Is it impossible to mrko the people comprehend the state of affairs here ? A trip of a week or two to Mobile could not fail to convince any man who approved of the war to maintain the Union, why conservatism should not prevail. Sooner take to your bosom the winter'* torpid snake than to expect justice from a people whose very religion teaches them to hute tho North if they ever get into power. The hatred of the Puritan element is part of the Southerner's education. It can only be eradicated in tho distant future, when a new people occupy his soil. pittston, rA J.

In 1403 a desperate battle was fought near the town between the forces of Henry IV and that of tbe rebel Earl of Northumberland under the command of Lord Percy, surnamed Hotspur, when the death of the latter gave the victory to the Royalists. In this town the old buildings are similar to those described at Chester, and ere in an excellent state of preservation. Some of the royal charters were granted by Richard I and Charles I.

I have no fear of negro votes being bought. The negro regards his voting privileges an religious duties, and the stories current in the North are wholly false when it is alleged that necessity will lead large nunbers of the colored men to vote against you. Thousands in this State have submitted to discharge from situations and great destitution rather than stay away from the polls. They seem to comprehend that their lives depend upon voting. WM. 0.

WISNER, The castle, of which but a portion remains, is said to have been erected by one Henry Beaumont, Earl of Warwick, a Norman leader of 1113, adjoining vhich has recently been erected a vero handsome building by the government for a post-office. The castle, in which the volunteers hold their drills, is the property of the Doke of Beaufort, as Baron of Grower. There are also many fine public and commercial buildings here, among which I may name the town hall or court honse, a beautiful Grecian structure ; the Boyal Institution of South Wales, an elegant building, which contains a valuable library ; Museum of arts and sciences, Museum of Antiquities, a visit to which will be most interesting to the stranger and tourist. There are also very massive buildings erected from native stone, hewn rock work, for instance, the House of Correction Union poor house, Infirmary, House of Industry, Norman School, Music Hall, Gas-works, Ac.' all on a gigantic scale and substantially erected, as if to last till the Judgment day. A few mile* from Swansea is a pretty little watering place called Oystermouth, by some, the Mumbles, a delightful place to pass away a few weeks or months during tho summer weather.

The "Mumbles head" is a bold rocky projection against which the waters of the bay dash with mora or less fury, according to the weather, and on which a fine light-house is erected, surrounded with a fort, thus affording not only precaution but in some instances security to the benighted mariner. This bay is not surpassed by any other on the British coast for sheltering vessels from the fury of tho sea and wind; indeed the writer of these lines has many years ago had to avail himself of the friendly shelter which this little bay affords tbe mariner. Oystermouth castle is a very fine old building, erected by Henry Beaumont, who I have occasion to name (Earl of Warwick) more than once in this jour* nal and as one of the followers of William tbe Norman Conqueror. It has a majestic appearance, standing as it does on a high hill, thus enabling it to be seen a long way off. It is the property, like the Swansea castle, of the Duke of Beaufort The Mumbles is noted for its fisheries, and there are upwards of 4000 men employed in the oyster fisheries alone. Apropos of oysters, the Mumble oysters, though reckoned very fine, do not come up to our Shrewsbury, Bine point or East river, served out at a Broadway oyster saloon or in Fulton market. They have quite a different taste, a taste which the New Yorker would certainly not approve of.— It is a rough tincture of iron puckerish taste, which can be retained in the mouth for an hour after partaking of them. We will now bid a final adieu to our kind friend and his intelligent family and leave the Mumbles and its gay visitors, and request you to accompany us to DIRECTORS: WM S ROSS. L. D.

