Our Duty.
We would hare been gratified if we
of the Sooth could have ignored politics
altogether; but that was, and is, au im
possibility. We could not, and cannot
avoid taking au interest in political
affairs which concern us so closely as
do those of the United States. Our fate
is in the hands of the ..Northern people ;
and whatever they do in regard to the
South or to the Union, must effect
that fate for good or for evil. Hence,
while our people very wisely ab
stained from all interference or ac
tive participation in political nffairs,
they could not shut their eyes to events
that were transpiring around them ; and
neither could the Press of the South
observe silence on the subject. It is its
duty to keep the people posted in regard
to everything that concerns them, and
in the performance of this duty, it be
came necessary not only to state what
was going on, but to endeavor, by calm
and considerate argument, to endeavor
to soften the aspirations of the hour, and
turn aside the wrath of our enemies.
This duty, the press of the South, with
but few exceptions, has fully and fear
lessly performed ; and because it has
failed to accomplish anything of good,
it does not necessarily follow that it has
erred.
Now, however, a change has taken
place; and we can no longer do good
in the discussion of politics. A fate
more severe than that of Ireland, or
Poland, or Hungary, seems to await us;
and we can only fold our arms in par
tial resignation, awaiting that time when
a just Providence will lead us out of the
lund of bondage to peace and security.
Avoiding everything that can exaspe
rate our rulers, yielding a prompt obe
dience to military orders and regula
tions, and devoting ourselves as far as
possible to the development of our re
sources, we may lessen to some extent
the weight of the burthen which has
been imposed upoa us. For we must
remember that it is not alone men who
have to suffer, but innocent women and
children ; and, for their sakes, we must
make our condition as easy as possible.
Perhaps something may soon arise to
relieve us of the burthen, and restore
the Union, as it was, and as it ought to
lie. Let us be prudent, patient and
hopeful.
Business.
It is highly probable that, in the pres
ent unsettled state of the country, busi
ness in the South will be greatly depress
ed ; and yet at the North, the passage of
the Sherman Stevens Sheliabarger Bill
does not seem to have such an effect.
Gold has not changed, and trade seems
to move smoothly along in its accustomed
chaunels. If this condition continues,
and our military governors are men of
sound discretion and good judgment,
much may be done to restore confi
dence, and keep our business affairs in
a prosperous condition. Iti furtherance
of this object, however, there ought to
be more facilities in our Southern com
munities for the advancement of mer
cantile and other interests. We have,
heretofore, suggested an increase ol
banking capital; and we still hold to
the opinion that if the proper steps were
taken, that increase could be secured.
The suggestion has been made for
Charleston ; and we are satisfied that it
is cqnally applicable to Augusta. But
if this should be impracticable, our
merchants might advance small
amounts to surrounding planters to
enable them to secure labor and imple
ments for the working of crops for the
approaching season. If they will not
do it, other communities will, and much
trade will thus be lost to our City.
Another suggestion has been made,
that our friends at the North organize
associations, and loan money to South
ern agricultural, mechanical, and
mining interests. This is a good sug
gestion, too, and we commend it to the
Northern people.
Thb Shok Tbade.—The Boston Trav
eller, of Friday, says :
The boot nnd shoe trade continues
dull, and is likely to continue so. There
are a few customers in town, but they
arc purchasing quite sparingly. Thu
prices have declined, and many of the
recent sales have been at less than cost
to the manufacturers, but they could
probably be replaced at the prices ob
tained, as there has been a decline in
the price of stock. The supply of hoots
aud shoes on Rand is smaller than usuul
at this season, nnd the prospects for
the spring trade me so poor that manu
facturers are doing but little. Large
numbers of workmen tire idle, and
some of them have been lor two or
three mouths. There is not much
positive suffering ns yet, but many
t<mi!ies have much solicitude for the
future. _

