Joe Crtws va. Napoleon ?nd va. King
William.
Oar readers have recently been read?
ing the stirring words with which Napo?
leon and King William have been ad?
dressing themselves to thc natioual pride
of their respective countrymen. Bat
(how tame do European pronunciamcntos
read Bide by sido by tho electrical battle?
-cry of that old war-horse of radicalism
"Joe Crews," of Laurens! He summons
his troops to the rescue. He parades thc
virtues of Wallace-inot of Scotland
but of York, and ouds with these thrill?
ing words:
"Republicans of the Fourth District,
the viotory I?03 within our grasp, if we
will but unite to achieve it! Let us then
buckle on tho armor for tho fight, carry?
ing consternation aud dismay into the
very ranks of tho ouemy, and until tho
set of sun on tho 18th day of October
next, let our battle-cry be, Scott! Ban?
dier! Wallace, and Victory!
" 'Let us have peace.' "
Who will deny, now, that "Joe Crews"
is not tho man for making appeals as well
as money ? Napoleon and Bismarck &
Co. must now stand aside, for Joseph
Crews is on the war-path. "On with tho
.dance!"

Tile Theatre or War.
It is tho good fortune of Belgium,
which, in so many continental WO/fs, has
>been the battle-field of contending na?
tions-the cook-pit of Europe, as it has
been not inappropriately called-this
.time to be couqtcd out. Not only that,
but like trespassers "warned off," aud
threatened with the law, the combatants
?iave been told beforehand to march else?
where with their stakes and ropes, and
find another place to pitch their ring.
Tho soil of the Low Countries-Flan?
ders, as it was formerly called-has
drunk enough blood. Not one of its
principal towuB but has been repeatedly
besieged, sometimes taken and re-taken
repeatedly during tho same war, or in a
.single campaign. Not ono of its little
streams but has hud its water crimsoned
.with the blood of wounded and dying
oien, while the grass of its meadows has
been made greener by the graves which
is covers. Not to go back to medieval
times, Alva and the Prince of Orange,
Marlborough, Turenne, Conde, 'Saxe,
Taubau, Napoleon, Wellington, names
?he most illustrious in military annals,
Are associated with battles and sieges
which have tokon place in Belgium. It
is time that the little kingdom rested
from the sights and sounds of war. It
has proclaimed its neutrality; England
stands apparently ready to enforce it,
aud, after the "secret treaty" business,
neither France nor Prussia will proba?
bly be in a hurry to violate it. So the
theatre of war is transferred Southward
3nd Eastward to where the frontiers of
France and Prussia join-a narrow strait
?rom Sierck to a point a little East of
the fortress of Sa?rbruck, not measuring
.over forty miles. Westward lies the
neutral ground of Luxembourg, au ap?
pendage of Belgium, aud Eastward is
the Bavarian Pfalz, not neutral, since
Bavaria is allied with Prussia, but not
Prussian. Southwardly, where the
Shine forms the Eastern boundary of
France, is Baden. To indulge in sur?
mises as to the probable' plan of cam?
paign or movement of armies, when any
hour may bring decisive news, would be
simply idle.
A few general speculations ouiy may
be hazarded. Tue magnitude and
proximity of the opposing armies,
with the facilities on both sides for
observation, prompt communication and
transportation, almost preclude the pos?
sibility of anything like a surprise, or
thc successful accomplishment of what
we used to hear so much ot' during our
cwn war-a flank movement. Such a
movement, always dangerous in tho pre?
sence of a powerful aud active enemy,
vould, nuder present circumstances, be
?ttended with infinite peril to the army
attempting it. Whenever aa advance
takes place on either bide, it will, thcrc
lore, probubly bc a direct advance-a
cautious one, no doubt, for the situation
compels caution-but one which, if thc
two armies are anything like equal in
numbers, must lead to a battle. From
the present'location of the French and
Prussian headquarter?, with tho mass of
troops on both sides, it would not be
unreasonable to look for that bettie
somewhere in tho triaugle formed by
Metz, Kreuznach and Coblenz-with
the probabilities iu favor of au advance
by tho French. Tho invading arni}', of
course, caunot select its owu battle-field;
thc force which is act!Lg on the defen?
sive may. After thc first battle, whither
ibo tide of war will ultimately roll
whether in thc direction of Paris or Bcr
ilu- - whether thc Prussians will bo ablo
to maintain their position in front of tho
Xibiuo, or whether they will be com?
peli?.1, to retire behind that stream, aro
I questions which not tho wisest of our
military oracles or gentlemen who do
thc strategy for the newspapers aro able
to answer. In the meantime, tho tele?
graph may flash across tho ocean at any
momont tho nows that war's dread game
has opened in earnest.
