GIVE HEED.-There is not the slightest
probability that for several years to come
the reconstruction policy of Congress can be
in the least changed. There is not the least
probability that there will he a Congress ia
vorable to any change for many years.
What an idle folly it is, for the rebels of the
South and the Copperheads of the North,
to expect any such thing or to ebstruct the
restoration of the Union? Surely-and now
quickly-the work of reconstruction will go

WOMEN Born TO Do THE LovINa.-That
nature has ordained love as woman's task,
more than mans, is thus declared by late
moralist: With man, love is never pas
sion of such intensity as with woman. She
is creature of sensibility, existing only in
the outpourings and sympathies of her emo
tions. Every earthly blessing, nay, every
heavenly hope, viii be sacrificed with her
affections She will leave the sunny home
of her childhood, the protecting roof of her
kindred-forget the counsels of her sire,
the admonishing voice of that mother on
whose bosom her head had been pillowed-
do all that woman can do consistently
with honor-forsake all that she has clung
to in her girlish simplicity for years and
throw herself into the arms Of man she
idolizes. He that would forsake woman
after these testimonies of affection. is too
gross q villain to be called man.

THE MORALITY OF THE PRIZE RING.


Some OF the journals, which pu uolished full

torial comments on 'sthe brutal and disgusting

publishes an account of crine. which is mat
ter Of interest, and excitement in the eommu-
nifty, it, Of course, does not follow that the

COUNTY PoL1TIcs.-The political cauldron is
boiling quite furiously, and appearances indicate
the possibility of its running entirely over A
county canvass is always the occasion of more
or less jarring and strife in every party This
year may develop more than ordinary discord-
ance in the Union ranks-a condition of things
which the Democracy anxiously hoping and
laboring for. The leaders of that party have
been untirng in their efforts TO create dissenson
in the Union ranks since the commencement of
the canvass which will be brought to a close by
the Convention to be held to-day. Men of the
opposition party who are candid enough to
knowledge that Bidwell will make the best Gov
ernor for the interests of the whole State of any
candidate mentioned, have labored hard to di-
vide the sentiment of the Union party, which is
known to be almost unit in favor of that can
didate. Therein lies their only hope of again
getting pull at the county official teat, and no
can blame them for doing So 1t may be
that there are men in the Union party who hope
to reach county and district positions by truck
ling to the desires of enemies of the Union Or
ganization in the present issue. If there are
word of caution may be appropriate now. We
had rather see an open enemy elevated to posi-
ton than a Union man who betrays his party in
this manner, and we know there is considera-
ble element IN the party entertaining the same
feeling. An open enemy is always preferable to
an untrustworthv friend, who to accomplish his
ends will not scruple to betray the organization
to which he prelends to belong, and to which he
should alone look for preferment. Some palpa-
BILE instances of this nature arc already noticea-
BILE in the county. This course will certainly
lead to disruption of the Union party if per-
sisted in.


There is of course a host of candidates for
county and district positions, some of which make
public their claims through the medium of the
Journal. One only for each place can be cho-
sen. This fact candidates should keep in mind
throughout the canvass. No honest man will
90 into it on the rule or ruin principle. A hard
fight is before us, and unaninity of action is re-
quired to defeat the schemes of the enemy
Democratic candidates for some positions are al
ready mentioned, but they only hope for success
through disaffection in the Union ranks To
avoid this we hope will be the constant aim of
those who ask for position at the hands of the
party, whether successful in their aspirations
or not.

The UNION PRIMARIEs.-So far as we can learn
primary meetings Of the Union party were held
in all precincts in the county except Coffee
Geek, Eastman's, Rush Creek and Martinvile.
II so, the Convention will be composed of thirty
nine delegates. As q general thing the vote
poled test of the strength of the Union
party in the county. In Weavervile precinct
one hundred and fifty votes were poled. That
some of them were illegal there is doubt :;
that men voted after being challenged who were
not entitled to,under the terms of the call of the
Union Central Committee, we are certain. Union
men who feel welfare in the success oe the
party learned lesson last Saturday night which
will be profted by in the approaching primary
meetings. They know that unscrupulous dema-
gogues solicited and obtained the votes of men
who never voted Union ticket, or if they did,
were not entitled to. We DO not consider it
hazardous to assert that twenty votes were poll
ed at the primary meeting in this precinct which
will not be thrown for the Uaon ticket in Sep

would encourage the hope that it will be fin

"This is very important road for the
welfare of this city, and our people feel deep

expression Of their approval through the bal

proposition in stronger language than is war
ranted By the facts of the case, beg to call
your attention to the following extract of an
article which emanated from Massachusetts,.
Bearing the imprimatur of Boston, its Ian
guage, which, had it been uttered here, might
have smacked ut treason, can be regarded
only as loyal:


