Oar gallant standard bearer in the Jate contest lore himself nobly through out the enjgement. His speeches were able, vigorous and energetic, and tended in a great memmc to infuse that fire and zeal into our ranks, that culminated in ho brilliant a victory when the TOtes were counted out . Col. G has often canva-sacd the county, and be never fail to attract large, crowds to listen to his wise and patriotic itrnna I - r-f . Franklin is proud of the man (-bat bas been Jelcgate4 to tpcak for her people in tbo Convention tat i to rehabili tate our common mother, and to restore as near as may be that system of gov ernment under which we prospered and were liappy anterior to the advent of tho carpet . baggers among us. We know our Pelcgatc will perform his duties intelligently and faithfully.- This is as much as any wan could do.. OUR COUNTY, Neve? did ft people manifest a more ' patriotlo spirit than did those of our I t . . . .i I gauant aJiq aevotea iittie county in ine i contest from which we have just emerged. Believing in the start that the call of a Convention at the time it was done was unwiae.nnd in a high dc grco in opportune, yet tbey believed that our' Constitution necdod many changes, but feared the result of at tempting to rcfight the battles of 1871 po soon after that emphatic declaration pf the people, They doubted the wis dom of the movement. Rut when the measure was forced upon tUm, over their own remonstrances, as expressed through their Representatives in the Legislature, and tho measure was adop ted as a part of the policy of the Demo crat! party, they abandoned their pppositonv which .was based solely on tho ground of Inexpediency, and went jnto the fight with a seal and energy that would stop at nothing short of a decisive and well defined victory, which tbey achieved after a hard fight. An pttcmpt was made, by nominating a white man on tho Radical tlckot to al JurePfrom our ranks some whom it was supposed only adhc.ed to us from the prejudices of coior, but they spurned this attempt to disaflfoct them, and the Vfhito . Radical failed to c;ct as many wbito votes as did the black candidate Jast year. All of our people did nobly. Wo can never fail to revert with pride to the brilliant victory that perched up on our banners at the close of the con- test. Citizens of Franklin. You merit in an eminent decree the undy Jpg admiration and gratitude of your county. You have the blessed con sciousness of having performed your whole duty. Nothing better could be said.

The whole universe seeraa to be at war with the watery element. In France the terrible inunrlftions in the valley ot the Ga ronne have had their.conntepart in the dcstrnctjve overflow of the Dan ube in Hungary and calamitous tidal wave of Lake Lcman, in Switzerland, which caused such d struc'.ion at Gen eva. H-n clana nas been visited by al most incessant rainfalls during the whole summer long, which have ruined large portions ot the growing crop?, and a similar misfortune has befallen the great central State of the Wtt. As giving an idea of the rainfall in June and July, in Missouri, the St. LouL vRcpublican" publishes (Statistics showing that 19.35 inches of rain have fallen in two months while totl aver ago (or the entire year is about 24 inch es. The storm belt extends over the States of Ohio. Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois Southern Iowa and Missouri. Tho heavy rains began in May and ex tended through June, with intervals of clear weather, but since the first of Jail the rainfall baa been almost incessant. The destruction has not been as great s that caused 'by sudden inundations, but tho loss of growing copa has been heavy. Throughout the fertile bottoms of the Scioto, Muskingum, and Miami valleys ot Ohio, and the Wabash re gions of Indiana, the landa are entirely submerged, in many places to the I depth ot several feet. The wheat crop whethei standing or harvested, has been almost completely ruined, while the standing corn has greatly suffered apd in many places has been washed away. So continuous have been the rains that very little harvesting had been doce, so that the wheat crop is nearly a total loss. It is impossible to make an estimate of the amount of damage done, although the loa tails beavily on the farmers ot the inunda- iea regions, mere is no reason to ap- corn. The supply of the former will undoubtedly be small, as compared with that of last yeai, but still enough to mc-et the demands of tho export trade.