Alabama and the Union.

The cause of the Union still lives in Alabama.
A large meeting was held in Huntsville, Ala
bama, recently. Speeches were made by Hon.
J. Clemens and Judge Humphreys and resolu-
tons adopted urging Convention for the pur-
nose of adopting some mode for the restoration
of peace and the rights and liberties of the peo-
pie Mr.. Clemens speech is so matteriul and
significant that we give it in full:
s.This is an adjourned meeting from that held
at this place on Saturday last, of which the
country people did not have sufficient notice to
attend. The object of the meeting was explained
at the Saturday meeting. will re-state it for
the benefit of those who were not then present,
The object of the meeting is the restoration of
civil coyernment-to bring US law and order-to
secure peace.
We were hurried into revolution against our
earnest protest. This people were torthe Union
Madison county gave l, 800 majority against Sc
ccssion vet we were carried away without sup
port We had no arms. Buchanan was in the
Presidential chair. The day has at last come,
thank God. when we can say that We take shell
ter under the stars and stripes.
We propose to call upon the Governor OF the
State to convene Convention for The purpose
of resembling the act of secession. How far the
Governor will pay respect to orr action cannot
say. To be candid, think he VIII pay 1t none
In calling upon him we avoid the charge OF pre-
cpitancy and follow the constitutional method.
After that have a right to call upon our IL
herent rights--to act for ourselves. We have
right to assemble in capacity as citizens, and
rc-establish civil government for ourselves.
Falschood. fraud and crime took out of the
Union. They told us that secession was ncces-
sary to save slavery. During the ten years pre-
ccdng the rebellion, the State Of Alabama had
not lost ten slaves a year. We had rebellion,
and the consequence now is that there is not
man in the State of Alabama who can say that
he has the title to Niger. Not all Of US have
title to anything The practical result is
emancipation. Cotton, they said, was king
would secure recognition and independence.
The result is, Confederate money is worth five
cents on the dollar. They said that civil liberty
and State rights would be secure by secession.
The first act of the Confederate Congress de-
priyed the people of the right to select their own
President. Ii man owned twenty negroes lie
was excused from military duty. Ii u man had
ten starving children he not. The man who
owned the negroes could stay at home with his
wealth the man with starving children must
leave them and go to the battlefield. You and
may have some fears of the success of the Con-
fcderacy. Thank God there is prospect
Of success.
Judge Humphreys, one of the ablest men in
the State, equally decided, He declared
that slavery was dead and by the hand of the
South.

MISERABLE CHILDHooD.-In an account of a
Childrcn's Hospital lately opened in Edinburgh,
the author of = John Halifax Gentleman, in
Good Words, gives some curious specimens of
child life in this second half of the 18th century
in " modern Athens This is one of them !:
= Here was boy who had been found lying on
straw in a dark cellar, which had literally moth
ing in it but this one heap Of straw. The parents
were in the habit of going out for the day and
locking up the child there without food or fire or
clothes. He Yves brought in, mere bundle Of
rags, quite paralyzed, and lay for week on one
of the hospital beds without stirring or speak
ing, till they almost thought he was deaf and
dumb. A. last he did mutter out one word and
it was whisky He afterwards tried in his
wretched, faint voice, to begin singing a whisky
song He told the nurse he had hardly tasted
anything but whisky since he was born. Some
how his wretched mother found him out and
came TO see him. Immediately after she left, the
miserable little creature was caught hiding its
wizened face and half-paralyzed hands under
the bedclothes, trying to undo the cork of a
small bottle filed with whisky But the child
recovered, learned to feed on and enjoy other
food than drains, and has left the hospital tor
future of God knows what. Still, the life has
been saved SO far.

THE ISLANDER RErCTEp.-The following ex-
tract is from correspondence published in the
New York World, IA Copperhead paper 1t gives
the lie 10 filthy, abandoned statements recent
ly made through the columns of the Amador

lived prints in this State, concerning the lady
teachers at Beaufort. How contemptibly mean
man must feel after uttering such vile state
ments about ladies, as has the individuals who
edit these papers, to find them fatty contradcted
by authority that he cannot dispute. Here is
the denial
Gross ISLANDER on THE LADIES N BEAUFORT.
Some anonymous .miScreant in this department

character OF the ladies who left the North to

shameful to repeat The ladies who have cnga-

the North, mated with men of their choice
after a brief courtship. The accomplished lady
of one Of our Generals is among those who teach
the contrabands. Two other ladies have been
recently married, and few more are . engaged. -
They are constantly open to surveillance and no
one with truth or honesty can impeach their

GooD ADv1cE.-An Eastern paper gives the
following reasonable and excellent rules for
young men commencing business:
The world estimates men by their success in
life, and by general consent, success is evidence
of superiority.
Never under any circumstances, assume a
responsibility Jon avoid consistently with
your duty to yourself and others
Base all your actions upon principle of right
preserve your integrity of character, and in do
ing this never reckon on the cost
Remember that self interest is more likely to
warp your Judgment than all other circumstances
combined therefore, look we'll to your duty,
when your interest is concerned.
Never make money at the expense of your
reputation.
Be neither lavish nor niggardly of the two
avoid the latter A mean man is universally
despised, but public favor is the stepping stone
to preferment therefore generous feelings should
be cultivated.
Say but little-thnk much and do more.
Let your expenses be such as to leave bal
auce in your pocket Ready money is friend
in need
Keep clear of the law for, even if you gain
your case, you are generally a loser.
Avoid borrowing and lending.
Wine drinking and smoking cigars are bai
habits they impair the mind and pocket, and
lead to IA waste of time.
Never relate your misfortune, and never grieve
over what you cannot prevent
