The progress CT the cholera created much anxiety
during the Summer. Beginning in Arabia, it
swept over the southern part Of Europe, reaching
Paris and threatening England and the United
States. Tho Winter came and drove it away,
although wise men bid us look to our sewers and
highways and beware of the Spring. In the East
the Suez Canal has partly succeeded, much to tbs
delight OF France. In the West, the Atlantic
Cable has failed, TO the great sorrow Of the English
The Indian troubles have rather injured our West
ern Territories, but the tide of emigration PUSHES
with the fury Of Spring torrent over the valleys
and prairies Of the West into the placers and
gulches and canons Of the golden Rocky Noun
tains. The year closes upon scene Of
unexsmpled prosperity. First among the nations
in the art Of war; becoming first in the arts Of
peace. During the past year, the wilderness has
blossomed like the rose; industry has overcome tho
forests; streams bearing immortal names are no
longer red with blood, but turn mill-wbeels and
float the produce Of industry and enterprise. Rail-
roads are selecting and interesting every district
Of population and wealth. Towns have arisen in q
the fever OF wer, American Manhood is again
rising in strength and advancing TO the consumma-
ton of free peoples happiness and glory. May
God be thus good TO us when We come again 10
wish our friends Happy New Year!

A Beautiful Extract,

from the address Of Col. Manloye, of the
Vicksburg Herald, before. the; Mississippi
State Press Association, recently convened
in Jackson :::1oi.>a7.r.y
>, H!The Southern Cross 40 longer CLEANS out
mid the wild light of battle the sword Ct
the vanquished is sheathcd, and the land is
gloomy With the harmless seonlchres of our
nartyred dead Bat when years upon years
have passed asay-when the last Of the
present generation sleep with their fathers,
and new forms +hrong the old familiar places
when faction shall have husaed, and Justice
holds the .scales-then, then, as bright as day,
and as free from blemish, snd stain. will
stand forth in; bright relief upon the scroll of
historic fame, the record Of the South, dearer
to the hearts Of Ter children now in the hour
of sorrow, than when, on the march to victo-
ry, she won tie admiration Of the world.
Pilgrims from other lands shall tread, with
reyerent step, above the spot where monlders
the dust ofaour loved and, lost; while those
who are to follow US will cherish as house
hold gods, the names Of those who, carving
away through the fiery path Of war, have
written their.nsmes where they can can never
die. The principle for which SO many laid
down their lives may not be recognized until
their names have grown feeble on the tongue
of friendship, and been dropped, like dead 81
lence, from the ear of the world. But it will
back from the hollow bosom that
once bled for it, and ascend, the heights of
government. And when the faithful historian
shall descend into the vaults q, the: dead
past, in quest of traditions of liberty, he will
then discover to whom the world is indebted

~. ..s ~
Mr.. EDITOR see.in the last Adcsrtiser, some
thing in reference to, the, unsettled condition Of
our country: +" It ia respectfully suggested that
the Legislature recommend to the citizens Of each
District to, appoint q commission to consist Of
eight responsible persons, to whom all matters o.:
Indebtedness shall be submitted, and that they
decide as to howtho same shall be settled-haHing
duc.regard to justice and equity between the
parties" :! 81: e..p.7'! 49,. .,-e,: 80
Tho idea seems to me prepostesous in the ex
trems To say that eight men shall have full
power to settle all disputes, of indebtedness be
tween parties, when: according to law. it, always
took twelve, besides one or. two Lawyers and
Judge, &c. But it seems to be based upon re-
sponsibility 1 ask hoB that is to be done? Where
is the injured party to got redres'7 Perhaps II
will be said by law. Then if that be the case,
where is the necessity of such q course, as pre-
scribed.. To say the least of it, it is the most
simplest. idea imaginable to a thinking mind.
! am: in favor of compromises between oil par
ties, whore the debtor is not actually able to pay
all his Indebtedness. But for me, or the public,
to hang mp our opinions and right in the premises

mercy towards the.poor, the fatheress, or the

Shall Convicts be Taught the Mechan'
1 -af 'ic Arts

The Macon (Ga.) Citizen has very aensi-
BILE editorial on this subject, 10 which the
question is taken that "no class OF the COM
munity should have an evil fastened upon
them from which other classes are exempt
ed." In other words, there is no reason why
The Penitentiary .convicts should be taught
tho mechanic arts, while the learned Profes-
sions are not taught in that institution. a
nbyscian or lawyer would object to associ-
ate with one of either of these professions
who had received his education in the peni-
tcntiary, aud this they would have right to
do. Why should not the mechanic have the
same objection with as much reason What
applies TO the one class in this respect must
apply equally to the other. There are other
modes of labor which can be applied 10 the
conyicts besides the mechanic arts, and the
learned professions, and, therefore ought to
be applied. We are pleased to notice that the
views of the Penitentiary Committee Of the
Legislature, in their late Report, coincide
with ours and We may say with the Git
izen ,, ,,,r.
No class of the cor unity should have an
evil fastened upon fem from which other
classes are exempted.
Besides, in the present state Of the coun-
try, every possible development and encour,
asement should be given tu the mechanical
and manufacturing interests of the State, IN
stead of throwing odium upon them, by place
ing felons on the same platform with u ones' le.
men. u.
:. The recommendations Of the commissioners
are good. The convicts should be employed
in the rock quarries, iron, lime, and Goa
mines. working on public improvements, a
seirvile labor, as the most useful to Che S,at'
and least prejudicia! to those engaged in hon
orable industrial pursuits--and We hope tn
Legislature will adopt their suggestions.
