OUll MV STATUS.
The great change which has recently oc
curred in the domestic civilization of the
South, has led many to suppose that we
are hopelessly ruined. Without doubt, this
internal revolution is unprecedented in its
radical thoroughness, no less than in its vast
magnitude. Every man in a slaveholding
community, whether he owns slaves or not,
is practically » slaveholder, since his trade
or business is sustained by the products ot
slave-labor. On this account, our loss of
property in slaves is a loss to the entire popu
lation. But, al the same time, we are not to
conclude that this loss is ruinous. Ruinous
it cannot be, &SMMS Me peculiar constitution of
Suit kern soeety preserves it from ruin.
We have italicized these words so as to
give them emphasis The reasons, on which
this conclusion rests, are palpable enough for
any intellect to appreciate. Had the amount
of properly in slaves been invested in mer.
cautile or manufacturing interests aud such a
convulsion as we have experienced, sweptit
out of our hands, the immediate and proa
pntive consequences would have been inconi
pirably more damaging to our own tortuues
and to the monetery affairs of the world.
Such a revolution would have been instantly
followed by all the horrors of political an
archy, by the pbrenzy of universal destitu
tion, by the terrible crimes that feed on blood
when blood becomes the only sustenance of
passion. From these gigantic evils, the na
ture of our peculiar civilization has preserv
ed ns. It was a civilization founded on prop
erty in the land and not directly on the slaves
who cultivated the land. It was a civiliza
tion distinct io its form, independent in its
spirit and exclusive, s< far as legarded any
close complications with the outside whirl of
commercial excitements. It stood aloof from
the busy world. It held its own ground, in
vented its own methods, originated its own
maxims. Its bom 8 were the purest and hap
piest on the face of the earth ; its means and
resources were thoroughly domestic in dis
tinction from what is social and foreign. A
civilization so constituted was competent to
sustain a mighty shock, simply for the reason
that it was so much more natural aud so much
less artificial than any other mode of society.
The next point worthy of notice is, that the
curatirt powers, in such a civi ization are
infinitely greater than in any other form of
the body social. Political economists like
Chalmers, Mill, McCullough, have frequently
dwelt upon the “ vis naturae" as applied to
nations. The views they present, are logical
aud conclusive. War generally creates the
very power, which directed subsequently to
the arts of peace, more than compensates for
the material devastation that it produces. In
the instance of the South, this remedial agen
cy will be more quickly and more fully res
torative than has ever before been exhibited.
None of the evils of a denso, compact, diversi
fied state of society exist la our midst. No
turbulent masses, ready for vindictive out
breaks, threaten our stafiili y. We are com
paratively free from debt. We own a fruitful
eoil and we have the means to render it in
stantly productive and immensely profitable.
As to labor, all uneasiness about it is a gra
tuitous way of being miserable. Labor is
like gravitation ; it will take care of itself;
it will subordinate everything to its rule ; for
i-is a primary and fundamental fact that no
circumstances can long interrupt, and no fac
titious legislation vitally impair. If we have
lost four years, the world has gained four
years of accumulation and hence, has four
y ears increased capacity to stimulate our iu
d "y and reward its exertions.
F cts are at hand to verify these argu
ru ns. Not four months have elapsed since
our people began to resume the pursuits of
peace, and what a work has already been ac
complished ? A work inward and outward ;
a wuk of quiet pacification, of patriotic sub
tension to authority, of reconciliation to stern
circumstances, of bouest tnd arduous eflor,
with knotted muscles and mighty will to
rebuild the fallen fortunes of the land and re
instate the sovereignty of political, commer
cial and domestic order. If, in this respect,
we have not shown ourselves men—true, loy
al, genuine men—we know not by what stan
diru, manhood is to be determined. Selfish
uess of intellect is always mean, and envy is
ever miserly in its appreciation. But gener
ous minds will do us the justice to admit
that if we were heroic in war, we have been
still more heroic in peace, accepting the ver
dict of Providence and with the silence of
sad, but truthful hearts, by the sacramental
vows of truhlful actions, rather than by pom
pous promises, seeking and striving to restore
the reign of tranquility. Fanaticism still
distrusts us. Its distrust is our highest
praise. Ila distrust is only the innocent, ar
t.stic shadow that sets in relief broader and
more vivid, the general light of returning
brotherhood. Thanks to the manhood which
God give us and which, He has resplendent
)y viudica ed by blessings even greater and
m »re significant than His chastisements, we
have indomitably upheld our self-respect
alike in the past and in the present, alike in
the days of bloody conflict and in the days of
restored fellowship. Believe in your hearts,
Heroes of the South, that the late struggle has
not terminated disastrously to your real in
terests. It has ended adversely to your hopes
but not adversely to your providential wel
fare. The openings of your future were nev
er as cheering, and the seal of Heaven was
never as plainly set upon your fortunes. On
this faith, you can calmly rest. lu this faith,
you can find the inspiration of work, the
gladness of sustaining joy, and al) the means
needed to achieve your awaiting destiny
First among your sacred duties is to sustain
honestly and faithfully, the authority of
government as divinely established over you
and your interests, and, by reciprocating its
oilices of protection and sympathy, thus build
up on the massive foundations beneath you,
the noble superstructure of a future civilizi
lion.
