Fourth of March.

Mr.. EDrroR:-I see by the papers that
large preparations are being made all over the
free States, for the celebration of the approach
ing fourth day of March, la consideration of
the glorious victories that have crowned the
efforts of our army. This is all right and
proper, but what shall be the character and
manner of this celebration? Shall it be mere
ly an outpouring CT hilarity and mirth, of
gaiety, of dancing and sensual qualification
OF vain Boosting and exultation that our own
arms have gotten us those great and glorious
victoriesP Orshall it be one betting ration
al, moral and religious peoples donot mean
that we should put on long and dolorous
couutenances and appear sad and gloomy and
desponding-not so by any means; for if any
people under heaven are bound to look cheer
full and joyous and pleasant, it is those whose
trust is in God, and who acknowledge His
providence in all the events OF human life.
All readily admit that our evils brought this
calamity upon us, aud when we sincerely and
truly repent OF, and forsake those evils, the
war will cease.
What wish to suggest is, that whatever
we may do on Tnat day in consideration of the
great and glorious victories we have gained
over our enemies, whether 1t be the firing of
cannon, the ringing f bells, the making of
speeches, the interchange of happy and social
greetings, engaging in the pleasant and health
full amusements of the times, listening to pa
triotic songs; or whatever be done in rational,
consistent manner, and in way calculated to
elevate the national character rather than de-
moralize it.
Let every individual keep constantly in
mind the fact that we are Indebted to high
er power than that of the human intellect for
the victories we have won. Our rulers, our
generals, and our brave soldiers, are merely
instrumental in the hands of Divine Power
through which these great achievements have
been gained. s.
LIFE IN MACON, GA.-"Cabbages, SIS per

ga dsgraceful affair is now going on up
town. A mob of women with the black flag
are marching from store to store on pilag-
ing expedition. The Pelham Cadets are or
de- ed out to dispense them"
The above paragraphs from Macon paper
we suppose, are explanatory of each other
The description is short, but to the point
Often have the rebel leaders threatened to
raise the black flag all over the South, and the
Macon women have commenced the work
IT'S pity that Sherman didn't call at Macon
while on his march; he would have improved
the state of society there. But there is time
enough yet, and soon the Stars and Stripes
will take the place of that black flag.
