There is a little principle laid down in that now famous sketch, "The Battle of Dork- ing," that it would be well for every nation ' and more particularly ourselves, to consid er. It is the idea that the suggested inva sion of England by Germany would, for a lengthened space prevent that , nation from being ( the manufacturing centre of the world's produce, and that once driven else- where, the raw material would not readily find its way back again to its old market. It is rather the reverse of the shield that presents itself to j ourV view, 'to-wit: that when once the war has forced the purchaser of our surplus crops into other markets, or to home consumption, they are more likely to remain in the new practice than to re turn to the old. '-' ; v i Bor example, the long series of wars which afflicted France through the republic and the first empire interfered sadly with her imports,. and nowhere was it more felt than in the scarcity of sugar. They are a nation peculiarly; given to confection's, and the loss of bread is hardly more unbearable than want of their accustomed sweets. So, unable to procure L their accustomed sup- ply from abroad, under the careful guidance of Napoleon, their attention was turned homeward, and the beet sugar culture grew nto proportions that very .much reduces I.

OUU VI 1 1 1 SV U1UXU more with every year. : The effects pf eur own war were in the same way no less to be regretted, affecting somewhat our ?rain trade, but more nartin.- ularly our cotton. England, unable to re ceiver her wonted supplies, turned her at tention to her Indian colonies, and the grain and cotton culture; augmented, no less in nnantUv than' 111?fw nriffi a vari:tn nl most startling, xne aespisea "surats" w3 t. -ri ! tAf-fnti nilh'nhiPh tn Tir her mill. titude ol of manufactories, and the neces sity lor its use completely- cnangea its na ture. Care and experience were bestowed upon its culture, the best American s led was used, instead of the worthless Indian; t,r. ...... . ' square miles were planted instead'of acres, and at the close of our war England was receiving lrom India, every year, four hun died millions, of Dounds of cotton that might , lie alongside bur best "upland tvnd not feel ashamed of the contrast. . ; So through that war Cotton will ever be lung as ot yore, ana, tnough in a less de gree, the same result has affected grain. ' From this we can learn but one lesson: So long as nations will fight and there seems : to oe : no immeaiate ; termmation oi mat custom in prospectonly that country is assured of its power and position which stands ready to consume all .'it produces, and to produce all that it wishes to con sume. In this respect England is the weak : est, and the United States the strongest. -i i ' -1.; A.S T-1.J1 I x 1 ut eiisuug uauuus. xruc urauu is me Key , to the former's weakness, and protection to the lattcr's strength ujt oi iuq most toucmng ana areaaiui domestic tragedies ever; enacted occurred about a week ago near ; Navasota, Grimes county, Texas. In the midst of a neighbor uuuu imcaicu wiiu luuuersj resiueu jur.&na Jlrs. Goodrich, a tender and affectionate " couple. One night, ( feeling assured she beard burglars in the house, Mrs. Goodrich aroused her uusoanu, wuo, arming himseli with a pistol and bowie knife, went in pur suit. 'In the darkness he struck one who fled, outside. Another at the same time passed him and sought refuge in the house. In order to intercept him Mr. Goodrich passed round, outside the house, to his bed room winddW, which he knew to be raised, and out of which he expected the burglar H would issue. Meanwhile Mrs. Goodrich, suffering ' from f aintness (which may hav been superinduced by the ? chloroform the burglars had with them) arose from the bed where her husband had left her. and irrooed her wav through the thick darkness, to thelneS3 ot boy give point to a story which window for air. At that very moment her armed and excited j husband reached the sill from the outside. Seeing the obscure outlines of a human form there, the wretch ed husband mistook them for those of the second burglar, and with; knife and pistol immediately began an attack whose horrors pass conception when it Is .remembered that it was directed against the form of his wife, between whose self, and him existed such faithful and tender lore. The discov ery ot the mistake came all too late. The ill-fated woman died. with her arms around the neck of the ytorse fated man, breathing into his ear, with her last quivering accents, tfbispen of forgiteneEs, - fidelity, and Iotc Foolish Partizanship. . i When will partizan newspapers cease to treat their readers as though they were born idiots as tboagh they had neither mind nor capacity sufficient to fathom the absur dities with which they strive to excite their passions and prejudices? When will they learn that the intellectual gullets of ', even the most biggoted ot titeir readers have not the capacity to swallow all the absurdities they may deem it for the interest of party to try to cram down them. In other words partizan newspapers should learn that a lie may sometimes be too broad and absurd for even their most credulous readers to swal low, -and .hence,: when persisted- in -too strongly, may react and have the contrary effect to that Ihtende'iVe haWnlTdoubt thatjf the average sentiment of the readers of sucb republican newspapers, as have