Tile Unsettled Condition of Our People!
Ever since the termination ot the war,
many of our people, in all sections of
the South, have been unsettled, restless
and dissatisfied. Gloom and sadness,
like a sullen and lowering cloud, have
hung over them, and they have been
without a ray of hope to cheer them, or
one single bouyant prospect to animate
them in the eventful future. So thor
ough and profound has been this state
of things, that all attempts to span out
the bow of promise, and to impart light'
and hope and joy, has been utterly fu
tile, and gladly would we become the
good and kindly Samaratan, If we could
thereby revive the way-worn and pom
on the healing oil of consolation and
comfort.
It were iv: less to announce to our
readers that the effect of all this dispon
denev and uncertainty as to the future,
can only eventuate in a vast deal of
harm and mischief. It is well known,
that many thjis unfortunately depressed,
have thrown their lands and their stock
upon the market and, in frequent in
stances, have disposed of them at ruin
ous prices. Wc have known superior
lauds, worth in times of peace, from iif-
teen to twenty dollars per acre, sold for
a mere trifle, say from two to five dol
lars, and other valuable property sacri
ficed iu the same proportion. All this
was done because they were unhappy,
and they come to the conclusion that
they could do better by going some
where else. To-be-sure they bad no idea
where they were going, or where they
ought to go ; but go somewhere they
must, so determined were they not to
remain in their old position. W e heard
of onc'man, in an adjoiirug county,
who sold his premises at a very low fig
ure, and spent months in Texas looking
for a home, but returned disgusted and
bought back his former plantation, and
lias wisely determined to settle down
and go to work. What a misfortune
that others will not go and do likewise.
If our people do not resolve to con
tent themselves and yield to inexorable
circumstances which environ them, we
can only predict the worst of conse
quences. Aot only will they suffer in
dividually, impoverishing themselves
,and their children ; but they will para
lyze industry and prostrate the whole
country. It takes individuals to make
communities, and communities to make
States, and if the former fail to fulfill
their obligations, the latter will feel the
effects of it and suffer in proportion. —-
A nd hence every man ought to consider
that ho is bound by the highest consid
erations of duty, as well as of interest,
to contribute to the general welfare and
not to allow his personal inconveniences
and drawbacks to hinder the great work
of promoting common success and ad
vancement. Let every one confront his
.iirm:nines', wiiicn are often more imagi
nary than real, and remove them by
brave and heroic deeds. Supineness
inaction and despondency, will only aug
ment and aggravate them, and make
the task of surmounting them far more
serious and troublesome. What have
we lost that wo may not soon regain by
close application and persistent indus
try? And what will we accomplish if
we repine and refuse to tax our energies
and to man up our courage and faith ?
Our shattered fortunes must be repaired,
which can never be done by bitter
wailings over our present condition.—-
Throw, therefore, your fears and your
gloom to the winds and resolve, once
more, to be men, and soon the solitary
places will be made glad, and the wil
derness will blossom like a rose!
Dangers I'nojr 111-treatment op
Cattle. —We call attention to the fol
lowing paragraph. We have "often
thought of the same thing and won
dered how mneh'mean beef it has been
our lot to eat. Butchers are in the hab
it of keeping for days, their cattle in a
dry lot without any provinder of any
sort, and this is the beef the people are
forced to eat !
“Having gone so far, let xne calf
your attention to tlie dangers arising
from ill-treatment of beef cattle before
slaughtering them While in Brazil, 1
learned that the city of Para suffered
from the quality of the beef sold in the
public market, deteriorated because the
ox and cows killed in the city were
brought in from a considerable distance,
and were often kept many days with
out food. ’ The matter grew so bad that
a company was formed to bring,, by
steam, beef killed upon the farms; anil
everybody felt the difference in the con
dition of the meat and its nutritive
qualities.”— (Exchange.)
The Struggle with the [Radicals,
Every circumstance points unmistak
ably, to a sharp and desperate struggle
between the President and the Radical
party\ For some months past it has
been assuming form and tangibility, un
til now there can be no further doubt as
to the issue.
It is a moral impossibility that they
should ever agree, for, independent of
their mutual hatred towards each other,
which is very bitter, there is a strong
and well marked difference in their po
litical creed. Both have been raised in
a different school of politics and educa
ted by different expounders of their re
spective creeds. Johnson is a Democrat,
and has been one all his life; and so
thoroughly has he been indoctrinated in
that faith,that nothing now could change
his views. He believes in the greatest
possible liberty, and has unbounded
confidence in tho integrity and patriot
ism of the masses. It is hard to con
vince him that they will do wrong if
left to themselves. Born and reared
among them, he professes to know them,
and is abundantly assured of their good
intentions.
