THE GRAssHoPPERs.

Near the Vermillion we met our ami
mated friends, the grasshoppers. For
some little time we had been puZZling
why it was that the sun did not give
his customary amount of light, and
whence came the curious noise which
was above us in the air. AT last we did
discover right overhead swarms of
grasshoppers, innumerable as the To-
Gusts OF Egypt, flying over the river.
They seemed almost like flakes of
snow, driving along in "a furious wind.
Then after n time they emerged from
the woodland that skirted the bluffs,
and flew across on line with our
decks. The air swarmed with them.
They struck against our faces and
covered the hurricane deck. On the
Iowa shore they could be seen in dense
clouds. The grass over which they
had passed was stripped OF every yes
tige OF green. Far In the distance they
could be seen pursuing their destruc-
tive way. General Harney told how,
once upon time. while he was in com
mand on the plains, the sky had be-
come darkened and an immense noise
was heard. Fancying that it was the
Indians, he ordered out all his men
and had the military ready to open up
on the supposed foe.

RRPUDIATIoN.-The Round Tables
leader this week, deals with Mr.. PEN
dIeton's recent exposition of modern
Democracy after this manner:
Mr.. Pendleton, who was candidate
for Vice President at the last election,
and who was a heavy load for his ticket
to carry, is striving to rise into new
distinction by means which, we trust,
will sink him out OF sight. He is
preaching in the West repudiation OF
The national debt; not an open, simple
refusal 10 pay the debt, but mean
evasion of its obligations such as
skilIfuI rogues resort to when they
would hold fast to outward respecta-
bility.

BE PRovIDENr.-The New York Sun
gives, editorially, some good advice to
the New Yorkers, which will answer as
we'll tor the majority here In Wheeling.
1t says:
If men were as providentas ants and
the cold season, by saving up some of
the means of living that can be spared
at the present time. But as a class
they are not thus provident. Perhaps
three fourths of the families in this city
are now living closely up to their in
comes, needless of the additional eG-
pense incidental to the winter season,
and with no provision for unfortunate
contingencies. Yet every experienced
housekeeper knows that family eX-
penses are materially increased durin &
the season of cold weather. Not only
is an additional outlay required for
fuel and warm clothing, but dealers
generally take advantage of the season
by putting up the prices of many ar
ticles of consumption. A good, eco
nomical plan for housekeepers Is to
buy in considerable quantities, such
articles of necessity as can be thus pur-
chased to advantage. For example,
coal is now comparatively low in price.
1t is not likely to decline further, but,
on the contrary, may advance after the
close of canal navigation. To purchase
enough now for the winters use might,
therefore, prove to be a good invest
ment. Nearly every article OF con-
sumption that cannot be produced in
the winter season may safely be bought
in advance. r-

SOUTH CARoLINA.-A meeting CT colored cti-
zens was held in Charleston, South Carolina on the
18th inst. By invitation, Wade Hampton, W F.
Dessaussure Formerly United States Senator),
William Talley, Edward Arthur, James Gibbs and
other eminent leading men of South Carolina ad-
dressed the meeting. /; also addressed by Da-
yid Pickett and Beverly Nash, colored notables.
The sentiments expressed are highly honorable to
both sides. The colored citizens were gratified by
the spirit of political utilization with which they
have been met since the passage of the reconstruc
ton act. They promised TO urge the Congress to
repeal the clause DISTINGUISHING those leading reb
els in whom they have confidence. Good for
Charleston. The city that inaugurated the war for
the perpetuation of slavery, is the fast to accept
the situation, and acquire the dignity of citizen
ship under the direction and patronage of their
former bondsmen. Wade Hampton, the embodi-
ment of Cardinals chivary under the old regime
is the leading spirit in the harmonious workings of
the new order. He is not Wade in the balance of

the present week. He is. We believe, candidate
for the nomination by the Union Convention to the
Office of Lieutenant Governor. He has been in the
State Senate during the past two sessions of the
Legislature, and is not unknown to the people of
the State, nor unfamiliar with the duties of the no.
siton to which he aspires. He is an able eloquent
and popular gentleman who would well and truly
represent the interests of Northern California on
the State ticket. As promising ticket worthy
