respondent writes from Mississippi:
"In your last Register I saw the ex?
pression, 'Gross Purposes, a Xmas
Story.' I am totally ignorant in regard
to the expression 'Xmas;' please en?
lighten me as to whence it is derived, aud
why used."
The letter X, being the initial of the
title of the Redeemer, in Greek, has iu
all ages since the Christiau era, heeu used
as an abbreviation of the sacred name.
As thus used, it is not the Latin ".r,"
bat the Greek chi. corresponding with
the hard soaud "C?" iu "Christ."
The discoverer of America was wont
to ase for his signature the abbreviation
"X P O Ferens"-not "x" aud "p," but
the Greek chi and rho-that is, Christofe?
rena, the equivalent of Christophorus;
and it may be remarked that the "x" in
thc old Spanish orthography, where "i"
has sinoe been substituted, (as Xalapa,
Oaxaca; now Jalapa, Oajaca,) st and H for
the Oreek letter, and not for tho Latin
character of corresponding form.
In the old times, wheo paper wau a
rare commodity, aud writiug a rare ac?
complishment aud a laborious task, the
ase of abbreviations was habitual. Thus
originated the use of "ye" for (he, "ym"
for them; and Xtian and Xmas were then
as common ns Mr. and tte. are now.
Wo aro reminded, by the subject of
this explanation, of tho origin of thc
fish as a sacred symbol, its name iu
Greek, IcJtihys, beiug composed of tho
initials of the phrase lesas Christus
Theou Yios Sotcr-Jesus Christ, God's
Son the Saviour.-Mobile Register.
"LOVE THE UNION."-The most, serious
charge brought against the Southern peo?
ple by their Northern enemies is that
they are "hostile to the Union." For
argument's sake, graut it-who makes
them so? No people ever yet gavo such
evidence of their williuguess to go into
the Union and become peaceable mem?
bers of it-they have oveu humiliated
themselves and surrendered every prin?
ciple held dear by them in order to get
there-why is it that they aro uot there
and living iu peace with tho States of
the North? Any houest man can see the
reason plain ono agu. The men who are
continually abusing us for "disloyalty to
the Union," do nothing but strive to
make that Union odious to us. The very
moment everything gets quiet aud peace?
able, and a spirit of fratcruity appears,
these marplots get up some new villainy
to irritate and inflamo our people toward
tho Government, and what is more, for the
express purpose of making us hate them
and keeping the Union in u state of dis?
ruption. ?Should the poor Southern
worms turn when thus trodden upou, we
hear a fresh cry of "disloyalty" and
"hostility to the Union." This is hy?
pocrisy and cowardice combined. The
only enemies of the Union in this coun?
try are to be found iu tho rauks of the
radical party.-Savannah Republican.
TRAGICAL, RESULT or NEU no SUPERSTI?
TION.-On Thursday last, six negro men
were committed to jail in this place,
charged with having been engaged in an
attack on the Saturday night previous on
a negro man named Frank E mb rev, who
waa shot in the arm aud side, and ut the
same time his wife shot dead, three shots
having been fired. It appears from the
evidence given in on the preliminary
trial, that Frank had become obnoxious
to a number of tho negroes io the neigh?
borhood, from a superstitious belief that
he was a sort of necromancer, and could
at will fill them with pains, lizards, ?fcc.,
that he could make a mark, and if any
woman crossed it, she would be poisoned.
A week previous to the murder they at?
tacked his house with rooks, and beat
him severely with sticks, ordering him
to leave the couutry. Ile having failed
to do HO, they returned on Saturday
night, renewed the attack, in which the
three shots were fired with the result
stated. No white man was ia any way
connected in the difficulty.
[Jacksonville (Ala.J Republican.
U. S. BRANCH MINT.-Wo aro sorry to
learn that it hos been determined by the
Federal Government to close the Mint,
und sell tho buildings, grounds, Ara, at
an early day. Located here, in the heart
of the gold region, it has doue much to
stimulate the development of the mines,
and to attract attention to this species of
property. We do not know what iuduces
this blow at North Carolina, but certain
it is, the Government at Wnshiugton has
been felt by our people lately, only
through its oppressions aud exactions.
The Treasury canuot be so empty as to
make this little curtailment, necessary.
While thousands and millions aro squan?
dered in the North and West, the South
only knows the government through her
sufferings and her wrongs.

POLITICIANS INDICTED.-The grand jury,
which during the past month has been
engaged in taking testimony in the cases
of persons oharged with having com?
mitted frauds at the elections recently
held in Brooklyu, N. Y., cnnie into court
on Saturday and returned indictments
against sixty persons for violation of the

dicted are William O. Brown, one of the
fire commissioners, Justices Walsh and

! mob was led by an ex-Imperialist officer.
I Many of the congregation were severely
i injured; some, it is supposed, will die
j from injuries received. The mob tried
: to burn the Protestants alive, using
Bibles as a funeral pile. The polico in*

rioters afterwards went to several Protea

' the inmates.
Late advices from Pettibinn, in regard
j to the Bed River rebellion, are to the
effect that Governor McDougall has uol
called on Canada for troops, but relies or
the loyal people of tho Territory to quell
tho disturbance. Tho force for this pur
pose is stated to be rnpidly increasing,
aud largo bands of Indians are also offer
ing their services. A largo meeting wai
held at Buffalo on Saturday night, anr
much indignation expressed at tho re
ported course of Governor McDougall,
iu collecting British troops on American
j soil.
JOHN BROWN.-As is well known
Queen Victoria has au atteudant unmet
John Brown, for whom tho British peo
plo havo conceived a cordial hatred
Brown strikingly resembles tho lat
Prince-Consort, aud hence Victoria'
fancy for him. Very recently, the Queel
had occasion to opeu in state thc ue^

Brown, in gorgeous army, rode iu th
royal coach beside Her Majesty. Tin
