A PROPHEsY OF RETRIBUTION.
A Gloomy Reflection.

The venerable Nathan Lord, D. D.,
for third of a century President of
Dartmouth College, New Hampshire,
amid all the political infatuation and
religious fanaticism that has surround
ed him, and that compelled him finally
to surrender the position he had so long
adorned, adheres steadfastly to the prin
ciples and opinions that he espOused
before the insanity that now prevails in
this section of the country had become
general. The Charleston Mercury of
the 9th of March publishes a portion of
a private letter written by him last
month to one of his former pupils, ex-
tracts from which we subjoin:
II do not justify, in point of Chris
tan principle or common prudence, the
methods by which you sought redress
of the wrongs you have, for more then
a generation, received from the North,
But / more blame ourselves for our de-
nunciation of slavery itself, in distinc-
ton from its abuses, and then for our
'irrepressible conflict with it,undertak-
en- upon false moral and political
grounds, and carried on, hatefully,
as it had been, after a Mohammedan
fashion. Were the institution a naal,tna
IN Sc, and not sometimesa conservative
necessity forall the parties, onr method
of overcoming it has been, from first
to last unworthy of Christian people.
We have done the work. We have
given you dreadful punishment. But
as we have done it in unrighteousness,
our retribution, some time, somehow,
will come, perhaps to general dissolu-
ton.
"Yet l dare not speculate upon the
future. 4 fold my hands. and
wait upon the providence of God. But
in the general and in the long run
see no good before us. Judgment will
come.

Of all the nations. The world has grown

the still more awful tragedy looming dark

Well, since the days of King Stork, there
has been no instance where fools have been
50 fully grat'fed; indeed, they have vastly
more than even they basganed for. They
have " government that, in the first
place, has a standing army in times Of
peace, that costs more than the worst OF
the old military monarchies Of Eurore, and
quite as much as our former democratic
administrations altogether Then their
government, they 50 icrcelJ clamored for,
has probably double the civil employees Of
any European government and finally, it

agency or machine OF the Lond holder, for

results OF their annual labor
But it i vastly worse than even this.
The government, the thing. machine. or
whatever We may call it, is an instrument

The great enemy of the people is the

Democracy and Low Prices,

Ever since the de nocrats began the vic
tory business there has been steady de-
cline In prices, which is contrary to all the
predictions Of what would be that were
made by the radical prophets before the
elections. Gold has tumbel down from
no to l3S. and dry goods are so low that
it does not cost much more 10 dress now
han 1t dad before the war At the cloth
ing houses on Broadway and the Bowery
you may see suits, good and bad. almost
as cheap as they were five years ago, and
in every business street piles Of dry goods
ticketed from so to l00 per cent belos
the prices asked for the same goods in
1860. Calicoes at l2!c yard muslins
20 to lSc; delaincs at lS2c; dress goods
from ID to 80 c, AMI all kinds of costlier
fabrics At prices that indicate heavy loss
to some one.
The decline is severely felt BY import
erS, Jobbers and agents, and some of them
are out of pocket TO the tune of $4,000
to $4,000 by it; but It is very adyanta-
geoas to the working classes. for il enables
them to make a dollar so as far in dress
as two went last year Groceries and
rents are still high, but with these excsp-
tons it Is much cheaper living in New
York now than it has been for three or
four years And judging by the number
of houses going up, there ough. to be
sharp decline in rents next year. If We
continue the victory business neit fall, I
expect TO see prices very near the old
standard soon after. 1t may be hard on
the SPECTATORS, but az they are fond of
grinding other people, it is only fair that
their own faces should feel touch Of the

The Catyornian says the following sim
pie and touching remarks and accompany
ing poem have just come to hand from
the rich goldmining regions of Sonora
To Mr.. MARK TWAIN:
The within person, wich [ have sot to
poetry under the name and style of "He
Done His Level Best" was one among the
whitest men | ever seed, and it amt every
man that knowed him that can find it in
his heart to say he's glad the poor Gus is
busted and gone home to the States. He
was here in my early day, and he was the
handiest man about taking holt of any
thing that come along you most ever see,
| judge; he was a cheerful, stirrn crea-
tur, always doing something, ar no man
can say he ever see him do anything by
halves.
Preachin was his natural gait; but he
wern't man to lay back and twiddle his
thumbs because there didn't happen to be
nothin doin in his own especial line. No,
sir; he was q man who would meander
forth and stir up somethin for hisself.
His last act was to go his pile on kings
and' Calculating to fill but which he
didn't fill, when there was Flush out
agin him, and materially, you see he went
under and so he was cleaned out, as you
may say, and he struck tbs home trail,
cheerful, but fat broke. l knowed this
talented man in Arkansaw; and if you
would print this humble tribute to his
abilities, you would greatly obleegc his
Unhappy friend.

Or if twas off and on-the same,

Ir he was preaching on his beat.
He'd tramp from East and West,

He done his level best.
He'd cuss and sing, and howl and pray,
And dance and sing and jest
And lie and stea-all one TO him,

"He (the hero of the story had part

lines, earned every step by desperate en-
deavor, aud after every advantage, found
Lee still firm, defiant, desperate. No one
so well knew the Incompatible skill and
bravery of that now waning army of
Northern Virginia as they, who for four
years had fought it, and now, in the hour
of its supreme disaster, were grinding it
to powder rather than forcing its surren-
