POLITICAL DEATH OF RADICAL
I..# ..U.. ... ISM.

We hold it to be a truism of histo-
~, that all governments, political
powers and parties, and all extensive
influences and policies that partake
of national character, invariably go
down, or are overthrown, when they
cease to benefit mankind, or when
thc:- leaders AMI directors disregard
ing the laws and demands of human
progress, and of human nature, either
cling to old forms of tyranny, or to
exploded and impossible theories of
unlicensed liberty. Tyranny breeds
revolt and war, and they are usually
directed by fanatics and impractical,
BILE theori.ers who push their forces
beyond the bounds of common sense
and the protection of social rights
and liberties-when they are desert,
ed by their followers and abandoned
to oblivion, or toa memory Of shame.
Such was France in the bloody ordeal
through which her RobeSplerreS and
Dantous lead her-and such is the
United States nOw-when the people
frightened at the dangerous lengths
to which the selfstyled patriots Of
the North have led them-are draw
ing back appalled, at the dark CULTS
before them, and at the wild and FL
rious anarchy which threatens the
nations peace and the peaceful reign
Of lawn the departures made and
proposed from Constitutional law
and liberty, II the masses of the
Northern States had continued true
to their leadership, who can tell to
what ends the master minds of Radi
calism would have led them! I'll
Thaddeus Stevens could have done
the deed, he would have hurled us
all to hell, and turning to his praying
constituency, praised the Lord, and
said: go God, in this, thou hast
made the wrath of man to praise
thec.' And Sumner would have |
bound us all in chains, and worked
the whole Southern army in gangs
through Northern streets.
These are two of the many leaders |
of this party they had private gretS
to aSsuage-Stevens still mournS for
his iron works, and Summers back is |
still tender from his Gaming; but the
schemes and plans Of these and all
their ilk have gan ag'ee," and wiser,
truer and better men, will soon stand
at the helm, and God forefend that
this country should ever again be
cursed by the misrulc, criminal folly
and devilish malice, of their like
again. Peace is desirable, and we OF
these States have learned to appre-
clate its value; and had there been
no change in the North, there would
nave been here: for though the South
ern people are patient and of long
forbearance, yet the future which
RadicaliSm was preparing for the
South was as fruitful of war and
bloOdieSt strife, as the human heart {
of love of liberty. I
From out the great North have t,
rung the clarion shouts of victory i
the victory of truth-the triumph OF
tue Constitution, and Constitutional q
liberty, and ere long the grateful
shouts of nation disenthraled and !,
redeemed from slavery worse than :
death, will rend the heavens, and the Il
North American Republic be saved t
from degradation and infamy to d
which Mechanism we're preferable :,
but from which in the death of Radi- n
caliSm we are delivered. o

ALittle Story About Grant.

A correspondent furnishes us with
the following incident. illustrating
one of the leading traits IL the char
acter of our future President:
During the Petersburg campaign Of
1864, several privates were engaged IN
unloading barrels of salt horse
from a transport at City Point, and
were in charge Of a Lieutenant of a
New York regiment, who took every
occasion to show his authority. To
one of his abusive remarks one of the
pprivates made reply, whereupon the
Lieutenant administered severe kicks
to the offender, who offered no resist
ance, but continued on with his work.
Al short. thick-set man, wearing a
slouched hat aud a rather seedy Off
GERS cloak, who had been standing by
for some time, hereupon threw off his
cloak and coal aud proceeded to help
to unload the transport. After the
task was accomplished, the officer
sdonned his coat and cloak and asked
the Lieutenant, in very civil terms, his
lame and regiment. Ha4atE
Lieutenant -, of the -, New
York volunteers. BY what authority
do you dare ask such a question:?
Report yourself Immediately to
your Colonel under arrest, by order of
General Grant, for cruelty to your
men, and remember that abuse of
privates by officers is not tolerated by
the pre- ent commander of this army
replied the " thick-set" officer, light
ing a cigar and walking away.

