Lift Up The Banner.

The detection of Mr.. Greeley, and
his aominatiba 'bg the Cincinnati Con,
venIion, has brought surprise and uncer-
talnty, for the moment, upon the public
mind but it ought not for au instant to
throw doubt upon the path of duty. The
Philadelphia Convention is now bound.
even If it were not its duty before, to
raise up the old Republican banner un-
der which have been gained such illus-
trious victories, and to print upon ii the
name of GENERAL GRANT
1t is not now y question whether
q neral Grant has been little too firm
or too lax, tou fast or too slow. By the
conduct OF those who have abandoned
the Republican party, he has been
placed in position where order, public
safety, and honor, require his re-eec,
ton. We believe the public peace,
order, and safety require the continued
ascendancy of the Republican party, and
that no other u.an can now so well lead
the purity as General Grant
1t is not the fault of the Republican
party that personal piques and private
ambitious. mingled in few ,ses with
some worthy aspirations for reform, have
broken out into revolt and political
revolution. But it will be its fault if it
shrinks from the conflict forced upon it.

Ap Unity years peeu immeasuraDly
abused, and against whom he has fought
that ipcessant battle on which his poll
tical fame rests /? Whst is the meaning
of this strange new friendship between
lifelong enemies2 Such friendships
are suspicious! Horace Greeley, presi-
dent of the United States by the votes
ofthe Southern men who corried on the
war, and of that Democratic party which
hung like a dead weight on Lincolu's
Administration
If the Democratic party, in view of
its past history and testimony, shall now
indorse Mr.. Greeley, their lifelong
antagonist, it will not be by conversion
nor by honorable surrender, but by an
act OF political immortality as shameful
as ever was recorded! There have been,
before this, coalitions between antagouis-
tic elements for the mere sake Of power.
They have never been deemed honorable.
But they will all turn to the color of
virtue by the side of the infamy of such
a coalition as is now meditated! Is it
into the hands of such party that our
circumspect merchants, our prudent
mechanics, our intelligent working men,
are willing to commit the government of
this great nation? Are we to live to see
the man in whom we have taken such
pride, conducting au administration by
the leave of the men whose policy he
has all his life abhorred, and against
whom he has emptied thousand
qdivers?
Horace Greeley, borne to the Presi-
dental chair by Democratic votes Do
the Democrats love him? Do they be-
lieve in his past life7 Are they in
sympathy with him in ideas, principles.
or policy? If they adopt him, will it
not be for the sake of breaking down the
Republican party? Failing in an cleo
tlon, MIR. Greeley might perhaps yet
better serve the Democratic party by
dividing his own former party to let his
lifelong enemies pass through to victory
with candidate Of their own!
MIR. Greeley is in bad company. he
is in false position. He isabaadoning
his old friends aud taking council with
his enemies. He is on the wrong path.
Possibly, but not probably, at the end
OF this new road to which his feet have
been so honorably unaccustomed, he may
find the Presidential chair. But it will
be dreary one. He may gain in emf
nence and lose in honor. 1t will be an
'llnstrlous career effulgently dissraccd
We believe Mr.. Greeley is un Ter
Providence that has better things in
store for him than honors gr;ncd at the
hands of men who only us hun to dcs.
troy his life long friends.
In such day as this there should be
no faint hearts at Philadelphia! Let a
declaration of principles be framed
worthy of the city from which was
issued the old Declaration of Indepeud
ence. Give to General Grant an
enthusiastic denomination. Then. by
every honorable means let Republicans
strive for victory over open enemies and
insidious friends
If defeated in November, let the party
stand compact, courageous, en,erprising
in Opposition sure that soon the ban
ner will return to its hands, and that it
will complete the great work of national
reformation which it has SO uoby begun.

direct from Nashville and drawing
from his pocket diary which contain
ed notes of direct line so far as he
had proceeded, and his conversation
very readily left the inference that he
had no other business, as he closely
scanned the projected plans of Gen.
Malone. He seemed to wish that Ma
hone would adopt the sou 5hern route
through this county. That it would
leave a more direct line as before NEIL
toned through parts of the counties
of Russell and Wise, and down the
northern route in Lee, giving them
the advantage of the immense amount
of coal and ore that are in the near
mountain range, besides forming a
junction at or near the Gap. He did
not seem to relish the idea so well Of
Malone taking the northern route, as
it would force them to cross Mahone's
line father east, and take the southern
route and bare them from the Gap,
and closer in contact with the East
Tenn Road. AS a matter of course
they expect to procure charter by
some means.
The most undecided location of the
Gap road is from Pattonsville to the
junction of the preliminary surveys in
Powells Valley, and it does seem to me
the most practicable route would be
between the other surveys, by way OF
Jonesville.
Very Respectfully,

