Jan ti *f * The Love Bird. Thc maple is flushing in crimson spray, The cold and tho winter have passed away A little bird sits in the buds at play, And he sings and whistles tho live-long da One constant strain in a tinkling ewell, Like a fairy's touch on a silver bell. I know not if others can read so well The story his gurgling warbles tell ; Now pealing loud and' now sinking low. Now bursting and swelling with liquid ?ov. I>ut each rippling note, From his mellow throat, As it fljats along, Sings this sweet song : I love you, I love you, I love you. Way down in my heart a little bird sings, With golden plumage and scarlet wings ; His voice is clear as the crystal springs, And his notes, like a pattering of pearls, ho A gentle thing is that bosom bird, With tho tenderest tone you ever heard, nis strain is by softened memories stirred, And its key note is struck from one sweet His lay begins with the earliest morn, Yet e'en in my dreams it goes ringing on ; And that your heart beats, time To thc silvery chime, Pealing back thc same In a tone of tHrac; I love you, I love you, I love you. Life Insurance. The beuefits of Life Insurance have he fore been little thought of or discussed b people of the South, and hence by most o citizens ure very imperfectly understood, reasons arc appareut. Bet?re the war citizens as a rule were weaahy ?iud their | er ty so invested that uo uniter what baj. cd their families and children were ai provided for. Now the reverse is univer the case. The general wreck (caused bj war) of fortunes and destruction of seem and property of all kinds and cousequen cluctioa from wealth and uiiluence to a< poverty und want in some cases, causes versal attention to Life Insurance as the ly sure means whereby sure provision ca made for those we love, left to husbands. : ers, sons and brothers, who have titus druly been thrown for the support of t wives, their children, their widowed mot. anti orphaned sisters, (who would be le! case of the death of thcirn.ttur.il pro!ec pcnnyless to thc tender mercies of a I world and in a community already over 1 dened with the cares of their own fain and ??indred.) upon the resources of a st and limited inc >tne, derived i.-om some st property saved from the general wreck, from thc uncertain prc f s . f a business il upon a capital of a few hundred or thous dollars nt the most, which in the present settled state ol business is liable to bc sw away in one thor; week or month of un* cessful business operations or what is wc Jeri ved troon thc still mote uncertain sou of a salary dependent upon the power, \ and even thc cupriclcs und whims of enipl ers, who may themselves b^ dependent u] lhamercyot their creditors for their o business existence. Such are thc slender sources of nine-tenths of the Southern pto to day, and such they will be for somer ye to come. Therefore we feel it our duty call their attention to the importance of suiiug their lives at the earliest possible H ment before disease or death removes. 1 is their only chance to prov: Ie for the lo* ones dependent upon, them for support. J how mau}' whose attention is called to t faa, say, Ye*, Lifo Insurance is a g thing. I am going to taku out a policy t fall, or just as soon as my business gets b ttr, bul 1 cannot spare the money just no or I want to take out a policy for -SI0,000 $20,000 when 1 insure, and I cannot now lord it. To all such anel to all who feel 1 necessity of insuring their lives, wc say ins at once for what you are tibie, thus niak; what provision you are now able to do your families and increase your policies fast as you tue able. Procrastination is thief of time, and the longer you delay : greater the cost of insur'n g and the pren thc danger that disease or death will prevt you from carrying out your laudable ?ot? tions,aud the ouesyou love and meant to h: provided for ure lett to lament and sulfur fr your neglect. Again, we ofter, hear peut men say I have been thinking of insuring i life, Lut my wife objects, she never wo touch or ?.andie any moue}' obtained by t death. But how erroneous the argume She might just as well .-ay, and with cq propriety, that she could mil use the moi that you had deposited in Bank, or was re ized from the sale of any of your effects, avail herself .'