- The corn crop premises to bo unusually largo Another danger which yet threatens from the storm is tho rising of the Mis sissippi from the heavy rains, a-ad the breaking of leveea Tbe floods of its upper tributaries have receded, and it calamity may be i &verted rrom tbe w recently devasca. icuicgwu?, mougu ins jeiioo early I . . .. I TqspeaK wjth, assurance. .A.Totli-Bocl Sermon. ; . j : A New York secular paper gives the following incident as a warning to ths multitudes ct poor rich men whom we meet continually: A gentleman died last week at his residence in one of our up-town iasb ionable stieetr, leaving $11,000,000 He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, in excellent standing, a good husband and citizen . On father, and a thnviog bis deathsbed, lingering long, be sufiered with agony of mind and gave continual expressions to his remorse at what his conscience told had been an ill spent life. 'Ohl' he exclaimed, as bis weeping friends and relations gathered about his bed 'Oh! if I could only be spared for a few j ears. I would givo all the wealth I have amassed in a lifetime. It is a Hie devoted to monev setting I regret. It - - is this which weighs me down ana makes me despair ol the life herealter!' His clerevman endeavored to soothe him, but he turned his lace to the wal 'Ton have never reproved my avari cious spirit,1 be said to the minister. 'You have called it a wise economy and forethought, but my richej have only been a snare for ml soul! I would give all I possess to have hope lor my poor soul I In this state of mind, n lusing to be consoled, this poor rich man bewailed a life devoted- to the mere acquisition of riches. Many came away from his bedside impressed with the uielessness oi such an existence as the wealthy man had spent, adding house to house and dollar to dollar, until he became a millionaire. All knew him to be a progressing Christian and a good man, as the world goes, but the terror and remorse of his death bed administered a lesson not to be lightly dismissed from memory. He would have given all his wealth for a single hope of heaven. " And Tlion Tliey Bouu- ccdllim," There were nine men in the saloon. Some swallowing the last of a crlass of lemonade, and some were hungrily waiting for theirs to be mixed, while two or three were hoping to be invited to take something. 'ihe tenth man pushed open the blind, walked . to the middle of the room, let his satchel fall to the floor, and exclaimed; "Hark!" Everybody looked up. lie was not a common-looking man, and was worth a second glance. "Hark ! Did I hear it ?" he asked in hoarse tones. One man picked the piece of lemon out of his tumbler and cautiously chewed it as he watched the stranger while tho otjicrs turned square around. "Sh ! harjc ! Was that a voice?'' the man whispered. The man jivith the piece of lemon in his fintrers muttered something about "tight again." and a man who had just lit a fresh cijrar looked out of the window to see if a policeman was near. "Did I hear it?" continued the stranger, holding his right arm exten ded "See here, whatdo you want !" in quired the bar-t6nder. Listen !' ' commanded the man, "Don't you -hear it?" "Hear what?" shoutetl three or four men at one voico. "A voice 1 A voice!" "I don't hear no voice ' rcpliixl the bar -keeper. "Don't you? there ! there V .The men listened ibr half a minute aud then one of them said ; "Voice ? What voice?" "As. ft, inelodious voice, sounding like angels' harpa," Thoy listened again and one of tho crowd asked: - " IFhat does the , voice sa who is it speaking to?' . ' 'It is a birdlike lullaby voice aik ing me to come up nd take a sherry cobbler !" whtspered the stranger, i They all looked at him for a moment. Then they rushed for him, and he was a sadly bounced man when he reached the sidewalk. Detriot Free PtessJ -A. SI tr-aiig-o Freak. There is no accounting for anything that happens this hot weather. We heard yesterday ot a strange occurrence which took place at a plantation on Topsail sound. A gentleman from this Bound informs ns that he has a hen that navmggone tnrough the process cf laying the usual number of eggs, took it into her head to have a set and hatch them out. She proceeded to this duty with earnestness,and faithfully attended to it for the space of two weeks, when, tmngofthe monotamy, or overcome by the extreme heat, she abandoned her nest and left the eggs to spoil. Strange to say, however, such did not occur, for after the remaining week had expired, each particular egg prodased a little chick, ha'ched entirely by the warmth of the atmosphere. Thisi we are assured, is not an egs aggerated story, and it is told cggsacU ty as iv was told to us. Wil, Journal. Jine muiueu for three months t-iv ' r . - oniy l ifty Uexts.
