A Word to Young Hen.
'Hie tocsin of war is heard no more in oorland.
The bloody str fe is ended. Our young men are
no longer called from fathers, mothers, and pleas
ant homea, to meet political foes. Lile is no longer
endangered by cannon, hall and bomb ; and vet
another enemy—one which, according to statistics,
has sent four millions of our race into—not a pa
triot’s—but a disgraceful grave, within.the la.-t
twenty years, confronts them.
What a monster enemy to our race is Intem
perance I For scores of years the efforts of the
good and philanthropic evert where, to extirpate it
from the land, have been unavailing. It, hasover
ridden the pulpit, the press, and the benevolent
societies that have been organized to battle against,
it And yet it is upon the increase. Since the
termination of the late terrible war, we find it ev
everywhere—in citv, town and county—among old
and young. The heart, sickens at the thought that
with all our other difficulties, we are to he cursed
with the baleful influences of intemperance ! If
we could save our voting men from becoming
drunkards, there would be some hope for the
country. Will they—the young—the hnpe of the
nation, listen to the following reasons for aban
doning forever the use of ardent spirits ?
Ist, The use of it will do von no good. It, will
not inerease voar proper!v, but will add to yenr
povertv. I »i!’ no' invigorate votir hoilv or yr.nr
mind, for p’tvstcians tell no it contains no more
nourishment than fire and lightning. I' wifi not
increas" the number of mar respectable friends,
ror will it * • least purify or elevate taut affec
tions, nr lb vou for the endearrnenta of domestic
life Why, thin, will von, rational beings, cupab'e
of the pure*' etjovment, yield to a eu tom in no
respect useful, but rather the occasion of countless
mis-res 1
Again, the zse of a r ileat spiri's, hue a pervert
ing and debasing influence. Men excited bv ihig
poison, will sav and do things, which, under r> her
circumstances, they would abhor. They will slan
der, throw awav propertr, off nd mndestv, profane
gacred things and places, and indulge in the vilest
passions, abuse the nearest relatives, and cover
themselves and families with infamy. Those who,
by gaming or intrigue, rob others of their proper
ty, and those who allure the “simple” and unsus
peeting to the chamber of death and hell, as is
done in onr large cities, understand this deceitful
tendency of ardent spit its. The exhilarating glass
Is presented as their first enticement. “Just this
once," say thev, with insidious smile ; and so the
unwary are "canned ta fall bp little and little."
“She urged him rtill to fill another cup,
And ip the dark, still night,
When God’s unsleeping eve alone can see.
He went to her adultrous bed. At morn
I looked and saw him not among the youths :
I heard his father mourn, his mother ween ;
For Done return’d that went with her. The dead
Were in her house ; her guests in depth of hell;
She wove the winding sheet of souls, and laid
Them in the urn of everlasting death.”
Such is ever the certain tendency, if not alwavs
the fatal termination of the insidious cup. “Wine
is a mocker, strong d r ink is raging, and whosoever
is deceived thereby is not wise." The young
should remember that the habit of drinking, once
established, is extremely difficult to break off. This
is why there are so many indiriduals, even mem
bers of churches, so accustomed to drink that all
the remonstrances of conscience, the wailings of
the ruined, the authority of God, and the odi»m
of public sentiment combined, cannot now restrain
them. 0, could an angel speak to such m-n, he
would thunder with Paul, “ Ye cannot drink the
cup of the Lord and the cup of devilt." Let the
youth who now turn with shame from such exam
ples of inconais'encv and guilt beware of contract
ing a habit so hardening to the conscience, so dead
ining to the soul.
Young men, remember how it renders despised j
and degraded those who yield to such habhs. In
quire through the city or village for those who are
to polluted by vice as to he shut out from all de
cent society. Learn their history, and tou will
invariably find that the bottle has been their fre
quent companion. Enter their retreats of mid
night revelry, and you will still find that drink is
the ail absorbing diviuitv among them. Should
not the most decided reprobation beßiamped upon
that which is always found associated with the
lowest state of debasement and crime ?