"Tile Blighted Palmetto.1'
Under this heading the New York
News, a staunch Democratic journal,
comments upon the state of affairs
brought upon South Carolina by the
radical influence, and ha? the following
remarks upon the reform movement:
Tbc two parties now havo tboir candi?
dates in tho Acid for State officers. Tbc
radicals bavo ro-nominatcd Robert li.
Scott, of Ohio, for Governor, aud A. J.
Ransier, (negro,) of Pennsylvania, for
Lieutcuant-Governor. Thc opposition
has organized as tho Union Reform
Party, aud around its platform havo
rallied all tho conservatives in tho State,
both white and black. Its candidato for
Governor is ox Judgo R. B. Carpenter, a
conservativo Republican; and for Licu
tonant-Governor, Gen. Matt C. Butler,
tho famous cavalry officer, formerly of
the Confederate army. Both of tho
Uniou Reform candidates are flue
orators. Judgo Carpenter has the repu?
tation of boiug one of tho most power?
ful stump speakers in the South. These
gentlemen have been addressing large
audiences in different parts of tho State
for the past four weeks. Grant's ma?
jority in South Carolina in 1SG3, when
a full vote was called out, was 17,079.
This is a largo majority tojovorcome,
when so much of it is composed of gross
bigotry and ignorance. But the Union
Reformers do not despair of getting a
ray of light into the negro braiu, by
showing him that his truo interests lie
with his own people, rather than with
strangers. They are further encouraged
by the important quarrel which has
arisen in tho radical ranks, between tho
Sawyer faction on the one hand, and tho
DeLargo (negro) faction on tho other.
Whittemore gave his influence to
DeLargo in the State Convention, and
Senator Sawyer and his friends were
kicked out. Out of this feud tho re?
demption of the State may eventually be
secured.
A DiSASTitocs STOBM.-Thc Mobilo
Register, of tho 3d instant, contains tho
particulars of a disastrous storm, which
has damaged the city aud shippiug to
tuc oxtont of $250,000. It suya:
A peculiarity of our bay and coast is
thc August storms, so-called, occurring
in some locality every fow years. That
of 1852 is tho most memorable in tho
annals of Mobile, which escaped any
further visitation till 18G0, when the
storm of August 2G, doiug its chief da?
mage on thc Eastern shore, was succeed?
ed by that of tho 8th of Septombor,
which discharged its fury principally
upon thc city and tho shippiug at the
wharves. We havo siuco then enjoyed,
until now, an immunity from these spe?
cial visitations. The present storm has
occurred earlier in the season than any
of its predecessors, and has been more
sudden in its advent and more; brief in
its duration. We are informed that thc
baromoter yesterday morning fell to 27J?j
inches, sicking two inches in as manj
hours.

TUE RIGHTS OF MINORITIES.-Upon
this subject, now receiving thc attention
it deserves, tho New York Neus says:
Of the Republican statesmen of Ame
rica, Mr. Madison was undoubtedly thc
ono who saw, tho earliest and most clear
by, the indispensable necessity of pro
viding in tho scheme of the new govern
mont some safe-guard for the rights ol
the minority, which should not bo iucon
sistcnt with the fuudamental principle
itself of popular institutions. lu a let
ter writtcu to Mr. Monroe, tho yeai
before the adoption of the Constitution,
he says:
"To secure the public good and pri?
vate rights against tho dangers of a fae
tious majority, and at tho same timo tc
preserve tho spirit and form of populai
government, is tho great object to whiel
our inquiries should be directed."
And afterward, when defending th<
Constitution in the Virginia Conventiot
ngaiuat thc eloquent assaults of Patric!
Henry, who put forward thc claim, ii
the name of Democracy, to tho absolu tl
and supremo control of a majority o
numbers, Mr. Madison opposed the grea
lesson of history and human corruptioi
when he said:
"Ou a candid review of history, wt
shall find that turbulence, violence auc
abuse of power, by a majority tramplinc
on tho rights of a minority, havo pro
dticcd factions and commotions, which ii
republics, moro frequently than anj
other cause, produced despotism."
Aud this is pre-eminontly true; for i
wo go over tho whole history of auden
and modern republics, we shall fine'
their destruction generally to have rc
suited from theso causes. If wc consi
der the present peculiar situation of thi
United State.-, wo shall find that there ii
great reason to fear that the same cause
may terminate hero in tho same fata
effects which they produced in those rc
publics.
A year or so ago, Senator Buckalov
brought forward his cumulative systeu
in tho United States Senate, and sus
lamed it in a very elaborate aud cxbaus
tive speech. Its startling truths fell upoi
tho public miud with great force, au?
gave riso to lengthy discussions. Grea
good has grown out of this investigation
for already ono of thc Western States
Illinois, bas incorporated the ctimulativi
system into her constitution, and hence
forth minorities will havo rights in tba
State. If tho experiment succeeds ii
Illinois, it will bo followed in all th
Stales of tho Uniou, and we have ni
doubt with immensely beneficial effects
I Driukists, go to Pollock's.
