"Mi© Nigrht la Dreary.” f If it were possible and we were permit¬ ted to do so, we. should, Rip Vanwinkle like, fall asleep and allow no wakeing, un¬ til a brighter and better day should dawn •pon the land of our birth—the one in Which we live and love, it may be, too Well, for our own good, if not for our own happiness. Rich in every element ncces •ary to ensure boundless prosperity—in¬ habited by a people, justly renowned for lotellcotuality, virtue and morality—edu¬ cated, refined, inventive and industrious, they are equal to any emergency within the range of possibility of human achieve¬ ment, it would soon recover its losses and begin a new career in its acquisition of wealth, eclipsing by far, any former pro¬ gress within the memory of man. The march of mind, too, would necessarily keep pace with all material improvement. It would be a necessary result—a conse¬ quence, not inevitable or accidental, but proceeding from causes which, guided by wisdom, would most certainly effect it. God and nature have done all that we oould ask, for the South. Her soil and climate are unsurpassed in fertility and healthfulnegs. Her streams are niviga bio at all seasons of the year, from their entrance into the seas, to the head of nav¬ igation—a point generally marked by Shoals—and these abound to their very sources, affording water power enough, to tarn nearly all the machinery in the civili¬ zed world—her Rail Jt oac | s arc numerous, -are multiplying rapidly and will bo limit¬ ed only, by the necessities of trade and the eonvenience of her people, her mines of iron, coal, copper, lead, gold, silver &c., are not even dreamed of, in all their ex¬ tent, and her productions embrace nearly everything in the shape of vegetation, from the meet valuable timber to tbc most in¬ significant plant, useful to wan or boast, which can bo found North of the Equator. It is thus seen at a glance, that the hand of industry and skill arc alone needed, to convert the entire country into an earthly paradise—an elysium, in which men would like to dwell, with immortal nature forev er.‘ But “the night is dreary.” Industry and skill alono and unaided can accomM plish but little. They may exhaust them¬ selves again and again in their efforts, but unless sustained and encouraged by a fru¬ gal and wise Government, they will never “reach the Mountain top” or attain more than partial success. Tho war is over by tho terms of surrender. For more than four years, wo havo entertained, now and then, some hope, that ice should have peace. But peace, it would still seem, is ■“afar off.” Resistance is vain—submis¬ sion is fruitless—no act of ours, overpower¬ ed as wo are, can secure the coveted boon. Wo want peace, wc need peace, we pray for peace, wo havo had the promiso of iof peace, but we have no substantial peace, peaco that inapires tho Southern heart •with hope and encourages Southern tnen 'to labor and toil for the rewards and bles¬ sings which well directed labor is sure to bring. Oh 1 for peace—peace—peace— peace that is not degrading but elevating; •that brings with it, tho glorious privilege of “rewarding every man according to his deserts”—of correcting evils in private as well as publio life—a peace that restores order, law and justice through civil tribu¬ nals and confines the Bayonet to its legiti¬ mate work—its proper sphere. But “the Night is dreary.” No run light appears to dispel its darkness. The storm still rage, in all its fury. The North and West, from whenco the first rays of sunlight must come, still «sn<ithcir thunders down upon us. They bid us give up slavery in 1865 and we did it, Kk§ men. Away went four thousand millions of property 1 They bid us give up our ootton bags that wc had subscrib¬ ed to the Confederate Government, “so ealled” and wo thought that we dul that, but found afterwards, that we committed a slight mistake. They bid us hire our former slaves for the remainder of the year 1865, and we did that, but lost near¬ ly all of our hogs aud poultry and not a few of our cattle and sheep, to say noth¬ ing of the ten thousand ether losses, rob¬ beries and grievances, and the many “cus¬ sing words” that wc thought of, if wc didn’t say them. Siucc 1865, they have continued to “pile on the agony.” Oar purest and best men, through tho instru¬ mentality of Test Oaths are excluded from all Offices and strangers, unknown to us and uninvited by ns—our avowed and •pen enemies, affiliating with our # former slaves, uneducated and credulous, come $owb from the North and West, to fill our Offices and for the sake of pence we have } born that. And as if that were not enough to arouse the very worst passions of our nature—borne in