"Woe is me, my mother, thou hast
borne me a man of strife! Firstly,
"Quilp" is disgruntled because his lit
tie game has been blocked. He very
truthfully says much good of the Bap-
tist brethren of Mount Pleasant, but
they cannot with any truth return the
compliments.
Secondly, the correspondent of the
REGISTER at Pilot Knob is "hornswog-
gIed" for fear that Il. c. will not keep
his place, and fears catachysm unless
the clergy are let alone.
Southeast Missouri has never yet un-
derstood T. c., and will now. He
came tc the Church according to its
rules, and the Church returned him to
the world, and i'll so doing gave the
outsiders king who is thoroughly u.s.
ed in all the strategy and tactics of &C.
clesiastical warfare and the Word OF
God. In regard to the address of Rev.
Hainesworth, L. G. holds that when a
man stands up as the ambassador OF
the God of all wisdom and knowledge,
which the Rev. gentleman in that case
at least does not. The correspondent
at Pilot Knob should know that when
an article is published in newspaper
it is a legitimate subject of investiga-
ton by any one to whom that paper
comes,
T. C. has enriched himself by buying
Carpenter on Mental Physiology" 1t
is masterpiece, being written from a
high and clear Christian standpoint.
There have been some prosecutions
for speculating in pork. Hog stealing
has long been considered legitimate
industry by some people in this region,
but recently some progressives took a
step forward and stole meat already
cured. This being an innovation on the
customs of the country, Esq. Rowland
Williams, of Dent county, required sew
eral denizens of this section to rise and
explain how large quantity of bacon
stolen from Mr.. Caleb Morris came to
certain locations, and how their backs
became SO greasy. The explanation
was not satisfactory to the court, and
the parties got the hot end of the law.
We learn from the REGISTER that
Rev. Wright is about to be transferred
to Pilot Knob. We await develop
ments, and will not interfere by word
or deed.
r. G. did not believe that Judge En-
erson was guilty in manner and form
as irdicated, until he read.his defense.
His plea is bad. Il. G. is acquainted
with only one young lady in the neigh
borhood of Caledonia, and if even a
small percentage of the rest, are as tru-
ly refined, noble and grandly and
sweetly pretty as she is, Judge Emer-
son was wise in not attempting to de-
scribe them. He could not have done
them Justice. Now let him come up
like little man, acknowledge the fact,
and put himself on the mercy of the
court, and he will receive safe de-
liverance.
Some families from Illinois have
come in here recently, and the indica-
tions are that some more will follow.
That is the way i'll which to build up
a country.
Com'r Miller has done good work
in the way of instructing i'll school
All that is needed is that the
people shall understand the school sys-
tenn, and they will give it fair sup
port.
The chronic row has opened between
the two factions into which the Repub-
lican party IN Missouri has split. To
talk OF uniting them is nonsensical.
see the names of two old friends, b. F.
Heiny, of the Kirksuitle Journal, and
Robert Ross, of Cape Girardeau, on the
Van Horn State Committee. During
the coming campaign the Republican
party in Missouri will hardly amount
to cipher.
No one can forecast who will be the
on either side, or what will
be the platform. The true key to the
untying of the Gordian knot is the pay
ment of our National Debt, which the
will delay as long as pos
sible, under one pretext or another.
The National Conventions on both
sides Will be lively gatherings.
The last number of the REGISTER
came to hand in due time, and was one
of the best out.
AS spring opens up, sickness seems
to increase out here. After having had
the disease himself, and seen it in 9TH
ers, the writer decides that it is not
but an aggravated form of
the difficulty which in 1S43 swept over
the Eastern States. Whilst it has
most of the features of pneumonia,
there is added very decidedly strong
