last few months, and knowing the
feeling of the Southern people to

nation, lean assure you that a cor

ph -of Truth and reconciliation, buS
realizing that views which dojustico

Southern people, mustreaistthogon
( iaT prejudices of the North, l prefer
to more fully explain them there be-*
lure 1 ask a full recognition by the
p;v,-; of the South. Tiie Southern
people have truly been misunder
lood in the iate conflict, and they
cannot be reconciled while their true
motives are spurned with contempt*,
their patriotism disregarded, and
their gallant dead lie in dishonored!
graves. .
I hey accept, philosophically, the
-ilufition in which the fortunes of
war have placed them, and entertain
no idea of again contending for what
they sincerely thought was right.
They have been reconstructed from a
basis of prejudice, they should now
he reconciled by the influence of
Truth. Their views of right must
lie held -acred, or a union of feeling
cam ot be effected. The triumph <ff
of the Federal army over the Confed
erate established no principle of
Truth. The soldiers of both armies
were lighting for Washington’s prin
ciples, us pure patriots with a total
disregard of each other’s standpoint,
Hence, they will > have to change
'andpoints, and conic to the conclu
sion that they were both right, the
May they viewed it, and both wrong
because they viewed it wrong. And .
on tio oilier basis can a reconciliation 1
now be Greeted but that of equal'
honor and glory meted out to Fede
ral and Confederate alike. Had the I
Don federate army triumphed over
the Federal, (which would have been
certain hud they held the resources
of the latter,) the North would not
have changed, and ’could not have
liiouglit any less of their noble dead; j
■ od you, as the gallant commander 1
qf that army, would have contended !
I'>r the sincerity vi your priori pten j
the same as the Mouth do now for;
their Lost Cause.
The act of secession placed you in
the Presidential chair; without it,
you would now bean humble citizen
in the private walks of life. I sin
cerely-trust you will, in this hour of
ymir triumph and exultation, feel to
wards the Southern people as the late
President Lincoln did: ‘charity for
all, and malice for none.’
Without secession tjircc millions of
blacks would now be slaves, and by
the sanction of a Govern m jut which [
never thought of abolition on philo-j
sopliical principles, that of purchase, |
but hrhl the Union of the States,
with slavery recognized as a consti
tutional right, paramount to their
liberty. Their freedom was thus
compromised, and they have achiev
ed it by the blood of both armies;
hence, their sympathies must be
equal in respect to the dead who fell
as martyrs ton principle of misunder
st uidioglby which they became free.
1 have tried for the last twelve years
to take a philosophical view of the
struggle, and I trust you will, by
next December, recommend such
measures to Congress that will secure |
the same pension to the Confederate !
soldiers as is" now awarded to the
Federal, and as time mb re fully lifts
the veil of prejudice which has en
shrouded the bonth, at the close of
your second term as Chief Executive
of the nation, 1 think it would be
philanthropic for you to say to thej
impoverished Southern people, ‘you
deserve pay for a portion, at least, if
not nil, of your slaves, which they!
would now hold had they listened to
the demands of the North. Howev
er great this may resist the prejudi
ces of the Northern people at present,
1 truly deem it a truthful and un-l
prejudiced view of the claims of the
South, and stand ready to assume all !
the responsibility ol'prejudice which
it may engender by self-martyrdom,
loving truth for truth’s sake. No !
one can imagine, without seeing, the j
poverty of the greater portion of the j
Southern people; thousands, once j
wealthy, are now penniless, and the j
kindness and generosity of the great j
mass of the people of the Southern
States is only equaled by the heroic !
fortitude and energy which they dis
play in rebuilding their desolated
country laid waste by war, the bat
tles having mostly been fought on
Southern soil. Thousands of old
grey-headed men can here be seen,
men with their forms bending to the
tomb, that could once command their
thousandsof dollars, with now scarce-;
ly the necessary means for a scanty
subsistence, and in this struggle for
constitutional liberty it should he re
membered distinctly that the South
did only what the North would have J
done had they been similarly situa
ted. ‘ . , ,
It appears in the providence ot Cod |
that this war was to have been. It
was fortunate a few, unfortunate
for thousands. Among the iqriner j
you can truly be classed. The aim
of all, both North and South, should
ho\V be to become reconciled. Let j
the past be buried in oblivion, and j
let disinherited truth be the basis
i'rbm which all should now calmly
reason. The South has been impov
erished and the North enriched by
this war. Honor and patriotism is
all the South have left, and this
should now be held sacred.
Trusting you will not postpone
your intended visit, and that 1 will
have the pleasure of seeing you be
fore I go North, I with pleasure sub
scribe myself your true friend for tiie
cause of Truth and Reconciliation,

