The Futuro or our Country.
Tho growth of our country io population
and power is wonderful. Lefofo tho oloso
of this century, if our progress goes on nt
tho ratio of tho past, our numbers will
exceed eighty millions. It is n just source
of pride that we havo not become great by
arts of diplomacy, or by conquests gained
by wars. Tho oaptives wo have taken nre
not thoso of force, but prisoners of peace
drawn to our shores by tho desire to enjoy
with us tho liberties of tho land and tho
plenty which Piovidonoo has given us.
While tho different nations of Europo wntoh
with jealous and hostile cyc9 tho compara
tive progress and power of each-whilo
peuce in thc minds of its statesmen moans
armed neutrality always threatening war
wo havo drawn from thoir population by
beneficent influences moro than thu most
successful in nrms have been able to capture
from thoso into whoso territories they havo
carried death and devastation. Wo have
taken by immigration from Germany greater
numbers than that cmpiro wrested from
Franco in tho last wur between thoso
powers.
Hut at this time, whon so many facts
tend to fill our hearts with pi ido and grati
tude, wc are perplexed hy tho general do
pression of business, and thc distress ot
largo olassos of our citizens. Wo now feel
the full cost of thc late civil war, and tho
force of the reaction which springs from
wild speculation. Our desire for wealth
has outstripped tho swift growth of our
country, and n greed for gain has tempted
us to disrogard tho laws of prudence, in
dustry and coonomy, and to grasp nt wealth
by schemes which in the o nd have plunged
ns into many public nnd private disasters.
Wc lind that habits of extrnvnganoo aro
more easily acquired than oast off. Wo are
not yet rendy to admit tho truth that wo
havo brought these ovils upon ourselves,
and that wo must go back to tho tried path
way by which our country readied its grout
ness. This stato of affairs gives birth to
wild and conflicting schemes about financ?e),
social order, nod tho policies of govern
ment. Thoso discordant theories range
from tho doctrines of tho communists, who
would overturn our social struotures, to
thoso of tho timid, half hearted bolicvors in
our government who wish to go book to
restraints and powers exerted by tho mon
ardis of Europe. Many four that grave
evils will grow out of thoso conflicts of
opinion. But those who havo studied with
caro tho principios nnd workings of our
political institutions look upon them as
sources of good rather than evil. Thoy feel
that our system is not only moro conserva
ti vc than all others, but that it has loss to
foar from wild theories or from party pas
sions.
Distress always makes discontent, and
men who ore in trouble turn with intorost
and hope to ovory proposed remedy. It is
our duty io troat thoir viows with respoot,
for whilo thoir theories may bo false, thoir
sufferings oro roal. It ia well that wo oro
taught by populur agitation tho oxistonoo of
evils. It is nooessary for thoso who havo
charge of public a ifni rs to learn what mon
have io thoir minds, what viows thoy hold,
nt what ends thoy ni m. Wo cnn gain many
truths from thoso who may hold mis
taken opinions. Ono of tho advantages
wo enjoy under our form of govorumont
is, that wo oan let falso notions ourc
themselves. It is not necessary for tho pub
Ho safety to restrain freedom of speech.
It is a striking foot that, whilo tho mon
archs of Germany and Russia, willi vast
armies under their control, aro disturbed
and ondangorod by tho theories of socialists
or other revolutionary nssooiations, wo liston
to thom without foar. Wo allow tho utmost
froodom of spoooh, and wo roly upon tho
good sonso of our people to mako harmless
all appeals to prejudice. Elsewhere tho
violent passions or insano egotism of a theo
rist may lead him to shoot a mouarob and
to shake a Stato. lloro ho oan ooly indulgo
iu violout doolamation, whioh inay attract a
passing notioo, and thou ho sinks Into
hopeless obscurity. In ICuropo his teach
ings are deemed dangerous to social order.
Hore thoy sorvo only to satisfy tho public
of tho folly of his views, and to strengthen
the public faith in thc vnluo of sooial order
oud cf time-tested truths. On tho whole,
such mon oro useful to us. Their vanity
dios out whoro no ouo oarcs for their opin .
ion. Without tho aid of porsooution they
Bink into pitiablo helplessness. Aftor a
timo tho truth gets through their addled
bruins that their spooohes oud writings only
help tho sooial system whioh they seek to
overthrow. 'Most of thom becomes indus
trious citizens, gain somo proporty, and
abhor tho idea of shoring it with loss fortu
nate or moro idle associates. Tho follies of
fanatics frequently tcooh wisdom bettor