.'"any of your property, lor s would acquire the right to do so only by y< death, and the cases would be exactly para el, as the money she gets in either ease con I through your foresight and economy, in ph ing it in one case in a Savings Bank or ol! i property, and iu the other in the hands of I lusuranee Company,-your object in b< i cases being to accumulate and lay by pr* I erty for the use of yourself and those dept ! dent upon you for suppor t. If any wives ht raised such objections, we hope when th read this article it will convince them of th error in entertaining such ideas, and courin . theui also bow unjust a position they occu| both to themselves and their children. V could say much more, btu this article h is raady grown longer than we intoned, and 1 will close by saving thousands of women a children have bren saved fruin want and d titution by the forethought of husbands a lathers who insured their jives, knowing p haps, more than they were willing to adu while living, that it was thc only way th could make sun' provision lor tbo?c they le j ed alter they weregone.-Constitutionalist. I? it True I Rev. J. T. Bonner, editor of the " Associa Reformed Presbyterian," in giving an accou of a r?cent trip to Newberry, says that npi the railroad he met wjlh Dr. M., a Profusa in the Southern Baptist Theological S?mtii ry, located at Greenville, S. C.. and " Dr. } 1 desired to know how it was that the poop ' of Due Wt st cou'd board students at twel dollars a month, when they, could nul do it ? Greenville for lesa than fifteen or sixteen dc '. Jar?. Our reply was. that we supposed tl goodj people of Due.West '.vere satisfied wil " small profits, nnd wer?; willing to work f the good of ahcif Institution*." Is it true that the people of Greenville a not. willing to do as much for our Institutioi there as people do in other places, or are tin speculating upon thc 'patrons of the Insl.it; lions there in limes like these? There ce tainly can be nogpod reason.why board ah . u be from twenty live to thirty per cent, hight - in Greenville than in Due West, and if tl people at Due West, make a " smalt profit ^ then the people of Greenville certainly roali: . j more profit than is entirely legitimate undi ls j all the circumstances, if this is a difficuli n ' which ought to be removed, surely the inte ?t ests of our Institutions at Orconvillo demar that it should be (lone at once.

This mysterious hrotherhood is spreading rapidly in Tennessee, Non h Alabama and Kentucky. In the former State, so rapid has been its rise and so overwhelming its progress as to create serious alarm in the breast of Gen. Thomas for the safety of the people of thatState. He has considered its introduction there of sufficient moment to induce him to make it the subject of a special report to Gen. Grant, and, if the newspapers are to be believed, the great "horse talker" himself has bet.ii thrown into a state of considerable trep idation on account of the doings of this re markable club. What the thin? is-its pur poses, plans, intentions or principles-re mains still a matter of conjecture. There are some who declare that the Ku Klux is noth ing more than the revival, undera new name, Of the once famous " Sons of Malta," or that it is, perhaps, only the new name for that well-known association of clever fellows in New Orleans known as "Ye Mistiche Krewe of Cornus.'' However organized, by whom and for what purpose, is, as yet, a secret known only to the faithful. That they have, as yet, been guilty of any acts which would warrant the charges which Gen. Thomas would insinuate against them, has cot been shown. They have, doubtless, had a great deal of fun-have put a big scare upon thc radicals and negroes of Tennessee, and aro now attracting more attention and comment in that State than even the great impeach ment humbug itself.

The long series of wro gs and outrages which they have suffered at the hands of secret Radical leagues have taught them a lesson; and the Ku Klux Klan, is the fantastic title of a mystic organi zation, which has arisen, as it were, in a sin gle night, and overspread the whole State, meting out swift, sure and terrible punish ment to the more desperate outlaws, and ter rijying their ignorant and deluded followers into Hight or good behaviour. The Kian pro fesses to be a mixed company of the living and tho dead, banded together in a common cause; ?ts errands of vengeance are alway.-, performed in the dead of night and with such weird accessories as invent them in the eyes of the superstitious, with peculiar horror ; and thc style ol its decrees, which are posted by some mysterious agency in public places may be judged from tho following: " K: K: K:-WOLF HOLE, BLOODY MONTH, Fair Moon, First ??our.-General Order No. 1 .:-Shrouded Brothers of Memphis, Division Nb. 02 .- In hoe signo ^ 12.

