His local pro- □dices wore not acute,nor his devotions to ocal institutions over intense. He may live laughed a little now and then at tb 'mkees; swore a little at tho darkeys aiplaineil u little ot taxes and the like t, in the main, ho was a good, healthy izen, proud of his country and ready to ; by’ her Hag, (wo are speaking, mark )u, of tho rank and file, not of the lead- g and controlling minds.) A timecamo riction. It was announced on all hxnt.» hat the nation was in peril. What did he 0? In tho lirrt placo he voted for the Inion. iiis motto was simply the Con- lition, the Uni >n f and the enforcement of he laws. A President was chosen ; not ue ol his choosing, indeed, but elected by clear majority, and he had no idea of revolution on that account. A few weeks rolled bv. The discussions of the day were full of disunion. Finally some States went out of the Union an«i set up for them- wives. Then General Scott talked About tbreeorfour confederacies, and such pa- papers as tho Now York Tribune and Cincinnati Gazotte counselled the recog nition of the Southern States. Did our hero waver? Not at all. A* late as Feb ruary, 1861, ho still voted for the Union In Tonnespoo he voted down a convention to consider the question. Secession here wesdead. Tho union was triumphant. “A few weeks of hope passed on, and conservative men thought that an accom modation might bo reachoi through the intervention of tho border Slates, and such might havo been the case, but suddenly the gum opened on Sumter, and if ‘blood wae sprinkled in the face of the South,’ a brand of lire was also lit in the heartof the North, and for a lew hours the land whs engulplied by passion. In the midst of this ‘lever and contagion of the mob,’ a proclamation wn? issued from Washing- ton—a has y, ill-advised and untimely proclamation—calling out seventy-five thousand volunteers. No doubt the Gov ernment lmd u right to do it; no doubt it had sufficient provocation to do it; but it ought never to have boon taunted inUj do ing precisely what its real enemies desir ed most ot all, and exactly what the lire on Sumter was intended to produce. This proclamation was met on the part of tho leaders of the border States in power at tho time, with defiance. Simultaneous with the rattling of drums in Cincinnati, and the waving of flags in Chicago, drums rat- tledand flags waved in Nashville. The war fever is always catching. Here everybody caught it. Tho oldost, gravest and purest inion men—some of them still in the lead, caught the fatal malady for a mo went, and a body of these, embracing sev eral now high in favor with the Kopubli- can party, joined in publishing a card, •wearing Allegiance to their ‘sister Stab* of the South,’ warning the Government e4f lsnnesiee soil, aud urging 'armed neu trality. 1 "What was deft for this plain young tK Cn i ° urs ? The old men had lost i5 lr .i l*. 1 * i L * :C Government seemed di- viaed against itself; the chiefs of parties, jrom Winfield Soott and the New York tribune to Mr. Seward himself, were ir resolute and b; fogged; the dispu'e had 2®.° to blows, seemed to be a question of f5 eUo . ft f; the tocsin of war sounded, and me girls said ‘go.’ He went.