Pi Its ton, April 16,1803.—ly Abergavehny.—This pretty little town is situated near the river Usk, surrounded by bigji mountains, and was formerly walled in. In the neighborhood are the ruins of an old castle and monastery, built some time after the Norman conquest. The high mountains in the vicinity are the Sugarloaf, 1852 feet high ; Blarenge, 1720 feet; Skirrid-fach, 765 feet. It is substantially a Welsh town, although situated on the English side of the boundary. The very extensile coal and iron works of Blaenavon and other workB are in the neighborhood, thus contributing material increase to the general business of the place. We will now put the ironhorse onco more in motion and proceed on our journey, passing Pontypool, where there are extensive i/on and tin works, over the great Crumlin viaduct which spans the Ebu Vave at the village of Crumlin. This vast structure is composed of open light iron work, of whieh there are ten spans, each measuring 150 leet, with pieces of iron gilded, 204 feet high. The whole cost of it was £40,000, or $200,000, a small sum when compared with the magnitude of tbe undertaking, which has to be seen to be appreciated.

The old castle, once the property of Jestyn ap Gwrgan (Jestyn the Bon of Gwrgan), lord of Morganwg, was burned in 1201 by Llewellyn ap Iarwerth, and of which now but little remains but the vast and extensive ruins of Neat a Abbey, called by Leland "the fairest in all Wales," which deserves from the tourist more than a passing remark. This fine old building was completed by Richard de Granville (who after the conquest came into posesssion of the castle,) and dedicated it to the Holy Trinity, placing therein a small community of Grey Friars, and giving them large possessions for their maintainance. It was at this Monastery the unfortunate Edward III fonnd temporary shelter in 1326, a short time before he lost his kingdom and life. The structure is built of walls of great thiokness, composed of nvtive stone, with the corners and embellishments of a sort of cement, which in its present appearance resembles white sand or freestone, and is equally as hard if not more so. The walls of the Abbott's house with parts of the Chapter house and Refectory remain—the latter with its heavy and high pointed arches, massive pillars and large fire place and stone mantel, is still in a good state of preservation. And I may say that here, amid the roar of furnaces, clanking of hammers, the humming of the cold blast fan and the puffing and whistling of the iron horse on the South Wales and Yale of Neath Railways, and in spite of the ravages of time, of war, and weather,there still stands vast portions ofthis once extensive and magnificent bnilding, a solitary memento of the past ages and the genius of the people of those days.

[6 June 67] The railroads have entered vigorously into competition with Gulf lines of transportation, so that interior planters freight produce, by rail to the North or to the Atlantic seaports, at less expense than it can be sent by way of the Gulf cities. Mobile especially suffers from this cause. Bombay and Indian counties are competing in the production of cotton, which they can do, for Ihey have an immense and starving population to work the crops. Cotton is daily cheapening in consequence, and the South distanced in her own boasted pursuits. With the enfranchisement of the negro, the Southern planter seems to have lost the fuculty of directing his labor, and really does not seem to succeed half as well as a Northern man of no experience in directing and managing; so that in one particular the Southern cry that "the negroes won't work" is true. They won't work for their former masters as a rule, so long as they can work for themselves or for a Northern man. NITROUS OXIDE GAS It is perfectly safe and very pleasantto inhale.

Would there were not so much truth in its plaintive pathos, and that there were less need for its publication; Garibaldi, who is again figuring so conspicuously in European affairs, is now over sixty years of ace, having been born in Nice, July-4, 1806. For more than thirty years he has been engaged in revolutionary enterprises, and in fighting by sea and land, being a sort of amphibious warrior, tbe son of a mariner, and himself educated in that profession, but is equally skilled and experienced in tbe leadersh:p of volunteer armies. His life has been one of great and varied adventures in all parts of tbe world—at one time in Turkey, at another in South Amer;ca, and again in Itily.' At one period he was in the service of Uruguay, fighting valiantly for the republic, chiefly at sea, though sometimes on land. Afterwards we find him teaching mathematics in Montevideo. In 1848 he went from South America with a portion of the Italian Legion to Piedmont, where he rendered gallant, though unavailing service against the Austrians. In 1849, when the Frenh expedition to restore the Pope appeared before Bome, he greatly distinguished himself by his heroism and partial success. Having been banished from Sardinia, he came to New York in 1850, and supported himself by making candles in a manufactory on Staten Island. Afterward* he resumed his vocation as a mariner, and made some voyages in the Pacific.