meekness though it was, they have continually traduced and slandered us, that they themselves might be kept in power at our expense— yes, at our expense —at salaries and per diems and “et cets” unprecedented in our history and at a time too, when our people were a unit in their efforts to be received again into the Union, under the Constitu lion as it was in 1861, with Slavery forev¬ er abolished. They bid us give these old. slaves the right to suffrage and we have done that. They now bid us, to give them the right to hold office and every other right, social and political, and we may be forced to do that. It is “the last feather on the camel’s back that breaks it.” This may be the last exaction. In God’s name, it is enough. No darker eloud can gather around and above, this ill-fated people. No weightier curse could befall them. It is death to white and black. Let us alone! and we will protect and encourage the African race and give them light and knowledge to the extent of their capacity. We will make them happy—the bonds of friend¬ ship shall be strong and enduring, between them and us. • We koow them best and they understand ns. We know and they know that they have no capacity to gov¬ ern us. These strangers—carpet baggers, know it too and take advantage of it. The leading minds at the North and West are not ignorant of this indisputable fact.— But oh! the hate to rebels !—“the love of the flesh pots of Egypt!” “The Night is dreary.” Deep gloom surrounds us on every side. This is “a goodly land” but it is badly governed. It ever will be under the existing circum¬ stances. Prosperity and good Govern¬ ment are Siamese twins—they arc insep¬ arable. Adversity and bad government arc twin brothers—they too, are insepa¬ rable. We say it more “in sorrow than in anger,”- that this present Government is sadly deficient in most of the elements of a good Government. Power is good in itself, but it must be wisely used to make it a blessing to those who arc under its influence. It has power, in numbers ; In its soldiery; in its resources of men and money; in intellect among the masses, but it uses its immense power, to pull down the weak and to build up the strong—to tax the laborer and to foster the capitalist, by exempting -liis bonds anil gold from taxation. It has intellect at its command, but that, if virtuous and patriotic, is not only contemned but studiously and sys¬ tematically ignored. We lament these things for our country—for our whole country—-for North, South, East and est. Bitter fruits will be produced by them. A general fate will overtake us all, olie of these days. Tho South will not always drink alone “the wormwood and the gaul.” She may get an overdose, as she is the first to take the bitter cup, but she will not always drink it alone. It is being prepared for the whole country. “The night is indeed dreary,” and as yet, no morning light appears. We fear that the tl att it icell,” will Dot be again sound¬ ed by “the Sentinels on the watch tower •of Liberty,” for many long years to come, if ever. 01 VIS. For the Journal. Rot Very Funny J Sinco the late demise of the okl Board of Commissioners, and the failure to fill, by election, their plaocs with such as would aoeepfc, a growing disposition is manifested by certain “funny fellows,” from tire country, to disregard the laws of the place, very much to the inconvenience and discomfort of the citizens, not to say, in some instances, to the danger of their lives. Now wc have no complaint to make against those who choose “ to raise their spirits by pouring spirits down,” if they will sec to it, that they disturb no one, in any way, while under its influence. Peace is necessary to the well-being of society and law and order, must be obeyed and preserved. We more "than half suspect, that our present evils aro not without remedy. There is lava enough in the land to meet all disorders, if enforced. Tho hiatus in the exercise of municipal authority, is only temporary, unless the disposition manifested by a fow, to cause disturbances, most ujiuccessarily, is re strained the parties themselves. We must have good order, if we would pre¬ serve our reputation or advance our inter¬ ests or rightfully train up our children. Wc ask nothing .more than what justly belongs4o us, who live in the Town. Wc would deprive no one of his just rights, kuowingly, whether he live in town or country, nor are we willing to submit to lawlessness from any quarters so long as we can help ourselves. This we can do and may do, should wc be forced to do it. Wc would greatly prefer peace and quiet as a spontaneous offering to good order and to the principles of justice. But should we be forced to