Posr OFFIs, CoNFEDRIT X ROADS,
witch is in the Stait Nv kentucky Sept
20, I867.-Last week | was invited to 60
into Ohio to assist my brethren NV that
State The Massedonian cry reached me,
Come and help u.s." and ez the cry was
coupled with the asshooranee that shood
be provided for, l needed it. Couple Mas
sedonian cries with whisky, and | can't re-
sist EN-. | never try l knowed there
wasn't much difference atween the Dimoc
racy of Ohio and Kentucky, but wuz on
prepared for the strikin resemblance /
found. Twins is not more similar. My lst
appointment wuz in purely Dimekratic
County. 1t wuz settlement after my own
heart, and the mint my practist eye restid
onto it, my soul leaped for JOY. 1t wuz
town wich he'd bin some day the Sc . Nv
biznis, but ralerode runnin some nine
miles to one side Nv it had cut off its trade,
and the inhabitance havin nothin to do, the
better part Nv EN- went with the trade.
Naeher abhors a vacuum, and there rushed
in sich as found it difficult to live elsewhere.
The whole population hevin much leisure
fell to pitehin coppers, wich, to make the
game exitin, they pitched for drinks.
Pitching for drinks soon rendered EN- inca
pubic NV more violent exercise, and in a
year from the time the trade left EN- it wuz
the strongest and most intense Democratic
town in the State Ez they must eat som
thin, and ez the groceries coodent run per-
petooally without money, they he'd occasion
al spasms of labor. Then would their feel
ins be laseratid. Then wood they look over
to the Kentucky shore, and see thousands
Nv Jest sich men ez themselves spendin
their lives in one unendin round Nv copper
pitchin, hoss-raein and poker playin, the
niger mean while a sweatin to furnish the
means, and they wood break out into muir
| murin at the crooel fate wich cast their lot
where every man wuz forst to sweat for
hisself. AMI the cuss of labor coodn't be
filed by proxy Their proximity to Ken
tucky santalized EN-. They wood hev all
gone there Good they hev raised enuf to
buy nigger apeece, but they eoodent.
There wuz most delightful look Nv serene
repose about the place wich charmed me-
Nothiu stood uprite. The signpost Nv the
tavern he'd bin leaned agin so much that it
had contracted the same habit; the hosses,
from too rigid economy in the matter OF
oats, wuz leanin agin the side of the barns
the shutters on the groceries hung cornerin
across the winders in consequence Nv the
lower hinges bein broke; the clap-boards on
the houses all hangin by a single nail at one
end, presented any but a regular appear
anee, and The men were all either sittin !
store boxes, or leanin agin watever posses
sed snfishent strength to keep EN- up.
| | wuz enthusiastically reserved The
town wuz excited on two questions l.;
Taxation; ,, Niger Equality. The cheer
man NV the deputation wuz the most cheer
in style Nv Dimokrat he'd seen for years
His independent hair he'd pushed its way
thro the top w his hat and bristled in all
directions, biddin defiance to the world

The New York Times speaks as follows
concerning the = forthcoming I" trial Of
JEFF. DAVIS:
AN exchange paper states that JEFF
Davis is 10 be tried next month Unless
we are mistaken we have seen something Of
that sort before. His offence was commit
ted, we believe, several years since, and con-
sisted in taking up arms against the United
States, lin adhering to their enemies and
giving them aid and comfort 1t is gener-
ally supposed that his counsel have managed
to put off the trial from year to year, 80 that
all those who could be witnesses against
him may die or become superannuated; but
those who remember the facts Of the case,
land they are growing fewer in number every
year, say that this is not the easc,--that
Davis has been anxious for trial from the
beginning, but the Government has never
been ready. The rumor that he is 70 be
tried now, or ever, meets no credit. The
witnesses are dead or scattered, the pa
pers are lost, and it Is not at all certain that
either the Judge or the jury would know
Davis If they we're TO see him.

DEPESDExCY.-Ther race of mankind, would
perish, did they cease TO aid each other.
From the time the mother binds the child's
head, till the moment that some kind assistant
wipes the death damp from the brow of the
brow of the dying, we cannot exist without
mutual help. All, therefore, that need aid,
have right to ask it of their fellow mortals.
No one who has the power of granting it can
refuse it without guilt.

THERE is said to be fun in numbers, but
most people think it included principally in
NJ. |. At all events the faith of the world
is pinned rather closely on that brief, but
rather positive figure Men keep an eye on
it when seeking fortune and fame; women
after a husband and position; and people
universally when there is anything up worth
having. This is all natural enough. The
fun in life is in pocketing all you can getand
at the same time keeping other people
pockets as dry as possible. No discount on
these facts.

SENATOR WILSON, at political meeting
held on Monday evening last, at Marlboro,
Mass, after reciting the predictions he had
made at different times, and their more than
fulfilment, then stated that General Grant
would be elected President by the votes of
not less than thirty States, and would be
supported by two-thirds majority Of both
Houses Of Congress. The ever loyal white
men, the repentant rebels, aud tfe six hun
dred thousand enfranchised colored men are
to reconstruct the Southern States, and send
a majority Of Republican Senators and Rep
esentatives to Washington.
