An Address to the Delinquent
feubserilier* of tlie ‘’Dawson
Journal.”
Pay Ihe, Printer —Times are better
Than they ever were before,
And Ihe trilie that yon owe him
Will increase his little store.
It will buy a ream of paper,
Or, it may be, pay a bill,
That the butcher has presented,
Fur the bones that would not fill.
Corn, you know, iB worth a dollar,
Colt in's going now for twenty,
Chicken's—worth a little fortune,
&r!(5 9 — are high and not so plenty.
Fodder—oh ! our cow dou’t kuow i’,
It U long since last she saw
Any of tho prime material,
Shucks or meal to fill her maw.
Weather, too, is growing colder,
And cur wood-pile’s very low,
Where anew supply’s to come from
Now alas ! wo do not know,
For the chap we got our wood from,
Says he has not any more
Till the old accouut is settled,
Ejo commencing anew score.
Then come up, ye hardened sinners,
Yc who have not paid for years,
Long—oh, long, we’ve prayed unto you
Till our eyes are filled with tears.
But we are now sick of talking
Through the columns of the Journal,
So wo thought we would dun you,
And commit your case unto the Eternal.

To the Editor of the Enquirer and Ex
aminer :
Iu 1837, John C. Calhoun, whose
pcisp ouitv wug so wonderful that his
prophecies have become history, thus ad
dressed the Seuate of ihe United Statos :
“He assured that emancipation itself
would not satitly ther-e fanatics ; that
gained, the next step would be to raise
the negroes to a social and political
equality with ihe whites* and that be
ing effected, wo would soon find the
present condition cf the two races rever
sed.” “1 Bpcak with full knowledge
and a through examination of the sub
ject, and, fur one, see n;y way clearly.
One thing alarms me—:bo eager pur
suit ol gain which overspresds the land,
aud absorbs every faculty of the mind
ami every feeling of the hear!. Os all
passions, avarice is the most blind aud
uneomproniising~ihe last tosce and the
first to yield to danger. I dare not
hope that anything 1 can say will arouse
the South to a tiua sense (if danger; I
fear it is beyond the power of m rial
voice to a sake it in time from the fatal
security into which it has fallen.”
By the fist of fate emancipation,
stt eped in the blood cf thousands, has
come upon us with a curse more dread
ful than the locusts and frogs of Egjpt.
Bo much of the prophecy then, has
been fulfilled. The social and politi
cal equality of whiles and blacks ftarcs
us iu the face. If may bo forced upon
us ; but has avarice so absorbed “every
faculty of the mind and every feeling
of the heart,” that Virginians, for pal
try pelf, should don their own rob sos
disgrace, that they should help rcve:se
the proud motto of tho glorious Old
Dominion, *nd lick tfco tyrant’s foot
which oppresses her fair neck? Can
her sons have so degenerated as, with
voluntary band, to place this fitigma
upon her fair old name ? If our con
querors have the power to foroe a “re
publican constitution’ upon us, with its
damning principle of social aud politi
cal equality, they have neither the pow
er nor the right to compel us to degrade
ourselves by voting for it..
Every true Virginian who has the
honor of his old Btute at heart, who
holds saertd her past history, w ll en
ter his protest against ary system of
organic laws which hehimsolf has had
no voice in framing. When after ages
shall mark the change in the history of
Virgiuia under the “new constitution,”
let it be recoidcd that her sons, true to
the last, refused to sign her death war
rant, aud entered upon the black era
with a strict submission to the decree
of an inevitable fata.
Unlcsn the “new constitution” is mate
rially modified, let every Vtrgiuian to
whom the memory of the past is sacred,
and who holds dcir the iicnor of bis
old Stale, go to the polls aud enter bis
protest against its adoption.
llanoVer:
It’s Dark.
The following beautiful sentiments
are from Meister Kan’s Sketch Book,
entitled the “Night of Heaven.” It is
full of touchicg tenderness ;
“It is dark when the honest aod
honorable man sees the result of years
swept cruelly away by the knavish,
heartless adversary. It is dark when
he feels the clouds cf sorrow gather
round and knows that the hopes and
happiness of otters are fading with his
own. But in that hour the memory
of past integrity will be a true conso
lation, and assure him even hero on
earth of gleams of light in Heaven.
It is dark when the dear voice of that
sweet obi Id once fondly loved, is no
more heard around in murmurs. Dark
when the pattering feet no more re
sound without tho threshold, or ascend
step by step up stairs. Dark when
some well known air recalls the strains
once oft attuned to childish voice now
hushed in death I Darkness; but only
theghom which now heralds tho daj
spring c 4 immortality, and the icfiiuite
light of lleavcu.

