The Coming Men Of the South.

From the N. y Commercial Advertiser.
Some of the leading spirits of the Canadian
rebellion conducted themselves with so much
decOrum, proprety, and discretion during the
succeeding years that they recovered their lost
ground, advanced in influence aud preiermsut,
and ultimately rose to high positions under
the Government which they had endeavored
to overthrow. In imitation of their example
some of the leaders of our Rebellion are now
pursuing policy which, if persisted in, can
but rebound to their great personal advan-
tage, as we'll as to the peace and prosperity of
those among whom they live. We allude to
such men as Ex-Governor Joseph Brown, of
Georgia; General J. L. Alcorn, of Mississippi;
General Longstreet, now of Louisiana; General
Wickham, of Virginia; and Governor Orr, Of
South Carolina.
These late Confederates perceive that the
'lost cause" is lost forever, and that motives
of policy, if nothing more, should lead the
vanquished to accept of the situation, and
abide in good faith by the result of the appeal
to the arbtTament Of arms. They possess
sufficient foresight and sagacty to know tnat
their erring countrymen cannot improve their
condition by "kicking against the pricks," 1"
or endeavoriDg along with Hampton and Vance
and Wise, TO revive secession, and endeav0r to
achieve in the political arena by the help of the
Democratic party, what they failed to secure
in the contest OF blood.
Governor Orr, particularly, has revealed
much moderation and sound sense in his fare
well message to the people of South Carolina.
And first he recognizes the supreme authority
| of the General Government as coptrasted with
the heresy of State rights. Whatever the
national authority wills must be respected
and obeyed. The remedy for unwholesome
laws, if such there be must be found in the
peaceful ballot, and not by resort to Blair's
revolutionary programme. "Whatever," he

The Work of the Convention.
From the N. Y. Nation.

From The ~. y Nation
What is perhaps the most remarkable about
the Democratic Convention is that it joins
issue with the Republicans on only one point,
and that is the proper mode of paying the
national debt. Considering the number and
variety of the questions which have divided
the parties since 1852, the number of things
in the Republican policy whichthe Democrats
have opposed since the outbreak of the war;
considering, too, the number of outrageous
violations of the Constitution, and all sound
principles of government, OF which they ac-
cuse the Republicans through their press and
through their orators, one was naturally led
TO expect a platform bristling with PROPOSE
tiols which Republicans would be compelled
to traverse, and on which the people would
be enabled to pass at the Presidential election.
For instance, We might reasonably have
locked for an affirmation of the right of seces-
sion from party which vehemently denied to
the General Government the right to prevent
sect sson by force of arms; and for demand
for compensation for the freeing of the slaves
from party which denied the validity of the
Emancipation Proclamation; and for declara-
tiOn in favor of free trade from a party which
has been free trade party from its formation,
and has treated the high tariffs of the last six
years as monsters of absurdity; for declara-
tiOn in favor of hard money from a party
which has always been the implacable foe OF
paper issues, and which denied the constitu-
tioDality Of the issue of the legal tenders; and
for promise to undo the reconstruction work
OF Congress from a party which has main

reputation. While pretending to desire
peace, he neither accepts the work Of recon.
struction nor attempts to restrain the m al
ness which threatens its violent overthrow.
When we refer to Mr.. Seymour's record, then,
IL is not with the view OF making that the sole
or even the principal ground of accusation.
But in his case the past helps to elucidate the
present. His attitude five years ago makes
Iuore apparent the meaning of his attitude at
this moment. We see that the Copperhead
ism of the New York Convention harmonzss
with the Copperheadism of the GoveInorship;
and we see in both, combined, the strongest
possible reasons for excluding from the Presi-
dency the representative of principles at
variance with peace. Personally and pri-
vately, Mr. Seymour may merit the lauda-
tions Of his friends We have to do with him
simply as a public man, whose political career
in this State di-eptitles him to the confidence
o. moderate and loyal man, and whose present
csDddature commits him to an extreme aud
dangerous policy.

The Campaign in New YOrk-CIrant and

From The N, Y. Herald
The State of New York is to be the great
battle ground in the approaching Presidential
struggle, and will be hotly contested, mas
much as without the electoral vote of New York
it would be utterly impossible to elect the
Democratic candidates any way. As the Irish
and Germans hold the balance of power in
New York it may happen, singularly enough,
that our adopted fellow-citizens may be called
upon to decide who shall be the next Presi

which nobody in the room could expect to
make over few dollars, and for which no de-
fense or apology can be d scoverrd in the
work of any statesman or moralist of any age
or country, and yet it called forth the ''willes
enthusiasm" The following that these men
can command in the United S ates should not
only be a minority; it is the duty of all good
men to see that it is a small minority.

a Wonderful Game OF Billlarda
From the Chicago Journal 18th.

