Tho Feclinr Of iho Sonlll

In the Niles Register wo find n manly
card from VIM. II. Peck, the hondo of the
Ooll-Iingore. We copy IL because IL does
moro honor TO his honesty, from tho fact
that he will not probably 20 on a southern
tour; aud IL was moro from n genao OF ms
tice than from any interested reason that
he speaks as follows:
In completing his thirtieth annual tour;
the undersigned, in behalf Of the Peak and
Berger families boll-ringors, bogs leave 90
return his thanks TO tho public generally,
and particularly TO the people and press of
the southern states, for the very kind and
ilattering reception and liberal patronage
which they have everywhere accorded 10
him during tho past sonson. As There ia
much apprehension existing i'm tho minds
of northern people regarding the truth rs
to tho reception northern people would
meet with should thoy visit that section,
j can honestly state as the result of my
observations during our extended tour Of
over six months through tho states of Ten
nosseo, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, that the
storieso of outmges 30 frequently seen in the
northern papers are, generally emnnations
from the brains Of ovil-minded persons,
written for effect and having no founda-
ton In fact. The southern people, gener-
ally, arc as well disposed towards, will treat
as kindly, and welcome as cordially, any
and all well disposed persons who may
como among thom either ~ permanent set
tiers or ~ transient visitors, as would tho
people from any other section Of our com
non country. They have suffered a good
deal during tho past few years and have by
no means recovered from the effects of tho
war, but they arc hopeful fortho future,
and 10 NIL we'll meaning people they will
extend tho right hand of friendship, irres-
pcctivo Of the section of tho country from
which said people may como,

Scottish Surnnmes.

The clanship of Scotland (says an Eng
lish paper has tended 10 limit tho number
Of surnames in that country. A hundred
and fifty surnancH represent nearly half
the entire three millions of population.
First in number in Scotland, as in Eng
land, stand the cosmopolitan Smiths; but
Jones, the namo which occupies the Soc
ond place in England, is 'nowhere" in
Scotland. MDonald is second in Scot
land; and then follow Brown, Thomson,
Robertson, Stewart, Campbell, Wilson and
Anderson. DIR. Stark, of tho Registry Office,
has asoertained that the registers of births
in 1868 shows these 10 be tho nino strong
est surnames in Scotland, and tho Same re-
suit was obtained on q former occasion
from an examination of the registers of
births, deaths and marriages in 1866, 1856
and 1858. Scott is the tenth namo upon
the birth register of 1868, followed by
Miller, MKon2ie, Reid, Ross, M'Kay,
Johnston, Murray, Clark, Paterson, Young,
the spelling sometimes varying n little in
different families. In the list obtained
from the registers Of 1856, 1856 and 1868,
Fraser and Maclean had place among the
first twenty, and Clark aud Young were a
l~ittleIower on the roll.

in certain parts of tho country. The Nc
DOnalds arc very strong in Iyernoss, and
also, indeed, in Ross and CrOmarty; but
the McKinzies outnumber them i'm Ross
and Cromarty. Tho McKays ~prepondemto
in Cnithness and Sunderland; tho McLooda
in Ross and Oromarty; the McLoans arc
pretty generally divided among tho three
counties of Argyll, Iycmoss and Ross.
Nearly one-third of tho Mcintosh births
occur in Iyornoss, Marin, Elgn and Ban0i
tho most numerous section of the Nc,
Grogors il in Perthshire, where, also, the
Stewards are strongest; and the IiObcrtsonf
there and in FOrfar.
The Campbolls are strong In Argyll, and
there arc upwards Of six thousand of thon
in Glasgow. The Hamilton's arc also nu
merous in Glasgow and throughout LAnark
shire; tho Frnsers in Inverness; the Grant,
in Elgin, Marin, Bann and Inverness; thu
Kerrs in Renfrew and Ayr; the CamoronI
in Argyll, Inverness and Perth, and Scott
in Roxburgh, SelLirk and FOriar; Ross n
Ross and Cromarty. In proportion Il

The RADICALS in Ohio are somewhat talk
en- aback by tho nomination of General
Rosocrans M tho democratic candidate for
governor Of that state, and tho manner in
which they seek 10 cover up their ehagrin
is amusing. One day they fall into deep
sympathy with Vallandigham and declare
that neither he nor his friends can vote
for Rosecrans on account of his connection
with Yallindigham's arrest in 1868. Tho
clare TINT VallandighRm was OF the bottom
OF tho whole movement and dictated tho
nominations from Governor down. Tho

their bonds to pay tho taxes. The Planter,
It will DO remembered, wal seized ut Mo.
bile about q year ago, with 1000 bales of
cotton ON board, ON which ii was alleged
no tax had been paid. II was subsequently
proved that only 48i bales were amenabie
to seizure. Tho cotton had, previous TO
tho seizure, passed into innocent hands,
and the Department decided 10 ALLOW il TO

gave bonds for the payment of the tax.

A couple of lads in Portage City climbed
q tree outside the tent to get q 'dead
head view Of F~orcpaugh's circus. What
came of IL, the Register tolls MS follows:
CAS- soon as the elephant was through
with, in the ring, the managers brought
him out and hitched him to the identical
troo, from the limbs of which the lads wore
viewing tho circus. TO 90 boy up in n
troo," this thing looked q little out of
order, but they kept az quiet as death fear
ing that they would either lose tho closing
views of the performance, or be tho sub
jects of tho displeasuro of the circus man,
If nc should discover them "doad head
ing" it TO his show. In duo time
the performance closed, tho crowd dis
persod, and, horror upon horrors, tho
keeper Of tho animals now added
TO tho perils of their situation
by hitching two smaller elephants and q
camel 20 tho Same tree. Our lads now dis
covered that thoy were in for q night of ii,
M all hands had left, excepting only them
selves and tho animals on guard below. All
hope of escape was now cut OIL. About
this time Romeo concluded Il Investigate
matters above him, and with his trunk COM
menced trimming outthe smaller branches.
Our boys commenced climbing also, until
they had got above his reach; and now the
camel took up tho inyostigation, and poking
his ugly mug up among tho limbs, ho drove
the boys TO tho very uppormost branches OF
the tree, whore they were discovered, Mt
day-break, by their anxious parents, who
had boon searching for them in vain all
night, teetoring and tossed about like black
birds on the top Of a riceRtalk in n windy
day. The boys saw moro Of these animals
than all tho rest Of tho boys in town, and
'for nothin," too; and if they don't re-
member tho time for tho balance OF thoir
natural days whom they ''sOt mp" with
Romeo, then We miss our guess. The
phrase, ''seeingtho elephant, was 10 them