About a year ago, a troupe was
starting from Boston to make a short
season through the principal towns
in tiie East. In the company was

Up jumped tii<e irate Dutchman to
again find the landlord, which he
did, and related bis grievances, but
was partially pacified on being-told
that the waiter should be promptly
discharged, and told him to go up
stairs and get his dinner, while
lie, in the meantime, was going
to take a short ride. Back went
Jake, only to find that the boys had
again locked the door, and he was
wild ; seizing his hat, he again rush

search for something to cat, but with
no better result than before. Asham

waited until near supper time, when
lie again returned to the hotel, and
seating himself in a corner, not a civ

Common sense cannot supply what
nature lifts denied. Those who boast
of it most, possess the least of it. As j
a personal vaunt, it becomes utterly J

brilliantly illustrated by showing
consideration for the feelings of oth

desirable virtue, when it displays it

A MAN, PERHAPS—BUT NOT A
BROTHER.
The leading naturalist of tiie world,
hot Agassiz, lias been lecturing in
...an > raneisco, and is reported by the
ban I raneisco Scientific Press to have
said :
“I have pointed out over a hun
dred specific differences between the
bonal and nervous system of the
► , *^ G man and the negro. Indeed
their frames are alike in no partieu
il *, 1 . re iis no hone in the negro’s
body which is relatively of the same
shape, size, articulation, or chemical
l,v of the same composition as tiiat of
the white man. The negro’s bones
contain a far greater proportion of
1 calcareous salts than those of the
\» liite man. Lvcn the negro’s blood
js chemically a very different fluid !
i Iroin that which courses in the veins
! t, he white man. Tiie whole phvs
icu! organization of tiie negfo differs ,
quite us much from the white man’s '
as it does from that of the champan-1
Xv\* that is, in his bones, muscles
uei v es and fibres, the chimpanzee has i
; u °t much farther to progress to be
come a white man: This fact science
inexorably demonstrates.
i has 1,0 mor e to do with
tne difference between the white man
and the negro than it has with that
between the negro and the chimpan
zee, or it has between the horse and
the ass, or the eagle and the owl.—
; r.aeu js a distinct and separate crea
tion. Ihe negro and the white man
I weie created as specifically different
■as the owl and the eagle. They were
designed to fill different places in the
system ot nature. The negro is no
more a negro by accident or misfor
tune than the owl is the kind of bird
he is by accident or misfortune. The
nogio is no more the white man’s
brother than the owl is the sister of
ine eagiC, or the ass the brother of
tne horse. How stupendous, and yet
now simple, is the doctrine that the
Almighiy maker of 1 lie universe has
created different species of the lower
animals, to till different places and
offices in the grand machinery'of na
ture.”
TJic same views, remarks the Ma
con Telegraph, were long ago ex
pressed by eminent scientific men in
the .Southern States-of America, and
some ten or twelve years ago were
boldly defended by a distinguished
member of the British Scientific As
sociation in London. The facts, if
they are facts, are pregnant with the
most important political and social
deductions—which are sufficiently ob
vious.
A paragraph is in circulation in
which it is stated that Prof. Agassiz
denies having over stated that there
is a chemical difference between the
blond ot the white and black man.—
We ate not sure that the denial is au
thorized by the Professor. Whether

the San Francisco paper.

KEEP OUT OF DEBT.
Half the perplexity, annoyance and j
trouble that men have in this world
is in consequence of getting into debt.
—it seems natural for'some people to !
buy and incur obligations without I
measure, so long as they pan avoid i
paying ready cash. Give one of this
sort a chance tobuy on credit, and
the question of payments are matters ;
that he cares but little about. But
what a crop of trouble springs up j
from the seeds of debt. How many
gray hairs it brings, and how often it
shortens life—sometimes leading men
to commit smeide or murder.. And
yet how easy it is to keep clear of
this terrible monster. Every young
man should form a fixed and unalter
able determination, before commenc
ing his active business career, not to
incur one penny of idebtedness, uu
| der any circumstances. Never buy
; anything unless you have the money
to pay for it at once. Pay no atten
tion to the “splendid opportunities,”
! “rare chances,” “bargains,” and the
like. Such are only traps set to catch
victims. If you see anything that
you would like to accept, look first at
your money pile, and make the an
swer depend upon that. Always pay
as you go. If you are shorte of mon
! ey, guage your demands aecording

I’ve wandered to tiie village, Tom: I’ve sat be

Upon the school-house ground which sheltered
you and me;
But none were left to greet me, Tom ; and few
wore left to kuow,
That played with, us upon the green some.forty
years ago. J
The grass is just as green, Tom; hare-footed
boys at play,
Were sporting just as we did then, with spirits
just as gay;
But the “master" sleeps upon the hill, which !
coated oVr with show,
Afforded us a sliding place, just forty years j
ago. “ J j

are replaced
By new ones, very like the same our penknives !

