They are deer and explicit, and forniab amall

Old Viauiata Fiaro.—Old Virginia haa suf
fered fifty tboneend martyrdom* with the oorn-
poanre of a etoie— bot there ia one thing aha
cannot and will not et*nd with Christian phi
loeopby; and that ia anything acid against
Pocahontas. Yon may born her fences, plows,
bams, plantation nteaails, crops, house* and
famitnre—yon may leave her green bosom a
horrid black waste, end her children houseless
and starving, aa I'hil. Sheridan did—but yon
most aay “nothing agin” l’ooabonta*. Oar
Ihoagbla are drawn to this awful aubjeot by tbe
biasing Indignation of tb* Lynchburg Newt

“a wanton young girl" who ueed to idle ronnd

W* think ao, too. Let little Poe. alone.
Don't poll a porcupine quill from her head—
a feather from her blanket, or a bead from her
moccasin. Dearer to old Virginia ia little Poo
than all else beside. AO bar ancient glories
and modem renown pale before the romance
of the tender aevege maiden to whom every
Virginian traces bis origin. Who does not
burn with indignation to bear hi* mother Eve
lightly spoken of ? But the Eve of the Virgin
ians la Pocahontas. They own no other. Tbe
Simian theory bat no terrors to Virginia. AU
tha real of lb* world may have sprnng from a
telllaai monkey, bnt the Virginians know that
they all eame straight from rooabontaa, and,
it good, will go beck to her again. A man
mean enough to apeak lightly of Pooahontaa,
should be cat up for eatfi«b bait. We join in
the indignation of tbe New*, end if poaaihle,
would ontgroan him.

