The Future Of the South.

Some OF the Radical journals-now that
Grant is secure for the next four years-are
predicting that the South will find more favor
Mt his hands, and even some Southern journals
are more hopeful. We confess that 10 us the
outlook is not SO cheerful. 1t might lie that
Grant, if left TO pursue his own counsels, NAV
somewhat change his policy, but there is little
nope with President borne into power with
the whlrlwind Of popular favor-surrounded
ny Congress overwhelming in its majority
looking to recent results as an endorsement of
MI former acts, and surrounded by such men
as Butler, Morton, Conkling, Nye, Blaine,
Cameron and others Of that ilk-inen who
are 10 shape the legislation of the country.
and in whose breasts dwell no feeling of sym
pathy for the down-trodden Sonih. From snch
MS these it is hoping against hope. Gen. Grant
certainly has it in his power 10 make for him

the theatre of action, if he Will cut loose from
the bold bad men with whom he is surrounded

hour and take broad and phanthropic view
Of the situation. | it took blood 10 save the
Union from ACKNOWLEDGMENT it takes a love for
that Union to cement it together The simple
act OF 9race-already promised grant am
nesty 10 ali without exception, Is matter of
small consequence to them and the country.
But there are hearts bleeding in the South,
whose stay and prop are suffering in North

the exercise of that clemency which, if exerci-
sed, will raise him higher in the worlds est;-

no necessity whatever exists for the presence
OF troops at the South-they are doing no
good, but are goading the people to madness

GRATIFYING. must be n source of graft
cation TO every friend of Hon. John Richie
TO know that, Notwithstanding all the assaults
upon his character by INSCRIPTIONS men, that
his competitor, Mr.. Lowndes, ran about three
hundred and fifty votes behind Grant in Fred
erick county, several hundred behind Grants
vote in Washington county, and also behind
in Montgomery county. The only county in
which Lowndes ran ahead of Grant was in
Allegany county, and this fact we suppose was
owing to the open desertons in that county
of gentlemen who had formerly acted with the
Democratic party. Lowndes rode into Office
on Grants back and Greeley's weight nailed
Richie down.-Fredcrick Chizins

Returned Confederates.

The following letter from 8 NJ. Fulton,
Esq, of Grayson county, Va, relating how
two Confederate soldiers have just returned 10
their homes, appears in the last issue of the
Wytheville, (Va.) Enterprise. The history Of
Pool is one Of peculiar interest, replete with ro-
nance and sadness. Although, right Of pos
session is strong legal title, we think " the
other fellow" in view Of all the circumstances,
ought not to deny Pool and his vito happy
reunion after their Ten years separation. The
letter bears date Summerfeld, Grayson conn
ty, Va, November LIST, and is as follows:
Editor Enterpriss-A man by The name Of
William Ii Snlyth, of Allegheny county, stay
cd with mefast night, on his way home. Said
Smyth wasa Confederate soldier, in the 4th
~ G.. Regiment, Co. G.. He was captured nj
the battle of Kernstown, and carried to Point
Lookout, thence 10 Fort Delaware, and from
there he was transported on board the U s,
gunboat Cola, commanded by Captain Win
nette, on the Atlantic Ocean, where he and
man by the name Of Alfred Pool, from this
neiqhborhood, have been kept ever snce-not
even allowed TO come 10 land. The boat was
stove about the LIST of August last, and the
crew, taken up by another vessel was carried
10 West Point, and thence TO Norfolk. Va,
from which point Smyth and Pool made their
escape. Pool has not vel reached home, from
the fact that he was taken sick on the road
with chills aud fever. These men have been
badly clothed, fed on army rations, and have
never received one cent Of pay for their ten
years service to the United States.
Pool belonged to that noble company that
went from this connty-the ''Grayson Dare
Devils" He had but recently married when
he went iuto the Army, and his wife gave
birth to a child after he entered the service
which he has never seen. A the battle Of
Kernstown be was shot through the breast,
and as no iidings ever reached his friends az
forwards concerning him, he was supposed to
be dead. His wife, taking this view of it
married second husband, and she and her
new husband are living now within mile of
my house. The question now arises, when
Pool retarns whose wife will this woman be
II is an awkward predicament, TO say the least
Of it, for woman to be placed in.
Yours, truly,

The VorE OF VIRGiKA.-The official vote Of
: Virginia shows falling off of 30, ss4 from the
vote of 1869, when Il gave Walker a majority
of near 10000. Grant carries the State by
majority of less than 1000. Enough voters in
one county alone-Augusta-s at home,
which would have given the State TO Greeley
The same is true of Maryland, for altho' Gree
ley carries the State by small majority, vo-
tiers enough staid from the polls to have thrown
the State for Greeley by a majority of thou
sands. 1t is simply, ridiculous, then, to claim
either Of these States for Grant.

GEN. LEES RooM.-The Nashville Union
and American says; A gentleman residing in
this city, and who returned from Washington
aud Lee University of Virginia, relates some
peasants facts connected with the last days Of
Gen. Lee. He says that the private room in
the University, which the General occupied,
has been left just as it was when he went out
of it on the morning he took TO his bed, and
from which he never arose The General went
into his room at the usual hour that morning,
put on his slippers, took a seat near n window
from which he drew the curtain partially back
and began reading copy of the Nashville
Union. He had been complaining of feeling
unwell, and after a short time he laid the pa
per on the table and left the room, never more
to return. To-day the visitor TO the Universi-
ty is shown the room, which he is allowed TO
enter, but is prohibited from touching any
thing. On the dust covered table he sees the
paper as il dropped from the hand of the chief
tain, and near the chair, which is party turn
ed around, his slippers The curtain is in the
same position in which the General had placed
it, and in the inkstand is the deeply-corroded
PEN just as it had been left when last used a
guard is mounted at the door every day 10
see that nothing about the room is disturbed
by any one visiting it.