Central New York.
That poople tnuoh older and much more
civilized than thc Amerioan Iudian, onoo
occupied this continent, is a fuot whioh
archaeologists bring overwhelming proofs to
establish. Lacking o?y better mimo for
thoso aborigines, they aro called tho
mound builders, after tho most remarkable
of tho evidenoes of their existence. These
mounds, sometimes of imposing size, and
always of oxtruordinary regularity of form,
exists in grout numbers in tho West. They
aro so numerous that in Ohio alone it is
estimated that not less thnn 10,000, ol
these mounds exist, besidos 1,500 inolosures
of earth and stone-all beyond question the
work of tho somo poople. In those mounds
nnd enclosures arc found pipes, domestic
implements, weapons of war, and various
metallic and terra cotta works whioh provo
beyond question a degrco of civilization
such anthe American* Iudian, if be cvei
possessed it, could never have so completely
lost os to sink to tho condition in whioh he
was found when tho European first entered
thc continent. Whether tho mound build
ors were tho forerunners of thc Azteos o
Mexico; whether thoy came first from Soutl
or Central America, or wcro driven thence
whothor they were sprung from tho Phooni
cian navigators; or whether they sorvo t<
supply thc missing link needed to cornice
the fabulous island of Atlantis with th(
realities of profano history-ore conjec
tures about which tho antiquarians will
doubtless never ocaso to quarrel. Whocvoi
thc vanished people was, it has nevor beor
supposed until roocntly that it had an oxis
tence in tho Atlantic States. Plonty o
rclios hnvo boen dug up Wost of tho Alle
ghanics, but in New York our most ancien
findings have rclutod to tho carly occuponoj
of tho Iroquois.
Tho historian, Wm. L. Stone, now
advances tho belief, in tho Magazine o
Amerioan History, that this mystorioui
race once occupied certain portions of Cen
tral and Eastern Now York. Ho lou tub
this belief upon sundry pines, copper ar.ii
bronze spear hoads and spears, whioh havt
been found within tho last yoar or two noai
Seneca Falls and Saratoga Springs. Tin
terra cotta pipe is wrought with tho Egyp
tian or sphinx like oast of foaturcs, st
ditTcront from any of tho rough oarthci
work of tho Amerioan Indian, but not a
all unlike tho discoveries made in some O!
tho Ohio mounds. Tho spear aud spca
hoods aro identical in aiao and shape witl
tho copper implements discovered in tin
abandoned galleries of thc ancient coppo
mines of La ko Superior, ond then
oan be no question of their prehistory
character.
When did tho makers and users of thcs<
implements cl -voil ia tho valloy aud on tin

other tribes of Indians on the oontinont
The researches of tho most careful histor!
ans, as well as tho traditions of tho Indian
themselves, givo only 500 years os tlx
extr?me limit of thc time when tho Indian
first migrated into those parts of Nortl
Amorioa whero thoy woro found at th
time of tho European disoovory. It i
ovidont that thoy oame long after thci
predecessors had deserted this country; fo
otherwise tho Indians would havo oaugh
and perpetuated sumo of tho arts by whiol
tho mound buildors oasod or enlivonod th
burden of lifo. Herc is a great hiatus ii
tho history of tho continent, upon whiol
dieoovories like those narrated by Mr. Ston
throw 0 glimmer of light, just enough t
reveal tho iniponotrablo darkuesa that on
shrouds tho period.
Mr. Stono announoes himself a oonvcr
to tho theory of tho Kronch nrohceolo
gist, Hourbourg-a theory that oonnoot
tho old American civilization with th
tabled islund of Atlantis. This thcor
supposes tho oontinont to havo onoo ex
tondod in an irregular poninsulu over who
is now tho Atlantic Ocean to and inoludin
tho Canary, Madeira, and Westorn Islandi
whioh aro supposed to bo tho remnants <
tho oontinont left ofter somo torriblo oor
vulsion of naturo. Classioal writers, bi
ginning with Plato, havo many allusions t
an Uland greator than tho African cont
nant, known ns Atlantis, gifted with
groator civilization than that whioh Egyj
thon know, rulod by mighty kings, an
filially uah merged in the oooan. Th
theory supposes that tho beginnings of
civilization woro on this continent, and that
the East learned from tho West
instead of tho West from tho
East. There aro somo peculiarities of lund
and ocean formation which havo latterly
lcd to a revival of this theory of Atlantis,
and made for it strong advocates. For
ourselves, wo aro willing enough to accept
it whenover science shall como to tho aid of
conjecture and givo it a single solid* leg to
stand on.- Utica Herald.
What Substituto?
Tho low prico of ootton tho present season
hos quito discouraged our farmors and with
thom it is now a dobatablo question, "what
is tho most profitable substitute?" lt is a
oonccded point that they oaonot profitably
raise tho staplo ot 8 cents por pound. Tho
oust of planting, fertilizing, cultivating,
gathering, ginning and packing, consumes
moro than they can roalizo ot tho prcsont
prices. Such being tho case, they naturally
turn thoir attention to the oultivatiou of a
substitute, and the question now is what
shall this substitute bo? This is not so
easily onsworod ns asked. Every farmer
wishes light upon this question nud but few
seem inclined to attempt its solution by
experiment. Information from actual
oxperienoo upon this subject, exists with
but few in this oounty, as a divorsity io
cropping has been so littlo practiced with
us. However, we foci oon?dont that in tho
county tlioro oro furraora who have given
time and attention to tho cultivation of
voried orops and who aro now nblo to give
to tho balonoo of tho oounty valuable sug
gestions upon thoso particular orops which
may havo engaged thoir nttcution, and that
light may be thrown upon this subjcot, wo
suggest to thoso who may have acquired
information upon tho cultivation of suoh
orops as aro not goneral in tho oounty that
they givo through the columns of our paper
to tho other farmors of tho couuty suoh
practical and valuable information as thoy
may have acquired by actual expericnoo aud
observation.
Oue disadvantage that our farmers geno
rally labor under is tho pruotioo of depend
ing almost ontiroly on our homo market for
thc sale and consumption of nil tho producta
of their labor, when by propor inquiry and
onterpriso thoy could easily nsoortain tho
best methods of shipments and tho points
to which they oould send their various orops
to advantage. Wo feel confident that rice
oould bc raised at a profit upon our uplands
and wo have Charleston as a mnrkot for tho
disposal of all our surplus. Tho different
root orops among others oould be shipped
to Northorn markets and sold at profitable
ligures. These suggestions spring to os
from tho knowledge that other sections of
tho oounty aro prosperous from tho cultiva
lion of varied orops, and wo feol suro that
wc likewise may becomo equally so if we
curtail tho cultivation of tho cotton crop
and devoto moro "Uontion to others. So
long as ootton is a non-nnying orop will you
continue its oultivation'f

