TnE NEWSPAPER APPRECIATED.- ?
Without my newspaper, life would j
narrow itself to the small limits of
my personal experience, and human?
ity be compressed into the ten or
fifteen people I mix with. Now I
refuse to accept this. I have not a
sixpence in consols but I want to
know how they stand. I was never
-I never in all likelihood shall be
in Japan ; but I have an intense
curiosity to know what our troops
did at Yokohama. I deplore the
people who suffered by that railroad
smash ; and I sympathize with the ;
newly-married couple so beautifully
depicted in the "Illustrated," as they
drove off in a chaise, and our old gent i
at the hall door waving them a last
adieu. I like the letters of corres
pondents, with their little grievances
about their unpunctual trains, or
some unwarrantable omissions in tho 1
Liturgy. I even like the people who
chronicle the rainfall, and record lit?
tle facts about the mildness of the
season. As for the advertisement . T '
regard them as tho glass and mirror ;
of the age. Show me but one page
of the "Wants" of any country, and
I engage to give a sketch of the cur?
rent civilization of the period. What !
glimpses of rare interiors do we gain
by these brief (paragraphs ! How full
of suggestiveness and of story are
they !-Blackwood?8 Magazine.
A Great many journals in the
North, just now, are endeavoring to I
enlighten the world as to "what tue

need, and wo don't charge anything
ior the information, is to be let alone. '

Tli* Confederate Ot ail,
The following suggestions from tho
Nashville Union and American, one
of the ablest and best of our ex?
changes, will commend themselves to
every humane and benevolent heart:
We frequently meet with poems
and other tributes to tho "Confed?
erate >nd." Whilst the dead who
sacrificed their lives for the principles
which were presented to them iii the j
late war are entitled to our admira?
tion and gratitude, and to a perpetual
place in the memory of thc ?Southern
people, there is yet a living duty
resting upon us. Thc widows and I
orphans, now suffering for the neces- |
saries of life, and thousands of maimed j
survivors, call for our respect and
sympathies. In all of the Legisla?
tures of the Southern States we have
witnessed with gratification move?
ments looking to the amelioration of
these classes. Our failure places our
cripples beyond the pale of assistance
by the Federal Government. No
pensions, no bounties, no land grants
enure to them. The decrepid Con?
federate soldier must rely upon the |
kindness of friends. The empty 1
sleeve and the absent leg must be
supplied by the kindly oflices of the
more fortunate. Happily, in this
work of charity, there need enter no
political question.
The war in over, and whilst the
government can take care of the un?
fortunates who were maimed in its
defence, those of the other side fall
upon the list which addresses itself to
feelings of abstract humanity and i
private charity. There are cases in
which tho bfcuevoh nt feelings of
human nature are enlisted, without
regard to the causes ol' misfortune.
There is scarcely a city, town, village
or hamlet in the South in which there
aro not representatives of the miseries
and misfortunes of war. It is due to
the better impulses of human nature
that those sufferers be relieved. Let
us not forget these duties and obliga?
tions, 'these cold and cheerless
winds of December remind us forci?
bly of these claims and enforce them ;
upon our consid?r?t i un and attention.
Let not the higher and kindlier quali?
ties of our nature fail to assert them?
selves, while there are so many ob- ;
jects of our tender regard.
How ONE PLANIER FILLS ms PLAN?
TATION.-A Memphis paper has the
following :
One of our planting friends, who
was a very Luge slaveholder before
the war, "has developed to us a plan i
ul operations for the ensuing year, <
which seems a "step in the right j .
direction." lt is the plan which he I
has himself adopted, and he is san- .
?nine that it will work successfully i
und advantageously to both himself :
and his employers. His plan is to ?
contract witli any number ol bands, i
to the extent of the requirements ol :
his very large plantation, assigning to ?
each one the number ol' acres he may \ i
wish to cultivate-say fifteen, ten, or I i
ii less number of acres, to be laid oil I .
and designated. The employer furn- > i
?shes all the necessary animals and ? !
implements at a fixed valuation, and '
supplies all necessary clothing and <
provisions at the cost price-a fair
account being kept of such of either 1
as may be drawn during the year. i
Ht; stipulates, further, that if any [ 1
laborer should neglect his crop, so as ? I
to endanger it, he retains the right to i ;
summon it. jury of view, selected from ; 1
his feUow-hiborers, who may, if they ;
find his ero;* going to waste from
slothfulness, declare his claim to it
forfeited, and the employer may then \ i
re-assign the plat of ground, with its 1
growing crop, to any industrious la
borer who will cultivate it and save it. 1 ,
At the end of the year the crop pro- ; .
duced is divided equally between the i .
employer and the employee -the lat- 11
ter paying out of the proceeds of his ; ?
share the account which he may have ?
created for his food and clothing. ,
He may, also, if he wishes, take to ; ,
his own account the mule, plow, and : :
other implements with which he
worked during the year, at the val?a- ;
tion price agreed upon, to be deducted
from his share of the crop, or return
them to the proprietor. The em- j
ployer takes upon himself the selling
and realizing the value of the crop, j
and a division of the proceeds,,with
out other charge to the laborers than
their proportionate-charge of the costs
of shipments and the usual charge.

