JTrlday Morning, June 1865.
Look at Home.
I* ?8 in proof of the very vulgar mind
that it is not willing to look al ?tome for its
resources, either of pride or?pleasure. lt
wanders off or yearns perpetually after
the foreign and remote, lt fails to find
attraction in the familiar. With 6uch
mind?, it is-'distance lends enchantment
to the -view;" and the local association
takes from all the charms in thc prospect
This leads to absenteeism-lo tim neglect
of all domestic improvements-to a per?
petual failure in the development of all
the natural resources, of place. Mere
egotiitn and vanity are thus Constantly
bus}* in the disparagement of the native.
They find nothing good ai home but
themselves. But the worst influence of
this sort of feeling and thinking-if such
a course does not absolutely imply the
equal absence of thought and feelinc-is
to be found in social and moral effects.
Such people never believe in one another.
They have no faith in one another; they
regard their successful brethren as so many
rivals, whose successes are wrongs done to
themselves and likely* to substract from
their own importance. Now, one ?f thc
great secrets of success and distinction
among a people is to learn lo believe
in one another, to tiare faith iu one
another, and to take for granted that the
same benevolent GocTwho has made them?
selves has also fashioned among men other
spirits and souls, with genius, art and in?
tellect, adequate to the maintenance of the
race in its progress to the greatest heights
and the most diversified achievements in
the history of civilization. Faith in one
another is, in other words, that feel and
touch bf the elbow which, in an army,
makes the soldier confiden t of bis strength,
assured that he will have support fr O'm a
thousand'noble comrades when engaged in
the shock of battle and the trials of dan?
ger. Among the miserable class of ego
, tists who never seem to comprehend this
Jaw, r.nd who are continually, warring
upon the native developments and demon?
strations of*thcir own people, nothing is
more common than to hear them disparage
native! art, science und literature. For
these they wiil look on!}' ;ibro?d- aud th<:
bool;, thc picture ortho machinery must
come to them with the imprimatur of Lon
don or Paris, before they will condescend
to acknowledge or even to examine into
its merits. How common it is to hear the
dilettante of a provincial town speak
sneeringly of the native book and authot
-nay, they will tell you that they never
suffer themselves to rend thc writing!- ol
the American author. And you will heat
the author, in turn, but too frequently,
speak in terms of contempt of all native
art. All Iii is is the sheerest impudence
and should be met always by such a rep]}
ns ehall lay bare their own incompetence
to speak at all on any suth subjects. Su el
praters belong to a class having met
social position, presume in judgment npor
it, and forgetting the retort of Praxit?le
to the shoemaker, "iVY- xutor ultra crepi
dam," claim the right to preside as oracles
speaking ex cathedra upon subjects ove
which society has no authority-to which
indeed, Bociely is bound to defer humbly
as a debtor, depending upon their profee
sors for all the light and guidance whiel
shall conduct it safely on its march. Th
vanity of people, thrs presuming, blind
them to the fact that, in avowing thei
disbelief, in the genius of tiieir people, i
respects and qualities beyond their o TI
all such avowals of opinion are fatal t
nena more than to themselves. They are<
the family, tue same race, and it is eithi
endowed or not for the highest achievi
in en ts. If a race is competent to th
growth of a critic, why not to the growt
of author and artist? If equal to one d<
partmeut, why not to another and ever
other? If wanting in art and lileratur
how natural to assume its equal deficiene
in ali? If not unendowed in one dewar
ment which demands the 6ame requisit
of taste, fancy, imagination and excursh
thought, why should they lack in ar
province which abai' call for the exerci
of all these agents? But the notion is i
impertinence, as 6iirely as it is an absu
dity. The providence of God leaves i
a p. ti o rr utterly without the means, not on
of its extrication and deliverance, but
itu high moral and intellectual triumpl

sian tribe?, bad they tuleen the first step in
the discovery of "The Home Secret." Hut
here, was their difficulty, at the very
threshhold-the}' had no homes. The his?
tory of a national progress to civilization
may be comprised in few words. Thc
first step is to make a people stationary.
To be stationary, labor bec-omes inevitable,
as the habitual law of life; Labor begets
thought, training, method, morality and,
finally, art. These, in turn, beget thc
spiritual tendencies. From these come nil
the higher aim* of thc intellectual and re?
ligious nature.
Within a week, it is thought, hy the
Winnsboro News, that the cars from Ches?
ter will have reached a point but live
miles from the former town; and m a little
moro time, the oars are expected to reach
the village itself. Tile sooner the better.
Charles O'Connor, of New York, one of
the most able and. perhaps, thc very
ablest lawyerjof thc United -States, ami a
high-toned gentleman, lias applied to the
War Department of thu United Mates for
pennission to tender his professional ser?
vices to Jefferson Davis for hi't defence, in
cr<sc of his arraignment. Tile President
ha? consented to the application. O'con?
ner is not simply'a lawyer, but a states?
man, a man and a brave one.

Tur. CITY HELL.-Macbeth says to the
servant,
"Go, bid my lady, when my'drink is ready,
Siie strike upon the bell."
We heard a lady say, but a'day ago,
something akin to thia language of Mac?
beth. She expressed lier wish that the
City Counoil would resume a former cus?
tom, and have the town bell struck at 1 2
o'clock m. lathe loss of tho city clock,
many, families are deprived <>f the means
of knowing how to timi! their servants in
respect - to dinner. We suggest to J. he
Mayor the propriety of having thc hours
j struck at S in the morning, 12 at. noon and
9 at night. This would occasion little
J trouble to an officer, and would prove a
j groat convenience to a large number of
j citizens. The lady will then be able to
know at what time she should tell her
Jenny to put the kettle on,
To Axn FROM TH:: Cr COCVTHY.-We are
pleased to learn that wc shall have n
direct and cxpcdil ions communication with
the Greenville and Columbia Railroad at
j an early day- It is proposed to run a
light spring-wagon from the vicinity of
Alston, the present terminus of the-Green
ville, and Columbia Railroad, and in con?
nection with the accommodation trains on
I that road; returning, to leave-Columbia, in,
I time, to connect with thc train going up.
j A future advertisement will explain tho
j matter fully. Messrs. Zealy, Scott A Rruns
j arc thc agents here, and they hope to be
I ready to despatch passengers, having light
I baggage on Thursday, ?2d instant, at G
; o'clock n. m.
I THK SEASON.-Our gardens were need?
ing rain, when, on Tuesday inst, at, mid?
night, wc had a thunder shower, which
j made the vegetable and floral worlds re
j joice, yr G may expect, lrom thc sultry
: fires in the atmosphere and J's humid
i pressure, that we shall have other s?lowcrs,
J perhaps daily, through the week. Our
j skies are capricious, with the intense
j warmth of .Inno, blending with the uncer?
tainties and sudden changes of April. Our
fruits still promise well. Blackberries
entreat you to receive them at live cents
per quart; the plums go thc rounds, offer
ing themselves at the some terms; huckle?
berries, so far as our experience goes, arc
taking airs upon themselves, demanding
ten cents for their measure, and thus"
flinging a sneer upon plum and blackberry
alike, which is in bad taste, since the
huckleberry is, thia peason, of mest dimi?
nutive aspect. Tba peach crop still holds
its promise, as do the grape and apple,
and our good people, like M ?caw ber, arc
looking up, in the hope to soc everything
roms down.
