CHRISTMAS.

TaE holidays passed OF without their usu,
al accompaniment Of turbulence, riotings and
drunken debaucbsriss, the white folks de,
meaning themselves with becoming d~ecsney
and self respect, and the colored, who in
time of servitude observed the annual rslaxa-
ton from toll aud drudgsry with bOiSisrOuS
merry making, abSiaining from all diScredit-
able demonstrations
There were social gatherings Of old and
young, a 1ow ofWit and soul and warm out
guShiugs of kindly feeling, which drive des-
pair from its usurpsd dominion, revive the
waRing fame Of hope, and smooth the rugged
aspsrities Of life.
Nos. all Of our friends, we are sure, spent
the holidays in suCh q way, that It will be
the pleasure Of memory ts revert TO il in AFTER
years. We are equally sure, that those, il
there be, who memoriEed the departure OF
the old year bythe orgies Of " inspiring bold
Bsrley-corp " have a blank page in their his
tory, upon which reflection will inseribe with
its diamond point, self abASement and desc
grafton Of time.
The good order and quietude which pre-
vailed dnring the holidays, we take as a most
encouraging evidence Of the improving con-
dition Of public morality, and that soon sOei-
ETY. will be reconstructed upon the %f'sterni-
cation ofits Heterogeneous and Waring sls-
ements.
This accomplished, there win spring from
the dscadence Of our energies and aspira-
tons, a Hercules Of zeal and effort, who will
ns,amorphose our war-ravaged country in
10 al Bden scene Of harmony, happiness aud
abundance.
