more important to learn it than now. The real
battle has come 1t is a sterner conflict than
Shiloh or Gettysburg; for the issue is not a
principle-the principle is acknowledged by us
all-but it is deuotion to principle. The greater
includes the less. IfSouthern devotion to the
principle of justice shall shine out clear, bright
and steadtast, amid all the storms of rage and
persecution, then that principle itself will
ultimately illumine the darkness of our future.
But if our devotion to truth, honor and consti-
tutional right cannot outlive the ordeal through
which it is now passing, then indeed may we
sing the requiem of liberty No fire from heav-
en- will rekindle her extinguished torch.
The Promethean spark is in our own bosoms.
Our destiny is in our own hands in spite of all
our enemies may do. Only zoe can make OF
mar our fate five are true to principle, it will be
true to u.s. IF we desert it, it will scorn US. II
we listen to the hour, the centuries will sing us
no song. IF we accept the present, we throw
away the future

Can it possible that the account of the recent
burning of the town ofBrenham, in Texas, going
the rounds of the papers, as furnished by Mr..
McAusland, gentleman from the North, is
correct? That q. S. soldiers and colored people,
in revenge for refusal to admit colored women

Macmillan.

Hon. Reverdy johnson, in the debate in the
Senate Friday week on Mexican affairs, gave a
brief history of Macmillan career, and of the
causes that led him to enter Mexico, showing
that in the first instance leading men and high
officials in Mexico sought, through Mr.. McLane,
our then Minister, the interposition Of the Uni
ted States, and desired this Government to es-
tablish order and erect permanent Republic !;
and, failing in this, the same parties invited
Macmillan to come to Mexico and establish an
empire, assuring him that they represented the
voice of the people, as expressed by vote. Mr..
johnson paid high tribute to the character of
Macmillan, and called attention to his noble
and honorable traits, especially referring to the
fact that Macmillan could have left Mexico I'M
der the protection of the French troops, but re-
fused to do SO because he felt it to be his duty
to remain and share the fate of his followers.