She looked on through the future years and saw her boy to manhood grown; and he stood transfigured in the light of her own beautiful love Never was thero a more beautiful son than he —honored of the world, and the staff of her declining years. The political situation is scarcely more encouraging, and is so mixed up with the social that one partakes of the hue of the other. The whole view is clouded by doubts, and the wisest men despair of the end, at times. JJLACKSMITHING! Having secured tho services of Mr. H.

JONES, BANKS, By the most strenuous exertions Gen. Swayne was able to secure a heavy negro vote at the recent elections, which, combined with 25,000 white votes, also due to the General's force of character and able management, carried the State for a Republican convention, which will meet in November to adopt a constitution, on which Alabama hopes—that is her loyal people hope—to be re-admitted to the Union.

PAINTING, PAPER-HANGING, GRAINING, and others, with Bbidccnd.—We made but a very short stay here, having hired what is called a trap by the natives, a term quite as appropriate as a rig. ging, a vehicle on two wheels, whereon we sat back to back, we proceeded to St. Donatt's, nine miles distant. While there we were entertained at the house of the mother of our American friends and neighbors, where we passed a pleasant hour or two. We failed to obtain admission into the castle for the want of admission cards from Dr. Carne, the present proprietor of lessee, resident threo miles from the place, so had to content ourselves with a sight of its outward walls, and a splendid merine view, looking the British Channel, The castle is of Norman architecture. For 884 years it remained in possession of a family called Straddling, and afterwards in that of the name of Drake, no doubt descendants of Sir Faancis Drake, the celebrated Admiral ot Queen Elizabeth's reign, and the hero of the Spanish Armada invasion. I was informed that the carving, Ac., of the interior is very fine. Near to the castle and covered with foliage, is the old church, while a portion of an old watch tower occupies a position on the opposite hill looking towards the sea. Until the light-house near by was erected, m»ny were the wrecks which occurred in this neighborhood, of which are told heart rending and strange stories.— Portions of unfortunate vessels can be seen in and around tho village at this day. In the churchyard is an ane'ent stone cross of great elegance. The castle and church figured much in the reigns of Elizabeth and James I. Having seen all that we could of antiquated St. Donnatt's, we bade adieu to our newly acquired friends and retraced our way back to Bridgend, where we took the train for The white votes were elected in oentral and northern Alabama by Gen.

JOB PRINTING, BLANK BOOK MANUFACTORY, It is surprising how, In Mobile, the people are held in mortal bondage by these papers. Men at heart loyal in sentiment and conviction are afraid to be seen in company with the few who are outspoken for the Union, or who dare to vote with tbe nogro. The few who hold office by military appointment, and perhaps a score of others, are all who dare openly acknowledge a manly opinion in favor of the policy of Congress. The worthy men appointed by Generals Pope and Swayne happen to be Christian gentlemen of tho purest rccords for integrity and private and public virtue that can be found in any community. They are all of Northern birth, but have lived here from twenty to forty years. Bipa with age and experience, and above reproach, these men are nevertheless tho targets for tbe most systematic Blander and abuse that it ever befell the lot of men to enduro. The daily paperB falsify every action of their public and private lives. During the war Mayor Horton was imprisoned for Union sentiments. He and his friends are likely to endure the martyrdom of John Hubs, should there be any more Democratic victories to influence tbe " Southern mind" to any greater extent against the " radicals." pASSAGE TO AND FROM PAPER RULING AND BOOK BINDING.

The generons qualities of Garibaldi, combined with his daring courage and romantic career, have gained admiration for the individual among many who have no sympathy with his cause. At the same time he often neutralizes the influence of his personal popularity by rash and indiscreet enterprise. gEWING MACHINES!

