I come, r come, from my mountain home,
I come frotn the vale and the glen,
fos With stores collected were e'er I roam,
To scatter them down again.

And tcke them over the world abroad

Front poisonous blooms with the bee I sup,
. And I draw from the river's flow ;
I take from pools and the stagnant fen,
From the brine and scum or the sen,
From baneful weeds and the stenchy pen.
And the mould'riag tiunk of the tree ,
And mingling, I mix thetaallin one,
The pure with nauseous and vBn;

Far in my course, along t rush, And
drip it all down on their face,
The rote's blush takes a brighter flush,

And the dahlia rears her queenly, head '
More gracefully stiil as I flow; And
loftiest trees and the humblest weed
More beauteously flourish and grow.

New beauties rise to the gazer's eyes
At touch of some magic wand.

THE NATIONAL FINANCES.
Mr. Secretary MoCulloch has reoeotly
famished a statement of the National debt,
OA it efnnA fififlon d?in *an Ttio amnnnl
"? ?W?W **?WV4* VHIJX "fjW * "V MW.W-W.
then outstanding was $2,757,253,275
The debt bearing interest in coin is 91,108,622,641,
on which th$ interest is 964,521,837.
Tfce debt bearing interest in
lawful money is $1,280,156,545, on which
the interest is 874,740,630. The debt on
which interest has ceased is 91,527,120:
The debt bearing no interest is $357,906,990.
The total interest, both in coin and
lawfnl money is 9139,262,468. The total
of legal-tender notes in circulation is $685,236,269.
The amount of fractional currency
is $25,750,000. The amount of ooin
in the Treasury is 975,338,000. Total
amount of coin and currency in the Treasury,
9116,739,632. .
Stupendous as this debt appears, there is
nothing in its proportions to ocoasion apprehensions
of either possible or probable
repudiation, if prompt and energetic steps
conl<l be immediately taken to reduce our
national expenditures. Of the 1,000,000
troops who were under arms in April, 700,-1
000 have been mastered oat of service;
' bat between 250,000 and 300,000 arc still
nnder arms. The estimated expenses of
the Government are still nearly $50,000000
per month, or, in roand numbers,
$600,000,000 per annum. Indeed, it bos
been oomputed that the expenses of the
Government from the 1st 'of July last to
the 1st of February, 1860, will amount
to $334,000,000. The probable expenses
of the War Department .are placed at
$200,000,000,000, and those of the navy at
$40,000,000, or $240,000,000 for both
branches of the. service for six months.?
Oar receipts in that time, it is estimated,
will not exceed $296,000,000, which amount
falls abort of meeting the expenses
of the government and the interest on the
national debt together nearly $40,000,000.
From this it will be perceived that, as peace
now prevails, the expenses of the army and
navy might be easily reduced $70,000,000,
whioh would leave a handsome surplus.of
$30,000,000 iu the National Treasury ou
the 1st of February, 1866.
The available resources of the Federal
Government, pending the period to elapse
before the action of Congress on that subject,
which cannot occur before the 1st of
February next, is a subject of interest at
the present time. The following extract
from the Chicago Tribune assures us that
they are ample. The national debt will be
inoreased somewhat, but it is reasonably
certain that no serious embarrassment can
oeour for the want of funds:
mi 1 ij it. m

