ALEXANDRIA,.
FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER q.

The papers from, the. South continue to be
filled with accounts Of the woe and distress in
the Southern States-of the incendiary and out
rageous conduct of the blacks-of the oppres-
sion and misery Of the white population and
of the brutal outrages often inflicted upon
white aged men, women and children. If
moiety even of these statements are correct, no
country for half century or more. 1t is not,
as we. have. said before, only suffering OF the
body. not alone physical distress but the tor
ture of the mind i; it is subsection -ruin-exile.
The Chicago Tribune (RadicaD says: 'Be-
tween the wide exclusion of the whites and the
universal enfranchisement of the blacks, Ten
nessee is political Pandemonihm. A letter
FROM South Carolina says: No country is
more terribly scourged with rogues and marau-
ders than this is at present. Hogs, cattle,
poultry, horses are swept away, and all the or
binary precautions fail to afford security" A
lady at Kingston, Alabama, has written an ap-
peal to the Christian women Of the North, to
use their influence to save.the women of the

cal, policy of reconstruction is forcing upon
them Large numbers Of families in the South
are left without any male head, and the females
have to work and toll in the field, and are there,
as everywhere else, constantly subjected to the
insults and outrages of half civilized negroes,
who know no law but their own lusts and de-
sires"' A New Orleans paper says, 'that we'll
authenticated accounts reach us from the coun-
try districts respecting the increasing power
ty, desolation, and desperation Of the people,
and especially of, the negroes. The unprece-
dented failure of every kind of cultivation has
placed very large class OF the negroes on the
verge of starvation. It is driving them to acts
of desperation and wholesale robbery, which
are rapidly consuming what is left on the plan

extracts taken at random from the mass of
published statements before us. We could gill

SIGNS OF POLITICAL DETERIORATION. The
London Times of the 5th inst, winds up an ar
ticle on American politics with this inquiry
How is it that the perfectly free representa-
ton machinery of the Union does not bring to
the surface the best men Of the republic, and
that the Congress is almost as little mirror OF
the country as the Common Council OF New
York is a representation Of the wealth, the m
teigence, and the public spirit OF that city
We do not suppose that the Times asks this
question "for information" 10 the spirit OF a
docile learner It's real object, probably, IS to
impress on the mind Of English readers the
idea that our system is failure, and that 1t
would be the height of human folly to sublttute
il for the British monarchy Yet the Times
paws great attention to American affairs de-
voting one or two articles in almost every ~
sue to the discussion of our finances, our presl
dent, our Congress, our Fenians, our territorial
extension, or our army and navy-and we Can
not believe that it is incapable Of framing the
true answer to it, own question. The an
swer, as everyintelligent American uni erstands
it, is this: The causes OF The present lner:or-
ity of the American Congress, as compared
with Congresses OF former days, DO not orlgl,
nate from any radical defect in our system OF
government. If the fault wcr% in the system,
how does it happen that we had so many Con
crosses, up to 1850. or later date, comprising
las general rule) the best intellacts and
the purest hearts, we do not say OF the
country, but Of the parties which IN
turn administered national affairs? II the sys,,
tenn were bad, it should have broken down and
become hopeless wreck long before the period
which we have desi gnated The causes which
have produced the admitted deterioration II the
quality of congressman are sufficiently plain.
Narrow minded sectionalism fanatlclsm, erept
into party politics, new passions and a;ntlpacc
thics were aroused, impulse took the place Of
reason, and those politicians who could harangue
the loudcst and the fercest, gained the ear and
the votes Of the people; the ablest and most
honest Of our statesmen either quilted politics
in disgust, Of their own accord, or were sup
planted by no;sy demagogues and the whole
frenzied movement, hnrrying along without
check or cog from the solid ability and worth
of the country, eliminated in the four years
war During the war, and since its close, the
same causes have been at work to keep inferior
men at the posts Of responsibility. AZ T. a.

