TIE HOMESTEAD ACT.

We publish several long documents
this week to the exclusion of other mat
ter, but all highly interesting, and
among them the ''Homestead Act."-
Our readers will study this Act careful
ly-weigh it ghtfully-contcmplate
it in all its bearings, before deciding
upon it's character.
If it had not contemplated retro action
we would have had less difficulty with
the Act as it embraces wise and benef-
cent provisions. But as it is, it defeats
contracts-destroys the consideration
upon which they were mads,. impairs
their obligation and no Judge, in view Of
his oath, can avoid pronouneing it un-
constitutional and void.
It bears this attempt to authorize
fraud and when we add to this the fact
that any one, however innocently, who
attempts to take advantage of this Act
TO shield his property from his debts,
even. in future, will be regarded with
suspicion, we cannot avoid the conclu-
sion that the Act will become more un'
popular than the old Insolvent Law o.
the State. But we have no space to say
all We wish to say ON the subject ane
leave it for future remark.

WHO ARE THE REvoLur1oN1srs ?

1t is the game of the Jacobin press to
seek to promulgate the idea that
the Democratic party arc the revolutions
lists. Nothing could be further from the
truth. The Jacobins, and before
them their original abolition agitatOrs
from the east, have been all the time
revolutionists. They, and they alone,
by their resistance to the Constitution
and their incendiary, revolutionary acts,
brought on the civil war, and turned the
hearts of the Southern people against
the North. And when the bone and
sinew of tho North had conquered a
peace and destroyed the armies of the
South, these same Jacobins, still backed
by the New England abolitionists, per-
sisted in thrusting in, bitter enmity and
hatred, when the true men of the North
had already stepped forward with the
olive branch of peace in their hands, Of
fering them the honest hand of sincere
friendship, such as manhood should of
fer to manhood. Thus these base ia
cobins began new revolution, and the
ball will never cease rolling till every
one of them shall be expelled from the
councils of the nation, and the Union
shall be restored. -PHsbwy Pest.

CRITICAL STATE OF AFFAIRS IN
SOUTH CAROLINA.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette under date Of the 4th
inst, says:
+ A prominent. South Carolina editor,
who arrived here to-day en- route for
the North, reports sad condition of af-
fairs in his State. He says the negroes
are organized in military companies
throughout the State, and while they
admit they have not the most approved
arms, they claim to have a weapon tho
'torchC viii answer their purpose. The
leaders declare that all their movements
were authorized and directed by Genor-
al (now GovcrnorI Scott, but the Gov
ernor remarked to our informant that he
had dono no such thing--tltat his name
had been used without authority by
those who had forged it to all kinds of
documents. The result has been to
cause the scattered white population to
arm in self-dcfence, and if an outbreak
commences, war of races will be in
'auguratsd looking to q total extinction
of the blacks. Untiring efforts, how
Fever, are being made by all classes Of
the whites to prevent catastrophe so
terrible to contemplate, but great fears
are entertained lest the action of the ne :
groes at the approaching elections shall
precipitats what should be avoided.

~In tho 9th Congressional district
of Massachusetts, the Republicans have
brought out a candidate to oppose But
Ter, but tho candidate Mr.. Dana, finds
that Southern hatred towards Butler rem
ders it almost impossible to contend
with him in Massachusetts. With this
card it seems in vain to fight the "Great
Unscrupulous" on his own heath, and in
vain they daguereotype him in words
Whom friends aud foes alike despise;
Whose soul squnts through his devious eyes;
In which, and in his face, you see
The devils likeiest efigy."

Gen. Geo. b. MCCLELLAN, dem
cratic candidate for President in '64,
in n recent letter, speaks in the highest
terms of Gen. Grant, but thinks the
measures of the party which nominated
him can never restore peace and cOnsti-
tutional supremacy. The work Of the
soldier, he trusts, is done, and hopes that
the people will fulfil the great objects
for which the war was waged-a restor-
ed Union of States and hearts.

GEN. SHERMAN ON POLITICS.

General Sherman declined attending
the Soldiers and Sailors Convention
(radicaD at Philadelphia, ia letter
which concludes as follows:
First, I have too much to, do in my
proper legitimate business, which keeps
me west of the Mississippi. Secondly,
am required by summons to attend
call meeting of the Indian Peace Com
missioners, at Chicago, On the 7th Of
October. Thirdly, l have made up my
mind to keep out Of political assemblages,
conventions and controversies altogeth-
err, because in my judgment, an officer
of the army, sworn to obey the laws,
and serve every Administration, has no
business to become partisan. No one,
| trust, doubts nay respect for and alb
solute confidence in General Grant, at
least he himself does Aot, and I extract
for your information from letter from
the General, dated Washington, June
~, 1868:
'Dear Sherman-Your kind letter,
written from New Mexico, is received.
You understand my position exactly.
|" ! feel very grateful to the Of
fcers of our army, whose military
achievements made my reputation as
we'll as their own, to know that they
support me in this new field. ] do not
expect or want active support, but mere
ly the satisfaction Of knowing what your
letter assures me of on your part. Of
fcers who expect to make the army
their home for life, have to serve under
successive Administrations, and should
not make themselves obnoxious to any
party likely to come into power"
This covers the whole ground, and
will, l feel assured, prove perfectly sat
to you.
With great respect, your friend,
w. 7. SHERMAN, Lieut.. General.

No. S4 Market Street, Pittsburgh.
Sir: take great pleasure in sitting that, after
having suffered from dyspepsia for about fifteen
years, at some periods much more than others,
have been entirety cured by the use OF Goes Dys-
pepsia Cure. My friends know that oflate years my
case has been an extreine one. had great suffering
from eating any kind Of food, and on an average
would v0mit out one third of my meals, in sour
iDdgestbla mass. When the severe attacks would
come, would Sc all strength and be utterly help
less. Some OF the attacks would be so severe that for
days together would not retain anything ON my
stomach, save little dry toast and tea. For yea
knew not what it was to pass i've onsecutve lurs
without intense pain. From the time took the first
dose ot this medicine ceased vomiting, gradually
all soreness passed away, and flesh and strength
turned, and ever since have been able TO eat any
kind OF food set upon the table. SIX months have
now passed without any symptoms of the +, turn OF
tne disease. My case considered by all, even
PHYSICIANS so marvellous, that it was fear
ed 1t right be ctitous: but am now so wei con-
Vineed, that have been merely relieved, but
permanently cured, that can conscientiously re
commend Goes Dyspepsia Cuie to all vic inns of dys-
pepsia. e7 -
