llJSfcg OrCTBHirO. 'Arranger visiting. Scotland with precon ceived conceptions of the austerity of the na tional character would bo strangely staggered In thepi in coming upon a jovial “rink”oi curlew. \ ?', Very do its ddniirors affectionately, christen it “the roaring game.” In Scotland every sheet ’ of water lies, of course, in hilly ground, and he must hear the players long before he sees them; All lusty men in the. prime and vigor oflife— for even the old and the ailing are regenerated and rejuvenated for the day—they turn put h prepared to be uproarious.' With the air so ' calm and crisp that a child’s whisper it-,-, might- be heard a mile away,; and while , the faihtest crack Of the ice rings like a ; pistol shot, it is <Zc riyueur to bellow, "he j “skip,” or captain,' who stands by the mark to . issue his orders to the men only some forty i yards removed frem him, bawls as if he were « shouting for a life-boat from the deck of a yes sel in the breaker's.; Nor is silent obedience ' ■ the order of the day in the ranks, and the players hail back to him in equally stentorian tones. Every man is equipped with a volumrn *• oils broom to sweep the path should .the stone show signs of dragging. The: stone delivered 1 . glides smoothly and more or less swiftly for • ward with its dull munnuring sound. On * reaching the line where it becomes allowable ’ to apply the brooms, if there seems an absence " of powder,its watcliful friends are galvanized into supeinatural energy, while the uuuecessary ciiorus of “soop her up” wakens the echoes in the adjoining parishes3*-and parishes are large in Scotland. Then a curling holiday is kept - without arriirepensce,a.nd very much as a mat ter ofreligion. The keenairS the emulous ex® citement, the sense of recreating With a con science vpid of offence, all unite to intoxicate ’ the players, till at length elder and deacon, the ’’ entire kirk session, and perhaps the minister to / boot, lords, lairds, farmers aud laborers, cast t all serise of dignity, not'to say decorum, to the * ground, and dance upon it in the lightness of f their spirits. It is interesting to see the stifl .4 set Scotch features gradually expand, '•f the tight-drawn wrinkles of. the mouth .a relax,the'gray eye kindle and beam,illuminated ■ bv the joviality within, the very cheek dini n' pie. Had Sidney Smith ever assisted at a curl '£■ ing match ■ lie must have recanted that heresy V of his about Scotchmen being unsusceptible to 4- humor. To bo sure., a good deal may pass current in the circumstances that would scarcely bear subsequent Criticism,-as the man ner ofx\rteuius IVaid’s lecturing eked out its matter. Yet enough would remain after a long winter of curling, could it only be collected, to give Dean Ramsay materials for another of his volumes. One touch bfhard frost in Scotland makes the whole world kin, setting them all by the earn iu amicable contest. Each parish and village lias its curling club. Challenges lly about thick as snowballs round the doors of the parish school, and the long-standing peaceful feuds are re ferred to their annual arbitration.' The stakes • are honor, and generally a subsequent banquet of beef and greens.’ That is the regular curler's fare, and it lias the advantage that it taxes un duly neither the purse of the loser nor the talent of the.country Soyer. The cookery is simple, and if it is careful must be successful. The chef is encouraged by the knowledge that the men he caters for are. all con noisseurs in the dishes he provides. He jserves strictly an .natiirel, for in the course of tiie day each guest lias found his own sauce on the ice. They intimate approval in practical fashion, aud the quantity consumed is stupendous. One sees rare feats of strength and capacity at Southern harvest , homes. But appetites seem to wax as you go to the northward, and we should say a Scotch curler in good form occupies the mean between an English, laborer at Ills’ aimual assignation ■ with the roast beef and plum pudding and an Esquimaux feasting 011 blubber at his visitors ’ expense. The drink is-strong and simple as the meat is plain. -Inebriety is strictly discour aged. Indeed, those seasoned brains, strength ened by air, exercise and a heavy dinner, must drink deep before they reach the limits of, temptation. As tumbler ,after tumbler of strong sweet toddy goes down, you would say those , respectable Calvinists ought to seek vtheir ap propriate future in the Northern Valhalla. The best of them would come off not discredi tably had they followed Thor in his leng pull at the yEsir’s horn. Then