Under this heading the following
extract FROM II Washington letter ol
Col, John forsyth's is making Tia,
circuit of the Southern press;


"Tho readers of the Register

ing its liberties against the daring
purity that is openly assailing them,

have seen nothing to lay the ghosts
of my apprchenSions. l have not
met the first man who will admit
that the people will resist except
ut the ballot.boX) ut any, even the
EXTREMIST point of ususpation."


This statement no doubt is cor.
rect; but it hardly justifies the
heading which our Southern breth-
rcn have given to the extract A
more justiiiablc heading, we think,
would be: "CERTAINTY OF ANOTHER
WAR" For n people who let il be
understood that they will never re
sist nsurpation by force, thereby in
vitc intolerable usurpation, which,
when invited, never fails to come,
and, when it comes, they must either
sobmit to it or fight; and we all
know that the American people will
never submit to intolerablc usurpa
ton. What follows2 The certainty
of another war, without timcly y
manifestation Of greater spirit on
the part Of the people. Nothing
could be palmer.


If the people were even prepared
tamel y to submit to everything,
their present tameness would be
selt-destroying, because it serves to
bring on fresh oppression, inviting
the worst but, as they are not and
never will be prepared to submit to
everything, their present tameness
is doubly self-destroying, because it
serves to bring on bloodshed as well
as fresh oppression. Let them con-
tinue much longer in their present
complying temper, and no earthly
power can avert another war. And
the terrible responsibility will rest
partly on the people themselves. IF
they shall deceive this revolutionary
league into believing that they will
indeed submit to everything, theirs
will be portion of the guilt, and
all the ruin. And fearful indeed
will be the ruin.-LouiSuitle Journal.


In our mind there is no doubt as to who
is the more correct, Mr.. Forsyth or Mr..
Prentice. The latter not only shows bet.
ter and deeper knowledge of human nature,
but more thorough acquaintance with
the history of its pliancy, affability and
justice, which is sufferance of oppression
for while, and afterwards the wreakng
of retribution.

In this connection / desire to renew
my recommendation of last year, that
your influence be exerted for the early
completion of the Northern Pacific rail-
road and of the ship canal around the
Falls of Niagara, both of which, if IN op-
Grafton, would be sources of incalculable
benefit to this state and the whole coun-
try Several new lines of railroad are
being vigorously carried forward, and
there are Indications that others will be
commenced within this year. The peo-
pie of the sections through which these
roads are being constructed, alive to the
benefits to be derived from them, are
contributing large sums of money in aid
of their constructions There seems to be
good warrant for believing that the day
Is not far distant when we shall see everv

dant railroad facilities.

L cannot forbear recommending that
you ask the Federal Government to insist
upon a full and satisfactory settlement of
the expatiiatlon question The recent
re- af'irinance by a foreign nation, of the
doctrine OF feudal times, in the trial of
naturalzed citizens of the United States
for alleged violation of an allegiance long
s!nce renounced. compels vindication Of
the power and will OF this Hepubllc to
protect its citizens wherever found.
Those who came among US from the old
world, seeking homes, the protection of
our laws, and the benefits of our institu-
tions, justly demand that their status be
definitely and forever fixed Justice to
them, and to our national self-respect re-
quHe Immediate action upon this ques-
ton. When we invite Immigrants to
this country, pass laws extending to them
the rights and requiring of them the du-
ties of citizenship, we, by the plainest
implication. assert the right of axpatria-
tlon, and pledge ourselves to guarantee
that right. We are in honor bound to
redeem the pledge The nations of the
earth are forced to respect the rights of
the native American citizen, and the
same respect must be exacted for those
who, though born in foreign lands, have
become by naturalization, citizens of the
United States. In countless numbers
they have accepted our proffered welcome,
in good faith they have renounced all
fealty to other powers, and to the genu-
lneness of their new allegiance the ma
tional cemeteries of the land bear ample
but melancholy testimony To afford
them now but the partial protection of
the flag would be a distinction between
the adopted and the native born, at
once invidious and disgraceful.

A GREAT AERoLTE. We have an account
OF the fall of great aerolite in Cheatham
county, Tennessee, about nineteen miles from
Nashville, on the 18th ult.


The account is very graphic onc-the
black clouds suddenly lighted up with whit
ish-red glare-the metallic planet boiling
through them wrapped in flames from It's rapid
ozydaticn-the white hot mass cleaning
brighter and brighter till it struck the earth
the terrific crash as it burst through three feet
Of solid rock-the hills trembling with the aw-
tul shock-the trees falling all round, being
shaken out Of the earth by the concussion-all
this must have presented scene such as man
has seldom witnessed on this earth.


