says:

They are frightened, and with reason.

What shall we oppose to the Radicals?
Endurance and honor that will conseut to
no humiliation, a masterly inactivity that
trusts in the filial victory of right. Our
course is clear. In the language of the
accomplished editor of the Mobile Register,
the South will not purchase political pri
vileges to which it is entitled by the Con
stitution of the country, at the price ol dis
honor. Indeed the South has made all
the concessions it means to make to resto

and second, because faith has not been

About Ghostw.
Ghosts, from the foundation of the
world down to the present time, have been
in the habit of intruding themselves upon
the notice of mankind, uot only ghosts, but
also witches, hags, demons, imps, (e. g. the
Bottle Imp,) apparitions and shadows
have at times convulsed mankind with awe
and curiosity. Sometimes ghosts come
when they are called for, wheu the Witch
of Endor invoked Samuel for the enter
tainment of Saul. At other times they
present themselves unsolicited, as in the
case of
Hamlet
good and sufficient reasons for the ghost's
appearance to he found in the unsatisfac
tory condition of his affairs at the time of
his death, or in the gross wrongs and in
justice which i^ad been perpetrated upon
him while living.— But in very many ca
ses ghosts come hack without any sort of
rhyme or reason, and seem to take a ma
lieious pleasure in supernatural frolic-
iug.^
We do not know that ghosts are given
to whiskey, but many of them certainly
behave very inexplicably. Perhaps it is
because, as disembodied spirits, they are
“out of their heads.”—There is no accoun
ting for the freaks and whims of ghosts,
and we have never yet 6een any one
who could keep the run of them. Some-
of the machine it says a man touching the
keys of the instrument, as rapidly as prac
tice can enable him to do, sets in motion
the type, whioh rush to their places in
line, and the machine also distributes,
without a guide, all the type to their ap
propriate places. The company who own
the patent have been experimenting for a
long time. They regard the experiment
ing as ended, and are now about to manu
facture machines to order.

THE TYPE SETTING MACHINE.
In this age ofimprovement and advance

more calculated to revolutionize old and
accustomed systems than the Alden type
setting machine. A large folio, descrip
tive and illustrative of its working, has
been published iu New York, and the at

been directed to its capabilities. Since

adventurous studeuts thought they would
investigate the habits of Chillis. So one
night they visited his stamping ground,
With nervous apprehension and excite
ment they approached the spot, and sure
enough, they were greeted with something
between a whoop and a screech, which
proceeded from a white object with horns
and feathers upon its head. They took to
their heels, of course, but subsequently
learned that the source of their terror was
to the present day the only machinery in
general use for putting type into the or
der necessary to spell words. In fact, it
would seem that a soul would be necessa
ry in a machine, since judgment and skill
are so necessary. But it has often been
remarked that if such a machine could be
made as that which manufactures cards
for wool and cotton, it ought to be practi

We believe that most ghosts can be van
quished by a good cudgel or Colt’s revol
ver, and the demonstration of sufficient
ments of its iron fingers. The difficulties
which surround type-settiug are, however,
of a higher character. It is necessary to
have a mind at work in spelling words,
and all that can be attained, therefore, is
nerve for their employment.—Richmond ( tp give the human mind an aid in exeett

is a machine which will enable the mind to
work rapidly in arranging letters. It
may be that we shall want a capital B or
a Roman “bad,” or an Italic "bad" or a
small capital “bad,” or large capital
“BAD,” or any one of a score of varia
tions which can be suggested by a glance
over the variety of types used on this
page. The thinker must be at work,
therefore, ami the machine must obey
each variation and shade of thought.
The Alden machine has been tried in
the office of the New York Tribune, and
that paper a few days ago expressed a
highly satisfactory opiuiou of its capabili
ties. Taking the statement there made
as a trust worthy verdict on trial, we are
led to believe that the problem has been
solved- and that thi3 machine will become
at once a necessity iu every printing office
iu the world.
The New York Journal of Commerce
declares that they have examined the ma
chine while at work, and the result of
their observations confirm the views ex
pressed by the Tribune, and in speaking
seem to regard with triumph, is, in reali
ty, most dishartening to them. The
Democrats, although their candidate was
defeated, have gained in the State over
ten thousand votes since the last political
conflict with their opponents. They re
garded the result as proof of a general and
permanent reaction against the reigning
fanaticism, as to guarantee the future tri
umphs of the unwearied and faithful De
mocracy.
They also derive encouragement from
the fact that this election took place in a
New Eugland State; that New England
is the stronghold of Radicalism; the last
part of the country where a reaction
would naturally begin; and that a consid
erable reaction in a New Eugland State is
a symptom of a wider and deeper change
of public sentiment in States less given
over to political fanaticism.
A further noteworthy circumstance is
the rapidity of the change; it haying ee | l
mainly accomplished within tne last out

known that the Presidential sympathies

| The following extract from a letter
which we understand is now being circu

of attracting emigration therefrom to. the

and we cheerfully give it a place iu our
columns. We have no doubt it will Lave
a good effect, particularly as its state

grand destiny is opened to the South, de
spite the ravages of the dread conflict
through which its people have just passed,
we cannot doubt. Indeed, when at the
close of that conflict a fearful gloom and
despondency seemed to prostrate all its
energy and blight its hopes of the future,

