The decline of moral* among our peo
tarims fie is startling. Robbery and other
are petfdeuces that stalk about
U noonday. Religion, liberty, purity
•f heart and morals are tales of yester
^day. Nobility and virtue no longer
'places, characterize those who fill our high
but in the’r stead depravity of
^gllljiiiners and morals sit supreme.
* Duty is neglected by them. The laws
•nd institutions of our land are disre
“Warded and inoperative. Democrats,
who have trembled at the rapid strides
>towards anarchy, now are bewildered
: •ml dumbfounded. Wild Republicans
* hang aloof from the corruption which
they have been instrumental in produ
cing, while their rabid compeers, reek
a itig iu the filthiness and stench of the
a general decomposition, are busily enga
» ged in breaking And crushing the bones
And sinews of the govormnent their fore¬
fathers assisted iu organizing.
•*'<01 Our pulpits are no longer the sacred
’(throne from which the teachings of God
«re proclaimed, but they are stump
«tages from which darts and poisonous
,-shafts are hurled at the remaining fabric
of the constitution, and from which im
wiorality and infidelity in disseminated.
•'Let our ministers be more active at the
fireside, on the streets, everywhere. Lot
OJ them, B North and South, begin the good
work _ by elevating the morals of all with
_
whom they are thrown. Let them for¬
get filthy lucre, and thus teach others
’•o sacrifice personal aggrandizement for
’sectional and national prosperity. Let
them speak boldly of the now too gen¬
eral desecration of the Sabbath ; the
. ^abandonment of the worship of God, the
* ( neglect of religious and moral instruc¬
tion to children, and the mighty streams
of intemperance which flow through our
land, In speaking of preachers, we refer
wot to ministers of the gospel alone, but
to every Christian, male and female, for
each one preacheB a sermon in his or her
walk and conduct. Without a moral
influence speedily exerted, the tide ol
I, roguery, rascality, obduracy and vice
will cover the whole country, whereas,
now the washings of its waves has only
reached our Southern shores, and is felt
^by those, and has tainted those who
t!| li*ve usurped our high offices.
If we neglect our Christian duties, we
suffer our laws and institutions to sink
j fo ever. It is easy to arrest a disease
iu its inception, but. let it gain firm hold
of its victim, and no remedy is efficient.
4 Our people have still the power to seek
Divine aid, and by spreading a great,
moral influence over all who come in
their sphere of action, eventually pro¬
ducing a reaction in the hearts of the
vile men in power, who now bind the
•' hands, try to sere the conscience, pro¬
claim si aterights, protection of proper¬
ty, and liberty, to exist no longer, or if
..they exist, they assent, they rest iu the
•* Military Sub-District Commanders, who
tell us that the fragments of the great
Structure given by the heroes of ’76,
can never be guthered, nor the ruins of
thu demolished iustitutiuiisever be built
up. The hand of out oppressors is un
barring the gates of Pandemonium and
burling upon us the curses and miseries
of Hell. If at this time we cling not
to our only hope of salvation, if the Most
High stunds aloof, and quiets n<>t the
raging around us. our cup of sorrow will
soon overflow, and the harpies of irreli¬
gious tyranny will ever flap their wings,
reminding us of our superlative prosti¬
tution and woe.

Want of Confide*sice.
In looking over society we cannot fall
to sec much that needs correction, answeWd, apd
it is a grave question to be
how these evils ure to *>o
Until tba of “ M mm aru as
<‘ vl1 Wl11 ex,8t » *wwty will be disturbed,
but much can be accomplished by uni¬
,m ^ continued resistance to wrong
b y precept and example.
Amongjhe great evils under which
society groans in this day, is the want
Confidence between man and man.
lt Pervades all business and to this fact
is mainly attributable me discontinu
&oce of all credit, ilm manufactuiei,
the merchant and the fai mm must have
cash f,r l,i * M 00<js and produce, in some
instances, because it is indispensable to
the carrying on his business, but geuer
a ^Y because he is uof assured that the
purchaser will pay at the time appoint
ed.
How can confidence be restored? In
former days the man without means who
paid promptly, could obtain credit. He
needs it now more than he did then.
We venture to assert, that if the peo¬
ple will compromise their old debts fnir
ly—they can get long itidulgeuoe from
their creditors. If they will pay to the
utmost of their ability for what they
have become indebted since the war,
and kee[i sacrid their business obligations, a
new and u brighter era will dawn upon
us. Do you owe your merchant for
provisions and clothing for your family,
last year ? If so, how cun you, without
making every possible effort to pay him,
have the audacity to ask credit of any¬
body ? He and his family must live ;
and they live on the profits of his busi¬
ness. Yen cut off his business by with¬
holding the money you owe him ! Is
it right? Aye, I ask you in candor,
when by any means in your power you
can pay, is it honest not to do it ? Pon¬
der this matter—resolve to do all you
can to meet your obligations—persevere
iu this resolution year by year,anti you
Will, ere long, witness a change for the
better in a business view, and reap a
rich harvest in an approving conscience.
