«lirrin, g a , August *,
“ l-uualiiny Ht a I'uucral.”
That good and groat man, Bit-Imp fierce,
delivered a sermon on last Sabbath, at the
Mithndist (’hnreb, in this place, which wo
heartily wish had been hoard by every inan,
woman, and child in tho whole South. We
refer to it now, however, with no intention
to reproduce the substance ol that eicellent
discourse in our column* ; we do so, simply
to draw attention to the remarkable expres
sion thnt fell from the Hi-hop's lips, in his
allusion* to the dancing and fiddling mania
SO unseasonably rife in our laud at present, —
tho cxpres-ioit that forms the caption of
these remarks, “ lAtwjhiwj at a funeral."
It has all the while been to us a source of
Tainted mortification and astonishment, to
sco or hear of the immense amount of heart
less frivolities that have been going on, nnd
nrc oven now on tho increase, over since the
downfall of our beloved Confederacy. We
do not believe that the bulk of our Southern
people rejoice at the disastrous issue of our
glorious eansc ; but we must think that too
many oft! cm, in the selection of their sports
and mirths, exhibit a thuuglitlctHtictw that
would lead to the inference that they were,
or bad become, indifferent to the fate of their
country, and cared not, and mourned
for the lnrsts of their brethren sacrificed in
tho lost cause*.
For ourselves, wo are not opposed, in the
abstract, to dancing, music, picnics, tourna
ments, and all that class of amusements or
past-times, ordinarily innocent enough ; hut,
at tho present juncture of things,—a whole
people enslaved, many of their best citizens
withering in exile, or pining and wusting
avruy in poisonous cells, penury nnd starva
tion howling through the land, —it does ap
pear that nil this mirth to whi h wo have
alluded, and which wo have partially enu
merated, look* very much like, in the Ilish
op’s language, “ laughing at a funeral.”—
The ancient Jews, in their long captivity in
Babylon,—a full three score years and ten,
man’s allotted period on earth—could not
even sing their old songs; their harps were
left hanging on the willows. Hut we, just
ns down trodden, as hopelessly enslaved, arc
already forgetting, it would seem, the mise
ries of our fettered or exiled sons, and are
rioting in mirth, as if there were no un
sodden graves all in our midst, as if peace,
nnd love, and forgiveness, and charity, and
fnilh, and hope, and plenty, again blessed
the land with their smiles and their sunshine.
Let us rather put off these demonstrations
of dance, and song, ntid wine, till our poor
wasting prisoners are released, till our exiles
are bidden to return, and till at. least the
storm of war has passed over, and the rain
bow of peace a,gain arches our skies. For
the appearance of tho thing, if not in genu,
ineness and reality, let us so far respect the
martyred dead, and those of the living in
exile or in chains, as for it not even to sccw
that we arc “ lamjhimj at a/mural."
M lint May Take l’lnrc.
Some of the Philadelphia journal* are
hinting very unmistakably, that the presence
of rebels ami copperheads in that goodly
city of llroad Prims, may not bo looked
upon, after all, in any light better than that
of u most unwelcome nuisance. In this
connection, vague insinuations are dropped,
that possibly an indignant community might
find itself transformed quietly into an ele
gant mob—the rceult of which moving of
the masses, might be that the ousted Con
ventionists would eontc out second best.—
For precedent, might they not plead the
breaking up of a recent Radical Convention
at Now Orleans? Tliere is no telling what
those threateners will do.
Now, if the South is determined to try
her hand anyhow at the Philadelphia Con
vention, why not send delegates, with eyes
wide open, prescient men, who forewarned
will go forearmed. Let them thus go, and
if the Radicals attempt to break up the Con
vention, and the Northern Democrats and
Conservative Republicans show enough
signs of resentment and fight, then pitch in,
aud then and there inaugurate a conflict
that shall save the Government, or smash it
into a thousand fragments. The Radicals
have threatened war, —then let them bo me*
on their own terms, bend, then, brave men,
high-minded ex-rebels who fought, and can,
and will fight again, if needed, who will take
no oaths to get into the Convention, and
who will not be driven thence by Radical
man or Radical devil, and possibly some
thing will be done. Let half way men stay
at home.
X-g?" It is stated that an elder brother op
the late .Senator Jim Lane, of Kansas, also
committed suio de, and under peculiar cir
cumstances. “He graduated at West Point
in 182S, and in 1830, during the Florida
war, in which ho was actively engaged, he
was promoted to the command of a regiment
of Indians. Shortly after his promotion,
directly after going into camp one evening,
alter a day’s march, he placed the hilt of his
sword on the ground, and the point in his
eye, and threw himself on it. No cause for
his suicide was ever known or conceived of.

