Tho Perversion or Words.
Since tho original tempter succeeded
in convincing tho first man tbat evil was
good and good was evil, it may bo safely
averred that much of the ovil which has
come upon mankind has resulted from
some great fallacy put upon their under?
standings by a perversion of language.
Words aro tho signs and symbols of
things, (iud without them the common
business of the world could not bo car?
ried on. "lu all national and political
affairs, in socalar and even religious
controversies, and iu social and every-day
life, words aro often used with poworfal
execution to the injury of mankind.
The management and manipulation of
words constitute a great art, of which
every diplomatist must be a master. Tal?
leyrand, one of the shrewdest of this
vocation, is said to have declared that
language was given to mao to conceal
his ideas, though this was but a modifi?
cation of tho remark of a great English?
man long before his time, that mon
acted as if languago wero actually given
-.?ior snob a purpose. When we remem?
ber that the most of mankind look no
further than words, and are govorned by
tho sound rather than the sense, we can
see how potent an engine of mischief
' the Abuso of words may bo made. How
many nations bavo been "worded out"
of their liberties, their peace and pros?
perity, by rattling phrases of glory,
freedom, nationolity and other mischiev?
ous slang and gibborish, chiming in with
the prevalent popular passion of tho
time. We have seen amoug ourselves
an appreciation of thc political potency
of Buch phrases as "loyal men," the
"party of moral ideas," "American inte?
rests," and the like, all covering as de?
monstrable shams and impostures as any
that can bo conceived. For it is appa?
rent that loyalty and morality arc not
confined to any ono party, and that
"Americau interests," as thus employed,
menus the interests of monopolists, and
not of the American people. Yot tho
power of such phrases over the popular
mind is not to bo denied, and tho decep?
tive words pass as current in the public
market as if they were not vilo counter?
feits, fit only to bo nailed to the coun?
ter. At the shriuo of so-called "Ameri?
can interests" nil the chief real intorests
of the country arc sacrificed, so that, in
the midst of a great war now going on,
American commerce and shipping oro
counted out as if they never had an ex?
istence, and the American navy is con?
ceded to bo uuablo, in case of need, to
defend its flag from insult and outrage.
As for "loyalty," we kuow what it has
done and is doing in North Carolina and
other Southern States; what incompe?
tent and evil men it puts into every de?
partment of their governments, degrad?
ing even tho judiciary, from the highest
to the lowest places, so that, as was once
said of a former social disorganization iu
England, meu bavo boon niado judges
"who had nothing to do with justices
but so fiir as they wero fit to bo objects
of it." Thu exclamation of Madame
Roland, "Ob, Liberty, what crimes have
been committed in thy name," might
apply to other countries besides Franco.
How often even in this enlightened re?
public, has liberty meant tho liberty of
a party to put its foot upon tho neck of
tho prostrate people aud compel them to
undergo any penalty and pay any tax
their oppressors might seo fit to imposo!
Thus it is that mon have always boen de?
luded, and it is much to be feared always
will be. Even in denominational rival?
ries th ore is sometimes employed a
creeping, whining, sanctified dialect,
like that so common among thu Round?
heads iu Cromwell's time, and which no
ono knew-better than ho how to ronder
available for worldly designs. When
Hugh Poters complained to him that tho
soldiers about Saint Albans wero becom?
ing discontented, ho directed him to
"fox thom a little moro with religion."
Iudeed at that time names played au im?
portant part, not ouly in disgusting
ideas, us, for example, where meu talked
about "sweet experiences," and "com?
fortable scriptures," who lived iu the
constant practico of fraud and secret de?
bauchery, but when sueh dosiguatious
as Tribulation, Wholosome, Fraise God
Barobones, Zoal-of-the Lord Busy, and
oven moro grotesque appollatious were
voluntarily assumed not only by honest
zealots, but by crafty adventurers, who
sought to gain favor with the saints by
these signs and pass-words of spiritual
fraternity. By such mischievous arts
and a stereotyped cant tho best interests
of human naturo aud its highest aspira?
tions aro often misled aud perverted to
the iutorcstcd purposes of tho most
sinister and selfish of their race.
