The following appeal speaks for it

there is station in the connection

Columbia. What q tale Of horrors

once rich and beautiful cityl Colum-
bia was the joy and glory of the
South. Its inhabitants were wealthy,
refined and liberal; but they have
been wasted, impoverished, ruined.
Yet they bate not heart or hope
they are helping themselves, and all
others who can ought to help them.
They must have another sanctuary
on the hallowed spot where stood the
monumental church of the sainted
Capers. Let it be built without de-
lay, and let the tablet sacred to his
memory adorn its walls. We have
the honor Of an acquaintance with
several of the gentlemen whose names
are affixed to the following moving
appeal, as we'll as with the excellent
and jealous pastor, the Rev. William
Martin: 't -, -, o.,,. .'..
An Appeal for Washington Street
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
Of Colsm5id, s. @. ''
On tho 18th of February. 1866,
the aforementioned church -edifice,
much the largest in the city, was
destroyed by fire. Not only was the
church burnt to the ground, but also
the argeilectare-room attached to it,
and the two commodious parsonages,
one for the pastor, the other for the
presiding elder. ,Ofall the Christian
denominations, the Methodist was
the greatest sufferer on that memor-
able night Of the conaagration OF the
city. The church was not only burnt
up, but the congregation so COM
pletely out, as from being one of the
wealthiest in the State, it is now one
OF the poorest--so much so that it
can never hope, unassistedly, to re-
build its house of Worship. With
much effort there has been erected a.
small chapel, in which the members
OF this church now convene for wor.
ship; but this building is totally in
adequats to, the wants of oven the
present congregation, and would
prove utterly subversive to the good
hope of gathering in largerSthe
place being already too straitened for
the present usual assembly of wor-
shippers.
Under these painful circumstances,
this once wealthy and liberal con.
gregation must now9 look to others
for help-must now. expect not to
give, as formerly was its wont, but to
receive. Asking with faith in God,
their Father, and confidence in man.
their brother, the stewards of this
church believe they will not be turn
ed empty away, but will receive a
prompt and generous response from
the friends of Zion everywhere. In
view of all this, our pastor, the Rev.
William Martin, is requested by us
to solicit contributions in behalf Of
our distressed church.

TIE Rail RoiD PROPOSITION.

Notwithstanding the disagreeable state
of the weather. the Railroad meeting on
Saturday was well attended. The COM
mittee, appointed at previous meeting.
made their report, which was adopted
without opposition. The proposition re-
commended by this Committee which,
as IS well known. was composed of some
of our leading citizens and largest tax
payers-is perfectly safe for the village,
and prevents the possibility of the village
paying anything in aid of the Railroad,
until after the road is in running order
from here to Menasha or Appleton. The
report of the Committee was satisfactory
to the President of the NJ. & NJ. r. r.
Co. He has withdrawn the first PROPOSE
ton and in our advertising columns to-
day VII be found the election notice, en-
bodying the proposition recommended by
the committee above referred to, and
upon which our citizens are called upon
to vote on Thursday the 22d day of Oc-
tober next.
The question now is, will Manitowoc
give $i90.990-$l0000 year for ten
years, with interest at I per cent. on each
installment as it becomes due-in aid of
the construction Of a Railroad to Menasha2
Thus far ne have heard but little opposi-
ton to the proposition now before the
people. Those who are most interested,
the business men and heavy tax payers,
generally favor the proposition They
are willing to pay their proportion of the
100000 oheeetully after the road is in
running order and as there is no money
to be paid # the road is not built within
three years, there IS 40 risk in voting for
the proposition.
TIE few who thus Ear oppose the pro
position are in favor of the Railroad, but
think the amount of money asked for its
aid is a liltle omuch. Unjust be borne
in mind IN this connection that we can
never have a Railroad unless we pay
something towards the building Of it.
The sooner we have a Railroad the bet
ter It viii b for our village and every one
Of our citizens viii receive benefit from
it; ana it seems to us that we can well
afford to pay the amount asked if it viii
give us q road year or two earlier than
by paying q staa-lersun at a later period.
We will il 3 future article show our
readers the. probable amount of taxes
they will have 70 pay on each $I00 of the
assessment.

Tl.e gale Of Saturday.

