The Hour and the Need.

The present situation of our affairs de-
mands greatest prudence, circumspection,
and the most careful and wise delibera.
ton on the part of that class of our citi.
zens whose views and opinions have n
large weight and influence in controlling
and directing popular sentiment There
never was, in the history of the Repub
lie, an emergency in which hasty concu-
sions, rash and violent ideas and expires.
sions, and crude and impracticable pro
positions were capable ofproducing more
mischief than in our present condition
There never was time when the passion
ate, the heelless, the dcmagogical class,
unfortunately always large one in every
community, have greater need to hold
their pea. ahi.. defer to the wisdom and
discretion of the cool headed, the calm
sagacious and thoughtful
Loud talk fiery denunciations, savage
phillipics, heroic threats-with bitter sar-
casms and tamts against those who may
invoke thought and deliberation--will
only aggravate our evils and embarrass
any practical measures for mitigating
them.
The noisy declaimer,--wh is always
ready to die in the last ditch, the time
serving demagogue who seeks to make n
little capital by a cheap explosion of
wrath against all who will not echo his
high sounding but impotent words, as
truckers and recreants, can give us little
assistance, nay, will place clogs and OBJ
stacles in our way through our present
difficulties The men of firm minds, of
high courage and self-command, who can
think, who can propose something prac-
ticable and wise, and who are not afraid
to take the responsibility, to face the
clamOr of the thoughtless and passionate,
and to despise the arts of the demagogue
these are the men we now need to
guide and direct the sentiments and con
duct of our people Have we not men
of this class in our State, men whose
heroism has been attested in the most
trying scenes of the recent terrible war,
upon whose valor and devotion the pco
pie relied in the hour Of conflict, and
who. since the close of the war, have
been the chief counsellors of Il wise,
peaceful and calm demcanor? There are
such among us Let the men of that
class indicate the course and suggest the
measures to be adopted by our people !!
Let them give their views and counsel in
this dark hour Of their country; and we
venture the opinion that they will carry
more weight and influence than all the
constitutional arguments and indignant
harangues Of the political orators. What
recommendation may proceed from them
will command harmonious support and
approval. Unfortunately, all propositions
and schemes emanatng from political
bodies, are apt to produce divisions, dis
agreements, heated discussions, .jcalousies
and suspicious. But no such feelings and
effects will attend the deliberations Of
citizens of the class described, and we
earnestly hope that they will afford to a
much embarrassed people the light of
their counsel to guide them in the pres
ent crisis Of our aiiars-N 0. Times.

The following is an extract of letter
from an old resident in aourishing
town, in Arskansas, to an old friend in
Hamden, New Haven County:
DEAR SIR: u have managed to save
my neck through this rebellion as well a.
some property although I have lost
near twenty thousand dollars My town
property has suffered considerably. Out
of nine houses, three were torn down,
the rest damaged, but now partially re-
paired and rented. left home and went
with the Feds" as they called them
here. After the war | came back, and
set up Tin -shop--and have learned the
trade.
My tailoring trade was worthless, so
useless, thai tioy are making Presidents
of the stock Nv old boss that learned
my trade with, has possession of the
White House at Washington. But 10
not envy him | would not exchange
places, as ] feel happier pounding tin
And human happiness is Of more value
than gold or empty honors.
In the first place, all is remarkably
pcaceable We have very little law, and do
not need any-for by general consent,
every one is behaving, and gone to work
in earnest The fact is, it had reduced
down to one single question, viz: bread
and meat You never saw men go to
work in New England like the people
here worked, last year, and will again
this. God grant it may 60 on; if SO we
will come out" We need mnch here;
we need men Of enterprise and experience
to manufacture.
There is one great drawback to men
from the North coming South; it is that
they deem il insecure. Not bit Of 1t
Any other Northern man will be as safe
here, in person, or capital invested, rs
you are in New Haven. Some fool may
occasionally do rash thing. and it gets
abroad in the papers-and like the story
of the three black crows" the farther
it goes the bigger it gets a man may
knock another down here, and by tho
time it gets to Connecticut, it is described
as renewal of the Rebellion" In my
opinion there could not be corporal
guard raised in this State to renew the
war
Business ofall kinds is fourishng here,
we have s or dry goods stores, all do
ing well, the farmers will soon have their
heads above water again, and instead Of
investing their surplus in" Mig as here
toforc, they must begin to make them
selves comfortable at home. lost s Of
the "Sons Of tiam," and am ready to
give thanks, as the Jews Of old did, when
they goNid OF q pestilencc. Mine never

do better without them than with them
and this is not on" the sour grape princi.
pie" either.
The negroes are here, and are to be
pitied-as not one in twenty is counting
one day ahead. They are shiftless, too
lazy to work, and there is some suffering
among them They are inclined to hud-
die round town, and loll about the streets,
and beg for bread, and get drunk, when
ever they can get whiskey enough.-N

The HONE Press. We clip the follow
ing from the Chicago Republican, and
commend it to the consideration of our
readers:
"What tells 50 readily the standard of
town or city as the appearance Of its
newspaper; and It's youth or age can as
well be defined by the observing, by a
glance at its newspaper, as though per
sonal observation had been made. The
enterprise Of its citizens is depicted by its
advertisements--the iberality by the
looks OF the paper Some papers show
a good solid healthy foundation, pletho-
ric purses, and a well to-do appearance
generally others showing a striving to
contend with the grasping thousands
around them trying to wrench out an ex-
istencc from the close fstcd community
around them. An occasional meteoric
display in its columns Of telegraphc, of
local or of editorial, shows what it would
do if it had the means, but cannot con.
tinue in the expensive work until the sup
port comes which ought to be readily
granted. " A newspaper is like church !;
it wants fostering, and then as general
thing it can and will reflect credit upon
its location. Take your home paper; it
gives you more news Of immediate inter.
est than the New York or other distant
city papers; it talks for you when no 9th
ers will speak in your favor; when other
localities belle you it stands up for your
rights; you always have champion in
your home paper; and those who stand
up for you should certainly be well sus.
tanned. Your interests are kindred and
equal, you rise or fall together. There
fore, it is your interest to support your
home paper, not grudgingly, but in lib
eral spirit, as a pleasure; not as q dis.
agreeable duty, but as an investment that
will amply repay expenditure,