The Treasury Department has order* d
<he ! mting of compound iutereit notes to
OIK WOMEN.
We have a word for our women. It is a
kind wotd, a polite word, a truth til word. It
is a word .from our heart and tn m the beans
of like-minded men to their hearts and it is
uttered with gteeting.
Do not forget that you have your work to
perform in re constructing the order and pros
perity and peice of the c< untry. Although
your part of .he great tus-k is more quiet aud
private ti an ours, it is on lhat very account,
more personal and hence more determinable
by individual temper and spirit. A prompt,
cheerful, resolute acquiisconce in the ‘situa
tion” is your fi st and highest du y. Resigna
tion to providential circumstances is u gieat
human virtue but it is pre-eminently a woman
ly virtue, since it is through her example, that
it becomes a social virtue, soothing and saluta
ry io rougher and ruder dispositions. Some
times, women have away ot cherishing their
tusforiunis. They fall in love with ihern. —
They fondle and caress them. They make vety
pretty pels of ttie ugly sorrow. A spice ot ro
mance is in their devotion and they bravely re
tuse to be comforted. It there be any such
among our women, they wi.l pray renumber
that their precious uff ctions aud earnest hero
ism can be put to belter s-’.vtce aud far the
setviC”, command a higher premium.
A woman cannot value her womanhood tee
highly. But it is quite possible that she may
value it falsely. She may even act presump
tuously by reason ot her excessive confidence
tu its privileges. Such a woman would do
well to remember that privileges are not sy
nonymous with prerogatives, and moreover,
that power, it < verslrained, is Certain to ex
buust Itself in chrome imb.cl ty. It any of
our w< men should be tempt'd to indulge in ill—
traisms of behavior in the presence 01 Federal
officers and soldiers, we trust lhat they will re
collect, thatsuch inst.tires of rudeness ate uot
natural to them uor to their breeding and are
f.rfrom being either signs ot good sense or
marks of good taste. Waspishness is uot an
accomplishment and pertness is but one re
move from impertinence. The ornament ol a
meek and quiet spirit is the ornament that Heav
en has bestowed upon woman ; uor should she
lorget that it this is sacr ficed, her other charms
share its fate.
ABOUT HAYTI.
Our own national trouoies have been of so
much moment, s»ys the N- w York World. that
our people lave over looked the civd war
which has been raging in the little negio re
public of Hayti for Some time past. Yet, ate
low.ng lor the ttnuness of the ; opu.atiou there,
lhe contest has been proporttonably as Sana
guina yas our own. Grtfrard, the ruling Pres
ident, is a man ot good repute to the outside
woiid ; but a large minority, at leas', Os the
Hytiaus profess to believe that he is a minis
ter ol libertinism ami cruelty. As be has de
clared b m-iell President f r hie, there is no
way ol gening rid ot him, except by revolu
tion, aud this is uow being tried. By the la
test reports it seems the insurgents have gain
ed important military successes, end Uieie wag
a lair chance of their fluai success tu clearing
G> ffi .rd out ot the country.
The revolutionists are led by a c immittee ol
ten chiefs, who nave sent a comrniisioner to
W.isbingion to lay their side of the question be
loie the United oiates government, so that no
action prejudicial to their interests snail be
taken. As the G ffr .rd minister has beeu du
ly recoguiz-d, of course the rebel ccmiuirs.o .er
must be received informally, it at all.
L matters very little what the issue of the
present c.uteri in Llryti may be. Toe bastard
race ot neg oes who inhabit that beautiful is
land will never live peaceably together or de
velop its great resources. It is written in the
book ot destiny that the islands in, as well as
the shores ot, the Gulf of Mex co, will yet be
under the dominion of the great Anglo-Amer
ican race. Then, and not until then, will their
marvelous resources be develped.