The much talked Of match game between
John McDevitt, Of Chicago. and Joseph
Dion of Montreal, fo- the billiard champ>
lonshlp OF America, was played last night,
according to announcement, at Library
Hall, in this city. 1t was the most remark
able game Of billiards ever played in this
or any other country, embracing in its rec
ord the greatest run" ever made.
Library hall was thronged with some q
600 people to witness the great confess, aud
very orderly asseMblage it was. At S:l5
p. NJ the players banked for the choice Of
balls and lay off. McDevitt won both, chose
the white, and sent it to the upper right
hand corner. Dion failed to count. The
leave afforded McDevitt run of %. Dion
folwcd with failure McDcvitt did like
wise. Then Dion, in the third inning, got
the two reds against the right cushion and
nursed them in that position to yield of
26l. McDevitt's play subsequently, was
unlucky easy shots presented themselves,
but he failed to secure counts. In the sew
enth innings Dion made run Of 7S, from
the leave. DcDevitt failed to count In
the eighth inning the call stood, Dion $40;
McDevitt A. In Dion's ninth inning he
made run of SO, ann then missed, leaving
the balls in favorable position near the
upper end of the table. This was McDev>
tits opportunity, and he seized it, making
the greatest run ever recorded--jaw bar
red-scoring ,460 points, and finished the
game.
To attempts description of the scsne as
each suggestive hundred vas turned and
announced, is not our intention 1t beg
gars description. A breathlcss silence fol
lowed the count Of tho scorer up through
the tens till the hundred vas reached,
when the enthusiastic otaiors.woudc cheer
and applaud till the ve~y building trembed.
And thus it went to the end, which was
soon reached the entire game occupying
but one hour and forty miRutes, McDevitG
making his great run of |, AGO points in
one hour and five minutes, being at tho
rate OF q ID points per minute.

A Lie Nailed.

The Smut Machine, last week, said that
while travelling, some one told the light
Drained editor that Mr.. Villas had made a
speech just before the Democratic Conven-
ton met, in which he claimed to be worth
n million of dollars" and further remarke d
that "we are going to nominate him
against SAWYER, and we II show you what
money can do" Now, the friends of Mr..
Villas know that that statement is fat
lie from first to last. And to those who do
not know Mr.. Villas personally, we say
that Mr.. Villas up to the time of the
meeting of the Democratic Convention that
nominated HIM, had not made public
speech in three years-but no one can fail
to see what is intended to be accomplished
by this false statement. 1t Is a matter of
spublic notoriety that Mr.. SAWYER has
heretofore bought his election, and it is
we'll known now that the people have be-
come disgusted with that mode of obtain
ing Office and this charge is made in order
to have the iniquity Of such course apply
TO Mr. Villas as well as to Mr.. SAWYER,
and in order to have Mr.. SAWYER come
down more largely than before to the
leeches who have sucked him on like oc-
casions.

St. LOUIS, Sept. ~.
A Pond City, Kansas, letter says the re-

Sunken Treasure.

From the Cincinnati Chronicle, Sept L.
It will be remembered that in February
1866, the magnificent steamer, w. R. Car
ter, Of the Atlantic & Mississippi line, ex-
ploded, with fearful loss Of life and tres-
sure, about twenty miles above Vicksburg,
on the Mississippi river. After the explo-
sion the vessel took fire and the upper
works were partially burned, after which
the hull swung round to the Arkansas
shore and sank in water seventy feet deep.
On the vessel in charge of the messenger,
Mr.. Gray, who was lost, was a safe, of the
Adams Express Company, containing
$3.50, 900 in National currency. Owing to
the great depth of water, and the usual dc.
posit of mud under which the Father of
Waters laid the wreck, the many attempts
of the Company heretofore to recover the
money have been in vain. But still hope
ing against hope, and working with the
energy and perseverance that always char
acterlzes their movements, the company
have at last the satisfaction of recovering
the safe and contents, partially injured, of
course, by their long submergence under
the waters and mud of the Mississippi.
The money, Of which $500, 900 belongs to
the United States Treasury, and the re-
mainder to parties in Memphis, was taken
from the wreck few days since by the
New Orleans Wrecking Company, and is
in charge of the agent Of the company at
Vicksburg.

