WHAT EmAHGIpArIoa WILL Do FOR THE SOUTH

The downfall Of slavery will open the road
TO properly for the poor laboring man.
Slavery was huge Unsuitable land eater
Slavery once abolished, the great landed es-
iates, based upon and supported by slave
labor, will go 10 pieces, and tbe pieces viii
fall into he hands Of the poor iaboriug man.
Instead Of the grand pala'iai mansion, sur
rounded with miserable negro cabins, aud in
stead Of the wietched hoveI, inhabited by the
poor white, we shall soon see the ueat white
cottage in the midst of small buJ houTlshing
fields, and The interior OF that cotruge gii be
adorned, not with the bowie-kniie and pistol,
but with the book case and every evidence of
progressive civilization. This will go quickly
as thought, for the Southern people viii not
be left 10 work out thnt deveiopenent alone.
Thousands Of Nortlren men, who but recently
had been roaming over the country with sword
and bayouet and 90 that occasion, bad made
the discovery OF the truth, viii invade it again
with spade and pIow. and machinery and capt.
tai, and knowledge, and a spirit OF progressive
Improvement. These invaders will be the
peaceable neighbors Of the invaded, and each
one will work for the other in working for
himself and will be all one people. Thus the
Southern people will be reorgunizgd, regenera-
ted by the emancipation Of the large majority
also from the rule of powerful few. Then
the acrimony of the rebellion viii be 5Intted
out even 10 the remembrance, he people will
no longer nave time to think of the difference
of an unfortunate past, for they will have to
think OF the problems of busy present and a
hopeful future Carl .Sciur=.

REMARKABLE DETECTION,

Some months ago a drover, named Thomp-
son, wss murdered at West Albany and rob
bed of some thousands of dollars. The day
proceeding the murder q man with a slouched
hat, moustache, &c, was seen with Thompson
and during that same day the same man ap-
preached another drover and accosted him as
follows: "Hav'nt | seen you before some
where? Didn't you tend bar once ?'
The murder remained undetectsd up to a
few days since, when the drover who was thus
accosted by the man in the slOuched hat, was
in the cars going from Albany to Schenectady.
A man with silk hat and clsanly shaved,
said to him. "Hav'nt l seen you somewhere
before ? Didn't you tend bar once ?" The
drover replied, Eyes, you have seen me at
West Albany, and l arrest you as the murder
er of Thompson
The tone, and manner, and the very words
used months before, left 10 doubt of the fact
that although very different in personal appear
ance, this man was he who dogged Thompson,
and circumstances have revealed themselves,
since the arrest, sufficient, it is thought, to
fasten the crime.

HOW TO SEND LETTERS TO PRISONERS AT THE
SOUTH

The following are the rules, frequently pub
lished during the past year and as often for
gotten apparently, for transmitting letters to
friends in Southern prisons. They should be
cut out and preserved:
81. No letter must exceed one page of q
letter sheet, and must relate purely to domes-
tic matters.
y. All letters (including prisoners) must
be sent with five cents postage inclosed if TO
70 to Richmond. and ten cents if beyond.
80. Every letter must be signed by the
writer's name in full, and post office address
al. All letters must be inclosed to the
Commanding General of the Department of
Virginia and North Carolina, Fortress Mon
roe, indorsed, cvia flag of truceO
'5. No money will be forwarded, except to
prisoners Of war.
"6. All letters sent to Fortress Monroe
without strict compliance with these rules.
will be transmitted to the dead letter Office. -"

MONEY.

Money, let US coucede, is not everything,
but it is very great deal. The young phi
losopher may smile at the solemn manner in
which is is referred to by those who show rev.
erenre for little else f; he may make merry
with the serious chsnge that comes over the
CHEEKY and good tempered business man while
he is worshiping at Mammon's shrine; but there
is really something wondrous and almost ter
rible in the power of money, and such as be-
longs to few other things. To have too much
of it, is agreed upon all bands to bo a very
dangerous matter, likely to lead it's possessor
to his eternal ruin. When Garrick showed to
Johnston his villa and his gardens, expecting
to hear them admired, the photographer great
ly disappointed him by replying: All,
David, David, these are the things which make
a death. bed terribIe!" On the other hand, an
empty purse is said on good authority, to be
an equally periIous possession. and indeed has
been entitled by divine of the English church
" the very devil" Finally, even moderate
wealth has been inveighed against that fatal
gift, little competency, which prevents a
man from exerting bis energies, and making
him useless all the days Of his life.
But where Mammon shows himself most
hateful and most strong, is when he is set in
opposition TO human love when he stands
frowning between two fond hearts that would
faiu be one or sits upon the tomb of the
dead, and unlinks the loving hands of the sur
viyors, who now, that they have lost their
common friend, should surely have journeyed
on more closely knit together than ever
What legacy of disappointment, and jealousy,
and hate do men often leave behind them
among those, too, against whom they may
have had no i'll will How often has the
grave of parent been the gnlt which has
sundered brother from brother for ever in this
world How often have tenderness, and fos-
tering care, and the selfsacriice of whole
life, been erased from the conscious heart by
single stroke of the pen 10 a dead mans will !
The deepest affection is dried up, the keenest
gratitude is blunted and confidence and filial
lOve-the very elements which have most hal
lowed the past-are pluczed up in a moment
by the roots, and cast aside forever. The evil
that we do lives after US and the last deed
we d0-the making of our will-may SOW
more i'll than all we have planted in that teem-
ing soil, the human heart. throughout our
lives.

