Tho radicals, seeing the swelling torrent of public sentiment rising against theirnegro supremacy policy, begin to sing small. Ono of their organs in this city lind a labored article yesterday, appealing patheti? cally to the public in behalf of the "poor negro." It asks, "Shall four millions of our countrymen be hence? forth serfs and outcasts in the land of their birth, with their descend? ants through all generations?" It colls this "tba main question-the great question remaining to be solved by tho judgment and votes of the American people." Now, this is the merest balderdash nnd clap-trap nonsense. The writer knows very well, if he has any sense, that the four millions of bis colored country? men axe neither serfs nor outcasts, and never can be again. They are on perfect equality with the whites as regards their civil rights and before the law. If a portion of them should be excluded from certain political privileges for a time and for great public reasons, that would be no? thing more than what happens to many white people in this republic and land of equal rights. All this talk about the negroes being serfs and outcasts is supreme nonsense, and is made for the purpose of blind? ing the American people to the real object of the radicals. No, there is no fear of the negroes not having their rights; and that is not the real question. Tho object of the radicals is to make the negro vote the balance of power in our political system and government. A small party some? times holds the balance, as we often see, in both State and general elec? tions. Tho four millions of blacks in tho South may become the ruling power of the republic through hold? ing that balance. We see already bow demoralized and extreme the Republican party hits become in its efforts to get the negro vote. What .will not that party or any other do to gain power through the negro vote, ii that vote can give it? In fact, we are now in danger of having this great republio governed by the negroes and in tho interests of ne? groes. This is "tho main question" really at issue, and all tho pretence about negro rights is sheer humbug. [New York Herald, FACTO FOR COLOKED FOLKS.-There has been A comparatively large immi? gration of Northern people to the Valley; they have invested their money here, and more are coming. They all wish to come South, and prefer the Valley because the number of colored peoplo is so small in pro? portion to thc whites. The prejudice of the working white mnn North against tho negro is increasing, and he is the man who will t,ettlo up the South. He or his friends fought for free white labor, and they won. Tho firBt question a white immigration from tho North neks is, "You aint bothered with tho niggers here, nie you?" Finding we in the Volley are not, he buys land and settles. Those facts shonld taacb colored folks some- j thing. They should study over them, and make themselves the best labor? ing class in the world. They should stick to their old friends, and avoid voting and politics. [ Valley V?rgijxian. ?