The Southerners, satisfied that their
own interests aud the interrest of the ne
gro race in this country were identical ;
seeing that the conflict between free and
slave labor was inevitable, determined to
meet the exigency at once, hoping for
peaceable secession, hut ready to stake
all they had or hoped for on the issue.—
For four years, exertions and saciiflces
almost incredible were made, the negro re
maining comparatively neutral.
At last, overpowered by tbe gigantic re
sources of the North, perceiving the im
possibility of attaining their end and es
tablishing a government based on slave
labor, and forced to submit, tbe South, to
use the current phrase, “accepts the situ
ation,” and giving up the negro, is willing
to act in conjunction with the people of
the North, letting the darkies die out or
help themselves as best they can, leaving
it for future ages to decide who were right
and who were wrong.
Products and Productions of the South.
As practical men, the Southerners are
rapidly adapting themselves to the new
state of affairs. Formerly, plantations
were of immense extent, many of them
containing from one to twenty thousand
acres of land. Manures were but slightly
appreciated, as the custom obtained of cul
tivating the largest possible number of
acres cf new or virgin lands (frequently
from thirty to sixty acres of Indian corn
or maize to each horse and two hands) for
a few years, and as that deteriorated, fresh
fields were cleared.

of adopting a reduced tariff of charges for

During the four years of the war, all
the energy and enterprize of the Southern
States were devoted to the army, and its
necessities, consequently internal improve

neglected, and those formerly completed

that the war is over, attention is again
turned to advancing such interests, and
the energy exhibited is truly encourag

Present Wants of the South.
The two great obstacles are—first, the
want of capital; second, want of laborers.
The 6udden ending of the “rebellion”
found us without a circulating medium
(Confederate notes being worthless), and
capital locked up in various ways, so that
it was impossible to realize ready money
immediately without ruinous sacrifices;
and the emancipation of the slaves, on
the people to dispose of their lauds to the
negroes, whose indolence, thriftlessness
and dishonesty would render them nuis
ances to the whole neighborhood, and up
on their very reasonable reluctance to re
ceive among them the scoundrels who,
having despoiled them of their moveable
property, and used their official position to
embarrass enterprise and depress industry,
are desirous of availiug themselves of the
depreciation wrought by themselves to
profitably invest their ill-gotten wealth in
the deserted lands of those whom they
have deprived of the labor to cultivate
them. The people of the South will wel
come capital and labor whencesoever it
may come, prot ided it be honestly em
ployed, and be devoted to developing
resources and reviving their industry.—
And Gov. Orr’s letter, though discussing
the question of foreign immigration, ap
peals also to the capitalist and laboring
man of the North; and for good reasons
; the people of the South are particularly
interested in the settlement of the right
whom we have depended for laborious oc- kind of Northern men among them. Gov.
cupations, leaves us in an unsettled state.
This past year’s experience demonstrates
that but little reliance can be placed on
the freedman ; he is constitutionally lazy,
and utterly unprepared for the change
thus suddenly thrust ou him. Heedless
of the morrow, aud content with little of
this world’s goods, he trusts to chance for
the future. In fact, folly nine-tenths of
them at this time refuse to contract with
the land-owners for the ensuing year;
and thousands of them are cougregating
ou the low; lands of the sea coast and
islands.
The Abolitionist, instead of benefiting
the negro, has done him an irreparable in
jury, for the inevitable result will be his
disappearance from this country.
Granting that many evils attended sla
very, ) et it had its benefits. Taken as
a class, no more happy and contented
peasantry were to be found than the
Southern slaves.
Four out of five Notherners or foreign
ers, no matter what their preconceived
ideas were, after residing here a tew years,
and becoming acquainted with the true
state of affairs, adopted the Southeru
view.
A smaller amount of labor enables a
man to iiv9 here, aud live well, than in
most, I may say, any other country. The
winter is a season of comparative leisure
aud enjoyment to the farmer. A few
month’s work, from March to October,

Certain Extinction of the Negro Popula-
■ tion.
Under the new regime, the negroes, de
prived of the protection of their former
masters, like the native Indians, must
give way to the white mar.. Already
smallpox and other diseases are sweeping
them away by scores. Were it necessary
or useful a number of cases might be cited
where already they have been more than
decimated, where gangs have even been
reduced iu one or two years, notwithstand
ing the provision made for them by the
Fedetal Government, to one-half or one-
third their original numbers.
Orr has the statesmanship to see that the
great want of the South is white popula
tion and mechanical and manufacturing
industry, and we commend his earnest la
bor to supply that waut. When these
shall be obtained, the South will be on the
direct road to prosperity never before ex
perienced in her history.
Wit in the Right Place.—One
of the early Methodist preachers, an
itinerant for more than fifty years, was
remarkabie for his combination of deep
piety and genuine wit. His name
was Phineas Rice.
While he was stationed in one of the
New York Churches, he found that
many of tbe young people, of both
sexes, were accustomed to leave the
church before the close of the even
ing service. It annoyed him, and he
determined to stop it. The next Sab
bath evening, beiore he commenced
his sermon, he said: “Some of my
brethren have been greatly afflicted
that so many young women leave
church before the service is through.
But I tell them they ought not to feel
so, for doubtless most of them that go
out are young women who live at ser
vice, and their mistresses require them
to be at home at nine o’clock ; and,
it they are not home at that time,
they will either lose their places or of-
lerid their mistresses, and they don’t
wish to do either. They must either
go out in time to get home at nine
o’clock, or stay at home altogether.
This would be very hard for them ;
and servant girls have beaux as well
as other girls, and the young men have
to go out to wait upon them home; so
hereafter, when these young women
leave church before the service is over,
you will understand who they are, and
uot feel badly about it. The brother
who gave this fact said: “We were
no more annoyed after this; they
either stayed away, or stayed till the
meeting was closed.”