Yet nothing is more common than to hear men finding fault constantly with their particular business, and deeming themselves unfortunate because fastened to it by the necessity of gaining a livelihood. In this spirit men fret, and laboriously destroy all their comfort in their work ; or they change their business, and go on miserably, shifting from one thing to another, till the grave or the poor house gives them a fast grip. But while occasionally a man fails in life because he is not in the place fitted for his peculiar talent; it happens ten times oltener that failure results from neglect and even contempt of an honest business. A man should put his heart into everything that he does. There is not a profession that has not its peculiar cares and vexaiion8. No man will escape annoyance by changing business. No mechanical business is altogether agreeable. Commerce, in its endless varieties, is affected like all other human pur. suits, with trials, and unwelcome duties, and spirit-tiring necessities. It is the very wantonness of lolly for a man to search out the frets and burdens of his calling, and give his mind every day to a consideration of them. They belong to human life. They are inevitable. Brooding, then, only gives them strength. On the other hand, a man has power given to him to shed beauty and pleasure upon tho homeliest toil, if he is wise. Let a man adopt his business, and identify it with life, and cover it with pleasant associations; for God has given us imagination not alone to make poets of some, but enable all men to beautify homely things. Heart-varnish will cover up innumerable evils and defects. Look at the good things. Accept your lot, as a man does a piece of rugged ground, and begin to get out the rocks and roots, to deepen and mellow the soil, to envich and Slant it. There is something in the most for- Idding vocation around which a man may twine plcaaant fancies—out of which he may develop aft honest pride. CENTAL BOOK AND MUSIC STORE !

They make them the suns of their system, they and their children revolve around them: Men are Gods if they but knew it, and women burning incense at their shrines.

MILLINERY AND Within the past two weeks, two colored churches and a school house have been burned. Since the surrender, six churches have been destroyed, and as many school houses, by incendiarism, in Mob;le. Between incendiarism and yellow fever the oitv seems doomed. But contrary to general expectation tho yellow fever makes no distinction in favor of rebels. In fact from his partiality to whisky and irregular habits, the Southerner usually falls a victim to the disease. Pittston, May 9,18G7-6m*J WM. C. B, If a man would have a woman do him homage he must be manly in every sense—a true gentleman; not a Chesterfield school but polito because his heart is full of kindness to all: one who treats her with respect, even deference, because she is wonian; who never condescends to say silly things to her ; who brings her up to his level if his mind is above her's ; who is never over-anxious to please her, but always anxious to do right; who has no time to be frivolous with her; always dignified in speech and act: who never spends too much money upon her; never yeilds to temptation, even if she puts it in hi* way; who is ambitious to make bis mark in the world whether •he encourages him or not; who is never familiar with her to the extent of being an adopted brother or cousin ; who is overcareful about dress ; always pleasant and considerate, but always keeping his place as a man, the head, and never ceasing it. Such deportment, with noble principles, a good mind, energy and industry, will win any woman in the la&d who is worth the winning. Jj- EW GOODS! TOBACCO ATfD CIGARS, HOLLOW-WAltE!

I have no fear of negro votes being bought. The negro regards his voting privileges an religious duties, and the stories current in the North are wholly false when it is alleged that necessity will lead large nunbers of the colored men to vote against you.

The castle, in which the volunteers hold their drills, is the property of the Doke of Beaufort, as Baron of Grower.