The huge mass burst through the thick rock,
like a stone through window-pane and
buried itself many feet in the earth, where at
the last accounts it was lying In its hole dis
charging steam like huge engine, and though
days had elapsed still too hot to be touched by
the hand. It is of conical shape, the natural
result Of the punching through of solid rock
toy an enormous lump OF white hot metal. 1t

A REFRESHING SIGHT on \ Hot DAY Is to
go to LEVY BROTHERS and see the crowded
state of their store. 1t drives away the thoughts
Of heat to behold such lively scene. There arc
now employed ut this od-established store twenty
one persons, being the largest force employed In
any one mercantile establishment In this city, and
even this large force Is found inadequate at times
to wait OF the many customers that visit their es-
tablishment. Now, why such crowd? Why SO
many anxious customers? Are dry goods becom-
ing scarce? We answer that the advantages that
customers derive In making their purchases at
LEVY BROTHERS Is the sole cause. Their goods
always marked down TO the lowest prices.
Their customers get the advantage of every bar
gain that they purchase. Such being the case 1t
IS natural that In these times consumers viii
purchase where the largest quantity Of goods can
be had for the least money; and experience has
proved that LEVY BROTHERS, is the place to
make their purchases.

TwENTY-FIFTH STREET AND THE STREET
RAILwAYs.-This important street has
lately been grade dfrom Broad to Venable,
the work bestowed upon it being the begin
ming made by the city towards the improve
ment of the suburbs recently annexed py
act of the Legislature. What has been
done on this street is not, apparently, great
deal. but it has made it so much smoother
and pleasanter for vehicles as to have very
much increased the travel upon it, and
given it q new appearance OF activity,
thereby affording q favorable prospect OF
the new aspect that will be bestowed upon oil
this part of the town when the parallel
and intersecting streets ere HkeWlse OF
more substantially improved.


The change already effected suggests an
other, and that is the running OF the street
cars from the corner Of Twenty fifth and
Main out toward Venable street and Falr-
field. There is probably no feeder to the
main line which, in proportion to Its COST,
would pay the Railway Company better
than this. In the first place, it would vastly
increase the travel on the railway from
Union and Church Hills by bringing the
cars nearer to the doors of thousands VINO,
though widely scattered, all live convenlen,
to Twenty-ffth and on o level with ii; and
who now, after leaving the cars, on their III
way home are compelled to ascend the hill
somewhere to reach their houses. In the
second place, all this part of the city would
be more rapidly built up, and new build
ings would probably spring up to the north
of yenable toward the wide and pleasant
plain of Fairfield and tho Nine-mlie road
After overcoming the grade from Main to
Broad-which is about the same as that
which ia now traversed on Ninth street
the company would have comparatively
level way as far as they might extend their
road either ip the direction OF Fairfield OF
oakwood Cemetery.

OAKwOOD Observation-Disclosures FOR
BURYING THE DEAD.-1f the Common Coun-
ell would make known its regulations for
those who wish to bury their dead, a great
deal of trouble would be saved at such
time when they are in poor condition
to bear it. A poor man who loses mem
Der of his family walks out to the cemetery
under this hot sun, and there learns that
he must 90 back to the City Hall and get a
permit from the Chamberlain. After a
walk, then, of four or more additional miles,
and fee to the Chamberlain, he is again
at the burying-ground, and after another
fee to the keeper there, his wish is at last
accomplished, and he may 60 home with a
weary body and heavy heart to get ready
for the funeral.


If all the fees could be paid to the Cham
berlain, and the settlement afterwards take
place between him and the keeper of the
cemetery, all that the party desiring the
grave would have to do, provided some no
tice were given about the matter, would be
to 20 to the City Hall and get the permit,
and then send or carry it out to the ceme-
terry. Paying at the City Hall is vastly pre-
ferable to paying at the cemetery, for rea-
son that will be appreciated by such as are ia
miliar with the extreme poverty of many OF
those who are often called upon to incur the
expense of burying their dead. They ere
liable to go about the melancholy business
without having suficien: money in their
pockets, and when this is found to be the
fact, it is much easier to return to their
friends for more from the City Hall than
from the cemetery. In cases where the
person who has to attend to buying grave
is female, the hardship of the present ar
rangement is more affecting.

Don't you know how to use them If
you don't, it's time you were learning.
Take hold of the first ploW, or hoe, or
jack plane or broad-axe that you can


find and go to work. Your capital will
soon yield you a large interest. Ay,
but there's the rub You don't want
to work you want money on credit,
that you may play gentleman and
speculate, and end by playing the vag-
abond.


Or you want plantation with plenty
of birelings upon it to do the work,
while you run over the country and
dissipate; or want to marry some rich
girl who may be foolish enough to take
| you for your good looks, that she may
support you.


Shame on you young mani Go to
work with the capital you have, and
| you'll soon make interest enough upon
| it to give you as much money as you


want and make you feel like man. If
| you can't make money on what capital
| you have you could not make it if you
had million of dollars in money. If
| you don't know how to use bone and
muscle and brains, you would not know
/ how to use gold. If YOU let the capital


that you have lie idle, and waste and


rust out, it would be the same thing
with you if you had gold; you would
! only know how to waste it.


Then don't stand about idle a great
| helpless child waiting for somebody to
come in and feed YOU, but go to work.


Take the first work you can find, no
MATTER what it is, so that you may do

do it well; always do your best. Ifyou


manage the capital you already have,


you will socn have plenty more to man


age; but if you can't or won't manage


the capital God has given you, you will


never have any other to manage. Do
you hear young man ?-ErchGa9e.