WANTS NO CnARITY.-We only echo the
opinion expressed by many, and in some in
stances to their honor, by those who have
been among the heaviest losers when we say !:
1t will not be consistent with the selfrespect
and resources Of Boston to allow itself to be
the recipient Of funds from abroad, rendered
to relieve distress. The noble, prompt and
numerous offers Of such funds call for hearth
est gratitude. But our case is not like that Of
Chicago and VIC have ample means to take
care of all the desttntion within our borders

TO the unemployed will of course be welcome
from any quarter; but ii would be false pre-
tence 10 allow the impression TO prevail that
we need money gifts for charity. For the
credit of the city, and as matter of Just pride,
our great calamity must not tempt us to ac-
cept sympathy in the form Of material dona-
tons as if we had claims upon such benevo-
icnce, however literally and kindly pressed
upon us.--BostoR Transcript

AN EPIzooTIc WARNING A man by the
name OF Becker, who resides near Quarryville.
New York, owned couple of horses that had
the distemper. In cleaning out the managers,
the other day, the virus came in contact with
a hesh-wound on his hand. In short time
his hand and arm became so terribly inllamed
and swollen, they had to be ampu:ated. Soon
after the amputation he died. Persons own
ing horses cannot exercise too much prudence
in this respect, as the matter from this distem-
ter is rank poison to the human system

FIRE-PRooF BuILnlSGs. american dr.
fisan now has the floor on the subject of fire.
proof buildings. Its plan is novel and simple,
and it now remains for experts to pronounce
on its effectiveness. The Artisan thinks that
we should 'make up the partition of walls of
buildings in manner analogous TO sectional
steam boilers, and no fire would be communi-
Gated from one building to another. A thing so
evident should have attracted the attention Of
architects long before this. In this way,
iron, which by itself is not fre-proo6ng
material, can by tue most economical use Of
water, be made TO withstand the severest or
deal. The ron-clad water-spaces need not be
more than one inch in thickness, and need
never be subjected TO a hydraulic pressure of
more than three or four feet head. These
walls can, therefore, be made of thin metal.
They can be supplied with water from the
common water-seryice, or from tanks placed
at the tops Of buildings. In case Of fire, the
turning of single cock would supply them
with water, and the temperature of the parti-
tons could never rise above 2l2 degrees
Fahrenheit till the water had boiled away. In
this way, not 1.-THE of the water now vainly

The Quagga, asubstitute for the Horse

From the Cincinnati Commercial
Probably most of our readers know no more
OF the quagga, than what they have learned
by seeing its picture in the school Biographies,
or in books of African travel Many natural
lists think that Africa was the original coun-
try OF the horse, and there is very little doubt
that it was in Northern Africa that the horse
was first brought under the subsection of man.
In Africa also the quagga is found, and
there, in like manner it has been domcsticai-
ed. The quagga has the form, light figure,
and small head and ears of the horse 1T is
swift and strong, docle and obcdient, and ca
silly domesticated. 1t is capable of every vari-
ETY. of service performed by the horse, and
naturaliss say that, by little care on the
part of man, it might be rendered an exceed
;ngly valuable beast Of burden. 1t is about
four feet high at the shoulders and neck has
slender legs and an assinine tail. 1t is an ex-
ceeding beautiful animal. Its neck and fore
parts are dark brown, elegantly striped with
broad black bands it has dark line on The
back It's hinder parts are light brown, and il
has white legs Button believed that the quag-
ga was originally a hybrid between the horse
and zebra but if this be so its hybridity has
not inerfered with its permanent powers of
propagation. 1t has an advantage over the
horse, in that its flesh is savory, though Of
rather course fibre, which makes it all tile
more attractive to the natives The horse has
been eaten, and, at The present day, is used
for food 10 some extent in Paris but horse
meat is too rank for the palate, and the at
tempts of French saUans to introduce it among
the higher classes have not been successful
There would be no such difficulty in regard to
the quogga, Quaggas are found wild in large
herds ON the plains of Southern Africa; and
though swift and alert they are not hard to
catch. They could be brought to this coun-
try by the thousands in the course ola year or
two. Some years ago an Englishman took
number of quaggas to London, and the people
were delighted at seeing in the streets team
of quaggas harnessed to a curricule.

The CHICKEN EPIDEMIC. The New York
Heruld speaks of the disease which has lately
broken out among the fowl creation as follows:
Up the Hudson, and from the highlands and
lowlands of this river back to the Susquehan-
ma, and how much further we know not, a ter
rible disease has broken out among the poultry
Chickens are dying from it by the hundreds,
and ducks, geese and turkeys in the market
are said 10 betray evidences Of the same mala-
dy. 1t appears to resemble the cpiZooty; the
fowl affected has a running at the nose But,
in addition TO this symptom of catnrrh the
victim becomes dizzy, its head swells and it
soon dies of cerebrospinal meningitis. From
the latest information on the subject it appears
that this disease is really assuming the form
of a destructive pestilence among our domestic
fowls. Should this pesiileuee continue to
spread AS rapidly MS it has been developed, we
can only hope that at least our beef. pork and
mutton will he spared for Thanksgiving Day
