hair where the foIlicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. Free

VIEWS OF AN ORIGINAL UNION MAN.-The
Hon. r. A p. Nelson, Of Tennessee, who, as
our readers know, was consistent Union man
throughout the war, has published the follow
ing note of warning to the North. 10 those
who believe in an overruling Providence, and
remember the history Of nations who have
preceded us, the force OF these eloquent re-
marks will appear to be strikingly applicable
to the case in hand. Mr.. Nelson says:
(" Let the North remember that there is a
Just Cod, who ruleth in the armies of Heaven
and upon earth, who governs Lations as well
as men; that lie used the Assyrians as instru-
ments to punish the rcbcllious Jews; but
when the Assyrians prosecuted them from
year to year, when they showed no mercy,
when upon them they laid very heavily their
yoke, He raised up Cyrus to take Babylon,
and punish the conquerors, who had been
his instruments, most severely. Let them
remember that although the South is con-
quered and suhiugated, helpless and power
less, bound hand and foot and bleeding at
every pore though her rich men have been
humbled in tue very dust; though her SER
wants are now upon horses and her princes
are walking as servants upon the earth ;
though famine broods over the last murmur OF
complaint; though she has drunken the dre9s
of the cup of trembling and wrung them out
yet her shrieks of agony will SO up TO Heav,,
en-, and, sooner of later, will be heard, and
in some form, now hid from mortal ken, nc
who fo:getcth not the cry Of the humble will
be her friend end her avengcr.

REJOICING THAT IT WAS NOT WORSE 2
An election has Just been held in Ohio to I'LL
q vacancy in the Congressional representation
from that State, which was occasioned by the
murder of Radical Congressman by his
own son. The unfortunate deceased was
elected in 1866 by majority of three thou
sand, and at the late election another Radi-
cal was elected to fill his place by majority
of about one thousand. This magnificent
victory so elates the New York Tribune, that
it fires double-leaded editorial of at least
one hundred guns, throws up its cap and
shouts from excess of joy. Some idea Of the
thankfulness of the Radical party for small fa'
yors may be formed from this delight at hav-
ing lost only two thousand votes in single
1 Go1npressional district since the last election.
II. however, they are to lose in the same
ratio in all the other Congressional districts
at the North, at the elections of 1868, how
many Radical candidates are likely to be in
the condition of the "headless horseman ~
Why, there will not be enough of that sort
of cattle in the forty-frst Congress to put one
IN each of the " standing committees of the
house." if there are many more such victo-
ries as that which has just put Greely to dane
ing like dervish possessed OF St. Vitus.-

advocated the passage of the ordinance, Ae
took occasion, to say that he differed with
others in this. He believed the convention
has legislative powers the same as had been
exercised in every Convention Of this State
He considerable Convention of the people,
possessed of supreme absolute powers, and
whatever they might deem necessary for the
good of the people they had the right to 90
It. He was anxious to see this ordinance
passed, to see the last vcstige of that hybrid
monster, slavery, buried so deep in the sea
of oblivion that no resurrection air shall ever
reach it in its loathsome bed.
Much had been said about the obligation OF
contract. There was no obligation to the
contract. There was no consideration, and
therefore no contract.
Another rule that might be applied in this
case was that where wrong and great income
vcnience result from local law the latter
shall not prevail. This was local law which
had blighted the fair prospects of the fairest
portion of the country, destroyed its COM
merce, and caused desolation and poverty
everywhere. -.
In conclusion the speaker hoped the ordl-
nance would be passed by an overwhelming
majority.
The hour of three having arrived, the Con-
vention adjourned.

INDIAN BATTLE IN TExAs-ONE THOUSAND
SAyAGgs ATTACK CAMP LANcAsTER.-A let.
ter dated San Antonio, Texas, January l4th,
says:
Dispatches j1st received here state that a
severe Indian battle was fought at Camp Lam
caster on the 9th of December. Camp Lam
caster is two hundred aud forty miles north
west of this place, on the Rio Pecos, and is
garrsoncd by company of colored cavalry
belonging to the command of General Hatch.
The Indians, about ono thousand strong, at
tackled the camp at 4oclock P. NJ, while
the company were watering their horses. In
the dash three men were killed, number
wounded, and thirty horses captured; but
the colored soldiers rctreated in good order
10 the post, where, getting their Spencer car
bines, they furiously assaulted the savages,
driving them into the old post works near
the camp, where the fight lasted until late in
the night, when the Indians gave way in con-
fusion. On the night Of the 25th the Indians
renewed the attack, but were repulsed with
great slaughter, leaving the ground strewed
with bows, arrows, guns, blankets. coa:s, pis-
tolls and knives, but carrying off all their dead
and wounded.
This is the first pitched engagement the
colorcd troops have had with the Indians
and it is not likely the savages will bother
hem soon again. The negroes fought with .
savage desperation that astonlshed the rec
men, who, no doubt, thought they could eaai
ly capture the post Phi its small garrison.

