By U03f. ALEXAMIER il. BTEPDEXS.
A Boole for all Sections, and Parties.
This great work presents the only coni
plete anJ impartial analysis of the Causes of
the'War yet pnhlisheil, and gives those in
terior lights and shadows of the great con
flict only known to tho.so high officers who
watched the flood-tide of revolution from its
fountain springs, and ndiicli were so acces
sible to Mr. Stephens from his position as
second officer of the Confederacy.
To a public that has been surfeited with
apparently similar produc
tions, M'e promise a change of fare agree
able and salutary, and an intellectual treat of
the highest order. The Great American
War has AT L.V.S'l' found a historian
\vorthy of its importance, and at whose hands
it will receive that moderate, candid and im-
partisl treatment which truth and justice so
urgently demand.
The intense desii'e every wliere manifest
ed to obtain this work, its Official character
and ready sale, combined with an increased
commission, make it the best subscription
book ever published.

W e especialy commend the views
of the IS^atioual Intelligencer and tlie
Macon (Georgia) Telegraph as con
tained in the following article. Their
recommoudations cannot be too rigid
ly observed.
Be Viqilmt and Resolute, But Calm,
and Wary.
While ill view of the many atro-
cites of liadicalism, like that of the
act which is evidently intended to de
feat the populor choice for the Presi
dency, or that for arming the negroes
of the South for the express purpose
wo n-dviao
bnt^rionds to organize everywhere
and prepare for resistance to any
form of siiomidralism, in force or
fraud, that the Jacobins may precipi-
itate, still with all proper exercise of
the virtues of vigilance and resolu
tion, there should bo caliiiiiess and
wariness.
AH liot-hoaded acts on our part
should be carefully guarded against,
lost they be constnred by our oppo
nonts into what may bo a pretext 011
their part for setting their dogs of
war in motion to convulse the coun
try with some form of agitation, by
which alone they have hope of Suc
cess. Thongfi words do not rise to
the dignity of acts, it were also well,
whatever the provocation in mere
language, that extremely violent epi
thets, in writing especially, should be
pretermitted, Tlie Macon (Georgia)
Telegraph expands this general idea
as follows:
“To revive the war feeling and go
in under cover of a popular fury of
some crazy and irresponsible simple
ton. But how many votes will that
lose the Democratic ticket in the
North ?
“We believe we have victory in
our hands, if we do not choose to en
danger it by anytliing whicii shall
lend color and strength to the great
Radical trick of the campaign. Let
every Democratic voter remornber
that he who commits, or counsels, or
incites to violence of any sort, what
ev3r may be his motives or feelings,
is practically a formidable enemy to
Democratic success and tlie recovery
of our lost liberties.
“We cannot be too careful; wo
cannot harmonise,conciliate, and gath
er strength too much. Wo cannot
be too solicitous, in the midst of so
much that is inflammable, provoking,
and exasperating, to maintain the nts
most order end temper, and play out
the game with sense, discretion, and
judgment. Let the extremist, the
violent, the excitable, be careful that
by their indiscretion they do not be
come instrumental in striking down
the Northern Democracy in a cams
paign where everything now augurs
the most satisfactory results.
“We have said enough to ind'eate
the grand danger of the campaign.
Will not every Bouthern Democrat do
his best to avoid it ? Keep the peace.
Ketrain from all violence; provke
none. Be active—secure every vote
you can. Conciliate every influence
possible to support the ticket.”

Some .students in Paris have

recently te.sted in the presence of
scientific men, and proved a com

distrust of rebels is the card begin
ring to be played now by the Radi
cals, and it is the grand stratagem of
the campaign. ^
“It began with the meeting of the
National Convention in New York,
in the grand effort by all the Radical
prints to lonsethe suspicion, hatred,
and jealousy of the North, from the
fact that men of note and prowess in
the Confederate army were prominent
in that Convention. That was too il
liberal and barfaced to tell with much
effect,
“But the scheme is now being de
liberately followed up, and materials
are being gathered every da}^ if pos
sible, to lire the Northern heart
against the Democratic ticket. In
Tennessee the notorious Biownlow is
busily engaged in fanning a flame of
discord, and using all his arts to pro
voke violence, which shall be pro
claimed on every Northern stump as
proof positive of a rebellious and in
subordinate temper in the South, and
a secret purpose in the Democratic
party to encourage the temper.
“No matter what may be the exs
planation—what the reason—where
the true responsibility for any acts of
violence, whenever and wherever
they occur, be siirejthat they will be
raa.iipulated so as to strike a damag
ing blow at the Democratic cause in
the Northern States. Look at tiie
New Orleans riots, for example.

