Wednesday Morning, April 21, '69
The South Coming Right.
We received a letter last week from
Memphis, Tenn., written April 11th
1869' It is from a noble son of the
EMERALD ISLE whose acquaintance
we made during our stay in Tennessee
last year, We found him to be not
only a specimen of the true Irish gen
tleman, but a truly loyal and enlight
ened American citizen. To us, he
was more like a brother than a friend,
and never while memory endures,will
we forget the deep interest he mani
fested in our welfare and the many
pleasant hours we spent with him and
his interesting family.
Oh! that the country was full of
just such men and fenians as he.
After giving us some news of an in
dividual and congratulatory character,
he says :
"I see by the report of the last
Permian Congress held in Philadel
phia, that there is a "Circle" in your
town, and that it was represented in
the Philadelphia Congress. I expec
ted to be there myself, but through
some unvoidable circumstances was
not able to attend. You can tell the
FENNIANS of your town, if you know
any of them, to be of good cheer. We
men of the South will not be behind
in the march, and while we work and
fight for Our own liberties and the em
ancipation of our beloved IRELAND,
we are are also willing to concede to
others what we clams for ourselves.
The Republican party is again split
into factions in Memphis. Judge
_Hunter on one side, and ED. SHAw
on the other; but I think Hunter
will win. The Irish vote will go for
Hunter, no matter what his poli
tics may be, that is, all that can ap-.
predate honesty and fair dealing."
"That political trickster, Andy
Johnson,will be here on the 14th inst.
A committee left here to meet him at
Nashville to-day. You must content
yourself for the present. I will let
you know all about the show in Mem
phis, when the Comedian fulfills his
engagement. I have not seen the
Programme yet ; - but I think it will
contain that old farce the "Devil
among the tailors" or perhaps that
great American drama "The Drunk
ard."
We will wait, impatiently, for a let
ter containing the full particulars of
Andy's performance - in Memphis.
And in the meantime we avail our-
selves of this opportunity, to say to
th c FENIAN& of__Bell3fon te as welL as
to -the Brotherhood both North and
South, that all your hopes must prove
abortive, unless you can secure them
through the great Republican party
of America. The course pursued by
. A. Johnson while President, backed
by the sham Democratic party, and
their conduct to. the FENTANS since
their earliest organization, should af
ford you sufficient proof of the hypo.
crisy and insincerity of the leaders
and politicians of that disloyal and
free-trade—English-loving party.
We sympathise with the Fenians.
We wish them success. They have
a great work to do. They have a
powerful opposition to overcome.
They have to encounter all the force,
power and strategy of the English na
tion, while at home they meet with
opposition both from the Catholic
and Protestant churches. Nerve your
arms,strengthen your hearts,and hope
in God, ye'noble men, engaged as you
are, in the great work of emancipat
ing Ireland, from English mis-rule,
slavery and chains ; and the ameliora
tion, and enlightenment of your race
in America.
. FREE TRA_DE.—A free trade paper
inadvertently makes the following
strong, although unintended, argu
ment for protection : "It seems that
the exodus of French Canadians to
this country is steadily increasing of
late, and that at no similar period
within the last twelve years has there
been such a large and continuous em
igration cf agriculturists. A Mon
treal paper says that the number now
leaving weekly by way of that city is
over five hundred, and that the great
majority are young men. The French
Canadians are an industrious and hon
est people, and in a very short . time
make excellent American citizens.
They are rather backward in 'some
respects, owing to the old depressive
jaws of the Province and its priestly
domination; but it only needs a brief
residence in this country to put them=
alongside of any other class of the
population in enterprise and
Bence.
The farmers of Canada enjoy com
parative free trade and cheap British
fabrics. Yet they prefer the nearer
market-and better prices on our side
of the line. The flow of population
hitherward has generally been strong
est when our tariff was highest. This
is a significant and undeniable fact.
IT is.stated that the President is be•
coming so disgusted at the efforts to
- blacken the characters of applicants for
office by rivals for the same positions,
that hereafter he will consider these
aspersions as recommendations,ou the
ground that Hate like Death., "loves
a shining mark."
Ex GOVERNOR CURTIN was ap
pointed by President Grant and con
firmed-by the IT. S. Senate, as Minis
ter to Russia. This will be good
news to his friends in this county and
State.