MB. EDITOR: Can you explain to your
subscribers tho meaning of certain gen
tlemen in different .patts of the State,
who labor nuder political disabilities,
running for Congress? Don't they know,
aud don't the public know, that if they
get every vote i n their Congressional Dis?
tricts, they will not be allowed to take
their scats in Congress, unless they can
tako the "iron-clad" oath, or unless their
political disabilities havo been romoved?.
Why, then, this repeating the farce of
1868, of men running for office who cau
not take thoir seats, if elected? Look at
both Wallace and H?ge. Each of them
was beaten by thousands of votes, and
yet both of them have been pormitted to
tako their seats, becauso their opponents
could not, on account of thoir political
disabilities.
I fear that some of tho gentlemen who
are candidates for Cougress uro laboring
nuder the delusion that their political
disabilities were removed by tho Inst
Congress. If they will only take tho
trouble to investigate tho matter, they
will discover that the bill before the last
Congress, "to relievo certain perssns
therein named from the legal and politi?
cal disabilities imposed by tho fourteenth
article of amendment to the Constitution
of tho United States," and which con?
tained 3,000 or 4,000 names, did not pass.
The bill passed tho Senate, but failed in
tho House, aud hence did not become a
law. QUANTUM SUFFICIT.
North Carolina.
The Raleigh Standard publishes tho
public confession of sixteen citizens of
Alamanco'County, North Carolina, to the
effect that they have been members of a
secret organization styled the "Whito
Brotherhood," or "Constitutional Uuiou
Guard;" and that thoy have withdrawn
from it, and are sorry for what they have
done. It is tho old story of thc reigu of
terror-thc cowards and knaves turn
State's evidence, and publish their own
shame to the world. Among the sixteen,
is one Mr. James E. Boyd, who was no?
minated by tho Democrats of Alamance
for tho Legislature. Holden had him
arrested; his wifo got sick; ho begged to
see Holden; was allowed to do so-being
escorted by a guard to Raleigh for the
purpose. Result of interview: Boyd is
bailed and publishes his coufession
heaping odium on the friends whose ap?
probation he had sought, aud whose
honors ho had accepted. These peoplo
are, by their own public coufessious, im?
peached and their testimony mada o*f
little value.
Holden is both cunning and unscru?
pulous. He has managed very adroitly
to spread alarm and apprehension among
the timid and fearful. Ho thinks, and
probably justly, thnt there are enough of
these, when joined to his own secret
"leagues," to Rive him the victory in the
State. Hts coolness in denouncing se- j
oret political organizations, while himself
being a beneficiary of that sort of party
organization, is quito lemarkable.
Wo aro glad that tho North Carolina
elections will take place at so early a day :
as next Thursday. Tho disgraceful and
outrageous scenes now occurriug there,
which have been gotten up to bear upon
tho elections, will probably end ns soou
as they are over.
But there is one thing that will not
end, that is the bad effect of the usurpa?
tion of power by the Governor in a timo
of peace, and bis trampling upon the
courts, the constitutional aud legal tri?
bunals for tho punishment of crime and
tho protection of the citizen. That does
not wind up with tho elections. It is
the sown wind-the seeded retribution
the embalmed revenge. Power that is
corrupt nover thinks of tho future. It
never considers that it may, at some day,
ucod tho protection of tho laws aud tri?
bunals it now scorns and stamps upon.
And so, by their own net, those who
misuse it, rob themselves of the only
shield upon which they could roly when
others succeed to tho power which they
havo so vilely abused. Parties are no?
thing, principles everything in tho ad?
ministration of public affairs. Tho great
grievance to the country is tho outrages
upon tho laws and upon the public peace
aud safety by the atrooious corruptions
and usurpations of bad men, such as we
uow seo in power in North Carolina.

RE-ORGANIZATION OF THE PORT ROYAE
RAILROAD COMPANY.-Tho Augusta Con?
stitutionalist, of yesterday, says:
We aro advised of a re-organization
and change of officers iu tho Port Royal
Railroad Company, by which Mr. H. H.
Boody, thc former treasurer of tho com?
pany, succeeds Mr. S. C. Millett as Pre?
sident. Tho work ou this lino of road is
to be at once takon chargo of by Mr.
Gustavo Lohibach, eugineer of thc road,
under whose direction aud management
wo understand that it is to bo pressed
forward to completion as rapidly as pos?
sible. To that end, ho has already com?
menced tho re-organization of a laboring
force, having engaged about 1U0 of tho
bauds who recently deserted the contrac?
tors, Georgo D. Chapman Sc Co., on ac?
count of the f.iiluro of the latter to meet
their monthly payments.

