A Good Sign.
The following extracts from a recent
article in the Providence (K. I.) lb-ess,
entitled “Mutual Confidence Neceswry
to Permanent Union,” are peculiarly
gratifying, aa coming from so Radical a
course. It is rather by such conciliatory
language that harmony is to be restored
and the Uuion reconstrudßd, than by
violent harangues and incendiary threats.
Let ns hope that it will become more
general among our Radical brethreu.
The /Vws says:
All that seems to be necessary for a
complete nnd satisfactory re union is a
more general understanding of the views
which govern the actions of men. Asa
nation we are sectional, because we do
not know each other. We are too jeal
ous ot political power. We are too
ready to attribute false motives of ac
tion to each other. Among our own
political trends, we are always ready to
give credit for honesty of intention j of
the sincerity of our political opponents,
and especially of those occupying a
different section of the country, we are
generally skeptical. We demand a
confidence in ourselves which we are
uuwilling to accord to others.
Political bigotry is the bane of dcmo
cratical institutions. It is confined to no
particular section, but is as wide as the
continent itself. Although no visible in
quisition is established, every party has
its proscription, which is as crushing
and hateful as any inquisition that has
disgraced the history of Christendom
The great and imperative necessity of
the nation at the present time is confi
dence in individual honesty nnd political
sincerity. The North and the South
must leant to respect each other. We
must begin to understand that ouf in
terests are not diverse but mutually
dependent. That the promotion ol
union and harmony will prove of com
mon benefit to the nation. Rivalry in
the different departments of industry,
only serves to develop the material re
sources of the country.
Our wealth springs from the sinewy
arm of 1 floor. Ihe power of the govern
ment is but the reflected power of the
nation. In it it should take an honest
pride. Our political controversies should
not be for the attainment of personal
umbition, but for the welfare of the
country. Parties must ignore men and
strive for measures. The whole people
should be animated by the desire to
promote the interests of their commtfn
country. Any other motive than this is
a reproach to democratica! institutions
and a dishonor to their citizens. Mutual
confidence is an absolute necessity for a
successful republic. It is the very key
to its permanence and dignity. If this
•nation can only realize that it is. a
family, united by kindred ties, enjoying
a common patrimony and an equal heri
tage of freedom, it will soon reach the
position, which has’ been the fondest
hope of all true patriots.
Out of this Congressional excursion,
therefore, we expect the most satisfac
tory results. Not that the few words
which the delegation spoke, will be of
great importance, but that they may
lead the people of the South to think
more earnestly of their condition, and to
conclude that the North has no motive
to oppress them, but every reason to
conciliate and forgive. United by so
many bonds, with interests never con
flicting, situated in our relations with
each other as if placed by a Divine
hand, we cannot live apart. Nature
demands Union that her resources may
lie developed. Commerce requires it,
that she may pour into our lap her
golden offerings Mechanic art flourishes
by its kindly nurture, and will not be
satisfied without it. Civilization itself
demands it, that the world may have a
model and i guide. With mutual-for--
liearance and confidence, union ij cer
tain. Our faith iu each other will make
us whole.
Ujiited States National Demo
cratic Convention, Louisville, Ken
tucky, Tuesday, May 2, 1807. —There
will be a United States National Demo
cratic Convention held in the city of
Louisville, Kentucky, organizing at 12
o'clock, noou, of Tuesday, May 2, 1867,
on which occasion the Democrats of the
United States are invited to meet for the
purpose of consultation and a reorgani
zation of the parly, and for the defend
ing of the Constitutional liberties ot the
States and the People.
Every Congressional District in the
United States, from Maine to Calilorniu,
will be eutitled to two representatives in
the Convention, and there will also be
one from eßch State and Territory at
large to be elected by the district dele
gates, and it is suggested that notice be
given by the Democrats of each district,
and the aforementioned delegates be
elected as soon us possible.
The object of the above National
Democratic Convention is to reorganize
for victory on the basis of the principles
of our bathers —equality of States—no
taxation, without representation—equul
taxation law, order and domestic trait
quility.