Not Such ? inall^^tatoe*
The journals in favor of the Philadelphia
Convention, one or another, have been cxcr
eL iug ihtmadvea Very nu+tily a* u> the **»»(-

to'aid Convcntio *, fir, at lr-t*t, ind:fferrnt
about it. * toe paper .-ail that there was but
•me respectable paper in all the South not in
favor of the I’hiladelphl i concern; ano her
insinuates that all opposed to it, wi re Hndi
cals, while .-till another ii.aisted that all the
“ old soldiers ’* were Philadelphia Conven
tionista, leaving the implication that none of
that respectable class (the “old soldiers”)
were opposed to sending dchgates to the
(Quaker city trap. After multiplied slurs,
and insinuations, and depreciatory flings ot
all sorts, thrown at those who happen not to
view the Philadelphia Convention with im
plicit confidence, one of the number lias
modulated th<* song to altogether a different
key. The t one to be sung now, is, that if
the Philadelphia investment proves a losing
business, the whole failure is to be attribu
ted to that unrcaprctable quasi radical, un
trusting portion of Southern iiimi, so ea'led,
who saw fit to think differently ofthe con
cern from thcin-clvcs.
To this effect—that is, casting around to
shift responsibility—Judge Gibson, who pre
sided at the Kith District Convention, held in
Augusta, on the 2hill ultimo, on taking the
chair, made a speech in which we find the
following very significant sentence.
“If however,” said the Judge, “we
should fail, let the responsibility—North and
South, Fast and West—rest upon those who
have opposed or may oppose us in our efforts
to restore once more harmony and prosperity
to oar nation.”
Jiis oracular Honor, after indiscreetly be
fraying that ho anticipated failure, had un
generously, to throw the cause of that fail
ure, in aihance, upon the insignificant class
above alluded to ; yea, worse than “ insignifi
cant,” for the ertnined gentleman li»d to say,
most disingenuously, that those who happen
to have no confidence in the Philadelphia
Convention, did it, not for the reasons they
had avowed, but because “ they opposed us
(him nnd tho rest of the factotums) in our
efforts to restore onco more harmony and
prosperity to our nation."
Another Epidemic.
Besides Cholera, and Suicide-mania, with
sundry epidemics among the lower animals,
we now have anew disease, called the arsoti
mania, being nothing more nor less than an
almost resistless proclivity to set fire to
houses, churches, cities, and indeed every
thing that can be devoured by tho destroy
ing element. What is remarkable, in con
nection with this new malady, is that it
rages in exact keeping with the locomotion
of the great Arson King, (Jen. Sherman. It
is accounted for on the known principle of
siiggestion or association. 'l'hc victim of
hydrophobia, wo know is provoked to a
fresh paroxysm of his disease, at the sight
of water, or at even the very mention ofthe
nan:o of "water. Just in this way, it is
deemed that the unfortunate person labor
ing under arson-mania, is driven to burn
houses, cities, and everything that is com
bustible, whenever hosecs General She man
or reads about him, or is brought to think of
him by any association of idea.l
- this view of the case, would it not
be the proper policy to retire the said Gen
oral long enough trout the public, for the
Medical Faculty to learn how to treat this
strange malady ? If he is suffered to lo?o
--inote, anil speechify, and make himself
plenty here, and there, and yonder, as he
has been doing for several months past, he
will occasion the burning-down of half the
cities in the Union, the breaking-up of all
the Insurance offices in the country,—and
the whole land to become a scene of charred
ruins to become, in a word, Shermanizrd.