A Tuneful Youth.
In a neighboring city there dwells a
“young fellow” who, says a lively jour
nal published at that place, has been
“ enjoying the magnificent sleighing."
The “jingling bells,” the “ tempestuous
whirl” of the ride, the “ drooping lash
es,” the clustering curls” and ‘‘amorous
flashes” have so wrought on tho young
gent's brain, that he sings as one whose
eyes had enjoyed a “ vision beatific,”
and whose soul had been drowned in a
rapture beyond the “ bliss of dreams.”
Listen to his strain :
“ Os all the joys vouchsafed to man
In life’s tempestuous whirl,
There’s naught approaches Heaven so near
As sleighing with a girl.
A rosy, laughing, buxom girl;
A frank, good-natnred, honest girl;
A feeling, flirting, dashing, doting,
Smiling, smacking, jolly, joking,
Jaunty, jovial, poser-poking,
Dear little darling, with a red hat and white
feather, who snuggles right up against
yonr waistcoat and lets you assist her in
holding her muff,
Who laughs at you a mouth of power—
A dear little duck of a girl.
Pile up your wealth as mountain high,
You sneering scoffiug churl,
I’ll laugh as I go dashing past,
With my jingling bolls and girl.
The brightest, dearest, sweetest girl;
The trimmest, gayest, neatest girl;
The funniest, fiusbest, frankest, fairest,
Roundest, ripeist, roguesbist, rarest,
Spookiest, spiciest, squirmiest, squarest,
Host of girls, with drooping lashes,
Half concealing amorous flashes,
Just the girl for a chap like mo
To court, and love, and marry, yon see—
With rosy check at and clustering curls,
The sweetest and the best of girls.”
Has it pretty bad, hasn’t he?
To the Citizens of Augusta.
A number of gentlemen ot this City,
coming together on a recent occasion
as managers of festivities, the object of
which was simply the enjoyment of those
engaged in them, have bethought them
selves of forming an organization more
lasting and with broader purposes than
those they at first contemplated. Tr»
those gentlemen, originally cor > post* •
the organization, others have
themselves, and ladies have gir 1 1
invaluable assistance. The n .- ■
sumed by the asaoemtton in nll r.-
and as hoping rather than promt
do some good, is the “Benevoh-n jl®j(
ety of Augusta.” Its purpose: e
other than those its name ind :
members desire to do somelhi
viate the sufferingaud tosupply
of the unfortunate and indigent generally
in our midst, and also to devote por
tions of the funds they hope to raise to
particular objects of benefaction. In
selecting the means hy which to raise
funds, they have considered that auster
ity wa3 not a necessary ingredient of
good works, and that offerings would be
none the less valuable to their recipients
for procuring at the same time a degree
ot innocent enjoyment to the donors.
They determined, therefore, to give
a scries of entertainments, the prime
object of which would be to raise funds
for charitable purposes, but which, at
the same time would make return to
some extent to contributors for their
generosity. The scheme at present en
gaging the efforts of the society, us the
means of raising funds, is the giving of a
dramatic entertainment, tableaux and a
concert, and procuring the services of
two or more attractive lecturers. The
order in which these entertainments are
to be given is not meant lo be indicated
by the order in which they are here
named. Notice will be given of
each, and of tiie purposes to which
the proceeds of each are to be applied.
The society begs the support and en
couragement of the charitable in its
general purposes, and in the particular
means it has chosen for their further
ance. All it can do will be, in compar
ison with the wide spread evil, at best
but little.

“Griffith Gaunt—Views of Lan
guage-
George D. Prentice, Esq., of the Lou
isville, |Ky..) Journal, thus takes issue
with Chas. Reade, Esq., author of Grit
fith Gaunt, on the signification of -the
word “plagiarism.” We are inclined to
think that George has rather the better
of Charles on this point. Hear him :
Mr. Charles Reade, having lately pro
posed to the world anew name for an
an old thing, now proposes anew thing for
old name. Replying in a public letter
to the charge of plagiarism, Mr. Reade
says: “‘Let me add that to plagiarize
is to borrow from a homogeneous, not
from a heterogeneous source.” We are
constrained to say that this will never
do. To plagiarize, Mr. Reade, is not to
borrow from any source, but to steal.
“Convey, the wise it call,” which is quite
ns good as “borrow”; but “the wise,”
whether headed hy Pistol or Reade, are
not the arbiters of language. To pla
giarize is not to “convey” or to “borrow”
but to steal. So it is writien.
As to Mr. Reude’s distinction be
tween conveying or borrowing from
a homogeneous and heterogeneous
source, we need only say that theft
depends not on the character of the
owner of the property taken, but on the
motive of the taker. If, for example,
a novelist takes any portion of the
writings ol a poet or historian or philos
opher, with the iutentiou of depriving
the author of the credit which belongs
to him, the novelist plagiarizes just as
much as he would plagiarize if be in
like manner should take auy portion of
the writings of another novelist. Tho
heterogeneonsness of the source does
not change the feloniousness of the
appropriation. Mr. lteude might as
well say thu( to steal is to appropriate
what belongs to one of your own pro
fession,, not what belongs to one of
another. A novelist may plagiarize
from a poet or historian as well as a
hatter may aleal from a shoemaker or a
tailor. Mr Reade, without knowing it,
has beeu writing pare nonsense.
The author of ‘‘Griffith Gaunt” is
belief at Wining alliterative phrases
than at defining established words.
Calling demure rakes prurient prude*
was very well ; but denning plagiarism
as ■borrowing from a homogeneous source
will never do in she world. Let the
phrase-monger stick to his jingle.

It is stated, authentically, that Ex-
Governor James Johnson has at last

The store of Mr. Oldham, in Madi
son, was entered a few nights ago by a

pistol, of which he was so proud that
lie showed it among those who recog

What High Culture Will Do.—
The South Carolinian relates an in
stance in which the wife of one of the
Chancellors in Marlboro’ district set
apart a quarter of an acre of the veget
able garden to Cotton, and cultivated it
with the house domestics. She made,
in spite ol the unfavorable season, nine
hundred and eighteen pounds ot Cotton,
or an average of nearly three bales to
the acre. What better illustration could
be offered that the true policy of our
pl*> ters is to make up for the scarcity
10, labor by high culture. A proper
application of artificial manures will
make our thin and impoverished lands
ill.to a garden in jiroducl^veness.
