SPREAD OF TIE REPUBLICAN
PARTY IN THE SOUTHERN
STATES

The Jackson. Mississippi Clarion for
April II has the following interesting re-
marks upon the spread of the Republican
party In different southern states:
The fact is too manifest to be denied
and too important TO be iisregarded, that
the Republican party is rapidly extending
its ramifcations throughout the southern
states. In all of these states initial move
ments, more or less formidable, are on foot
for forming a compact party to cooperate
with that organization. Ii is a part of the
matured scheme of the leaders OF that party
to maintain its ascendency and they have
seized the opportunity afforded By the intro
duction of the new clause into the elective
franchise.
''In Virginia we find no prominent person
connected with the movement except Bolts,
who belongs to the past age of politics and
has outlived his time but primary meetings
are being held with a view to state conven-
ton which viii bring the organization into
full aud active existence. In North Caroll-
ma the movement is under more formidable
and more imposing leadership. Ii IS headed
by Holden, of the Standard, late provision
al governor by appointment OF President
johnson Pool formerly wing candidate
for governor, and others of scarcely less
note They have held a convention IN ha-
leigh. in which nearly all of the counties in
the state were represented by an equal num-
Der of white and black delegates The or
ranization took the name of Republican,
and placed itself in line with the northern
radicals
In South Carolina no decisive action of
this kind has been had, beyond the assem-
bling of meeting in Charleston, at the in
stance of radical emissaries. But General
Sickles, the commander Of the district, has
recently delivered an address to the freed.
men, Astounding with wholesome advice and
patriotic views, which we trust will have a
potent influence in shaping their course.
This speech, together with the timely adj
dresses of General Hampton and other prq-
dent and discreet statesmen, will undoubted-
ly stay, If il does not wholly prevent the
progress Of the movement.
a meeting, represented 10 be large and
enthusiastic. apparently tending in the same
direction, has been held at Savannah, Geor-
gia. In this meeting Tx JProTlslonail 6oy-
ernor johnson bore leading part
sIn Alabama the movement Is more Tor
midable. 1t is engineered by such unseru'
pulous and designing men as Nick DAVIS,
Humphries and Joe Bradley Meetings
have been held in Huntsville, Selma, Mont
gomery, and other important points La
these assemblies we have been surprised tC

THE NEWSPAPER POWER.

The Press is the motive power that moves
the world. Its influence is beyond dispute,
nd its agency Is accepted by ALL The fol-
lowing very able article OH this subject we
copy entire from one of our exchanges
''Hhe press is an educational force of won
derful potency The humble and unpre-
tending newspaper that comes every week
into a dwelling, contributes lmperceptibly
but certainly to the intellectual growth of
all the people therein Indeed 1t is not
difficult, in the obscurer walks of life to de-
tect what kind of newspapersa q man regu-
larly reads by the opinions he draws, and the
method by which he states and defends
them. Some men who pass for more than
ordinarily intelligent and thoughtful know
very little except what they have learned
from the newspapers. Nsy, lot any one sit
down and deliberately pass in review his
stock of knowledge, accurately discriminate
what he is indebted to The newspapers for,
and what he has acquired through other
sources, and he viii be surprised to find how
large are his obligations to the public jour
mails. An uncommonly shTewd observer of
men, and one personally acquainted with
most of the eminent men OF his day, re-
marked that some Of the most conspicuous
among them, radiant with genius and all
other qualities requisite to constitute great
leaders, were mainly newspaper men; that
is, they relied+hrOughout long and brilliant
careers chiefly upon newspapers for facts
suggestive of ideas, and largely for the dis
cussions whereby the real and apparent were
separated from each other.
1T may be said, moreover, that newspa
pers manufacture more great men than are
made by any other process Il is a matter
of notoriety that very few public men, upon
deliberate hearing and actual review, bear
any fair proportion to the reputation they
enjoy. Many men for whom nature has
done better, and art less, have a colossal
fame, which will not bear to be examined
too closely. In these cases the difference be-
tween the real and the imaginary is the pro-
duct Of newspaper iaudation. The public
may not feel under obligations to the press
in this matter, but the fortunate individuals
who reach high positions through this ex-
penditure if in it have abundant reason to
prove that tic aelcspdpef is poacey.

FLOWERS

Who would wish to live without hoYers2
Where would the poet fly for his images of
beauty If they were to perish forever? Are
they not the emblems of loveliness and in
nocence-the living types of all that is pleas
ing and graceful We compare younE lips
to the rose, and the white brow to the radi-
ant lilly the winning eye gathers its glo,-
from the violet, and sweet voice is ike a
breeze kissing its way through flowers
We hang delicate blossoms on the siiken
ringlets of the young bride, and strew her
path with the fragrant bells when she leaves
the church. We place them around the
marble face Of the dead IN the narrow coffin,
and they become symbols of our affections
pleasures remembered and hopes faded,
wishes flown, scenes cherished, the more
that they can never return. Still we look
to the fal-oH spring in other valleys-to the
eternal summer beyond the grave, when the
flowers which faded shall again bloom in
starry fields where no rude winter can IN
trude. They come upon us in spring like
the recollectioHs of dream, which hovered
above as in sleep, peopled with shadowy
beauties and purple delights fancy broid-
ered Sweet flowers that bring before our
eyes scenes of fchildhOod-faces remembered
in youth, when Love was a stranger to it
self The messy bank by the wayside,
where we so often sat for hours drinking in
the beauties of the primToses with our eyes
the sheltered glen, darkly green, filed
with the perfume of Violets that shone in
their intense blue like another sky spread
upon the earth-the laughter Of merry
notes.-the sweet song of the maiden-the
downcast eye, the spreading blush, the kiss,
ashamed of its own sound-are all brought
back to memory by flower.

