Thc Poor Mao's Jewel:
My home is a poor ono
To all who poss it by;
They cannot iee its beauty,
And neither, faith, can I
That is, to punt or timber,
In doorway or in roof
But that it has its beauties
I'll quickly giro ye proof.
Come hither, young ones, hithc
Your father's ! teps are near
That's Bess with hair so yellow
That's Suo with eyes so clear
That's Will with tawny trowaei
Tucked in his .stocking leg ;
And yonder two wee darlings
Are bonny Jean and Megg.
A cluster of fine jewels,
Five in tho rugged set ;
If any man has brighter,
I havo to learn it yet.
And, Tom, when I am swinging
Theso arms with weary strain,
Their blessed faces cheer me,
And make me strong again.
I sometimes sit and wonder
"What will their future bo ?"
If they must del vu and patter
A treadmill round like me,
And scarcely, at tho year's end,
Havo half a groat to spare
And see bad men put over them,
'Twill be too hard to bear.
But then, I think, as nations
Risc in thc scald of might,
dod puts thc poor man forward,
And gives him power and ligh
And learning, Tom, will do it
And Christian truth will show
That Heaven makes no distinctio
Between thc high and low.
So, though my home's a poor one
To all who pass it by,
And nono can see its beauty,
Savo mother, God and I,
Thc future may be grander
For some great glury won
Somo gem set in tho ages
By CT cn a poor man's son.
Thc Constitutional Amondmci
Senator Sharkey, ol' Mississippi, has
thc bull by tbo horns. Anticipating th
islative session of his State, he has wri
letter to Governor Humphreys concerni
constitutional amendment, urging its
tion ii presented for ratification. Ile
he following solid reasons for spurning
lu the first place, it is not believed
the amendment war. reco ?mcndcd bj
thirds of Congress, as a body so com po
not the Congress of the United States, i
siderablc number of Slates being exe
from representation. Any body of usi
may as well claim to be the Congress c
United States, and New York and Pei
vania, for instance, may so manage to ex
first ono small Slate aud another, unti
control the legislativo power of the ni
.with equally lui much propriety as thu ru
tv how excludes'States ' from represent
We cannot be told that becaus? wo ad
the anti slavery amendment we recog
the present Congress as constitutional, fi
bad not then elected or sent members t
Congress which recommended it, as we
done in thc caso of the ponding one.
No resolution can be communicated t
States except through the President; ai
thc proposed amendment was not submi
it is a nullity.
Another objection to tho ameudinei
t hat while it prohibits thc States from .ab
ing the privileges or immunities of citi:
it does not specify what those privileges
that being left to Congress, which is em]
ered to enforce the article by appropriate
islation. Congress may confer privilege
one class to thc exclusion of another ;
may assume absolute control over the pe
and their domestic concerns, and thus v
ally abolish the State.
The second section, in regard to n
suffrage, would probably exclude at least
State from representation, us tbo mimbi
male negroes over twenty-one is equal to
number of white males.
The third, ordisfrancbising clause, is sw
ing io its effect, for lhere are few who!
not in some way or another taken au oat
support thc Constitution. Such a provi
would be so contrary to tho theory of
Government, and so oppressive towards a \
large class of the population of thc South
St?tes, that it cannot be supposed that tl
who proposed it could b:.ve entertain;
hope that it would be accepted. They ot
to have known, too, that such a provi;
was calculated to endanger the existenc
Government, as revolutions may always
expected, sooner or later, from nets which
franchised the enfranchised acts.
The fifth section is the Trojan Ho
abounding in mischief. [t provides t
" Congress shall have power to enforce,
appropriate legislation, the provisions of I
article," which may be consirucd to authoi
Congress to do whatever it may desire to
Should the amendment become a part of
Constitution, we shall have a far differ
Government from that inherited from
fathers. .
A VIRGINIA VIEW OF THE CONSTITUTION
AMENDMENT.-Thc Petersburg Index, of W
ii csu ay says:
In the event that thc elections held on j
terday disclose Radical majorities, an atten
will, at once, be thade to play a bluQ sat
and to intimidate thc Southern States ii
adoption of (lie constitutional amendment. S<
styled friends Twll whisper that it is better
yield this one time, as if all the concessfr
wc made last year had not taught their o
lesions. To all this bluster and the sugg
lions of thc tempter, let us oppose a go
consc;'i.nce, a quiet discharge of "thc duties
life, and a firm, unwavering resolve to
nothing that is mean, cowardly and disgrat
ful. There need bc no fear of the adopti
of this amendment. If all thc Northo
States were to be temporarily led astray 1
passion and excitement, the Southern Stat?
simply by a policy of u masterly inactivity
can defeat tho .amendment until thc balan
of tho Northern Stales shall, like Oregon, c
pungo the ratifications hastily given und
passion and excitement.