The "Mumbles head" is a bold rocky projection against which the waters of the bay dash with mora or less fury, according to the weather, and on which a fine light-house is erected, surrounded with a fort, thus affording not only precaution but in some instances security to the benighted mariner. This bay is not surpassed by any other on the British coast for sheltering vessels from the fury of tho sea and wind; indeed the writer of these lines has many years ago had to avail himself of the friendly shelter which this little bay affords tbe mariner. Oystermouth castle is a very fine old building, erected by Henry Beaumont, who I have occasion to name (Earl of Warwick) more than once in this jour* nal and as one of the followers of William tbe Norman Conqueror. It has a majestic appearance, standing as it does on a high hill, thus enabling it to be seen a long way off. It is the property, like the Swansea castle, of the Duke of Beaufort The Mumbles is noted for its fisheries, and there are upwards of 4000 men employed in the oyster fisheries alone. Apropos of oysters, the Mumble oysters, though reckoned very fine, do not come up to our Shrewsbury, Bine point or East river, served out at a Broadway oyster saloon or in Fulton market. They have quite a different taste, a taste which the New Yorker would certainly not approve of.— It is a rough tincture of iron puckerish taste, which can be retained in the mouth for an hour after partaking of them.

The high mountains in the vicinity are the Sugarloaf, 1852 feet high ; Blarenge, 1720 feet; Skirrid-fach, 765 feet. It is substantially a Welsh town, although situated on the English side of the boundary. The very extensile coal and iron works of Blaenavon and other workB are in the neighborhood, thus contributing material increase to the general business of the place. We will now put the ironhorse onco more in motion and proceed on our journey, passing Pontypool, where there are extensive i/on and tin works, over the great Crumlin viaduct which spans the Ebu Vave at the village of Crumlin. This vast structure is composed of open light iron work, of whieh there are ten spans, each measuring 150 leet, with pieces of iron gilded, 204 feet high. The whole cost of it was £40,000, or $200,000, a small sum when compared with the magnitude of tbe undertaking, which has to be seen to be appreciated.

The old castle, once the property of Jestyn ap Gwrgan (Jestyn the Bon of Gwrgan), lord of Morganwg, was burned in 1201 by Llewellyn ap Iarwerth, and of which now but little remains but the vast and extensive ruins of Neat a Abbey, called by Leland "the fairest in all Wales," which deserves from the tourist more than a passing remark. This fine old building was completed by Richard de Granville (who after the conquest came into posesssion of the castle,) and dedicated it to the Holy Trinity, placing therein a small community of Grey Friars, and giving them large possessions for their maintainance. It was at this Monastery the unfortunate Edward III fonnd temporary shelter in 1326, a short time before he lost his kingdom and life. The structure is built of walls of great thiokness, composed of nvtive stone, with the corners and embellishments of a sort of cement, which in its present appearance resembles white sand or freestone, and is equally as hard if not more so. The walls of the Abbott's house with parts of the Chapter house and Refectory remain—the latter with its heavy and high pointed arches, massive pillars and large fire place and stone mantel, is still in a good state of preservation. And I may say that here, amid the roar of furnaces, clanking of hammers, the humming of the cold blast fan and the puffing and whistling of the iron horse on the South Wales and Yale of Neath Railways, and in spite of the ravages of time, of war, and weather,there still stands vast portions ofthis once extensive and magnificent bnilding, a solitary memento of the past ages and the genius of the people of those days.

[6 June 67] The railroads have entered vigorously into competition with Gulf lines of transportation, so that interior planters freight produce, by rail to the North or to the Atlantic seaports, at less expense than it can be sent by way of the Gulf cities. Mobile especially suffers from this cause. Bombay and Indian counties are competing in the production of cotton, which they can do, for Ihey have an immense and starving population to work the crops. Cotton is daily cheapening in consequence, and the South distanced in her own boasted pursuits. With the enfranchisement of the negro, the Southern planter seems to have lost the fuculty of directing his labor, and really does not seem to succeed half as well as a Northern man of no experience in directing and managing; so that in one particular the Southern cry that "the negroes won't work" is true. They won't work for their former masters as a rule, so long as they can work for themselves or for a Northern man. NITROUS OXIDE GAS It is perfectly safe and very pleasantto inhale.

