••WITH MALICE TOWARD NONE AND
WITH CHARITY FOR ALL ”
The noblest virtue in * conqueror is mag
nanimity. A brave and chive ric people never
trample on a foe when they have him in their
power, especially if that foe has bravely con
tested with them. We do not believe the mass
of people at the North would urge a humilia
tion upon us as extreme as some of the North,
erun journals advocate.
We are astonished in- looking over the
northern papers that reach us to see how
wilfully and grossly the southern people are
maligned through their columns. They write
as if they were convinced that the last princi
ple of honor and morality had disappeared
from the hearts of the southern people, and
that we stood now with hand ready to gretp
the sword hilt if opportunity should offer,
and make ourselves a nation es purjured in
dividuals. Such gross injustice on the part
of these journals is unjust, untimely and un
warranted. The vast majority of the people
es the south who have been permitted to sub
scribe to the Amnesty oath have done it in
good faith, accepting the issue of the war as
unavoidable and are anxious to conform fully
to the new order of things.
The people of the South entered into the
contest with integrity of purpose. It was no
new theory raised for the occasion which In
duced them to take up arms against the Gen
eral Government. The question was raised
near three-fourths of a century ago, and by
good and wise statesmen. The father of the
Declaration of Independence was also the
father of the doctrine*just decided. It was
made the great issue between him and Hamil
ton. From them it descended to Calhoun who
came near bringing the theory to a practical
test, but was thwarted by the great and in
domitable Jackson. Thus the theory came
down to our day and generation, both sides
combatted it with energy and ability, in the
halls of Congress and through the press'until
the “ irrepressible conflict” began to be rais
ed as a battle-cry by certain parties,
The question culminated in our time and
the test was one of the bloodiest revolutions
that ever swept over the face of a nation. The
decision was made vi es armii and against us,
and we believe the people of the South ac
cept it in good faith, are conscientious in the
oath with which they renew their allegiance
to the General Government, and are sincere
desire in their to be reinstated in their rights
under the authority of the United States.
There may be those who are still rebellions
in their feelings and their talk ; but we be
lieve they come under the exception and not
the rule. The extreme fewness of the num
ber of those fiery, dissatisfied spirits render
tuem powerless for barm. So we cons.der
the great hue and cry which some over zealous
journals are endeavoring to make, as so much
tiresome gasconade, calculated to blind and
mislead the northern people and keep open
the breach between the North and South
which it is the du’y of all good people of both
sections to close as speedily as possible.—
Every act of the southern people goes to prove
to the contrary to what these journals are de'
daring. Those who do not come within the
exceptions mentioned in President -Jobnsoti’s
proclamation are taking the oath as speedily
as possible, and resuming the duties of peace
able citizens. The excepted classes are ap
plying for pardon rapidly, that they too may
remain unmolested in the civil routine of or
dinary business. Merchants are using their
most strenuous endeavors to resume the old
commercial intercourse with the merchants of
Northern cites, and their endeavors have been
received most kindly, and cordially recipro
cated, and the old feeling of friendship and
concord is being rapidly restord. Now is it
just to attribute all this to motives of duplici
ty—of arrant hypocrisy? Not and we
will not believe that the journals who talk
such stuff utter the sentiments of any con
siderable portion of the northern people.—
These over-zealous workers in the vineyard
of the Radicals are upon a false scent. If
they are following it wilfully the evil will re
coil upon them. If they are laboring under
misconceived notions, a little time will unde
ceive them. We are willing to believe that
they err not in malice, but are actuated by
jealousy for the honor and safety of the gen
eral government. Bnt, until they are assured
of the sure foundation of the grave charges
they prefer against us, would it not be mag
nanimity, at least, to exercise toward us a de
gree of charity ?
The people of the South, as well as those of
the North, have ample reason to deem the long
mooted question 'of States Rights as settled
