ALL NOT LOST.

Although VIC hate radicalism with
vim that knows no abatement, on &C
count of the motives that prompted them
to enslave us, yet we arc not exactly
convinced that their attempts to tyran-
nize over us will not in the end, result in
our favor Soon after the close of the
war our lands were worth comparatively
nothing. The most valuable real estate
could have been purchased for triile
but our enemies, fearing personal vlo-
lence, or the probability of contiscation
by a hcartless and INSCRIPTIONS Con
gress, failed to invest in Southern real
tv, and we thereby saved our land
Now, real estate that would have been
sold at ruinous sacrifices, if Northern
cormorants had not been deferred from
purchasing by their fear, cannot be
bought for prices less than could have
been realized before the war. Thus,
millions of dollars have been saved to
the South, and soon we shall be able to
saw to those who arc seeking our de-
struction, that we have, by industry and
economy, made ourselves Independent,
and will not part with our lands for less
than their intrinsic value. We may be
compelled, for time, to submit to the
usurpations of Congress and suffer the
horrors of radical wrath but a people
determined to rely upon their own re-
sources, and to work out their own sal
walton by perseverance and economy,
cannot be permanently enslavcd. Our
lands, By proper fertilization and care,
are capable Of growing almost every
production of the earth to an extent and
frutfalness that would astonish the
most thoughtful agriculturist. Their
value will gradually increase as our poo
pie learn to appreciate them; and the
broad acres Of the sunny South, caplbIe
of maintaining FIVE hundred millions OF
human beings, will, at some future day,
produce a harvest of patriots that will
be invineible to wrong, and establish
mon the ruins Of the constitution and
the broken vow of dominant States a
government that will protect the de-
fenccless, and drive cormorants, who
fat,en upon the woes Of their kind, to
that oblivion which they 50 eminently
deserve. -GriHn Star.

UNExAMPLED.

In our history, is the act, adjourning
the General Assembly of Georgia, by
military authority. Unexampled, in re-
publican history, is the act, organizing
a military commission to determine the
eligibility of members of general as
sembly Of free people. OF course, SO
far as Georgia is concerned, these acts
determine her bondage, her subjugation,
to external authority. Will the prece-
dent stop with Georgia. How long will
it be before military authority will adj
iourn Legislatures of other States or even
a session of Congress and appoint Mill
tary Commission to determine the elegi-
blity of members 7 Is there anything
more improbable in the one case than
there was in the other? All recent
radical Amendments to the Constitution
tend to just such result, and we arc
forced to believe that some such end will
be accomplished.

TO BE KEPT OUT.

Virginia, it is said, along with all the
Southern States is to be kept in con-
Gition of Congressional pupilage. 1fad-
mitted, it is to be only under S"rve't-
lance, and to be remanded to territory
at radical pleasure. A writer says,
"Why pratc9 Despotic Entertainments
have not reached a stopping place.
COWARD is the radical word. Go
ahead! The nccks of the people are
ready"
You would have to believe in the
willingness of New England to abdicate
power, if you can entertain the hope OF
an honest and equitable political resto-
ration Of the South.

suAnOhzS on THE EMPIRE.

The 10Th. Amendment gives Congress
the power to enforce the act by appro-
pirate legislation. A bill is prepared,
in view Of its ratification, appointing
election commissioners for the election
districts of all the States. United States
Marshals are to sustain the commissioner
and the Secretary of war is to station
the troops Immediately preceding cleo
tons adjacent to the polling places of the
Congressional districts. The decisions
of the commissioners are to be absolute
and sustained by these measures.

DEMOCRACY IS IMPOSSIBLE.

So.says COnley-he who presides over
one of the departments of the Congress
sional government of Georgia. 1t is
very disagrecablo to believe such a pro-
position true but we are afraid it is so
and for the very simple reason that the
Country is in the hands of just such ig-
norant, corrupt, soul-lcss and unscrupu-
lous men as Conley, Bullock and the
party to which they belong.
Democracy, to be possible, requires
too much. 1t requires the people to be
well acquainted with the character and
bearing of all public affairs, and they
have not the time to spare from their
private affairs to acquire this knowledge.
But especially is the proposition true in
another particular. Democracy must
depute its authority to govern. and re-
quires too much when it demands of its
deputies unvarying virtue and devotion
to the general veal. During the preva-
lence of yirtuOus sentiments, pure tastes
and simple habits, the thing may work
very we'll; but when all this is changed
and the love of gold and of power become
the chief incentives to action, farewell,
a long farewell, to the virtue Of the
deputies and their devotion to the com
mon veal.

