As drop by drop he places there From the deep exhaustless tide, lle wonders when the liquid clear Will mount the goblet's side.

The Old Rebel Spirit. Their Treasonable Utterances. GEORGIA READY FOR WAR. [From the Atlanta (Ga.) News.] Our only hope ii in a stern, resolute resistance—a resistance to the death if necessary, with arms in our hands. Let there be White Leagues formed in every town, village and hamlet in the South, and let us organize for the great struggle which seems inevitable. If the October elections which are to be held in the North are favorable to the Radicals the time will have arrived for us to prepare for the worst. The radicalism of the Republican party must be met by the radicalism of white men. We have no war to make against the United States Government, but against the Republican party our hate must be unquenchable, our war interminable and merciless. Fast fleeting away is the day for wordy protests and idle appeals to the magnanimity of the Republican party. By brute force they are endeavoring to force us into acquiescence to their hideous pro gramme. We have submitted long enough to indignities, and it is time to meet brute force with brute force. Every Southern State should swarm with White Leagues, and we should stand ready to act the mo ment Grant signs the civil-rights bill. If the white Democrats of the North are men they will not stand idly by and see us borne down by Northern Radicals and half-barbarous negroes. But no mat ter what they may do it is time for us to organize. We have been temporizing long enough. Let Northern Radicals under stand that military supervision of South ern elections and the civil rights bill mean war, that war means bloodshed, and that we are terribly in earnest, and even they, fanatical as they are, may retrace their steps before it is too late. 'LET SLIP THE DOGS or WAIL At a meeting in St. Louis on Tuesday evening, A. P. J. Garesche, a prominent lawyer of that city, said : My sympathies are with this people, and my purse is open to them ; and if in their struggle the President dares to interfere, I say, "Let slip the dogs of war," and "damned be he who first cries, Hold, enough !" Ido not forget how Kellogg got into power, sneaking under the guns of a United States frigate, and he now slinks from the outraged people whom he has persecuted and oppressed, and sneaks into the United States custom-house, un der protection of Casey, the brother-in law of Ulysses I. I say, let him go, and let Grant provoke the contest. Let the President's minions beware, for they may be damned. After Mr. Garesche concluded, the chair man, General Shields, said : "Before I an nounce the adjournment of the meeting I wish to say that we know not what a day may bring forth. I ask you to go to your homes, prepared to come together at any moment, to assemble here again not only as you have to-night, but ten times the number. We know not what we may be called upon to do to aid our suffering brethren in Louisiana, but I am sure from the manifestations you have made to-night that whatever the call may be, if it is in furtherance of right and justice, and op pressions, the people of St. Louis and cit izens of Missouri will never ihil to respond to it." MURDER JUSTIFIED, [From the Shreveport Times.] The corrupt and incompetent officials of Natchitoches, Lincoln, and other parishes ought to have been got rid of by legal means; but there was no possibility of reaching them through the machinery of the government, and the people were jus tifiable in resorting to the law of self-pro tection and forcing them to abdicate. The six carpet-baggers of Red River parish ought to have been arrested, tried, con victed, and punished through the courts of the State, but the courts of the State were their creatures and instruments, and the people rightfully judged, condemned, and punished them. WHAT TOOMBS SAYS. At a meeting to sympathize with the Louisiana rebels, held in Atlanta on Tues day, Robert Toombs said : He opened his address with an imme diate onslaught on the Government at Washington. He said it was the vilest, the most corrupt and dishonorable admin istration any government had suffered since the birth of Christ. They had inflicted on the Southern States, for the last nine years, humiliation after humiliation, without ces sation. Poor Louisiana has been robbed of everything she had. Her Governor was ejected, her legislative halls had been filled with thieving scoundrels from the North, ready to do the bidding of their wicked masters. They Lad bowed meekly to insult after insult until nothing was left for them to do but rise and strike or die in their chains. That sickly cry of "Let us have peace," came back as the only answer to their pleadings. The Bible commands us, HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1874. "Let us first be true and then peaceable," and I say to you we can have no peace until the corrupt and villainous invaders are driven out of the State. His whole heart and soul were with the people of Louisiana, and he would take a hand with the boys of Atlanta to prevent troops pass ing through that city to interfere with the down-trodden in their struggle for jus tice. He continued : I am an outlawed man, ostracised from my country, but I say to you that had I been as true to my God as I have to my country I should be better prepared to meet my final account. --.............21.