The BLESSINGS OF PEACE.-Look.
ing through a large number of North
ern and Western papers yesterday,
We were forcibly struck with the
bitterness Of spirit and virulence with
which the political quarrel there ex-
listing is being carried on. Every
State, and town and village appears
to be divided among themselves. In
every community there are two or
more newspaper "organs" pecking
away at each other, as if they would
pick each others eyes out. We
suppose these political "organs" rep
resent each portion Of the commu-
nifty for which they are printed,
from which we infer that the people
in the streets are, also, daily polite
ally picking each others eyes out
What it is all to lead to, we did not
stop to inquire, if a satisfactory
opinion We're possible. The dark
veil of the future hides it from us.
We dropped the papers in disgust,
and turning homeward congratulated
ourselves on the blessings of peace
not solely exemption from the ruth
less ravag 5 OF war, but from the
distractions and violent words of DO
litical strife. We are accustomed to
complain that we have no voice in
the administration of the Govern
ment to which we are subject, that
we are taxed without representation,
and sorely troubled with agents,
and schemers, and Adventures, the
chances of war have sent among us
to the serious detriment of business
and the disgust of all good people,
but even this, bad as it is, is better
than that eternal wrangling of which
the reckless and INSCRIPTIONS publ
cations before us give evidence. We
at least are unanimous in sentiment
and have no political quarrel on our
hands, and for that ought to be
thankful. It is a most Improbable
business as the political agitators of
the North will yet find out. In
word, as compared with the other
section Of the Union, we are enjoy
ing the most profound quietude and |
peace. While they are wrangling
over questions which scarcely CON
Germ them, we of the South, whom |
they do concern, are quietly attend
ing to our business. 1t is a most |
anomalous state of things, but it is
better SO than to have the wrangling
among ourselves. Inestimable are
the blessings of peace which we
enjoy as compared with that, and in
close attention to business alone may
we long continue to cultivate and
enjoy it.-N. o. Picayune, 18Th inst.

Say A woman in Charleston, S
G., begged for eighty dollars to bury
her husband. A benevolent lady
visited her home to take her the
money. In a darkened apartment
lay the corpse; the widow was cry
ing, and everything looked very
melancholy. She left the eighty dol
lars and departed, forgetting her
parasol. Returning, she found the
corpse carefully counting her money.

namely: to employ their means a
far as possible to secure create

and mechanical pursuits and to fos
ter and encourage the establishing
in their midst of every species o
profitable manufacture. Guided by
this determination, they cannot fai
in due time to bring about such g
reaction in the general welfare Of
the country as will command fol-
them that influence and respect
before the world which Knocks to
scorn the schemes and intrigues

Much depends upon the universal
education Of the children and their
proper training in morals and indus.
trious habits. In these there is a
mine of wealth to the rising genera
ton from which society will derive
the proudest of benefits. Educate
the children, learn them trades, and
thus prepared, when they grow up
they have a capital already at hand
to begin life with.
Our large landholders should eve-
rywhere adopt the policy of dividing
their lands into convenient tracts to
suit purchasers. This policy, we
are glad to see, is becoming more
and more advocated by the press
and people of the South. 1t is the
only true policy, since the great
change which has taken place in
the agricultural labor system of the
South, by which we can hope or
expect anything like restoration of
our former agricultural prosperity.
1t is under such policy that the
States farther north of us have be-
come SO wealthy, prosperous and
enterprising. It is the only policy
by which we can induce in this
direction that class of emigration,
which will not only enhance the
political strength of the South, but
fill it up with settlements of thrifty
families and enterprising capitalists.
The time must certainly come when
there will be hardly any one, even
among our largest landholders, so
blind as not to see, that this is the
only true policy left them by which
they can best subserve their own
and the general veal, and he who
may be found opposed to it, will be |
classed among those who are mimi
cal to the best interests of the coun- |
try. Let there be small farms, there
fore, and plenty of them, placed in |
the market at prices low enough to
induce persons with small means to
invest in them. By and by these
persons will increase their capital by
abor and industry, we shall expert
snce greater benefits from diversity
If culture at their hands, and manu-
;actories, the invariable accompani-
nents of populous communities, will
spring up on every hand to aid the
South in her struggles for prosperity

New York correspondent of the Phila.

There il good reason for believing that
in the grand Provincial Council Of the
Roman Catholic Church, which is in SEES
sion in Baltimore, an effort will be made
to extend a formal invitation to the Pope
to make the United States his home, in
the event of such turn in political affairs
in Italy as would render his stay in Rome
undesirable. It's no secret that the high
est ecclesiastical authority in this diocese
ia favorable to the proposition, and his