Then he is a States’ Rights’ man, as
much so as ever John 0. Calhoun was,
or any advocate of that old democratic
doctrine. The defunct federal idea of
centralization, which took its origin in
Alexander Hamilton, and which was ex
ploded by Thomas Jefferson, never met
with any favor at his hands. On the
contrary he was uncompromising in His
opposition to it and has fought it for
years. He lias al ways maintained that
States were sovereign and that there
were certain rights and privileges, pecu
liar to their existence which were be
yond the reach of the general govern
ment. In a word he was a Jeffersonian
Democrat, which will, at once, be tin.
derstood.
It is not, therefore, strange that we
find him and the Radical party in direct
antagonism, nor can we otherwise con
clude than that antagonism will continue
to increase in bitterness and intensity
until, perhaps, It ripens into an open
rupture. If the Radicals succeed, then
Johnson goes to tho wall, unless he has
the back-bone to fight, which we pre-
dict lie will do with a vengeance. He
has pluck of the highest order and can
not he intimidated by all the devils in
carnate, of the North. Die press has
given intimation that lie will, likely,
modify his views, in some particulars, in
order to appease the Radicals, but that
is all a mistake, as the public will very
soon know, when his forthcoming mes
sage shall make its appearance. It will
then be seen that, instead of yielding
an inch, he will re assert, with augment"
ed tenacity, his former position and will
be more open and defiant than ever be
fore. Mark the prediction !
Estimate op Gen. Grant.— Some of
the Radical newspapers are now calling
Gen. Grant “a military adventurer.’
One of them in Boston, says he is “a
person of limited information and com
mon-place ideas, with some obstinate
prejudices, and not a superabundance
of intelligent convictions.” — (Ex.)
Precisely the oiiim™ « u had formed
oftlie man. True it is the opinion of
the Radicals, but that makes no sort of
difference, for our conclusions were
formed long before the Radicals bad
said anything upon the subject. lie is
what you may call a fifth rate man, and
so stupid that he is hardly capable of
expressing an intelligent idea. Ills
reticence lias been construed into some
thing very remarkable, and about that
we will not differ, as, had lie been more
communicative, lie would have shown
the shallowness of his brain. lie mag
be fishing for the next presidency, and
we think is, but no party can feel very
highly complimented that may claim
him. For our part, we think the South
had better “hands off” and let him
alone for the present.
Memoranda for Young Ladicri
An incorrigible old bachelor, not a
thousand miles from this place, compiles
the following memoranda for young
ladies. The horrible wretch :
‘‘Have a good piano or none. Be
sure to have a ‘dreadful cold’ when
asked to ‘favor the company.’ Cry at
a wedding, but don’t faint. Always
scream St a spider. Never leave your
cm 1 papers in the drawing room. Drop
your handkerchief when you are a
going to faint. Mind you are ‘engaged’
if you don't like your partner. Abjure
ringlets on a wet day. Never faint
unless it is convenient to fall into the
arms of a young gentleman you love.
Remember it’s vulgar in the extreme
to know what j-ouv mother is going to
have for dinner! When you go a shop
ping, he sure to take Ma along to car
ry the bundles. Get married to the
greatest ‘duck, of a preacher in town,
if yon can; at all events be sure and got
married,”
John C. Breckinridge has left Lon
don, with His family, and gone to Gene
va. i
Late John M. Daniel on Beast, Butler,
One of our readers, whose attention
was attracted by the speech of General
Butlet, in pur columns recently, sends
tis the following article, cut from a stray
copy of the Richmond Examiner, which
found its way northward in 1802. It
has been preserved as part of a collec
tion of elegant extracts, to constitute, at
some future time, “ 77/e American Ver
nacular Reader .” The article from the
Richmond Examiner was written by the
late lion. John M. Daniel, who was at
that time its editor:
“The custom of denouncing the Yan
kees is becoming common, binder the
soft influence of a serenade, President
Davis likens them to hyenas; Governor
Letcher, in his mild way, insists that
they are a heaven-defying, hell-deserv
ing race; and pleasantly consigns their
chief magistrate, Abe Lincoln, to a doom
more fearful than that of Devergoll. Is
it to be wondered that Mr. Lincoln has
had a trouble on 1 iis mind ever since
this fearful doom was pronounced upon
him ; that lie is getting gray, and, finds
it difficult to tell a dirty anecdote every
ten minutes during the day?
