H. Be srBBi Pnslnean Monnccr, A Touching Tribute to the Negroes ofthe South. Rev. J. Howard Carpenter, pastor of the Baptist church at West Point, Ga., preached a sermon recently on the nergo problem. It shows profound thought, and breathes, throughout, a spirit of conciliation and amity, in strong contrast to many. We take an extract, which will be found below, from the sermon. The preacher, among other things, said: “But it is our duty to help the negro, because we owe him something. VVe are actually in debt to him. When we multiply our gifts a thousand fold, we will not be giving to him. He will still be our creditor by millions. His own faithful hands swept our fields ot their virgin forests, and broke the soil all webbed with roots, and sowed the seed and cultivated the plants until the wilderness bloomed like a rose and filled our barns with bread. The 'pages of history are tinged with the blood of war and darkened with the tale of treason. Our own glorious and successful revolution is marred by the story of Arnold. And no bloodier battles e’re were waged than those of brothers against brothers in the war between the states. But there is one clean page left in its history—one as white and pure as though fresh from the mill of God— and on this spotless page should be engraved by southern hands, in letters of brass, and punctuated by tears from southern hearts: • Sacred to the Memory of the : I FIDELITY, HONOR AND LOVE : • of the • : Neoro Slaves op ttie South, : • To their • i MASTER’S HOME AND FAMILY, i : 1861—1805. i with whom he has always lived, and will always have, his truest and best friend?

An editor ot an Iowa paper, being asked: "Do hogs pay?” says that a good many do not; that they take the paper for several years, and then have the postmaster send it hack, marked “refused,” “gone west,” etc. Fellow citizens, we venerate Wash ington as The “Father of our Country;” Lee as the embodiment of southern chivalry and honor; Jackson as the Bonaparte of the confederacy, and Da vis as the apex-of patriotism and mod el of statesmanship And we would like to erect enduring monuments to their virtues. But I feel that the immortal souls of these men—tor they cannot die—would be among the first; yea, the first to lay in solid rock, a granite pedestal, and build on that a marble monolith, riv aling the snow in whiteness, to perpet uate the memory of the faithfulness of the negro slave. There is no sweeter picture in mem ory’s gallery than that which portrays the deathless love of the negro slave for his roaster. Indeed, with us there is no complete picture of home life and fireside happiness without his dusky figure. Upon their own black bosoms they cradled our infant heads and soothed our childish fears with never-dying melodies. They taught our baby lips their first innocent prattle, and some of us to-day, still true to early train ing, forget our college days and use “black mammy’s” grammar. Our first tottering step was made while their poor black hands were extended invit- ingly. They guarded us in childhood, sympathizing in our sorrows and re joicing in our happiness. They added cheer to every festivity and grief to every sorrow. They stood around the couch of our dying loved ones as tear ful sentinels, and with their own hands, mads soft and tender in a service of love, they closed the eyes of our dead darlings and smoothed the hair they had lovingly kissed. And when the body wgs laid to rest in the old church yard there were many offerings ot ten der love from lairer hands and whiter lips, but when the tears, like dew dis tilled upon the new made mound,there sparkled none with purer light than those of the negro slave." These sentiments do credit to the mind and heart of the minister, and they will find a responsive echo in the hearts of thousands and tens of thous ands of Southern men and women. However loud and noisy may be the claims of northern men, that they are the best friends of the negro, history and troth will record the fact, that, here at the South, among the people Ochlockonee Dots.
