TUl'K.-.DA Y, J ANT'AKY 13, 1SSI. ~tum YouxtJLKfiiiLOOi). Col. Met'lure, the able editor of the Philadelphia Times, utters a truth, which must impress itself upon every relied ing mind, when he says that "a new generation that had no par ticipation in the terrible coullict has come up and III led half the places of those who witnessed the most san guinary struggle of modern history, and those who yet survive must soon, ntj^the latent, give place to the younger blood that is pressing in their footsteps." Twenty years have1 passed since the breaking out of the war, and those who stood around the camp lires and in the line of battle oh either side, who have not already passed away, are growing old, and will soon be placed under the sod with their noble ?Colnrades whose deeds of daring ami unselfish devo tion to what they believed to be right should ever be cherished as the proud heritage of Americans. The poor soldiers who bore the brunt of Wie battle knew little of the sel fish motives and ambitious schemes of thoughtless leaders, but possessed noble souls. This nobility is infus od into the young blood of their off spring. They ask not that the ris ing geneiatioti should brood over their wrongs. The universal desire, at least, so*far as tho^South isjjcon cerned, is, that the past should be buried. Untier the inspiration of such siient teachings a young, liber al atld^progressivc general ion is fast taking the place of the old. Parti sans and fogies of the Cameron and Toontbs stripe are pushed to the rear. .Men w ho think for themselves ami who will not consent to be the blill 1 tools of arrogant leaflet's who are held up as the oracles of society, will i shape lite future destiny <f thi 0 -tint rv. A ( A I S . OF OUU POL1MCAL DIS ORDERS. Insincerity and dishonesty of ex pression is tlie most fruitful source of disorder in any eountiy. Public opinion is ion !.- up of individual op i in i i , u id. if the latter is false, the former will be so loo. And llii- false public opinion causes most of the troubles of Nations. Most public troubles of Nations. M?sl public leading public < pinion they follow it. Titey do not consider what is best for thircountry, but w hat will tickle the public ear. Popularity is ll.c aim of politicians, and they will much more readily say w hat peoplu want than by opposing their views iu many cases destroy their power. Some of our most honored leaders arc looking only to self aggrandizement, and care little for the welfare of the Kepnldie. We Itsive no doubt that some of our greatest public calami lies have come upon us, because our leaders, instead of moulding public sentiment, WvTo corruptly following it. This may have had much to do with our lute war, and the numerous ills which have followed in its train. Unfortunately this tendency is against freedom of thought and speech. Ost racism and intolerance whips; every f hing into cert a in fixed lines, beyond which, if we go, we pass outside of the charmed circle. Such is not the atmosphere in which honest vigorous I bought thrives. The safety of a country depends up on lite honestly expressed sentiments of its citizens. But forced sentiment is not apt to bo honest sentiment. Ucutove the barriers and shackles which stille the voice of a people, and the road is open to the highest order of civilization, refinement and materi al progress. mm ? mm* In a riot among the sailors on the British vessel "Sunbeam" near Beau fort, last week, ( apt. Thomas, the master of the vessel, killed two men. and is now held for t rial. The brilliant intellect and matured wisdom of (ten. Gary is missed in our State Senate. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE ! While the sanctimonious eyes of the North are turned up in holy hor ror over the frauds of the laud, let these saints never forget who first placed this dark stain upon Ameri can politics. The unerring linger of the histo rian points to the (Electoral Commis* sion as the pyramid of fraud from which the virus has permeated all through the veins of the body poli tic- until the whole is corrupt. It was here that the votes of three States were stolen, and from hence the fatal dogma issued that we can not go behind the returns. Again, the Republicans of South Carolina must not forget that it is held to be susceptible of proof that Green was elected Governor.and that Chamberlain was given his place by a false count We do not oiler these facts as a palliation for fraud any where. Fraud is a stain upon any party which practices it, and success ob tained by it can never be permanent. It is well, however, for it to be clearly seen and always understood how it first came into our politics, in order that there might be a general uprising in all parts of our land for its eradication and cure. The head of the terrible cancer first appealed at the capital of our country, and it is here that the prnniii?; knife should first be inserted. HOW TO BRING* OUT THE SOUTH. Our farmers need more of the spirit of enterprise and progress. They are doing very well, but they are ion satisfied to stand at a certain point and not go beyond it. They have made grea* advances in farm ing, and are making now more than they over did in slavery. But there is another step in the line of pro gress that they must make. We have far the advantage of the North in tin- manufacture of cotton. Wo