The two Leading Magazines of the
South Consolidated.
With the issue for April, 18G9, Th’
Loud We Love, and The New Eclectic
Magazine, will be united: General D. H.
Hill remaining an Editor and Partner
in the consolidated Magazine, which
will be published by the undersigned
from this office, where all letters must
be addressed after the first of March,
18f.9.
There will be no change in the char
acter of The New Eclectic Magazine, ex
cept that to its present features, will
be added such characteristics of The
Land We Love as have heretofore made
that publication so acceptable to milita
tary rer ders.
'the obligations of “The Land We
Love” to subscribers and advertisers
will fa© assumed by the undersigned.
General Hill will continue to reside
in Charlotte, N. C., where all personal
letters and correspondence relative to
the military department of the Maga
zine, should be addressed.
With the increased facilities thus se
cured, we feel confident of being able
to make our Magazine the most inter
esting published in this country.
Under the new arrangement, the cir
culation of the Magazine will be larger
than the combined circulations of all
the Magazines of Jhe South; it thus be
comes a most valuable medium for ad
ertisers.
The terms of the Magazine will re
main as heretofore, $4.00 per annum
in advance. We are offering very lib
eral premiums to all who will canvass
for us. A list will be found in our ad
vertising pages.
News-dealers aae requested to send

Inaugural Address* of General

\Y AsraxGTOx, March 4. General
Gi'int S‘>id: Your suffrage having
elected me lo the office of President of
he United States, I have in conformi
ty with the Constitution of our coun
try taken the oath of office prescribed
therein. I have taken the oath with
out mental reservation, and with the
determination to do to the best of my
ability all that it requires of me. The
rnponsibilitits of the position I feel,
Ait accept them without fear. The
qffice has come to me unsought; I
<>««Hience its duties untrammeled. I
>riag to it a conscientious desire and
jfeienniuation to fill it to the best of
iv ability to the satisfaction of the
p *op!e. On all leading questions agi
tat ng the pub ic mind, I will always
express my views to Congress, and
urge them according to my judgment;
and when I think it advisable will ex
ercise the Constitutional privilege of
interposing a veto to defeat measures
which I oppose; but all laws will be
faithfully executed, whether they meet
my approval or not. I shall, on all
subjects, have a policy to recommend,
but none to inforce against the will of
the people. Laws are to govern all
alike, those opposed to as well as those
who favor them. I know no method
to secure the repeal of bad or obnox
ious laws so effective as their stringent
execution. The country having just
emerged from a great rebellion, many
questions will come before it for settle
ment in the next four years which
proceeding administrations have never
had to deal with. In meeting thes* it
is dersirable that they should be ap
proached calmly without prejudice,
.late, or sectional pride, remembering
that the greatest good to the greatest
number is the object to be obtained. —
This requires security of person, prop
erty, and for religious and political
opinion in every part of our common
country, without regard to local preju
dice. All laws to secure these ends
will receive my best efforts for their
enforcement.
A great debt lias been contracted in
securing to us and our posterity —the
Union. The payment of this, princi
pal and interest, as well as the return
to a specie basis as soon as it can be
accomplished, without material detri
ment to the debtor class or to the
country at large, must be provided for.
To protect the National honor every
dollar of the government’s indebted
ness should be paid in gold unles i oth
erwise expressly stipulated in the con
tract. Let it be understood that no
repudiation of one farthing of our pub
lic debt will be trusted in public place
arid it will go far towards strengthen,
ing a credit wh ch ougt to be the best
in the world, and will ultimately ena
ble us to replace the debt with bonds
bearing less interest than avc now pay.
'To this should be added a faithful
collection of the revenue and strict ac
countability to the treasury for every
dollar collected, and the greatest prac
ticable retrenchment in expenditure in
every department of the Government.
When we compare the paying capacity
of the country now with ten States
still in poverty from the effects of war,
but soon to emerge, I tiust, into a
greater prosperity than ever before,
with its paying capacity twenty-five
years ago, and caculate what it will lie
twenty-five years hence, who can
doubt the feasibility of paying every
dollar then with more ease than wc
now pay for useless luxuries ? Why,
it looks as though Providence had be
stowed upon us a strong box; the pre
cious metals locked up in the sterile
mountains of the far West, into which
we are now forcing the key to unlock
to meet the very contingency that is
now upon us. Ultimately it may be
necessary to increase the facilities to
reach those riches, and it may be nec
essary, also, that the General Govern
ment should give its aid to secure this
access; but that should only be when a
dollar of obligation to pay secures pre
cisely the same sort of a dollar to use
now and not before. Whilst the ques
tion of specie payments is in abeyance,
the prudent business man is careful
about contracting debts payable in the
distant future. The nation should
follow the same rule. A prostrate
commerce is to be rebuilt and all in
dustries .encouraged. The young men
of tiie country, those who from their
age must be its rulers twenty five years
hence, liar© a peculiar interest in
| maintains the national honor. A mo
ment’s reflection as to what will be our
commanding influence among the na
tions of the earth in their day, if they
are only true to themselves, should in
spire them with national pride; all di
visions, geographical, political and re
ligious can join in common sentiment.
How the public debt is to be paid or
specie payments resumed is not t o
important as that a plan should be
adopted and acquiesced in. A united
determination to do, is worth mo 'e
than divided counsels upon the meth
od of doing. Legislation upon this
| subject may not be necessary now, nor
even advisable; but it will bo when
the civil law is more fully restored in
all parts of the country, and trade re
sumes its wonted character. It will
be my endeavor to execute *ll laws in
good faith to collect all revenues as
sessed, and to have them properly ac
counted for and economically disburs
ed. I will, to the best of my ability,
appoint to office those only who will
carry out this design.
In regard to foreign policy I would
deal with nations as equitable law re •
quires individuals to deal with each
other, and I would protect the law
abiding citizens whether of native or
of foreign birth, whenever his rights
are jeopodized or the flag of our coun
try floata I would respect tho rights
of all nations, demanding equal re
spect for our own. If others depaU
from the rule in their dealings with ut
we may be compelled to follow theii
precedent. The proper treatment oi
the original occupants cf this land, tin
Indian, is one deserving of carefiv
study. I will favor any course towardi
them which tends to this civilization.
Christianization and ultimate citizen
ship.
The question of suffrage is onr
which is likely to agitate the public
mind so long as a portion of the citi
zens of the nation are excluded from
its privileges in any State. It seem
to me very desirable that this questioi
should be settled now, and I enter
tain a hope and express the desir*
that it may be by the ratification ol
the 15th article of amendment to the
Constitution.
In conclusion, I ask patient for
bearance, one towards another, through
out the land, and a determined effort
on the part of every citizen to do his
share towards cementing a happy uni
on, and I ask the prayers of the na
tion to Ahffighty God in behalf of this