forever. The settlement has been made hon
orably. They m >de the question one of milita
ry strength, and the decision was made against
them. They accept it as the Anal arbitrament
of a great political theory, have laid down their
arms and gone so far in the settlement that, to
retrograde now, would be to violate every
principle of honor and integrity and make us
a perjured community.
That the people may know how grossly we
are maligned, we submit the following extract
from an editorial which appears in the New
York Timet. “We have, by public and private
advices, the ever-recurring assertion that the
people of the South are conquered, not con
ciliated ; that they submit to force, not to rea
son ; that they are still trucculeot, revengeful,
and equal to any retaliatory action that rti.y
promise success ; that they treat the Emanci
pation Proclamation as of no i ffect; that they
retain by force, and coerce by tbv old style of
flogging, the mon and women who now owe
them no service; that they look upon with
suspicion, and trea with the utmost contume
ly, the Northern men whose duty or inclina.
Uuu leads them to their vicinity ; that they al
ia st unanimously regard the oath of Allegiance
as a thing of form only—a soda powder after
a grand debauch—an oath that it is not only
permissible to break, but, in fact, a virtue not
l > keep- as if it were taken under duress, and
that, therefore, the takers were not only ex
cusable but commendable lor breaking it.—
L th as we are to believe such r state of mo:-
al» possible in a fairly Civil z-‘<l community, we
must confess to tbe broad and disgraceful lac ;
L.i it is t<o true that thousands of men have
taken tbe oatb o ly for the purpose of betray-
ing its spirit, in voting fur most notoriously
disloyal men tor effloe.”
That is a fair index to the spirit of a column
and a half of vindictive spleen. Why it should
be vented agH.net us surpasses us to conjec
ture. We are sure that the people of the South
will be astonuh d that a popular and influen
tial journal in the metropolis of the United
States should be guilty of such gtoss nvs-state
ments, and we are willing to rely upon tbe tes
timony of any intelligent Southern man, who
has travelled through the South since the close
of tbe war, for tb< ir better refutation.
THE GOSPEL OF POLITICIANS.
If there is oue word which, above all oth
ers, should be struck from the lexicon of a
nation, it is “Policy.” It is the hobby upon
which unworthy and incompetent men ride
into places of high trust and power. So
soon as a man, who is conscious of his own
disability of attaining to any important posi
tion, conceives a desire for such preferment,
he raises a question of policy, saddles tbe
faith of a purblind populace upon its back,
bridles it with a bastard conception of inter
est and lashing it with the fury of bis ambi
tion, he mounts it and rides into power.
Policy is the great palladium of dema
gogues. They wield it with such ingenuity
that it becomes a power in the land. They
suspend it over the heads of the people like
the sword of Damocles, and bid the people
move as {hey are moved. It is the tool
which shapes the pliant masses. It is tbe
custodian of tbe ballot-box-selfainstated, but
dictatorial as a tyrant. It is a nightmare
that rides down the actual interest of the
people. It is tbe father of bastard laws, the
sire of war and its concomitant evils. It is
born of ambition, and cradled on tbe lap of
ignorance. It is a mastodon that stalks over
the land, staking terror to the souls of par
ties and crushing the vitality out of great
principles and creeds. It is a syren which
sings a dulcet song in the ear of the politis
cal aspirant, who seizes the refrain and thun
ders it into the earTif the people until they
accept if as a means without considering the
end.
No public mind ever shapes itself. It ri as
plastic clay in the bands of the potter, tak
ing shape according to the image tha* ia in
the mind of the artificer. It has been said that
’< poets are born, not made.” Tbe reverse is
the case with public opinion Few men have
settled opinions of their own. They are not
ready to act until the tide is raised by same
one who has the ambition or the audacity to
become tbe promulger of an opinion. They
then fall in with tbe current and drift along
with tt to tbe end of its aim—be it good or
bad.
Whatever may be the reputation for hon
esty borne by most politicians, they have the
credit of being honest in their efforts to pro
duce their own aggrandizement. Few of them
advocating a principle, pause to inquire
whether the people will be benefitted Uy it or