they have always— what goes a long way to make a pleasant even ing—a common interest and subject. Peer or . peasant, every one is for the time being wild over curling; and although the place of honor in the chair may be yielded to the great man in the parish, yet skill asserts itself, and the most skilful curler is the most respected man. Very possibly he is a Laborer, who wears over patched corduroys ■ the high collared ancient black coat handed dowu'from his grandfather, and with a marked ilavor of the chest in which it reposes from Sabbath to Sabbath. Memory is a faculty which might be supposed almost dormant in the most of them from lack of use, yet every man remembers, or swears he remembers, each shot that lias been played in that eventful day. Then there are the matches of past years to be referred to, and the weather, for once, fur nishes a topic equally natural and engrossing as they meet season after season; the “great frosts” marked with white stoneirandtho.se melancholy “ Green Yules” that topped the eurliug and filled the neighboring church yard. After all, if you do somewhat exceed in the ' boiled beef, the Islay, or the Glenlivet, to-morrow,should the frost hut hold, it will give you plenary absolution. But that element of uncertainty which is so apt to mix gall in the cup of the curler—will the weather last Watches must be concerted beforehand, and vour sport is the sport of the capricious elements. Travelers from Perth to Stirling may have observed among its somewhat sad siuToundiugs a meadow stretching by the-line, evidently meant to be flooded on occasion. iOu those few acres of ground are concentrated annually in Scotland for a season the 'hopes and fears of half its manhood. ■ That is the battle lake Where the an nual matches are , contested between the players of the North and the players of tlie South. It is needless to say that nature, being a woman, loves to throw over those who pin their aspirations to her, ’ and you may gene rally count on the day fixed for the Royal Caledonian Curling Club being singularly mild and open. But when she does deign to he propitious, frowning and chilling, tlie sight is one to repay tlie philanthropist or the student of manners for a long journey to tlie North. Moreover, if lie number Scotchmen atnoiij' his friends, on that day lie knows exactly where to look for them, and is sure to have a most cordial welcome from men in the fullest flush of health and spirits. FIjEMISH peasantry. I Correspondence of the London Glolr*.] There are certain contradictions apparent in the social condition of the Flemish peasants, more especially in the Pays do Waes, which the social economist would find it difficult to recon ’ cile. White on the one hand, even the best, to do among the small farmer's are badly nourished and deplorably ignorant (indeed, an eminent Belgian authority has laid it down that the ■ p ■ Flemish agriculturist is, perhaps, worse and i harder worked than any of his class throughout Europe), it is equally true, ' * on the other hand, that they are, for tire f most part, well clothed, comfortably lodged, 1 -and certainly manage to save raofley. As -y- ,a general rule, both tlie dwelling-house '-‘‘.s. and farm steading are scrupulously neat • and -5, clean once a year, attire period of .the Ker % messe or'village /e/e, the fomier being white >’ washed, - the roofing repaired, auil the. doors and shutters pointed of a bright green, iivory tiling lias its place, and there is-nothing ofthat It|t ihriftiess squalor visible wlne.li is so character-- istic of peasant life in. other parts. nf'Bolgium. Mi' Dluch of this probably arises from md-iouai f A .character.. A ' well-scrubbed floor and neatly It ; <Wercil shelves do not ailbrd any -,-ire: ui >i- cation of wealth in this world’s goods than the stockinglcss untidiness of 3 {jnotch farmer’s wife does of her lord's name figuring in the next list of bank rupts. Jlesidcs, when tlie overcrowding of the population within a limited area is considered;' ■ one is forcibly struck with the idea that- clean liness and tidiness are indispensable td the, well-being of the population. Of course therb are exceptions. Accompanied by the gentle men mentioned in my last lettef, Tvisited two cottages. One’was occupied by a couple of poor old women, of whpui it was . hard' tb Say upon what they depended for support, and wild admitted thatflioUgb Ithesummer was bear able the times in winter were very hard. Both the hovel and its inhabitants were wretchedly dirty and miserable. - The other Was the dwelling of a small farmer. The