We have steadily warned the colored men of the South that the carpet baggers ft om the North w?re their worst enemies, for the worst Ot" all enemies are those who come in the dis guise of friends, who get nearest to the con fidir.g heart and into the innermost secrets of thc men they mean to use and then betray. We Lave told tho colored men that the Radi ca!-? and carpet baggers court and blarney them because they want to get their money and their votes, and they have never intended 11 ppvc thc negro anything but thc paltriest ofiices, appropriating all the good and fat ones to themselves. Wo have n case in point. Not long ago a delegation of colored men went from Charles ton, ii. C., to Washington to confer with tho Lbidicals in Congress on the subject ol send ing co'oivd r< preservatives from that Stale to Congres'. The delegation has returned to Charleston, and lucy bring back the answer, which is that the Hump" Radicals do not mint negro Congressmen sent from South Carolina. A Congressman*^ pay fer the term of two years, including mileage and allowances, is about $10,000. This isa large fortune for any Southern colored man, and not counting iii . honorable pleasures of sitting in the velvet cushioned chairs of the National Legislature and thc.satisfaction of dining with Charles Sumner and sleeping with Thad. Stevens, it is enough to set him up and make him inde pendent for life. But the Washington Rads cannot alford to give so good a thing to the negro-"man anil brother" as he is. the equal and peer of tho best, according to Radical theory, yet it is leo good for him and he must stand hack wink'his white mastera feast at the table and toss him the crumbs. In this connection the following opinion of ': Fred Douglass," the best educated and most talented negro in the coutnry, is worth copying : in reply lo the statement of a friend re cently conversing with him, Fred. Douglass said,very clearly and pointedly, that slavery was destroyed not from principle, but from policy, and" that ail that thc negroes have to bc grateful for is thc emergency that created the necessity of freeing them. If the black mau can trust any on?, that one is surely Fr?d. Douglass ? an-! thc negroes would find it more to their interest to heed this opinion of the " fore:iH'.-t man* of their own race than con fide in the demagogues who shout in the Southern State conventions, simply because they can't earn a day's pay by any other means. prom tho Omaha, Nobr.:sk.i, Herald. The Alabamians Coming. Fleeing from oppression unbearable, and from State crimes and tyraunies unparalleled in history, the people of the South, that peo ple who onco made it great and powerful, are escaping from thc outrages of a barbarous rule and from their desolated homes, as men flee from famine and thc pestilence. Hun dreds and thousands, and thousands upon thousands of these destroyed people, are leav ing the sunny land of their heart's best affec tions and former hopes, to find rest, peace, and security in thc North. Among them, large numbers of gentlemen from Alabama, are seeking homes in Nebraska. Their rep resentatives are already among us, men of the highest character, victims of the damnable aud insufferable negro despotism which Puri tan hate and vengeance visit upon them by the merciless power of the bayonet. Wc welcome the Alabamians. Nebraska offers them home aud pleuty, pcaco and se curii}'. If despotic and barbarous tyrannies drive them in ruin, poverty and distress from the midst of the objecLsof inherited affections and hopes ; if thc relentless sway of arbitrary power mocks at their calamity and laughs at the nameless woes of which these things aro the fruit, be it so. .

