The day selected for the open ing of the festival was the anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill and a British band was there to make the performance the more extravagant. The opening address of this peace jubilee was by a Gen eral in the Urnon army, N. P.

Banks, whom the rebel soldiers used to call Stonewall Jackson 'sr commissary, because N. P. ran off so often and left his rations in Jackson's hands. Gen. Grant was dead-beaded all the way from Washington, and presented with a "dead-head ticket at Boston to give emphasis and expression to the idea of peace Marine and military bands were there to represent the same happy thought.

The audience greeted Grant with such peace hymns as ''Hail to the Chief" and The Star-Spangled Banner!" The anvils beat "Old Hundred and Hail Columbia." The most sacred songs were interspersed with national airs. The building was decorated all over with war flags in commemoration of peace! The biggest drum in the world wat there to symbolize peace. The military despot was there to symbolize the peace which he has given the South in the Albany penitentiary To have everything in keeping, this hideous, stuperidons mockery was played off in Boston, the fomenter of all the bloodshed and misery from '61 to '65 Boston, that sent thousands of Irish and Germans to desolate the South, while its own braves were speculating in Government bonds and growing fat upon the ruin of a once happy country But with all his devotion. to clap-trap, the Boston man has an eye single (o greenbacks. If the godly city can make a few'; hundred thousand dollars out nf this preposterous swindle the farce has been worth the candle.

Boston has tt its own pockets and made the loyalist supremely happy, that is hr enough for the city of isms. Ara tho Teutonic Races the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel Some learned men of Europe have made, as the suppose, the important, discovery that the Teutonic or German ic Races are the lost ten tribes of Israel. The Germanic Races, (originally Scythi ans) according to the beat ancient came from the shores ofthe Cass pian sea, the very region to which the captured Israelites were carried by the King of Assyria. This fact, however, is only one ot the many arguments usd" by these gentlemen to prove their posi tion. Before going farther, it may be well to state the Bible authority in the matter.

"In the 9th year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Med es In Mitchells Ancient Atlas, the reader will find Medea lying im-mediately upon the shores ofthe Caspian sea. Strabo, Diodorus, Herodotus and Pliny all assert that the Scythians came from this region, and from them the Goths or Gadites overspread the central and northern portions of Europe. Before leaving their own Palestine, they had fallen into gross idolatries, and yet enough of their ancient religion remained even after wandering as far as the Baltic sea, td show, their Israelitish origin. In their great followed the arrangement ofthe temple at Jeru salem, having an outer, innei and inmost compartment. Ihey had three great annual festivals correspond ire to the seasons in which the three great Hebrew festivals were held.

They supported their hereditary priesthood by a tithe system like that of the Hebrews. Their civil leourts were always composed of twelve judges or jurymen like the Hebrew's courts ot twelve (ten rulers of ten and two rulers of fifty making the court of twelve in every hundred.) Not only did they retain these striking remnants of their own divinely appointed institutions, but they carried the very idolatries tor which they were exiled, to their western homes, worshipping Baal, and kindling great fires in his honor, even down to the introduction of Christianity. To this day the custom prevails ot kindling fires on Midsummer Eve in England and Scotland, a superstitious custom handed down from the worship of Climate has changed the color of hair, complexion and eyes of these races, bint that is always the case. A northern race cannot continue a dark race a southern race cannot continue-, a fair one. Thesl gentlemen also maintain that the mental and moral characteristics of thc Teutons are all Hebrew active, aggressive, en-terprizing and intellectual, they, are still the people who escaped the powerful yoke of Egypt, conquered the powerful peoples of Canaan, and like their brothers Judah, Levi and Benjamin, at this day stand at the head ot all the world in progressive civilization.

If this theory is true, Gladstone and Disraeli are alike sons of Jacob, and Roth child and Astor may clasp hands as If this theory is true, the ancient prophecies regarding the house of Israel are strike xngh fulfilled. Manassah is not lost, but migrated in his restless strength from the cities of these Medes, and skirting the boundaries of the already populous and powerful countries of southern Eu rope, became a "multitude of nations," which now almost encircle the earth. The sons ot the beloved Joseph are not lost, but have became "most fruitful boughs his bow abides in strength and his arms are strong by the hand of the mighty God of Jacob" "he is bless ed with the blessings of heaven above and with the blessings of the deep that lieth nnder." Ephraim is not lost, but fie that blesseth may still say "God make thee as Ephraim, and his "tens of thousands" still in existence. Aslmr is not lost, but still "yields royal dain- ties. JNaphtau still jriveth "aroodlv words" through the tongues and pens of Teutonic orators and authors.

a This is," in our opinion, the; best, as it is the last, production of gifted and lamented author. We are glad that he lived to finish this novel, which will bo an imperishable monument to hisfetoe. It is a story of Fenianism, of VFehian hopes, trials and disappointments. It tells how bad laws, bad government and wicked rulers fill a laud with discontent Ireland and Ku-kluxism in America have the same origin. Under wise rulers and wise laws, secret societies organized to commit vio- ence do not exist.

