Tile South.
If thc spectacle of a great son],
struggling heroically with thc waves
of adversity, is pleasing f<> thc gods,
the spectacle of a great people, trans?
fixed with the arrows <>f misfortune, I
aud bleeding at every pore, yet utter-1
ing no exclamation of anguish or
unger, and neither losing faith in :
Heaven nor in it-s own uprightness, j
is truly sublime. Such an cxhibi- ;
tion, grand and affecting to all minds
winch can appreciate Imo moral
greatness, tho South now presents,
if the persecutions <>f their enemies
went not completely blinded by party
passions, they would feel more reve?
rence for the South in its misfor?
tunes than when, at thc summit of
its prosperity, it guided and eon
trolled the destinies of the great na?
tion, tli communities, as with
individuals, it is only the lires of
adversity that reveal thc true charac?
ter, and prove whether it is made of
gold or dross. T< > such an ordeal has
tho South boen subjected, and wo
assert that tho* result 1ms demon?
strated that it is au essentially great
people, und will be remembered a. 1
admired in history as much for thc
serene fortitude and noble dignity
with which it lias sustained the diresl
calamities, as for its brilliant states?
manship in the period of it's power
und inliucnce, aud for that magnifi?
cent valor in battle which has extort?
ed the admiring- acclamations of the
world.
Wind the South Avus i;> thc days ol
her former greatness, wo all know. It
was she who gave to thc world its
"one Washington," the man raised
np by Heaven for the achievement of
American independence; the man
whose wonderful energiesand capaci?
ty, combined with the most spotless
purity of purpose and o? character,
w. ff the principal agency in the suc?
cessful conduct of thc American Re?
volution and the triumphant estab?
lishment of tho greatest republic of
modern times. Lt was her Jefferson j
who wrote the Declaration of Inde-1
pendence; her Patrick Henry whose
eloquent voice thrilled li lc o a clarion
blast thc hearts of a? struggling peo?
ple; her Madison, woo illuminated
with his wisdom thc true principles
ol tho. American Constitution, and
her Marshall, who remains to this
day tho unapproached and unap?
proachable glory of American juris?
prudence. The sagacity of her states?
men in tho national councils con?
ducted tlf United ?States on to a
career of progress and prosperity*
unexampled in the records of nations,
and the splendid genius of her sol?
diers in tho field crowned with im?
mortal chaplets of military renown.
lt was her Winfield Scott,.Andrew
Jackson and Zachary Taylor, who,
from the snows of Canada to the
tropic sands of "Mexico, gave to the
world exhibitions of the superior
martial skill and prowess of our
countrymen to foreign enemies which
it had ever seen, and it. was the con?
summate statesmanship and all em?
bracing patriotism of Henry Clay
which thrco times saved thc Union
ho loved so Veil from the perils of
division and civil war. These, tim
fathers of American greatness, were
the children of the great and glorious
wother afc whose breast they were
nursed, ou whose lap they first stood
erect, from whose lips they first
learned those lessons of patriotism,
virtue and valor which made their
country great among Wc- nations,
and t heir names immortal among mon.
Nor has the South contributed less
to the material than to the political
and military importance of thc
nation. The vast domain of the
teeming and productive West was
given by the South to thc American
Union. It is no figure of speech,
e. but the literal truth, she has been
; mother not only of statesmen,
but of States, and those Slates the
most fertile, and destined to bo
come tho most populous and power?
ful, of tho American common?
wealth. Thc wonderful variety and
extent, of the peculiar produc?
tions of In r own soi!, of cotton, rice,
tobacco, and naval stores, have laid
tl?o foundations of American com?
merce and cont i ii mted by far the
greater part of tho revenues of the
ratton. Strip from Amoscan pro-j
gressand wealth the clements winch
the South has contributed, and what
would remain? What, would have
been the revolution without Washing?
ton? What its growth and fortunes
but for the gift of the South to the
United States of the richest portions
?d' its territory, and the commercial,
manufacturing and national wealth,
derived from tin; products of South?
ern agricultural industry? Deprived
of thoso accessories to its greatness,
the United States, if it so much as
existed, would be a fourth or fifth
rate power, without j?ank or respect
among thc nations.
All this glory of thc South is past,
and how dor ; the land sit desolate
that was ouce so radiant with benefi?
cent power! Stripped of $4,000,
000,OOO ot* property, bereaved of
300.000 of her children, shut ont
from the Union which she did so
much to build up and enrich, she yet
maintains a composure and fortitude
more marvellous thau her proudest,
achievements in the council and the
field. Despoiled of her earthly pos?
sessions, loekiug back upon the most
disniM blight, that ever came upon
the fortunes of a people, looking for?
ward to the gathering <d* sombre
clouds that threaten her utter destruc?
tion, with earthepjakes rnmbliug he
neat h her feet, and at her heart
anguish and despair tugging like
wild beasts, no querulous complaint
drops from her lips, no frown of in?
dignation or impatience disturbs her
brow; there is sadness and resigna?
tion, hut not one abject glance in her
heroic eye.

