To cover a soul full of sadness

To parody truth and affeefion,
Ot- lull a suspicion to rest.

Veriticd Prophecy— Prediction of John C.
Calhoun.
In 1837, John C. Calhoun, whoso perspicuity
was so wonderful that his pr ophecies have be*
coinc history, thus addressed the Senate of the
United States:
“ Be assured that emancipation itself would
not satisfy these fanatics ; that gained, the
next . tep would he to raise the negroes to a
social and political equality with tho whites;
and that being effected, we would soon find the
present condition of the two races reverse 1, I
speak with full knowledge and a thorough ex
amination of the subject, and for one* sec my
way clearly. One thing alarms rnc—the eager
pursuit of gain which overspreads tbe land,
and which absorbs every faculty of the mind
and every fueling of the heart. Os all pas*
sions, avarice is the most blind and compromi
sing—the last to see, and the first to yield to
pander. I dare not hope that anything I can
say will arouse Ihe South to a due sense of
datiger ; I fear it is beyond the power of mor
tal voice to awake it in time from the fatal
security into which it has fallen.’’
But that fiat of fate, steeped in the blood of
thousands, has come upon ns with a curse
more dreadful that the locusts and frogs of
Egypt. So much of the prophecy, then, has
been fulfilled. The social and political equal
ity of whites and blacks stare us in the face.
It may be forced upon us ; but has avarice
so absorbed “every faculty of the mind and
evety feeling of the heart,” that 'Virginians,
for paltry pelf, should don their own robes of
disgrace, that they should help reverse the
proud motto of the glorious Old Dominion,
and lick the tyrant’s foot which oppresses her
fair neck ? Can her sons have so degenerated
as, with voluntary hand, to place this stigma
upon her fair name? If our conquerors have
the power to force a -‘republican constitution
upon us, witli its damning principle of social
and political equality, they have neither the
power nor tbe right to compel us to degrade
ourselves by voting for it.
Home Paper.
We cut the following from the columns of
one of our exchanges, to transfer its sentiments
for the consideration and commendation of our
own readers :
What tells so readily tho standard of a town
a* the appearance of its newspaper, and its
youth or age ean as Well he de-ftnrd »s if obser
vation had been made. Tbe enterprise ol its
citizens is depicted hy its advertisements—she
liberality by the looks of the paper. Some
papers show a good, healthy, solid foundation,
plethoric purses, and well to-do appearance
generally: others show a striving to contend
with grasping thousands, trying to wrench out
an existence from the closo fisted community
around them. An occasional meteoric display
in its columns of lo- al or of editorial, shows
what it would do if it had the means, but can
not continue in the expensive work until the
support comes which ought to be readily granted.
A newspaper is like u church; it wants foster
in"-, and then as a general thing it can and will
reflect credit upon its location.
Take \our li-rne j.nper; it gives you more
news of immediate interest than the New York
or other distant city papers; it talks for you
when no others will speak in your favor; when
other localities belie you, it stands up for your
rights, you always have a champion in your
home paper; ar.d those who stand up for you
should certainly b# sustained. Your interests
are kindred awl equal. Therefore, it is ycur
interest and duty ti> support your home paper-

“The Itirlicst Boy in America.”
i'lto papers- are telling aluiut some hoy in
New England, now fourteen years of age, who
is supposed to he the richest boy in the Uni
ted States, because he lias a greut deni of mon
ey. To our mind the richest buy in America
is the one who is good hearted, honest, intelli*
gent, ambition*, willing to do and to do right,
lie is the one who loves his mother, and always
ha* a kind word for her ; who hues his sister
or sisters, and tries to help them, and who re
gards them with true affection. He is the Imv
who does not call his father tile “old man,’’
hut who loves him. speaks kindly to an I of
him, and tries to belp him ns tho hair# of old
age gather fast U|K>n his brow.
The viehest hoy i* tho one wire has pluck to
fight his destiny and the future. Ho is the
one who has the maolmod to tin right and be
honest, and who is striving to he soinebodv ;
who is above doing a mean notion : who would
n t tell a lie to screen KiiaselL nr ludruy a
friend. 11c is the boy who has n heart for
Others; whose young mind is full of noble
thoughts tor the future, and who is determin
ed to win a natno by good deeds, lie is the
one who is looking-forward to the time when
he can hare a wile—a dear, good girl—loved
by him with all tho depth of nature, and for
whom he will hilror to make a good home and
a goisl husband. This ia the richest hoy in
AHi er iew, Which one of our readers is it?
This Iroy wc like; wc would be glad to see ;
would like to take by the hand and tell him
to go on earnestly that success might crown
his efforts. And, if he is a poor l>oy, we
should meet him nt the threshold, bid him
enter, and give him good advice, well and
kindly meant. That other rich boy down in
New England wc don't care any thing about,
for there are fool# and snobs enough to wor

“Why?” returned G., “look at these boards ;
they are as full of sap as if they had been