"The principle" gays this writer, Son
which the war was waged by the Aorth, was
simply this: That men may rightly be com
PEELED to submit to and support government
that they do not want; aud that resistance
on their part makes them traitors and crimi-
nails. No principle that i'd possible to be
named can be more self-evdcntly false than
this, or more selfevidently fatal to all politi-
cal freedom. Yet it triumphed in the field,
and it is now assumed to be established. If
it be really established, the number Of slaves,
instead Of having been diminished by the
war, has been greatly increased; for man
thus subjected to government that he does
not want, is slave and there is no differ
ence in principle, but only in degree, between
political and cbattel slavery. The former, no
less than the latter, denies mans ownership
of himself and the products of his labour.
and asserts that other men may own him aid
dispose of him and his property for their uses
and at their pleasure. Previous to the war,
there were some grounds for saying that in
theory, at least, if not in practice, our gov
eminent was q free onc-that it rested on
consent. But nothing of that kind can be
said now, if tue principle on which the war
was carried on by the North is irrevocably
established"

It begins to be apparent that
the quantity Of cane growing this
year, particularly in Ohio, Indi-
ana and Illinois, is considerably
less than was grown last year or
the year before. Various causes
have combined to produce this
falling off. Last year was unfa-
vorable for sorghum in many re-
spects. The season was wet, and
the saccharine matter Of the cane
was very imperfectly developed.
The quantity was large, and the
quality was poor, which combined
to depress prices, and operators
were obliged to sell their surplus
for less than they expected to re-
alize. At the same time, wheat,
corn and other farm crops were
commanding ngunusually high prices,
which, Of course, made sorghum
appear to a disadvantage. In the
next place, the seed Of last years
cane was imperfectly matured,
and much that was planted this
spring failed to come up. Again,
the spring was wet, cold and back
ward, which deferred many from
planting. Some had conceived
the idea that Louisiana had be-
come reconstructed State, and
would, this year, furnish molasses
at, perhaps, twenty-five cents per
gallon.


1t is now too late to correct
mistakes; but there is little doubt
that those who neglected to plant
sorghum because they thought it
would not pay as we'll as corn and
other spring-planted crops, have
made a mistake. Corn and pota-
toes will not be worth a dollar a
bushel this fall, and those who
have sorghum to sell will not be
obliged to hunt for purchasers at
thirty or forty cents a gallon:
The market will not be glutted
with New Orleans molasses this
year, nor for several years to come,
and tropical molasses never will
displace sorghum in the country
where the latter can be produced
with the little labor and trouble
it requires.


Those who have cane this year
will do we'll to attend to it care
fully. We do not know what
price it will command, but we pre-
dict that a gallon Of good sorghum
will pay for a bushel of corn, and
that two gallons will pay for a
bushel Of wheat.-Sorgo Journal.

AS the subject Of pavements is
now interesting to many Of our
citizens, the following from the
New York Evening Post may
prove interesting:


"Many people stop in the City
Hall Park to watch the work 60
ing on Of preparing to lay a con-
crete walk across the PaSk from
Park Row, near the head Of Beck
man street, to Broadway. The
walk laid a year ago from the
same point toward the head Of
Murray street, which is as hard
as stone and impervious to water,
has given so much satisfaction
that the corporation made the con-
tract for another walk. The first
is coarse gravel. This is followed
with a layer Of coarse gravel and
sharp sand, mixed thorough with
pine tar. It's durability is said to
equal that of stone ; it is always
level and smooth, never cracks,
and is not affected by change of
temperature, or by frost, or washed
away by heavy rains. We under
stand this concrete has recently
been laid in Brooklyn, for private
walks and carriage ways, to the
amount of five thousand dollars,
and give the highest satisfaction,
and a contract has just been made
to lay it through the entire track
of a horse railroad in that city.
In Syracus thirty miles of sidewalk
are laid with it. It costs about
fifteen cents a square foot, about
half the price Of our ordinary flag
ging in New York. But it shows
for itself, after wear Of a year,
in the Park, and is just as smooth
and perfect now as when first put
down"
