patriotic, no greed Of gain, no Wis
ions Of official glory no emoluments
Of Office warp these gigantic intel
lects. No sordid love bends these

It is pure affection (of recent birth
it is true) for the colored man.
LETTER FROM BATON ROUGE.
From our own Correspondent
BATON ROUGE, July "a, 1872.
EDrron REPUBLICAN Since my
last communication our citizens have
held their Parish Convention and eff
fected the permanent and thorough
organization of the Liberal Repub-
lican Party, and now East Baton
Rouge rejoices in unity. At that Par
ish Convention every ward ( - in
number) was represented by full del
egations and some Of them in part by
colored men. The clear headed rep
ublicans and democrats here have
dropped old feuds, buried the Ratchet,
s,nashd the war club and now sit
serenity within the shades of reason
smoking the calumet:
The impression prevails here, as it
does throughout the entire state, that
the only hope Of redemption from
the miserable rule of ignorance, stu
pidity and extravaganza alone de-
ponds upon the success of the Liberal
movement. 1t is urged now by life
long democrats that the party has
outlived its usefulness, if such be tue
case I say let 'er depart, for, as faith,
full children we have nursed and
nourished that diseased body until
now our strength fails us, our hope
abandons us, and as is natural to do
we take consolation from our nearest,
most congenial and best neighbor-
Liberal Republican. We take coun-
eel Of him in this hour Of worst peril,
and he in turn accepts whatever wis.,
dom we putin the ba!ance-both agree
to unity their wisdom and strength
and both now go hand-in-hand re-
CARELESS of any past differences, with
but one common object, and that is
for the election of a State and Ma
tional administration that will give
the white man and the black man
his rights as they are laid down in
the law. No one ever lost anything
by acting square and honest with his
neighbor-always giving unto Cesar
that which was Caesars.
In Homer the people are a unit
for the Liberal party. In their par
ish meeting they adopted resolutions
condeming the holding of State
Conventions in New Orleans and
urged that the August Convention
be held at Baton Rouge. The N.
0. Republican spoke favorably of it
the other day, but I fear the time is
too short now to admit Of any change
of place.
The crop prospects in this parish
are said to be splendid. I have con-
versed with several planters from
different sections of our parish and
they all agree that prospects are
good but they express much appre-
hension of the near approach of the
ravenous cotton worm. I have seen
some specimens Of the worm, already
preyisg upon the crop, but I can not
agree that they are a genuine arti-
Gle. 1 pronounce them grass worm.
The fact is we have had beautiful
season for work and the crops are
very clear Of grass, therefore, as the
worm migrates and finds no grass to
feed on he is necessarily compelled
to feed on the green leaves OF the
cotton plant.
Yours,
WHITE HAT.
The following is the way they call

TUESDAY, AUGUST Il, 1872.

The general trade of the chief Atlantic cities
is not as yet active, but rather dull, but there
is an improvement in the tone of the markets.
while all indications point to reasonably ac-
tive trade The New York Bulletin says we
have practical illustration of the consequences
resulting from the uncertainty Of values i'll the
present condition Of the fall trade. In order to
take advantage of the reduction of duties by
the new tariff, buyers delayed their purchases
until the LIST of August, and then it was found
that the rise in gold almost covered the reduc-
ton of duty so that when the interest on the
capital that was forced to lie idle was added,
importers were unable to make the reductions
anticipated by buyers

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
CrIpEpER, Aug. l0.-A meeting of the citi.
zcns of this town was held on Friday evening,
9th inst, at the Town Hall, to organize a
Campaign Greeley and Brown Club. \ large
number Of names were enrolled, all the ncces-
sary officers chosen, and every requisite action
taken to make this an efficient working organi-
zation. Great good will result from its opera
tons, and their results will clearly appear at
the election in November next.
After its organization, 10 response to loud
calls, Mr.. James Barbour, in speech of fiji,
teen minutes, defined his position, and clearly,
pontedly, aud fnrcibly presented the real vital
issues involved in his election, and showed the
great and necessary importance of Greeley $
election to a full and effective recognition and
assertion of our political rights.
His great popularity aud influence over the
people Of this county attaches more than the
usual Importance to his position and views of
public affairs and his hearty and earnest advo
cacy of Horace Greeley as the only safe, rea,
sonable, and sure means of our dcverance at
the present, will confirm all wavering persons
hcrcabouts, and will rally the Conservative party
to united support Of the Liberal ticket.
Mr.. L. L. hill, in response to loud calls, also
addressed the meeting In a speech Astounding
in argument, wit, and sharp thrusts at the
Radical party.
Mr.. Hill is one of our best and most effective
popular speakers, aud does both himself and
the Conservative party great harm by allowing
his modesty to keep him quiet at home Instead
of actively entering into the canvass. He has
talents and gifts to make him most eff cient
popular orator, the benefits of which should
not be lost at present. CULPEPER
THE ALBERT MEMORABILIA magnificent tri-
butte to the memory of Albert, the Prince
Consort Of Queen Victoria, has just been COM
pletcd in London, on the site of the Great Tx
hibition Of 1851. One figure, however, a sta
tue Of the Prince; remains to be supplied, ow-
ing to the illness of she scu ptor Mr.. Foley,
and will not be ready for some time. The
memorial has been ten years building, at cost
Of nearly 100 000l. OF this sum 35,O00l were
raise by private subscription, 10000 by an APP
peal to the working classes of the kingdom and
colonies, and 50,000l were voted by Parliament.
The design selected was prepared by Mr. Gil.
bert Scott, and comprised colossal statue of
the Prince, placed beneath magnificent shrine
or tabernacle and surrounded by works of sculp.
ture illustrating the arts and sciences he foster
ed and the great undertakings he originated.
The design, it is said, has been beautifully rca-
lized, and forms one of the graudest monu-
ments ever erected.

public purse has been too small, while his re-
gard for his own, has been altogether too great

The Philadelphia Ledger in its report of the
Pennsylvania coal trade, says that the trade is
very quiet, with little apparent prospect Of i'm
provement. Some few orders are coming in,
but they are barely sufficient to hold up prices.
As applicable to the trade in the Schuylkill re-
gion this remark is especially true. The Lchigh
region gives rather better sign, and as rule
production is thought to be paying better there
than in some parts Of the other regions

Moral. COURAGE OF all towards ;hc NOR.
al coward il the most contempublc; Henry
Ward Bccrher says:
81 don blame man when he sees squad Of
cavalry coming down upon him, if he takes to
the woods pretty lively, but a man who makes
his resolution in calm moments, good, true rcso-
lulons, and when in company does not have the
courage to avow them, is not excuSable There
be many who will equivocatc There's many a
man that having done certain things is ashamed
to admit it; he hidcsit.
Now though the telling of the truth is some
times bitter, there is no gold 50 valuable as that
man 5 reputation who cant lie when brought to
trial" True Mr.. Beecher, true, but how little
of this genuine moral courage after all is found
in the world Geo. Washington, it is said, could
not tell lie; but with that single exception, we
do not remember to have seen on record any
where an account Of u man who could not, if he
would, do SO occasionally.
