The North continued to proscouto the war, aiimithe South, after the bravest uid most desperate resist ano known in war's annals, was con quered. But now comes the North's trials. Now we are to see the test of her internal pt-ength . If out. of the dreadful war between the North and South a northern civil war arises ; if northern arliies march against each other, vengeance before them, and blood and death and desert behind, many Northern States will very soon weary nud sicken of tho .horrid work, and will probably adopt secession as tie surest und quickost remedy, fully relying upoun the nIlighLty troubles and perils of tile foderal governmenti as a perfect security against coercion. Most. likely the north wester i.States wi!l go off first, repudia. ling, of couse, their proportion of the public debt., ind thus piling higher the monstrous bmancial .burden upon ho shouldors of the remaining States. Theso will have neither the will nor the ability to bear ip under the crushing weighi, and so otihers will secedo, and then oth trs, till the whole north shall b divided up into such poor, litle non-debt-paying, fouble, mock nat1ionalities, as. a Itzn ofI~l A one of lie Mexican Stat es, or one of the .South Amorican ripublics, or one of wt petty, miserablo Gornan principalities might look uponi with Contempt and scorn.

T.Mahrekt The Health of the Town, 31any a time has it been saW tha.t the dwellera in the Town ought to buy tile small body of forest growth lying just to the west of it. #$ hat is every body's bslus ia.no body's business, and if the ohill and fever were as in different about taking kold of the denizens :f this onco notably healthy town, as these are to take care of their health, we need nut write thoao lines. Nor Jo wo expet to do one.paicLole of good by writin;; them. Thmore has never yet been found a citizen with guiption enough to take tie whole mattr in hand and by indomitable perseverance compel the community to open their eyes to what is beneficial to their hygione. Hero one and their anotie.' and everywhero else some other one is shaiking with the ohills, and nearly (if not) every one believes, who knows the facts of the caso, that broad marsh only A quarter of a milo duo west, whence blow night and day in the suminmer and early fall the west orn winida, is the principal cause of all this chill and fever. And they be. lieve further that oloacing away the original forest growth which inter Velos is peculiarly disattrous to the health of the town, and yet the clear ing goes on. There will soon be no trees to shako in that region, but we opine there will be lots of bones in this Oorporation to quiver to tile strokes of the chills. A Two-Sided Nuisance. This community and vicinity are just now-suffering from atn ovil that may or may not be remedied. Owing to the difficulty of keeping farm fences hraproper condition, the milch cows of town aro constantly making inroads upon half-protected crops. Owing to a scarcity of food these same cowscan not be kept up all the time. Hence cows must be turnid out and crops inust suffer. But this is not the worst feature in the case. Several cows have come home injured by gun shot wounds. It is hard to have one's cow thius mutila-ted, bnt it is equally so to have one's crop ruined. It seems to its sonm1 one having lands in tile immediate vicinity of town mlight turn a good deal of it to profit by enclosing a largo tract, sow. ing it down in simething for .stimmer and winter pasturage, and let the town cattle graze upon it for a cortain com pensation. Th land- holder and the cattle owvners would both be honefited by such "a .course. Isn' t. -~worth. whlilo eu thiC seriously Qf' such' a plan, especially in view *of the fact that probably the fence laws will be so mnodifledl as to require eattle owners to keep up their stock altogether 1 A Heavy Tax. The tax uploni the cotton. made in Fairfield this year will perhaps be in the neighborhood of sixty- thousaald dollars, about throe dollars por head for every muan woman and child in the District, white and colored. But in spite of this spitoftal tax we would not have our District even attempt to fol low those wisoneros who toll us not to plant eotton because itlhas a tax upoxn it by the Yankees of three .ceents a pound to seven and oight cents. a pound will be time enougfh to advise about short crops of cotton. In the tneantitmo, if several hundred thousand dollars can be turned loose in the Dis trict, even at a tax cost of sever al tens of thousands there is no uso to try to kill the first on account of the last. We believe our farmers and planters are all able to take care of their own itntei sts.. Anti-Repudiation. .We ropublisht from an exchange 4 letter from Hon. B. F.