What do tbey represent The most vil lainous government ever seen in a free Christian commonwealth a government which is only a synonym ior scientific scoundrelism and organized pillage. A few unscrupulous and avaricious adventurers have temporarily confiscated a State ofthe American Union to their private use and emolument. They have found a few native-born rascals as unscrupulous as themselves, and taken them into partnership. They have secured the ignorant negroes by a system of secret bath-bound societies; by skilfully appealing to their resentments and their fears in which the Ku-klux insanity has, of course, been of invaluable, assistance to them; by the music Of the Kepublican name; and by dividing office and plunder with their leaders, always reserving for themselves, however, the lion's share. The history of their shameful rule is known to the American people.

Yet these fellows call themselves hold up their heads with the best, and cheer for Grant with the loudest. They come into the National Convention, their hands reeking with corrupt jobs, their pockets heavy with stolen money, and sit down on equal terms with representatives of Massachusetts." Theodore Tilton, in the Oolden Age, says: "We believe in Providential opportunities. One such is before us. Not to seize it is to lose it. The South, at this hour, is full of unexampled good will to the North.

"Will the Democratic party, therefore, take the South by one hand, the North by the other, and perform the priestly office of uniting the twain as one? In other" words, will Baltimore second Cincinnati The question is momentous, for on its settlement the future destiny of this nation depends. We can havo what Daniel Webster called one country, one constitution, one destiny' provided only the Northern Democrats are actuated by that spirit of oneness. The reign of the sword can be ended, and the reign of law begin provided only Baltimore says the word. State rights can be restored, and Federal usurpation driven back out of every State of the Union provided only Baltimore so decrees. Nepotism can be banished to the limbo of execrable memories provided only Baltimore render no second-hand help to the nepotist Local self-government can be re-enacted ijri all the South provided only Baltimore shall join in the Cincinnati demonstration against the Federal centralist President Grant can be defeated, and Horace Greeley elected provided only Baltimore shows its iron gauntlet to the one, and its open palm to the other.

The nation's future hangs in the unbalanced scale of to-day. We await the verdict with the. anxiety which i broods and muses iu advance over fate's nnknown decree. How it Stands. One State the smallest in the Union, Delaware has declared against Greeley and Brown.

No other State, unless we except Georgia which is doubtful, will declare against the Cincinnati nominees, it is pretty safe to assume. Now let ns see what' States may be counted as certain for the poliey of endorsement. New York, Pennsylvania, Dli-nois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa, New Jersey, Maryland, Tennessee and the whole South, with the possible exception of Georgia. These wonldinsure the re-nom-mation under the two-thirds rule. But we think Greeley and Brown will do even better than that They will probably get the V2tlevery New England State and those of the States on the Pacific slope, which would seem something like unanimity.

Indeed with the lights of the hour, the heavy endorsements coming in from newspapers, busmen and State Conventions, we think Greeley and Brown are sure to be endorsed at Baltimore. Wilmington (N.

The Northern loyalist is the most sensa tional creature on tho gJobe. IIe loves fast horses, fast women, gorgeous houses, fussy marriages, showj funerals, murder cases, adultery trials, old-flag sermons and clap trap death-bed scenes. He enjoyed hugely following the putrid corpse of old Abe day after lay from city to city. It was such a big sham that his whole soul -was filled with joy, while his loyal eyes poured out tears to the memory ofl the sainted martyr," who believed in neither God nor devil. That sweet week of weeping happiness will never be forgotten by the sensational loyalist.

It was better than the visit of Japanese Tommy and the Prince of Wales. The only thing that has afforded him an enjoyment approach ing to it was the rich sensation gotten up when McFarland shot the seducer of his wife, and Ward Beecher and another in fldel preacher married the dying adulterer to harlot and thanked God for the crime they had committed. The blasphemy was' so grotesquely hideous that the loyal soul was filled with unbounded delight I The very latest sham is the Boston Peace Jubilee. P. S.

