The following wc take from the New Orleans Times. ?t is a piece ol very vigorous writing, as well as n very sensible article : We are all poor, erring, warring creatures, led astray by passion and prejudice, and seldom certain as tc our promises or our conclusions. Some of us preach what we do not practice, and others, knowing th? right, persistently pursue the wrong. Interest warps and tramples principle into its own likeness, aud prejudice, with distorted vision, converts light into darkness, and adds features o: monstrosity to the fairest forms Even the best of us have our failings our prejudicesv and our errors o judgment; we see as through a glas.' darkly, and mistake our own blinc passions for inspiration. If in hones self-communing^ we look into ou: own hearts, we fiud enough to cen sure and condemn. All around u are the evidences of our failiugs thick as leaves in Vallambrosa. Extending our view from indivi dualsto communities, we find that tin general partakes of the qualities o the particular, and that neither Soutl nor North, East nor West, can clain immunity from the failings corumoi to our nature. We of tho Soutl have had our wild Hotspur extremists who, giving the reins of judgment t their passions?/ found "an excellen plot" in secession, and if any on hinted of doubt or danger in tile prc mises, he was called "a shallow, cow ardly hind," and a "lack-brain." Th peculiar institution was declared i danger, and a revolution was nece? aary to save it. And so the revolt tion was precipitated, and the inst tution was saved with a vengeance Had the battle been fought in Coi gross, where a Democratic majorit was fully organized in opposition t the policy and platform of the Abol tion party, slavery, either for good < ill, would still have been in existeu< throughout the South, and it woul have been impossible to effect its r moval without the cousent of tl Southern States themselves. Bi constitutional guarantees wero ui wisely exchanged for those of tl sword and bayonet, and they, in tl day of trial, proved to be but a brokt reed. Not only was slavery swept away ; an unnecessary and unwise attemj to preserve it, but the savings more than half a century of prosp rity were also at the samo time d stroyed. Civil war among a peop such as ours is no child's play. Cou: up, if you can, the immenso arnon of property given to the flames ai floods during our lustrum of cii strife, and ask what we have securt by way of offset. Destruction easy, compared with tho cost ai trouble of building up, and win once it becomes privileged-win vengeance seizes the incendia torch-no bouuds can be set to i ravages, no compassion can be e pected of its agents. Even now, though tho sad cons quencos of our struggle are plain apparent, wo have still our tribe sectional extremists, who learn n thing and forget nothing, and exhi! their waspish bitterness, as if it wc an act of high patriotism to ma fools of themselves, and prejndi the interests of their friends and re tives. We have among us, indee types of botli the Northern a Southern extremists-men of asinij idea, who get astride of a hobby a ride it as witches do a broom-stic or maniacs a phantom. When a ni ties himself down to extreme o nions, it is safe to conclude that hf either an honest monomauiac or a pretentious hypocrite; as to i effect of his conduct on society, matters very little which. In the North, some of the i tremest of extreme men are to found in Congress. Let us take example the scholarly Sn muer n Boanerges Stevens. The keen blade of tho first, liko tho lance of the savage, is always pointed and always poisoned. His head is turned by the memory of a wrong, and no coal, ''hissing hot from hell," ever burned with a more deadly gleam or intense vitality than does his classic ire. Pre? tending to Christianity, he finds a "higher law" than that of the Meek and Lowly One, who, when he was reviled, reviled not again, and who said to hrs followers "Love your enemies!" There is a wicked, venge? ful "method in his madness," which shows itself like a skeleton frame be? neath the thin cloak of Pharisaical religion and philanthropy which he wears for show. He would become all things unto all men, that he might humiliate the South. His compeer and kindred spirit, the Boanerges aforesaid, ia a rougher, sterner spirit, who mocks at his own grey hairs, and forgets the humilia? tion and charity which they should suggest. He is a forger of thunder? bolts, and if money could be made by the operation, he would take a con? tract to furnish the infernal realms i with fuel. Shylock never mourned his lost ducats and jewels as he ' j mourne?! bis losses by a Confederate raid, and never craved the forfeit ; pound ?f flesh as he craves the con i ! flscation of Southern property and > the wholesale hangiug of Southert citizens. Such men an: morally ant : politically math Insane asylum: ? should receive them. All this bitterness of spirit is ntik< j wicked and impolitic. In one sw , tion it "wrings into the raw" and ii t another acts as au annoying irritan f to the body politic. If the wholi country is to remain one and indi , visible, wc might ns well settle cur [ selves down at once into harmon; i and good fellowship, and endeavor ti I bring about "a more perfect Union, t A house divided against itself cannu i- stand. The House of the America - Union is too sacred to be imperillei s by extremists, no matter in whu , guise fliey may present themselves That it "shall be preserved," gleam - out in characters of living light ove i? the whole face of the sky. "Th f stirs have said it," and the oracuhi i and prophetic spirits of the fathers < ?i *he republic confirm the shinin a sibyls. li In this connection, we may stat i, that the eleluge of extreme commun o cations which are forced on our attei t tion has become exeee-elingly anno; e ing. The Times is independent, bi >. it is consistent in its independenci r. and conservative in its tendency e While striving to do all that it c*i n towards the restoration of harmon ?- and good fellowship, it cannot coi i- sent to be made the mouth-piece < i- extremists who are anxious rather t ! sow the seeds of bitterness than I i- bring alunit au era of peace and unio; ^> Tho New Orleans Times says: i- has been suggested by a correspon ir ent that the reason turkeys and otb .e poultry are so high at present, is b ld cause the General Conference is Q. session here, anet likely to be for s ie veral weeks yet. Town Talk dot it believe a word of it. He has knov a. poultry equally high when there w xe hot a conference within a hundn ie miles of the market." -11 Tho Mobile papers" report the ii , j rival of a great curiosity at that cit 1U i a vessel made entirely of cork, whit 9* j is lying at one of the wharves.