AN Eventual Bridal Tour.

Among the passengers who arrived in
the city on board the steamer Colorado on
Sunday were a. Mejia and hIs wife, Senior
MeJia Is the son of the Mexican minister OF
war under the Jusrez government, and
during the war with the French held the
position of psymaster OF the military diyi>
sion of the west, and was located at Quay
mas. He was married a few months ago
at Guaymss to Miss Connor, daughter of the
late American consul at that place. IL was
the design of the newly married couple to
pay a visit to the city of Mexico, but a few
days after the marriage took place the
the pirates of the steamer Forward made
their appearance, and for a short time car
ried everything with a high hand. Among
other exploits achieved by them was the
capture Of Meiia, whom they carried
Oft to the mountains of Sinaloa. Yiga, who
was at the head Of the piratical movement,
demanded ransom for $4,000 for the
release OF his prisoner, and threatened to
Kali him ifthe money was not paid. Infor-
nation OF this demand reached the father of
the prisoner. He, instead of paying down
the com, secretly organized q small force of
picked men and penetrated the mountain
region, where his son WAS detained. Thev
there attacked q guard Of seven men, killed
five Of them and wounded the other two,
and rescued young Mejia from imprison
ment. They lost one of their own men in
the attack. After the husband rega,ned his
wife at Guaymss the found it difficult to ge.
to Acapulco. In order to accomplish this
object they embarked on board the steamer
Continental for this port, intending to take
the next Panama steamer. They were both
saved from the wreck and reached this city
IN sA.sty, having lost all their baggage and
personal property.-San Francisco Bulletin

a Mr.. VIM. G. Conover has JUS. begun
three suits in Morristown, n. j.; two for
$4,000 each against his father-in Law and
mother in law for hardening his wife, and
another against a neighbor for $4,000, for
"trespassing upon his wife" An investiga,
ton has elected the following facts:
About two years ago, VIM. c. Conover,
then mployed as g freight clerk in the
office OF the Morris and Essex railroad il
Hoboken, won the affections of Miss Eliza
Muchmore, eldest daughter of a lumber
merchant OF that name, who is highly
esteemed in Morristown, n. j.
They we're married, and the father-in-law
showed his good feeling toward the young
couple by indorsing the groom's note for
1000. Conover then procured a team of
horses, wagon, and other necessary para
phernalia for the starting Of a coal yard.
Mr.. Muchmore also went security for the
payment OF his son in laws coal and wood
bills. and allowed him the use Of certain
stables, sheds, &c., with a house in which to
live in. Mrs. Muchmore also gave him
S5OOsin cash, and for a while the horizon Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Conover's married life was
bright.
After the lapse of three months the youne
groom's apprecistive friends elected him
to the position of town clerk, to which nc
salary is attached. This office required hi.
absence from his wife in the evenings, and
appears to have n-cessits,ed bis constant
frsquenting of the drinking saloons of Nor
rIstown.
a horse and buggy, with gay robes. whip,
and trimmings, were also found necessary.
and we're added to the sppurtenances of the
coal yard. The young wife pinned in her
solitary home, but kept her sorrows to her
self, not even omplaining to her parents.
Late hours and boon companions of his new
life appear to have led to the utter ruin of
young Conover After a year and three
months of welded life, the suffering wife,
while visiting a neighbours house, was taken
with Mysteries, which so alarmed her host,
who was q friend of her father, that be i'm
mediately ran to him and informed him oil
mis- daugeter's condition. Mr.. Muchmore
came TO her assistance at once, and was tor
the first time told the story of her wrongs,
whereupon he took her home to his own
house.
a formal demand was soon afterward
made By the husband for his wife through
ar ex councilman of the city, who was
driven to the door by Conover. The latter
caught sight of his fsther-in-lsw at the door,
and Immediately threatened his life. For
this he was arrested, and released on $500
bail The girl refusing to go back to him,
he began the suits for $25, 000, as stated
above.-N. Y. SIM.

Piney woods of Mississippi, is found 9 certain

females suffering with any affection of the womb.
This root We have obtained, rave il q fair test in
