A SOUTHERN vIEw.-A correspondent
of the Record and Farmer, writing from
Columbus, Ga, under date of Aug. Sd,
says:
WITH perhaps, two or three exceptions,
the Southern States are all going for Gree
ley and the two or three doubtful ones will
very likely vote for him at last. The great
majority Of the people in all these States
feel that the process of reconstruction has
been unnecessarily protracted, and that
many of the measures of the adminstra-
tion in reference TO this matter have been
excessively and unnecessarily harsh and
oppressive. And whether right or wrong
in their views, such is their belief and such
are their feelings. And so universal is this
feeling that there is scarcely white man
in all this county who will vote for Grant
indeed, l know of no white man in this
section who will vote for him, except few
who hold Office under him. But, on the
other hand, there are few of the old fire.
eaters and secessonists, who oppose Gree
ley with almost as much vehemence as
they do Grant. The old leaders, such as
Toombs and Stephens of this State, from
the first secuted the very idea of accepting
the platform and candidates of the Cincin-
natl convention. They denounced the
candidates, and spit upon the platform.
They undertook TO dictate 10 the people as
they had been accustomed to do in days
gone by, but the people needed them not.
They have had their day their influence
has departed, and, with the "lost cause"
their political influence went down forever.
The people have taken this matter into
their own hands they have determined
that the war and all its animosities shall
come to an end, and with that end in view,
they have swallowed the Cincinnati plat
form and will vote for its candidates They
have been in trouble, they have been re-
duced to poverty and they feel that a
change will bring relief. 1 am stating to
you facts as I see them transpiring around
me, and let us hope that events may be so
shaped as to result to the best interest of
the whole country.

SUMNER VS.. GRANT.-Nobody of "A fair
disposition will deny President Grant the
satisfaction of having well disposed of some
of the petty charges which even Mr.. Sum-
ner has condescended TO cite against him.
There could hardly be a serious belief in
an bipartisan mind that the president,
after appointing Fred Douglass commits
sioner, meant 10 snub him. Neither is it
fair to grudpe the president an annual es-
cape from the sultriness of the District of
Columbia, and the telegraph and locomo-
tive make Long Branch hardly too distant
a retreat for the executive. 1t is also fair
hit that the president makes against sum
ner that, aflcr n fair defeat on his civil
rights bill, he endeavored to log-roll ii in
with other bills to which it was not ger
name. The Republican protested against
such legislation at the time of 1t. When
Senator Sumner falls below himself, the
man Grant becomes his equal and finds no
difficulty in winning the petty stake. 1t is
when the senator rises into the higher
moods of craftsmanship, and pleads for re-
Cancellation, reformed public service, the
abandonment of old issues, and puriiica-
ton of the corrupt federal influence upon
the politics of the South, and, indeed, of
the whole country,-itis is upon such ques-
tions as these that the president is unable
to follow or TO face him. 1t is the old my
thoogy over again. The grosser spirit
wrestles VIGOROUSLY with the diviner
when the latter descends to the sphere OF
the Springfield Republican.

SENATOR CoNKLINa ON RECoNCILIA-
TIoN.-Who, hen the war had been fought
out, held back an army, flushed with vict-
ory and maddened by barbarities to COM
rades, and refused the men he had led
through unexanpled battles the privilege
of seeing their captives lay down Il cir
arms? Who refused to accept tho sword of
Lee. the idol Of the South, and dismissed
the rebel troops on parole, every officer re-
tanning his arms and his horses Who made
recommendations so liberal and gave ad-
vice so lenient TO the South that Charles
Sumner denounced him in the Senate for
making a whtewashing report who con-
fronted Andrew johnson and demanded
that the plighted faith of the nation should
be kent with Lee and his officers when
Johnson would have tried them as traitors3
Who, as President, gave orders to our ma
val commanders in every sea to bring home
without price every destitute fugitive rebel
tired of traitorous and starving exile in a
foreign land Who placed in high position
Akerman and Longstreet and other leaders
IN the lost cause because in manly sincerity
they accepted the results of the war? All
these are acts of man of deeds, who for
threo years has been, and for five years
will be, the President of the United States.
Think you that security, peace and con-
cord in the South would be fostered by
galvanizlng that skeleton of rebellion and