1.-THE OLD WOMAN

Il was tbns few days since, we heard a
STRIPPING of sixteen years designate the mother
who bore him. By coarse husbands we have
heard wives so called occasionally, tho in the
latter case the phases is often used endeariDg-
ly. At all times, as commonly spoken, it jars
upon the ears and shocks the senses. An old
woman is an object of reverence above and
beyond almest all Phrases of humanity. Her
age should be the surest passport to courteous
consideration, the aged mother of grown up
family needs no other certificate Of WORTH
She is a monument OF excellence, approved
and warranted She has fought 50 the good
fight" faithfully, and come off conqueror.-
Upon her venerable face she bears the marks
OF the conflict iu all its furrowed lines. The
most grevous of the ills of lie have been hers,
trials untold and unknown, only TO God and
herself, she has borne necessarily and now in
her old age-her duty done, patiently await
ing her appointed time, she stands, more true
ly beautiful than be who has slain his thous-
ands, and stood triumphant on the proudest
field Of victory. Young man, speak kindly
to your mother and ever courteously Of her.
But little time and you may see her no
more forever! Her eye is dim, her form is
bent and her shadow falls graveyard. Others
may love you when she has, passed away
kind hearted sisters or she whom of all the
world you may choose for partner-she may
love you warmly, passionately children may
love you fondly but never again while time
is yours, shall the love of any woman be to
you as that of your old trembling, weakened
mother has betn through helpless infancy
her throbbing breast was your safe protection
and support-in wayward, testy boyhoOd, she
bore patiently with your thoughtless rudeness
and nursed you through legion of ills and
maladies. Her hand has bathed your brow,
or moistened your psrched lips her eye that
lighted up the darkness of wasting nightly
vigils, watching always in your nightly sleep,
sleepless by your side as none but hers could
watch.
Oh speak not her name lightly, for you
cannot live SO many years as would suffice to
thank her fully. Through reckless and i'm
patient youth she is your COUNSELOR and solace.
To bright manhood she guides your impor-
tant steps, nor even then forsakes or forgets
Speak gently, then, and reverentially of your
mother, and when you too, shall be old, it shall
in some degree tighten the remorse which shall
be yours for your other sins, that never wan
tonly have you outraged the respect due to the
old woman.

UPTO THE STANDARD.

Union men, true patriots, rejoice that Presi-
dent Lncolp's Message is fully up to the anti
Slavery standard on which the people voted
November 9Th, as expressed in the following
resolution by the Baltimore Convention:
Z" ReSofUed, That, as Slavery was the cause,
and now constitutes the strength of this rebel
lion, and as it must be always aud everywhere
hostile to the principles of Republican Gov
ernmeut, justice and the national safety de-
mand its utter and complete extirpation from
the soil OF the Republic and that we uphold
and maintain the acts and proclamations by
which the Government in its own defense, has
aimed the death-hlow at this gigantic evil
We are in favor, furthermore, of such amend
ment to the Constitution, to be made by the
people in conformity with its provisions, as
shall terminate and forever prohibit the exis-
tence of Slavery within the limits of the
Jurisdiction Of the United States

Corn Eusks for Beds.

Do our farmer readers know that the soft
husks OF Indian corn arc the very best native
product for beds? Feathers may be oil well
enough for geese and ducks, of both the barn

mcr can have OF his own production there is
nothing equal to the husks of corn. They are
soft enough for all practical purposes, highly
elastic and free from dust and unwholesome
odors. These desirable qualities, taken in con-
necton with the prime consideration Of cheap
ness aud home production, should lead every
rural household 10 stock their beds with corn
husks.

1t is computed that there are million o.
beggars and vagabonds in France. In re.
cen; work Hugo says there are thirteen hun.
dred thousand peasants cottages that have
but three openings eighteen hundred and
seventeen thousand that have two-the door
and one window and finally, three hundred
and forty-six thousand cabins, with only one
opening-the door. And this in consequence
OF what is called the excise upon doors and
windows. In these poor families, among the
aged women and little children dwelling in
these huts, how abundant is fever and disease
In Asere, in Var, and in the Upper and Low
er Alps, the peasants have not even wheelbar-
rows they carry the manure on their backs
they have no candles, but burn pine knots and
bits of rope soaked in pitch. And the same is
the case all through the upper part OF Dau-
phin. They make bread once in six months,
and bake it with the refuse OF the fields. In
the winter it becomes 80 hard that they cut it
up with an axe, and soak it Tor twenty -four
hours before they can eat it.

A LARGE HOG.-The Lancaster GazeJle oil

We saw, on last Saturday AT the Slaughter
house OF Anderson Il Son, a large hog, raised
by our staunch Union friend Mr.. Jacob Hu-
Der, Of Pleasant. II was n cross Of the Ches-
ter White aud Suffolk breeds, ard weighed
$40 pounds on foot. Since MIR. Huber began
lattening the hog, it has eaten about 10 bush
els of corn, and has gained in weight over 200
pounds. Taking the rate a. which the hog
was sold, 10 cents, this would be over 81 per
bushel for every bushel of corn fed. Mr..
Huber, in speaking Of the high price of pork
says that where it formerly took half dozen
hogs to pay taxes it now iakes but three
Yet men who are growing rich because of
high taxes and high prices, continue to whine
and grumble.
