Too Proud to Work,

Some people are ashamed to work. They
are too proud to be seen carrying market
basket, or helping to wash, or wheeling a
barrow, or putting i'll coal, or digging IN the
garden. They are afraid to let others see
that they work And whenever they must
do anything of this kind they wait until it is
night, or go where nobody can see them, or
they go round the back way. II there are
any boys or girls who take the s. s. Hes
seager, | wish to tell them story of great
man vino was not ashamed to work.
On one occasion, during the Revolutions
ry war, Washington was going around In
disguise, to visit some log forts that were
being built. In the course of his walk, he
met with a company of men who were hard
at work under the command Of corporal.
This petty officer, proud Of his elevation a
bOve the common soldiers. was walking "a
bout, full of the thought of his own i'm
pOrtance and crying out, every now and
then, come, work away boys, but he new
er offered to help them. But Washington,
when he saw that the men had more work
than they could well 90, took off his coat at
once and began to help them saying, Spring
to it, my brave fellows! we are working for
our country: let Us do it with a good will "
In this way he worked with them till they
had finished and then when he was putting
on his coat, he asked the officer why he did
not help the men when he saw that they
h ID more work than they could well do.
Standing up straight with proud look on
his face, the officer replied, Il would have
you know, sir, that an. a corporal, dont

CORRESPONDENCE.
For the Raftsman's Journal.

BURNSIDE, AUG. =, 1S65.-MR. EDITOR:
| have read the Journal OF the 10Th July,
and find on the first page an article headed
Andrew Johnson's Policy l have no
fault to find to it, so far; but | do say, that
the man that penned it ought to be in the
ranks with Bigler and Wallace. When
Christianity was first preached by the Apos-
ties, and their followers, 1t was pure; and
when it got TO be popular, wicked men crept
into the churches, and alas for the conse-
quences. Just so with our Republican gov.
ernment. Many pro-slavery W higs joined
in with us; and many more joined with the
Copperheads and ent into the Southern
army and fought against us to the last of the
present war. There are some OF those old
por-slavery Wings, l find, in this county.
They are jealous They think they ought
to have place in our national councils; but
we have tried them and found them rotten
at the core Il refer to Mr.. Cowan. Sena-
tor from this State This would-be adviser
of johnson and his worthy cabinet, says
great deal about fanatics wanting to cor
rupt' our worthy President. Certainly it
would be hard case if these rebels are dis
go to the polls. He seems to rejoice when
the President speaks of taking care of the
''poor whites That is certainly right. If
any white man is disfranchised on account
of the color of his skin, or his hair, or his
beard, let him have fair chance, by all
means but the author of this piece squints
towards Congress He is afraid of that no
bic set of patriots He is afraid that the
rebel constitutions and congressman will be
rejected, and that there will be no compro-
missing He fears that Congress will not al
low the loyal citizens of the South to be
tied hand and foot, by a set of rebels He
would wish to have clause in their Consti
tutions, like we have in Pennsylvania, to let
no colored man have vote We have ma
ny thousands of colored citizens, well educat-
ed, and who are no disgrace to the pulpit or
the bar, who are disfranchised, while many
thousands of priest ridden Europeans are
led up to the polls, every general election;
but this defender of And rev Johnson pol
icy does not End any fault to this wrong in
our constitution. Mr.. editor of the Jour
nal | would like to know the name and resi-
dence of the man who wrote that piece. He
is an enemy to the Republicans, and of our
National Government. Let poor white
man be heard, as we'll as a rich one. | sus-
pect the man that penned that piece does
not get his living as the Almighty directed
by the sweat of his brow.
Yours respectfully, friend to both white
and black, GEORGE ATCHEsoN.

The Guerilla Chiefs,

That the evil effects of slavery are by no
means restricted to those who are the vic
tins of tyranny, has been proved again and
again by the conduct of the Southern people
in the recent conflict, and is now shown by
the fact that some Of the leading guerilla
captains, who are keeping the border-lands
between Louisiana and Texas In terror by
their lawless deeds, were, before the war,
large plantation holders in Louisiana, and
the masters of large numbers of slaves.
Having sacrificed or lost everything in the
cause of secession, they are now without
home or profession. Feeling contempt
for labor, and despising the laborer, they
have no means of support in the future, and
are utterly destitute of capacity for adapting
themselves to the new order of things.
Perhaps the life of the guerilla, defying law
and living by pillage, more near ly resembles
their old, vicious, and unrestrained life on
their plantations, amid cringing mass of
trembling slaves, whose happiness and life
were at their disposal, that any position in
the new societary arrangements which are
being instituted under the influence of
Northern example and regulations. Too
poor to live, too Ignorant to learn, too proud
to work, these gentleman have only one
profession open to them-theft. Having
long lived on the unrequitted labor of the
negro, it is but one step to wrest their sup
port from their white neighbors.

Exports from France and England.

