.... in THE \«HTH MDBOF A LODGE BOOM
««' ' US OARKMCS* >
The conn u»n!j uc« t?U‘ d answer to this
• „j r y - made by master workmen, that
rises in tbe East, reaches the zenith
, , ~ - .nth, and sets in the West, is appli
" t/e only to the Northern Hemisphere.
Hut as Ancient Freemasonry is universal,
; answer does not only not satisfy the
inquiring brother of the Southern He mis-.
her e. but assorts a direct contradiction to
what be knows to be an actual fact; for
there the sun reaches the zenith In the
Xortb, the South being in darkness.
* How, then, could brethren reconcile
t his matter who lived antipodes?
Whence came this answer, except as a
waif of base origin?
Was it from a cloistered workman, who
locked not outside of hia own cell to he
boid the condition of bis own brethren
and their surroundings ?
Was it from a student who was lost in
the mazes of anew science, without com
j.:,,* or chart to guide him safe through
hia difficulties ?
I fear that many teachers of Masonry
desert their Text Book before they have
learued the alphabet, or perhaps discard
it entirely, and hear its lessons taught only
on Hah bath, ami then for mere form’s sake,
that they might not be accounted liber
tines. atheists or infidels.
From whence does all Masonic Light
spring, save from the “Great Light” ever
f.und burning upon tire Mason's altar?
When darkness reigns we should turn us
t j ibis true Light, and behold the beau
ties wnicb surround it. Can doubt then
linger, or will truth longer -be concealed?
Hince the formation of a Lodge room is
anilagnus to the great theatre upon which
all mankind must play their part, as
shown by the peculiar construction and
fitting up of the Temple, we are warranted
iu sayiDg that he who devised this mag
nificent structure was well acquainted
with the past, as well as the then present
history of the world, knowing the dispo
sitions of men and nations, as well as of
tint rotary motions of the planets; and as
in that age all instruction was given out
by symbols and actual representations, he
desireil to impress iiis people with an ira
pnrtant lesson, that, though there were
several mediums whereby to gain useful
knowledge, yet they must also guard against
the entrance of that knowledge which
was destructive in its effects, aud which
would destroy the happiness of man, and
sap the foundation of natious ; that evil
should be ke, t out of the hearts of men,
and abominations from entering a nation.
This had been made apparent from the
former history of the Jews ; their years of
freedom and prosperity had been marked
by all the abominations of the heathen,
aud for which they had again been brought
Into bondage and poverty.
Is it any wonder then, that the “Great
I Am,” should thunder from the mouths
of ills prophets, to warn his chosen peo
ple of their great danger, and to assure
them of llis great desire to rescue them.
He had raised up special leliverers, who
had brought them forth from suffering
and bondage, yet in their prosperity, they
shut not tiie gate that gave ingress to evil
abominations— yet again it was line upon
line, line upon line, precept upon precept,
precept upon precept, warning after warn
ing, warning after warning, and these
brought into their midst by special mes
sengers, at the risk of losing their own
lives, proclaimed from the corners of
streets as well as from Synagogues; yet
notwitstanding all these, tire cry was
heard, “Let Ephraim alone, heis joined to
his idols.”
Head the prophet Ezekiel, and behold
the abominations that are there pictured,
even were they seen through a hole dug
in the wall,aud the threatening, merciless
enemy, ready to enter by way of the North.
Hee the image of jealousy set at the Nortli
gate to remind idolatrous Israel, that God
wasa jealousGod.and that He would suffer
none to enter the hearts of his people but
Himself. Bee condemnation and destruc
tion enter the gate toward the North, af
ter that the glory of God was gone.
Head tha prophet Jeremiah, and behold
the evil that should enter by way of the
North.
lit'iiii the prophet Daniel, and behold
the overthrow of the Jewish nation ; that
after a lapse of seventy weeks the wicked
should make au end of their transgres
sions. Reh.Tfd a mighty Prince that comes
by way of. the North and overruns the
whole country, yet his cruelty shall return
uato him. All the prophets speak of an
unprincipled enemy coining by way of the
North, such as shall destroy, for the sake
of destruction, asking for uo quarter, and
giving none. And even when the word
N T orth is not used, a reference to the geo
graphical situation will show that the
persecuting armies always had their posi
tion in tlie North. How necessary, then,
should ttie door that admits evil be secure
ly tvled, whether in the hearts of individ
uals, withiu the walls of a Masonic Lodge,
within the precincts of earthly associa
tions, or within the just principles that
govern a natiou.
