The importance af the great political con? test opon which we havo now fairly entered rendara the dissemination among the people of sound political views and accurate and ear? ly Information of the progresa and incidents of the canvass, a matter of peculiar interest and expediency. Every individual who baa any stake in the welfare of these Southern States, should give an active, personal and un? flagging support to the candidates of tho ?National Democracy-SEYMOUR and BLAIR, A triumph of the Radicals will result in the utter desolation .-and nun of the South, and tho placing of an ignorant and brutal race in all positions and places of honor and trust, to the exclusion of the white race. The govern? ment must be wrested from the thieves and plunderers who now have control of it, and power placed in the bands of a party pledged to give peace to a distracted country, and to make it a government for white men, and not for negroes.

PARAGUAYAN WAR-DEFEATS OE nric AT.rrrrg AT | H1IMATTA. BIO JANEIRO, Joly 31, via LONDON, August 20_The attack on the Paraguayan fortress Hrrrnalta, news of which has been daily ex? pected for a fortnight past, took plaoeon the 16th of July. In the morning the combined Brazilian and' Argentine forces, under com? mand of Marquis de- Capias, advanced to the assault in three columns, amounting in tho aggregrate to 10,000 men. At the. same time a heavy fire was opened upon the fortifications from the fleet of iron-dads and land batteries. After desperate and prolonged fighting at the- foot of the entrenchments, the allied colnrnnfl retired, without effecting a lodgment within the en amy's works. The loes of the allies is reported at three thousand, killed and wounded. Nothing is known of. the losses. of the Paraguay? ans, but as they fought ander cover of their entrenchments, it is supposed the number of their killed and wounded will tall far behind that of tho allies. The allied force in Gran ohaoo also advanced, with the object of cut? ting, off the communications of Lopez. They found them protected by a large body af Para? guayans, protected by breastworks. Atter an | obstinate engagement the allies withdrew to their former position. The casualties are not stated. The hopes of the war party in Brazil rested opon the success of this enterprise, and its failure will give great impetus to the peace movement. 1NTEKH ATTONA!, CHICEST MATCH.

Union, of 18th inst., gives a detailed, account of two tragical events of recent occurrence in that State, which have .heretofore been briefly noticed in telegraphic dispatches, and which it waa unfairly attempt? ed to give a political aspect to, omitting the provocation, especially in the first case. The Union says : Some six weeks since, a yoong girl of respect? able family in Williamson County, Damed EzeU, was assaulted and ravished by a negro. He was pursued, arrested and lodged in jail. The brother cf the giri, stung with rage and shame at the brutal outrage on his sister, ? sse m bled his friends and forcibly seized him from the law, and avenged her wrongs in the blood of her assailant. A short, while afterwards, a party of negroes, in company with some whites, , waylaid young Ezeli and killed him. Evidence beyond all 'doubt having been obtained that one Bearfield, a white man, residing in Frank? lin, had instigated, hired, and perhaps partici Sted in the murder of Ezeli, a party of his ends, some nuder mask and others without disguise, entered the tonn on Saturday night hut, and in torn killed Bearfield. In tho me? lee, a negro employed by Bearfield, but not known to nave been implicated in the assassi? nation of Ezeli, was accidentally shot and killed. This, in brief, is the Franklin affair. : The Waynesboro' affray ie thus told on re? liable authority : A body of negroes, at an iron furnace in that region, had for some time been openly drilling with arms, and threatening the peace of the community. A. company of citi? zens assembled and went to the furnace for the parp?se of remonstrating with the negroes against their course, and, if necessary, to dis? perse them in order to avert the execution of their threats. They found that tatter counsels bad previously prevailed, and nlgafctuxbance occurred. On their return, the S?fBjP, with s posse, intercepted them, au altercation en? sued, the Sheriff firing on the citizens. They pursued and received a volley from his posee, killing three or four and wounding as many. Rumors of the affair had spread all over the country, and when the mall carrier left the town was picketed by a large body of resolute men who are determined to take the Sheriff and his posse. While sanguinary calumnies of General For? rest are freely circulated by Radicals, the Memphis Appeal of the 18th gives the follow? ing piece of information: About three days ago a report reaohed Gen. Forrest in this city that a number of bush? whackers, who were known to be deserters from the Confederate army, were engaged in making raids on the colored people of Madison County, with faces blackened and otherwise disguised, calling themselves members of the ?u-?lux-?lan, i.nd ordering all arms, such as pistols and guns, to be delivered into their possession. The General determined to put a stop to the marauding of these gentry, so he called together a few of his old followers in the army, and has dispatched them to Madison, with instructions to arrest the Ku-Kluxea ana hand them over to the civil authorities for punishment. The result of the expedition ls yet unknown.

