Why the oonfederacy Failed

Frem A. II. Stephens speech.
l have heard intimation, seen it
in newspapers, that there was con
troversy between Mr.. Davis and
myself which INSTRUCTED the sue
cess Of the confederate government
and ended in the failure of the con
federate cause. l know there is a
general misapprehension in the pub
lie mind about that relation between
Mr.. Davis and myself. l affirm
here tonight that there never was
an unkind word or controversy be
tween Mr. Davis and myself from
the beginning down. We did disa-
gree upon some questions of poll
cy, but when pledged myself to
the peopleof Georgia in that seces-
sion convention, in a speech you
may have read and can now read,
that my fortune in veal or in woe
should go for my state, that pledge
has ever and on all occasions been
redeemed. But mark you, whenev-
er 1 disagreed with the administra
ton of Mr.. Davis L went directly to
him; never intended to be a schis-
matist; 1 submitted my views. ]
saw, or thought 1 saw, (excuse what
may seem to be vanity or egotism }
1 thought 1 saw great danger from
the superior shipping and naval
power north, that our ports might
he blockaded. My idea was to get
the 40, 900 bales of cotton we then
had out and abroad before the
blockade commenced, by giving the
planters nine cents per pound in s
per cent bonds, that would have
amounted in all to about 5000, 900
600. BY shipping it abroad We
should have, holding it therein Eu
rope at 80 cents per pound, a CAPT
tai of at least $500, 100000.
All this you viii see in my
speeches. Did that look as if there
was any infidelity or disloyalty tc
the confederate cause? The policy
was not adopted. believe it was
afterward admitted. DIR. Craven
Mr.. Davis physician, stated that
he admitted to him in Fortress Mon
roe that if that policy had beer
adopted the financial trouble:
would never have occurred, anc
there might have been a change IL
our cause.

Some inquiring mind has taken
pains TO discover that in the Old
Testament the word Jehovah is re
peated 6,307 times. In the New
Testament the word Jesus is repeat
ed 929 times, the word Christ $50
times, and the word Lord, relating
to both the Father and the Son, 100
times.

A drunken man once found his
uay into q Methodist church where
revival meetings were being held.
In exhorting the people to seek
salvation the minister said: Now,
who will stand up for Jesusr' No
one moved. The invitation was no re
peated again. Still it met with re
Spouse. At length, the drunkard
struggling to his feet, shouted; Il
will; rlt stand up for Him or any
other fellow who has no more friends
here than He has"

A Great Revolution in T.lsrravhv.

If the following statement by the
Boston Herald be true, the facts are
of the greatest importance. The
Herald says.
1t has remained, however, for
Albert L. Parcelle, skilled me-
chanic and talented inventor, to
produce mechanism by which the
barriers to rapid and cheap tclegrapy
are swept down, and which, by
simple applications of known princi-
pies, promises to entirely revolu-
tionize the telegraphy of the world.
His system is called Harmonic
Automatic Telegraphy," and differs
from that in use by the Rapid Tele-
graph Company in two important
points. The first is an improved
and abbreviated construction of the
alphabet, In which position is used,
to the great saving of characters,
and consequent saving of time in
in preparing the copy for the per-
forator. The second is the employ
ment of a system of sympathetic
resonance, by which, with the use
of a single wire and unskilled oper-
atives, the same amount of work
which is now done by ten wires and
skilled labor is accomplished. Thus,
for the first time in the history of
telegraphy, the Morse alphabet and
system are done away with, as are
also the translating and transcrib-
ing by receivers. Instead Of requir-
ing the ordinary handling and delay,
the message, be it long or short, is
rapidly prepared in a perforating
machine, fed into the transmitter,
and is instantly reproduced in clear
Roman letters ON sheets of paper
ready to be sent by messenger to
the party addressed. The actual
number of words sent, on and aver
age, by the American Rapid is 600
or 700 per minute, while the lowest
computations, made from results oh
tanned from an instrument only
partially completed, show a speep
by the new method of 5000 words
per minute. A great advantage,
too, is that being sent over single
wire, the matter comes consecutive
ly, and is, therefore, free from liza
bility to error, as is often the case
where several wires are used for the
sending of single dispatch, For
press word the method will prove Of
inestimable value, as by the use of
this device a speech of 1000 words,
occupying about one column of the
Herald, can be perforated, sent over
the wire, and given to a messenger
at the other end Of the line for de
livery, and all ready for the type
settlers, in three and one-half min
utes. OF course, in order to attain
this speed, the copy is originally
cut up into takes" and distributed
to several boys or girls, who trans
cribe the matter by means Of the
perforating machines, after which
the several pieces are pasted TO
rether in one continuous strip
runs through the instrument at
great speed; and it will thus be seen
that the celebrity with which a dis
patch is transmitted depends prin-
oipally upon the number of perfor--
ators employed. 1t will thus be
that, from beginning to
end, the system demands only un-
skilled labor, by reason of the high
degree of automatic perfection at
,ained, and herein lies the great
secret of cheapness. The speed is
another valuable consideration; and
when both the elements are com
bined the result seems to be, indeed,
The long sough desideratum.