Tho Elective Franchise,
Tho following speoial dispatch to tho
Bu I ti moro Snn should meet with serious
consideration from colored votors, nod it
will be well for them, if they promptly
recognized tho fact, that only through the
efforts of tho Domooraoy of tho South
will they bc scoured in tho permanent right
of euffrago:
"WASHINGTON, October 30.-Publicity
has ulrcady beon given to tho suggestion
that some day in tho not remoto futuro thc
Republican party would bo disposed to take
tho elective franchise from tho eolorod
people. Honest Republicans in Congress
or out of it, nover mudo any scorot of tho faot
that tho real objeot of tho . party ia
conferring uogro suffrago was to strengthen
and perpetuate its hold upon tho govern
ment Ln this tho Republicans havo bcon
wofully disappointed. Tho practical result
of their efforts has boon to givo to thoir
opponents thirty-five addititional votes in
tho oleotoral colleges and in tho House of
Representativos. Tho deliberate manufac
ture of wholesale calumnies upon thc South
in this and in former oampagns cannot make
a solid North, although it has beon carried
on in that hope. Tho next move, thorc
foro, of tho discomfited Republicans will bo
to tako away tho boon which thoy conforrod
upon tho negro. Ry advices roceivod hero
to-day from South Carolina, it is loomed
that Gov. Hampton, in a late specoh, pro
claimed that ho had been approached by
prominent Republicans, among them a
brother in-law of a Cabinet officer, with
propositions to Uoprivo tho negro of his
vote Suoh propositions woro of ooursc
indignantly rejootcd by Oovornor Hampton.
If Gov. Hampton consistently can do so, ho
ought to givo tho names of these Republi
cans to tho public.

Don't bo discouraged if, in tho outset of

A FORGOTTEN PARAGRAPH.-Yostorday
afternoon a boy about twelve yea ra of age
called nt tho post offioo and desired to seouro
a lotter whioh his mother hod posted, an
hour beforo. Ho described the envclopo
and direction, but it had already been sent
away in a bag. The lad seemed so anxious
about the missivo that the dork finally
asked him if it was a matter of life and
death. ? ,
"That's exactly what it is," roplied tho
boy as ho turned a shade paler, "you seo,
ma writ to her sister and forgot to put
down: *1\ S.-Wo oro all well;' so my
aunt won't know but what half of tho
family are dcrd, and tho other half dying!"
"I can write that on a postal and send
it along after tho letter," suggosted the
derk.
"I guess you'd better," replied the boy,
as ho tendered a penny, " 'cause as long as
wo ain't dead there's no uso in worrying my