The habit of temperance, closely allied to other
virtues, will secure for you the respect and confi
dence of tte best portion of the community, and
thus lend to your more extensive usefulness, as
well as prosperity and happiness. The youth who
comes up to the resolution of entire abstinence
forever, and persuades others so to do, gives evi
dence of moral courage, gives evidence that be
has the power of self-denial—gives evidence of
an intellect aod moral senae predominating over
appetite, and Belflsh.ieae, and the laugh of fools j
and such is the youth whom a virtuous and Intel—
igent community will delight to honor.
After next week we will give our readers a great
deal more reading matter. *
The Future of the South.
Since the black storm-cloud* ol War, which for
four years hung threatening over our devoted coun
try, have now passed away, we are permitted to
l< ok once mote into the bright, blue eky beyond,
tnd to seek for omen* of a belter and a happier
u'ure. During the oontinOAWca of the War we
would often picture to ourselves the condition ol
the country in the event of the failure of our
e use ; who was there that, did not shudder at the
f ightful prospect before him? The sense of hu
miliation and the degradation of defeat, the ruin
at and devastation of our homes, the many noble
lives lost, and constitutions shattered, and all for
nothing I Add to this the anticipation of trouble
from the sudden liberation of the slaves, a change
so fraught with dangers of vatious kinds that few
could contemplate it unappalled. And yet, we
have passed through all, comparatively unharmed.
For many months the country Ins exhibited sigus
of returning prosperity, aud il Providence will on
ly give us one good season for the crops, we shall
benohi an activity and hopefulness among out peos
pie such as, at one time, we never expected to see
again. While thousands of our people have seen
their property swept away by the scratch of the
pen, and arc vet smarting under the seuse of that,
i-justice; while others are mourning over the
wreck of their once beautiful homes, yet there are
few who can be said to Buffer for the actual nec
essaries of life, a>-d the worst that has happened
to most of us in this respect, is that we shall have
to begin life anew a task not very difficult among
such a people, and in such a country, as ours.
I hold it is an error that the success of the
American people iu agriculture, commerce, arts,
and sciences, is due rnaiuly to its constitution and
laws. I believe any form of government which
only guaranteed protection to life and property,
would have seen this nation prosper in precisely
the same manner that it has done. We areerro
neously taught to look continually to the Legisla
ture and Congress for some act to give ne'w impetus
to our prosperity. There is not a country on the
Globe which ling so many laws made for il it! fifty
years as are m >de here in one. A hundred years
hence, a lawyer or statesman will have a gigantic
task on his hands, when he undertakes to mister
all the laws of his country. At the preseut time
we are made to look with fear and trembling to
the doings of the Washington Congress, or rath
er the radical wing of it. lam confident that the
firmness and pa rio>i->ra of the President will have
the effect of breaking up that destructive element
in American politics, and that this struggle will
give birrh to anew conservative party organizi
tion which will have its ramifications in every cor
ner of the Uuion, wherever a lover of his country
can be found. With the formation of such a par
tv, we may look for a more national and fraternal
feeling among the different sections of the country,
and for less sectional legislation than heretofore.—
After this disitleratum shill have been attained,
and even without, ir, we shall see the Southern peo
ple rise by their own exertions and by the advtn
tages of their situation. I said above that the
prosperity of a nation is too often erroneously at
tributed to government and laws. I believe that
| if this country hud from the beginning been gov-
erned tinder the despotic sway of a Rusdin Czar,
we should find this people perhaps as prosperous
as they have brew, nav, I might sav the late War
would in all probability never have had any cause.