“Then why don’t you have them kiln
dried ?”
“IVell, T would, but I hav'nt got time—got

“What will you give me to tell you how

The I-’riglitlul Punishment ol silt-rwe.
Mr. James Greenwood has published in
don a frightful account of tho silent system,
which is in operation at tho Ilolliway Model
Prison in L ndon:
It is *u o"Tonsi for a prisoner to speak one
word, and he is never addressed except in
whispers, so that Ire may he in prison for two
years without hearing tho natural sound of a
hutrial l voice. The effect of this is so terrible
on the mind that prisoners will speak out in
desperation, at tire risk of any punishment,
rather than etdnrc that horrible siUnce.
The prisoners never see on# another, but
remain in parpqtrial solitude. One poor
wretch, driven to desperation by nine month’s
solitude and silence recklessly broke out in
Mr. Greenwood's presence, in the*e words i—
“For God s sake, Go-ternor, put me in another
coll ! Put tne somewhere else ! I have coun
ted the bricks in the cell I am in, until my
eyes ache!”
The request of the tortured wretch was re*
fused.
There is a fine hole in each cell, and as the
warders wear shoes of India rubber soles, the
prisoner can never he sure he is alone.
Those condemned to the treadmill have to
ascend twelve hu idrel steps every alternate
twenty minutes for six hours. And this in a
place so hot and close that prisoners often lose
in perspiration throe stones in as many months. ,
Everv day the prisoners arc taken to a chapel
so arranged that they can see no one save the
chaplain, and him through an iron grating.
And this is tho nrdor of devotion observed :
“Warders are constantly on the watch, lest
for a single instant they, through the whole of
the service, depart from the rigid rule of
‘eves right.’ They must look steadfastly at
the preacher ; must raise and lower their pray
er-book with tho elbows squared, and all at
once, like soldiers at drill. They may not
scrap* their feet without having afterward to
explain the movement. They may scarcely
wink an eye, or sigh, without danger of rebuke
or punishment.” God help them, poor wretch
es!—Exchange.
In a trial for a t assault some years ago,
I>r. McK., in giving his evidence, informed
the court that on examining the prosecutor, he
found him suffering* with a severe contusion of
the integuments under the left o*Mt, with
great extravasation of blood and echynrosis in
the surrounding cellular tissue, which was in
n tumefied state. There was also considerable
abrasion of the cuticle.

P*F.#int\T Johnson’s Nominees not to he
ÜbNFtaweit. —A petition is being circulated In
the Ilonse of Representatives asking the Senate
not to confirm any t&ore nominations made hy
the President this session, whether they be
Republicans or Democrats. It has already re
ceived the signatures of nearly nil the Repub
lican members of the House, and it wHI, it is
expected, be laid before the Senate at it# next
Executive session, with the name of every
Republican in the House attached to it. It ia
said that thia movement bns the sanction of
Gcueral Grant, and was sturted by his particu
lar friend# tire lloUSe; The object is ti pre
vent the incoming administration frord being
burdened or embarrassed with tho appoint
ments of President Johnson. It is stated by
some here that the Senate will,, in accordance
with this petition, refuse to c irfirm any more
nominations that mny be sent in, and that
those now before it will be indefinitely post
poned.—[Washington Express.
Rancid Bitter. —To a pint of water, add
thirty drop* (about half a teaspoonful) of liquid
chloride of lime. Wash in this twoand a half
pounds of rancid butter. AVlren every particle
of butter has come in contact with the water
let it stand an hour or two ; then wash it well
in pure water. The butter iq then left without
any odor, and has tire sweetness of fresh butter.
These preparations of lime have nothing inju
rious in them.
We copy the above from one of our exchanges,
tbe editor of which «nys : “\Ye forthwith ob
tained some of the moat rancid butter, and bad
enough for any stomach that had more sensi
hiiitv than a wagon wheel. We doctored it as
per recipe, and whsh plac*d on the table atong l
with new good butter, very able judges could
n.rt distinguish which was the new butter.—

The Baltimore Sun says that some of tbe
leading London Journals are urging the estab
lishment of steamship lines with the Southern
ports of the Unite-1 State*, especially with New
Orleans and Charleston, in order not only to
secure a larger- proportion of the cotton trade,
but also to extend facilities to the Western
agriculturists, if they wish to sen-1 their grain
to Europe through its direct channel, the Mis
sissippi River. They discing the matter like
peopl# who “mean business.”