] One Radical paper says that Ashley, the
.impeacher, was nota man of ability enough to
have been allowed to take the leadership in the
late impeachment business. Another, irrita-
ted at his folly, says heis not ''ft" to be a
member of Congress, at all. This reminds us
OF story Sheridan once told in the British
House Of Commons, when he was running bis
rigs upon Lord Melville: II remember" said
Sheridan, s'the anecdote of a Sootchman who
wrote four acts ola tragedy, which he showed to
Mr. Garrick, who dissuaded him from finishing
it, telling him his talents did not lay that way.
So Johnny abandoned the tragedy and set about
writing comedy. This helshowed, also, to
Garrick, who at once condemned it. Nay,
now," said Johnny 'did you not tell me, my
talents did not lie in tragedy? Yes, said Gar
rick, but I did not tell you they lay in comedy
Then, exclaimed Johnny, "gin they dinna lie
there, where, the dell do they lie, mon.' SO
ifMr. Ashley's talents do not lie in lmpeaching,
or even in being member of Congress, where
the dell do they lie, mon?''

gODuERT.-The concert given by Prof.
G. Lenssen, the eminent German violin
cellist, at BIiIIer's Hall on Wednesday
evening, was pronounced a adecided snc-
cess in musical point of view. The
Professor had a very fair audience, in
regard to numbers, composed almost
entirely of lovers of music, who were
capable fappreciating and enjoying the
rare treat afforded. The audience would
have no doubt been larger if more ex-
tensive notice Of the concert had been
given. Prof. Lenssen can produce
more sweet music from a violincello
than we ever dreamed of being contain
ed in the instrument, and his vocal pow
ers, for one so aged, are remarkable.-
His ''NTarseilles Hymn" in French, and
Alpine Song in German, were raptu-
rously appIauded and encored. He was
assisted by Misses MARY GERHARD and
FANNIE SoLDACE, who won golden
opinions from their hearers as perform
on the Piano, and Messrs. J. w. DOM
VAN, vocalist, and lie Roy VAN HORN,
futist. Should they give another en-
tertainment we advise all lovers of good
and pure music to hear them.

TURNPIKE TO MABYsvILLT1. - The
NarysviIIe Tribune, in commenting on
the proposition recently mentioned in
this journal to construct turnpike
from Delaware to that place, af1irms
that the enterprise is impracticable un-
less materials to make the road-bed are
brought up from Mechanicsburg, dis
tant fifteen miles from Marysville, or
down from Delaware. The Tribune
states that along the line of the road
there is neither limestone, sandstone
or gravel bank attainable, and that
Union county furnishes nothing to
make a road with except "black or
mulatto-colored mud"
Of these facts we were aware not on
ly from hearsay but from dearly bought
experience in travelling or rather foun-
dering over the road, so called, made OF
this same mu1atto-colored mud. The
feasibility of converting it into turn
pike is nevertheless by no means out oi
the question. The authorities of the
Springfield Branch Railroad, we have
been informed, expressed a willingness
some time since to deliver gravel
enough to build theroad at points along
their line at such rates as would render
the enterprise not only possible but
profitable. Our information leads us
to believe that such an arrang cement
might still be effected if talzens hold oi
in earnest. Gravel can certainly be
hauled II or 15 miles by rail as cheaply
as it can be hauled three in wagons
over a "mulatto-colored mud' road
We have reason to believe that it car
be obtained, too, for most parts Of tbs
road, at distance of much less thar
fifteen miles.
This is an enterprise in which tbs
people of Union. county are more es
pecialIy interested, though if consum
mated it would undoubtedly work mu
tual benefit to the two counties and al
SO to the Branch Railroad. We hops
all parties viii ''see it in this light,
and chat the work will speedily be com
menced.

EDITORIAL CBANeE'-The last num-
Der of the Weekly Herald announces
that Capt. John A. Cone has purchased
the establishment and taken editorial
charge Of the paper. We wish him pc
cuniary success in the new vocation,
but we cannot commend the judgment
which determines a young man to aban-
don a profession like the law, to assume
the ungratefu1 task of conducting a
Democratic county paper in county
where the party is in hopeless minor
ity. Possibly Capt. Cone may make it
win, and we shall rejoice athis financial
prosperity, but from zOnr knowledge OF
the business we cannot hold out to him
a f1attering prospect.