Why do not the Sou'll American republics make
1 more rapid strides in commerce, agriculture, and
all the arts of civilizuion f Their country and
natural resources are. in many respects superior to
ours, and vet. one western state of our lli ion
to -kes more rapid stiides in prosperity in fire years
I than those Spait’gh R-pub'ics do in twenty five.—
The difference is to be sought in the genius Os the
people. The Anglo-Saxon race, coming to this
country from England, and here amalgamated and
invigorated wirh the Celtic races of Ireland, Franc--
and Spiiin, has produced a type of the human race
the equal, or superior of which, the world has
never seen. Itsgjigintic mental sud physical en
ergies overleap bound tries and obstacles to other
impassable. No other race would in so short a
time have overrun and peop’ed such a continent.,
and ieft the impress of is gonitis oq all it grasped,
sttd all it undertook. Imagine this people trans
planted to a country like Brazil, whose noble
stream, the Amazon, has not as vet been agitated
by the piddle of a steamboat. That country i
posscssed of natural advantages superior to any
on both American continents; and yet it is but
thinly peopled; but who can doubt what change,,
Americans would produce in such a country in a
few years? I mike these remarks and compari
sons, not to induce emigration to South America
—far from it; but to prove that countries owe
their prosperity, not to this or that form of govern
ment, not this or that climate, or to a peculiar
kind of legislation—but to the spirit aud genius of
their people. Hence I wish to argue that all the
puny and contemptible class legislation uow at
tempted at Washington, which may, in part, per ■
haps, he carried through successfully by its Puritan,
vindictive and hypocritical advocates, will be unable
to keep down Southern energy and enterprise.
In times of peace, the prosperity of the Southern
planter depends upon the demand for cotton, sugar,
etc., and their price in the makets of the w orld.—
Washington legis'ation will control neither the
amount or quality of his productions, nor the price
he is to get for them when carried to market.. Un
less he hears of the doings of Congress through
the medium of the press, he will remain iu happy
ignorance of what his friends—the Sumners and
Sfevenses, et id omne genun —are doing for ot
agaiast him. Away, then, with all gloomy fore
bodings of future persecution from our Northern
enemies! Perilsps it would have been far better
for us, if we had shown less apprehension of their
power and malevolence in former limes.
One great benefit the South will detive from the
change in her system of labor, is to be found in
; the introduction of a greater diversity of putstiits.
, A people cannot be self reliant and self sustaining,
j if all its citizens are engaged in nearly the same
occupation. It isalread' apparent that towns are
being filled up ; and it will not be long before man
ufactures of all kinds will be set on foot. I think
the better class of disgusted with a sys
tem of labor unsuiled to their habits, will await
a favorable opportunity to convert their property
into cash iu order to pursue some other business
in town. Large uumhers, who heretofore encum
bered our towus, will now be enabled, wi h camps
ritivelj small resources, to settle on farms. The
tendency of this is that wealth aud enterprise will
congregate in towns, while hardy industry will re
tire into the country. It is thus we find it at the
North and in Europe ; who will sav that this is not
for the best interests of the largest numbers.
This increased diversity of pursuit will have a
most decisive aud beneficial effect upon the youth
of our coaotrv, bv opening for them the avenues
of useful and respectable employments, for the
want of which heretofore, most of our boys and
young men grew up iu idleness and worthlessness,
too often degenerating into vine and ruin. “The
hoy is the father of the man ;" our children wil
constitute the nation after we are gone; what bet
ter legacy, then, can we leave to posterity, than
the youth cf the present generation brought up
under the most favorable circumstances that will
develope in them the noblestand most praiseworthy
attributes of mao ? Altos

Affair* in North Georgia and Tcn-
The following, fr*>m the R me Courier of
the 20th, reveals a horrible state of affairs in
Northern Georgia. The Editor says :
In a recent trip through North Georgia,
we met with a responsible gentleman of Ca
toosa county, who represents a sad state of
affairs aloug the Tennessee line, from Chat
tanooga to Cleveland In the town of Har
rison, Tennessee, and throughout that sec
tio i of couutry, there i- a'vast number ol
low down men who claim to he intensely
loyal to the Fed- ral Government, and now
! make no concealment of the fact that they
are now stealing from “liebs,” so-called to
make good their losses during the war.—
Most of these vagabonds wore very poor be
fore the war, aid are ro w hoe mtng rich by
stealing. The f -ilowir g w 11-anthetiticated
incidents we give as they wete related to us :
Not v<-ry long since two ci'izotis of Ca
toosa county had three or f >ur h -rsr-s and
mules stolen 'They foil-wed tlu- thieves
and property to Harrison ; here they cubed
upou two ct'iz nsof that town "lev hoi
known bes-re the war to have a good repu
tation, and relati and tin ir business. These
men told them that v-ry likely they could
find diestock, and r- quested them remain
where thiy were until s-arch e old b* made.