I’a isou itiimnlow-Official Ruf
fianism
Up to a recent date, Parson Brownlow.
of Tennessee, had the reputation of being
the foulest-mouthed man that spoke the
English language, which is equal to saying
the foulest-mouthed man on earth, for the
Knglish language has capacities of vulgar
foulness equalled by no other form of mortal
speech with which we arc acquainted. Ilis
ribaldry and blasphemy as a preacher shock
ed even the rude ruffians of the Southwest,
while his scurrility as a politician and edi
tor, gave him a position which no decent
men could approach. After having done
as much us any other individual of his
capacities in the South to stimulate the full
spirit of Slavery to war and treason, lie saw
fit for selfish ends, and to the disgust of every
loyal man in the country, to take sides with
tho Unionism of Kast Tennessee. Neither
they nor we had any more respect for his
selfish loyalty than for his ribald piety ; but
the course and force of circumstances kept
him from open treachery by making it dan
gerous ; and the generous attention and help
he obtained from the courageous and un
flinching leader of the Tennessee Unionists,
who is now President of the United States,
induced him to endure till the rebellion was
prostrated by our armies. .F.vrn the fonl
ness of.his tongue seemed to suffer nn abate
ment for a short while, and i appeared ns
if time might cause him finally to be toler
ated by reputable people. Uttd-r these cir
cumstances, and under prospect of reforma
tion. Mr. Johnson was more than generous
to him, aiding him to place and power, and
finally assisting him to obtain the position of
Governor, which Johnson had vacated to
as-umc the Vice-Prisidcncy. But, the dog
will return to his vomit, and the serpent will
plunge his fangs into the bosom in which he
inis been warmed, Brownlow turned on the
President —turned on him for ends as base
and srlfi-h as had formerly led him to join
with him. The President would not—as he
could not—permit him to carry out the atro
cious and savage purposes he had designed
upon those who were his enemies—that is
to say, the greater part of the people of Ten
nessee, who had neither voted for him nor
would uphold him.
Brownlow actually wanted to inaugurate
a general massacre and plunder of those
whom he had made foes by thirty years of
personal insult; and lie proclaimed this in
language so fiendishly vindictive as to shock
eveiy man who had any manhood left in his
nature. The President stood between him
and his outrageous pu. r noses; and Brown
low turned from the people whom the I resi
dent had saved upon the Presided* himself.
His office as Governor gave him tio n.'2 re
self respect now than his vocation of preach
er had given him Christian character, while
the fact that Mr. Johnson holds the office of
President seemed to add zest to the rancour
of his assaults. He swore and raved more
furiously than he had ever done before, and
used language that would put to the blush
even that ofthe malignant madmen of Con
gress. lie vented his personal malice “in
| season, and out of season,” in speeches, public
documents, and in bis newspaper ; and let no
actor word ofthe President’s pass without
finding in.it new opportunity of revenge for
his grievances. It was quito in keeping,
therefore, when in a dispatch to Washing
ton, on Thursday last, announcing the pas
sage of tho Constitutional Amendment in one
brunch if the Legislature, lie had the black
guard insolence to add,
“ Give my compliments to the dirty dog
at the White House.”
Ho knew, of course, that in using such
language he was perfectly safe from any no
tice or reply from the party immediately as
sailed ; and if it brought him renewed con
tempt from all decent men, that was but
what he had been accustomed to from the
beginning of his career.
Pretty good for the New York Times.
“ Murder as a Political Art.” —
Under this caption, the Cincinnati Gazette,

upon the //life of Buchanan We suppose
there arc old grannies in Cincinnati who will
believe ibis story, and hold up their hands
in holy horror at the supposed wickedness of
onr people. Hut that anv man having three
grains of common sense should believe it, is
incredible. The editor of the Gazette , says
tho Richmond Dispatch, ot tho 7th instant,
is either a knave or a fanatical fool. Either
he gives currency to this base slander for
political purposes, well knowing it be false
in every ['articular, or else he is totally un
fit for the position ho bolds. No one in the
South will argue such a question.' Wc feel
nothiug but pity for the folly which could
credit such stories, and nothing but contempt
for lie vile landerer who originate them.

The Charlottesville Chronicle, referring to
the various inodes of treating the South pro

These loyal men remind us of a parcel of
cannibals who have just got a fine missiona

I to a tree, and then confer how they shall
; cook him. One fellow says, '• let’s toast him
whole over a slow fire—just toast him until
he is a little browned.” “ Oh, no,” says
j another, “ stew him—stewed missionary is
; the nicest thing in the world.” “ Oh, no,’’
i says a third, “you don’t know anything—
! the vigil! way to eat that man is to put iiim
in pie stuffed with potatoes.” Sumner
cries out, “ I'd like to make mince nn-at of
him, or pass him through a sau-age mill.”
Stevens says, “ Pickle him raw, I like acids.”
Botts says; “ Don't lets eat the whole ot him
—just take off his arms an I legs, and lets
have them fried—they are equal to pig’s
feet.
A mild old savage looks on benignantly,
' and says : “ My dear friends, it is a pity to
eat the poor creature —let’s try and human
ize him, for he is a man like ourselves, not
withstanding lie wears clothing and holds
such atrocious opinions—my judgment is
that we shall untie him and let him go, pro
vided he is disposed to do the fair thing and
join us—if he will promise to become a de
cent savage I would turn him loose—when
he agrees that a savage is as go .and as a mis
sionary, and gets on the platform ofequ -1
rights, I would give him and his friends.
I (when we catch them) a general amnesty.”
