The Right Posit ten. •
The following extract from an edi
torial in the Memphis Appeal of a late
date, is well worthy of the study and
perusal of every southern man. The
words arc words of truth and sober
ness :
If the Union can be restored on the
old basis,—if our States can be read
mitted into the Union as equals,—if the
Uniou of the Stttfils, as the Fathers
made it can be restored,—then wc nrc
ready to say “esto perpetua 1” That
Union wc loved, and could wish no
bettdr fortune for our children, none
better for our States than its restora
tion. For the return of those golden
days we prayed; but the prayer is not
tlie utterance of hope.
Our States, so far as they have re
turned into the Union, have not re
turned as equals, but as inferiors.
They crouch to receive their burthen.
The white men of the South are forced
to accept the negroes as their political
.peers, while thoso who force this upon
them refuse to accept them as such for
■themselves. The States of tho North
regulate the matter of suffrage for
themselves. Those of the South agree
to be kicked out of the Union, if they
ever take from the negro a privilege
that he is wholly unfit to exercise.
The Northern States put in force over
us Constitutions conceived in sin and
brought forth in iniquity. They con
firm and enforce the disfranchisement
of a third of the white race in all the
South. They arc our tyrants and op
pressors, and wc arc their slaves and
serfs and victims. Such a Union, as
wc have said heretofore, is like the
union of the living man and dead corpse
tied together by Mczentius.
“ \lt our Slates lie fainting, living,
Each to cadi with sobs replying;
anil tlie brutal tyrants of the worst
days of Home are reproduced and ex
aggerated iu the Stevenses, the Butlers,
(lie Logans,thoBinglmins, the Schencks,
and their aiders and abettors.
A standing army of negroes is to be
organized in eaelt Stato, to keep the
Caucasian under the rule of the semi
civiliz.cd Africans. The child of tho
Anglo-Saxon and the son of the Hu
guenot. the representatives of the chiv
alry of France and the cavaliers of
England, the descendants of the Vik
ings and the Norman heroes arc dis
franchised, aud the negro, armed with
the bayonet, votes.
If this should not be wholly changed ;
if the luxury of revenge, sweet to the
base, and hate and the incalculable vil
lainies of a sordid tyranny do not give
place to" a generous forgetfulness of
past animosities and the bloody trage
dies of the war, then no permanent
brotherhood between us and the peo
ple of the North is possible, llate and
the sense of wrong, and tho longing
for revenge, are not the cohesive at
traction that can consolidate Common
wealths into an Empire.
We aro not of those who hold that j
the overpowering of the South by the
Nortlforn legions in the late war, has
settled the construction of the Consti
tution as to the rights of the States.
We do not accept Force as tho inter
preter of civil compacts. To us, tho
Constitution is now precisely what it
always was, and the only true Union,
the Union of the States as sovereigns,
is sovereign solely by means of their
sovereignty. Our oath, required of us
as tliu condition of immunity, is to
support, preserve and defend the Con
stitution, “and the Union of the States
thereunder.” There is no union of the
States now : and our political creed can
be very briefly expressed. “The Union
of the States under tho constitutional
compact between them, all free, sove
reign and independent; or a South in
dependent of the North. ’
We do not admit that the consolida
tion of the States aud the destruction

do not love, and will not pretend to
love that Uniou, though we have agreed
to obey the laws of the conqueror. If
the old Union canuot he restored, we
will hope to see the South independent
before we die; aud if Jacobinism is to
become supreme iu the North, we wish
there could be an impassable wall or a
gulf of lire between it and our South
ern States.
YY'e arc frank to say that wc do not
believe that permanent harmony be
tween tlio North and South is possible,
while they continue united under one
government. One will rule aud the
oilier servo. Independent of eacli oth
er, they might be friends. The North
is too strong for the South, and the
South too much at its mercy ; aud it
never yet was known in the histoiy bt
the world, that strong States did not
oppress and vex and encroach upon
their weak neighbors.
The triumph of the Democracy at toe
coming election, would hold the Union
together, for a time, because the South
would then ho dealt with justly am
generously. But this would not last
long; and new discontents would be
continually caused by new impositions,
exactions and oppressions, until t 10
country would divide, perhaps into j
three or four Republics. It is by t.u
too largo to remain very long uiule%]
one government; and tlid day "1