Last Saturday che wind commenced to
blow from the South quite early and kept
Att all dayEith undated vigor Tie sea was
soon running in from the Lake In long
rollers which plainly Indicated that old
Michigan was on . sPree-a regular ben
der, IN fact. About the middle of the
forenoon vessels Of every description were
arriving uumerouslg. We counted atone
time in tho bay outside seventeen YES
sels--fyo barques and twelve schooners
and one propeller. About ten O. clock
the propeller Allegheny fried:to run along
side one Of oar wood piers, but the sea
was so heavy she had to clear from it
and run before the wind. She went
through trap net but finally got headed
off and went out IN the lake. About
the same time the scow liedora of De-
troit, waterlogged, loaded with lath for
Milwaukee came into our harbor very
nicely, though she had sustained the loss
Of about l0m lath from her deck load and
had her mainsail torn 10 pieces. Shortly
after this. vessel came in the the scow
A. Howes, owned by c. Mears & Co of
Chicago and loaded with shingles for that
firm, parted her main cable. Both an
chors aud chains were out at the time
but the captain knowing If the heavy one
wouldn hold her the light one wouldn't
very long, let that go too and started for
the harbor. IL seemed a desperate I'M
taking in such wind and sea- but he made
port, the predictions Of the bystanders to
the contrary Notwithstanding Shes had
on heavy deck load Of shingles of which
she lost about 100 m this with her an
chors and chains viii probably amount to
something near $1,000.
Butsthe MOST daring thing of the day
occurred about one 8 clock. The little
schooner Tara Capt Huntly of Sheboy-
gan, havug on board some six persons,
tried TO make an entrance to the harbor
but unfortunately, gust at the critical
moment, was struck by a terrible roller
Fora moment shestood almostperpendicu-
larry on her Prov, then as it left her the
the wind carried her square around and
away She went straight past the mouth Of
the harbor There being a long wood
pier stretching out into the lake to the
north Of her and She already pounding
on the bottom, in the lea Of the North
harbor pier, many good sailors said that
her only chance was to so on the beach
where she wonid have laid easy in the
sand. But not 50 throwing out an an
ehor to bring her around the Captain let
her set Just Tishtyhen slipped her cable
and started for the lake. He cleared the
pier and was soon dancing among white
caps Halfan bour later he passed out
of.sight, but we heard many say that
Captain is brave man.
During the afternoon the Achates
little sloop came in with her jib all torn
to ribbons She was near Milwaukee
when her lib split and she run to Sheboy-
gan and cast an anchor North Of the point
but it gave way and she had to run for
this port

MARRIED.

On the evening of the 3Oth ult, at the
residence OF our fellow townsman, MIR. S.
Goodenow, by the Rev. A. G.. Huntley,
&. E. PORTER of Waukegan, ILL.,, and
Miss CARRIE r. GooDENow of Mani
towoc.
Fashionable circles of our village for
some time past have been more than
usually interested in anticipation of the
wedding recorded above The fact that
the bride ha grown up from Childhood
among Us and IS known and loved Uy al
made the desire 70 attend her nuptia's
almost univelsal. and no one vas zurnrIs
ed to see the spacious apartments well
filled with the gayest Of the gay The
ceremony WAS performed precisely at
nine clock, IN a short bu5 Impressive
manner The bride wa indeed lovely
and the beautiful toilets of the ladies
gathered around, formed very pleasing
scene Mrs Porter received many va}u
able presents from her friends, and warm
congratulations poured in on every hand.
After this had all been attended to re-
freshments were the order of the hour,
and the alacrity with which each one re-
sponded to the invitation to partake was
good evidence of their excellence. 1t was
quite late before the company had sufi-
emily enjoyed the social intercourse, mu-
sic and other attractions of the evening"
to take leave of their kind entertainers,
but all such seasons must terminate and
when this happy throng departed it was
to store away in memory the recol-
lection Of time well and pleasantly spent
The happy couple will soon leave us
for their homo in our siste.f State We
hope that home will ever be one of un.
alleged chi ,ynent and at the same time
would express the conviction to our young
friends that
though absent
They will ne or be forgotten"

quest us to return thanks for the ample
supply of wedding cake sent them.