Gilmore, the originator of this' stupendous humbug, is now as distinguished as Grant's bull-pup and ilU iKa.plotara gsiUoTlaa bcuvo portraits ot him. Gilmore tried the farce last year and made in clear money by it some $50,000 in loyal greenbacks. The jubilee ought to take place every fifty years but P. S. G.

had made too good a thiDg of it last year to. wait that loDg, so he got it upon a tremendous scale this year-and invited the whole barth to come and sing peace songs with him at Boston and pay 95 a head. He doubtless made. an hon est penny" by his peace principles, as 50,000 tickets were sold on a single day! The Boston Transcript comes to our office with 52 mortal columns, each 28 inches long, filled with an account of the jubilee, the description of the big build ing which they call the songs sung and speeches made, the illus trious gueBts present, the humbug and charlatanry practiced, The dimen sions of the Coliseum are as follows "Length, 550 feet; width, 350 feet; height in the clear, between the parquette and the centre of the root'r 140 feet roof supported by twenty-two arches of 400 feet span, resting upon pris galleries 75 feet wide on the two sides of the building and the eDd fronting the orchestra and chorus. "Daylight and ventilation have been specially attended to.

In each of the side walls are forty double windows, five by nine feet. On the ens there are twenty-four double windows, of the same size, and two large semi-circuiar windows, each twenty-five feet in diameter. Above these are triplicate windows, the centre division of which is arched, and just above is a rose window of a circular, form, fifteen feet in diameter and ninety feet from he ground. Flanking this central feature are triangular mullioned windows, forty feet by fifteen, following the slope of the roof. The clere story between the lean to and the trussed roof, contains a series of sliding windows, the row extending the entire length of the building.

There are eighty of these windows, each nine feet by five. In the lean-to roof are forty skylights, twenty on each side, over the galleries, the; sashes being eight feet by sixteen, more than twice the size of a common billiard table; and again in the upper roof is an equal number of still larger dimensions. The abundant light has been toned down by stained glass, which gives a peculiarly pleasant and finished appearance to the building; which would be unattainable with ordinary plain glass. Entrance to the building is effected by twelve doorways, each twenty-five feet in width." The building covers 4 j-cres of ground, is capable of holding 75,000 and the entire outlay of money is estimated at $500,000. Some 30 brass bands were in attendance, or about 2,000 instruments.

King William sent his band, and England sent one to join in the festivities on the anniversary of the battle of Banker HUH The choir to sing the peace eong consisted of 20,000 persons from all parts of the civilized globe. The special sensationalities were tho big drum, (as large as an ordinary room,) the big organ, and the anvil chorus. The organ covered a space of 30 feet wide by 20 deep and had a pipe 43 feet long. The anvil chorus was gotten up by placing a hundred anvils together, while two hun every one of them and go out 2 or 3 miles to the Lincoln Paper Mills. You will have about 48 hours to spend, before you can return to Charlotte, and if you can't spend the time pleasantly, and feel like a better man, and like there is hope for our country yet, then I would advise you to stay at home and never complain of hard times again.

The Lincoln Long Shoal Paper Mills are on the South Fork of the Catawba, 3 and 5 miles from the Wilmington, Charlotte Eutherford Railroad, and are doing more to develop the energies and resources of the country than any enterprise we Ijdve examined for a long You know the quality and amount of paper they make, far better than we can tell you. But the making of it is what helps the country. It gives employment to many men, women, boys, and girls. And the employment suits the female producer better than ploughing hoeing and grubbing in the hot sun, and is more remunerating. Thousands of dollars are circulated from these mills every week, the very thing that builds up a country.

A small farmer in the neighborhood says he has received $1,000 from Tiddy in cash, since he commenced this work, and can't tell what Tidily got for it made honestly by selling, and hauling wood, wheat, oats, hay, corn, fodder etc. No drinking and dissipation are allowed from Monday morning till Saturday night, and on Sabbath religious services Sabbath schools and preaching, are provided and well attended. Here is a ready market for rags at cents per pound, and sorghum cane after the syrup is taken from The blacksmith, wagon maker, farmer, gardener, carpenter, mason, school teacher and merchant, all find emploj'nieut at the hands of a reliable christian gentleman. These laborers and their employers don care wno is uovernor ot JNortn Carolina or President of the United States, provided the Government will let. them alone to mind their own business, and give them the same chance it tnves the laborer in New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.

We never thought a paper mill was so good a thing for the public before, and are now able to appreciate the remarks of Mr. Crocker in ngress a few weeks ago on the state of the country. He said The great benefit to the South from the introduction of paper manufacture is that paper manufacture is a -pioneer industry, and where one maun factunng industry has been introduced others are sure to follow in its train. La bor is thus diversified. A portion of labor is drawn from agriculture, while the profits of agriculture are increased by new con sumers.