DAVIDSOM COLLEGE, N. O.
EXTRACT FR().M TUB REPORT OF THF. BOARD OF
TRUSTEES AT TIIE L.ATK COMMH»CEilEllT,
JCLT, 1868.
The coildtict of t?i«* gi'Galihouy of the
Btudenta lia9 been worthy of all praiso.—
Tho prevailing moral tone has been of a
high order, and public sentiment has al
most entirely enperceded the Hccossity of
discipline. There has been through the
whole year no single case calling for dis
cipline by the Faculty. Any momentary
disorder or misconduct has been easily
remedied by kind and parental admoni
tion in private.
The state of religion has at all times
been cheering and there has been, as we
trust, marked tokens of the presence of
the divine spirit. Of the twenty-four ad
ditions to tho College church since the
last commencement, eleven of tho stu
dents have been received on profession of
theiar faith in Cliiist, two of whom were
baptized in the College lAapel. Besides
the regular services of the Sabbath and
tho Wednesday night lecture, the stu
dents have kept up regular prayer-meet
ings of their own, and have been earnest
in efforts to promote the prosperity of the
Williams Missionary Association. Be
sides the considerable number publicly re
cognized as candidotes for tho ministry,
others have the matter niuler serious con
sideration. Sabbath schools for the blacks
as well as the whites are being kept in the
College Chapel, and some of the young
men go several miles into the country to
sustain the Sabbath school of Bethel
Church. Bible classes by tho Professors
are voluntarily attended every Sunday
evening. The Bible has been made a
regular college study for the past year,
and the schemes have worked well.
From this state of things progress has
been made towards that desirable consum
mation when college professors and stu
dents may habitually live together as a
band of older and younger brothers, am?
when moral and religious sentiment shall
be the controlling feature of the govern
ment. •
A WAR OF RACES.
Congress is hent on inciting a
war of race.’^. The last grand act
in that i.hrectiou was the |Missage
of the bill for,(listrihuting one thou
sand Springfield rifles to the loyal
poopli'dn each Congressional dis
Irict. It IS lo he done in time to
organize tliein i'ov sclf-profectioit
at the Fresi.'iential election ; and
it is not iiiiprohable wc shall then
see tho grandest mockery in the
matter ot an election ever witnes
sed on earth. The law is not lim
ited to tho Southern States, but
extends to all, North and South.
In the North, the strictly loyal
aie held to be only those of the
radical party. In the South, nine
out of ten who vote with tho radi
cals are negroes I To this com
plexion it comes at last.
Wlicn, tlicrefore, Gen. Grant
said, “ let us have peace,” do you
think he meant peace ? Is this
the way to promote peace ? Gen.
Grant meant war. He knew that
that was tho design of his party
rather that permit the people to
'defeat iiKj election. ^ 'riSe/radicafs
will rekindle strife rather than bo
thrown out office. They come
to you with a radical ticket in one
hand and a Springfield rifle in the
other. Now, take your choice,
say they .*— vote our ticket or
there’ll be the devil to pay.
How will all this be taken in
the North ? Will the democrats
meekly submit to it ? How will
it be ill the South ? Was ever
such a '-''peace ” measure devised
on earth before !
The pretext upon which Con
gress |)assed this bill is, that the
negroes are persecuted and mur
dered by the Southern whites
without mercy. It is utterly false,
and Congress knew it so to be 5
but they wanted a pretext of some
sort, and this one was exactly sui
ted to their purpose. It now only
remains for the low tools of the
party to incite the negroes to tho
committal ofoutrcagcs, and to pro
voke the whites beyond endurance
to bring on a war of races. Wo
believe it is the fixed purpose of
the radical party to bring it on, if
possible.
A despatch from Nashville says:
“A number of inflnential colored
men are getting signatures to a peti
tion to the Segislature, which meets
next Monday, to enfranchise the
whites. The committee left for
Knoxville on Tlinrsday, to present a
petition to Governor Brownlow, ask-
ink him to recommend to the Legis
lature the enfranchisement of the
white population now denied the
right of suffrage.”
Poison Oak.—Prof. G. Dowell, in
the Galveston JournalJour-
nal, recommends in cases of poisonv
ing h\' Rhus Texicondrou, and other
poisonous species of the Rhus, to
bathe the parts with a solution of
caustic potash, sutticiently strong to
render the skin soapy. This has nev
er failed to cure it immediately, al-
tiiongli he has used it in hundreds of
cases, including himself, nio poN
ash is used in the proportion of ten
grains to the ounce of water, but may
be increased in strength as needed.
A New N.vme.—While in Bristol
at the late Convention, we happened
to be in a store with several gentle
men, where there were a unmber of
carpet-gags exhibited for sale. Some
one in the crowd asked the proprietor
it the onslaught against the carpetbag