The New York bor/./thinks that the
radicals have already done their
worst against tho South. It says:
As regards the South, they have
already gone to the length of their
tether. After passing over the veto
of the President, their civil rights
bill, and their "Freedmen's Bureau
bill, they could proceed no farther
except by proposing amendments to
the constitution. But amendments
binn;; nullities till ratified by three
fonrths'of the States, the resistance
of the South is more effective in re?
spect to them, than the President ?al
voto is in respect to ordinary laws.
The veto can. lie overcome by two
thirds of both Houses, but the nega?
tive thirteen States (Kentucky, Mary?
land and Delaware make up the
I thirteen) on a proposed amendment,
can in no way be overcome till the
number of Stales reaches fifty-two
rt larger number than wc are likely to
! have.
j Thc South, then, has nothing
! worse to fear, tts a consequence of
I the late elections, than a protracted
exclusion front Congress. Negro
suffrage cannot be forced on them
except by nu amendment to tho con?
stitution, which they can cheek-mate.
New penalties for treason are equally
impossible, by tho prohibition to
pass ex post facto laws. The old pen?
alties have been remitted by the Pre?
sident's proclamation i f amnesty and
his individual pardons. The State
governments which have been form?
ed in the South cannoh be upset,
because Congress never conies in
contact with them except in judging
of their competency to furnish cre?
dentials to members of that body.
Congress having already done its
utmost against the South, that sec?
tion hon nothing t-o fear in conse?
quence of these elections, beyond
what it already saliers.
THE WHEAT Cnor rx VIRGTNIA-.-A
Charlestown (Virginia) naper says:
"The memory of the oldest inha?
bitants cannot call to mind an au?
tumn when tlii* wheat crop presented
a finer appearance than that now
shown by the crop recently seeded.
The wheat everywhere seems to have
come np well, and tilt; broad acres of
our farmers ure smiling in their garb
of velvety green, lt is earnestly
hoped that a benign Providence will
so order events as to secure a fruition
of the present promise, and bless the
labor of the farmer with a prolific
yield.'"
GEX. BEAUREGARD.-This late Con?
federa tc officer, in a late letter, re?
marks: "When I surrendered with
the Confederate forces at Greensboro,
N. C., I buried the hatchet, not to
be unburied again, except in defence
of 'he country and its constitutional
Government."

Killst- Prophets.
The Richmond Times has thc fol?
lowing excellent article:
The fools and madmen of this "na?
tion'' never grow tired of butting
their heads against the granite truths
built np by history and experience.
Philanthropic fools and madmen are
the same everywhere, and only a few
examples are needed to prove it.
When the Abolitionists of England
clamored for emancipation in the
West indies, the great argument ad?
duced in its favor was a pecuniary
one. Tt was contended that free labor
would make those islands "blossom
like the rose," and that their imports
and exports would be quadrupled.
The argument was a telling one, and
an appeal to John J hill's pockets was
never yet made in vain: so emancipa?
tion was decreed, and England's West
india possessions have never been
worth anything to her since. "Ro?
bespierre and St. Just preached the
same doctrine in France, in ITS'.?, und
Hayti was "regenerated and disen?
thralled." And where is Hayti now?
lt has relapsed into wilderness. the
negroes into savages, and tho whites
have nearly all left the island. So
little do men heed history and profit
by its teachings, that Ave heard just
j the same class of arguments when
abolition agitation commenced here,
as were employed to secure the action
of the British and French Govern?
ments upon tho question of emanci?
pation in their colonies. "Liberate
your slaves," we were told, "and a
million of f?cernen will rush to the
South the first year of the act."
Well, they have been liberated, and
it is now eighteen months since the
deed was done, but thc "million of
freemen" have not been forth-coming.
Again: It Avas predicted by a fa?
mous radical oracle of Abolition, in a
speech in New York shortly after tin
war, that "in two years America
would resume her supremacy in the
cotton market." But six months of
the two years are left for the fulfill?
ment of this prophecy, and yet Ave
see nothing which promises to verify
the prediction.
Themost liberal estimates of the
cotton crop for tho present year
which have cometo us from different
sources, do nut exceed one million of
bales, against Xour trillions the year
bet?re the Avar! So dirt-cheap and
mean do the Abolition orators and
presses feel at being exposed in their
deceit and falsehood, that they are
trying to explain the deficiency in
various ingenious ways, ascribing it
to bad weather, long droughts, poor
seed and cotton worms; but it will
not do. The stubborn, cruel fact
stares them in the face, that cotton
has not been produced as they pre?
dicted, and has not been cheapened
as they swore it would hythe aboli?
tion of slave ry. And these base,
false prophets are indicating their
own want of confidence in thc truth
of their vaticinations about the future
of cotton, by advising their people to
goto raising "wool and llax! Does
that look as if they expected c otton
to bo here-after abundant and cheap?
Does it argue well for thc truth of
the men who belong to the party of
"Progress" and great moral ideas,
when we hear them advising a return
to the condition of their ancestors,
who pulled flax and spun with the
distaff? Verily, the car of civiliza?
tion has balked in its path, and is
about to be rolled back by the model
reformers of tho age! Surely, the
world should not again take to weav?
ing tlax and wool, if "cotton is to
regain its supremacy" by tho aid of
free labor.
