I and meanness that is perpetrated in the world, is done in the name, and Under the guise, of charity, patriotism and religion. Wo propose to give this week a few specimens of the way in which the widow and her orphans ate often oppressed, cheated and swin dled under the guise of charity. We will suppose a scene. Suppose a num ber*of ladies assembled together, from the country and some from the city.— Suppose the conversation should turn upon new dresses, sewing, &c. Most of the ladies will probably say, they intend to put out all of their sewing. Not but that they and their daughters might do part of their sewing, but when there are so many pocr women wanting the work, they think it would be wicked in them to do it themselves Perhaps one out of the number will conless that owing to the altered con dition of the country, she thinks it her duty to do her own sewing, and if she has anything to give, will give it without condition. 11c have taken some pairs to learn the result of this round-about charity. Perhaps one lady out of ten will do just what she pro fesses. She will put out her sewing giay her needle women a fair price for her work, arid pay her punctually when the work is done. This is ail right and proper, but it is not charily, it is sheer justice. The needle woman is as much entitled to pay for her work as the merchant is for his goods, or the farmer lor his produce. Put there are very lew of these ladies who put out all their work for the sake of be ing charitable, that do as well as the above. Some of them Jew down the sewing woman to the lowest cent at wh ch she can live, aid then will not' pay her for months, and perhaps never. Others who pretend to be the pnrticui lar friends and patronesses of the needle woman, will not even ask her •the price of work, but wfen she has done what would have cost the lady patroness many dollars at some other shop, this kind of friend and patroness will condescend to give her u sm 11 piece of meat, or a few pounds of black and wormy flour, or a bushel of pota toes, and tills they call charity, when if the articles had been sold in market the money they would have brought, would not have paid for otic-fourth ol .the work received for them, Put this was from her special friend and patro ness, and the poor needle woman dare not complain. U’ehave several anecdotes laid away which will illustrate our position, which we intend to use hereafter.— We will mention only on ol a t present Two ladies VritO were the paititular friends and patronesses of a sewing ‘woman, had got her assistance in cut ting, and hasting, and fitting several dresses, which cost lier much time and trouble, and would have cost the ladies several dollars, but as they were her particular fri nds aml patronesses, thev did not a-k !nt price, but. vorv gra ciously sent her a mad,nil, but this they did in the name oi charity. Thu Pibie says the cloak ol chirity covers n multitude of sins, and verify we ho lieve it. Much of the oheating and meanness that is perpetrated in highly civil.zed countries, is done under the name of charity. Gentle reader if wo were to tell you all of the swindling and meanness that is done in thobame <rf charity, “it would freeze your your g blood, and mako your combined lucks "to part, and each particular hair to Stand on end like quills upon the fret ful Porcupine,’’ but we forbear for the present. We intend herealter to ven tilate s< me particular -cases of charity, that will cause some some people’s ears and cheeks to tingle if -they have not lost the power to hear and feel.—Fed eral Union. — Prom Washihgton. ■Washington, Jan. 10 -Senate. - Mr, Sumner presented a petition of the loyal citizens of Arkansas for the overthrow of the present State Uov.j eminent, and its reorganisation by’ , v.’ont’ress; also asking Congress to de-ij ,-61arro tiiat the rntilieation by twenty six-tflUtes is sufficient for a Constitui - tioH-ul amendment, deferred to the •.Committee on Reconstruction. •The subject of Territorializing tho -' Southern States wub informally dis cussed in the Cabinet yesterday.

