The Fall Campaign,

The political canvass for the coming fall
elections, has thus far been more than ordin-
arially quiet. Now, however, that candidates
are being brought before the people, the pub
lie mind will in q measure be diverted from
the channels in which it has moved in past
months, and very likely there will be agita-
ton enough, before next November. While
we hold it to be the duty Of every man to
interest hiulselfin the political issues Of the
day, and give expression of his choice of men
through the ballot box, yet there is no neces-
sity for passionate strife, yindictive harangue,
and abusive epithet. An earnest, yet court
eous and dispassionate campaign, is better
fitted to our popular elections-better for
every one individually, and better for our
common country.

A Word of Exclamation,

Some Of the subscribers of the Telegraph no
doubt think the paper too much filled with
advertisements. 1t is our intention to con
dense the advertisements in the paper (such
as viii allow condensing)so as togivc as much
reading matter as is practicable. 1t will how
ever be borne in mind, that no county pa
per can be supported on subscription patron
age alone There is probably not paper pub
lished in the State, that would not run in 0
debt over its income every week, ifitrclied
alone on subscriptions to pay its way Adver-
tisements in the paper sometimes appear oil d,
but we publish no advertisement in the paper,
any longer than it is contracted for, or paid
for. Sometimes large blank spaces appear in
the advertising column, in which case some
readers are apt to infer, it is trick ofthe
printer to save labor; this is not so. If an ad-
yertser pay for a half or a whole column, he
exercises the right to occupy it with as few
words, ana leave as much blank as suits his
taste. Thus much Of explanation, is deemed
proper to avoid misrepresentation.

Con, Grant and the Demnoraon

The past three weeks, has been a season of
great perplexity and doubt in the democratic
ranks The movements of Gen. Grant. his
letters correspondence, and his interviews
with the President, have been watched with
eager interest, in expectancy of discovering
some evidence that he sympathized with the
policy OF the administration, and that he
would in some way be made available for
democratic uses. Every word and incident
which could be construed as favoring the Pres
idents schemes, inspired the democracy with
jubilance, while every indication of fidelity to
congressional reconstruction, was received
with dissatisfaction and encouragement
The hopes and fears of the democratic leaders
a!ternated from day to day, while the official
correspondence between Gen. Grant, johnson
and the military commanders was in progress.
Some of the lesser lights, were disposed for a
lew days to lionize Grant, but the older poll
leians' were wary and cautiously spoken.
Now that the excitement consequent upon
the removal of Stanton, Sheridan &C., has
measurably subsidized, the democracy seem to
nave settled downin the opinion, that nothing
very promising has been discovered in the con.
duet OF Gen. Grant, and that after all he is of
no great political account.

All the rumors ofintended Cabinet resigna-
tions, have been from the first merely sensa-
ttonal.None of the heads of department now in
position at Washington, are men who will leave
their places for slight causes; they will need
something more than gentle hints, or polite
invitations to retire from their convenient
quarters. They viii even bear hard pushing,
and yet profess to believe their services indis-
pensable to the salvation ofthe country Their
retirancy under the present administration
Will probably never happen, until inevitable
destiny stares them full in the face, and points
them to The door, through which all out go
ing office holders, under the displeasure of
johnson are forced to travel.

Proclamation Of Amnesty


The Washington correspondent of the n.
Y. World, under date of Sept. l, gives the
following:
The President has now under consideration
a new amnesty proclamation to rebels in the
South. Prominent Southern men, who were
known as Unionists during the war, and who
are now johnson men, nave been urging this
for some time past. They have been aided by
Democrats of the North who have influence
with Mr.. johnson. OF course, the details are
not definitely known to any person outside of
official circles. II VIII probably be submitted
to the Cabinet next week. Those interested
in the matter state that the new proclama-
ton will include Brigadier Generals. None
above Colonels are now included. They as
sert that the provisions of the proclamation
viii be very liberal, as Mr.. Johnsonis inclined
to grant nearly all they ask, except universal
net will control him, and make it more Con
sentative.

The bold aud manly protest Of Gen.

regarded with satisfaction by loyal men
Throughout the country. Ia his letter to

moyal viii only bd regarded as an effort to

as TO the method of restoring order--as a

ed opposition to the will Of the loyal masses,
believing that they have the executive With
them ?
President Jobnson's reply to this remon-
Stance Of Gen, Grant, expresses exactly the
opposite opinion saeridan's rule the Pres
dent says, mas been one Of absolute tgyroa-
ny, without reference to the principles Of
our government. or the nature of our free
institutions" This attempt to bring re-
proach upon one fthe most brave and re-
spected OF our American Generals, cannot
fail Of recciiing upon the head Of him who

an apology to justify his removal Of SheTi-

Shooking Domestic Tragedy

A Mobile paper relates the following heart
rending account of the killingIof mother by
her son through mistake:
THE family Of prominent citizen resid-
inc on St. Louis Street, and now absent on a
visit to Pensacola, had one or two days be-
fore, been disturbed by an attempt at burg
larry. The only son present on the premises
was, at the time, sick in bed, and had taken
some opium to Iull his pains. Last night,
after midnight, the mother of the family
awGIle, and sUpposing there was some one
irving to force an entrance in her room, she
slipped of her bed and entered the adjoining
room. where her son, still under the effect of
a soporifc potion, was uneasily resting, To
avoid alarming him, the tender mother gent
ly shook him by the arm, when, horrible to
relate the Unfortunate son aroused from his
heavy slumber, and before having recovered
from its effect, supposing that some robber
had entered his room and, fetching out q pls-
tol from under his pillow, twice pulled the
fatal trigger and sent the bullet through the
throat OF his beloved mother, who, in the
agonies of her death, faithful to her maternal
instinct, exclaimed, Son son! yQu dldn
mean it. God bless you'll Awakening 70
the terrible reality, the Unfortunate man rush
ed out to seize in his arms his dying mother,
and the whole family having fastened to the
room. the sanity matron repeated her words
of forgiveness aud soon expired in the midst
of her beloved family. Crazed by the deed,
the involuntary parricide rushed out of the
home. God so cruelty visited through his I'M
conscious hand, and has not been seen since.