poor feb ■ low had but lately lost his wife, and when we entered lie .was'seated at dinner in company with a pale-faced little boy, his only child, and an ancient dame, who was either his own or iris deceased wife’s aunt. The food con sisted of a bowl. of buttermilk-—a universal dish—into which each of tire party dipped his or her iron spoon without ceremony, to which was added black bread and.a few. potatoes. Engaging my. companion to act'as interpreter, I entered into conversation with the head of the family. Upon every subject unconnected with the cultivation of the few acres of land lie rented his mind was a perfect blank. A life of uninteriiiittent labor probably ' left him little time for study of social or political sub 4 jects; but I question whether even the most ignorant model English laborer would be’ utterly unaware of the nature of the govern- 1 roent under which ho lived, or would not know, as tliis man did not, the name of the reignihg sovereign. Yet lie had saved money.' He had farmed the same land for about twelve years. His available capital on entering had been say £llO, and now, iucluding the furniture of liis house, his cow, fanning utensils, and something laid by in a stocking, he is worth over £2OO. That the agricultural classes in the Pays dd Waes and its immediate vicinity are deplorably uneducated in comparison not only with other countries but with other parts of Belgium, is admitted on all hands., Nor is the civil power to blame for this state of matters. ‘ In Belgium, wherever it is possible, any at tempt to provido education for the people, unaided by priestly management, meets with the most determined opposition on the part of; the clergy. Inclecd. it is almost impossible for. a stranger adequately fo realize either the ig norance of the general population or tlie power of the priestly influence by . which it is sus tained. If, however, the Flemish peasant is; devoid of intellectual stores, there is no doubt that lie succeeds in laying by more or less; money. It is difficult, in tlie face of Ills actual, condition, to account for what maybe almost, called a phenomenon. There are, however, two facts which limit be • borne in mind, the ■ consideration of '-which; may so far explain the problem. The; first is the inordinate desire of these people to; possess land in some shape or another, which, as a Belgian gentleman said to me the other day, almost amounts to maloti ie. The second, which probably takes its rise from the first, is the intense industry which, in his own country at least, is a Flemish characteristic. Tlie man who possesses no land of his own, toils and labors on that of another, denying himself and ; his family good food and nourishment,in order that he may one day, purchase an acre or two, and lie wlio already possesses a little is never satisfied until he lias got more. For tills, how ever, constant labor is indispensable. The earth is not ungenerous to those who treat her well, and thus it is, in spite of high rents, ex acting landlords, and constant competition, the Flemish tenant farmer., succeeds by frugality and self-denial, in laying by year bv year a portion .of the very small profit which remains to him after satisfying all demands upon the produce of tlie laud he cultivates. But to this end it is necessary that all hands should assist. The father with the sons and daughters work in the fields, the old women mind the house and ply their busy lingers 011 the lace. cushion, and the children rear rabbits for the London market to an extent that few persons are aware of. Every week thousands of large fat rabbits, ready skinned, are shipped from Qstend to be made into veal and ham pies for hungry cockneys. A few years ago the annual exportation of these animals amounted to a million and a quarter, and lias doubtless' in creased since that date. Their value amounted to more than £(10,000 without the skins, wliich are kept in the country to be made into hats. Going to mass and confession satisfy the'de mands of the Church. There is no time to spare for general education,.and thus it is that a certain amount of' material prosperity is obtained at tlie cost of poor living, miserable ignorance and utter stagnation in-, all that regards social 6r intellectual progress. By tlie way, there is another curious traffic carried on in frogs, wliich in tlie polders swarm in countless, numbers. Only the males are of any value, and while madame is left to console bereelf with another mate, Monsieur Cmpaud is carried off to England, where he re pays tlie inhumanity of bis kidnappers by