• Our New York Letter. The Last Fraud—Real Estate—Beer— litnerals— Cremation— Beecher- Tilton —The Graphic—Business. NEW YORK, Sept.. 28, 1874. A NEW FRAUD. If the dishonest men would give to hon est employment half the shrewdness they do to their swindling schemes, they would be the richest men in the world. For cer tainly the genius wasted in roguery, that always ends badly, could not but pay largely in any legitimate business. The last dodge in thievery has just been un earthed, and a most ingenious dodge it is. A scoundrel sailing under the alias of Walker, a few months ago, went to work and deliberately forged conveyances of real estate belonging to the estate of a man who has been dead five years. He made deeds from Isaac Young, the aforesaid de ceased, to himself, of land worth $50,000, and went with them to the Register's of fice and had them recorded. Of course this was all regular, for the registery clerks have no means of knowing whether Isaac Young is a live or a dead man. The con veyances put upon record, Walker takes them and goes into the street to negotiate a loan upon them. He finds a man who has money to loan upon real estate. The Register's books are examined, the con veyances are all clear, the money is loaned. Walker disappears. Of course the fraud is discovered after the lapse of a week or two, and Walker is arrested, and will go to Sing Sing. Now, it strikes me that a mind capable of conceiving and executing so magnificent a piece of villainy ought to know that legitimate business is its proper field. What combinations could not such a genius efl'ect in dry goods ! If that man had to be a rogue, why did he not go to Wall Street, or get into pol itics in this city? These are safe fields for such geniuses, where there is ample scope for scoundrel ism without risk. But they never do it. When Walker gets out of Sing Sing he will get into a similar transaction in a week, and go up again. Such men only keep out of prison a few weeks at a time. When in quod, they devise schemes that invariably takes them back again. Speak ing of Sonic of it New York has a value despite the terrible depression. Mr. R. A. Witt hous has sold to the Union Dime Savings Bank, for $275,000, the plot of land on the southerly side of Thirty-second street, between Broadway and Sixth avenue. The buildings are of little value, and formed no part of the value. The lots front on the triangular public place at the inter section of Broadway and Sixth avenue, 42 feet on Broadway, 40 feet on Sixth avenue, and about 100 feet on Thirty-second street. The price is at the rate of $175,000 for a lot of the usual size. Mr. Witthaus paid $45,000 for the property about twenty years ago. Isn't that rather a steep price for so small a piece of earth ? At this rate, what is New York worth ? BEER. The Germans are up and in arms. Wed nesday last three thousand saloon keepers met in council, and resolved that the li cense laws must be repealed, and that the traffic in beer must be treated the same as any other business, and also that this ques tion must go into politics, and be made an issue. The beer interest in New York is one that has possitive power, and of course politicians will be found who will recog nize it. The German element is immensely strong here, and on the question of free beer and the right to drink it Sundays as well as other days it is almost an unit.— They do not like to be driven out of the city for their Sunday recreations, and they will make a vigorous fight for what to them is a vital matter. This question is one of the disturbers that come up every little while to vex the souls of politicians. The American religious element is inflexibly opposed to the violation of the Sabbath. the German is as inflexibly determined to spend it as he pleases. Imagine the per plexity of the ambitious politician in whose district these elements are about even ! Won't lie have a splendid opportunity for dodging ! EXPENSIVE FUNERALS. Under the present system, it costs from $5O to $l5O to bury a corpse in the most modest way. The most exorbitant prices are charged for coffins and the accompani ments, all of which are paid without a question, for no man can ask prices over the dead body of one loved and lost. Then come carriages, price of lot, etc., all of which makes a sum that is oppressive to a poor man or one in even modern circum• stances. The Germans have a society for doing away with all this. They have ta ken up the idea of cremation, and propose to bring it into vogue. They are building a ball 60x•10 feet, fitted with an altar at which religious ceremonies may be had.