The Adjournment ef Congress.
That body at Washington Which,
from past traditions more thin any
thing else, we give tlic name of Con
gress, has tnkeh h recess until the 21st
of Sejiteimbcr. It lias tlo'w been in al
most continuous session since the 4th
of March, 18C7. In its perpetual sit
tings, in its bold gra«p for the supreme
power, in its mutilated Rump, in its
attempt to subvert the Constitution
nud to destroy the Executive and Ju
dicial branches of the Government, it
strongly resembles the famous ‘'Long
Parliament” of England, which at last
was so ignominiously dispersed by
Cromwell. In the usual course of Con
gressional experience, it woulcUhavc
taken a recess to the first Monday of
December, but sucli an adjournment
was supposed to be opposed to the in
terests of the party. It must reassem
ble to watch the President of the Re
public, to see that ho does not exercise
the great powers of ins office in an in
dependent manner, for tlic benefit of
the people. The phantom of impeach
ment is to be kept constantly before
his eyes, and lie is to be threatened
with removal from office unless he
yields a timid and slavish behest to tlic
exorbitant demands of the Radicals.
Since the failure of tlic impeachment
by one vote, no less than fourteen car
pet-baggers of the South, the scum of
Northern Republicans, have been ad
mitted into the United States Senate,
and with this increase impeachment is
regarded as certain if a move is made
in that direction. The assemblage of
Congress in September is nothing less
than a threat to the executive. It is the
rod in terrorem over his head. It lias
no other public feature whatever.
There is no business requiring its
meeting before the usual time in De
cember. It is only for tlic vilest party
purposes that this intermediate ad

lias been unscrupulous in its TirtirfM
tions, and corrupt beyond all modern
precedent. The tyranny of its meas
ures toward the South has been only
equalled by the rigorous despotism of
the Czar of Russia over Poland. With j
this exception, there has been nothing
like it in our times. All of its meas
ures have been calculated, if not de
signed, to keep alive the flames of ani
mosity between tho North and the
South, and to render any common co
operation by them in the same Union
in the future impossible.
Tho main idea of its policy lias been
to exalt the negro of the South,-to ren
der him all powerful, and to place the
whites of that section beneath his feet.
It has been completely mortgaged to
tho monetary interest, and lias only
studied how the privileged few could
be benefitted by increased exactions
upon the laboring class. It lias made
a record most hateful to every pure pa
triot. Tho Congressional folios illus
trating its session, arc little less than a
history of its misdeeds and its crimes.
As long as time shall lust, it will have
an evil reputation for everything that
is base and dishonorable. From its
organization it has been in a standing
conspiracy against the Constitution
and Government. If auy of its leading
measures have been constitutional,
have preserved the least semblauco of
legality, the fact yet remains to be
pointed out. This Congress has been
an assembly which has been illustrated
by no commanding, and hardly by any
respectable talent. It can lay claim to
no public or private virtue. Stealing
and robbery of the public have gone on
right under its eye. doubtless with its
connivance. The hour that shall wit
ness its final dispersion, ought to be
commemorated with a public jubilee.
It is a relief to be rid of it even for a
season. The country will draw a
longer and freer breath on that account.
It is something that for seven weeks

to haven comparative quiet and repose.
This repose, it is true, will be mingled
with keen feelings of apprehension as
to what mischief it will perform upon
its reasscmblage in September. If the
country is not plunged in the end into
civil war, into irretrievable confusion
and a March y, it will be owing no
thanks to this execrable assembly, one
of the worst that is to be met witli in

