At the great mass meeting in Bal tinoto on Thursday niight lion, Rev'eriysJohnson, tho ablest lawyer Jq tihe country,. proved that Grant had ft usurped power as to violate the Constitution, but attributed it to hiA ignorance. The meeting adopted the following ringing resolves : "ResliVed; That we view with ap. prehension and alarm the course and conduct of the0 Prosident of the Uni tod States in the alacrity with which he has assumed rn arbitrary authori ty-nnd the waltonuiess with which lIe has exercised desliotio powers; that the reign of terror' inaugurated inl tiouth Carolina al peals to all that is 16so in statesmanship, dutiful in patri otsin, .humano in Chr itianity, and manly in freemon, to condemn and deplore ; that his invasion of that State is as uniwarranted by necessity and as unjUstified by facts as it is inex eusablo in morals and unauthorized by the Constit ution ; thit .his co1nut iq at variance with thi' duties, trusts, obligat ions of his oflieu, ani is sustain ed by no constiational precedent or public necessity ; t the manner of the Into proclaiation, equally with its matter, diplaysa reckless con tempt of public opinion, the organic law, and popular liberty ; and we dep recate and denounce the act as unwor thy of a patriot and revolutionary in a President. "Resoled, That the principles a sailed by the outrage upon South Carolina constitutes the vitals, the life-spring of republican institutions that a wound inflicted upon them through the most distant State or humblest citizen iN a death blow at our whole political faI rio, and that their prompt re:.scrtion and vigorous vinudication is the first grave and solenm duty of the American people.

WV o.1 a- unde'rtand the roasons .which impelled them, even When innocent of all offence to go away ; many of the truest aidJbest young men in the country, have 0bosoen to go away, rather than run the risk of imprisonment. We be bevo that this has been very universe. Most of these young men, we believe, to be entirely innou-m,t of inly 'offence agaiin-t the law, and if they had ro inained, they had ndthi6g to 'fear, except, perhaps, son0 slight irnris. OnUMent, which would have ended just as soon as therQ could have boon-a trial. The wisest thing to do, is, very often to do nothing, and, that is the advice which, if called upon we would give. This storm will soon pass over, things will remain practi cably as they were before. The Ku Klux organization will be crushcd,and for a time there will be danger, that a thirst for revenge, will inpide soum who have been wronged, to sock rodres in violence and retalia tion. S&rne innocent men will suffer, but it is better to run that risk than to break suddenly all old ties and to choose involuntarily expaliation. In the end, if ion are brave and wise, and true to themselves, some good will come from much evil.-Chester WINNSBORO. Wednesday Morning, Nov. 8, 1871. Editoiial CorreNpoidenlaco. ST. Louis, Lssour,, October 27, 1871. Dear News : In my last, I promised to give you in my next some description of Chat tanooga and its surroundings, which, by the by, is no easy tat-k to do. The town in itself is utterly wanting in attractions or interesting features further than being a grand Railroad Cent re, soveral lines of Railway ter iiiu tes i.t this point. An hours ride in a carriage trans. ports a sight-seer to the top of Look. out Mountain, which towers above every other place of prominence with in mnI y miles of Chattanooga. Hav ing renohed the summit, a sight loome up before the eye which baffles any thing like a deserving description, and tivets tie gaze of the beholder us be contemplates the silent gran. d II . I - itl. rtd sacredly his L.A ;,-- , .' - i .W i a it is with sone of the most, thi Illing scenes of the late war. Looking ofi in an easternly di. rection, Mi.-inaIry Ridge Imeets tle vie1W, riidervd faious us a hard-coil te-ted battle ground. Between this point and Chattanooga, lies a large I'ederal Cemetery, beaiutifully laid out, and neatly preserved. Theo 04 prominent part of Look out Mlountain is k nown as "Th'e Sumn mnit ,'' pecul iarly adazipted for an ex terated view of the surrounding coun try, and affording to the observer a ight of the most magnificent land scapeC it has ever been our pleiasure to witness. At the foot of the slope, immediately below "the Sumimit," is the ground upon which WValhall's Brigade was captured during the bat tle of Lookout Mountain, the locality still bearing seine marks of the fight, in the shape of broken timber anid felled trees. Several other localities were pointedl out to us as scenea of sanuguinary struggles during the war, upon all of which we looked with an iinterest mingled with sadness. WVe thought too of the height our losnses had obtained at the time of these bloody engagements for the sue. cess of our eause, and east a few si lent tears upon01 the soil where so nmany precious lives were sacrificed uponi the altar of their country. But I will not trouble you with harrowing reflect ions. In addition to other attractions, we found upon