if about $36,000,000, and of balances in
the Sub-Treasuries to the credit of the department
about $30,000,000. Here i'b an
aggregate of aetpal available means for the
coming six months as follows: Loan, $184,000,000;
revenue, from all source^, at least*
$179,000,000; cash on bend, $65,000,000,
being a total of $428,000,000. I must
again add that not a few gentlemen in position
to knowingly judge of the revenue
receipts during the period to the 1st of
February, put the amount at over $200,000,000
instead of $179,000,000, whioh figure
1 use. To this aggregate of $428,000,000
must be added, as part of the capital with
whieh the Treasury can be managed during
the fall and winter, the authority to issue
certificates of indebtedness without limit.
' Of course It bow becomes important to
inquire what bills the department must
mept prior to next February. On this head
I preface by saying that the aggregate estimates
for the whole fiscal year ending
with next June, are but about $650,000,000.
The main item in this estimate is $480,r
000,000 for the War Department?for the I
whole year remember; or say for the inter-1
veiling six months, $240,000,000. This
was made on the supposition that we should
have a large body of troops in service till
{all} that the war might continue through
the summer, that there would be the waste
and cost of much fighting, that there would
be the ezpense of large transportation?in
a word, that the expense of the last summer,
fall and winter might be substantially
continued for several months after the beginning
of the fiscal year. Yet only one
month of that has passed, and the army is
but a shadow of its former self.
The next most important item in the estimates
for the fiscal year is $112,000,000
for the Navy Department?or say $56,000,000
for the half year. The same state of
facts which warrants the reduotion of the
War Department estimates abont one-fifth,
[ gives me authority for saying toattne JNavy
Department wiU ask for no mora than $40,000,000
during the opening six months.?
For the civil service, pension list, internal
works, &c., &c., tbe aggregate estimate for
the year was less than $60,000,000, and we
may grant that about 825,000,000 of it
must be paid before February. Here then
is an aggregate 'as follows: War Department
for the oomiifg six months, say $200,000,000
j Navy Department, $40,000,000;
all other departments, $25,000,000?being
a total of $265,000,000.
To this showing I add that there will be
abont $32,000,000 gold interest and $37,000,000
enrrenoy interest to pay during
the.same period?the gold being already in
the Treasury. I farther add that, while in
estimating the resources cf the department,
I make safe and snre work by calculating
on the smallest figures; in giving its liabilities
I face the largest estimates.
Now strike the balance. The maximum
of liability for the Bix months is, say in
round numbers, $335,000,000, of which a
considerable proportion will be settled with
interest-bearing certificates, and of whioh
another considerable proportion can be pat
over till Congress adopts .farther financial
measures. The minimum of actual resources
is $428,000,000, to whioh most be
added all*tbe receipts from sales of .proper-'
Jtj by the War and Navy Departments, and
the power to loan at least $100,000,050
more through certificates of indebtedness..
"What is here for fear, or doubt,, or
dread?"
APPLICATIONS FOR PARDON.
His Excellency Governor Perry has finished
the Greenville Mountaineer with the
following rules to be observed in making
applications for Pardon : ?
The Petition must be addressed to His
Excellenoy Andrew Johnson, President of
the United .States.
It should state the residence, occupation
and-age of the applicant.
Which of the fourteen exceptions he is
t* 11 i - ? * *a a _ v? a _ a _
uaDie to, ana mat do is exciuaea irom me
clemency of the Amnesty Proclamation by
none of the other exceptions.
Let him state fairly and trnthfally, any
cironmstances which may entitle him to Executive
clemenoy.
He most express his loyalty to the Union,
and his purpose, in good faith, to preserve
and maintain it for the fatnre.
He mast state that no proceedings have
been taken oat against him or his property
under the confiscation act.
There are two oaths to be endorsed or
acoompany his petition?one that he has
read the Amnesty Proclamation, and is not
liable to any other of the fourteen exceptions,
than those eta ted in his Petition?
the other oath is that prescribed in the Amnesty
Proclamation of President Johnson.
Where any person is- in doqbt, as to
whether his taxable property amounts to
over twenty thousand dollars, it is safer to
make application for a pardon and state his
doubts. The valuation o? the property
must be at the date of President Johnson's
Proclamation. All property must be included
which is liable to be taxed, lands,
money at interest, Bank stocks, &c.
It is not necessary for Post Masters, who
were not appointed by the President and
approved by the Senate of the so-oalled
Confederate Government, to apply for pardon.
They were not so appointed nnlesB
their perquisites amounted to 31000. It is
understood tho Attorney General has decided
as above stated.
As to what participation.in the rebellion
renders an application necessary, it may be
answered, any, "directly or indirectly."
The Petition should be written on foolscap
paper, and folded twice, with the writing,
and not across it.
The name of the applicant and nothing
more, should be endorsed on the Petition
after being folded.
All applications made to the Provisional
Governor will be forwarded by him to the
President, unless otherwise directed.
Preventives Against Cholera.?
The visit of the cholera to this oountry, in
1849, was le83 fatal in Cincinnati than elsewhere.
The Gazette ascribes it to the faot
that the streets and alleys were thorooghly
cleansed beforehand, the gutters plentifully
sprinkled with lime, and other preventives
resorted to as antidotes. Addresses
were issued by the most eminent physicians,
in whioh people were urged to the necessity
of a thorough vigilance as to their habits
and their homes. They gave the following
special advice:
Avoid laying aside prematurely flannel
or other warm clothing.
On no occasion remaio long in damp
places.
Never sit in a strong curreht of air at
night.
Avoid loading the Btomach with food at
nlfeht.
Eat meals at regular hoars.
A plain nourishing diet by far the best.
Salted meats far better than fresh. Mealy
potatoes, boiled rice and hominy, recomended,
but hot bread to be ignored*..
As to drinks all exoess was to be avoided,
but those aoocustomed to its use were not
advised to lay it aside. t)f Bait liquors,
M -' "