MlBABEAU ON GEPMAN CONSOLIDATION
EIGHTY-TWO YEAHS AGO.-Tho North
German Gazette publishes an interesting
historical fragment. This is the elo?
quent discourse addressed, eighty-two
{ears ago, by Mirabeau to Germany, in
is work, De la Monarchie Prussienne,
(London, 1778. V. 405.) It is as fol?
lows:
Citizens of Germany, to whatever con?
dition you may belong, listen to a
stranger who honors you because you
form a great nation, who, wise, enlight?
ened, and less corrupted than most
other peoples, are equally incapable by
your national character and your posi?
tion of subjugating Europe or of tarniug
it iuto a wilderness. Regard the banner
of the House of Brandenburg as the
symbol of your freedom; unite with it,
support it, favor its legitimate growth,
rejoice at its successes, hinder it as
much as j-ou eau from committiug faults,
for they will bo fatal to it, as it has uo
other reliance than its own capacity. As
an admirer of the great king, to whom
moro thau all tho rest the House of
Brandenburg owes its power, I would
tako au interest in this really grand,
though still unconsolidated edifice, were
it only because it is tho work of that ex?
traordinary mau. But wero tho welfare
of Germany not bonud up with it, I would
not invite you, my country-which is
entire Eurdpe-to support thc Prussian
monarchy, but to leave wisdom and ex?
cellence time to widcu the foundations.
To tho discovery of tho means for at?
taining this cud ninny long and weari?
some nights have beeu devoted. These
means aro simply peace and freedom,
civil liberty for all, unrestricted trade,
religious liberty, freedom of thought,
liberty of the press, freedom of things
aud of men. Here, as in a fruitful germ,
reposes the prosperity of kingdoms. But
the Prussian mouarchy is better pre?
pared than any other to reap tho glorious
harvest that awaits it. Ul is mature for
tho great coming changes; no insupera?
ble impediment stands in tho way. May
the protecting genius of Europe and the
human race watch over its fate, and
strengthen it in the dangers to which it
is exposed. May it thus arrive at thc
summit of majesty and power, which it
by justice and wisdom alone is capable
of reaching.
AMERICAN SYMPATHY WITH PRUSSIA.
The foolish attempt of the Republican
party to utilize the present outburst of
German patriotism will prove no excep?
tion to thc uniform rule. Our Germau
citizens sec through and despiso it.
Their enthusiasm is spontaneous and
gouuiue, and therefore respectable; but
tho attempt to rais3 a Republican chorus
is sheer demagoguism. The Germans
arc uot absurd enough to expect our
Government to aid Prussia, aud they
sc.' as clearly as wo do that tho question
cannot enter into American politics.
Thc grounds and probablo results of the
war arc a proper enough subject for in?
dividual opinion, but not for political
action. Whether pro-Prussian or pro
French sympathy is well bestowed, de?
pends upou whether free and wise go?
vernment will bo promoted in the coun?
try to which we give our good wishes-a
question which nobody can answer at
this early stage of the quarrel.
[Nea York World.
A new trade has sprung up between
Egypt and Euglaud. The old land of
tho Pharoahs is sending the boues of its
millions of mummies to the shores of
thrifty Albion, where they aro reduced
to powder and used as fertilizers of the
soil. Euglish agriculturalists express a
decided preference for thc ancient bones,
having discovered, by long practice,
that they exert a beneficial iuflucuce ou
tho turnip lands, whero tho famous
Southdown sheep arc raised and fat?
tened. Thus tho remains of the aucieut
Thebans aud Memphians serve to fur?
nish food for thc tables of the London?
ers of our own day.
AN OMISSION IN THE APPROPRIATION
BILL.-By an oversight the last appro?
priation bill contained no provision for
tho payment of tho salaries of tho janitors
at any of the post offices or court houses,
and tho Secretary of tho Treasury has
sent ont a notico of this fact. Inquiry
was mado from several quarters whether
theso persons could not bo paid from
some other appropriation, but thc Secre?
tary replied that under the new law he
could not transfer funds in any case. So,
hereafter, post-masters and judges will
havo to do their owd sweeping and build
their own fires till Congress can remedy
their troubles next winter.
VERY STRANGE.-Of thc fiv.e promi?
nent instigators of Mumford's death, but
one-thc chief assassin-remains alive,
and he, though as hard as flint to the
world's reproach, is a moral leper. The
other four, according to tho New York
Democrat, have died terribly and swiftly.
Andrew J. Butler lived miserably after
his return from thc South, and then
desperately committed suicide. Bell, a
member of Butler's staff, and also of the
military commi ssion, died a raving luna?
tic. Hnggerty, tho Judge Advocate,
perished in thc streets of New Orleans
of delirium tremens. Another member
of tho stud", and au interested party, re?
cently, at Houg Kong, blew out his
brains.

We regret to learn that a little girl, two and
