SAMBO HE MOVES SOUTH
wARD.-A writer in the New
York Tribune says that for some
time past the trains going South
from Richmond have been "crowd-
cd with colored people emigra-
ting to the cotton, rice and sugar
country" and he adds:
"The movement of the negroes
to the tar South, under the in
ducements of a more genial eli
mate and high wages, is assum-
ing large proportions. They do
not ali go directly to the cotton
field or sugar plantations-fve
hundred, for instance, being call
ed for, and rapidly responding, to
work on the Chattanooga rail-
road.'

WENDELL PHILLIPS ON THE

"the man who furnishes the Re-

out with characteristic double
loaded editorial in the Anti-Sla-

We are floating away from the
keen and angry devotion to tho
one great question of the war

mischief will result. Several Of
the Southern States, most of them
will fall at first into rebel hands.
= The Administration is
guilty of cruel neglect. The gar

cessor, it has voluntarily put on.
It needs no future hour
to show that it has. broken a ma
TONS pledges to the loya! men of
the South, and basely left them,
unshielded, to their enemies. No
financial success will ever give
such idlers and fops, the credit Of

betrayers of those who trusted
them; guilty of blood, and as
having shattered away the noblest
opportunities-this will be the re-
cord of their history.

PETTY THIEyING IN HIGT

PETTY THIEyING IN HIGH
PLACEs.-One of the boldest
pieces of petty thieving perpe-
trated under authority from
Washington, during the past year,
was that involved in Senator
Ramsey's mission to Paris, under
pretense of negotiating a new
postal treaty. The negotiation
failed, of course, but Ramsey has
had his free trip to Europe, at
cost Of some nine thousand dol
lars in gold. We have bad a reg
ular Minister to France all this
time, and as he has nothing at all
else to do, it would certainly have
been possible for him to learn
that Imperial Government would
not accept the terms Ramsey was
sent out to offer; for that knowl-
edge could have been had at any
moment for the asking. The
whole affair is in the last degree
scandulous; and, if so many other
congressman had not spent the
summer in disporting themselves
at the peoples expense, we should
expect that the two Houses would
unite in a formal vote of censure
upon proceeding SO palpably
dishonest.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

TWO PIONEERS.
AUDUBON AND DANIEL BOONE.

Es
In the recently published "Life
of Audubon" is an account of an
interview with Daniel Boone, the
Kentucky Pioneer, at Frankfort
in that State:
sWhile at the town of Frank
fort (about the year 1927 Audu-
bon had an opportunity of seeing
the celebrated Daniel Boone
"barking squirrels" or, in a less
technical phrase, driving them
out of their places by firing into
the bark of the tree Immediately
! beside the position they crouch
into. Audubon went out with
Boone to see the sport, and writes:
We walked out together, and
followed the rocky margins of the
Kentucky river until we reach a
piece of flat land thickly covered
with black walnuts, oaks and
hickories. AS the mast was a
good one that year, the squirrels
we're seen gamboiling on every
tree around us. My companion,
stout, hale, athletic man, dress
ed in q homespun hunting shirt,
|.barelegged and mOccasined, car
ried a long and heavy rifle, which
as he was loading il, he said had
proved efficient in all his under
takings, and which he hoped
would not fall ON this occasion,
as he felt proud to show me his
skill. The gun was wiped, the
powder measured, the ball patch
ed with six hundred thread, and
the charge sent home with hick-
DRY rod.
We moved not a step from the
place, for the squirrels were so
numerous that it was unnecessary
to 90 after them. Boone pointed
to one of these animals which had
observed us, and was crouched
on a branch about fifty PAGES dis
tant. and bade me mark we'll the
sDot where the ball should hit.
He raised his piece gradually un-
til the bead (that being the name
given by the Kentuckians to the
sight) of the barrel was brought
to a line with the spot which he
intended to hit, and fired.
7 was astounded to find that
the ball had hit the piece of bark
Immediately beneath the squirrel
and shivered it to splinters, the
concussion produced by which
had killed the animal, and sent it
whirling through the air, as it
had been blowed up.
The snufing of q candle with
ball had an opportunity OF see
ing near the banks of Green river,
not far from a large pigeon roost,
to which I had previously made a
visit. I heard many reports of
guns during the early part of
a dark night, and knowing them
to be those of rifles, I went to-
ward the spot to ascertain the
cause. On reaching the place l
was welcomed by a dozen of tall,
stout men, who told me they were
exercising for the purpose of en-
ablino, them to shoot under night
at the reflected light from the eye
of q deer or a wolf by torchlight.
At a distance Of fifty PAGES
stood q lighted candle, badly dis
tinguished in the darkness. One
man was placed within a few
wards of it, to watch the effects Of
the shots, as well as to light the
candle, should it chance to go out,
or repair it should the shot cut it
across.
Each marksman shot in his
turn. Some never hit either the
snuff or the candle. One of them,
who was particularly expert, was
very fortunate, and snuffed the
candle three times out of seven,
whilst all the other shots either
mt out the candle, or cut it i'm
mediately under the light.''

