WARM Srmcs, N. C., August, 1869.
To the student of Nature, acd to persons of
fervid imagination, this part of thoworld presents
a rare field for investigation. The French Broad
winds around flinty cliffs amid mountain fastnes
ses, and frets and chafe* from rock to rock, until
the eye of the tourist actually cloys witU-ftoao
" fancy exhibitions of ?alura." -bw river f.^Vj*
only reveals an endless variety of scenery, but its
banks-are dotted with springs that rival the fa
bled fountain of perpetual youth. 1 had long
desired to visit the Print Hocks and the Chimney
Kock. Not in the least disappointed; I viewed
th c?e frowning precipices with pleasing emotions.
"Grand, gloo.my, and ? peculiar," these far
famed "Rocks" hang orer thc highway like tho
outer-wall of some giants' gloomy castlo. Whilst
looking up at these embattled heights, the talcs
of romance ?eeui to be realized, sud tho mind is
suddeuly carried away " throngb vast of new end
sweet imaginings." But what crashing sound
comos from across the inadlj-plunging river to.
br?.ak this exquisite reverie? It is the Railroad
operatives felling trees to open up a track for the
iron horse whoso shrill neighing will soon echo
against these crags of everlasting granito.

you have a bill of fare that kings might envy. A
jolly merchant from Knoxville -einarked, in
my bearing, that "any man who. would find
fault with this substantial repast-you may bo
certain-he bas nothing to oat at houit!" I like
to sec our country and ber remain i iq institutions

The cars are running from Morristown, on the

Arrived at Daugett's Gap, the prospect is inde
Foribably grand and beautlfal. Such a grouping