Republicans—friends of freedom
and equal-rights in Centre county,
what are you doing? Have you de
termined to make one more effort to
redeem Centre county from the mis
rule of the sham Democracy? Are you
working in good earnest to hurl from
power the "Court House ring," com
posed of men the most unscrupulous,
who have so long abused your patience,
and who, in order to enrich themselves,
have increased your county taxes from
2i- to 71 mills on the dollar? Remem
ber that ''eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty." If you would redeem Cen
tre county—if you would hurl from
power and place the who have so
long misrepresented the people—who
stealthily wormed themselves into office
while the true men of the county were
in the army fighting to save the life of
the nation, you must be like the good
sentinel, found at your post, ready to
do, or to die, rather than let the ene
my surprise you, or strike down the
principles and men you espouse and
advocate. Your cause is just. It is
the cause of equal rights to all—the
cause of God and humanity. • Acquit
yourselves like men. Organize with
out delay, and prepare for the coming
contest. Hundreds of good, honest
men, who have heretofore acted and
voted with the sham Democracy, are
beginning to see the hollowness and
hypocrisy of that organization. They
desire to join the victorious hosts of
the Republican party. They see and
feel that it was the Republican party
that saved the nation. They realize
that the Democratic party, by its op•
position to the war, by its sympathy
with the rebels all through the bloody
conflict, has disgraced itself, and lost,
forever, the confidence of the people.
They do not wish this disgrace to fol
low them and their children. Hence,
they desire now to leave that organiza
tion, lead on, as it is, by dishonest and
disloyal men. Republicans of Centre,
extend to these men the right hand of
fellowship. Open wide your doors,
and bid them welcome. Organize
without delay, and remember, if you
do not triumph in Centre county, the
fault is yours, and you must bare the
blame. •

The Work of Restoration.
The appeal of President Grant,says
the Hord:, American, has met with a
promp and gratifying response by the
passage by Congress of the bill re
ported by the House Reconstruction
Committee to provide for the submis
sion to a popular vote in Virginia,
Mississippi and Texas of the consti
tution framed by the reconstruction
conventions of those States. Before
the message of the President was
sent_in it seemed utterly impossible to
get either branch 5-2 ri"- -
on this subject "of reconstruction. A
majority of the Republicans favored
it steadily, but the recusant minority
united with the Democrats to post
pone action. President Grant's mes
sage was sustained by the leading or
gans of Republican sentiment with
singular unanimity. Indeed it advo
cated a policy which many of them,
like ourselves, had been earnestly urg
ing upon Congress. .
We are pleased to find that Con
gress in the act just passed, has re
quired the three unreconstructed
States named above to ratify the 15th
amendment to the national constitu
tion as a condition of readmission.
These three States lost their powers
and prerogatives as States of this
Union by their own acts, and 'after
waging a long, desperate and bloody
war against the republic, resulting in
their conquest and submission, there
is no harshness or injustice in our
stipulating that before coming back
into Congress, where they were so
long the causes of infinite trouble,
they shall accept the full citizenship
of all Americans, without regard to
race or complection. Their attempts,
subsequent to the war, to establish an
abominable system of caste, depriving
the freedmen of all civil and political
rights, were sufficient to show how
unfafe it would be to trust these States
again with power to oppress any por
tion of their own people or ours.
In the course of the debate in the
Senate on Mr. Morton's amendment,
it was vehemently urged that it wl'd
be a breach of faith to add a new con
dition after having previously agreed
upon a different arrangement. We
can see no breach of faith about it;
Mississippi rejected the offer by a
popular vote, and has acted in such a
manner as to deserve no other term
than such as we now offer. The peo
ple of Texas have annoyed and em
barrased the authorities in the work
of reconstruction to such an extent as
to have rendered it imprudent to take
a vote in the State: But the Presi
dential election is over, and the'rebels
have seen the Ritter folly of building
any hopes upon Democratic schemes,
and there is really a chance to make
reconstruction permanently success
ful.
The Carolinas, Tennesage„Mplama,
Florida, Arkansas and Louisiana are
working 41oug very well under the
system, and becoming habituated to
the reconstructed basis of society,and
there is
. no good reason .why the other
States should not be also. There has
really been Very little disorder in
ginia since the close
. of the war, and
the people deserve praise for having
accepted peace in a far better temper,
after their brave struggle, than some
of the other southern States whose
people did less fighting in the war.
