The New York Nation, ultra Radical pa
per, warns the colored people of the South,
especially those Of Virginia, against the sui
cidal policy of banding themselves into par
ty exclusively against the whites, and suffer-
ing themselves s'to be kept in constant fer
ment" by few white men, who are using
them for their own profit and advantage
And it tells them to remember that whilst
this game may succeed for year or two-it
must in the end recoil upon those who are
playing it-for, says the Nation, ''there is
scarcely State, except South Carolina,
which can be controlled by the colored vote
alone for more than two or three years.
Certainly Virginia is not one of that class
The white voters will constitute majority
whenever they choose to act together; and
they will probably increase far more rapidly
than the others. immigration will soon
flow in that direction; and this, of course,
will be exclusively white, and in great part
unfriendly to the colored people" This is
the warning not Of "rebels'' or "secesh, y
but Of warm devoted friend to the Radical
party, and the power Of the colored race

The Mccormick Reaper.

PARIS, August 1s.-Mr. Mccormick,
having accepted an invitation from the En-
peror Napoleon to give a private exhibition
of the working Of his reaping machine, trial
was made last week on the Imperial farm
near Chalons, at which his Majesty the En-
pcror was present, accompanied by Marshal
Neil, General Lebouf and NJ. Tiperand, Di-
rector General of the Imperial agricultural
estates. The trial was complete success,
and gave so much satisfaction to the Empe-
ror that he Immediately gave orders for the
purchased of three of the machines for use
on his private farms, and earnestly expressed
the intention Of encouraging the adoption Of
the invention throughout France on account
of its labor-saving properties, and said that
he would set the the example by putting it
into operation on all the Imperial FARMS
Such distinguished attentions as this have
been shown to no other foreign exhibitor,
and it is considered certain that to Mr. Nc
Cormick will be awarded the highest honor
of the Exposition

The National Intell,yemcer, of Saturday,
says that some months since the President,
for purposes of economy and in consistence
with law and the policy Of the government
ordered the mastering out from the service Of
all volunteer officers on duty in the country
Their places were to be filled by regular Off
GERS. It is now found that the order has not
been obeyed. Many Of the former officers
are still retained, whose principal business,
practically, has been Of late to circulate Rad
ical electioneering documents, establish ne
gro leagues, and perform various other du-
ties of partisan political character. The cor
rection Of the evil will soon be enforced.

Nor CONVENTION. Springfield MAS

vcntion in fact. but a disorderly mob Of Rich
n'ond negroes. led by Hunnicutt and Hawk

State Convention, in which the whites and
blacks shall be represented by equal delega-
tions, and white men shall be allowed to
speak and vote. The new convention will

No FURTHER DIsFRANcH1sEMENr TO BE
FEARED.-The Danville Register calls atten-
ton to one Of the provisions Of the recon-
struction acts which had been lost sight Of
namely, the one which requires that the con-
stitutions to be adopted by the several States
"shall provide that the elective franchise
shall be enjoyed by all such persons as have
the qualifications herein stated for election Of
delegates" &c.
Some Of the southern States will, it is like
ly, have reason to thank Congress for this
provision which, however, was inserted,
not for the protection of the Whites, but to
secure the right Of suffrage to the negroes.

FEMALE AND NEGRO SUFFRAGE-The
Michigan convention, after voting, 20 to &c
in committee, some time since, to adopt fe-
male suffrage, this week rejected the propo-
sition by very large vote, and refused even
to submit the question to the people as sep
arate proposition. Negro suffrage is crowd
ed into the body of the constitution, as is
proposed in the State of New York, and it
was to accomplish this result, we are now
told, that the Michigan State Convention
was ordered.

TRUTH FROM UNION SHRIEKER. Flake,
of the Galveston Bulletin, notorious Radi-
cal, says: "We may just as well state the
truth at once. Whatever rights or privile-
ges have been bestowed on the freedmen by
the North have been given of necessity. 1t
is great mistake to suppose that there is
any superfuity of love for colored men in
the bosoms of Northern people. There is a
hatred of rebellion, but no more love for the
negro than can be conveiently enjoyed. The
lines of distinction between the races are
deeper, broader and more indelible in Qua
ker Pennsylvania than in Mississippi or Tex
as. 1t would not be strange if, some time
in the far distant future, the negro would be
forced to appeal to the South against North
ern prejudice"

THE DISTANCE TO SAN Francisco OVER
LAND.-The distance from Philadelphia to
San Francisco, by way of Chicago, is three
thousand three hundred miles. If train
should run at the rate Of twenty miles per
hour, including stoppages-which is perhaps
the average rate on railroads in this country
it would require little less than seven
days to accomplish the distance. AS for
grades, the traveller will ascend from the level
of tidewater at Baltimore or San Francisco
to height of eight thousand two hundred
and forty-two feet, or over mile and half,
at Evans's Pass.

