The work accomplished by the Pacific
railroad in crossing the Sierras is one of
the marvels of the world in engineering
skill. The road makes a steady ascent
for ninety miles from Sacramento to
Cisco, its present terminus, where it
reaches an altitude Of 59ll feet; when
it crosses the summit it will be 7042
feet above the level of the sea. During
this ascent it crosses enormous ravines
or trestle-work, winding in sharp curves
around the mountain side, where you

feet below, or through long noun.

RAJ The more ultra Radicals, who
designed elevating the negro to power
with the expectation of monopolizing-
his influence for their own preferment,
have evidently reckoned without their
host The smaller fishes of the party
who have flocked to the South in schools
since the war, may have their humber
ambitions satisfied in the possession, for
time, of local Offices and county or
even State authority; but the attempt
which Radicalism has put forth to sue
cessfully introduce the negro into
national politics has met with most
signal failure. The popular revulsion
to the blacks in Ohio, Pennsylvania,
and wherever the question of their eleva'
ton TO power has been submitted to the
people of the North, has placed this
matter beyond question or cavil.
However potent negro influence and
negro aid may prove in the furtherance
of Radical ends in the South, the fact
is now well established that in the North
the claims Of the race to equality, social
and political, cannot be other than
burden and an element of weak
ness and disintegration to any party
which may espouse and advocate them.
What course, then, remains for Radical
ism to pursue as a national party? 1t
is evident that in becoming the cham
pion of Africa in eleven States where
the negro vote is really worth securing,
the party has to forfeit the support and
co operation of the twenty five remain
ing States, in which the celored vote is
insignificant. Mr. Stevens,
who may be regarded perhaps as the
leader of the ultra wing of the Radical
party, has asserted that the rights of the |
black man must be maintained at all |
hazards, as well in those communities
where he is numerically but a drop in
the political bucket as in those
other communities where he is
an element of strength and con-
sequence. Should the ultra wing Of
the Radical organization adopt this
principle, as enunciated by Mr.. Stevens,
the political problem at once resolves
itself into a simple proposition. While |
the negro party may secure the
entire South as it has Tennessee,
it will sacrifice the entire North
as it has already California, Pennsylva-
MIA and Ohio. Backed by the blacks in
eleven States, it will array itself against
the whites in the remaining twenty five,
thus giving to Conservatism a majority |
in both branches Of the forty first Con. |
gress, and the next Presidency. But,
can Radiealism, as national party, af-
ford to follow out the Stevens plan 2 Will
it not sooner prefer to relinguish its hold
upon the negro South, with the posi-
bility ofretaining the whites of the North,
and warding of a disruption which would |
cost it its organization and its political
strength and existence. In either event
we believe the ultimate deliversnce of
the South to be secured. The dominant
party has either to change its course or
perish in its persistence.

I6r 1t is remarkable fact in the re-
cent Northern elections that the great
victories achieved have been the sponta-
neous movement of the people, unusually
without lead il the press or representa-
tive men. There is stern and solemn
resolve expressed for the white mans
government, which no lead can over
throw in this country. In all this, the
ordinary party machinery has, in many
cases, been wanting, and in many places,
efficient leaders and popular issues. An
underlined sense of the right, overwhelm-
ing the popular mind, is outspoken be-
cause its might and force could not be
resisted, and men were impelled by forces
which they were incapable of resisting,
as we'll as but imperfectly conscious Of
the existence. The opposite and radical
power had full rope, and exerted all its
ingenuity, talent, cunning and sophistry,
while the conservative element was
comparatively unrepresented and even
underlined. But the inner sense of the
right prevailed, and the people failed to
see what the Radical poetry proved.
They put away the dark cloud from their
b presence, and declared, in the spirit of
their fathers, that "the people " Of the
United States are white, and that neither
the Indian or Ethiopian shall rule Ameri-
ca, but white men and "the people" only.
In these elections they have re-declared
the Constitution on this subject And
this because consciousness and sense
of the reasons which induced and the
grea. principles which underlie the Con-
stitution are as inherent in the very ma
ture Of man as the rights inalienable
which it protects.
The Radicals at the North are now
pressed to the wall by a weight which
they cannot resist, and from which they
can never escape. Heavy taxation, a
tremendous and steadily increasing ma
tional debt, and wasteful, shoddy ex
travagance, Encouragement and dis
honesty in the control of public affairs
are hard arguments to meet While thu
markets for Western products are cur
tailed, and the means of production an'
payment are reduced in every quarter
the laborer also cries that the wages ar
ground down; and the Radicals ar
pressed with the necessity of modifyinl
the revenue laws so as to diminish thei
weight to the tax payer, while at tn
same time a much larger amount Q
revenue is needed to sustain credit an

PETERsBURGH, IND, July i, 1867.
Editors Journal:
Yesterday We were to have a grand
picnic and celebration at this place,
but the rain came down almost in tor
rents in the forenoon. Attwo O'Clock,
the rain having ceased, we repaired
to the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church, which was filled to overflow
ing.
The Declaration of independence
was read by Mr.. j. H. Miller, of this
place, and we felt good over it to think
that we are fast returning to that an
cient landmark that :" all men are
created free and equal. that they are
endowed by their Creator with Ger
tain ~inalienable rights life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
Maj. Henry NJ. Scott, late of Indi-
annapolis, but now of our place, deliv-
cred a short but stirring Grafton,
which had the true metal, and it took
no Solomon to see that the Major was
intensely loyal, and in truth, he could
be no other way, for he has faithfully
served his country in the field, and
of course cannot forget the party that
stood by the interest of the army.
Judge Baker, Of Vincennes, being
called upon. responded in a very
pleasant little speech, but it was
thought the Judge INDUCED a little
in politics, not enough. however, to
spoil the good humor of his speech.
At night a concert and supper were
given by the Petersburgh Brass Band.
The hall was crowded to overlooking,
and every one seemed determined to
make up in enjoyment for what they
lost in the morning.
Various toasts were proposed and
responded to, but as your unworthy
correspondent was on the committee.

they were good; however, I will give

the first the founder, the second the
saviour of his country"

As it regards business, particularly

degree during the war, it is now re-

itself upon those most interested in

ment of trade, I am told. is improving,

In two years from that time there had

hundred thousand dollars worth, where
it took the lead of all the cough remedies

THE WHITE PINE COMPOUND.
alt was early in the spring of 80 that this
compound was originated. A member of
my family was afflicted with an irritation
of the throat, attended with a disagreeabie
cough. L had for some months previous
thought that a preparatio l having for its
basis the inside bark of White Pine might
be so compounded as to be very useful in
diseases OF the Throat and Lungs. To test
the value of it in the case alluded to, /
compounded SINAI quantity OF the medi-
cine that l had been planning, and gave 1T
in t~easpoonful doses. The result was ex-
ceedingly gratifying. Within two days,
the irritation of tue throat was removed,
the cough subsidized, and a speedy cure wa
effected.
b o was written by DIR. Pollard il
1860. Since then, as in Manchester, tn
White Pine Compound has taken the leas
of all cough remedies, as well as prepars
tionsf for the cure OF kidney difficulties, l.
every city, town, village, and hamle.
throughout the New England States.
This remedy is as safe and pleasant TO
take as it is e~ffectual.