We look forward to the restoration
cf Virginia as certain to bring back
into our councils the State which is
the natural leader of the south ; and
Organize.
ir* i'Leongvasig , to aet
has been'so from the date of our sec
tional difficulties. The influence of
the Virginia Representatives upon
the rest of the South cannot be other
wise than wholesome, and, therefore,
if we want peace, we must avail our.
selves of that influence. We are not
afraid of a reorganization of the south
in Congress as a formidable political
element. On the contrary, in the ab
sence of slavery and caste, we think
such an organization would, restore a
wholesome sectional balance, and give
us Pennsylvanians sonic sort of a
chance of defending our own interests,
threatened as they constantly are by
adverse elements.

FESTIVAL. Refreshments will be
served by the ladies of the Lutheran
Congregation in the room formerly

Monday and Tuesday evenings next.
Dinner on Tuesday from 12 to 2 o'-
clock. A splendid steel plate engrav

are to be devoted to the benefit of
their church recently purchased, and
it being the first enterprise of this de
scription ever presented to the public
on the part cf the Lutheran Congrega

WE call the attention of our read
ers to the communication from Pine
Grove Mills, advocating the re-nomi
nation of Gov. Geary. Who will be
the next to speak ? This is the prop
er time to discuss the merits of candi
dates. We have great faith in the
people, and if the delegates to the
State Convention are properly in
structed, and faithfully carry out
those instructions, we have no fears
for the result. They will give us the
very best man, and then with har
mony in our ranks, we will achieve a
triumph in . October next, in the old
Keystone, that 'will eclipse all our
former glorious victories.

EDITORS REPUBLICAN : —A few days
ago received the first copy of Rn-
PUBLICAN which, 'though new, yet
seemed as an old friend, telling much
of home, and in gratitude for .the gift
of it, your humble correspondent will
make an effort to interest its: .patrons
with a few truthful deliniations .of
Rocky Mountain life and scenery; and,
without more of a prelude, will state
that, in the summer of 1866, in com
pany with other "rolling stones that
gather no moss," we left the terminus
of civilization, a three:day's_ journey
in Kansas, and commenced our long
pilgrimage toward Montana,, hopeful
soon to delve in the ravines and in the
mountain sides, for a portion of the
millions of gold, which lies buried be
neath her soil, but perchance our gol
den dreams to end in a nameless grave,
among the thousands who slumber
here and there on the great plains.
To give a description of the plains
would simply be to "re-hash" the pro
duction of some abler writer; therefore,
will only say to your readers that no
description can convey to them a full
conception of their vastness, for, indeed
so many thousands of miles-in- length
and breadth are they, that 'distance
makes them a. monotonous sameness,
) aching to the eyes, the only relief, a
sight now and then of buffalo; the coy
and the swift-footed antelope.
With the tedious mode of traveling
by wagon train, it was over a week
from the time we first saw the Rocky
Mountains until our arrival at their
base. To see them from afar off on
the plains, they present the grandest
sight,l venture to say,that mortal eyes
can view. The long waste of yellow
plain blends in lurid hue with - the at
mosphere, completely concealing the
foot of the mountain, leaving but their
huge snow-capped tops visible above
the clouds, which, from so great a dis
tance, seem as mighty pyramiils, cast
ing into utter insignificance the piles of
stone and lime, =soiled by map.
the shifting sands of Egypt, for they
will sink anon, to be known in
history, while these will stand, in sub
lime grandeur, throughout the endless
ages of time. -
Leaving the stage-route at Bitten
creek valley, we depart from all the
habitations of man, say •,now and then,
the crossing of- some filthy abode hov
el, the shelter of a renegade French
ro:"..,t, with his three or four squaw
wives and whole troops of - Monkey
looking little half-breeds, all of whom
'tis hard to tell how he supports, un
less through his "-Red Brother,;" by
the blood-letting of emigrants. Of the
great number who have fallen. by. the
Indian's arrow and tomahawk, nine
tenths, in truth, could be imputed to
these so-called "frontiersmen" WhO co
habit with the Indian, buy hinaw
daughters, plunder.and paltrieS in re
-turn, smuggling him rum, powder and
bullets; spying out information.as to
the strength and wealth of a train, so
that his wily ally may, fifty or a hun
dred miles off, hunt down their com
mon prey. So long as our Government
permits these • people to scatter out
among the Indian tribes, so long will
our " irrepressible conflict" out here
continue. Contrary to . these assertions
there are many here who, from preju
dice, give a different phase to our pres
ent Indian troubles, and but a few ydars
ago applauded the unwanton butchery
of peaceable Banuacks by lawless men,
in the midst of a populous mining town,
and yet before twelve months had pass
ed were compelled to hang these same
men for crimes so black that the re
hearsal of them would livid even the
dusky cheek of our aboriginal neigh
bor, bad as he is.