freshly brewed, strong drink was recommended.
The National Debt.?Estimating the
national debt at twenty-fire hundred millions
of dollars, and apportioning it aooordiogto
the number of white mail adults
over twenty years of ag6 in the different
sections of the' country, it has been foand
that the proportion of the New England
States is 9808,089,352 ; of the Middle
States $740,195,342 ; of the Western
I States $893,288,781; of the. Southern
States $461,929,846; and of the Paoifio
: States $95,896,677. This calculation.makes
the South responsible for over four hundred
and sixty millions of debt ''
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
. JOHN S. MOSEBY.
John S. MdSeby, the famous guerrilla
ohief, was risible on the streets of Richmond
recently. Somebody has described
Mosqby as a handsome man in personal appearance,
but he is nothing of the rort.?
Of ordinary height, his build is goodenough,
bat his faoe is very common-place,
and his light brown hair, worn unkempt,
adds nothing to its attractiveness. Moseby'3
features and expression would impress
you as those of a man resolute and ounning,
not captiously honest nor rieionsly
cruel, and I suspect that in tile stories of
his ornelty he has been somewhat belied.
His business in Riottmond is to regain
possession of some tobacoo be olaitna, and I
was sony to hear him remark that it is all
he has in the world, for I know be will not
get it ; and be owes the Inquirer for a bone ,
and divers other articles, taken from me by
his band last summer, and I imagine onr
chance for restitution to be small. In another
sense it was pleasant to hear him admit
his poverty, for if he told the troth, it.
shows that he was greivously swindled at
the. final division of the spoils on the breaking
up of his command,, and further, it
controverts the uncomfortable axiom concerning
honor among thieves.
When the life of John Singleton Moseby
comes to be written, it will show a succession
of startling personal adventures nn- ,
surpassed by those of any partizan ohief on (
record. That Moseby was always hanging
on the outskirts of our armies, cutting off ,
our trains, capturing our stragglers, and
harassing us iu every possible way, the peo_

that he went in and oat of oar camps at
his own pleasure and never was once detected.
It is said ("and undoubtedly truly) that
while Burnside lay opposite Fredericksburg,
in the winter of 1862, Moseby
dined with him in the oharaoter of a Union
fanner from aoross the river, and gathered,
with his shrewd cunning, from the general table-talk^
much valuable information, with
whioh he regained the rebel lines without
molestation.
One of the best things told of him ocourred
that same winter, and in the same1
neighborhood. Bnrnside, that winter, was
literally" badgered by Moseby. He seemed
nbiqnitons, and at last it became dangerous
to go from camp at all, as the least ramble
was sore to result in the capture by Moseby.
At last Burnside became wearied oat,
and determined to capture the partisan, and

