We nave had not much apprehen?
sion ubout tho confiscation doctrines
enunciated by some of tho politicians
of tho country; but wo fenr that, like
the call for repudiation, it is getting
too familiar in tho ears of the people,
and may, in tho end, result in terrible
mischief, not only in the South, but
all over the country. Gerrit Smith
has recently -written n letter upon this
subject, from which we mako tho fol?
lowing extract:
"Confiscation once entered upon,
it will bo difficult, if not impossible,
to set limits to tho spread of its de?
moralizing power. The spirit of law?
less greed engendered by confiscation
wiU no moro stop at State or other
lines than will tho flames of a prairio
firo at the word of command. Let
there bo confisent' ; in the South
for tho benefit of these, Mr. Stevens'
loyal losers, and also for the bonofit
of tho poor blacks, as he also pro
goses; and very soon, under its do
auchinginfluence,|immenso numbers
ot the North will he clamoring, in
the name of "Agrarianism," "Equal?
ization," and other taking names,
for their neighbors' possessions. And
these rich possesbions, it must be
remembered, will kindlo tho spirit of
robbery, as can none of* the poor
possessions of tho desolated South."
Tho pe?plo of tho North, where
confiscation is not threatened, should
reflect upon tho views expressed in
the abovo extract. Already, we have
men, in several papers, the demand
for "equal taxation or repudiation."
Next, will come tho cry for an equal
division of tho large and fertile farms
of the North and North-west into
"forty-acre lots," if need bc, when
tho peace of the community, nud
personal rights throughout, will bo
totally upset, and a reigu of aunrchy
follow.
To strengthen thc apprehension
that is beginning to bo felt through?
out tho country, there are a few other
indications that ought not to ')0 over?
looked. Gen. Butler, in a reccut
letter, announced it ns "aself-ovident
political truth, where the land is held
in large tracts by tho employer, and
to bo tilled by the employed, there
can bo no just and true field for the
oxerciso of republican citizenship.
And it is one of the pressing exi?
gencies of the country, ns tho very
basis of reconstruction, that some
plan must bo devised by which tho
lands of the South may bo divided
among thoso who shall occupy and
till them."
Following him, we havu n speech
from Senator Wade, recently deliver?
ed in Lawrence, Kansas, which gives
the logicul s?quence of Gen. Butler's
principio in declaring that property
?B not fairly divided in other parts of
the country besides the South, and
a moro equal distribution must bo
wrought out.
This is neither a sectional nor party
question, but ono which conics home
to every mun of substance, North or
South, und, therefore, ns tho Balti?
more Sun soys, it is a dangerous
thing to familiarize the public mind
to conficntiou mid agrarianism in tho
South. Thoso doctrines may conn:
to have u wider application than was
intondod; The seeds of agrarian
ideas, so profusely sown over tho
Southern soil, have already been
wafted to a diff?rent latitude from
that which they were intended, and
if they do not take root and produce
a wide-spread harvest of thorns and
briars, it will be because the soil is
not adapted to the growth, for the
workingmen there know that indus?
try, thrift and enterprise ure effectual
in thia country tu improve any man's
condition.
Putting out of view confiscation
and agrarian doctrines, we have
often, in this journal, expressed our
conviction that the large tracts of
fertile but uncultivated lands now
lying unproductive throughout tho
South ought to be apportioned out
into moderato farms, either to be
leased to industrious tenants or sold
to immigrants. Suob a doune would
not only give us a population that
would aid materially in resuscitating
the South aud developing her re?
sources, but would put an effectual
stop to agrarian doctrines and silence
the senseless cry of confiscation.

