Some abolitionist. who has been making
pilgrimage to Charleston, has sent home,
for the use and inspection of the brethren
in Boston and elsewhere in Yankeeland,
the sign which formerly stood over the
negro traders headquarters in the former
city. 1t consists OF four large giIdcd let

"MART.' We have frequently seen that
sign, but cannot see what there is in it to

Just before the adjournment OF the
Confederate Congress, President Davis, in
a message of great ability and clcarness,
calls Its attention to the condition Of the
Confederacy, which he frankly declares to
be dangerous ard perplexing. In pub
fishing the message IN full, the Yew York
News remarks:
False bulletins are the offshoots Of des-
potism. Popular liberty is predicated on
the sappositior Of popular intelligence,
which becomes outragcs by falsehood or
chicane. The blndfoldine Of the system
which hides from the people all facts. save
only those which an insolent secretary or
an indignant provost marshal thinks suit
cd TO the popular sight, is an emphatic de-
NAL Of the theory underlying free institu-
tions. Mr.. Davis on the other hand,
presents the world, in his late message to
the Confederate Congress, with a noble
tribute t. the principles of selfgovernnaent
when. under circumstances trying that
principle most severely, he declares, with
the view of rousing his country into Wig
orous action, that her position is one Of
danger A grandeur worthy of a great
occasion, worthy of an age of heroic virtue,
breathcs from every word of the sentences
in which, while armies thunder on the
approaches to their capital Mr.. Davis
tells his fellow-citizens, with an unques-
tioning trust in their intelligence, their
courage, that ''onr country is now envi-
roned with perils, which it is our duty
calmly to contemplate"
The frankness with which Mr. Davis
tells the southern people OF their danger
Is not more honorable to him than is the
constancy of spirit with which he tells
them to grid up their loins for battle
Though he says that federal successes
''have had the effct of encouraging our
foes, and dispiritiDg many of our own
people" though, he says ''the capital of
the confederate states is low Threatened
aud is in greater danger than it has been
heretoiors during The war," he does so

capacity for sound judgment in the case,
IS better informed than any one else as to
its actual events. The best informed and
most competent opinion on the subject
pronounces, we may thus conclude, its
profound confidence in the ability of the
south to maintain her independence.

Most men are not so dead tomoral prin-
ciples but what they feel a spontaneous
glow of admiration for the man who does
right because it is right, no matter if he
does make less money by it. Some few
men say lie was fool or lunatic not to
make the most of his advantages. right or
wrong, but the heart of many is loyal to
rectitudc We look aud admire, and
praise. We cannot help it. He Nho in
a selfish, covetous age, when all men are
fighting and scrambling for money, stands
up strong in his integrity, and modcstly
does the thing-not that is legal, not that
is expected, not that is customary, not
that is as others DO, OF as many preach,
but does the thing which is right,-such
a man is worthy of all imitation. If the
heavenly minded are few in the world
are not the righteous few likewise y
neral character that is genuine is seen as
rarely as Diogones, man, when hunted for
with a lantern at noon day.

NEW ORLEANS.
How things Are.

4 conversation with gentleman who
recently revisited New Orleans, has given
us more perfect conception Of the Pc
culiar advantages of running government
upon ''high moral ideas" than we ever
had before. The friends of the last ruler
are engaged in opposing those of the for
mer, and the surest passport to the favor
of the former is cnmity to the latter. -
Slavery is believed by all to be dead, and
the negro race to be fast following the
Indian race to the tomb. AS it seems to
be the mania Of those in charge of the
negro to make amends for MS former
inieriority to the white man by superb
ority which shall balance the account. the
black is beginning to believe that the
paradise of all pay and no work is dawniny
upon him. No one finds any profit in
working captured plantations; in fact, no
man with the old American horror of be-
ing meddled with BY officials would hire a
black man at all As for any union sep-
tlment, there is about as much as there is
Of Russian sentiment in Poland.
The northern men who 90 down there
to make money out of the remnants OF
southern property are looked upon as a
man would be here who stole ring from
a corpse. The presence of large army
makes, Of course. great deal Of business
but outside Of that there i. little doing.
Starvation or perjury, hypocrisy or de-
pcrtation, are the alternatives presented
TO the Inhabitants. Estimates vary of the
number of negroes buried in New Orleans
within the last two years. from sixty to
two hundred thousand This is :, eoodly
picture. and must delight any man with
high moral ideas. Il New York paper.

1t is roinarkaLle fact that the career
OF four Of the most renowned characters
that ever lived, closed with some violent
OF mourniul death.
Alexander, after having climted tho
dizzy nights Of his ambition, and with
temples bound with ehaplets dipped in the
blood of countless nations, locked down
upon conquered world. and wept that
there was not another one for him to con-
quer, SCI 4 city ON fire, and died in
scene Of debauch
hannibal, after having, to the astonish-
ment and CONSERVATION of Rome passe
the Alps; after having put to flight the
ar MES Of the mistress Of the world, and
stripped three bushels OF gold rings. FROM
the fingers OF her slaughtered knights. and
made her very foundation quake-fed
from his country being hated by those
who once cxultingly united his name to
that OF our God and called him Hannibal

his own hands, unlamented and unwept,

Caesar, after having conquered eight

blood of one million OF his foes; after hav-
ing pursued to death the only rival he
had on earth, was miserably assassinated
10y those he considered his nearcs; friends
aud IN that very place the attainment Of
which had been his greatest ambition.
Bonaparte, whose mandate kings and
emperors obeyed; after ,having filled the
earth with terror of his name, deluged it
with tears and blood, and clothed the
world with saccloth, closed his DAYS in
lonely Punishment, almost literally exiled
from the world, yet where he could some =
times see his country's banner waving
over the deep, but which could not or
woulo not bring him aid
Thus four men, who, from the peculiar
situation of their portraits, seemed to
stand rs the representatives of all those
whom the world called great-those four
who, each in turn: made the earth trem-
bic to Its very center by their simple tread
seyerally-one 10y intoxication, or as some
suppose, by poison mingled in his wine;
one suicide; one murdered by his friends;
and one in lonely exile.

Remember in all things, chat if you do
not begin you will never come to an end.
The first seed in the ground, the first shil-

tant things; then make n beginning, and
therby hope, promis, pledge, an AS
surance that are in earnest Wi in what you
have undertaken. How many apoor, idle,

pored if, instead of putting off his resolu-
tions Of industry and amendment he had
only made a beginning.

When the opponents of the democratic
party get unlimited control of the state,
they commence at once to get her III debt

after the old fashion. They are piling up

From the Richmond Enquirer March %.
The appearance of the battalion Of col
orod troops on the square yesterday after
noon attracted thousands of our citizens
to the spot, all eager to catch glimpse
of the sable soldiers. The bearing of the
negroes elected, universal commendation
While on the square they went through
the manual of arms in a manner which
would have done credit TO veteran soldiers,
while evolutions Of line were executed
with promptness and percision. As
recognition of their promptness in form
ing the first battalion of colored troops in
the confederacy, it is suggested to the
ladies of Richmond the propriety of pre-
senting the baiiilion with an appropriate
banner.
