extent are being practiced upon the

which can be done SO completely that
the stamps may be used any number Of
times.
"A number of the old planters on the
coast between Charleston and Savannah

their plantations. Having taken the
oath of allegiance they are prepared in
good faith to make contracts with the
freedmen. their former slaves, and carry
out the policy of the government in re-
gard to the cultivation Of the soil.

Breckenridge and his party tell how
they escaped from the U. S. Guhboat when
about starting on their voyage from Florida
to Cuba They escaped by telling out and
out lies, and exhibiting false paroles, and
then turn round and tell in their narrative
how they held religious services before leav-
ing the coast, and upon arriving, and before
they left their boat, of offering up thanks
for their safe arrival. Prayers, lying, for
gerry and deception combined. That may
be good enough religion for some folks, bat
it is very far from the style which due
reverence for God approves---just the easy
kind suited to southern slave drivers.

suffered Enough"


"A Republican paper in Iowa, after pub
lislIing an account of how much the people
of South Carolina have suffered by the war
land that State of course only type 81
the sutlerings of the other late Confederate
States-says, with great humanity, these
people have suffered enough"
Well, this Is fact These people hdre
suffered enough but the suffering can not
be- measured by the losses of negroes and
Confederate securities. The pangs of feel
ing can not be put into any commercial or
treasury account current. The mere wing
worm, as Pope say, may feel pang ~
great as the giant, aud the noble Southern
woman, with her children, whom She loved
with a love passing all understanding,
brought To beggar'y; this part of the suffer
ing can not be reduced TO any arithmetical
rule. 1t Is by no possible process, capable
of being represented by figures,
But, knowing the difficulty, we are glad
that our Western cotcmporary thinks that
there has been suffering enough We men
of the South have borne, and can still bear
a good deal. We are n sort ot.pIilosophers
