pondingly formidable, in any move
ment that might be undertaken in the
present crisis. But with the incoming
of the new Administration, an extra
ordinary change has taken place in
this regard. Since the publication of
the Inaugural, public sentiment has
been rapidly undergoing process of
consolidation. Citizens, rcgardlcs of
past political differences, have been
coming together, and joining hands
upon platform which has for its
plank the Union and the Constitution.
Democrats, Republicans and Ameri-
cans are equally warm and decided in
their determination to support the Ma
tional Government upon the basis of
the policy announced by Mr. Lincoln
"a policy which grows in public fa-
vor the more it is reflected upon. The
concentration of opinions in this re-
gard has no parallel, perhaps, in the
history of the country. Certainly
there is no case on record since the
days of Washington, when people, at
the close of a Presidential campaign,
were 50 willing to lay aside party pref
udices, or so very prompt to rally to
the support of a President, whose
election many Of them most bitterly
opposed.
This movement is significant one !;
and it is altogether the most hopeful
sign that mas appeared in the political
horizon, since the beginning of the
troubles which disturb the peace of
the country, and threaten the exist
cncc of the nation. And it is all the
more important, because it originated
with the people. Professional politl-
ticians have had nothing to do with it.
1t has not been brought about by any
system of working. 1t is above
and Independent of all partizan
schemes. 1t has for its object nothing
that is unworthy, but all that is noble
and patriotic. The great moving
cause is a love for the Union, and a
sincere desire to maintain the Ameri-
can Government. And what could be
more sublime than this spontaneous
union of the people on the side of THEN
country? 1t is gilmore value, looking
to the general good of this great ma
ton, than ten thousand mere partizan
victories and it possesses more o.
promise for the future, than volumes
Of resolves, and hundreds Of volumes
Of paper compromises.
Politicians will do we'll to heed this
manifestation of feeling on the part o
the people The great business il
hand at present is the preservation o
our institutions. While this is bcin!
attended to, let old party names b
laid aside, and let the citizens be al
raycd as they may be for or agains
the Union This is the point upol
which public sentiment is concentra
ting and terrible will be the fate of th'
politician who shall undertake to stem
the popular currcnt.-CI"dnnaH Ga

PUBLIC SENTIMENT.

No outside inhuGce, perhaps, has
contributed 50 largely to aid the Sc
cession movement at the South, as the
indications that have hitherto prevail
ed of a divided public sentiment at
the North Those who have been
leading in the revolution have looked
with confidence. relying upon assu-
RANGES which might reasonably be re-
garded as reliable, for aid and comfort
in the Free States. The sympathy
that has been manifested in this sec.
ton of the country for the revolution
lists, together with the position OF the
Union men in the Border Slave States
with regard to the enforcement OF the
laws, tended to complicatc the troubles
which surround the National Govern,
ment. With a sentiment at the North
divided in proportion to the vote cas'
for and against Mr.. Lincoln, it was
very plain that the moral power of the
Government would be comparatively
weak, and its embarrassment cores

ed by the circulation Of the paragraph
which has been exposed, will probably
be attained, since the antidotc now Of

ever, this explanation shall secure to
me the confidence Of those true heart

better than the spoils and power
which revolution can promise them, |
shall not regard the condemnation of
men who for the past two months
have necessarily denounced me

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Ii you invest money in tools, and
then leave them exposed to the wealth
cr, it is the same as lending money to
a spcndthritt without sccurity-a
dead loss in both cases.
If You invest money i'll books, and
never read them, it is the same as
putting your money into bank, but
never drawing either principal or
interest.
Ii you invest your money in fine
stock, and do not feed and protect
them, and properly care for them, it
is the same as dressing your wife IN
silks to do the kitchen work.
II, you invest your money in choice
fruits, and do not guard them and
give them chance to grow and prove
their value, it is the same as putting
a good hand into field with poor
tools to work with.
If you invest your money III a good
farm. and do not cultivate it we'll, il
is the same AS marrying good wife,
and so abusing and cnslaving her as
to crush her energies and to break
her heart.
If you invest your money in fine
house, and do not so cultivate the mind
and taste, as to adorn it with intcIll-
gencc and refinement, it is as if you
were to wear broadcloth and silk
hat to mill.
If You invest your money in fine
clothes, and do not wear them with
dignity and case, it is as if plow-
man were to sit at . jewellers table
to make and adjust hair springs.
If you invest your money in strong
drink, it is the same as turning hun
CRY hogs into a growing corn-tic!d-
ruin will follow in both cases.
If you invest your money in every
new wonder that flaming circulars
proclaim, it is the same as buying
tickets at lottery Office, where there
are ten blanks to one prize.
If you invest your money in tho
"last novel," it is the same as en-
ploying q tailor's dandy to dig YOU
potatoes.

The Treason of Secretary Thompson.