are believed to be mortal, while anoth

Sn mu* Practice. —The New York

A lady, it says, came to New York
city from Georgia, a few weeks since,
on a most commendable mission, that
of raising money to assist the cause ol
Southern education. She had pro
gressed finely with her work, but a day
or two since wts so unfortunate as to
lose her memorandum book, which
book contained, among other things,
the names of those persons uj ol
whom the lady had called, aud intend
ed to call in furtherance of her mission.
Imagine her surprise, while in Brook
lyn, yesterday, to escertain that anoth
er party, undoubtedly having found
ihe memorandum book, assuming the
lady’s name, and armed with forged
letters of introduction, was engaged
also in the laudable work of collecting
money, but which money, so far as
can be ascertained, is not very exten
sively devoted to the cause of South
ern education. This is one of the
sharp tricks, by the practice of which
thousands of people who are in the
large cities live, and is a most provok
ing joke.
JKayln Georgia there are in process
of erection seventy-two mills lor the
production of cotton and woolen goods
alone, aud attention is turned in the
direction of the production of calicoes
and printed fabrics. This is a sur
prising fact; but it is the natural con
sequence following on the events of
the last five years. At Augusta one
factory turned out the last year G,410,-

of $2000,000. —Nashville Banner.

and quietly looking on, remarked:

Silk Culture in the Swlb.
The following communication —the
writer of which will be rtcogmicd os
m old ard esteemed ci 4 :h:»n of A!«-
>ama —is commended to the earnest
ionsideratiou of the people of tin
■>outh:
Jinn. C. C. Langdon, Editor if the Mo
de BegiMer: I enclose to you for pub
lication an article from a California
taper on the silk production of that
State. Like wool, it will soon became
one of its great staples—adding large
ly to tde wealth of the youngest anti
most enterprising of tin; States of the
Union.
The value of silks as nn article of
commerce is greater than that of cot
ton. Its cultivation does not require
one-twontieth part of the l.ilv>r that is
expended u|K)n cotton. Lai Kir that
cannot be employed in the cultivation
of cotton, can be most successful y and
profitably occupied iu the production of
silk.
I am an earnest advocate fur the
necessity of a change in the domestic
economy of the South; and regard it
as a prime necessity that our people
should diversify their pursuits, and
seek new sources of wealth lifted to
the reduced amount of labor with which
they will have to contend.
The amount of capital required to
commence the business of silk-raising
is small, compared with that of any
other kind of product. The risk is
nothing. The season is short, not ex
ceeding seven weeks from the time of
the hatching of the worm. The kind of
labor is that which cannot be employed
in any calling requiring strength and
exposure. Gathering leaves, cleaning
the frames and feeding the worms is
the only labor required—and can be
performed by our women and children.
The cocoons command a ready sale
here for the various siik manufactories
throughout the United States: these
eventually will and must be established
in the South.
I cannot too earnestly impress upon
our Sothern women the necessity ol
their initiating this lucrative and inter
esting branch of iudustry in their
homes. A simple open shed sufficient
to keep off the dew and rain—square
or oblong frames, two feet L>y two and
a half, or larger in the same proportion
with bottoms uia le of bobinett, to be
shoved into frames, and made upon
the plan of printing stands and type
cases, arc all the appliances necessary
to commence silk-raising.
The JfuUicaulia, or Chinese Mul
berry, is profusely scattered through
out the Southern States. It is of rap
id growth and abundant foliage. The
common red and white mulberry leaf
is readily eaten by the worm, but the
silk, although stronger, is not so tine
or soft.
In the Northern part of China the
worms are fed upon a species of dwarf
oak, and their product is a thread of
great strength and coarseness.
Very respectfully,
F. S. Blount.
An Old Maid’* »i«wn.
Someone who avows herself an ol 1
maid takes a very cheerful and satis
factory view of her social situation in
the Troy Times. Her views will be of
interest to many:
It it always astonishes me when 1
take a realizing sense of the fact that
lain an old inaid! Why, you will
scarcely believe it when I confess that
I once had lovers by the legion, ami
otiers were as numerous as flirtatious
are now-a-days. I was always in love.
I don’t remember the time when I had
not some Willie or Tommie to dream
about, and write love letters to, and as
I donned my long dresses, some hand
some Charles Augustus was sure to
keep my thoughts employed until an
other with greater fascination* super
ceded him. You need not imagine I
regret them now. No, indeed! Aiv
life is a pleasant one. No one annoys
me. No husband flirts with other
men’s wives or young girls, breaking
my heart. No husband calls me ‘my
love” in company and “old brute” at
home! He does not growl at millin
ers’ bills or extravigant wardrolx*.—
He never sits looking at me, wishing I
wtie as handsome as Mrs. B or
Hiss • He does not wish my eyes *
were as divinely blue and my hair as
charmingly golden as Katie’s, over the
way. lie never casts sly glances at
pretty girls, throwing them kisses when
my back is turned. He doesn’t mar
vel how he ever came to marry me,
when there were so many handsome
women in the world. If I am ill, he
is not wondering how weeds would be
come him, and if he should be obliged
to have an expensive funeral. He isn’t
thinking what a jolly widower he'd
make, and how eager pretty Jennie
F would be to marry him, or how
gladly Flora J would lift up her
bewitching brown eyes and promise to
be his. He does not complacently
fondle his elegaut moustache before
the mirror, a .id think how every one
must pity him, and regret, (girls es
pecially,) that so handsome a man
should be bound to so plain-looking a
woman. He isn’t watching me con
i tinually to see if I fulfill ail my duties
| as a wife; to criticise my every move
ment, to be annoyed ac the weakness
of the tea, the toughness of the steak,
or the lateness of the breakfast.
Thank the gods—no! I am a fret
woman. Idoas I please, go where I
j please, think, breathe, sneeze, wink,
cough, sleep and eat as I please. Oh