All modern history reiterates the prin
ciples exemplified by the ancients. The
Northmen have ever been savage iu their
oouquest* and brutal in their conduct to
wards subjugated natious ; fire and sword
have ever been their implements of war- ■
fare ; blackened ghosts of formei wealth
and glory have ever stood as rear sentinels
to point the pen of the historian to a record
of cruel ami destructive deeds. The wars
of Europe, Asia and North Africa have all
fully demonstrated this fact.
The unnatural and fratricidal war which
has so lately and so thoroughly scourged
our own once happy country, is the last,
though not the least, example of the war
ring element of the North.
Wherever the Northern army has in
vaded Southern soil, pillage and plunder,
lust ami rapine, tire and sword, were alter
nately their passwords; the aged cente
narian and the blushiug maiden were in
sulttd; houses were robbed and stores
were burned; stock was stolen or killed,
aud hen-roosts disappeared. And this,
100 was done by au enemy reared in the
midst of not only civilization, but of
Wsted enlightenment.
I would not dwell upon these sad occur
ences, and sceues of unwarranted aud
nnnatural conduct; they are feelingly fresh
‘n the hearts of the sons and daughters of
( hesunny South.
Hut since the Southern banner has been
m&de to trail in the dust, the Northern
*word has not been beaten into a plow-
nor has the bayonet been turned
into a pruning knife, but rather are they
l,r ight and hri-tiing in our midst, and the
Victors adding insult to injury.
Ihe South has graciously surrendered
uer darling principles, thrown away her
Peculiar institutions,” and accepted in
Rood faith all other requirements of the
'onqjeror. But how other has that con
queror acted, thau as a doiniueeriug mas-
! er ’ holding a scourge of scorpions to pun*
*-h his subjects? What was the conduct of
16 Southern army when invading North
ern soil?
My Northern brethren may well ponder
on these facts, for facts they are, and pos
cuiy will read their history with an im
partial eye—the South with silent indig
nation—the North with blushing shame.
h'ght has ever emanated from the East
of the gardeu, which first felt the impress
uefoot of God, and where His handi
work was first seen, in the bower made by
Him, for the comfort of oar first parents,
and cast with force its genial rays towards
the West. In this direction has discovery
andC' nqutstextended. I.ettersand science
have followed iu their wake, aud but little
of the influences of these has ever been
felt, to the F:ast of the spot that gave our
first pareuts birth ; hut their influence has
bad a slow Bout born tendency, even cross
ing the Equator, seeming to pause in mid
air, and hover in the sultry, humid air of
the Torrid Zone; but the latitude and tem
perature of their origin has as yet mainly
fixed the bouuds of the day-springs of
human life.
Do icebergs produce congenial spirits?
I« their presence calculated to develop the
mind of man, and make him a fit subject
to enjoy the beauties of Nature? Do they
bring forth flowers, with which to deck
themselves iu gay attire, and make them
selves lovely and attractive? Do they
clothe themselves in verdure to make
themselves useful to the lords of creation?
Rather is not their presence repulsive, and
their embrace contaminating ?
Flowers present themselves in loveliness,
admired by all who behold them. The
green earth preseuts numerous themes
for instructive meditation; the mind of
man being tenacious and expansive, lays
hold of the beauteous nature for examina
tion, and being fanned by tbe breath of
Heaven, mounts above the common level,
aud holds converse with God, from
whence all blessings spring, and from
whom all light and knowledge flow.
Cool Spring, Ga. C.
WIMPEY vi. CHRISTY.
From the proceedings of the House of
Representatives on Thursday last, we ex
tract as follows with reference to the con
tested election ease of Wimpey (scalawag)
vs. Christy (Democrat), from the Athens
district. It would appear that the Beast
has decorated Mr. C. with the laurels of
his special disapprobation, upon which
fact we beg to congratulate him :
GEORGIA CONTESTED ELECTION CASE.
