God Is With Us. If the North is Not.
The all-absorbing topic of the day
is the restoration of prosperity to
the South. 1t is felt and talked
about in every household. 1t has
imbued capital with confidence, and
inspired labor with hope. 1t rides
supremacy above every question in
politics. This newborn vitality that
is now permeating all branches of
business, simply demonstrates the
energy and pluck of the Southern
people. 1t is not the work of any
political party. Politicians have
had naught to do with the industry
of the farmer, the enterprise of the
merchant, nor the ceaseless toll of
the mechanic. God alone has stood
on the side of these. Despite the
chickering's of partisans, Gods sun
shine, His rain, and His invigorat-
ing air, have touched as with the
beneficence of inspiration the re-
sources of industrial thrift, and they
have yielded the fruits of renewed
prosperity. God is with us if the
North is not. Our manufactures
and workshops were never buster
than now, and the counters of the
merchants were never more thrOng-
ed. Capital and labor were never
drawn together by opportunities of
greater mutual advantage. In fact,
/ better times have come, and peace
and happiness Feigns throughout
our own sunny Southern land

Washington Special 10 the Baltimore Sun.
Senator Blaine seems to have
much to say in regard to the polite
al situation In Maine. Mr.. Blaine
is very indignant because the Gov
ernor and Council in his State are
understood to contemplate the in
vestigation of the charges of fraud
and bribery in connection with the
recent election. He characterizes
this purpose as a burglarious attempt
to seize the Government, and says
with great positiveness that the Re
publicans will not submit TO it, Mr..
Blaine complains very bitterly be-
cause the public are not allowed ac-
cess to the returns. Mr.. Blaine does
not explain what course the Re-
publicans expect to pursue should
the Governor and Council throw out
the Republicans declared elected
members of the Legislature who are
not lawfully entitled to certificates.
Mr.. Blaine and his friends are terri
bly, excited at the idea Ofa returning
board in Maine, although they think
a returning board is exactly the
thing in Louisiana.

ARKANSAS ITEMS.

My acquaintance with Arkansas
began in 1853. I fell In love with
the Crowley's Ridge country at first
sight, and my Judgment still is that
it is the best "compromise country, "
as Col. Mills was wont to call it,
that / ever saw. On the western
slope Of this ridge purchased my
first home from Jonas Srum, en-
bracing in the trade geese, ducks,
chickens, bee-gums, dog-irons, wash
kettle, tar-bucket, and a multitude
of other things in the same line. He
was building d brick chimney when
made the the trade with him, and
as it was great rarity in the re-
gion round about here he declared
that he would have charged me
$3.50 per acre more on the land if
his chimney had been finished.
Those were days of frolics OF the
liveliest kind. / have known an
old Virginia reel to call a halt until
a jug of whisky and a tin cup were
passed around, the ladies being
served first. With what energy the
reel then proceeded need not be
told. But / must not go back on
Arkansas.
Time has wrought many changes.
Most of my old acquaintance lived
too fast, and have passed away. The
course of ray life was changed by
the death of one of my children,
and have been trying for many
years to serve God with more fidel-
ity than I formerly serN ed the evil
one. In this (St. Francis) county I
was licensed to preach, and l now
write from the bounds of my first
pastoral charge. The grocery house
which 1 had once patronized was
converted into preaching place,
and in this house l preached my
first sermon. This climate always
agreed very well with me, but my
wife could not stand 1t, and so we
retraced our steps to Tennessee, my
native soil.
Upon the whole / regard this as
an average country as regards
health. AS to soil it is very product
| i've, and adapted to the growth q
everything pretty much that far
mer may wish to raise. Land il
very cheap, both for sale and rent
Cotton is the money crop, and i:
much surer than tobacco, indeed
have never known failure in thu
cotton crop in this county. Society
and Church and School privilege
are about as they are in MOntgom
cry county. The free school system
is about as worthless in Arkansa
as it is in Tennessee.
I Clergymen have their critics on
here as they have all the worlt
over. heard a denizen of thes
parts object to his pastor the othe
: day on the grounds that he Away
had the "Opossum grins" when h
met any one, and that style of cleo
pioneering was failure out here, s.
J far as the ministry is concerned
l The opossum grins, at least, do no
take well.
1 have greatly enjoyed eatini
fish and sqirrels since l have bee
here. In other days I was account
ed a successful fish eater, and l hav
not lost my taste for them yet. TIL

THE Memphis Appeal says, in
publishing Hon. John V. Wright's
reply to John Sherman's ISLANDERS:
"Few men are better known to the
people of Tennessee and the South
ern States generally than John V.
Wright and few enjoy high, r
place In their affections for c0urage
and dignity, and a manhood that
has never been sullied. Judge
Wright IS a brother, of Marcus J..
Wright, who, for many years, was
a citizen OF Memphis, and who, as a
soldier of the Confederate army, was
always in the line of his duty. The
statement of Gen. Wright will be
endorsed by all who know him.

Unprecedented Drought ia Vir-
gInia.

For the past five months there
has been no rain of any consequence
in Southern Virginia, and, as a re-
suit, wells which have never been
known to fail have been dried up,
and the streams have become so low
that not only are mills compelled to
cease operations, but farmers find it
a difficult task to find water in sutfi-
cient abundance for their stock and
cattle. In some of the counties
people are compelled to travel miles
in search of water, They go pro-
vided with buckets, barrels and
bottles, and wherever they find Il
stream of clear water they make Il
stOppage until they can fill their
vessels. The ground in places is so
hard that it is almost impossible for
farmers t. falIow their lands. The
drought appears to extend as far as
the eastern shore Of Maryland. For
several SHbbaths past prayers have
been offered in the churches for
rain.