Rev. Mr. Beecher is excoriating

New York papers.
COSTDT?ED BELLIGERENCY.-The
fact that Secretary Seward's profiera
of the frieuc'?y mediati?us of (he
United States to the various bellige?
rent South American States have
been respectfully declined, indicates
how chronic is tho state of bellige?
rency in thoso quarters. Mexico,
Brazil, the Argentino Provinces, Pa?
raguay, Chili aud Peru have nil been
tendered oilr kindly intervention,
and each, assuring us. as a lady does
a discarded suitor, that abo shall
always look upon ns a3 a frieud. has
politely begged to bo excused. Mr.
Seward's proposition for a peaco con?
gress, at Washington, to decido tho
dispute botweon Spain mid tho South
American republics, bas also been
rejected by Peru and Chili. The w ar,
civil or foreigu, must continue among
the petty South American States.
Mr. Seward's genius for pacification
cannot exorciso tho demon of discord
which reigns supromc among those
fiery children of the sun. He does
not show tho samo success iu that
line on his sido of thc globo that
Queen Victoria docs on hers. Sho
has been very fortunato in reconcil?
ing tho disputants in Europo. There?
fore, perhaps, wore it uot for thc in?
evitable Mouroo doctrine, which, it
is claimed, tolerates uo idea of foreign
intervention on tho American conti?
nent, her ladyship might bo brought
to interpose her friendly offices iu
tho affairs of tho South Amoricau re?
publics. Wo aro afraid, however,
that thoso floreo and impracticable
baniams will never bo united iu a
"happy family," unless they happen,
some day, to run against a military
reconstruction bill of tho North Amo?
ricau eagle.-Ballimore Sun.
A NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTS.
The New York Herald has more than
squinted at rcpudiatioa since the
release of Jefferson Davis. Thc cele?
brated aphorism of Jay Cooke, that
a "national debt is a uational bless?
ing," hos been completely over?
whelmed by another aphorism equally
ns terse and suggestive. Bouuott says:
"If there bo no treason, tho war was
all wrong, and tho national debt is a
natioual swindle."
.Inasmuch as Harper's Weekly and
other radical papers begin to prate of
remitting that debt; and inasmuch as
very few men own the bonds, and
very many others have to pay them
tribute, iu looks rather squally for the
bondmen at home and abroad. The
camel is beginning to kick.
We find in ouc of our exchanges
tho following:
An advertisement in the New Ha?
ven Register offei'3 a reward of ?$500
for the return of a silver communion
set of eleven pieces, engraved as do?
nated to Zion Presbyterian Church
of Winnsboro, S. C., a silver tea set
of three pieces engraved E. I. A.,
a miniature breastpin on ivory, and
a lady's diamond ring engraved J.
lt. A. to E. L C., which were taken
possession of by a soldier known as
Captain Fuller, supposed to belong
to the 11th corps, U. S. A., during
the march of ( len. Sherman through
South Carolina.
A GENERAL DISARMAMENT.-The
semi-official North German Gazette,
of May 28. publishes an article on
thc quest iou of a general disarma?
ment, in which it says: "Wc know
but of one way of effecting this ob?
ject-viz: that one great power which
might wish to bring about a reduc?
tion of its army should oller to take
tho initiative, whereupon other pow- !
ers could make known what reduc?
tions it would be possiblo for them
to effect in their military forces. Wc
aro of opinion that this initiative
belongs to France, but we doubt
whether she will be inclined to take
such a course."

A CHOICE EPISTLE.-Peirpout, the;
Governor of Virginia, in answer to a j
request of Paul Bayley to sign a
petition for tho pardon of Mr. Davis,
writes as follows:
COMMONWEALTH or VIROINLI,
Executive Department, June 4, Y.7.
I* ask for the pardon of no man
who will Dot ask for Iiis own pardon.
God cannot palliou unless tho trans?
gressor first ask for his own purdon.

