on the State bonds for January has been

eral army officers may we confidently
| rely for vindication aud justice as to the
! nature of the campaign, and whose testi-
mony will refute the malicious and SLAM

the Democratic party in South Carolina.
With unabated energy and determine

the right and Stunned the wrong, until
the .7th of November gave to them a
grand and enduring victory over public

whose efforts were weak and cowardiy in

The splendid triumph of the Democracy
was destined to meet with obstacles TO its
fulfillment in the chicanery and fraudu-

| whose ingenious devices for oyerthrowing
the will of the people as expressed at
the ballot-box, were only equalled by
their audacity in the methods employed
70 secure this result. 49,.
The record of these transactions is be-

He HAS CONE oVER JORDAN.
Recited at Syracuse by he Rev. Mr.. Ham
mond, the Revivalist.l

'The Master has come over Jordan"
Said Hannah. the mother, one day.
"He Is healing the people who throng Him
With touch of His finger, they say.
Sand now shall carry the children,
Little Rachael and Samuel and John,
I shall carry the baby Esther,
For the Lord to look upon
The father looked at her kindly,
But he shook his head and smiled;
"Now who but doting mother
Would think of thing so wilde
''If the children were tortured by demons,
Or dying of fever, 'twere we'll;
Or had they the faint of leper,
Like many in Israel
''Nay, do not hi lder me, Nathan;
/ feel such burden of care;
If carry it to the Master,
Perhaps / shall leave it there.
'sIf he lay His hand on the children,
Their hearts win be lighter | know;
For a blessing forever and ever
VIII follow them as they co.
So over the hills of Judea,
Along by the vine rows green,
With Esther asleep on her bosom,
And Rachel, her brothers between.
Mong the people who hung on His teaching
Or waited His touch or His word,
Through the row of proud Pharisees listening
She pressed to the feet ofthe Lord.
"Now, why shouidst thou hinder the Master ,
said Peter, "with children like these!
Seest not how from morning till evening
He teaches and heAleth diseased
Then Christ said. % Forbid not the children
Permit them to come unto me
And he took in his arms little Esther,
And Rachel he sat on his knee.
And the heavy heart of the mother
Was lifted all earth's cares above;
And he laid his hand on the brothers,
And blessed them with tenderest love.
And he said of the babes in his bosom,
'Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven"
And strength for all duty's trials
That hour to her spirit was given.

The Reason why Money is so Scarce.

The farmers are the only produc-
ers, and it is through their wheat,
corn, cotton, etc, that money is
brought into the State. But on
the other hand we have to buy ev-
erything manufactured from the
North and West. We buy every
thing from a thresher to an axe
handle, and this takes our money
away, and leaves but little in circu-
lation. We manufacture nothing,
except a few wagons in town, and
most of the timber for them is
brought here in the shape of spokes,
felloes and hounds. If we wish TO
keep our money at home we must
have manufactures. We have an
abundance of wood, but we make
nothing out of it. Our buckets, pals,
tubs, brooms are made where wood
is scarce. We can never be indie
pendent until we utilize the raw ma
terial of all kinds that grows spon-
taneous on our hands. We must
/ learn to be more reliant on our own
| resources and make all we need,
even To our clothes out of the cot
ton andwool we raise.-Fort SR,ith In

There are no criminals from the
ranks of the toilers. The bronzed
hand of the working man made
brawny by toll is seldom stained
by crime. We can always trust a
laboring man Idlers, loafers, and
drunkards are the criminals. All
honor then to the working men.
Let them be fostered and encour-
aged. They are the salt of the
earth. They may sometimes be
goaded to desperation by the OPP
preston of capital. The cries for
bread of their babes may sometimes
drive them to madness; but who
would not rebel against tyrannyi
Who would not fight against the
hand that is reaching out after the
last crumb of bread in the mouths
of his children? Down with the
oppressor, the tyrant, whoever he
may be.

