A NORTHERN EDITORS OPIN1oN-The ed:
itor of the Geneva IN. ~ Gazette belonged to
an excursion party of editors recently visiting
Virginia and North Carolina, and from his
notes Of travel, we extract the following:
So far in our journey we have not met q sins
gle "rebelp who does not in good faith and id
all sincerity accept the issues of the war, re-
solved in his own mind to stand by the Union
and yield implicit obedience to tho constitution
and laws They complain Of nothing but the
political ostracism of their leaders, and even
in that respect bide patiently the time &heh q
sense of charity and justice shall impel our
rulers to declare general amnesty. They one

them, to purchase and settle upon their lands,
and by their energy, experience and capital,

cording to Improvements that will pro-

A BRAVE DEED.-A fire occurred at Find
lay, Ohio commencing about half-past three
o'clock of the morning of the 25th ult. An
ice-house and two stables we're destroyed. A
thrilling incident of the fire is thus related by
correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial:
In one of the buildings three kegs of powder
were stored when the fact became known the
crowd began to run but not 80 with young
man named Harry Erb, who seeing that unless
the powder was removed from the burning
structure terrible loss of life and property
would result, sprang forward, and crying
tStand back there is powder in here, and I
am going to fight it out" rushed into the burn
ing building. For moment he was lost from
sight, but in moment reappeared, bearing in
his arms two kegs of powder, which were soon
in place of safety, but the third still remained
But Erb did not count the cost Again telling
the crowd to stand back, he pushed his way
into the flaming mass. As he passed through
the building the flames were leaping and hiss
ing all around; dense masses of hot, black
smoke almost blinded him, but nothing stayed
his purpose Before he reached the object of
his search the keg had caught FIRE; yet, with
out seeming to notice his terrible danger he
picked up the powder and carried it from the
building.

An hour passed in the most agreeable manner;
and when took my leave I should have con-
cluded that the General had, in our first con-
versation, amused himself by astonishing me
with extreme views he did not really entertain,
had not heard from many sources of his vio.
lent reactionary opinions He is q man of
striking personal appearance. He is six feet
in height, with a powerful franc, a head some
what resembling that of Daniel Webster, in its
unusual size and in the great height and
breadth of the forehead Ho is rapid and
brilliant talker, and has memory that seems
to lose nothing that he has ever seen, heard or
read. His knowledge Of history is especially
thorough particularly of all the efforts ta., and
the most glorious of all these struggles being,
in his opinion, the Southern rebellion. He is
a man that it is easy to see would be leader
wherever he might be placed, and his influence
in Georgia is admitted to be great!

How TO MAKE A PLACE PROsPERoUs.--
There can hardly be greater sign of prosperi-
ty in community than disposition to help
one another, TO lift little when a neighbor's
wheel gets stuck in the mud.
/ knew of place where mans barn. with
all his winters stores of grain and hay was
consumed in the night Immediately all the
men of the country side mustered and hauled
up timbers for new barn, and then a big
raising came of. After that the sound of twen-
ty or more hammers was heard until the whole
was shingled and sided. But their deed of
kindness was not done yet; one and another
offered to take head or two of his stock and
winter them for him, thus greatly reducing his
loss, and assuring him of the more durable
riches of brotherly love and neighborly good
will. No one can compute in money the value
of one such example of noble liberality in a
community, especially in its influence upon the
young. Where this spirit prevails there is
sure to be progress in place, even if all Inn
provsments are in their infancy. People will
ike to come and settle in q place which bears
81 good name.
Now, if you desire to see your place grow
ing, popular one, do what you can to show
yourself good neighbor, especially to those
who need little extra help.

shop in yeur place, don't harness up and drive

horses shod, just because you have been in the
habit of doing it. Patronize the newcomer,
when you want anything in his line. Speak
encouragingly to him, and we'll Of him to your
neighbors. Little words of approval or censure
go long way, and when once you have spoken
them, You cannot call them back.
Help the sick, especially if they are poor, for
poverty and illness are indeed a heavy burden.

Some men arc strangely sensitive. They
will get drunk, ravo about the streets, yelling
like savages, go home, beat their wives turn
their children out of doors, resist the officers
who arrest them, pay fine before the court,
and having made themselves as notorious as
possible, will slide around to the editor and beg
him, with tears in their eyes, not to bring dis
grace in their families by mentioning the little
affair in the paper.
"A cross old bachelor suggests that births
should be announced under the head of new
music.