not, but 11 will it lift me any ? Is it policy
that I should advocate such and such a theo
ry ? Can I conceal my real end from the
people sufficiently to carry my point? Can
I make my measure popular ?”
Such politicians have been the bane of all
nations. They arc leaches upon their veins
sucking out the vital current. They praise
tbe Government they pretend to support while
they sap its foundation, and nullify its princi
ples. As long as such paiasites exist in the
councils of nations their praise, instead of
gpming from abroad, must explode “ from
witbin, from loud civic mouths.”
Arrested.—We are glad to learn that the
indomitable perseverance of General Salm
has enabled him to arrest two of the soldiers
who made tbe brutal and cowardly assault on
Judge Butt a few days ago. They were ar
rested in Nashville and brough back to this
city where they are confined in the Military
prison awaiting trial.
Gen. Salm deserves the thanks of the citi
zens for this manifestation of his disposition
to protect t iem from any outrage.
A loving couple, who had found “ the
course of true love does not run smooth,'
from tbe opposition of tbe bride's “ parent,”
who in turn.had extorted a promise from her
that she would never marry her lover on the
face of the earth, conceived tbe original idea
of marrying in tbe Mammoth cave, and in the
Gothic chapel they joined together in the holy
bonds of wedlobk, by tbe Rev. Dr. Edgar, of
this city.
Tbe Shelbyville Union of the 19th
inst. says : “We are informed by citizens of
L neoln county, that tbe prospect for an
abundant corn crop is not at all flattering.—
Tbe dronth has greatly damaged the corn,
and upon a reasonable estimate, not more
than a half crop will be made in that county
this season. Tbe wheat is generally light and
indifferent. Tbe fruit is almost ac entire
failure."
MT A few nights ago, says tbe Nashville Ga
zette, a lady passenger on board Capt. Fish 0.
Henry’s train, bound for Nashville, gave birth
to a bouncing boy, beyond Bowling Green.—
At last accounts the mother and babe were
doing wsll at Bowling Green. It is the in
tention of the paren s to name it after Fish.—
The little fith only weighs six pounds, but be
will be a whale if be grows up with such a
name.
w A petition has been sent to the Presi
dent by Dick McCann, appealing for protec
tion while be is in East Tennessee, and also a
statement of facts concerning bis case. It
was signed by a number of citizens of this
place.— Nathvijle Gazette.
tor Tbe Lynchburg and Petersburg papers
state that in some parts of Virginia the freed
negroes have declared that they will not as
sist in putting in a crop of wheat for lhe next
year. The reasons assigned for this is that
they have imbibed the notion that on tbe Ist
of January next the United States authorities
are going io parcel out among them tbe lands
belonging to their late masters.
fltgT The owners of the Bangor Democrat
have sued for $30,000 damug-s for the des
truction of their establishment by a mob in
1881.
Tbe county officers for nearly all the
counties of Arkansas have been appointed,
and the new State Constitution is in practical
operation. ,
WHAT •• KILLED COCK ROBIN ”
The New York papers are almost gloating
>vor the defeat of the Atlantic Cable. They
never saw any hope for success. Never be
lieved that, that wondrous "girdle” would
■ver be put nround tbe earth, and when the
lews of the failure of the cable received a
angible shape each sapient sheet, scratched
tt dignified head and exaculates “ I toldVyou
o ; didn't I."
The secret of this triumph of news papers
ver science does not lie very deep. It will
oe remembered that when the fleet was about
o sail, the universal press of London, tbe
United States and New Jersey was astouuded
>y the information that none of “ our own
orrespondents” would be admitten aboard
he fleet The men who were endeavoring to
arry out the great project, preferred not to
e bored by a full crew of meddlesom re
orters, and were willing to make their own
fficial statement of tbe progress and result
f the enterprise. But it failed, and there is
ot a doubt in the minds of the whole newss
uper world that tbe facture is oweing to tbe
Judicious exclusion of a corps of “ corres
ondents” and a brigade of “ special artists”
om tbe fleet. They are having a jubilation
ver tbe failure, flinging their malice at Mr
ield with a vengeance and earnestly asking
ow long it will be before “all right De Sauty’’
ashes through the bosom of tbe briny bil
ow. There be things that are great upon
arth, yet they make themselves seem mighty
ititle.