Let the memories and examples ol
the pas. —the darkness ol the luturc,
and the hopes ol posterity be our guide
and our strength lit this grert effort in
defense of the Sight, thu principles ol
Liberty, and the success of that sell
government which derives its strength
and support trom tbe consent ol the
governed. TII E PEOPLE.

ton, Pakll»Mr», 413 Rroldw.y. London :
8. Low A Cos. IMT. Gao. A. Oates,
Augusta, Ba.
We enter upon a ciitical notice of
this work with uo little hesitation and
misgiving of oer ability to do the fair
authoress justice, particularly afyrr her
scathing, and, we fear, too often ferited
rebuke of those professional critics,
whose principal duty seems to be to
write down all anthora, or, at least, to
point out their faults in glowing colors,
and paint their merits as dimly as pos
sible. And again, onr well known gal
lantry would lead us to deal kindly with
a lady’s faults, even if we felt it a duty
to expose them. Fortunately, however,
in this instance, there is so little to con
demn, that it is unnecessary to even
refer to its faults, for certainly- it has
some—as what book of human author
ship has not? Leaving these, then, out
of view, we pronounce Su Elmo ns the
best of the three books which Miss
Evans has writtcti ; nnd if we were to
write columns in its tavor, we could add
no expression of greater praise than
this; for who that has read “Beulah”
and “Macaria” but will pronounce them
capital and captivating novels ?
Miss Evans has wisely sought to con
vey great moral truth through the pages
of her novels; and in St. Elmo, she has
given us some political views which are
worthy of commendation, and would not
suffer from a comparison with Mills, and
other political economists- She is pe
culisrly gifted as a word painter, and a
beauty and even sublimity characterizes
many passages in the work under con
sideration, which render it grand and
attractive even in its simplicity and
clearness ot style. It is true, she often
draws comparisons from classical and
scientific literature, and illustrates her
positions by quotations from the Latin
and foreign tongues; and for this she
has been accused, by some critics, as
pedantic aud ambitious of displaying
her knowledge—an injustice which we
must repel; for surely such varied refer
ences and deep research as are shown
in St. Elmo, evince a refinement of
talent, aiid degree ot learning that could
uot be found in hasty references to text
books, Encyclopedias, and Classical
Dictionaries. This charge must fail
harmless at the feet of the fair author
ess, and is best answered in the refer
enced .to a similar charge against her
heroine Edna Earl, who is also an au
thoress : ‘‘Whereat the young author
could not help laughing heartily, and
wondering why, if her learning had been
so easily gleaned, her iri.tj and insulted
critics did not follow lnr example” (.)
And again Edna says: “When will they
begin to suspect that what they may
imagine sounds ‘learned’ in my writings,
merely appears so to theiq because they
have not climbed high enough to see
how vast, how infinite, is the sphere of
human learning? No, no, dear reader)
shivering with learning-phobia, I am
not iearned. You are only a little, a
very little more ignorant. Doubtless
you know many things which I should
be glad to learu : come let us barter.
Let us all study the life ot Giovani Pica
Mirandola. and then we shall begin to
understand the meauing of the word
learned.”
We trust we shall be pardoned for
quoting Miss Evans’ defence of her
heroine against a similar charge, as
applicable to herself, with the single
exception that the former is “learned”—
learned not only in the knowledge
which books afford, but learned in the
nature of men and women, and more
particularly in that of the latter;
learned in the use of words and the
knowledge of stringing them together
beautifully. This learning she has
most charmingly displayed in the pres
ent Novel, and we take pleasure in en
dorsing the following complimentary
and highly flattering, but well deserved,
notice of the the book, from the Atlanta
(Ga.) Intelligencer: “We regard the
whole book as sublime in conception,
and excellent in execution. It is a
ehnrming volume, full of beauty, and at
times, abounding in such eloquence ns
moves upon the great deep of the soul
as the ocean is stirred by a mighty
wind. If Miss Evans needed ono more
achievement as a culminating point for
her fame she has it iu St. Elmo. We
predict for it an immense sale and
tender dealing at the hands of impe
rious criticism.”
The South has reason to be proud of
Miss Evans’ fame, and she has cause to
be proud of St. Elmo. Those who have
not read it should do so at once ; and
fastidious must be tbe taste that is not
pleased with it.
Aouicui.tukal Colleges. —The Lex
ington (Ky.) Gazette, speaking o!
the ngricultural department’of the State
University, says :
This department of the University
is last failing to the capacity of uccum
modatiun. There are about eighty
students, and a fine and more gentle
manly set of yonng men are not to be
found in any collego in the country.
Jt is a handsome sight to see them ou
parade, with their new uniforms and
martial air, stepping with the precision
of veterans to the drum and fife. There
are no bfudents faken under sixteen
years of age, and those now entered are
lino grown, athletic young men, in tin
very picture of health. They presents
marked contrast to most college students,
with their sickly, bent forms and caffe
verous countenances. This is the result
ol the out-door exercise and wiyk which
they do. The drill, which they go
through, straightens their forms, and
their mental discipline deprives them of
the brutal expression which >s observable
in the mere soldier.
The following is given as the statia*
tics of the Protestant Episcopal Church
in this country: Whole number of par.
isliers, 2306 ; number of clergy, 2630;

Onr Position, Onr D&o£pr, and
Onr Duty.
Itlltl IT.
Editor of the Daily Press r—lt is th e
organised passion, prejudice, and hos
tility of the majority of the Northern
people which we haM to encounter and
which we must overtome before we can
expect a cessation of the injustice and
oppression with which the Radicals in
Congre«s are pursuing us. While that
organized hostility continues, the power
of Stevens and Sumner is unlimited.
Whenever it ceases, those individuals
become us impotent to harm us as the
little pages who carry their letters to the
mail. The Radicals know this, and,
therefore, it is that their dreams by
night and their thoughts by day all
tend to inflame tbe passion, foster the
prejudice, and envenom the hostility of
the North against us, and that there is
no art, or Rrtifice, no misrepresenta
tion, or falsehood, to which they are
not prepared to resort iu order to carry
out their own purely selfish purpose.
Whenever the Northern people find out
that the people of the South are honest,
sincere, and law-abiding ; that they
want nothing but peace and good
fellowship with all meu; that they are
not turbulent, faithless, lawless, or
cruelty loving, as they are represented,
the death knell of Radical dominion
will have sounded, and we shall cease
to be the victims of wrong and injustice.
All the insults, vituperation, aud
threats of the Radicals are designed
with the studied purpose to goad us
into the commission of some intern
perate act, or the expression of excited
feeling, which may appear to afford
justification for the oppression with
which we are treated. The Radical
leaders hate us with deeper intensity for
our moderation and submission to law
than they would were we really guilty
of the crimes which they impute to us.
It we really made the murder of negroes
our daily pastime, and varied that
amusement with the occasional assas
sination or torture of Union men, as the
Radical journals daily inform their
leaders, we should not be nearly ns
odious to Mr. Sunnier as we are, nor
would it be necessary for him to fabri
cate a correspondence recounting the
catalogue of our crimes, in order to give
point to his “tales of wonder.” It is of
vital importance to the Radical politi
cians, that the North should believe that
we are violent, aggressive, intractable,
rebellious, contumacious, stiff-necked,
barbarous, and that a number of other
adjectives of similar import, give only a
feeble idea of our criminal acts and in
tentions. By these misrepresentations
the "organized hostility” to which I re
fer is preserved. To undermine and
break down this is our first duty, and
one which I feel convinced we can suc
cessfully perform, nnd that too without
the slightest forfeiture of houor or self
respect.
We c-au disarm passion by modera
tion and patience. We can dissipate
prejudice by proving that it is unfounded
nnd unjust; and when we have done
this, hostility will die out for want if
fuel. We may refuse to adopt the pro
posed Constitutional Amendment and
thereby become the bribed traducers oi
our own brethren, and yet be willing
and ready to make concessions to secure
peace nnd rest. We may claim ail onr
Constitutional rights without angry defij
ancc or the creation of sectional issues.
