PROTECTION.
“ ITomo protection" fa a thesis npon
whicli writers on political economy
have, both iu Europe ami America, de
voted their rfblest and beat efforts for
the last century, whilst the inott gifted
statesmen and politicians in both coun
tries their talents to the Investigation,
elucidation and practical application of
the principles of protection to each
country respectively, and the advan
tages thnt result from a well regulated
system of protection. Since the or
ganization of our government this sub
ject has been discussed in every shape
and form, in the Eastern, Northern
and middle states, and the result is,
those Rtatcs are prosperous beyond all
! precedent; every branch of mechanical
{ industry has attained the highest point
I of human perfection, and the people of
those states instead of importing arti
cles of fine manufactory from Europe
are sending hundreds of thousand of
articles across the Atlantic to the
mother country. Thus by protecting
the manufactor, the mechanic and ar
tist, the agriculturist was protected,
and (he whole country flourished and
prospered ; the country became densely
populated ; schools and churches flour
| ished, and every interest was promoted.
But bow is it witli the people of the
I South! are they protected, patronized
I and encouraged in prosecuting the va
I rious branches of the arts and mechan
ism. We speak often and boastingly
* of our advantages, our resources and
prospects, as if these things would
spring up by magic and grow sponta
neously and become sources of wealth
1 to us, while we Bleep with folded arms
quiescently and supinely awaiting for
some one to step in and trouble the
wafers. How is it in Dcs Arc—where
is our saddler, harness-maker,, tailor,
shoemaker, tinner, buggy-maker, hat
tor; are we trying to build up and sus
tain and support iu our town such men.
or does our actions and our practice
tend directly to the breaking down of
all such men engaged in the industrial I
pursuits which arc so indispensible to '
national prosperity; or, rather do our |
capitalists and business men seem to
act upon the principle, “we must swim
though you sink.” I)o we not daily
find men that hold up holy hands and
invoke the fires of heaven upon the un
consecrated \aukec, and thank God in
public places that they are not as other
men ; and yet if you find oue of these
eupercilliuus self-const it utqd Pharisees
with an ax-handle, an ax, a spade, a
pair of hoots or shoes, a new coat or
vest, a walking caue, a saddle, a bug
gy, a pipe or cigar, or anything else,
and ask him where and how he got it;
lie tells you from the East of course;
from the heaven cursed and hell de
serving Yanks. Then ask the simple
question, why! can’t you make these
little things in the South, so prolific in
material resources ; yes, hut our mer
ehants can bring on all these things and
sell them to us cheaper than we can af
ford to make them. But the Yankee
must have his profit on them, the mer
chant lie sells to must have his profit,
the railroad and steamboat must have
their profit, and finally, the Des Arc
merchant must, of course, have his pro
fit. So you pay profits to four differ
ent men when you buy an ax-handle or
riding bridle, and yet you gel them
cheaper by sending East for them ; and
why is this that we continue to send
our money away for such tilings, when
we could produce them at home, sim
ply because we will not unite in sus
taining and encouraging our mechanics
and shop laborers at home until they
can get a start in tho various branches
and pursuits of industrial mechanism.

