The almndunment of the oHjectiona'-lo policy of

exercise uf fiocstiouotdn and doubtful power* by
llm National Government, has been followed by a
state of quiet and hirmuny lathe Southern section
of tin* Union, which is without a precedent in the
history of (he Republic.
The spirit of fanaticism too, which, for a time,
wore an alarming aspect, and seemed tu threaten
danger lo tli« confadurncy itself, ha* been met ami
aitbdui-d by tho sober reflections of tlw people,
clearly demon*!rating bow auf.-ly "error nfopini.ui

Flscul tln-rrrr! still beer thy sway,
Umliirim’d through age* yet untold ;
O’er earth's pmud realms Uty stars display,
Like morning's radiant eloudt unrolled.
Flag of the skies! still peerless shine,
Through ether's azure vault unfilled,
Till every hand and heart entwine,
To sweep oppression from the world.

THE SABBATH.
Wo rejoice tlmt a subject so Interesting to Print
ers Inn morning office, ns that of dispensing with
labor en the Sabbath, I* eghntrd In- our columns.
Wo have long observed the peculiar hardship upon
^riiis useful class of our community, to bo compelled
on each sticressive Sabbath to repair to the Print-
ing case, ins tend of to tho llousn ofGod, nnd would
long since Imvo changed tlio day of publication from
Monday to Sunday so as to put our hands on tlie
same footing with nthertradesmen, wlio.onSundnys,
liavo un opportunity of withdrawing their minds
front the care* of the week, and fixing them, if ihoy
desire; on higher subjects.
Our plan would ho to duto our paper (hitherto
Issued on Mondays) on Saturday hlglit, or Sunday
m rning. It could ho dolivon'd early on Sunduy
mornings, (except to those who would prefer to re
ceive it on Monday mornings.) Tlio same objec
tion that exists to a Sunday paper In the largo cities of
the North would not he valid here, for ibey would
not l»e hawked about here for sbIc, hut merely dc-
livo&l nt tho houses nf subscribers, who, as free
agents, could rend, them, or nut, on Sundays, ns
they pleased. Tho useful merhnniu would thus
have new sources of rational enjoyment opened to
him, which nron-iw debarred him, nnd nn Mondays,
would return with fresh vigor t'Ahis weekly task.
Thore is s 'mi'thing, too, duo to the Printer, whoso
daily htbois nro. generally, as constant and fatiguing
ns those of any class of our citizens.
By this innovation, if approved, the In elligenco
hy Su day’s mails would Imvo to liu over, one day.
instead of thru hy S ittmlay's, as it now is, nnd fjfa*
would feel the gratification of discharging a duty
ho owes to tho law, whether Divine or Human.
Wo but follow tho example of a into of our^on
temporaries iu .1 siring such n change, and our dis.
position has long since been to lend, but we were do.*
terr. .1 hy the reflection that business men would
famsidcr the existing arrangement n* n necessary
evil. Our siiimiiiiii from necessity, and nut our will*
lias, so far, c.-iucntcd to it.

A PALPABLE HIT.
We find I'ler.ill-.wiiig in nn exchange paper. It
is tmigu"d tithe lust: —
Theincnnsist.-ncyof some men. i* apparent lo nny
hut th-m-rive*. Same years since a very worthy
mercli <nt aent a subscription p-ip-r to a sentl.-man,
request mg him to give an hundred dullnix ip uid in
supp-iriing n Temperanre mis-ianary in thi* city—
the^-iitfanini told the lid who hr .light him the
paper, that if the merchant would call, liu would
give hint something of more vain* than the hun
dred dollars, snli-*tied. The merchant promptly
opimnred—the gentleman remarked to him, "I can
give you n-» money, hu. I ran give you advice wh’ch
will lie better than money." "I find," said 'h- gen-
rieuiau to the merchant, "«n a careful examination,
that yen import and soli morn than fan thousand
bogheads of rum each year—my advice to y..u is,
ut begin rtformation at home. It will bo better
than preaching abstinence to your neighbors."
On Thursday evening fast we visited ri,e Theatre
fur tlte fiist time, and were pleased to sou a highly
rospt-rtahlu nndienru awaiting the rlsn of that cur-
tniu which screened from our view thu inner tom-
plein whirl! dear Tiiama plays her gambols, as
womankind e’er should and will do, ns her own
sweetheart listeth.
No distaste to Thcniricnl* has hitherto pivveuioJ

over which we ur no mortal can have controul.hovo
kept tt* from witnessing the intmoniip reform tlint
lias taken place in tho profession of the *• Sock trad ^

Tlio company af present playing in Savnnimli.aru
not afano rcsp.*ctnhle. hut really the best Stock Coin,
pony wo ever hod thu pleasure of being acquitted
with. Mr, F-.rbxs is n gentleman of the highest
ch'irocter in his profession—of amiable deportment,
and uno whn<e randhig in all his parts is unexcep
tionable. His knowledge of theatricals is exempli'
Tied by the ehnsteness of his acting. His conduct n-v
a manager is host shown by the hearty welcome
with which he is received in every place which be I
has before visited.
Having said so much of the mannger.letnssprak
of the company. Tho Indip*, ns a natural conse
quence have thu sway. Mrs. Barrkr, in the "Love
Chase," can scarcely l»o excrll.'d in the part o
"Neighbour Constance,"—Mrs. Hikers, as th*
fa'rtly •' M’irfow Green" was a', must inimitable.
Nor shuii'd wu forget Mrs. Cletk, who did well,ax
"Lydia." Tho otliur female performers played
