LET Us BE MODERATE.

As is natural, the news of the +Hournful
tragedy at Washington aroused in every
manly heart feelings of the deepest indigna-
ton against the perpetrators and all those
who are suspected of sympathy with the
'horrid deed. Men of ordinary moderation
and prudence who are not easily induced
Ito make rash expressions, fairly gave them
selves up to their Incorporate feelings, and
.were almost ready to doubt the goodness of
IAN overruling Providence.
This is clearly not right. The utmost
moderation is demanded from every man
who does not want to see New Orleans
Ia scene of fire and blood. A small
spark at this moment would suffice to
'kindle a fire that might envelop the
.city. It is proper that men of all parties
control their feelings, and above all, refrain
from taking the law in their own hands.
The intense excitement will pass away in a
few days; the poignancy of feeling arising
from our great national af1iction will be snc-
.ceeded by more subdued regret and pop
Iular commotion may be averted. 1t is the
duty of man to act the part of man, and
not allow his excitable nature to get the bet
ter of his judgment.
There is really no occasion for any
extensive measures Of revenge here or
elsewhere. The sympathizers of the vile
sassassins, so far as our observation goes,
|are confined to a few fanatics, who
are entirely unworthy of the name of men,
and are not rated as rational beings. If
they deserve punishment, there is way to
bring them to it by the approved mode of
public justice We would again call attention
Ito the 81 cgestions contained in the commu-
Inication in another place, addressed "To
Southern Men" calling upon them to meet
and give a public and earnest expression of
their adherence of a deed that must shock
the feelings of the civilized world. 1t is
due to the high character of our friends that
some action of the kind proposed be taken.

THE DECLINE OF NASSAU.

Since the capture of Wilmington and
charleston, we learn that the mushroom ac1
ltivity that prevailed in Nassau in conse
'quence of the blockade-running business,
had wholly subsided, and that everybody
was selling out at auction and making pre-
sparations to leave. This place, though small
and insignificant, has acquired sonae noto
preference for everything favorable to the
1secessionists. The Old well established
houses of New York and Boston, who had
branches at Nassau, were not only neglected,
s but their representatives resident there were
sometimes grossly insulted by the preference
shown to the transitory operators in the
confederate contrahand trade. Of all the
places with which the United States had
aprofessedly friendly relations, Nassau was
J the most unanimous in its hate for US, and
sadmiration for the rebels. The present gen1
Grafton has bequeathed to their successors
Ia legacy Of ill-feeling that will probably
cause them to grovel in penury and dull
times for many years. No American mer-
] achant can remember the past course of those
Arebel sympathizers, without feeling of
5iustihable resentment for the gratuitous
manner in which they at all times expressed
&their hate of everything belonging to the
Union. Their conduct was at times almost
sinsuferable, and would no doubt have been

1.-THE means of procuring their port visit
from one of our men-of-war but from the
protection they might have been expected
Ito receive from the government that owns
them. They, however, like many other
|evil-disposed persons have had their brief
course of money making and apparent pros
|perity. The reaction has come and dearly
will they have to pay for their short season
|of triumph. 1t is considered doubtful
whether anything will be saFed out of the
Immense fortunes some of them made out
|of their rebel friends, as they are reported
Ito have spent their money with lavish
hand. They all believed the war would last
ten or fifteen years, and did everything in
their power to keep the rebel courage up to
the fighting point. Stagnation and decay
will soon succeed where so lately everything
was life and bustle. The immigrants will
|emigrate and the old business of now and
then wrecking d vessel, or sending off a
cargo or so of fruit will be resumed, when
Nassau will resume her former insignii-
|cance and normal poverty.

THE PAST AND PRESENT.
SOMETHING FOR THE WEST AND SOUTI
WEST TO REFLECT ON.

The age of reason is dawning, and the
dark clouds of anarchy and strife are break
ing and fast passing away, to give place to
the star of Peace. Then the many indus
trial pursuits so long neglected will be re-
vived, and we will be again a united and
prosperous people.
When we review the past in all its terrible
deformities, and note the destruction of life
and property that this unholy war has en-
tailed upon a people that once were the
pride and glory of the earth, we cannot but
feel the wisdom of that divine hand that mas
|carried our glorious flag triumphantly
through the greatest struggle the earth ever
witnessed which has practically demon
strated that which will in future be an
axiom-a free government is the noblest
thing on earth and free people are fully
adequate to meet any emergency, and tri
sumphantly sustain the honor and integrity
Of their national flag Nobly have the peo-
pie done their duty through the trying
events of the past four years, as many hard
fought battle will testify.
Our sister States of the West may well be
proud of her noble sons. for they have
proved to all the world they are always
ready to leave the plow in the furrow to fly
to the defence Of their national honor and
there native land. They now return to the
more genial occupation Of tillers Of the soil
and long may they enjoy its sweets, undis
turbed by wars alafms.