How Fortaaea are Made.
Ask the millionaires how they made
their fortunes. Ask the half million
aires. Ask tlio merchant princes, the
patent medicine men. Ask the great
majority of men who hare in the'{last
fifteen years groVfi wealthy. Ask
Robert Bonner of the New York Led
ger. Ask that prince of showmen, the
great exhibitor of woolly horses and
bearded women, Barnum. Ask com
mon sense and reason how fortunes arc
made in this day of progress. The
same answer is •unifofmly given; by
advertising ; by spreading business
before the people: by heralding goods,
wares and merchandise to the world;
by telling customers whero business
men are, and what they do, and how
they do it.
Ask the snipe sources, how fortunes
are not made. A uniform answer will
bo given: by kdt advertising ; by
shutting up one's self, one’s goods,
wares, merchandise from the public;
by going down i-n the wcM'of obscurity;
and pulling it in after one; by trusting
that somebody, by accident, will blun
der in on one and become a customer;1
by hoping that an article hid. away
from the public will ’be searched for
and found among the rubbish of years.
‘Desperate ‘conclusion ! The public of
this day operate through agencies.
What the locomotive is to the freight
train, the newspaper is to commerce.
It is the mirror of society, nnd reflects
all of its affin'rs. You talk of your
town, and grow eloquent on its advan
tages. You tell the stranger it is so
and so. “Very well,” says the stran
ger, “what proof have you?” “Well,”
says tlie old fogy, scratching his head,
“we have—well, we—have a nice loca
tion, good afreets, pure Witter, and flver
so many stores.” “That won't do,” re
joins the enterprising stranger. “Let
me see uiu uviucuces oi your progress,
the spirit of your people. Let me see1
the newspaper, the mirror of All pro
gress. Let me see that.” Old fogy
blushes as he admits that they don’t set
much store by newspapers, the town
can get on without them. Thoy are
such an expense. People don’t think
it worth while to advertise. Public
opinion is against it. The shrewd man
of the world, just from the great marts
of commerce, enterprise and progress,
turns away With A smothered laugh and.
a final, “good day, sir.” No sensible
man will conclude that a city that can
not, or will not, sustain a newspaper is
likely to attract at tention. What would
the great cities of the north and west
bo without their daily papers? Peo
ple have not leisure to search through
the holes and dusty passages of a town
for an article they want. They look to
the newspaper to ascertain where it
may be found. Eiuding the locality,
there they purchase. They go to the
lawyer, the doctor, the mechanic, to
those ouly whose names and business
appear in the newspaper. Experience
has suggested at this day, Ihc motto:
If you would succeed, keep your busi
ness before the people.
Horses In Battle.
The extent to which a charger can
apprehend the perils of a battle-field
may be easily underrated by one who
confines his observation to horses still
carrying their riders; for, as loug as a
troop-horse in action feels the weight
and hand of a master, his deep trust in
man keeps him seemingly free from
great terror, and ho goes through the
fight, unless wounded, as though it
were a field-day at home j but the mo
ment that death or a disabling wound
deprives him of his rider, he seems all
at once to learn what a battle is—to
perceive its real dangers with the clear
ness of a human being, and to be agon
iacd with horror of the fate he may
incur for want of a hand to guide him.
---- ----o-1
he shows plainly enough that ho more
or less knows the dread accent that is
used by missiles of war while cutting
their way through the air, for as often
as these souuds disclose to him the
near passage of bullet or round shot,
he shrinks and cringes. His eyeballs
protrude. Wild with fright, he still
docs not most commonly gallop^homc
into camp. Ills instinct seems rather
to toll him that what safety, if any,
there is for him, must he found in the
ranks; and lie rushes at the first squad
ron he can find, urging piteously, yet
with violence, that he too, by right, is
a troop horse—that he too is willing to
charge, but not to bo left behind—that
he must and he will “fall in.” Some
times a riderless charger thus bent on
aligning with his fellows, will not be
content to range himself on the flank
of the line, but dart at some point in
the squadron which he seemingly
judges to be his own rightful place,
and strives to force himself in.
Hiding, as it is usunl for the com
mander of a regiment to do, some way

George I’aget was especially tormented '
and pressed by the riderless horses
which chose to turn round und align
with him. At one time there were
throe or four of these horses advancing
close abreast of him on one side, anil
as many as five on the other. Impelled '
by terror, by gregarious instinct, and |
by their habit of ranging in line, they
“closed” in upon Lord George as to
besmear his Overalls with blood from '
the gory flanks of the nearest Intruders,
and oblige him to use bis sword.— J