There can be no Peace while thei Injustice. Every day brings fresh intelligence ol iecp and increasing discontent in Ireland, was wisely said by Mr. Gladstone, " lt is to rely on time as acure for the evil. S hundred years had thus been wasted." T with their annual cycles, are past and g md yet the cry still is " peace, peace, v there is no peace." With England, there is neither fratei ?or cordial sentiment. The heart of the nf Erin docs not beat responsive to G Britain. He does not look upon it as his < his uative land. He rather regards it a: oppressor and his enemy. Seven huu< fears have effected no diminution in this ing. These have not bridged over the ] Although nominally one Government, I ire two distinct people, with the chasm wi separates them in reality, as deep and br as at any timo in the past. If we ask the reason of this, we may ? find a ready response. Ireland has n: Known England as an equal, but as a ri Her people have never had an equal voie Ihe laws, or the same representation. T have never been recognized as a co-equal | of the Government, but rather aa an anne territory, whose people should receive gr; fully whatever was doled out to them. England's sway to them bas been tba the conqueror. Their destiny that of a s jected province and people. Such a coi tion of things time cannot alleviate. ' (ires of patriotism, and of a sense of wn may be covered up, but aro still proser and nursed in the secret hearts and home: the people, and can never expiro as lou? any sentiment of justice survives. The Irish inhabitants of Canada and A tralia " said Mr. Gladstone, were conten and the great reason for their content \ that they possessed the fruits of their own hor, and enjoyed civil and religious equalil And herein is a great truth in history,of lost sight of by those who would rule by strong hand, hut yet which never has failed to vindicate itself. "Though years Elapso and others share as dark a doom, This but augments the deep and sweeping thoug Which overspread all others, and conduct Tho world at last to freedom." Ireland to-day is a warning to the Radi party at the North, of the inevitable result their unconstitutional course towards I South. There never can be permanent pea or fraternity, while exclusion and disfn chisement exists. The white race of I South will never be content with, or by th own acts acquiesce in the rule of an infer race. The Radical party has forced this issi Shall negroes or white men rule the Saut They have made all other questions subor nate to this. The appeal is to the people and the count This must be met and passed upon by t North at the ensuing Presidential electh The South has already passed upon it. Il white race stand as a unit upon it. And at last, in view of thc coming verd of the white race of the North, Radicalism self seems to hesitate at making an Ireland tbc 9uuib. Mr. Farnswurth, of Illinois, acknowledg that it was a necessity for his political orgs ization li to admit all (to U^J his own tern rebels indiscriminately to political rights, they wished to avoid the great calamity having a black man's party and a white mai party in the 'South." When, said he, M would come to that, when the people were vided into two parties, based on color, t black man's parti/ leonid yo to the dust." This is the language uttered iu Congress Tuesday last by one of the most pronouuc Radicals of that body. These arc the opiuions long since a nounced by the people of thu South and pt claimed by the Democratic p*rty. Tin would not have fallen from the lips of a Rt ical Congressman now but fer that wholesor regard for public opinion which thc approac ing great electiou inspires. We know not what may yet be in store ? thc people cf thc South. But we know th or else all experience is vain, and all histo false, that there must be an end to these o pressions and injustices of thc present.

January 10th, 18GS. $ Dear Madam :-I am happy to inform yo that 1 am well and have been well ever aim I left home, as have been all my family, am very well satisfied with the country-be ter saii.-diid than I ever was in all the dayst my life. I thought I was free in Amerie; but I was not until I stepped ashore in Lib? ria ; and I thauk God that I can now declar my freedom without any fear. It was twentj nine days after we left Charleston before w saw any land, and thc first land we saw ws Cape Verde, inhabited by tb?

The depres sion which ensued last Fall upon a partial failure of tho crops, and the steady decline in the price of the great staple has almost en tirely disappeared, and in its place we enjoy bright anticipations, founded upon the up ward tendency of Cotton, the probability of a large grain harvest, and the prospect that at no remote day a returning sense of reason on the part of those who exercise the politi cal power of the country will bring with it peace and prosperity. There is still another and great reason why Charleston ?3 likely to have a brilliant commercial future. It is that ber merchants, undaunted by the disappoint ments ol' the past, and not discouraged by the present political perturbations, aro perscver ingly and energetically progressing in thc work of laying a FO?? basis for their mercan tile transactions, and opening new source8 of revenue and new facilities for travel and trade. The apathy consequent upon the result of the war and other disasters is being dispelled by that