ke mysterious disappearance of a Mrs.

Rendered by many of our readers,
rcars and wife had lived for some time
puckwater, south of Eureka. The

individual money, several hum

Hon. Alexander ii. stephens

The vindictiveness and dog-iD-the.man-
ger spirit which animates the ultra Bour-
bon Democratic press. finds fitting illustra-
ton in the repulsive manner in which the
Hon. Alexander H. stephens is attacked
by them. Though il is well known that
we differ, politically, with Mr.. Stephens,
we cannot avoid condemning the manner
in which this distinguished gentleman is
being assailed by the Southern press.
Not even the unblemished character. the
Spartan honor, the integrity of lifetime,
his glorious devotion to principle, or his
services as one of the purest OF American
statesmen, have been able to shield him
from personal abuse and vulgar aspersion.
1t is sorry sight to see man, who,
during long and illustrious life, has
labored for the good of bis section, Wilt
fled and DETAINED by class of men who
are, as general thing, unworthy to tie his
shoe.latchets, metaphorically speaking,
either morally or intellectually, and yet
this sort declaim the nobility of their
Democracy, and the "chivalry' OF their
rinciples-Heaven save the mark But
we are glad to note that Mr.. Stephens, in
spite of all this causeless yelping, keeps
the even tenor of his way, again lllustrat-
ing the wisdom of Horace, when he says:
THE man resolved, and steady to his trust,
Infiexible to ill, and obstinately just
May the rude Iabbles' insolence despise
Their senseless clamor and tumultuous cries.
