A Beautiful Extract.
lt is :i long; time since wo have read
anything so beautiful in tho English
language ?is the following paragraphs.
They aro from an address, delivered
before ii convention of the press <>i
Mississippi, by Col. Manlou, editor
of tho Vicksburg; Times. Of all the
tributes to the South und her lost
cause which have boon published, wc
have seeu'nothing to exceed this iu
its touching sweetness: ?
"Southern national il y is :i dream
of the past. A gulf, beyond which
wo could not puss, yawned botweou
us and the realization of our hopes;
and though bright flowers bloomed
upon its brink, and wafted us sweet
perfume, we could not cross to gather !
them.
l'The Southern cross no longer
gleams out amid the wild light of
buttle; the sword of the vanquished
is sheathed, und the land is gloomy
with the harmless sepulchres of our
martyred dead. But when year.;
upon years shall have passed away
when tho last of the present genera- j
tion sleep with their lathers, audnew '
forms throng the old familiar places- j
when faction .shall have hushed and ;
justice hold tho scales-- then, as j
bright as day and as free from ble- i
misli and stain, will stand forth in
bright relief upon the scroll of his- j
torie- fame, the record of the South, i
dearer to the hearts of her children j
now in the hour of sorrow, than
when, on tho march to victory, she
won the admiration of the world.
Pilgrims from other lands shall tread,
with reverend step, above the spot
where moulders tho dust of our loved
and lost; while those who arc to fol?
low us will cherish as household gods
tho names of those who, carving a
w;iy through tho fiery path of war,
have written their names where they
can never die. The principle for
which so mam* laid dowu their lives
may not bo recognized .until their
names have grown feeble on the
tongue of friendship, and been drop?
ped, like dead silence, from the ear
of the world. But it will struggle
back from the hollow bosom that
once bled for it, and ascend tin
heights of Government. And when
the faithful historian shall descend
into the vaults of the dead past, in
quest of traditions of liberty, he will
then discover to whom the world is
indebted for their perpetuation."
A special despatch to the New Or?
leans Crescent, dated Washington.
November 1, says:
Gen. Grant has attended personally
to the question of the restoration to
Gen. Beauregard of the effects be?
longing to him, but taken possession
of by military authority, notwith?
standing tho terms of his parole?
which, it was claimed, secured them
to him. Tho necessary order has
been sent to Gen. Sheridan, and they
will doubtless be at once handed to j
their owner.
Gen. Taylor, of Louisiana, dined
yesterday with Generals (irani and
Sherman, and the interchange of
courtesies between them was frank
and gallant.
The Treasury developments are po?
sitively astounding on the subject of
the seizures of Confederate cotton in
the South. The number of bales
that ought to have, been accounted
for by the agents of the department
was 200,000. But, including private
seizures, all that has been accounted
for is 90,0110 bales. These facts are
expected to lead to some unpleasant
consequences to tho parties responsi?
ble for delinquencies in the premises.
THE CHARLESTON MERCURY.-We
are pleased to announce that the pub
lication of this well-known journal i.

Mercury was for many years the lead?

Birth , bul of the whole South.
The barque Everhard, from live
men, with 170 German immigrants,
arrived in Charleston on Wednesday.
These immigrants intend to settle in
South Carolina, laang mostly con?
nected with German families already
resident here.
The "Young America" steam lire
eugine took the prize-a silver cup
at the tournament in Charleston, on
Wednesday. The engines did not do
as well as was expected, 198 feet
being the greatest distance thrown.
The Colonization Society's ship
Golconda will sail from Charleston
for Liberia to-morrow, carrying about
OOO freedmen emigrants, nearly 500
of whom, chiefly from Georgi;- and
South Carolina, have already taken \
passage.