Thirty-seven miles above the mouth
of the Republican river, we arrived at
a watering place simultaneous with a
squaw camp of Sioux, numbering forty
lodges, who were moving back for safe
ty—their warriors being then engaged
with the Cheyennes for tresspassing on
their hunting grounds. Straggling out,
the line of ponies extended over a mile,
each being burdened with squaws and
papooses, and slung to either side of
them the waikyup poles,whose clatter
ing noise seemed to time with the even
trot of their carriers. The van and rear
were led and brought up by the Sach
ems of the tribe—the old men who
have lost their youthful vigor, and are
left with nought to do but squat beside
the wigwam fire and "dream their glo.
ries o'.er."
After a week of weary travel thro'
Bitter creek valley—" the Valley of
Death"--where the alkali infects the
water and oozes up the ground, white
ning the surface like little patches
of snow, giving tortuous death to man
and brute—we arrived at the foot of
Snake River mountain, and, leaving
the train, wound our way up the pre
cipitate and labyrinthean pass until we
reached the summit, and stood, for the
first time, upon Rocky Mountain. Here
was a, grandly imposing .scene—far be
hind us lay the mighty plains, spread
from right to left, and front, farther
than the eye could.reach, until imagi
nation seemed to have them kiss the
clouds and sky. Far down before us
lay the winding sluggish "Snake Riv
er," in a broad and fertile valley; and
near the Great Lake and Falls of Shos
hone nestling at the foot of a -moun
tain whose frowning . old grey rocks
towered, in a cresent shape, above it a.
thousand feet or more. As we - gazed
upon this wild seen we wondered how
many cycles time had run before that
placid lake had been gazed upon by
. a
paleface, when none but they, as
wild -in nature , as it is in scene, had
been reflected upon its waters— the In-•
diau, buffalo and antelope upon the.
zrass-carpeted brink below, and the
soaring to his eyrie in the; rocks
above—when these Mighty Falls, ri
valing the Niagara,had'sent their thun
deringechoes through valley, 'chaims,
and over mountain, to_strike the nicks
and cliffs and echo baCk to Falls and
Lake again.
After days in hewing our way thro'
walls of snow on the mountain ranges,
and fording rapid rivers, we passed
across the boundaries of Montana, down
the last Canyon, and found home and
rest in the beautiful Passamari Valley.
Of this valley there is a tradition
among the B . annacks, Ponderays and
other Indian tribes, that,over a centu
ry ago, the snow fell to such a depth
that the tallest trees were almost hid
den ; all living creatures among the
mountains, on the highlands and in the
valley perishing from hunger and cold;
and upon the return of their ancestral
tribes in the spring, they found the air
ladened with a sickening stench, the
river gorged with floating carcasses and
its -waters literally turned to a thick
corruption; hence the name Passamari
or "Stinking Water." This legend,
until the spring of '6B, we supposed to
be nothing more than imaginary on the
part of the Indians, when, under the
guidance of a Bannack hunter, we 'vis
ited an extensive park, through which
three deep gullies had recently been
cut by the bursting of storm clouds on
the mountain above, and in them,from
two to three feet in thickness, lay im
mense layers of bones, at a depth of 15
to 20 feet; in many places, imbedded
in a stratta of solidified white clay, of
the lightness of carbonate' magnesia,
and supposed, by some Geologists, to
have been created of these bones thro'
the agency of oxcygenic minerals. In
this great hectacomb are to be found
bones of every specie of animal com
mon to the Rocky Mountains, and per
haps, too, of some classes now extinct.