ggT" lt is not a pretty, story, nor of j
good augury for the future of oitr par
ticular " friend and ally," Russia, which
comes to us concerning the .Cesarewitcn
and a German officer of his Imperial
Highness staff. The Prince, in discus
sing a financial proposition, permitted
bims.elf to say": '
" When one deals with Germans one
is sure to be cheated." - The officer, Col.
Hunius, a German by birth-, quietly re
plied, " If your Highness means that
observation to apply to me, I must beg
you to withdraw it as it is both offensive
and unjus.t." /J?o this the Prince made
answer by slapping the Colonel's face.
So gross an insult could neither be
avenged upon the heir to the throne,
nor endured by an honorable, man. The
Colonel, after stating the facts to thc
Emperor, sat down and wrote the Grand
Duke:
II Your Imperial Highness has offered
me a mortal insult. . When you read
this letter I shall have ceased Aire;"
and having written this, he deliberate
ly blew out his brains.
" It is only just to the Emperor, Alex
ander II, to say that he was profoundly
shocked by this sad ^flfaif. He gave
orders that the Colonel bo burled With
the greatest pomp, and the Grand Duke
having attempted to prevent these or
ders from being executed, the Emperor
further commanded his brutal son to
attend in person the funeral of his vic
tim.
fi?T Trenton is ona broad grin over
a hu^e JOK? which has unintentionally,
we presume, been perpetrated upon some
of its highly respectable citizens. ij
enterprising colored man devised a peti
tion addrebssd to the Common Council
of that city, asking for-an enlamemeut
of the school house for colored children.
It occurred to him that the signatures
of certain white folks might be pervice
able,.ffnd applied for and obtained the
j names of a large number.' Just where
' the laijgli comes ir. is, the petition com
t mcness; " W? Ike parent* qi colored
children ! '
HST It is not at. all improbable that
, the French Erap?ror may hvo and reign
ill,his son a?t.ains his majority, Tho
ce.ImperiU is now in the fourteenth
f* his afls, while Napeleon is in
-seco? year.
Hold on to Tour Lauds.
We continue to press this all-impor
tant duty home to our land-owners.
Never let your lands pass from your
hands without you well know you are
selling to a friend of the South, and.of
thc white men of tlie South. Besides,
.lands are advancing rapidly in pri?e,
and to hold them is simply the host in
vestment you can possibly make._ No
doubt hundreds *f v--~~
-v-?w iiisau, and -hold on tn your
Lands.
Below we copy from a Richmond pa
per an interesting article on this sub
ject, which we hope will be attentively
read by land-owners :
We sometimes fear, and we have rea
son to fear, that the scheme of the men
now uppermost in the counsels of the
North .is so to clog Southern industry
with such impediments and drawbacks
as to discourage and disgust those en
gaged in it, and induce them to throw
their lands into market. The glut of
lands would be so great ns to reduce
the pr ce to a standard that would ena
ble .Northerners-to pick and choose, and
purchase, up the desirable estates in
every locality. The millions of unem
ployed capital at the North could find
no moro profitable investment. . The
investment of. paper money in cotton
lands would "be almost tantamount to
its conversion into cotton, the equiva
lent of gold, and without any loss of
discount." Such a scheme, pertinacious-.'
ly adhered to, might result, inthecoursej
of a few short years, in an entire change
in the proprietorship of the soil. The
whole soil would be transferred to North
ern hands, and cultivated by the negrq
laborers now resident on it, who would
be hired by the new owners at a scale
of prices regulated by no competition,
and adjusted at the option of the new
owners. These new proprietors, thus
Colonizing the South, would have all
the-aid that friendlv Congressional Tc-.^.
i
j
i
limn Remit?:
here, and the deputies of those remain'
ing at home, would be chosen the Fed
eral officers for the. several States
che Judges, Attorneys, . Marshals,
Clerks, Collectors of the Revenue. Post
masters, ?cc. A part of the scheme
would boto confer suffrage . upon, thc
negroes, and then thc Northern settler?
ana negroes, combining with the so
called Union men of the South, woulc
aspire to control the States in their iu
ternal domestic policy. In process ol
time, they would out vote the Sou then:
whites, fill the State offices with their
own men and make all the laws to sui:
themselves. Owning the soil, havirg
the labor of the negroes., faypredbya
sympathizing Government in every re
spect, they would reap and enjoy all
the immense ^profits of the cotton, to
bacco, sugar, rice, corn and wheat crop.
In the meantime what would become of
thc Southern whites after parting wiih
their lands? In numerous instances
they would be cheated out of the pur
chase money. When honestly paid,.it
would perhaps be invested in stock tlat
would become valueless-some fancy
stock gotten np for the occasion by
shrewd New Englanders. If well in
vested, in nine cases out cf ten the in
terest would be inadequate as a suppoit.
The principal would' haye to be en
croached upon, untif interest, principil
and all would be consumed. Then
would bo presented the melancholy
spectacle of almost a nation without lands
without money, without employment.
Would they come down to manual la
bor ? If so they would have to work
side by .side with the negroes, and on
the soil they once qwflcd, for the'^ew
England proprietors and task-masters,
If they did not work, they and their
families vp ul 4 haye, to" starye. Souie
few might be abjs to ^migrate IQ ftjexi
co, Brazil, Venezuela, but nine out of
ten would not have the means to remore
their families. A people thus hemmed
in, thus pauperised, thus driven to des
peration, would have but one resource
-revolution. If successful, this might
?nabje them \q f'?cpysr. their lands and
their lost position'. An earthquake,
the forked lightning, an avalanche, are'
not more to he dreaded than a brave
race thus driven to the extremity of
despair. -It matters not that they
wquk} bo ultimately subdued ; that con
sid?ration would' not perhaps deter
thom. Their first rush would be upon
the occupants of the lands'upon which
they and their children were born and
reared, and it'would1 be like the rush of
hungry tigers upon their prey.
In every aspect in which it can be
viewed, a stringent, cruel, repressive
policy towards t?ie Southern people is
dreadful to contemplate. Although we
see no symptom of relenting on the
part of the Radicals, we cannot alto
gether repress the hope that a merciful
God will change the hearts of those
?rjgj pursue us with such inhuman ma
lignity! If, however, t?iey shall con
tiriUD to liarafiB ntid p?rtenle us, i?t pe
bear it as well as wo may-let us draw
togethor among ourselves, hold' aloof
from strangers, devoto ourselves to such
pursuits as may be still open to us, and
resolve under no circumstances, to -part
witlrW falrf* to persons not hnoivn to
lc friends. Let ns determine tp1
any cross, submit tP any'iifccinvern
incident tP their present cultiyj1
and hold thom m?. deaill 4epm
of them/and imposa the same con
in our wills upon Ali?se to ;whom they
. shall descend. When the lands of the
! Southern peophg are alienated, the
Southern race wal, in a few short years,
become extinct'. They will'not'even
have the privilege extended^to the an-1
cientJews, of being scattered among the
nations of the earth.
We do not imagine that any Ccugress.
could be guilty pf the great iniquity'pf
robbing us of imr lancls. For a direct
robbery no defence could beunade. But
* sometimes think that ?"the. ^Radical
-^iMn'fes as. jUi^exp?dient
and ?eraar-__.
never part with them, this is a sacred
duty which we owe to posterity.
Dard Money for the People.
The time is arriving when the people
of this country will be in position to
dscidc, irrespective of other political
questions, upon a matter nearer to their
individual and the national welfare t han
all the rest. The point is whether spe
cie payment shall be resumed and
gold . and silver coin of the United
States be substituted in place of the
present depreciated greenbacks and pos
tal currency.
The living issues which divide the
two' great existing parties are chiefly
financial and economical. The former
adherents of the Republican party, who
joined and clung to it in order to ena
ble it to carry out the special purposes
for which it was organized, are now left
free to consider whether it has a policy

