In fact, there has not been an out ragej or violation of law io thetown or county for yeara that can possibly be distorted , into a Ku Klux act. Thank God there are men amopg u and we hope there will always be, who will not tamely broo an insult, bnt who will-iresent an outrage or an insult on the spot by whomsoever offered, in pn open, manly, and courageous manner, and not as an assasin and coward. These villainous lies have gone forth, and it is said that troops will probably be sent here in consbqticnce. Our people care nothing about the troops coming. It is a matter of no cencern with: them, if a dozen regiments are sent ; but they do feel chagrined at the vile slanders which havf gone forth from here and been published against them, Aj prominent Republican showed us the arti cle m the Chronicle and remarked that it was a big ie from, beginning to end.

He got tHeir money, and nowfhe is fr keepiug their oppresso-siu puwer. Such uureiiable hut-heads as Poine roy.Nortli aud South, have caused the South to sijffer greatly Charolot e Democrat. We agree with the Democrat in its opinion of Pomjeioy and his paper, and we desire to men-" tiqn juiothcr that may be set down in the same category, that is, the N. Y. Day Book. These papers are no mure concerned about the real welfare of the Southern people than t;he man in tine moon. We have entertained this opinion for a longtime, but because they had large cir culations in the Sfouth, we have been careful to keep, it to ourselves, lest we should be charged with; selfhUT motfves for denouncing - ctiitn. That they are rivals we do not hesitate to ad mit; but that this is the secret of our condem nation, we most emphatically deny. The Dan Book has recently come out for C.jlr... I.,-.. r J . - 1 . v.v-iv., uui ii waa iorceu io uo it or Jose its sufjsribers; who are nearly all southerners. We jrould have given up every one rather than hayej abandoned a ositi()n so strongly taken against Greeley and persisted in for week after hi. nomination by the Democratic parly. It has therefore given up the principles of a life time for the sake of a few dollars. Men who gracefully support Greeley as the nominee of the Democratic party, and as the less of two evils' sacrifice no principle; but those who ob stinately refused to do this for months after his nomination,! and who now insist npon swallow ing liim whole, puffing him to the skies as the greatest living statesman, as a man who never di.an unjust thing or uttered an unwise word, merely because they find it to their interest to do; so are bioth knaves and fools, ready to sell thiir birthright for a mess of pottage. Ade fronji the seltish motives which too evi dently actuaie these papers in all that they do and say, onejof them, at least, (Pomeroy's hem octol is not fit to be admitted into a decent man's honse. A more sjiameless, filthy, obscene shetjis not t be found anywhere, not except ing Woodhull and Citfiin's Weekly, the Police Gazette, or thp Day's Doings. Bui suppose the advice these papers have giv en us: since th war had been acted upon, does not evferjj man know that the South would today bejina much worse condition than it is? Their adviqe has been impracticable jargon, revolu tionary and wild theories, crimination and re crimination, abd appeals to the worst passions ofja soured and helpless people. Not one thing have they said or done calculated to promote our pjecuniary ior local interests, secure to us political freedom, give us peace and qniet at homej; bnt ther doctrines have rather tended to inflame tfie passions of our people, paralyze industry, and produce demoralization and in suWtlination. The fact is, those who control these Sand other Northern papers know nothing about! our. real Rendition, our surroundings, our necessities, or our wants. Ytt there are hun dreds; and hunjdmls of men throughout the south; that subscribe and pay their money for thpseinorttvern r.inds, in preference to tak ing a Igood paper published -at home. We know of several persons taking northern papers, who depend for their local news on borrowing a f home paper'from their neighbor! This ia ail wjong, even if these northern papers were jiist what hey should be in. every particular. It is wrong to send nioney from home for any thing that jou can procure with it at home. It is wrong not to encourage and nstain home enter prise, and it U a shame that any one should be satisfied to remain ignorant of what is transpir ing around him,j when it can be prevented bv the judicious expenditure of a few dollars.

THE ART OF SITTING PROPERLY. All consumptive people, nnd all h Reeled with spinal deformities, sit habitually crooked, in one or more curves of the body. There was a time in all these when the body had its natural erectness, when there was not the first departure on the road to death. The make of our chairs, especially that great barbarism, the unwieldy and disease-engendering rocking chair, favors these diseases, and undoubtedly, in sonic instances, leads to bodily habits which originates the ailments just named, to say nothing of piles, fistula'and the like. A very common position in sitting, especially among men, is with the shoul ders against the chair-back, with a space of several inches between the chair-back and the lower portion of the spine, giving the body the shape of a half hoop. It is the instantaneous, instinctive, nnd almost uni versal position assumed by any consump tive on sitting down, nnleits conntemrted 4y an eff.irt of the will : hence parents snouKi regard such a position, and should rectify it at once.
