THUKSDAY EVENING, .JAN. 5, 1871.
We find nothing remarkable in the
papers this morning, except a very com
plimentary notice iD the Whig of the Hon.
Charles H. Porter's last great speech in
Congress, which has had the distinguished
honor of being published in full in the
Olobe. Of this speech our contemporary
says: "We had the pleasure yesterday—
for which we were wholly unprepared—
that of perusing the speech delivered by
our distinguished representative iv Con
gress, the Hon. Charles H. Porter," and
then in another paragraph it pays it this
" gushing " compliment:
We have rarely read anything which pleated
vi more. For glowing, bold and impassioned
eloquence, and fur stern, pitiless, resistless ar
gument, we know of nothing to which to com
pare it except Burke and Sir William Hamil
ton. The style is occasionally a little crude
and inexact; but when it is remembered that
Mr. Porter made his reputation as a public
speaker in the Virginia Constitutional Conven
tion of 18G7-8, where little severity of style
was indulged in, this blemish is not so remark
able.
Our neighbor then goes on to mar tl c
grace of its compliment by criticising
rather closely and severely, we think, and
hyporcritically, the style of the speech. We
suggest, although wo aro not surgeon to Mr.
Porter, and, therefore, have no special
call to "bind up hia wounds and givo him
another horse,'' that were all the specchc,
and all the editorials, or even a tenth part
of them, that aro delivered or written
now-a-days, submitted to the Whig's cru
cible, to its test of criticism, very few
would pass muster half as creditably.
In another article, tho Whig, taking a
silly rumor sent by a Washington cor
respondent of the Tribune, for its text,
declares its apprehensions that the Presi
dent may re-open tho question of recon
struction in the South, —and theroupou
says:
If the President baa determined to re-open
reconstruction, and to fead a crusade against
the South, it is very clear tbat bis waning
popularity, and the rapid decline of his party,
admonish him ot tbe necessity of doing some
thing desperate to re-instate himself and it. If
wise and if mindful of bis standing in history,
the author of that ringing sentence, "Let us
have peace," will not so far stultify himself as
to start anew on the war-path iv order even to
ensure his re-election to the Presidency.
We havo no idea that there i 3 any inten
tion on the part of tho President or Con
gress to renew the agitation of this ques
tion, any further than it may be absolutely
necessary to hasten the complcta restora
tion of peace. The President knows lhat
the wounda are now fast healing, and that
all tho patient needs is quietness tnd
good nursiug. The few indications of
restlessness that show themselves here
•nd there were to bo expected.— I
They are the natural consequences of
the groat upheavel through which we have
passed ; but the President and the whole
country, even the Union people of the j
South, ought to rejoice that we havo been j
able to pass through the terrible ordeal so I
safely. Every true patriot now should .io
all in his power to "assist nature" in por- I
fecting tho euro. Let all irritating causes
be removed, and let us rather look to the
good and glory of the country, than to
more personal aggrandizement. General
Grant is too good a patriot to do anything
to disturb this happy condition of things.
He ought to know, if he doea not, that his
name is a tower of strength in the laud,
and that the people intend to sustain him
BDd continue him in office, and, therefore,
he can afford to act independently, and fejr
the good of the whole country.
The Enquirer devotes a column to the
colored voters of Georgia. It seems that
some of them there voted with the Demo
crats, as they did here, when Walker was
elected; and because the Northern Repub
lican papers berate them for having de
serted the party, our contemporary takes
up the old, old refraio, and says : "I told
you so." "We always said the Yankees
would prove the worst adversaries of the
