His description of the kr .o gathering of the Heads of the Church on that occasion was eloquent as well as highly interesting." -The Bri ish Parhamcnt is turning its atten? tion to the education of tho w irking classes. Earl Bussell, iu the House of Lords, announced that, on December 2d, he would movo a series of resolu? tions, declaring, first, that the education of tho working cJastes in England and Wales ought to be extended and improved; that every child has a right to tho blessings of education^ and it is tho duty of tho Mate to guard and maintain that right. That tho diffusion of knowledgo ought not to bo hindered by religious differences; nor should the early employment of the young in labor be allow ed to deprive them of education. Second, that Parliament and Government should aid in the education of the m.ddto classes by providing for the better administration of charitable endo.v ments. That tho Universities of Oxford and Cam? bridge may l>e made moro useful to the nation by the rem J val of restrictions, and by the appoint? ment of a commission to consider of tho better distribution of thoir large revenues for tho pur? poses of instruction, in connection with tho said universities, t nd that an appointment of a minis? ter ol education by t ae Crown, with a seat in the Cab-net, would be cenducive to tho public benefit. -The Lynchburg virginian chronicles the death pf James Ropor, the largest landholder and the wealthiest mau in Jefferson county, Virginia. Roper was a mulatto, tho natural son of an eccen? tric Englishman, who bcviueatho.1 tho most of hts pro-crtv to toa recently dccoascJ. who added greatly to tis patrimonial estate. Roper had a great faculty for acquiring property, and a mania fjraddanr to his lait'O landed estate. Every jeir or two he would purchase a farm, for which we havo known him to pay as much as Sill per acre, whon dollars wore dollars. Roper was an intem? perate man, rarely ever leaving town in a state ol sobriety; yet, such was hi3 natural slrewdness that nobody could tako advantage of him in a trade, cveu when ho was drunk. Ho navel voled, served on ju.ios. or attomp cd to exercise ri hts, denied by the laws, to men of bis race, yet he was as fully protected in his right of person and pro? perty as a ;y man in Virginia, aud has, doubtless, left a largor and more v -hubie landed estate than any mau now living in that State eau boast. CHARLESTON. WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 25, 1SC7. ?kA Merry Christina* and Happy Xcw lear." The old, old greeting, is thc truest ?ind the best; and on this the Christmas morn, the day of peace aud good will, do we extend it in all its fulness to each and every friend. Since Christmas day one year ago there has been many a ruinous change. Fortunes have flown away, some of the most venerated and loved of our countrymen have passed to the better world, in our civil and personal condi? tion there is but little evidence of better and safer times. But one and the same Eternal Providence watches over this people. Ho will, in His own good time, bring us forth from the fires of affliction; and it is permitted us to hope and believe that this day, which brought Peaco to the Universe, may be for us the harbinger of a long era of wollare and gor J-fortune. For this day at least care and trouble may be set at naught; for this day happiness and mirth may bear an undivided sway. These few hours may be taken from thc present and made a promise for the future; during these fow hours mirth, recreation, and sober happi? ness may surely seek to reign. All that we have to give upon this the Christ? mas morn is our warm and earnest greeting. Our wish and our work is for this State and the South,-for their security and comfort, their peace and plenty, their budding hopes and their untarnished honor. To the whole of our friends then throughout the South,-to every Carolinian,-tn every man who, once a stranger, is no longer a stranger when he lives in our midst and shares our changing for? tunes,-do we most heartily say: "God Bpeed you, one and all. A merry, merry Christina0 and a happy New Year !" Christmas, 1803. This day four years ago a brigade of Caro? lina troops lay in bivouac among the snow covered mountains of Eastern Tennessee. In their fervor, their courage, their enthusiasm, and their suffering, they were fit representa? tives of the armies of the South. Theso men had lain in the marshes of the Chickahominy, had seen the campaign around Richmond, had followed on the heels of P>,PE as he fled from thc field of Manussas,-had built their rude and cheerless huts on the hills ofFred ericksburg.