Two YouNG LADIES BURNED TO DEATT
We learn that shocking accident occur
red in Chattanooga, late on Saturday night,
by which two young and accomplished lsdles
lost their lives. 1t appears that Miss Mari
Daily had been spending the afternoon apd
evening with Miss Kate Harrington. at the
residence Of the latter. About IL O'Clock,
the young ladies returned to Miss Dai!y's
residence, intending to sleep there. 1t reing
cold, Miss Daily attempted to start a fire IN
the stove, but the fire not burning briskly
enough, she procured a. gallon can of coal Gil
and poured some of the oil into the s.orc. In
On instant the oil exploded. In another in
slant the young ladies and everything in tho
room were in blaze. Miss Daily threw her.
self on bed in an adjoining room, bit only
succeeded in setting 6re'to the bed clothes.
She was soon rescued by the negro attached
to the house, who, alarmed by the screaming,
rushed in and bore her out. Miss Harring
ton rushed out into the street, and was i'm.
mediately rescued from the flames by several
gentlemen who had arrived on the scene.
Both ladies were so severely burned that they
died early on Sunday morning.
A private letter, giving US an account Of
this horrible accident, says the room was cem.
pletely enveloped in flames, and although the
heighbors made most heroic efforts to rescu,.
the victims, they found themselves almost
powerless. The persons most active in their
efforts to render relief were we'll nigh sufoca-
ted. The scene is described as terrible The
bodies of the two unfortunate young ladies
presented revolving appearance. The VIC
TINS were highly esteemed in Chattanooga,
and their melancholy fate calls iorth univer-
sal regret and sympathy.-Knoxville Herald.

iDown with the dictionaries.

The reporter of the Raleigh Sentinel, who
sketches the proceedings of the North Caro-
lima Bones and Banjo Convention,in his clas.
sifcasion of members, called the black men,
bers R4negroes" For this he has been threat
ened with expulsion from the hall. Com
menting on the action of the Convention, the
New ork Journal of Commerce congratu-
lates%itsefs that the authority OF the North
Carolina Convention does not reach beyond
the limits of that State, and that the people
of the North are not under the necessity of
"hunting up delicate eupbemisms to suit the
fastidious tastes of the members Of that body"
1T becomes question whether the poiti-
al and social revolution which Radicalism is
now attempting is to be allowed to take q
IteraFy turn and subvert our standard die
ftionaFies. 1t appears to be aiming at the au-
thoriy of the photographers, and to tothreaten,
whatsall New. England has until now been
proudoif, the fame and the ascendancy of the
learned Noah Webster. We call a horse a
horse;a man man, the whites Caucasians:
the blacks Negroes. Turning to Web5ter's
dictionary, we find the following definition
Z" Nsgro-a Jlack man especially one o. q
race ots5lack or very dard; persons, acho IN
Aabitthe greater part Of Africa, and are dis
tinguished By crisped or curly hair, fiat noses,
high chceK. bones, and thick, protruding lips"
This is, the definition of New England
Lexicographer, made before the Reconstruc-
ton Bill was passed giving suffrage to the ne.
groes.i Has that act changed the meaning Of
the word
There was very great man of England
who abhorred the slave trade, and always
manifested a profound sympathy for the At
ricanS sayages.s This great man was the
learned DE-. Samuel johnson, the author of
/" Johpson's Dictionary of the English Ian
guaga." He had for years negro servant
named Francis Barber, to whom he left the
bulk Of his property, and after naming him
in his will, he added" negro"
Df:J Johnsor, Of England, and Noah Web
ster, Of Massachusetts,, were our most emf
nent photographers, and we have that au-
thoriry for calling black man negro.
Down with the dictionaries, exclalm the
Radicals black man is not negro What,
then, we ask, is he? He is not an ape, go,
rila, an indian or white man. If not ne
gro, what is he !? Among the numerous wants
treated by Radcalsm is the want Of new
dictionary.

The New York Herald thinks that eleven
dollars day is Z" royal pay for negro legsla-
tors" 1t SAYS: 4" The negro Reconstruction
Convention of South Carolina forms high
estimate of its services. The Sambos who
used to be glad to get few dollars month
for working on the cotton or rice plantations
have fixed their pay as constitution makers at
eleven dollars day and twenty cents mile
age. Our white Congressmen, who get eight
dollars day, will envy these happy blacks;
When he darkies come to Congress they will
undoubtedly endeavor to raise the dignity
and emoluments of our national legislators in
the same proportion. If negro member OF
a State Convention be worth eleven dollars a
day, what ought negro Congressman toget ?
Thirty dollars day at least. How astonished
these South Carolina negroes must be with
their extraordinary change of fortune They
can hardly realize whether they stand on
their heads or heels. To cap the climax OF
their ridiculous presumption they should have
proposed to pay the white members of the
convention half what they get themselves,
and that, after all, would be only somewhat
in proportion to the estimate in which the
two races are held in the South just now. a
white man may be nearly half as good as
negro.n

The Songs of Old.

The songs Of old How deep spell
Lies in The old familiar words
Once sung by those we loved so we'll
In other days, in happier years
Visions of hope long passed away
Come Ger the heart so lono and cold;
And memory asks, o, where are they
Who sweetly sung tho songs of old?
Where are they? Some in silence sleep
Beneath the mournful ycw-trco's gloom;
Others within the boundless deep
Have early found an ocean tomb:
Dim arc the eyes that gently shonc,
The once warm heart lies still and cold;
And hushed for aye, forever gone,
The voice that sung the songs Of old.
Where are they? On some foreign strand
For many weary day they roam;
Cherries they tread the strangers land,
From friends afar, afar from home.
Do they not long to join once more
The joyous dance, the social thrOng,
And mingle, as in days OF yore,
Their voices in the oldcn song?
Fondly the heart still loves to lingcr
amid the ruins of the past;
Tracing with fancy's airy finger
Visions too beautiful to last;
Bringing to memory's eye again
The long lost friends, the cherished ones
Waking the past with some sad strain,
Some wel-remembcrcd olden song.

son took two millions under the will, but was
also left rcsiduary legatee, probably under
the suppositon that after paying the other
legacies no very large sum would be lett
Curously enough, however, on the final set

into possession of million more, and he is,