Why, in viev of the present ner cessities of the South should we of the EAt seek to disturb a tariff which has done so much for us, until it has done the same for them for one, would rather buy, as I am buying, paper made in the mills of the Carolinas than the products of Enarland and Z. Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. Through the kindness of D. Schenck of Lincolnton, we have received a copy of an article published by him some years ago. It is a conclusive demonstra tion of the genuineness of the Declara tion Mr.

Editor: I see you publish an ex tract from a correspondent of the Charles ton Mercury, in your last, giving an ac count of Mr. Henry, an old soiaier, wno nad given to the correspon dent a personal incident of the Battle of King Mountain. From the lips of the same venerable patriot, I have some facts relative to the "Mecklenburg Declaration ot independence, on 20th May, 1775," which may be of interest to those who are anxious to be fully satisfied as to the truth of that declaration, so honorable to the Old North State. Mr. Henry, whom the correspondent rightly reports as now living in Bun combe county, and as a lawyer of emi neDce, states expressly that he was pres ent in Charlotte 20th of May, when the Declaration was made, and vouches his character for its authenticity.

Mr. Hen ry lived at that time with his father, on ine catawba Kiver. in tiaston countv. formerly nart of old Trvon ahnnt. 90.

His father then explained whai-the nature the oath was. Mr. Henry also relates that he rememoers well that their tavern bill was paid with 16 coppers, when they went to leave. I have all this from a nephew of his, who has just been to see the old veteran, and elicited these details among many others, interesting to every son of the "Old JVorth State." We have no doubt, Mr. Editor, that "Hawk's His tory" put this controversy at rest but in the mean time let "honor.be given 1 1 to wnom nonor is aue.

Very D.S. Southern mind is now open to kindness and may be magnetically affected by generosity. Let assurance at once be given that there is to be a General Amnesty and no general Confiscation. This is none the less the dictate of wisdom, becausent is also the dictate of mercy. That 'Slavery having, through rebellion, committed suicide, let the North and the South unite to bury the carcass, and then clasp hands across the grave." "Iam'jbr Universal Amnesty so far as immunity from fear of punishment or confiscation is concerned even though Impartial Suffrage should, for the present, be I did think it desirable that Jefferson Davis should be arraigned and tried for treason; and it still seems to me that this might properly have been done many months ago.

But it was not done then; and now I believe it would result in far more evil than good. It would rekindle passions thai have nearly burned out or been hushed to sleep; it would fearfully convulse and agitate the South; it would arrest the progress of reconciliation and kindly feeding there; it would cost a large sum dirfeetly.and a far larger indirectly; and, unless the jury were scandalously packed it would result in, a non-agreement or no verdict. I can imagine no good end to be subserved by such a trial; and holding Davis neither better nor worse than several others would have bim treated as they are." After giving this extract, old Horace goes on to address himself directly to the Club and does not hesitate to call them 'narrow-minded blockheads," It is conceivable that meu who can read, and who were made aware of this declaration for most of present and shouted approval of Mr. Fessen-deD condemnation of my views at the Club, two or three evenings thereafter can now prevena inai my aiamg 10 nave Davis bailed is something novel and unexpected? Gentlemen, 1 shall not attend your meeting this evening. I have an engagement out of town, and shall keep it.

I do not recognize you as capable of judging, or even fully apprehending me. You evidently regard me as a weak sentimentalist, misled by a maudlin philosophy. 1 arraign you as narrow-minded blockheads, who would like to be useful to a great and good cause, but don't know how. Your attempt to base a great, enduring party on the hate and wrath necessarily engendered by a bloody Civil War, is as though you should plant a colony on an iceberg which had somehow drifted into a tropical ocean. I tell you here that, out of a life earnestly devoted to thegood of human kind your children would select my going to Rich mond and signing that bail-bond as the icisest act, and icill feel that it did more for Freedom and Humanity than all of you were cqjnpetent to do, though you lived to the age of Methusela I ask nothing of you, then, but that you proceed to your end by a direct, frank, manly way.

Dn't slid off into a mild resolution of censure, but move the expulsion which you purposed, and which 1 deserve, if 1 deserve anv re proach whatever. All I care for is, that you make' this a square stand-up fight, and record your jndifment by leas and Nays. I care not how few vote with me. nor how many vole against me for I ktiow that the latter will repent it in dust and ashes before three years have passed.
