There is a great deal of very. idle
talk among men and even women, to
say nothing of negroes, touching their
rights; and vast amounS of vapor-
GUS defamation, and ':wordy s,lspira-
ton of forced breath" is the conse-
quence. The fact is, that most of
these asserted rights, if challenged,
would be found to be no rghtssat all.
There are really only Two sources of
human rights in the world, those which
are awarded by nature anPGod, and
those which are conceded by society.
And neither of these rights are or'cs
be arbitrarily asserted, both depend
ing upon conditions. You have no
rights under the Jaws Of Gods save by
a compliance with the laws OF God.
| SO, too, your rights in society are
held by a like tenare-compliance
with the laws of society. Apply these
rules severally to the various demands
made in society by the host of claim
ants challenging their rights. and YOU
Will discover that not one in twenty
can be admitted You will hear one
say, "Every man has right to his
opinion upon this or any subject !"
What impertinence! Nos&an has a
right to an opinion, on @subject of
which he knows nothing. He has a
right to seek information and counsel;
to plead for wisdom and enlighten-
mont, even as Solomon did; and per-
haRs, in the perversity pf the race, to-
as little profit. When we hear this
perpetual and frequent assertion OF
ones rights, we are reminded of one
of the Smiths, farmer from North
Carolina, hailing from Tar River, and
on his way to Texas, with little
donkey wagon, wife and seven bare
legged children. It was at the time
of Santa Anna's. famous invasion of
Texas The excellent Smith, one of
a family now believed to be extinct,
was met by Judge Somebody, who.
knew him we'll, and asked where he
was going. When told by Smith that
he was on his way to Texas, he ex-
claimed: ''Why, Smith, my poor fell
low, ye% are about to do very foolish
thing. Go back to Tar River and let
Texas alone Do you not know that
Santa Anna has invaded Texas with
more than twenty thousand men.
The sturdy citizen, grasping his long
rifle and letting the butt sink heavily
on the ground, replied ''Then, by oil
the Hokies, III go COR that very reason.

Thursday Morning, Sept. 81. 1865.
Opinion and Feeling Mt tho North.
A correspondent of one of &he
Charleston papers, writing from the
North: describes the feeling, opinion
and sentiment OF the people OF Boston
and elsewhere, towards those of the
South, as by no neeans calculated to
make the parties love each other in
the future any more than in the past.
He says:
II regret to state that the feeling
towards the South, as have observed
it exhibited here, is not what those
%ho desire speedy reconciliation
could wish it to be. The activity of
certain newspapers in collecting and
grouping all facts, reports and i'm
pressions relative to the spirit of the
. South-many of which, it is unneces-
sary to say, are destitute of any color
OR truth-has been the means of a
widespread belief getting q hold upon
the public mind, that the temper of
the Southern people is vicious, dan
gerous, and inclining even to a new
warlike outbreak. The most aston
ishing misapprehension of the conG-
ton OF affairs, and of the feeling of
the people, at the South, prevails
even with those who should be we'll
informed. 1t will take the intimate
and urreserved communication aris-
ing from business intercourse between
the sections to open the eyes of both
peoples to the real feelings of their
neighbors'
What we ourselves hear from re-
burning travellers, describes Phila-
delphia, the City of Brothcrly Love,
as being the most fiery and vipereus
whenever the South is the subject.
Jonathan Broadbrim seems to lose all
his Quakerly, qualities the moment
you say South to him. The South is
his black dog, the very sight or sound
of whom jaundices his eye and temper,
and he who, in old times, was not
willing to fight at all, at once foams
with fury. Tie shopkeepor throws
UP his yard-stick, and brandishes it
right and left, as if playing at quarter
staff: The horse shoe is dropped to
cool on the anvil, while the blacksmith
whirls aloft his sledge-hammer The
surgeon fourishes his scalpel; the
orator his tongue, showing his teeth
wolfishly; and the preacher, forgetting
his pacific functions, pounds his way
through the Holy Scriptures, from
Genesis to Revelations. The people
are growing more and more warlike.
IS ours grow more pacific, and the
South never showed herself more pro-
.vocative than now, with her hands
nanacled, her mouth in the dust, cry
ing out "peccavi, through all the
pipes in her. throat. There has always
been in the world a sort pf courage
which grew infamed in deTee with
the pacific display OF an adversary
Your pleading only makes it more
angry, your pacific entreaty only goads
IT, to greater irritation, and Should
you absolutely fall down or retire be-
fore it, it becomes bold enough to
kick you. Verify, Jonathan Broad
brim should be held over to keep the
peace. If he continues in this savage
temper, andawe continue to be pa
cifc, he will burst off all the buttons
of his inexpressibles.

The indomitable pluck of the At
iantic Telegraph Company almost
inspires us with faith in the ultimate
success of the cable. We have had
no such instance of resolute will since
the days of Christopher Columbus as
that which they are exhibiting. The
company does not seem to have been
at all disheartened by the swapping
Of the cable in mid ocean the other
day, but have commenced manufac-
turing another, and have chartered
the"'Great Eastern for five years,
for the purpose of again and again
testing the practicability of their en-
terprise. Indeed, strange as it may
appear, their last misfortune appears
to have had the effect of intensifyine
the zeal and energy with which they
propose pressing their experiment
next summer.

mp for my rights p -
Nh. EDITOR: In.your paper of Sun.
day last you have, for. the conve-
nience of the public, divided into
chapters, with appropriate headings,
the elaborate and somewhat confused
explanation given in late number Of
the National Aateligenccr, Of the terms
on which the rebel States "a new de-
scfiption of belligerents) are to be re-
admitted into the Union. These
chapters may, We think, be yet fur
ther subdlvided into a few brief and
compendious articles, embracing The
principles and conditions, on the
prompt adoption of which, as we are
told, from this qatssi official source,
the future happiness and very exist
ence of the States, now about to be
arraignM intHe person of their Chief
Magistrate fof high treason, will de-
pend or can atone, be assured. Should
this unfortunate official, who has
rather more 0is in his name than in
character, be found guilty and brought
70 block, (tM approved node of pun
ishment for treason, The said States
must consider themselves as having
been also made short aco1A, with, or
censtructiuely decapitoAed, or cannot, at
any rate, hold up their heads, OF give
themselves any very Aiy1Hani,s for the
future "
CART. 1. The threatened destruction
of slavery, along with the othes rights
Of the States, having he'd to the late
WARRIOR temporary dissolution of
the Union, the shortest.and most OBJ
vious mode of restoring the latter and
establishing peace between the con
tending parties, is at onee to extiHs]e
guish the institution that caused the
dispute, and thus skilfully use ii like
the spear of Telephus, to cure or heal
the wound that it made ~
COMMENT. To take away tie bone
is certainly the shortest way of ending
4 quarrel between dogs; but The dog
to whom the bone originally belonged
cannot reasonably be expected to be
quite as well satisfied with this ar
r0ageaAea as the one who had no right
to it, or quite rs enSoucient on the oc-
casion as the party who deprived him
of it. While the question, however,
was one Of property 9th the slave
holders, and of liberty with their op-
| ponents, it admitted of no other solu-
ton than either dissolution or the
assertion and successful maintenance
of the right Of The strongest.
CART. 2. The Union is sacred
covenant between the States, and must
be maintained and perpetuated, even
against the DEGREES of Fate, ut what
ever cost OF blood and treasure, or of
individual or State freedom"
CART 3. The Union, though origi-
nally formed by the States, was es-
tabished by the people, who by the
theory Of our institutions are the only
legitimate source of power. The
Government is, therefore, q Dopular