The practice of villifying the Yankees
has gotten into the newspapers. Edi
tors spend most of their time in con
cocting diatribes against a contemptible
race, whose only defect is a proneness to
all that is foul and everything that is
evil. Why should a people so despica
ble be aspersed? Even this newspaper,
careful as it is never to say a word that
would disturb the most placid tea-party,
lias been known to speak disrespectfully
of a race which the civilized world,with
one consent, acknowledges to be “its
lasi and vilest product.”
Reflecting persons tell us that this is
altogether wrong. We should retain
ourselves, and be scrupulously polite
when speaking of these abominable vil
lains. We should remember that these
infernal scoundrels are human beings,
and bear in mind the fact that they nev
er lose an opportunity of heaping the
most ungracious abuse upon ourselves.
Nor should it bo forgotten that they
have attained an almost inconceivable
perfection and dexterity in lying, so that
if it were possible for us to match them
in Billingsgate, we would still he at
their mercy in the trifling matter of
falsehood. ’ We arc fold by our philo
sophic friends that it should serve to
cool the intensity of our hatred to re
member that they are hourly commit
ting every crime known to man, and
some with which even the fiends are not
familiar; that a thrill of delight should
pass through us, when we recall the
pressing circumstances, that upwards ol
a million of these incarnate demons are
hired by the year for the purpose of
murdering us, burning our houses, kill
ing oiir cattle, stealing our slaves, de
stroying our crops, and driving our
wives and helpless children into the
waste, howling wilderness, in mid win
ter; that a genial glow of the purest
love should pervade our hearts at the
thought that they candidly avow their
purpose to exterminate us, to kill every
one of us, men, women, and children, to
take possession by violence ; in a word,
to annihilate us, to destroy us from the
face of the earth, so that our names shall
be no more heard among men.
There is another view which should
encourage us in the purpose henceforth
to cherish an affectionate regard for the
accursed beings at war with ns. To a
well regulated mind the beastly prac
tice:- of beasts excite no disagreeable
emo'i ion; and it is said that the scientific
intellect finds a world of enjoyment in
the contemplation of the disgusting util
ity of the lowest order of creatures, —
Surely, the feast of the vulture upon
carrion is not reprehensible, and occa
sions in the beholder no special wonder,
and never any animosity against the bird
for gratifying his somewhat peculiar
tastes. So the tiger that laps blood,and
the beetle that gorges excrement, are
but Yankees of the animal kingdom, ac
commodating the wants of nature; and
it were folly to impute to them improp
er motives in partaking of their ghastly
and sickening repasts. It tollows that
our feeling towards the people of the
North, the scarabcei and vipers of hu
manity, should be characterized neither
by rage or by nausea, but by a fixed
cheerful, Christian determination to in
terpose sufficient obstacles between them
and ourselves; to curb their inordinate
and bloody lusts by such adequate means
as natural wi' suggests; and, as a gen
eral thing, to kill them wherever we
find them, without idle questions as to
whether they arc reptiles or vermin. A
cert ain calmness of mind is requisite for
their successful slaughter. The convul
sions of passion are out of place when
one is merely scalding chinches.
The foregoing reflections are sugges
ted naturally enough by the accounts in
Yankee newspapers, of Butler’s trium
phal progression from New York to
Washington and back again to Boston.
A great hue and cry has been raised at
the South because the spawns of North
ern cities- saw fit to prostrate themselves,
before this new Ilaynan, this modern
Virres, returned from his conquests—-
this beast emerging from his cave, filled
with dead men’s bones. Why this out
cry ? Wherefore assail the brute clotted
with gore, or the chimpanzees that dan
ced and chattered at his coming,and be
slobbered hint with praise. What had
this hog-hyena done contrary to his in
stincts, that we should so berate him
and his worshippers ? lie had hanged
Mninford. That was true Yankee cour
age. lie had issued a hellish order
against the ladies of New Orleans. That
was unaffected Yankee gallantry. He
had put the Mayor and hundreds of oth
ers into dungeons. That was the Yan
kee conception of the proper method of
administering the laws of the “best gov
ernment the world over saw.” He had
banished from the city more than twen
ty thousand people who had refused to
perjure themselves by taking the oath
of allegiance to tho United States. That
was the Yankee idea of justice.