been loudest in ascribing; all sorts of attro cities to the ku kluz of the South, could be ascertained, it would be that they have been treated to a vast amount of falsehood to a small kernel of truth Men may be induced to believe an improbability during a heated .political contest which in their calmer moments they would scout as un reasonable, and hence we can'readily see why an unscrupulous partizan press, acting on the principle that "all is fair ln.politica" can be induced to prostitute its columns to promulgate, unreasonable -v and unnatural political falsehoods at such times; but it seems that at a time like ' this, when calm judgment is brought to bear on all ques tions affecting the; conduct of public men, and on the motives which actuate their com se the newspaper which seeks to trade on the gullabillity of its readers by promul gating such a theory' in regard to President Grant and Jefferson Davis, as fi that given currency (o in the Harnsburg Patriot must entertain "a very low estimate of the intel rectual capacity of those for whose political instruction it professes to cater. We refer to its "startling; report" from Washington, and its editorial thereon, giving the details of an "alliance - between Gen. Grant anl Jefferson Davis." The purport of this "startling report," which the Patriot digni fies with a leader to endorse, is to the ef fect that "the recent apparently strange ut terances of Mr. Davis in speeches delivered by him at various points in the. South, to the effect that the 'lost cause was not jet lost, but that its principles' would ultimate- ly prevail." is explained by the fact that the two illustrious military men named, one who crushed the southern rebellion, and the other the one that was crushed, have entered mt alliance, offensive and defen sive, to establisbjn this country ua strong central military government," with General Grant at the head. "Now this," continues this political Gulliver, "is just the kind of government Gen. Grant proposes to estab lish over the States by stea .lily ignoring ths sacred rights of local self-government. What Dayis would have done for the South Grant would do for the North and South. With this harmony of feeling and concord of views, it is not strange that the two men should be drawn together, and, a report is cautiously circulated among those who look beneath the surface of things, that a treaty of. alliance was actually effected between these distinguiscd men through the efforts of their mutual friend, General Longstrcet, who was always a favorite with ex Presi-i dent Davis, and who is now a favoiite of fice holder of President Grant." And the way Javis is to help Grant to do this the way the once imperious Jefferson was to play second fiddle to the man who drove him a fugitive out of Richmond "was to make just such speeches as he had been making, and which it was calculated would damage 1 the Democratic party by the use that would be made of them by the radical press and thus aid Grant in his desperate efforts at re-election." TnE convicts on the Andaman Islands, in the Bay of Bengal, certainly, it report speaks true, enjoy various little amenities of intercourse that would not seem to be the natural characteristics of a society of criminals. We are asked to believe that they give little dinner parties among them selves, and that on such occasions the bottle circulates so freely that broken heads and manslaughter are frequently the result. The nineteenth century has refined incalcu lably upon the ancient system of treating felons, but we hope our British brethren have not arrived at the conclusion that the proper plane upon which to approach the guilty is that of permitting them the same glorious opportunity of overdrinking which is accorded to the innocent. Tue retribution that sometimes causes a practical joke to recoil upon him who prac tices it, was sadly illustrated at Clarksburg, West Virginia, the other day. A Captain Ford, having pxsession of a panther skin, attired himsekin it and went out into the woods with the intention of frightening a neighbor's son. The lad, however; suppos ing the panther to be real, made use of his father's rifle and shot Captain Ford fatally. The boyishness of the man and the manll did not need to end tragically in order to contain a very useful moral. It is now stated that Gen. Frank Blair farora the new departure. He is a progres sive Democrat throughout. To be sure he progressed backward in 1868, but now he is progressing forward in fine style. Pro bably after all, he took his steps backward only in order to get a good start. ( ; Mrs.!Fair,s remark, "If poor dear Crit tenden were alive, he would get me off," is only paralleled by the youngster who mur dered I his father and mother, and didn't think the Ju Ige . "orter bang a poor orph- Alexander II. Stephens, in bis paper" the Columbus (Ua.) tiun, says mat v the "idea of adopting a Radical platform -to elect a Democratic President is as sensible as burning down a house to clean it of fleas.!' Exactly: but if the fleas were so Yortcious 1 that the house was useless, why not burn it I down and "clean it of fleas" and all other I vermin, and then build a new one. That is precisely what tho 'new departure" Demo crats : propose to do, we judge from their movements. They have been terribly bit by such fleas as Stephens, and Toombs, and Davis and their fellows for twenty years, and no w th ey are going to "clean them out "by burning down the house. ? "We must say we admire ;theirglnck,,, The New' York Standard pulishcs ' the debt of North Carolina, and thus refers to the statement: We givV to-day a full statement of the debt or, the State of North Carolina to Oc tober 1,1870.