sooar the country thoroughly and bring him
in dead or alive. One day, one of these (
detachments led by a lieutenant colonel,
was going up the Dumfries road, when, I
from a house' in sight of the Federal lines,
a man emerged,* dressed in the uniform of
a Federal capt|[n, and attended by one ]
orderly, dressed in oavalry bine. At the |
gate were two horeeis,'marked U. S., and
furnished with our regulation saddle and (
bridle, and mounting, the oaptain rode up ^
and'aocosted the colonel,' who wa?* still (
marching up the road. The colonel inform- ,
ed his new oompanion that he was in searoh |
of this Moseby, and asked if he had
heard anything of him. The captain had
heard and knew to a certainty that an hour ]
before Moseby had been at Jones', four
miles up the road. Visions of promotion 1
and newsnaDer naraeraiths dancinz before '
him, the colonel ordered "trot, march,"
while the captain with bis orderly, dashed
across the field to a farm house, to get some
milk, he said, before returning to camp.?
Arrived at Jones', the colonel found that
Moscby had indeed been there, hut also
found that he had departed in the direotiou
of Burnside's camps. Back the colonel
beat in haste, making inquiries everywhere,
but finding no trace. Arrived again at the
house from whioh the oommunioative captain
bad appeared, the woman, accosted
him, and this colloquy ensued :
Womaq?Kurnej, who was that ere Yank
oapting met ye here as ye was gwine tother
way?
Colonel?I don't know his name, but he
belonged to a Massachusetts regiment.
Woman?Yew; welljcneow aint you
sold ? That air was John Moseby.
Colonel?H?!
And he rode back to camp and said nothing
whatever about his morning's .work, except
to report that he had not captured him.
Some of his men did, however, and that
story floated afloat tae army daring toe rest
of the war.
Many saoh things as this are told of
Moseby, and his power of mischief was so
sensibly felt in the Valley, last snmmer and
autumn, that Phil. Sheridan used to swoar
at him in his most hearty style. Moseby
now is a citizen of the United States, no
better and no worse than the thousands of
other Viiginians who have laid down their
arms.

Married men generally hare. So have I.

employed'like a besieged garrison

pa paying oat currency, under strong conviction
that there is nothing like "leather"
?to wear out
I tried copper-toed boots on my heir.?
The'copper wore well, and I have an idea
that oopper boots would be a good idea, bqt
I couldn't find a metallic shoemaker to carry
it out.
Mrs. O'L. also became attached to oopper,
and thought it would be an improvement
nncT save sowing if boys' pantaloons
were, like ships and tea-kettles, copper-bottomed
The suggestion was A No. 1, but
we haven't tried it yet.
Copper so ran in my head at the time
that O'Fake eilled me a copperhead.
This was the origin of the term.
Mrs. Q'L. is a managing woman. She
makes trousers for our son, Alexander The*
mistocles, out of mine, when I've done
with them. He can get through three pair
to my one, ordinarily, and I am obliged to
wear out my olothes faster than I used to,
to keep him supplied.
I onoe suggested that it might be within
the resources of art end industry to make
him a pair out of new material.
Mrs. O'L. said positively that it eouldn't
be done. It would ruin us. She concluded
that it was cheaper to cut up a pair I
had. paid twelve dollars for.

I ventured to tell Mrs..O'L. expecting s

She gave me a look of scorn, as she
wanted to inow if I had asked the price of
"trimmings."
Trimmings were too much for. me.
1 have been afraid of trimmings ever
linee.
In addition to clothes, the soion of our
house runs up other expenses.
But what is the expense compared with
the joy that a father ffeels, when after a

