LAW WORTHY OF CoPY.-One of the
laws of Japan is, and has been for centur-
les, that whosoever cuts down tree shall
therefor plant one. So the hills are cover
ed with verdure, and all in groves of trees
set at equal distances; here grove FIVE
years planted, there trees two hundred
years old maybe. The effect of this law is
that wood and lumber will always be easily
obtainable, while in America especially,
the next century will see a scarcity of lum.
Der that japanese prudence would have
avoided. But then, unlike them-what
do we care for the coming generations? !?
To provide for the present almost breaks
the backs of many.

WILD DUCKs-After they are cleaned
and ready for cooking, wrap them in clean
cloth, and bury twelve hours in the earth,
to remove the strong flavor of this bird
They are usually cooked without stuffing.
Three-quarters of an hour will be sufficient
to cook them. When you dish it, draw
sharp knife three times through the breast
and pour over gravy of little hot butter,
the juice of lemon, sprinklng of cay
enne pepper, and wineglass of port wine.
This is poured over as they go on the
table.

The history of all great parties
which have ruled the minority for
years Is that the prime cause of disin-
tegratiOn is found within themselves.
Their downfall is brought about by
men of more ambition than patriot
ism, who create division i'm the ranks
by raising new issue or reviving
dead ones. Men are always found who
endeavor to lead the party into ex-
treme measures in order to glorify
themselves, while Others prefer the
weak -kneed policy, leaving those who
prefer the happy medium of sound
judgment and common sense with no
recourse but to follow one wing or the
other. The old Wing party was
broken up i'm this way, and likewise
the Democratic party before the war.
And now the great Democratic Whig-
Conservative party, which isjust fair
ly rising into power with healing
in its wings, is threatened with the
same Designating elements. There
are those who cling to the prin-

We have with this issue placed Mt
our masthead the banner OF the dis
tinguished gentlemen whose name
heads this article. The near approach
of the Gubernatorial election has
rendered IL proper to thus express
what we believe to be the unanimous
wish of the people OF Stewart. We
need say nothing of his record; dis
as lawyer, and soldier,
eminent in all the graces that adorn
the gentleman. Conservative in his
views, he will above all men, most
dignity the office we desire him to fill.
He entered the service of the South
early in 1861 rs Commander of the
AZ regiment of Tennessee Infantry
On the heroic field of Donelson, he
first displayed those high soldierly
qualities that afterward so marked
him us a leader, and won him promo
ton. At the battle of Franklin lie
fell, at the head of the assaultiug col
umns desperately wounded in two
places. At the close of the war, ruin
ed in fortune, he returned to the prac-
tice of his profession. In the dark
days Of Radical sway, his faith never
wavered, and his labors never ceased
until the shackles were broken, and
the people were free. His words
of cheer often aroused the tagging
zeal Of our people, and in the face Of
immense majorities he, battled until
victory was won. We present his
name notas a candidate for Governor,
but as a candidate for the nomination
Of the Convention Of the Democratic,
Conservative party. We believe 1t Is
conceded by the gallant people of
East and West Tennessee, that Mid
die Tennessee is entitled to the cam
didate at this time; West Tennessee
having had her distinguished son,
Isham G.. Harris, for six years and
East Tennessee having filed the office
in the person of BrOwnlOw and SEN
ter. AS eminent as q christian gen.
tleman as he was chivalrous as a
soldier, familiar with the wonderful
resources of rennessee, identified with
all her industries, laboring under no
disabilities, we present his as Stewart
county's candidate for Governor Of
Tennessee.-Douer Record.

nurn,ng OF the steamer Dun Able.

CAIRo, July 3D. The fine steamer
Dan Able, running between Cairo and
Columbus, to connect with the Illinois
Central and Mobile and Ohio rail-
roads, was totally destroyed by fire at
Columbus last night The fire origi-
mated IN the cook room, and spread
so rapidly that nothing could be done
to save the boat. In fact few il any
saved anything but the clothes they
wore. The boat had steam up, and
the leavers of the engine We're sus-
pended by ropes with the steam es-
Gaping through the cylinders, when
she was cut adrift to save the wharf
boat. AS soon as the ropes burned off
the wheels began to revolve and
there was presented the novel specta-
Gle of q steamer proceeding up stream
without human guidance. She had
progressed but few hundred feet
when the steam-pipe burst, and the
wreck fioated to Wolf Island, where
1t burned to the waters edge. Though
there were many narrow escapes,
no lives were lost. The boat was val
ued at about $4,000. The amount OF
insurance Is unknown. Another boat
will be secured in place of the Able
tomorrow. There will be no deten-
ton to passengers.

IMNIIGRATION.

We are frequently asked why we
do not urge, more continuously, the
subject of immigration. We feel its
Importance rs deeply MS they do who
talk most about it, but have long
since arrived at the conviction that,
in the case of the South, emigration
must precede immigration. In other
words, the whites of the North, and
of Europe, will not migrate 10 the
South SO long ms its population re-
mains rs at present, and it will so
continue as long as Radicalism bears
sway, and Radical journals, North,
hold us up to the world as robbers
and cut-throats. The policy Of the
Radicals is To keep the negro here,
am! make him rs worthless as posi-
bile, by changing him from II useful
laborcr into an idle, dissolute and
thieving politician, that the sympa-
thy may he more complete between
the blacks and the Radical whites,
and their worhlessness, rs laborers,
may be n check upon Southern pros
pcrity, and drawback To its social
and individual comfort.
Hence our conviction that immi.
grafton except in isolated instances
is, and will he, failure So long as
the races continue So nearly balanced
in the South, and the Radicals have
power to stir up strife between them.
Were we living under the rule of
equity and peace, the case would he
altered, and immigration would re.
QuiTe no stimulus other than the adj
Nantagcs offered by the soil, climate
and productions of this favored sec
ton. Bat II Is not the policy Of the
Radicals that this condition shall

exist, and as the better class of North
erners and Europeans are well APP
prised Of the true state of things, no
climatic, or other advantages can
compensate for the absence of law
and order; political and social equity
and domestic comfort.
From this, The conclusion necessa-
rily follows, that only rs the blacks
disappear will the whites flow in to
fill up the vacuum, and that every
effort to reverse this order Of progress
sion, or to hasten its development
will end in disappointment and loss,
unless the South, most unwisely,
conclude that black and white will
more easily harmonize by the intro
duction of third race--the Chinese
whom nature has made as different
from the other two as the latter are
distinct from each other. Until the
Radicals will let us alone, we must
rely upon the natural increase OF
white population, or resolve to null
tiply the future troubles of the South
by introducing a third element OF
danger and discord. Opposed to this
last alternative upon principle and
policy, our opinion is that we should
strive to make the most of things as
they are, yet be watchful to seize up
on any chance of relief that time OF
change may offer. Our troubles must
soon be ended through the quiet but
powerful agency of public opinion, oil
despotic Congress, in its greed fol
absolute power, will hasten a civil
strife from which will follow the re.
suits that should be reached through
the force of intelligent popular will
In either case light will dawn upon
our future, and we shall be enabled
to mould our discordant elements into
an harmonious whole, and invite i'm.
migrants to homes of peace, justic.
and pro sperity.
