country, although during the decade
which has just closed il was severely
tried by the great war waeed TO maintain
its Integrity and to secure aud perpetupte

There was no packet up from st. Loui

There was no packet up from St. Louis
last Wednesday, and, consequently, We
had no ST. Louis mail that day. The
time of year is at hand when river navi-
cation is uncertain, and we may not be
surprised any day to see it suspended.
Then we will have to depend upon land
carriage snd horse flesh between this and
the railroad, for all our mails. Last
winter we made an effort to get q daily
mail established between this city and
Wentzville, via CIarksville, Prairieville,
Auburn and Troy, and we're partially
promised that the line would be estab'
lished this fall. We have heard nothing
from it since. IF Col. Dyer does not
feel entirely relieved from all obligation
to serve us, we hope he will call at the
Department and see If tho route can be
established The distance from here to
Wentzvlle is about fifty miles, half Of
which is now macadamized. The service

Beauties Of Radical Rule,

The Republicans Washington special
OF the Ilth inst says that a document
showing some of the plans Of the mill
tary reconstruction in Georgia is about
to be presented to congress by Hon.
Henry II. Wetmore, who states that he
was elected by the Republicans jndge OF
the court of ordinary, and on the 10Th
of April, 1870, released man on ha-
beas corpus because of informally in the
warrant. % the 29th Of the same
month Gen Terry issued an order remov.
ing him from Office, but assigning no
cause. This order the judge refused "
obey, aud was then put off the bench a,
the point Of the bayonet. The reason
for this ezibition of brute fore, and the
spectacle Of civil judge driven from his
bench BY soldiers was because Gen Terry
differed in opinion on the Law governing
the habeas corpus case. As proof oil
this he cites the fact that Gen. Terry
wrote to Gen. Sherman giving that as the
reason. He cites the acts of congress "a
show that this action Was illegal, and
adds that he is confirmed in that opinion
by Representatives Bingham, Logan and
Farnsworth, and yet be declares that he
is still deprived Of his Office, which i,

Fire at ClarkSville.

The Sentinel gives vivid and lengthy
account Of fire at that place last Sunday
night, which we have not space to give
in fulh We gather ths following par
ticvlars: The fire broke out about 7
o'clock, while the people were at church,
in the large brick building on the levee,
occupied By l.. NJ. Smith as q grocery
and commission store, W. II. Moss as a
dry goods store, and j. +. Moore a. o
drinking saloon. The building was soon
consumed. Several barrels Of whiskey
and coal oil caught Ere, aud the flames
spread rapidly, roaching the tobacco
warehouse of Major l. Sons, and the liv
cry stable Of j. L. Dawson, both of which
we're consumed. Several other buildings
we're in iminent danger, but by the noble
and heroic exertions of the people, espe-
cially Of the ladies, the fire was arrested
about ten O'Clock. The total loss ia not
given, a portion OF which was covered by
insurance. .--Louisiana Journal, 10th.