— Back of this altar is to be a furnace capa ble of being heated to I,ooo°, which melts soft plates in the metal coffin enclosing the remains, which heat will reduce the re mains to ashes in an hour and a half. And all this can be done for $B, which is bring ing burial expenses within reach of the poorest. The Germans will take this idea and act upon it, for this people have not the reverence for ancient forms that the Americans possess, and the form of dis posing of remains is in entire consonance with their ideas of the fitness of things.— And who knows but after it has become a common practice among the Germans it may be adopted by the rest of mankind ! Tilton's last statement, which appeared Friday, has stirred up this mess once more. Public opiuion in the city has once more. veered to Tilton, and it will probably stay there till Beecher makes a statement, when it may shift to him. Tilton gives the world nothing new in the matter, but he ex• plains the why of very much of it. For instance, in answer to the question why, after permitting his wife's infidelity to re main a secret with him four years. he gave it to the world, Ile says that had Elizabeth remained with him, and the church had let her alone he never should have divulg ed it. But she left him for the purpose of testifying against him, and in sheer self-defense he was compelled to give the REAL ESTATE, BEECIIER-TILTON .. terrible truth to the world. Moulton's statement is a crusher, and has produced a profound impression. He fastens his form er statements and makes his case very cleverly. Now what will Beecher do ? Are we to have more statements ? He has said that he will not open his mouth or put pen to paper on this subject again, but will trust to the courts to clear his skirts. Thank heaven, for no matter who is in fault the people are tired of the whole mat• ter. Let us hope it will be settled one way or another, and that quickly. speaking of this affair, it is gratifying to notice the frankness and fairness with which the Daily Graphic has treated this matter. Without disguising its own con clusions, from the reports of both sides, presented in its columns with an enter prise which made some of the slow coach papers, in self-defense, profess old Queen Annie's horror of gossip, it has comment ed on the sad affair in a tone befitting gen tlemen, an example which some of its un successfull contemporaries might have fol lowed up with much credit and more grace. The way in which zealots on both sides have carried on the skirmish renders it a sure thing that nobody comes out of the scrimmage with a clean coat. That the Graphic has shown more wit and less tem per in its share of the sport may be charg ed to the fact that its editorial columns are in the hands of gentleman, made such by virtue of breeding and sympathies, as well as position ; who know how to hold liberal views and express them fully, while keep ing them out of the mire. And I may say that it is the controlling fore* of this quiet gentlemanhood which makes the Graphic such a favorite family paper both in and out of the city. The rare ability of D. G. Croly, its managing editor, and the enterprise and tact of the Brothers Good sell, have made the Graphic a great sue less. BUSINESS Does not pick up as I (and everybody else) hoped. The city is full of merchants; the hotels arc not only crowded but over-crowd ed but they do not buy. The South is buying small stocks, very small, but the West, so far, is only sorting up. The merchants all say they intend to buy large ly, but they are waiting to see what the condition of things is to be. In short, with wheat at the price it is, they are afraid to venture. Possibly they are right; but the importers and jobbers, who have stocks ou hand, don't see it. And the summer has slipped away, we are fairly into the fall, and the goods are all in the '•original packages." lam speaking now of the wholesale trade. The retail trade in the city looks somewhat hopeful this month, and will keep its cheerful face, for the people have money, if the trade only have sense to adopt the rule of the leading house in America, namely, to do away with fancy prices for any class of goods, however now or fashionable, and bring the most tempting articles at once within the reach of ordinary buyers. Nevertheless, the city will see a great deal of distress this winter. There has been no building and labor of any kind this summer, that the working-men have not been able to keep anything ahead, and when the frost puts its embargo on out door work there is going to be an amount of destitution and actual suffering that the city never saw before. lleven help the poor this winter. And let me put in a warning here to young men—keep out of New York this fall and winter. There me thousands upon thousands of unemployed men in every possible department of labor. There are one hundred appicants for every vacancy. Except upon a sure thing, stay where you are, if you can earn bread and clothes. PIETRO. Miscellaneous News Items. Mosquitoes are troubling London.