A Correct Account of the .Manner ,
In which They were Captured.
We yesterday staled the fact of the
little steamer ilesper being boarded by
Arkansas boys, and the cargo of tire
arms she was carrying to liadicals
“over t he wav "thrown into the Missis
sippi river. We now give the particu
lars of the seizure, as stated by Capt.
John Ford, whose tug, the Nettie Jones,
was impressed for the service:
“On Thursday afternoon the tug
Nettie Jones, under mv command, left
the wharf for Fort Pickering, having a
barge in tow, and intending to return
with lumber. The tug reached its
destination about half-past live o'clock.
No one was in sight ; but the line had
scarcely been fastened before the spot
w as covered with men, all so masked
as to be unrecognizable. They were
probably s hundred in number, and had
evidently been concealed for sometime
under the bluff. Had they sprung out
of the earth their appearance before the
startled crew could hardly have been
more sudden. Without speaking a
word, they quickly boarded the tug,
took possession of the pilot-house and
engine-room, and ordered tue to imme
diately start down the river, adding, by
way of an incentive to promptuesB,
that some body might be hurt in the
event of a refusal.
•^••As soon as I could sufficiently! re
cover from my fright to decide whether
my unbidden guests were a hundred or
a thousand in number, I comprehended
that resistance was out of the question.
Accordingly I ordered one of the crow
to cast off the line, snd in a few mo
p—ip——mammp————i
incuts the tug was rapidly sleMiiinj
for President! Islam! ehrtte. tJpoi
taking possession, the newcomniaiider
kept a vigilant ove on the crew, no
allowing any one of them to leave Id
post for even a moment The engineo
was not permitted to oil his machinery
the mysterious passengers evident!;
fearing he might suddenly put it out o
repair.
“The head of the tug was held stead
ily down the river uutil approaching
Cat Island, tWonty-flve mile below
near the Arkansas shore. This wa
between seven and eight o'clock, and
was ordered to ran 'my tug alongsidi
tiie little steamer llespcr, which left thi
city during the afternoon with the car
go of Radical arms for Arkansas, am
was tied up, wooding. During thi
trip, the leaders of this mysteriou
party informed, me that they in tend e<
overhauling the Hcsper and destoyiny
t lie arms, hut that strict orders had beei
issued to the men to harm no one, ant
respect all other property.
“in obedience to orders, I ran the tuj
alongside. This was no sooner acconi
plislied than, leaving two of the num
her in tlio pilot-house, two in tin
engine-room and one in the cabin as i
guard, the veiled party suddenly sprang
aboard the llespcr. Little or nothin:,
was said, and the boarders, who eviden
tly had an eye to business, placed the
crew uuder surveillance and commen
ccd the work in hand. The gun-boxes
were broken open with axes ant
hatchets, the guns taken outand throwi
into the river. Many were broken be,
fore being consigned to the element
A large quantity of ammunition iu the
hold, marked ‘sundries,’ was alsc
thrown over hoard. The boxes wen
shoved overboard after then:, and many
of them were seen by passengers ou the
Mayflower, floating with the current
In half an hour the task was accom
plished, and the party quietly returned
to the tug, leaving the Hesper adrift
and in possession of all tier crew whe
remained, Captain Houston and lib
brother having made rapid strides foi
the wo^ods as soon as the Nettie was
seen bearing down upon their craft.
“The mysterious raiders once more
aboard my tug, I was required to turn
the boat liortiiward, and proceed until
further orders. At midnight she
reached a point in President's Island
chute, eight miles below the city.
Here, by order of the veiled comman
der, she was run-aground. No sooner
had this been done than some one, un
til that moment invisible, ou the island,
was hailed. A minute afterward «
skiff put out from tiie shore, and was
_i_- Ain.rt#».„ ...
in it was black or white could not be
uscertainted, as lie, too, wag masked.
Six of the raiders got into the skiff'and
were taken ashore, and the skiff contin
ued making trips until three a. m. when
the last six were safely landed on the
Arkansas shore. liut before, any one
left, strict orders were given to remain
in the chute until daylight. 1 did so,
the tug not changing position until
seven a. m. yesterday. She then re
turned, bringing (lie first and only
intelligence of what had occurred.”
A Letter from Tliadsleus Stevens.
The following letter was made public
tlie first time on Wednesday night:
Washington. Saturday, June 27. IStiS.
Dear Sir:—1 regret i can not speak
favorably of tlie Chicago platform. It
is like most of the Kepnblican plat
forms for the past six years, lame and
cowardly. For l wenty years before the
war the North behaved like poltroons
in all their legislative controversies
with slavery. They have much more
pliysicial than moral courage. Had it
not been for a few determined men in
1801 the Union would have been dissol
ved. The Republicans have, as 1 said,
great physical courage, and when
driven lothe lest, will always conquer.
They are just as timid now as they
were before tlie war—for trade might
suffer. What did the hold men at
Chicago gain by selling the right of
suffrage? They tell mo that tlie loyal
blacks at tlie South earned it by tlie aid
they gave us. but that when they have
not made that purchase, the right ot
suffrage remains at the pleasure of tlie
States. Now, tlie Republican party
knows that the Declaration of Indepen
dence contains no such folly, no such
wickedness. 1 treat every man ns a
man, and tlie right of universal suffrage
as mi inalienable right, long suspended
from neglect, and now, lor the first
time since the forming of the Constitu
tion of tlie United States, capable of
enforcement. You insuitthe shades of
Adams, Otis, Jefferson, and their coin
peers, by talking to them about barter
ing the imperishable right of the elec
tive franchise. Why uot traffic or sell
their life, liberty, and souls? This doc
trine reduces all men to soulless slaves
or corpses, This question must be met;
the sooner it is done the more success
ful it will be. There is one consolation.
The Democrats can’t fiud as good candi
dates ; but, from constant and long
ous platform. It is vain for the Repub
lican party to hope to maintain their
liberty by skulking. Let them be bold
and honest, and they will learn that
"Heaven still rules.” Let them be
cowardly and mean, and they will re
ceive their reward with tho “hewers of
wood and drawers of water.”
I am, sir, very respectfully your obe
dient servant, Tiiaddecs Stevens.

