A Good Address.

We have been favored with q copy
of the oration, delivered at the Parkers-
burg Fourth of July celebration by
OKEY JOHNSON, ESQ.,, of that city, Its
perusal afforded US great pleasure. It'll
entirely free from the trashy buncombe
and the partisanism which so frequently
find expression upon sHch occasions,
and breathes nothing bat the purest
patriotic sentiment. We have heard
the address highly spoken of and are
glad to be able to add our own tes-
timoRy as to its high merit. If such
erations were more common upon Fourth
of July occasions, the old interest IN
our National anniyersar; might soon be
revived.

Malignant Donkey.

There is malignant old donkey
named Holden, in North Carolina, who,
among other of Mr.. Johnson's prepos-
ferrous bluuders in the early days Of his
administration, WAS dragged from the
ohscurity of the turpentiue region, and
made Provisional Governor of the State.
The negroes have since sanctioned the
choice of their cx-Moses by electing
Holden Governor of the reconstructed
State; and now he comes out with a
lengthy editorial in 4 scrubby paper he
publishes in Releigh, and nominates
himself for Vice President on the ticket
with General Grant in 1872. The mod
csty Of the proposition is positively
amazing; the only wonder is that he did
not name himself for the first office.
Aud it is but justice to the tar-heeled
statesman to add, that at present he
would stand a pretty fair chance for the
nomination over the man to whom he
s,e'us the preference, provided the
,u"''e ot the Radicals were limited TO
"'i"sch or Graut.-EHqairer.

OUR CANDIDATES.
The nomination of General Rosecrans
was certainly unexpected by us. Not
that we have ever regarded him unfa-
voraoly as candidate, for we have
seen much IN him that made him not
only available, but strong. But we con-
fcss that until the great demonstration
of enthusiasm in his behalf, whenever
his name was mentioned in the Conven-
ton, yesterday, We had no idea that his
popularity was so general throughout
the State. We accept him with great
cheerfulness as our standard bearer. and
fully believe that the result of the Oc-
tooer election will demonstrate the
wisdom OF the selection. The people

magnanimity unprecedented ia the his.
tory OF political parties; they will see
that the Democracy are devoted to the
principles which they believe necessary
to the salvation of the country, and that
TO secure the success of these PRINCIPLES
they are prepared TO sacrifice all per.
ssnai preferences as to candidates, and
to overlook the claims of tried and
trusted members of the party orgauiza.
tion. We have so long and so persist
emily advocated this course that il is
unnecessary for us now to ATTEMPT n
justification of it. Every reason that
urged us TO support General Cary for the
nomination, urges US now to support the
election Of General Rosecrans. we have
only desired such a candidate as would
secure the concentration of the consery-
atiye men of all parties in his favor.
and feel assured that We have such an
one in General Rosecrans. We can not
see a single point that the Republicans
can make against him to prevent the
discontented thousands in their ranks
from voting with us. He was the espe-
cial pet and favorite General of the Ga
sette aud Commercial during the war.
We have only to copy from the files of
these journals to prove him brave and
accomplished soldier, and high-toned
and worthy gentleman. His only ene-

NV was General Grant, who, at an early
stape of the war, saw in him rival
destined to eclipse him, and, perhaps, to
snnercede him as the chief officer of the
Southwest, and who immediately de,
termined to- impede bis progress and
destroy his influence. That he succeed
ed ia we'll known-and how he succeed
ed will be fully shown before the close
of the campaign. Recently, General
Grant has crowned his personal animos-.
ity still further, by removing General
Rosecrans from the Mexican mission
to make way for an Indiana politician.

Senator Sprague recently purchased
the Columbia (South Carolina) Canal,
and it is stated in Columbia paper that
his agenthas commenced making q sur

deepening it. The Charleston Netcs
says: ave hope that this may be true;
but after all that has been said of Sena-
tor Sprague's enterprising intentions
concerning the development of the man
ufacturing resources of South Carolina,
we would rather hear more of active op-
erations and less of magnificent prom

Bad Work iu Tennessee.

They are going on sadly in Tennessee.
SENTER is appointing Democratic reg
iStrars, and they are enrolling all the
qualified voters. STOKES has procured
the interference of the Courts, and OBJ
tanned injunctions to stop the abomina-
BILE registration machine, which he con-
tends was intended to take mems votes
away, not enfranchise them. SENTER
responds by sending troops to protect
his registrars, and from what we have
seen of the bayOnet business, it is rather
probable that the Courts will have to
subsidc.
This is all very naughty; many Demo.
Gratis in West Virginia know it to be so,
for they have had practical experience
of something in the same liue. lfthere
is any evil they can witness with sub
lime patience, it is the back action of
the registration machine, as it slaugh-
tiers its old managers. Then SENTER
has famous argument to back him.
"Self-protection" is tho doctrine under
which he works. If "self.protection"
was a sound pretext for the Stokesites
when they controlled the franchise law,
we don't see how it can be bad one for
SENTER now that he has charge of the
guillotine. From present appearances
he will go ON with his arrangements for
"self.protection" until the supremely
'loyap of Tennessee will curse the hour
they perfected this disfranchsing
scheme which now returns to plague
the inventors. Possibly by that time
they will be willing to cry quits and to
extend to every other white man the
same privileges they claim for them
selves.

Preserving ERRs.

A Parisian paper recommends the fol-
lowing method for preservation of eggs:
Dissolve four ounces of beeswax in
eight ounces of warm olive oil; in this
put the tip of the finger and annoint the
egg all around. The oil will immedi.
ately be absorbed by the shell and the
the pores filled up by the wax. If kept
in a cool place, the eggs, after two
years, will be as good as if fresh laid.

"A GlganfIn Land Slide.

ALBANY, August 1.-THE town of
Stockport, In this county, was the
scene of considera bic excitement this
week, on account of a gigantic land
slide, and thousands have visited the
spot. The place where the phenome
non occurred is located on an old post
road, near the confluence of Kinder
hook and Clava Rock, about FIVE miles
North of this city. 1t comprises
nearly five acres, and was an eleva-
9tloD about dry ravine. A hill inter
venes between this ravine and a creek
on the East and North, of little less
than the altitude ct that which oayed
in. The crash took place at about
haIf-past six O'Clock last Monday af-
ternoon. The movement was gradual
and the surface of the earth undu-
lated like the waves of the ocean.
No noise was heard until the NOV
ing mass struck the base OF the inter
vening hill, when there was sduil
rumbling sound resembling distant
thunder, and quivering sensation
like a slight shock of earthquake,
The earth caved in to the distance 0i
over. eighty feet, and the surface, as
indicated By the trees and fences
moved a distance of over six hundred
feet. So gradual was the movement
that it occupied about half an hour,
and the sight is des"~'''-

fact that an oak tree which stood b!

the ravine, a distaneeiof six hundret
feet, and the tree and fence now stan,
as firm and upright as ever. .aa
