Balloon Reconnaissance,

In his history of the civil war in Amer

lowing anecdote: "While the the two
hostile armies observed each other be-
tween Arlington and Fairfax Court
house, a balloon Was sent up every even

country. 1t was the only means of get
rose above the primeval trees which sur
rounded the former residence of Gen.
eral Lee, the view extended over an un-
dulating country, covered with trees,
dotted here and there by little clearlngs,
and bordered on the west by the long
range OF the Blue Ridge, which recalls
the first lines OF the Jura. Thanks to
the brilliant light which illumines the
last Of autumn day in America, the OBJ
server could distinguish the slightest
details of the country, which appeared
below US like map in relief. But in
vain does the eye seek the apparent
signs Of war. Peace and tranquility
seem to reign everywhere. The greatest
attention is necessary to discover the
recent clearings, at the edge of which
line OF reddish earth marks the new for
tifcations. However, as the day de-
cllnes, we see to the south little blush
lines of smoke, rising gently above the
trees. They multiply by groups and

a strain of military music is heard be- |

THERE are few Republican newspapers
in the South that are worthy of the name;
but the majority of them are simply leeches
upon the party. Among these exceptions
are the New Orleans Republican, the
Greensboro New North State, ssthe HalIey
Yrsinian, the Talladega Mountain Home,
the Mississippi Pilot. Toe are others
equslly worthy of especial mention; but
the majority of them are something like
the Alabama State Journal, in the columns

find no explanation or criticism Of the pro-
ceedings of the revolutionary constitutional
State convention now in session under its

THE canvass in New York presents some
strange and Incongruous features. Mr..
Bigelow, who heads the Democratic ticket,
has been known heretofore as a Republi.
can, never having voted with the Democ-
racy but once, if at all, and pleads guilty
to having coquetted with the Republicans
for the same nomination on their ticket.
On the regular Republican ticket so-called
Liberals are to be found as candidates with
a platform indorsing the integrity of the
National Administration and otherwise re-
pudiating the positions they have assumed
in the past. This certainly does not look,
on the face of it, like weakening of the
strength of Republican principles IN the
Empire State, however much it may indi-
cate somewhat indiscriminate greed for

Rothschilds' circus. The Republicans OF
Alabama owe 1t to themselves to depose
this stupendous old fraud from his assumed
position as the leading Republican editor of
the State, and send him back to Georgia or
the lunatic asylum, where he belongs. As
matters now stand, we are compelled to
rely upon the Associated Press, the oppo-
sition newspapers and other Democratic
agencies for information regarding Repub-
lican affairs in Alabama, when we have
a right to expect that Republican daily,
printed at the capital of the State, will fur
nish US with it. We omitted in the proper

IT Is ALREADY evident that the canvass
in New York will be bitterly personal, and
it seems that the Republicans will have a
decided advantage over their opponents in
this regard, on account of the exceeding
vulnerability of the Democratic candidates.
A correspondent of the Commercial AdUer-
tiser, writing from Highland Falls, the
home Of Mr.. Bigelow, begins his letter
with the following juicy personal allusion
to that gentleman and Mr.. Whitelie Reid:
"'The young man of the powerful mind has
been up here spending the Sabbath with his
friend and brother renegade, Bigelow. 1t is
and fel3Hies hey thieves burglars, cut.thEoats
old proverb over again, Birds Of a feather flock
together Mr.. Reid, of the Tribune, came up
on Saturday and remained at the residence of
his associate in treason all day Sunday. OF
course the young man of the tall tower came
up for the purpose of learning from the Demo-
cratic candidate for Secretary of State how it
was he became connected with Corbin and the
gold conspiracy, which exploded on the BLACK
Friday and to learn the causes for which he
was dismissed from the Times establishment.
Mr., Reid was DESTROYS of knowing one of two
things: Was it because he was partner with
Corbin, or was it that he had turned out fail
ure as editor. The public will be likely to
know all about Bigelow's connection with Jim
Fisk, Corbin, and the bull gold article which
Corbin brought to Bigelow for publication in
the Times"

their political opponents has resulted as

having uttered a libel in asserting that
Governor Tilden committed constructive
perjury when he swore that he paid out no
moneys to improperly influence the election

upon these charges hut they have failed
thus far to accept the invitation. 1t was

ton that he Is lisr, swindler and imposter.
Yet REID is the acknowledged professor "
of Independent journalism, and it seems
that Tilden is his profit.

IT Is To BE regretted that the Republi.
can members of the Alabama Constitutional
Convention, now in session at Montgomery,
have not had sense enough, or the requi-
site political discretion, to develop the true
feeling of their Democratic cotemporaries
regarding the right of secession. They
seem TO have voted blindly and contentedly
with the Democrats for the insufficient
proposition that the South has been
whipped into q temporary Nabnegation of
that right. They should have attempted,
at least, to force a vote on a proposition
that the results of the war have demon
strated that the right of secession is incom-
patible with the principles of true Repub.
licanism. This would have been sufficient,
and would have brought every Democrat
in the Convention to his feet with a dec
laration that such a recognition of the su-
periority of the General Government is
virtually an imputation upon the loyalty
