OurfDaty,
The duty of the-present hour is- to or
anize, to organize thoroughly, and at.
irce, to ueetthe great issue now con
ronting us. It is a question every
5outhern wan should feel deeply, warm
y, and one which should be taken hold
if vigorously. Shall we give up to ne
Cro radical rule ? a thousaid times, no!
must not he, and will not, if the peo
lie but do their duty. Some seem .not
.o see this issue, or the itnmen -ity of the
lefgradation or ruin which will follow a
vstem of careless indifference; and it is
,he duty of tho, who do appreciate the
>resent condition and future prospect, to
)reach it to the luke-warm, till all our
)eople realize the purposc of the radical
)arty, wh) not sati,tied %i ith the accoi
dilmeint of their plans so far, would, if
'1ch a thiog could he done, m11ake an infe
-iorllare our superiors. The work isgoing
iravely on, everywhere we hear the peo

Shree our last dispatch we have been

been under it, in. the wet. Both the up
per and lower regions however. have felt
its effeet,.- .For, during the haze which
intervened, though we have been fultill
ing our peculiar-lestiny and lining as
good stars, we have-been looking at you
as "through a glass darkly," and hence
the reason why'our notes of men and
things are desultory and mixed. We
have not been napping, ard have been

even smokitig their pride off into thin
air, in graceful wbiffs aid rings of Loie
Jack and other favuriie hrands of tob-ae

did you ever faU into it ? Of a clear day
we are forced to close our lattices to
keep out the everlastinlg, never-cea:ig

labor of love. "Go it while you're