Liookout Mountain several hotels and boarding houses, two churces, andi an Episcopal Institu tion of learing. The hutter in a very flourishing condition, its number of pupils at present being between one hudred and seventy-five and two hundred. As a summer resort, Lookout Moun tein has ani en viable reputation, bot h on account of its pleassut accommunoda tionls andl its delightfully exhilarating elimate. We heard that it was fre -qunted by over iiine hundred visi tors during tihe past season. IWe might write you much more about "old Lookout,'' feeling thait we have failen far short of doing justice to our subject, but time for bids, and we must therefore hasten on. We arrived in St. Louis, Thursday morning at daylight, and are now quartered at the Southern H otel, one of the best of the kind in the whole Western country. Its app~ointmients and accommodations are first class in every respect, and are of a eharacter to please ihe most fastidious. Our jaurney hither from Chatt. 1 nooga was attended witii no ineidents : of imnio. tanc. Nashville arid Louis. ville ay iii our route, but we madeo.ti 'toppage at eithlt , except a %light '46tention at Louisville. We were doidedly better pl0sed generally with Kentucky than with any section of coubtry through which we have passed. Fine cattle of every description were seen grauingin green luxuriouia asturies, fielis 'O fully mia tured corn excited our envy in behalf of poor South Carolina, while the pro. .sr.pivj appearanoe of everything and everybody created in us a long ing fur a removal from the tyrant. rulc country of our nativity. We felt that we were in a country where white men are whii men, and not the the subjects of tlieves und ignorait negroce, and where we might utter the ientimonts of a son of liberty, and not be thrown into a filthy dungeon for asserting the rights of frvouen. For a mnention of St Inuib, you must indulge wue until my next letter. We go next to Cincinatti, and will write you again fromu that point. Until then, VaIC. T. CINcINNArTI, Onto, October 28, 1871. Dear News : We arrived in this the "Queen, City" of the West, this forenoon, about ton o'clock, and are guests ofI the Gibson H ouse, located in Walnut Street, in the heart of the business portion of the place. I am now pre. pared to tell you something of St. Louis, and its suburbs, which, let me add, are not the leant of its attrao tions. Procuring a carriage on Thursdny afternoon, we ditected our driver to give us a sight of everything, that it wits interesting for a stranger to see. Our grand objective point was Shaw's llotannical Gardens, situated four miles from the centru of the city. Af ter a pleasant ride through beautiful avenues, flanked ly the miagiificent residence of the 8&. Louis -bloods," all indicating wealthy and comforta ble homes, and evidetelng a cultivat. ed taste in their structure, we halted in front of one of the m1o1t lovely spots our eyes ever beheld. Thi lateness of the hour forbid a close ex ainination of so attractive a locality, consequently we had to content our 8.sives with only a bird's-eye view, fully .iatihtied, however, that our ad. ih at ion of the place would have been greatly increased by a more xteuded obe vation of it. Evena a slight view tron the utoide convinced us that much silent beauty and grandeur were hidden within its deep recesses, contributing othe f.irylike appear ance of the spat, anl rendering it the umost prominent, at tiact ion of so flour ishing a city. Fronm a bu~siness point of view, St. Liouis has but few equals arnd no su. peI ioria, for a place of' its size. Iland. somie and commodious stoie build ing. meet the eye at every step along itts nesita pav~emaent-, while lie go-ahead style of its people is surely caleulated to leave upon the uainds of strangers most favorable imp:icosions and re mnniseences. Only one thing could we regret, and thait was our coimplete failure to meet any familiar faces in the land of strangers. Without <xpe'riencing tbe feeling, one cannot imagine what it is. to be far away from home amiongst people who aie cntirely unknown to himt. Then is it that thme sight of "home folks" is doubly dear to him, and the woid home rendered more sa ered and precions. St. Louis is destined in a few years to become thme great metrmopolis of the United States. Its siso and popula tion have been wvonderfully increased during the past few years, and comi merceial reputation widely extended and established. The number of its inhabitants is at present estimated at live hundred thousaid. Its business ad vanitages, and its liberal encourage ment of enterprisca of all kinds ren der it a most desirable location for those setting sail upon the sea of life. hUt we believe we have said enough of St. Lounis to miake in its biehalf a fa vorable immpressionam u pon the tind of ous readers as io its real merits, and therefore will had it adien. This city (Cininson: i) ailso pos- esses many attractioni-, e'..ef .imiongst which we umight, monst ion its beaitiful an berbs. including tlhe pe latial mansian of Ilon. (eo.

