Archimides, "and Twill move the world. D.

In one sense, both OF these learned pindits
were the verlest charlatans. They fnew
there was no place to rcst their lever on either
to move the world or cure disease. Afdcha-
nism was In backward state, and the medical
profession was but another name for sorcery,
and all the adjuncts OF magic filters, and
charms Of the "eyil eye" &c.
But these latter days have borne unto us
something more than even superstition and Its
crew ever dreampt Of in their maddest philoso-
ply. In these days of practical science, what
was theory Of yesterday is fact to-day, and all
the 0ld-time notions become as bubbles in tho
sun, and burst and break with every breath
we draw.
Let Archimides shoulder his lever, and we
will find resting place for it to move the
world. Let mine ancient Medicus pant and
toll no more for the drugs no 80 sorely needs

In fact, we think MAGGIEL's pills and Salve

The FIRST OF MAY AT BRANDON
was observed in manner most cred
table to the good people of that town.
The ceremonies of the dedication of
the new Masonic Hall were very i'm
posing. A procession, numbering
about one hundred of the local and
visiting fraternity, marched from the
old to the new hall, where an appropri-
ate address, sparkling with pure ma
sonic gems, was delivered by Past
Grand Master Richard Cooper. At
night there was grand Ball and Sup
per, which were well attended and
passed off most delightfully."-.
The Press Association met on
Wednesday and adjourned Thursday,
after an harmonious session-during
which many subjects of interest to
the profession were discussed and re-
duced to practical shape. AS we
shall publish the proceedings officially
tomorrow, it is unnecessary to refer
more particularly thereto at this time.

sANDFORD CONOYEIs.

Alias Charles Durham, who testified
on the trial of the assassination desper-
ADDE'S, and also before the House Ju-
dietary Committee, that JEFF. Davis,
Clement G. Clay and other rebel lead
ers, were in consultation while he was
present, on plan to assassinate Pres
ident Lincoln, was to-day sentenced to
State prison for ten years. Como
yer was convicted for perjury in testi.
flying to the above effect, his accom-
plices admitting that the evidence was
manufactured for the purpose of OBJ
tanning a reward.-Exchange.
Does not President Johnson, in the
estimation of all honorable men,
(pertinently asks the Memphis Bulle-
tiny owe Messrs. Davis and Clay, and
the other gentlemen he denounced
two years ago in public proclama-
ton, as assassins, on the testimony of
the whelp who has just been sentenc-
ed, an amende? If this was a private
affair among gentlemen, there would
and could be no difference of opinion
on the subject. Does the fact
that the slanderer happens to be the
President Of the United States, make
any difference2 We cannot see that
it does. On the contrary, we think
the duty more obligatory because of
his high office. Is the honor of the
United States, temporarily within the
keeping Of the President, of less i'm
portance than that of an individual
gentleman Is the government less
bound to honesty and good morals |
than the private citizen? May it
Islander the citizen ct pleasure, out of
vindictiveness or malice, and when |
the SANDER is disproved, refuse to do
justice to the citizens good name ?
This is not Southern question or
Northern question: is a national
question, and our fellow citizens of
the North should be equally anxious
with us of the South to wipe out the
foul stain from the national escutch-
con.

EAST MIssrssPPI.-The Meridian
Gazette thus replies to an assertion of
the Brandon Republican that east
Mississippi will vote en- masse against
the Convention: -
We are surprise to see such state
ment as the above in the Republican.
If this part of the State, and such
counties as Lauderdale, Jasper, Clarke
and Newton are considered part of
East Mississippi, the assertion of the
Republican is wholly gratuitous and
entirely misrepresents the opinions
and intentions of the people. Three
fourths of the white voters in the
counties named will vote for Con-
vention, while the number opposed to
organization is diminishing daily.
Such men as Judge Watts, Judge
Hancock, Hon. Sylvanus Evans, and,
in fact almost without exception, every
man heretofore prominent, whether
as secessionists or Union men, advise
organization and reconstruction under
the acts of Congress. In this county,
which has larger population and will
give more votes than any county in
East Mississippi, not one in twenty
will vote against Convention.