While we profess nnd observe a religious
obedience to all constitutional laws, we
successfully maintain that by that very
obedience we prove our right to protec
tion against injustice and discriminating
legislation. While we declare our wil
lingness to submit to equal laxation, we
assert our right to equal representation.
While we cheerfully agree to fulfil all
our dnlies, we prove most conclusively
our title to all our rights.
At the same time that I hope that
every Southern State may decline to
adopt the Constitutional Amendment
witli the same unanimity of popular
sentiment as was manifested in Georgia;
and while I trust that the South will
never yield one jot or tittle of her honor
through fear, or to purchase thrift, 1 do
hope that she will use all honorable
means within her power to avert the
calamities by which she is beset, and
defeat the schemes by which an unprin
cipled political faction seeks to work h> r
destruction.
Li my bumble judgment, it is as fool
ish as it is certainly ruinous for us to
declare that we refuse all terms and
compromise, because we do not believe
that we can get the exact terms which
we desire ; and it appears to me equally
imprudent to wrap ourselves in sullen
silence because we have refused to
accept a proposition which we think dis
honorable. To talk and write as if Leo
was still at the head ot the glorious
army of Northern Virginia, and John
ston still commanded the army of Ten
nessee, may gratify pride, hut. it is cer
tainly inconsistent with wisdom.
Tlie tacts by which wo are sur
rounded are too stern to be denied or
Overlooked. It is plain that we must
make concessions to the united senti
ment ol the North before we can hope
for a termination of our troubles. By
onr readiness to make such con
cessions ns onr honor nnd safety will
permit, we may conciliate oppositii n,
assuage angry teeling, and incline those
who have the power to moderate their
demands. By a contrary course—by a
haughty refusal to treat—we certainly
consolidate and intensify hostility and
precipitate our own ruin. We may
he convinced that it is unjust and un
fcnerous to force us to make any fur
ther concessions. We have done every
thing that ought to bo requir and of us.
We have abundantly proved our good
faith. But of what avail to ns is this
conviction, where an irresistible major
tty, professiug to govern as conqueror,
governs subjects and say that they are
tot satisfied, and that we must do some
hlng more? To refuse to speak is
piite as ruinous to us as active resist
, ..tnce would be, Xylon.

AUSTRALIAN CRYSTAL,
SINGLE AND DOUBLE VISION
» PBOTAOLEIS
Ihe Only Perfect Lens in Existence T
Superior to any other in nse—constructed
in areocrdance with the science and philosophy
of nature in the peculiar form of a CONOAVO—
CONVEX ELLIPSIS. Admirably adapted to
the Organ of Sight, and perfectly natural to
the eye, affording altogether the best artificial
help to the human vision ever invented.
Sold only by the Professor of Optics and
Spectacle Manufacturer.
THE ADVANTAGES of these Spectacles
aver all others, are—
-Ist. The only true Lens known, being per
fectly free from chromatic light, so well known
to be the cause of injury to the vision, and
which makes the change from Spectacled to
Glasses of stronger powers, so often required,
while both near and distant objects are seen
with equal facility through the same Glasses.
2d. Can be worn with perfect ease for suy
length of time at one sitting, giving astonish
ing clearness of vision, particularly by candle
or other artificial light—comfort to the Spec
tacle wearer hitherto unknown.
3d. When the eyes ache or pain through the
action of a bright light, such as is reflected
from snow, sunny weather, white paper, and
in reading, writing, or sewing, or vivid colored
bodies, these Lenses, by softening the rays,
effect a most agreeable sensation and give
great relief.
4th. In all nervous affections of the eye
causing dull and startling pains in the eye
ball or temple, appearance of luminous
and dark spots in tbe atmosphere, itching
or feeling like sand in the eye, tbe disturbed
nerves are quieted and soothed.
sth. Ground by peculiar machinery, got up
at great cost, mathematically calculated ex
pressly for the manufneture of tbis'Lens, so as
to produce it with the true spherical accuracy,
and its focus is at tbe exact centre, a point
of vital importance, and which no other Lens
possesses.
