The Last Appeal.

Brute force was never victor in the long
run, for at last after all cannon-speech, and
word-speech, the tongue of human thought
pronounces the final verdict on every matter,
from which there is no appeal. Manage as
you may to get your heel on a mans or a
nations breast, and with the roar of musket-
ry, the clash Of steel, and thunder of artillery
deafen the ears of to-day,-if you have not
won the hearts of men, you have gained no
victory. One silent thought, hushed in one
lone bosom, will be the germ of your doom,
that shall grow uneradicable to your utmost
condemnation. The thing which is felt will
get shaped into thought, the thought will
humble and fret against the imprisoned
brain, till some low whisper gives it vent,
and away it will blaze from pent heart to
heart calling the smothered judgment into
words, which soon shall out-lhunder your
cannon-noise, and out-tlash your sabre
CLEANS.
Sword-guarded lies are a mushroom tribe,
and lightning Truth, resting on simple utter
ance, will purge the world of them, once give
it way. 1t will have way at last. Murder
and oppression may clash their chains and
daggers, but what the world THINKS of them
and their doing, will be the verdict of their
fate. A conquered world is no secure con-
quest, where is left one unconquered will,
one stern thought OF protest or d%eiance.
Having thoroughly crushed the physical
energies Of a people, you have not become
v%icters. for the mute resistance of heart and
soul, appealing to universal man for succor,
will change your glory into clinging shame.
The worlds opinion OF you is not pledged 10
your cause, the future has given no promise
of its voice to swell your fame, but e~verlast-
ing Justice will have her due, and in the last
appeal the voice of Humanity concerning
your deeds, shall be the voice of God. Your
sword cannot reach the judgment-seat Of to-
morrow, to awe its condemnation into silence,
or compel its decisions TO a false favor. But
the cry of outraged manhood will pierce, to
eternity, the ears of man and God. The
mowers that do Justice will work, after the
noisy ~wrong-doer is dumb, and defeat his
schemes of force and fraud.
If we have a good cause We shall not so
peril its success as to appeal to violence TO
support il. 1t is easier TO summon a thou
sand truthful allies 10 the %virtuous deed, than
TO hush one whisper Of Just infamy for a y work
of shame. All bayonets and balls and pow
der smoke cannot stab, shatteT, or smother
the growing scorn of a base deed, or beat
down and quench the conquerless renown OF
a GOOD one. 1t were folly to trust so shall
low Meas, as musket balls and daggers, when
the deep eternal truth will echo our appeal.
The basest can stab and shoot, but only wise
and good men can WELD the pure weapons
of thought and love, and none can with
stand these, while any stiff arm can beat back
them.

They had so rapidly progressed from a state
OF absolute servitude and degradation, to that
of a comfortable peasantry, that they had
imbibed some of the vices of wealth and
were becoming covetous. Although their
present condition was only an approximation
towards the condition of the free colored peo-
pie in the United States, yet in regard to d.
ct, clothing, dwellings, all the comforts of
civilized life, there had been a vast improve
ment upon the frightful condition-both mo-
raj and physical-in which emancipation
found them.
At the time Of the emancipation, such was
the mental degradation of the negroes, that
they seemed almost to have lost the power of
thought.
They manifested, however, great enthusi-
asm of gratitude towards God, and towards
the missionaries as instruments of their re-
demption from slavery. They literally came
and laid down their first earnings at the feet
OF the missionaries, with apostolic simplici-
~ Z; and a hundred THOUSAND dollars at least
We're given in this way for the erection of
houses Of worship aud schools. There had,
however, been a reaction Of feeling, as might
have been anticipated. The enthusiasm had
passed away, or had ceased to be an opera
tive MISUNDERSTANDING.

The object of this communicable is TO OBJ
tain your aid and active cooperation, in es-
tablishing, at Washington, a paper which
shall represent Southern views on the sub
ject of SLAvERY-Souihern views Of South
ern rights and interests, growing out Of and
connected with this institution.
We want a paper whose polar star shall be
the sentiment % that danger TO our institutions
can only be averted by iealously watching
our rights under the Constitution; by insist
ing upon the proporlionate influence intended
to be secured TO us by the compromises of
that compact; and, above all, by maintaining,
at all times, and at all hazards, our equality,
full and complete, with whatever other COM
munities we hold connection" We wish a
paper which we can trust, firm and fearless,
which cannot be bribed, %cajoled, fiattered, or
frightened, into furling, for an instant, the
Banner IF Southern Equality.
To effect this, we must render the press
free from party influences, and unite in its
support others besides politicians. We would
therefore desire to engage in the undertaking
men in every way independent, and whose
means and positions are such as to free them
from all temptations of profit or place.
If you concur in our views, please confer
with US, as soon as practicable; and inform
us what amount of money you are willing,
yourself, TO contribute to effect this object,
and how much you think can be raised in
your immediate neighborhood.
Enclosed, you will find a subscription list,
with a heading, setting forth the principles
on which it is proposed TO establish the pa
per. II you approve of it, please obtain such
signatures as you can, and return the list, by
mail, to this place by the 18th of September
next.
Address your communications to Isaac

has consented, until the proposed association
is fully organized, to act as Secretary and

So clearly is the power of naked right dis.
cerned now, that we may safely say that an
appeal to force is a confession of ones wrong,
a virtual avowal that he has not that power,
and therefore calls this baser element TO his
aid.
No magician or CUNNING sorceress ever
sold herself to the devil tor services which
God would give. No government takes the
sword I'LL it doubts of its justice; and /. this
age, to peal the cry of 'our country riqht or
wrong," is a full confession that they know
she is wrong for the v%eriest rascal would
appeal to right as long as it could serve his
purpose.

eXecratlon OF the weak, are all In rebel arms

our army will then reap the %laurels it has
sown, in just infamy. The peace which we
would conquer by a brutal war and a genera

God will not let high-handed wrong reign

American line. and the column continued
To advance nnder severe fire from the Is
Founders. The battalion was instantly
formed in square and held ready to receive
The charge Of cavalry, but when the adj
vancing sqnadrons were within close range,
deadly fire of canister from the lS-pound-
ers dispersed them. A brisk fire Of small
arms was then opened upon the square, by
which one officer, Lieutenant Luther, OF the
Cd artillery, was slightly wounded, but a
well-directed vo!ley from the front of the
square sienced all further firing from The
enemy in this quarter. It was now nearly
dark, and the action was closed on the
right of the American line, the enemy hav-
ing been completely driven back from his
position and toiled in every attempt 10 car
ry his point.
While the above was going forward on
the right and under the eye of General
Tay lor, the enemy had made serious at
tempt against the left of the American line.
Captain Duncan instantly perceived the
movement, and by the bold and brilliant
maneuvring Of his battery, completely re-
pulsed several successive efforts of the en-
envy 10 advance in force upon the left flank.
Supported in succession by the 9Th lnfan-
try and Captain Ker's squadron Of dragons,
he gaIantly held the enemy at bay, and
finally drove him, with immense loss, from
the field. The action here and along the
whole line, continued until dark, when the
enemy retired into the chapparral in the
rear of his position. The American army
encamped on the ground it occupied. Dur
ing the afternoon The train had been moved
forward about half a mile, and was packed
in rear Of the new position.
