log our own efforts, to command the respect
and fear of the Radicals. They must be
made to know that while we intend to pre-
serve scrupulous regard for law. for order
and for peace; that while we intend to pro-
woke no disturbance, to create no riot, and,
while we do not intend to allow ourselves
to give way to that righteous Indignation
and just resentment which the expressions
under which we live SO naturally excite,
we yet do intend to defend our lives and
our property, and that we do not intend to
sit supinely by and allow ourselves, our
wives and our children to be murdered or
outraged, or to see their bread taken, either
by fraud or force, from their hands. We
must meet organization with organization.
We cannot set about the work too soon.
It is idle to pursue any other course. It is
folly to hope anything from Radical JUS
tice or Radical generosity. Our only ap-
peal is to Radical fear, Let us organize
ourselves at once into such unions as may
be deemed best fitted to aid and further
such measures as the Federal Government
may take for our protection.

Admiral Russell was the officer who in
the reign of William III. defeated the
French off La Hague and for his services
on that occasion was created an Earl. He
was hearty lover of punch, and is said to
have made the largest bowl of his favorlte
liquor that was ever made He constructed
a bowl or cistern in his pleasure ground at
Chippenham in Cambridgeshire, and threw
into it Four hogsheads of brandy, eight
hogsheads of water, twenty-five thousand
lemons, twenty gallons of lime juice, thir-
teen hundred weight of sugar, five pounds
of grated nutmeg, three hundred toasted
biscuit, and one pipe of dry mountain
Malaga wine. In this lake of liquor foated
a small boat, manned with steady boats
crew. These filed for all corners, ana
more than six thousand persons took OF the
Admiral's mixture. The cistern, or bowl
was empty long before morning

Political Revolution in Misunderstanding
the Radical Ranks.

AUGUSTA, August 26.
Further investigation in the interior Of
the State shows increased hostility to the
Radical Congressional ticket by the labor
ing classes. The lumber booms are almost
deserted. The shipyards are barren mon
uments of ruined fortunes, and their OPP
eratives are at work on the farms. The
Radicals are denounced for robbing them
of their occupation, and their votes will be
generally thrown for the Seymour ticket.
Radical leaders admit that several towns on
the Kennebec and Androscoggin, last year
Radical, will swell up Democratic maj ori-
ties, and that Augusta will wheel into line.
The Republicans have entered into the
canvass with renewed energy, with Judge
Kelley, General Hawley, Major Haggerty
and other speakers. General Sickles is ex-
pected in few days. Gross personalities
are INDUCED in by both parties, and antag-
Onism runs high

CLEAvE1AND, OHIO, August q.
The grandest organization ever effected
in any State in this country is the "White
Boys in Blue" now being mGrshalled for
the contest in Ohio. These organizations
are formed into companies, fully uniformed
and equipped, with the exception of carry
ing muskets, torch-lights being used in
stead. Officers are elected by companies,
and also in large places where full regi.
ments are organized regimental officers are
chosen. No one not voter is permitted
to join. neither any man who has not an
honorable discharge from the army. The
power and strength of this grand array of
the "bone and sinew" of our recent armies
can readily be imagined. They presentan
undivided front, and it is estimated that at
least forty thousand 100000 have already
enrolled themselves for service in the cause
of Seymour, Blair, and the Constitution
in Ohio.
In Cleveland nearly one thousand names
are already upon the rolls, and, with conf
dence, it is believed within two weeks the
number will reach fifteen hundred.
This splendid army of "White Boys in
Blue has greatly dispirited the Radicals,
who have signally failed in their efforts to
form organizations of "tanners," and the
like. Three attempts have been made by
the Radicals within the last month to hold
mass meetings in Cleveland, which have
been total failures, both in a numerical
point of view and in reference to the en-
thusiasm of those present. The Radical
leaders are disheartened and discouraged,
and are using the most bitter threats and
curses against their State Central commit
tee. The skies look bright for the Demo
cratic cause, and if a vote were taken in
the State tomorrow, Governor Seymour
majority would not be less than $4,000.
The defeat of Ashley, Bingham, Cooper
Wilson, Stevenson, and Schenk is already
conceded by the Radical presses, while the
Democracy are confident of their ability to
carry twelve, and perhaps thirteen out OF
nineteen Congressional districts.
Your readers may rest assured that Ohio
is alive to the work before it, and will give
no uncertain sound when the battle closes
in October, which will be but the buglo
calls for the grand conflict to come, which
will bring victory to the Democratic ban
ner, under the lead of our chieftains, Hora-
ito Seymour and Francis p. Blair, Jr.

Gov. Graham.


