THE RADICAL CRY FOR THE TRI.
AL OF JEFFERSON DAVIS.

TAe New York Herald thus concludes
an article upon the radical cry for the
punishment of Jefferson Davis:
1--WE must take in this case higher ground
shan any people or government has hith-
erto had the moral courage to take. We
must throw aside the ancient fctions, and
deal with facts as facts. We must recog-
nize that men like Davis have had their
grand uses in the life Of nation; that they
make those stands and cause those wars
that purify government and render it i'm
possible for it to become partial and ty-
srannical. Davis represented some mil
lions of men who. believed that they were
oppressed, and who rose with, the spirit of
freemen. Shall we stnltify our history
our immortal declaration-by saying that
the representative of all those mon deserves
death for. having been their representative?
Where does government originated With
the people-we declare BY every fact of
our history. And with how many people
If not with eight millions We agree with
the radical members that Congress should
take up the case OF Davis, but we believe
it should take It up only to set him al

EDUCATION AID EUCoEss.-It is solemn
fact that bat few men have arrived at
great eminense but such as have been
we'll educated. This every one who reads
the lives of grea. men will learn for him
self; and there is another lesson which
be should learn at the same time, which
is-that education helps men to what ever
they have to do, much better than they
could do without it.. The mind, the hand.
the eye, must be educated that thoy may
assist each ether. A we'll. trained mind
will guide Alright the Judgment which
must be formed through the medium of
the eye. The eye controls the action of
the hand in all that it does, in the accom-
plishment Of anything that pertains to art
or science -.
+. The mind drinks in its knowledge
through the eyes, and kDouledge is placed
before them by the hands, The mechan-
ic who accomplishes the greatest end is
the one whose well stored mind enables
him to grasp the means through which
his object is attained. Education, with q
mind and heart in the work, makes d, an

ciuslon, Mr.. johnson spoke as follows.
whilst the most impressive silence was
preserved:

THE LABOR QUESTION.

Several weeks ago We made favorable
mention Of a plan on foot, in Monroe
county, to arrange system fer the mutual
pr ,tection of the contract rights cf plant
. and freed negro agricultural la5orers.
We briefly outlined the plan of an Agri-
cultural Association to be formed in that
county, the object Of which was TO bring
public opinion to bear in the direction
contemplated, and to create a tribunal to
do Justice betweea employer and employee.
We are happy to state that the scheme
contemplated has been perfected, and that
it is working with the happiest results in
that county. An Association, now en-
hracing over three hundred OF the leading
planters and land owners Of the county,
has been formed, its officers elected, Ind
its Constitution adopted, We cs.nno: do
better public service than to extend ,hs
influence of this wholesome example, and
we, therefore, publish tie .donroe Con-
ssntion in full and suggest TO our country
readers to preserve it for strdy and ,nl.ta-
ton. The adjoining county Ct Co1ecah
has taken up the subject, and on Saturday
last an Association was organized t. ere
under the Presidency OF Mr. 7. III. Rae bs.
A useful and most practical .esture i'll
the systeme is that it unitcs the Freed
mans Bureau in cooperation aud syn,apa-
thy, with the efforts Of the Planters to es-
tablish method and order out OF the con-
fusion in the labor system. Ih.s is the
master element in the whole scheme Its
political OBJECT must be highly soothing,
for it is bound to hush even howls Of Rad
icaliem. It removes the obstacle Of clash
ing between the Freeiman's Bureau and
the planters, and puts them to work har-

and it has the most important effect OF
giving confidence to the negro, that jus
tlce will be done to him, and tlsas he has
approved by the Freedlnan's Bureau, to
whom he can appeal in case OF viola
ton of his contract. ex
We hope to see the attention Of plan

agement of the disorganized labor which
lies in huge and shapeless macs. in our
midst, is the great domestic question OF
the South. While Mr.. johnson and the
Radicals are discussing what are to be orr
National relations, it is for us 70 attend
to those affairs that are of peculiarly
home character--repairing the waste Of
war-recovering our strength Of resource
In the power Of wealth, as well as Of bone
and muscle, and ,ae,sve too, that we may
be ready to take our part in the fight for
freedom, when the time arrives that we
may be permitted to enter the lists. That
battle, it needs no prophets tongue to
tell, is to come. We fight It next time,
in The Unaon, and we shall have allies on

on the splendid achievements and the ex-
alted character of stonew all Jackson !; and
all America will, ono of these days, claim
the honor of being the country of this
great captain and simple hearted christian
hero. Little will the people of after-times
reckon whether he flashed his stainless
sword in defence Of his native State and
her endangered homes and teinples-in
defence of the weak against sthe strong
or whether he fought for the stars and
stripes of the imperial Union They will
only remember that in all his grand career
he comported himself as became the hero
lc leader of a Christian army; that his
death overwhelmed his countrvmen with
anxious sorrow, and that Virginia and all
the States Of the South mourn and vener-
ate him as the worthiest and dearest, and
the most glorious of those who fell in the
defence OF their soil against the resistless
armies of the Union. Little does the Eng
llshman of to-day care ON which side
Cromwell fought, and on which Rupert.
They are proud alike of the stern and grim
old warrior who fought against his king,
and sl.ded his rebellion with the bright
tlnts of success, and of the gallant and gay
cavalier who was ever loyal to the crown
and ready to die for his king. And so all
Americans will one Of these days be proud
OF the fame of Stonewall Jackson, and will
enroll his name on the proud list of Alneri-
can heroes and soldiers:
