They are the only Hegnocs on the faco of the globe who enjoy the advantages of sovereignty as citizens of a free government of the people. Elsewhere, there hare 1 ? ' Vivwn Rrvr.iiKlir-a Ktlf D^611 & iUtt IIISWIIIVCO VI v A%V|/wvitwj wmv they have all failed ancT passed under the dominion of an absolute and tyuanuical despotism. They have failed bceause the people were incapable of. that modferation and self-restraint upon which all free government must rest. A free government is a government of the people, through laws and rulers of their own choosing. In the freest government, the laws act as a restraint on every individual, so far as may be necessary to prevent one citizen from doing wrong to another. If such wrong be done, the lawpunish 8 the wrong-dber. If any person undertake to avenge himself for a wrong done, he becomes a- public offender?does a wrong to the State, and lays himself liable to more severe punishment than he who only wrongs an individual, because his crime strikes at the very life of the State. If every man were allowed to right himself his own way, there*would be an end of all law and all liberty. Society would be resolved, into its original elements and man would'become a savage. The strongest' man would' then rule in the majesty of his strength, by violence and' blood. Therefore, the negro mob, which*, on anv provocation, undertakes to set the laws aside and' avenge its own wrongs, real or fancied, prove to the world their own unfitness for self-government or * .1 i n Citizenship, ana not orwy renacre an concerned liable to punishment by the laws of their own choosing, but disgraces their race, v and endangers the continuance of their liberty. We have said that the- negro race were on trial. They are invested with the highest * privileges of the American freeman?privileges superior to those enjoyed by the people of the most favored nations of the world; if rightly exercised. These privileges were given to them by the Northern people, partly because they did not know what else to do with them: partly because they believed in the dogma of universal suffrage; partly from a fanatical idolatry of the negro race, because they had been so lohg slaves, and so long the object of their cultivated sympathy; pajUy to punish and.disgrace the Southern - ^ Jgecpte, but chijgy-to strengthen the Radical ^ - pater and, sgcjfe ?auc^", till rar tluJJ1 nnCSnmTSoutn, shaken hands with the negro, and ratified the rights given Jiim. But let him not forget that the great 4nn?ri??*n neonle will never tolerate a peo r?r a pie who set their laws at defiance, and seek to drag them down to a condition of beastly anarchy, paralleled only in the wilds of Dahomey or the degraded, corrupt and abominable communities of San Domingo, the half way bouse to Dahomey. They were given tf e suffrage and the privileges because of sentiment and a supposed expediency.? "When they violate- every sentiment of decency, and demonstrate- be inefficiency of continuing the trust reposed, it will be tak*m eeway by the same power that gave it to them. But there is still another view which we would impress upon these misguided people. TW lav themselves onen to .the attacks of the whites, with every advantage against them, when they resist the law as they did on the 4th. If one hundred' of the rioters bad been killed on that occasion, not one person would have been punished for it, because they would have acted in defence of the law, and to maintain order. All who were present aiding and abetting those proceedings were committing a high crime against the government, of which Governor Scott is the head, and arc liable to punishment therefor. The leaders, those who were the most violent, and those who, knowing better, instigated the violence and distributed ammunition at the very time when the excitement was greatest, will rccoive their just punishment. They merit and should receive not only the severest penalties of the law, but the detestation of every colored man, because knowing, as they did, that nothing but ruin to the true interests of the race could result from such a course, thoy not only did not restrain, but incited them to their mod resistance of the law. For tho long suffering friends, whose privilege of descent from Caucasian ancestry has long been made a most heinous crime in the eyes of their rulers, we have but words of commendation and congratulation. Their blood was never put to a stronger test than on this occasion. The few who, with dauntless front, withstood the brutal mob thirsting for blood, and calmly put aside the bristling bayonets which were thrust at the majesty of the law through their persons?bayonets bought by their hard-earned money, wrung from them by taxation to support the government who armed the savage crew? who, armed only in the panoply of race, intelligence, courage and right, protected the property, lives and honor of our people, have added lustre to the pea lass fame of our noble people, and are entitled to the grateful plaudits of the country. No heroes in the heat of battle endured more or accomplished better results " He that ruleth his own mirit is greater than he who taketh a city." *vt?vfxiLr'-S" ~r- a1"'1-1"" reflect. ? what might have happened had this Spartan, band been crushed.

