The foregoing ia one of the rmolutlone adopted
by the Mew Hampshire Democratic Convention.
It, in n lew word*, embodies alarming truths.—
That the publio conscience la demoralized, not
even Thud. Stevens will preUnd to deny. In
deed, even this worse than prescriptive and In

uonneed the radical Legislature of hit own State,
as a corrupt und demoralized body, wi'hout con

siranga, no defense was set np against the charge
that had the least influence upon public opinion

community—what city, town, villago or hamlet
—realize that there it “stagnation of all legiti

J[y Dear Futher and Mother :
We ore glad to acknowledge the receipt ot
letters (torn sister 8., brother W. J. M., B. A 8.,
written In June. All came together, aud afforded
a treat which you may bo assured we enjoyed,
though It pains us to hear such 111 tldlnga ol the
present condition of the country, aud euch fore-
Uodinga of its future. We feci tbe deepest In
terest in our dear relations aud friend* whom we
have h-fl behind, and cannot but wish they were
nil here with us. Still we would not persuade
them to cornu, lest they should bo dissatisfied,
though for myself I do not see how a person
could he dissatisfied witit such acountry as we
have here. If they should be as well pleased as
I nut, 1 could wish from my heart they were all
here. We are surpt tacd that you received no
litters la March. Yours come regularly, and we
write punctually. When wo lost wrote we were
moviug to our uew home, fourteen miles from
where we lived tost year. (It Is the beginning
«( a new year with us now, you know.) I am
glad to u-ll you we have got out of the dirt sad
mud (the fleas are Mill troublesome) and that we
have thing* arranged a* conveniently as possible
lor the prescut. I atu delighted with our uew
locntiou in every respect excepting the mud.—
Our floors are all clay except ono, and the red
dest clay you over saw. The dirt of course i»
mo*t disagreeable. I would prefer to live on
poorer laud and bo clean. Our house to situated
iu a largo green lawn, near the eummlt of a bill.
The malu enclosure is very large and sub-divided
into two large yards, two gardens and a nursery
•>f fruit. The fruits consist of oranges ol
aeveral varieties, peaches, lemons, guava,
pomegranates, figs, bananas sod pineapples. The
two latter, however, are in tbe coflee field. We
have no sliado trees ezeopt the orange and tom-
on. At the corner of my room there to a spruce
piue tall as any in Southwest Georgia, and as tbe
wind whistles through it, I am reminded ot my
once dear old homo in the 8tatca. We bsvo u
house of iwulvo rooms which though unsightly
iu appenrsneo is convenient and comfortable for
use. Ah, I hear you say, “a big house aud
nothing in it." But this is not so. You would
bo surprised to know bow many articles of fur
niture we have manufactured out ot our old
boxes, and without expense. Betide* J. N. has
put up a dozen chairs, among them a nice rocker,
which would astonish you for comfort. He baa
surprised us all by this exhibit of genius. Our
pantry and smoke-housa are convenient, and
comparatively full The meat we killed has
cured nicely, and also tbe sanaagee. Had not
told you that we bad a cheese press. Have sue
ceeded admirably in making one cheese, and
have another in press. Expect to make two a
week. I make a great deal more butter than we
consume and tbe richest I ever saw. It It worth
fifty cents per pound, and I have aotd over $90
worth. There Is, however, very little demand
for it In places very near as, and it ii not conve
nient to carry it to large towns at a distance.—
Our kitchen Is quite commodious with n furnace
sad large bako room, which I use every Satur
day. Our water is vary convenient—only fifty
yards off. In full view of the house it n beauti
ful pond, and the ducks swimming on It at pre
sent, make a charming scene. Ot tbe ducks, I
expect to raise a groat many. Two of those 1
have were given me by the lady who lived here
before us.
Mr. M. is preparing now tor corn and cotton.
Tbe boys work regularly and well. Mr. M. to
much pleased with the negroes ha bought. Tbey
work as well as any he owned In the States. We
have one on trial (with n view of purchasing It
he likes him) who baa the character of a rant-
way. Yesterday ha came to Mr. M. and told
him he wanted him t* sell him. Mr. M. asked
him why he wanted to be sold, bnt be could not
give any reason; so Mr. M. gave him a thrashing
And scot him back to work. W* have alnee
learned that ills dissatisfaction arose from hie
failure to secure the hand of a girl we bought,
tho cook being his tuccessful rival. ThU girl
washes, irons, and sews well.
We rise at tour o’clock, have breakfast by five,
and all band* go to work—Mr. M. and tbe field
hands remaining all day in the field, carrying
their dinner with them.
We havo every article ot food iu abundanoe,
except flour. Our cows are as fine as any you
ever saw; also, the bogs; chickens and eggs
almost without limit; have not been able to get
anv tut kevs and guineas, as they are not so plen
tiful.
Tbe next mouth (September) Is the season for
gardening here, and 1 am anxious to try my
hand. This must be tho moM delightful climate
in the world. It Is now the dead of winter, and
If it were not for tbe wind, you would Imagine
it a May day. Tho bird* are chirping and sing
log sweetly, and tbo fruit trees, especially the
orange, are budding and blooming, filling the
atmosphere with a most delightful fragrance.
Tbe trees bear here all the time. We have or
anges and lemons of all sizes the yczr round.
Sinco our removal wc have mingled to some
extent with the natives—our neighbors. Before
we had been here a week some ot them came
and spent the day. One, a very Jovial and friend
ly old lady, presented mo with a pair of chick
ens, two baskets of potatoes—ono of Irish, the
other sweet—2 dor. eggs and a cheese. To Mr. M.
she gave a large bottle ot pepper sauce. An
other neighbor rent us more than a bushel ot
Irish potatoes. So far we have been treated
mostly kindly. Every day we get presents of
tome kind. The syrup which they make, and
with which they have supplied us bountifully, is
very fine. Many families have been to sec us—
tho ladies riding horseback, not cross-legged as
has been reported, but tideways and that too
most gracefully. They drete with much tasta
and neatness—having tbelr riding dresses very
long, and tome of them are made of eattn. Some
of the ladies are pretty and Intelligent. I have
visited, two families —one this week. They have
a place, though only a mile from us—of beauti
ful white soil. Every thing about them was
nest and orderly. Oue of the daughters played
on the piano, and sung veiy prettily. They gave
us ns rich a dinner, and one eerved up In as
much style as any I ever sat down to. At the
other place we only spent the afternoon. They
carried us through their coffoe field which wee
very fine, and forms a most beautiful eight; also
through their orchard which contain* several
fralta we had never teen before. They eent me
e basket full tbia morning of trait, which taatee
eomtobing like the cultivated plum of the States
only they are much nicer, and are ahaped Uke
the pear. One of tbe neighbor* gave Hr. M. a
pair ol sheep. They teem to he anxious for our
friends In tho State* to come here.
There is ono serious end palatal privation—the
absence of church privileges. OI bow 1 long
lor tbe dropplngt of tbe sanctuary—lor tboeonga
of Zion—aud to sea the feet of them that bring
glad tiding*. We humbly prey that tbe day it
not far distant, when we shall haves Minister
and elrareb. Have ettanded the Catholic church
once, enjoyed only tbo sieging which to dllerent
tram any I ever baerd. Ie our old neighborhood
i; aao bos twelve scholars.
It la seldom we beer of atoknem—from the
looks ol the natives would Jedge the country to
be healthy, and nil oar colony have enjoyed ex-
•ileal health n far. Several persons who were
very techie when they arrived here have become
robust.