THE CAMILLA HIOT.
lira. Sibley’s Report—It thrown
the Reaponalbllity on the Ne
groes.
The fact was heralded throughout the
country several weeks since that Gen
eral Siblcv was investigating the cause
of the recent riot Jut Camilla. Ga., ami
that, when completed, the report would
ho sent to General Howard, of the
Freedmen’s Bureau, and, of course its
the Radicals expected, it would bo all
in their favor and against the truth.
Thev wero awaiting Its arrival, eager
to make political capital from its state
ments.
This report, it is well known, has
been transmitted to Geu. Howard by
Geu. O. Sibley, and should certaintly
have been in the possession of that
autocrat of the bureau for the freedmen
for some days past. Our reporter has
made several applications at the head
quarters ofthe bureau for a copy of the
report or u peep at its contents. He
has been Informed bv some of the offi
cials there that “they did not think the
report had yet been received.”
Gen. Howard refuses to give the re
port to the press, or any information
concerning it. The report does not
suit him and his Radical friends. It is
very long and is based upon the sworn
statement of responsible witnesses.
It throws tho responsibility of the
riot wholly upon the negroes, and
demonstrates the fact that they went
to the meeting armed, and when
remonstrated with by the Sheriff refus
ed to give up their arms, which was the
cause of the riot. The first dispatches
regarding the disturbances are proved
to have bceu substantially correct, and
the refusal of Geu. Howard to allow
the report to be published is sufficient
evidence of its damaging character to
the Radical party.
Gen. Sibley has been an army officer
for thirty odd years, and was not just
the Icinti of man to garble facts and
truth to suit the Radical scheme.

l)n. John Bum.—Dear Sir: Last February
I was in Louisville purchasing drugs, and 1
got some of your Sarsaparilla and Cedron
Bitters.
My son-in-law who was with me in the
store, has been down with rheumatism for
some time, commenced on the Bitters, and
soon found his general health improved.
Dr. Gist, who has been in bad health, tried
them, and he also improved.
Dr. Coffee, who has been in bad health for
several years—slomach and liver affected—he
improved very much by the use of your Bit
ters. Indeed the Cedron Bitters has given
you great popularity in this settlement. I
think f could sell a great quantity of your
medicines this fall—especially of your Ced
ron Bitters nud Sarsaparilla, Ship me via

WORM DESTROYER.
To my FMilted Staten and W orld
wide Header*.
I havo received many testimonials from
professional and medical men, as my alma
nacs and various publications have shown,
all of which are genuine. The following let
ter from a highly educated and popular phy
sician in Georgia, is certainly one ofHhe most
sensible communications I have ever received.
Dr. Clement knows exactly what lie speaks
of, and his testimony deserves to be written
in letters of gold. Hear what the Doctor

June 20, 1866. j
PrxJohn Bull—Dear Sir: I have recent
ly given your “Worm Destroyer” several
trials, and find it wonderfully efficacious. It
has noi failed in a single instance to have the
country practice, and have daily use for some
article of the kind. 1 am free to confess tlwki
1 know of no remedy recommended by the
ablest, authors that is so certain and speedy
in its effects. On the contrary they are \in
certeain in the extreme. My object in writ
ing you is to find upon what terms 1 can get
the medicine directly from you. If 1 can get
it upon easy terms, 1 shall use a great deal of
it. 1 am aware that the use of such articles
is contrary to the teachings and practice of a
great majority of the regular line of M. D.’s,
but I see no just causA>r good sense in dis
carding a remedj which we know to be effi
cient, simply because we may be ignorant of i
its combination. For my part, I shall make
it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate !
suffering hunfanity which 1 may be able to j
command—not hesitating because some otic
more ingenious than myself may liavo learned
its effects first, and secured the sole right to i
secure that knowledge. However, I am bj- i
no means an advocate or supporter of the !
thousands of worthless nostrums that flood
the country, that purport to cure all manner
of disease to which human flesh is heir.
Pi- a^c reply soon, and inform me of j'our
best terms. Iam, sir, most respectfully,

cian in Central New York, where he died,

At thirteen years of age he had n chronic di
arrhea aud scrofula, for which I gave him
your Sarsaparilla. It CfRKP Him, I have
for ten years recommended it to many in
New York, Ohio, and Iowa, for scrofula, fe
ver sores, and general debility. Perfect suc
cess has Rtteudeu it. The cures effected in
some cases of scrofula and fever sores were almost
miraculous. I am very anxious for my son
to again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla.

were terrible, but I believe he will recover.