, SHOOTING AND Anso.v.-Wo learn that (
? Sunday night, the family of Dit Dorroh
1 tiiis District were r.roused by some one cal
1 ing for Ur. Dorroh. One of his daughte:
I went to tho door, when she waa fired upo
luckily without effect. Her father comiti
out at thia time found his barn on fire and i
act of giving an alarm was shot in the shouh
. er, dangerously it is believed. Another daugl
ter then came out and throwing herself bi
fore the fiendish perpetrator of this act, bi
sought him to spare her father. Threats an
violence were given instead, and 6hcw?s toi
to get out of tho way or ho would shoot he;
Clinging still, suing for mercy, the piste
was presented and fired, but again provider
tiallj missed its mark. Thc would be ans?
sin then fled. Tho barn was burnt to th
. ground.
! ' We learn that Mr. Bennett Wnllnce. r
Laurens District, has been arrested and cum
mitted to jail, supposed to be perpetrator c
the above outrages,-Newberry Herald, 17tl
. An Able and Creditable Paper.
. At the session of the United Skates Dis
trict Court, held last week at Charleston,
Judge BRYAN presiding, the Gran?! Jury, jn
their presentment, submitted, in conclusion
of their report,' the following in reference to
the state of the country, which 'will bo read
with interest :
The Grand Jury, before closing th jir duties,
feel constrained to refer to the state oi'thecoun
try. The peace now reigning throughout the
whole country after four years of civil war of
the most sanguinary character recorded on
the pages of history during the last century,
is a source of most devout congratulation.
"When we look around and witness the Civil
Courts fully organized, and know that ail
our wrongs and grievances will be adjudicated
before a jury of our countrymen, instead of
before Militari" Courts and other tribunals of
a similar character, we have ample cause to
be thankful fo:: the peace which we are now
enjoying, and ?hould ardently desire that the
sword may evsr remain sheathed, and that
our country may never know war any more.
It is fervently hoped that the National Con
gress, at its next session, will dispassionately
consider the state of the country, ai*d direct
its whole efforts to bring about a full restora
tion of tho Union by the admission of all the
States to that representation in the National
Councils guaranteed them by the Constitu
tion, and entirely remove or modifi' all dis
qualifying Acts, especially the Test Oath, by
which the citizens of the Southern States are
debarred from accepting offices that v-bey are
eminently qualified to fill, and in doing so
would reflect credit upon the nation at large.
Our Northern brethren should exercise a good
degree of charity in their legislation, and re
member that the poople of the Southern
States, more especially the people of South
Carolina, have been educated in the school of
States Rights doctrines, and really believed
that tLeir allegiance was due to tb-; State,
and that the Mate, not thc citizen, owed al
legiance to the General Government. They
honestly believed such to be their duty, and
so acted. Now that it has been decided that
the citizens allegiance is due to thc General
Government, they have accepted the issue,
and will faithfully abide by it. In view of
all these facts we trust that at an early day
all barriers to a full and complete restoration
of all the States to their equal rights will be
removed, and that we will again present to
the world the happy spectacle of a united
people.
The Grand Jury would ateo direct the at
tention of thc proper authorities of the Gov0
eminent to thc case of the Hon. Jefferson
Davis, who has been held in confinement
since the 23d April, 1865, and most earnestly
urge roon them to use all efforts to gi/e him
a speedy trial, or release him on bail. It is
but justi?o that he should be tried or released.
His counsel have made repeated efforts to
have him bruught to trial, and are still ex
erting themselves to that end. His longer
detention withont a trial cannot but reflect
with discredit upon the country, whilst the
common dicta.es of humanity demand :ipcedy
action in his case, as his bodily heal?h and
mind are fast becoming irreparably impaired
from his long imprisonment.
Judge BRYAN heartily sanctioned the re
port, and iu formed the Grand Jury that he
would fake great pleasnre^n forwarding their
excellent and patriotic Presentment lo the
authorities at Washington.
Emigration from the South.
Wc'have seen with regret the fad. that
some five hundred white people of North
karolina are now on t heir way, in one body,
as emigrants to the Northwest. We are sor
ry to see the South thus losing its population,
when there are such imman30 capabilities
there needing development. Why ia this
?.\'odus of the white population of the i louth,
ern States? " Not knowing tbe particular cir
cumstances of the movement of this body of
people, we canno: speak with ccrtai:.ty about
it. But we veay much fear the violent course
of the Radical party toward:- tue So ith is
creating a general feeling of apprehension
very antagonistic to material prosperty.
The extravagant threats aud thc malignant
spirit evinced by some of the ' leading Radi
cals are well calculated to alarm the South.
The people there are afraid of an annulment
of the pardons granted by the President, and
a general confiscation of property. Besides
all this, the Southern ppople cannot but see
that they are to bs subjected to a perpetual
ngiiation about negro equality. They sec
that thf? Radicals will never stop this side of
u.-iiversal suffrage ; and where thc?-'negroes
arc in such vast nn:.iuers as ia the Sou.herir
States, this is bj no means an agreeable fu
ture.