In social lifo also wo seo how malign
an iufluouco may bo exerted through tho
same ?agency of words, by which good
and evil generally operate upon the
mind. It is easy for the covetous man
to deceive himself by calling his avarice
economy, aud tho spendthrift to justify
his lavishness by persuading himself that
ho is genorous. In no particular is tho
deceptive impression convoyed to the
mind more injurions than iu tho substi?
tution of tho word "honor" for revonge,
in connection with tho practice of duel?
ing. "Virtue and honor," says an able
writer, "aro such inBeparablo compan?
ions that tho heathens would admit no
man into tho tomplo of honor who did
not pass to it through tlio temple of vir?
tue."
Is it .possible to conceive of such a
thing as honor without virtue? But if
any one will oxame the records of duel?
ing, will it be found that the most prom?
inent of those who aro so sensitive about
their honor over had any virtue to speak
of? There aro drunkards, ruffians, licen?
tious men aud liars, who havo no shame
about oommittiug uny sort of immoral?
ity, yet, if called by the nome which de
Bignatss the thing, can find nothing but
blood sufficient to wipe out tho stain
upon their "honor." Even of tho really
honorable men who recognize "tho
code," it would seem to bo bettor, when
unjustly assailed, to "olear off and con?
futo a slander by their own lifo than by
another man's death'" and to adopt the
sentiment of the noble Roman who de
olarcd "ho valued not what men could
say of him, for if they spake truo, they
must needs speak honorably of him; if
otherwise, his lifo and his manners
should bo their confutation."
Thc Xcxt State Agricultural tutti Me?
chanical Fair.
"Wo hope our readers, aud the public
generally, will not allow tho next Stato
Fair to pass out of viow. Important as
is the work of political reform, not less
important is tho work of material aud
substantial development.
Wo have reason tobelicvo that tho next
Fair in Columbia will bo a grand suc?
cess-far ahead of the last one. Tho
prospects arc very promising. The effi?
cient and energetic Secretary of tho Soci
oty, writing to us, says:
"If tho letters I receive are an indica?
tion of the success of the next Fair, it
will bo a graud success indeed."
Wo learn further ?that tho build?
ing is to have its accommodations in?
creased, aud tho grounds aro to bo im?
proved. Let tho approaching Fair com
maud tho energies and excito the pride
of our people. It suggests a noble field
upon which to put forth useful and gen?
orous efforts, and to wiu great aud en?
during triumphs. All tho branches of
agricultural and mechanical industry will
receive a duo recognitiou, nor will the
iiue arts be neglected.

following communication, which is well
calculated to excite profouud interest;
SALTVILLE, VA. . August 2,1870.
EDITORS AMNODON VIROIMAN: I saw a
man to-day who gavo bis name as Edward
Parker, and represented that ho was a
lientenant iu Capt. J. W. Kelly's compa?
ny K, Colonel Greer's regiment, Fortieth
North Caroliua cavalry, iu the Confeder?
ate army; that he was captured at tho
battlo of Chickamauga ou tho 12th of
June, 1SG2; was sent to Camp Chase, and
from there to Dry Tortugas, where he
has remained until tho first day of Juuo
last.
His tale is a strange one, but I ara
forced to believe every word of it-aud so
would you if you could seo the mau
and it may be of some interest to some of
your readers. Ho says there is still
about 3,000 men on the island, who have
no moans to pay their passage aud no
way to make money euough to do so.
Among t hosestill thero whose names he re?
members are: James Grady, Thomas W.