Saturday. The following particulars have
been teegraphed from Bainbridge, "a miles
from tho scene of the riot Pierce, the radi-
cal nominee for congress, and Murphy, the
ex-bureau agent, with about 20 negroes,
armed and equipped, started on Friday for
Camilla, with three weeks provisions and
boxes Of new arms and aceoutrements, their
intention being to oyerawe citizens. Before
starting, some friendly negro exposed their
plans, and . negro courier was dispatched
to Camilla to inform the citizens what was
gcing on. A deputation of three promi-
nent citizens met the mob at church FIVE
miles from town. The governor S procla-
nation forbidding armed organizations was
read. The mob paid no attention to it.,
and determined to march on again. The
depusation demonstrated, entreating the
negroes to come in without arms, and they
should not be molesied. Their efforts were
fruitless to dissuade the negroes, and the
mob ~ arched into the town, with banners
flying and drums beating, They now num-
bered 45O many having Joined them on the

menced, the mob firing at every one they

The mob was vigorously attacked, driven
back and, panic stricken, took to fight.
The negroes were pursued 6vo miles, losing

Camilla was quiet.
AUGUSTA, Ga Sept 2l--The news OF
the riot at Camilla caused some excitement
hore. It is known that the negroes arc
armed through the state, but the whites
have no serious fears of disturbance, if
the negroes are not precipitated into riots
through pernicious counsels and violent ap
peals to their passions.

DESTRUCTIVE EFIRE.-About l o'clock on
Wednesday morning our citizens were
aroused from their slumbers by the alarm
of fire, which..rroved to in be the store of
Mr.. JOHN f. ZINNs, on the south side of
the river. No cause is known as to its ori-
gin, and SO quick and destructive were the
flames that two sons of Mr. ZINNs, who
slept in the building--EDwARD and ALI
BERT-had hard work to escape with their
lives. We regret to say that Mr.. ZINNs
lost everything in the building, including
aefne stock of dry goods, groceries, books,
accounts, sc. We have not learned the
amount Of his loss, which must be consid-
cradle, notwithstanding his insurance was
$4,000 on the goods, and 81 900 on the
building
The building adjoining that of Mr..
ZINNs was owned and occupied by Mr.
FRED. HECKER as a residence and -four
and feed store. This was not destroyed
but badly damaged Mr. Ii. lost consider
able in the removal of his goods and furni-
ture. His insurance was 81 COO on build
ing, and $500 on furniture. The fire de
partment performed excellent work.

n. Bishop, for many years an active rector
in The Episcopal church of this state and
in Chicago. Some months:go MIR. Bishop
left this country for tour on the continent
where he was smitten down with sun
stroke, taken to Paris and there died. He
was native of Ohio, and FIRST settled We
think at Mantle voc, in this state. From
there he went to Kenosha, where he was dis
tinguished for his never firing energy in
church work. From kenosha he weat to
Chicago aud founded new church society.
now one of the most fouri8hing in that do
ceso. He was admirably qualified for mis-.
sicnary work, and the entire absence of any
undue affectation, formality and reserve in
his social and religious intercourse with

influential with all classes. In his death a
good and true man has passed to his re-
ward. .-MIUdukee NeWS.

Terrible Accident.
From the Madison Journal eth,

We are indebted to Hon. l.. d. Hastings,
who was at the Hospital for the Insane 1t
the time, for the particulars Of terrible
and fatal accident which occurred there
about noon to day.
A boiler was purchased short time since
of David Burns, of fort Howard, opposite
Green Bay, and was set up in the wash
house, which is at some distance from the
main building. On getting steam up in the
boiler, short time since, defect was dis
covered and the maker notified, who sent =
man to but it in order. He had finished
the work and steam vas got up in the boiler
to test it, this forenoon, when it exploded,
instantly killing James Doyle, the engineer,
lnjurlDg the man (name unknown) sent
from Green Bay to repair the boiler so that
he died in half an hour, and SO fearfully
scalding the fireman, Norwegian named
Frank Carslen, that his recovery is impos-
sible, though when last heard from no
fingered in great agony. No one else waa
injured. The building was but little dam
aged, as the boiler was blown through ita
side endwuys.
