escape on foot, but Raulerson and Har-
vey overlook him as he was trying TO
get the ferryman TO put him across the
Satillo river at Strickland's ferry. and
covering him with their rifles, forced him

FEELING BETTER.

1t is source Of great qualification
to everybody that better feeling Is
beginning to permeate the minds OF
the people generally. As the season
comes on for harvesting the crop the
people naturally feel more hopeful
because they see prospects not TAI
labor and especially is this the case
with the labOrer This condition OF
affairs applies more to agricultural
sections than any other but because
OF the fact that agriculture more OF
less controls everything else, the same
effect is felt in other sections. Many
think now that cotton will be worth
10 cents by November, certainly much
more than it was thought a few weeks
ago.
As we wrote almost q week before
the publication Of the present issue OF
THE DEMOCRAT, we can not forecast
what effect the actions Of Congress will
have upon the country for the next
few DAYS; but II is safe to believe that
ina4fnuch as confidence has already
been restored to some degree, the feel
ing will be greatly intensified during
the next few days, and the clouds OF
depression will be lifted from the pros
poets Of the people.
THE DEMOCRAT has all the time be-
Iieved that s'the powers that be- would
see some way out Of the present crisis,
and we said as much when Mr., Cleve-
land called Congress together on It'll
of August, To be sure it has seemed
rather slow in getting at it, and we
are now inclined to think that some
delay has been caused Of desire on
tie part OF some Of the Senators and
Congressman to prove to the country
that American OratGry is neither dead
nor waning but they will blow off in
time for those who spoke from a full
heart and those who have not spoken
at All to divise means by which the
country will be saved, We believe that
Congress will yet do the right thing
and we believe that the most Of our
people think 50 although we think
some wish Congress would do the
wrong thing 50 that there might be
room for open criticism in which some
people seem to delight in rivelling,
right or wrong.
But the good feeling already pre-
yailing viii doubtless spread and the
country will soon be humming with
business and thrObbing with new life
again.

ONLY STARTED.
Heading Towards the SHOW.
(Edioriol Correspondence.)

BALTIMORE. Mp. Sept. >, 1873.
1t is quite an interesting matter TO a
country editor to be starting Tor the
Worlds Fair. While there are some
objections to taking the trip just now,
7 concluded to start. as it would be too
long to wait for similar occasion III
the future. Friday morning, Sept Sth,
found me taking the cars on the Nor
folk 4, Carolina railroad, in company
with Mr.. F. 2. Shields and Miss Leila
Shields, as the first stage Of the trip to
Chicago. Arriving at Norfolk in due
time we all spent the day there waiting
for a steamer to Baltimore. At 6 ID,
D. m. the steamer Virginia. pulled from
shore and we started on that beautiful
and delightful ride over the Chesapeake
Bay We arrived III more this
morning, 9th, at o'clock, with no cas-
ualty except very great uneaslness on
the part Of Mr.. Shields for an hour or
50 last night, fearing he may have a
dollar for his supper only for the sad
modification that it did not last him
long. However, by easing himself into
somewhat an uncertain and circuitous
route from the deck, he managed to
"retain herself" sufficiently to ''snooze"
= little before sunrise this morning.
Conversation on deck becomes unlnter-
esting to a lady after dark, and | sup
pose her first care after seeking her
state room is to clay me down -get
quiet also There was no stOrm-Only
the water a little rOugh-and the route
was really delightful one.
Mr.. n. B. JOsey met us here and we
have all spent the day together at the
Eutaw House waiting to take the D
o'clock train this afternoon over the 3.
& O. for Chicago They tell us that
our route which lies by Cumberland,
Grafton, Wheeling and Bellaire, is
quite picturesque and that it is some
what rough and jostiing. We shall
reach Chicago tomorrow Sunday
night at 8 o'clock. Excuse us for trav-
ling on Sunday, for it is the best we
can do now Later on | nope to have
seen the fair and to make some Obser-
vations in these columns.
Baltimore is a great and busy city
although it takes its place several
nitches down the list in American
cities. There have been many new
and imposing buildings erected since
we were here just ten years ago. The
season is getting pretty we'll on for
merchants to come here to purchase
goods, and quite large number have
come, and the drummer boys" are
waiting for the balance.

THE crevasses in the Mississippi
are not closed, but the waters are
receding and the Overstrained
planters can take a little rest. The
sum total of the losses incurred
has been enormous, and it is a
question how long they can be en-
count tered from year to year. 1t
does seem that the levee system
cannot be depended upon to pre-
serve the lower plantations from
overflow and partial destruction
whenever there is a very high
stage of water, and if there is not
some remedy sooner or later these
valuable plantations will have to
be abandoned. This problem faces
the National congress and the sew
eral state legislatures in the lower
valley states, and some solution of
it should be attempted in a truly
scientific spirit. If the destruc-
ton is not stayed and cannot be it
is only right that the settlers in
the valley should know it and pre-
| pare for the worst.