An enthusiastic Democratic meeting was
held in Hillsboro' on the 10th instant, and
was addressed by Hon. VIM. Graham. A
correspondent, speaking of the speech,
says:
my only object in addressing you is to
call the attention of all old line Henry Clay
Wings, in and out of North Carolina, to
the bold and noble utterances, on the &C.
oasion, of that tried and true Wing and pa
triot, William A. Graham. In the course
of speech of great earnestness and abili-
ty, he reviewed the state of public affairs,
and most emphatically declared that Ga re
lief from the unconstitutional oppression
under which we now labored, depended
upon the election of Seymour and Blair. !"
He pronounced Seymour to be, in his opin-
ion, " the ablest public man in the United
States, one who seemed fully to compre-
bend the situation, and, by his great abili-
ty, large experience and irreproachable
character, was eminently qualified for the
office of President, and he, himself, would
prefer him to any other man." He further
declared, "that there was no principle
contained in the platform adopted by the
great National Convention of July 4th,
1868, which old Wings could not and ought
not to approve and adopt"

LEXINGTON, Va, July 8, 1868.
My DEAR SIE:-Absence from Lexington has
prevented me until to-day from replying to your
letter of the Oath ult., informing me that had
been chosen by the Middle Georgia Farmers and
Mechanics Club to deliver an address at the an.
nual fair, to be held at Eatonton on the Oath OF
October next.
I beg that you will present to the Club my sin
cere thanks for the honor they have rendered
me, and express to them my regrets at my ina
bility to comply with their wishes. The resump-
ton of the regular exercises of Washington Col
lege, with which am connected, will take place
at that time, at which must necessarily be pres
eht.
There is no subject upon which the material in
terests Of the country now so much depend, in
my opinion, as upon agriculture, nor is there one
more worthy of the earnest attention of the peo-
pie of Georgia.
With much respect, am
Your obedient servant,

and campaign against our own evil pas
sions, which is true enough, especially
against spiritual pride, in all its forms. But
it is notoriously quite possible TO wear
hair-shirt next ones skin and yet have all
manner of wicked things next to ones
heart. And the truth is that people who
are really engaged in contending against in
furious passions have neither time nor en-
ergy left for peddling among trihes. IF a
man is sincerely waging war against ex-
cessive and disordered ambition, be is not
likely tc be full of chilly solicitude about
early rising; if he is resisting to the death
habit of Incidence, procrastination, and
unfulflled purpose, he has not much time
left for pondering the exact number of
courses or the precise poorness Of wine
which perfect virtue would prescribe or
permit. All moral ends are not of equal
value. The right-minded person, with just
views of what living means and is and
comes to, sinks little endsin great ones.

AHEAD OF Hrs FIGUREs.-The San Fran
cisco Bulletin has story illustrative Of the
speed with which the Pacific railroad is
built:
y GA few days since merchant came down
to the city from the, eastern side of the ST.
ezra Nevada. Having bought an extensive
assortment of goods, he gave directions that
they should be shipped to the end Of the
Central Pacific railroad, wherever that
should be, expecting to have considerable
job of teaming to fill up the gap between
the working end of the road and his place
of business. His directions were carried
out to the letter, but, to his establishment,
on returning he found that the goods or
lered had been carried about fifty miles
beyond his residence.
"The Continental railroad is now on its
travels. 1t is not safe to limit its progress.
There are probably twenty thousand days
Of work performed on every secular day
If merchant sends goods to the end of the
road they will bring up somewhere this
side of Salt Lake, probably in some ambi-
tious little town that he never heard of be-
fore his departure. Miles of roads are
created, and even towns, in single day.
The dot on the map showing the working
terminus of the road at the beginning oil
the week, must be moved forward at the
end of the week to q point representing
from eight to twenty miles Of progress.
Only few months will elapse before gen.
eral direction to send goods to the end Of
the road will insure their bringing up either
ut Omaha OF New York. 1t might be a
safer plan, just now, for the interior mer-
chant to drive stake before leaving home,
and order his goods not to be! sent beyond
his stake, lest he should have to chase them
into the wilderness" s-@ "'

REHEARSAL OF THE CREATIOS."-For
some weeks past the members Of the Rich
moud Musical Benevolent Association have
been preparing for public entertainment
Haydn's magnificent oratorio Of the Gre
alton. It was our good fortune to be pre-
sent at one of the rehearsals on Thursday
night last, and rarely has musical per-
formance afforded us more real enjoyment.
The Association, numbering as It does IN
its membership the representatives OF many
of our best families, may also boast both
male and female voices rlvalling many Of
the best professional singers that have
visited Richmond. The improvement mani
tested at each rehearsal is remarkable, and
is an evidence of the benefits aCcruing from
such organizations in the cultivation and
perfection of the vocal powers, as well as
the formation Of an elevated musical taste.
We sincerely hope that it may continue to
flourish, and may become permanent in
stitution.
Many inquiries having been made about
the time fixed for the rendition OF the
" Creation" by the Association, we may
state that those having the affair in charge
are determined not 10 appear before the
public until the oratorio can be rendered
in style never equalled in this city.
There is probability, however, of its be-
ing brought out in January. There is rea-
son to believe that on this occasion the yo-
calists will be sustained by an orchestra OF
about twenty-five performers, which will
add Tery much 10 the attractiYeness Of the
entertainment.
