The Richest Joke of the Season

The Advertiser, a rabid Radical
newspaper, published at the county
seat of Winston, mentions tha5 Sulli-
van and Hauser, two Radical mission
aries, spoke in that town on Friday
last, in filling a list of appointments
which they had made for the benefit
of the natives. Why they rested from
their patriotic labors, and double quick
ed on the back track, is related in the
following extract from the said paper.
1t gives point to its recital, by apply
ing to the conduct of the parties the
maxim that the {. wicked flee when no
man pursueth
I'VE regret, however, that Messrs.
Sullivan and Hauser became so need
lessly alarmed for their own safety, as
to turn back, and thus disappoint our
friends at Kosciusko and other points.
This alarm was, indeed, most ground
less. We never saw more orderly
and well behaved audience in our life
No one intoxica ed, and every one
seemed to be on his best behavior
Latein the evening, three gentlemen,
invalids, from Alabama, arrived in
town, on their way to Cages Spring,
for the benefit Of their health. These
gentlemen had their guns and dogs
with them, designing to spend a por-
ton of their time in hunting, while
enjoying the benefits of the mineral
waters. When our friends Sullivan
and Hauser saw these gentlemen with
the guns, they supposed the Rebs
or Ku Klux were most certainly upon
them, and that their career was doom
ed to be short No amount of argu-
ment or persuation of friends could
quiet them. We regret this. The
whole thing is good joke, but at the
expense of our cause. Instead OF
beating a hasty retreat to Macon, they
should have advanced into the enemies
country, and bore aloft our noble ban
ner. When they become cool and col
lected, we know they will laugh hearth
ly at the idea of becoming alarmed
when there was not the least sign O,
danger. The aoicked flee when no man
pursueth'

We are obliged to our contemporary,
the N. o. Picayune, for word of wise
admonition to our people. to take care
that the Legislature, proposed to be
organized-if at all-under the Mon
grel CONSTITUTE On, is under Conserva-
tive coutrol, in order to check and de-
feat the iniquitous schemes proposed
to be carried in virtue of that instru-
ment.
The Picayune adds:
"There is one thing which should
also be borne in mind: that is, that to
be securely eligible he should be also
an elector under the reconstruction
laws. That is, he ought to be regis
tered voter, not only able to register,
but actually registered. The elections
are held under the latter laws the con-
stitution is itself subordinate to them
until finally adopted by Congress and
the meeting of the Legislature is first
to consider the 14th amendment under
these laws Reconstruction negatives
anything like State independence, and
mere citizenship under State authority
Ler your candidates be impregnable
under every consideration of either
the constitution or reconstruction
laws. In this way you can win every
point in the game, which is in every
way worth winning.

As Mrs. Cady Stanton and other old wo-
men of both sexes continue to repeat the as
sertion that Gen Grant is u drunkard, little

quite timely As general superintendent of
the sanitary commission, Mr.. Olmsted had

them an account of the conditions of his cam

appearance. Gen. Steele had Just been ioiled
in an attempt to get around Nicksburg by way
Of the Suufower; the idea of passing below
the city by means of a canal across the PEN
insula from Young's Point was not promising;
and there was a great doubt what should be
done. Gradually the General was led into a
review Of the whole undertaking. "Wo were

the remarkably methodcal clearness of the