de stroying insects in tlie market gardens in the neighborhood of London. In other parts .of Flanders, although the condition of the peasant differs little in many respects from that de scribed above, there can be no,.doubt but that his position is altogether, more comfortable. This is probably owing to the almost universal custom of granting leases, generally of nine years’ duration. champagne Wliere It is Made. A correspondent of the Journal of Com merce, writing from Rlieinis, gives the follow ing account of a visit to the champagne growing district: - The truth is champagne is of much more importance to the minds of Rheims .than is the cathedral. For it is the headquarters of the mercantile transactions in the article, and numerous large tiims are here located, whose names are widely known. • The city is not near to any vineyards. . On the contrary it stands in the midst of a rolling prairie, and’for miles in every direction tliere . is scarcely a tree, shrub or vine visible. The grain fields occupy all this country. On the hills, five or six miles distant, arc'the vines. I drove out this morning to fiillery and Ver zenay. We rode some eight miles over rolling piairie land, then entered among tljie,vines atiil descending agentle slope passed tinder tiie walls of the empty chateau of M. Jacquesson, and readied a solitary aitberye, witli the dry hush lianging in front of the door. A tidy looking woman came out of the inn, and /vvi; learned at once that this was raillery. Tliere is no village, and there are only one or two other houses near. The grapes had been gathered, the wine pressed, and all carried away to tire cores in Rheinis and Chalons and elsewhere. The landlady, however, produced at request a bottle of the sparkling product of the vine, and we drank it in the carriage,the best because the least sweet bottle of champagne I • have tasted in France; But the quality .of cham pagne is purely a matter, of individual taste, ; and no one who likes a dry bottle of St. Mar eeaux has any business to find fault with dip who prefers a sweet Cliquot. Both bottles are hut mixtures, and a man mig it as well criti cise another for liking four lumps of sugar in ills collee or his punch as to condemn him for taking the similar flavor in his mixed wine. | With original wine, the pure juice of the grape, j a hock, a Burgundy, a Bordeaux, it is different. I But m champagne each man lias as good a taste 1 as any other man, for the wine is purposely : made to suit all tastes—sweet for', the lover of : sweet, strong for the lover of strong, and dry ! for one who likes “only a little sugar.” ■ We di’ove on to Yerzenay, four-miles beyond •Sillery. among the vines on the hillside. This is a white-chalk village, beautifully situated, and the vines crowd tlie houses oil 'ail sides. ' We wanted something to eat, but tliere was uo inn in Verzenay, except one dirty little, place where a jolly red-faced Woman assured us sol emnly that her house was not lit for people Of our kind, and absolutely forbade ourentrancc, even had we been inclined to try it. So we drove b&ck toSlllery amthad a capital ideal la the aiiberge there."" The good woman gave us an omelette worthy the Trots Freros, .and a rabbit as large as a small lamb, and a bottle of .white,wine ofthe neighborhood that was de licious, and we finished with abundance of grapes,'.sweqtpi? the syvqqtest, champagne Abat is ’made'' from tliemi; Your' never saw grapes so small as some of. these of the cham pagne vines. . On the erupdf the bunch there are often ten or adozeli gfapes.'eacli of which is as - small as the smallest green pea, and withal as sweet as pure sugar. The general size of tlie graph is not much larger than a large pea. ■ Let noinan fancy that he can: come here, even to the Hotel Lion d’Or, and find cham pagnes, hr variety for his tasting. I verily be lieve that four different wines which I have ordered.here have beeii labelled after- receiving the order, and that each and 'every bottle was of the same manufacture. They were alike sweet and strong, yet one was served as St. Marceaux, anotlieras Mumm, another as Piper, and the last as Louis Koederer, l j You cannot buy a bottle.of the-old and gefmiiie firm of Roederer in Rheitns, as their wine is chiefly made for exportation. ■ In 1 tljg sinaller wine shops and in the Restaurants you Will get better wine than at the hotels,, The prices vary. At the hotels the regular price of a quart bottle of sparkling wine is from six. to’, twelve francs, according to brand. In the wine shops and cafes it costs from Tour to eight francs.

