- COLUMBIA. Saturday Morning, July 4,?8jjj?. General Amaeaty. #'\ Tho long-looked-for proclamation of President Johnson, declaring a general athnesty, was issued yester * day. Ho takes the Constitution and tho declaration of Congress in 1861, as his guide. Many an unfortunate Confederate will, doubtless, feel great? ly rejoiced thcroat; and, porbaps, bo inducetl.to throw up his hat and give three cheers for President Johnson and the Fourth of July. ??<??? Oar Young Moa. Charles Lamb, towards the close of hi3 life, gave utterance to a lamen? tation, which, far from being peculiar tc himself, tells the mournful story of thousands: "Tho waters have gove over mo. But out of tho black depths, could I bo heard, I wou1 ' cry out to all thoso who have set a lout in the perilous flood. Could the youth to whom the flavor of the first wino is delicious at the opening scenes, or the entering of some newly-discovered paradise, look into my desolation aud be made to understand what a dreary thing it is when he can feel himself going down a precipice, with open eyes and will, to his destraction, and have no human power to stop it, and feel it all tho way emanating from himself, to see the goodliness emptied out of him, and yet not be able to forgot a timo when it was otherwise; bear tho piteous speotaole of his own ruin; could he see my fevered eye, fevered with last night's drinking, and fever? ishly looking to to-night's repeating of the folly; could he feel tho body of the death out of which I ory hourly to be delivered, it were enough to make him dash the spark? ling beverage to the earth, in all the pride of its mantling temptation." Among the young men of the South, dissipation has reached a point well calculated to excite alarm. Many theories have been advanced to account for this state of things. By one, it is regarded aa tho natural revulsion from tho excitement of a fivo years' war; by another, tho do siro to drown in oblivion tho disap? pointment and humiliation of defeat. Unquestionably these have had their effect. But the old saying-"an idle brain is the devil's .work-shop"-has moro to do with tho matter than we are disposed, at first sight, to imagine. As the Petersburg Express truthfully says, (in an extended article, applica? ble to nearly the entire South,) idleness and vice are linked in indis? soluble bonds. Suoh hoing tho situa? tion, any schemo looking to reform must first throttle tho monster Tiij n ess before we can anticipate any lasting triumph over tho minions of vice. We will not dishonor our brave boys by ascribing this idleness to a disinclination or positive unwilliug . ness to work. Such cannot bo the case. Tho number of young mon in this city, nt the present time, without employment, is absolutely painful and depressing. Why is it that they flock to tho cities? Their sojourn there involves a sacrifico of time, labor and morals, which this impove? rished country can ill afford to lose. While a single acre of land through? out this whole country remains un? cultivated, whilo a single plow-share remaius without a hand to guido its iron furoo, no man, with good health and a sound body, need plead his inability to find work. Thero is work enough to absorb not only all tho idle, unemployed muscle which shops at homo, but enough to engage tho stalwart energy of a million of emigrants. The disreputo which unfortunately attached itself to labor, disappeared with tho extinction of slavery. Here? tofore, under tho old rea ?me, our pcoplo acquired certain notions in regard to tho respectability of labor, which, peculiar to ourselves, wore by no means creditable to the good sense of our people. Bat tho war has changed everything. Poverty stalks abroad in tho land, and in its march leaves no household without a pain? ful witness of its presonco. Pride and poverty aro anything but conge? nial-it is impossible that they should occupy tho samo couch without pro ducing crime. The Southoru States ?aro now to be renewed and renovated ?y tho hard blows and steady knocks Hier "true and tried" sons. Honest Hpr-honest toil-must b roocogniz Has tho insignia of tho truo and tho Bolo marj. Elsewhore-save in our Southern land-it is so regarded. SL"U; necessity is now upon us. j.), i. , I. .'T'"I ..

Rufus Ludwig, who killed his wife after being married to her only eleven days, was hanged in Salisbury, N. C., on tho 2Gth of June. Ho went to tho scaffold smoking a cigar; but when tho officers offered to put tho nooso around his neck ho resisted violently, and a desperate struggle ensued, ton of tho deputies attempting to over? power him. Tho nooso wr<s finally placed around his neck, and he was swung off with a muttered curso for his parting word. Tho Old Cir?-Katara ?r?v ?he Dame* eratic Convention. Sight year? ago, the Southern firo entors, ofter having for years ruled the Northern Demooraoy with A rod of iron, went into the National-Con? vention of the party at Charleston, and subsequently at Baltimore,' with the deliberate purpose of destroying the organization, as a preliminary ? step to the contemplated work of se? cession. They succeeded oven be? yond their hopes. The men from the free. States, who had been tho toadies and lick-spittles of slavory, i were insulted and abused by the chivalry; the Convention was rent in twain; Breckinridge was nominated I by tho bolters in opposition to Doug- j las; tho defeat of the Democracy at tho polls was thus rendered certain, and tho way made clear for tho elec? tion of T.lincoln, which was to be tho ! signal for the outbreak of tho slave I holders' rebellion. Now that the war is over, these samo old fire-eaters, who have carefully preserved their lives during the four years'struggle such as the Rhetts, of South Caro? lina, for instance-again step forward and essay to run another Democratic Convention, and to dictate to the Northern Democracy, with all their former insolence and effrontery, the policy they shall pursue. The ex secession delegntes to Tammany Hall are already renewing the game of brow-beating and assumed superiori? ty practiced BO successfully nt Charles? ton and Baltimore, and threaten that, unless their sentiments are suffered to prevail, they will repeat the game of 18G0 and break up the party. This movement of the old pro slavery oligarchy has proportionately raised the hopes of tho radicals, and filled them with delight. In tho re? vival of the exploded dogmas of the South, and in the threats of thc Rhetts to appeal again to tho car? tridge-box, lies the only prospect of success for the Jacobin ticket. If I tho Democratic Convention can ouly bo induced to reject Chase, on ac? count of bia loyal record, and, at thc dictation of tho Knights of the Golden Circle and the Ku Klux Klan, to place upon their ticket soino copperhead opponent of the war, the radicals will bavo a clear track next November, as they had in I860, and will elect Grant without difficulty. It is tho prospect of this fatal action that makes Greeley, Dana, Thurlow Weed, and the rest of tho radicals, mb their hands in glee and chuckle over the predicted trouble in tho Convention of the Fourth. Wc should not be surprised to 6eo tho narrow-miuded blockheads of the Loyal League, iu their exaltation at the dictatorial insolence of the South, invito Rhett and tho whole batch of seedy ex-secession delegates to a splendid entertainment at the Union League Clnb House, and, in their gratitude, give these hungry heroes the first substantial filling out they have had in the last seven or eight years. But New York has had enough experience of the dogmatic philosophers of secessiondom, and if they seriously attempt to ride rough? shod over tho Convention and to con? trol its action, tho Empire State, with her vast commercial and finan? cial interests and her largo stako in the peace and welfare of the country, will once again prove that her people act as statesmen and not as partisans, j and, reversing her magnificent anti radical victory of last year, will give 50,000 majority for Grant.