Never despair.
Let. the world know that your prom
istsarc made to be kept., and that your rule
of life is to ** <io unto others as you
would have them do unto you, 1 * and you
will find it an easy matter to get indul¬
gence from your merchants for dry goods
and other necessaries—from your black¬
smith, and miller for meal, flour and
Dickson sweeps.
Tlie duty of t*very one here is on the
side of their interest and their honor.—
Its performance is indispensable to suc
€1*88. Wheie un honest effort to pay is
nuele, and failure in business renders it
impossible, no keener sting can be giv¬
en than to upbraid the unfortunate one,
— and no better evidence can be furnish¬
ed of the utter heartlessuess of him who
wilfully inflicts such a wound.

THE HANCOCK WEEKLY JOURNAL
tor ih-> llui.oofk Inurnal.
Mr. Editor :—I read in your paper
of the 31st March, an article headed,
“The Agricultural Club—Shall it be
Revived”—in which the writer said
many good things, very much to the
point. II. »<ivi K , sus to rater srocl -—suM
the shares are only twenty-five dollars
each, &e. • Yes, he sai.l take
one, two.
three, live or ten shares, as snits onr
means. He also said three thousand
dollars is the amount wanted.
Mr. Editor, let us figure a little her«
and see how many shares there are in
three thousand dollars. Only one hun
dred and twenty. Now it does seen, to
me the counnittee might get that nun,
her in this^.W old county. Although
it is „„t my I,alive county, I feel a.
much interest in it as though it were.
Your correspondeut co.nes up to the
wurk like a ........ml proposes to take
lour ......res, or one hundred dollars.
Three cheers for him, I say, and all who
mayfolow his example. Yes, if
can get thirty stockholders ol this stripe
the job is completed.
It has not been in my power to attend
any ol tin < lub Meetings, business has
called me oft, hence I know but little of
the proceedings. The most of my in
formation I have gotten from your
per. Therefore, as I know but 1 ittle v
iu fact almost nothing, of the plans
enclosure, buildings, &c., I am not pre
pared to say how much is necessary to
complete them. The amount wanted,
your correspondent says, is three thou
sand dollars.
Having had a great deal to do with
our previous Fairs, and knowing the
size of the Fair Grounds, I will make a
f ( *w figures and see how the money will
hold our. My opinion is, we, or they
(the Club) should not commence the
work until the-re is enough subscribed
to complete it. (Some of our good cit¬
izens have some experience iu that line,
“ Factory , Steamboat, Fair Grounds, \c.)
The Fair Ground is a little ovn three
fourths of a mile round. Therefore, to
put a good plank fense seven feet high
around it will require thirty-three thou¬
sand feet of inch plank—cost, six hun¬
dred and sixty dollars. Two thousand
feet scantling—cost, four hundred dol¬
lars. Five hundred and fifty posts_
cost, two hundred and seventy-five dol¬
lars. Making a sum total of thirteen
hundred and thirty-five dollars. Nearly
half the amouut called for—to say no¬
thing about lumber for houses, nails,
hinges screws, and last, but not least,
the mechanic’s bill. I said I had a gn at
deal to do with the old work. Yes, Mr.
Editor, I had a good deal to do with it,
in all of its ramifications, and feel confi¬
dent, if the grounds arid buildings ;t re
put up after the old plan, three t 1 * on
sand dollars will not be sufficient.
What I have said, Mr. Editor, is u.»t
intended to throw cold water on what
our keep worthy Club are trying to do. or to
any from taking stock. The cause
is a good one . let us come up like men to
thcavork. Now I propose to he one of
four to take eight shares, or ”»ne of s *v
cn to take six shares, or one ten to
take fou. shares, with the promise, Mr.
Editor, that vou will not let my name
be known until the amount is suhs^ri
bed Like your correspondent, I am
out of the one thing needful to buy
stock. lint if the clouds w i 11 d rv up
their tears for a w.ek or two, 1 will
plant again and try to make enough to
pay lair—the my subscription. Yes, let us have
a ground is ours as long as it
is wanted for that pu pi*se, and a beau¬
tiful site it is. A fair is wh t we need,
to unite us, bring us and our friends, and
strangers too, oi.ee more together. Yes,
come, mother and maiden, father and
son, and freed man, too, we all have a
common interest. How well, Mr. Edi
