Reasons for Reconstruction.

A writer in the Augusta Press is
reviewing, in a series Of well-writ-
ten articles, the position Of Gov.
Perry, and in opposition to his
views, From his last article, we
quote the following cogent reasons
why the people of the South should
push forward the work Of restora-
ton:
Why is it that the New York
or Boston broker can obtain all
the money he needs at six cent:
on the security Of shares in any
bubble enterprise at the North,
when our landowners. merchants
and manufacturers are refused a
dime? Why is it that the NOR
chants of two Of the largest and
most populous cities in Georgia
are compelled to ask for a re;
duction Of rents; on the ground
that they are not making expense?
Why is it that thousands Of acres
reproductive land, already planted
in corn and cotton, have been
abandoned because the owners
have been unable to procure pro
visions to feed the laborers and
beasts ofburdcn necessary to culti-
vate them and gather the crop ?
The answer is, all this is the case
on account Of the political chaos
which exists among us, the insta-
bility Of our Government, and the
suspension Of all law, as an emf
nent authority has justly defined
martial law, or the government Of
the sword. While this condition
Of affairs continues, property is
insecure, industry and enterprise,
which depend altogether for sue
cess on peace and a faithful ad-
ministration of just and stable
laws, are paralyzcd, and society is
in continual apprehension of the
disturbance and trouble which
would result from a declared anita
gomism between the white and
black races. But restore to US the
power to make Cur own laws, SC
Iect our own officers, and regulate
our own affairs; relieve US from
the arbitrary and capricious domi-
nation Of the bayonet; protect us
against the spy, the inforner and
the detective; and place us again
under the agis ofthc law, as defn-
ed and limited by the Constitution.
Give us peace and the right of
selfgovernment, and we shall at
once command whatever money
and credit we need to rebuild our
trade, commerce and industry,
and re-establish the prosperity of
the whole people. Until these are
restored, and the oppression and
instability of military rule are at
an end, it is folly to expect that
our material condition will i'm
prove. Without capital, all our
intcrests-agricultural, mercantile
and industrial-must languish and
die, and to command capital we
must command confidence"

The Petersburg Erpressindulges
in the following humorous review
Of the charms f.this modern land
Of promise:
There is Il delightful region in
South America, accessible by
steamboat, which is not only plea
SAINT to live in but affords a charm
ed prospect for all who wish to die,
as well as, to live easy, It tispecu-
liarly well suited to those of our
fellow citizens who look forward
for support to public Offices and
confscation. .....

is perennial, and the splendor and
elegance Of nature are, beyond
description; fine. The emigrant,
like the native, has only to step
ashore, 60 into the woods, and be
happy. lie rcclines with digniied
ease underneath the first cIump Of
trees. On looking up, he discovers
the bread fruit, growing, and above
that the pendant branches Of the
cocoanut. ..
The morning breeze churns the
milk in the cocoanut. the hot sun
Of the genial cline cracks the SHE'LL
the butter trickles down just as
the bread fruit expands, like pairs
OF hot English rolls, and covers
them over with a most delicious
JUNCTION. The breeze at length
shakes the buttered rolls down
into your mouth, and you eat
without effort, and enjoy yourself
without labor. 1t is good. J.

may get through with lazily in an

All sorts of fruits grow in the
greatest abundance and force them
selves into observation by their
profusion. .
Death in that country is, as we
have intimated, easy. All that is
necessary is for one to satiate him
self with yams, bread fruit, shirts,
grapes and laziness and lie down
in a jungle and 60 to sleep. When
he wakes he viii find himself in

the number Of such licenses it is
expected that due regard will be
observed to the actual occasion

censes granted annulled.
The order does not admit of
any construction extending the
privilege to apothecary shops,
ice cream saloons, eating houses,
or other places.
The civil authorities to whom
license money has been paid will
determine for themselves whether
they will refund to licenses the
whole or any part Of the money
received for licenses.
The order is operative on an

