and has
been no party, North or South, that
intended, or even desired, the result
which has so unexpectedly burst
upon us all. The children of Africa
have not to thank men for their free
dom and Acknowledgement. Their
gratitude and praise are due only to
the Most High. who lin the language
of the PsalmisD has brought them
Ip also cat of an horrible pit, out of
the miry clay, and set their feet upon
rock, and established their goings.
They have found by their experience
that 'it is good that man should
both hope and quietly wait for the
salvation of the Lord" And es surely
as the Good Father of us all hath
heretofore caused the wrath of man
to praise Him, so surely will He now
and hereafter restrain the remainder
of wrath, and defeat the purposes of
wicked men who seek to SOW the
seeds Of distrust, suspicion and re-
venge in the hearts of the two races. "

A WORD ABOUT THE eQUEEN's
DELIGHT."-Wo make the broad asser-
ton that the medicine called the "Queen's
Delight" as prepared by "Heinitsh," .ac-
complishes more for suffering humanity
than any other remedy now in use upon
tho face of the earth. This fact, and the
wonderful cures it performs, is corrobo-
rated by living witnesses. The theory is
this: No disease can be cured without
cleansing and purifying tho blood, which
is the fountain of life. This combination
Of alternatives and depuratives produces
just that change in tho functions of organs
as to mako q healthy action to take the
place Of disease. We hear offeverishness,
futtering about the heart, fushes, faint
ing headache, loss Of appetite, low spirits,
weakness, nervousness and general
for-norhingness-all owing to fever
and humor in the blood; and this produces
another very common disease, called dys-
pepsia, because this condition of the blood
tends to disorganizo tho organs of rliges-
ton. Get n bottle and try it. To be had