Notes of Travel. TANGENT. OREOO,II, h;eptember 21, 157.1. j MR. EDITOR :—We have endeavored to give some idea of this country as a farming section, but it also presents novelty of sce nery and territory to the pleasure seeker . At any time a spectacle of true grandeur will meet the gaze, in both the Cascade and Coast Mountains. The cones of eter nal snow, which dot the green heights of the President's range of mountains, rise on the dark outline of the distant lands and hang glittering in the sky like Wands of precious stones, so bright do they shine in the setting sun, and so completely do the soft clouds around their base seem to sep arate them from the world below. When the wind blows down from these snow fields, tempering the heat of a dazzling sun, you long for a si...ta in their cooling shadow. Since we have hiei a trip tai Mary's Peak, the highest pint in the Coast range, a PAT days ago, we will try and give your readers some idea with what exertion the pure air of these peaks are breathed. Not many persons make the ascent of this fir famed peak, deterred pertly from lack of strength, and the difficulties of the journey. Our party consisted of three. and with a 1,,00d supply of blankets and provisions we set out in a wagon, to com plete the first day so much of the journey as could be done in this way. Twelve o'clock the next day f eund us: with horses packed and all ready to begin the ascent. We left the wagon road and took a narrow trail which struck directly into the mountains, and one Kitt C inset) would have thought too narrow to climb the "Delectable Mountain. — Our horses were forced, with great difficulty, to take the trail, seeming to know the terrible pull that awaited them. hided it was a ter rible pull, for we hail not made many hun dred yards before onr leases stopped. gasping for breath. The trail entered a forest of fir and pine, over the tops of which we now and then could catch glimpse of' the peak. An interminable forest surrounded us during the liret four oe five miles. la this distance a fez knobs or projections from the Uric of a<- cent fltvored the poor beasts for awhile. but it was not long before this ceased, and the terrific slant of the mountain presented itself, unrelieved, to be overcome. And now picture to yourself three ants clam bering up a church spire, awl you have our party making this last ascent. The trail was a mere mark in the gravelly soil. leading us a cork-screw kind of a journey up the side of the peak. where a stone loosed by the foot would find no rest until it reached the level of the valley.' and should sour horse loose his footing, he too would rest at the foot or the peak. Such a climb ! If any skeptic is at all doubtful of the Darwinian theory. let him at once be convinced of our antediluvian ancestry or try to scale Mary's Peak. On up we toiled, stopping every tenth step to rest, and breathe; up, up to the regions of ever lasting snow. And now we have reached the most difficult part of our jaurney. where the rocks seem over.hanging. and you feel as it' the slightest breeze would waft you into the clptels and eter nity. Slowly, and in single file. stopping every two minutes to lean upon our lierse's neck and gasp for breath, we climbed up. taking heart that this was our last hard pull. After nearly three miles of this kind of travel, when strength. hope and courage were on the point of giving out. the steep suddenly flattened. and a keen wind blew over the summit of the peak. All the danger and difficulty is forgotten in the magnificent scene that greets our vision on all sides. To our surprise we found, what had seemed a peak. an area of nearly six hundred acres, when below we feared there would not be standing room for three. Beneath us lay the whole world outspread. For the first time we doubted the spherical shape of ear planet Surely the vast plains, down yonder. stretched on and on straight to the rising sun, and but for the mystical vapors tinged with faint colors rising far at the horizon we must see the Sierra mountains, once so stupendous in our untraveled eye, but now how infinitely small. We were in shadow as we sat in `-solemn and gazed, spell-bound, on the wondrous scene beneath. The sun had sunk behind the ocean in full view on the west. leaving the valley at the immediate base of the range in shadow. anl it glowed in a golden halo of sunshine. Here and there rose fantastic shadows, which grew broader and taller, until the world below w:.4 cov ered with a misty pail, and all nature was "tucked in" for the night. Anti still we sat in that awful solitude, feeling as Nwsh must have felt when the waters went down from the face of the earth, fearing to move or speak lest we break some mighty spell that had Nile] upon us. Ittrning to the west we saw the sun set with refulgent splendor behind the mighty Pacific. Is it heaved and swelled like the pul,t2s of some mighty nation. It was heaving at onr feet: Steadily wave on wave came and went, and following each other in claseless march, pressed onward, as if intent to reach the solid shores where some resistance would broach their hidden strength, anti pour their fury out. By and by the stars came out, just as they did at home, only they came nearer and were a thousand fold brighter, and made one think that heaven was not so very far off after all. We now lariated our horses, and after re freshing ourselves with a cup of coffee and some biscuit. spread two blankets upon the ground to try to sleep. No use in trying to sleep, however, with the moon shining full in your face, so we lay awake imagin ing all sorts of wierd fancies. At four o'- clock we rose from a fitful slumber anti beheld faint roseate streaks of light down in the East. We never realized how fast "Old Sol"-swung 'round the circle" until standing above him we waited for his corning, heralded by long. amber-colored rays that shot up into the sky like the Aurora Borealis, then a rosy hue spread all along the horizon a::d the king of day made his appearance. After taking a re freshing breakfast we bade adieu to Mary s Peak, and began to descend to the terrestrial regions. Here let me add that it' a cast-iron back with a hinge is good for gardening purposes, (1 forget whether or no this is one of Greeley's axioms.) east steel knees would most admirably serve the pursose of descending peaks. It was as difficult to get away from the peak as it had been to attain it, and after two hours of toilsome descent we looked back and found the hoary head but a few rods dis tant. But we toiled on, footsore and weary, and like that valiant army of "forty thou sand men'" marched down the bill in tri umph, though we were then only experi encing the real difficulties of the trip.