THE SUBSCRIBERS RESPECTFULLY
INVITE THE ATTENTION OF
Dealers, Country Merchants, Farmers,
AND ALL INTERESTED IN THE MANU-
FACTURE OF CIDER,
To the superior merits of the aforementioned
Machine. 1t possesses great advantages over the
old style Mills now in use, and needs only a trial
to satisfy any one that it will perform all that it
is recommended to do.
The following are some of its principal fea-
lures:
lst It has Rotary Iron Knife Cylinder, which
works into stationary row of cast teeth in the
side of the Hopper, by which Apples are cut into
fine pieces.
End. 1t has two Crushing Rollers with angular
flutes, which receives the cut Apples from the
Cutting Knife Cylinder, and by which they are
effectually crushed to pomace.
The cutting and crushing process in this Mill
is its great point ofexceence over all other Mills
that only CRATE the Apples.
3rd. 1t will do more work in given time with
less power than any other Mill now in use grind
ing finer and more uniformly.
4th 1t is a Wine as well as Cider Mill, and
in fact the only one we know of that will prop
erly grind Grapes without breaking the seeds.
9Th. For simplicity, compactness, strength
economy of power and quality of work per-
formed, it CHALLENGES CoMPARlsoN.
1t is at once the Machine" so greatly needed
and should be owned by every Farmer, Gardner
and Fruit Grower in the country.
We have sold several thousands of these Ma
chimes during the last three years, all of which
have given entire satisfaction to the purchasers.
We make two sizes of the above style Mill. The
large size is intended to be run either by hand or
horse power, and is of large capacity. The small
size is for hand power, and is suitable for those
who only make moderate quantity Of Cider or
Wine. This size however, can be run by power
and when run to its full capacity, will make a
large quantity of Cider, per day.
In the event Of our having good Apple crop
this season, which we have every hope that we
WILL as the prospect is at this time very hatter-
ing we shall make every effort in our power to
fill all orders we may favored with. But early
orders will be more sure of being supplied

The question of Universal Suffrage is COM
ing home to the Northern people. It is be-
ing agitated at all points. At Reading
Pennsylvania, on the 18th, the Equal Rights
League held a convention in which they were
enthusiastic over the idea of the right Of
franchise being vested in the colored men of
that State in very short time. A commit
tee was also appointed to visit Congress and
press the extension Of the franchise bill to
every State in the Union. There will be
squirming in the Northern States on this
subject, splits and divisions Of parties in
consequence, but the ''chickens will come
home to roost" We are trying the expert
ment here and can see no reason why it
should not be tried there also. Roll on the
ball say we and let the medicine work.

GEN. PopE's VIEWS -Gen. Pope is for
another turn of the screw. He is for erize
or something Of that sort! He has addressed
a letter to Gen. Grant, in which he encloses
paper containing speech made by Hon
b. H. Hill, late Senator in the Confeder-
ate Congress, He was pardoned some weeks
ago. and Gen. Pope says that he being a
representative man, this speech shows the
hopelessness Of any satisfactory reconstruc-
ton while such men retain influence. "Gen.
Pope thinks they should be silenced, and
says it is better that the battle should be
fought now Congress did we'll by disfran-
chising the leaders, but Gen. Pope thinks it
would have been better to have banished
them, and he is opposed to relieving the dis
franchised classes of their disabilities. He
says it is his duty to state that, in his judge
ment, the condition Of affairs in the Southern
States even should reconstruction be salts
factorily accomplished, will Of necessity, be
a reproduction in more or less modified de-
gree, Of what now exists in Tennessee, UNI
less some measures are adopted to free the
country Of the turbulent and disloyal leaders
of the reactionary party"
