Gen. Wade Hampton Defines his Position.


CHARLKsTos Oct. G.-The Daily News this
morning publishes a letter from Wade Hampton,
in reply TO a Wisconsin agyer who requested him
in view of the widespread misrepresentation of
his course, 10 define his position as to the issues,
results and consequences of the war.


Hampton says. "The main issues involved in the
war were secession and slavery. rne nrst the
primary one, the latter brought In at later
"In regard to these, / adopt fully and without

Convention held here in April last recognized him
as an integral part of the body polite, and de-
clared that it would, whenever the party came
into power, grant him partial suffrage.

Fortune, success, fame, position,
are never gained but by piously, de-
terminedly, bravely sticking, growing
lively to a thing until it is fairly ac-
compIished. In short you must carry
thing through if you want to be any
body or anything. No matter if it
does cost you the pleasure, the society,
the thousand early qualifications of
life. No matter for these. Stick to a
think and carry it through; believe
you were made for the matter, and
that no one else can do it. Put forth
the whole energies. Stir, wake, cleo
trify yourself, and go to your task.
Only once learn to carry a thing
through in all its completeness and
proportions, and you'll become a hero.
You will think better of yourself;
others will think better of you. Of
course they will. The world, in its
very heart, admires the stern, deter
mined doer. Drive right along, then
in whatever you undertake. You'll
be successful never fear.

The journeymen bricklayers Of New
York have been receiving five dollars
a day for ten hours work. The so
ciety which rules them appears to be
itself ruled by gentlemen who think
four dollars and a half would be pay
enough for days work, but don't want
the day to cover more than eight hours
that is, they want twenty per cent.
less work, and ten per cent. less pay.
the employers don't see it in that light
and there are, consequently, three
thousand idle bricklayers around the
city. Their loss of wages will amount to
S1O5,OOOa day. There is also a dispute
about apprentices. The Union demands
that no master mason shall have more
than two apprentices, and those Of a
specified age. The Union also demands
that no master mason shall labor OH the
building on which he is employing
men, unless he is himself a member
of the Union. The master masons
complain that, under the rules Of the
Union, they are required to pay the
same wages to capable and incapable
wOrkmen alike; and, that, in eonse-
quence, the average days work accom-
plish now only half what was formerly
considered a reasonable daily task.

those who have tried it to be a certain

Put in a large pitcher two table
spOOnsful of carbonate of soda and
four of loaf sugar, pour on these a pint
Of hot water and when they are per-
fectly dissolved add half a pint Of
cold water; then put in a tablespoonful
of pulverized Turkey rbubarb or two
ounces Ofthe tinUttre, a small teaspoon
ful of laddanum, eight drops Of the
oil Of peppermint, or enough of the
tIhcture to give it a respectable taste,
and, lastly, half a pint of good French
brandy. Bottle up carefully, and ad-
minister to the patient in doses equal
to half wine gIassful three times a
day, or as often as the bowels are
moved. In extreme cases, accOmpa-
MED by gripping pains, double the pro-
portion of brandy and laudanum, and
