that the Senate modified the test oath to

not the fact. The oath was distinctly insis-

Changes of Pursuits.

Everybody is apt to imagine some
body else's occupation easier than his
own-to think his neighbors slot
luckier than his-to be tempted to rob
him of it, perhaps, by supplantation.
This spirit of discomfort is very unfor'
tunate. It is worse. 1t is wicked as
we'll as weak. As such it should be
striven against with hearty and firm
ly.pronounced, "Get thee behind me,

destructive of all that is worthy OF
the name of "success" in the present
business of the entertainer. TO ac-
complish anything, beyond what the
common run of business or profession
al men perform, requires the utmost
concentration of the mind on the mat
ter in hand. There is no room, in the
thoughts, for repinings over the mis-
fortunes of ones lot, or wishes for an
exchange of places with another. In
deed, it might be truthfully predicted
that the indulgers of such wishes would
fail, utterly, in the new sphere, could
they get their wishes.

We had q curiosity to see what re-
turns the county of Baldwin, and the
city of Millcdgeville made in gold
watches. Baldwin county votes about
600. We found from the tax books
that that there were one hundred and
twenty-five gold watches returned and
thirty one valued at from Sloi to $500
One of our citizens received, few
DAYS ago, letter from man in Ohio
telling him that he had his gold watch
taken when in Millcdgeville in 1864
and that if he would send him $50, h
would send his watch to him. Th
name of the owner was on the watch
Unfortunately, the widowed mother o

tors took, as soldiers, their respective
fields = "the final triumph of the Union
arms will be source of pride to every
american, and Of joy to every loper q
liberty"
In writing of the revolution of l776,
they say, "South Carolina, for time'
took an active part in the revolutionary
struggle, but lost courage, and offered
to remain neutral and go with the VIC
torious party, whichever it might be,
when the war should be over"
l will conclude these extracts by
coming nearer home, to the people of
my State. They say of East Tennes-
see: "The people Of this part, like
those of the mountains everywhere,
love liberty. They refused to join the
rebels, and were sorely prosecuted in
consequence"
l have made these extracts in the
hope of moving to action the mind OF
the Southern parent in the discharge of
its duty as critic of tho child's educa-
ton. The war is over. We are ofone
nation. The victor has no right to
taunt or insult the vanquished-not
even the active participant in the late
struggle, and much less his child. We
surrendered upon terms-those terms
were, and are, well understood Obe
dience to law was pledged upon the one
side, and the protection of the law for
person and property on the other.
Upon these terms we surrendered the
sword, and the sword only, and not the
power to others to control our minds,
nor the right to educate our children
We have been, and are, scrupulously
obcying our part of the terms. We
want, and intend to educate our chill
dren, but not at the cost of insult-bet-
ter let them grow up in manly ignorance
than in poisonous culture. We can,
and we must supply the right kind of
books. Liberal minds South and North
can furnish us with mobjectionable
authors; let us patronize them, and ig-
more such creatures as Shaw and Allen.

Hyp0critical Sympathy.

A correspondent from the 'scat OF
war; writing to one Of the city papers,
finds time to upraid the Fenians for
robbing, and abusing and insulting wo.
men and children while on the war
path. But we never heard from this
and similar quarters, any denunciation
ofthe shameful abuses, robberies and
outrages committed upon the Southern
people during the late war by those
Federal commanders who disgraced
both their uniforms and humanity, and
by those soldiers who made the cause
for which they fought the easy excuse
forplunder and every crime in the cal
endar.
Since the war, we have had two or
three examples Of this squeemishness
on the part Of stomachs that we thought
were strong enough to swallow any ev-
idcnce of rascality and outrage without
revolving at it, The bombardmont Of
Valparaiso, and the reported crueltes
towards Liberal officers and soldiers in
Mexico, produced howls Of sympathy
from those who had giored in and ap-
plauded similar wrongs when done to
the people of the South And now our
sympathy is invoked for Canada. Sym
pathy is all very well; but let those
who have been dumb when people of
their own country were oppressed, keep
silent over the woes of strangers. All
the tears they have shed, or could shed
for the wrongs Of Chill, Mexico, and
Canada, would fail to wash away the
disgrace ofthcir former most unnatural
oHrnsc.-N \. .Nems.

UNDERwooD.-Thc Richmond cor
respondent of the New York World
givcs the following notice Of Under
woods charge to the Grand Jury:
The sixteen jurors being impanneled,
the Judge commenced to read, in a
clear, but trembling voice, his charge
to thcm-and such charge! do not
repeat it here, for the papers will give
it to You verJotim. Suffice it to say it
was never cqualed by anything in the
whole annals Of American jurispru-
dcncc, not even by the charge by the
same Judge at Norfolk. 1t fairly out
underwooded Underwood. The coun-
tenances of the assemblage, during the
delivery of this wonderful written doc
umcnt, were something worthy of the
pencil of Hogalth. Every sign of
mrth. from the half incredulous smile
to the fully appreciated broad grin
were there visible. Learned lawyers
sat listening with lifted eyebrows and
months agape with establishment; the
wicked press gang punched each other
hilariously in the ribs as each success
i've popgun came booming against the
press gentleman sat pleasantly staring
at each other, evidently trying to dis
cover likeness between them and the
savages Of Mozambique and senegam-
bia. The whole thing, intolerable, vul-
car and insulting as it was--was far
too rich to excite anger; the one per-
vading feeling WAS incredulity and as
tonishment, mingled with pity for the
exhibitor. The wicked animus OF q
,Jenrcys was completely lost sight ofin
the amusing bombast ola Buzluz.