The Oreat Learnm*.
The first great lesson a young ihan
should learn is that he knows nothing.
The earlier and the more thoroughly
this lesson is learned the better. A
ho'me-Wred youth, gfb'wing ttp ‘In the
light of parental admiration, 'frith
everything to foster his vanity and self
esteem, is surprised to find, and often
unwilling to acknowledge, the superi
ority of other people. But lie is com
pelled to learn his own insignificance ;
Ids airs arc riftldhTed, Ids blunders ex
posed, his wishes disrcgaVdcd, and lie
is made to cut a sorry figure, until his
self-conceit is abased, and he feels that
he knows nothing.
When a young man has thoroughly
comprehended the fact that he knows
nothing, and that, intrinsically he is of
but little value, the next lessen fs that
the world cares nothing nbout 1dm.
He is the subject of no man’s over
whelming admiration ; neither petted
by the one sex, nor envied by the other,
lie has to takccare of himself. He will
not be (rotfaed until he “becomes notice
able ; ho will not become noticeable
until lie docs something to prove that
ho is of some use to society. No re
commendation or introduction will
give him tins; he mtist do something
to be recognized as somebody.
The next lesson is that of patience.
A mnn must learn to wait as well as to
work, and to be content with those
means of advancement iu life which
he may use with integrity and honor.
Patience is one of the most difficult
lessons to learn. It is natural for the
mind to look for immediate results.
I.ct this, then, bo understood at
starting, that the patient conquest of
difficulties which rise in the regular
and legitimate channels of business
and Cntcrnrisc is not onlv essential in
securing the success which a young
man seeks in life, but essential also to
that preparation of the niiml requisite
for the enjoyment of success, and for
retaining it when gained. It is the
general rule in all the world and in all
time, that unearned success is a cilrse.
Fresh Air.
Every house should be thoroughly
.ventilated the first thing every morn
ing, so as to allow the atmosphere of
the previous night to escape. This can
be done by first airing one part, then
another. Ity doing, this a house can
also bo more easily warmed. When
there are many persons collected in a
room care should be observed to keep
a few inches of the window open from
the top, every one avoiding sitting
close to it or under it, as, after a time,
when there are many collected together
the atmosphere of the room becomes
impregnated with their exhalations,
and the air is thus rendered impure.
By perfect ventilation there is a uniform
amount of oxygen, which is the vital
part of the atmosphere, and which is
necessary to our very existence, main
tained. AVho has not noticed the dis
agreeable feeling produced on going
from the fresh air into a room with
many persons, in which the ventilation
is imperfect ? At night, also, tVesh air
should be admitted into the room, for
it is, if anything, more necessary that
there should be a plentiful supply of
oxygen. Wo have often been asked
the ridiculous question, if enough air
did not como in through the keyhole.
Certainly not. That is not fresh air.
Make it a rule always to sleep with
part of your window open from the
top, avoiding its blowing on you.
Fresh air never hurt any one, for by it
wc live. It is the want of it that
injures. Persons seem to forget that
they spend oue-tliird of their lives in
their bed-rooms. AVe frequently sec a
man building a bouse bestowing all his
attention on the plan of the parlors.
while the bod-rooms are, to a great ex
tent,and in some instances,entirely neg
lected. It had better be vice versa.

An old man named Samuel Wash

1837, was banished for life to Van Dio
man’s Land by the Canadian Govern
ment, Thursday evening arrived in
Buffalo in search of his relatives, who
live at Wales, in this county. The old
man is a pitiable object, being clothed
in rags, and completely broken in
health. lie was born in 180!), in Bast
Hartford, Conn., and in 1830 came to
this locality and took up his residence
on the Cattaraugus Ileservation. In
1835 he went to Canada, and having
takeu part in the Patriot war in 1837,
was banished to Van Dicmau’s Land

