Within ten day* our immediate commu nity has been outraged and shocked beyond expression by two attempts, on the part of colored men to accomplish iheir vile pur poses upon the persons of w hite females. The enormity of the rrime is increased, if possible, by the fact that the females are bnt children. There can bo no provoca tiotPiu these cases. They arc acts of sheer beastliness, and the criminals ure worthy of death. The moral safety of our community can rccelvo no greater shock than by allowing these moustersof evil, to go free, or escape with a term of imprisonment. Our little, innocent daughtcra must not bo exposed on the streets, or on their wuy to school, to the vile attentions and brutish uttneks of these licentious citizens. They must he taught this lesson, and we hope, at this litno. There is no political significance in * hanging a man for ussulting an innocent child, and if there were, we should say— let him hang. Ho ! koh Florida.—The readers of the Kntkici'liihb, residing in Jacksonville, Florida, will lie pleated to learn that Dr David Wills, is on ids way to ttietr beau liful city, to remain probably a mouth or two. Dr. Wills will preach during his sojourn in the Presbylerun Church, (South) of which lie is u distinguished uiid brilliant son. We hope our friends will avail themselves of the opportunity to hear the revereud Doctor, and exert themselves tc keep him as long as pos slide. Entre nous, tie lias promised to slay uiitil tee join him, sometime in the early part of December. We are two youths, whoso mutual audiilinu it is to go fishing on Iho blue Ht.

Hus Ihe public chastised lliu bantling!' Is It in danger of ‘petering’ out? Public sentiment is a tickle tiling, and seldom presents itself long enough to he written down Wo would suggest that for a change, out cotemporary undertake to assist in the purification mid just direc tion of public sentiment, Instead of hawk ing the dirty pictures it pnluls We have no objection to the umbltion of our cotemporary and inn only com mand it to he "Ihe lleridd of a noisy world, With spattered boot*, stepped waist*, and froteu locks, News from all nation# lumbering at hi back." SKIJtKTART OF PtATK —Our Stale e\ < liange*. very generally* have referred to the fact that Colouel J. It Sneed in a can didate for the office of Stale Secretary, and almost universal ia the wish that he may be chosen. We heartily concur with our eolciuporaries and Join whatever influence we have or may possess or exert with llieira for the accomplishment of this good thing. Apart than Colonel Snood's ad mirable Illness for the position, we know that he is deeply engaged in a matter of the utmost Importance! to Georgia and the South—for all future times , and he can develop and perfect his great thought and bring it to practicable shape more surely and earlier, surrounded by intiii euces and facilities of the ollice to which his lriends desire to elevate him IVe hope all men will say aye! •*- Suicidal.— Mr. J. F Long has issued a circular addressed to the Colored people of Georgia, setting forth the importance of emigration to distant Slates,particularly In the west The circular calles a couvcn lion to meet in Macon on the Ist of Janu ary 1873 to hike larger and more vigorous measures etc., etc. Now. we have no feeling in this matter apart from pbllauth ropy. We claim to be the honest friend of aii races and liuimhu beings, and have no disposition to tamper with the rights of any. out on the contrary stand ready to defend the rights of all. But we pronounce Mr. Long's scheme su icidal and warn all our colored people against it It means starvation aud death Stay not from God's House for trifle* If the weather be cold and searching, make yourself comfortable by additional comfort* in clothing. Your minister lias been prepairing for you, and will be at the sanctuary with a special message to your soul.