- We shall give to-morrow a full statement ot the assets of the State. From these two tables it will bo manifest that its financial position is not so desperate as. the-Democracy: in and out of the btate would have it appear. A State convention is to e held in August next to consider this subject. We trust that: the convention will study the plans- adopted by Missouri and Tennessee after the war, and follow them with such modifications as are rend ered necessary. Should this course be be adopted the results will be as satisfactory to the tax payers as to the bondholders. The Lafayette Journal quotes a para. graph fromj the Louisville Ledger, which it thinks is a fair expression of the feelings of the average-non-departing Kentucky Dem ocrat, and adds: When a! Kentuckian prates- about the "Caucasian ; blood in his veins," boasts ot anpocfrir tho nnhlnaf haf aviir trarl i )i i a planet," and gabbles about Rome, Caesar, tlelotism, bulla, the Yandois, the Hussites, the Covenanters, Charles I. and the Romon Pontiff, ail in one short paragraph1 you may be sure he is a man ot strong is a man 01 strong convictions, and that he will hold to his political opin ions as tenaciously a3 he clung in infancy to the ebony breast of his wet nurse. 'Mb. Fenton was at Niagara on Friday and in a convention on the "new depar ture" of Mr. Greeley, he said it was a doc trine which the Kopublican . party must eventually accept, it the party would keep ! I in Dower. Mr. Fnton does not hnlip.vp. that Gen. Grant can carry the party to victory in 1872, doubts if President Grant can secure a renomination, unless his friends should pack the national convention. The Chicago Republican nominates Mr. Horace Greeley for President, and Mr. Robert Toombs, ot Georgia, for Vice Presi dent. Exchange. ' We move to amend; "Mack;7 who edits the Chicago Republican, for President, and Beau Hickman, of Washington, for Vice-. President. Erie Republican. We will improve on this by nominating any two "Red Hots" that can be found slinging inkf-from Aleck. Stephens to Brick Pomeroyl ; We learn with regret of the resignation of Mr. Mariin of the presidency of the Wilmington Charlotte & Rutherford Rail road. The road has never been in so flour ishing a condition as it was under his management, and while we regret the loss of Mr. Martin, we are glad to know that his successor, Mr. Cronlcy is as iully allied to the same interests POLITICAL. The political writers on the Pittsbugh Gazette must be rather young in years, or else they arejnot blessed with good memo ries. One ot them says "Georgia was iu olden times always Democratic," which is not true by any means. In the "olden times" Georgia was a Whig State, and sent both Stephens and Toombs up to Washing ton as Whigi The California Democrats "departed" af the manner of the Ohio and Pennsylvania programme, at their State Convention a day or two since.1 Aside from the "departure" resolution they passed another denouncing the poor Chinaman, thus showing that there was a large element of Bill Nye3 in the con vention, mixed up with a little of Governor Gearyism. They also renominated Gov. Haight, and' came down strong on railroad subsidies. ; What an unfortunate thing it is for polit ical parties' that some people should have such good memories. The Ohio Democratic convention passed a resolution denouncing the Republicans for giving aid to the Pacific railroad, and now some man with an incon venient memory calls attention to the fact that both 'the majority and minority plat forms of the! Charleston convention the Democratic party made its exit as a national organization, declared for government aid sufficient to build a railroad to the Pacific, and pronounced it imperatively necessary! The Chicago Mail does not appear to like Senator Pomeroy, of Kansas. It calls him "old Subsidy," and says he is the worst man to suck the government blood for the bene fit ot private ends, that ever distinguished the United States Senate. His latest jod is in trying to , to extract a donation of gov ernment lands for a local line which he calls the Central Branch of the Union Pacific1 The road starts without provocation at the isolated town of Atchison, and ends in the prairie, and has not half so much relation to the Union rPacific as any of the roads pointing West. The bill for a land grant for this Pomeroy line the- Senator's broth er is its President failed to pass Congress, and now "old Subsidy4' claims the land un der existing lawsl , If he gets it every rail road contractor in the country is entitled to a slice of government land for his enterprise.'- j' Gems.

With out God and ourselves the past would be nowhere. Nothingness would be behind and before us, and memory as vain as hope.

A religion which should be only tor tho rich, and .prosperous, and happy, which should minister to cultivated, tastes merely as a source of sensuous delight, would have no power to reach the throbbing, weary, yearning hearts of the millions who hunger and thirst for a rest and peace they cannot hnd in the ordinary conditions of their earthly lot.
