Natioaal Feeling at the South.

The survivors of Orr's Rifles, a
regiment of South Carolina troops
i'm the Confederate service, held
their first reunion in Walhalla, South
Carolina. a few days since. Nine
companies were represented by two
hundred and fifty men. Thirteen
hundred men enlisted in the regi-
ment fourteen years ago. The
principal speech on the occasion was
ma le by General Samuel MCGOWAN,
who commanded the brigade to which
the Rifles belonged. In closing he
said:
This reunion of old soldiers is
intended, and we must not allow it
to have the effect ofrekindling again
the old fires Of strife. BY no means.
This meeting is only a social and
kindly renewal of old ties, associa-
tions and friendship. 1t is we'll oc-
casionalIy to refer to first principles
to recall the past and take our
reckOnings. 1t sustains our self-re-
spect. The soldier who did his duty
in times of war was not actuated by
malice. and is always ready to do
his duty in times ofpeace. 1t is not
the soldier who has smelt gunpowder
but the selfish politician who wishes
to perpetuate strife. The true SOL
dier is always just, liberal and mag
nanimous. If the difficulties be-
tween the sections had been left to
the soldiers at Appomattox the
bloody chasm' would have been
crossed at once by. an impro"ised
pontoOn bridge. the works of both
armies. We are all now one people
and able to remain so. The f;.tes
have so decreed it. and it is the part
of good sense. good policy, and hu.
manity itself, that we should labor

The Wheat Market.

From all points come the tidings
that the wheat market has an up
ward tendency. The demand for the
foreign market has had the effect of
forcing spectators in Chicago and
elsewhere 60 advance their bids away
above what a few days since they
turned up their noses at; and here
in our city q heavy sale was made
Monday at 81 % far abroad. In
answer to many friends and anxious
enquirers, we would say that up TO
this time we have seen nothing to
change our estimate of the situation
as to the probabilities of an advance
on the opening price Of the season {;
but ON the contrary, everything goes
to conclusions upon the point. Bach

SCRIBBLE.
Prescription for the Cure of


There is a curious prescription i'm
England for the cure ofdrunkenness,
by which thousands are said to have
been assisted in recovering them
selves. The recipe came into no.
toriety through the efforts of John
Vine Hall, father of Rev. Newman
Hall and Captain Hall, commander
Of the Great Eastern steamship. lie
had fallen into such habitual druken-
ness that his utmost effort to regain
himself proved unavailing. At
length he sought the advice of an
eminent physician, who gave him a
prescription, which he followed faith
fully for several months, and at the
end of that time he had lost all de-
sire for liquors, although he had for
many years been led captive by a
most debasing appetite. The recipe
which he afterwards published, and
by which SO many have been assist
ed to reform, is as follows: '.Sul-
phate of iron, five grains; magnesia,
ten grains, peppermint water, eleven
grains spirit of nutmeg, one d-achm;
to be taken twice a day" This
preparation acts as tonic and stiln-
ulant. and so partly supplies the
place of the accustomed liquor, and
prevents that absolute physical and
moral prostration that follows a
sudden breaking off from the use OF
stimulating drinks.

Impending Starvation I'm the
South.

Columbus, Ga, Enquirer.
Should the drought continue, star
vation will stare this section in the
face, as crops will be ruined. Cot
ton is shedding as fast as it can; corn
looks as if it had been boiled until
all the life had gone out. Small
trees are dying for the want of
moisture. a gentlman who rode
into the country Sunday says he saw
at least FIVE hundred dead trees. In
coming out of the court house yard
yesterday leaves twisted and brown
ed were falling as thiclly as during
the fall. Farmers are very gloomy
For three weeks now no rain has
fallen and the heat has been more
intense that any summer since the
war.
We are told on good authority of
one hundred-acre field near Shorter's s
depot on the line of the Western
Railroad, in Alabama, which was
planted in cotton between April lst
aud 9th. The drought has been SO
bad that not a seed has come mp.
In every quarter in Georgia and
Alabama planters are snpplicating
for rain. Some very little must
have fallen around Columbus last
afternoon. but hardly enough to wet
the top of ground.
The drought is playing sad havock
with the corn and cotton and in
some places they have had no rain
since May. and their crops are utter
failures, also the crater part of the
cotton belt. No rain has fallen in
from four to six weeks. Thermome-
ter ranging from 81 TO SO deg. 1t
Is estimated that the crops has been
cut off from 25Ato 33 per cent. from
the calculations three weeks ago.

What Will Our Workingmen Do 2

The curse Of Chicago is her enormous load
of taxation. There is no city on the CONT
nent of equal population 50 heavily taxed,
nor is there a city in which the working pop
ulation are, and Of right should be, so deeply
interested in the passage Of laws relating to
taxes as the WorkingmeH OF the city of Chi
cago For there is no city in America, the
workingmen of which own 50 large a proper
ton Of real estate as those of the western
metropolis, and for this reason If no other.
they should keep a close vigilance on the ap-
preparations, contracts, etc, etc, OF the
spending, or more properly speaking squAnd-
ering Of the peoples money.
From every quarter Of the city, wherever
and whenever you meet a workingman, his
first complaint is his taxes-they are 50 heavy
that lie considers it is better to rent property
than to own it, for he contends that the rent
Of average house is less than the taxes he
has to pay for one Be that as it may, it is
very evident that the rate Of taxation ON
city property is exorbItant and it is high
time that our workingmen should take some
step looking to the better adjustment Of tax
able property. A reform IN this direction
must be accomplished OF else there will be a
very considerable increase Ia the tax sale list
and the poor mans property will swell the
bulk OF it, But who Is to stop 1t Not the
politicians. for the revenue nov is not sufhci
ent to hquidAte their extravaganza.
We must have a consolidation Of all the
good men of the city. Men who will not be
afraid to handle the corruptionists with un-
gloved hands.
There are thousands in Chicago who have
no party affiliations, and thousands too. who
have become thoroughly disgusted with the
caucus and ring systems by whose munlpula-
tions evil and incompetent men are foIsted
into office.
Our workingmen must strike at the root Of
the tree they must not try to Annihilate
either the Republican or the Democratic par
ty. for these will always exist, if not IN name
they will at least in principle. No They

partment. 1t is this Fangoas element which
manifests itself on or about the eve of an
election that has always retarded the onward
march Of the workingmen they are the rule
or ruin party, and the sooner they are put on
the shelf the better it will be for the pro-
gress Of the cause. Let our workingmen
show their hands. Those among them who

erty 10 seek other avOcatiOns during the win

outdoor work is comparatively stagnant during
this period. and that for one situation vacant
there are dozen applicants, so it will be
seen that in the main we must depend upon
our trade and the coal delivery season for OBJ
tanning our livelihood.
Again, as a rule the coal beavers of this
city do not receive their wages regularly,
frequently having to wait from one to two
months for them, aud in many instances the
season has closed before . settlement has
been effected, and this too from men who
now grossly misrepr sent our position and
demur to our claims as exhorbitant, but who
have no compuctions to raise dollar per ton
to the consumer. 40 matter how large the
supply, whenever cold snap affords them
fimsy pretense for doing so. And it is a
well known fact that for years the Coal Elk
change of this city has regulated the price of
coal more arbitrarily than any trades union
has attempted to regulate the wages of its
members
In conclusion, we desire to say that, while
we do not countenance a resort to LAw-less
violence under any circumstances, we are
equally determined that no threats will in
any measure intimidate us or prevent us
from securing what we deem to be our Just
claims, which justice to ourselves and fami-
lies demand, an honest days wages for an
honest days work,-and that we have an
equal voice with our employers in determin-
ing what those wages shall be.
