Waihington’s Birthday Nsrtioasl holidays are of little conse quence to all now. We are adjudged, not only to be out ol the Uuios, but out of tbe glorious influence of political independence altogether. Wbst be hooves it, then, if we celebrate the National holidays ? They have no influ ence upon the actions of the people or upon rulers, and, are therefore, scarcely worthy of note. Still, custom often requires some observance of them, and printers need holidays as well as other classes—nay, more—hence we shall issue no paper to-morrow. Let us hope that the good deeds and the patriotic words of the Great Father of American Independence may come back to the Northern people to-day like some gentle spirit of good, aud shume them out of the great error which their representatives have committed. A repeal ot the obnoxioas law, wotiid be a more fitting observance of the Birthday of the Father of his Country. Sherman's Bill. Sherman’s Bill, introduced in the Senate as a substitute ior Stevens’ Military Bill, has passed both Houses of Congress, and is now in the hands of President Johnson, awaiting his signa ture. He will veto it, and then it will pass both Houses over his veto, and so become the law of the land. It is the parting blow at Republicanism ; and that system of Government, cradled in Rome and Greece, nurtured iu Venice and Switzerland, and matured iu the land of Washington, is today an effete system—a thing of the past —“ a school •boy’s dream, the wonder of an hour.” No grander ruins will be found than those of the Temple of Liberty, reared by the hand* of Washington, Franklin, and Jefferson, and torn to the ground by the hands of Stevens, Sumner, and Sherman. In vain will they be sough t among the ruins of the Acropolis, of Thebes, of Baalbec, or Palenque. Here tbe wanderer In future years will pause and wonder at the suicidal deed. Here ■will he exclaim, ‘‘This was once the land of Freedom, the home of the op" pressed from every dime, the asylum for the wretched victims of tyranny everywhere. This was once the grand est Nation that the sun ever shone upon, with monuments of greatness und glory such as the world had never before seen. To-day, alas 1 , how changed; these scattered columns, these crumbling walls, these ruined battle ments, all tell tlio story of human folly? of human fanaticism, of human wicked ness. To-day Liberty crouches back, appalled and trembling, seeking safety and an abiding place only in the fort resses of the Pyrentiees, which over shadow and protect the little Republic of Andorra, or in the gorgfes ol the Appenines, where, under the shadow of the Papal Throne, nestles the other little Republic of San Marino. These are so small and insignificant that the hand of tyranny does uot care to reach them aud destroy them. In America it has succeeded. What the next step will be, Heaven only knows ; and from its terrors Heaven protect us ! What can we do to avert the evil ? Nothing I Conquered, ruined, power less, we can only submit to the fate that awaits us, trusting to thatjust Providence, before whose awful Power, the wicked ness of Governments, as well as the wickedness of individuals, must one day succumb in woe and desolation. Pas sing now through the crucible of trial and suffering, let us not despair; but yielding to the fate awarded us, With the best grace "possible, trust to that Providence to lead us safely through the desert of our troubles to the Prom ised laud of peace and safety. The day of bondage and tribulation cauuot last always. It must close at last; and perhaps when the bitter cup which we are drsruiug is lasted by the oppressors of our people, they will enforce our de liverence from tyranny and disgr|cc. For this Sherman bill will not only des troy the South, but it will drag with it into the slough of ruin and desolation the North itself. The two sections, in one common Union, are too closely united in interest not to suffer from each other s woes. If our resources are cut off and crippled, the North will feel it almost as severely as we will. If our liberties are curtailed, their’s will he some day; for the power which can destroy a Southern Slate can also destroy a Northern State, and it will do it,too, whenever the opportunity arrives. If our people nre steeped in poverty, their capital will be idle, and their mer chants and workmen will become poor. Our interests arc too similar to permit a measure like this to stand long. When its effects begin to he felt at the North, then Ihcre will be a clamor for iU repeal, and a clamor that will compel rutmis* sion. This is, perhaps, what Revcrdy John son alludes to, when, in voting’ for the bill, he said that “he saw in it a mode of rescuing the country from tbe perils which now threaten it.” , Hoping that he may he correct, yield ing submission loßhe lows, and derotiug ourselves to the interests of our section, and with a firm and abiding trust iu Divine Providence, the country may yet be "rescued from the perils which now threaten It," or st least, we msy be bet ter able to bear the troubles which are to bo pat upon an unfortunate and un happy sectiou. . .