All accounts from Crittendon county 1
arc ct similar import, and confirm tho'
worst that has been told oouoorning
the conduct pf the Military toward the !
citizens. The negro military arc rov-1
ing over the country in strong armed
sqund\ taking everything they fancy 1
and destroying much that they cannot!
carry. A reign of terror prevails which I
is difficult to be undcistood abroad, i
The wort.l days of the war have returned
upon the people. All business is sus
pended aud the people are afraid to
complain or attempt to escaps.
D y bolore yesterday a gang of the
military went to the house ot Mr. Jack
Ware, near Marion, an original and
consistent Union man, and sacked his
premises of every thing valuable. He
was well to-do in the world, but the
work of nearly a life-time was swept
away heft re his eyes in an hour. Many
other citiz ns in tho neighborhood wore
treated in tho same way.
On the same day a party of the negro
milhurj attempted to outrage the per
sons of four highly respoctablo wLile
ladies—Mrs, Jeff R-eics, Miss Swops
ton, daughter of the newly elected Rad
ical county clerk, and two otLers, names
unknown. By borne means they were
foiled in their damnable attempt*, and
several of them were arrested. The offi
cerß threatened to make exatnplos of
them, but so far all examples have been
on the ot! er side.
I.ast Thursday night wo learn the
five citizcr.s who have been held as
“hcßlages” were hung up by General
Upbam until li e was nearly extinot, to
try to force them to disclose tact* sup
posed to be iu their possession. Nothing,
however, was elicited, as tho victims of
this torture probably kuew nothing to
t ill. When cut down it was fouud that
they were Dearly dead, and one of the
members were restored to life with grew,
difficulty. The statement oomes frvm a
reliable freedman, and is supposed by
respectable testimony Friday night
three of these citizens were spirited
away, aud have not since been hoard
from. Their fate is unknown ; bu no
one knowing tho reckless character of
the military would be surprised to hear
that the geutlcmec so long incarcerated
and tortured without cause, except mere
barhaiism, hud been murdered in the
woods. Two others are yet in jail at
Marion, and have but glimmering hopes
of liberation, or even life.
We aresaiisli and that tbo tenth pari
of tho many cu;rages committed daily
by the military in Arkansas has never
beon published, and probably never will
be. The means of violence and op
pression are abundant, but tuc com
plaints of the wronged people travel
on tardy wings.
It was reported yes’erj: y that tie
negro mil t-ry had nearly all left the
neighborhood of Maiijn for Mississippi
county, above, whore they will of course
re euaot the fearful scenes of plunder,
and ruin, and personal injury prepe
trated in other portions of the untoriu
nato State.
Northkry Sympathy with “Rkb
els.”—The New York 'Time* says;
It is a littl • carious to observe with
what intense Je'iglit we (tear of a re
bellion against any Govirumcut, no
matter what it is, or where it is, so it
be not our own. VVe don’t stop to in
quire into the o' j :xit of tho result, irs
uiolkcs or chances of success, orwhethcr
it is likely tobenifit or ruin who
ongage in it. 11 it is only a rebellion
against a Government, that is all wo
ask. It has all our sympathy—all
our good wishes—all the help we can
give it without getting iuto tronblc
ourselves. The Fenians in Ireland—
the handful of Cretan* st« ving in hopes
of overthrowing the Turkuh Govern
ment—the Spanish Liberals ovortbiow
iug the monarchy. And now the Cu
baus rebelling against the Spanish Lib
crals—they ail h.ve the sympathy and
encouragement of our people. The
previ ent idea with us on this sul j c
stems to be that all government is bad
and ought to be overthrown, aud that
wo’re bound by on’ principles, our tras
ditious and our interest to help those
noble spirits who rebel against authori
ty any win re or ot whatever sort. One
would thick oor own experience should
teach us the necessity of some discri
mination in this matter. We insisted
that no foreign nation should sympa
thy with our rebels, no matter what
they might think about the causes of
their rebellion. The whole thing was
nono of their business. Have we any
more concern with Crete, or of SpaiD,
or Cuba, or Ireland, than England had
with us during our war 1
Meu without Hearts.
We sometimes meet with men who
seem to think that any indulgence in
an affectionate feeling is weakness, they
will return from a journey and
greet their families with a distant dig
nity, and move among their children
with tho cold and lofty splendor of an
iceberg surrounded by its broken frag
ments. There, is hardly a mere un
natural sight on eaith than one of those
families without a heart. A father had
better Sx’ingulsh a boy’s eves thau
tako away his heart. Who that has
expo ioncvd the jys of friendship,
and values sympathy and affection,
would not rather loose all that is beaoti
ful in natuio’s soencry thau be robbed
of tho hidden treasuier of bis heart?
Cherish ; thon, your heart’s best affec
tions. Indulgo in the warm and gush
ihg emotions of trial, paternal, and fra
ternal love.--.Vf.32 Mtildch.

Tho fiendish murder (as was suppo--
sed) ol Mr Martin and bis two maiden
bisters, in Columbia county, a week or

We learned last night frond a gentlc
! man recently in that vicinity, that •»
white man named Aodcrsen TTpton
and three negroes were subsequently
arrested on suspicion of the murder and
lodged iu jail at TLomson. On Sun
day night last a party of men in dis
guise forced au entrance into the jail*
and carried off the man Upton and tba
negroes—since which time they have
not been seen or heard from. Th*-
reasonable presumption is that they
were put to death. Our informant
learned that Upton—who was a “bosom
frieud” of Martin’s—confessed be for#
loaving that he aod several negross
murdered Mr. Martin and his sister*,,
secured his money—s6oo in gold—and*
set fire to the house in order to oonceal.