AH his original prophesies about disunion have come true, and his early opinions and professions prevail.— lie gets used to seeing the stars and stripes once more. The music of the Union again becomes familiar to him. He cannot feel ashamed of what he has done, but he is sorry, and be has made Up his mind to live and let live,-lo labor and to try and forget. “Such, very briefly and roughly run over, is about the case of four-fifths of the soldiers of Tennessee who fought in the armies of the South, and expresses their sentiments and opinions, when unex cited by the ahuse and violence of those who talk flippantly of extermination, and would conpeao to rebels but two rights, ‘the right to be banged and the right to be damned.’ 9 “Does anybody fear another rebellion ? Is it possible that ever so much lenience to the defeated, divided and ruined ele ments of Southern politics can enable tho South to organize a second Confederacy, when the first, aided by all the undoubted •ourcos of strength with which she set out four years ago, failed so signally of success? In South Carolina everybody votes. In Mississippi everybody votes. In Alabama every body voles. Why such a discrimination in Tennessee, last to go out of the Union and first to return ? “We comp now to the negro. The Evening Post did us the honor the other cay to pay a little attention to some poor ideas of ours on the question of suffrage. It deduced from them our hostility to tho negro. This does us great injustice, and injustice to the more intelligent of tho Southorn people, who have the greatest interest In improving the condition of the blacks. Wo want them to prosper, and to bo elevated, apd when the proper time comes, if they realize tho expectations of those whom we sincerely believe to be at present their worst cnoinios instead of their best friends, there will be no diffi culty about equality before the law, or suffrage to intelligent freemen, a capable of exercising discretion in the discharge of the obligations of citizenship. We are opposod to universal suffrage in any shape, No man should vote, white or black, who cannot read and write, and has not some stake in tho land; and no man should be prevented from voting who can read and write uud who has u stake iu the land. “The South, to-day’, has greater need of tho Union (und tho pooplo of the South sOC that reed), than it ever had: it has kept back no part of the price; it uas suf fered fearfully, and has paid three fold the penalties of error: there was much iliU Ul ul i 91 , mcio wrong done on both sides; it was manl festly impossible for any (air minded man to endorse tho entire acts of either; the war is now over; tho resources of the country need development; the people need rest from agitation; right minded men everywhere are ready to unite, to combine uhd to labor; and all that is re quired to set us up aguin, is a total erasure of everything like crimination and re crimination, and a Christian resolve to let bygones be bygones, and to live for the present and tho future. “Tho winter will soon bo here. Christ mas and New Yeur’s are coming. Geuial firesides will lighten. Families and friends will gather around tho sparkling log, and press tho hearth and chimney corner. The winds will rattle wildly about the eaves and gables, and tho snows will fall silently and whitely upon the graves of the dead. “Gentlomen of tho North, we have as many as you to mourn over, and tho for tune of buttle bas denied us tho blessed privilege and satisfaction of tboso burial rites and honors which should be paid the heroes of every land, and cause, and people. Did we choose, we could tell us many tales as you. Perhaps we could turn our holiday merrymnkings into something unlike a festival. Wo fought you long; you admit that wo fought you bravoly, and your victory is very great, We are satisfied. If you will join with us in one common and honest effort, wo will set to work cheerfully to restore the past, to pay oft' old debts, and to put at defiance the rest of the world ; so that wo may eat our Christmas turkey in peace, and sing our New Year’s song with heartiness and cheer. “You must not ask us to be ponitont, or to crawl upon our bellies. That is not the spirit of freedom, and seldom means sin cerity. We are honest, and wo mean what we say in good faith. You will havo both to trust ana respect us in any event involving combined acliou, because upon no other foundation can any oeace or security be given to Republican institu tions and popular forms. Remember the words of one of your own greatest and purest of poots: “ ‘Yen eamrot chain the eagle, Aud you dare net burin he dove; But every gate you bar to hate. Will open wide to love/ ” The Pebble Plano. Some twenty years ago, says Oalignai, the public was startled by an announce ment that a German musician would ex hibit a new musical instrument, consisting of a few bits of wood and a little straw ; and he actually was true to bis word, for ho playod several charming tunes by strik ing with two little hammers on a series of wood cylinders resting on small bundles of straw, which acted as insulators. At the Abbe Moigno’s lecture on Friday ]ast we witnessed a somewhat similar exhibit lion, tho instrument being a kind of pia no, the keys of which were simply large pebbles of tho most fantastic shapes, such us c 11; the shingle of tho seacoast. This curious instrument, on which the