A drive thiuegh thaeo two tributaries if Ciniinnati, affords to an observer a sight of some of the most beautiful and elegantly arranged residences that we have over beheld, and we consider thuis as saying a good deal for them, and not, at the same time, arrogating to ourselves a more extended observation than we can rightfully claim. As our time is somewhat lbnaited, we shall say good-bye to this city to. night, and embark for Bahtimar via1 - A A AS -M A Baltirpore and Ohio Railroad. From that;point we shall endeavor to write you *gin, pnd then shortly after shakghands with -you in dear 4ld Winfsboro. T. Sun'vivors' Assoclatlon. The near approach of the August meeting, of the State Asooiato -of the 8:qvivors'; pf ths. Wte,war, ard the " attractiv . progr-amme which It offers, should serve to stir up in the heaa'te of our would people an' iotive sympathy with the objeots it is inten dad to cherish. Apart from the de Bire which every old soldier of the Confederacy and his children would naturally feel in securing a correct history of the stirring times through which we have lately passed, w hile events are aonparutively fresh in the minds of all, this Association com mends itself to public attention on other and equally high grounds. It proposes not only to make aid pre. seivo a true record of the deeds of arms performed by the patiiotic sol. diery of the State in their gallant struggle for independence, and to bring yet nearer heartis already warm ed to enou other by participation in mutual trials and common dangers, but to go futther aid inaugurate a great system of benificence towards the children of our fallen brothers. To honor our dead comrades by rear ing lasting mouuments of granite and marble, in commemorttion of their valor and their virtues, is not enough to iatizfy the heart of iin whose whole soul was in the contest ; but to extend to their fatherluss children the hand of sy mpathy *tad support, and to open to them opportuities of educii tion aid advuncement, are eurely the neans best calculated to do honor to the memory of our dead. To u-, their comiradea in the field und in the eoip, and to the tr. ae people of the State, are these helpless onies left as special wards. Should ve now 131ive then helpless and friendles-deprived of the advantagcs which would m;ke then emulate the virtues of their sires, we would be faitlleis to our high trust. Let us all, then, as ..

It roots deeply and endures both the frigidity ofC Winter and tho dr.>ught of Sumnmer, satfely without protection, if planted upon a clay soil neither very rioh nor very poor. It is a perpetual bearer where warmth can be procured in WVinter and moisture in Summer. The vines are full of yiung fruit at the present time. Without extra attention it produe s profusel~y from the middle of Mareba t. the middle of July. Its flavor is very fine and makes it one of the mnost delicious fruits of this or any othaer clime. Autumn is the proper seasont for t ransplanting ; but w ith eare the plants may be removed with success any time during the Winter cr Spring. I have known them to be remioved in the Spring loaded with fruit, and the fruit continued to grow and ripen. The plats should be put eighteen inohes apart, and if not suf fered to run during the Piummier they will Corni a largo rotund bush.I have found it, best to keep down the weeds and grass frot them. A thin covering of straw in the early part of Winter adds much to the health and vigor of the plants. This covering should remain on the beds, for it pro, t et the berries from the sand( and re' tains miiture for the planrht (du, it g Summer.

In dustry has been generally well reward ed ; we are at peace with all nations, and tranquility, with few exceptions, prevails at home. Within the past year we have in the main bon free from ills which elsewhere afflicted our kind. If some of us have calamities, these should be an occasion for sym pathy with' the sufferers, with resigna tion on their part to the will of the bloat High, and of rejoicing to the many who hav been fiavored. I therefore recommend that on Thurs day, the 30th dan of November next, the people niect in their respective places of worship, anid there make the usual annual acknowledgentents to Almighty God for the blessings Ile has conferred upon then, for their merciful exemption from evils, and invoke His piotection and kindness for their less fortunate bioth.en whom, in his widom, Ile has deemed it best to chastise.
