The largest torch-light procession
that was ever msrshalled in Cairo, ILL.,,
marched through the streets OF that city
on Saturday last. The Democrat de-
Escribes- it as something grand and sub
| lime for that burgh. Go it, brave Egyp-
tisns. We, Of the South, unable to
help ourselves, rely upon you.
-Pinchback and Yarmouth (leadiug

apply torches to the houses Of the citizens

Mr.. Henry Nathan, living near
Rome, Ga, recently whipped an insolent
negress whom he had caught stealing
fruit from his orchard. This aroused the
ire of some FIVE or six negro men, who
proceeded to his residence, armed with
guns and pistols, to redress the insult Of
Tered to their lardly race, but Mr.. n. es-
csped to town and procured their arrest.
1t is stated that the foreign population !
Of the United States are raising fund for |
the purchase of homestead for Gov. |
Henry A. Wise, in token Of their eppre- |
citation of his resistance to the proscrip- |
tion Of foreigners by the Know Nothing |
party. About thousand dollars will be |
raised in Richmond, and it is intended to |
purchase home, stock it well, and settle /
the old gentleman comfortably for the |
balance Of his days.
The New York Times (radical) is oc- |
casionally a very Jobs comforter to its
party. Listen to it I: "The Republican |
party has not half so much to fesr from
the large numbers who are openly leav-
ing its ranks as from the still greater
humber who Will go silently to the polls
snd cast a square Democratic ticket
without letting any one know how they
have voted"
The Cincinnati Gazette, (Rsdicsl,) |
tells story Of Gen. Phil. Sheridan pur-
suing poor mans wife for years, and at
one time he had an opportunity for an
assignstion with her, lone OF NebrsskS's
trigue during her husbands absence in
the mountains. u The Gdsette tells the
villsinous story, and asks its fellow Rad
icsls to sympsthize with Sheridan in his
failure to seduce another mans wife.n
Radical emisssries recently ordered
five hundred negroes to appear at GER
tain rendezvous near Macon, Ga, but
the white men OF the district, having
been apprised of the movement, placed
themselves in a condition of defense, and
the negroes prudently refrained from as
sembling. .n.
We recently published accounts of
women and children, barefoOted and
without husbands and fathers, crossing
over the mountains to Kentucky TO
escape the tyranny and oppression OF the
accursed Brownlow government. Brown
low doesn't deny the fact Of the flight
Oh the contrary, he admits it but under
takes to Rindicate his government by
slsndering the poor fugitives. he says
that the fleeing women, of whom there
have been many hundreds, have fled to
escape punishment for open oODcubinage.
The vile old hell-hOund knows that he is
8 liar and 3 caiumniator. A Governor,
who will thus slaudeT by wholesale the
women OF his OWE State, deserves 70 be
kicked all the way to the Pacific Ocean,
and then kicked into the middle of it.
The Baton Rouge -AdUocate, of Mon
day, says "fhe sickneGs thst has pre-
vailed throughout the country has been
very severe among the poor, who had no
one to help them. We are informed
that in q thinly settled portion of Liv-
ingston many deaths from sickness, sg-
gravated by want, have occurred. A
family OF six persons were found dead In
one house, and in another the father and
mother had been helpless, when visited,
for eleven days, and the little children
had subsisted during that time the best
they could. The prevalent sickness was
ordinary fever, which, remaining un-
checked, soon assumed coDgestive
form. These fevers are, however aba
ting, and the health Of the country is
becoming better"
As means Of organizing and using
tt,o -~roes of the South as political allies, !
he Radical parsy set an the Freedmen's
Bureau. 1t is q costly agency. One
years estimate OF expenses is thus stated
Commisssry stores, S47, ,500 salaries OF
clerks $1,000; stationery and printing,
S63 900; quarters and fuel, SIS, ,OOOi cloth.

The Washington Express Gays the
processes Of the postoffice fraud was as
followe: "A postmaster would make a
