y FACT FOR FARMERS. 1t may not
be generally known that the seed Of the
snntlowcr is the most intalablo remedy
yet discovered for the speedy cure OF
founder in horses. The directions
which we CLEAN from brief article upon
the subject in the Essex Banner, says
immediately on discovering that your
horse is foundcrcd, mix about pint OF
the whole seed in his food, and it will per.
icct cure. Sunllowcrs are easily grown
alongside Of fences and in out-otLbe
way places, where they take up but lit.
tie room. The seed when fed in small
quantities to the horses is very healthy,
giving to the hair peculiar gloss. 1t
is a dlnretic in its tendency. Fowls like
it much, and thrive on it.

NJ case about the Presidential clccti6n-no,

alizc that the election is not vet decided
that the Republicans can win if they work,
but must lose if they arc needless or apa-
thctic."
The Tribune is exceedingly anxious to ap-
ply the whip and 'pur, and for fear there
should bo some relaxation of cxcrtion, il
hopes That the Radicals will "cnrry Penn.
sylvania, Ohio and Indnna but by small
majoritics,' so that 'both parties" will be
"animatcd to determined efforts in Move A.

Itmust DC admitted that tho speech
delivered by Mr.. Eppng upon this IN.
tcrestpS occasion was Il masterpiece Of
abuse and Ealschood There was Inc
usual mild cooing about peaceful inten-
tlons and peaceful conduct, but beneath
this were the words and expressions
which could have had no other purpose
than the provocation of riot and disorder
MIR. Epping told the negroes to be ready
to fight at the polls, that the Fire De-
parlment was thoroughly armed (Which
was deliberate falsehool), and that
there were required two regiments of
negro militia and two batteries of artillc-
ry TO keep Charleston down. These
remarks agree perfectly well with the
expressions made use of by Mr. Eppiug
~ private conversation. To one of our
leading merchants he said, in substance :
"Il the white people ar" disposed to be
NOISY a, The coming elections The coor.
cd people will have bl"oh." 10 another
gentleman II" said III the white pco
pie do not take care the city will be
burned down" Toa third he said: iii
The white people attempt to discharge
their colorcd employees because they
will not vote the Democratic ticket
Charleston will be destroyed" These
are the words Of an officer of The United
States Court for the Distrl:l OF South
Carolina. = CHnicstDR N'e,Us.

MIR. CAMrBELL's LETrER TO THE Ne
GnoEs.-At great Democratic meeting in
Aiken, S. c., on the 1th inst, lottcr from
Mr.. J. b. Campbell, of Charleston, was
read, long extract from which (embody-
ing his Vicws of tho present condition and
future prospects of tho American ncgro)
We published yesterday. These views are
in the main full of sobcrncss and truth.
The direct address which Mr. Campbell
makes to the negroes themselves is no less
kindly thnn plain and forcible. lie tells
them: 'iou may live here if you will,
pcaccahle, happy aud prosperous, under the
protection of our laws. just rs VIC arc pro.
tcctcd, with no distinction or inequality but
you cannot govern u.s." lie says, alluding
to qualified suffrage, "that will be for the
They arc 50 few that it will give you no
power, not even the shadow of it," IIo
adds elf every white inhabiant of South
Carolina - if every white mAn, woman or
child in the Southern Stalcs-should con.
sent and agree to il, you would not be permit
ted by the people of the North and West to
establish libcran, Or Dominican, or n
llayncn Government III the United Stat es :"
And he concludes his remarkably interest
ing letter thus: "iou have the opportuni-
iy offered t" choose between perpetual peace
prosperity and advancement in all tho many
blessings called ciyilizauon-be that
and hostility to us, degradation and final
determination. We offer you the former /;
the carpet -baggcr tcmpts you to tho latter.
AS your friend, pray God to give you wis
dom III your choice" There is no doubt
that letter Of MIR. Campbell faithfully cx-
presses the views and the friendly spirit of
MI good nnd intelligent members Of the late
slavc-owning class at the South. .-New Yorh

Who arc tho mobiles of tho earth-the

Who need not bow their heads to

Who are they, but the men ofto,l-

Whose hearts and hands su5due the
earth. and compass all the seat
Who are they, but the men OF toll, who
cleave the forest down,
And plant amid the wilderness, the

Who fight the battles, bear the scars,
and give the world its crown
Of name and fame and hsstoyv, and

They claim no gaud of heraldry, and
scorn tho knighting rod;

their peerago is from God.
They take not from ancestral graves
the glory of their name,
But win, as erst their fathers won, the

of all others in the breadth of its lib

tone, and the range of its glcanings."
