Dr. Outlining, of Boston, one of the ablest and fairest of the many gifted men of the North,' sud thirty four years ago, that the great passion of the South was for political power, while the great pardon of the North was for money. We give his language in the contrast, which lie made, between the North and the South. ** The South,’’ said he, “ has abler politicians, and almost necessarily so, because its opulent class makes politics the bumness of life. * * In the South, an unnatural state of things turns men’s thoughts to political as. ccndency, hut in the Free States, men think little cf it. "Property is the good for which they toil perseveringly from morning to night. Even the ]>olitical partisan among us has an eye to property, and seeks office, as the best, perhaps, only way of subsis tence.’’ This is a pretty trank confession from a Northern scholar, that Northern politicians seek office, mainly, in order to make money thereby. It reads very mncli like prophecy in the revelations of the last few years of Credit Moliilicr, Emma Mine Stock, Seneca Stone Contracts, Whisky- Ring frauds, Pacific Mails subsidies, and sales ot Sutler’s posts, etc., etc But while Dr. Channing gave the distinction in the characteristics of the two sections with great fairness, he did not give the philoso phy of that distinction. We might still in quire why does the North covet money and the South political power ? We think that the solution of the problem is to he found in the density of the popula ion in tiic one section and the sparseness ot population iu the other, with all the modifying influence brought in by this difference of population. The North has devoted itself from necessity to commerce and tiic mechanic arts; the South has devoted itself to a pure agricul ture. In rural districts, there may be great stinginess and meanness, butgreed of money is not a prominent vice, and great wealth is almost unknown. The temptation is wanting, and therefore, the vice is not found. Literature and the arts and the sciences arc not cultivated to a high point JS. E. THRASHER, AZ202VYEY A 2 LA W, WATKINSV1LLE, GA.

If we come to the war of ;1812, Harrison and Jackson, beyond, alt question, gained the most laurels, *as shown % the elevation of both of them Jo the Presidency for their military prowess. All concede that the brilliant land-fights of that war were in the defences of New Orleans, Jtbhile, Craney Island and Baltimore, ami m these, on the American ride, none. but Southern troop* were engaged.. This war was unpopular at the North, and the defection of New England, amounted almost to overt treason. Hence, the South furnished again more than her proportion of .troops. Again, the Sontnern volunteers flocked North, while no Northern troops came South. If we read of -the bloody .batj^v in Canada, we are struck with the number of Southern officers there engaged, mostly General offi cers, .Wilkinson, lizard,' Winder, Drayton, Hampton, Scott, Towsgp, P- ookc, Gaines, 4c. Kentucky, I belie* Varnished mort troops than any State, for the'invasion o! Canada. On the authority of the Southern Review, I state, without investigating the truth of it, that Maryland furnished more of the Naval heroes of the war of 1812, than did any other State in the .Union. It is very certain that the Sonth contributed more than her quota of land troops. Not only was the war popular at the South, but the laboring class being slaves, more of the citizen soldiery were able to take up arms. For the same reason, the supplies in the Revolution and in the war of 1812, came largely from the South. Botta’s history shows how dependent the army, under Washington, was for supplies from Virginia and the South. In the Mexican war, the commanders, on bftth sides, were Virginians, one of whom became President, and the other an unsuc cessful candidate for the Presidency. Two- thirds of the volunteer troops forthat war were from the Sonth, and not Southern regiment ever Indtaved badly - in action. Two-thirds of the first brevet ap pointments, given for gallantry on the field, were bestowed upon Southeru-born officers. I allude to those first given, and not to the second or third hatch, procured through political influence. The volunteer Brigadier, most distinguished in that war, was Lane, of North Carolina. The volunteer regi ments that won mo-t eclat, were Davis’ Mississippi and Butler’s South Carolina. O N hand, Upper* for making Low Qnarei-, v erets. Alexis-Tie*. and Prince Alberts.