On the western side of Passamari
Valley, towers up, in lone majesty, the
Ruby Mountain. separated from the
main ranges by levet table lands, and
deriving its name from a strange and
beautiful display of atmospheric colors
that play around it; ever blending and
changing—hue chasing hue from side
to side and top to bottom—in fancy,
seeming, at times,a gossimer veil,cov
ering the dark green forests in gold
a,nd . silver and rainbow tints. The on
ly water known to issue from this
mountain is a large hot spring which
conies up in a large volume, from a
great depth, and from its temperature
(nearly 200° F.) and the towering cliffs
of red gossan rocks above, many are of
the belief that it was the upheaval of
a volcano; and is now a mighty cavern,
perhaps containing unbounded wealth
and charming grottoes, in vastness far
beyond the conception of our imagina
tion. S. T. M.

EDITORS "BELLEFONTE REPUBLICAN."
You published in your last issue an
able communication from Benner set
ting forth the -propriety of our pres
ent Auditor General, John F. Hart
ranft, receiving the Republican nom
ination for Gorei nor. Your sensible
article urging the discussion of the
merits of candidates in order that the
convention may be induced to select
the best one meets our approval, and
we gladly avail ourselves of your of
fer of space in your columns for 'this
purpose, to set before your readers
our views with the reasons that led
us to them. '
Fully agreeing with Benner as to
the efficiency, integrity, and prudence
of Gen. Hartranft, we yet think that
Governor Geary should be renomi
nated. The nomination of the form
er we think is dictated, neither by
prudence nor principles, but in re
nominating the latter we think the
Republican party would act both
wisely and well.
While we accord to General Hart
ranft, the meed that is due to
. a wise
officer ; true patriot, and brave soldier,
it must be acknowledged that his mil
itary career was less brilliant than that
of Gen. Geary, and that his services
were less valuable to the State and to
the country at large. Not to specify
the varied brilliant exploits and valu
able services of Gen. &eery. whichare
so well known as to need no mention,
it is fit that we should allude to his
part in the great battle of Gettysburg,
which alone entitles him to the endur
ing gratitude of all Pennsylvania's
sons. His brilliant strategy and heroic
valor secured for the Union force the
possession of Roundtop, the great
stronghold of the battle-field. Had
not Gen. Geary taken possession of
this hill, and had it fallen into the
bands of the rebels, as would have
been the case had it not been for the
brave fighting of his division, and the
cool foresight of its intrepid comman
der, the result of the battle would
I doubtless have been adverse to the
Union army, and then—who shall tell
what would have Tollowed? We will
never be able to estimate the value of
General Geary's services on that occa
sion.
Governor Geary's private charac
ter, his advocacy of Temperance, his
christian zeal, and his sterling integ
rity commend him to the favor of all
the good and true. Private worth,
and sterling integrity are qualifica
tions that have been too much over
looked in the nominations of our can—
didates. But moral men are daily
awaking to a :sense of their duty in
this matter, and in October next they
will speak out in thunder tones their
approval of Governor .Geary's record
in this respect.
Such has been the wisdom, • hones-.
ty, economy, and success of Governor
Geary's administration that it de-
serves the recognition of a renomina
tion. Gem Hartranft's integrity and
fidelity received such a recognition at
LSO - andsof his party, and for his
faithfulness to duty. Goi: Geary de
serves a similar recognition. We are
proud of Gen. Hartranft's services,
both in his "military and in his civil
capacity. His prudence and integri
ty have been noted by our people.and
when the proper time shall come we
will all join heartily in saying to him
"Faithful public servant, come up
higher."
The question of availibility is not
one ,of grave importance now, as, with
any good man the Republican party
is sure to carry the State by u large
majority. Your correspondent fears
that Governor Geary "cannot unite
the various factions that will arise in
parties." Doubtless there are fac
tions each of which would prefer some
man who would become a pliant tool
in their hands, but to these persons
we think Gen. Hartranft would be lit
tle if any more acceptable. Weighed
in the balance and not found want
ing, tried and proved faithful and true,
the people will insist on Gov. Geary's
nomination. We know of no man
in our State whose personal populari
ty with the masses, is so great a: is
our noble and patriotic Governor.
Let him be placed in nomination and
in October we will sweep the Key
stone State like a whirlwind.
Yours truly,