The following address to the people of Charleston was unanimously adopted at a meeting of citizens, held at the Hibernian Hall, on Friday afternoon last : ADDRESS. The disturbance of the public peace which has marked the proceedings of a portion of the population of this city; the threats and the preparations which are uttered and made, and indicate a fixed-purpose to inaugurate and prosecute acts of violence and wrong; the in? tolerance which bas interupted meetings of citizens peaceably conducted, and forced them to terminate their proceedings; submitting to this indignity and wrong rather than by insist? ing on their rights, furnish an occasion for tu? mult and riot. The insult and defiance to the constabulary force of the city; the interruption of peaceable citizens in their avocations, and ill treatment of them without provocation; the reckless manner in which nightly meetings and processions are conducted to the great annoyance of the people, and the peril of such as may be obliged to be near those who are en? gaged in them; the temper which has thus converted a city, remarkable for its erder and quiet, into a place where noise and violence have become of frequent occurrence; the or? ganization of bodies of mon ia military array, drilling and practicing thom in the arts of war; and the increasing spirit of aggression with which, in all of these respects, the newly en? franchised population of this city and the adja? cent islands have conducted themselves; admon? ish all who have at heart the peace of this com? munity and the welfare of all classes of its popu a ti on that, unless timely averted, the purposes of wicked mea will be accomplished in deadly strife, and in the streets of the city scenes will be enacted which all good men will deeply de? plore. With the solemn conviction that so great a calamity ?B now impending over us with. no. partisan temper, and with no reference to political opinions or parties; intent only, bat deeply intent, upon the protection of per? sons and property; of persons of all classes; of property, to whomsoever belonging; we are forced by convictions we honestly entertain, by apprehensions whioh we cannot disregard, to warn our fellow-citizens of the great danger with which they are threatened. We counsel them most earnestly to the continuance of tbat great forbearance they have hitherto mani? fested. We urge them not to be betrayed into resentment, which, however natural or how much provoked, will be in many quarters un? willingly credited. But we do in the same temper, and consistently with that forbear? ance, and the control of that resentment, advise them of the necessity, the imperative necessi? ty that in our opinion exists, for them to pro? tect themselves, in their persons and their property. The threats of incendiarism and of violence, of rapine and spoliation, are no lon? ger confined to the secret conclave; but are uttered to inflame the passions of a population, unhappily too credulous and too oas?y mis? guided and betrayed. The appeals which have been thus made; appeals which have been made in public presses, and repeated in every manner in which they could most deep? ly excite those to whom they were ad? dressed; have, unhappily for us, and os un? happily for those who are the victims of bad and designing men, produced their unfortu- , nate results. And a population new in the en? joyment of their freedom ; new in the enjoy? ment of the highest privileges of the citizen; nave been fired with a sentiment of hostility to the white population of the city and the State, and taught that their freedom could only be secured by the most degrading vassal? age of the white citizens of the State. We do most honestly and unreservedly declare, that so far as wo have any knowledge or belief, in? terference has never been attempted by the white citizens of this city or State with the fullest exercise by. the freedmen, individually or collectively, of all the rights, civil and politi? cal, which they asserted as belonging to them. They have hsd^Keir meetings, and never with interf?rence ; they have voted, and never with disturbance; they have assembled in conven? tion, passing a constitution for their govern? ment and ours, without interruption; and un-> ' der tbat constitution they are now Bitting as a legislature, framing laws for the people of the I State, removing officers, imposing taxes, and exercising the functions of legislation which involve the property, life and liberty of the citizen; without a show of violence, without almost a complaint on the part of those who are excluded from all participation in proceed? ings which so deeply and intimately affect them. But all of this has not been sufficient to satisfy them that the privileges BO en? joyed by them were complete, unless they included the absolute domination and control of the white population: a domination and control so exclusive and ab? solute that it would embrace person and pro? perty, and even extend to thought and speech. To this condition is the white population of the city now at this time reduced; and in this condition they are forced to see the evidence of a further purpose, to enforce this denial to them of every privilege, and to bold every right which belongs to them subject to the caprice of those who are the dupes and victims of the bad men who have poisoned their hearts; and for the most selfish and base pur? poses, destroyed for them the comfort, con? tentment and happiness they might have enjoyed. We who now speak to you, whom you well know, whose motives you will not misunder? stand, repeat to you the warning of the dan? ger with which you are threatened. There is no organized and reliable force in the State by which you can be protected. The police force of the city is utterly inadequate to secure the peace against such combinations as threaten its continuance. - And until, and unless the President of the United States, as the com? mander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States, has power, under the constitu? tion and laws of the United States, to provide at the present time, in some mode, for your protection, we do not know where it can be found outside of such defence as you can make for yourselves. We need not advise; we aro sure, without ad? vice, that you will in no wise interfere with or disturb the enjoyment of any right or privi? lege which has been given to any person or class of persons. That you will ab3tain from everything which can be perverted into an interference with any meetings called by those who may differ with you in political questions; and that in no wise will you ob? struct or control the free exercise of the right of suffrage. At the same time we will not and do not counsel you to forbear or abstain from the exercise of privileges which belong to you; or the maintenance of your rights to the same; with calmness and wi th 'fir nones e. You have the right to meet-the right to discuss-the right to vote-the right to be secure in your person and your property. These rights none can deny, and none can take them away or im? pair the free exercise and enjoyment of them. Your moderation, combined with calmness and firmness, may happily enable all to escape the danger of strife and collision. God grant that it may be so I But with whatever earnest? ness we cherish the hope, we have no assur? ance that the hope will be realized. It is for others, not for us, to decide the question. Bnt it is for you, in any and every contingency, to be able to show, that you have not been the aggressors; that you have done no wrong; vio? lated no law; outraged no propriety. It is for you, if strife should unhappily come, to be able to show that if you were even willing to purchase the absence of strife by the sacrifice of every sentiment of manhood and citizens hip, even that would not parchase security for life or property. To the end that no effort should be left untried to avert the danger with which we are now threatened, we have request? ed the Hon. James B. Campbell to go to. Wash f?gten, and to represent to the President, to the General of the Army and to-"RS Secretary' of War, the danger which threatens us; and to ob? tain, if it can be had, that protection which will Becure to all classes their just rights; and Bave a community from anarchy and violence. We ask it that law may be maintained, order enforced, pease-secured, and every one of eve? ry class protected in his rights. We ask it, that the great end of civil society may be ac? complished; and tho rights which the Constitu? tion guarantees to each citizen may be peace? fully enjoyed. We have undertaken to address you at thia time, because the occasion does not admit of delay: and because we would not add to the ex? citement which now exists, that whioh might arise from a public meeting called for the con? sideration of this matter. We have no pur? pose but that in which all classes of citizens will deeply sympathize; and to which we hope and believe all good men of all classes will giro their warm support.

