SPECIALTIES OF THE ECLECTIC.

SCIENCE.
1t is believed that in this department the
ECLECTIC is more comprehensive and complete
than any other Magazine in the world not ex-
clusively devoted to the subject.
/ BIOGRAPHY.
There is no department of Literature more
important, and at the same time more general
ly interesting than Biography. In this depart
ment, therefore, will be found sketches of most
of the famous men of present and past times.
BELLIES LETTREs.
Polite Literature in all its branches is repre-
scented by the best selections which can be
CLEANED from the whole field Of periodical liter
allure abroad.
In this department the best Current Litera-
ture Of its class is found, comprising occasional
Serials by the best contemporary novelists but
chiefly the short stories for which the English
Magazines are deservedly celebrated.
GENERAL LITERATURE.
Under this head are embraced all those sub
jects which elude special classification, for in
stance, the fine Essays on Periodical, Social and
Literary Topics: which fill the English quarter
lies and monthlies.
EDITORIAL DEPARTMENTS.
The Editorial Departments are Literary No
tees, Foreign Literary Notes, Science. Art and
Varieties. They have been remodelled and ex-
tended, SO as to embrace every possible topic,

A very fine Steel Engraving some subject
of general interest, either Historic, Portrait or
Ideal, embellishes each number. These engrav-
ingS are executed in the best manner and by
the best artists, and are of permanent value.

The Washington Chronicle, Gov. Hol-
den's organ of the administration, under
the head of Mississippi politics" felici-
tates itself that 1.-THE Republican party
Tin Mississippi has shown wisdom in
nominating for the Legislature a better
"class of men than heretofore"
This is precious confession that the
material which composed the Mongrel
majority in the present Legislature is
vile, and requires reforming; but we who
are on the ground, and are surveying the
whole field, can see no sign of improve
ment
Have they not nominated Warner in
Madison, and Warren in Leake
Have they not put Gartman on the
track again?
Haven't they thrust little Boyd into
the faces of the honest yeomanry of At
tala and Leake?
Haven't they put the African incen-
diary, Gleed, in nomination in Lowndes ?
Haven't they set aside bad man in
Marshall to give place to a worse one,
the notorious Gill?
Haven't they gone the whole swine Of
the present delegation Of French & Co.
in Adams
Have they spewed out Morgan, the
Miscegenator
A "better class" indeed The RAIDS
have no material for "better class, and
they have not Offices high enough at their
disposal, nor money enough at their
command, though they are the taxing
power of the State, and are using it I'M
scrupulously-to induce "better class"
to take service in their infamous cause. -

Begging The OuerIIon.

When reconstruction was accomplish
ed in this State, it was understood that
the people would have a right to conduct
their local government as they might
deem proper; that they would be left
untrammeled in the exercise of their po-
litical rights and in the choice Of their
political associations. But in playing his
desperate game, it seems that Gov. Al
corn at Holly Springs, gave the people to
understand that when civil government,
so-called, was restored to the State, her
people acquired the right to vote as they
please provided they please 10 vote The Radi-
cal ticket, and thereby vote to keep them
selves under the yoke Of thepublic plum
derers, thieves" as Mr.. Greeley calls
them, who are encouraging a spirit Of
mob law throughout the State, and load
ing her taxpayers with oppressive bur-
dens.
In default Of willingness 10 perpetu-
ate this worse than Egyptian bondage,
Gov. Alcorn and his co-workers are init
mating that the State will be put back
under military rule.
Pray what else have we now? What
else but mockery and a bye-word Of
scorn is this Pretence Of "civil govern
ment in Mississippi? Look at the ar
rest Of citizens by Federal soldiers with
out warrant-their imprisonment without
benefit of Habeas Corps! Witness the
horrible assassination Of thu Inflated Hal
Dawson at Scooba, who was eaticed into
a murderers den to be slaughtered like a
wild beast; and the protection against
legal proceeding which was afforded by
the Radical officials.
But it is mere fudge-a pitiful begging
of the question-for these Wreckers Il
resort to the bugaboo of restoration OF
military government if the people do not
forever bow their necks TO their degra
ding yoke. Why, in Virginia, they never
reconstructed under Radical control in the
first instance; and still they have not
been molested. Nor have they been mo
Tested in Missouri, where under the lead
of Graft Brown, liberal Republican, and
Frank Blair, Democrat, they demolished
the idols of Republicanism. Nor in
Tennessee. Nor in Alabama. In al
these States, the people have thrown Of
the accursed yoke of the Radical mis-
rulers and have taken fresh start on tn,
road of progress.
This Pitiful plea will not save thu
Wreckers- The Tidal Wave" of POPu
lar Indignation is coming and will sweet
them into merited oblivion.

the only white RAIDS are the ofiice-holders.

take her proper position in the Conser-
vatiye column at the coming election.

THE DESTRUCTION.

