Samuel Drotithitt, Greenville C. li. Wm. Moore, Abbeville C. H* Julius Poppe, Anderson C. II. Discourse on Loyalty. The following article cm the term "loyal" is from the pen of a Wash? ington correspondent of the Sk. Louis Republican. It is good : Until tho secession of the black dynasty in 1861, the nae of the word loyalty, as applicable to political re lations or duties in this country, W?NB j wholly unknown. We often read in ' the newspapers royal and imperial speeches and proclamations from foreign monarchs, to their loyal sub? jects; hut since tho day when George I 111 ceased to address to our ancestors i such paternal language, it had been expunged from our republican voca- j bulary, as wholly obsolete in its po? litical application. The dictionaries define its meaning to he "fidelity to j a prince or sovereign," and ns no such dignitary, since 1776, could claim our allegiance, there seemed to be no propriety iu adheri?g to this ] dead formality of royal grace ami power. We fondly supposed that under the new order of things es? tablished by our fathers, the people were sovereign, and that the Gov? ernment they instituted, aud the riders they elected, -were but the in? struments ant1 servants of the will not their musters. It seems, how? ever, in the advancing light of the new era which dawned on us five years ago, that we were mistaken; and that among the mauy invaluable reforms accomplished by the wise and exemplary patriots who have reigned daring the period, is the rc-inaugura tion of the idea so obstinately main? tained by King George and by royalty generally, that the ruler is tho sove? reign; and that the people who elect him are his subjects, and owe him fealty-must yield submissive aud requestioning obedience to his will. The revival of this ancient and kingly doctrine among us has very naturally caused a return to its ap? propriate forms of expression; and hence this almost forgotten word, loyalty, has suddenly become the most conspicuous and indispensable representative of the Northern idea, whose dissemination and universal acceptance is now a public necessity, as it is of course a supreme public blessing. We now have loyal States, loyal people, loyal citizens, loyal men, loyal merchants, loyal doctors, loyal preachers, loyal churches, loyal courts, loyal judges, loyal leagues, in short, everythiug aud every person without'a loyal prefix is tainted with treason, and ought at once to apply for a pardon or be hung. Nor is it enough that you support and defend the Constitution and the . Union; unless you also hate every? thing and everybody South of tho line 36.30, and pray fervently that | Jeff". Davis and his adherents should ?be "shut up in the penitentiary of hell, and kept there by bayonets;" unless yon love New Ku gland, are a - member of her mutual admiration society, and accept her teachings, "political, social and religious, as a divine inspiration; unless you think that the cotton, gold watches, plate, jewelry, pianos, wardrobes, &c, of Southern rebels are the lawful prize ? of her soldier.- and christian missioii aries; unless you heartily rejoice over the plunder and desolation of Southern homes, the burning and sacking of Southern cities, the de? struction of their public buildings and archives, their churches, seats of learning and asylums; unless you accept Butler as a true type of hero? ism, honesty and humanity, and Cheever and Brownlow as saints; un? less you are willing for the colored brethren to ride with yon in the cars, ? vote with you at the polls, c it and sleep with you at hotels, sit beside j you at theatres, concerts and lectures, 1 dance with you at balls and represent you in the halls of Congress, State | Legislatures, and in all public agen? cies; unless you favor negro equality, social and political, in general, and j negro domination over the Southern j States in particular; and, in fine, ( unies? you are, a radical Mack Repub licitn, you ax?^not loyal. j Loyalty is ii duty which an inferior owes to a superior; and hence it is essential that the South should, as evidence of her loyalty, meekly receive the Northern idea as the greatest earthly boon; and most humbly repent of the monstrous1 crime of ever having indul^ci nny doubt on this subject. As a further atonement, the rebels must welcome to their hearts and firesides the host of upright and pious, missionaries and teachers, male and female, whom Northern benevolence lias recently sent nhiong theta to inculcate this idea, and thus dispel the more than heathen darkness and barbarism that j brooda over that accursed _ land. Especial! yr should they reverently heed the example and instructions of such apostolic messengers as.-the Revds. Fitz and James, of tho Freed? men's Bureau. ^The States of the Union, also, con? trary to the understanding of the framers of the Constitution, and to the-generally received opinion, being the mere creatures of the Federal power, owe loyalty to the latter; and the people, being the servants and subjects bf both, owe them both loyalty. The -only loyal men and the only loyal States now are those who sus? tain the patriotic measures concocted j in the conclave of the Congressional star-chamber. The Supreme Court is no longer iai/al, because it has de? cided that Military Commissions and Federal and State test oaths have no constitutional warrant; and because it presumes, without authority from Congress, to hear and determine causes to which rebels are parties. Congress is now the only loyal de? partment of tho Government; and should the people, the heretofore submissive and passive servants of radical sovereignty and patriotism, dare to return to that body, in the coming elections, a majority of cop? perheads and conservatives, loyalty will be extinct in the Federal Admi? nistration ; and then the loyal leagues and wide-awake cl nbs, under the command of that loyal hero, Clen. Butler, will be compelled to seize the reins of power, and, after the manner of innumerable precedents established under the auspices of radical liberty, oust the President, Congress and thc Supreme Judges, and restore the Union to a loyal condition. I On the whole, wo think the time i has arrived to revise Webster's defini? tion of loyalty thus: A quality which I belongs exclusively to men born in New England, or who wish they liad been, and those who are favored by Providence with black skins. UNIS. The North-western Advocate has lately given, in quadrennial period, (as far as possible,) from the year of the organization of the Episcopal Church, the returns of membership in thc whole world. The table is very striking: 1784_18,990 1792.... 05,980 1796_50,664 1828. -421,156 1832 . 548,593 1836. 650,103 1800 _64,894(1840. 852,918 1804 . ..113,134 1844.1.171,356 1808_151,995 I 1848. 639,066 1812_195,357 | 1852. 728,700 1816_214,235 | 1856. 830,327 1820_256,881 1860 .... 994,447 1824_328,523 | 18t5 4. 928,320 Prof. Greene, of the Maine Medical School, recently performed a rare but efiectivo operation for the cure ol that distressing complaint, neuralgia. A lady fifty-three years of age, who had tried every form of medical treatment without relief, applied to Prof. Greene, when ho etherized the patient, trephined the jaw, and cut out a piece of the dental nerve, when the lady was at once relieved from, the most excruciating pain, which she had suffered continnally for years. SUGAH CHOPS AT THE WEST INDIES. The Department of Stato has been informed by tho United States Consul at St. Croix, West Indies, that the crop of sugar this year will probably reach 12,000 hogsheads, with a cor? responding quantity of molasses and rum, from 5,009 to 8,000 hogsheads. This w"ill be fifty per cent, moro than the crop \ 1865, and fully double that of the proceeding year. The Mayor of Jackson, Miss., lately \ tendered his resignation, which was not accepted. He gave ns his reason for wishing to resign, increasing duties, municipal poverty in money and institutions, no police, no jail, alarming increase of chino and im? morality, constant complaints of roads and bridges, and many other af? flictions. His life, he says, is threaten? ed almost daily. A Chinaman at Toulon bore sen? tence of life imprisonment with com? posure; but wl^en they cut his tail ott' he fainted and threatens to dio of grief.