?Parties arise, from time to time, in "all
countries, for the fulfillment of' certain
missions. Having succeeded in what
they set out to accomplish, they become
worthless,-their ability to supply the
next prevailing waut proves equal to
their special aptitude for the previous
work. When it becomes evident to the

eratic party is the party of the present

publican party was to enforce the abo
lition of slavery through war. This it
has accomplished. The mission of the
Democratic party is to enforce equal
rights for all men and a hard-mo ;ey
currency foi the people ! This it has
not yet accomplished ; the great work
is still before it. The Republican party
came into power, and flooded the coun
try with a depreciated paper currency,
which thrust gold and silver rapidly
out of circulation, -and made them arti
cles of speculative merchandize. . ^he
plain and convincing record, printed
elsewhere in our columns this morning,
proves that thc Democratic party, in
and out of power, has consist mtly up
held a metallic circulating medium, and
fought with its.might against what Kir.
Madison called that " ghost of money,"
a paper promise to pay. The citations
made from messages, and speeches of
Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Van Buren,
Polk, Bentou, Pierce, Buchanan, Silas
Wright, Seymour, and others in thc line
of Democratic statesmen, leavv no doubt
of the faith lui persistence with which
the groat ]Sf}(]ers ?? this party have con
tended for an equitable currency for all
classes of citizens.
" If the people," said Mr. Silas Wright,
" support and elect those men who are
in favor of an unsound currency, they
must expect to suffer the evils of de
preciated paper." The people who sup
ported the Republican party-depreci
ated greenbacks and all-at a time
when they held everything else subor
dinate to/the successes which that party
lias achieved, are called upon tq rpjlo.ct.
If the people now want a sound curren
cy, the power to secure it is in their

have over the matter is through their
respective "legislatures, State and na

in favor of a sound currency, there
must and will be a souiid currency, be

The only party which will it, and
has willed it from the first, is the Dem
ocratic party. The Republican parly
has willed just the contrary ; so that
the people, *'ho have got all through
the war and the moral questions per
taining tp thp wfir, haye simply to choose
whether they will vote with the party
which has actively in hand this present
practical interest of theirs, or with the
party which has ignored and trampled
upon it until it stultifies itself by pre
tending to ha ve any regard for it at all.

The Radical scallawags and carpet

some political scheme which they are
attempting to make use of to inflame
thc negroes. At Newberry, in that
State, a few days since, a depraved
wretch of the carpet-bag order made a
speech to the negroes in which he ad
vised them to refuse to engage them
selves at any price to any one known to
be a .Democrat, and that by that means
the Democrats would not be able to cul
tivate their lands-they .would liave to
be sold for taxes, and then would fall

FRED. DOUGLASS, JR., THE SON-INT
LAW OF THE PROFESSOR !-The journals
of the country are circulating the an
nouncement of the marriage of Doug
lass, Jr., the nigger, to " the accomplish
ed daughter of Professor A. Moly
nediix Heatt, of Harvard University."
This sounds well, and carries the idea
that the Professor is a white man.
Molyncaux-for he is not known . as
Heatt-is a nigger who was at one
time loafing about the English manu
facturing towns as a prize fighter ; but
Jow as are the English bruisers, we be
lieve a white man and the nigger never
made up a prize match. He was, how
ever, picked up by some Harvard genius
and brought over to give the students
lessons in boxing, and his " professor
ship" simply embraces the artof punch
ing the heads of the collegians during
their term of study. Mrs. Fred. Doug
lass, Jr., is the daughter of this nigger
prize fighter, wlio is in the pay of the
Harvard boys, to teach them the use
of the gloves, a sort of Professor of black
eves and bloody noses.-Day Book.
MURDER.-From passengers arriving
in this cityjast evening, we leard that
a white man named Griffin was kilted
at his place of business at Whitaker's
Turn Out, on the Wilmington and Wel
don Railroad, yesterday morning. ' It
wou]d seem that a party of four ne
groes, acting under authority of a war
rant issued by another negro, who claim
ed to oe a magistrate, attempted to ar
rest Mr. Qriffin, who, refusing to ac
];nowlp?lg? tho validity of the warrant,
was shot dead by thew in his own store.
The negroes then took to the woods,

arrested.-Wilmington Journal.
What it Costs*
The Lancaster Ledger states that it
took the sum of $1446 to nay off the as
sessors pf Lancaster County. It is esti
mated that the work occupied the as
sessors 482 days at a cost of $3 a day.
Under the* old State Government
it cost about $600 to assess and collect
the taxes of the county. Now it will

