HERNDoN BREAKS JAIL Our readers
are aware that Herndon broke Jail last
Saturday night, under cover of great
noise made by the 'icolored fraternity
who fired pistols, yelled beat drums,
very vigorously until late hour that
night. We had made arrangements, as
we fondly fancied to place Herndon's
confession before our readers, but the
party who promised to print 1t for us
failed to do so, AS 1t is evidently
mass of lies, this Confession is of no val
nc except to crafty anorbid curiosity.
Herndon was seen near MIR, Robt. Y.
Frazier's OIL Monday night. 1t is said
he was in search OF food. He is 200 great
a talker not to be caught, and this escape
together with his lying confes sion will
60 very hard with him when he is again
in custody. 1t remains to be seen what
will be done by our county magistrates
to make the Jail secure, and to prevent
further disturbances of the peace and
order OF our generally quiet little vii
iage.

as they call it, the white msns govern

leather and prunella. We owe debt of
gratitude to General Blair for his frank
ness. There need be no deception prac-
tised now, and there can be none. There
can be no other issue presented substan-
TALLY to us but that of the future pros
perity OF the country. If Seymour shall
be elected upon that platform, he stands
pledged to use the army of the United
States for the purpose of overturning the
governments that have been established
in the South by the whole people, and by
that army to place the power back again
into the hands of the rebels. They were
with them IN that convention; they have
given to him their counsel, they have
endorsed Mr.. Seymour and the conyen-
ton, and ali have endorsed General Fran
els +. Blair. know we shall be told in
the Northwest that they intend to have
the same currency for the bondholder and
the laborer. They will proclaim the tax
alton OF the bonds as the great issue upon
which they expect to get votes; but that
will also be deception. The great issue
underlying the wholecontest land we have
the solemn declaration Of their candidate
for Vice President to that effect will be
the renewal of the war to overturn the
State Governments that have just been
established under the acts of Congress.
General Blair has relieved the Repub-
lican party of a great deal of labor; has
unmasked the enemy with whom we have
to deal, and he has placed before the
country the very lssue-peace or war.