* SENSIBLE TALE.
The New York Times speaking of North*
srn sentiment and expectations abont the
South says :
"We (the northern people and authorities)
are too exacting also in regard to the
politioal action of the Southern people?
We expeotthem, now that the war is over
ind they are beaten, to become at onoe,
Dot only loyal oitizens, obeying all the laws;
ind sustaining fully the national authority,
bat thorough-going abolitionists, and advocates
of negro suffrage. Anything short
)f this we ooDsider half-way loyalty and
think they have not been whipped quite
enough yet. We denounoe them as still
Secessionists at heart, and oatl for their
exclusion from the rights of citizenship.
This is unreasonable and nnwise. We
have really nothing to do with their hearts.
We have no right to exact the complete
change of sentiment and feeling whioh we
iemand. We have a right to insist that
they shall obey the law, that they shall acknowledge
and respect the national authority,
and oondoot themselves as peaoeful
law-abiding citizens. If they do this, we
can demand nothing more. They may believe
in their hearts what they please; they
may feel as they like about the war and the
government; they may be at heart rebellions
still; bat that is really none of oar
business. We cannot control the?r opinions
or their sentiments; we can and frost
sontrol their oonduct, but that is ali. Nor
is it reasonable to expect that the mass of
the Southern people can or will beoome
suddenly devotees of dootrines and sentiments
whioh they have hitherto abhorred,
tnd against whioh they have staked their
fortunes and their lives. Men do not thus
instantly change their whole natures on compulsion.
And any ostentatious pretensions
of such a change wonld be hypocritical.?
The great body of the Southern people
were unquestionably honest and sinoere in
the opinions, the prejudices and the resentments
whioh led them to rebel against the
(Government; and it wonld be folly to suppose
that those festing? would all be at
once eradicated by the simple feot that they
have been beaten in the field. A radical
ohange in the sentiments of the Southern
people, concerning slavery aud the purpose
and temper of the national authority, can
only be wrought by time, by wise laws
wisely administered, and by their experiance
of the new condition upon vbich they
have entered. "
Nor should we desire to break the spirit,
or crush the self-respect of the people of
the Southern States. Their courage, their
resolute and determined spirit, is now among
the priceless possessions of the irhole
oonntry. It ha* been our enemy, but
hereafter it is to be our friend. JTt has
been toned against oa,' end ben vainly
sought oar destruction; henceforth ifrfights
only on oar side, end swells the power end
the courage with which we may confront * ;
world is arms. It would be suicidal in us
to crash or destroy it?we should be destroying*
part of that winch is to give nil
the proudest place ever held by any nation
on the face of the earth. They confess -i
and feel themselves overcome?subdued,
subjugated. From no quarter do we "hear
the faintest hint of any wish even to renew
the contest. It is not for ns to poison the
woond we have inflieted on their pride, nor
to stab, with instil ting blows, the dead body
of their ambUfen." .
An Adventurous Female?She
Wins He& Wager.?An evening or two
since, a well known gentleman and lady,
in tfiSa ftitv. hntH mnflft m. vimi of
9100 for the performance of * specified set,
by the lady, to which the gent staked hie.
two fifties that die would not We the
oonmge to fulfil her promise. The wsger
was as follow*:
?That on Friday morning, August 4, between
the hoots of 10 and 12, the lady
would go up to a strfinge gentleman, on
Fourth, between Main and Ladlaw' streets,
and kiss him, the said gentleman kissed to 4
he A .person who never chewed tobacco?'
The bet was a onrioos one, but onr heroine
determined to make the effort to win, and
being nearly related to an ex-congressman,
she felt that her adventurous conduct would
not, if discovered and made pnblio, be regarded
as impertinent or indecent.
On Friday morning she dressed- herself
in her prettiest, and leaving the fine atone
residence of her parents she sauntered to
the Fourth-street race coarse, where ?100
Was to be lost or won, and a conquest for
boldness and female ohivalry verified. The
honr of ten arrived, and as the blushing
maiden gazed wistfully on the lips of every
male passer-by to detect the tobaoco juice
or its inevitable result on the teeth, she
discovered that'her friends, knowing the
secret, were in advantageous positions, anxiously
awaiting the sequel of her cool and
iotrepich'&otion. Time flew by, and. the
indications were' apparent that, the young
lady must lose. Still, nothing daunted,
she continued her keen, searching pursuit.
At a few minutes past eleven o'clock, a
gray headed veteran, an old and highly respectable
oitizqn, ^walking westwardly, on
Fourth between Broadway and Ludlow,
was suddenly brought up standing kj the
lady, who, throwing her arms around his
neck, kissed him fairly in the mouth.
The old gentleman Was completely nonplussed,
and while standing all amazed and
nervbnsly excited at the public ordeal he
had just passed through, the friends came
op and asked, "Do. you chew tobaoeo,
Mr. r "No* gentlemen; I never
used tobacco of any kind ia.alhmy life."?
The gentlemen then explained the whys
and wherefores of this episode, or street
reoontre, and apologized to the aged citizen
for the assault and battery which he readily
aoeepted, with an intimation that the as
Molt might be repeated with no serious objections.
The two fifties were then, paid
over, and the happy party returned to their
homes, highly delighted with their morning's
amusement. We may add that the
lady very gracefully tendered the old gentleman
one of the fifty dollar bills, which
he modestly declined, and added, "I should '