He drove these people off without a
change of clothing and without SSO in
money. This was the Yankee idea of
humanity. He confiscated property by
millions. This was Yankee honesty.—
He supplied the rebels in Texas with
munitions of war and pocketed the pro
ceeds of the cotton received in exchange.
This was a smart Yankee trick, llis
troops were whipped at Baton Rouge
while he was in New Orleans; he was
never under fire and never smelt gunpow-
der, except at Hatteras, where the long
range guns of his fleet opened upon a
mud fort which'had no ordinance that
could reach him two miles off; and on
the strength of this lie issues an address
as pompous as Satan’s speech to the le
gions in the bottomless pit. This was
making material for Yankee history. Af
ter inflicting innumerable tortures upon
an innocent and unarmed people, after
outraging the sensibilities of civilized
humanity by his brutal treatment of wo
men and children, after placing bayonets
in the bands of slaves, after peculations
the most prodigous and the most infa
mous, be returns reeking with crime, to
his own people, and they receive him
with acclamations of joy, in a manner
that befits him and becomes themselves.
Nothing is out of keeping ; his whole
career and its rewards are strictly artis
tic in conception and in execution.
He was a thief. A sword that he had
stolen from a woman—the neicc of the
brave Twiggs—-was presented to him as
a reward of valor. He had violated the
laws of God and man. The law-makers
of the United States qoted him thanks,
and the preachers of the Yankee gospel
of blood came to him and worshipped
him. He had broken into the safes and
strong boxes of merchants. The New
York Chamber of Commerce gave hint
a dinner, lie had insulted women. —
Tilings in female attire lavished harlot
smiles upon him. lie was a murderer.
And a nation of assassins deified him.
lie is at this time the Representative
Man of a people lost to all shame, to all
humanity, all honor, all virtue, all man
hood, Cowards by nature, thieves
on principle, and assassins at
would he marvelous indeed if
of the North refused to
to Benjamin Butler—the
bloodiest, poltroon and
world ever saw.
Failure of the National Express Coinjia*
ny. An Assignment Wade
The following announcement, which
we find in the Richmond Times, will
cause a general feeling of regret:
The National Express and Transpor
tation Company, which has scarcely
been in operation twelve months, has
virtually failed. A deed of assignment
ol all property, rights and credits, has
been made by the Board of Directors to
John Blair Hoge, John J. Kelly and
0. Oliver O'Donnell, who had been se
looted as trustees to settle up the affairs
of the concern. According to the terms
of agreement, there arc certain priorit
ies of debts which are to be settled first,
among which we will enumerate:
First the payment of officers, agents,
and clerks and other imployees of the
company.
Second. Tho payment of two debts
(which are the principal creditors of the
company)—one due to the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company and the
other to the Bank of Commerce of
Baltimore, the exact sums of which
cannot now be stated.
Third. To indemnify any officer or
director of the company who may have
become liable as an endorser of the
company.
Fourth. The payment ot railroad
companies for transportation of express
matter.
Fifth. The payment of all other
debts and liabilities oftlie company in
rateable proportion.
The company is to he permitted to
remain in the use of its property till the
Ist of November, and thereafter till the
Trustees shall be requested by one or
\ more of the creditors secured, and
| whose debt or debts shall then ho due,
to take charge of such property. But
should the Board of Directors make a
1 request to that effect, the Trustees ap
pointed are permitted to assume con
trol of the matter and wind up the
affairs of the company at any time
from the date oftlie deed of assignment.
The deed covers several pages, and
has been entered on record in the Has
ting Court of this city.
This denrmemmt ot the National Ex
press Company is seriously to be de
plored, if for no other reason than the
fact that it gave employment to a large
number of needy persons. Its operations
were very extensive, and the sudden
announcement of its failure will doubt
less cause much astonishment.
A little girl, after haring been to
church, was very fond of preaching to iter
dolls. Ilcr mother overheard her one lay,
reproving one lor bring so wicked: “Oh,
you naughty, sinful child,” she said, shaken
its waxen limbs, “you’ll just go to that
place of brimstone and molasses, and you
won’t burn up —you’ll just sizzle.”
In Indianapolis, last Sunday, a
young twin named Leonidas Thomson was
shot dead by his room mate. The deceased
had left tire room and gene out without
waking his bed-fellow, upon returning, mis
took him for a burglar and shot him, kill
ing bint instantly. Both were young men
and highly respectable.