A sp-cial to lhe Herald from Wash ng
tou of the 29 h, states that as the Post master
General is just at pres, nt devoting a large share
of bis lime to the establishment of post offices
aud the extension of postal facilities in lhe
Southern States, it may be pr< fitable to recall
the workings of this d> puitineut. Before the
secession of these States lor mttiy years, if uot
Irom tne establishment ol the department, mere

it amounted to $4,064 239 ; in 1862 to $2 932.-
566 ; 1864 to only $249 313 : in 1865 tt.e ear
nings ot the department exceeded Us < xpeudi
tutes $6,898,954.

BY TELEGRAPH.
From the Press
Highly Important from Mexico.
New Youk, September B.—The Herald’s
Vera Cruz correspondent of August 28th says
that since the sailing of the Vera Cruz on the
18th inst, there has been but one engagement
of note, and that is the capture and abandon
ment of the Cbuacan city of Wert of ten
thousand inhabitants, nearly thirty three
leagues south of the city of Oresaba, a week
ago to day. The Commissioner of the Aus
trian troops then was informed of the ap
proach of a body of Liberals. He immedi
ately made application to the Perfect for as
sistance, and was furnished with a few aux
iliary troops, and ot their lead they marched
out to meet lhe approaching enemy, whom be
found to be a formidable force under the coms
mand of the gallant Liberal commander, Gen
eral Fequero, whose force, having been aug
mented by reinforcements under the command
of Col. Cholordeas, presented quite an array.
The commander of the Imperialists saw bis
only safety was in flight, and at once retreat
ed to the town, where, being met by the Pre
fect of the District, the latter advised the
evacuation of the city, but the commandant
chose to make an effort of defence, and retired
with bis force to a convenient point, hoping
there to resist the Liberals until succor could
be obtain d from the adjoining towns ; but
the L beral army at once surrounded the
town and compelled his surrender. Couriers
were despatched north toOrizaba by the Per
fect warning them of the approach of the
enemy, and reinfoncements were at on.ee sent
to gel with Chaxson a detachment of French
troops. In fact, the entire garrison of Oriza
ba was ordered there. General Fegueroa and
Col. Chattodias, however, had no intention of
remaining in tne town, and after securing all
the arms and ammunition belonging to the
garrison, raised a foreed loan of $20,000, and
levying on wea thy and foreign purposes for
one hundred and nine thousand dollars, they
left. That it was a strategical coup de main
is very apparent. To have held the town
wou d have required all the Liberal troops in
that State, and, strategically, the city is of no
importance. This is perhaps the most suc
cessful enterprise within several months, and
the Imperialists try in vain to depreciate the
truth. The policy pursu’d by the Imperalists
seems to be an insane one. There are only
13,000 troops, and they are divided into a
hundred different bodies now, and then sepa
rated. There is not one protected higbwayin
Mexico. The only reinforcements to this force
is the arrival of five hundred men, mostly
from France. No force less than one hundred
thousand men will ever subjugate this coun
try. Commerce is ruined; there are no ex
ports save bullion sent to France. Mr. Nayes,
sn American citizen, and Assistant Engineer
of the Imperial Mexican Railroad, and Major
Anderson, brother of Gen. Anderson, had
been arrested but were soon discharged with
apoligies from the civil authorities. The ar
rests were made because Mr. Nayes’ children
laughed at a drsnken French soldier who fell
in the street. The Imperalists wer» chuck
ling over the supposed material reduction of
Sheridan’s forces in Texas.
Tile Militia lu Mississippi.
Nbw Orleans, Sept 7.—The Times’ Jack
son special says that G«n. Slocum has recalls
ed his order in opposition to Gov. Sharkey's
call for the militia. Gov. Sharkey is out in a
letter embodying that portion of the Presi
dent’s proclamation which sustains the Gov
ernor in the case of Sharkey and Slocum.—
The President says that a military force can
be organized sufficient to enforce the civil
authority of the State and the United States,
and it would enable the Federal Government
to withdraw its forces to a great extent from
the State, and thereby reduce the enormous
expense of the military there to suppress any
insurrectionary movemen.
Jackson, Sept. 6.—Troops are arriving
here, preparatory, it is thought, of evacua
ting the State. The people rejoice at the idea
of the restoration of civil authority.
The marine barracks at the foot of the bill
near Vicksburg was burned Tuesday night by
an incendiary.
