LAWRENCE, Dushore. 1861*1895, From the Louisville Courier, Ky. For the seoond time the Grand Army of the Republic crosses Mason and Dixon's line, but the circumstan ces are very different from what they were thirtysfour years ago. A generation has intervened, and the lapse of a third of a century brings wonderful changes. It is the reverse of the situation described by the Scottish poet: "Thrice have I sought Clan Alpine's glen In peace; but when I come aguin, I come with banner, brand and bow As leader seeks his mortal foe." The year 1861 was one that must be ever memorable in American an nals. Its beginning found the Amer ican people in a peculiar condition of unrest, hopeful of peace, appre hensive of war. Each month brought new complications until the firing upon Sumter resolved all doubts as to whether peace was to be preserved. North of Mason and Dixon's line the effect of this event was electrical. Of what occurred in the South it ih not our present purpose to speak, that not being relevant to the muttei before us. It is not too much ti nay, however, that the outburst o! feeling surprised everybody in both sections. No one that was old enough at that time to note the cur rent of events can ever forget it. There has been nothing comparable to it within the rcceollection of any one now living. The indignation, the fervor, the intense activity, the rapidity with which a nation of farm ers, merchants shopkeepers and pro fessional men transformed itself in to an armed camp were bewildering. The exaltation of feeling among the people was unprecedented. Tlx great centers of population natural ly felt the impulse first, and regi ments were formed as if by magic. But the rural districts were not fai behind. The news ran through them faster than the fiery cross ever trav eled through the Highlands. The farmer left the plow in the furrow, and hastened to the nearest recruit ing. The mills and shops were emptied of their employes. State vied with State and city with city in arming for the fray. The "dread ful note of preparation'' was heard in every quarter. The scenes that followed this sudden transition from peace to war were such as are common to all wars but the enthusiasm that mingled with the partings was such as is known in great national uprisings Along with the patriotic fervor, the high purpose, the pomp and circum stance, there were intense anguish, suffering and sacrifice. The mother girded her first born for the fray, gave him her blessing and retired to her closet to weep and pray. The maiden speeded the departure of her lover with smiles and kisses, but tears mingled with the parting in spite of her high purpose. For the time the lot of those left liehind was harder than that of those who went away. These felt the thrill of a nation in arms. They went out confident of speedy victory, full of high hopes of distinction: "Qlory l*fore ami Ix liiml Marshaled proud ohhulry." It is needless to say that most of those who thus rushed to arms had very inadequate ideas of what was before them. Many thought it was but a holiday trip, nnd that the trouble would be over in a month or two. And a few fancied it would I* over before they cot there. Home peril on the edge of Istttlu they were all. perhaps, prepared to meet, liut the dreary waiting in camp, the struggle for life in the hospital, the fatigues of the rapid mirch, the in terminable pining in military pris ons, the cold, the damp, the heat, the miasnm, occasional hunger in the treuehes, the thouanu I and one ma jor and minor miseries of military life were unknown to most of those who left the plow, the shop and the ! loom to transform themselves into I soldiers. Mure than that, they were not prepared for the sharp etiug of | ih# Urcor v| flight, tUs heart sickness of bop* deferred. Many illusions were dispelled before it was given to any of them to return to tbeir homes. It is quite true that tbese mistakes were made on both sides. The two sections bad lived so far apart tbat tbey did not know each other in any tolerable degree. They were destin ed to get acquainted under circum stance that would leave no doubt? to be resolved in tbe future. If the South bad paraphrased tbe words of La ly Macketb— "The raven himself is hoarse That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan under my battlement"— it would have expressed not only what many of her people felt, but actually what took place in the early years of the war. But the Southern men also early realized that tbey had underrated the magnitude of the struggle before them. It is necessary to recall these events in order to heighten the con trast with this second coming. The Grand Army again enters the gate way of the South, but under far different circumstances. There are here no bloodj' hands to welcome foes to hospitable graves, an of yore. On the contrary, we welcome them as friends and brothers, compatriots and Americans, whose laurels are the common heritage, whose imperish able renown makes luminous the pages of our common history. Out hearts and homes are open to them; mr citizens are anxious to do theui honor. They will not remain with us so long as they did before, but they will have a good deal more fun, at least, il they do not, it shall not be our fault. Such a spectacle as we shall hav< in Louisville this week would, per haps, be impossible in any olhei country. In the United States wt are good fighters, but we are not long haters. We fight out our dif ferences, and dismiss them. We an too busy, aud, let us hope, too sen sible and too patriotic, to keep alivi the animosities of a day that has ?one forever and ever by. Th« •'late unpleasantness" was 110 child't play while it lasted, but it was faught out to its logical result, and ill classes are prepared to accept it, and to discard the passions which it excited. We have built up the waste places, have buried the past, and turn our faces resolutely to tin future, with confidence in the great ■lestiny which our united efforts will create. When we look back to 180.' we can not but wonder at the mys terious way along which a beneficent Providence has led a great people through the havoc of war and fratri cidal strife to peace, prosperity and fraternity. The Durant Trial. SAN FKANCIHCO, Sept 16.—The Durrant trial entered upon its ninth week this morning. Asliglit change in the program for to-day was made necessary by a death in the family ol Mrs. George P. Dorgan, whose ex amination was not finished when court adjourned last Thursday Durrant's defenders will be unable to persuade Mrs. Elizabeth Crossetl to modify her testimony regarding her ride in a Valencia street car on the afternoon of April 3. The old lady is as sure of the da3~ as she is of ihe fact that she rode 011 the same car with Durrant and tried to attract his attention from the girl who was with hiin. The testimony of Mrs. Crossett will be the key to the pros ecution's arch. By it the evidence of those who saw Durrant before he entered the church and of him who saw him after, will be supported Through it an absolutely unbroken chain has been made. The prose* cuting attorneys have now a case that tbev did not dare hope for when District Attorney Barnes tuade his opening statement. The identity of the "Sweet Pea Girl," the mysterious young woman who has constantly attended the Durrant trial and who has attracted so much attention by her devotion to the alleged murderer. She is Mrs. Grace Bowers, the wife of an insurance clerk. Last Wednesday she left her husband as a result of her infatuation for Durrant. Mr. Bowers says that hia wife never knew Durrant, hut that from the heginning she has taken a great in terest in the trial and believes Dur rant innocent. It m through that her mind lias become afleocd and that she is not resjiouaihie for her actions. Tli® LailifH Aid Swleiy ol l aport* will mvct »t tlit* ra«nlenou of Mr*.

Our landlords haven't been ex tremely busy this week. The Republican county candidates are growing in popularity. Those who desire to be on tbe big side, this fall, will vote the Republi can ticket.

This will be good news to the ma jority of our Sullivan county people. It is characteristic of people to idmire the man Tho will vote foi the candidate best qualified for the jffice to which he aspires. There is logic in these few lines and we ask >ur Sullivan county voters to give it »thought before casting their ballot* in November. J. S.