Negro Suffrage in Ohio.?Governor
Todd, in a recent speech in Ohio, said:
"Now, to to this amendment to our State
Constitution whereby the negro Bhall be
permitted tovote in Qihiq, I *ould pay that
my only objection to it is that I don't think
it is to interest of the blaek man to settle
in Ohio.-> Slavery being abolished in the
Southern States now, I think- the olimate,
soil and productions of the South are much
better fitted for him, and he. for them, than
at the North. I should be sorry to mislead
the netrro from his true interests; hence I
o - - ?
think it would be nowise to invite him to '
oome here, aq wo wonld by giving bim the '
right of suffrage here. The true friend to
the black man will discharge his duty to 1
him better by advjsing him to seek a cii- 1
mate where slavery does not exist?a oli- 1
mate and a country more oongenial to his
taste and more profitable to hie labor than 1
these Northern States and this Northern j
olimate can be." j
Woman's Temper.?No trait of ohar- 1
acter is more valuable in a female than the
possession of a" good Temper. Some can
never be happy without it. It is like the.
flowers that spring up in our pathway, re- <
vivlng and cheering us. Let a man go '
aw flAAlktnn ie m WA*i1 rliA. 1

by a.good disposition ! It issunshiBe 1
fallicg upon his heart. He is happy, and <
the'oared of life are forgotten. A sweet <
temper has a soothing influence over the <
minds of a whole family. Where it is |
found in the wife and mother, you observe <
kindness and love predomiimting over the '
natural feelings of the heart. Smilee^kind 1
words and looks characterize the ohUdren, 1
and peace and love have their dwellings 1
there. ' Study, then, to acquire and retain ]
a sweet temper. It is more valuable than i
gold; it captivates more than beauty, and J
to the close of life it retains its freshness 1
and power.
ISP The New York Times says there t
has not been a time in this generation when t
the language of the North and South to- t
ward each other has been so respectful and j
considerate as since the war. The Times j
says that the Northern idea that the South 1
had degenerated into a race of effeminate
braggarts, and the Southern idea that the
North had lost every -element of manhood <
in the' passion for gain, and would submit 1
to anything rather than fight, - have both ^
been entirely annihilated. The tug for i
four years has shown the stuff of the men ?
on both sides^of Mason's and Dixon's line. <