Would there were not so much truth in its plaintive pathos, and that there were less need for its publication; Garibaldi, who is again figuring so conspicuously in European affairs, is now over sixty years of ace, having been born in Nice, July-4, 1806. For more than thirty years he has been engaged in revolutionary enterprises, and in fighting by sea and land, being a sort of amphibious warrior, tbe son of a mariner, and himself educated in that profession, but is equally skilled and experienced in tbe leadersh:p of volunteer armies. His life has been one of great and varied adventures in all parts of tbe world—at one time in Turkey, at another in South Amer;ca, and again in Itily.' At one period he was in the service of Uruguay, fighting valiantly for the republic, chiefly at sea, though sometimes on land. Afterwards we find him teaching mathematics in Montevideo. In 1848 he went from South America with a portion of the Italian Legion to Piedmont, where he rendered gallant, though unavailing service against the Austrians. In 1849, when the Frenh expedition to restore the Pope appeared before Bome, he greatly distinguished himself by his heroism and partial success. Having been banished from Sardinia, he came to New York in 1850, and supported himself by making candles in a manufactory on Staten Island. Afterward* he resumed his vocation as a mariner, and made some voyages in the Pacific. He afterwards returned to Nice, and lived there in retirement till the war with Austria, in 1859, when the Sardinian Government invited him to form a corps, which became celebrated as the " Hunters of the Alps," and his services throughout the war were moet important.

While there we were entertained at the house of the mother of our American friends and neighbors, where we passed a pleasant hour or two. We failed to obtain admission into the castle for the want of admission cards from Dr. Carne, the present proprietor of lessee, resident threo miles from the place, so had to content ourselves with a sight of its outward walls, and a splendid merine view, looking the British Channel, The castle is of Norman architecture. For 884 years it remained in possession of a family called Straddling, and afterwards in that of the name of Drake, no doubt descendants of Sir Faancis Drake, the celebrated Admiral ot Queen Elizabeth's reign, and the hero of the Spanish Armada invasion. I was informed that the carving, Ac., of the interior is very fine. Near to the castle and covered with foliage, is the old church, while a portion of an old watch tower occupies a position on the opposite hill looking towards the sea. Until the light-house near by was erected, m»ny were the wrecks which occurred in this neighborhood, of which are told heart rending and strange stories.— Portions of unfortunate vessels can be seen in and around tho village at this day. In the churchyard is an ane'ent stone cross of great elegance. The castle and church figured much in the reigns of Elizabeth and James I. Having seen all that we could of antiquated St. Donnatt's, we bade adieu to our newly acquired friends and retraced our way back to Bridgend, where we took the train for The white votes were elected in oentral and northern Alabama by Gen. Swayne's wonderful personal influence; but in Mobile, where three daily (traitorous) journals hold sway, there were only one hundred white votes casi., while there were several thousand registered, showing conclusively the intense opposition to reconstruction.6TUDI0, GLAZING AND PICTURE FRAMING, BLANK BOOKS At Miller's Photograph Rooms.

JOB PRINTING, BLANK BOOK MANUFACTORY, It is surprising how, In Mobile, the people are held in mortal bondage by these papers. Men at heart loyal in sentiment and conviction are afraid to be seen in company with the few who are outspoken for the Union, or who dare to vote with tbe nogro. The few who hold office by military appointment, and perhaps a score of others, are all who dare openly acknowledge a manly opinion in favor of the policy of Congress. The worthy men appointed by Generals Pope and Swayne happen to be Christian gentlemen of tho purest rccords for integrity and private and public virtue that can be found in any community. They are all of Northern birth, but have lived here from twenty to forty years. Bipa with age and experience, and above reproach, these men are nevertheless tho targets for tbe most systematic Blander and abuse that it ever befell the lot of men to enduro. The daily paperB falsify every action of their public and private lives. During the war Mayor Horton was imprisoned for Union sentiments. He and his friends are likely to endure the martyrdom of John Hubs, should there be any more Democratic victories to influence tbe " Southern mind" to any greater extent against the " radicals." pASSAGE TO AND FROM PAPER RULING AND BOOK BINDING. Pity, 0 grave, and dry those tears that roll down her furrowed cheeks!