PRoGREss OF REGISTRATION IN NEW

the Registers have, to some extent,

law of Congress under which they act,
and that now persons are permitted to

There are two parties now in the
South. One of these has been crit,
cised by both of the city papers, and
held up as party led by adventures
seeking money and advancement, and
depending, for their success, exclu-
sively upon the negro vote. Their
main efforts consist in endeavoring to
convince the negroes that they have
no friends among the Southern peo-
pie, and no interest in common with
them. BY this means they hope to
succeed in creating a party of which
they shall be the only leaders and the
negroes the only voters. Concerning
the course pursued by these would-be
leaders, both the Courier and the
Democrat have several times taken oc-
casion to remark that it was danger
GUS, if not positively criminal, mas
much as it had q tendency to create
antagonism between the two great
classes of the South. 1t will subject
us to constant strife and dissenslons,
perhaps to riots and bloodshed. 1t
will put us under local tyranny, in
which men without character or prin-
ciple, men who have not a thought or
interest in common with us, will fill
every office in the city, county and
State. 1t may, and very probably
will, deprive us of even those rights
which are'yet left u.s. 1t will give us
hell on earth.
The other party is one which seeks
first the advancement of our political
and commercial interests. This party
includes large majority of the South
ern people proper, many Of the Nc rth
ern men who have become identified
with the South and are interested in
its actual prosperity, and not small
portion of the colored people. This
party being convinced that there is no
hope for the South but to pursue that
course which will most speedily restore
have resolved to accept
the condition of things which has been
forced upon us by Congress, and make
the best of it. Recognizing the great
necessity that something must be done
TO prevent our becoming mere slaves to
the oppressive domestic tyranny of
men who seek nothing but to devour
our substance, this party has put the
past behind it, and placed itself upon
he only road which affords any reas-
onable hope for tranquility and success
n the near future The road they
lave taken is not so smooth as they
,ould have wished it to be; there are
great obstacles therein; in truth, it is
lot the road which they would have
elected were there choice of roads
,iven them. But, once resolved to
move forward, they have determined
o overcome the obstacles which lie in
he only open way, though it should
ven cost pain and modification. 1t is
lot an ignoble spirit by which this
arty is prompted, but the highest
rider of patriotism. 1t is a spirit
,hich evinces the moral courage to
lake the welfare of the South para
lount to personal feelings.-Natchez
Democrat.

F. c. Clewell, q gentleman by birth ant
education, was captain in the Confederate
service At the closing of the war he work
ed plantation in Holly Springs Miss. Somt
time since he had o personal rencontrt
with negro, and killed him He was triet
by civil court and acquitted, but fearing
the military authorities he left, and on the
4th inst reached this city, stopping at the
Southern. He made friends with a gentle
man stopping or frequenting that hotel, tC
whom he impaired his history, and to whom
in fits of melancholy, he would express his
disgust with life. He also impaired to this
gentleman the fact that he was short Of
means and unable to pay the sum required
at the hotel if he remained in the city. He
was therefore persuaded to take boarding in
the house at which his friend stopped, No.
408 South Fifth street, kept by Mr. Vivian.
Night before last CIewell was more than
usually down-hearted, and his friend asked
him to go to the Varieties. This he refused,
alleging that he felt like having a chill.
When the gentleman returned from the
theatre, he found his room mate very ill.,
Drs. Wizlezams and Golding were called in,
but their efforts were Intellectual to save him.
He died at four o'clock yesterday morning.
The coroner was called upon yesterday, an
inquest was held, and a post norton exami-
nahlOn Daue. III was lOuuu thhb ue ndu
taken large amount of morphine, aud some
of the drug was found in his pocket. A bot
tie of prussic acid was also found in his
trunk unopened. Clewell had talked TO his
friend about killing himself, and showed
him farewell letter which be had written;
but the gentleman persuaded him to give
up the idea and destroy the letter. The cir
cumstauces prompted the jury to return
verdict of suicide, Deceased is known to
have mother and sister in South Carolina.
