Many of the readers of the Gazette
knew Jacob Morris, and all who knew
him will be panied to learn that he is
dead. He died at his residence in this
place this morning at o'clock.
And thus another link that bound us
to the pastis severed. Alas, how few

years of age, was among our Oldest
native born citizens.
have not the time, neither have /
the data at hand, for notice of his life
that would do justice to his memory.
There were those who were wider known
than Jacob Morris-there were none
more honest, more benevolent, more
faithful in all good works, and beloved
by all who knew him, than he.
He was printer by trade, and for
of the Western Star, published here, in
connection with W. HI. p. Denny.
He had held the office Of Treasurer of
this county and more recently was Col
lector of Internal Revenue here, while
Mr.. Martin was Collector for the Dis
trict
He was devoted and consistent
member of the Baptist Church, and
lived quiet, transformations, consistent
Christian life, and he died the death of

Of Jacob Morris among all who knew
him, that one is unknown in this COM
munity.
And thus they pass away-those good
old men who stamped the impress of
their character upon our institutions.
A. H. Dunlevy, John Hunt, and few
others of the native born citizens, are
all that are left us. Let us emulate the
virtues of those who live, and cherish
the memory of those who have gone,

In the preparation of this work the greateet care
has been taken to fully satisfy the public in regard
to Gen. Grants opinions on the leading questions OF
the da " and to present such analysis of his ele
mentary character to demonstrate what the public
may rely upon in General Grant, whatever compca-
tons our National affairs may hereafter assume,
while he holds important position among the chief
executive forces of the country.
The silence reticence of Gen. Grant, heretofore,
and which has been subject of so much comment,
and not uufrequently, uncaled for curiosity, will be
found thoroughly explained upon the score OF the
most statesman-like prudence and wisdom.
Gen. Grant belongs to that class of great men
whose eoquence is expressed according to the De-
mosthenc definition of "action! action action r
rather than in words, but he is found wanting in
vigorous power with the pen in the elegances Of
compact and emphatic style of utterance in language
In the general hubbub of politics when the small
tunities express their views" the silent who
speak only when necessity commands, and are apt to
be overlooked, their silence is misnterpreted 1t
is desirable, therefore, that rejecting peope-they
upon whose shoulders, more than upon any others,
"the dignity and safety of the Republic after all de-
pend, should withdraw from the turmoil, long
enough at least to study and Judge what may be
pected in the future from such men General Grant,
whom no devices of demagogues, or wes of opposing
becomes then the dutv as it wi, be the pleasure Of
such to thoroughly study him..
Of the number of works in the form of biography,
ETC., with which the public are supplied, regarding
General Grant, confidently believe this will be
found the most acceptable, thorough and reliable.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

We have made careful and honest
and dilignet inquiry, and say, most en-
phatically, that Grant, from the time he
entered West Point in 1889 until he re-
signed from the army in 1854, and from
the time he rejoined the army, in 1861,
up to the present date, has always been
a sober man.
We well remember how the papers
said that Gen. Mcdowell lost the first
battle of Bull Run because he was
drunk, and we doubt not but that thous-
ands of good people to this day think Nc
Dowell is drunkard, when, as scores
of officers can testify, he is perfect old
maid about waiskey never drinks
drop, and is constantly lecturing officers
who do take glass. John B. Cough
is not better temperance man than
Irwin Mcdowell. 1t was mighty hard
cut on him, after being a temperance
man all his life, and devoting his spare
time to featuring the young officers on
the beauty Of total abstinence, to give
lLc OlO SOloICI d Hdttoudl lcI)uttAtlOu as
drunkard; but we, for one, are not
sorry for it, if it has induced him to
stop lecturing others. AS Charlie
Norris, of the dragons, used to say, eff
Mac hadn't talked temperance so much,
and took his glass regularly along with
the rest of US, them newspaper chaps
would never have cracked that Joke
about his getting drunk at Bull Run"
John Pope says: eff you want to in
jure man and can't think of anythin g
else to charge against him, just say he
gets drunk; and as half the people take
their grog, they will be sure to believe
it," There is good deal of truth in
that and Pope might have added: eff
you want to discredit a man, just say
he's a liar and, although we cannot
say whether, for the same reason he ad
vances the cause Of whiskey, yet Ger
tain it is that at one time the American
people believed Pope the greatest lia1
living, when the facts of history go te
show that he is really one of the mos
truthful men in the country.
At Shiloh, while riding fast, Grants
horse fell, and gave him severe con
fusion; thercupon, some newspapel
writer's gave out that he was drunk, an6
| fell off his horse, when the truth was
| Grant was just as sober at the battle O
| Shiloh as the ministers will be who will
go into their pulpits to preach to tn
| people next Sabbath day. These ex
amples will serve to show how easily i
is for the people to be mistaken in
mans character, when they get thei
information from the teachings Of We
nal, inscriptions and partisan press.

