The Treaty of Berlin. The great dissatisfaction, which arose among the European powers about the Treaty of San Stria no entered into by liussiu and Turkey, necessitated the meeting of those powers at Berlin to revise and adjust such points as were calculated to dis tuih the harmony of ICu rope. That, t oiijjitss has adjourned and its re sults are a complete up-sotting of the terms of the first treaty. Indeed the vast amount of money and blood spent by Ktissia and Turkey have all been in vain, so far as those two powers are concerned; England an t Austria have managed the affair to suit themselves and of course the lion's share of the spoil goes to them. The following are the terms of the treaty : Russia gets the repossession of her old province of Bessarabia, a narrow strip of Armenia, the commercial usj of Batonm on tho Black sea, together with a humiliation among the powers of Europe a proud people will not long brook. Turkey loses her possessions in Europe and therefore her power. England gains Cyprus and the protectorate of Asiatic Turkey, which give her the complete control of Asia as well as the whole of Wester n and Southern Europe. Austria gains the military occupa tion of Bosnia and llorzegorvinia, which .-imply means tho ultimate incorporation of these provinces will? the Austrian lOmpiro.

I say so still, but do not wish loignoreatiyb.lt those who merit it, and I truly hope none of that class will be elected to fill any olliee of honor, or trust. I did not mean to have any voter disfranchised cither .Democrat, or ? opuMican ; neither do I wish to deprive any citizen of their equal rights under tho law, but desire that our government be managed and controlled by hon est, well-thinking men ?men, who are not easily biased, nor manacled in principle. Is there any incon sistency in this? no. "Critic" may be an aspirant for oilice, if so, I think he has satisfied the people by his use of latin, that he has ability. We would like to Know il lift is one of the charac ters alluded to in our article that we might be on our guard ? We would probably have bad no surmising leid he not come out in such a burlesqu ing manner about the many candi dates proposed, and seemed to be so very jubilant, iitt Be Honest. An Incident. yesterday morning a Confederate battle Hag was found flouting from the top of the large derrick at the monument. ?Some one had climbed up the ropes in the darkness of the night und fixed it at its perilous height, and there, Hashing in the morning sun, was I be starry cross that li Iteen years ago was the emblem of a nation's hopes. Man)'a heart leaped at tho sight, and many an oyo grew dim as memory rushed back through the intervening years to the comrades whose ringing laugh and joyous shout had brightened the camp uud whose lorms were foremost in the field, who now sleep buncatli die shadows of the pines Crom llto Potomac to tho Hio Grande, from the mountains to tho sea. 1 Tor tli" living are brave and nohle, The dead vere braves! of all." It had nothing of political signifi cance, it was rather as though one had come suddenly face to faec with tlie portrait of ti long dead and dearly beloved friend, ami tho yearning of lite heart was? ,4Oh ! for thetouch of a vanished h and, And the Bound of a voice that i '." About ton o'clock thij morning some of our citizens thought thai I lie ] ac t of an individual might be torttir cd into tin act of political imp oil. and it was decided that it should he removed, and one of tho workmen elihicd up and broughl it down.? A ^u'oeratio ^pni ty iu Goorgia in 1-SG7. Well, reckon somebody did ' it, and now tin isshu in our District is whether that organization is or is not worth preserving: Radicals and Independents arc on one side and Lbc organized Democracy on the other. This is the substantial question. There is nothing else in it that I can see?no charge of fraud or trick, no bribery, no corruption. The gaunt let has been fairly thrown down, tho wager of battle made. Roth sides are honest and earnest, and have put out their boldest champions. They are men whom the people have do lighted to honor. They aro both of the same religious family,and havo served their country faithfully iu war and in peace Above all, both of them are gentlemen, and tho light will be made i.i an open field iu tho light of day, while the eyes of mill ions, a- Jim Brown says, will he look in oiii The isshu is a tremenjous one, and I feel li kc getting upon a mountain and oxclaimin, ".Sohlieis, 40 CHiluries are lookiu down upon you from tho bights of these pyra mids." 1 tell you, Mr. Editur, it? goin to be a Waterloo in this district; sonn body is going to be beat, but who i*. i- I'll bo blamed if I know. I ainl got any money to bet on it, shore. Von ir, the doctor has got the inside track, because he's always in, and has dorn, a thousand little things that make- a man friends and keeps cm; ami the doctor is a preacher and has the gift of tongue, as St. Paul says, which is a good thing for a preacher to have. Hut, then, on the other hand, Les ter has got a power of friends hisolf, ami he hover loses any; and he's elo quent and mity nigh as homely as the doctor. Resides that he's a crip led soldier and when ho rises forward before the mountain boys and stretch es forth one arm in Iho heighth of his argument, and the other lions a round loose in an empty sieeyo, don't yon know them hoys will yell ? They ain't forgol Murfri csboro, norShilo, nor Gettysburg nor Krederioksburg, nor Petersburg, nor any other burg. Willinghnm thinks ho knows, and may be he does; but I'm goin* to ax Harris. What be don't know ttiut worth knowin'.