he was twenty-two years of age. Two

Work or Starve.
This is the law anti the penalty from
which there is no escape.—Thousands
are trying to evade it; some by making
their fellowmcn work for therfr, others
by dfefie'nding on money inherited or
accumulated in former years, but with
out avail. If idle, they starve in the
midst of plenty. They may eat to the
full, but eating without exercising is
against the law of nature, and very
soon the stomach refuses to digest the
food, the body is not nourished and the
man literally starves though he feel
not hunger. The hands, the brain and
the heart must work to live. If you
dodge the labor of learning lessons, you
nt the same time miss the strength of
intellect which mental work brings,
and the mind will pine for the want of
’nourishment. Thousands have starved
their wits fii this way, until they won
der how it is that others carry away all
the prizes of life.—Many starve their
hearts by never exercising them with
noblo emotions. Selfishness cats into
nattiro like a canke'i-; leaves the man
hungry for affection ; but love 1b the
price of love, and lie that will not work
in this field must accept the penalty.—
It is an erVoi’ to think that work is a
penalty imposed on man for having
violated God's command. Man's na
ture is such that activity is the luw of
his being. Every muscle and uerve
calls for employment, that it may re
main in health, and there can scarcely
be a more terrible punishment then
solitary confinement, where the eye,
the ear and the hands must remain idle.
—A slow and painful deatli will surely
result. So then, boys and girls strive
to love work and not to shun it.

A Negro Prophet that has seea
the Almighty.
A correspondent of the Alexandria
(Jazcttc thus writes from Hanover
county, under date of 6th of July:
“Early every morning, every road
and by-path of our lovely land was
filled with hurrying crowds of men,
women and children of the colored
race, wending their way to the home
of iBaylo'r, the ‘Prophet.
“Baylor is an old negro, who has
seen the Almighty fnce to face, and
talked with him ah Than thlks with
man. He knows all things, present,
past and future. He has wooden an
gels, good and bad, which ho keeps
chained in his domicile, who perform
at his bidding the most extraordinary)
feats, nnd over whom lie keeps vigils,
night and day. He gives to all who
ask it, the body and blood of the
Savior.
“He has constructed a chariot in
which he sits, and from which he dis
closes his Wonderful visions and as
tounding revelations, and in which he
designs to ride triumphantly to Hea
ven, like Elijah of old.
To this strange being hundreds of
the sons and daughters of Africa, for
miles and miles around, were speeding
their way, puffing, blowing, fanning,
seething and sweltering beneath the
melting rays o^he July sun, to drink
in the streams of supernatural wisdom,

If negro supremacy should last five
years Fetichism will become as univer
sal among the negroes ns it is among

constant contact with and dependence
upon the whites has kept it under. It
is bred in the bone of the African, and,
if left to himself, it will be certain td

Tennessee Crisis.
The telegraph brings Us the substance
of Rrownlow’s message to the Tennessee
Legislature. It is the most fiendish paper
that over issued from the Governor of a
Stato. A hundred thousand white men
are disfranchised and placed under tho
brutal dominion of their lato slaves led by
Brownlow himself, who lives but to hate,
insult and persecute them. Aud yet he
is not satisfied, but calls for troops with
which to make war upon them, and asks
for authority to hunt them down like
wolves and shoot them on sight. Ho does
not ask for a militia to be used as a posse
comitalus to aid the enforcement of legal
procoss and bring offenders to trial. This
would not gratify his impish malignity.
Ho asks that the negroes of the State be
armed and sent out, to act upon rumor, or
the impulses of tbeir own savago natures,
to select their own viotims, and to be pro
tected by law ift What ever they may
choose to do I
If this docs not mean a war of raoos it
is impossible to imagine such a thing.
Who belioves that it can be inaugurated
in Tennessee without becoming general ?
Will white men in ncigboring States stand
composedly by while negroes of Tennessee
are hunting down and butcheiing the
white population at tho command of a
madman ? Is it not a part of tho Radical
Presidential programme? Hare they not
put Brownlow forward to do this thing in
order to have a war of races, and to moke
a pretext for using tho whole army of the
United States in the Presidential election ?
Coming at the time it does, when the
Radicals have nominated the General of
tho army, and arming the Southern ne
giuc-B, mia oiuvuui jmuwiuuw b uub ;tu Ugly,
premediated look about it. It is a move
which ho would not dare to make excopt
as a pretext for calling iu the army of the
United States; for he knows there is
enough disfranchised and oppressed white
men in Tennessee to grind him and his
negro cut throats to powder in a week.
Tobacco and llald nest*.
Dr. Hoffman argues in the Pacific
Medical and Surgical Journal, that the
use of tobacco, by impediug the circu
lation and preventing the free and nat
ural supply of nourishment to the hair,
occasion baldness. In support of this
theory, ho says:
A gentleman uuder forty years of
age, and a patient of mine, who had
been for the Inst five or six years both
bald-hoadod aud gray-haired, found it
necessary a few months ago to quit the
use of tobacco entirely. Ho has en
tirely recovered his health, which was
bad while ho used tobacco ; he also has
recovered entirely from his baldness,
and his “gray locks’’ have been re
placed by an unusually luxuriant
growth of natural hair, of as fine a
black hue as one could wish to see; he
has also lost that sallow, beeswax hue
of skin, and sickly paleness of color
which slaves to the weed so generally
have. All of this might bo expected
as a natural result, except the growth
of hair and its change of color, which
in this case', at least, has occurred as
one of the results of leaving off a nox
ious habit.

