FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 18C8. VHTVHMuU, tUTFBAOC Calm has succeeded the storm, says th Eric Itejmhit'can, the smoke of confliot clearing away we are enabled to survey the whole field before us. We cannot turn baok or pause in our career as a party, retrogression is death, and delay or stagna iion is worse than death. Men may cry poace to agitation, but there can bo no peace while any class among us is deprived of political rights, or subject to nbuso be cause of roD-posf-eion of political status, Not only for tho freedincn but for tho cx rebels do wo desire every protection the ballot can give. Not only the African ol Georgia, but the Magnolinn of California do we desire to sec invested with the armor of suffruge. Chinamen have been sub jeeted to gcatcr outrages on the Pacific than ever negroes were in Ne Oilcans or Texas. Intelligent in all tho industria avocations needed in their country ; peaco. ful to a fault, and submissive to our laws the Chinese emigrants have been treated with a harshness and abusive tyranny always a concomitant of disfranchisement It is a law of tho luud adopted after due deliberation in the Senate that all mal citicens of these United States should be equal io civil rights ; that no man should be disfranchised except for crime. It foi lows that any part of the people who may be deprived of civil rights will and do re taliate on the favored classes so surely as night follows day. Lvil works upward and tho permanent degradation of the laborer, follows tho loss of self-respect consentient upon being disfranchised, affects all por tions of the community. Our people need no further instructions on this subject. Suf fering has been a great educator of popular sentiment. Our only danser comes from the leaders of the Republican pajty failing in moral courage, and halting the column when to halt is to endanger our success as a party and enable oureuemies to steal from us the glory of being the truo party of progress. With the inauguration of flrant the lai ve3tigoot doubt will be removed from the minds of thoso who still think some check possible to tho reforms instituted by the Republican party. The will of the people is the supreme law known to Congress and to our luture President, and that will has been disclosed i'i no doubting manner whenever the question of universal suffrage bas been fairly presented for consideration What Are Ton Going to fioid. ino long winter ntgnts are coming. J owns and cities are lull el ymn men whoso- education ha been very limited. young men of good manners, of fair busi ness capacities, who are seeking their fortune, but who have not learned that iu. MliiCHce and tnteintu are the indiprn.a bio conditions of influence, of happiucss. ami success ; What plans have you, my friends, foi this wiutci 7 Business will be attended to. of course. Perhaps, m addition, the pros pect of several parties, a ball or two, the skating ring, jive a cheerful perspective Or, you may be of a sober turn, and you have a winter laid out in which your leisure tiuio is to bo Wlcd with meetings and be ncvolcnt labors. In cither case, what do you propose in regard to Ueadixo, or Study ? Are you educating yourselves? Do you regard books as necessaries of life, or as luxuries? A young man ought to arrange us syste matically tor reading as ho docs for eating Every year there ought to bo the account ol books finished aud mastered. Newspapers and magazines have their own place, and indispensible uses but they aro not substitutes for bonks. And books alone are to be clarified and wisely chosen. Novels and light literature, taken sparingly, furnish wholesome recreation, and sound knowlodge. But history, travels, biography, woiks ou soieuce, criticism, art, mechanics, should be thestaplo of your se. lection. It ought to offend the self respect of a Joung man to spend a wholo year without aving mastered a single new book. lie may bo improving io business tact, and in that knowledge whioh comes from tiling ling with men ; he may be growing in wealth and skill to manage riches, but these things do not reach in tar enough. They do not touch the place where manhood re sides. Now is the time to consider, resolve and arrange. It will require a firm purpose and steady hand to cany you every week through 'an agreed amount ot reading. But, if the plan is once arranged, begun, and carried forward a mouth, the execu tion of it will become easier every week, and the interest will increase at every step Nothing increases self respect in a young man, more worthily, than tho habit of sound reading.

Being one of the few not taint, ed with disloyalty, he refused to enter tho army, and was finally impressed. He deserted, but was recaptured, tried by court martial, and sentenced to be shot. Fortunately he escaped, and with his wife and child traveled on foot a distance of one hundred nnd fifty miles to the Uuion lines, whioh he reached iu a destitute and enfeebled conditiou. He was sent North by tho authorities with his family, a'.d in the tall ol lfo.I reached the city ol Troy. We will let tho Colonel toll the rest of the story as ho told it in his spoeoh on Wedues uay evening !
