ST. JOHN’S DAY.
The Maronic fraternity hereabouts,
celebrated the above day, which was
Thursday lust, with n speech by
Robert 11. Harris K.-q, a public instal
lation ol officers, and a grand supper at
the Court house, where n largo con
course of citizens, both small and great
assembled to witness the ceremonies
and partake ofthe supper.
The speech of Mr. Harris, was chaste
elegant and well adapted to the ueen.
sion. Ho acquitcd himself with
much credit, and his speech would
have done credit to one much older in
txperienc) and knowledge of the Fra*
ternity.
The officers elect for the year 1867
were installed by Hon. A. 11. (lansell,
act in Master, with great dignity and
solemnity. After these ceremonies nil

where the Committee appointed by
the Lodge, ably assisted by many ex
ccllent ladies, hud prepared a repast fit
for King’s and Princess Steeples
of Cake, Fruit and other luxuries

and beautiful.
We were standing in the midst of
this enchanting scenery (not eating)
but admiring the elegant taste display

’THE NEW YEAR-
The old year has passed with all its
trials and tribulations, and the new
conies in to begin where the other left
off. Let .it not gather up in its on
ward sweep tho licart burnings and
evil forebodings of the discordant old
year, nor bear along with the smiles ol
a brightening future, the bitter remem
brance ot an unsuccessful past. Let j
these be buried in oblivion, and let us,
dear reader, “ court dame Fortune’s
gay career and try our luck again.”
Let there be no quaking fears nor
dark despair, because of the threats or
triumphs of the wicked, tor they can
neither destroy the righteous nor long
enjoy the land —but rather let us re
joice that, we have been found worthy
to he persecuted and to suffer for the
truth’s sake. If our expectations were
disap pointed in the old year, cud we
find ourselves a few dollars poorer to
day than we expected, what ol it? 1
God, in His infinite>ercy and good
ness, has not only fed and clothed, but
still ..opens to us a golden future, and
all Nature bids us, now in this beauti
ful new year, to stretch forth our hands
and grasp the blessings prepared for
the worthy. “Tho Sluggard will not
plow by reason of the cold,” and, of
course, lie cannot expect to reap ’1 he
...... uiill pome, and go, and refresh
ing showers will moisten tne carte,
but if tl.c husbandman sow not the
seed, there will be no groin. For
our losses in the old year the new may
repay us fourfold—who knows? Dili
gence and industry are all that is
needed. Let us be up and doing then,
for “ lie that doubts is d—d,” and tho
slothful will ever be behind time. —
What it the Badicals do threaten to
confiscate i ur property and reduce the
Southern States to tl.e condition of
territories? Does any sensible man
believe they can do it ? If so, lie does
not understand the nature of this
country, nor the character peo
pie. And suppose the Badicals could
and would, do all t hoy threaten against
the South, is that any renßot) why wc
should cease to labor for the improve
ment of our homes and our country ?
\Vo would rather have something to
confiscate than nothing, A contempt
ible foe, indeed, who lias nothing of
which to he despoiled. But there is
no such danger hanging over the
South, for tho Badicals are themselves
<oo fond of gold to cutoff the source
from whence it flows into their coffcfs,
and when they find the South is not
to be frightened into the commission
of suicide, the pillars of their beloved
temple will begin to rock to their foun
dation. Already the columns of North
ern papers teem with evidences of a
growing discoid in their ranks. Let
the South he quiet, industrious, obe
dient to the laws, hut firm in her ho
nor and integrity, and all will yet ho
well.

FREEDMEN AND WAGES.
The Freed men in this section mani
fest a decided disposition to demand
higher wages for the new year, than
they realized for the old, and dis
heartened and annoyed farmers are be
coming careless about hiring, and in
clined to curtail their operation and
rely upon themselves for the future
Last Monday our streets wore throng
ed with Freed people, who came to
find employers, and everywhere groups
were to he seen in earnest conversut on
with farmers, seeking laborers, but
lowing to the fact slated, few, we learn
I succeeded in supplying their farms
with hands. Freedmcn do not under
stand, and of course, cannot appreciate
turn s m»r circumstances. They do not
see, nor will they recognize any cala
mity to the white man, whether from
the seasons, or the political changes of
the Country. If the white man lias a
house to live in and a field with a
fence around it, lie is able to pay any
wages, Sambo, in his discretion, may
- choose to ask. They hat e spent * !hnat
rons, and with it iheir money, in fun,
frolic and all kinds of extravagances,
ami though great numbers of thorn are
still loafing about loth to hire out, yet
Sambo will very shortly be obliged to
go to work again or suffer for bread.

MAMMOTH TURNIP.
Maj. J.J. Mash of Duncanville in this
County brought to our sanctum a few
da',s ago the largest Turnip we have
ever seen. It was of the White Globe
species measuring Thirty inches in
circumference and weighed Seventeen
and a half pounds. This turnip was
only a sample from a large patch raised
by Maj. Mlsh, and his explanation ol
their Mannjiotli size, is, that he has not
been troubled with Freed men, but cult -
vated then! himself. Muy other far

from this example, and devote more of
their own xteKion to the cultivation of

Thud. Stovons Rebuked.
Ever since the adjournment of Con
gicss last summer, Stevens has beei
laboriously engaged in maturing meas
ures to bn passed by tire present Con
gross, in order to check mid humtliati
tho President. One of his favorite
measures onme up in the House las
week, and recieVcd a considerable ven
tilution. His proposition was that any
man nominated by the President am
rejected by the Senate, should be dis
qualified thereby from holding any < f
hoe for one year. In his eagerness ti
degrade the President he failed to per
oeivo that lie was realty putting the
power in tho President’s hands of dis
qualifying Stevens and all his friend
from holding office for a year.
Hale, of New York, (Hop.) m exi
posing these hideous measures, said
“that it put in the President’s bunds
the power to put n brand on any man,
and even to disqualify Mr Steven?
himself for any office in the United
States, by nominating him for Com
inander-in-Chicf of the Army, or for
Chaplain in the navy, ns the Senate
would be v»ry likely to reject him ”
That such a proposition should ever
have been made, and more particular
ly by so astute and observant a man as
Stovons, is wonderful, unless we ac
count for it in accordance with the
logic of the old saw —“whom the gods
would destroy they first make mad.”

-•In Cminous Prediction. —The late
Lord Macaulay, in Mu., 1857, wrote
a letter to 11. L Randall, of New York,
author ofthe life of Jefferson, in which
he expresses his earnest convictions in
relation to the future of the United
States. He said :
It is quite plain that your govern
ment will never be able to restrain a
distressed and discontented majority. 1
For with you the majority is the gov- i
eminent, and has the rich, who are al
ways a minority absolutely ut its lncr
ey.
* * l| ' I seriously ap
prehend that you will, in sum such
season as I have described, do things
which will prevent prosperity from re.
turning, that you will act like a peo
ple who should in a year of scarcity
devour all the seed corn, and thus make
the next year a year not of scarcity,
but of absolute famine. There will be,
l fear, spoliation. The spoliation will
increase the distress. The distress
will pioduce fresh spoliation. There
is notliiug to stop you. Your Consti
tution is all sail and no anchor. As I
said before, when a society has entered
on this downward progress, either civ
ilization or liberty must perish. Ei
ther some Caesar or Napolean will seize
the reins of government with a strong
hand, or your republic will be as fear
fully plundered and laid waste by bar
barians in the twentieth century as the
Roman Empire was in the fifth, with
this difference. That the. Huns and
Vandals, who ravaged the Roman Em
pire, came from without, and that your
Huns and Vandals will have bien en
gendered within ytur own country by
your own institutions.
