GENERAL HAMPTON ON SOUTH
ERIN REPRESENTATION IN THE
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

General Wade Hampton has writ
ten a letter to General D. H. Hill, in
which he advises against sending
delegates to the National Democrat
ic Convention, next year, giving the
following reasons:
1t would perhaps be sufficient to
say that l concur fully in the views
you have expressed, as to the i'm
propriety of the South taking any
part in the approaching Convention /;
but, in Difference to your wishes, |
give briefly the reasons which have
induced this conviction in my mind.
First. The Southern delegates in
National Convention could exer-
else no influence in shaping the pol
icy, making up the issues, or select
ing candidates for the next contest,
without seriously injuring the pros
pect of the Democratic triumph
That this would inevitably be the
case, is proven by the result of the
last Democratic Convention, where
the very presence of the Southern
ers was used to prejudice the action
and defeat the candidates of our par
ty.
Second. If the Southern delegates
could not with propriety exert any
influence in the Convention, while
their mere attendance in it might re-
suit in infinite mischief to the Dem
Ocsatic party, it is surely the part of
wisdom to refrain from participating
in the deliberations of the Conven-
ton.
Third. The Northern Democracy
will have to bear the burthen of
the fight in the next Presidential
contest, and it is only right that they
should choose the field and select the
acknowledgements.

SELMA, ALA, Sept 25th, 1871.
Mr.. Eb.-Agreeable to my promise l will
give you a brief statement of the condition of
the crops and the news generally. The cotton
crop here so far as | can learn on fair aver
age will tall short about one third, probably
little more. The whole crop is variously esti'
mated at from one, two half 10 three
millions bales-ths would make about an aver
age crop for the past three years. Our receipts
here have been light, owing to some extent, to
the prevailing belief ameng our planting friends,
that by holding they will be enabled to realize
Spring, l am inclined to believe that they can
do no better than to sell now, as the large sur
plus, from last year, and the portions of their
crop that they are compelled to sell, to liqui-
date their indebtness to their Factors, will be
a suficiency for present consumption, and con
sequently will have a tendency to maintain the
present prices There is little better feeling
in the market to-day-and quote middlings at
1Ss to 19t Demand light.
Our beautiful city is steadily improving,
ures going up in every portion Of it, and we
hope ere long to have the Queen City of the
South" There is not place in the South that
can boast of more liberal and gentlemanly bust
ness men-men who have the energy and busi'
ness capacity, together with the foresight, to
see that without Raj! Roads and printers
Ink they can never hope to succeed--as can
be fully demonstrated by looking over the col
umns of those two able papers, the Selma Times
and Argus, and examining the maps and see
the number of Railroads leading out of the city.
Roads that are fast pouring into her lap the
wealth and productions of as fine and produc-
tive country as can be found on the globe. In
this fast age of ours, we are compelled to have
Railroads and Printers lnk-the one to devel-
OPP the Agricultural, Mineral and Manutactur-
ing industries-the other to publish it to the
world. These two are twin sisters of wealth
and prosperity. For fear will make this com
munication too long will close by promising
to write again. y. Y. LIZ

sci for planters which we heartily
endorse-with the Interpolation of

and short"
The planters ofthe South are now
satisfied that their crop will fall short
of three millions and a half. They
have therefore an assurance that
they ought to get good prices for
their cotton. Prudence in placing
it in the market will enable them to
do so. By only selling enough to
meet their obligations-which ought
to be done promptly, even if at a
sacrifce-and throwing the balance
of their crops upon The market as
their needs may require, they will
be enabled to defeat the schemes Of
gambling spectators and realize or
their staple prices as the relative
conditions of supply and demand
should secure for it.

STOPPING A NEWSPAPER.

One of our exchanges has the fol-
lowing allegory, which we commend
to the careful consideration of those
gentlemen, who the moment they
see any thing which displeases them
in the columns of their local journal,
rush to the printing office and cry
out, "stop my paper" 1t is entirely
a new song upon the old subject.
"a certain man hit his toe against
a pebble and fell headlong to the
ground. He was vexed, and under
the influence of anger and self-suffi-
cheney he kicked the earth right
sauciIy. With imperturable gravity
he looked to see the earth itself dis
solve and come to naught. But the
earth remained, and only his poor
foot was injured in the encounter
This is the way of man. An article
in a newspaper touches him in a
weak spot, and forthwith he sends
to stop his paper. With great COM
placency he looks to see the crash,
when he finds he only hit his own
toe against a world that does not
perceptably feel the shock, and in
lures no one but himself"

THE HOME OF THE BANISHED
CoMMUNIsTs.--New Caledonia where
the Communist prisoners of Paris,
who are to be banished, will be sent,
is tropical island in the Pacific
Ocean, lying east of Australia, and
between the twentieth and twenty
fourth degrees of south latitude. 1t
is about two hundred and twenty
miles long and some thirty broad.
1t has mountainous center the most
of its length. Its native population
are Papuans, who, like the inhabi-
tants of the Feejee Islands in the
came Pacific group, are somewhat
addicted to eating their enemies
when they can get possession OF
them. Disease has, however, so
thinned their numbers that the ban
ished Communists need not fear their
canibalistic propensities. The chief
settlement is Noumea, which gets its
water for culinary and drinking pur-
poses from a stream about eight
miles distant, that being the nearest
fresh water to the settlement. 1t is
certainly hard place for a Partisan
and though not exactly the gullotine,
is next to it for severity of punish
ment.

chance of Food in the stomach.

When the food has been mastcated and con
verted into a semi-liquid paste, it is passed into
the stomach, which is simply an enlargement,
midway. of the alimentary canal. II is the the
atrc of the second and most importau! stage of
the digestive process, The food is here exposed
TO the action of the gastric juice. This is secre-
ted by the mucus membrane or internal lining
of the stomach which is full of minute pores
communicating with microscopic tubes or bags
closely reticuiatet; with nerves and capillary
blood vessels. The function of this apparatus is
the production OF cells, which are discharged IN
innumerable myriads into the cavity OF the
stomach. Arrived here they burst and pour
forth their liquid burden. This is the gastric
Juice, which physically is q limpid and color
less fluid Chemically it powerfully solvent,
and of acid reaction Its acidity is mainly owing
to the presence of muriatic or chlorohydric acid.
Hence the utility of salt this mineral furnishing
the chlorine of which chlorohydric acid is main
" constituted There is also present IN the
stomach an azotised substance named pepsin.
In the opinion of Liebg this is formed OF minute
separated portions of the internal coat OF the
stomach, in the course of decomposition. IL
combines with the oxygen which has been swal
lowed entangled in the saliva, and so starts the
digestive fermentation. Without an abundant
secretion of gastric juice thepowers of digestion
must be inefficient Now DIR. Gotteb Fisch'

and thus strengthen the digestive powers, and
through them the bodily forces generally.