necessity which compels the hand to the plough and earns bread only by the sweat . of the brow or the brain ; idle repinings and vain regrets, even if felt, are unexpressed ; shoulder to shoulder, aud man to man, stand our merchants, mechanics and artisans, and this army of willing hearts and hands is zeal ously and hopefully engaged in rebuilding material interests and rejuvenating our ai. cient ar d honorable city. So to-day is pre sented ts a fruition of labors already perform ed, and thc promise of others now steadily advancing to completion, the grand spectacle of a Metropolis arising as it were from its ashes on the vigorous arms of its almost des titute but undespairing children. The preparations which have been made to meet the incoming Spring trade are of tko most extensive character, and the tide of pur chasers from the interior has already com menced to flow in this direction. All of the wholesale houses . on Meeting and Hayne Streets, are teeming with the choicest and best goods which could be selected in the Northern and European markets, and the purchases having been made before the recent rise in prices, our merchants are now enabled uniformly to sell profitably at prices aa low as those claimed in New York, and, in many instincts, much lower. The facilities efforded by our rail roads which permeate nearly eve ry portion of the State, and the accommoda tions aflordedby our houses of entertainment, to say nothing of thc varied amusements which are being placed before our people, are prov ing irresistible inducements to country deal ers to select this market instead of going North-a plan that has always entailed delays and expenses which have very far outweigh ed the trifling differences :n the cost of any article which may have heretofore existed between New York and this point. In every aspect of the case, therefore, our friends from the interior will find it to their advantage to come to Charleston, where they will r.ct on ly be subserving their own interests, but aid- ' ing to rebuild a Metropolis which has done so much for their welfare in tho past-Charles I ton Courier. Concerning thc Nigger. The false delicacy for which Americans aro noted anarmicniea ny'-Jnielligeur-inruiguers-:-f is not limited to prudish ola maids, who would faint to hear the genuine English pro nunciation of tho good old Saxon word leg. The same disgusting affectation of retiuc-WHit i? found extensively pervading a large bouy of American politicians, who persist in em ploying the Portuguese word negro, ai:d in rejecting as vulgar the more expressive angli cised Latin word nigger. The reason why they co this is worse, if possible, than that which persuades the ancient spinster of New England to say limb when she means leg. The original ol the word in question is the Latin niger. Tho Latin pronunciation gives the long sound of i, the soft sound ol' g, und places the accent on the first syllable. In French, the orthography is changed to negre. It is difficult to indicate the exact French pronunciation by the ordinary charac ters of thc English alphabet- Any one, how ever, who has been in the Southern States, and has heard a Southerner pronounce '.ho word nigger, has heard very nearly tue exact French pronunciation of the word negre. The Southerner says negger. Thc Frenchman also says negger, articu... ing the final r so lightly that it is next to inaudible. In Portugese, Spanish and Italian, the word assumes the form of negro-aa orthography which is a further departure from thc original Latin than either negre or nigger. The word nigger is one of a very numerous class of Latin words that have come into the English tongue through the French. The square Saxon pronunciation of nigger, as heard in the Northern and Western States, is more in accordance with the innate vigor of our grand and stalely '* language ci' elo quence" than tue softer aud more Frenchified negger of the Southern States. But negro is not English, and cannot Le made English by adoption. Ic is a bastard from thc Bay of Biscay that only some pru dish spinsters in anthropological nonieiivla ture have attempted to introduce in place of the more expressive Sazonized Latin term, nigger, lt is an attempt at innovation of thc ?ame character as thar which essays to ais guise thc tolerably well known fact that we men have legs, and so on, by designating them as limbs, and so on. It is an affectation of delicacy which is disgusting to well-bred peo ple in one case, and ought to be in thc other. -Chiccgo Times. *? Our Country." The New York Times-which is still oscil lating between llepublicinistn and Democra cy in its politics-takes a ver}' singular exception to Mr. Davis' lat? letter in an swer to some friends in Louisiana. It says : ''But he only wrote a letter about 'our peo ple,'using that phrase to m^an exclusively thc Southern portion of our poople. Mr. Da vis bas written comparatively few letters since hi?, release from Fort. Monroe, but we do not remember one in which he did not suc ceed in dragging in, under some pretence, the words 'our people,' 'our friends/ or 'our country' in such a way as to apply only to the late Confederacy. Nor do we remember a single letter in which one wish was uttered by the spared Ex-President for the prosperity or the welfare of the whole country and pco ; pie, North and South, or the healing of thc : wounds of war in every American bosom." .
