TIME.
BT I.ORAINE.
The New Year’s bells have ceased to ring.
Eighteen hundred and sixty-six is speeding on,
Time with his swift, his rapid wing
Will soon whisper. •• ’tis gone—’tis gone!”
Swiftly Tim. - is speeding.
Swiftly speeding on.
Lite’s sad cares unheeding—
Going, going—gone!
The present hoar is Time; ’tis going
And soon, soon will its moment' be o'er.
And though the sea of Time keeps flowing.
The waves now passing, return no more.
Swiftly Time is flying,
Fast lading away 1
Ever, ever dying.
Is to-day—to-day !
The saitt wheel ot Tim„ j- n t play.
Bearing us rapidly to our doom ;
Nothing can his silent course delay—
IL It bear 9s to the tomb—to the tomb!
Swiltly, Time is flowing ;
Our moments soou o'er
Sigh sadly while going,
** We'll return no more.”
Remorseless Titne! O. thou warp of life.
We would not thy onward flight delay:
But armed by Christ for Earthly strife.
Bravely would wc battle through the day
Swiltly. 1 inm is reaping ;
I ho noble, the brave
Ere long will bo sleeping
’ In the grave—(be grave!
Rapidly. Time is passing away.
And (ast dying is our fleeting breath*
Each hour brings us nearer to decay,
And whispers sadly “’tisdeath—’tis death!’
Swiftly Time is stealing ,
Our very life’ breath.
Its sad march is pealing,
•• On to death—to death !’’

The Small Poi.—The most’infei'esting
subject to our citizens now, is the pro
gress of that loathsome disease,^thesmall
pox. It is thoroughly epidefoictil. "Itbse
been mainly confined to the negroes, bat
is now gathering stienglh among tho
whites, so that no man of either race, sus
ceptible to its influences, can feel himself
secure, without much precaution.
Vaccination is the best safeguard
against it; but the viruB of the eruption
is not all alike. That of Htrumous, or sera-
fujoufl, person, o* persons of venerial
taints, is of doubtful value; and we un
derstand also that the virus, (or vaccine
matter) of the negro is net so efScadions
in application to the' whites as that df
their own congeners. In other words,
that the efficacy of vaccination depends
on the source whence the viruB is derived'
—a fact which, wo imagine, helps tosoow
that the negro is not of the same race as
his white felloW-citiieu. - • • • t
It is impossible to tell how many ne-
m..,, .. *v., 3 u»*.iu luta groes have died of this disease since it
nmre lutiduhlc purpose fban any either of, ^ 8 . a PP ea ^ anc 6 here. The reported'
bills of its mortality do not discover the'
whole extent of it. Colored men are seen
everyday on the streets covered with the
pustules,and they pass every where among
our population, strewing the disease in all
quarters. Many of them, having no friends,
have wandered into the suburban woods
and, poor creatures! died there without
any one to administer to their necessities.

Tnxution and Representation, j
Tin.: Aiuei ican colonies did not complain !
of the emouni of taxes imposed upon them \
by tin- mot her country. This was not the j
cause of the war of IY7G. It was the \
principle involved that led to the war—
the colonies very properly claiming that !
taxation without representation was tin-,
just and tyr.inieal, and, therefure, ought j
to be resisted. Had tlu* colonies been re- j
presented in tlie British Parliament, the '
Revolutionary war would never Ji^.x-e oc- !

In tin* meantime, what is to become of

Tlu* Secretary of the Treasury has urg

it is .impossible to collect the revenue so

The truth is, it is not at all necessary

as a permanent rule, but simply as a war

AN‘*t;: c " Radical Movement—It will la-
seen by the .proceedings of tbe U. states
Senate that the rad'eals in that body are
determined that the negroes on the coast,
who hold lands under tbe orders issued
by Gen. Sherman,- shall -retain possession
of the same for three years. The order
issued by Gen. Sherman was a war order.
The war being over, that order and its
provisions should now be considered null
and vo d. The power assumed by Con
gress to give the negroes, on those lands
the privilege of retaining them, is uncon
stitutional. It is wrong. ‘Congress has
no more right to legislate opon any mat
ters of this fend in Georgia, than it has
to'legislate upon such matters in New
York or any other State.
It should be tbe great aim of efir Na
tional Legislators to heal the wounds
caused by the war, instead of tearing them
open afresh; to remove all causes of irri
tation, instead of adding to them. When
such a course is adopted, we sha I witness
an era of prosperity never before enjoyed
by any nation. Until that time arrives,
we shall -be in s continaal turmoil and ex-
.citenuent—a condition highly injnrtons to
any nation and destructive to its beet in-
terest and its own growth.

The Old Whig Party.
We have seen it intimated by a South
ern newspaper that the Whig party, in
allowing titeir political organization to be
merged in the Republican party led the
way to tin* late war.
If we cati ho p**tmilted to defend the
dead (torn unjust accusation withoutdraw-
ihg ( ii t;s the virtuous indignation of the
old enemies of the late Whigs, we will
veture to insinuate, in the most respect
ful and deferential manner, that the old
Whig party was never responsible in any
w .y or shape for any war that was ever
fought in this country, except, possibly,
their contracts.— j the War of the Revolution. This war
they got np and fought through, but all
and tinkle with fiendish joy; rebellious
carpets unroll their gandy colors, and
revolutional pianos thump their demon
note.
A Gallant Letter.—The annexed letter

Don’t be Discouraged.—Young man,
don’t be discouraged if you find it hard
work and little pay. Work is honorable,
and industry will certainly have its re

off. Don 5 * be discouraged because you
cant’ get married just now, and take a
wife’s cares and troubles on yout^sboul-
dera, in addition to your owd. Wait a
little longer. Honesty and industry will
soon pat you in a position .to .get a girl
who will, divide your, joys and your sor
rows. At any rate,-don’t lie discouraged
because your wages are small—.the con
dition of the country requires every busi
ness man to practice economy. Yon sbutWd
do the same thing. Work on—a brighter
day will dawn on yonr efforts, and your
labor be crowned with a fruition of all
reasonable hopes and expectations.