J*ws.-From a long and sugges?
tive article in the Chicago Republican,
concerning the Jews, we extract the
following:
"The Jews rise gradually above tho
average of mankind whenever their
immense mental resources and their
formidable intensity of purpose are '
?onsecrated to religion, to humanity, ;
to liberty, to letters, or to art. Then
they become prophets, reformers,
ami composers, and the moral and
intellectual and artistic teachers of
the world, producing Mendelshons,
Spinozas, Neanders, Hernes, Heines,
Kochels and Meyerbeers. Among
tho German political reforiners of the
present day, there are a great number
of young men of Jev.isn parentage,
particularly in Berlin and Vienna,
who are the most ardent champions
cf liberty. France possesses the
Cremieu-;, the Jew, one of her ablest
lawyers, ant1 at the same time one of
her ni<x,L unflinching Republicans.
And so there are in every country
Jews who show that as soim as they
devote their great powers to some
ennobling purpose they exeelas much
in the higher walks of thought and
life as tho bulk of their follow-reli
gionaries in the lower."

LACK OF THKLET.-At the-close of
the war, a wealthy citizen of Amherst,
accepting tho results, of our defeat in
good faith, entered into an engage?
ment with the negroes on his planta?
tion, by which he hoped to retain
them in his employ and raise a crop.
They were to work the farm on the
shares, the proprietor furnishing
money for all necessary expenses till
the crops were gathered, when it was
to be refunded from tho common
stock. Notwithstanding .this favor
able arrangement, the frequent warn?
ings and urgings of the farmer, the
efforts^! the soldiers sent to see that
they did their duty, and everything
else that could be brought to bear
upon them, when the products of the
farm were valued, it was found thnt
there was not enough to pay the ex?
penses incurred in their yiroduction !
Astonished that indolence had not
brought forth from the earth as great
a yield as industry had previously
drawn from her fertile bosom, they
came over in a budy, and laid their
complaint before the agent of the
Freedmen's Bureau. Captain Lacy,
after investigating the case, dismissed
them with the infurination that they
hud foolishly wasted their opportunity
to turn their labor to good account,
and had eaten up, in idleness, more
than tliey had made in the few hours
work which they could be induced to
perform. The decision was necessary
and just, because it was brue ; but the
facts of the ease are significant of the
ilifficulties in the way of re-establish?
ing the labor of this country.

THE OLDEST REPUBLIC ON EAJITH.
Hie American Quarterly Review con?
tains a letter from G. W. Irving, Esq.,
riving a sketch of his visit to San
Marine, a small republic in Italy, be?
tween the Appenines, the Po and the
Adriatic. The territory of this State
is only forty miles in circumference,
md its population about seven thou?
sand. The Republic was founded
moro thau fourteen centuries ago, on
moral principles, industry and equity,
ind has preserved its liberty und in?
dependence amid all the wars and
Hacuxds ? Lieh lime ?iigtil ui'oun.l it.
Bonaparte respected it and sent an
embassy to express his sentiments of
friendship and fraternity. It is go?
verned by a captain-regent, chosen
3very six months, by the representa?
tives of the people, (sixty-six in num
ber,) who are also chosen every six
months by the people. The taxes are
light ; the farm-houses are neat ; the
fields well cultivated, andon all sides
ire seen comfort and plenty, the
happy effect of morality and fru

"WHISKEY SMUGGLING OVER THE
CANADIAN BOEDER-CAPACIOUS BA
it?ES. -The Commissioner of C ust oms,
who has recently been making every
effort to suppress the extensive smug?
gling operations which for a long
time have been going on along the
Canada frontier, has received intelli?
gence from the revenue detectives
stationed there that they have just
detected an ingenious scheme for
conveying whiskey from Canada to
the United States:
The attention of the officers was
first attracted by the extraordinary I
[lumber of women and babies on a j
railroad train bound to the United
States, and their suspicions were !
aroused from the fact that out of j
thirty-two "blessed babies" but two
gave evidence of the irrepressible ani
tnation peculiar to juveniles. The
'.mothers," likewise, seemed especial- .
ky anxious to screen their little inno- '
cents' heads from prying curiosity,
folding them closely to their breasts, |
aud permitting only the neat little
feet and legs, encased in tiny shoes
and stockings, to be exposed to the
gaze of the passengers. The detec- '?
tn i s were on thc alert, and at the
first station this side of tho river, j
where several of the possessors of the j
passive juveniles left the train, one of
the officers politelyrequested permis-1
sion of a lady to hold her "baby"
while she alighted. Struck with the
unusual weight of thc infant, and the
excessive solicitude of the mother,
the officer commenced an investiga?
tion, abd on removing the wrappings
discovered that the interior was a tin
case, fashioned'after the similitude
of a veritable baby, filled with from
three to five gallons of whiskey. A
general descoui was at once made on
the bogus mammas, resulting in the
arrest of about thirty and tho securing
of over ono hundred gallons of old
rye.
