THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to
the rehabilitation Of the South in its former
prosperity-is offered to subscribers at the
low rate of 81. so for six months.
The annals of the American Republic
show no political campaign comparable in
the magnitude of its issues and the mo-
nervousness OF its results to that for the
Presidency, now pending. Indeed, the
very life Of free government is on trial,
and it will be sad commentary on the
capacity of the people for the exercise of
that high trust il they, the jurors who are
to try the issue, pronounce verdict of
self-condomnation. If tho South has any
hope it is in the success of the Democratic
party in the coming Presidential election;
and every citizen is vitally interested in
the progress OF the battle, and cannot
afford to be without sound and reliable
newspaper.
AS an organ, not only of sound Demo-
cratic principles, but as vehicle Of ge-
neral news, the CLEANER is confidently
commended to Southern support. A. large
eight-page paper, of forty-eight columns,
respondents, the daily wealth of tele-
graphic communication and readable edi-
torials. Especially will it be valuable as
an organ to disahnse the Northern mind
OF the falsehoods in relation to Southern
thought and actions, with which it is the
industrious vocation of certain parties to
poison the springs of Northern feeling on
| Southern subjects. In this view of the
matter, no more valuable aid to the true
reconstruction of the country and restora-
tion Of just sentiment at the North toward
the South can be rendered than by sub
scribing to the WEEKLY CLEANER and
sending it to acquaintar ces and friends in
the Northern States.
We ask the aid of such of our political
comrades as shall see this prospectus, in
the distribution of the paper; especially
during the progress of the impending
campaign.
The WEEKLY CLEANER is published
every Wednesday morning, and mailed to
single Subscribers at $500 per alum; Six
Months. i$1.50; Three Months, 7So.; Single
Copies, 10c. Sample copies will be sent
on receipt Of address. Money for sub
sctiption should be sent in drafts oripost

still fighting, over the bluff. When
the charge was sounded, portion of
my men went down there under the
bluff, and charged those who jumped
down the bank. AS soon as we were
in the works, I turned one of their
six pieces of artillery upon the gun
boat, which I saw was preparing to
giving us a volley, my shot striking
her on the wheel-house. While this
firing was going on, my men under
the bluff, seeing the flag still waving,
kept up the fight; and it was not

This saw the taking-and now for the

seventy men, who were wounded, on
the gun boats, and then sent to
,Demopolis, Mississippi, for exchange,
seven officers and 219 men, making
292 men in all, who. survived the
capture. But, in addition to this,
forty-four or forty-ive negroes were
taken by my young men and returned

From time, whereof the memery of man

their own bitters, and few thought of eat

when prohibitory laws were unknown, and,
in consequence, liquors wero pure Deal

A CASE OF PRAcTIcAL CHRISTIANITY
A youth recently fell asleep in a
church in a neighboring city. The
minister, noticing the circumstance
made some remarks about it at the
moment, which the sleeper did not hear;
but as many of his friends did, it was
not long before he heard of it. In his
indignation he declined to attend that
church again. One of the members of
the congregation, learning the facts of
the case. a at loss how to counteract
the bad effect upon the boys mind of
this public mention o. bis fault, and
took this novel method: Engaging a
pew and paying the rent for a year, he
sent the number of it to the youth
with his compliments, begging him to
give him the pleasure OF seeing it occu-
pied on Sundays by himself and any
young friends he could induce to come.
also that sis name as p~ew-holder would
be placed in the diagram for that pur-
dose at tie door. Such n man ought
to have a thousand boys to love aim.

A MoTHER's LovE.-The love Of a
mother is never exhausted, it never
tires. A father may turn his back on
his child, brothers and sisters may be-
come inveterate enemies, husbands may
desert their wives, wives Their husbands.
But n mothers love endures through
all, in good repute, in bad repute, in
the face Of the worlds condemnation, a
mother still loves on, and still hopes
that her child may turn from his evil
ways and repent; still she remembers
the infant smiles that once filled her
bosom With rapture, the merry laugh
the joyful shout Of his childhood, the
opening promise of his youth; and she
never can be brought to think him all
unworthy.

Religion that does not 60 with us
in our daily vacations, controlling and
guiding us, is OF little value. We
should not make it obtrusive or ill.,
timed in any of its manifestations, but
our hearts should be so thoroughly i'm
bued with the Spirit Of Christ as to
cause every act, in it's own quiet way,
to show forth the foundation principles
of our life, and, speak a stronger
language for the Master than our direct
words. 1t is in our worldly business,
in our every day life, that our religion
is needed, if anywhere, both in it's effect
on ourselves, and on those with whom
We are brought in contract.
