a SOUTHERN VIEW OF AN IMPORTANT
QUESTION N.-The Bulletin, of Memphis,
Tennessee, makes the following ssnsibls
remarks:
Whatever may have been the advantages
to individuals of African slavery, it would
be difficult to discover its benefaetions to
States and communities. Tennessee, Vir-
ginia, Kentucky, and North Carolina have
contributed ten citizens to Northwestern
States for each one given to slsveholding
communities. The Northwest, aside from
European immigrants, is mainly populated
with citizens from the middle Southern
States. This was not because lands Of the
Gulf States were less productive or the eli.
mate less sslubrious, but because negro in.
dustry came in competition With that Of
whites. Protected by law, the blacks de-
fed competition in their peculiar fields Of
employment. The system of servitude de.
stroyed, white energy comes in fair compe.
tition with that Of the negro and We shall
soon see the result. The South will be
richer than ever before, and no power, less
than the Deity, can prevent the gradual re-
moval of the blacks. Their ultimate des.
tiny is that of the red man.
We do not believe that Southern ne.
groes will share at once the fortunes of
those of the West Indies Southern blacks
are more intelligent; they have been more
intimately assooiated with former masters,
they are more intellectual than blacks of
Hayti and San Domingo; they have been
instructed, everywhere in the South, in the
simple tenets of Christian faith. Many of
them, for these reasons, may become use
full, industrious, and valuable members of
society, bat the great mass Of negroes are
incapable of the task of competitions now
forced upon them, and theirfature fate can
not be mistaken.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1866-02-22

nent investments that it appears in its most
ominous phase, and, so far as the Southern
people are concerned, boarding is not a
practice which is at all imminent
From the foregoing, our readers are as
we'll prepared to judge Of the expediency
or inexpediency of exchanging their lands
and other property, for the existing circula.
ton as we could advise.-Memphis Appeal

own time. A singular e1ertiou, noticed by
Voltaire, who was himself one of the most
remarkable instances of the progress of age
is new studies.
Ogilby, the translator Of Homer and Vir-
gil, was unacquainted with Latin and Greek
till be was past fifty.
Franklin did not fully commence his
philosophical pursuits till be had reached
his fifeieth year. How many among us of
thirty, forty and fifty, who read nothing but
newspapers, for the want of taste for nat
ural philosophy! But they are too old to
learn
Accorso, q great lawyer, being asked why
he began the study of law so late, answered
that indeed he began it late but be should
therefore master it the sooner. This agrees
with our theory, that healthy old age gives
the man the power of accomplishing diff.
icult study in much less time than would
be necessary to one of half his years.
Dryden, in his sixty-eight year, commenc-
ed the translation Of the Ilisd and his most
pleasing productions were written in his old
age.
We could 60 on and cite thousands of ex.
amples Of men who commenced new study
and struck out into an entirely new pursuit,
either for livelihood or amusement, at an
advanced age. But every one familiar with
the biography of distinguished men, will
recollect individual cases enough to con.
vince him that none but the sick and in.
dolent will ever say, lam too old to study.

Selettea gpetrp.

BY MRS. C. 4. BALL.
Fold 1t mp carefully, lay it aside,
Tenderly touch it, look on II with pride
For dear must II be 10 our hearts evermore,
The jacket Of grey, our Ov'd sodier-boy wore.
Can we ever forget when he joined the brave band
Who rose In defence Of our dear Southern land,
And, In his bright YOUTH hurried to the fray,
How proudly he donned 1t, the jackey of grey:
His fond mother blessed him, and looked up above,
Commencing 10 heaven the child Of her love;
What anguish was hers, mortal tongue may not say,
When he passed from sight, In the jacket of grey
But her country had called, and she would repine,
Though costly the sacrifice placed on the shrine;
Her hearts dearest hope on Its altar she lay,
When she sent out her boy, in the jacket Of grey.
Months passed. ana wars thunders rolled over the land
Unsheathed was the sword, and lighted the brand;
We heard in the distance the sounds Of the fray,
And prayed for our boy in the jacket Of grey.
All. vain, all, all vain, prayers and tears
The glad shout Of victory rang In our ears;
But our treasured one on the red battlefield lay,
While the lfeblood oozed out the jacket Of grey.
His young comrades found him. ard tenderiy bore
The cold, lifeless form 10 his home by the shore;
Oh j, dark were our hearts on thar terrible day,
When we saw our dead boy, In the jacket OF grey.
All spotted and tatered and stained now with gore
Was the garment which once he proudly wore;
We bitterly wept, rs we took II away,
And replaced, with Deaths white robes, the jacket o
grey
We laid him To rest in his cold narrow bed,
And graved on the marble we placed o'er his head,
As the proudest tributes sad hearts could pay,
"He never dissraced the jacket of grey"
Then fold It up carefully, lay it aside,
Tenderly touch IL, look on II with pride
For dear must il be to our hearts eveimore,
The jacket of grey our solder-boy wore

who bad just driven up in coach dashed
into the store and clapped irouu upon the

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY NIGHT
BEFORE LAST.
A Millinery Store Broken Omen.
The Thieves Frightened off with
Little Plumber.

Yesterday moruing, about FIVE o'clock,
Mr.. Wise, who keeps q millinery establish
ment on Union street, between Printers
Alley and Cherry streets, went to his place
Of business and found the door open. On
entering, he found goods to the value OF
$1,000, piled up on the counter, ready to be
taken away, while his money drawer was
lying on the floor, having been ransacked,
and completely emptisd.
On examination, be found that the door
had been forced by main strength, and
from all appearances, the thieves had been
working for some time, and had prepared
for a grand haul, when they were doubtless
frightened away, without any booty, except
the contents Of the money drawer, which
fortunately proved no very great prize. He
had taken all his money, except few dol
lars in currency-mostly badly mutilated.
There were also few counterfeit half dol
lars, which had been laid aside, and which
were also carried off.
How the thieves were frightened away,
is unknown; but that they must have been,
is certain. The thieves must have been
both bold and expert; and it will be well
for merchants to be very careful of their
premises, or they may not come of as well
as did Mr.. Wise.