The generons qualities of Garibaldi, combined with his daring courage and romantic career, have gained admiration for the individual among many who have no sympathy with his cause. At the same time he often neutralizes the influence of his personal popularity by rash and indiscreet enterprise. gEWING MACHINES!

Yet nothing is more common than to hear men finding fault constantly with their particular business, and deeming themselves unfortunate because fastened to it by the necessity of gaining a livelihood. In this spirit men fret, and laboriously destroy all their comfort in their work ; or they change their business, and go on miserably, shifting from one thing to another, till the grave or the poor house gives them a fast grip. But while occasionally a man fails in life because he is not in the place fitted for his peculiar talent; it happens ten times oltener that failure results from neglect and even contempt of an honest business. A man should put his heart into everything that he does. There is not a profession that has not its peculiar cares and vexaiion8. No man will escape annoyance by changing business. No mechanical business is altogether agreeable. Commerce, in its endless varieties, is affected like all other human pur. suits, with trials, and unwelcome duties, and spirit-tiring necessities. It is the very wantonness of lolly for a man to search out the frets and burdens of his calling, and give his mind every day to a consideration of them. They belong to human life. They are inevitable. Brooding, then, only gives them strength. On the other hand, a man has power given to him to shed beauty and pleasure upon tho homeliest toil, if he is wise. Let a man adopt his business, and identify it with life, and cover it with pleasant associations; for God has given us imagination not alone to make poets of some, but enable all men to beautify homely things. Heart-varnish will cover up innumerable evils and defects. Look at the good things. Accept your lot, as a man does a piece of rugged ground, and begin to get out the rocks and roots, to deepen and mellow the soil, to envich and Slant it. There is something in the most for- Idding vocation around which a man may twine plcaaant fancies—out of which he may develop aft honest pride. CENTAL BOOK AND MUSIC STORE !

They make them the suns of their system, they and their children revolve around them: Men are Gods if they but knew it, and women burning incense at their shrines.

MILLINERY AND Within the past two weeks, two colored churches and a school house have been burned. Since the surrender, six churches have been destroyed, and as many school houses, by incendiarism, in Mob;le. Between incendiarism and yellow fever the oitv seems doomed. But contrary to general expectation tho yellow fever makes no distinction in favor of rebels. In fact from his partiality to whisky and irregular habits, the Southerner usually falls a victim to the disease. Pittston, May 9,18G7-6m*J WM. C. B, If a man would have a woman do him homage he must be manly in every sense—a true gentleman; not a Chesterfield school but polito because his heart is full of kindness to all: one who treats her with respect, even deference, because she is wonian; who never condescends to say silly things to her ; who brings her up to his level if his mind is above her's ; who is never over-anxious to please her, but always anxious to do right; who has no time to be frivolous with her; always dignified in speech and act: who never spends too much money upon her; never yeilds to temptation, even if she puts it in hi* way; who is ambitious to make bis mark in the world whether •he encourages him or not; who is never familiar with her to the extent of being an adopted brother or cousin ; who is overcareful about dress ; always pleasant and considerate, but always keeping his place as a man, the head, and never ceasing it. Such deportment, with noble principles, a good mind, energy and industry, will win any woman in the la&d who is worth the winning. Jj- EW GOODS! TOBACCO ATfD CIGARS, HOLLOW-WAltE!

The more they have suffered for the Union, the greater the hate and the fear lest they will rise to power. It is a source of regret that some of our officers, unmindful of their records during the war, will acquiesce in the hue and cry against these stern patriots, and to gain a commendation in a disloyal newspaper, will shut the eye to justice. rpo AND F110M THE DEPOT I Attended to with promptness, snd in the best manner.