SASDsPoUTs IN NEvADA.-For several
hours yesterday afternoon there were yisi-
BILE from this city, on Twenty-Five mile
Desert, five or six tall columns of sand,
sucked up by as many whirlwinds. At sea
these would have been waterspouts, but
upon the desert they were only what we
might call sandspouts. The columns ap-
peared to be ten feet in diameter and one
thousand feet in height. Although they
waltzed about over the plain for two or
three hours, they never came together or
never lost their distinctive cylindrical
form, and when they did go down they
wont down at once-all falling together
These sandspouts are well known to all
old prospectors, and seem TO indicate a
change of weather. We have frequently
seen in the Fory-mile Desert, east of the
lower Sink of the Carson, not less than ten
or fifteen of these tall sand columns NOV
ing about over the plains at the same time.
II is seldom that they come together, but
when they do they dart forward like two
flashes of lightning, and an explosion like
a heavy blast ends all, and the two columns
OF sand at once fall to the ground. Those
who have not been upon our great deserts
and have never witnessed the grand sand
spouts or the wonderful mrages, have but
little idea of the romantic grandeur of these
apparently uninteresting wastes of sand

NEW MODE OF WAsHINd.-The i'll effects
of soda on linen have given rise to a new
method of washing, which has been extern
sively adopted in Germany, and introduced
into Belgium. The operation consists in
dissolving two pounds of soap in about
three gallons of water as hot as the hand
can bear, and adding to this one table
spoonful of turpentine and three of liquid
ammonia; the mixture must then be well
stirred, and the linen stepped in 1t for two
or three hours, taking cBre to cover up the
vessel containing them as nearly hermeti-
cally, as possible. The clothes are after
ward washed ont and rinsed in the usual
way. The soap and water may be reheat-
ed, and used a second time, but in that case
half tablespoonful of turpentine and
tablespoonful OF ammonia must be added.
The process is said to cause great econo-
my of time, labor and fuel. The linen
scarcely suffers at all, as there is little ne
cessity for rubbing, and its cleanliness and
color are perfect. The ammonia and tur-
pentine, althouhg their detersive action IL
great, have no injurious effect upon the
linen; and while the former evaporates
Immediately, the smell of the latter is said
to disappear entirely during the drying OF
the clothes.

The DRIVER ANTs.-Rev. J. G. Wood,
in his fascinating book, Strange Dwellings,,
describes the habits of the terrible driver
ants of Western Africa, so named because
no animal can Withstand them. Even the
agile monkey they have been known to
destroy. When they enter pig-stye they
soon kill the inmates, who have no chance
to escape and whose tough hides are no
protection against the enormous jaws and
dreadful teeth of the driver ant. As for
fowls they make short work of killing
them, numbering whole hen-roost full in
a single night, and allerward digging out
the feathers and devouring the birds. All
reptiles, and even snakes, are their victims.
They commence upon snake by biting
its eyes SO that it writhes helplessly on one
spot, instead of gliding away. They march
in armies, curiously arrayed, prefering
nights or cloudy days. or, ifthe sun shine S
holly, constructing arches over their path,
of dirt agglutinated with a fluid cxcreted
from their mouths. This dread of the suns
rays, reported by DIR. Savage, seems
strangely inconsistent with the statement
of DR.. Livingstone, that heat has very little
effect upon them. He says he put the bulb
of thermometer three inches under the
soil in the sun at midday, and found the
temperature TO be 1929 to l34o. Beetles
placed on the surface ran about few Sec
onds and expired; but this boiling heat
only augmented the activity of the ants.
perhaps Livingstone here refers TO an
other Species though Mr.. Wood quotes the
passage in his description of the driver
ants.) They have no vestige of external
eyes, nor does the microscope detect in
them any visual organs whatever. The
horny head-covering is, however, translu-
cent, and they may recognize through that,
at least the difference between light and
darkness. Fire, which will frighten al
most any creature, has no terrors for the
driver ant, which will dart at glowing
coal, fix its jaws in the burning mass, and
straightway shrivel up in the heat. They
do not willingly enter water; but when
they need to cross a river on a march, they
bridge it with festoons of their own bodies.

