Three-quarters of an hour after the time for meet

hundred persons present and the rain was falling
in torrents Mr.. CONFESS in his speech reviewed
the causes Of the late war. He denounced
Cowan, Dixon, Doontle and other Senators and
Representatives as traitors TO their country and
to their party, Notwithstanding that Fessenden
was on the platform. He was especially severe on
the democracy, all Of whom he denounced as rebels
and responsible for the late war. He declared that
Vallandigham was traitor who should have been
hung, but he was better than Seymour, Blair and
other leaders Of the democracy.

THE WEATHER AND THE CRops.-
We have had remarkable weather
since our last issue. On Wednesday
the 10th, the previous warm weather
culminated in thunder storm, which
resulted in a sudden fall Of the ther-
mometer on Wednesday night, and
on Thursday it was cold enough for
winter apparel. the thermometer fall
ing as low as Sc degrees. The wind
blew stify from the North and North
east, and for two or three days we
have had very heavy tides which have
done some damage to the rice crops
in breaking banks, overaowing fields,
&C., and this has been the more con-
tributed to by freshet on the Pee
Dee. We trust no very material dam
age has been sustained, for our plant
ers have been somewhat cheered by
their prospects, which are decidedly
better for the rmall area of land
planted. Georgeto,rn Times.

the South not for h,i her ilrebeiiioInl,l

the South not for her s'rebellion, |"
but for her contumelious rejection Of
radical approaches since the war.
There is no party in the North, nor
any part Of any party, which secretly
desires to see the whites of the South
ruled by negroes and the Southern
States made negro provinces. Far
less do any avow it. In the long run
'blood is thicker than water" even
among the most unprincipled men of
the white race.
Nothing is clearer, says the Rich
mond Enquirer and Eraminer, in the
future, than the fact that the negro
will be cast aside by the radicals as
soon as he has served their purposes
in the present contest. And it is Il
safe prediction that the negro will
have no more implacable enemies
than those who now profess to be
their peculiar friends, Just so soon as
these professions are no longer pro-
fitable. If it were necessary to sus-
tain this opinion, which is based on
general principles, by specific proofs,
nothing is easier than to point to the
course of the radicals in the Georgia
Legislature, and even the conduct of
the radical Central Committee" in
tho city of Richmond.

Most of the figures in the paint
ings which adorn the Capitol at
Washington, are said to be portraits
OF abandoned Treasury girls" what
ever they are; and the angels which
surround the image of Washington
to be accurate copies of the charms
OF some of the pretty "waiter girls"
who lately fourished in his namesako
city. What can be expected, asks
the New Orleans Times, of Govern
ment which thus prostitutes art and
honesty, and is shameless enough to
stamp the record of its crimes upon
the walls of the rotunda Of the na-
tional Capitol? If not now, certain
ly at no very distant day, tho con-
quering enemy which the radical
party will be forced to encounter,
will prove to be the thorough and
universal disgust its outraGes upon
society will have inspired. The same
licentiousness which heralded the
downfall of Caligula and Nero can be
plainly traced in the history of the
past four years at Washington.