A Horae Hath.
In a recent number of the Turf, Field
and Farm was a commnnlcation suggest
ing that a bath, after the manner of the
Turks, would be an cxcollcnt thing for
fitting horses for hard service. Its effect
on tho human system have been satisfac
torily tested and as there is h good deal of
human about the horso, it is inferred that
the influence of the bath may prove
equally as benefleia! to the quadruped as
to the biped. It is possible that the bath
may be made available for the cure of
many diseases of the horse which arc now
regarded ns beyond the control of ordinary
medicinal agencies. At all events, while
using the bath preparatory to contests of
speed, it might not bo amiss to subject
some of the crippled or ailing of the
family to similar treatment. What is good
for the health and vigor of the sporting
animal can scarcely prove otherwise than
useful to the roadster or farm drudge
suffering from tho effects of over-exertion
or hard usage.
Editorial Hon Mots from the
Louisville Journal.
Beecher tells us that Grnnt Is “skil
ful in using men.” That he is skilful
in using them up Is sufficiently proven
by the bones of the hundred thousand
men ho used up during a single cam
paign in Virginia.
A Lowell paper, In a Sunday article,
intended to l>e very moral, says “the
road to hell has no forks.” This may
be true, but the route by way ol Lowell
has plenty of spoons.
A ’radical paper tells us that “Gen.
Grant will carry into the Presidential
chair a wcll-bulanced mind.” Ilcshould
throw away his bottle, that be may
carry also a well-balanced body.
Grant never liked Gen. Lee. lie
to turn liis back on him.
The Congo candidate. IIo com
mcuccd ifi smoke and ended in smell.
That’s Tkue.—The New Sun, inde
pendent with Radical proclivities, says
this:
“If any positive Democrat feels ft
pang of regret at the dofeat of Mr.
Pendleton, in the Democratic Conven
tion, he may console himself with the
reflection that ofall the candidates who
went into the Convention, Mr. Pendle
ton is the only one who came out of it
with prestige undimmed and power
unquestioned. He dictated the plat
form and he chose the candidates, and,
what is more, he prevented the nomina
tion of any man who can compete with
him iu 1872. Young Greenbacks still
lives, as people will find out by care
fully watching the signs in the West.”
-The “elephant beetle” is one of
the plagues which has been recently
sent upon the mormons. A writer
from Utah describes these elephant
beetles as follows: “They arc about
four inches long, with legs three inches
long; their antennae are stiff, sharp,
and fully four inches long; they hare
a short tail, armed with ft powerful
horn, and their shells are so hard that
the weight of u man will scarcely
crush them.”
ftSP'Thc radical party does not thank
the Louisville Journal for its scheme
of salvation. The Journal cannot point
us the road to heaven ; it could perhaps
show us the way to hell.—Canton Re
publican.
Certainly we can; keep straight
ahead ; there is no road to put you out.

-General Enthusiasm and General
Grant do not run on the same ticket.