It and the Cyclopedia should have a place in every Mason's Library, where they will be useful and ornamental. The Alleged Lawlessness at the South. Editor of the Daily Press : All those who have advocated the passage of Thad. Stevens’ Military despotism bill, have done so for the avowed pur pose of putting the only effective check to the lawless acts, and atrocious crimes which the people of these States are daily committing with impunity against all Union men and freedmen. And many of those who opposed the bill admitted that it was necessary to do something to repress and punish onr violence ; although they did not think that it was necessary to overthrow'civil government, and establish a military despotism. They acknowledged the existence of the disease, but differed as to the remedy. They thought a good deep cautery would do instead of ampu tation. Whether these members of Congress have allowed themselves to be deluded by the infamous falsehoods of vagabond negroes like Bradiey, of the hired letter writers, whose pay depends on their ready invention of murders and mutila tions of loyal men and Africans by rebels, whenever the political situation calls for a stimulant to animosity against us, or of the Lost of Federal agents, whose occupation would be gone were they to represent ns ,as peaceful and law observing citizens, or whether they repeat the untruth knowing it to be such—it is plain that the Northern people who have no other opportunities of judging us, but what they derive from their public men and news; apers, are now convinced that titiz;ns *u. Northern States, Southern loyalist and negroes, have no protection what ever ia this section, either tor their per sons, or their property ; that they are continually murdered, robbed, an 1 beat en in all these States ; that public opin ion sanctions aud approves the outrages, and that the local magistracy refuse re dress to the accusers, and use then power to shield the criminal. We know that all this is shamefully, cruelly untrue; that it is deliberately fabricated iu order to persuade the Northern people that the violent dis union measures of their representatives are justified by our lawlessness, and to thus induce them to consent to the un scrupulous party schemes by which the Radicals are striving to perpetuate their power. But the masses of Northern voters, the real sources of political power, honestly and sincerely believe the stories which are told them by their leaders and their press. We have no one to represent us in whom they will believe. A Democratic paper here and there, or a Democratic member of Congress now and then, will utter a fceblo protest against the wholesale accusations pre ferred against us, but their denial is at once drowned in the din of denuncia tion of copperheads and rebel sympa thizers by which they are assailed, and the belief in our atrocious guilt take% deeper root. AVe see ourselves daily accused of these outrages, aud we never take any steps to defend ourselves. “What’s the use of trying to expose the Yankee lies ?” says one. “I’d see them at the first, before I’d take the trouble of de fending myself against «nch falsehoods,” says a second. “The less we say or do the better ; contradiction only pro vokes gretter malignity and renewed misrepresentation,” says a third. Thus while we indulge our laziness, gratify our pride, or consult our mistaken views of prudence, our silence is construed as a plea of guilty to the charge, aud pub lic opinion of the North! pronounces judgment by default. With truth on our side, and still pos sessing the liberty to speak and write and protest, we should expose the slan- der of which we aro made the victims, and use all the moans at our disposal to save ourselves bom the terrible pen alties with which we »re threatened. Let the judges of every circuit, the magistrates of every county, the sheriffs, constables, ordinaries, ami other State and county officers, address the Gov ernor as to the condition of the county within their sevcriH jurisdictions,'having especiul reference to-the alleged cruelty to negroes aud persecution of loyal men ; let them invite all who have any cause of complaint, to coine forward and state the grounds, in order that investigation mvy be had, and let the facts be set forth in tho report, aud let the Gov- ernor Ire requested to forward copiM of there report* to the President,'with such remarks a* he may think proper to make. In addition to this, let commu nities meet and protest agaiust these false accusation*. Let them challenge accusation, and specially invite the pretence of the Bureau Agents and others who miarepreaent them, aud let the proceedings of these meetings be published, and copies forwarded to leading men at the North. Should one ot the lie-making vaga bonds be exposed, the wholo fabric of calumny will soon crumble. Impunity, lias emboldened them, and given a wider scope to their disgusting fancy. Let one of them be nailed to the coun ter, and tbe whole issue will rapidiy fall iuto discredit. These falsehoods are originated by hired emisarics to serve purty interests, but they are credited by millions who have no sympathy with the objects of that party, und no desire to injure or oppress the South. Within the* last month I have received severs! letters from Northern meu of influence and po sition, who.evidently believe that we kill and maim and plunder Union meu and negroes, wheuever the fancy takes us, and that there is no law enforced to in terfere with this peculiar way we have of getting up a little excitement. “I am really glad,” writes one, “to learn what you state in reference to the tem per and disposition of yonr people, but I can assure you that several individ uals who have lately travelled in the South, represent a totally different condi tion of affairs, and say thatit is hardly safe for a Northern man to travel anywhere in the Southern States.” “ You write of course, what you believe,” writes another, but though you do not know it, Union men are persecuted and ne groes inhumanly treated all over th*e South. It is impossible that the mass of evidence which is collected here, is all untrue.” The Radicals have been assiduous and ingenious in iorming this public opinion. Relying on this they know that they can carry out their policy of oppression. Change this opinion by exposing the falsehood upon which it is based, aud we shall soon have “ the re vulsion at the North” which we have expected so long. But we must exert ourselves. Let all our people join in proving the infamy, the cowardly cruelty of the talse witnesses on whose suborned testimony wo are condemned and pun ished . Xylojc.