There Harris i> men returned in an hour or
so with some twen'y-five men dressed in
i Federal uniform, who infurmed these genii*-
men that their sock wis in that town, and
would nm in there, and the owners of it
could have fifteen minutes to get cut of the
place Before gctf'iig out of tpe town they
were fired at s vernl times front around the
o -rners and bouse windows.
Nit many days since two genii m-n, by
the uame of Trammel, went in the vicinity
ofHariisoj to look after a'me land owned
by one of them. A party of «these Tennes
see desperadoes met them and told them to
leave the State 'at once—that it was good
laud they were inquiring about, and that
nod—l reb should ever cultivate it, and
that these persons would bein danger uuless
they made baste to leave the State Not
taking the most direct, r> ute home, these
gentlemen were soon beaded off by three or
lour men in blue, who commenced firing o >
ihetn at a distgn e. Messrs. Trammel go'
b- 1 io't gome trtes and returned the fire.—
Tt is skirmishing continu'd for a half hour
or more, when ho - h parties changed base f>r
the rear, and nobody hurt.
These loyal men com* over to Georgia at
night in crowds . f from ten to thirty men,
for the purpose of robbing an ! stealing—
sometimes they commit their depredations
in open day light A few days since they
atm ped a negro within a mile and a half of
K n o,,ld—cut his team—a horse and a
mule—from his wagon, and male their es
cape.
They occa-ion tlly meet resistance. Oo
last Tueslav night they a't mpted to rob a
house at Obicamsuga Station, and the own
er shot, and killed ono of a party of thne.--
Tbe other two made their escat e Tie e
desperate men are defiant of all law, but as
sert that Browulow will uphold them in
stealing from rebs, enough to satisfy their
losses during the war.
Charleston. —The Courier saysimprove
ments are being made in the process of re
building Charleston. Meu are at work re
moving the rubbish aod brick from the
burnt d.strict, and in many portions of the
citv we see thcbuildn g of stores and dwell
ings. The land and property holders begin
to compr bend the great want nf Charleston
at the present day and are maktofir earm st
efforts to fill up aacant spac< s with buildings.
Eloquence Extraordinary.- The Mont
gomery Mail says that one ot the poetical
members ot the Alabama Legislature, in a de
bate on the stay law, a few days since, was
happily delivered of the annexed eh quent
peroration :
“Mr. Speaker : Is there a man, woman or
child withiu the sound ot my voice, who is
unwilling to save to our people the pittance
of property left them? If such there be, sir,
he sh uld go down to po terity, unwept, tin
honored and unsung He is unfit to tread
the soil of the free and ‘he brave. A man,
sir, who would maliciously,at- din cool blool,
thus oppress the people is not fit to live. He
should b ■ kicked to death by a jickass, and-
I’d like to do it ”
There is a divine out West trying to
persuade the girls to forego marriage. Ha
might as well try to persuade ducks that
they could find a substitute for water, or rose
buds that there issniu-thiug better for their
■complexion than sunshine. The only con
vert he has made is a single lady, aged sweet
sixty-nine.