Fellow Colored Citizen* of Wilkinson : The time has come when our race must be saved I An election was held in this ch ate to vote on a constitution that was framed by the convention held in Jackson, commencing Jan? uary 7,1868. That constitution was defeated by a large majority. Why ? Because it was tyrannical, overbearing, and ruinous to the State and citizens thereof, The colored vot? ers of this State acted wisely and justly in vot? ing against it. Tne question presents itself to us-wh) framed that constitution? Was it men who had the interest of the ci tizeos of this State at heart ? No I bot men who came from the North as adventurers,' to monopolize the offices and dis treas the peaceable cit zens I God would not suffer such to be done.

Times publishes the following card, written by a freedman, and ad? dressed to the colored people of Mecklenburg : I am one of your number. From a sense of doty I became a Democrat. I wish to appeal to you, not because I wish you to join mv party, but because I see that yon are in danger. Wicked white men-mean white men, that are skinning yon every day, and intend to take the whole hide off-have already made von behove a hundred hes, and they are making yon be? lieve them now. They will get all they can ouL of yon, and then turn yon over to the meroy o' the white people tbnt yon-are now turning your bioks upon. Yon are freemen, indeed, when yon dare not think, or speak, or act, except just as your white Radical masters order yon to do. Yon are obliged to vote lor them, and not even for your own color. They say Conservatives and Democrats want to make ? . slaves again. If they did, these men coi: not, and would not if they could, preven ; if. They did not make yon free, and can't kee > ? on free. Yon just know the respectable white people of the South don't want to make us slaves again, and could not if they wanted to. I was a slave-am now free. I e?peo: to die free; but I want to be respected by the decent white people. Aa it is clear they intend to mle, say what we may, it would be well to make them our friends. The colored people had better take warning in time and show that they have some sense. I write this of my own accord, as of my own accord I joined the Democratic party, and intend to continue in it.