-had marched along the fertile plains of Pennsylvania and Maryland,-had fought in the memorable "Peaoh Orchard," and borne the fire of hell that wus vomited by the hundred iron mouths that covered the heights of Gettysburg. They had faith and hope, though LJ:E had withdrawn within the Southern borders; they were trusty and strong, though JACKSCV hud fallen; they were confident and firm though, day by day, another form was missed fi om the ranks, and another name was j stricken by tho baud ol' nar lr. ru the Uiubtcr roll of time. Cheerily had they tramped to Chickamuuga, and resolutely had they borne the brunt of thc fight in the ^HThches at"Yjrr(rt tanonga. They hud cjiart?ed the rugged sides of "Look Out" fought hand to hand on rock iindha^h, in gully and ravine. In the smiling autumnal weather, they had passed jiiough the valley of tho Sweet-water, and heard the strains of martial music that were wafted from the forts of Knoxville. They hud marched once more towards Virginia, and, upon the Christmas day of 1863, they were striving against wintry blast and pinching hunger; they were feasting on thc memory of I what had gone -'fore, and were patient in their trust for the future. No matter to these Carolinians that their bruised and naked feet, cut by the sharp stones, had left bloody imprints upon the roads of icy Tennessee; no matter that neither over? coat nor muffler protected them from the bit? ter, searching cold. They remembered who they were and what they were; they thought of their own sunny homes in the distant South and of those who wept for them that day; they know that upon the manner in which they did heir whole devoir, depended tho honor and the fame of those who to them were dearer far than beauty and wealth and fortune. Suffering but patient,-sorrowing but confi? dent,-battered and worn but true and brave, the Carolina troops stood by their colors; and when the picture of homo, and mother, child, j or affianced wife was most vivid in their minds, J they most felt that there was no turning back in tho path that they were treading,-that for them there n.ust be, in all coming time, a grand historic name, or tho silent honor of the sol? dier's bloody grave. As these men felt-so felt the men and women of the South. There had been defeat and vic? tory, victory and defeat; leader after leader had waved his sword had died; colonel and captain, sergeant and private, had rested side by side in camp and breathed out their souls amid the crash of muskets and the thunderous roll of cannon. But there was still room for confidence and trust. The banner of the South I was tho cross; and by thc South the cross must bo born?:-the stars that spangled its field were the emblems of tho shining immortality that should ever attend thc valiant meu who bled and fell, under the folds of the Southern ' cross,-the starry banner of tho struggling and heroic South. Christmas, 1865. Two years ago the Southern people had fully awakened to the knowledge of their hope? less and desperate coudition. It wa9 true that the mass of defeated Southerners had not been imprisoned or exiled ; it was true that the truest and best had not been banned or pro? scribed; it was tue that hundreds cf planta? tions and thousands of fertile acres had not passed wholly into alien hands. But there j were acuter wrongs than these in the open sneer and taunting word, in the military guard and soldier magistrate, in the reproach that was sought to be attached to every man and every thing that had ever been connected with the fortuues of the sinking South. In the re? membrance of all that the South had loved and lost-loved so well and lost beyond recall, there were keener pangs than any that could arise from ruined fields or desolated homes. The long lines of Southern men who, from Richmond to Petersburg, from Virginia to Texas, had celebrated with lusty cheers tL i Christmas day of a year before, were gone, and gone forever. Many hid fallen in ?reuch or on parape-; some had mc' heir doom in the bloody days of Five Forks and Farniville; others, scattered from the Carolinas to the Gulf, were only known by their humble garb, their care? less mien, the hopelessness that lay in every furrow of their bronzed and open faces. Army after army had surrendered and bad been dispersed. The grand army of Northern Virginia had folded its tattered flags on tho plain3 of Appomattox. Confederate men and Confet-orato women had died in tho eyes of the world ; suffering men and eorrowing women lived and stood in their 6tead. There was no army of tho Confederate States, no general, no rank and file, no gleaming sabre and trusty rifle, no braying trumpet and roariug cannon ; there was only nn army of men who had fought like heroes and now endured like martyrs, only an army of women who had been purer and nobler and more generous than the women of song and story, and who now wept tears of blood for those whom war had wrapped in his gloomy mantle from mortui sight forever. While thc hurry and shock of battle continued -while the guus still rolled and thc ambulance clattered along the street-while thc confident hope remained that an early day would bring the assurance of lasting triumph, personal loss was rorgottcn mitist love of couutry-regret for the one was swallowed up in cager interest for tho sucocss and safety of thc many. Thc mother, anxiously waiting for victory to perch upou the banners under which her sons had fought, ceased to grieve for her first born, and