Tb* i**t of tha tax goes into tha pocket* of the

W'hnf nrr IIip Trne Function 1 * ot Gov
ernment 7
AU political theories hinge npon tbe answer
to this question, and when a man haa aettlad in
bis own mind what power* a government ought
to bold and exorcise, be should be able to locate
himself among the political affiliation* of tbo
day.
"Kxtrena meet" says tbe proverb. And this
ie pre-eminently trne of what are now very in
considerately pronounced to be tbe antipodes
in human politic*—the autocrat and abeolnttat
on tbe ono hand, and the red mouthed petro
leum communist on tbe other. Both aim to
concentrate all power and responsibility in the
hands of “government"—to rodnoe tbe people
to a herd shorn of ell Individuality—all digni
ty, and danndsd of these grand incentive* to
physical, mental and moral improvement, which
an all-wise and ben* volant God designed should
stir them up to personal efforts for their own
advancement in all the elements of nsefalneea
stad rational enjoyment.
An absolute monarchy is the original type of
what is called paternal government. It
tbe people—in their persons and property, at
the disposal of a single will, and leave* them
no alternative bnt to acoept the condition
assigned them by irresistible authority. Who
wonder* that popular inactivity, sloth, imbecil
ity, fatalism, timidity, falsehood, seoreey and
craftiness, should be ingrained into tbe mental
constitution of any people subjected for genera
tion* to each government ? They have been de
prived of all the incentive* to pbysioal end
mental improvement, and moat find their chief
4«tti»« against injustioe in obsequious servility,
end skulking cunning.
Bat whet better is that so-called development
of the nltra Democracy and “the largest liberty”
—theao^alied extreme of popular sovereignty
—now figuring under the name of eommunitm t
We think it is not better, bnt even «none. The
oommunist insists that even a greater degree ot
power and responsibility shall be devolved upon
the government, than the moat despotic absolutist
lays claim to, or ever proposed to exercise. The
-c-umTi" 1 - 1 insist* that tbe government shell
hold all property—all authority—shall employ
and feed all tha people, and ahall consolidate in
e single depository of illimitable authority all
social, domestic, religious, literary, commercial,
industrial and financial powers, influences and
responsibilities.
Trne, they propose that this monstrous ma
chine shall be worked by conclaves elected by
the people—bnt this does not help the matter
at all. It rather makes the thing worse. It snb-
stituto* twenty, fifty or a hundred tyrants, hold
ing no distinct personal or legal responsibility,
foresingle one—end makes tbe role somoch tbe
worse as the responsibility ia divided. Human
ingenuity osn sciucely invent a more absolute
despotism than the Communists established in
Faria, and yet the emergencies of war prevented
them from carrying out their theory of govern
ment to the fall. That theory demanded
absolute surrender of all property and all per-
sonal rights to tbe government, which on tbe
other hand honed itself to furnish employment
and support to the people. The cattle of
fanner'* herd were not more completely oon
trolled by their owner, than this system gravely
proposes tbe people shall be by the government
Now, between these opposing and yet analo
gous extremes, there are numerous classes of
theorists who would give quite as many answers
to this vital qnastion, “ What are the trne fnno
lions of government?"—varying only in degree
end not at all in principle! Approach the Rad-
ioal of the present day, and be will tell yon
that it is tbe eaored duty of the Government to
educate the people—to maintain social equal
ity—to protact various industries by discrimi
Dating import duties—to suppress intempor-
anee—to br.ild roads, canals, and carry ont great
enterprises of internal improvement, eta, eta
Practically, these differ from tbe oommuniets
end absolutists not at all in principle, Imt aim
ply in degree ; and as there ia no olear bound
ary when tbo grand Democratic dividing line
onco passed, no there can be noseonrity against
the mart miaabievons usurpations of power by
government iu the hands of any of those paternal
government theorists. Accordingly, we have seen
the Federal Government under the control of
the Radical* nanrp In tnrn every social, religious
and political function, until personal liberty and
tbe right of local self government have been
almost annihilated.
And tbe result has been most disastrous.
Whatever government does outside of its sim
plest functions ia invariably done in tbe most
wantful manner, and the more it undertakes,
the more numerous are the frauds and abuses
perpetrated under its authority. The notorious
oorruption of the Federal and State administra
tions is not dne more to the dishonesty of parti
san official*, than to the demoralizing effect of
pushing their functions beyond the limits of law
and aafe precedent.
We most oome beck, then, to tbo plein old-
fashioned democratic theory of the trno func
tions of government. These ere very simple,
end olementery, end dearly laid down by the
Ooustitntion. They, and they alone, are con
aistent with true personal and civil liberty, end
tbe elevation of man, under tbe inspiring influ
enoee of free institutions. When a man at
tains lawful ape, let him oast of “paternal
government,” and realize all the responsibill
ties of manhood to God and his oonniry. Leave
to the people tbe interest! of trade and oom
merce—of education, religion, morality and
■ootety. Let government be content with the
great ends of order, jostioe and the poblia de
fence end protection, and let private enterprise,
patriotism end benevolence feel all tbe atimul-
os of the God-imposed obligations, npon tbo
manhood of the country, to take care of them.
IIovv nncii Tliey Have Stolen
Under dste of Sunday last, the 31 instant, the
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
San, write* as follows:
Tbo sub-Ku-Klnx Committee on tha debts of
tha Southern States, appointed to aaoertain how
much the debts have been increased since tbe
war, will soon make their report, and present
tbe most astounding record of fraud and corrup
tion ever known in modern history. The evi
dence already shows that they have been in
creased over a hundred million of dollar*.
And yet the thieves and their allies wbo have
backed them np with Federal bayonets pointed
at the breast* of the plundered people of the
Booth while they filled their filthy pockets,
have the effrontery to talk of Tammany and
its frauds! Tammany may have stolen immense
sums, bnt its thieves were natives and spent
their plunder among the plundered, ao that the
tax payers, in soma measure, were indirectly
profited. They stole too from those abundantly
able to stand it. Tbe thieves wbo have beg
gared the South were, for the meet pert, the
vilest alien scum who only knew enough of our
people to hate end plunder them. They came
down npoo ns like a flock of buzzards, and after
enlisting the servieee of the most degraded
wretches among the native whites, and the
ignorant, brutal blacks, commenced their
loathsome work. When those who writhed in
agony under the pangs of their sharp talons
oom plained, or ware restive. Federal bayonets
were invoked, and straightway the victim was
pinned more securely to the ground, and the
bnzzards flapped their winge in triumph and
plunged beaks and claw* deeper into the vital*
of their pray. These words describe tbe initia
tion and progress, up to this day, of that most
stupendous crime of the Nineteenth Century—
Southern “Reconstruction."
And now the figures oome to the front, and
they tell us that it nett results, in money, are
arxuzxD xiuxoss or sollabs. This is
what it has eoat an impoverished, mined peo
ple to have themselves spit npon and tramped
over by their own slaves, under the leadership
of those wbo filled their pockets, while venting
their hat*—a doable luxury, not often ec joyed
even by rogues. This ia “reconstruction," in
its last analysis. Contemplating this frightful
record of Radical deviltry and dishonesty, we
oaea* to be astonished at the existence or work
of the Kuklux. Onr wonder now, ia, that they
have not risen all over this strioken Sooth, and
in sueh strength aa to sweep every robber from
Boothem sofl. Suppose New England to have
i thus bound and gagged, while alien rob
ber*, end the moat degraded of her own popu
lation, nfied her pockets—what would her peo
ple have at least attempted to do ? And yet,
dcring all Una time, the laud where all this
monstrous villainy was being enacted, h.. been
the mix! orlerlj and peaceful section of the
whole oountry. History cannot match it, and
history will acme day fully vindicate thoee who
have made this record.

