Kh?t at F::uxa>:iij>:\.?The For-:
nandina (Jou.'i r oi' last Fri lay gives
an account of a riot in that cily. It
, sa.v-s :
j Oar city, on Monday last, was a '
; scene of rioting ami lawlessness unknown
before i:i its history, and came
near resulting in the most serious con>
seijuences. \VTe mentioned in last
' week's issue that the Sheriff, in attempting
to execute a writ ofejcctm"i:t.
was forcibly resisted and thrust
out of the house he was endeavoring
to take possession of. Uu Monday,
i lie summoned to his aid a number of
! the citizens to serve as apnwin cxej
cutiug liis writ, and again Paul Crippen.
and others of like Radical 'proclivities,
armed some forty or fifty
negroes, and hoisting the U. S. hag!
over the building in dispute, placed !
them i:i it, determining to resist the
law. This being the state of thomase
; and the Sheriffs force hut few in
nuijibers, it was deemed prudent, in
order to avoid bloodshed, to postp me
action until advice could be had with
the proper authorities as to the lu-st
course to be persiu d. Tims the affair
, stood until evening, when J. T. Frishie,
Ine Marshal ofihe city, entered
the store o( J. Cook ling, a peaceable
citizen, and behaving i.', ;i rude and
uubeeoiuiiig manner was ordered to
!W^dja^urtia^!-jj>iAJ^.?iJt^v^uifciir-w?T- ... .... .
leave, and upon his refusal to 'db so
was forced out and the door -shut.
Frisbie then gave orders to a lot of
negroes he had at his bidding to Ireak
the doors and sack the building,
which was attempted, the doors luejng
cut in with axes, and, had not Maj-or
Riddle, Mr. B. B. Andrews, GeAeral
Finegan, and several other gciilemen
interfered promptly, it certniinly
would have ended in the-most senous
consequences. Much credit is klne
these gentlemen in 'quelling the riot. .'
This is a simple statement of thofacts
in the case, and we may well ask- the
question have we civil law or not? If
so, arc these things to go unpunished?
There are unfortunately, three or foitr
vile men in our community who.Call
themselves Radicals, and get their
' * 1? J in rr f.YiP

poor negro and pushing them forward
in all their dirty work. So long a3
these wretches are allowed to'remain
here we may expect to have disturbances
and troubles. All the inso-.
lence and insubordination of negroes
here come from the teachings and
baneful influence of these trifling men;
A Terrible Firearm.?The Government
is now having made at Hartford,'
Conn eli cut, one hundred battery
guns of a new invention. Fifty
of them will have a one inch bore,
and the balance one half inch bore.
Tliis gun is quite a curiosity to look,
at. The main characteristic of this
terrible w^ipoir is that it has a scries '
of barrels, .with a cylinder, rigidly
fastoncd to the main shaft, and rota*
ting simultaneously and continously
by means of a trank, the cartridges
being fed into the carrier from the
feed boxes, thehce driving endwise into
the rear ends of the barrels, then
exploded and the empty cartridge
cases withdrawn without any pause
in the operation. The incessant loading'and
firing are produced by the
simplest kind of mechanism, there
being less parts about the gun, than
in the Springfield musket.
' This gun can be discharged at. the"
rate of two hundred shots per mia-..
1A.^
ufe. Gncot us reacure1* lauiaituuivj
racy of" its aim. When, the gun <is
onco sighted at a given object, the
same aim can be maintained at the
will of the operator until thousands
of discharges takes place. A lateral
train motion of -the gun may he
kept up, if desired, while the gun is
being discharged, go that a perfect
sheet of balls can be made to sweep
a section of any circle within its range.
As .there is no escape of gas at the
breech, all the force of the ponder is
expended in giving velocity- to the
bail. A consideration which is claimed
to be of the very first importance
in tiiis gnu, is that every cartridge
must cither he discharged or withdrawn
from the barrels, thus precluding
such results as were shown on
the battle-field of Gettysburg, -where
of the 28.574 muskets-collected aSRr
the battle, 24,000 were found to be
loaded, j 2.000 of them containing
two load.? each, and 0,000 being
charged with from three to ten loads
each, the cartridges oftentimes being
loaded without breaking them, and
many inserted- with the ball down
. The gun is light and easjrily
transported. One'of the sizes now
being made at the armory discharges
GO ii.ch calabrc balls, and weighs
two hundred and twenty five pounds.
Tiie other size discharges balls of
o:m.i:iclica!ibre(nineouncesm weight)
ami weighs between five hundred and
si" hundred pounds. The first named
lias a range of about a mile, and the
latter about two miles.
Com pa iiativk Demoralization.
?"The demoralization of the South
is a favopitoliobby with certain Northem
journals, but they do not scorn to
"look at home." A correspondent
of the Cinciiiati Gwriting from
tiic capitol of Indiana, ou the -ithinst.,
furnishes the following item:
"During the year ISGO there were
224 applications for divorce in this
County, of which 111 were granted,
; twenty-six dismissed, and eighty-six
are now pending. 142 petitions were
i'roin females, ami eighty-one from
males. The proportion of divorces
granted to marriage licenses issued
are one to eight."
Here is shown a demoralization
which can find no counterpart in the
South. Take, for instance, the
County of {Davidson) in which the
capito'l of Tennessee is located, and
we find that only fiity-lhree applications
for divorce v.evo filed, two of
i which were granted and four dis
missed. Tliis is a large number of
applications for this section, it must
be confessed, but it is relatively
greatly below that of the capitol of
Indiana, and the proportion will probably
hoW good as to other Northern
and Southern localities.
The Gazctttc s "Washington correspondent
furnishes another proof of
the- greater demoralization of the
North. In his dispatch of the 9th
inst., he says: '
"The officers of the Internal Revenue
Bureau are dally making seizures
of distileries all over the country;
f6r illicit distillation. Commissioner
Rollins is actively'engaged in the
suppression of this business.. The
result of which is that many fraudulent
cases are coming to light, and
large sums of money saved to the Government."
These frauds by distillers have all

occurred ju wv xiui w, j
with these evidences before them'
radical journals will wring the changes
upon their hobby of Southern
demoralization. We refer to these
instances to show with .what grace
lectures come from these self-constituted
censors. - Nashville