Stineon, Wm. Stinson aud George Tay?
lor, of Washington County ; Thoma? Car?
ter and Jesse Carter, of Russell ; Johu
Black and Wm. Black, of Scott; James
Higginbotham, Thomas W. May, Jesse
T. May and Wm. A. May, of Tnzewell
County. Parker says that tho prisouers
were all released at tho elose of the war,
but they had no means of communica?
tion with their frieudfl, and they arc still
thero in a most wretched condition, their
only means of support being derived from
labor at the levees at fifty cents per
month, and by begging.
He worked over five j-curs at fifty
cents per month, and saved $30.50, with
which he paid his fare to New Orleans,
from which place ho has walked since
the 7th of June, and begged his way.
He is in a most pitiable condition, being
entirely blind io oue eye and very nearly
so in the other, caused by exposure, and
very lame and crippled up from long
walks. He is on his way to his home iu
Hopkins County. North Carolina, having
walked np tho Mississippi to the mouth
of the Ohio, up tho Ohio and through
Keutucky, several hundred miles out of
his way, owing, he says, to his ignorance
of tho country and the ignorance of those
who gave him directions. He says the
poor fellows on the island are praying
for relief from their friends, but be does
not know how that relief eau be afforded,
as ho seems to bo entirely ignorant of
thc means of communication with the
island, and only knows that vessels go
thero for coffee.
I write this, hoping that you will pub?
lish it aud that it may I o tho menus cf
communicating the whereabouts of some
of those poor wretches to their friends.
THE HEALTH OE CHARLESTON.-The
Baruwell Sentinel was lately informed by
"a geutlernan from Oraugoburg, that the
?yellow fever had made its appearance in
Charlcstou, and that uuiubersof persons
are leaving the city." But the Journal
does not believe tho report, and ashs tho
Charleston papers "tu set tho matter
right." All wo can say is, that thero is
uo yellow fever iu Charleston, there has
beeu no yellow fever iu Charleston for
several years, and, please God! there will
be no yellow fever iu Charlcstou this
year, next year, or any future year. The
health of the city is excellent, and is
equal, as the returns show, to that of the
rno.st favored eily in the United States.

Circumstances beyond our control,

regard to the city water works. So far a;
our preseut'iuformation goes, woaro dis
posed to think with Ex-Mayor McKinzie,
that the city is "pnyiDg very dear foi
the whistle." nud in our next issue, w(
shall give our views on tho subject.
Show rae a person that hears music it
the song of the cricket, or the bumming
of the bee; who sees beauty in the Iowlj
flower, the log covered with moss nm"
ivy, the jagged rock, or the pebbles be
neath the feet; ono who loves to lister
to tho wiuds, bo they ever so wild, nm
I will show you a person who can uevoi
be entirely miserable or aloue. Th<
beautiful soul-light within will reveal ir
amber tints some spots whereon th?
weary may rest, and nature's voico wil
ever whisper of joy and peace, no matte:
how fiercely the storms of life may swcoi
around.
SAWJATH THOUGHTS.-In tho benutifu
drama of Iou tho instinct of immortality
so eloquently expressed by the devotee
Greek, liuds a deep responso in ever
thoughtful soul. When about to givo U]
bis life as a sacrifice to fato, his betroth
od asked him if they would ever moo
nguiu, to which bc replied: "I bavi
asked that dreadful question of the hill
that look etcrual, of tho clear stream
that flow forever, of the stars nmoii)
whose fields of azure my raised spiri
bath walked in glory, AU were dumb
But while I gaze upou thy loving face, j
feel that there is something iu the lov<
that mantles through its beauty that cai
not wholly perish. Clcmauthe wo shul
meet again." How true, nud yet hov
awful! Tho thought of etcruity is enougl
to bewilder a reflecting mind. Let Ul
remember, gentle render, that we Uourisl
aud fade as the leaves of tho forest, nm
the flower that blooms and withers in i
day bas uot a frailer hold ou lifo thai
tho most powerful monarch that ove
shook tho world with his footsteps, nm
wo that throng tho world to-day wil
shortly disappear as footsteps on tin
shore.
