Stlfdti) Ifiisallang. ■ “AM, IS MOT LOST” We rejoice to see the spirit, display ed in the following extracts from a letter written by J. A. Turner, Esq., of Geo , formerly editor of The Coun tryman. Mr. Lamar, of Miss., has, it seems, been indulging in some discon solate oratory on ‘The Lost Cause/’. Mr. Turner replies to it as follows : “ We have long felt a disposition to rebuke the confession of our reading men, cur press and our people that State rights are gone, and that “all is lost!” . It is unmanly to make such a confession. All is not lost, if we will but be men. The idea that we sub’ mitted a l to the arbitrament of the sword, and when the voice of the sword went against tis, we lost all is a false one-. We who depend upon fighting for our rights in the .Union, and under the flag, never intended to yield our rights, because • opposed by superior physical power. Neither, numbers nor. the sword are the things upon which we depend We appeal to God and the sovreignty of the States, in the Union. “Upon this line,’’ we will ‘fight it out to the bitter end.” Figurative ly speaking; we will not stop this side of the “last ditch.” We will neither suffer our cause crushed out by the fanatical physical power of Sumner and Stevens, nor allow it to become para lyzed by the gloomy despair of Lamar & Cos. Beaten by the sword, we fall back upon our orignal, long tried, and faithful arms—reason and argument ; arms which have won us a thousand battles, and that have never failed us upon the field. “Not only must we repair the breach made by the foe, but now that they abandoned the fortress, we must occupy it again, and within its sacred walls, we can never more fail. Not only must we have the flag which has been borne away by the retireing foe men, but we must have the stars and stripes to plant upon the citadel. As Peter, the lien uiit fired the hearts of the faithful to fight and wrest the holy sepulchre from the hands ot the infidels, so must we writers of the South and the orators ot the sunny land, stir the Southern heart to contend for a Union based upon the Constitution. JVe must urest the government from the hands of the infidels. We must not be put to sleep and fold our hands to a little more slumber, and the narcotizing in fluence of Mr. Lamar’s desponding oratory And not only must we of the South rush to the delivery of the holy sepulchre, where the Constitution has been buried by unholy hands, but we must join our columns in one solid miss with those of the gallant North men who have the same object in view. Our Northern friends are leading us in the light, and we will follow them. Victory shall be ours; and we will plant the stars and stripes with our own hands in the federal city, over the trailing colors of treason dragged in the dust by Sumner and Stevens. This is the ring of the true metal. “We must wrest the government trom the hands of the Abolition infidels,” ought to be inscribed upon every ban ner. We shall degenerate sons of woithy sires, if we permit a handful of insane Abolitionists to rule our coun try forever. There has been too much of Mr. Lamar's desponding oratory at the Soutn —a kind of hugging a heart felt sorrow—a lacryuiose mourning over a “lost cause,’ as if that could avenge wrongs, repair injuries, or res tore rights. We have met some such determined mourners, that it seemed to us that they would actually regret to see the Southern States fully restor ed to their tights, for fear it would de prive them of the luxury of shedding tears ! They actually seem to take a delight in insisting that “all is 1< st,’’ and often act as if they felt offended, because others do not feel as “blue,” and a? desponding as themselves. Now, this is all wrong. There is a great deal to dampen ardor and cause mistrust of the future. But it is not manly, it is not patriotic to sit down and folding your hands in listless, idleness, insist that “all is lost.” All is norlost so long as men are true to themselves, no matter how adverse may be the preset situation of affairs. If every person opj osed to the Abolition party were imbued with the spirit of the writer of the extract we have copied, how soon we should scale the walls of Abolition treason and put it to fight. It is the activity of the Abolition trai tors and the. listless indifference of those who cry “all. is lost,” that pros trates the Demociatic party. If. we were working as earnestly and as vig orously as our opponents, we should’ soon “wrest th3 government from the • hamfs of the Abolition infidels,’’ and restore Uniou to its ancient condition. . We rejoice that there are some, at least, who see this truth distinctly and vindicate .it in bold and eloquent words.. ‘ • . .” Day Book. A Lrnnit Scheme of Colonization. . A correspondent of the New York; World who is travelling through Eu rope, writes to that journal from Balse, Switerland, giving an account of a scheme which has just been originated having for -its object the rejuvenation of the East. As detailed, the project seems to be to build up the jewish nation in Palestine. To this end an important confidential circular has been sent to all the European powers proposing that applications shall be made to the Grand Porte for land in Palestine, which shall be disposed of in such manner as shall seem most likely to secure the objects of the or ganization. The correspondent reports that the plan has already made much headway, and the International Society of the Oiient has been organized to carry out the scheme in all its details. Louis Napoleon, the llothchilds, Sir Moses Montebiore, are already num bered among the patrons of the Socie ty. The influence of the organization is reported to be rapidly extending, and it is expected that all the gr at European powers will soon lend their hearty co-operation to the enterprise.. It is even stated that the scope of the Society will be extended to the Ur ited States, and that the Jews will soon be urged to return to the land of their fathers. • The argument which appeals, most forcibly to the continental powers in aid of the project is that by this means the equilibrium of Europe will be more perfectly secured, and the Eastern question which has been looming up threateningly belore the eyes of all Europe, will be settled once for all. Interesting prophesies bearing On the return of the Jews to the Holy Land are quoted from the nurmerous texts which are