A CURIOUS ExPERIMENr-Tak a
piece of pasteboard, about five inches
square, roll it into tube, with one end
just large enough to fit around the eye,
and the other end rather smaller Hold
the tube between the thumb and finger
of the right hand lido not grasp it with
the whole handy; put the large end
close against the right eye, and with the
left hand hold a book against the side
Of the tube. BE sure and keep both
eyes open and there will appear to be a
hole through the book, and objects
seem as if through the hole, instead of
through the tube. The right eye sees
through the tube, and the left eye, sees
the book, and the two appearances are
so COMPOUNDED together that they can
not be separated. The left hand can be
held against the tube instead of book,
and the hole will seem to be through
the hand.

REV. J. n. PHILLIPS.

The following from the Petersburg
Tribune shows the character and SEN
timent of at least one man on the Dem
ocratic ticket of this State:
During the meeting Of the Baptist
Association held in this county last Oc-
tober, discussion sprung up over a
resolution introduced for the purpose
of dismissing one of the members who
had previously taken the stump as "
politician. In debate the Rev. Mr..
Gillespie. Of Vincennes, remarked that
he had prayed for the Union soldiers,
and Mr.. Loveless said that he had not
only prayed for the soldiers and the
overthrow Of the rebellion, but that he
had entered the army. These gentle
men were at once taken to task by Mr..
Phillips, who said that they had both
done wrong, the former in praying for
those who werc engaged in the work of
killing their fellow men; the latter in
imbruing his hands in the blood of his
brother. This incident will be recol
lected by many Of our citizens and is
given to the public for the purpose of
showing the faith of one of those who
are asking office at the hands of the peo-
pie. With men who thought it wrong
to fight for the country or pray for its
soldiers for Superintendent of Public
Instruction, and with such democratic
literature as the Youths history of the
War;" introduced into our schools, we
presume that the Government would be
considered entirely securely the mon
grel party which calls itself democratic"
We ask those Republicans who style
themselves s.Liberalists, particularly
the youthful political editor of the Tel
egrani--who have resolved as society
to cast their votes for the Rev. j. r.
Phillips in preference to Barnabas c.
Hobbs, to ponder the above, and look
before they leap out of what they deem
the s.frying-pan" into the fire. Altho'
a strict and consistent Friend, and bear
ing his testimony against war, yet, dur.
ing the democratic rebellion, he did all
in his power toward maintaining the
families of our brave soldiers, and 70,
the relief of those who were wounded
by rebel democratic bull cts. He was
found acting the part of the good Sa
marian while his opponent, the Rev
J. R. Phillips, was doing all in hi
power to make the democratic principle
enunciated at Chicago, success, ant
prove the war for the life of the Nation
-incited and propagated in the inter
ests of slavery by democratic Southern
leaders-ssA FAILURE and he could no
find words strong enough to reprove on
Of his brother ministers for "prayin!
for the soldiers and for the overtime,
of the rebellion and another for nc
only aiding the cause by prayer. bu

ness and justice by his works

stone rock about seven feet below the

eight inches in diameter, filled with very
salt water. After the discovery Of the
we'll, Mr.. Staples prosecuted his inves-
LEGATIONS, and found, to his surprise, q
line of salt kettles. The kettles were
of stoneware, made of the same material
as that used by the Indians for their
houseware, such as plates, dishes, &c
The kettles were broken, but the cur
vature indicated that they were about
three feet in diameter and about forty in
number. A most striking fact connect
ed with the discovery, is, that the ket-
ties were found at depth of seven feet
below the surface Of the ground.
Growing above them were trees pop
lar and oaks-which were evidently
two centuries old.
