New YORK, August 21.-At O meet

luton was adopted, that no tobacco

10 per cent. discount would be
allowed on other stamps refused on
tobacco stamps.

FGTIoIDE IN New YoRK.-In this
city there are ten people know to the
police and the Board of Health,
whose regular business is fmticide.
They advertise in the Herald and the
Sunday Mercury. They manufacture
and sell pills, French" "Golden, E"
Portuguese" warranted to take the
unborn life in from one to five days.
They practice their hellish trade in
so-called hospitals, and it is sup
posed, as it has been more than once
charged, that they burn the bodies
of their victims, as they can receive
no burial permits from the Board of
Health. The Registrar of Vital Sta
tistics, n. Harris, is of opinion that
the number of still births registered
represents but about one-third the
human embryos destroyed; and that
one-haif the stili-births reports are
actual infanticides. This leaves the
thinking man to infer that there are
in New York about 1000 women who
destroy their children.

AN UNRodANTIC HUSBAND. An aunt
of ours concluded to try the effect of
O pleasant smile and kind word
upon her husband, when he had re-
turned from his work. She had read
how home should be pleasant, and
the wife should always meet the hus-
band with joyful smile. The sue
cess she had is best given in the
shape of dialogue. Enter hus-
band, almost exhausted, and very
hungry withal; throws his hat on the
floor, and drops heavily into seat.
Wife preparing tea, looks up with q
smile, and is so glad to see him.
Wife-"Well, my dear, it is so nice
to have you here at meal time" Ia
long smile.
Husband-"Yes, suppose So"
Wife-"How has your business
prospered to-day?" Another smile. |
Husband-"About $685."
Wife-"Come, my dear, supper is
ready; let me draw your chair. "
[Another smile.
Husband gruffly-"I am too tired
to stir. Wait till I warm my feet"
Wife-''Do as you choose, my
dear" Another sweet smile.
Husband -"Look O. here, old wo.
man, before any more fuss is made
about it, I should like to know what
in thunder you are grinning at?"
Aunt sighed, and relinquished her
sweet smiles from that date. Uncle
was not one of the romantic sort,
and didn't understand such things.

PRosCRIPTIoN.-Several RAIDS have
recently quit Chris. Hinckle's boarding
house, assigning as a reason, that he
signed a paper pledging himself to
employ no Loyal Lacquer in his es-
tablishment. It seems they had only
just discovered that Chris. was demo
crat. Chris has been living in Jack
son for fifteen years, without Radical
patronage, and we have no doubt he
can stand it for fifty years more.
Two printers, of unexceptionable
character for sobriety, industry, and
skill, have just been discharged from
the Pilot office. They were among the
first employed when that paper was
established. No cause assigned, but
the gentlemen referred to are avowed
Democrats.

owners and masters have no quarrel with
you. The charge of Lynch and the Leagues
That we wish to reduce you to slavery, or IL.
any manner infringe your lawful rights of
person, property, education, or enfranchise-
ment. is utterly false. BY our present Con-
| stItution and laws. you are protected in all
these; and by the acts of Congress in the
elective franchise. We have lands and
homes for you; we have timber and stock
and implements of all kinds; you have labor
in abuudance-you need employment and
home-we can give you these and make
you comfortable at once. If you accept our
proposed hand of friendship. United and
as friends, we can hold and enjoy the garden
spot of the earth, and make it a Paradise for
US all.
Why then take counsel of the strangers
and oath-bound eonspirators and paupers
who abuse alike your confidence and our
hospitality, and who seek your friendship
only to elevate themselves and to defraud
and ruin both you and us? Have they any
homes, or lands, or stock, or provisions, or
ralment to offer to you or your families
Can you live on the impoverished idea that
they are Union men and that we are rebels
is that patent medicine for all the ills

When the election is over-the NJ ssissip-
plans beaten by your fraudulent votes-yOur
imported friends installed in office, and the
election, what will become of the poor freed
men whose votes have accomplished this
result ? VIII you not be beggars at the
mercy of the very men you will have be-
trayed? Will you then ask the people of
Mississippi to treat you as prodigal sons
kill for you the fatted calf. and restore you
to the protection and comforts of their fam
lies as in days of yore
Freedmen of Mississippi, look before you
leap. There is an awful gulf now yawning
before you. The vote you may cast in this
election may be decisive of your fate. If
you abandon the people with whom you
have ever lived and who now invite you to
their protection for the future, you cast
your destiny with an enemy between whom
and US there is eternal war. The system of
plumber and robbery they have inaugurated
by their Convention proceedings can never
be endorsed by any people The entire pro-
ducts of the earth and the industry of the
people cannot support the burthens they
impose The State and all its interests will
wither in their hands and become as sterile
and denuded as the sands of Sahara.

Judge Yerger, formerly Judge of the Su-
preme Court of this State, and which carries
with it the authority of law.

SPECIAL NOTICES,

ERIE RAILwAY.-In our columns to-
day will be found the new Time Table o
this road, which took effect on the lth inst
Several important changes have been made
with which all our readers should becom.
familiarized. The Erie Railway has long
held a leading position in the great chain o
roads uniting the West with the East, which
commodations afforded passengers, the uni
form civility of its officers and agents, the
grandeur and sublimity of the section o.
country which it traverses but to the great
vigilance exercised in the running of train:
and providing against accidents
Despite the closest scrutiny and circum
spection, however, all great and important
thoroughfares are liable to accidents. In
the case of the recent accident near Cars
Rock, no human prescience could have avert
ed the sad catastrophe For four years prior
to its occurrence not single passenger was
injured on this road; and it is generally adj
Elitted that no Line went into the past win
ter in better condition, in all respects than
the Erie; but seGlnusually long and severe
was the winter, that the iron in some parts
of the road yielded to its rigid severity
Yet at this time the road is in as perfect a
condition, as the average of those in the
country. To render it safe beyond a ques-
ton however the company is substituting
steel rails as fast as possible for the defec-
tive iron ones laying a double track on the
Delaware division, and doing everything to
place the road in the most thorough condi-
ton. The 100000 which the Company
recently came into the possession of will en-
able all of these improvements to be made.
As showing one of the most prominent
achievements already secured by the work
which is being pushed rapidly forward, we
might mention the fact that the trains at
present experience no detention, but arrive
at New York and the principal Eastern cit
les at the same hour as rival lines
The Erie continues to issue through tick
cts to New York at s. As less than any other
route-a fact which our readers will do well
to bear in mind, when visiting the East
either on business or for pleasure.

RADICAL MEETING.-We notice snowy
posters about the city, announcing that
Col James Dugan, the Radical editor of the
State Journal, will address the public this
evening in the Hall of Representatives., on
behalf of III. J. Sanderson, rabid ultra Rad
zeal, in opposition to Captain Fisher. If we
should be so unfortunate as to have Leg
islature under the Mongrel Constitution, we
certainly prefer to have man of Captain
Fishers professedly moderate and Conserva-
tive views, to one who has become notorious
by his utilization with the Loyal League
party We have no doubt Sanderson will
be in the minority, but we hope both as
pirants will be permitted to enjoy their
present obscurity, for some time to come.