New York The Atde nay was well filled, and the lecture held the sympathy of his audience Father Tom has wisely adopted the titles of Mr. Froude s lectures for his own. the first br ing "The Normaua. iu Ireland." Both Mr. Froude'a. and Father Tom's, lectures hjvill be published in book form TICTOHV OF THE VAV 4ji;iftHi:i. Nothing pleases us morethuu the bravo spirit of our Southern nation. We have not retired from the field of strife without securing Indications and as surances of a peaceful and prosperous ex istence. Having entered the contest on principles believed by us to be sound, there is uo disposition to throw them aside, and recede to a lower plaue of purpose or effort. The recent campaign has more than con vinccd us of our weakness, —it has convin ced us of our strength mid wherein our future elevatiop and glory must lie We lake no step backward. We relinquish no ground taken in our recent advance. It was not policy horn of deceit that generated us up tfl ihe ac ceplsnne of the vantage ground established in the principles of the liberal movement, hut a keep perception of truth, and a de termination to assert and vindicate it There wc are to day, and the principles of the future aro in our keeping. The world will ace and acknowledge, tlmt we were beaten, because power Without Justice, and policy without reason—marshalled the forces of prejudice and characteristic fear of our return to the administration of gov ernment, aguiust us. It wftl be remem bered that the butteries of the victorious parly were not turned ugainat our priori pies, but ugainat the choice of our repre scututive of them. The soundness of our faith was not questioned, hut the genuineness of our pro fession, was. It was said against us that we advanced abreast of the wisdom of the age in ap pearance only, and to deceive that we j might regain. But now, the power oi our honesty is the assurance of attempts at least, at re i form. The immovable front oi our ad | vanted line, the unwavering firmness ex j hibitud, creates not only faith hut adtnira j liuu, and our grusp upon the confidence j and just verdict of the honest people of j every portion of the country, will not I easily relax. We have but to pursue add move for | ward. The powers that he, cannot deny US tile boon of protection, and the bless ings of nationality and peace Congress nnd the Executive will ueccs sarily see ilist the Conservative co-opera tion of the South, so clearly unfolded and distinctly declared by our advocacy of the principles iif the Cincinnati and Baltimore platform, and our adbofencu to them, places thu South squarely with the gov i urnmcnl, although at distinct variance with certain Administration measures. Mr Grant lias now un opportunity, which cannot escape ills eye or his purpose. Ilia friends claim for him that lie thinks better of us than wc have heretofore admitted . (lml ill Ills heart he is a stranger to that spirit of oppression which Inis so con spicuously characterized features of ids rulings In our behalf. Pei haps so. We will forego rash judgment, and wait the sentence of the llrsl Picsidcnliui move I incut or party action. In any event wc i say this Mr. Grant can he master of the ! whole. He can show that nature, which ! is claimed for him, (hut which we have failed to detect in the Administration by i which wo have know n him,) which is lie , lieved to belong to noble lives and stamps j them great forever. He can he just He can acknowledge our loyalty by turning \ his fuee toward us, mid recommending measures for our liberation from the Hirtrl don, of unjust suspicions and Infamous oppressions I.et him do this mid lie will consolidate interests, advance the national glory, se cure un unbroken future, mid tiling down ! blessings instead of curses upon his own , head, which history will keep w arm for ever. Coffee. An Arab legend gives the following ac count of the discovery ot codec Toward the middle of the titteen century a poor Aral) was traveling in Abyssinia, and, lie ing weak and weary from fatigue, lie stopped near a grove. Then, being m waul of fuel to cook his rice, he cut down a tree which happened to ta l covered with dead berries His meal being cooked ami eaten, the traveler discovered that the half burned berries were very fragrant, lie collected a number of these, and. on crushing them with a stone, he found that their aroma increased to a great extent. While woudering at this lie accidentally let fall the substance in a can which o>u mined his scanty supply of water. Eo, what a miracle ! The almost putrid liquid was instantly purified. He brought it to lila Ups , it was fresh, agreeable, and in a moment after the traveler had so far re covered tiis strength ami energy as to lie able to resume Ills journey, 'i he lucky Arab gulhered as many benies as lie could, and. having arrived at Aden, in Arabia, he iufortued the mufti of his dis covery That worthy divine was au iu veterate opium smoker, who had been suf feiing for years from the influence of that poisonous drug. He tried an infusion of the roasted berries, and was so delighted at thu recovery of his own vigor that in gratitude to the tiee he called it catiuah Which iu Arabic signifies lotce.