law of Cod. P. H. PEI?POST.
Rev. PAUL BAGLEY.
The Poles act honorably and wisely !
in repudiating tho attack made by a j
fanatic madman upon the Emperor !
of Russia. They have undoubtedly j
been wroi ged by Russia, and their ?
cause looks anything but hopeful;!
but any countenance givou to a
scheme of murder would have utterly j
mined it forever, and deprived them
of thc sympathy of tho civilized
world.
It is said that many of thc "collin!
pussons" in Washington roso uti
2 o'clock on the morning of election, I
for the purpose of exercising their
new privilege of suffrage. They
felt like tho boys who get up before
daylight on the morning of thc ?lh
of July.
THE NORTHERN LAKES.-Tho source '
of the supply and tho outflow of tho i
great North-western lakes is to bu
investigated this year by the United
StatesGovcrnmtnt. There has here?
tofore been much discussion, but uo
investigation upon this interesting
subject.
Tho great speech of female suf?
frage in Parliament is styled politi?
cal Mill-inery.
Oue of the Japanese Dalmois has
a yearly income ol' over $900,000.
I DlSTlt?SR IX IltLIiAXD.-Painful ac
counts come from the West of Ire
laud, where a winter of unusual
severity has been experienced. Tho
London Slar says :
Ominously startling features of tho
former famine aro already re-appear?
ing. Fever and nakedness, and the
palsied look of hopelessness, accom?
pany chronic hunger, as of old, while
there is tho terrible novelty of cattle
diseases, which are so virulent that
tho despairing people seldom ever
skin tho stricken beasts nnd sheep,
but leave them unburied where they
faU. Tho imminence of pestilence
from this sourco is aggravated by tho
fact that tho carcasses of pigs dying
from the murrain nre being fed upon
by tho more destitute of the Buffer?
ers, for the price of the two local
staples of food, namely, potatoes and
Ind inn meal, is now much beyond
what the ordinary miserable wages of
the district would supply. But even
such aro no longer being earned.
Employment, there is virtually none.
Thero is no scope for it, and no menus
of payment, if thero were-the few
large lauded proprietors having to go
without their rents in great part, if
not altogether. Emigration lins boon
carried to ks uttermost limits, and
further exodus is impossible, for luck
of thc wherewithal to sustain it.
GOOD ADVICE TO MECHANICS AND
LAHOREKS.-A Northern exchange
advises every mechanic and laborer
to buy a house nnd lot in or beyond
the suburbs of a town or city-if
possible, an acre. It says if the spot
is not inviting, it may be made so by
trees, shrubbery and cultivation.
Tho paper from which we quote says:
"Secure tho land, and your credit
will at once be raised fifty per cent.
A mechanic living on rent throws
away all the improvements he may
make. He accumulates little or nu
capital around him. On the other
hand, when he has a home he can
call his own, everything he does
counts something. All bis labors
cluster. Ho has a home of his own.
and t is his pride and pleasure tn
adorn it to the best of his ability.*'
SI N STROKE.-The New York Ca
telle, of Saturday, records several
cases of sun stroke of recent occur?
rence in that city. That journal
wisely aunonncos as the best pre>
veutive "not to stay in the .-un;'* bul
when this cannot be followed, ar
excellent precaution is to place som<
green leaves or grass in thc crown ol
tho hat. The most essential precnu
tion, however, is to let icc watt i
alone. Drinking this while exposci
to the sun is bidding for an attack o
sun stroke, and any disnrrungcuien
of tho digestive organs, as well as tin
loss of appetite, makes tho rial
greater.
YOUNG Luniks ARRESTED IN FI.?MU
OA.-Tho Bainbridge Argus learn
from Hie Mariana Courier that om
Capt. Hamilton, of the Freedmen'
Bureau, ordered the arrest of two o
three young ladies of that placo, upoi
the charge of desecrating the grave
of Union soldiers. Considerable ex
citcinent was created by the proceed
ing. The ladies, with their friends
made their appearance Indore th
Captain, ami an investigation wa
hail, in which no reliable evidenc
was introduced lo support the charge
and the young ladies were inline
diately released from arrest.

morning, by tho municipal authori?
ties. Mr. Radcliffe, Chief of Police,
nuder direction of the City Council,
proceeded to the disputed point ot

weeks for the North, to solicit aid to
complete the purchase. They have,
by perseverance and economy and a
little help from the citi/.ene, raised
this .sum o? 8500, and feel grateful
for the help extended io them; but.
before appealing to strangers, they
will make another effort to raise t.
small amount from thosoamong whom

Holland Mitchell, Jerry William-..
Henry Taylor and Henry Williams,
will call upon the citizens. We feel
that their appeal should not be ::
