The Rebels Armed.

If there is any truth in the prophet lines
of Campbell that coming events cast their
shadows BEFORE" another resort to arms in
the rebel States is close at hand. Every re-
port from that quarter brings the same intel
ligence of the old armies of the rebels being
organized, armed and drilling, for the pur-
pose, they boldly and invariably allege, OF
multiplying the reconstruction laws of Con-
gress, overturning the State governments
established under them, and of exterminat-
ing the Unionists and freedmen of those
States, or reducing the latter to a state of
subsection, which will constitute slavery all
but in name. The precursor of universal
revolt of the old rebel element, is borne to
our ears from that quarter, in massacres and
murders, perpetrated in all parts of that land
accused by the blight and demon of sa-
very.
Last week we had the heart sickening de-
tails Of the Camilla massacre, and this week
another equally as savage, and more bloody
and disastrous in the loss of human life, is
reported at Opelousas, in Louisiana, where
one hundred persons were killed and fifty
wounded by armed rebels, and the Progress,
Republican paper, was totally destroyed,
and its French editor supposed to be among
the murdered. An account of a similar out
rage, at Shreveport, is published, where fif
teen Republicans and but four rebels were
killed.
There are four hundred thousand Kuklux
reported in the South fully organized, drill
ed and armed. In New Orleans, there are
two fine regiments of infantry, one called
the Seymour Knights, the other the Blair
Guards, who parade the streets with all the
precision of old troops, which they are, and
they are commanded by their old COM
mander, ex-rebel General Harry Hayes
Altogether, there are sixteen thousand men
in that city, similarly organized and armed,
and ready for any work their leaders NAV
order them to perform. Everything indi-
Gates thorough organization and armine
for a renewal of the conflict which they
failed to make good, owing to the defeats
and disasters inflicted upon them by General
Grant and the Union arms The election of
Seymour and Blair is the signal these Sc
cretly organized and armed troops await to
unfurl the stars and bars, and again declare
renewal of the contest for the "lost
cause"
Nothing under heaven can defeat this pro.
gramme which the rebel chiefs have mapped
out, but the election of Grant and Colfax
and the changes from the so called Demo-
cratic party of thinking men who have acted
as prominent and leading men in that party,
which are announced in the Republican pa,
pers daily, show that those men who value
peace and prosperity above party, are NOV
ing to the accomplishment of that object.

DEMOCRATIC FRAUDS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
The developments making in Philadelphia
show not only that tho Democrats are attempting
frauds upon vast scale, in order to carry Penn
sylvanis in The approaching election, hxt also
that in tue consumaticn of those ftstrls they ere
receiving the aid and connivancs of the Demo-
cratic Judges ayid the Democratic officials of the
Supreme Court. the highest judsAturs of tho
State. This Court first opened ihe door for the
commission of frauds by ovsrthrowipG, upon
mere technical grounds and by party majority,
the wise and just Registration law passed BY the
Legislature. Not contsut with that achieve
ment, the Court has engaged in the most scan
dalous effort to provide the party with illegal
votes Democratic Judge of this Court has
issued naturalization papers, in open court
within two weeks, to much more than five thou
sand persons. week ago seven hundred and
twenty were executed in one day. That is to
say, in the few business hours of q single day,
seven hundred and twenty distinct cases. in
each Of which the question of the qualifications
of a man for citizenship was to be determined by
evidence satisfactory to the Court, were heard,
considered and judicially determined by 9 sin
gle Judge. An examination into these cases
shows that the same parties were vouchers in
scores of cases for the psrties naturalzed, and
that these men wsre employed by the Democratic
Committee at so much per day to go into Court
and swear to anything that was required in or
der TO cloths the applicant with tho rights of
citizenship 1t is moreover asserted, on good
authority, that large number of these papers
were issusd when no Judge was on the bench
upon an oath heard only by the clerk and the
tipstaves. But even this does not cover the whole
enor&ity OF the fraud that has been perpetrated.
Blank papss of naturalization, attes!ed by the
seal of this Court and signed, whether by forgery
or not is yet an open question, with the name
of the Clerk of the Court, have been found in
the possession Of Democratic roughs, prepared
for distribution. In this way it is we'll known
in Philadelphia that foreigners landed upon our
shores have in less than week thereafter
been furnished with naturalization papers, and
will be carried to the polls next week to help
overwhelm the true voice of the people of the
State-.1merican.

