ALTERNATEs:
I" KNAPsACKERs."

According to the New York Tribune, Gen.
Butler, Gin brilliant and instructive
speech" the other day, "facetiously styled
loyal men of the South" the carpet-bagger-
ocracy to wit knapsackers." We can't for
the world see the Righteousness of the appella-
ton. The fact is, Righteousness is as far from
being Buffers forte as Fort Fisher was when
he wanted to take it, and couldn't, because of
his indomitable propensity to run away as
soon as he came in striking distance of it.
There is no more of this element manifest in
him, when strung to the highest efforts of his
genius, than there is in a striped hyena grin
ming over carcass, or a Norway rat burrow-
ing into cheese. Butler has so long, like
Falstaff, been the "cause of wit in others"
that he and his Tribune admirers would fain
believe that he also resembles the fiat
knight in being "witty himself"
The instance just cited, put forward in sup
port of this impudent claim, only proves the
plentiful emptiness of it. If by "Knap-
sackers," it is pretended that the so-called
"loyal men of the South are ex-Union SOL
diers who are still in different field of opera
tons, contending with " rebels" the pre-
tension is totally and palpably at variance
with fact. Such a conceit is just as easy as
lying-but that isn't the soul of wit. Though
the title of the class in question to the name
of "knspsackers cannot be conceded, their
sacking proclivities in general way are not
to be disputed They are ready to sack any,
thing-proyided always there are no prelimi-
nary hard fighting and real danger-from

A friend of ours W lille in New York during
the session of the Democratic Nominating
Convention, CHANGED one day in conversation
with Radical friend upon the subject of
Southern opinions of Northern men; said the
Republican: "How do your folks like Thad.
Stevens?" The Southern man was forced to
admit that our affection for " iron works was
not so intense as to endanger the general
health of any resident of Louisiana. "And |
Ben. Butler" continued the Radical, "what
do you Southerners think of him ?" "Ben. |
Butler, why we New Orleans people love him

negrophilist, "why how is that?" every

sation abruptly.

THE RIVER A GREAT SEWER.

The agitation of the project for removing
the stock landing and the slaughter houses
from Jefferson City, on the ground that the
animal refuse from these places defiles the
river IN front of the city to such an extent as
to be revolving to the senses and preiudicial
to health, is calculated to suggest some in
| terestlng reflections The Mississippi has
been written about in the light of a great
commercial artery, Of a great agricultural
drain, and in every other conceivable light
but that of great continental sewer. And
yet, OF all the offices which it performs. none
is more obvious than this. Without purposinp
here to discuss the justice and expediencv of
removing the stock landing and the slaughter
houses from their present site, we NAV OBJ.
serve that the main argument adduced in IA
yor OF the proposition is one which, logically
extended, amounts to nothing less than a pro-
test against the Mississippi in its function of
sewer, not for New Orleans alone, but also for
nearly all the cities Of the West and the
southwestern fact, every city, town. vii

EVIL, what is the remedy? Without pretend
ing to give an exhaustive answer, we NAV
safely say that no perfect remedy, in the sense
OF perfect preventive, is humanity possible
And we may also safely say that the river. in
the character of a recipient and discharper
OF refuse, Is by no means an absolute evil but.
on the contrary, is relatively great blessing.

friend Of ours, recently returned from
trip In the interior of Missouri, gives us some
account of the condition of affairs there. The
enthusiasm wherever he has been is intense
over Seymour and Blair Democratic clubs
exist everywhere, and no town or village is
without its liberty pole, from which float the
names of our champions. But by the in
iquitous laws passed during the war, about
two-thirds of the white men are DISTINGUISHED
and for the last three years have been entirely
declared the privilege of expressing their
opinions in any other manner than the simple
utterance of them. But on the third of No
vember will be elected not presidential cleo
tors, but State officers, and in addition the
question of negro suffrage in the State will be
decided. With all these interests at stake.
the people of Missouri, tired of Radical ty-
ranny, have determined that their voice shall
be heard, and are taking such measures to
secure vote as are necessary. Heartily do
we sympathize with them in their restiveness
under oppression, and much as we depreeate
any resort to extreme measures to obtain even
our most sacred rights, yet we cannot but
hold that there is point where forbearance
ceases to be virtue. Missouri is now rapid
ly reaching that stage.

causes water to seek its level. An absolutely
pure riveris, therefore, wholly out of the ques-
ton. In order that men and their habitations
may be decently and wholesomely clean, rivers
must be in some measure defled. But it is
not impossible largely to reduce this measure
without detriment to human cleanliness and
health, and with much augmentation of the re-
sources of human subsistence. To do this
men must initiate Natures laboratory where,
in endless round, reproduction is evolved
from decay. The refuse of London and Paris
which now so pollutes the Thames and the
Seine that fish cannot live in those rivers, if
given by mechanical and chemical continuance
to agriculture, would be able to feed London
and Paris Much the greater part, doubtless,
of this waste could be prevented. And
the same remark applies to every other
place where economy has not extended to
the utmost the utilization of refuse The dill
gence with which this branch of economy is
practiced in China accounts for the enormous
population and the sustained productive
power of that country. The great material
problem which the science of the Western ma
tons is called to solve is to give to agriculture,
without detriment to cleanliness and health,
animal waste that had its source in agricul-
ture, or an equivalent. For lack of such re-
storation some of the once fertile regions of
the old world are now almost barren and de-
populated. The amount of DEMONSTRATING
elements washed into the sea through the
Mississippi is incalculable. The agricultural
richness of the great valley suffers in this way
annually frightful subtraction; and extraor-
binary as that richness is, science must at
length come to the rescue of agriculture, with
adequate means of compensation, or the pro-
cess must result in wide spread disaster.