The Political arena.

PEACE BEFORE RECoNCILIATIoN.-Bu
1 want to say a few words about the COM
plant that is made that the republican
party is in the way Of all reconciliation.
But from whose mouth comes the word re-
Cancellation Whose watchword is II? Who
Is IL that asks us to shake hands over the
bloody chasm The very men who filled
II with blood; the men who caused the
war. They are the ones who pretend to
want reconciliation. But don't they know
that before reconciliation, must come peace.
Four years ago, when Gen Grant extended
TO them the hand of peace, they refused it;
and from that hour 10 this there has not
been a time when they could not have had
reconciliation If they would only first have
peace. Am mistaken? (Cries of no no!)
Was there ever such spectacle as the treat
ment these rebels have received at the
hands of the government? The world does
not witness another such scene, as eleven
States arrayed in open rebellion for four
years, and when at last compelled to lay
down their arms, never a guilty one of
them required to expiate his crimes on the
gallows. And why2 Because the policy of
the republican party has been from the be-
ginning reconciliation the moment we
could have peace.
Senator Sumner advises the colorcd men
not to vote for Grant, because he can't trust
him on the civil rights bill. And yet what
party is most likely to carry out the pro-
visions of that bill, enforce the constitu-
tion, and protect the black man in his
rights? / determined to test them and in
troduced my amnesty bill, the most sweep
ing universal amnesty bill ever introduced,
and IL came within eight votes of receiving
the necessary two-thirds vote. The colored
men from the South came forward, and
said to the democrats and the white repre-
sentatives from the South, we will vote for
this amnesty to our enemies, If only you
will vote us our constitutional rights. SO
they did vote but every one of that demo-
cratic party voted against the civil rights
bill from first TO last, and in seventeen diff
ferent votes their names stand recorded
against it and Senators Schurz and Trum-
bull, the present champions of reconcilia-
tion, voted with the democrats. l went

WHY THE SOUTH GOES FOR GREELEY.
There is no difficulty in understanding
why it is that the great majority of the peo-
pie of the southern states support Mr.. Gree
ley. 1t is because he is the representative
of reconciliation, nationality and peace.
Mr.. Morton, who was only war governor;
Mr.. Blaine, who did not go TO the war at
all ; Mr.. Boutwell,, who never essayed to
pluck a sprig from Bellonas laurel wreath,
and Gen. Benjamin +. Butler, who certain
ly gained no distinction as fighting gen.
eral, it seems have not yet had their ill of
the late unhappy civil strife, but the gal
liant fellows on both sides who risked their
lives in storm and field and deadly breach
had quite enough OF it seven years ago.
They, or at least those of them who fought
on the confederate side, are tired of war
and sick of sectionalism. They perfectly
recognize the fact that they lost, and that
the doctrine of the indissolubleness of the
federal Union was established. They de-
sire now that the results of the war shall
be accepted North and South. Fraternity
and nationality are what they are longing
for, and as Mr.. Greeley is the representa-
tive of fraternity and nationality they sup
port him zealously and enthusiastically.
Civil service reform and the other ques-
tions which enter into the canvass at the
North cut very little figure in the Southern
states, though they are certainly of very
great importance. In the Northern states
the villanies of the Murphys and the Leet'
and Stockings weigh heavily against the
Grant government, but in the estimation of
southern people, such things sink into in
significance compared with the outranes
and high-handed frauds and prosecutions
of those trusted agents of the administra-
ton, the carpet -baggers. 1t is thing of
life and death with the South to throw off
this baleful domination. Under the radi-
cal carpet bag policy energy and business
paralyzed aud thousands on thousands Of
fair and fruitful Southern fields are as If
they had been sown with salt. A league
has been formed between the carpet bag
gers and their political slaves, the ignorant
and impecunious negroes, through which
| the country is impoverished and ruined,
and there is no hope that the vampires will
cease To suck the hearts blood of the South
as long as Gen. Grant continues president
and the radical policy prevails. -LouiSVitle