The second Adams was not the choice of the people, and was elected by the House of Representatives. Mr. Fillmore was elevated by the death of President Taylor. So up to the period of the new kind of voting, the people had really never elected but four Northern men to the Presidency. It is remarkable, too, that the people have repudiated the administration ot every Northern President, not one of them Ll ipg re-elected, and a different political rty always succeeding them in power, save in the case of Mr. Pierce, a Democrat, who was succeeded by Mr. Buchanan, a.soa Democrat. On the other hand, five South ern Presidents were re-elected, and all of them were succeeded by Presidents of the same political faith, except perhaps Mr. Polk, who was succeeded by Gen. Taylor, upon no party platform. The country en- dorsad Polk’s administration and did not repudiate him, as he declined a renomination. Another curious fact is this, that every Northern President had associated with him a Southern man, as Vice-President. Thus John Adams had Thomas Jefferson; Johu Quincy Adams had J. C. Calhoun; Martin Van Buren had R. M. Johnson; Pierce had Wm. R. King; Buchanan had J. C. Bracks inridge. On the other hand, Jackson served one term with J. C. Calhoun, Harrison and Tyler, his associates, were both from Vir ginia, and Lincotu and Johnson were both from the South. Of these same 80 years, the South had a Chief Justice on the Su preme Court Bench for 63 years, or more than thiee-fourtbs of the time. The purity and wisdom of these Southern Justices made them the pride of the nation. All the wars, foreign and domestic, have been under the conduct and control of Southern horn Presidents; the war of 1812; the Algerine war; the Black Hawk war; the Seminole war; the war of the second rebellion. All the acquisitions of territory have been under Southern Presidents by which the size of the United States has been doubled; Louisiana, Florida, Texas, New Mexico, California and Alaska. The New England States resisted all tiiese acquisitions except the last. Thu political studies of the South all led to freedom and Southern statesmen have always been on the side of popular right*.

This Southern leaven leavened the whole lump. The Supreme Court was incorruptible and not ns now, a (artisan body. The Senate was more dig nified than the English House of Lords. Schemes of public plunder were not devised and executed in the House of Representa tives. No one was ever charged with selling his vote for money. No Foreign Minister prostituted his office to sell Emma mine stock or Sally mine stock. So for as I can remember, only one fraudulent claim on a large scale was ever attempted and upon its exposure by Col. Payne of North Carolina, the fraudulent claimant killed himself with Prussic acid. The South is gradually getting rid of the ruffian scum, who have so long plundered and disgraced her. The voices of some of her sops are being heard in the Halls of Congress. We trust that the time may uot be far distant when the influence of South era statesmanship will be felt in the councils of the nation, rebuking bribery and roguery, elevating the publio morals and purifying the Government. To effect these great ob jects, we must send forward our best nten, not firewaters and braggarts, we confess that we had a few of that class, but hot shot and shell reversing the order of nature cooled their fiery temperaments.

Jennie Johnson went flying down stairs at tho ring of the door bell. “ It’s a tele gram,” she said to Melissa, on returning. ‘I knew Hopper’s ring—Hopper’s th<- Messenger.’ * Not a telegram for me I hope,’ said Melissa, looking upfront her work. ‘Ido hate the sight of one; they always set my teeth on edge, aud make the hair of my flesh sta d up. You don’t think anything has happened to to Ledyard ?’ ‘ Certainly not; it’s addressed to Led yard.’ * And you are opening it ?’ * lie gives me permission to read his tele grams when he’s oat of town, so that I may forward them if important. You’ll hav that pleasure whon you are married I sujp pose.’ Aud then Jennie relapsed into utter silencc for full t it minutes, while Melissa fidgeted aud coughed and wondered what it was all about, too proud to tusk until anxiety constrained iier. ‘Something must have happened to Led yard, I snow,’ she cried. ‘ Whv don’t you speak, Jennie ? Wh • do you look so—so distracted? Let me read it It is my right, Jeuuie!’ ‘Yes,’ said Jennie, slowly, ‘it is your right,’ but I wouldn’t read it, if I were you ‘Not read 1 Do yon think I am selfish enongli to spare myself so weakly ?

