Sri-Hfeklg JUptMuan. Gfa.-., \j. w. HANCOCK, Editor and Proprietor^ Thursday, Get 11, 1866^ 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 - h a ;'e 11 r \ 1 • >■: gpgffijgyfW * 'i; | to 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.