LOOK BEFORE rou LEAI?.-The Tus?
kegee (Ala.) Neics cautions its read?
ers against inducements recently held
out to them to remo re to Texas. Men
of good judgments have just returned
from that State, and state that tho
crops reported in that quarter aro
confined to a few farms.
Dovrnfull of tu.? SowtUeri? Oligarchy.
Under this bead, tho New York
Herald, of Monday, has tho folio wing
leader:
One fact which the late elections in
the North must make plainly mani?
fest l>> the people in the South, is the
determination of the country that the
old politicians who Lave misruled the
country for the past fifty years shall
nut again come into power. Nothing
served moro to arouse the strong
party feeling displayed in the late
political contests than the promi?
nence taken in tho attempted recon?
struct inn of tho democratic, party by
old secession leaders of tho South,
like M ise and Stephens, to the ex?
clusion of Union men like Joshua
Hill, and the copperheads of tho
North, like Cly mer and Hoffman, to
the exclusion of sound war democrats
like Dix. The country does not need
and does not desire the re-organ?
ization of the democratic party with
copperheads and rebels at its head;
and thc people of the South had bet?
ter repudiate thc demagogues of the
past, and with younger leaders, from
the middle, not the moneyed class,
take a new departure for prosperity,
enlightenment and peace by adopting
thcwconstitutional amendment, which
restores the "lu me and sinew"' of the
South to their rights and privileges
in thc Union, while it forever con?
signs to obscurity the old leaders who
so basely oppressed and then foully
betrayed them into a war against
their own best interests.
It is foolish for tho people of thc
South to say "we must stand by our
old leaders;" for it is a false sense of
honor which induces aman to uphold
another who has betrayed him into
committing' wrong. The treason of
the Southern slave-holding aristocracy
against the country was not greater
than thc inhumanity which they had
l'or years systematically practiced
upon the laboring class of the South.
The controlling interests in slave la?
bor and landed property, at the
South, had been, for many years
before thc war, in thc hands of less
than "00,000 of thc 300,000 persons
who owm-,1 slaves; and these 90,000
have been the rulers, not only of the
South, but up to 1SG0, tiny dictated,
at Washington, to the country at
large. They wielded a great influence
for evil over thc people of tho South,
and retained that power by the most
infamous of means. They persist?
ently kept the "poor whites" in ig?
norance, discouraged free schools and
established only those of the most
expensive? character, leaving thc
whites t..) grow up in ignorance, well
knowing that, as long us they were
ignorant, they could be ruled. They
imbued the two races which form thc
laboring class of thc South-thc
"jioor whites'" and negroes-with thc
idea that their int.'rests were antago?
nistic, and. by artful means, created
between them :i prejudice which, tc
this day, and mud for many years ti
come, politically divide the laboring
class of tho South, when it ought t<
be united in purpose, as it is in inte
rest. Through t bc ignorance of botl
these classes ami the prejudice exist
ing between them, the slaveholders
wove enabled io rule them with a roc
of iron, and thc slavery in which th<
negro existed was not more absolut?
than that endured by the "pool
whites." This ignorance and preju
dice was the strength of the rebel
lion; for had tho people of the Soutl
understood tho demagogues whe
ruled them, and thc purposes to whicl
they aspired, tin.re would never have
been any rebellion.
The same leaders now seek to re
store their'lost power, and to reviv?
by the reconstruction of the old Dc
mocratic party the machinery bi
which they ruled the country befort
the V.Mr. J?ut Congress has prepare?
a means for forever dispossessing
these leaders, and tho North ha:
firmly and positively decided, in tin
late elections, that Congress is to bi
sustained und the amendment bi
made a law. The provision is a wisi
one, framed in the true interests o
the whole country, for the benefit 0
the laboring classes of the South
both white and black, and the forme
should step forward to assist in th
work of shelving their old leader
und nullifying their schemes hy th
adoption o? the constitutiona
amendment.

SUMTET? Coi"i:r. -The Watchman
alluding to the opening of the fa
term of tho Court in that District
says :
Tho charge of .Judge Aldrich to th
Grand Jury was characterized by wi
dom and patriotism. Judge Aldricl
from the general coarse pursued b
him since his investment with tl:
functions of the judiciary, has wo
greatly upon the popular favor.
Maj. J. T. Green, in tho "absent
of Solicitor Fair, who, we regret 1
leam, was sick, discharged the dilti?
of that office with much earnestne:
and with marked ability, l'ossessc
of a high onler of talents, and with