Not long since the people ot Connecticut
refused at tho polls to establish general negro
suffrage. If they, with abolition and negro
equality beat imo their heads with fists ec
clesiastic for the last thirty years, and with
only a handful ol negroes to get the benefit
ul* voting, cannot stomach negro equality at
the polls, is it strange that the people ol the
South look upon it with absolute horror?
They have not had the advantage of a long
schooling in this direction, and besides:* the
negro element with them is immense.
How much to bc regretted it is thai, the
Christian people cannot make just allowances
for the Southern peopje in reference to the
tender subject of negro equality.' But we do
not expect such rational consideration i'rom
the Radical party. Such is its fanaticism and
its unhappy prejudice against our erring
brothers of thc Anglo Saxon raco at the South,
that if the power of the Federal Government
is pcrinaneutly mnintained in their handt, we
have thc most melancholy forebodings IA to
the future of the South. Those meu ca.u des
troy, but they cannot build up. Like their
prototypes of the mountain iu the French
National Assembly, it is only necessary for
them to have tho opportunity to.prove them
selves the greatest architects of ruin thc
world ha^e' erseen.-National Intelligencer.
One of the richest specimens or a real
Irish bull which has ever fallen under our
notice says an exchange, was perpetrated by
the clever and witty, but blundering Irish
kuight, Sir Richard Steele, when inviting a
certain English nobleman to visit him.
" If, sir," said he, " you ever come within
a mile of my house, / hope you will flop
! there!"
Another by the same gentleman is worth
' recording. Being asked how he accounted
for his countrymen making so many bulls, he
replied : " I canuot tell, if it is not the c?'ecl
i of climate. I fancy if an Englishman wai
f born in Ireland he would make just as many.':

Trouble Ahead.
'The .New York Commercial, Republican,
Radical, as it is, secs breakers ahead.
We regret, (says the editor) to have to
confess that we see nothing but trouble and
evil in tho future of our country. The people,
from one end of the country to the other,
shut their eyes to the most palpable truths.
They have believed that violence could re
store the Union. To 'attain this cherished
object they' have advocated war, and have

They have been led to believe that the rise of
price caused by the use of a vicious currency,
daily fluctuating in value, and therefore unfit
for the purposes of commerce and industry,
augmented their wealth 1 They have con- .
8ented-nay, urged the imposition of the
most oppressive, the most costly, and the
most vicious system of taxation, after these
had been condemned by every intelligent
mind in Europe, where these systems have
been tried and abandoned. They have been
lcd to believe that the national debt, which
mortgages the entire property of the country,
as well as the future products of its labor,
was a blessing to the people and an addition
to their wealth. They have been led to be
lieve that placing obstructions to the ex
changes of commodities with foreign coun
tries was beneficial to the industry of the
country, and that the enlargement of tho
powers of the Federal government at the ex
pense of the individuals that~ compose them,
was necessary and advantageous. They over
look the corrupting effect of our miserable
political parties, of the vast increase of Fed
eral patronage, and the important fact that
no people deprived of individual liberty have
ever long been prosperous and happy. The
self-deception which induces our people to
shut their eyes to these great truths prevents
i hem from profiting by the dear-bought ex
perience of other nations, and will force them
to acquire knowledge through the bitter Imita
of the erroneous measures to which they
have resorted to meet present emergencies.
Nothing but a total change in the policy of
our government can save us trom future evils
of great magnitude. Have we sufficient in
telligence in the country to discover this, and
sufficient talent and courage to apply tho
proper remedy ?
Cv/NFEDERATE CONSCIENCE MONEY.-In our
Washington new*, says the New ^.'ork Stow,
there was an interesting fact mentioned,
which cannot but make ono reflect on tire
truth of the old adage that " honesty is the
best policy." It appears that the Secretary
of the Treasury has received a communica
tion from*an anonymous correspondent at
Goldsboro, North Carolina, enclosing two
hundred dollars in Confederate treasury notes,
which tho writer says he was overpaid by
mistake during thc- fast year of the late war
in some dealings with a Confederate quarter
master. The w.?ter of this anonymous letter
excuses this apparently Quixotic proceeding
on his part by adding that, being a Union
man, he would not return the morey to tho
Confederate Government, feeling that he was
justified under the circumstances in retaining.
it ; and.now believing that the Confederate
debt might possibly be assumed by the United
States Government, he encloses the same to
the treasury. How wonderful to think that
in the nineteenth century, and in North Caro
lina, such an example of rare honesty could
be found. If Socrates, in his search after an
honest man, could have dropped in at Golds
boro, how delightful he would have been at
having succeeded in his quest, instead of
having to return to Athens a disbeliever in
tuc purity of human nature ! And the best
proof of the disinterestedness ol' thc Golds
boro conscience-stricken Unionist is the fact
that the sacrifice cost him nothing.