For some time we have been think ing on tlie subject of the poor, and no ticing with deep concern the great in crease of tills t-h-ss of per-oi s, since the vast destruction ol property during the vvat, we very naturally feel anxious, for the good of society as well ns in sympathy with the unfortunate, that some plan of amelioration that could be made universal, should be adopted If mini : W. M. HAMMOND, J Oft I 111 A TAYLOR, ('. I*. HANSELL. by the Counties of the States. At present tin; lnfol'irt&ifourts are loft to look after the po'or, and all they can do, at least in Georgia, is to levy and ooUoet a tax otWio'MOplc, which they" pay‘Out to' claimants' wit!) very liftin' iconlidcrakpn as 10 mcritt for the want' ‘of time and ' investigate uheir claipifc. Many, Indeed, moif .and” those per&is who receive thjA bounty tiro übtefo Tahor , and would do s > cheerfully, if properly directed and kindly treaded, wliile such a course, would, in all greatly re duce the County tax for,the poor. In. carrying out this object, we are of opi-'- nior> that the location of a farm and work house for each County, would be the most efficient means of remedying the jrcvailing evil and calling the at tention of the Inferior Court of Thomas County to this subject wo lay before them the following excellent article from the Millcdgeville Federal Union: A County Poor House is an im- perative necessity. With a change in our domestic in stitutions conies tlic necessity of a change in our pauper system. Indeecd we have no system for taking care of the poor. So far this very important duty has been left to the voluntary contributions ot benevolent individ uals. But this is very precarious and uncertain. The duty of providing for the pdor that are among 11s, is an obli gation which God himself has placed upon our shoulders, and one which we cannot avoid without sin. There are distressed objects among us, who have become so loathsome and dis gusting by ctime and disease that, the most benevolent are deterred from coining in contact with them, and yet. these should not be left to perish by the way side. A Bounty Farm and Poor House is provided in many of the Middle and Western States, where all who Cannot take Cure of themselves are Sent and provided for. This Farm and Poor House is put under the charge of some energetic and res. ponSible man who is well paid, and gives his while time to taking care of the county poor He will generally be able to make those who arc able to work, assist in taking care of those who are not, and the balance of the expense of the establishment is paid tutof a tax on the county. In this way the burden of the poor is borne by the whole county, and not as now. by a few benev-lent individ uals, whilst a largo portion ofllic prop erty holders do nothing. With a County Poor House none of the pan. purs need over suffer, nor need the be nevolent he annoyed or imposed upon. Without one, ‘both of these cm tingen cies wid happen daily. Wc have thrown out these observations that those who have the management ol our County Finances may think of them Surely some better plan may be devis ed than that wc are now living under. If tliero is' any worse one, wc have never licatd if it.

AYe aro all of us members of some little brother hood in which our example may be felt ant our influence exerted for weal or lor woo. But many of us are mein, hers of a special brotherhood. The great and ciowi ing office of the Sa. viour of the world was that of yield ug up his life for sinners; yet there was another important work connected with t.!.c plan ol redemption, undone which perhaps exhibits as strong love for fallen man is did even tlie scene on Calvary. The work was that of pre senting to tho world a living ’example of the holy, happy, purifying eff ets which his doctrines would have upon (lit hearts of those who carried out these sublime principles, in every cir cumstance of life. It, might not have required n greater miracle than attend ed tiis incarnation, f r the Saviour to have entered upon his earthly oure-r in the lull matunty of n anltood, and then, having announced tiis purpo-es immediately yielded up his life on the Cross. But ill that case, mankind could never have Ifni any just concept tion. cither of his character or that of Ins doctrines, llis lile of .‘>3 years, in which he passed tlituugh u any and sore trials, stiffen gs, and temptations, taught the world that, they could not leurii in no other way. He has insti* tilled the Church, iu uhi. h was exhib. ited tt living exemplification of his di. vine precepts, '1 his little Ibid, his infant ■ hureh, was tho-obj- ct ot bis peculiar cure. On them much was do. pendant '1 hey were to ho “ the l ght of tho world.” In gathering this (’hutch he had still another object— their own mutu-1 improvement and happiness. These two nbj-ets, first, that t’-cy might he the light of the wot Id, and M-coodle, that they might incr. ose each filler’s happiness, are tlie objects for which every Christian Church should be constituted, even at the present day. Nctirly twenty cen turies have gone by since tho orgatti. cation of the* fiist Church of Christ, and the dottrines of the Crosa have been pjocj. linked, jo every zone of the globe, yet Church relationship still re mains of the utmo.-t importance to the conversion ol' sinners, and the progress and happiness of the disciples of Christ everywhere, I will slop to *(pj who arc -the disciple#” of p>r which is the CltUgchbf (*nr:st, It'is sufficient for ine to say that lam de "ctdedly Armenian tri faith, a*nd there, tore regard all as disciples of Christ who “I'.MI- Kiln and keep liis command ments.’’ But is it so that the relationship ol the Church bears such fearful respon .sibi'it-es ? There can be no conneci tion, no relationship this side of the eternal world, involving suen awful responsibilities, as Church Member hip. Kvcry member has pledged himself in the lace of earth and hea ven, to be true to Christ and to eueli other. Did they fully live up to these professions, every ( liurch would give a foreta-te of heaven. It is deeply to be lamented that some Churches ex hibit but a small share of that peace and joy that passeth understanding. Jealousy, distrust, n-fllice, and all un cljuritableriess, sometimes find their way into the fold of Chti.-t. Butt! e great cror that lias proved so desola ting is tiiat of inginceiity. The max ims of the unregencrate man have but little to do with sincerity. Much of the business of the worldly, and even the intercourse of what is termed “fashionable society'’ is founded in deceit. 'Professors of relgion, who imbibe thi same maxims ami relax their watchfulness, are sure to run into vic“. 'The ball room and oilier places of fashionable amt seuients, which ma ny Church members Link it no harm to attend and participate in, will have its effect- on ti e human I cart. * But to return to our point ol discus sion Nothing cm be more destruc tive to a Church than insincerity. Let u 11 ember who sees something that he disapproves in the conduct of a brother go and whisper it abroad, y::t say noth ing but smiling words to him ; let him habitually say ot bis brethren behind their l icks, tlie v?ry opposite of what his language and manner be I ore Ins face implies, and the fruit of his do ings will soon have a visible effect on the prosperity of the Church With the world such things are of diily oc cur renec and receive no censure; hut they can not' bed dene by. a Christian without grievous injury, if Hint to h s brctl r.-n, at h ast to hit} own soul. Kv cry word and action of our li e should be stamped with the imperishable im press of truth. p It is extremely common among the fashionable vulgar to practice decep tion even to treachery. A man home ly dr ssed, or one who is poor, or perhaps lias a delect in person, or man ner, happens to be in their company with those whom they wish to flatter, they will often, by u wink, or a nod, or a covert 'smile,'make such in-ivid. ual the obje ct of their ridicule and treachery. These' things may pass un rebuked in those who live without God in tltv woild, bul In one who professes to tread’in the footsteps of the Re deemer, it is a crime of so dark a st-.in that nothing l-“t, the tears ol heartfelt t-enitencfh mni contrition can ever wash out Sincerity of moti n, aid action should be the nn-tto of all who profyss to be the followers pi Him who was sincere, and without rebuke. The sons and daughters of folly will pursue tLui*’ fated course, unmoved by alt the Claims if ivGospe l 1 of the bl-sed Re deeOicr, but the vo'anes ol the cross should “ cease to do evil and learn to do well.’' Why will not 1 lie gay, the thoughtless, tlie dissipated remember that, gaiety, thoughtless, and dissipa tion. must have an end, and that end must be lull id bitterness and woo.— Why will not tlie sad experience of that sick and worn-out devotee ol pleasu e, reach and tm-ve the hearts of the young, and lead them to choose in euily life tlie way of pleasunln ss and peace. It is this choice alone that will save them from realizing in their lute hours, the hopeless anguish ol despair. TIMOTHY. Tho Bth of January in AWashing ton. AVasiiington, Jan. 8. — The nnni. vcrsaiy ot the battle of New O.Teaos, was celebratid t.>-r ight by a banquet at the National Hotel, under tlie aus pices of tlie National Democratic Resi dent Committee.

