A Gloomy Christmas.
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. "Dame Nature" it seemed to us,

I'. iiiivu uci unuuat aivin lur OUCU iy scu ? UHl a
ood of disappoint incut she could pour up <wi
liorsc-raccfi, cock fights nud Arc-crackers. 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 tliolittle boys and gills, however, it
was Christmas, anyhow.' Wlrnt cared they
e ' for ttie rain! Tliey enjoyed tlio candy, if
they didn't the day, and the best of all was it
was no harm to eat it, Aad although wo are
? . ?ot in tbo habit of w ritidg poetry, yet we will

An examination of the "Indian 11 iII Female

fvC; Ciiai'in, came off 011 Friday twentyfirst
ult. Commencing at 0 o'clock, a. in.,
the greater part of the day was occupied in

fur an exhibition. Here all were delighted,
either charmed by the music which flowed
so easily and gracefully, or by the dialogues
atul speeches occasionally introduced.
Tho majority of the young ladies had
prepared compositions which were rend in a
distinct and, audible tone. Tho. subjects
were tastily selected' and well handled.11 It
is difficult to make any distinction in the

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

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