"Why, vole for the crutch;'* scd -.he, "every timbj always vote for the crippled .soldier; don't ax no questions about him, hut vote for him. lie deserves it, whether he's the lit test man or not; no man can do more Im- his country than he tried to do; other people may forgot'em hut I shan't. I love 'cm, 1 honor 'e:n, 1 clot lie 'cm, J feed 'em. I never charged one for a meal in my life and so help nie Cud I never will"? and Com in John rose up excitedly and shook himself and hollered, "Joe, yon black rascal, yon; why don't you coinc along with that water?'' Mr. Walerson has struck the bugle note, lie dared to tell the Union soldiers the other day in his big speech that he was for pensioning the cripples and widows nud orphans of both sides, and they cheered it im lively and shouted approval?and it will bo done yet?you see if it ain't.

Anybody cm hold out ? pole, .U.A. .Remarkably* Lively. -1$ lie was rather an unco nth looking imlividual, and as he sauutcrod into the store the crowd sitting on the barrels winked at each other, and made many remarks about bis por sou. 'Where did it come from ?' asked one, pointing at him. 'Somebody left the door open and it blew in,' .-aid another. ?1 don't think it is alive,'said a third. ' Touch it and see.,' remarked a fou rt h. 'Ye-, its a man?see it move?" queried the iirst. All hands laughed boislorously. 'I'm a poor man, ami I don't want to have any trouble with anybody. I'm a Christian, and 1 don't believe in turmoil ami strife and can't par ticipate in it. I pray you, worldly minded people, that you let ni3 tie part in peace,' wiid the new arrival One of the crowd, more ? hiring than tlic rest, hammered the man's hat down over bis eyes, and another dabbed hi- nose full of molasses from a barrel standing by. Then the poor Christian took a small volume i'rbm his pocket, and began reading the. Scriptures in a diuwling sing-song tune. While be was engaged in this the crowd played all sorts of tricks on hi:;;. One put some eggs in his pocket ntul another mashed them. Then the biggest man in the house poured some oil on his hat and light ed it. Then the clerk hit him under the lmsc with a c idlish. Then that man quietly piu tho lit tle book in iiis coal tail pocket, and the clerk went head firs;, into the mo lasses barrel. Whon tho biggest man in the bouse picked himself up from under the counter, il was next to an iin] ossibility to guess where his nose left oll' und where the codfish began. No. 1 made work for the glazor as he bit a ventilator in the window. No. 2 hatched out half a barrel of eggs, mid No. o got up on the pie shelf and stayed there. As No. 1 walked out of the door on bis back he wondered how much it would cost to make as good as new, and the root Christian man ro.narkcd : 'The next time you folks pick mo up for a slouch look out you ain't in the wrong pew. Good day, fellers.' The clerk is waiting for them to come round and settle for damages done, hut they must have forgotten where the place is as they pass right by without looking in, and their bills all remain unpaid. Young Men Beware. The following admonition should bo read i>* many young men and a few old ones: Never use a lady's name in an improper place, at any improper time, or in mixed company* Never make assertions about her that you think to be untrue, or allusions, that slie herself would blush to hear. When you meet with men who do not scruple to use a woman's name in a reckless manner, shun them; they are the very vorst members of the com munity; rnen lo t to every sense of honor, '.'very feeling of humanity* Many fl. good and worthy woman's character has been forever ruined and her heart broken b . a lie manufac ture 1 by some villain, and repeated when :t should not have been, und in presence of those whose little judg j ment could not deter them from cir culating the foul and bragging report. A slander is soon preguated, aud the smallest' thing, derogatory to a wo man's character, will i\y on the wing3 of the wind, and will grow aud tn.igui fy as it circulates, until its monstrous weight crushes the poor uncoacioUS victim. Res poet the natna of a wo man. Your mother aud sisters are women, and as you would have their fair names untarnished and their lives unembiticred by tho slanderous, bitter tongue, heed the ill your ojfn jgwords may bring upon the mother, Hg"-sister or the wife ?l sorao fell.owj Creature. - i mm , be pumped dry, and will gape worse for an idea than a chicken does for the pip " Song of tho grassrtopper: " \Ve will meet in this weatby and by."