race, and the Southern people their best
friends," &c. Hut we will give some ex
tracts as showing the tenor of the article :
The Yankee Republicans seem to be greatly
chagrined that some of tbe negroes In Georgia
preferred their own country to tbe Yankee
country. They gave suffrage to the negroes,
prematurely and by violenoe, simply to enable
them, through the negroes, to rule the South
ern country. They calculated on the stupidity
of the negro aud ou the malevolence of the
negro, as sure agencies to accomplish their
design. The colored men of Georgia have
shown themselves superior to what was expect-
II of them.
And then, further along, we have the
rllowing:
The New York Tribune, the kindliest repre
ntative of the Yankee claes who set up to be
iends of tbe colored man, devotes nearly a
lumn of its space to an account burlesquing
c negro voters in Georgia, and the style iD
hich they conducted themselves. We have
ways said that the Yankee would turn out to
be the worst adversary tbat tho negro would
hereafter have in America, as he has been the
hardest competitor tbat he has heretofore had
in America.
If the negro does not now sac. ifice himself and
his native country to promote Ibe views and
the interests ofthe Yankee, tbe Yankee will
pursue bim with more malice than would the
men of any other race on eartb. In the men
of the South and tbe West will the colored
man find his only protection from the persecu
tion of the Yankee of the regular nasal inlo-
Then, after quoting copiously from the
letter In the Tribune, written by some
irate correspondent, who has picked up a
few isolated cases, and from them judged
the rest, in which tho colored voters dis
played about tho same amount of ignor
ance and incapacity that the Tribune finds
at its own door among the "best Demo
cratic voters" on every election day,—the
Enquirer concludes:
If there is truth in all this, it is a bitter re
flection on those who have put this unprepared
suffrage on tbe country. The utter uufitness
ot tbe negro for proper exercise of the sufl'raie
ought to have been as well understood before
ai it is now. But it was supposed that be
i would cast his suffrage at tbe bidding or under
ifluence ol the distant adversary of Soutb
ociety, and not of its friends and mem-
The manner in which the votes of tbe
Bd men of Georgia have heretofore been
vas not less ludicrous than it is now rep
ted to be. But it was then in obedience
) men who unw ridicule and belittle tbe
i voter.
3 plain remedy for all this is t-> educate
legro, and to impart such prosperity to
iciety in which he lives tbat the wages of
will make bim independent.
ere is sound logic, true patriotism and
btened humanity in the last suggea
and we hope it will bo carried out to
llest consummation,
id now last, though not least, our
venerable friend of the Dispatch. He
talks bravely about "railroad scheming,"
and tells somebody that "no man ever hail
the world in a sling." That's accrdiug
to the kind of slin«. David when he slew
Uoliath and saved Israel with hia sling,
aid seem to hnv« the world just so ; and
W 'ir , c . seen . m °Dy a man who would
!i sling." Bat that, of course, ii I
are nor iherr.
>nteroporary is fighting his old
ainst railroad competition, and
tting. He looks forward hope
a "niilli'iiium" in these matters,
9 lion shall lie down with ths
d our railroads shall be even as
>ikes used to be. And although
is not yet, still our neighoor sayi
>me, when "overruling circum
ill settle down all schemes and
rado, regardless of the plans of
ins aud their partisans. It may
railroads that there is a divinity
es their termini, rough hew them
may." Good— termini is much
n ends. Had Shakespeare lived
of railroads he would have said
gist of the Dispatch's article is
in the following, although the
1 of the article was, of course,
snie that is coming before tho
' great presumption in men of com
o endeavor to prevent railroads
itlior communities from being built,
dy and selfish mind tbat would com
nunitv to submit tn circuitous lines

