While the stalwart leaders are poison
ing the public mind with misrepresenta-
ton and sectional abuse, the leading
Democrats are proving their patriotism
by seeking to heal the breaches of the
past, and point the road TO mutual
reconciliation of the people of all por-
tions of our common country. General
Chalmers, one of the leading Democrats
of Mississippi, in an address before the
Southern Historical Society recently, ex-
pressed the following conservative views
in reference to secession: "The Democ-
racy under Jackson denied the right of
secession; the great majority of Southern
Democrats, under Calhoun, believed in
it. The attempt to secede resulted in
war. The right of secession was decided
against us by the wager of battle. We
yield obedience to the judgment without
even q desire to set aside the verdict.
TIL. property we sought to save was de-
stroyed by war, and we have now neither
the interest nor the inclination to assert
the right, even though it were freely
admitted to exist. Slavery is dead, and
no Southern statesman would restore it
if he could"

During the past two weeks very heavy
shipments of English gold have been
made to this country for the purpose of
purchasing grain and provisions for that
country. The crops there have been a
terrible failure, and the result is that
there is very great demand for bread
stuffs, which have to be supplied princi-
pally from this country. Fortunately,
immense crops of wheat were made
throughout the United States, and a fine
crop of corn is also assured in the great
West, which is becoming literally the
granary of the world. The shipment of
gold here is q practical answer to the
argument of the gold ring against silver
as currency. If their position was cor
rect, silver dollars would have been
shipped instead of gold, for it could have
been used to profit for these purposes.
Instead, however, we see quantities OF
pure gold streaming to our country, and
that, too, from the only great CONNER
cial power which does not recognize sill
YER as q medium of exchange. This is a
practical demonstration that the remon-
etization of silver will not iDjuriously
affect our country, but will, on the con-
trary, improve its industries and reVivlfy
its commercial activity. 1t is time for
the gold men to be retired from the
financial control of our government.

he war he settled in New Orleans and

the war he settled in New Orleans and
was married there ten years ago. He
now leaves eleven children, his wife hav-
ing presented him with twins FIVE times,
the two youngest of whom are now about
three weeks old. Gen. Hood has recent
ly met with severe financial reverses,
which were troubling him very much,
and to which in part his inability to
stand the attack of fever is attributed.
He had recently completed history of
the war, which he was to have gone to
New York at this time to arrange for
publishing. Gen. Hood expected up to
the last to recover, and in conversation
with his physician a short time before
his death, in commenting on some favor
able symptom said: eve may yet dis
lodge the enemy" But, alas! this foe
was too strong for the battle-scarrcd hero,
and he has passed on to join his COM
rades beyond the grave. Thus another
of the brave men who fought for what
they believed to be their country's rights
has been gathered home, leaving a fame
which defeat cannot dim and q record
which death will not efface.

General Jobn r Hood. of the Confe

General John B. Hood, of the Confed-
crate army, died of yellow fever in New
Orleans at o'clock on last Sunday
morning, after an illness of about ten
days, during the first part of which his
wife also died of the same terrible epi-
demic, and of which several of his chill
dren are now very i'll. Gen. Hood was q
Kentuckian by birth, West Pointer
by education, and q great and brave man
by nature. He was severely wounded by
the Indians in a campaign before the
war, and on several occasions during the
late war he received additional wounds.
He was not only military man, but was
fighting General, who won distin-
guished laurels in several campaigns,
which forced him into the succession of
Gen. Joe. Johnston in command of the
forces around Atlanta. His flank move
ment upon Sherman at that point was
brilliantly conceived, and only failed of
success because his command was too
hopelessly weak to cope with SO many
commands of thousands Of troops. He
was greatly beloved by his soldiers, who
felt that he would not call on them to 60
where he was afraid to 60 himself. After

Charleston market only. Some Of the
best mills in Savannah, and probably all
of them, decline to receive rico for
pounding in lots of less than 500 bushels.
The following statement will show the
difference between the prices OF rice sold
in the rough and after it has been clean
cd. Last winter ] sent two samples, one
inferior and the other good, to Savannah.
For the first was offered Sl.40. Deduct

sack, commissions, &c, the poorer grade
would have netted me Sc cents and the
better $l.25. ISent this rice to Charleston

which was II cents per bushcl sack, the
sacks being returned, and all other cX-
ponscs, it Noted Sl.2S and Sl.5l rcSpec-
lively.
SEED RICE AND RICE FLOUR.
Some times up.country rice may be sold
to advantage for seed. If you have an
article of pure white rice, well ripehed,
it may be well to offer it in this way.
When sold it brings 81 per bushel.
After milling there is always resi-
dunn of rico flour. This is excellent food
for milch cows and when mixed with
corn or oats, horses for and mules. Last
winter it sold in Charleston for twenty
three cents por bushcl. Where the
quantity milled is sufficient to make it a
matter of any consequence it will be
best to have the flour returned.
I SEQ no reason why rice culture should
not become an important industry in the
up-country. II is less expensive to cul-
tlvatc than cotton, grows we'll in our
rich moist soils, and the yield is general
ly excellent and sometimes marvellous.
The wholesale price is nearly treble that
Of anto- -bellum days, and there is little
danger of over production. The culture
has been confined to q small territory
about Wilmington, North Carolina, four
counties in South Carolina, and as many
more in Georgia and narrow district in
Louisiana. Wheat and rice arc tho only
grains used exclusively as the food OF
man; but taking the whole population of
the United States, the production Of
wheat exceeds 500 quarts per capita,
while Of rice it barely reaches one. Could
our Yankee and Western friends cat it
like a Carolinian they might consume
tho entire crop in less than week, and
the price would rise in proportion as
they ate. Perhaps, should it fall too low,
VIC may send missionaries to teach our
neighbors better taste and more whole
somo diet.-Ncirs and Courier

M. Lacerdo has given much atten-
ton to tho character and effect OF the
venom of the rattlesnake. The poison
seems to be Of the nature of ferment.
The red corpuscles of tho blood of ami
mails bitten by snake begin to display
small brilliant points on the surface,
which increase rapidly in number, and
then the globules unite with each other,
forming q paste which cannot circulate
through the veins. Affected blood, II in
troduced into the circulation Of other an
imals, will produce the same symptoms
and fatal termination as original virus.
The author believes that tho best anti
dote for sake-poisoning is alcohol, which
may be given to the patient to drink or
may be administered simultaneously.
The latest news from General Grant
found him enjoying the mountains and
baths of Japan. He was expected to sail
for home the last of the present month.

A TERRIBLE ESPLosIoN.-On Satur-
day afternoon last ono of tho large cylin-
der boilers used at Mr.. VIM. M. Knights
saw mill, about n mile and half from
the town of Summerville, exploded, kill
ing the colored fireman and tearing to
pieces the roof of tho building in which
it was situated. Mr.. Knight had just
tried one of the water cocks and finding
the boiler empty, turned round to tell
one of the hands to remove the fire,
when, with o tremendous report, the
boiler was rent in twain, and one-half
was projected through the roof of the
building and hurled u distance of seven
ty-fve yards. In its flight the head of
the fireman was completely severed from
his body, and Mr.. Knight miraculously
escaped without injury. Ono Of the col
orcd hands was badly scalded, but be-
yond these casualties no others are re-
ported. The damage to the mill was ex-
tensive, and Mr. Knight was i'll this city
yesterday and purchased GO-horse
power return tubular boiler to supply
the place of the one destroyed. The &C.
cident is attributed to the carelessness of
the engincer.-Nc,rs and Courier.