EQUINOX.-As the equinoctial storms are now upon us, we copy tho following interesting article from the. Charleston News: "About the 21st of September, the ecliptic, or great circle which thc sun appears to describe in the heavens in the course of the year, crosses the terrestrial equator. Tho point of in? tersection is called tho equinoctial point, or the equinox, because at that period, froto its position in relation to the sun, the earth, as it revolves on ita axis, has exactly one-half of its surface illumined by the sun's rays, while tho other half remains in dark? ness, producing the phenomenon of equal day and night all over the world. These periods are termed,' from the seasons in which they occur, the autumnal and vernal equinox. At this timo the sun rises about six j o'clock in the morning, und sets near- i ly the same timo in the evening. In the autumnal equinox the sun is pass in g from North to South, and con? sequently from this period the days in the Northern hemisphere gradual? ly shorten until the 21st of December, the winter solstice is reached, from which season they gradually lengthen to tho spring or vernal equinox, on tho 21st of March, when day and night are again equal. As is well known, both the autumnal and vernal equinoxes are distinguished over the world by the storms that prevail at these seasons. The origin of such atmospheric commotions lins never been very satisfactorily explained, but is supposed to arise from tho united tidal action of tho sun and moon on the atmosphere; an action which at the time of tho equinoxes is oxertcd with greater force than nt any other period of tho year. A kiuk in the coil of tho stern line of an excursion steamer at Sandusky, took off tho leg from each of two young women, on Thursday. Van Dieman's Land, ont of a pop? ulation of 80,000, contains but four of the aboriginal inhabitants. SEVERE SENTENCE OP A COURT MARTIAL.-The sentence of Captain Charles Frederick Brown, Thirty seventh United States colored troops, who was tried before a court martial at Haleigh, North Carolina, in No vember last, has just been confirmed by General Grant. Captain Brown was tried on tho charges of selling the property of tho United States, and appropriating to his own uso tho proceeds of tho sales. He was found guilty, and sentenced to be dis? honorably dismissed tho service, with loss of all pay and allowances now due or hereafter to become due; to be forever disqualified to hold nny office of trust or profit under the Go? vernment; t<? pay a fine of $2,000, and be imprisoned in Fort Macon, North Carolina, until the fine is paid; and that the name and place of abode of the criminal, and the sentence, be published in the newspapers of the States of Massachusetts and North Carolina. WINE Gnowrsa rs NORTH CARO-] LINA.-The Wilmington I'ost, of' Saturday, says : "Wo visited Mr. L. A. Hart's vine-yard yesterday, and were astonished ut tho great" amount of grapes now ripening on the vinos. This vine-yard was estab? lished six years ?go, and although unimproved during the war, still shows great thrift and growth. Mr. Hart bas til ty acres of land devoted to this business, and has now over eight hundred bearing vines. He has four varieties of tho grape, and we noticed in several instances, that tho great weight of grapes had broken down the arbors. An experienced grape grower estimates tho crop at over five hundred bushels, and as they yield from three and a half to four gallons of wino to a bushel, he will probably muko from 1,530 to 2,000 gallons of wine this year." John Mitchel, the distinguished j Irish patriot, has written a history of Ireland, which ho is now seeing through the press in New York. SPECIAL NOTICES. GROWING HEPUTATIUK-If the entire correspondence from South Ameri? ca, Central America and tho West Indies, received by Messrs. Hostetter A Smith, during the last twelve months, were pub? lished at length, it would probably be con? sidered one of tho moat extraordinary col? lections of approbatory testimony on record -tho letters, written in every variety of style, and emanating from individuals of almost every class, aro, nevertheless, all of tho Hame tenor. Physicians, priests, mer? chant s, planters, military officers, artisans, lawyers, Ac, tell one story, admitting, without reserve or qualification, that thc tonic* heretofore iu uso in those regions have been gonerally and justly supcrccdcd by HOSTKTTER'S BITTERS. The confidence manifestoil by thc people of these countries might bc fairly called enthusiastic. Yet theso aro not the only tokens of tho growing popularity of HOSTETTEB'S STOMACH BITTERS. 'Die foreign orders for tho article from Europe, Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, East Indies, Capo of Good Hope, Sandwich Islands, Ac, have been heavier than at any former period. As an antidote to malaria, a stomachic and general invigoraut, they all testify to ita remarkable efficacy. Sept ll in WHEATON'S OINTMENT will cure tho Itch. WHEATON'S OINTMENT will cure Salt Rheum.

Aa a blood pnri?er, there is no medicine like it known to tho profession. A gentleman, told me that his son has been taking the Queen's Delight, and ia moro benefited hy it than by any other medicine. He wants a dozen bottles." Extract from a letter: "It ia due to you to state in this publie manner, in order that tho people may know the truth, that I have tried your Queen's Delight, and found it not only what you aaid it wea-"a ??uro medicine"-but the best medicine I lave over taken for eruptions and general bad health.

I liare taken ono bottle of yonr Queen's Delight, the ?ruption has disappeared, my appotite ia better, my livor and digestion ie hn Croved. I am satisfied one or two more ottles will cure me." Extract irom a lotter: "At thc close of the war, my constitution waa shattered. I could not "eat, aloep or perform any duty whatover, such waa my prostrate condi? tion. Medicine and medical aid I had in abundance, such was my condition'up to a few months since, when I began tho use of your Queen's Delight.