What will We do with our Victory

What will We do with our Victory?
ALBANY, November 6.-Gov-
ernor Hoffman last night, in the
course of his speech, in response
to a serenade by the Jackson
ians,' said:
I notice that most of the Radi-
cal papers i'm Albany and New
York are asking, "What will they
do with it?-that is the victory -
I am hardly disposed to tell them
just yet. L prefer to give them a
little time to digest the returns;
and when these are fully digested
we propose to give them some in
formation as to what we will do
with it. In my observations I
have found that knowledge sud-
denly acquired is never very pro-
fitable. But I will tell them in
general terms one or two things
we propose to do. We propose
to make, the legislature of the
State of New York honest, and
that is what they have not done
in some time. We propose to use
the legislature for the purpose of
promoting the interests of the
mass of the people, and not the
interests of the few, which the
Radicals have not done in long
time. The Evening Journal has
stated that for many years there
have been a few men in the re-
publican Legislatures who can be
bought. We will show them that
in a democratic legislature there
will he none of that kind. We
propose to give to the people of
the State Of New York, all over,
the right Of self-government. We
propose to abolish such laws as
infringe upon the rights of locali-
ties and secure to them the right
to govern themselves. We will
not abolish such laws and give
the people something worse, but
will give them better laws. We
propose to make the State ofNew
York and the government in all
it's branches thoroughly demo-
cratic. I am aware of the res
possibilities this victory imposes
on me as executive of this State.
I realize their magnitude, and 1
will not say I have no fear Of
them. But by the help of the
people and their representatives,
and all the good counsel L can
get, I hope, in my sphere, to so
discharge it's duties that the peo-
pie will approve my action. 1
believe that the Legislature, which
is about to assemble and legislate
on the affairs of this great State,
will act with such wisdom and
discretion as to show to the peo-
pie of the State and country that
the democracy of this State can
be as moderate in the hour of
victory as they have been patient
in the hour of defeat. We will
be discreet and tolerant; we will
recognize honest men among our
adversaries; we will deal justly,
act honorably, and promote the
great interests Of the people of
the State OF New York who have
demanded and worked q change.

Mosby personally, will bear testi-
mony to the fact that he is one of

Little Rock, Pine Bluff and New Or
leans Railroad.

The vital Importance of this sub
.ject, both to the present and
future welfare of our country, j US
titles sandu1emands all the attention
which il by be in our power to
give. In our last number we al
luded to eligibility of the route,
the immense improvement to the
country, and the smallness of the
cost Of the construction of the
above, on the line from Pine Bluff,
112 miles due south, by Monticel-
10 and Hamburg. Also, the prac-
ticably, the inaccessible region of
country through which it will
pass, the smallness of the benefit
resulting to the public, and the
immense cost of the construction
of the above road on the line from
Pine Bluff to Vicksburg, desig-
mated as the level road.
These facts appear so conclu-
sive, that it ought not to require
anything more than a candid,
impartial investigation of the To-
cation of the country, it's great
resources and it's immediate wants,
to satisfy any unprejudiced mind
of their actual existence.
Notwithstanding these points
are so very obvious to every citi-
zen in the counties of Drew, Ash
ley Bradley, Union, Calhoun and
Dallas, yet their best efforts will
avail nothing unless they are
dictated and confirmed by the in
dividuals composing the controll-
ing power of the enterprise. 1t
seems that the whole object to be
accomplished by the construction
of the level road, and the only
argument that ever has or ever
! can be used in it's favor, is, that
it will reclaim a large quantity of
swamp land.
The building. of railroads for
the purpose of reclaiming over
flowed land is surely an invention
of the present age, and that it be
made profitable or beneficial to
the public interest is certainly a
discovery Of recent date. The
building of the levee road would
no doubt enable q few capitalists
to settle and cultivate large farms
and to ship their produce with
great facility to cities at a dis
tance, at which they would sell
the same and purchase their en-
tire supplies for supporting their
farms, by which course their pat
ronage would aid in building up
the trade of the cities at Il dis
tance and impoverish our own
country. So great is the anxiety
to improve and build UP the
country, that we think that the
voters in this county would vote
in favor of levying a tax (although
there is some complaint Of high
taxes) were it necessary, and
could they be assured that it
would be applied to the construc-
ton of the road from Pine Bluff
by Monticello and Hamburg.-
And if any steps were taken that
would give any assurance of it's
construction, the citizens of LOU
isiana will act Immediately, and
continue the road from the state
line, direct to New Orleans. We
cannot say at present, but for the
sake Of the interest involved, we
suggest, entreat and urge our
leading men to examine the mer-
it of the points to which we al
lude.-Homburg (Arh.) Times.
