®|)t Jtatlj Jjrfss* City Printer—Official Paper LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION. ATJ GUJ H-r A ■ QA.» FRIDAY EMIGRATION. A great deal has been »aid agd writ ten upon this subject; and it has been asserted that it is the duty of every Southern man to remain at homo and share the trials, the sorrows, and the burdens which hare come upon our un happy section. To leave the country at this time is denounced as unwise, un manly, and unpatriotic. Now, we take a different view of the business. The “Ship of State” which the South built and set afloat upon the waters of No tional Existence has been wrecked, gone to pieces, and nothing is left but floating spars, masts, and timbers, to and upon which cling the surviving crew and passengers. If some of these can reach the shore and secure a place of safety, wbat reason is there in re. quiring them to stay with those less fortunate, and perish merely because their companions in distress must perish? We think the selfishness, want of manliness and wisdom, is all on the side ot those who so denounce emigra tion. Wo would not advise a general expa triation. If we can all get along at home it would be better for us. We de sire to see our country grow and pros per, and become as it was in the past ; but, as our readers know, we have very little faith in the fulfillment of the hopes of some of our sanguine countrymen. We fear that Radicalism has acquired too strong a hold upon the people of the North to be eradicated now. That we have good and true friends at the North, we verily believe ; that we have a wall-meaning patriotic President, we admit, and that there are large numbers at the North, who, though they hate and despise us as “Rebels,” are yet will ing to do us justice and to stand by the principles of the Constitution. But all these combined, we greatly fear, are insufficient to defeat the schemes of that Radical party which controls Con gress and holds the destinies of the Na tion in its hands. If we are mistaken— and Qod grant we may be—brighter and better days are in store tor us ; but if our worst fears are realised, it will be better for every Southerner who has loved his suffering South, to expatriate himself, and seek elsewhere that peace and justice which have flown this land. Then will the mild and beneficent Gov ernments of Brazil, Venezuela, and the Mexican Empire, open wide their arms to our Southern people and bid them welcome to a home of plenty, of peace, and of justice; then will the broad and fruitful fields of those grand regions invite the late Rebels to their cultivation, and to an asylum where he can enjoy that “liberty and inde pendence” which a Republican Govern ment (!) has denied him. We advise no haste in this movement. It is, iu our judgment, best to wait and see what course is to be pursued by the North. If the Conservatives carry the Fall elections there, we shall be safe. With a Congress favorable to the Presi dent and to his policy of reconstruction, confidence will be restored to the whole country, capital will seek investment, trade and commerce will flow abun dantly into the old or new channels, art and industry will once more flourish; aud the Government once more con ducted on the broad platform of the Constitution. We love to paint aud look Upon such a picture. It bids us hope and be cheerful. But, alas 1 it has its dark side—its gloomy reverse—upon which we cannot draw the curtain so close as to shut it out entirely. If, then, emigration shall become ne cessary, we think that Brazil furnishes the best field for Southern emigration. Its climate, its soil, and its customs, are more in accordance with those of the South, and afford the best opportunities of profitable investment and successful colonization. Its Government a mild Monarchy; its climate is more varied than that of the United States; and in the regions whore imigration is likely to settle healthy and salubrious; labor cheap and abundant; and every thing inviting to the industrious and thrifty man. The subject is one which interests our people, and they should be come familiar with it, so that if {he' time Should unhappily come when expa triatioWWhall be rendered necessary and expedient, they may be prepared to act with prudence, discretion, and prompt ness. —Charles T. Willard, the inventor of cyphers for telegraphing, which were used in the army during the war, while walking through Fifth street, in Phila delphia, on Friday, tell into a deep cellar and wus killed. Phaykr for Prmibmt Datir. — The annexed tonchingly beautiful prayer for the illustrious captive, who now pines within the dreary walls of Fortress Mon roe, appears in the Lynchburg (Va.) R'ews. It was offered up by Rev. Dr. Broaddus, at the late session of the Albemarlo (Va.) Association, held in Charlottesville. The latter clause, it will be observed, referred to the Phila delphia Convention: ‘ O thon God of Nations I thou God of the whole earth ! look down upon our distinguished fellow-citizen, recently the Chief Magistrate of the political Con federation now no longer existing. In the mysterious workings of thy Provi deuce, thou bast permitted thy servant to bo confined iu a loathsome prison, shut out from all communion with the thousnnds that love him. We would bow in humble submission to thy will; but, O Lord I as thy servant suffers in our stead, who deserve whatever penal ties he deserves, we plead with thee in behalf of thy servant, that he may soou be released from prison, and permitted to breathe the air of personal liberty. But if he must suffer still longer, grant him grace, that he may bear with Christian patience and fortitude the bitter sufferings of his present condition. And, 0 Lord ! bless our country, our suffering land, torn asunder by faction aud dissensions. Overrule in the coun cil of the body of tnen now in conven tion in a distant city, striving to restore quiet in this great land. Strengthen the hands and heart of every man in that Convention, who is honestly labor ing to bring order out of the confusion that now reigns in the land. Rebuke, O Lord, the spirit of faction which would work mischief among us, and let it not be long before we shall enjoy good civil government, and harmony prevail throughout the country. Amen I Surely no true Southern heart will fail to respond an earnest Amen to that part of the petition relating to our late leader—Prisoner Davis. We have been somewhat surprised of late, that in their public ministrations, some, at least, of our ministers have for gotten or neglected to petition the Throne of Grace in behalf of him whom we all love. But for us—in calling him to preside over the destinios of the Gov ernment we soughttoset up—Mr. Davis would to-day have been as free as those of us who enjoy the greatest liberty. Let us not forget him. Let prayer and supplication to God be continually made in his behalf. A Bai.l Dukss.— The sensadonal re porters have a way of doing things ‘.hat is. to sav the least, nt it, mn.i «,» some times quite startling. Tb it -U these writers is well taken oft by the following burlesque of the way ball dresses are described : She wore an exquisite hyphalutin on her head, while her train was composed of transparent fol de-rol, and her petti coat of cambambull flounced with Brussels three-ply of A No. 1. In the words of another member of the profession, “that must have been a love of a dress.” Buck-eye Tactics.— lt is said that during General Morgan's raid in Ohio, a regiment of raw militia being drawn up before the newly elected Colonel, the advance was ordered in the following Buck-eye vernacular: “Look wild thar 1 tote your gnns; pre pare to thicken and march endways 1 Go aflunkin—git 1” and amidst such a yell as was never before heard in those “diggins” the gallant Colonel dashed off in search of the “gray-backs,” followed by his impatient command. —A young woman eighteen years of age, named Eliza Gerding, was burned to death at Newark, on Sunday, by the explosion of a kerosene oil can. She was trying to start a fire with the open can in one hand and a lighted match in the other, when the match, by some means, ignited the kerosene, and the can con taining it exploded, the contents being scattered over her.
