PRACTICAL AMALGAMATIoN.-The new
teachings of the Abolitionsits that ne
gro is the equal of the white man, is hav~
ing rather practical effect in the lower
end of the country. In one of these
townships the population has been increas-
ed by the birth oftwo fine healthy mulat-
to children A certain farmer. said to be
extremely ''loyal," some months ago
employed two servants, white girl and
black man. They were taught the doc
trinc of equality, obliged to eat at the
same table, and were otherwise treated as
sequal before the law" The consequence
was an accident" happened, and the
white irlbecamc the mother of a bounc-
inc young "American citizen of African
descent" The father and mother were
sent away, and another brace of servants
was obtained. This time the man was
white, and the cir! was black. Things
moved on in the old way, and under the
same doctrine of equality of the races, the
same accident repeated itself in a few
months, and another member was added
to the household ofthe "loyar' farmer of
molasses and water completion. What
else can be expected under the present
of the forum and pulpit ? The
loyal farmer ought to be made to support
both babies. es.-Doylestown (Pa.) Demo

his house he saw the Quaker's wife, who
in reply to the inquiry whether her hus-

and her husband would speedily see him.
The officer waited patiently for some time
when the fair Quakeress coming into the

Petersburg.


A newspaper CORES spondent writes as
follows with reference to the above named
city: The ancient Cockade city has be-
come historic through the incessant and
terrific bombardment it has sustained du-
ring the presence of Lieut.. Gen. Grants
forces-a period of nearly year. Hardly
Il house in the lower portion of the city
has escaped injury, and there are not a
few bat have ''daylight let clean through" "
Yet these things are scenes of the past,
and since the advent of our army Peters
burg is entirely altered Business has
revived with an astonishing rapidity, and
stores are as hard to obtain here as they
are in Richmond But it must not be
supposed that this sudden enterprise is Of
southern origin. With the best intention
in the world, the natives could not do any
business. from the fact of their being too
poor-havinS lost almost c,ery thing
when the confederacy collapsed, their all
being invested, pledged and torn from
them by despotic, grasping, and unscru-
pulous administration. The great major
ity of the business men now here are
ycnturesome northern men, who came
here to make their fortune and supply
the want Of the populace. The fact,
however, of money being scarce and land
having produced nothing for few years
past, thus leaving the planters almost
penniless, contracts trade great deal,
and all the money that is taken cones
either from our troops or from the inner
most rccesses of hidden stockings.

CHANGING NAMEs-STATE NOTICES.

CHANGING NAMEs-STATE NOTICES
The Richmond Wig, whose motto is the
ancient one of the Virginia coat of arms,
approved by Patrick Henry and his COM
patriots, Sic sempcr tyrannis," has
dropped it at the demand of the Provost
Marshal, Gen. Patrick. So it seems it is
in the province ofprovost marshals to an
nul the motto of State In this case
the offence consisted in the fact that the
motto named had been adopted by the
miserable assassin-whose deeds, too, it
may be added, is condemned by no section
more earnestly than by the people of Vir~
ginia. Here is a change that will be.
perhaps, more generally sanctioned
The name of the post Office at Surratts S
Prince Georges County, Maryland, has
been changed by order of the Postmaster
general to "Robyston," after the present
postmaster. The proposition of the Phil
adelphia Press that Edwin Booth Ga man,
by-thc-way, who voted for Abraham Lin
coln) should not be permitted to appear
on the stage. except under change of
name, O. is followed by proposition that
the name shall be consigned to oblivion
that no pamphleteer or preacher, historian
or journalist should utter it. similar ex.
hibitions of mcasureless folly are now
made on every hand. 1t seems to be the
aim of a portion of the pulpit not to be
outdonc by the provost marshals or the
press in these asninc eXhib,tions.- Hart

EXTRAvAGANCE.-Ask your purse

EAIRAN AGANCE.-AS your purse, not
your pride, what you shall buy Let not
desire to excel your neighbor III display
run YOU into lavish expenditure. There
is no foibIe so attractive Cor the time as
extravaganza. People call it liberality
nobleness of spirit, and enlarged views:
they look on with admiration, they do
at brilliant display Of fireworks, but the
fire once spent, then comes the reaction.
Dress is, perhaps, the greatest medium of
extravaSancc. Shakespeare, Fuller, and
many old and standard writer's advise dis
play. and costly attire, but it is very qucs-
tionablc policy in a republic like ours,
where it is sure to provoke envy and de-
traction. This is ore of the means of
those who cxpend so much self-denial and
thought to keep up the show of what they
have not, while one half the same lab9T
expended in restricting themselves to the
hardest realities would be to much better
effect. And yet we would nave no reader
OF ours foster or practice nigardly spirit.
The fact is, it is the same with our ex-
pcnditures as with our enjoyment pleas
urc and diet ought to be in perfect harm
ony; bearing just proportion to each
other, for while immediate pleasure puts
nature into disorder, so also a sparing and
dry way of living dulls the spirit and fac
ulties. And thus. while undue lavishness
tends to derange ones means and leads to
many evils, so likewise mean and parsi-
monious spirit tends to render us blunted
unto all good influences, and shuts us out
from the companionship and regard of our
fellow men.

JOHN RANDoLPH-John Randolph, of
Roanoke. was the strongest leader that
the radicals Of Virginia ever had He
was the warrior who prepared the way for
the formation Of new school of politics
under Mr. Calhoun He was small
dark man, with beardless face, and an in
tcnsely black eye. He was proud of his
descent from Pocahontas, and his Indian
blood was easily discernible. His voice
had a very peculiar ringing quality, which
gave the listner the feeling that the fine
weapon which he used was twisted around
after entering his antagonist. He did
not use the tommahawk, but the finest of
raplcrs. He was remorselcss in his sar-
casms, and was ready to stand by them in
the field. He was not bad hearted, how
ever. In a duel with Henry Clay, he re-
ce;ved Mr.. Clay's fire and then discharged
his own pistol in the air, exclaiming. Il
would not make widow and orphans,
for all Ohio and its tributaries" His
caustic and witty saying were reported
throughout the country like those of DR..
johnson, as when writhing antagonist,
meeting him full on the main avenue at
Washington, said, IL do not give the way
to puppies, 81 do. sir." said Rrndolph,
yielding the path and walking on. Many
assertions have been circulated against
Randolph's personal character, which are
utterly unfounded. They are traceable
in part to the hate he cxcitc1 by his re-
lcntless attacks, but still more to his con-
tempt for the ignorant and faAatieal sects
by which he was surrounded. He has
for many years served the Methodists and
Baptotists Of Virginia, as Voltaire has
elsewhere, TO point their exhoratations,
the allegations being that on his death
bed, when he could speak on longer, he
wrote the word RcmorSc 1t has since
been proved that he simply wrote the
name Of q neighbor-R. f. Morse-whom
he desired to see. Mr.. Randolph was
kind to his slaves while he lived, and lib>