A. REPLY.-In our paper last week
Fireman" made some inquiries con
corning flag. We could not make a
satisfactory reply then and so deferred
until now:
We don't know where the flag is.
1t is said the Democratic Club took the
flag without leave, but as several firemen
were implicated it would be hard to make
charge Of stealing" stand.
We should judge that sailing under
''stolen colors' was Improbable in long
or short run.
As to whether the club got tght or
not we do not know, but if it allowed
borrowed silk flag to get wet we should
pronounce it loose proceeding.
Some say the fias is ruined, some say
it is not; we havn't seen it.
The flag, it is asserted, does not belong
to the Village but is in every sense of the
word company property. Those who
took the flag are presumed to be entirely
responsible, and we advise ''Firemen" to
see to 1t that they make all damages good.
Whether the Democrats can be
made to pay for the flag or not is a ques-
ton too mighty for consideration now,
but as it is so near election we are inclin-
ed to take the negative

When Plantation Bltters were first
made known to American people some
seven years ago, it was supposed they
were an entirely new thing, and had ne yer
before been uced. So far as their general
use in tie United States is concerned, this
may be true. 1t is also time that the same
Bitters were made and sold IN the Island
of st. Thomas, over forty years ago, as
any old planter, merchant or sea captain
doing business with the Vest L,dies will
tell you. 1t is distinctly within my rec
collection that on the return of my father
(who was a sea captain. and doing an ex-
tensive trade in the tropics, he would
invariably have the Btters among the
ships stores, and our family sideboard
was never without them. For any sick
ness it matters not how severe or trifing
the decanter of these Bitters, by differ
ent name, was always resorted to as a
sovereign remedy.

THA REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVEN-
TON.

Last Monday was an exciting day In
Manltowoc among representative men of
the Republican party. The Great Nation
al questions now being discussed so ear
nestly throughout the land; the races-
sity Of doing all in our power to increase
the majority for Grant and Colfax; the
desire to have our county well and econo-
mically governed and to put in nomina-
| ton ticket which would be acceptable
to the people, these all conspired to make
the day unusually busy and interesting.
There was very good turn out from the
surrounding country, nearly every town
being represented. The delegates, too,
were men of character and no such row.
dies as may be too often seen in demo
cratic conventions They were men who
considered it duty TO give one day to
the people and do their best to promote
harmony and good feeling in the strong
ranks of republicanism in Manitowoc
county. And as result the business
before the house passed off quietly and
in good order. We have never attended
a County Convention where there was so
little strife and pickering and where the
candidates, both successful and defeated,
took the matter so unconcernedly. There
was only one office for which there was
any work done, that was for Sheriff.
Three candidates were in the field, Capt.
Hempschmeyer who was nominated, K.
d. Smart who didn't want the office, but
would run if nominated and Mr.. j. A.
Toodles who withdrew just before the
convention assembled. For ourselves we
preferred Mr.. Smart, as we believed he
was more widely known and would add
more strength to the ticket, but the fact
OF Mr.. H. having been soldier was
brought IN and changed tie vote,
which was atfrst a tie in his favor. If cleo
ted, Captain H. will make a good Sheriff
Colonel Belitz. Chairman of the Con
yention was nominated for State Senator.
Ia a speech accepting the nomination he
said:
In that great battle which is to be
fought on the Sd day of next November
at the ballot box, one or the other of the
opposing candidates must fall And
many of the rank and file, on both sides,
Of the would-be officeholders will be
swept away. May be | am one of this
class but If | must fall shall have the
satisfaction Of knowing that the leaders
of oar enemy-Seymour and Blair-will
tumble at the same time. No matter. [
repeat, If some Of the rank and file of our
party are overcome if only that great man
General Il. ;. Grant, who led our great
army Of liberty oyer bloody battle fields
to victory, and who Is leading us again
to victory at the ballot box, no matter [
say, what happens to the rank and file
if he shall be elected.
The Convention finished its work and
adjourned the proceedings VII be found
IN another place-and all Acknowledged
that we had a good ticket, condensation
of men about whom the enemy can say
nothing derogatory. 1t only remains for
US now to go to work and elect it If zoe
can. And who doubts our ability in this
respect? To such, if any such there be,
we say wait till after November third.
