The BLESSINGS or FREEDoM.--We
have been informed Of a most shocking
occurrence, which illustrates the ca.
p~acities Of the African ace for devel.
opments and progress under the new
regime. An old negro, Phil, formerly
owned BY Mr., James Booker had been
living, since emancipation, with his
children on the plantation of +. C.
Woodruff, of Meriwether. Not wish
ing to be troubled with their father,
who was quite aged and an invalid, they
carried the old man, on Sunday the 7th
instant, ont to a brush tent, some dis.
lance from the cabin, and there left him
alone in his enfeebled and helpless con-
dition. The Saturday following he was
found dead from starvation, and that
within a few hundred yards from the
cabin Of his children. Mr.. Booker,
the former master, on learning the facts,
Immediately proceeded to the place,
and to his horror, discovered the body
of the pitiablc old man being dcvoured
by buzzards-the right eye already
plucked out. and the cheek eaten away.
TO cap the climax Of sickening hor.
rors, Mr.. B., could with difficulty sue.

the wretches bury their own father

Stanton.


The Radical papers are becoming du-
bious about Secretary Stanton. The
St. Louis Democrat has the following :
"Washington letter writer's openly
assert hat Mr.. Stanton has made pit.
eous appeals to be retained in the cabi-
net, and has promised to indorse the
Philadelphia Convention. If his self
respect permits him to occupy his pres
ent position much longer, the country
will be apt to believe that these shame,
full stories are true. Mr.. Stanton's
speech, some weeks ago, was of a tone
not at all calculated to elevate him in
the esteem Of his friends, though many
of them have still hoped that he would
come out all right in the end. 1t is
alss reported that Mr.. Stansberry ac-
ccpted the position Of Attorney Cen
eral on condition that Mr.. Stanton
should be retained, and that in this pc.
sition lie was backed by strong West
ern influences. Stories 80 circumstan.
tial as these ought to be met by Mr.
Stanton with some positive declaration

ilccrtitudc, without mdder or compass
taking these fncts into consideration,
and the further fact that 1emo!e educa.

TO those who wish to secure q
.hcalthful location to educate their
daughters, Winchester is the place to
which they should send. For health
%fnlncss, cleanliness and beauty, no place
is more celebrated; and the advantages
which are here afforded for adorningand
expanding the hitherto much neglected
mind Of woman are attracting the at
tention of that class Of men who know
how to estimate such privileges, and
the consequence is, our romantic little
mountain city is filed to Overlooking;
but there are plenty Of eligible building
sites, and all we want is for men ofcap-
ital to come here and purchase the va
cant lots, build houses, both for them
selves and to rent, and then we can
soon have a population Of such n char.
acter that we will be proud of-and
with an increase of population, comes,
rs Il necessary auxiliary, increase of.
trade, Of every branch, and an increase
of money, and ~iM plenty Of that, an in.
crease in our household goods and
chattcls, lands and tencments.
Then we say to the reader, if you
want your daughter sensibly educated,
send her along to this delightful noun
tain villa, where all is quiet, serene and
invigorating. The College buildings
are spacious and comfortable, board
bills moderate, Faculty full and compe-
tent, the location as health inspiring as
my summer resort on the %globe--oll
conspirc to make this the unrivalled Fe-
male School ofthe South, and there is
no better use to which men can apply
heir money than by educating their
children.

Col. Forney and the Brownlow
DiSpatCh.

As Congress has begun, in Mr.. Har-
vey's case, the plan Of Furnishing pub
lie servants for improprieties Of de.
meanor, by stopping their salaries, we
respectfully suggest that, if the plan be
considered a good one, the Clerk ofthe
Senate be brought under its operation.
The country was edited not long ago
by the publication Of an application
from this gentleman for an Office to
President johnson, which was support
ed be n strong remainder that he (the
applicant was the proprietor OF ''two
papers, both dailies," q circumstance
which must have made "0ur Chief
Magistrate more amendable than ever
to the voice of the press. Mr.. Forney
has, within a few days, however, cap
ped the climax by reading in full Sen
ate a telegraph from the unfortunate
Governor Of Tennessee, in which he
applied language to the President which
would disgrace a Tennessee grog-shop.
No formal notice has, SO far, been taken
of this scandalous occurrence. From
Parson Brownlow nobody expects any
decency ofeither language or behavior.
There was, in our mind, no more mel
ancholy incident in the war than the
adoption of this parsonage by the
Union party Of the North as a prophet
and martyr-he who was, as long as
slavery lasted, as foul mouthed and
blasphemous an advocate Of slavery as
he has since been of freedom. To his
ribaldry and buttoonery the Senate can
not put a stop, but it al prevent its
being insulted by having bits ofhis bill

otilcers.-M Nation, Rad. Rep.)

Gas Like As Two Peas"

From the New York EXprcss.l
The British Tories are close imita-
tons of our American Radicals. They
are afraid to trust the people--and like
them also, are cternally doing some
thing to excite the popular passions,
and to provoke riots, which but too
often end in dangerous connections,
and the shedding of human blood.
The Tories would not let the friends
of the Electoral Rcform-that is, the
English Democrats and Liberals met
in Hyde Park, the other day-and a Sc
rious %tulnult, threatening the exist
cuce ever Of the Government itself was
the result.
The Radicals in the recent Rump
Congress were afraid to trust the PEG.
pie of the eleven States Of the Union
with selr,government--but aided and
abetted such plots against their peace,
as q revival ofthe New Orleans Con.
vention of'G4-and a bloody riot there
is the. result.
The fact is, the British Tories and
American Radicals are sprouts from
the same bad stem. Their genius and
their instinct alike are hostile to free
government and the liberties Of no
people can be considered entirely safe
where either is in the ascendancy.
The folly of English Tories, in the
Hvda Park intorJict is likc1y IN work
its OWN cure. We should not be sur.
prised to learn any day--through the
cahle-that they have been compelled
to leave their places by the sheer force
of hostile public opinion. In like man.
ner, lot us hope the day is not far dis
tant when the same sort of public opin.
ion here, will deprive the American
Tory also of all further power for mis-
chief. Demagogues, who are afraid to
trust the People, ooncr or later, will
be cast out.

