We are glad to see that the Louisville
Courier, Nashville Banner, and other
leading Southern papers, are opening
out" upon pair of blackguards who
have been and are furnishing Radical
capital by wholesale. and sadly retarding
the progress of the great Democratic re-
action. Such characters have no party
or supporters in the Northern States, and
by their labored appeals to Southern
feeling aud prejudice and vindictiye
denunciation of Northern men and insti-
buttons, deceive their readers as to the
actual situation of the country. Brick
Pomeroy and Chauncey Burr are North
ern men by birth, education and associa-
ton, but SO violently Southern in theil
feeling that they would degrade both the
men and women of their own section Of
country aud fatten on their degradation
to laud Southern character and to write
a few bold, defiant articles in behalf Of
49, 49,. .a-sa - XVhsts-..enf idan no

man who would laud the North and
villify his Own people2 The Louisville
Courier says:
"The God and morality party pro-
fess to be terribly shocked over the
utterances of half crazy sort of J
N orator who stumped New Hampshire
for the Democratic party. The ex Rev
erend aud ex-every thing else that Is
decent, c. Chauncey Burr, native of
Connecticut, is the Individual who arous-
ed the pious souls of the virtuous Radi-
Gals 10 such a pitch of indign nation.
They say that he openly advocated
assassination.
And there is another fanatic, whom
by mysterious dispensation of Divine
Providence, has control of a newspaper
in the Northwest. He calls himself a
Democrat, and sets hinself up for a
genius. His genius consists IN being
different from every body else. He is a
sort Of an editorial horned frog--a polit-
ical Snowman and moral monstrosity
During the war be probably never
heard the explosion Of a she'll, yet now
il is over, he desirS to gather up the
Confederate flags, sacred eInblems of his
g lost cause" that he may cherish them
in his heart, aud get few more sub
scribers thereby.
When President Lincoln was assassin
ated, an event which cast universal gloom
over the South, and filed the minds of
all thinking men with unspeakable dread,
this Northwestern editor approved of the
horrid deed, aud exerted what power he
had to secure for it the Endorsement of
the Democratic party. The coarse and
vulgar illusions to Mr.. Lincolns murder
have been kept up By him from that day
to this, serving to shock the minds Of
ali decent people and furnishing con-
slant supply of ammunition for the enc
mics of the Democratic party"

PACIFIC RAILROAD PRoGRESs.-At
the close of 1867, there were $50 of the
500 miles between Omaha and San
Francisco spanned by the iron rail. BY
the close of 1868, we are promised 500
miles more, and by the 1st Of j uly, 1870
the locomotive will make the entire dis
TANGO between New Y ork and the Golden
City of the Pacific in about six days
time No railroad enterprise was ever
carried out with such dispatch before
When we consider that the two back
bone ranges of mountains are being
crossed at elevations of 1000 feet above
sea level, the magnitude aud energy OF
the undertaking become more vivid.
Both the powerful companies, who are
building the line from opposite ends, are
making eommendable headwsy-the Cen
trail Pacific on the western half having
10000 men at work. aud the Union
Pacific at this end having force of ), 900.
The Pacific Railroad therefore, may
be set down as an assured, enduring sue
cess. There will be no lack Of means or
effort to finish it. The Government
furnishes about half the cost of build
ing. and private capital win do the rest
Already the line is paying more than
its expenses on local traffic. What will

Means GLOSSARY to the preservation of
the purity Of our party organization, IN

November effective, and to prevent
strangers from carrying the party ship
into nreSnown and chartless seas, The
Democratic party hold to special priuci-
rles, that we're once clad in most gorge
eus tinselry, trumpctcd in the name OF
things most sacred, aud held to be abso-
lately necessary, aud the true policy
upon which this government should be
administered The perilous times have
sgain called upon the Democracy to bat
.ls with the ancient enemy of the Re
public-now more dangerous because
more reckless and in power-and the
dangers Of the hour have brought to
our side, aud under the protection OF
cur banner, the gallant remnants OF old
party organizations, who uobly propose
TO make with US common cause against
common enemy; but, who, it cannot
be expected, have buried the old dogmas
of the party to which they belonged and
which they held SO dear. To the friend
who in moment Of peril rushed to the
rescue Of your family, you would will
iaglT awsrd honor and gratitude, take
him within your home circle, and freely
give him of the bounty Of your table !;
but, an effort on his part to take charge
of and direct your domestic affairs,
would be resented IS an act OF impu-
dence outweighing the gratitude for his
assistance To the old adherents of
other parties who are now heroicly labor
ing to assist the Democracy to defeat
Rsdicalism, the gratitude of the country
is due; but, we ask, if it is not immodest,
in a man, not Democrat, to attempt to
lead Democrats. The history of the last

True, IN the contests between Radi-
e.!ism and Democracy, they boldly
s;aod by our side-and, should a con-
test ever or anywhere arise, between
them and the Radicals, we should urge
the Democracy to move in a solid column
20 their defence-but we do object to
these militia men, jumped up in an hour
Of peril, ranking the regular army Of the
Democracy. Thus early in the canvass
we throw ont these suggestion, and
while We trust the utmost consideration
and generosity may be displayed toward
ournew friends, the advice is not useless,

sealing plaster is put over his mouth
and he is rolled in barrel four or FIVE
times across the room, the choir at the

He is now taken ut ofthe barrel and
hung up by the heels till the water runs
out through his ears He is then cat

him a class of cistern water. A cold
water bath is then furnished him, after
which he is showered with cistern water.
He is then made to read the water works

tern water between each reading; after
which the old oaken bucket is hung
around his neck, and fifteen sisters with
squirt guns deluge him with cistern wa
ter He is then forced to eat peck of
snow, while the brothers stick his ears
full of icicles. He is then run through
clothes wringer, after which he is hand
ed glass of water by young lady. He
is then again gorged with cistern water,
and his boots filled with the same, and
he is laid away in refrigerator. The