Hook, of Boston, the : celebrated organ-builders, have just completed ; a liew organ,which is now being put up in the IFiist Unitarian Church of this city, and will be finished, we understand, in about a week. The following is a schemo of the instrument: Two ; inauuales and dpedaie of two- octaves and two no : es; compass of ’ mUmales, fifty-eight not es; c-oriipass of liedale, twenty-seven notes. - Gnat J/amioft-yßourdon, open diapason, , dulc-iaiia, stopped diapason bass, melodid, oc ; tave, flute d’amour, twelfth, fifteenth, mixture, !.trumpet.

The organ Is Inclosed In a very beautiful black walnut Case, of Grecian design, with front, pipes of burnished block-tin, and, will occupy the whole height of the. gaUery, a width ,of bltecnfeet, and a depth of, fourteen feet. Though some* of the stops are divided iiito “bass” and “treble” for the convenience of the organist in combining them, !yet, With the ex ception pf .the clarionet, exclusively a solo stop, every stop, extends through the entire compass, a feature which organists cannot fall to appreciate. - The “ tedale” has a compass adequate to, the performance of all music written for the organ, and has three stops—the ' “open diapa son, 10 ft.,” of large scale, which forms a grand majestic boss for the “ full organ” and chorus effects; a“liourdon 10 ft.,” voiced by the Messrs. Hook's new : method, giving in place of the hard, breaking tones so often heard’from the larger “ stopped” pipes, a deep* pervading bass, well! suited for soft accompaniment; and a “Violoncello 8 ft.,” possessing a beautiful quality of lone jmitative of the instrument of this name. i There are two pedals for arranging combi nations of the stops of the “'great manuale,” thus giving the player control of the , registers without moving the hands from the key boards. ; , • , We understand it is the intention of. the musical committee,When the organ is com pleted, to give a concert in their ’ church. Several of our prominent organists have been engaged, and with the efficient choir of the church, cannot fail to give an attractive and fine musical entertainment. A Valnable Preservative. In consequence of the many dangerous aud too often fatal accidents to which' females, especially on the stage, are exposed by the inflammability of their dresses, the Berlin Committee for Trade and Industry have made known a preparation which when properly applied renders muslins and all .such light materials quite incombustible. This valuable preservative is the body known as tungstate of soda; but a mixture of the tungstate with the phosphate may be employed instead. When applied to stuffs this substance is not injurious to the colors, like borax and some other chemical bodies, nor does it, like the salts of ammonia, increase the labor of smoothing or rolling. It may be either mixed with the size in the manufacture of light tissues or added to the starch in washing articles of clothing. The salt can be produced on a large scale, and the price is relatively, moderate. HARDWARE, AC. TOOLS! TOOLS! TOOLS! TOOLS'!

Free of Government Tax, At 95 and Accrued Interest. This road runs through the richest and most thickly settled portion of this magnificent State, and is the only link fronting to connect. St. Louis and St. Paul by a direct line, 147 miles shorter than any other. It runs through the great coal fields ot Southern lo'wa'to the North where coal is in dispensable and must be carried. It runs from the great lumber regions of the North, through a district of country which is destitute of this prime necessity. It does not bun through a wilderness, where it would wait for years for a population to give it business, but through a tier of coun ties which are now producing about twenty million bushels of grain, most of which is freight for railroads. - Forty-five miles are just finished, and the Superintendent reports that on the portion open for business the net earnings are more than the interest liabilities. Sixty miles more are graded, and a million and a half of dollars have already been ex pended on the work. The mortgage Is made to the Farmers’ Loan and Trust Co., and bonds can be issued only at the rate of $16,000 per mile, or only half the' amount upon some other roads. Special se curity is pro vided for the principal aud for the payment of interest. First mortgages upon most railroads are the very safest investments, and so far as we can learn, there is not a single completed line in the Northwest which is not only paying its interest, but a good dividend upon its stock. The immense grain and other freights to be* carried away, and the domestic supplies to be brought in, insure a profitable business. t First Mortgage Bonds for so-small an amount upon a road running through such a rich and already well-settled part of lowa, can well be recommended as a perfectly safe as well as very profitable investment. At the present rate they pay about ten per cent, on the investment. Over $400,000 have already been, taken by the , Company’s officers and others interested in the enterprise.