GARIBALDl ON PoPIsH PRIESTS.

We, says the London 4dUerttser. have
been fayoured with copy of letter which
Ganbaldl has addressed to the Ladies Asso-
clatlon at Genoa, relative to the power and
disposition for evil ofthe Popish priesthood.
The following IS translation of this impor-
tart though brief communication:
L0dies.-Io hbeTate woman from super
stitlon, and to release her from the clutches
OF the priest, is now the question of life or
OF death to Italy, and in this manner only
can be forked out the true deliverance
Of country. Priest! But do you not see
him imbedded in TIE heart Of this miserable
earth and IN the same manner as the gnaw-
ing cancer in the human form, feeding upon
IT'S miseries, and every thing which is most
injurious and disgusting, and calculated to
ruin his brother man? Many will tell you
that there are good priests. But priest,
to become good, must change the adverse
livery that he wears That livery, is il not
the livery of the promoters of brigandage in
more than the half of Italy? Has It not
marched as vanguard before every stran-
ger that invaded our country Those who
endeayor to rctard our progress make dis
tinction between the temporal power, which
should be combatted, and the spiritual pow
er, which they tell as should be respected.

that come? From Antonelli, Schiavone, or
Croeco? Spiritual, indeed! Aud are these

SENSIBLE ADVICE.

Some one. who knows the world. - or else

W hen you see young man always employ

THE HOT SPRINGS OF CALIFoR-
MA.


The geysers are boiling springs, situated
n a desolate cash made in the lower part
of one of these mountain valleys. They COW
er only few acres, and are in themselves
rather curious than attractive. At hun
dred points you find hot steam, kissing or
sizzling out of little holes of water, the lar
gest half dozen feet over, the smallest not
bigger than child S teapot A few ofthem
make noise like the painting of a steamboat
or locomotive But the sight and sound of
the geysers are very much below the usual
description. On the other hand, the medi-
cinal value of the springs seem to be far be-
yond the ordinary estimate. Here are found
at all temperatures, from two hundred and
twelve to one hundred degrees, springs con-
tanning iron, sulphur, magnesla, soda, alum,
epson salts in astonishing abundance and
these in all possible combinations, and in all
possible independence Of each other 1t
would seem as if nature had her great
apothccary shop in the very bank, out Of
which the geyseTs flow, in monstrous reser-
we'd stores of soda, sulphur, alum, iron, mag
nesia, ETC., all in different beds. Over these
beds triekle pure streams ofeold water, (the
subdivision of considerable stream enter
ing the gorge at its upper end, land as they
pass over some, and skip others OF these
beds, they come out saturated with different
acids and alkalies, in different combinations
and at different temperatures, the heat be-
ing. | supposed, the result of chemical ac-
ton. They issue here, black as ink; there,
milky white, and of all shades between;
while the little basins from which the gas
issues and the water bubbles are incrusted
with CRYSTALS of verdigris. epson salts, alum
aud sulphur. Tic soil IS very hot to the
feet.

POWERFUL MICROSCOPE.


4 Foreign journal says 1t is not many
months since one Of the most eminent of
living microscopists expressed his convic-
ton that in the production of object glasses
with a one-twenty-ffth Of an inch focus,
the microscope had reached its utmost at
tainable limit Of perfection. He added that
1T appears impossible to separate or define
lines more numerous than ninety thousand
in an inch, on account either Of the decom-
position OF light, or some other cause. 1t
therefore seems beyond our power ever to
discover more of the ultimate composition
of bodies by means Of the microscope. 1t
is always foolish to use such thus far and
no father language IN reference to any de-
partment of scientific research; but II Is not
often that its fallacIopsness has been demon
stration within so short period as in the
present case. The above extract is taken
from a journal dated December 10, 1864
and yet already the one thing which MI.
croscopists are now talking about is an OBJ
iect- glass with one-fftieth Of an inch focus.
recently made by Messrs. Powell and Lea
land. which was described to the Royal
Society by DR. Lionel Beale the other day,
and was exhibited at the annual courerSa-
zi0Ec of chat Society a short time since. -
This object glass possesses double the pow
or OF the one which we were SO lately told,
and by so great an authority, was the most
powerful we must ever except to possess,
and defines with wonderful distinetness par
ticles which the latter cannot render visible
at all. 1t magnifes three thousand dame
ters, with the low eye piece, or with num-
Der five eye piece, fifteen Thousand diane
ters-that is to say, in popular parlance, one
thousand five hundred and seventy-tive
millions of times 1t must immensely in
crease our knowledge of the lower organisms,
and may even aid our researches into the ul-
innate constitution Of matter. And who
shall say that even its powers may not be ex-
aaeded in time

A REAL "DEyIL-FIsH.,
victor Hugo,s Narrative Matched.

Readers of NJ. Victor Hugo ''Toilers Of
the Sea win remember the terrible narra-
tive Of the fisherman Gilliatt's encounter
with the octopus or sea devil, who winds his
horrible suckers round his victim, and
gradually draws away his life's blood. The
poet novelist has been accused Of exaggera-
ton in this incident, but according TO Mr.
Lord. an English traveller who has just
published in London a book about British
Columbia aud the Pacific coast, the sea
devils of the North Pacific even outdo the
terrors of the Channel Island species Mr..

proportions he attains in the snug bays aud
long inland canals along the east side Of
Vancouver Island, as wen as on the main