For County Assessors., $1446

We presume that the same condition
of things exists in every county in'the
State. The cost of our local adminis
tration is trebled and quadrupled ; we
are overrun by officials of ail sorts and
riizos ; all that the Radicals maylHl their
pockets and.grow fat.
. The Radicals are, in truth, as much
the enemies of the frugal working man
as they are the enemies of decency and
good order. Take Congressman Bowen

where is the respectable white man who

Even when the Constitution of the UnV-(
ted States was adopted, and when the
great slave States, like Virginia, were
anxious to stop the traffic, it. was de-'
feated by the criminal greed and ava
rice of New England, whose ships were
engaged in bringing them here, united
to the supposed interests of the new
Southern States, like South Carolina
and Georgia, which demanded cheap
labor to- develop their resources. ? The
traffic, therefore, had a further lease of
twenty, years, an interval which was
most industriously improved.
To the presence of these antagonistic
races upon the same soil we owe all the
horrors and calamities of the late civil
war. With that frightful lesson so re
cently before us, it might be supposed
that we would not be inclined to encour
age the immigration, of another for
eign race as incapable of mingling with
Visas the negro. But, even although
j'ools are said to learn by experience,
there are many people in the United
States who do not. They encourage
the. Chinese emigration to the Pacific
coast; which, in the way it is carried
on, is but-little, if any, better than the
African slave trade. They favor it
upon the same ground* ; that it will
reduce the price of labor-reduce that
which already is not half as well remu
nerated as it ought to be for the inter
ests of society. The four hundred' mil

How will European civilisation on the

' A Sad Circumstance.
There is some little tali; about a cir
cumstance, which happened the other
day to au exalted Washington official.
It "seems to be my duty to record it. ?
will call the sulferer General George.
Behling, for the sake of convenience.
Ho is said to be a righi good man, but
was always liberal in his views and a
very sociable sort of person. He used
to go about a good deal, and among
other places he used to go up to So
crates, on the Hudson River Railroad,
every now and then, au J stav all night
at a hotel fc?pj by Mr. and Mrs. Wa?
ue'r. In due time he fell in love with,
a refined and cultivated: young lady in
Brooklyn, and immediately put himself
upon his very best behavior. In the
course of six months she married him,
and gave it as her opinion that she was.
marrying perfection itself. The young
couple w;ere very happy. They began
to.frisk around'an4 enjoy the honey
moon- Presently they ran up to Socrates
and camped at Mr. Wagner's hotel. In
the evening" George was sitting on a
sofa in the parlor, with his arm around
his bride's shoulders, when Mrs. Wag
ner entered. She struck an attitude.
She began lo get angry in a minute.
Then she ?aid : " Look here, my fine
fellow, I've nacl aa much of this as I'm
.going to stand.- There you are down
on that register as 'General George

judgment-, lae time has not yet come for
us of the South to discard our Demo

not come in the future. For the present,
let us of the South pr .'servo our unity,
remain true to our convictions, watch,
labor- and wait. So far, at least, as the
Democracy of South Carolina is con
cerned, we feel assured that it. will res
olutely close its ears to the blandish
ments of the conservative Republican
movement, and, avoid'ng this entang
ling alliance, will hold itself aloof from
the premature endorsement of an u^fc
veloped and immature party movement,
wh .?se. tactics have yet to pass the ordeal
of an ampler examination and a keener
criticism than it has yet been possible to
give to them. ? In politics, as in war, to
make a blunder is almost to commit a
crime.
The Davenport (Iowa) Democrat tells
of a. singular caso of superstition:
"Chatting with an aged lady, we noticed
the wonderful preservation ^and beauty
of her teeth, and could not refrain from
mentioning it. ' Yes,' saidshe, ' I never
laad a toothache or lost a tooth, because
I bit the snake.' On inquiry, she stated
that when children at home, her father
had made them bite a rattlesnakeT he
holding the reptile by the head and
tail; each child bit iilong the entire,
length of the backbone, not violently,
but just so as to indent the skin ; and
this was considered an infallible recipe
against toothache and decay, and which
the old lady believes up lo thc present
hour."