' Ifc’tompomltnee oftnc riiilarielDliia Evening Bulletin.) Litter- Rock, Nov; : 17.—A-residenco ’of several months in ; Arkansas, with more than ; ordinarily lair means ami opportunities , bt judging of jtliq ,con(Jltidn of ~ the country' and the character, habits and sentiments of the people, have at length enabled me to comply with my promise of giving yon a trathful and correct acconnr ,of ; the f. state, bt affairs, morally, socially and politically, in this State, 1 am well aware that Arkansas does Jdot en joy an enviable, reputation abroad; Like all the rest of those Coming from the more highly, fa vored regions of the North, I confess that I came into- the State with no very exalted . opinion of the character apd intelligence of the 1 people, and rather alow Cstltpato of tho mate rial resources and commercial prospects and prosperity of tho country. But in all these respects I am glad to say I have tcbii agree ably disappointed. 'Though, the people gene rally are far; below the ordinary ''average of Northern education, thrift and refinement, they are far from being tho coarse,-brutal and de praved wretches that tho current newspaper literature of the day would lead tho outside world to believe them. As a general thing, I find the people to ho about as kind, humane, hospitable and law-abiding as tho people of any other State, and no more addicted to the commission of crime and the indulgence of vice than tboso of more highly-civilized com munities. In fact my experience has taught me that liuman nature in these particulars is about the same everywhere, anu thatadvance meutin civilization is not always accompanied .by a corresponding progress in morals and good. Conduct. All reports to the contrary, I do assure you that the people, of Arkansas are peaceable, orderly and industrious, and earnestly devot ing their energies to the improvement of the country and the bettering of their condition in all those respects that concern thclf moral, social and material well-being. It is very rare to bear of a murder or violent outrage being committed in any section of the State, and tho reports of such occurrences always create a startling and most profound sensation in the puhlicmind. . , , , The people being almost entirely devoted to agricultural pursuits, and still laboring under tjie pecuniary embarrassments resulting from the devastations of war, have made but little pro gress in the mechanic arts, manufactories apd railroad improvements. ißwt they are evi dently waking up to a realizing sense of the. importance and necessity of tostering those . great interests, and show an earnest disposi tion and desire to put the State on the track of modern progress and advancement. Lib-, eral laws in aid of railroads have been enacted, and individual contributions, to the extent of the means and resources of the people, have been made. A road from Memphis to this city, a distance of 120 miles, lias been nearly completed, and the continua tion of the line westward to the Indian coun try is nowin process of construction. Another line from tho Mississippi to Upper Red river, running through the Southern part of tho State, known as the Mississippi, Ouachita <md . lied River Road, is under contract with Northern capitalists, with prospects of being speedily built. The great line of the State, projected from Cairo, 111.; to the Red river, running diagonally through the eastern extent of the State, from! northeast tosoutliwest, and destined to be one of the mainTeeders of the great Southern Pa citic road, to be perhaps located on the 32d parallel of latitude, has extensive grauts of land, and with the promised State aid of ten thonrimd dollars ($10,000) per mile, will doubt less be speedily built, as soon as It passes out j of the hands of its present incompetent and : imbecile managers. Indeed, the railroad pros- j pects of the State arc most promising and en- -i eouraging, and as soon as the great-Southern Pacific route is definitely established, 1 doubt i not hut that all our • local roads 1 will be rapidly pushed forward. I In regard to schools and educational facilities, ■ the State is in a most hopeful condition. The i free common school system lias been adopted, i and the most liberal appropriations made for ' its support. In fact, the taxation imposed | upon tho people for the support of common