A Defence of thc Hebrews.
A radical religious paper, of Cin?
cinnati, alluding to the splendid new
Hebrew Temple, in that city, in?
dulges ii L sneering remarks upon tho
Hebrews, and the manner in which
they made their money, charging
them with turning the war to profit.
The Israelite, published in tho same
city, replies as follows:
Instead, however, of revilingothers,
let them admonish their neighbors t<>
give honor to tifo Ijord, and outdo
Jewish churches in splendor and mag?
nificence. Hut this is too religious
and too charitable for an orthodox
sheet; it prefers rovilingits neighbors,
who erected a temple which, for
splendor and magnificence, outdoes
christian churches hero. Why should
they not bo reviled, when it, is pub?
licly known that they erected a tem?
ple to the Most. High! Do they not
deservo a slur, a kick, or, at least, an
insinuation?
That this people, like any other in
this country, have become richer
din ing the war, cannot bo well de?
nied, since, on account of the pub
lie debt, 3,000,000,000 of fictitious
capital have been cleated for 30,000,
000 of people, so that each man,
woman or child in this country is
worth SlOO more fictitious capital
than he, shu or it was beforo the war.
There you have the exact calculation.
If the Pene Yeshuran people of Cin?
cinnati count 2,500 souls, and each
gave up tho $100 surplus fictitious
capital, they realized exactly a quar?
ter of a million, about the amount
expended on the new Temple. From
this, we hope the Witness will see
that the money was all honestly made
in Washington, or somewhere else
where greenbacks were manu factured.
Wonder how many churches lint?
ier. Banks, Buell and Brownlow ?
built, to speak only of tho B.'s who
amassed fortunes in the late war?
Wonder what the whole crowd of
shoddies did with their money for the
glory of (rod? In Cincinnati, wo
have seen nothing except prayer
meetings, which cost nothing. The
Jew is made of a different metal; he
has sense enough to make money and
heart enough to'Spend it. "The war
was a rich harvest to 4hem." Not
quite as rich as to those pious men
who robbed thc public treasury of
miUions- -the defaulting paymasters,
the trading generals, the permit
brokers in uniform, the cotton spe?
culating patriots aud all the cousins,
nephews, uncles, fathers, brothers
and grand-fathers of big men, who
sucked the marrow of the laud; the
Jew was obliged to work for himself,
hence he could not expect so rich a
harvest-still he made money-at
least 8100 each a head. But there is
no collection list on record, for re- '
emiting purposes, for feeding pass- ;
ing soldiers, supporting soldiers' I
families, or any other - . aritable pur?
pose to which the Jews, in proportion
to number and wealth, did not con- j
tribute more, much more, than any
other religious denomination. Now.
the war over, they do not convert
their capital into United States bonds,
and retire with tho wealth to places
beyond the reach of society and its
wants, as four-fifths of all the shod?
dies do; they spend fortunes in im?
proving the public thoroughfares of
tho city, beautifying the private
streets and erecting houses of wor?
ship to the Most High. The shoddies
would not do anything-that's what
ails tin; Witness.
DECLINE JN- PKICES.-The New
York papers announce the breaking
up of various speculating movements
in the necessaries of life in that, city,
which has caused a most gratifying
d?clin?e in prices. Fork has fallen
four dollars a barrel, wheat from live
to eight cents a bushel, and corn
eight cents a bushel. Buyers, it is
reported, even at these reduced
figures, are very scarce.
A Mr. J. J. Hofstetter, of Charles?
ton, Vvhile on the passage between
Charleston and Edisto, in a rowboat,
in company with several gentlemen,
was instantly killed by the accidental
discharge of a gun laying in the bot?
tom of tho boat, against which he
struck his foot.
TIMK.--The vehicle that carries
everything into nothing. We talk of
spending our time, as if it were, so
much interest of a perpetual annuity ;
whereas,'?e are all living upon our
capital; and he who wastes a single
day throws away that which can never
bo recalled or recovered.
Mrs. Eva Lancaster, wife of an edi?
tor in Texas, is conducting the paper
while her husband is avoiding arrest
by the Freedmen's Bureau. Truly,
she is au "help meet" for him in his
hour of peril.

A Possible Result.
Thc Richmond Times thinks that
their lato victories may make the
radicals conserv?t ?vc. It says:
The vast majorities by which the
radicals have swept the North, seating
them securely in power, may render
them so conscious of theil* strength,
that all tho wild outcry against {he
South, for the hanging ot' our leaders
and the confiscation of our property,
may possibly cease. We know that
the great mass of the? North hate us
with an intensity that would startle
the devils in hell, and that many a
gentle woman in the land of wooden
nutmegs and pumpkin pies, und
many a white cravatted Puritan
divine, minister of thc Prince ol'
Peace, would conn- trooping'joyfully,
as on a pleasure excursion, to wit?
ness tho hanging of thc illustrious
ex-president of the Confederate
States, or any of our distinguished
chieftains. But politicians are gene?
rally more practical men. Thc radi?
cals saw that the ground was slipping
from beneath their feet, and the
sceptre of power was about to be
snatched from their grasp, and that
to retain it they must, by every po?
litical falsehood, by every appeal to
the Northern masses, lash their
passions into a fury that would carry
the elections for them; arel they have
done it successfully.
They promised tho sweet maiden,
on the banks of the Connecticut, that
she should lap the blood of "trai?
tors."' They pledged the holy man
of God that he might persecute the
Southerners, and thad, they should bc
compelled to listen to his nasal
preachings for hours at a time, till
they were educated or converted
and they promised the rest a distribu?
tion of our goods and chattels, for it
was rigdit that the saints should enjoy
the lands of thc sinners. By such and
similar appeals, tho radicals, aided by
any quantity of electioneering lies
and Forney's and Greeley's sensation
stories, have swept the North audgot
firmly seated once more, in power.
They have got what they wanted
office; and to enjoy it, they must have
quiet. They do not want revolution
that would spoil their plans, and pos?
sibly oust them from their fat places.
Having got. what they chiefly de?
sired, and for thc; attainment of which
they have, for a year and a half, b< en
making such ferocious and blood?
thirsty speeches, it is quite probable
they will drop that song, become
quite conservative and compromise
with the President. Getting into
power, and being certain of their po?
sition, they are very apt to make
both men and parties conservative.
We shall see if it has that effect the
next session of the United States
Congress.