A BILL AT A PALACE OF SHODDY-
“Wa were a party of four—two ladies and
vo gentlemen—who, in consequence of re
viving a gold lettered invitation to Mrs. G.’s
rand reception, had, on tbe appointed even
og, proceeded, in state, to her showy resis
ence on the Fifth Avenue, New York—
hicb avenue, by tbe way, is believed by the
noddy, to lead to heaven direct.
“Our dressing room experiences were pecu
liar and suggestive of strange scenes to fol.
iw ; but being, as we believe, well endowed
itb tbe repose of tbe Nere de Veres, we de
fended toward tbe scene of action, with a
anquil consciousness of being, in every way,
jual to tbe occasion. At tbe very toot of
.e stairway we were accosted by no less per
-nages than the hostess hirself, and her
own up daughter. The latter looked pale
id anxious, but tbe mother, gorgeous in an
densely blue silk, and a huge coronet of
ink and purple artificial flowers, evidently
■it no misgivings. Both stared at us uncon
itionally. Suddenly a light .Hummed the
mntenance of the elder lady, as she broke
>rth in a loud emphatic tone :
“Well, I declare I Mrs D. and Mrs. E!—
ow do you do? And Miss E. 1 Glad to see
ou. I’m sure ; but the lights and every ihing
izzles me so, I don’t hardly know people.—
iry, my dear, this is Mr. E. and Mrs. D ,
itb kind friends of your pa, and Mr. E’s
iughter. (Aside to me:) Who did you say
iie other gentlemen was? Oh, yes I Mr.
tevens I Glad to see you, sir. you may de-.
■nd. Young gentlemen are so scarce.—
- ouldn’t hardly get up the party for it. The
ar, you see, takes tbe best of ’em off. Oh,
. reuse me—ha, ha 1 I didn't mean no offense.
ut every young gentleman at a party counts
, d e—don’t they, Miry ?”
“Lor’, ma I” simpered Miss G., blushing vio
-1 ntly. Here Mr. Stevens, always superbly
i aster of himself, gracefully hastened to tbe
i iscue, and in a moment Miry was laughing
i ie girlish laugh wh cb, thank Heaven 1 even
. noddy cannot make unmusical.
■‘Grac’ous 1” exclaimed thejhostess at last,
itb an apologetic start, “I ought to take you
Miry, sbe added, nodding her bead side
ise toward us, as sbe spoke—you must ins
1 'oduce them.”
“Ob, mother,” was tbe eoto voce reply, “I
< in’t do it —I feel too used up.”
“Yes, yon must,’ very austerely.
“I shan’t do it.”
“ Instinctively our devoted band, feeling
1 nat this introduction was inevitable, glanced
i t each other, to ascertain whether any spe
i al peculiarity rendered us unpresentable;
bat we were faultless.”
Myra pouted, and looked toward the anima
t d sea, aforesaid, as if contemplating a sui-
< idal plungt.
“ Myra Jane,” pursued the now irate moth
i r, “ do as I tell you, miss, and stop putting