Mr. Dawes,of Massachusetts, Chairman
of tbe Cominiitee on Elections, called up
the Georgia contested election case from
the Sixth Congressional district of Geor
gia.
The resolutions reported from the Com
mittee on Elections, setting forth that J.
H. Christy is unit entitled to represent the
Wixth Congressional district of Georgia on
account of disloyalty, and that John A.
Wimp y is not entitled to a seat from the
same district on account of not having re
ceived a majority of votes, were th?n
read.
Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, moved
that the gentlemen claiming the seats be
allowed to address the House under the
rules of the House. Agreed to.
Mr. Paine, of Wisconsin, asked if it
would not bo well, in view of the resolu
tion adopted this morning relative to
Georgia’s represen tati ves here, to postpone
the whole matter for the preseut, or else
to refer it to the Committee on Reconstruc
tion. He was ready to otter a resolution
for that purpose.
Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, said he
would yield the floor for that purpose, in
order to get an expression of opinion from
tiie House on the subject.
Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, said he
was ready to argue tiie proposition that
Mr. Wimpey was entitled to ills seat. As
for Mr. Christy, lie did not believe he rep
resented anybody or anything. He was
satisfied, and lie knew Mr. Wimpey would
be satisfied to have tiie matter go to the
Reconstruction Committee.
Mr. Brooks, of New York, said Mr.
Wimpey was every w here u id pretended
to represent everybody.
Mr. Mullen, of Tennessee, said Georgia
was standing vvitli one foot on thegraveof
rebellion and tiie other on tiie rock of loy
alty. He proposed to keep her there till
she gave evidence of better repentance.
Mr. Paine, of Wisconsin, said witli the
leave of tiie Chairman of the Committee
on Elections he would move to postpone
the consideration of this subject until tbe
third Tuesday iu February utter tiie morn
ing hour.
Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, said he
would accept of that motion for the pur
pose of testing tiie sense of the House.
Mr. Shellabarger, of Ohio, favored tiie
postponement. He thought under the
present condition of affairs it was proper
for the House to pursue this course
The motion to postpone was agreed to.
REMARKABLE CASE OF SUSPENDED ANI
MATION.
TlieNashvide Banner, ofSaturday, gives
the particulars of a most remarkable case
of suspendtd animation, occurring iu the
vicinity of Burlington, Wisconsin. A girl
twelve years of age had a severe case of
measles aud diptheria, early in January,
but had nearly recovered. On the Bth of
January she called her father to the bed
side, and told him she was going to sleep;
that she should sleep for a long time ; said
she would look as though dead, but would
not be dead, and made her father promise
that he would not bury her, which prom
ise had been faithfully kept. Soon after
making the request, the child, to all ap
ptarance, sank quietly aud peacefully into
her last sleep By all she was supposed
to be dead, and the body was enshrouded
ami placed in a cofll n, but was not buried.
1 n this state she has lain for twenty-one
days, with no sign of life, and yet is not
buried Numerous physicians of Milwau
kee aud others visited her, and pronounce 4
it a very remarkable case, aud the resuit
is eagerly looked for.
A Woodkn Railroad.— The Washing
ton Gazette says there is a project on foot
for the construction of a woodeu railroad
from Augusta, by way of Appling aud
Liuoolnton, to Elb3 r ton, and the citizens
of the three counties concerned are to hold
public meetings respectively, ou the first
Tuesday iu February, to consider and act
upon the matter. This enterprise was first
suggested some years ago by Dr. Henry R.
Casey, of Columbia, and to him will be
due a large share of credit, if itshou'd ever
come to completion. Such constructions
have been successfully made and operated
iu several localities iu America, withiu a
few years past, and it is estimated the
cost will be from $12,000 to $15,000 per
mile. There can be no question of the
practicability of the thing, if the people
concerned will take hold of it with a will.
It will place three strong counties iu di
rect and easy communication with Augus
ta, the eoM.merciai centre, and will draw,
beside, a quantity of buaiuess from the
tipper counties.
No Go —According to a Washington
special of the 2Sth to the New York
Herald, Mrs. Lincoln is not likely to get
that peusiou she recently asked for.