CHARITY IS NOT SELFlsHNEss.- 1t is not
Charity to give penny to the street medicant
of whom nothing is known, while we haggle
with poor man, out of employment, for mis-
cradle dime. It is not charity to beat down a
poor seamstress to starvation price; to let her
from her pitifal remuneration if the storm de-
lays her prompt arrival. tits not charity to take
a poor relative into your family and make hera
slave of all your whims, and taunt her continu.
ally with her dependent situation. 1t is not
charity to turn man who is out of work into
the streets with his family, because he cannot
pay his rent 1t is not charity to exact the ut
aTthIg from fir NTH the 3h widow ana snpeprous 0RHan ar
rah rich man, Of different blood from the shivering
recipient, whose only crime is that he is poor.
It is not charity to be an extortioner-not
though you bestow your aims by the thousand.

HORACE GREELEY ON THE PRODUCTION OF
CoTroN-Mr Greeley, in his late Address at
the Houston Agricultural Fair, says:
/ am not young as you see; yet cannot re-
member time when the South did not affirm
and deplore an excessive addiction of her peo-
pie to cotton. That eminent scholar and states
man, HUH S. Legare, alluded to it as venera-
BILE grievance, thirty odd years ago. Before as
we'll as since every one demonstrated with ev-
ery one against the faulty which impelled
Southrons to plant so much cotton, exhorted
all to retrench and reform, and then slide away
to plant few more acres than ever before
For generations, it was reiterated as an axiom
that cotton culture depended on slavery; yet
slavery is dead, and we produced nearly one
million ton of cotton in 1S7o-more than IN
any former year, with the exception of 1860.
Yet, in this year of grace, 1871, we have the
old cry from millions of throats-"Plant less
cotton p-and presume with the old result
The army worm, the boll-worm, may diminish
the cotton crop; expostulation, l judge, will
not know no more striking illustration of
what St. Paul terms "the foolishness of preach
ing" than this incessant yet fruithless clamor
against growing 80 much cotton.
Doubtless the remonstrants are right, as re-
monstrants are apt to be. But, after two gen.
erations of incessant depreciation, the passion
for cotton planting seems as intense and per-
vading as.eyer. The owner Of Thousand ara
BILE acres, after hearing all that is to be said
against it plants almost exclusively cotton
The poorest negro, who owns and rents a'dozen
acres; puts in his field of cotton, and takes his
chance for bread. He has endured less preach
ing on the subject than his old master but, had
be been lectured from infancy on the madness
of cotton planting, he would have planted all
the same. 8
And this for most obvious reason Cotton
is money and is power. Cotton is of such mod
crate bulk in proportion to its value that it
bears transportation far better than wheat,
corn, or fruit, Or vegetables: 1t, endofes ttopic
suns and arctic &osts without injury it neither
molds, nor rote, nor rusts, nor purifes. he
who has cotton to sell does notquake at the foot
steps of the tax-gatherer, and can generally
look the sheriff square in the face.

What Horace Greeley Knows about the Ku
Klnx and Thieving Carpet -Baggers.

On his return to New York, Horace Greeley
wos honored with a reception, at which the ven
erable philosopher and sage delivered an ad-
dress upon his experience in che South. He
alluded in no very fattering terms to the Ku
Klux and Thieving Carpet-baggers, and as call
the world and rest of mankind" will desire to
know his opinions upon these prominent topics
of discussion in the South, we make the fol-
lowing extracts from the speech:

THE SITUATION IN PARIS.

Our dispatches from Paris which we
give this morning are not at all encourag-
ing for peace. The Insurgents still seem
to hold practical possession ofthe city, and
to dispose of its affairs as their fancy sug-
gests The address of Theirs seems not to
be needed. They profess to desire a re-
public, but are pursuing course that must
end in an Empire. Napoleon's govern
ment has been bad. 1t hasbeen superficial
and empty, but if Paris can have nothing
better than mob presided over by the
Reds, she may call back the man of Sedan
to again rule over her destinies.
The rumor of the appointment of Faid-
herbe as Dictator may be premature, but II
violence and bloodshed, continue In the
streets of the metropolis, France will be
compelled to resort to some firm, arbitrary
power to set in order her disturbed house-
hold.
There is one reason to hope that the
mob will not long be supreme. Paris is
yet suffering from the distress of the siege,
There cannot be any very great quantity
of stores in the city, and the mob may
therefore not be able to gather members
arms or supplies as rapidly as if the ar.
senals and storehouses of the government
could be captured well supplied with the
material of war. This is one ground OF
hope that the spirit Of insurreetion may bt
quelled.
| The Germans seem as yet, not to be COM
mitted to any policy in reference to the
complication. If the mob should succeed
in holding Paris for any time, OF I'M any
way attemptto interfere with the present
government, carrying out in good faith
the terms of peace, we do not see how
the Germans can refuse to interfere. tn ey
must, of course, see that the fruits of theil
triumph are secured to them at the mo-
ment the insurgents threaten to deprive
them of these they win bring down upon
the heads apower more resolutea and prompt
than thatwiH which they now deal.