The President, on rising, was again applauded, lie said i it was not liis purpose t» make an ud ’ dress on this 'occasion, but only to pro pose tt sentiment, which was as fob I lows : THE TOAST. “No State of it' own wiji has a right i under the constitution to K-nouneo its ! place in, or to withdraw from the Union nor has the Congress of the United States a emtsti'utiooai power to degrado tlie people <itf any State by reducing them to the condition of a mere territorial dependency upon the Federal head. The one is disruption and dissolution of the Government the ; other is a consolidation and exeictsc of despotic power. The advocates of ei ther ora alike the PHenlu.

Price is now on bis way to St Louis, where he will be greeted by hosts of old friends, and warmly A recent spell of illness l.as much reduced his weight; yet h s eye is clear and his complexion as bright as of old, anil there is a deal of work yet left in Gen. .'torl ing Price.” We also leurii from the Picayune, that the noble old veteran has boon presented with a largo and valuable tract of land in Texas, by the mer chants of New O leans, and has also been tendered an important commer cial agency in Europe. It is reported that Gen. Sheridan informed Gen.

New York, Jan. 9 —The Tiroes has the following, Washington special relative to the District Suffrage Bill : Gen Gran:, was present at the i abinct meeting b.y request. Grant took no purt in the discussion. At last the President asked his views. Grant re plied very briefly that the objection which had been urged by one member of the Cabinet—that it was unconsti tutional because it digfranch’sed rebels without trial—was, in his estimation the best part of the bill, and exhibi ted most wisdom. As tor conferring suffrage on the blacks in the District, he was opposed till the members con sented to do it in the States at home. Upoi. the arguments and principles involved in the message, he uttered no opinion whatever. Hon.
