~The Hon. George II. Pendlcte

1%The Hon. George II. Pendlcton has shown transcendent greatness since the nomination of Seymour and Blair. He has nobly lost sight of himself in the great struggle for freedom. He seems to be ubiquitous-here, there, everywhere pleading for the right. He seems to think that his defeat, his wrongs, arc nothing in comparison with the great destiny of the country. Pcndleton has more of the affections of thcNAmerican people now than he had before the National Democratic Con- vention. His conduct has been mag unanimous, grand and lofty. He speaks almost every day. In all his powerful and eloquent addresses, he epitomizes the Democratic creed thus; Fidelity to the Constitution Fidelity to the Union Fidelity to the rights of the States Fidelity to the liberties of the citizen Fidelity to the principles of free govern ment Fidelity to that policy in matters of finance and taxation, which, by pay ing the five-twenty bonds in legal ten der notes, will lift from the shoulders of labor the burthens which oppress it and by equality of taxation will make 1t to reap the just rewards of patient and cheessAl industry. That is plat form which all honest men can and will support, and they will support Sey- mour aud Blair as its representatives Memphis Avalanche.

A Hard Joke on Grant.

The Boston Democrat, referring to Gen. Grants celebrated order, driving the Jews from Mississippi, offers the following explanation of that brutal and unchristian order. The Democrat says:
 At the time alluded to prominent Jew cotton dealer of Cincinnati, made bargain with Grant for the getting out of five hundred bales of cotton from the Big Black river country, as- sisted by the 2d Wisconsin Cavalry Tho Jew offered, as tho custom, onc-fourth the profits. Grant wanted more, and at last the Jew offered an eighth which Grant accepted. The cotton was got out and shipped to Memphis, and sold. The Jew, faithful to his promise, met Grant with the pro- cceds of the sale, and gave the General onc-eighth of profits and departed. Grants Adjutant General, surprised at the smallness of the profits, spoke to the General about it, who was so exas- perated on learning that one eighth was less than one-fourth, that he with in that hour issued the order expelling all Jews from the lines, and to this day has never forgiven the entire race for his own stupidity.

me Old-Line vvhigs.

Georgia D. Prentice says: If there be a solitary human being within our reach, who, by some whimsical hook or crook of heart or brain, has got on the wrong side of the linc-of-battlc- particularly if he has been Whig or Union man, and considers it sort of duty to go against the Democrats, we entreat him to pause and reflect upon what he is about to do. Why should he go with the Radicals? and what reason can he offer for not going with the Democrats All the issues over which we used to fight are dead. The Democratic party itself is reorganized after division which completely de- stroyed and recreated it. In 1860 it fought within itself as resolutely as we ever fought against it. Times have changed; men have changed; issues have changed. Clay, if he were living now, would be Democrat. Webster could be nothing else. All the reput- able old-line Wings that remain are Democrats, from Fillmore to John Bell ]; and God knows, if these men can afford it, there is no one of their followers in the by-gone times who has any excuse to hold back.

Planchette.

$. The Frceman's Journal of last week comes out hard upon the "deviltries" of planchette. It says:
 Itis evident that this planchette is but new phase of the table tipping rascal ity-that is, fraud except where dia- bolic, and diabolic where not humbug. It is most dangerous to meddle with what are called the obscure powers of nature. It is seldom any one does so without damage to body, or to mind, or to soul. Generally the damage ex- tends to all three.
 We earnestly advise and entreat all our friends and readers, whether Cath ollie or not, to let alone table-tipping, spirit mediums, planchette, and all oth- CT silly deviltries, by which the lost angels seek to fool and perplex the hu. man race. These arc '1ying wonders, but yet there is devil-work in some oi them. They are part lie, part wonder The wonder part comes from the devil certainly; and as to the lies, the devil is tho father of all of them."

No Civil War..Dem Ocrats Rely
 on Ballots, not Bullets!