given. We quote the following : • Nor thy waste and desolate places shall even now be too narrow by rea son of the inhabitants; and they that swallowed shall be far away. And the sons of strangers shall build. up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee ; for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favor I have had mercy on thee. Whereas, thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee; I will make thee an eternal excellency —-a joy of many generations. And it shall come to pass that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem, shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts. In that day I will make the Gov ernors of Judah like an hearth of fire among wood, and like a torch of file in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about on the right and on the left; snd Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her old place, even in Jerusalem. “C. O. D.” An Irish shopkeeper, having order ed a quantity of haddock fish, by the exj ress, was somewhat indignant upon the delivery of the fish, to find on the package the letters .0, O. D.\ “An’ sure man,” said Pat, “I didn’t order codfish f” . . The expressman examined the fish and pronounced them haddocks.. “ Well,” said Pat, “c-o-d spells cod.” “An’,” said Pat, triumphantly poin ting to the fish, “them's fish ?” . “Yes—you are right there.” ■‘‘Well, that makes cod fish, don’t it, ye spalpeen ?” ‘•But where do you get the *eod’ from?” returns the expressman.’ “Look there !” says Pat, pointing to the pretensions C. 0, D., “ that's cod to be sure 1” “0 ho,” replied the expressman, “that’s C. 0. I)., whiGh means, on Delivery.’ ” “Ah, bedad, sir, I didn’t think of that,” cried Pat, scratching his head with one hand and feeling for hi3 purse with the othef---*‘but, young man, let me give you a bit of advice. When yez bring any bundles for me don’t put on anything mysterious again , but jist reverse the big letters, D. 0. C., and then yez can deliver on collection which any fool can understand !” Female Printers. —The Maoon Citizen is about to employ female com positors The Field and Fireside is entirely set by young ladies . The Editor says they belong to the best families in that State, who wer.> ruined tiy the war. A number of girls are also employed on the Montgomery Ad vertiser. “ What makes you look so gram, Tom?” “Oh, l had to endure a sad trial to my feelings.” “What on earth was it?” “Why, I had to tie on a pret ty girl’s bonnet while her raa was look ing on.” -V A> ERROR CORRECTED. M.r. Beecher, in his. recent letter to the Committee of the soldiers and sail lor*’ Convention, makes the following statement i ‘ “Churches in the North crown every hill, and schools swarm in every neigh borhood ; while the South has but tew scattered lights, at long distances, like • light-houses twinkling along the edge of a continent of darkness.’’ The reflection upon the .Southern States is entirely gratuitous, and is in deed a ‘ palable misrepresentation, as the following facts, which appeared in the pnited States census of 1850 will show. ■ In 1850 there were 21,387 churches in the Northern States, and 16,(358 in the Southern States. The proportion, 1 church to 628 person in the North, and 1 church to 562. persons in the South. The accommodations of these churches were 8,656,0(31 sittings for 13,434,922 persons North, and 5,541,'- 875, sittings for 9,6 4,G5G persons South, Thus, 64 persons out of 100 could attend service at the same time in the North, and 57 out of 100 in the South, including whites and slaves alike. Thus the Northern States had only 7 per cent, greater accomodations than the Southern. Surely the difference indicated by this statement docs not warrant the charge of heathenism upon the Sou thern people. n . But if we include the negroes, as has been asserted by many Northern papars and preachers, from our church es, we have these results : Pop. N. States. .. . .13,434,922 Sittings in N. Chs, . . 8,656,061 64 in 100. Pop. S. States, ..... . . 6,460,343 Sittings in S. Chs, .. . ‘ . 5,541,875 85 in 100.’ Thus, 85 white persons in 100 could attend servee in the South, and only 64 in the North —a difference of 21 per cent, in favor of the South ! Now if we include the whole white population of the South, and all the negroes over 15 years of age, the Sou thern churches would accommodate 65 in 100 of the population South, against 64 in 100, the accommodation of the churches North. Yet in the opinion of Mr Beecher, in 1850, the South was inhabited by a comparatively bar barous and heathen people l—Sat. Herald. —■■ ■ ■ ’■.— The Torch-and-Turpentinc Party. Parson Brownlow, Says the World , is hailed by the Radicals as their evangelist. This minister of the gospel of peace everywhere publishes his piety and his statesmanship in these fitting terms: I would divide your army into three <rrand divisions; Let the first go armed and equipped as the laws of the army require, with small arms and artillery. Let them he the largest division and let them do the killing. Let the sec ond division be armed with pine torch es and spirits of turpentine , and let them do the burning. Let the third and last division be armed with sur veyors’ compasses and chains, and will survey out the land and settle it. We ill first sell it out to pay the ex penses of the war with the proceeds, and then settle it with men who will honor this glorious banner. These are my sentiments. General Butler, the warrior of the Radicals,, accepts the torch-and turpentine gospel. In his speech at Gloucester. Mass., he, too, contended for the lorfeiturc of “the property, the rights and the lives’’ of the Southern people. Forney, the journalist of the torch and-turpentine party, publishes in his Press a prayer for those who are labor-, ing lor the restoration of the Southern people to the right of calling upon God to. Sweep them away as with pestilence that their wives may become widows and their children, orphans , and that, their names may become a hissing, a by-word, and a reproach throughout all generations-. Wendell Phillips, the orator of the torch-ahd-turpentine party, calls down upon President Johnson, the Northern advocates of his policy, and the Southern people, like curses ; and Thaddeus Stevens, their leader in the Hump Congress, would consign them all to “the penitentiary ot hell.” The Torch-and-Turpentino party are they not fitly namod ?

