LET US ENCoURGE HARMONY,

timore on Tuesday last has set an ex-a
ample and passed resolutions that all
should follow. They express JOY that
"the avenues of peace, unity and national
prosperity" were again opened up. and
it was urged that all true Union men
should use their utmost endeavors to
promote harmony AMI good will among
their fellow men" and seek 'to harmon.
ize and unite the common feelings of the
Masses" so as to prevent future divi-
sion. The words of President Lincoln,
"With malice toward pone and charity
for ALL" were endorsed, and in the final
resolution merchants of the South are in.
vited to renew "their former business
relations with our people," SO that "the
bitterness and rancor of sectional feeling"
may be done away with. All this is
most timely, exhibits the best temper,
and if it becomes the prevalent policy
throughout the land, will remove the
chiefest obstacles in the path Of ''recon>
struction." ......-
The country, just now, is in need of
quiet The people are tired of excite
ment and strife, they want to compose
the jaring elements of society they de-
sire the cessation of petty feuds, and the
restoration of peace and harmony
Above all else they are tired of sensation
newspapers, and rabid, fauatical, sensa-
ton writers !; that class of penny-a-Iiners
who fatten on the strife and discord, that
it is their interests to continue, between
the North and the South, and who are
now among the greatest obstacles to that
good feeling and physical prosperity"
which Genl. Sherman, in a recent speech,
told the people, were of more Importance
than political issues" Let the hundreds
of Northern correspondents who ere now
scattered throughout the South, either re-
turn to their homes, if they have any, or
let them stop their mendacious and des-
torted paragraphs, and help in the good
work of restoration and union. It is the
duty of ell men, to do all in their power
toward the nations prosperity, and those
men who, for the sake of pay, write sem
sation paragraphs about the South, are
not friends to the Union nor. are they in
favor Of her return to prosperity but
they are the Judases of the age, who are
selling their country for greenbacks.
TYPOGRAPHiOAL Errors.
If there is any one thing more annoy
ing than another, to an editor in con-
Quoting his operations, it is the appear.
ance of his paper from day to day filled
with typographical errors. Under ordi-
nary circumstances we would be unwil-
ling to tolerate the appearance of such a
large number in our paper. But We are
80 situated at present as almost 10 pre-
clude the possibility of remedying the
defect. The building we are Temporal
rily occupying has had no gas as yet in
troduced into it; and we are forced to
make use of the next best expedient offer
ing, which is kerosene lamps. Those
familiar with this light will readily &C.
knowledge its frail Illuminating quality
when subject to strong pufs OF wind.
Now, it so happens that the war--or
mschief-or some other evil---has made
sad havoc with the window panes in the
building; and when we get about the
strongest light on We can in the night,
we find the puffs Of wind, which are so
readily admitted, reduces it down some
what below that yielded by the old fash.
loned "two cent dips" With this miser-
able light our compositors have to do the
best they can in the way of correcting
the proofs Of what matter they have set
up during the day, preparatory to being
emptied into the form to 60 to press
"PAY A. YOU CO."