The Pole Hat

My friend, did you ever examin the
fragrant pole kat clussly?
| guess not, they are kritter who
won't bear examining with micros-
kOpe.
+ They are beautiful beings, but oh
how deceptive.
Their habits are phew, but uni que
They build their houses out Ov earth,
and the houses have but one door
tew them and that is front door.
When they enter their houses they
don't shut the door after them.
They are called pole kats bekause it
liz not convenient tew kill them with a
club but with pole, and the longer
the pole the more convenient.
Writers on natural history disagree
about the right length of the pole
tew be used, but would suggest that
the pole be about 365 feet, especially
if the wind liz in favor of the pole
kat.
When a pole kat liz suddenly VOL
loped with long, pole the fust thing
that he. she, or it duZ, liz to embalm the
air for menny miles in diameter, with
an acrimonious allfaktory refresh
ment which permeats the ETHEREAL
fluid with an entirely original smell.
This smell liz less popular in the
fashionable world than lubins eX-
trakt, but the day may cum when it
will be bottled up, like musk, and sold
for S64 cents per bottle; bottles small
at that.
A pole kat will remove the filling
from hens egg, without breaking a
hole in the shell bigger than a marrow
fat pea.
How this IL did, historians have left
us to doubt.
This il vulgarly called "surking
eggs"
This liz an accomplishment known
among humans, which it liz said they
hav learnt from the pole kats.
Pole kats also deal in chickens;
young turkeys and goslins.
They won't tuch an old goose, they
are sound ON that question.
Man il the only phellow who will
attempt tew blight into an old goose,
and his teeth fly oph CRATE menny
times before he loosens emmy of the
meat.
A pole kat travels under an alias,
which is called skunk. There liz a
great rnenny aliases that there liz no
accounting for, and that il one OF
them.
| have kaught skunks in q trap,
They are easier to git into trap than
TO git out lit.
In taking them out ov trap, crate
judgment must be had not tew shake
them up; the more yu shake them up
the more ambrosial they am.
One pole kat in a township liz enuf,
especially if the wind changes once in
a while.
A Pole kat's skin liz wuth 2 dollars
in market, after it liz skinned, but 1T
liz with dollars and fifty cents tew
skin him.
This liz one way to make II shillings
in wet day.

an old man, was called to pass over
the river" and his aged wife and her
children were left alone; in the late
struggle between the North and South
she lost her boy. So at the time to
which our story brings US, of all those
that God had given her. there remain
ed but one, her youngest daughter,
who on a teachers salary, supported
herself and aged mother. for the DESC
lation of the late war had left her
nothing.
1t was an autumn evening, and An
ME Elliott stood upon the veranda en-
velOped in the haze of the fading sun
light, as she carefully plucked the
dead leaves from handsome gerani-
um, whose scarlet blossoms filled the
air with their fragrant perfume.
In large arm chair, in the open door
way, her mother watched her, dream
ing of time when, fifty years ago,
she had looked so like the young girl
before her. Her attention was arrested
by a step upon the walk, and an old
man approached, feebly leaning on the
arm of one, younger, handsoHer and
more elegantly attired. The old la
dy, with graceful dignity. advanced to
meet them, but her eyes were upon the
younger.
"My dear sir" she eagerly exclaim-
ed, =" fifty years ago had you appeared
to me as now, | should have greeted
you as Earnest Earl"
"And you" said the old man, lean
ing On his golden headed cane, as he
looked upon the young girl, q" weuld
have called Anna Lee"
"And so am called" laughed An
ma, "at the present time, If you'll on
ly add Elliott. Though can assure
you 1 did not exist in the remote pc
Rod to which you refer-unless indeed
it was in some other form. But, moth
err, explain, and you. sir, what come
dy of errors is this, in which we are
playing so conspicuous part? ?"
"Ah, see, and now know" said
the old man as he grasped the hand of
Mrs. Elliott. After fifty years we
no longer recognize each other, but We
have preserved in memory the pic
lures of long ago, and We find our
selves faithfully reproduced in our
children"
Thus, after fifty years separation,
they who had parted as lovers, met
when age had furrowed their brows
and silvered their hair. The sealed
book of the past was opened where
both were understood. After years
Col. Earl had married. His union
had been blest with but one child
the son now with him his wife had
long slept in death. 1t was pleasant
to remember the old times, and both
rejoiced that no obstacle hindered the
consummation of the happy love that
soon became evident to their watchful
eyes, viz: the love of their children,
Annie Lee Elliott and Earnest Lee
Earl. Contente6ly they look upon the
happiness of their children, quietly
awaiting the time when they shall
leave them to pass lover the silent
river, which divides the here from the
hereafter