I hope I am not doing wrong to allow it. And Melissa read : To Dr. Ledyard Johnson: Dearest—My pareuts consent at last. Come to ine before my heart breaks, if you still love your Emilie. Melissa put it down without a tremor. Jennie dared not look at her. 4 1 must go home,’ said she, with a voice as hollow as the whispers ot a sea shell, ‘ of course.

Dr. Ledyard had been expected home that night, but after Melissa had departed Jennie received a note saying that he shotdu be detained for a week or more and not mention ng Melissa, as her visit. had kep scccct from, him, Jennie intending a sur prise. When they heard his ring, Melissa was to step behind the statue of Ariadne, and while Ledyard warmed his hands o the b:aze at the hearth and dilated on the Measures of home, hinting that there was •ut one delight lacking, that one delight in the -shape Melissa was to step from the shadow of Ariadntf into the warmth of fire light and embracing arms So the little drama that Jennie had planned failed oi performance, and when Ledyard’s note arrived, she enclosed Em lie’s tolegTam to his address, having written on tho other ride of the sheet: Melissa has been visiting iiere. We in tended a pleasant surprise for you instead of which there was an ugly contretemps. She left instantly. Your sorrowful sister. Jennie. But in her agitation, Miss Jennie, who was always just a hit careless, though lcinu hearted enough, directed her letter to East instead of West Babylon street, Jnumber nne instead , of ninety, and therefore—it being prior to tho present postal arrange* menu, which returns a miscarried^letter to the original writer at the expiration of a few weeks—Dr. Ledyard J hnson never received it. Judge his surprise then, when, having written to Melissa in his usual vain, his love letter was returned to him un opened 1 I should like just to know what he sayi about it’ Melissa had pleaded; ‘how hi excuse^ himself’ Having utterly resigned him, site was just dying for one word of affectionate apology and appreciation. Jin her own heart she had already excused him, had pieced up a sentimental story for his apology. He bad loved Emilio first, but a cruel lather interfered; then ho had me, Melissa herself, and had fancied she could romance; but her mother, who itmidi-stood human nature and the ways of the w.irld better—to whom romance was a dead letter said ‘ no, dear; it will only |irobe the wound ; it will do no good better return unopened, as he deserves; thei e is > o excuse possible ’ And being a high mind, d woman, who .-dways carried her point, the letter was returned. t)r. Ledyard posted down to Dnverby in* stoutly to inquire into the affair and was told that Melissa had left town, and her mother was indisposed she having set t Melissa away on a visit to divert her mind. At his wit’s end Ledyard wrote on his card, * Will Mrs. Vaughn give me Melisda’a ad dress ?” To which she replied: Under the circumstances, Mrs Vaughn thinks it wise to withhold her daughter’s ad* sf’OnDr. John.-’n, and she is greatly surprised at his importunity—</«>• all. Fairly puzzled, and uot a little angry, Dr. Ledyard returned to town. He had no heart or people did-not die needlessly, though v he was dying by inches himself. He knew that it was not a grief to kill outright, but it threatened to be a lifelong anguish. He had long known that the ambitious Mrs. Vaughn did not regard him as a brilliant match for her beautiful daughter; but that Melissa could disown her love was incompre hensible. It would he a sorry Christmas for him, . deed, but he thought it best to leave his patients in the hands cf his assi a •<*, and run down to Haven to keep it witu Jennie. When one has lost a sweetheart, a sister is, perhaps, the next best thing. But he found Jennie somewhat changed, too; she was by no means in her sprightly vein; she had nothing for him but half smiles. He wondered, secretly if jJ e had ever expet fenced a like dissatisfaction with life, of which he had never dreamed before. They were an uncommunicative family, he knew, and sisters and brothers much more readily repose sentimental confidences in straneere than each other. To be sure, Jennie hail hutig the Christmas wreaths in the window. There was a goodly store of dainties in the pautry, too._ Bui there was little of Christmas cheer besides, though the frost was on the window pane, the old church hells sainted the Christmas eve