Mcxcxaxm or Us. Faux Loza—This gentle
man, a large planter in Jackson county, Florida,
waa killed last Thursday night, on hie farm near
Marianna. He was standing at his corn crib
when he was shot dead. A negro haa been ar-
rested, and tha circumstantial evidence against
him ia very strong. The print of the bott of
the gun on the ground corresponds with tbe
weapon found in hie possession. One of the
■crews of the gun is wanting. A short nail
found where the old “foaee" rested, exactly fits
tha hole end seems to have supplied tbe plaoe
of the screw, bnt fail out when the owner rested
the weapon on the ground. Tbe trace of foot
steps also measure well with his shoes. The
motive for the act ia not known, as Mr. Long
waa very popular both with black* and white*.
He was one of tbe wealthiest men in tbe

A Coon Sion.—It ia certain!/* pleasing aigbt,
and one of the most indisputable evidences of

of freight trains constantly coming end going
over the railroads centering here. A friend in

the State Road, he was passed by no less than
seventeen long freight trains; and the inoessant
blowing of whistles and ringing of bells in the
different railroad yards is enough to oon vinca any
one that these roads are being nsed to their nt
most capacity.
Letter from Jlonroc Comity.
Monboe Cocntt, November 21, 1871.
Kdilort Telegraph and Messenger : Thinking
perhaps that yon would like to hear from this
section of the county, (the southern portion,)
indnoe* me to drop yon a few lines to inform
yon of the crops, weather, ete. The ootlon
crops ere nearly all gathered and are very poor
indeed. I do not think it wilt average more
then half a crop. I could show yon numbers
of fialds that would not make more than a bale
to every ten scree; and tbe recent frosts have
been ao severe as to entirely destroy tbe late
crop. Corn crop* ere all gathered and are very
sorry, particularly on gray and bottom lands.
Tbia community was surprised to learn that
Mr. Frank Yates, a ion of Washington Yates,
wbo lives in the western portion of Bibb county,
suddenly disappeared in tbe night of tho 12th
instant, taking with him every thing of any
value that he possessed, and leaving all bis debts
unpaid, and although he made professions of
his ability willingness to pay his debts np
to a few hours before he left. He ia well known
to some of yonr merchants, and two of them at
least, have been tha victims of bis rascality.
He was arrested last spring in your city for
passing counterfeit money; bnt was afterwards
released. He ia supposed to be lurking about
in Washington and Hancock counties, where be
baa relatives; bnt his ultimate destination it
said to be Texas. You would do well to give
him a passing notice to prevent him from Im
posing npon others. I have notki.vg more of
interest to write. Yours respectfully,

The Political Ontloolx at "Washing
ton.
Under date of the 3d Inst, the Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writes aa
follows, on the above subject
Those Republican Senators and members who
have arrived here, and who have expressed any
opinion, do not expect that much important
business will be done this session beyond pass
ing e bill reducing taxation and the general ap
propriation bills. The supporters of the admin
istration express their confidence in the nomi.
nation and re-election of Grant, and declare that
most of the president-making for the session
will be oonfined to the democratic aide. The
anti-Grant republicans do not appear to develop
much strength in the House; indeed, it ia said
there are not half a dozen who can be counted
on, while Messrs. Sumner. Schniz end Tipton
are the only Senators positively kaown in the
Senate to be against Grant’s renomination.—
Tbe Democratic Senators are very generally op
posed to joining hands with the anu-Gr*nt men
until the latter show some positive organization
that would warrant a coalition on general issues
before tbe people. It ia evident that there is to
be no precipitate action on the part of the Dem-
oermry in Congress on the presidential question,
end it is doubtful if anything positive results
from the caucus to be held early in the session.
The feeling at least now appears to be tbst the
leaser should come to the greater.
“Datid Pact. Bbown, of Philadelphia," writes
Colonel Forney, “has been for a century the
favorite orator of the American bar. His re
nown waa national before be wia thirty; and,
aa he not only never sought but resolutely de

of ocher States, his fame it mainly the out
growth ot professional effort* in hit native

seventy-seventh year, the most active veteran
of hit time. Who can not recall bim ia the
flush of hie manhood ? Of middle height, com