schools is almost too burdensome, being much greater in proportion to the .means and re sources of thy people than in any other .State of the Union. Although the taxation is uni form, the laws Wisely provide for separate schools for the black and white. The educa tional improvement of the masses is already beginning to bo visible, and with the present generation the ago Of ignorance will pass away from Arkansas forever. The agricultural prosperity of the State, is, indeed, the most wonderful feature in the, condition of the country. The fertility of the soil and the value of it.sjiroductionsare almost incredible. In no country upon the globe is labor so highly remunerated as in the cultiva tion of cotton in the rich alluvial lauds of the South. With all Ids idle, wasteful and ex travagant habits, tho negro lield-laborer of this States makes more money per annmu in the cultivation of cotton than any other class ot laborers at- the North. The vast amount of money that the production of cotton is pour ing into all of the Southern States will soon begin to tell wonderfully upon the prosperity of the country, and must, of necessity lead to rapid development and unprece- I dented growth and advancement. I But to all tills there is one sad and serious ; drawback. The political condition of the Ktate is a mostwretched and abominable one. A mean and corrupt class of Northern men, thrown upon the country by the accident of war, have worked themselves into the confi dence of the negro, and thev have used him to ride into political power and control tho poli ties of the State. Altliongh the old white resi dents are largely in a majority, they have been so.far disfranchised as to leave the political power in tho bands of the negroes. The horribly had effects, of this un just and pernicious system are visi ble in every vital and important interest of the State. Corrupt and irresponsible men aro placed in the highest and most important offices, and tho consequences are that incom petcncy, corruption and peculation poison the sources of legislation and justice, and lower the standard of public morals to a, degree most painful to the contemplation of every true patriot, Christian and philanthropist. I will. rot descend to particulars, but suffice it to say hat to this great evil Arkansas is indebted or almost everything that retards her growth and keeps her back in the great race if national progress, and moral, social and naterial advancement. This is what they call ‘down here’; Radicalism, or “Simon-pure” Republicanism, as opposed to Liberalism and Conservative Republicanism. But although iroiid to be known and recognized as a Radi al North, from this kind of Radicalism 1 can inly exclaim, “ Good Lord deliver us!” ■ The tepublicans of the North are doing a great vfong to their party and a fearful injury o the great principles of their political aitli by fathering and indorsing this nonstrous abomination that is' called Southern Radicalism. How can it be won leved at that the old citizens ' of the ountry will noteinbracoßepublicanism when iresented to them in such a garb,, when life ong Republicans of the most radical castcom ng from the North abhor and despise it as I o, and as every other honest and honorable forthefn man must do when he see!) the thing a its naked deformity. I ain no politician, lit, viewing the matter in a purely moral and usiness aspect, Ido think if. would he well pr the Republican party North, through their opresentatives in Congress, to take Borne teps, as soon as possible, to purge the party outli, and to do something to ■ win over the ipport of tho large number of tire ood people of ■ the South, who really idorse In good laith tho progressive and ivilizing and humanizing principles, doc •ines and measures of the great National hion Republican party, of which Southern adicalism is no more atrue type or faithful ipresentative than Utah Mormonism is. of hiladelphia Quakerism. Republicanism can ako no progress South, so long as it is pre mted to the people in its present aspect; here must be a change, or the good men of ie country, of all races, color and previous mditions, will bo driven to tho necessity of outlining and cooperating with any political irty in opposition to the intolerable and.in iflerablo r abomination of Radicalism its here •esented. tivent'i&'&'.l CINANCIAI,.