with crocked, hut jubilant voices, and the moon iva* rising overhead as it rose over Pallistine when first the song of * Peace on earth good rill towards men.’ was heard, whose echo till vibrates across the dusty centuries Dr. Ledyard stood before the blaring hearth, thinking what a different night it. might have been had Melissa continued true; wondering what she was doing; if the firelight still flushed her cheek in the low pallor; if she and Lennox March still sung together sweet Christmas choruses. He was thinking thus bitterly, when a sharp ring at the aoor started both brother and ister from their reveries. ‘ Hopper’s ring,’ said Jennie. She had never exchanged word with Ledyard about the telegram. If he did not choose to men tion it and explain why should should she? How could she? She hail not the courage. But sitting there, it struck her that he was locking worn and depressed, and it was oo her lips to say something comforting, when the little servant entered with a little enve lope. - A telegraph doctor, said she.’ I hope they havn’t called me back to the city—no urgent case I trust. Humph; poor thing, poor thing,’ and he tossed the telegram upon the table. ‘Isanyone ill?* said Jennie. ‘Must you go?’ ‘ Oh no; it’s the same old story. Read it if you wish. Jennie took it and read— 7b Dr. Ledyard Johnson: Dearest—My parents consent to it at last. Come'to me before my heart breaks, if you still love your Emilie. Then she looked up at Ledyard, who seemed to have forgotten all about it. He was still standing before the fire, looking at the picture of the ‘ sleeping Palace,’ hanging over the mantle. That’s a capital thing Jennie; do you know it? One would think the artist had visited the sleep shops. It’s the genuine blue sleep. See this old senescual, who was about to blow his trumpet when the enchant ment siezed'him, with his two cheeks dis*- tended. And there comes the fairy prince with a feather in their hats ?’ • But the telegram P gasped Jennie'. •The telegram? " Oh, yes. Sad isn’t it?’ Oh, ii’s the same; the very same. Then you have seen it before I thought t was probable. She’s as mad as a March ■are, you see but quite harmless. She’s one >f my hospital patients, you know. She had i lover they say, whom iter father dismissed, - and it afiected her reason. She look a fancy to me from the first, imagines I am ..the young man in question—it’s plain shej has forgotten his uame- and every little^Vfblle she gives the keepers a slip and telegraphs t» me. Pour child, she must be fifty years •■Id, at least. There’s a heart wound for vou. Jeuuie what’s tbe matter dear? It su’t a nice story for Christmas eve.’ ‘O, it is the best story I ever heard—the very best, she cried, rising and stretching out her arms to a charming apparition in the The deuce you say. Y. Herald. 1 doorway—or could it. be Melissa Vaughn, a raped in ermine and crowned with smiles ?’ * I heard ever word of it.’ said the phan- ora of Melissa; ‘so much for eavesdrop' ping; but then, to be sure, it was ah old story. I bad heard it before. Dr. Right- alion is ray godfather, you know—Godfathers always bring gifts in the fairy books. So this morning at breakfast we happened to be talking of insauity and by the way, Melissa’ said he, ‘there’s a rival’of yours at tbe Guinness Hospital. Thera’s an Emilie St. Raymond in love with your Dr. Johnson— sends him telegrams by the armful of the lovingest sort. It’s lucky you aren’t jealous; but bless me she’s as mad as Hamlet—been so this twenty years—perfectly harmless, though.’ Do yon know Ledyard she pur sued, coming toward him and putting out her hands ‘Ieould’t spsak a word. The tears just filled my eyes, thinking how I had sentenced you without a hearing. Don’t they look terrible red? 1 . They look terrible beautiful, he said, kiss* ing the bent brow. It seemed to him that he was beginning to see through the fog. ‘ And mamma,’ continued Melissa, * who is hard upon evil doers, but kind hearted withal, said I must run right down this Christmas eve and make it straight through Jenuie—for we thought you were at Babylon street still—and she is waiting in the hall hoping you will forgive us. • I will go and help her to take off her wraps,’ sata Jennie, leaving the lovers alone. And so the curtain falls ? Nay, rises re- weaving a happy Christmas eve in the store for I)r. Johnson and Miss Vaughn. §8. a - 'So “ Schenck is going back to England/ 5
