SELF-HELPERS.
Tho observant render of history
cannot fait to bo struck with the fact
that in all ages of tho world, and in
-almost all countries of the globe, men
have emerged from obscurity, penury,
) and ignorance, and by their own un-
assisted exertions have attained for
' .themselves positions of distinclion,
'. 'wealth and enlightenment. Such
men are emphatically self-helpers.
Such aro tho men whoso lives are
'briefly related in our "Poverty anil .
Genius." While others have been -

, sltlons as it some ban or spell proven- .
., W.-them from oseupying any others,
these men have pushed onward, am1
by their energy and enterprise have
arrived at the goal of their ambition.
While others have been deploring
their condition, and sighing Over their
limited advantages, these men have
set to work and bravely achieved for
themselves these privileges which
birth denied them. While others have
been idly waiting, Mienwber-like, for
something to turn up, these men have
labored hard to turn it up, and up it
has turned to reward their honoiaMe
exertions.
In looking back on the lives of great1 investigation lasted' some live or six
men, wc are taught that man, by his days, ami adjourned to meet at Iviiox
unaided exertions, may perform more j villc on the l'.h:londay of November,
wonderful achievements than were
ever wrought by the imagined hero of
an Oriental fabulist. They hutie call
ed light out of darkness ; they have,
made fortunes out of nothing; they
have attained positions such as birth
could not bestow and the proudest no
ble might envy.
And they have done this in all sorts
P nrwilinns. in Piece lii'rmeli of neen-
pation, and in spite of every descrip
tion of disadvantage's.
They came forth from the work

JOHN W, WHITE, THE UGDOUBT.

John W. White, of this city, and
late member of the Tennessee Logis
lat 11 re, has of recent date occupied
much of tho public attention, from tho
fact of being a man whose character
was considered irreproachable by
thoso who knew him, there not hav
ing been even the breath of .suspicion
against him, in any connection, previ
ous to bis arrest by tho United States
Marshal upon tho charge of forging
numerous Laud Warrants. The
charge was one of grave import, and
fell upon his friends and kindred like
the shock of an earthquake. His kin

grounds of a want of sutlieient evi

In a few weeks thereafter, the Mar

nnd many others, he has been enabled
to practice a fraud and a dwindle up
on the Government, poor soldiers, their
widows and orphans almost equal to
tho celebrated Gardner Galphiu
claims.
The fraud has been stupendous, and
that he has numerous accomplices is
umpiestionable, and that the hand of
retribution is close upon him, a little
timo will develop;.
As tho case now stands tho recog
nizance of $23,000 will be paid. If
John W. White bad made his appear
ance before the Federal Court at is nox
villi?, been tried anil acquitted, he
would have been arrested the third
time, upon eight additional eased of
hand Warrant forgeries, which were
of so recent a dale, in conjunction
with the facts that could have been
brought to bear upon them, I bat his
conviction would have been certain.
This information was given us by Col.
Lucien l'eyton, tho gentleman who
has conducted the investigation in
this swindle with so much ellicieney.