York last winter to go to New Or
leans by water from Pittsburg, as
thousands have done before, and
when he arrived at Pittsburg last
December and found the river fro
zen up, and waited two, three OF
four weeks, and it was still frozen,
his patience would give out and he,
like Captain Mares, would return to
New York and say that the thing is
impossible.
Was not the winter previous to
the last so open that navigation was
not Impeded three days from Pitts
burg to New Orleans? Such, no
doubt, would have been the case
had Capt Mares staid North for an
other season, as he was prepared "a
do. hope the bill appropriating
$4,000 for another expedition, that
is in the hands of the Naval Commit
tee, will pass, and another steam
vessel be fitted out for that purpose
that viii leave New York the last OF
June next, and if she should find
too much Ice to prevent her reach
ing the open Polar Sea, let party
of men follow the wild animals
northward in the fall, and they will
lead him into Captain Symmes' new
world, where the climate is warm
and genial; or if they can't sail on
with their vessel, let them not be
alarmed when they pass the polar
attraction and, their compass points
south when they think they are go
ing north, for they will then have
passed over the verge and into the
hollow of the earth, and they will
come out Of this world again at the
South Pole. Did not Capt. Wad
dell go upon south exploring eXpe
dItlon few years ago, and found
an Open Polar Sea, as in the north
and in entering it found his com
pass had reversed its position, and
was pointing north, when he
thought he was going southwark
and became alarmed and turned
back, when, if he had followed on
as his compass directed, he would
have come out at the North Pole
and would have proven the Symme:

East Tennessee LETTER.

EDIT OR CITIZEN :-Thinking your
many readers would be pleased to
hear something Of East Tennessee,
its people and the home Of Andrew
johnson, send you a few items,
and if you think them worthy OF
notice you can publish the same.
Greenville is seventy-five miles
east of Knoxville on the +. T., V.
d c. railroad, and is a nice little in
land town, situated near the center
of Green county, having | suppose
some fifteen hundred or two thou
sand inhabitants, and surrounded
by hills and a range of mountains
in full view on the east. The graves
of Andrew Johnson and his wife
are near one mile from the court
house, on prominent point in full
view of the railroad. A monument
will be erected soon to the memory
of the ex President, and the travel
ing public can see where the re-
mains of departed worth have been
deposited, there to remain until the
final winding up of all things. One
other place In Greenville deserves
passing notice. 1t is the garden in
which zen. John II. Morgan was
killed during the late war, bat as
that was one of the sad realities of
our unpleasantness, and as we are
trying to forget the past, will dis
miss the subject and say that l am
agreeably surprised at the kind
feelings being cultivated by the
pee pie in the place of bittern ess
and abuse. l find there is little
said about politics, and rarely hear
the war named; if it is, it is some
little incident referred to by some
of the old soldiers. The morals of
this county will compsre with any
portions of the State, and they have
good schools throughout the coun-
ty. The people are sociable and
industrious and do their own work
to a great extent, as there are but
few colored people on the farms.
The lands have been greatly neg
lected and the farmers say they are
not able to improve them as should
be done; consequently, more have
to be cultivated for a support.
Wheat was thin, owing to a dry fall,
but the grain Is good and not in
jured by rust as it was in Middle
Tennessee. Good rains have fallen
in the last few days, reviving the
corn crops and meadows.
The health is remarkably good
and the water is generally good
throughout East Tennessee. The
mountain scenery is magnificent in
places and the pure air is very brae-
ing. 1 suppose very few attend the
watering places, but many come
from the South to East Tennessee
seeking health. l am encouraged
at the treatment strangers receive
from the people of this county, be-
ing generous and kind and very
moderate in their charges. Board
Ing is cheap in town and very low in
the country; and must say that
the people are not only clever and
moral but a church-going people,
and for proof Greenville has more
churches than any town in Tennes-
see of its size.
The CITIZEN is a welcome visitor,
and if l should go farther east or
move west l would not do without
it for double the amount of sub
scription. J. II. E.