A Southern man is said to have of?
fered a reward for Lincoln's head
when Lincoln was his armed enemy
-that is fearful, fiendish crime.
A Northern clergyman, in a Chris?
tian pulpit, prays for the death of
Mr. Johnson, his own President
that is patriotism and public virtue.
An assemblage convenes in New
Orleans to overthrow tho ( Jo\ eminent
of the State against the wiil of the
people-that is patriotic.
A deputation of the citizens of
Baltimore, in the forms of law, prefer
charges against delinquent radical
public officers-that is treason.
In the backwoods of Texas, some
lawless men frighten an agent of the
Fre< (linen's Bureau out ?d' the coun?
try because of his insulting expres?
sions-that is heinous rebellion, justi?
fying the exclusion of an entire State
from representation.
In Chicago, an assassin endeavors
to shoot down the President of the
United States while exercising the
right of freo speech-that is patriot?
ism.
And so of every other instance in
which the relative virtue or character
of the two peoples (for they are two)
are to be tested by similar incidents
and facts.
- .
The Indians on tho Plains have
scalped 3,000 white people this sea?
son.
We learn from the Statesville Ame?
rican that Mr. Benjamin Turner, who
lately moved from Eredell County, in
this State, to Illinois, returned, per?
fectly satisfied with a Oirce weeks'
residence in the Prairie State. He
found land high, and even a cabin to
put his head in, d Lilien lt to get at
any price, and corn selling at from
fifteen to twenty cents per bushel.
What inducement does such a coun?
try offer to one who expects to make
money by farming? Never, in thc
history of our dear old Stale, was
such remunerative prices paid to the
producer, and such inducements of?
fered to the young and enterprising
to go to work. While coin is bring?
ing from fifteen to twenty cents in
the West, here it readily commands
seven times as mach. And the profit
on the staple article-cotton-still
greater. Then, why think of emi?
grating? We want population, and,
all things considered, no region on
this broad continent oilers, to the
industrious and enterprising, who
expect to work the soil, greater in?
ducements than this country -taking
Charlotte as the centre, and extend?
ing in all directions a distance of sixty
miles, lu the section here indicated,
everything abounds that can, if pro?
perly developed, add wealth and pros?
perity to thc possessor. Here it is,
where wheat and cotton grow to per?
fection in contiguous fields. Cold,
iron, copper, lime and other minerals
abound; and, on (?very stream, water
power enough and to spare, lu this
same section, grow thc spruce pine,
on, the North, and the long leaf on
South and East; tho walnut, ashc
and mapie, and all the most valuable
timber of commerce and of uso in
our own shops. All this, concentrated
in a section whose diameter is barely
over 100 miles, and yet we hoar of
persons emigrating. The folly is fully
realized, when a man like Mr. Turner,
of Iredell, tries it, and gladly returns
to his old roed' tree.
'?'Tis distance lends enchantment to the
j view,"'
And many of these emigrants go
with the hope of getting- into acorn:
try where they can live comfortably
and make money without labor. The
sooner* that delusion is dispelled, thc
better. Go where you will, work is
the destiny of our race. "By the
sweat of his brow shall man eat
bread." Whether this was entailed
on man asa curse or a blessing, it is
not the place here to discuss. But
certain ir is, that the necessity of la?
bor i .d:-*s-and the sooner all, par?
ticularly in our prostrate land, realize
thc fact, thc sooner repining will
cease, a healthy tone of mind pervade
the public, and steps for our perma?
nent recuperation to independence
and prosperity ensue.
To thc industrious an J willing-to
work class, there is no necessity to
emigrate. This country oilers all the
advantages needed for comfort and
success in life. To thc idle, they had
better iraM?-migratc, from habits of
sloth into that of activity, and they
will effectually be in a new country,
[without tho trouble and expense of
moving.-Charlotte (N. C.) Time*.
j When the great Richelieu died, his
head was separated from his body
and preserved. After several months
of research, tint head has at length
been found, in the possession of an
ancient family in Bretagne, and forth?
with sent to Paris to tin; Minist?re
de l'Instruction Publique. Those who
were present at the opening of the
box, describe the head as in a won?
derful state of preservation. Tia1
eye-brows, whiskers, imperial and
moustache are of a reddish color, and
quite perfect; one eye-lid was closed,
the other open ; the flesh, ol' course,
was black. It bore something of lint
appearance of a mask, but not at all
unpleasing.
A NTRW MATEEIATJ.-It i? said that
an artificial ivory is now made in
France from a paste of papier marin'
and gelatin. Billiard balls formed ol'
this material, though barely a third
of the price of those made from real
ivory, are yet so durable and elasth
that they can be thrown from the lop
of the house on to the pavement, or
violently struck with, a hammer, with?
out injury. With this same paste, to
which the name of Parisian maible is
given, among other things, the finest
and most complicated mouldings for
ceilings can be made, or capitals of
calmans can be constructed in any
color so as to resemble! tho most valu?
able marbles.
