ONCE MORE A WIDow.-The
once famous beauty, and three
times married Sallie Ward is
once more a widow, in Louis
vile, Ky. Her first adventure
in the matrimonial stock mar
ket, was with the wealthy son OF
Abbott Lawrence, from whom
she speedily obtained a divorce.
Her next adventure was with
DIR. Hunt, a fashionable gentle
man OF great wealth, who was
considerable enough to commit
suicide by jumping from a
fourth story window in the NOR
al city OF Chicago. She next
married V. P. Armstrong, a
wealthy, retired pork merchant
of Louisville, whose recent
death gives her a right once
more to enter the matrimonial
market. She was once the most
beautiful woman in America.
But portion of her life has
been stormy.

JAS. HAYDocK, a man who

We are assured OF this fact by
letter to the BANNER from

Although we have had the

we intend to be meddlesome,

By way of adding a little
variety--not that the exercises
are at all monotinous as con-
Quoted suppose the President

names the readers and musi>

to name each q word of donbt-

ance Of future lexicopraphers,
but for the benefit or amuse-
ment of the club2 For example:
the word etiquette is one of dali
ly use and yet we will venture
the value of good Havana,
that a majority of those who
use it accent the wrong sylla-

PEACE RElGNs.

At no time since tlie first
gun was fired at Fort Mou!trie,
until the last few weeks, could
the caption at the head of this
article be truthfully said to be
the ruling policy of all the gov
ernments of all the States. The
spirit which is now animating
the people, is essentially one OF
peace. The mistaken and mis-
chievous notion which had been
carefully instilled into the minds
of the negroes, by designing
parties, that Democratic rule
and Democratic triumphs, meant
their reinstatement. has been
disproved to them, tor in al! the
States recently slave holding
local self government, under
Democratic sway, is now tri-
umphant, aud the colored man
is realizing that his right are
better protected, and his inter-
ests more carefully guarded,
than they were when those who
arrogoted to themselves the
special guardianship of the ne
gro, were revealing in all the
offices of the land, from the
chief executive down to the
constables and police force.
Never again will the colered
maa give his confidence to
strangers, whose only claim to
his confidence, is that he is pro-
fuse in words and blatant in
his professions of regard Cor the
negro, and the self styled cham
pion OF the negroes rights.
All eyes have tor a long time
been turned to South Carolina
and Louisiana, and the hopes of
those who believed they saw the
silver lining OF peace in local
government and Democratic
rule, have not only not been dis
appointed, but they have been
even more than realized. The
little bow of promise has, under
the wise policy OF Hampton and
Nichols, been expanded into a
luminous cloud, which covers
each of the States whose exc
cutives they are. Equal laws
equal protection were promised
to all, without distinction OF
race or color-and these are
daily being melted ont. The
first fruits Of this policy, are
peace and confidence, the sue
ceeding onces will be prosperity
and plenty. Phe waste places
will be rebuilt. Industry will
confidently look for its reward,
and will not be disappointed.
Want and restitution will be
among the things spoken of,
but not seen and felt; in short a
new era of prosperity and hap
piness is now awaiting the peo-
pie of the South, and they
should notbe slow to realize the
great benefits TO be derived
| therefrom.

WHAT NExr2-There is no
end to the coinage OF new words
which circulate as current as if
they had passed through the Sc
we're ordeal of the classic mint,
and received its approving
stamp. Shades of the departed,
what would ye think of such
words as hymened, suicided, en-
Unused, matrimonied, and Their
hundred cousins, not to be found
in the dictionaries!

DUTY OF SOUTHERN MEN.

If the South intends to be
prosperous and independent,
now that the question of local
self government has been decid-
ed in her favor, and may be said
to be fully inaugurated. there is
another question to which her
sons should lose no time in di-
recting their attention. Our al
fusion is to manufactures.
! These cannot be established in
day, nor can the various ones
needed, all be started at the
same time
1t is not nee essary in order to
start manufactures, that one
man should be sole owner of an
establishment. One may be a
farmer a merchant or a protes-
sional gentleman, and yet con-
tribute something to the enter
prise alluded to. In all places
where manufactures have been
successfully established, they
are not the result of individual
labor, but of combinations OF il,-
dividuals.
1t does seem to US that in a
county possessing the wealth that
Washington does, there should
be no difficulty in getting up a
joint stock company having for
its object the manufacture of
plantation implements, at the
least. 1t is false economy for
the farmer to buy his wagons,
his plows, and even his axe and
hoe handles abroad. 1t would
be better for him to buy thei e
articles manufactured at home,
even if he had to pay a little
more for them, though there is
no probability that he would
have to do so-it made at
home.
Corn and cotton which were
cultivated with a St. Louis or
Cincinnati made plow, are haul
ed TO the bnrns and depot plat
forms ON White Water wagons.
The exhausting flow of money
from the country for these ar
ticles alone, is one that can
easily be stopped, and should
be.
Who among us will have the
honor of taking the first steps
to inaugurate a joint stock
manufacturing company9 1.-THE
enterprise was started, the stock,
payable in quarterly ms tall
ments, would soon be taken.
The benefits that would soon
manifest themselves, would in
duce others to embark in simi-
lar industries. To grow only
corn and cotton, and to manu-
facture nothing, is to make our
selves the voluntary servants,
not to say slaves, ct others.
The South has been producing
the raw material for others to
work up, about long euough.
Let her try new departure.

About the time the Colorado

in Waller county, emptying in
to the Brazos. We have never
heard of any increase from
these.

GIN. j. E. Johnston is at
San Antonio, among his early
friends, for at and near that
place, his first days of military
service were spent. He is trav-

moves aloag in quiet manner,
studiously avoiding anything
like public receptions and grand
displays. The name of a man
really great, has no need of the
cheap and fimsy aid of being
heralded.