If they have nature in them let them prepare so- thoroughly as to insure the safety of their homos and their al^tars; at all times and under all circumstances. There ia no safety but in their own brave hearts and strong arms. The spirit oY the mob is here as elsewhere;- Whenever it is aroused> the battle cry is " deatfi to the white wnwi'."

A strong believer in woman's influence once asserted1 that woman was the cause of everything that was happened in the world from the fall until that time. A bystander disputed the proposition, and offered a wager that he could' give an incident taken at random, which woman did riot- influence. He stated that a young man was carrying mortar up a ladder to a brick mason a few days before the date of their interview, fell through the rounds of the ladder, which resulted in his instant death. The wager was promptly accepted and won by the first speaker; for a careful investigation of the circumstances of the case proved that the young man fell through the rounds of the ladder by a misstep caused by looking at a beautiful woman who was then passing the building. While I would not be either so extravagant or unjust, as to ascribe to woman, or charge her with all that has ever happened yet I am free to assert that woman's influIn all the relations which she sustains to society, as lover, wife, mother, sister and friend, her influence has no equal in the opposite sex. Whether or not'man has more brain power than woman, is a motecl question; but it is universally acknowledged that in the heart-power, woman has the ascendancy. It is also acknowledged, that the heart is the dyanomometer of human influence. A man of comparatively weak intellect, bat of strong heart will most likely succeed in all practicable undertakings: while o~ne of comparatively strong intellect, but of weak heart will likely fail in all difficult enterprises. For this reason, Caesar said, "an army Of sheep with a lion (or stout-hearted captain) at their head would prove more formidable than an army of lionB with a sheep (or weak-hearted' captain) at their head. Yes, ladies, your influence is great, is indisputable. Influence and responsibility arc inseparable, and you may well ask yourselves the question, "how far we aro responsible for the amount of inebriation in the circle in which we move?" Have you withheld your approving influence ? Or have you oncouraged the evilby palliating it by the manner of your conversation?by presenting the tempting cup wreathed by your fascinating example at your social parties? Humanity, from its loftiest heights, and from its lowest depths, calls upon you to come to our help. Indeed, self-pres orvation demands it at your hands; for though poor man suffers much from the accursod bowl, woman suffers moro. The wine cup converts him into an evil spirit to torment, degrade, and send you heart-broken to the grave. A drunken husband, or son, or brother, is among the severest calamities that can befall you on earth. Bacchus robs you of your queenly throne in the hearts of men, and degrades you to become their helpless slaves. This should not be, and it will not be, if you give us your timely and hearty co-operation. Comxjilito. foe the journal. A PLACE OF DEACTY. Mr. Editor : Ifthe charge so often made against our countrymen of caring only for the useful and ignoring the beautiful in connection therewith?utile dtdci?can bo justly sustained, then surely on no other people can so weighty a reproach bo laid. For nowhere else has damo nature smiled more "beneficently and invited more pleasingly to an improvement and adornment of her charms than on this highly favored continent. Each spot attractive in itself, can be made doubly so by very Kttle effort and taste. The little smiling flowers with their gorgeous tints, the evergreen shrubbery, the exuberant foliage and stately trees, only await our bidding to gather cheerily around us, and convert the most uninviting spot into a pleasing landscape. i ** T - 'A*' . -Aniwhile olibfthiB charms the beho Jer, it doe? mose ih> rewarding the induati ions artist who ha*created -the picture:.