Frank Blair, the Democratic candidate for Yice-President, was recently in Benton as one of the Commissioners of the Pacido Railroad, and was compelled by his admirers there to make a speech. He delivered himself as fol? lows : . I regret I cannot talk to yon an hour or two. [Cries of "Go on. go on."J You don't look much like bondholders [mnob laughter], and were you a little further east 1 know your, votes would tell fearfully against the party of moral ideas and excessive taxes for the poor; a party which, by fa<r means or foul, ie bound to wm in the coming campaign-if it can. [Loud cheer in e.] This Radical corruption must censo. Next fall it will c^ase, and we nope forever. Our mot? to is, Justice to Wnite Men. The Democratic Slattorm adopted by the pan*, has a heady ightened thousands from the cu ward ly ranks of the Radicals, a: d thousands more -will flee. [A voice-"The Democratic flea is too mudj.' for them;" great laughter.] The great masscSv' this mighty republic has no affinity with the negro. [Prolonged applause.] The right of electivo franchise is for the white man alone; and the ruinous system introduced into the Radical porty and platform is opening the eyes of the people to euch an extent that overwhelm? ing majorities will crown our bright, prond banners with such a glorious victory that the huzzas will shake the very earth to its founda? tions. [Immense and enthusiastic applause.] M THE MAN ON HORSEBACK." The last of the "dissolving views" of the New York Herald is the "one-man" on "a charger." That paper says : As the first result of the American election, the people of the United States will have cho? sen a new President for four years. Many thousands of men of a different race, just libe? rated from slavery, wiJ 1 vote, and a further dis? turbance of the constitutional equilibrium must follow the election of either of tne candi? dates now before the people. How will it eventuate ? In a one man power or reunion? The appearances moline to the former. We have entored on a revolutionary era. The coming elections will herald revolutionary changes in both hemispheres. THE DESPERATE PURPOSE OF THE RADICALS OPENLY AVOWED. At a meeting of the Radicals, recently held at Saline, Missouri, one Johnson, candidate for Attorney-General of the State, used the follow? ing language : There could and should be but one result to the election thia fall-that Gen. Grant, backed by the army and supported by the whole Radi? cal party, would prevent with the bayonet tue inauguration of a Democratic administration at Washington, and that the Radical State Government at Jefferson would resist and put down in the same way any attempt to inaugu? rate the Democratic porty into power in this State. This was not Baid under excitement, for dur? ing a speech of two hours, ho repeatedly urged as a reason why Democrats should not vote any but tho Radical ticket, that their votes would else be thrown away; for no matter what the result of the election, thoy (the Radicals) were fully determined that a Democratic ad? ministration should not be established, except through a bloody civil war. RADICAL ANXIETY TO CAREY THE SOUTHER fi ELECTIONS BY FORCE. A Washington telegram to the New York Herald says : The Southern Radicals are still urging the Radical Congressional Committee to issue a call, as agreed on at the last session, deciaing that Congress onght to convene in September. Everybody here undera tanda what this means. The Southern States are going to vote for Sey? mour and Blair. The colored men. deceived by the carpet-bag element, are coming c /er to the support of the Democratic ticket. The object of the Radicals, therefore, is to get Congress to reassemble and pass the bill to distribute arms, to the Southern Governors, with the purpose in view of using them in the elections." As leading Radicals, hie Wash borne, of Illinois, and Boy den, of North Caro? lina, declared in July that the passage of snob a law would inaugurate civil war, it remains to be seen if Senator Horgan and Mr. Scbenck, who are the respective chairmen of the Con? gressional Republican Committees of the Sen? ate and House, will decide that a session in September is necessary. THE SEPTEITBEE SESSION OF COKOBESS NOT NECESSARY. The New York Times (Republican) says : We see no necessity whatever for the session of Congress next month, which a number of prominent Southern Radicals are working for. It is not demanded by the Btate of affairs in the South, by the conduct of President John? son, by any exigency connected .with the Presidential election, or by any necessity of the country. We have no doubt that the War Department will do all that is practicable at the present time for the maintenance of peace and order in Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee, and elsewhere in the South. And, as for the secur? ing of a fair election and the liberty of voting to the freedmen of the Southern States, these are matters that most be provided for by the State authorities. As things now stand, we can see nothing but harm tu the public in? terests from a September session ot Con? gress. The Washington Star says : "Letters re? ceived here from members of Congress are almost unanimously adverse to a meeting of | Congress in September. Most of the mem? bers are so much absorbed in the home canvass that it ia deemed to be almost a matter of im? possibility to get a quorum here in case a meeting should be called. A sharp emer gency in the South might tiing enough ere to do business, bnt unless something serions should transpire there, it is quite cer? tain th ,t no SeptemDei session will be called." /antral Wets. 0~ The Relatives, Friends and Ac? quaintances of the Ber.

In facv strictly speaking, death alone can shatter them, for they represent the reserve of vital? ity, which enables the enfeebled system to' react," ' when the pressure of disease ia removed from it. But it is the fashion, when the body is weak, the cir? culation languid, the nerves tremnlonsand the mind depressed, to say that the constitution is ruined, or broken down or shattered. In cases of the kind da? B ar. bed admin ts te: HOS TE TIER'S STOMACH B FX - TEBS, and it will soon be seen how little ground-, there is for this stereotyped note of alarm.
