HERMAN Is still on a bender. The
cowhiding that Col. Harper gave him
in Vicksburg cannot he atoned for IN
a week or a month. That outrage
made Herman nIad-awful mad-and
he is bound to have his revenge IL 1t
takes all the winter, as well as all the
summer. Herman has a magazine Of
wrath against the South and Southern
newspapers. He is full Of lava, pitch
and tar. Southern men won't sub
scribe for his paper, and Southern cdr
tors give the cold shoulder to him. In
such a condition what can he do but
rant and rave. Who wouldn't rant
and rave IL they were in Kernan's fix I?
Besides 1t is a free country, and COM
petition is oDen i'm all the walks Of life.
A man has a right to edit his own
newspaper, and to make himself, If he
can. the most immense ass, and the
most superb fool ever yet paraded on
this earth CT any other country.

THE PROSPEROUS SOUTH.

The Vicksburg Commercial, in re
viewing the statistics of the new cen
sns, thus puts in II few gallant thought;
in defence of onr misrepresented and
misunderstood section
The recent census is full of new sur.
prises to the people of the North and
West, and surprises to the people OF
the South.
assertion that the Southern States
were all on the road to the devil that
our people were ignorant, indolent
and devlish ; that the whole country
was in IL state of ignorance, lethargy,
aud decay that the negroes were OPP
pressed more than in the worst days Of
slavery that the Santh was IA gol,
gctha that the bones of murdered
negroes were bleaching in every valley
and upon every hillside F; and that
moral, menta! aud physical decrepi-
tude prevailed as II rule in every South
ern State, peope began to believe it,
We have been told many Thousand
times that the negroes were compelled
to fly for their lives, and seek safety
and refuge in Kansas, Indiana, aud
other Western States, and that the
mi!dew of blight aud dcsolation was
resting upon rs rs the curse OF God
for our manifold sins, wickedncss and
brutalities to the poor negro, and his
partners in sorrow. suffering, and trib
ulation, the white Republicans
1t is as much cause of graduation
for the people of the South, MS it is of
chnSrin to some of our gentle iricI.ds
in the North, 10 see that these dolriul,
Cassandra like prophecies OF evil, 50
fondly indnlged in 10y some who love
us not, have all been rudely dispelled
by the hard, cold ii ,ures ul the census
tables and that this section, upon
whh'h the curse of an outraged God
was said to he lying so heavily this
section where murder, robbery, and
were said TO have their
favorite haunts--has, despite their re-
peated calumnies, continued to AL vance