THU KU KLUX TO BE THROWN IN THE SHADS.-We were informed, last evening, by a distinguished member of tho Republican party, and ono who is a candidate for high political preferment, that a report has attain? ed wide circulation in the up-country, that a secret political organization has been formed of members solemn? ly sworn to put to death, within a twelve-mouth, every man in tho Stato who holds office under tho new re? gime. Indeed, so far has this ob? tained credence amongst tho un? sophisticated, that many will bo deterred from fulfilling tho laudable intentions of accepting sinecure posi? tions, which our generous common? wealth has provided with lavish hand under tho present administration. Wo incline to tho opinion that the whole matter is au egregious .sell, and tho self-sacrificing partios may, with safety, pitch into tho good offices. [Charleston Courier. A colored man in Richmond, Ya., John Dnbney by name, purchased his freedom from his mistress, just before tho war, for $2,000, agreeing to pay the amount by instalments. During tho pendency of tho straggle, he paid about one-half of it in Con? federate currency, which was at last so depreciated in value that his lato mistress requested him to discontinuo tho payments until the close of the conflict. When slavery was abo? lished, tho debi was, of conrso, no louger dno; but, notwithstanding ho was advised against such a course, Dabney lately transmitted to his old mistress, now in iudigont circum? stances, SGOO in greenbacks, beiug the balance of tho $2,000 he had con? tracted to pay. A crowd of rowdies from New York, spout Sunday at Coney Island; and on their return destroyed n dum? my eugine, and after forcing the pas? sengers to leave the cars, pitched them down au embankment. Daring the rebellion, Gen. Van Dorn, of the Confederate army, was killed nt Nashville, by Dr. Peters, for an alleged insult to huswife. The affair east a gloom over the whole family of Dr. Peters, although he was justified by law. Dr. Peters be? came a strict church member, and received his wife back, bnb novur re? covered from the gloom that over? shadowed his lifo. A short time ago his son committed suicide, and a few days ago his daughter, a beautiful and accomplished young lady, arrived in St. Louis, for the purpose of tak? ing tho veil aud devoting her lifo to religions seclusion. She prefers liv? ing at a distance from the scenes of her family misfortunes, and in time will take tho irrevocable vows of a nan. -Forney's Press. No ono can withhold admiration for tho sturdy obstinacy and courage? ous defence made by Paraguay against tho overwhelming forces of Brazil. With an army of only 20,000 men, she has successfully disputed tho possession of Hu ru ?uta up to the pre? sent time, against a laud force of 50,000, and a large iron-clad navy. Liko tlie fabled Hoosier, she may not be either "big or poo ty," but in a light she's there, sho is. F ABM PnosrECTS.-Tho wheat in York is harvested, and somo already threshed. The yield is said to be poor, far below the lowest estimates given a few weeks since. Many sections of the District are experienciug a drought not yet very hurtful, however. The last general rain fell on the 7th ult., siuce which time partial showers have fallen in some sections. [Yorkville Enquirer. Napoleon is historic in his associa? tions. His sloeping apartment at Fontainebleau is that once occupied bj' his great uncle. In this bcd have slept Louis Phillippe, Charles X, Louis XVIII and Napoleon I. His study is furnished with articles used by tho first Napoleon, and ho writes at tho desk on which that Emperor signed his abdication. Just at this time the fairer portion of tho human family aro engaged in controversy about long and short dresses, each having its champions. Wo are decidedly in favor of short dresses, because we are certain that a lady who daro wear a short skirt has a handsome foot and a-plump pretty-ankle. Fanny Ellsler is now fifty-seven years old, having been born in Vienna in 1811. Sho is said to have acquir? ed a superfluousness of vulgar flesh, and limbs very unlike thoso with which she pirouetted herself into the affections and the pockets of the public.

If we aro to credit their statements, not one has been com? mitted during tho past two years out of any other motive than politics. To be a white mau, is sufficient to pro? tect anybody from all descriptions of wrong-doing. Tho blacks alone are the sufferers. This immunity, we are thus thought to enjoy from crime, is so desirable, that wo wonder, when reading Northern papers, why the entire white population does not speedily move down here, and thus escape the deplorable condition of society in their section.