years ago. :

that same old tree ;
i lia\e forgot the name just now- von’ve play

On that same spot; ’twits flayed with knives,

But the grape-vine swing is ruined now, where

And swung our sweethearts—“pretty girls”—

The spring that bubbled ’neath the hill, close
by the spreading beech,
Is very low— twas ouce so high that wc could
almost reach; <•
Aud, kneeling down to get a drink, dear Tom r
I started so,
To see how sadly 1 am changed since forty
years ago.
Near by the spring, upon the elm, you know I
cut your name,
Your sweetheart’s just beneath it, Tom, and!
you did mine the same;
Some heartless wretch has peeled the bark,,
’twas dying sure but slow,
Just as that one whose name yoir cut, died for
ty years ago.
My lids have long been dry, Tom, but tears!
came iu my eyes;
I thought of her 1 loved so well —those early!
broken ties;
I visited the old church-yard and took some!
flowers to 6 trow
Upon the graves of those we loved, some forty,

But few are left of our old class, excepting yot

WHY CLOY E lull PROVES THE
SOIL.
Professor Voelcker thus explains
the action of clovor in increasing the
fertility of soils:
“All who are practically acquaint
ed wit h the subject must have seen
t hat the best crops of wheat are pro
duced by being preceded by crops of
eloter grown for seed. I have come
to the conclusion that the very best
preparation, ihe best manure) is a
good crop of clover. A vast amount
of mineral manure is brought within
reach of the corn crop which other
wise, would remain in a iocked-np
condition in the soil.—Tiie clover
plants take nitrogen from tiie atmos
phere, and manufacture it into their
own substance, which, on decompo-!
si lion of the clover roots and leaves, I
produces abundance of ammonia, j
In reality, the growing of clover is!
equivalent, to a great extent, to ma
nuring with Peruvian guano.”

i’ll WITH COTTUN -
\ correspondent in Murray county,
Georgia, writes to the Department ot
Agriculture as follows:
The raising of corn, wheat, and
stock for the use of the farm, and bc
vond that, cotton, is certainly the
'true policy, for fanners of this county.
'Cotton pays better than any other
crop, but not- well enough to justny
one in raising it altogether and bay
ing his awn provisions. An expeni
ment came under my observation
which proves that cotton, so far from
ex hasting the soil, is a great renova-
exnasuiig mv- » v ~
tor when properly managed.
son-in-law took two acres of old, worn \
out, completely exhausted land, lour j
years ago, and planted it in cotton, j
| "Each winter, after the stales had be
i come tender, he took, a stick and beat
1 them to pedes, then run a long, bull
tongue plow, as deep asa strong mule
! could pull it, under the roots ol the
! old stalks, and with a one-horse turn
{ingplow threw all the old bolls and
j y'u'ks on the ridge. This he did each
vear, and did not suffer any stock
whatever to go on the lot. The crop
atari” doubled itself each year; the*
first year made 350 pounds of seed !
cotton, the last 2,200 pounds. No ma
nure whatever was used.
i spotted Fkvkr. — There are says
i the Cincinnati Enquirer, many ae
j counts in our exchanges of the ter
_—this disease in north
lion Kentucky. Us io
dine appear to be aiinost unknown.
I A friend has sent us from the Uni
! varsity of Louisville (Medical De
-1 pnrtment) a diagnosis of the peculiar
,1 symtoms, giving well-known reme
dies for the control of the disease as
used in that institution with success.
, The writer of the prescription is well
known as one of the most eminent
physicians in the United States, and
this is the recipe:
Louis Ville, Feb, 28, 1872.
“Spotted fever is eerebro-spinal
meningitis, or inflammation of the i
; membranes of the brain aud spinal j
cord. Its symptoms are various In ,
different eases/ Those you mention
are usually prominent, lee to the
head and along the spine while the
fever lasts; pounded ice eaten or
swallowed, so us to melt in the stom
ach ; opium in the beginiug of the |
' disease, and bromide of potash after]
the fever abates; concentrated nutri
tious liquid diet, a well ventilated
room, c( mfoitably warm, are tho
. principal elemeuts of treatment.
You have little reason to fear it. It
is connected with badly drained hab
itations and uudeaunessof thedwell
iugs ana surrounding grounds, damp,
badly ventilated lodgings. These
are the homes and sources of the dis
ease. They were made abundantly
evident as such in the terrible out
break of the disease in the city Os
’ New York in 1872.”