resort to strong mea surcs, wc are bold to say, more in warning than as a threat, that there is vitality and energy enough left no, .Hhongh we have no Board of CommuMooers at this tune, to take care of ourselves. If the law is not strong enough to secure a Board of Commissioners, by election, it may be so changed as to secure ono by appointmeul, and one which shall bo held to strict accountability ,... a in the discharge of its du¬ ties. Whatever tho cost, order and quiet must bo preserved. It only requiro of 3 con cert action to effect it. No community ought to prosper, who has not nerve enough to take eare of itself and to protect its just, legal own and moral rights. If we are not to have order, as a voluntary offering on the part of all, wc cate not how much disorder and lawlessness is daily witnessed. It will only show, «that the end draweth nigh.” VERBUM SAT. Tho following communication was re ceived too late for publication last week, on account of others coming in previous to it. ,<« For the Hancock Journal. Last evening at the witching hour of midnight, whilst strolling beneath the magnificent shades of that most charming street, and retreat of our little city of Gre¬ cian name—“the abode of beauty, the Gra¬ ces and Music,” we were suddenly spell¬ bound and entranced which naturally and irresistably halted us upon our homeward way. A calm rested upon the face of the earth—all nature was hushed and silenced into repose exeept now and then the occa sional rattle of a frisky little leaf paying respect to a passing zephar, ever and anon, the twitter of a birdling, and occasionally the gentle noise of the ashes falling from our cigar—thus happily the spell oame o’er us like a dream. The sable mantle of night was caught and “pinned with a star,” the moon beams were dancing in and out from among the shadows, and the fragrance of the sweetest flowers, dipped in the fallen dews of evening, w&s borne to us not by the “breezes from the treeses” (though wo havo heretofore been par¬ tially regalled by these very same “bree¬ zes”) but by the soft zephars from the magnificent gardens on either hand where tairy queens sport and where at such an hour the laughing Hamadriades sometimes Mine to join the enhancing festival and lend mirth k sweetness. What father was calculated to take our thoughts from this bright world to yon beautiful and richly gilded Heaven ? Surely nothing to aid the flight and indulge a still deep¬ er and sweeter reverie—surely nothing, though wc ever wish for something more glorious. Entranced we listened, spell¬ bound we lingered ’til the last note floated away upon the summer air—for indeed, the Amateurs—“the faithful disciples of tho Musical Goddess” were again abroad last evening. The entire Suite upon the occasion was even more imposing than for¬ merly—the Amateurs themselves anayod in the most elegant of evening costume tiped with white beavers—the long line of valets in handsome livery keeping silent time to the iront step, and the music, oh ! Bow thine ear O Goddesses- and tell me was there ever such ? Once again, what of the night ? The spell came o’jr and held us neat the massive gates opening to the Palatial residence of Lord the fitful rays of the moonbeams through the dark foliage of evergreen k cedar wc took in the picture worthy of a Raphael or a Glenn. The music was really good, yes, we will say Divine, for “there’s no place like Home,” but upon this occasion wc were sure “tune after tune was not played” nor “song after «ong sung”—the instru¬ mental piece, however, was captivating, the song, emanating from a handsome war b’cf, was most thrill : ng and we dare say the impression favorable and lasting. To the Amateurs themselves, the interlude perhaps was better and more satisfactory, birt ere the performances fairly re cora tuenced, there dashed upon the scene a-a a huge dog extremely frightful to behold (so thought somebody else,) and then for the life of us the scampering prelude was grand, eloquent, sublime and never before listened wc to such fast music, the per¬ formers keeping time to the quickest quick-step ending with an echo of dogs barking, eats mewing, cattle lowing, hor¬ ses neighing, chickens crowing, frogs croaking and no doubt, fair maidens laugh¬ ing to the distant tramp of retreating foot¬ steps. The spell was broken, the charm dis. pellcd and wc resumed our walk thinking after all what a jolly time wc had. Hur¬ rah for the sereuaders ! Three cheers for the Amateurs ! But let not the scare last long my boys, and in the language of “Isa dore’’ we will exclaim “Try, try again.”— Courage is the watch-word. SPECTATOR. ---- ♦- Burglarios are getting common -in Ma¬ con.