The Loeusts.

The description DR.. Smith gives of
the first appearance of the seventeen
year" locusts. above ground, and of
their transition to the winged state,
is as interesting as it is minute, and
has been found to be correct upon ex-
animation and observation. He says:
When they come up from the earth
always about daylight or a little be-
fore-they Immediately climb the first
object they meet with-a tree, a bush,
or stake, anything-two or three feet.
They then lay hold of the bark, fix
ing themselves firmly by the claws,
and commence working themselves
out of their old shell, which is done
by rupturing themselves on the back
between the shoulders, and drawing
themselves out. As soon as they get
fairly out they seize bold of the old
she'll with their claws, raise them
se.yes and begin to expand their
wings. Their bodies aud wings at
this time are exceedingly delicate,
| white and moist; but a few minutes
exposure to the air dries and hardens
them, SO that by the time the sun has
IalrIV risen bn6y art pSIlSCb duu Sdu
fly. The wings before sloughlng, are
beautifully folded up, and it is a beau
tiful sight to see them unfolded, and
in a few minutes changed from the
most soft and delicate tissue, to the
firm and rigid wing Of the perfect in
Lsect. IF it be a wet or very cloudy
day, they are apt to perish in the
operations of sloughing and drying.
1t would be curious to imagine the
nature of that instinct which prompts
the insect to The effort to burst the
barriers Of its outer covering for the
attainment Of a new state of exist
ence. & Still more SO to imagine the
joy and delight with which it must
enter upon its AERIAL life, SO different
from the dull, dark. and half torpid
existence which it passed under
ground, during the previous seven
teen years. The imaginative Or eeks
typifed by this species of transition,
the change which takes place with
man, when the soul. passing from its
earthly existence, enters upon a splr,
itual life, and realizes the glories and
! splendors of a happy Immortality.

Taxation.

The Democratic press and the
grog-shop noodles who, in the inter-
walls of their potations, harangue the
unterri6ed who most do congregate
there, are very loquacious upon the
subject Of high taxes, and economy in
the public expenditures. Now, let US
see what are the facts in comparing
the rate of taxation for county pur-
poses in. the several counties of this
State where the affairs of the county
are in the hands of Democrats and
those where the Republicans bear
rule. In October last the State Au-
ditor addressed a series of questions
to the several County Auditors, for
the purpose of ascertaining the rate
of taxation from 1860 to 1867, and for
other purposes. The facts obtained
have been compiled into a table, and
from It we gather the fact that in the
counties where the Democrats had
control for a long series of years, the
taxes are much the highest. Take
for instance the counties of Allen,
Dubois, Floyd. and Knox.

nsa Since oIr reference few DAYS

Efa, Since orr reference few days
since, to the Strengthening, or deepen
ing, or widening of the Elizabeth River
from the Broad street bridge to the
outlet of the Sound, we have been ad-
dressed by business men and others
interested IN the growth and prosperity
of our city, that nothing could or would
prove of more advantage than the pro-
posed plan. in order to allow better
navigation. The river $50 called at
present is no more than a ditch-only
serving to carry off the refuse from our
sewers. We trust that the parties who
have received permission from the Leg
islature to make these improvements,
will at once avail themselves of the
immense advantage to be gained by
the fulfillment of the proposed plan.
At the present time our masons are
sustaining losses, simply because the
railroad companies are unable to furn-
ish the necessary transportation for the
immense quantity of brick and other
materials needed by them. We believe
that the creek, converted into canal
would prove of incalculable value to
those doing business here, and that
our manufactures would soon be doub-
led, and Elizabeth become the first city
in the State for wealth and enterprise.
We feel tempted to offer to take o few
thousand dollars worth of stock in the
proposed canal, so great is our faith in
the success which is likely to follow its
building. Let books be opened for
subscribers, and thus give our citizens
an opportunity of testifying Il practi-
cal qualification at the prospect.
