It is not our custom to find fault of the weather, whether wet or dry, hot or cold ; but wc can 6ay that the twenty-fifth ulL V was one of the gloomiest days wc have ev- . er seen.

The destruction was awful! It rained in , the morning?it rained at noonj and?it ] ruined at night. It was what our "grandO O -dads" used to call "a soft rain," it wet quick, that's the idea. We have said that the distress was awful, and so it was; for it was , so gloomy, that eveu the darkies, "it scerir- ( ed as though," looked darker. They splashed ah oat in tlw rain, mud and water, like SO manv minks or linlf-drmvnpil <rr.r o ? lings; and- never, in all our life, liave we seen ns Cow broom*, mats and collars exhibited for sale on Christinas day. In fact, we Were not out-doors much ourselves, for, as , we have already Baid, it rained on that day "for certain," but when wo did venture out, we were not greeted with the boisterous (Laugh aud "world of fun," which Christmas i (usually inspires. The most lively of our , itown were "down in the mouth." Clerks \ <tot, in some instances, cross-legged upon the wumere, lew laciies, it any, enjoyed the r; pleaBnre of ^hopping,'' and loafers loafed with a. ^OUble loafing. 0 ! it was a sad day, incteed, to many. .Libe/J^m Gilpiu's [ Vide, itfyill long be remembered. ,J?

To Kansas Emigrant*!!?Who will go to Kama*?* Abbeville C- S. C., Jan. 1, 1866. It will bo been' from this day's issue of the Pf&ufy tlKi Major Buford, of Barbour County, Alabama, is making an earnest appeal in favor of Southernizing Kansas. Knowing lliat Major Buford is n man of high character, and tlie very mau to carry out this scheme to a successful issue. I have concluded to ioin with him in this enterprise. I, therefore, earnestly urge this matter for the jserioas consideration of the young men of'our State, and -will give all nt-cesKavy information to tbdSfrwho may feel inclined-to go with me to KnnsaP, under the gallant - Mnjor- Buford. To those who ktabVbitn, his name is a sufficient guttrntv tee of th$^ noble character of thfe enterprise, a? well as fur it* probablo success, I shall be happy to nnet vvjtb /my one at thi* ptaj^-wbo may wWi for information, with a desta to emigrate to Kanwa. WA^R^P.BELCHEU. r y'"~-^ t ^ ' To Ministers of tho Gospel, Mechanics, and those with good military or agricuturul otufits, I will offer greater inducements. Be-Videstievoting $20,000 of my own money to this enterprise, I expect all' those who know and hnve confidence in me, and who feel an interest in the cause, to contribute as much as they arc able. I will give to each contributor my obligation that for every fifty dollars ho contributed, I will, within six months thereafter, place in Kansas, one bona fide settler, able and willing to vote and fight if need be t'vr our section, or in default in doing so, that I will, on deiiifiml i\.Piiti.l fl>" * , ......... ...V uwiiilliuil Willi U1UTCSI from the day of its receipt. I will keep an Account of the obligations bo issued, and oacli successive otic shall specify one emigrant more than its immediate predecessor ?thus No. 1 shall pledge mc to take one emigrant, No. *2, two. No. y, three, &e. etc.. and if the Slate makes a contribution it shall be divided into sums of fifty dollars each and numbered accordingly. Here is your cheapest and surest chance to do Romething for Kansas? something toward holding against fivesoH horde*, this great Thermopylae of Southern institutions. In this their day , of darkness?nay, of extreme peril?there ought to be, there needjj must be, great individual.sacrifice, or tlnjj* cannot be maintained. If we i-anhot find, many who are "willing to incur great and unequal" individual loss in the common cause?if we cannot Jind some crazy enough to peril even life in the deadly lueao'i, then it is not.beeAusefiiidividuals have, grown, niqj-q prudent , and' wisej biit because publie virtue has decayed,, and thereby, to Iihvc. a!toady become unequal to the successful defense of our ifel?uC <J.
