their trip as far south as Atlanta, Georgia,
from which place they returned to Washington
via Lynchburg, Va. The President, on &C.
count of his engagements-having previously
arranged to be in Washington on Tuesday
last-was compelled to decline invitations to
extend his trip farther South. A deputation
from Augusta waited upon him, urging him
to visit that city, which invitation he was re.

dental party were met at Louisville, KY. by
Governor Hampton, who remained with them

the Governor left them, returning to Colum-

"A Chattanooga, Tenn, dispatch Of the 23rd,
gives the following gloomy account of the
effect of a freshet in the Black Warrior val
lev: The abundant crops cf cotton, corn and
fodder, in the valley of the Black Warrior,
Alabama, have been entirely swept away.
The river suddenly rose sixty.three feet,
which is within two feet of as high as it was
in the terrible freshet of June, 1872. The
planters in that vicinity had just commenced
picking cotton and had not hauled the corn
and fodder from the fields. 1t is estimated
that 10000 bales of cotton have been Destroy
ed. Most of the planters are ruined, and it
is doubtful if the actual necessaries of life
can be secured now. The town of Tuscaloo-
sa is about at the head of the devastated sec
ton. The merchants had advanced heavily
on these growing crops.
- The Louisville Courier. Journal, describ'
ing the manner in which the appearance of
Governor Hampton was greeted in that city,
SAYS: "The President, as has been his custom,
introduced most of the speakers himself, and
next brought forward Gov. Wade Hampton,
whom he referred to as a noble, patriotic
man. The enthusiasm on Hamptons appear
ance was most intenae. 1t might be said to
have reached fever heat. 1t was fearfully
contagious. To the observer it looked as if
the crowd intended to keep on cheering him
for an hour Cheer after cheer rent the air,
and again it was repeated, until finally the
crowd must have become exhausted and was
compelled to quiet. The gallant South Car
olina Governor was overwhelmed by the ex-
hibition of kindliness and even devotion to
him. At last he was given an opportunity to
proceed" -,

While we must always decide what to admit and what to exclude from our columns, we cordially invite suggestions, contri- buttons, statements of noteworthy facts, etc. We are always ready and anxious to respectfully listen to anyone who even thinks he has good matter for pub fcation.

Not day passes that sOme one does not come from the mines, or farms, or stock rang es, or mountains, or valleys, who can tell us of new discoveries, new corners, new projects, new developments, of births, mirriages or deaths, &c. &c.

Colonel Poston's New Book.

Colonel Charles D. Poston, of Flor ence, is the author of a very curious and interesting book, entitled "Ihe Sun Worshipers of Asia" The well known firm of A. Roman < Co, ef San Francisco, are the publishers. We have just received a copy but have not had time to review It as we intend, butfro hasty examination we can justly say that the novel subject and happy style of the writer make the book at once interesting and instructive, and partic- ularly so 10 this section of America, since it is possible that the religion Of some class of our natives may bear a resemblance to that of the sun worship CTS of Asia.
 The book is neatly bound and is now ready for circulation. Copies may be obtained of the publishers at 70 cents each.

Popular Journals.

The Enterprise of Prescott has been sold 10 John H. Marion and w H. Weber The new proprietors say they intend to follow in the footprints of their predecessor, Judge Paul Weber. We hope they will.
 Judge Weber was fast bringing his paper from the degraded state in which he found it, into a position that was alike agreeable at home and command ed respect and confidence abroad. This pleases us. We like to see all our Territorial journals popular, not only st home but abroad Popular journals makes a popular country.
 A desire to excel in public favor IS 6 commendable ambition in any edi- tor. In shis particular we hope that our feeble ray may sooner or later vie with the bright lights about Us. But it is a mistaken idea that a newspaper, in order to thrive in some particular section, should emit a proper amount of sluF and in7cctive against every other section that has the wealth to possess, and the energy to sustain a lo- cal paper IL is all right to make home and home interests prominent, but does it injure any one section to admit that other sections have abund- ant resources and are enjoying great prosperity: Is il justice to the Terri tory to deny its The newspaper man who can see NO good men or things out side of the narrow limits of his own section is in fact 8 paper The popular verdict at once is that be IS biased in favor of his own section and prejudiced against every other. And naturally enough such a verdict ear ries with it the loss of respect and confidence.
 It will be a matter of much regret with us should we fail to do justice to every interest of our own section, but we should be equally ashamed should we be found guilty of intentional injus- flee towards any other section. As we announced at the beginning, our pur- pose is to secure the greatest good 10 the most people We shall adhere to this purpose. We serve our section best; first, by zealousiy advocating and defending it's interests; and second, by displaying the same zeal in advocating and defending the best interests of the entire Territory, of which we form an important part. Thus local and Terri sOrial interests are equally well served by the same course of action.
