The following We copy to show the reliability OF
Northern reports Of Southern events:
INFAMOUS sLANpERs.-There Was on our right on
the night OF the panic at the Keley's meeting, an
individual represented to us as special reporter
for the New York Herald. As far as We can re-
member him, he was in the prime Of manhood,
above the middle size, stout and square built
When the panic commenced, and m ,vement
was made by the crowd to part in the centre, this
individual IN his terror and fear, fell on bis belly
and sneaked under the speakers table, there dis
putting the small protecting space with the speaker
himself and certain other prominent ohcers OF the
meeting.
how and when that individual crawled out on his
Knees and hands, we cannot tell, as other equally
amusing scenes were then engaging Our attention.
can affirm that he tells willfu falsehood when he
says no say anything but the feet OF tho table un-
der whicl he was hiding.
And yet that individual who had been treated by
the Mobile press with all possible courtesy, TO
whom Southern editors had opened their sanctum;
that lndIvidu !, devoid OF the least particle OF
manhood, did not blush when recovering from bis
foars, to send the following infamous ISLANDERS as
the report OF tho affair, il he had had the cour-
age to stand up and look at it.

the following editorial article We find in the
Times, prefacing the order Of General SwAYNE es-
tablishing martial law in Mobile:
ORDER AT LAsr.-We greet with thankfulness
the order hereafter published and which is ut last
the Inauguration of the reign Of Peace.
We have for months past said, that when revo-
utions have reached the military period, they are
on the eve of subsiding into the normal condition
of society, and We have sincerely prayed for the
prompt accomplishment OF those immutable rules.
The order Just issued by Col Shepherd, Post
Commander, after due consultation with his
superior officer, will be greeted by our citizens
with Joy as being the commencement Of the end"
of our civil troubles.
It matters little, for tho present, how much OF
freedom we may, or may not O.. c..joy-sooiety is at
least free from violence; life is secure, property is
safe, and it ia a great-a giant step towards peace
and prosperity.
Gen. Swayne. He has dealt with the great ques-
ton before linn in fair liberal and noble spiri.;
he has not sought to exhlune q past full OF ram
cors, he las not listened to the poisonous advices
of aeitators on either side; but, like statesman
and soldier, he has sternly seized on the future
and provided for all poss BILE emergencies.
The result of his invest cations clearly proves
that the commander and officers of the garrison
have not been biased in their report and that they
have represented the state Of public feeling with
the fairness, truth and independence Of gentlemen
as well as soldiers.

ATTENDING POLITICAL MEETNas.-H the right

ty-nine cases out of q hundred such is not the
fact, and those who in the effort to make use OF
this great right are neglecting their business do
positive injury to themselves and the community