A FINE FARM AND IMPROVED SrocK,-The
farm of Mr.. Charles Murphey is situated in
the Fourth District about half o mile east
Of Fair View, better known in former times,
as Katy Dysart's," or the 81 Fox Chase"
A dozen years ago the farm was little better
than a common Of sedge grass now it is
one of the finest and most productive in
that neighborhood, and it is located in the
midst of highly improved and well titled
farms.
Mr.. Murphey has a field of most splendid
corn-as fine as we have ever seen, which
will husk out eighty bushels to the acre,
judging from the appearance of the crop as
it now stands. The corn is of the White
Twin species, every stock having two ears,
and large number producing three and
four ears. The hills are planted three by
four feet apart, and two stocks to the hill
Of course it requires hlyimproved and
well-manured land to produce such a CROP
and this is the kind of farming Mr.. Murphev
does.
His buildings are all of the best order Of
farm buildings, the barn being magnificent
structure, one hundred and twenty feet in
length, surmounted by three ventilators
which serve to ornament as well as to in
crease the comfort of the buildings. The
farm buildings are all of frame, and hand
somely painted.
The enterprising proprietor of this place
is not satisfied with simply having highly
improved and wel-tilled farm, but the place
is stocked with the best breeds Of horses,
cattle and sheep.
To commence with the horses, of which
there are about thirty head, large number
being brood mares, Of blooded stock. EIGHT
of the mares have colts, sired by Mr. Muir
phey's thorough bred stallion, Sir Cecil,

three wears old, and half brother to Dex-
ter, Bonner's celebrated trotting horse, who
has made the fastest time as trotter on
record, surprising i'll speed, even, the re-
nowned Flora Temple. This young horse is
a finely formed dark bay, bearing a striking
resemblance, especially about the head and
powerful sinewy limbs, to his half brother
Dexter. Sir Cecil took the FIRST prize for
his class at the Delaware Agricultural Fair
and Exhibition of stocks, held last month.
We claim to be a pretty good Judge OF fine
sheep, having been sheep breeder, on a
small scale, in our agricultural days, and we
have seldom met with finer specimens Of
Southdown or Cotswold ewes, than those
composing the flock of Mr.. Murphey.
His herd of Durham COWS show the points
of the thorough bred stock; the large round
barrel, thin neck, small head, bright eye,
and short, slim horn, straight buttock, and
a plate, broad and level as a board, to build
fat on. Such animals throw feeder into
ecstasies, and for f.ttening, will always sell
higher than any other breed OF cattle. For
dairy purposes, the Durhams are not appro-
we'd, the milk being abundant, but lacking
that richness which is found in the Alderny,
Devon and some other of the smaller breeds,
though for feeding the short horns excel all
other breeds.
Mr.. Murphey understands the true prnci-
plies of farming, which are to bring up land
oh Il of
it with the best breeds of animals. Improv-
ed stock requires, perhaps. a little more
care in the management, but will not con
sumo any more food than coarse, common
stock, and when put into market, will always
sell for double, and frequently four times, as
much as common stock. No business will
pay as we'll, in the whole range of farming,
as the raising Of wellbred horses. Ami
mails that will trot mile in less than three
minutes, will always sell readily and bring
enormous prices, when compared with the
prices slower and ccmmoner stock com
mands Nothing lends SO much attraction
to the life of the farmer, as to have his place
well stocked with improved breeds OF horses,
cattle, sheep and swine. If our farmers
paid more attention to rearing improved
stock, and depended less upon digging and
delving, making farmers life that of
mere ploddcr, the business of agriculture
would be more attractive and vastly more
profitable.
A farm like Mr.. Murphey's, brought to
birh ctofo Of NV ind,
lagc and liberal manuring, we'll fenced, and
furnished with neat, convenient and com,
modious buildings handsomely painted, and
we'll stocked with improved breeds of ami
mails, is a constant teacher to the section
where such farm is located, and will not
fail to spread a beneficial influence for many
miles around.