Meanwhile their high price, as compared with'otber, classes of securities pay fug an equal rate of interests Is - leading to general inquiry for more profitable forms of Investment in which money miy bo safely invested. During the war the necessities and jioril of f ho govern-’ ffient.ajid the consequent cheapness of its securities’ 1 rendered them so attractive' that, from this cause, com bined with the patriotic faith of the peoplo in their they abffOrbed almost the entire floating capital of thecountry, and diverted attention from other classes of securities which had beforO been deemed sufficiently conservative and sound to meet the wants of the meet cautious investors. The government is no longer a borrower. It no longer needs Iho country’s capital, hut desires gratefully and honorably to repay it. The rapid accumulation of capital for investment* and the reduction of tho national debt andimprovement of* the national credit—rendering It certain that hereafter. but a comparatively low rate of interest can be ( dorlTed from investment in government bonds—is compelling the search for other safe and well-guarded channels into . w hicb capital not employee! in bngfncb* may wisely flow. Tho enterprises of Peace, no less needful in their time and place, for the common welfare, than were the waste and cost of War, now calf for the: capital which tho go vt rument.no longer needs, and offer for its ueoaremu" aeration which the government need no longer pay, and in some cases,a security as stable and enduring as the faith of the nation itself. The desire to capitalize the premium which may uow be realized upon Five-Twenty bonds, and. which a nia tcrialdocltne in GoM toward par, and the ability of the Government to fund them at a lower rate of fnterest,may at any time extinguish, is felt by many holders who de sire some satisfactory assurance as to which of tho many lower-priced securities In the market would afford the necessary safety to justify an exchange; The applications for information and advice which are addressed to us dally, show how universal is the desire for this assurance, as to what forms of Investment more profitable than Government securities at present market rates, are entitled to the confidence of investors. The pressure of this waut has led us to feel the import ance of directing our own attention as bankers, our large experience -and our facilities for obtaining reliable information—to the work of supplying it in some mea sure, and to offer tho resnltsof our inquiries to those who may be to confide in our good faith and judgment.

MUNDY«Agent • Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs, such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma, ' and Consumption. J: Probably never before in the whole history Of medicine,has anything won so widely and so deeply upon the conitdence of mankind, as thia execlTerit remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through it long series ofyearsi and among most of the races of ' men it has risen higher and higher in their estima tion, as dt.'has become bdtter known. Its uniforin character and power ito cure the.various affections of the lungs and throat, have made it known as a re liable protector against.them., While adapted to milder forms of disease and to young children, it is at tho Came time the most effectual remedy that caii be given! for incipient consumption, and the. dan gerous affections of the throat nnd lungs. As a'pro vision agamst sudden attacks of Croup, it should be kept on, hand in every family, and indeed as all are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all should be provided with tills antidote for them. Although settled Consumption is thought In curable, still great numbers ofcases where the dis ease seemed settled, have been completely enred,' and the patient restored to sound health'by the ’ Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mastery ovor tho disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it. When noth ing elso could reach them, under the Cherry Pec toral they subside and disappear. ' Singers and Public Speakers find great pro tection fi-om it. ■ . ■ Asthma i 3 always relieved and often wholly cured by it. ; 1 _ • Bronchitis is generally cured by taking tho Cherry Pectoral in small andlYequent doses. . So generally art! its virtues known that we need ■ not publish the certiflcates of them hero, or do more than assure the public that its qualities are folly maintained. Ayer’s Ague Cure, For .£evor and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Chill Fever, Kenuttent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &0., and indeed all the affections which arise from malarious, marsh, or miasmatic poisons. . As its na mo implies, it does Cura, and does not Rul. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bismuth, Zinc, nor any other.inineral or poisonous substance whatever, it in nowise injures any patient. The nnmber and importance of its cutes in the ague dis tricts, are literally beyond account, and we believe without a parallel in the history of Ague medicine. Our pride is gratified by the acknowledgments wo receive of the radical cures effected in obstinate cases, ;md where other remedies had wholly failed. Liiacclimateil persons;' either resident in, or travelling through raiasmatie localities, will he pro tected by taking the AG IKE CUBE daily, ffor Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulating the Liver into healthy activity. i’or Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it ip an excellent remedy, producing many truly re markable cures, where other medicines liad failed.