The proprietor of this celebrated raodicin
justly claims for it a superiority over all
remedies ever offered to the public for the |
taffy certain, speedy, and permanent cure of
Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether
of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and South-western country;
to bear him testimony to the truth of the as- j
sort ion, that in no case whatever will it fail
to cure, if the directions are strictly followed
aud carried out. In a great many eases a
single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and
whole families have been cured by a single
bottle, With a perfect restoration of the gen
eral health. It is, however, prudent, and in
every case more certain to cure, if its use is
continued in smaller doses for a week or two
after the disease has been checked, more es
pecially in difficult and long-standing eases.
Usually, this medicine will not require any
aid to keep the bowels in good order; should '
the patient, however, require a cathartic
medicine, after having taken three or four
doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL S
VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be suffi
cient.

TEXAS TONIC SIRUP!
A Vegetable Compound, for the Rapid and
Porwauont Cure of
Clillls and Fever, or Fever and
Ague, Hu mb Ague, Intermit
tent and Remittent Fevers,
Jaundice and Enlargement
of tlie Spleen, or Ague
Cake.
Having had indubitable evidence of its
prompt and certain effects from the testimo
ny, of a multitude of respectable citizens,
among whom are classed some of our best
physicians, we do not hesitate to recommend
this Preparation in all cases of Fever and
Ague and Chills and Fever: indeed, from the
facts in our possession of its intrinsic value,
it would nut be too much for us to state that
nlmn t I. rl i v/»#• » i iin a utl’idl V GOUl Til i i'll
with, wo warrant a cure in every case where
it is tried. It is pleasant to the taste, and
the cheapest medicine in the world. There
fore, in truth, it may be declared the day is
not far distant when it must be appreciated
and used in every household where Fever aud
Ague or Chills and Fever is found to exist.
The wonderful operation of the Texas Ton
ic Syrup in neutralizing the effects of mala
rious poison in the human system, can only
explain its extraordinary agency in the
speedy, thorough aud permanent cure of
Chills and Fever or Fever and Ague, and all
their kindred diseases, in whatever form of
Bilious Complaints they may make their ap
pearance.
As its name imports, it is a Tonic of rare
and medicinal virtues, composed of pure and
harmless ingredients, and are so united as to
form a compound alike skillful in art, beau
tiful in appearance, and can be taken with
safety to the most delicate constitutions. It
is the result of a lifetime of experience and
practice in a Southern climate, aud was nev
er known to fail, even where all otho reme
dies had been tried in vain.
Those who are unacquainted with the ex
traordinary properties of this home produc
tion, manufactured from Roots and Plants
indigenous to the soil of our “sunny South,”
(and hence adapted to the cure of Southern
climatic diseases) are respectfully referred
to the certificates of respectable citizens
whose names are embraced in a pamphlet
which accompanies each bottle; also the en
dorsements of the press in all the Southern
States, indicating the many thousand cures
already performed by our justly celebrated
Texas Tonic Syrup.
The reports from hundreds of Druggists,
Merchants and Dealers, from all parts of the
country, are uniform iu stating the medicine
is safe, certain and reliable, as a substitute
for Quinine and the poisonous compounds
heretofore generally sold, and is rapidly
supplanting everything of this class.
As a home enterprise it especially com
mends itself to the people of this section of
the country, who are now struggling iu an
effort to do away with old prejudices in favor
of foreign produce, and may we not hope
foreign “Quack Nostrums,” the proprietors
of which, in most cases, are governed by no
thing but mercenary motives, know nothing
of t he properties of Medicinal Agents, ajud
care nothing for our interests, except to en
tice our people into the use of their vile
mixtures.
The Texas Tonic Syrup is packed in cases
of two dozen.
Dealers supplied upon better terms than
any other remedy affords.

STAR SHUTTLE
SEWING MACHINES!
for durability, simplicity and beauty,
stands without a rival. The stitch is alike
on both sides of the fabric sewed, and will
not rip or ravel. The following facts hav
ing been demonstrated, are given as reasons
why the STAR MACHINE should be prefer
red to any other:
1. Their great simplicity.
2. It is impossible for them to get out of
adjustment during proper usage,
3. They are of great capacity, and will
stitch, hem, fell, braid, bind, cord and gather
without basting.
4. They have an adjustable press or foot
to hold the work; and they sew equally well
the lightest and heaviest fabrics.
5. They will sew over the heaviest seams
without changing the tension or breaking the
finest thread.
6. They uso a straight needle—curved ones
are liable to break.
7. Tho needle has a perpendicular motion.
This is absolutely necessary for heavy work.

THE STAR SHUTTLE is emphatically a
first-class Machine in every respect, and,
what is most of all, it is ottered at a lower
price than any other good machine in the
market. Further particulars furnished on