So much interest is felt, by all parties, in
the fate of Chicago, we continue the publ
cation of details of the great confagration
as obtained from our exchanges:
FLAMES STOPPED IN THE SOUTH DIVISION
100 BLOCKS BURNED.
CHICAGO, Oct. 8, 6 p. m.-The progressing
flames in the South Division were finally
arrested about l o'clock, p. m. This was
accomplished by the blowing up and de-
.nolishing of several buildings on Wabash
avenue and Congress streets, by Lieutenant
General Sheridan. The district burned
over in the South Division embraces every
thing from the main branch of the Chicago
river to the lake, embracing about one hum
bred blocks, and this district contained all
the leading business houses, the banks, in
surance Offices, hotels, ETC., large number
of churches, including st. Mary's Catholic
church. Trinity. First Presbyterian, Second
Presbyterian, st. Paul, Swedenborgian, etc.
The Methodist church on the corner of
Wabash avenue and Congress street, is

street. and Congress Hall, directly adjoining
on Congress street are saved. Michigan

The opposers of Radical misrule are up
and doing in this growing region of our
State. Hon. Roderick Seal has consen-
ted to serve the people of Harrison and
jackson in the Legislature, and this Is
equivalent to saying that he will be cleo
ted and that their interests viii be COM
mitted to able and efficient hands.
The following items are from the
Handsboro Democrat:
The registration is going on lively for the
Democracy in jackson county. All are
turning out, and it is generally believed the
anti Radical or Democratic party viii carry
the county by i've hundred majority.
Wehaye most cheering news FROM Marion
and Perry counties. The standard bearer
of the Democracy, Mr.. Thomas 5. Ford, viii
sweep both counties with an immense ma
jority.
The people of the Southeastern
counties are justly indignant at the
Mongrel party for depriving them OF
their rightful representation in the State
Legislature and denying them the voice
to which they are entitled because they
have white majorities. Should the Con-
servatives succeed in carrying the Legis-
lature. one of their first acts viii be to
repadiate the infamous Apportionment
law and renoddle IL on . just basis Let
the people of that section bear this IN

The Great Debate im MarHhalI.
Extract of private letter, dated Hol-
w Springs. October l1th:


Gen. Lowry and Gov. Alcorn spoke here
on Monday. The discussion lasted four
hours. Alcorn opened in a speech Of one
hour and a halt. Lowry followed In a
speech of one hour and three-quarters.-
Alcorn replied in speech of thirty min
utes, aud Lowry rejoined i'm a speech of fif-
teen minutes.
Gen. Lowry sustained himself nobly and
made powerful speech, and gave full salts
faction 10 all Conservatives. The adVanta-
ges were all on our side. Alcorn did not
pretend To answer half OF the grave charges
made by Lowry against his party, and his
administration.
They had an appointment to speak again
at night, but Gen. Lowry was suddenly at
tackled by a sick headache and sick stomach,
and could not speak aud Col. Lamar, who
was here, took Lowry's place. Lamar and
AlcOrn spoke for three hours to a crowded
house. Lamar's triumph was com plete he
handled Alcorn without gloves, blistered
him all over, and was overwhelming and
crushing in his replies. We certainly gain
ed by the discussion on Monday Marshall
is now the theatre of intense political ex-
element, and of unparalleled efforts by
both parties. Barbecues and discussions are
now daily occurrences, and our people are
fully alive aud at work.
The Governor has made two speeches in
the county, the Attorney General has made
two, the Secretary OF State has made two (;
aud the Major General of the Militia has
located here to write and speak. Now could
you not send us up the balance of the State
observation-disclosures "Muss," and the head
of the Asylum. We can whip them all out
easily, and carry the county.
Gen. Lowry has been confined to his bed.
and suffered very much from sick headache
and sick stomach since Monday night; but
he is now better, and hopes to be able To re-
turn home In "A day or two. He will not he
able to speak for several days.

The desperation of the Champion"
of Radicalism is betrayed in the atrocious
sentiments expressed in his Holly Springs
speech, and in his horrible appeals to the
passions and prejudices of the blacks in
order to hold them in the position of
beasts of burden to their Carpet-bag and
Scallawag task-masters in this State A
desperate case requires desperate rene
dies-Gov. Alcorn takes in the situation
and tries the old and played out expe-
dent of warning the colored people that
the whites of Mississippi are their mortal
enemies
Nothing is more significant than this
wailing and crashing Of teeth by him
and his co-cOnspirators that they see the
handwriting on the wall. But nothing
will avail them. They tried the game in
Tennessee and failed. They tried it in
Missouri and they were beaten to the
tune of sixty or seventy thousand. They
tried it in Alabama, but did not save
ShOmoCAhCo
They tried it in Georgia, with like re-
result. They tried it in Texas, but the
Conservatives, despite the machinery of
an iniquitous election law, have swept
the State. In Virginia they tried it, but
never even so much as obtained foot
hold.
In the States of Tennessee, Missouri,
and Alabama, where conserva-
tive supremacy has been fully establish
ed, the colored people are content and in
the complete enjoyment of all the rights,
civil and political, which belong to the
whites. Peace and good will exist be-
tween the two races wherever the curse
of Radical teaching and example has been
And so it will be in Missis-
sippi Radicalism is the enemy of both
races. 1t is the synonym of plumber, OPP
preston, hatred, discord, blood-shed and
laWlessness
