should Warmotb or McEnery
be nominated, all hopes of a
general fusion would be at an
end, and believing that the
present crisis demanded the
leadership of a man not identi-
fed with a wing Of either fac

these considerations upon
those parties, and to remove
any scruples that might exist,
pledged themselves that Gov.
Warmoth should not be the
nominee, and furthermore of
fering to nominate any man
from the Liberal party the
Democrats might select, and to

tribution of the balance of the

Jonas and Ogden-a demand

Patrons Life Of Greeley.

FdIrOn Lie vi dfeei6y.
This is one of the most nota-
BILE books of the times, and de-
cidedly one of the best
written and remarkably in
teresting of American biog-
raphies. We do not propose
TO review it from a political
standpoint, for it is not design
ed as a mere campaign but of
standard value, from the pen
Of a writer of established repu-
tation, whose biographies of a
eminent Americans, are well
known and highly valued.
Mr.. Patrons writings are all
attractive on account of the
care he exercises in collecting
incidents, and the ingenuity
with which be weaveS them in
to the story of a life, to relieve
The. tedium of dry facts and
monotinous narration.
Such a work cannot he re-
viewed in the compass of an
ordinary book notice, and it is
therefore best to simply in
form the reader, that it was
commenced several years ago.
before Mr.. Greeley was
thought of as a presidential
candidate, and faithfully writ
ten as one volume in the series
Of Parton biographies, simply
for its general interest and in
innate connection with the his
tory of the country, for near
half a century. Commencing
with his birth, and following
him through all the vicissitndes
of early years of trial and ad,
versity, the school which de-
veloped the wonderful power
that marks his ripper years anG
carried him forward to the

iHE SIdNs.-All over the country, the
Lloeral press presents cheering evi.
denoes OF revival of the "GreeIev
craze" The Missouri Republican has
the following ringing article on tho SUBJ
ieot:
1t is very clear that the opposition
cause ID recovering from the unmeasura.
Die depression which overlook it mat
after the Vermont and Milne elections.
a reaction of popular sentiment in favor
OF 1t has set in; tho traces and evidences
or IL are to be seen everywhere. None
perceive it so clearly as the alarmed Ad-
ministration partisans. They admit it
without intending to do so. ,Greelev's g
speeches, Curtin's letter and ex- Governor
Seymour's declaration for the Liberal
ticket have had, and are still having.
marked effect on public sentiment: and
tne shock which the startling Credit
Moblller exposures caused has benumbed
the Administration party, and caused
Porceptlble withdrawal of popular conf
dence from it. The Administration or.
gans have suddenly dropped their voices
TO lower key. All that they have to
claim In Pennsylvania is that Grant will
carry it In November, which is tanta-
mount to confession that their oandi-
date for Governor, Hartranft, will not
carry 1t IN October. The Boanerges of
the Administration, Senator Morton, ia
sweating in agony in Indiana. He has
ceased to assail. and is now fighting in
self defence. The Presidents Cabinet
have broken down under the whip and
spur with which their master rode them.
Their appearance in the field as solicitors
OF votes for the President showed the
people what mediocrities they are. and
excited sort of dull disgust at a cause
that could take the highest and eraveet
ohcials OF the Government away from
their duties at Washington, and put
them to making partisan speeches to
negro audiences in North Carolina. In
ILLINOIS, IN Indiana, in Pennsylvania and
IN Ohio, the united Democrats and Libe-
rails are making strong, spirited and
successful canvass. They are appealing
to audiences which never fail to exhibit
sympathy for the cause they advocate:
and the symptoms of popular changes
In favor OF Horace Greeley are so mani
feat that the allies claim that they will
carry all these great States. even includ-
ing Ohio, which they scarcely thought of
claiming three weeks ago.
The Administration party are openly
buying votes and importing negroes, to
resist this rising tide of popular feeling
against them; but it will be of no avail.
Their cause is on the decline, and the
allies are advancing their standards every
day. The triumph of Hendricks and
Buokalew in October, to be followed by
the triumph Of Greeley in November, is
what the signs of the times indicate at
present.

The st. Louis Democrat thus describes
the scene at the conclusion OF Satanta's
speech at the recent Indian council:
When Satanta concluded, there followed
a scene not easily described. Big Tree
olasped Captain Alvord in his arms and
squeezed him like bear. Satanta shook
hands with the whites, and then passed
around and shook the hand OF each of
the Indian men, taking no notice of five
or Six squaws sitting by themselves on
the South side. When he came to tbe
mon OF his own tribe he embraced each
OF them. kissing them on the cheek,
while the tears streamed from their ewes.
DE shed no tears himself, however. al.
though his feelings were deeply moved
HIS sister threw her arms about his neck
and kissed him many times. When lie
came to len Bears he placed his hand
fondly on the old mans face, and uttered
words that brought the moisture into the
veterans eyes. Big Tree had three
brothers present. These and all the
men of his tribe he embraced, aud point
ing to the Son Of the Sun and two
others, said to one Of the whites: s.My
brother! my brotherl' The pale faces
who witnessed these demonstrations of
affection on the part OF the red men Of
the tn forest. were deeply impressed.
Their ideas of Indian stoicism, as de.
rived from Feninore Cooper and other
romance writer's, were dissipated, and
they saw that the Indian has heart az
well as the white brother.