"Making Treason OdiOus,''
Ridiculous Failure.
From the Richmond Times.1

So far every effort to make treason
odious" has r~idiculously failed, for the
simple reason that the late war was a
civil war, and not a IRRESPONSIBLE strug'
gle on the part Of the Southern people.
Civil war is what the world regard it.,
what 1t really was, and is all the radi-
Gals either have or can make Of 1t. This
they know as well US we and the rest
Of the world do, and they may gnash
their teeth in vain now and forever, but
they will never prove that a contest
was treason which nearly overthrow
them which required them, first and
last, to call out several millions ofmen /;
which extorted from the world the ac-
acknowledgement of our belligerent rights.
and which covered our name with glo-
ry though overwhelmed with defeat.
If treason has been committed why
is not Jefferson Davis tried in order
that the issue may be determined past
civilY All, that is what they shrink
from, They we'll know what condem-
nation awaits them in that trial, and
what vindication will be ours in that
verdict. They dodge the ordeal, for
they know that they would really be as
much tried, and much nearer condemn
ed by the trial than Jefferson Davis and
the South. .tIt. .,..
When Benedict Arnold went to Eu.
rope, at the close Of the revolution, he
found himself Kissed, scorned and spit
upon by the sentiment of both English
and continental society wherever he
presented himself. He died a misera.
bic recluse, who dared not show his
face in public for fear of being insulted.
That is the way the world treats trait
ors. But we do not find that Confed-
crates are received in this name
either at home or abroad. Foreign
nations extend to them every honor
and distinction; even exalting them to
high places, Were Mr.. Davis or Cen
eral Lee in Europe to-day, admiration
would follow and huzzas would greet
them wherever they appeared. No
single thought Of ~"treason" would
enter a mind Of the millions who would
shout their fame. The greatness Of
their deeds, the purity of their virtues,
and, in the case Of MIR. Davis, the mag
nitude of his sutterings and his martyr
dom at Fortress Monroe, would fill
the minds of all mel and captivate
their hearts. 3Jir
The "odium of treason" as far as
this term is sought to be made appli-
cable to the Southern people, is at once
so preposterous and absurd that it is
high time the idle folly of such Ian
guage had ceased it stultiies the peo-
pie who still continue to employ it. 1t
is considered mean and dishonorable
among gentlemen to make q charge
which cannot be established. If our
war was not a civil war, OF attempted
revolution, let those who dispute our
proposition prove the treason" We
all know how gladly they would do so,
if possible. But they cannot, and,
therefore, they refrain from trying Mr..
because they fear what is be-
hind that verdict, and well they may.

MARY SHARP COLLEGE,

The next session Of this wcll-estab
lished and far famed institution com.
menccs on the lst Monday in Septem-
her. It will he conducted by the able
corps Of teachers, under whose super
intcndcncc it has accomplished 80
much for female education in the South.
This institution owes its present peer
less position 70 the peculiar system of
teaching adopted by President z. G.
Graves and his able co-workcr, Prof.
W. p. Marks, which proceeds upon the
motto Of "Labor omaia riac't,' and that
the Creator has endowed the female
with mental powers equal to the male.
Those who have never witnessed the
trying ordeal of an examination at the
Mary Sharp, would be difficult to con
vince Of the pre-eminent advantages
which this school possesses over other
Female Colleges in the South. The
young lady is so thoroughly imbued
with 4 II wledge Of her studies that
she is not ashamed to he questioned
thereupOn, for they are not permitted to
pass over a single iesson without thorough
ly comprehending its Fundamental princi-
rles, without which all knowledge is
superficial, and, Of course, won't last
much longer than their school days.
To carry out this system requires
great labor on the part Of the teachers,
as well as the pupils, and this communi-
" can bear testimony, not only to the
ripe scholarship of the head teachers
of the Mary Sharp. butte their indom'
table energy and industry in the per-
Torrance OF their duties. We venture
the broad assertion that there are not
many places in the Union that can fur
nish equal educational facilities with
this institution, and nom that a sur
pass it. Though it is held out to the
public as q Baptist School, the pupils
ofthe Mary Sharp have perfect relig-
ious freedom, and the peculiar doc
trines Of the Baptist Church are not
imposed onthc youthful mind, but all
are left perfectly free from church or
sec.ayian influence. Although n Bap-
list School, it vas lever intended as a
proseiytiny machine, hut il was, and is
intended rs q school to teach, train,
and discipline the females ofonr Sunny
South, Of all denominations, to qualify
them for the grave responsibilities OF
the present existence.
Fully recognizing and appreciating
the great truth, that the happiness and
perpetuity Of q nation depend upon
public virtue and recognizing and APP
psee.aeng another important fact,
mat education is most essential in the
acq iis'tion of that degree of public yir.