must convert our toUoti seed into yarn on our farms by means of the ( h ineilt Attachment. An out lay of from $2000 to $0(100 dollars will accomplish it, and there are bun dreds of farmers in our County who can do it. The net profit oil a hun dred b:iI s according to Mr. Cock rill, the Vice-sidcut of the Mis sissippiilMnntcrs Association, will be $-.1.100. Ilia Well digested letter tri the Little Kock. Ark., (t'a.vtt? Mr. Cock rill, urges as t he true policy of Soul h em planters the manufacture of their own cotton product into yarns upon their own plantations, instead of sidling I he raw material to the manu facturers of Old and New Knglaud. lie estimates the cotton product at live million bales, which in its raw slate is worth $220,000,000. When spun into yarn, it is worth $450,000, 0(H). The manufacture of this largo crop at homo would make it worth to the South just as much again as it now sells for in open market. As Mr. Coekrill truthfully says: "The most important movement for the South is fcr every planter in it to turn his attention to this subject and aid the removal of the spindles to the cotton fields, and s| in the cot ton into yarn and double its value and thereby double his income." We haven soil naturally more fer tile than I he North, a better climate and heller water power. They make money on manufactures, and they have to get t he cot ton from t he South. We have the cotton at our doors. I'm t he .spindles on cur farms and WC liaveonly to bring the seed cotton from the fields to the mills on the same place. The cost of ginning too is saved. It would be better too if we would even go a step further and convert our yarn into cloth. We need the making of everything with in ourselves. As matters now stand, we are got ling nothing for what we make and pav ing through our nose to the North lor everything we wear and use. Progress in this line will make the South independent. We are glad to see that the hall is start el. Factories are going up, and the people are beginning to see that from hence collies our material prosperity, ami with material, prosperity, every thing else Will be added. - in?iiii?? m? ? ? ? ?a>e*? ? Ostcndorfi; the K\ Clerk of Courl of Charleston, although ousted by .Major Sale, says he has not given up the light. He retains Corbin and Tall, and it is said he will havt Cliamberlaiu. lie swears vcngcanci against the Democratic party, and says he w ill be on hand in the next campaign. COLORED COLONIZATION. Mr. Ruckucr of Missouriu intro duced a bill in' Congross lust week calling upon the President to open negotiations with Mexico or the Con trol American States for the pur chase and cession to the United States of a Tcritory for the voluntary colo nization of the colored population of the United States. The climate of this portion of America is very much the same as that of Africa, the home of the eoler cd-man, and it would seem that he ought to thrive in this locality. When we consider the political troubles to which we have been exposed in the past, and which threaten us in the future without some change in our population, we look with much favor upon t his scheme, and hope that the bill will be pressed. The good order and prosperity of our Southern country depends upon nothing more than upon the equali zation of our population by alternate immigration and emigration on the part of the two races. Wo don't believe iu anything com pulsory. The emigration should be entirely voluntary. This would be humane, und would be offering to the colored people what many of them say they want. We have boon cruel in our treatment of the Red man. Let the light of all advanced civilization shine more mildly upon the illguided black man. mm ? c.i - PENSIONING GRANT. Gen. Logan introduced a bill iu Congress last week, the purport of which was to put Grant on the re tired list of the army with the rank and pay of General, to be called into service whenever occasion demands. Tin bill vv.n.-, leferred to the Com mittee on the tniiitarv. It seems a little ridiculous that after C rani bus had two terms ill the White House, a period of eight years, with ? salary most or all of the time of $.")(',000 a year, thel residents salary being doubled during his term, that he should need further public support. If ho was poor after his tetmofolll c, he may l ave given up his little j it t around the world. If he did not benefit himself by this jaunt, he certainly did not benefit the American people by impressing the world with American brilliancy. Still, Southern Congressmen must keep silent, or thiy will be renewing the rebellion. Doubtless Alex. Stephens will have something to say iu favor of the bill. F.. W. M. Mackey again presses his ease in Congicss, and expects to occupy O'Connor's seat. 1 he same lightuwill be made against many oth er Southern Congressmen, and we have no doubt, with a partisan Con gress, that grounds will be claimed for tin- unseating of a number of these Southern members. This will evidently be the Republican tactics to gain entire control of National af fairs. The Senate is uncomfortably close for the Republicans, and ihe House is also to be thinned out. The Republicans tire trying to keep out oHlee IMaisted, the Demo cratic candidate for Governor of on technicalities. ??.' h ? ? ..I i i .-???? Xliomas H. Eaysor, AT TORNEY AXIt COUNSELLOR AT LAW.