New York Sept. 9.—The Tribune’s Wasti
ington special lays that during the progress
of the trial to-day, one of Wirz’s counsel took
Up an illustrated paper depicting the horrors
of his prison pen, the prisoner examined it
intently for several minutes, and then passed
back the paper with ill-coucealed emotion.—
The evidence to-day was of unusual interest,
and the court room was densely crowded
with ladies and gentlemen, among whom
were the Hon. Arthur Kennard, M. P., and
Louis Jennings, correspondent of the London
Times. Several official documents which
fell into our hands upon the capture of Rich
mond, were presented and fully authenticated
by Capt. 0. M. Lee, of the Confederate War
Deprrtment. There is much more evidence
of the same sort, which clearly implcate Je'L
Daiisandihe rebel Government in a full
knowledge and acquiescence in the unheard
of barbarities. Indeed, Gen. Winder is pro
moted uPon an official presentation of his
cruelties and recommended removal.
The Government has the names and resi
dences of several thousand of official priso
ners who might be summoned to testify, but
their recital would be but recitals already tes
tified to, but few if any more union soldiers
W'll be called to the stand. A large number
of rebel civilians and officers are here, and
will be called upon to testify for the prosecu
tion.
New York, Sept. 9.—Gold rather stronger,
the average quotation for the morning being
144 J. The city of Washington and Hosea
take out together $217,709 in specie. The
total export for the week is $422,202.
The Evening Post says it has beeu informed
that A. H. Stephens on Iwo occasions made a
d reel appeal to Jeff. Davis for leave to examine
the Andersonville prison, and authority to
remedy abuses ; that he represented to Davis
the wrongs aud cruelties practiced, but received
for reply that the officers in charge were ca a
ble aud trustworthy men, and should not be
interterred wlih, for which reason Mr. Stephens’
requests were denied.
Washington, Sept 9 —Lieut Col. Chand er
formerly in the rebel service, who tnide an in
spection of the Andersonville prison, teniti<d
as lo the indifference of General Winder as to
the comfort and health of the prisoners. Win

half the prisoners die Fo that they could take
care of the remainder. Winder was promoted.
Washington. Sept 9.—Such . t late has been

A Novel Duel. -A quarrel took place about
some trifle between Sir Edward K . an Eng-
lish gentleman, very well known in Paris, a> d
another sportsm in not less famous, the Baron
R . The seconds had in vain endeavored
to reconcile them, and it w is necessary to have
recourse to arms ; but, as both the principals
were first rale shots aud swordsmen, it was
agreed that they should fight with cigars.—
Two cigars, similar in every external respect,
but one of them prepared in such a m inner
that it should explode and prove fatal to the
smoker, were placed on a table. The comba
tants drew lots for the first choice. Tne novel
weapors ot war were then lighted, and after a
few puffs an explosion took place, and Sir Ed
ward fell on his back He, however, immedi
ately got up, and was surrounded by his sec
onds ; while his adversary offered him his
hand. “Gentlemen,” th. n said one of the sec
onds, “you have both shown the greatest, cour
age, since you were boiti ignorant of the eff cts
of the explostan. M. H , (the other see >nd
aud I agreed ouly to pul a little gun cotton in
one of the cigars —and now let us go to dinner.
May such be the end of every duel.” The
meeting is said to have taken place on the Bel
gian frontier.
We copy the following from the Pes
tersburg Index : “We were shown, yesterday,
a letter from an inmate of Gen. Lee’s houses
hold, describing the domestic, quiet life that
the noble old soldier is living iu Cumberland
county, and containing sufficient information
in regard to his plans for the future to justify
us in saying that the love for Virginia, which
has controlled his past life, will bind him to
her during the remainder of it.”
During the mouth of August there
were adjusted, by the Fourth Auditor’s Office,
one thousand seven hundred and thirty-eight
cases, involuing nearly tw<> hundred thous
and dollsrs. During the same period, two
thousand five hundred and six claims were
recorded.
Stay" The citizens of Sullivan county, In
diana, have had a meeting for the purpose of
devising means to keep negroes out of the
county. The people of Perry county, in the
same State, have passed resolutions that ne
groes shall not come there to stay.
The bealih of the emigrants who have
arrived at Quebec this season is reported as re

A letter writer describing fashionable cos
tumes as he saw them ou Chesnut street, Phila
delphia. says : “I observe that the prevailing
style of garters was blue.” The style of dress
enabled him to make the observation.

the 4th, among whom are B. B. Yancey, of Ala
bama. and L. C. Findley, of Virginia, a former
editor of the Richmond Dispatch.
