and torment. and death. to drive from
their shores more noble enemy Emu
late their example, or claim not to inherii
their names and lineage!
It is evidently not the viii of Divine
Providence that the people of the Confed
crate States should attain the blessings oil
independence and ofestabished, regulated
liberty, without such lessons as will teach
us their value and prepare US to guard
and cherish them in future: That which
costs US nothing we lightly esteem. What
we gain without sacrifice and suffering,
we love but little and lose with no regret.
1t viii therefore. no doubt, prove bles-
sing and a benefit that the present war
has Its reyerses. But for the dear cost
at which we purchase our rights and lib
critics, the final success would be our ruin.
1t is our clear conviction that the South
ern people could not bear, with safety to
their moral and their religious interests.
the prosperity and earthly glory which
that success, without calamity. suffering,
and sacrifice would have brought them.
Let US find, therefore. in disaster ard de-
feat, this comfort and encouragement.
Let us learn also, lessons of humility,
of dependence alone on the help of God,
of the sin and danger of self-conf dence
and vain glory. We have often warned
our readers to beware of relying too much
on the valor and skill of our soldiers and
their leaders, and of Boosting over their
repeated victories. Our past successes
have unquestionably inflated to an inor-
dinate degree our vanity and pride. We
had come to think it a matter of course
that our troops must be victorious in every
contest, under whatever circumstances.
We are forgetting the "woe" pro-
nounced on him "who putteth his trust
in man." Let US remember that " God
alone is great. He is our help and all
our hope. IF we forget that. we are ruin
ed. For 'pride goeth before destruction,
and a naughty spirit before fall" Let
us all, but the people of South Carolina
especially, bow in humility and selfabase-
ment before the Almighty. Let Us com
nit our cause into His hands, and by re-
pentance for our sins and earnest prayers
for His help, saUe oar country.

Gently were peopled with a happy and
contented race. And is there nothing
poetical or romantic in all this? Is it be-
cause our brethren beyond the seas are
for the most part men of the same race

no thrill, their sufferings bring no tears?
Had the same spectacle of constaney been
exhibited by Poles and Hungarians-had
some exotic race, some tribe of Hindoos,

Islanders been the heroes of such strife,
how loud had been the voice of sympathy
from this generous country! what fervid

nets, what appeals from the platform.
what passionate emotions in the closet
would then have pleaded the cause OF the
patriot and the oppressed!

Encouraging Words.

Upon the recent invasion of South Car
DINA by the Lincoln army and their sue
cess at Port Royal, the following excel
lent and suggestive remarks were made
by the editor of the Columbia, Is. c.
Southern Presbyterian. Applicable as they
are at this moment, we commend them to
the consideration of our readers:
All these and other considerations which
might be mentioned make this very I'M
fortunate affair. But what then? In our
FIRST war of liberty the enemy captured
Charleston and Savannah, devastated one
half the State, drove our patriot fathers
to the swamps and mountains, proclaimed
the land subdned, and were at last igno-
miniously defeated and driven from our
shores. The question simply is, what are
we willing to do and TO suffer in behalf OF
our cause? If we are true to ourselves
aud our country, this misfortune, multi
piled thousand times, will not affect the
grand result, nor dishearten for moment
our zeal. and our confidence and our eff
forts. 1t will rather inspire them all, and
beget new energy, and resolution, and
activity in every man of u.s. Now. more
than ever yet, if we are worthy of our
heritage. we will rise and rally to the res
cue. Now, if we do not deserve to be
the vassals of the wretched Lincoln, and
his yet baser hordes, will we offer our all
to defend our home and our affairs from
their polluting touch. Remember. South
erners, remember the desecrated homes
of Hampton and Alexandria! Remember
the gray haired fathers bowed in shame
and agony. Remember outraged matrons
and maidens dishonored! Look upon
your sweet homes, and your dear families,
and your fair fields! Think of the base
and hateful doom which awaits you and
your children if you become the vanquish
ed subjects of these Northern vandals
Think of your patriot sires. who encoun-
tered hunger. and nakedness. and thirst,

He who doubts is damned"

For MAJOR GENERAL.-At the head of our
columns this morning will be found the name
of Co. I. c. Upper a candidate for Major
General of Mississippi Militia.
In times past, when peace reigned through
out our borders, when the Militia law was a
dead letter upon our statute book, and mi
litia trainings were considered mere bur-
lessues, men ran for military Offices simply
to gain the titles aud the distinction, and IL
was of but little consequence whether this
man or that was elected. But now, the
aspect of the case is entirely changed. Now,
a grim-visaged war frowns upon our fair
land on every side; the once peaceful plains
and lovely valleys of our sister States are
overrun by the armies of ruthless and vim
dietive foe, and our own beloved State is
houriy threatened with invasion by the con-
queriag legions of Lincoln. At such a time
as TINS the office of Major General of Militia
becomes one of the highest Importance, and
Should De hiled by man possessing those
steriing Qualities which are requisite to make
Hp the eihcient and successful commander.
In Col. UPPER these qualities are combined
an eminent degree Gifted with strong
and vigorous mind, possessing energy and
perseverance, and courage equal to an ' emer-
gency, he is, of all Others In our minds eve
at this time, the very man for the position of
Major General. vss
We are glad he has yielded to the solicita-
tions of his friends and consented to run. and
cannot doubt that the voters of the State will
elect him BY large majority.