On the con trary, every new and startling temporal event is commented upon at length by the reverend clergy from the sacred desk Tim amount of learning and wisdom that aro brought to hear upon it is akin to that which would produce a good editorial uptm the subject in any oue of our daily papers. Indeed we are not sure, although it may he against our interest to say it, that any one who regularly attends one of our most lashionable churches could dis pense with reading the editorial part of his newspaper, for he will have just as good comments from Ids pastor as those made Iq the editor of the journal which : lie prefers. The pulpit now is Mic vehicle | of news, and the eommenter upon all news that deserves the name. It is n sort | of competitor, as it were, of the Sunday paper. The Boston fire, of course, was the cause of a prodigious amount of talking in the pulpit. For the time the predictions of ihe prophets (if the Old Testament and the inspired writings ot the Disciples of Ihe New Testumcut were furgolten. The lessons of the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the .Mount, with its mem orable Eleventh Commandment, were driven from the observation of ail of us wlio are sinners, and another topic substi tuted—the lessons of I lie great cunflugra tiuus iu Uie earth. We always peruse these sermons—or, rather, the abstracts of them—w ith interest, for we arc sufficiently worliita to desire to obtain the kernels of | the nut without the trouble of breaking the shell. Thus we nave heard from the Heverend Henry Ward Beecher, the substance of whose Sunday evening sermon the New York reporter for thu Associated Press was good enough to send to us yesterday. That clerical gentlemen said that lie “dis claimed ihe idea that the late calamity was a visitation of Providence upon Boston because of her sins,” and said “if such was the case, what city would stand y" Wc hate to ditfer with those who wear the “black robe,” hut really there appears to lie sumetliipg faulty w ith brother Beech er's argument. Because no city would stand if we were to admit that the visits tiou upon Boston was on account oi her trangressions before the Lord, does not prove that there was no such visitation.— Ctesar said triumphantly, shortly before he was assassinated, to a soothsayer who had predicted his death on the Ides of March, that " the Ides of March had come."— “ Yes,” replied the latter, * but they are not yet over.” So, wc say, it does not fol low because Boston is destroyed, that other cities will not experience equal, if not greater calamities Boston lias only been the first to receivo its sliure of the Divine condemnation upon the country It does seem to us that Mr. Beecher has been wanting in reverence, wanting in fi delity, to the Great Creator whose servant lie professes to he, w hen he disclaims the lact that the Almighty, in His dealings with an obstinate and ungraleful world. Inis not employed the great weapon ot punishment for their own good In the Old Testament we constantly read that every great chastisement of Providence upon any people was in consequence of their enormous sins Wliv should we be lieve, in our National vanity, that we are to be made an exception to the old rule * Where lias God declared that he lias adopted a different mode for lhe govern incut of mankind V Tlio Heverend Ward draws from the fire the lesson that it was a mistake for Boston to liuve such narrow streets ; that they built their houses too higli to receive protection from the Fire Department, and that they ought to have had something better Ilian s Mansard roof to cover their stores and dwellings. Granting ail this, docs it justify the idea that U ere was not a visitation from Providence? The latter always moves through human means and instrumentalities ; so there is nothing to he gained by admitting the secondary po si lions of the Pastor of Plymouth Cnurcli. Brooklyn. It was God who prepared tin way for the calamity by the narrow streets, tiy the Mansard roofs, by the enor mous height of tlie lonises, and by the horse epidemic, which incapacitated, to some extent, the Fire Department. We are confident of this, and are prepared to withstand an argumentative siege. The Loosening of the Silver Cord. A Fails correspondent of the World thus tenderly describes tho last days of Theophile Gautier, one of tho irreat litera ry lights of Fiance —"He was on the verge of sixty. During his halcyon days ho had built a comfortable house near ltois de Boulogne, and so secured a retreat w here quarter day at least had no terrors Hut the sieges came aud drove him thence, aud for seven mouths lie was op posed by anxiety for that harbor's safety The shells even of civil war spared it. and, the din ended, he was able once more to reenter home. War, revolution, siege, Commune had. however, been too much for him to bear. Ilia heart swelled with the repeated blows fortune had dealt it and it became evident that Theophile Gautier had received his death stroke. He lost interest in everything His step forgot its old elasticity; he rattier drag ged himself along than walked. Moreo ver, all his old friends, Alexandre Du mas. poor Gerard do Nerval, Mary. Eu gene Devoria, Delacroix, Mine di Girar din. linger de Beauvoir, were in the grave yard and lie was alone despite the new friends each successive generation had brought h'.ut There are no friends like the friends of our youth Again he look ed with apprehension on the future of France , lie feared the arts would no lon ger be in repute, that the national delica cy aud laste were going to be lost . that the dark ages were agaiu returning. What was earth to him ? And yet he shrunk from death , his family even begged Ips friends to spare him visits lest the num bet,might lead him to suspect the parting time approached. He was to the last un conscious of the extremity lie had reach ed Somnolence surprised him in full mental activity ami clearness, and while lie lay unaw are gently opened the door to deal It. lIIEUK is a Buddhist f.tblc. with a moral to it. which tells an amusing tale, of a hog who tarn c< he has inspired a lion w ith fear, and challenges him to mortal com bat. The lion fixes that day week for the duel, and the hog. scampering back to his herd, proudly declares that he ’s go ing to tight the lion. The announcement is received with terror, and the crestfallen hog takes the advice of his friends to roll :n a dunghill before encountering bis dreadful foe Accordingly on the fateful day our hero presents liimse! before the lioti armed in a panoply of filth, and the noble beast. s C; ,rning j 0 touch so con tempt ible a five, says.