Beautiful Extract.?The following
illimitable extract is- said to I
have been written by Bishop Hebcr
in one of the very, earliest of his memorable
productions:
It cannot be that earth is man's
only abiding place. It cannot be that
life is a bubble cast up' by the ocean
o"F eternity to float a moment upon its
waves, and into nothingness. Else
why is it that high and glorious aspirations,
which leap like angels from
the temple of our hearts are forever
pandering unsatisfied? Why is it
that the rainbow and cloud come over
us a beauty thath's not of earth, and
then paS5 off to leave u3 to muse on"
their loveliness? Why is it that the
.stars which 'hold their festival around"
..the midnight- throne,' arc set above
the-''grasp of our limited faculties,.
$?-iwrpiockihg us with their unapjg&if'n
igiinJi ilnh
ty arc presented to our view and then
taken from us. leaving the thousand
streams of our affections to.now back
in an Alpine torrent-upon our hearts?
We are born for a higher destiny
than that of earth. There is a realm
where the rainbow never fades; where
the stars arc spread out before us
like the Islands that slumber on the
ocean, and'whcrcthc beautiful beings
which pass before us. like shadows
will stay forever in our presence.
Wrio is the Dotard??Sir Isaac
Newton wrote a commentary upon
the Prophet Daniel, and another upon
the Dock of Revelations ; in one #of
which he said that, in order to fulfill
certain prophesies before a certain j
date was terminated?the 1,200 (lav's |
or prophetic years of Daniel?there j
would be a mode of travelling discovered
of which the men of his time
had no conception; nay, that the
knowledge of mankind would he so
increased that they would be able to
travel at the rate rate of fifty mile's on
hour! The infidal Voltaire got hold
of this, and snceringly said: 'Now
look at that mighty mind of Newton,
who discovered gravity, and told such
marvels for us to admire! When he
became an old man, and got in his
dotage,'he began to studv that book
O ' O *
called the Dible; arid it seems that,
in order to credit its fabulous nonsense,
we must believe that the knowledge
of mankind will be so increased
tbat we shall be able to travel at the
rate of fifty miles an hour. The poor

Tiie Tax Act.?Our wise legislators?Ileaven
save them from further
legislation?in a spirit of emulation,
and determined not to be outdone by
the government have succeeded in
oven going ahead of it. The Internal
Revenue Tax was looked upon as
odious, intolerable, hardly to be borne,
but in comparison to the State Tax
Act it bears a better aspect. }\re had
a right to expect mercy from our own
people, certainly hoped that the fostering
care of the State would lend a
helping hand to relieve us from the
burdens now crushing us down, but
that hope dies out with the birth of
this new evil, this State Tax Act, to
raise supplies. To ratVe supplies for
what? Oppressed by a heavy Inter|
lyil Revenue Tax, of two year's
standing, threatened on every hand
I with law suit, cries are rent up for
help,' for relief, and the grand measure
of relief comes in the shape pf-a
doubly lieayy, and unequally apportioned-State
Tax.

Sotjtiiern Youn(> Men.?The
young men of the South hare it in
their power,to make' a new South, I
more prosperous and powerful than
the old. They have shown their energy
and self-denial in war,' and if
they exhibit anything like the same'
qualities m peace, they will build up
their section beyond the "powers for
mischief of their bitterest enemies.
The way to do this is simply bo avoid
politics and go to work; to apply their
whole'' souls to the work- of creative
industry to work in all its forms,
whether in thefield or theshop, wheth-.
cr agricultural or mechanical. 1 Let

is no form of labor .which is degrading,
and if they were willing to per-,
form manual, drudgery in the ranks,
for tlie sake of the South, in war, letthem
be willing to do the same, in the
ranks of peaceful industry, and the"
salvation of their-section is secure.

pass themselves off as "colored persons,

in their attempt to get their eleven
hours of daily labor reduced to ten.
While they remain white, a misfortune
likely to attend them all their
lives, they can never succeed in arousing
the sympathies of their: Boston

are agitating for the eight hour

efforts; but in.Lowell people must expect

Both, if you. can, but books at any
rate! To -spend several days in a
friend's house and hungry for something
to read, while you. are treading
on costly carpets, and sitting down
upon luxurious chairs, and downy
beds, is as if one weye bribing your
body for the sake of cheating your
mind. Books arc the windows through
which the soul looks out. A housewithout
books is like a room without
windows. A book is good company;
it is.full of conversation "vv'ithbut loquacity.

Justice to the Living, Tiien
Honors to the Bead.?The movements
in various localities, for the erection
of monuments to the memory
of the Confederate dead is creditable
to the grateful-sentiments of our people
; but in view of the prevailing distress
among the living, is it not possible
that we may best honor the memories
of those who have fallen, by extending
our present limited means to
the relief of those "they have left behind
? The brave deeds of those who
gave up their lives for their country
have monuments more lasting than
marble in the hearts of all who recognize
their patriotic devotion; and in
due time it will be proper to mark
their resting places with appropriate
tokens of ^appreciation. But it is
