GREELEY.

General d. II. Hill, OF North Carolina,
brother-in-law oil Stonewall jackson, one OF
the ablest, and most iavorably known of
the Southern leaders, and a gentleman and
scholar OF culture and Refinement has
written n strong letter for Horace Greeley.
from which we make the following ex-
tract:
do not take Mr. Greeley from poll.
cy, but from principle We take him be-
cause he is with US in all the essential
principles involved in the Presidential
contest. lie is opposed to carpet. bagism.
lie is opposed to military rule, and the
oppression of the people. He is opposed
to the theivish rings which bankrupt
the masses to enrich the rogues. lie Is
opposed to extravaganza in administerin.
the government, aud high taxes upon the
people, lie is opposed TO two terms in the
Presidential oilice-the first term being
employed in bribing the way with S totem
money for a second term. lie is opposed
to squandering the public domain upon
the swindlers who bride the President and
Congress to pass iniquitous railroad bills.
He Is opposed to putting incompetents in
to Office, even though they be kin to the
President. lie is opposed to making a
Poland of the South and in favor Of win
ming our people by the law OF kindness.
In brie', on all the living questions Of the
hour Mr. Greeley ani the South are in
perfect accord. His platform and his let
ter embrace all ofwhich we can now at.
tain. IL is because of this agreement in
principle that we accept him as our Lead
er, and not because OF any low views
OF policy and eXpeiiehcy. The Radical
candidate has bat TWO ideas in his head
The first is to grow richer still by gifts from
bribegyers. The second is to degrade. bu-
initiate and ruin the Southern people. We
oppose him on principle and We favor the
man whose personal honesty i. above sus.
picicion, and whose heart is big enough to
ieel Tor the wrongs and outrages committed
upon the States lately in rebcllion.-

EDITORIAL NOTICES are so common that
is almost impossible for an editor to ex-
iress his honest conviction of the merits Of
any article without being suspected of in
terested motives. This fact however, shall
not deter us from saying what we think of a

our attention has been recently directed.

way into mere families just now than ali the
other advertised medicines put together.
There seems to be no question about the DO
tency Of its tonic and Alternative properties
while it possesses the great negative recon-
mendation of containing neither alcohol nor
mineral poison That it is specific for
Indigestion, Billiousness, constipation. and
many complaints of nervous origin, we have
reason to know and we are assured on
good authority thai q general invigorant
regulating and purifying medicine, it has
no equal. 1t is stated that its ingredi snts.
obtained from the Nllds of California, are
new to the medical world; and its extraor-
binary effects certainly warrant the conclu-
sion that it is a compound of agents hitherto
unknown. popularity is any criterion,

Some two or three weeks. ago the
shop of Hitchcock & Rima, of this
place, was broken into and a couple of
guns stolen. On Friday last it was as
certaincd that some half dozen small
boys ranging from eight to thirteen
years of age had planned and executed
the robbery. The oldest of the boys
was arrested and fined So and costs.
We forbear publishing the names of
those who were guilty out of regard to
them and their parents. There is one
thing however We cannot forbear saying
t. the parents; if your boys are from
home evenings know where they are, if
from home for amusement don't let the
saloons Guido you in giving their places
more attractions than you give your
home, for your children. Give them
plenty of useful and instructive books,
find time to converse with them and
above all stay away from questionable
places Of resort yourself and help make
home pleasant to them, join in their
sports and if they are to have any in
nocent games of amusement no matter
whether it be cards or something else
have them at home where You will know
all about their associates and the inhu-
ences they exert.

One week ago last Sunday at the
Barnes school house, northeast from
Kendallville, where the ordinance OF
baptism was to be administered one OF
the candidates declined. The clergy
man thereupon attempted to ridicule
the candidate into compliance by imita-
ting the language of one who first at
tempts to confess publicly his faults,
with the tone and features distorted
from weeping as in their case. Sensible
persons present. say it was the
most repulsiye exhibition they ever saw
in the pulpit. Our own impression of
the man is that he has mistaken his
calling; he should seek the position of
2nd clown in some fourth class circus.