Ish gratification at tbe public ft
d there are laws established in tbe
based upon the eternal principles
rliich will sooner or later bring dis
ked defeat upon all such short
bilious, and avaricious scheming.
Ruinous competitions must have tbeir end;
inconvenience and hardships imposed upon
communities by grasping and vain men will be
abolished in time; and all tbe little nianoeuver
iug of men intended to set at nought justice
and fair dealing in the matter of transportation
and trade, mast be frustrated.
The senior editor compliments little Zoe
and Lila very highly for their trapeze per
formances, which is a compliment that
should ba cherished by them, coming from
the sourco it docs. Of littlo Zae, in par-
Tbey exceed any teats upon the trapeze we
had ever seen. Lila and Zoe and De I.aye ire
as wonderful as elegant io their achievements.
But we speak especially of Zoe, littlo sprite as
sbe is, whose feats exoeed those of all other

great artists of the day. She is the boldest, I
most rapid and agile of artists in this elegant
department of human activity and masculine [

be amply rewarded by visiting the theatre,

HELMBOLD'S EXTRACT OF BUCUU.—Hundreds
suffer on In silence, and hundreds of others apply
vainly to druggists and doctom, who either merely
tantaliae them with the hop. of a cur. or apply
remedies which nuiko them worse. I would not wish
to assert anything that would do Injustice to th.
afflicted, but lam obliged to say that althongh it
may b« produced from excesslvo exhaustion of th.
powers of life, by laborious employment, unwhole
some air and food, profuse menstruation, tho use of
lv and coffee, and frequent childbirth, It is far of
tener caused by direct Irritation, applied to th. mu
cn.r membrane of the vagina itself.
When reviewing the causes of those distressing
oomplaints, It is most painful to coutempl.te the at
tendant evils consequent upon thorn. It is but st__
pla Justice to tbo subject to enumerate a few of t
many additional causes which so largely affect the j
life, health, and happiness of woman In all classes of j
society, and which, coßsequeutly, affect more or leas
directly, the welfare of tb. entire human family.—
The mania that exists for precocious education and
marriage, causes tho years that nature designed for !
corporeal developement to be wasted and perverted
in tho restraint, of dress, the early confinement of
school, and especially ln the unhealthy excitement of
he ball-room. Thus, with the body half-clothed,
and the mind unduly excited by pleasure, pervert
ing In midnight revel the hours designed by nature
for sleep and rest, the work of destruction Is hall
accomplished.
In consequence of this early strain opon her sys
tem. unnecMury effort is required by the delicate
votary to retain her situation in school to a later
day, thus aggravating th evil. When one excite
ment Is over, another In prospective keeps th. mind I
morbidly sensitive to impression, while the now con j
i stant restraint of fashionable dress, absolutely for
bidding the exercise Indispensable to tho attainment [
and retention of organic health and strength; the
exposure to night air; the sudden change of tempe
j rature, the complot. prostration produced by exoev
sire dancing, must, of nocessity, produce their legiti
mate effect. At last, an early marriage caps tbe cll
max of misery, and the unfortunate one, hitherto
so utterly regardless of the plain dictates and remon
strances of her delicate nature, becomes an unwill
ing subject of medical treatment. This is but a
truthful pi.turs of the experience of thousands of
our young women.
Long before the ability to exercise the functions of
the generative organ., they require an education of
their peculiar nervous system, composed of what la
called tb. tissue, which Is, I common with th. fe
male breast and lips, evidently under th. control of
mental emotions and associations at an early period
of Uf. ; and, as we shall snbsequen tly see, these emo
tion., wh.n excessive, lead, long before puborlty, to
habiu which sap the very life of their victims ere
nature has self-completed their development.

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who hare injured then
selves by improper indnlgencios and solitary hal II
which ruin both body and mind, unfitting them f.i
either business, study, socioty or marriage.
Theee are some of the sad and melancholy oflWte
produced by early habit, of youth, viz : Weakness o
the Hack and Limbs, Pains In the Head, DiniEew o!
Sight, Loss of Munculai Power, Palpitation of rhe
Hoart, Dyspepsia, Nervous Irritabllitv, Deraniroruent
ofthe Digestive Functions, General Debility." gymr..
Toms of Consumption. "
MENTALLY.
The fearful effects en tho mind ere much to br
dreaded. Loss of Memory, Confusion of Ideas De
preseion of Spirits, Evil Forebodings, Avorsir'u Ir
Society, Self-distrust, Love of Solitude, Timidity A"
•re some of the evils produced.
Thousands oi persons ol all ages can now |vug'
what is the cause ot their declining health le,. hi.
their vigor, becoming wuak, palo, nervous and >• a
elated, having a singular appearance aboßt __*.ye
cougn and -ymptoiu i of consumption.
YOUNG MEN
who have injured themselves by a certain practict
lurlulged In when aloe—a habit frequently learned
from evil companions or at school, tho effects of which
are nightly felt, even when auloop, and, if not cure,
renders marriage Impossible, and destroys both mine,'
end body—should apply immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hope ol hii
oouutry.the pride of his parents, ehonld be snatoueo
from all prospects and enjoyments of life by theoon,
sequence of deviating from the path of nature and
Indulging in a certain secret habit. Such ner.cn.

of shame or droad of discovery deters him from an I

bllity, can alone befriend hiui. He falls into tin I
bonds of ignorant and designing pretenders, who, II
capable of curing, filch hrs pecuniary substance, keet I
him trifling month after month, or as long as the I
smallest foe can be obtained, and with dispair leave I
him with ruined health to -iyh over his galling dm I