There was never probably as
many stump speakers let loose in
Tennessee at once. The reports
from all quarters indicate that Bate
will get the largest democratic vote
ever polled. The red-hot papers
and speakers have succeeded in
abusing some of the Boilers out Of
the party, but in many places they
are coming back. Every one knows
now that Russell has not the re
hottest chance of election and that
a vote for him strengthens Hawk
ms chances. They are coming
back. They ought to come back,
but we cannot abuse them into IL.
They are democrats and when they
see the party in danger they ought
TO come to its rescue. There are
weightier matters for democracy TO
deal with and we ought not TO
cripple the party in its struggle for
the people and good government.

We certainly appreciate the sug-
gestions and the kindly spirit
which dictated them, contained in
the letter from an old friend in Mid
die Tennessee, received a few days
ago. He may be right, we wrong ;
but we are a social being and abhor
solitude, and a RUSSELL man in this
patch of timber would be as lonely
and isolated as Alexander Selkirk
on the island Of Junan Fernandez.

There is likely to be a new factor
in the game of war in the east that
no general can estimate. For two
or three weeks the reports have
been abroad of the spreading of the
Asiastic cholera. There are vari-
Gus theories extant as to the true
cause of Asiatic cholera, one Of
which is exceedingly horrible.
This particular form of the disease
always originates in Hindoostan,
and it is said the place of its origin
is in the delta of the Gauges, down
whose holy waters the faithful sur
vivors have for ages hoated the
bodies of their expiring kindred in
the belief that this is the shortest
and surest road to the Hindoo para
adise. This arrangement has a
very uncomfortable side for other
races and people. The corpses
thus ioated down the "Ganges' no
ly tide" annually number many
hundred thousand, and those

Advertising That Paid,

Johnny Manning, the sheriff Of
Deadwood, D. T., was in st. Louis
on business, and he remembered
that the year before a st. Louis
man had been up to Deadwood and
left owing several hundred dollars,
which was to be paid as soon as he
got home. Manning met the man
in st. Louis, and he said he would
hand him the money next day, but
the days passed and the money did
not come, though the man was am
ply able to pay. So one morning
Manning inserted a personal in a
newspaper to the effect that if the
man who left Deadwood between
two days did not pay the money he
forgot to pay before night, the
whole circumstance would be pub
lished the next day. The notice
was signed, "John Manning, Sheriff
of Deadwood." Before nine o'clock
a young man called at Manning's
hotel and said he had come to pay
$22 he had borrowed, to get out of
Deadwood. Manning found out
who the money was borrowed from,
and took it to carry to the Dead
wood citizen, remarking that he
was not the man referred to, but it
was a mighty mean sheriff who
would not carry money to friend.
The next man to call was the one
he wanted, and he paid the money
and apologized, and begged the
sheriff to say nothing about it.
Duringthe day seven citizens of St.
Louis called on Manning and paid
him money for citizens of Dead
wood, believing the sheriff had ref
erence to them in his notice; and af.
ter he had gone away, another citi-
zen called and asked the clerk fol-
Naming, but the clerk said the other
fellows had all been there and paid
up and this man had better keep
his money. The sheriff said he al
ways thought advertising paid, but
he never had it demonstrated to his
satisfaction before.