The Beuate Committee ou Pensions took
the matter up and finally concluded that
they had no power to act upon the sugges
tion of Senator Sumner of granting Mrs.
Lincoln a stipend of $5,000, aud that the
limit of their liberality iscoufined to the
sum usual iu such cases of thirty dollars
a mouth, and no more. In instances
where a higher peusion has been given the
Committee on Military Affairs have had
the disposition of it. A report will be
made by the committee to the Senate set
ting forth their inability to render any
greater pecuniary relief than the law al
lows to the widow of the ‘‘late lamented.”
♦ ♦ ♦
—The impres&iuu is general iu political
circles that ihe House of Representatives
will arrogate to itself the right to declare
the members of Congress, from Georgia,
ineligible to their seats, as the Seuate has
done with the Senators elect, and that
Georgia will be remanded back into its
former anomalous condition, being neith
er Territory nor State. The pretext is the
expulsion of the negroes from the Legis
lature ; but the real reason is that
the vote of the Georgia Legislature will
be necessary to ratify Boulwell’s amend-
I meat to the Constitution, or some other
■of kindred character.— Washington Special
1 to Louisville Courier-Journal.
HOW THEN VOTED.
The Constitution, of Monday, in response
to a request by a correspondent, to publish
the yeas and nays on the'question of in
definitely postponing a motion to reduce
the pay of members of the Legislature,
gives them as follows. We do not know
how much it costs to live in Atlanta, but
we do know that in the present, straitened
condition of the people’s finances, a great
majority of them, as we are informed, are
very certain that $9 per day is too much to
pay for legislation. We despise that kiud
of demagogueism which slops over so
often and so disgustingly in clamors for a
false economy as much as anybody, but
we cannot refrain from expressing the
decided opinion that the geutlemen who
voted on the question missed a capital
opportunity of demonstrating their will
ingness to secure a very wise and impera
tive measure of retrenchment. We hope
they may not have reason hereafter, to
regret it when asking the people for
further favors:

Tobacco. —There has been an advance of 20c. a
pound on all grades within the last four weeks—
still there is an upward tendency. Letters from
North Carolina aud Virginia, of recent date, state
that there was not more than a third of a crop
of Leaf Tobacco made last year in those States.
AU grades of Tobacco are more scarce than at any
previous time since the close of the war.
The stock on hand not being sufficient to meet
the demand, it will be May before the factories
will commence marking—they being able to mark

DO NOT TRIFLE WITH DANGER.
A single spark may kindle a flame that will
consume a city, and small ailments neglected
may end in fatal disorders. Bearing this fact in
mind, let the first symptoms ol debility or nerv
ous prostration be met promptly with invigorat
ing treatment. Foremost among the vegetable
tonics of the age stands HOSTKTTFR’S STOM
ACH BITTERS, and whenever the vital powers
seem to languish, or there Is any reason to sus
pect that the animal functions essential to the
sustenaliou and purification of the body are im
perfectly performed, this invaluable iuvigorant
and antiseptic should at once be resorted to. In
digestion always produces weakness. Sometimes
it happens—and this is more frequently the ca-e
in winter than at any other season—that the ap
petite demands more food than the stomach can
digest; though not more, perhaps, than Is re
quired to keep up the full strength of the frame.
The object, under such circumstances, is to in
crease the digestive capacity ot the assimilating
organ, 30 as to make it equal to the duty imposed
upon it by the appetite, and capable of supplying
the building material of thesyslem as fast as it Is
required. This object is fully accomplished by
the use of the Bitters. They tone and gently
stimulate the cellular membrane which secretes
th-gastric Juice, and the result is that the sol
vent is mingled witli the food in sufficient quan
tity to convert all its nourishing particles into
pure and wholesome element. If, on the other
hand, there is a deficiency of appetite, without
any corresponding deficiency of digestive power,
the effect of the tonic is to stimulate a desire f r
food. In nineteen cases out of twenty, headache,
nausa, nervousness, fainting fits, spasms, and,
indeed, most of the casual aches and pains to
which humanity Is subject, proceed primarily
trom indigestion complicated with biliousness ;
an i for both these complaints HOSTETTKR’S
STOMACH BITIERS are recommended as a
speedy and certain remedy.