*th. Proof of Superiority over the old kirnl
of Spectacles. They are used exclusively at
all the hospitals for diseases of tbe eye, in
Berlin, Prussia, and elsewhere.
TESTIMONY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
From Medical gentlemen, Professors of the
highest Opthnlmic talent iu Augusta, Ga., and
iu the Union :
Augusta, Ga., December Bth, 1866.
I have examined tbe Glasses of Dr. Bern
hardt, and find them of good quality. His
testimonials arc very iflnnerous and exceed
ingly flattering. ,L. A. DUGAS, M. D.
Augusta, Ga., Dec 7, 1866.
I do most willingly bear my testimony io
favor of the superiority of tbo Australian
Crystal—single and double vision spectacles—
ever all other kinds. They aro constructed
upon tho best established and understood prin
ciples of optics, and their adaptation to the
buiean eye iu its different conditions of vision
is so perfect, as to render sight easy without
effort. In my opinion, nooe others should,
used, since the eyes once used to those do i.
seem to grow old, and by having a focus,
any point of the surface, they nppear to re
store tbe eyes to their youthful energy.
LEWIS D. FORD, M. D.
Augusta, Oa., Doc. y, 1866.
I have examined a great variety of Glasses
manufactured by Professor M. Bernhardt, aud
in justice to tbe Professor, must say that his
Glasses are of a superior quality, adapted to
mcot the wants of almost every eye, where the
vision is in any way imperfect. The Professor
selected tor me a pair of tbe Australian Crystal
Glasses, which are of a very superior quality
and workmanship, rendering vision very dis
tinct, almost us perfect us in youth. 1 yield
this testimony in favor of tho Professor’S
Glasses most cheerfully.
C. 0. PRITCHARD, M. D.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7, 1366.
I very cordially recommend Prof. Jl. Bern
hardt to all who may require Glasses.
DeSAUSSUBE FORD, M. D.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7, 1866.
We have examined the Lenses of Professor
Bernhardt, Rnd consider them superior to any
we have scon. They are admirably adapted net
only to improve the imperfections of impaired
sight, but to relieve tho weariness of vision
which constant study produces. Many of the
Glasses are of new and ingenious contrivance.
We cordiatiy recommend the Prolessor to all
those who require scicn'ifio optical assistance.
H. 11. BIGNOR, M. D.,
JOHN L. COLEMAN, M. D.,
W. H. DOUGHTY, M. D.,
WM. 11. CLARKE,
GREGORY DUGGAN.
Augusta, Oa , Deo. S, 1866.
I have examined the Glosses of Dr. M.
Bernhardt, of Europe, and have tried them.
They are very remarkable for their beamy of
workmanship, and for their power to assist the
vision. Dr. M. Bernhardt has made Optics
the study of his life, nnd is evidently moat
thoroughly acquainted with tbe science.
He is a native of Berlin, Prussia, and has
studied there, but has for several years bceu a
resident of New York. The diseased and aged
will find great relief from tbe use of his Glasses.
I have >ecn numerous testimonials to the ex
cellence ol bis Glasses, and to bis skill as an
Optician, and I would recommend him to ail
whose vision is impaired either through age or
disease. JOSEPH R. WILSON,
Pastor First Presbyterian Church.
Savannah, Ga., Nov. 29, 1866.
I horehy certify that Mrs. Davenport has
been affected with Ainorousis for about two
months; it became almost complete. On the
2d of November last, according to my own
advice, she placed herself under the charge of
Dr. M. Bernhardt. Her vision has rapidly
improved. She can now read small print.with
ur without glasses.
JURIAH HARRIS, M. D.
I fully endorse what Dr. Harris has above
anid. W. N. WARING, M. D.
Savannah, Ga., Nov. 29. 1866.
Prof Me or M. Bernhardt, Optician and Oculist :
I obtcrfully state to you that a farther ac
quaintance with you and your most excellent
Glasses has confirmed my first impressions us
to your thill and tboir superiority over the
general run, and I recommend all whoso vision
is in any way impaired, as mine unfortunately
is, to avail themselves of your science.
Respectfully yours,