That must have been horribly p«or land
whereof, in a late squabble about payment
tln-refor, it was put in evidence that it wo*
“so poor that the very squirrels go about crying
all the fall frees use of the scarcity of f.xrd ;’’
and that a tnnn in that countiy declared “that
lie would not give fifty cents an acre for the
land, and that if a kildco grazed upon it, be
would get so poor that defendant would have
to let down the fence to drive them off the
wheat, for he would not he able to fly 1” Now,
this much is of record.
An inquisitive young man visited a
Prison, the other day, and among other ques

was arrested.’’ The young man left immedi

T he Women of the South.
The editor of the Lancaster, Pa., Intelligen
cer, who lies recently been on a Southern tour,'
writes thus of tlic women of the South !
“ Southern women havo not, as yet, become
enthusiastically fond of tho Union ; they were
tho most rebellious of rebels during the w _tt r »
tbe termination of which they viewed with the
most poignant regret. Had they controlled it>
destinies, we feel quite sure it would Ire raging
still. They made personal sacrifices for it
while it ln*t-.*l, a-nd were ready and anxious to
offer nfi all they possessed upon the altar of
their esuse. Thev would havo wished tha
fight to continue behind every bush, and would
bn-vo contested evCi y inch of Southern soil. A»
it is, t,bey have stifle rciF)mticb, Init they bear
their Misfortunes nobly. Wc know of two
la lies, daughters of an cx-U. S. Senator front
Virginia and a former ambassador at owe etf
tho first European (Irtdrc*. who were tbe beUatf
of the gay ertpitfil ti which their father wad
accredited, yet who to-,lay are uncomplainingly
earning their livelihood in Richmond at man*
tna making. Wc know of another lady, and
danghterofiine’oftheinostniieient and wealtfcy
daughter ofirnejofthe mostnneient and wealtfcy
families of the State, who is teaching school id
Richmond, and her daughter is cheerfully fiW*
ing tho position of governess. We might cite
many eases of this kind'. Yet they do not W*
pine at their misfortunes, nor regret tho atrog»
g?e whteh has thus redirect! them. On# lady
told me she thought their four years of inde
pendence of Yankoo rule was an arapl# com
pensation for all their sufferings; which w*>
thought, however, was stating tho ease quit#
us strongly as the truth Would warrant."
Speaking on tho sam# subject, the New Or
leans Times says: ,
“ The widow of on# of the most distinguished
of the Lieutenant Oenerals of the Confederate
armv, who, before tbe war, possessed great
wealth, and had been reared from infaoey W
the midst of every enjoyment and luxnry, tw
now a teacher in a young ladies’ school in thi#
city. We are glad to learn that the estimablrf
lady referred to Iras every encouragement to
persevere in her entirely new pursuit. Sh#
had already been protreded in the same c»re«r
by a near relative of Jefferson Davis, who, too,
has been made a widow by tho war, and throwW
on her resources for a support. Nevertheless,'
ant! despite her delicate organization and want
of previous training, this Indy set to work scf_
zealously to qualify herself for the duties tw
teacher that now she is at the head of one of
our most popular and successful school# for
young people in the First District. These ar#
only two of many similar examples of that tract
heroism which #o graccMly adapts itself to
the most violent changes of fortune, and in
stead of pining and wasting with sorrow over
the sad bereavements of tile past, confront#
and conquer-: the severest adversity by a noble
fortitude, constancy and courage.*’
Tire Conservative Virginians and Beast
Butler* <v m
Col. Baldwin, chairman, and other Con#err»
ntive Virginians, held an interview on Friday
with Genera! Butler, and the purport of tb#
conversation was as follows: The committee' {j
represented that they stood for the
nant Conservative sentiment of the Stats, a»4 „f
that they made, and wer# empowered tot ffMM
the tender ‘of universal suffrage fay 6#r uni
versal amnesty in good faith ; and they hoped
i that General Butler would approve their pur
pose and their plan* With--ut committing
himself to it, General Butler switched off and
complnined that his advioes from Virginia led
him to believe that landed proprietors wer#
unwilling to dispose of their land in sraalr
parcels, so as to give white and black men
a chance to buy small homes, or to obtain It
title in any of the soil. He was opposed
thi#; thought it anti-Republican, and would
extend no toleration to a State where eueh
things prevailed.'"" Colonel Baldwin simply
combatted this statement, saying that whif#
(and in Virginia was not disproportionately
held, even the' safe of it which was offereu
failed for want of any real capital in th#
State, and because affairs now consequent up*
on misgovernment repelled capital from the
State. General Butler reiterated with em*>
phnsis that the lands were held in vast tract#
and that proprietors refuse to sell. ll# said
that would make an Ireland of Virginia mocß
1 quicker than reconstruction would. Further*
more, he believed the refusal to sell lands rose
from a resolution to keep Northern men from!
Virginia, and from bringing ideas into the’
State, and to keep tho poor whites and the' ne
groes ns panpirs, and hence a manageable
class. Now, bo was always in favor of tbe
rights of tho workingmen. In L 352, in Low*
ell, the mill owners placarded that men voting
against them would be discharged. He retor
ted in a speech in behalf of the working-peo*
pie, that if a single man was discharged. so»
such a cause, all the mills wodW be bw#l
down. No man was discharged. Irt oonclte*
nkm, Gtneral Butler said that h# thought
Virginia had better be admitted under the'
Constitution a# it now was, and that any re*”
moral of disabilities could be made when It
was scerrhow the State behaved herself. The
interview then terminated.—[Cftr, New York
