THE beauties of military government are
illustrating themselves in very striking
manner in Laurens and Newberry counties,
South Carolina, according TO late advices
from that region. Bands Of soldiers are
raiding the towns and villages, waking citi-
zens from their sleep and dragging them off
to be tried before a Federal court for some
imaginary offences. These atrocities are
being committed under authority Of a man
whose invocation in accepting a nomination
for the Presidency was, "I.et us have peacel'

GRANT received c, 445 majority ia Rhode
Island At the late election PadelfoTd, The
Radical candidate for Governor, was urged
upon the Grant platform, and his majority
was 1,157, while the Radical candidate fer
Lieutenant-G Governor is defeated. This
shows a marvellous decline in the populari-
ty of Gen. Grant, in small State, which
can readily be covered with his Office-hold-
ers. No State has yet voted in which there
has not been a most marked and damaging
reduction in the Grant majority.

FROM JACKSON.
Special to the vicksburg HERALDl

JACKSON, March. 5-The gentle
men of the Senate got up this morn
ing with an intention to do some
thing before night, and accordingly
galloped through n large number of
bills that ought and conld have been
passed nearly two months ago.
A resolution was adopted to adj
journ on the 18th. Whether they
can possibly get through with the
important business which they
have not yet touched, between now
and that time is predetermined. and
if they do, the manner of doing so
will be characteristic of assemblies
that know they have neglected
public trusts.
No bills of any particular import
ance passed yesterday or to-day.
The House adopted two sections
OF the Penitentiary bill yesterday,
and worked on it all day. The
Democrats are determined in their
opposition to this bill, which is
nothing else than gigantic rob
berry, pIundering the State of more
than was contemplated by the Rich
dluSOIl W tbt pro-
visions of the bill, a site containing
land suitable for Il large farm will
have to be purchased, Which means
reward for some of the trOOly loil >
committee who will have the matter
in hand, or some of the "party"
A new penitentiary will have to be
built, ami the expense, when every
thIngis complete, is enough to appal
the tax payers of his State, that has
not had fifty cents in money nor its
equivalent in it's treasury for fifty
months! VI hat is the objection to
the present penitenti;lry building {!
1t is sufficient for any purpose.
United States Marshal Pierce has
been in his seat in the Senate for
the last four or five days, but he
wont draw his per diem for the two
months he was not there. OF course
not. kONEWKA.

POLITICAL.-Wcn nave been try
ing TO eschew politics lately, and
have partially succeeded, but oc-
casionally We see SO good an edito.
rial or speech on the subject. that We
cannot refrain from copying it.
Thus it is this week. We have
copied part Of a speech from Judge
CraddOck of Kentucky, and hope no
one into whose hands our paper
fails, will fail to read it. 1t COM
pleteiy squelches out all the editors
around, who advocate the "New

talk SO flippantly about "common