rejoiced in glad tidings for her people. The father looked with pride upon the mound under the spreading chestnut, and found his solace in those few pointed words which, mouths before, had warned him of his loss aud told his country's gain. The maiden who had given up her betrothed, who had offered up her be? loved as a sacrifice in tho time of sorest need, wedded herself to the South, and devoted every day and every hour to assuaging the dolors of thc wounded Southern soldier. But by Christmas, 1865, all indeed wa9 changed. The cause was lost, as far as that cause can be lost which is founded upon prin? ciples that aro eternal. Struggle, sacrifice, self-denial, valor, had been insufficient to over? come the force of numbers ; the South, fallen from her high estate and pride of place, lay bound and helpless at the feet of the conqueror. Courage and endurance had not been in vain, for they were the outward evidences of the faith that filled men's souls: but the lives had been lost and thc cause had been lost, the heavens were darkened and the vials of wrath had been poured upon thc people-every wound in the broad bosom of the South was opened and bleeding afresh. In their first agony strong men prayed for the silent sleep of death, and chastened women bemoaned the fate that allowed them still to live. No man knew whither to turn for hope or comfort ; no woman knew how long there would bo safety from insult and from wrong. There was not a home that had not been dark? ened ; there was not a family tree that had not lost some young and sturdy branch. In the past there was a career of glory, the names of a myriad valiant men, the smoke of battle and the flash of musketry, the tramp of advancing hosts and the thunder of charging squadrons in the present, and thc future, there was, throughout the whole South, naught but the calmness of despair. Christmas, 1867. Two years of time, two years of winds and rains, two years of discontinued war have changed the whole face of the battle-fields of thc South. Where the armed men stood, the red bird and blue bird twitter and chirp; where the banners waved, now waves the runk luxu? riant grass; where shone the sword and bayo net, now glisten the spear of the broom-sedge and the rich dark leaves of the Southern ever? green; where frowned the muzzles of the iron guns, now creep the gaudy wild flower and the ruddy shrubs of winter; over the half-oblite? rated mounds there droops the Southern myr? tle; and around the weather-stained head? board has bloomed the sweet ''forget-me-not." Thu-edge of embrasure and parapet is blunted, and dull; and the agony of thcse who wear the widow s weeds or bear th*, sombre crape has been softened and still ". The course of time hw'worn away the sharp edge of the b>?ng tooth of pain, and now at 4%%^-isrsy'nfe and death bring forth a rich and precious fruit. In tho memory of those who havo fallen there lies an inspiration and a promise; in their career shall lie an encouragement and a hope. They watched and waited, they bled and died, they suffered and did not falter. They were not weary of living because fortune turned against them; they were not disheartened while there remained a single foe to mt et; they did not despair while the will was strong and firm, and the sinewy frame was whole. Hore then is the model and tho example for the people of the South. They have to beat the oppression of power and the down-treading of the fanatic;-but they must bear them with fortitude. They have to endure tho loss of right and caprice of wrong;-but they must endure with courage. They have to meet a thousand trials aud dangers;-but they must meet them with patience and with hope. Thc Southern soldier fought the battle of war; tho Southern ! cr ?ile now fight the battle of life. This is now a soldier people. Each Southeru man is fighting against a host of doubts and tempta? tions. In every form, and on every side, is the temptation to leave the ranks and desert those colors on which is inscribed,-Freedom-Jus? tice-Liberty. Can those be cowards, for whom the Southern soldier fell? Can these turn back, for whom the Southern soldier brave? ly faced the foe ? Can these be recreant to their trust, for whom the Southern soldier fough., and fought eo well ? Tho name of the fallen is our name; their memory is our memory; their sword still hangs upon tho wall; their rifle stands in the chimney corner; their picture is graven on our souls. Cheered by them, encouraged by them, in? spired by them,-we will fight down want and poverty, we will conquer hardship and trouble, we will wrest fortune, from the bosom of the future, wo will drag success out of the dark depths of uncertainty and doubt. This can bu done, and may be done. Let us but live as these men lived, and fortune, honest fortune, must and will bo ours; let us be brave as they were brave, and the army of the South,-the army now warring against these troublous times,-will be victorious in the combat, and make every Southern home ?milo with plenty and rejoice in the abundance of its wealth.
