The Newbern IN. o. Times utters a dolefhl
Jereniad over the forlorn and helpless condi-
ton of the South, which it describes as pros
trate at the feet Of relentless and vindictive
enemy, warming for readmission into the dear
old Union fold from which cruel radicals per
sist in excluding her, "powerless to aid in the
accomplishment Of what would do her good,
or to prevent those results which tend to her
further injury and ruin"
aThe South" says the Times, @is emphatic
ally 'out In thecoll,' and no one can shut his
eyes to the fact that hopes for future exten-
sion of the national blanket over her shiyering
limbs are daily, hourly dying out. Her enc
mics predominant in the National Legislature,
and their efforts to consummate a final and to-
tai dissolution of the American Union bid fair
to reach success, unless President johnson
and his friends in the North can stem the dis
union tide" aiS a#

no judge of temperatures For these defeated
secessionists, who for four years have waged
bloody war for the very purpose of escaping
from that national fold they now affect to long
for, 10 charge their present disabilities upon
the men who fought to restrain them, to stig-
Matte as adisunionists" those who with infin-
lite expenditure of blood and toll and treasure
have lust saved our sacred Union from DIES.
truction at their sacrilegious hands is an exhib
ition of impudence of which even reconstruct
ed rebels might have been deemed incapable
1t is an idea so monstrous as to touch the
point of absurdity and we could afford to smile
at it did we not hear the same dastardly insult
to the loyal North echoed from high quarter rs
at Washington, and from lips that pirate of pa
triotism! 1t is enough to call the very dead
out of their ten thousand bloody graves when
such insults are offered to the cause for which
they died. ..'....,....
In the same lugubrious strain, and with a
heroic disregard for the restrictions of ordina-
ry grammar, our North Carolina patriot thus
continues: rFy ....p I'D. D.. ,.
1--WE of the South can do nothing to avert
the evil which seems so imminent. Our pro
testations of loyalty to the constitution are o
no avail in our behalf, being used by the dis
unionists as a weapon against our own Dos
omg. All the ingenuity of mighty mtellect
are brought to bear in national LEGISLATION fOl
our further humiliation. The devices of radi
calism are many, and their hatred OF our Peep
lie equal to their cunning" .I .-..

MASONIC CELEBRATION.--Th APP
preaching Masonic celebration in Balti-

one of the most imposing pageants ever
witnessed in that city. Invitations have
been extended to the lodges of every

twenty-five ladies and gentlemen, Sc
lected from the best musical circles, as
sisted by an orchestra of forty instru-
ments will add greatly to the interest
of the occasion by their performances.
1t is thought that 5000 visiting Masons
will be present at the laying of the corr

Sent TO the PcnitentiNl.Y.

Last Week we announced the conVlc-
ton and sentenced to fourteen years con-
fnement in the penitentiary, Landon I.
Lovett,. upon the charge Of horse steal
ing. As we then went to press, his trial
was progressing on an Indictment for
shooting negro at Purcellville last
spring-which resulted in his being
found guilty, and sentenced to one year
in the penitentiary, making an aggre-
gate term Of fifteen years.
Edward S. Wright and Geotge Camp
bell, indicted for the same offence with
Lovett, but who had broke jail and
were absent at the time of the trial OF
the latter were brought before Judge
Thomas on Monday last, and their trial
proceeded WITH The same facts were
elected in this as in the case OF i.oNett.
The prisoners We're most ably and lnSe-
niously defended by Mr.. Tucker-but
the weight of testimony was too strong,
and the jury, after Il brief retirement
returned with verdict OF guilty and
fixed the period g. their Imprisonment
in the penitentiary at ten years each.
Thus ends the career of three young
men in the prime ofmanhood, theyoung-
est of them, Campbell, not exceeding
his Doth year. 1t was sad to witness one
SO young, WHO 1T eile toiil'iSASel,sie y,
the late war, though mere youth, had
entered the service of his State With Il
good character, so soon consigned to a
felon's cell. His aged mother was pres
ent in the courthouse until after night
fall, when the verdict was rendered
clinging With all the devotion OF amoth-
er's love, to the fortunes her hayward
child, even to the very threshold OF de-
spair. Who can tell the sorrow or soothe
the anguish of that stricken parent:
and what q terrible warning should the
doom of that young man be to those
who would avoid infiicting that pang
which is ssharper thana serpents.tooth, .
and bring in sorrow to the grave the
gray hairs of those who gave them be-
ing ees5w'g Mirror.