But we seem to enjoy most that whiaX we Have- ourselves created?a feeling thfi"lfecomcs a healthy incentive to virtuou^oxertion in imitating the beauties of naturt. We arc lost in wonder at the grandeurof "thd mighty cataract, while we applaud and'ad* mire the taste and skill of him who produ -? l ^ r-Ttm 1 oea its mmature copy at nisown aoor. ine stately trees of the forest impress us deeply as we pass beneath their ponderous hgpghs and behold their massive strength?victors in many a contest with storms and tohiadp, but their lessor representatives tastefully grouped and artistically trimmed delight us Niot the less, as we gaze upon them in tinging admiration around the decorated homestead. To the happy occupant of so favored a hoqie there rises the exultant feeling of hiring coped successfully with nature's fairest beauties, and induced them, according to' his fancy, to minister to bis-own and othcrs^^elight. . |;V * Such reflections have been evoked b^\another of those delightful visits, sd often s#de to the attractive grounds of bur venerable and esteemed citizen, Mr. Wm. E. Johnson. Responding cordially to his hospitably invitation to enter and ride at will thrtngh the many road paths he bas constructc^for the convenience of visitors, pedestrian, trian ?>r charioteer, it would consort ^ly. with the gratification we experienced, mqrtly to say that we were pleased with on^ritjje. From our first point of entrance, along'the many mazy paths we foUowod^ha&Bypttk hUutlr ? view an ever varriSg fndnSfc-k ilfully _.diBpO&M>grouflp of shaped and moulded as to exhibit clearTp'to our mind, the master-spiri t of a native artist; here, an even-edged row, faultless in its lining; there, a well-shaped cedar or fir; then, exquisitely cut arches, entioing us under their shady bowers, and through, to riehqr landscape beyond ; returning to water terrors that reflect and re produce, for our admiration the more salient points of observation, we behold little islets of green, that laughed at our steed's inability to' reach their beautiful turf, however inviting theymay appear. Lingering here,, and guided onward and around a serpentine fence of snowy complexion and graceful proportion, ever and anon modestly retiring beneath a covering of luxuriant vines, we slowly wended our way outward, lest the charm should too soon be broken, though it could not easily be forgotten. Our ride accomplished, and reflection again ancceeded observation. How much indebted, wc thought, is Camden and vicinity to the fine taste, ingenuity and liberality of the proprietor of this attractive place ; how often it has excited the praise of the passing stranger?what a perennial spring of enjoyment to the residents of the town, and what a beautiful monument it will be to to the memory of tho architect. But one sad sentiment disturbed our otherwise pleasant cogitation, and it was this: that however much has been accomplished, the entire consummation of what was originally devised and nearly executed had been defeated. The charming fountain, for instance, so much missed in front, would not have been absent but for the cruel circumstance of .the war which has frustrated so many other cherished purposes. Moro than this, as we have authentic information, but a few months difference of time in the advent of the circumstance just referred to, aQd many of the residences of Kirkwoed and Camden would have enjoyed the convenienc6 and comfort of a supplymf water from a never-failing spring on the premises just visited, an advantage that would have received full appreciation at this time. Let us hope for continued life and in ? a , creased prosperity 01 one bo prone w uouc liberal things. Mny his happy conceptions yet be fulfilled, and his success in beautifying and utilizing prove an incentive to many others. Long be the period of one so richly deserving of the enjoyment of his otwm am diffnitatf. ' M. The Growing Cotton and Gn tin Crop. New Orleans, July 1.?The Cotton Exchange Committee on Statistics and Information, made a report upon the growing cotton and grain crop, with dates from the 15th to 25th of June. The following is a summary: Mississippi?Cotton, reduction of acreage 20 to 25 per cent., with average ^of J to f the yield of last year per acre.? Corn, acreage increased 25 to 40 per cent.

The Imperialists are slim iu numbers, .hardly nuiking any show at all, Tho Beds are too few to stand. Whether France . can be governed by a republican form of government remains to be seen. Certainly in no trial yet made has it appeared that Republicanism was at all the rule that suited the French people. The present Republican Government is presented under more favorablo auspices, and is indeed bolstered by stronger supports than any that preceded it. At the head of tho Administration stands Thiers, a man of more experience than any statesman in Europe, and possessed of a powerful intellect, good judgment and courage. He comcs'.out of the double war with tho confidence of the people, and is favored now by that confidence and a state of ^profound peace in maturing the system of Government detefmin' Ian r,Antinnltr flinun am UU upuu tilUO mi?

A Mr. Payne, who is at present imChina as agent of several individual planters, has engaged i 1,000 laborers in that country, and expects to reach Louisiana with them in time for the planting of the next crop. They have all been selected from the agricultural districts of China, and they have agreed to work for eight or ten years for $8 a month in gold. The Chinese at present in Louisiana live in perfect harmony with the negroes. They arc nearly all unmarried young men, and are neat and excellent workman. They also appear to be perfectly contented. They are paid $13 a month in currency. Their cabins are kept with great core and cleanliness. 'No doubt Louisiana will soon have a large Umnese population V - ??????
