Reducing DrOpsical Pretensions.

= 1t will doubtless be conceded by
those who have placed the highest esti-
mates upon Garfield s character that
nothing could have been more unfort-
innate than to publish private letter,
written by Garfield at a time when he
was chief of General Rosecrans' staff to
g overnOrC hase, ofOhio. The publica-
ton of the letter in question was doubt
less owing to the fact that Blaine, in his
memorial eulogy, sought to confer upon
Garfield military renOwn based upon
nothing more substantial than fiction,
and to prop up this airy fabric Gar
fields letter is brought forward. I'm
fortunately for Garfield and his friends,
Rosecrans is still living to reply, and to
rescue his military reputation from such
sigmas as duplicity and falsehood
sought to fix upon it. Rosecrans, in his
reply, to the allegations made by Gar
field, exhibits an Indignation which all
true menswill indorse. He charges Gar
field with falsehood and exaggeration,
with treachery and ingratitude, for
which, if the Commanding General
had had information, Garfield would
have been promptly court martialed
and dismissed in disgrace. The af-
fair, in the light of truth. surrounds the
character of Garfield with anything but
a halo of glory, and thoughtful men will
not fail to analyze the facts. This done,
and twill be seen that General Rose
Grams had for his Chief-of-Staff a man
who, while processing friendship, was
nothing better than a stealthy enemy.
Having ingratiated himself fully into the
Commanding Generals confidence this
Chief-o staff used his position and OPP
portunities to assassinate reputation
gained amidst the fire and smoke OF
sbattles-an exhibition of deceit, of mean
mendacity without a parallel. Gen
eral Rosecrans says of Garfeld's state
ments, that they are ga mixture of
suntruths and Misrepresentation" and
do discredit to the memory of dead
man, and adds: s.I had no idea at the
time that 1 was harboring a person
capable of such falseness and double
dealing or there would have been a
for such an exhibition of General Gar
fields character as this, and l am sorry
that the letter ever saw the light. But
it should never have been written, for,
as have said, it is a compound of I'M
truths and exaggerations." Fortunate
" for General Rosecrans he is now in a
position to set himself right, and to
characterize :. untruths and exaggera-
tons - as they deserve. 1t is thus that
the mills of the gods reduce dropsical
pretensions, mendaciors fame and all
that goes to make hypocrisy successful,
to dimensions of infinite contempt and

A dispatch from Brookhaven, of the
9TH inst, gives the following particulars
OF the burning Of the Jail in that place
The county jail at this place was dis
covered in flames tonight at 8 o'clock.
1t was entirely consumed, and with it
three negro prisoners. The fire oHgina-
ted i'm the cell in which they were con-
fin edB and there is no doubt but they set
1t Oh fire in the hope of making their
escape. The rain was pouring in tor
rents when the fire was discovered, and
it had made rapid headway before as
sistance could be rendered. An attempt
was made to burst the door open, but
the flames were SO hot it could not be
done. The names of the prisoners and
the osenses for which they were con-
fined are as follows Mack Williams,
burglary; Isaam Smith, larceny Geo.
Allen, larceny. They begged piteously
to be released, but it was impossible, and
they perished in the flames, the victims
of their own folly.

sLANDER.

Perhaps every community, however
small, or insignificant, has its quota oi
crooked-tongued individuals, who like
the vulture, prey upon the character Of
those who they have helped to destroy
The whisperings of these birds Of prey
are charged with the venom of hell and
garnished with the spirit Of demons
Wherever one of their shafts strike much
suffering, and too often ruin is theresult
Actuated by the promptings of cold
and remorseless heart they handle the
fair name of pure and virtuous girl
with sinful, hell-deserving recklessness,
and rob her Of that which they can new
er return, as carelessly and dthoughtlessly
as they would perform the most usual
and unimportant acts Of life. No one,
however high or low, escapes the strict
ures and criticisms OF the murderer Of
human character. OF all the demons
that make hell hideous with their horrid
blasphemy and profanity, the voice Of the
slanderer will be the most readily recog-
nized above the pandemonium, and ev-
en- there and then his schemes and wiles
will corrupt the morals and blast the
character OF the denizens of Hades.
If it were possible, and we had the
power, we would construct a gallows
with halters and trap doors for every
slanderer, and in the twinkling of an eye
would launch them into eternity; but
with a charitable feeling for the popula-
tion Of the regions of the damned, we
would bar even the doors Of hell against
them: And when we say, that we would
shield Hades from this Immigration of
slanderers, we have no selfish motive in
improving the society of that country

The Value of Local Papers.

Every honest rejecting mind knows
that the local newspaper adds much to
the general wealth and prosperity Of the
place, as well as increases the reputation
of the town abroad It benefits all who
have business in the place, enhances the
value of property, besides being q public
convenience even if not conducted in the
interests of the ruling political power.
It's columns are not filed with brilliant
editorials, still it benefits you in every
way. 1t increases trade, it cautions
against imposition, it saves you from loss,
it warns you of danger, it points out diff
ferent advantages and increases your
profits. Now, if you want such paper
you must support it by advertising your
business in it; assist in increasing its cir
culation by getting your neighbors to
subscribe with you for it. If you want
such paper, you must not consider it
an act of charity to support, but as a
means to increase your own wealth as
well as that of the place in which you
live; therefore, support it by adver.
tising and subscribing and paying for it
