Copsi.tency Of the oIIgarchy.

! Only four years ago Mississippi was
invaded by strong armies to compel her
to stay in the Union, and told if she would
lay down her arms, and send representa-
tives to Congress, nothing more would be
required in token of submission. Re-
fusal to be represented was the FIRST Of
Tense on her part complained Of. And,
now the State has been conquered, the
people are forbidden BY the military ruler
to hold any election for representatives
at all. 1t is crime to send Democrats
to Washington, for which Kentucky
ought to be expelled from our glorious
Union. And why should Mississippi be
allowed the privilege

while hunting, the other day, and passing
by the rocks, thought be saw smoke issuing
therefrom. In order to satisfy himself Of
the fact, he approached, and was truly as
founded when he ascertained that his sur

stout, ugly scoundrels, who had made this

When they had completely overpowered
him and inflicted several strokes with their
sledge- hammer fists, they bound him with
grape vine and swore him to secrecy
After taking his watch and about $50 in
money, they loosed him and suffered him
to depart. Mr.. Long, not regarding the
oath administered by the bandits, and la
ken under duress, with large margin for
mental reservation, immediately reported
them to Messrs. Spangler Sterritt and
Others, who, with rifles, revolvers and other
implements of death, repaired to the cavern
for the purpose ofarresting the perpetrators
of this outrage upon their neighbor. But
great was their disappointment when they
found that their game had made good its

The Recall or the South.

Few who have not studied the subject
closely have any exact idea of the transcen-
dant reasons why the statesmen Of this ma
ton should strain every nerve to recover
the full harmony and vitality of the South
which have become more than familiar to
viz that although the war has been over
for more than three years. gold continues
40 per cent. higher. than it should trade
languishes our foreign commerce faints
and q vast section of our country is mre-
constructed and unreconciled, WHILE in the
meantime mountain of debt and taxation
brushes the life out of the laboring classes,
and reduces the activity Of capitalists, In
far too many cases, to the merest specula-
ton in securities and stocks,
| Official figures from the Washington
Bureau of Statistics show, under date of
Feb. %, 1858, that the sum total of South
ern produce exported for the fiscal year
ending June Both, is $685., 406,757 to con-
trast with but $143,901,243 from the
Northern States, the grand aggregate being
$474 ,608,000. Thus, the South has SO per
cent. of our total produce exports, although
the estimate for the North includes more
than $50,0O0,O00 of gold and silver in coin
and bullion, which, if considered legiti-
mately as exports at al, might be set down
for the whole country. If we, therefore,
deduct 30 much ffom the amount of North
ern expectation, we find but 800, 100000
left which is no more than it was in 1885,
when our country had but half its present
population. - 1es1 49,
But, again, the quantity of cotton, tobac-l
co, rice, sugar, fruit and other Southern
products consumed at the North, during
the last fiscal year is computed at $780,,
100000, which added to the export amount
will make the whole $418, 100000.
Cotton, the grand staple of all has been
terribly wounded by the civil war, but wise
craftsmanship, exempting It from taxation
and adopting other measures of relief,
might speedily restore its former impor-
lance. The negro, although the most ex-
perienced hand in the cotton field, is not,
by any means, indispensable, and, although
rash legislation has greatly impaired his
| efficiency, even he might be persuaded to,
! cease, the waste of time involved in idle
lagitation and bestow his well adapted la
Dor to line of agriculture that would So
richly reward him at last.

port tables of the seven years, each ending

A poor woman, whose head-dress consisted

says:
although not understanding what was
communicated, could not but feel that it
was favored time, and that the meeting
was owned in a remarkable manner by the

scarcely any emigration, the only explana-

The feyerish artificial strain, that existed
during the height of the war gave to the
unthinking mass the impression Of a high
prosperity. Our life-blood was gushing
forth in Niagaras Of expenditure, and the
very sight of SO much money lavished con-
veyed to the ignorant the idea Of exhaust
less strength, when in reality it was the
most dreadful sign of our rapid exhaustion.
But when the cessation of hostilities was
attained, and all the excitement collapsed
into asyncope of debt and impoyerishment,
the Southern staple was again felt to be
our very present help in time of need. -
The 650,000,000 pounds of cotton which
the planters had secreted or otherwise man
aged to rescue from the destruction Of war
relieved the exhausted country, with re-
turn of 1891 100000 from the hands of

RESTORATION OF DROWNED PERsoNs.-7
All testimony hitherto is decidedly in favor
of DIR. Marshall Halls mothod, which is a
very simple one, for it needs no apparatus,
all that is required being that the body of
the drowned person be it man, woman or
child be placed upon its stomach, with
the arms under its forehead, and then turn
ed from side to- side, as one would roll a
wine cask or beer cask in process of clean
sing, but of course more slowly and gently,
and continuing this rotary motion until the
full imitation Of the lungs shall have taken
place. Those acquainted with the princi-
Piles of natural philosophy, and at the same
time having any knowledge of the structure
of the bony and esTtiiagiHoas chest IN
which Is contained the lungs, win at once
perceive the reasons on which is founded
the advocacy of this simple method for the
recovery of persons apparently drowned.