•• Tbe refractory daughter wai conquered.'
“ Well, mother,” she replied, in a stage
< hisper, I’ll do it altogether, but I can’t in
i oduce them separate I”
“ Thus encouraged, we humbly followed the
. rung lady, and after being presented, in a
i ost novel and remarkable manner, to the
i aring mermaids and mermen, we found our
i Ives slowly drifting toward an anchorage
i the glittering saloon.
Young faces were there, radiant with in
i'nse enjoyment; older faces, with a startled,
I uzzled look upon them aS though the unac-.
< istomed scene wrought -more anxiety than

“ Meanwhile, the violins, being under treat

i dancholy squaks. Groups of gentlemen.
V io seemed to have recently been presented

I Neglected dames were sublime in wretched

v rose coiffures rivalled the H -nging Gardens
< Babylon ; and youths and maidens all
j rfently, more or less afflicted with the dance
< 1 St. Vitus, were chatting merrily together.
Cf these I can say that
“ Tbeir voices low with fashion,
Not with feeling, softly freighted
All the air about the windows
With elastic laughters sweet.”
II truth—“and pity, 'tie, ’tie true’—shrill

less than one thousand applications. The
President has exercised the utmost caution
and discretion in tbe matter of pardons.
The Post’s special says the President is
somewhat annoyed al tbe fact that certain
persons have been accepting money for their
influence in obtaining pardons.
He states to-day that he wished the fact to

mends themselves for clemency.

did not want to see him or ever hear his name
mentioned.
Wlrz» Trial:
Washington, Aug. 22.—There was a mo
tion made to quash ( barges specified against

The Commissioners overruled, and tbe pris
oner then plead not guilty. The court then
adjourned.
New York Fire.
New York, Aug. 23 —The fire broke out

FURTHER FROM THE CABLE.
From the New York Evening Pott we take
the following dispatch relative to tbe cable:
Hbabt’s CoNTENT. August 15, via Aspy
Bat, Augusi 17. war steamers
Terrible and Galatea arrived at St. Johns,
N. F., at nine o’clock on Tuesday evening, the
15th instaut.
The steamship Great Eastern returned to
sbeerness on tbe lltb instant.
Captain Napier reports as follows :
“Tbe cable parted on Wednesday, the 2d
instant, at noon, in nineteen hundred and
fifty fathoms of water.
“ It was then grappled for three different
times and raised twelve hundred, nine hun
dred, and six hundred fathoms, respectively.
“ Each time the grappling broke, but the
cable remained unbroken.
“The Great Eastern returned to England
for sironger and bette‘ grappling gear.”
Mr. Varley, one of tbe electricians, writes
most encouragely in regard to the cable.—
He says :
“We found no difficulty whatever in grap
pling tbe cable, even in ibe greatest depth of
water. As soon aa proper cackle is prepared
we will probably commence grappling for the
cable again, one hundred miles east of tbe
break, where the water is only fifteen hun
dred fathoms deep. The buoy rides the gales
well, being fastened by pieces of condemned
cable.
“ Mr. Field is in good health and spirits.”
Kentucky Tobacco Chop —The Cincinnati
Times says, from reliable information from va
rious sec'iona of the S itu, it ban been ascer
tained that the growing crop of tobacco will be
far less than that of last year, both in quality
and quantity. In the more southern portion
of the State, and Tennessee, what is denomi
nated as Clarkesville leaf is equally short, tbe
impression prevailing that tbe yield will not
much exceed half the usual average. A letter
from Todd county, Kentucky. Irom an intelli
gent observer, whois not a tobacco grower or
buyer, slates tbe results of his investigation
that, under the most favorable circumstances!
u two-thirds crop, as compared with last yeir’
will not be grown this year iu that whole re
gion. Willi late planting and tbe hazards cf
early frosts, that estimate is very liable to fall
short.
An old prediction of Napoleon is recalled
by one of our cotemporarius. At St. Helena
he said :
Ere tbe close of the nineteenth century,
America will be convulsed by one of the
greatest revoluti ns llie worbl ever witnessed
Should it ru ceed her power and prestige are
lost; but should the Government maintain her
supremacy, sbe will be on a firmer basis than
ever. Tbe theory of republican from of gov
ernment will be establisned, and she can C >-
fy the combined pow rs of the world.