Secretary Holt publishes an over
whelming expose of the treason OF the
late Secretary, Thompson. The fol-
lowing are the material points
We have here distinct cxultant
avowal on the part of the Hon. Sccrc-
tary, that while yet member OF the
Cabinet, he disclosed to those in open
rebellion against the United States in
formation which he had derived from
his official position, and which he held
under the seals of confidence, that
from the beginning of our history as
a nation, had never been violated.
This step not merely endangered the
highest public interests, but put III
imminent jeopardy the lives Of two
hundred and fifty innocent men, who
had never wronged the Hon. Secretary,
and who in proceeding to Charleston
harbor were simply obeying the law
full command Of their superior officers.
The armed enemies of the government
he was serving, under the solemn
sanctions Of an oath, were, as he de
clarcs, thus put upon their guard, and
the frail vessel that was bearing sue
cor to its friends, received warn
welcome from booming cannon.
1t is well known that a pers!sten

THE BRAVE BOY.

shall never forget lesson which |
| received when quite young lad at
the Academy in b. Among my |
school fellows were lIartly and Jcm-
son. They were somewhat older than |
myself, and to Jcmson | looked up as !
a sort of leader in matters of opinion !
as we'll as of sport. He was not at
all malicious, but he had foolish am
bton of being thought witty, and he
made himself feared by the bad habit
of turning things into ridicnle, and
being ever on the lookout for matters
of which To make fun.
Hartly was a new scholar, and was
little known among the boys. One
morning as we were on the way to
shool, he was driving a cow along the
road to ncighboring field. \ group
of boys, among whom was Jcmson,
met him as he was passing. The op-
portunity was one not to be lost by
| JemSon.
"lIallo,' he exclaimed, "what's the
price of milk? say, Jonathan, what
do you fodder on? What will you
take for the gold on her horns? Boys
if you want to see the latest Paris
style look at those boots"
IIartly, waving his hand to us with
pleasant smile, and driving the COW
to the field, took down the bars of a
rail fence, saw her safely in the cnclo-
sure, and then putting up the bars,
came and entered the school with US.
After school in the afternoon, he let
out the cow and drove her off, no one
knew where. And every day for
weeks he went through the same task.
The boys of b Academy were
nearly all the SONS of wealthy parents,
and some of them, among whom was
Jemson, were ounces enough to look
down upon scholar who had to drive
cow. The sncers of Jcmson were
) accordingly often renewed. He once
: on the plea that he did not like the
odor of a barn, refused to sit next tc

When I Mean to Marry.
BY JOHN q. SANE.

When do ! mean to marry !-Wcll-
lis idle To dispute with fate
But if you choose to hear me tell,
Pray listen while fix the date -
When daughters haste with eager feet,
4 mothrr's daily toll to share;
Can make the puddings which they eat,
And mend the stockings which they wear
When maidcns look upon man
As in himself what they w"uld marry,
And not as army soldiers sean
\ sutlcr or Il cOmmissary;
When gentle ladies who have got
The offer of IL lover hand.
Consent 10 share his earthly lot,
And DO not mean his lot ot land;
When young mechanics are allowed
To find and wed the farmers girls
Who don't expect to hc endowed
With rubies, diamonds and pearls;
When wives, in short. shall freely give
Their hearts and hands To all their spouses
And live rs they were wont to live
Within their sircs' onc-story houses;
Then madam-if I'm not too old
Rejoiccd to quit this lonely life,
I'll brush my beaver, CEASE to scold,
And look about me for il wife

Bl MISS L.. j. ttLh.
Spring with its haImy breezcs,
Aud perfume laden air,
The awakened ScnSes plcases.
With hopes and visions fair.
The lovely birds are singing
On budding shrub and tree;
Joy round creation ringing,
That spring once more we see.
Softly the zcphyrS whisper,
Ger fiowcr-dccked hill and lea,
Bright eyes with gladness glisten,
That rippling rills are free.
The icy hand that bound them,
Rclaxes now his hold,
While warming rays surround them,

Once more they murmur onward,
With glarlnrSs on each wave,
Where youthful lovers wander,
OFT in the slowing eve.
But few Of those whose footsteps,
Thy lovely margin pressed,
Will mark thy happy freedom,
Or lingcr here to rest.
How many hours of mercy
Have marked our onward way,
Since we bchrld thy beauty,
One year AZ" today
Eut will another Scason-
Emblem Of youth and love
Greet our cnrapturcd reason
This side the joys above
As each successive beauty
DiScloScs to our view,
MAY we the path Of duty
unwcaricdly pursue.
Then though We never hail thee
With joy on life rough shore,
Sweet spring thy glowing radiance,
Will cheer us cvcrmorc.
There flowers will bloom forever,
OF bright perennial hue;
Thy glory shincth ever,
Where falls no blight or dew.

back to the cultivation Of the locust
as an ornamental tree, and that is, its
dead limbs, caused by the borers.
THE HORSE-CHESTNCT.
The value of this tree consists main
ly in the beauty of its abundant, pre-
cocious and beautiful foliage and
flowers, qualities which bring it into
great request as an ornamental tree,
and it has been extensively cultivated
for that purpose. The foliage Of this
tree appears very early in the spring,
being very quickly followed by its
flowers, which are a pink-whitc color,
and almost cover the tree, making a
very brilliant appearance.
The ordinary stature of the Amcri-
can horsc-chestnut is ten or twelve
feet, but sometimes it attains a height
of from ten to thirty feet, and twelve
to fifteen inches in diameter. 1t is
easy of cultivation, but Of rather slow
growth, and makes q very pretty ap-
pearancc either singly or i'll groups or
rows.