This oil will neutralize every form of vegetable or mineral poison with which physicians and chemists are acquaint ed. — Lynchburg News. - ■■ —. Colonization op the Blacks.— The American Colonization Society has received applications from six hun dred colored people at the South for a passage to the Republic of Liberia, and the society has asked the New York branch to assume one-third tho ex pense in fitting out the expedition. The board has the subject under eon sideratioa. YOL. VI.--.Yo. 42. Whipping the Peti.l .Hound the Stump.— The Round Table , a New York publication, publishes a startling article upon drunkenness among women. It says the vice is prevalent among fashionable ladies, and that some of the most elogant of them will pass this summer not at Sara toga or Newport as usual, but at an asylum for inebriates. The writer in l tiluates that t.lio vice of fashionable drinking is now more prevalent among the ladies than among the gentlemen of the country ; that certain dressma kers make it a point to furnish their customers with drink, while in some stores bottles of wine arc also kept on hand for lady shoppers, and in others the merchants allow their boys to go to the nearest bar room for liquor when ladies desiie it. Whiskey and.brandy are the favorite drinks of these ladies and as some of the saloons they fre quent do not have these liquors on the bill of fare, a neat little sign—“if you do not see what you want, ask for it,” gives the hint to the initiated. In dressmakers’bills the significant item . “small trimmings” often covers up the expense of liquors which the lady has ordered through the modiste who pan* ders to her vitiated taste, while at the watering places a bribe to the waiter procures a secret supply of liquor, which, by the connivance of the land lord, is charged as “extra luncheons.” It is asserted that girls of eighteen, daughters of most respectable New York merchants, have been seen gross ly intoxicated in Broadway stages and upon the public streets, and that no superiority of. intellect or social posi tion is sufficient t'guard a lady against this vice. - ■ . ■ *— Something we all Ougtit To know. — The Treasury Department will not recognize as ot full valie torn greenbacks. If any part of a bill is lost, a discount is made in proportion. Tako an example—one-fourth of a five dollar greenback is torn off, the value of t he note is worth but 83.75; a fifty dollar greenback in the same condition is worth #37.50. Tho names ot the sign ers may be legibly written on the face of a bill, but that will not avail , any thing if a portion of the note is lost. There may be a reason,and it is probai bly a good one, why this difference is made, but we cannot see the necessity of it. — Savannah News. We understand this requirement of the Treasury Department grew out of the circumstance of attempts at clip ping bills,, thereby making eleven bills out of ten. Numerous instances of this Yankee cuteness and shrewdness havo come to the notice of the Treasurer. This caused an order to be issued from the Treasury Department to all receiv ing offices and dtspositories of the Government to receive all mutilated bills at a price proportioned to the amount of paper torn or cut from the bill, llaggcdness of a bill docs not lessen its value, provided none of the parts are lost. Col. Sun. Effect of Failure. —The New York Journal of Commerce rightly regards the present as a time of unpre cedented importance, and says: “If the efforts of Union loving, men fail now to establish the great princh pies of the Constitution as the law for Southern as well as Northern States, then the war will have proved a total failure, and the outlay of money and blood worse than vain. It is time for all men to awake, if they are not al ready awake, and to work for national •peace and tranquility. We have had enough of theories. We have been led far enough by men who insist on governing by their moral ideas, and administering law, not as it is, but as they think it ought to be. To compel a Southern State to adopt any peculiar domestic law, to dole out to it the terms ot suffrage and the system of social equalities and inequalities which it is to take and live under, to prescribe local legislation to any State, Northern ot Southern, not prescribed by the Constitution of the United States is to violate the Constitution, violate the principles of self-government, destroy the balance of the whole Union, and open the way for eternal quarrels be tween sections.’* — % ► ■ - - - fiSTAnot'hef steamer load of negroes left the Fortress on Saturday for Bos ton.