inventor. M. lLiudre, played soveral airs from the ‘ Enchanted Flute” and other operas with wondarful accuracy, is form ed of two parallel barB about five foot long resting horizontally op supports at • each end. From 'those bars*a series of stones such as wo have described al l of them from ten to twelve inqbcs in length, but the thickest not more thanuUout three inches in diameter, hang freely by means of tape or packthread in a horizontal position. They constituted about two full octaves of tho upper scale; tho sound was tnetalic, like that of hells, and remarkably distinct. Tho irregular shape of each key must be considered an important element in its sound, but the delicate musical ear of the inventor is perhaps the most favorable featuro in this case, coupled with hi* ex traordinary patience in selecting the very K bbles giving the exact note ho wanted. any hundreds of them must have passed through his hands before he could consti tute a perfect octave. Different kinds of wood may bo mado to give an octavo. Many must have been struck with the sin- From the Mobile Tribune. Preparing for a Great Cotton Crop, We learn from a Baltimore paper that soma of the Northern people are ponder ing the propriety of holding a “National Cotton Convention,” for the purpoto of considering tho dangers of losing another cotton crop, and to devise ways and means to prevent so great a calamity befalling tho country. It is proposed to hurry down to these cotton States not only Northern labor, but to bring in European immigra- on to aid in the great work. The argument is, that the loss of anoth** er cotton crop would postpone the return to specie payments indefinitely; whilst on the contrary, the old crop of four m Dions of bales, pr thereabouts, would, at present prices, not only turn exchange with for eign nations in our favor, saving us the one hundred millions more or less now against us, but would—additional to that— give us from Europe a like sum, enabling the nation to return to specie payments, with the volume of pupor currency abso lutely undiminished. Unless these people move with celerity it will be loo late. The farmer ought to be getting ready to break up hie lands now. Any cotton planter that one meets in the streets of Mobile can tell tho igno rant man that cotton is a product which requires preparations all through the year. Crops have been made by late plantings when the autumn end of the year was fa vorable for tho maturation and picking of the harvest, but this certainty cannot be depended on. Tiie agriculturist must pilch his crop without regard to this occa sional fact. But this information is superfluous here. One doe3 not take on himself to “teach his grandmother how to suck eggs.” The Northern papers are doing this, and, we suppose, for the enlightenment of the members of the Convention above allu ded to. We rofor to tho matter for another rea son. There are probably to-day two mil lions of colored laborers within the cotton producing region, who are admirably fit ted for muking next yoar the great crop which is desirod lor tho purpose of help ing the nation to return to “specio pay ments.” When tboso convention cotton making men propose to send hither white labor ers, do they not tacitly confoss that tho African skilled labor is not available for tho benign and honest purpose for which their proposition is mado? Why, of course, they do. No conclusion is more logical. We tell these convention people that tho skilled negro can make cotton better than tho unskilled white men—that a skilled negro on our lowlunds will be bel ter than an unskilled white man. The African can muko cotton, and tho only trouble is ns to how he shall be mado to make it. Let 1 ho wiso convention men put their heads together, and by the ag gregation of their wisdom, solve this pro blem. IfXboy will do it soon, wq may noxt year, the reason being propitious, havo three million bales to help the Govern ment to return to specie payments—mak ing tho multitudinous son of greenbacks as yellow ns a sunflower, or a gold dollar —with the latter of which wo havo had a very limited acquaintance for now going on six years. It seems to be an age since we saw that littlo bit of respeclablo. IRRIVIL OF HEW GOODS No. 125 Broad Street. W. W. Fi.iwili.ix. G.1 THOMAS & CO.

Lounging along forward about seven in the forenoon watch, I drifted in earshot of two forecastle blockadors, just as one of them put forth a feeler in this wiso: I say, Bob, did ye over too sich a fog as this ’ore afore? Ay, fty, boy ! I have that; I have that. I’ vo seen fogs down along the Sable Banks, and about Cnfiso, that this'ere stuff would not be inoro’ri a bit of mist alongside of. How thick was it, Bob? Wall, once when I was in the old ‘Rifle men,’ und wo were going out to Quebec after deals, wo ran into a fog bank one day that carried iff' our jib boom, and stove in our port bulwarks. There whs lots of gulls and other big birds stuck fust all among tho fog, jest like Bhcep in a big snow drift; not a bird of them could move a wing. We’d been on allowance of wator two weeks, and the curpentor sawed chunks enough out of that 'ere fog to fill every cask in tho ship. It was tip top water that fog made; but it didn’t molt very fast. Some of it wasn't melted when we got-back to Liverpool, three months afterwards! Liquors in Cases. 500 Cases Choice Whiskey and Brandy, 100 Baskets Champagne, all brands.