It is wit': much regret. that I find my self c6mpelled to forego the gratificatiL'o of a meeting, face to face, wit-h so Iany of my old comradi-s, anti debarred the privilege of p:irticipinting with them in the noble work which, if I have coeceIv ed it right., it is the object of this ne(t mug to achieve.

It is vaini to look to our $ta:te, at present, its a covering bhiiel4to our maimed and mutilated com radei; o* to the orphans of our dead heroi-i. It. is, as it were, held in a state of auipension by the victors in thim late struggle, who seem to find some diffi culty In agreeing among themselves (,n the !position to be assigned us or the term - to be allowed us. It. is a que'siion of g ant moment, mnvolving, in my judlg hm~~kle late of constitutional -liberty : af .'Iconifiieient ;~bit one, it the deeta sion 6fbwhich we can take no part. We have~nade our fight, have beeni over conie, and have sub~mitted to an uincon dutional surrender. The questioi, is pro perly in the hainds of the conguerors, and there let it rest until they see fit tc decide it. 0 While the powerm of 'the State are thtus- inoperative and she is unable to do her full duty to her sons, it, is the glorious privilege of her true people', in whose hearts she'is enshrined, to combino their eflbrta and use every means in their power to make good the obligation to presofve from oblivion and sufl'erng the memnones anid families of her heroic dead. It had been in m~y thought for some time patst to organize, if possible, a Brigade. Association for the beinefit o the likipless of our Brigade ; and if othero Brigadesl wonia do the same, a central assoCiation of the whole might finally be consuimmated, which would be a common receptacle for cherished memories as well as a common centre from wvhich charity could be elficiently and largely dispensed. Our Brigade is so widely scattered over the State that it will h'tp impracticable to organize in timo to meet the necessities of the present emer gency, which requmres immediate action, such as can be taken by neighborhoods. You in your section are 'entitled to thfe thianks'of the Stato for leasding off in tliss direction, and I trust that your example will be'generally followed. And now, my dear. Lientenant, ac cept my thanks for the warmth of kind ness that characterized your letter. It stirred feelings of no common gratifica tion, -ad awal~ened sad but glorious recollections of my tiobte comrades whoc are and ever will be idetineod and asso ciated in my heart with thai sacred and hallowed name--"our country."

NAPOL,N ON RUSSIA AND Auriuir CA.-In Napoleoi's circular of Septen ber 10, addresm-d to the (ibloimicL rep' resentativets of lFrance, occurs. thu fA lowing remnarkiblo paragrn :i "An irresistable power-can' wo regret it?--iije!s the people io unite themselves in grand wasse., and is calls ing - the disappea ranieg of secondary States. This tendancy springs fromn the desire to plaeo general interest. under ti-. most afeideaciois of guarantees.

A SAI CONCI.USION.-Tho Charles >i News of Friday, says: "Disagreceable, as the prospect ily be, we are forced to conclude that, I without any'power in us to control the tide of events, we are drifting siowly back into the Union on the basis of the Constitutional Amendment, and that we will only coase to occupy our pres ont anoinalous position when we are represented in Congress by men who can take the test-oath, and- when our State oflices are filled by men who have never violated an express oathi of allegiance to the United Skates." In throwing out this Cautious "feel or" of public sentiment, does our con tiemporary wish to have it . understood that it, is not. the duty of every jourtal ist in the South, who is tru-e to her people to make at least an effort, to stein the tide, and deiiounce tire infai inous swindle that has set the -curr'ent in moti on ?- Carolin ian. - WHAT RUSI.Ns TiiINiC*Oi' A N Al.

The Moscow Gazette says: "No alliance is possible for Russia except one with the United States of Amnerica." Another Rulssian-lpaper, thlo Golos, otherwise aniolpponenit of tile journai~l namin, IS gjinto igreed with it uponl this mlatter-, and proceetle "Where arie the alliga of Russia in Europe ? Nowhore.