The Hon. c. l.. Vallandigham con. cluded very able speech at Dayton Ohio, the other day, with the following manly and eloquent words:
 have now, my Democratic friends, finished what I had to say on the pc litical issues and situation to-day. One word further upon another subject, and l have done.
 You hear from every quarter, through the Republican press, the alarm that it is the purpose of the Democratic party to reinaugurate revolution and civil war. Let no paan be in the least con- cerned. Upquestionably it is the fixed purpose of three millions of Democrats, with all the intensity which can fire the hearts of men born freemen and scorn- ing to die slaves, if we shall fairly, constitutionally and legally elect a President, to see that he is inaugurated at every hazard. It is our right, and our duty, too as also it is the duty and right of the Republican party, if they shall legally, constitutionally and fairly elect Gen. Grant. But no man medi- tates openly or covertly anything be- yond. No, gentlemen, it is the Repub- lican leaders who are the revolutionists. It is they wlo, resolved by all means and at every sacrifice of the rights of the States, the liberties of the people, and the peace of the country, to per- petuate their power, would again plunge us into both civil and social war with all its horrors. But to the ballot, and not to the bullet, we now appeal. The people arc wearied of the Republican party, and of it's wrongs and its pcrfdies, of its debts and its tariffs, and its taxations, of its negro governments and military despotisms, of dishonored Constitution and broken Union, which four years of war and three years of peace under its conduct and legislation have failed to restore; and they demand and will have change. And unless every sign and omen by which the political future may be discerned, shall fail, so signal and disastrous will be the overthrow of this party in November, that they themselves will make haste to recog- nize and hearken to the voice of the people as the voice of God; and as chastened children in silence will sub- init to the judgment which in mercy to themselves, as to us and the whole country, shall drive them from the seats of power. No, gentlemen, no; there will be no civil war in the land but the sun, at high noon, shining on the Eastern front of the Capitol on the 4th of March, 1868, will look down peacefully upon Horatio Seymour, President of the United States.

DIsGusTEp PArRIoTs.-The Meridian Gazette, chronicles the movements of large party of disgusted patriots. It says:
 Fourteen patriotic and disinterested individuals, passed through here yes terday morning. They were afraid that their votes would elect Grant and Colfax, and they therefore decided to go into winter quarters at the Peniten- tiary, and thus save the country.- Judge Foote, at the last term of the Circuit Court in Lowndes county, ap- preciating their generous motives, kindly consigned them to the walls of that institution, where they will be guarded in their conduct" like all other Radicals.

SINNERS FIRsr.-An exchange tells the following good one at the expense of the reverend clergy:
 On board the steamer Waldenstein, wrecked recently near the Cape of Good Hope, were several clergymen from Natal, going to synod of the Reformed Dutch Church, at Cape Town, and also an English clergyman. When the boats were gotten out, one of the clergymen rushed for the first boat, but Captain Joss, the master oi the ship, lifted him out of the boat, saying: You are a minister, and pre- pared to die; the sinners must be saved first" and sure enough the clergy were compelled to stick to the ship until the sinners had been landed.

Forty Miles of Snow Sheds.

The following. which we clip from an exchange, will give our readers some idea of the difficulties in the working of the great Union Pacific Railroad:
 It was reported last winter that the sheds built by the Pacific Railroad Company to protect their track from the deep snows of the Sierra Nevada mountains were crushed by the weight of snow that fell upon them, and that some other method of protection would have to be devised. It seems however, by letter in the San Fran cisco Bulletin, that this plan of shield ing the track has not been abandoned. The Company are now engaged ill erecting sheds over the cuttings and other exposed points. They are of heavy timber frame work, with pointed gable roofs, and look as if they could withstand almost any pressure of snow. Nearly forty miles of the track will have 10 be thus covered, and the quan- tity of timber required will be enor- nous. Not less than P sawmills, most of them worked by steam, are run night and day, employing nearly 1000 men, and yet they do not work up to the needs of the company. In a few weeks twenty mills will be running. It is estimated that it will rcqure no less than S00,000 feet of lumber to con- struct mile of sheds. So great is this demand, that the country on both sides of the track is being rapidly danudad of ifa foraSfr