France exported, during the first four
months of 1865, says the Moniteur du ,Soir,
merchandise to the value of S92, 500, ,000f
being seventy-one millions less than for the
corresponding period of 1864, but in aug
mcntation of tie same months in 1868, 1862
and 1861. The products represent the larg-
est sums in the statement furnished by the
customs returns are-silks, 103 millions !;
wooden goods, I06, and wines sc. The for
eign goods imported show total amount of
1872, l26, ,000f for the first four months of
1865. This is an increase on the correspond
ing periods in the four years last past The
most important sums stand for cotton, l07
millions.
The value of the exports of British goods,
and produce made to the Australian colonies
has considerably increased this year, having
been FL ,S37, ,679 to March 81, as compared
with el ,4S4, ,064 in the corresponding period
of 1864, and FL. .5O7, ,S22 in the correspond
ing period of 1864. The colony which con-
tributed most largely to the increase was
New South Wales. The demand has also
increased this year for British goods from
Western Australia, South Australia, Victo-
ria. Queensland, and Tasmania; in the case
of New Zealand, it declined, although it
was still more considerable than in the first
quarter of 1868.

The Blacks and Whites of the South.

The principal argument urged IN former
times against cmaneipatIng, and now against
giving the suffrage 10, the blacks, is their
inability to take care of themselves. In
evidence of this it has been claimed that
the emancipated negroes Of the South are
now living in dependence upon the gov
ernment, and Copperhead journals are max
ing great hullabaloo over the amount OF
money thus lavishly expended upon a''pack
of lazy, worthless niggers.
What are the facts?
In Beaufort, S. c., in the year 1864,
there were about three thousand whites and
very nearly the same humber of blacks. OF
the blacks, from three to four hundred were
applicants for aid from the government /; of
the whites from twelve to fourteen hundred
or about four times as many.
In Mobile according to the last figures to
which We have access, the census returns of
1860, there were 20,S54 whites and S,404
blacks. During the month of June, 1865,
S,4l6 rations we're issued to the white in
habitants, and 5000 to the blacks. In
other words, three and one-half rations per
month were issued to each white inhabitant,
and less than one ration a month to each
black. And these are only sample cases.
Had the reverse been the case it would
not have been surprising in view of the fact
that the whites own all the land, all the cot
ton, all the food, all the houses, all the mon
ey, while the blacks are. as a class, thrown
by emancipation entirely on their own resour-
ces, owning no land no buildings, no food,
not even the clothes upon their backs. And
yet this newly -emancipated, self-supporting
class prove themselves tour times less de-
pendent than the whites
These are hard facts for the Northern
Copperheads, who reverence the Southern
chivalry as much as they hate the negroes,
to swallow, but they are true, nevertheless.

Stanton and Buchanan.

Ex-Gox. Washburne' Grafton at Portland,
ON the Fourth of July, contains the following /;
And that no example might be wanting
to illustrate the degeneracy of the times
and the perfdy of the public men, who at
such period could alone occupy the high
places of power, it was found that an ad-
ministration of the peoples choice, and rep
resentiug what appeared to be the average
opinion and sentiment of the country had
deliberately set itself to the work, in concert
with open traitors, of betraying and destroy
ing the Government it had been appointed
and sworn to preserve And so well were
its plans laid for the accomplishment of this
fagitious purpose that they could scarcely
have failed, if not to accomplish the end
designed, still to have produced such COM
plications, and given the rebellion such ad
dltlonal advantages, as would have rendered
the preservation of the Union, if possible, a
matter Of vastly greater difficulty and cost
than it has been, had it not been for one of
those fatal blunders, which, under the over
ruling hand of Providence, men engaged in
wicked enterprises are so apt make. We
tremble when we think that the salvation of
the nations prestige and honor, if not of
its life, and of the cause of free government
everywhere, depended upon the accident, as
1t seemed, Of the accession, In the winter of
1861 of Edwin NJ Stanton to the Cabinet of
President Buchanan He made himself at
once the ruling spirit and the directing pow
er of that false but weak Administration
and by his own personal strength, which
was as the strength of ten by his iron
will and his sublime devotion, averted
that monstrous crime, that unutterable dis
grace, and that last calamity-disunion by
consent of the Government itself.

Over Work.

UnWise above man is the man who consid-
ers every hour lost which is not spent in
reading, writing or study, and not more ra-
tional is she who thinks every moment of
her time lost which does not find her sew
ing. We once heard great man advise
that book of some kind be carried in the
pied moment, such was his practice. He
died early and fatuitous. There are women
who after hard day 5 work. will sit and
sew by candle or gas light until their eyes
are almost blinded or until certain pains a
bout the shoulders come on, which are in
supportable, and are only driven to bed by
physical inability to work any longer. The
sleep of the overworkad, like that of those
who do not work at all, is unsatisfying and
unrefreshing, and both alike wake up in
WEAKNESS, sadness and langor with an in
evitable result, both dying prematurely.
Let no one work in pain or weariness When
a man is tired he ought to lie down until he
is fully rested, when with renovated strength
the work will be better done, done the soon
er, and done with self sustained alacrity
The time taken from seven or eight hours
sleep out of each twenty-four, is time
not gained, but the time much more than
lost we can cheat ourselves but we cannot
nature. A certain amount of food is neces-
sary to healthy body, and if less than that
amount be furnished, decay commences
that very hour. 1t is the same with sleep,
and any one who persists in allowing him
self less than nature requires, will only
hasten his rival at the mad house or the
grave. This is especially true OF brainwork.