Wa notice in the proceedings of a meeting
held In Laurent District, South Carolina, called
to receive the report of the delegatee lrom that
district to the Convention recently hold In Co
lumbia, published In tbo Laurensvtlto Herald ot
the $9d luatant, that llte following resolutions
were adopted—tbe report made by the delegatee
on 'its occasion being nothing more nor lesa titan
“an addresa to the pcoplo of South Carolina"
adopted by tho Columbia Convention as the ac
tion ol that Convention:
Iieeoltod, That tho "Address” He on tho table.
In the opinion of the white citizen* of Laurens
District litre asscntblud, the conclusion* at
which that address has arrived, to wit: that
“the people (white) of the South are powerle**
to avert the Impending ruin," and that “the
responsibility to posterity and to the world ha*
pawed into other bauds,” are erroneous, and
tltclr announcement impolite. Tlioxe wtio will
make no farther effort, however deapermto their
situation, to do something lor their rights und
safety, will never bo either respected or assisted
by other portions ot mankind.
Reeoletd, That the white people of the South
—oitch man—should now prepare to deiend
themselves and their households, and to aid and
co-operate in nny measures of relief which may
emanate from other quarters or persons, within
tho range of white civilization. Wu cxpict
uolhing from and will greut nothing to the
uegro race or their asaLtants.
Hewlett!, That the Issue* Imve now passed be
yond tlte ballot box aud are now "impending”
over our household*.
Notwithstanding that the foregoing resolu
tions, Introduced by Col. Johu Cunningham,
were voted down, we coufces that wo consider
them both pulrlotio and bold, eipeclally tho
seooud of them which ducliwcs that “we expect
no.hing from, and will graut nothing to tho
uegro race or their assistants." Wo also appre
ciate highly the sentlmeut, that “those wku will
make no farthur effort, however desperate tiller
situation, to do something for their rights and
safety, will never be either respected or assisted
by other portions of mankind." The “issues
Impending our own household" cannot he met
successfully by what may be considered the
result only of dupair—IK action.

According to Olive Logan, who has attended
the sale of the Empress Eugenie’s wardrobe at
the Tuileries, Mr*. Lincoln bad no royal warrant
for her recent attempted sale ot her cast-off dres
ses. Miss Logan says In last week’s Jlarper't
Bazaar that ‘tho Empress doe* qotsell at *11; she
only gicet her cast-off dresses to her servants, and
there ia an end of it so far as aha is concerned.—
Her servants sell them privately, admitting none
but very privileged person* to tbe rale, and there
is not tbe leaM publicity to the affair. I think II
any newspaper editor in France were even to
itemize such a fact It might be worse for him.
A young man by the name of Thomas Man

In tbe National Gallery, at Washington, are
garments and various articles ot personal pro
perty, worn or posseesed by Washington, Jack-