THE IMPORTANCE OFRABOBT*
Many of ouryoungujefo tod young women
seem loth to go to work. Too many
young men are Iodking for clerkship*, or
fof aojnething to happen by which they
can life without manual labor. Young
men, yon are burning, wasting precious
daylight. You will have to work, and the
Booner yon begin the better. A population
will soon crowd in here, from, the North
and'from Europe) that will outstrip you, and
leave yon an drones in thft great lure*, unless
yon go to work note. By beginning
now yon can plaee yourselves in a situation
referred to; but if with your habits,
and your ideas of labor, yon wait until that
population poors in, and you then take only
an em start with it, yon will he left
hopelessly behind.
No .one should be ashamed of labor. It
heighthena the bloom of the young woman,
nd is a pledge that she will make a good
?i?e. The habit of labor thus formed, she
will impart to her children, tad they .will
be "jewels" indeed, if reared is the praetice
of industry, temperance, and the fear
of God. Diligence is business is a crown
of glory to the young mas. He may be
humble, is his circumstances and may feel
at times that no one thinkr of Or regards
him; but let him toil on, conquering by labor,
and maintaining a good obaraoter for
integrity and morality, and applying himself,
whenever ho can, to biB books, and a
measure of success will at length be his, for
which he had not even hoped in the onset.
Poor ybung men, struggling to bettey their
condition, often think that they are not
notioed or appreciated by the leading, substantial
men of the community. In this
they are mistaken. In almost every in
stance they ire known, and talked of, and
the time at last comes when they ate taken
by the hand and led op higher in the
sphere of life, and in the road to success.
Labor is inducible. It conquers everything.
The power of application, physical
and mental, made Benjamin Franklin
Roger Sherman, Htfnry Clay, Thomas Effing,
Nathaniel P Banks, Horace Greely,
Francis P. Blew, Abraham Lincoln, and
Andrew Johnson men 'of great usefulness
and great renown. Whenever we hear that
young men are complaining of hard labor,
and that-they are deposed to regard it as
dishonorable, we feel liftwayfeg to them,
"Look at Abraham Lineohi, the rail-splitter,
and Andrew Johnson, the tailor, and
at Governor Holdeo, the printer; and go
thou and do likewise-"
Slavery has been abolished, and our
young men and young women can no longer
depend on slave labor. If they will realize
at once their situation, in this and other
respects, and will go to work, and cultivate
habits of industry and self reliance, it
will tarn out, in the end, that the abolition
of stateiy has bee*a blessing rather than an
injury to them. Bnt work, they moat, or
they will become the inferiors of the thrifty
and energetic populations that will soon
poor in; and instead of oontroliog society
and the affairs of the land of their birth,
they will find themselves poor and without
influence. This is the troth. We feel that
it is good advice, and* we trust it will be
taken and acted on.?Raleigh Standard,I.

Confiscation in Louisiana.?There
has been a good deal of movement in real
estato this week, including several large
8eoeasion and confiscation sales. Very
good prioes have been realized, except in
confiscated property. Many fearsare entertained
in regard to tides, which may be
materially affected by the march of events
and the decision? of the Supreme Court.?
The property of John Slidell, comprising
842 lots and squares of ground, with stores,
dwelling houses and a banking house, were
sold for $100,410. Before the war, it was
estimated at $800,000. Had the war not
taken place, it is estimated that Mr. Slidell
would have been worth $2,000,000. As it
was, when the war broke oat, he sold his
Northern property pretty weli*to Mr. Bel*
moot for Louisiana bonds, wbioh after
wards largely advanced, and considerable
of Southern property was also well disposed
of. In the ease of the recent sales theft
were powerful intervenors, who olaim under
mortgages the full value of the property,
and will doubtless carry their claims
ap to the Supreme Court Very little, in
faot, will be realized to the Government of
these confiscation sales. They are most of
them encumbered by just olaiaia which will
be doubtlessly allowed. Id the oaae of Mr.
SlidelTs intervenors, fraud 4s charged, and
the review will depend upon the facts.
New Orleans Letter.
The Beginning or the End.?We understand,
says the New Orleans Picayune,
that, on aeoount of the demoralization of
aegro labor in many parts of the 8tate, theshite
population have vigorously and in
iustriously taken hold of the work themwives,
and are producing -some of tire best
trope now 'growing. The people are beginning
to see that under the new system
)f African labor, or went of system rather,
10 farther dependence Is to be put in that
sace, and they have resolved to do their
irork themselves. Industry was always
honored in Louisiana, and unless African.
abor is better directed, we expect to see
t disregarded altogether, and our fertile
ands cultivated by the more vigorous ancf
ntelligent labor of the white man.