Impeachment and £lcm«vnl oftlie Presi
dent- Sonffe Plain Talk from General
Steadman.
Gen. Steadman made a speech at ,
Toledo, Ohio, on Monday night last, ;
from which wc make the subjoined ex
tracts. After showing that the Presi
dent was carrying out the policy of
Mr. Lincoln and of true restoration of
peace and Union, he proceeded:
For doing that they propose to im
peach Andrew Johnson, and remove
him from office, and put one of their
own men in his place. Well, now, I
don’t want to light with any body.
I have had fighting enough myself, and
I suppose you have. Still 1 have no
objection to a little fighting if the men
who did not fight in the last war,
chooses to have a little shinny among
themselves. We will hold their hats;
hut If they suppose that the American
people will quietly look on while a fac
tion deposes the President oftlie United
States, and take possession of the Gov
ernment with an armed mob, I say to
them here that they are mistaken.—
[Cheers.] And they had better not at
tempt it. [Applause.] For while we
do not want any trouble, while wc preiev
peace, not a painted peace, but a real
bonaff.de peace —while wc do not want
to discuss war with anybody, if Air.
Ashley supposes that by coming- here
and throwing his head back as he did
in 1801, and talking about war, lie is
going to frighten any body, 1 say to
him he is very much mistaken. [ Ap
plause.] While we do not want to
fight, we will never permit them to
organize armed mobs, start to Wash
ington, and take possession of the
Government, that they may telegraph
all over the country that a loyal and
patriotic Government has deposed
Andrew Johnson. They won’t be per
mitted to do it. [Cheers. |
The President is the Tribune of the
whole people, lie represents the whole
people, and he is doing his whole duty
faithfully and constitutionally. Do is
laboring to restore peace and harmony
to the country, and to maintain the
Government, as we ourselves contend
ed we had left it when the war ended.
We hold that the Government has
preserved Y--that it needed no politic
al applied to it.—that

under them, and put the
machinery in motion, just as it was be
fore the war, or else if that were not so,
then indeed the war was a failure, then
indeed the rebellion was a success.
If the rebels succeeded in destroying
the government of the States, the re
bellion was a success, and the war was
a failure, and cverv man here ought to
have voted for the Chicago platform.
Now, I do not believe ;t is the inten
tion of the people of this country—the
masses who arc following the lead of
these fiery men—to engage in any such
unholy work as attempting to take
possession of the Government. ! know
that distinguished „YI nssaeh usetts Gener
ali, Benjamin F. Butler, [laughter,]
says he is going to march from Massa
chusetts to Washington with his milita.
Well, now,- be didn’t hurt anybody
during the war, and I have no idea that
he will hurt anybody now. [Laughter.]
If he marches, and there is any fight
ing going on, I will warrant you he
will march in the rear of his column.
[Laughter.] 1 have sc arched that gentle
man’s military record in vain ' find a
place where holed a column, lie never
did lead it any where. Perhaps be
thinks he didn’t make any reputation
in the last war, it is necessary for him
to get up another one, in order to re
deem himself. [Laughter. [ No doubt
General Butler had a good many fierce
people to deal with during the war; no
doubt ho was provoked a good deal
during his administration at New Or
leans, and goaded to say a great many
things that do not look well on paper.
I do not like to comment on anything
done by a Union General, but I am
bound to say how that, throughout the
war, that General was remarkable only
for his severity to women and children.
[Cries of “Spoons.”] lie was very
fierce to defenseless people. That re
quired no courage. People who were
within our lines, and whose protect- rs
were gone—lie was very harsh to them.
It is true their protectors had no right
to go, and they deserved, perhaps, all
they got, hut no brave man would take
an advantage of that kind against
women and children; and Gen. Butler is
the only man that ever did it. I under
stand lie complimented me in his speech
to-day. He says ho approves some
things that I said. lie approves of my
proposition to give the negroes the
ballot, who had fought, as well ns I had.
Well, I can’t return the compliment
about the fighting, for every negro that
I saw in the army fought better than
Butler did. [Cheers] 1 was willing to
aid negroes then, but 1 have never seen
the time in my life when I prefer a real
negro to a white man, for anything.—
[Applause.] I have never seen the
time that I would have voted to give
the negro S3OO bounty and the white
man only SIOO.