To begin with, I am an OLE Henry
Clay Whig; Of the Polk School. |

ORIGINAL LETTER OF JOHN WESLEY
Mrs. Ann Partridge, aged over eighty
years, and resident Of Union, Erie county,
Penn, has presented to Allegheny College,
Meadville, as centenary offering, an ORR
ginal letter of John Wesley, the founder
of Methodism, received by her from her
aunt, Miss Padbury, to whom it was writ
ten under the following circumstances:
The followers Of Wesley were making ef-
forts to build themselves chapel, and the
parish minister, with the help of mob,
would tear down by night what they erect
ed in day time. This lady wrote to Mr..
Wesley asking his advice in the matter,
and the following is his reply:
"LoNDoN, Oct. 20, 1857.
"My Dear Betty,-I love to see anything
that comes from you, although it be upon
& melancholy occasion. Nothing can be
done on the Court of Kings Bench till the
latter end of next week at the soonest, and
till then am trying all milder means which
may possibly avail. Ifnothing can be done
this way, we can but fight at sharps there.
But prayer and fasting are of excellent
uses; for if God be for us, who can be
against us? Possibly l shall visit you this
winter. always am, my dear Betsy,
"Yours most afectionately,
81. WESLEY"

TIE HIGHEsT FOUNTAIN IN THE WORLD.
Within thirty miles Of this city there is
fountain throwing stream of water higher
than any other on this continent-pro-
badly in the world. We allude to the one
recently completed and put in operation.
by Mr.. S. B. Hunt at his beautiful coun-
try seat, Maple Grove, in Bennington. Mr..
Hunt has tapped mountain spring about
three and half miles from his residence,
at an elevation of three hundred and
twenty-five feet, and conducts the water
through pipe six inches in diameter to q
basin about one hundred feet in diameter
and four feet and half deep. The water
may be let on through a variety of jets.
The one in use on Wednesday was plain
one and q quarter-inch nozzle, and the
height Of the column of water thrown was
l54 feet. 1t is truly magnificent sight to
see that body of water continuously rising,
or rather maintained at that height. Mr..
Hunt has expended $4,000 in the con-
struction of tho fountain.-1roy Times,

Most outrageous Attack.
poru.rAS Cn1,pruoI,SE

July s, 1857.
On Sunday the 7th instant man called
at the tavern of Mr.. William T. Davis, at
Powhatan Courthouse, and requested Mr..
Davis to furnish him with lemonade, &C.,
which conld not be done for want Of
lemons. Then entering into conversation
with Mr.. Davis about the crops, &c., he
very uDjustifably called Mr.. Davis liar,
and drew his pistol and shot him in the
breast, the ball entering just under the
left nipple and glanciug out about four or
five inches to the rear, causing painful
but not dangerous wound. Davis caught
him Immediately, and taking the pistol
from him, could easily have stamped his
brains ont on his porch floor, but would
not. Being magistrate and also jailor,
he took the rascal to Jail Immediately,
where he now remains subject to the law.
He says his name is p. FL. Farley, and
pretends to be deranged; says he has
lived in Richmond about two years, and
has been engaged in selling old iron, &C.,
to The Old Dominion Iron Works. II any
such man is known about Richmond the
newspapers will do justice to the commu-
nifty by making the information public.

OLD THAD.'s OPINION OF RAYMOND AND
BEN. BUTLER.-Old Thad. has no high opin-
ion Of Raymond and Ben. Butler. In an
swer to questions he stated that Raymond
had been the worst failure he had seen ia
Congress. He bad u pretty style OF talk
ing and certain sort Of smartness in de-
bate, but it was of the schoolboy, sophie
morical style, and could not stand an
instant nnder the test Of earnest principle.
In the midst of his most elaborate, studied.
and highly -perfumed haraugues, few
words of sound common sense would knock
him fat upon his back and leave him help
less. He made L poor show in Congress
among solid, earnest men.
Ben. Butler, according to Old Thad., is a
thorough failure rs Congressman. "At
6rst," said Mr.. Stevens, 81 had looked
upon him as man with whom it would be
dangerous to measure swords in debate.
But I soon found that he had obtained a
reputation under false pretences. He is
at once superficial, weak, and impractical.

The farmers have finished cutting their
crops of wheat, and to our satisfaction /
find that it is not all injured by the long
spell of vet weather, aswe feared it would
have been. The corn crops are mostly
backward and in the grass, but the crops
of oats are very good.
The 4tll Of July went off very quietly,
nothing having happened to spoil the good
name of our quiet village. There were
but few celebrations (of minor importance),
as the people were too busy in their do
mes,ic pursuits to go in much for frolic.
The colored people, as they have always
done, have conducted themselves with the