A CLERGYMAN IMPRISONED FOR AN
ABUSIVE SERsIoN.-A German paper
states that the Rev. Won Felstow, q
Dantzic minister, has been condemned
to months imprisonment in Prussian
fortress, for having, on the 21st of Janu-
ary last, in the course of sermon. used
opprobrious epithets against the Jews.
The court decided that such expressions
were entirely at variance with the CHA.
racter and position of minister Of reli.

tolerated in a country in which all citi.

a WESTERN ToRNADo-AN ARKANSAS
Town ALMOST DESTROYED. D.-The mail
brings reports of Rn unusual number of
accidents from the recent storm on the
lakes and in the Mississippi Valley. The
following special despatch to the Nilsson
ri Republican gives startling account of
the gale In Arkansas, on the 18th uIt.:
The steamer Julia, that came down last
night, reports terrific tornado as having
occurred ninety miles above here, yester
day afternoon, ut Osceola, Arkansas
The storm struck the town, containing
perhaps 300 houses, about l o'clock.
coming from the Southwest, and before
the citizens could realize it's extent. or
before they could even get to their doors.
it had burst upon them with unprece-
dented fury and violence, sweeping be-
fore it houses, trees, cattle, fences and
everything movable. Trees were carried
by the winds like straws; cattle, horses
and mules were blown about the streets,
and, becoming wild with fright, ran he'll
ter,skelter in all directions, and the air
was literally thick with fragments of
every imaginable thing. The cotton
fields were completely riddled, the stalks
torn up by the roots and the lint blown
from the bolls. Fences wera torn into
kindling wood, houses taken up and car
ried entirely from their foundations. and
roofs and parts of roofs were whirling in
the air like autumn leaves, and in less
time than it has taken to write it. the
town, once beautiful place, was q mass
OF ruins. Three churches aud six school
houses were blown down in moment.
and many of the heaviest timbers carried
entirely away. and nearly every dwelling
house in Osceola and it's immediate vioi-
nifty was either blown down or unroofed.
The mills and cotton-gin belonging to

fragments, and hardly vestige left OF
the buildings to mark the epot where
they stood. In oil, eighteen persons
were killed or badly wounded. Three,
Two men and woman, are known to
have been killed outright. and others
will die of their injuries. After spending
Its force, the tornado crossed the river
and went directly up stream ten miles,
twisting large forest trees up by the
roots and throwing some into tho river,
while others. not so large, were carried
high in the air and lodged in the branches
OF larger ones. It's course is marked
now by barren waste on both sides of
the river, entire cotton fields having
been laid level with the earth, and ali
buildings IN its course razed to the
ground. When it left the river it took
North-easterly direction. sweeping every
thing in its course. Fortunately, the
steamer Julia barely missed it. Had she
been III its course, the fate OF her pas.
sengers would inevitably have been death,
and the boat would have capsized and
went to the bottom. A rough estimate
OF tho loss to the town of Osceola pIaces
it ut 100000.

NEW CAMPAIGN DoCUAIENr-A SuHsrr
TUTE For THE KU KLUx ORDER.-Iti is
understood that the report alluded to in
the following Washington special to the
New York Posi-. is to be used as cam
paign document:
The officers who were sent to the
Southern States by the Department Of
Justice to examine into the condition of
affairs, and to detect any organized at-
tempt to violate the revenue laws and
enforcement Act, have submitted yolu-
minous reports to the Attorney G General.
From these it appears that the Ku Klux
order is giving away to new organiza.
ton, similar to the former in mspy re-.
spects, but having different mode of
accomplishing the same ends This
new organization is spreading rapidly
through all the Southern States, and ia
intended to be made very effectual for
Greeley during the present campaign by
intimidating voters in localities where
the Republican element is not in the as
cendant. The order has established
lodges in nearly every County in Missis-
sippi. Alabama and Georgia, and is
rapidly extending itself to other States.
Several officers of the Government suc-
ceeded in getting initiated into the
order, and observed fully its workings.
They are, therefore, enabled to take
steps to prevent its plans from being
successfully carried out"

The following communication address
ed to tho New Orleans Picayune will
prove interesting to cotton planters
whose crops have been destroyed by the
caterpillar, as it suggests mode of ex-
terminating them. The writer says:
during a long residence in Central
America the writer has noticed the
habits OF very diminutive ant called
the terrier ant. No insect will approach
Its habltation. 1t is perfectly harmless
to vegetation, and will not permit any
insect, or even animal, to encroach upon
their premises under penalty of death.
Ihey do not build nests like other ants,
put live anywhere, where there is not q
dense tropical shade. The writer is per-
fectly convinced that if they can be i'm.
ported into the cotton regions of the
United States, and will stand the climate.
the cotton and even the boil worm will
become thing of the past. From
many experiments in the destruction of
insect life, the writer forms his opinion.
which can be corroborated by friends in
Central America, should any one inte.
rested in the cotton plant choose to
write. The first occasion that the writer
had to test the destructive attacks of the
terrier ant on insect life was when stung
Dy stInging scorpion contained in the
sleeve OF his coat-an insect very tena-
clous OF life. yet in less than three mi.
nutes after it was given to the ants it was
DEAD. A centipede, covered with hard
armor, suffered the same fate in four
minutes and few seconds. A tarantuls
d!ed IN less than two minutes. A snake
nine ieet long in fifteen minutes. There
are numerous other experiments made
by the writer, which he could give. hnt
deems unnecessary. The natives in Cen.
trail America transport the ants from
place to place by putting little supar in in
bottle or calbore, (gourd,) and when
full transport them safely"
