future. The war taught us that we
were lacking in mechanical skill, and
to this lack may have attributed our
failure. We must encourage skiltul
mechanics from abroad to make the
South their homes, no matter from
what land they may hail, so they
come to become part and parcel of
us. We must educate our sons in
the mechanic arts; o,ir young men
must apprentice themselves to learn
useful trades, instead of becoming
: statesmen in stores, or Studying for
professions which are already over
crowded. More attention must be
paid to the physical sciences in our
higher institutions of learning. We
must educate our sons and daughters
more with a view to the useful and
less with view to the ornamental
We must have more machinists,
smiths, engineers, etc, and fewer
lawyers, physicians, counter jumpers

We must develop our vast mineral
resources our treasures of iron,

We must avail ourselves of the

facture at least all articles of prime
necessity; our negro women and
children must be made operatives in

thropic Yankees subject their white

We must change our system of

our lands by culture, instead Of de-
stroying them; we must raise

ACCEPT WHAT IS INEVITABLE.
This is the counsel of pretended
friends of the South in the North,
and it appears to be the counsel Of
some recreant SOutherners to their
fallen country. What argument is
there in the ineyitability of things
Sickness and death are inevitable to
mankind, but do we nevertheless
submit acquiescently to the one or
succumb to the other, without an eff
fort to restore our health or prOlOng
our existence? The South is now
threatened with political dissolution;
and death, we are told by the Radi-
Gals, is its inevitable fate. and they
reason from this apparent condition
and fate of the South, that its people
ought to accept this political death
without making an effort to avert it,
as if TO say, we Yankee Radicals will
strike yOu a blow which is designed
to cause your political humiliation
we have determined your fate; it is
no use for yOu to resist it, then, forit
is better for you to acquiesce in what
we do. Better still. if you place
yourselves in such a position as will
enable us to deal YOU the meditated
death blow with more certainty and
success.
This is cool, to say the least Of it,
and it is worth the source whence it
emanates; heartless tyramtS at the
North and craven sycophants at the
South. There is not man of honor
in the North who Will counsel ac-
quiesCence to the meditated dcsyOt-
ism of the military government bill
there is not man of honor III the
South who will willingly subject
himself to its monstrous tyranny.

The Hon. Amos Il. Johnston and
the Hon. Wiley p. Harris have witt
ten letters, which have appeared in
the Clarion, advising the adoption
by the State of Mississippi of the
Constitutional Amendment, admit
ting the negro to the ballot, &c, in
order to get rid of the operation of
Sherman's Military bill. Both these
bills we're vetoed by President John
SOD, as being unconstitutional and
oppressive upon the South. The
arguments of the President remain
unrelated, and,.in our opinion, are
irftfutable.
The gentlemen above named only
advocate the acceptance OF 1.-The
situation to "make the most of a
bad thing" We do not know that
this would accomplish that result.
We had as left be under military rule
as under negro rule. To admit the
thousands of ignorant negroes to the
ballot Is monstrous proposition
which we cannot entertain until we
are convinced that the South will
thereby gain much more than she
will lose. If the measure is forced
upon us by power we cannot resist,
we needs must bear it, but free,
independent and chivalric people Tor
a people that should be all this,)
should not accept and approve a
measure that ensures their own en-
slavement and degradation-a meas
ure that has been pronounced by the
head of the nation as clearly unc0n-
stitutional, and which, it is believed,
will thus be decided by the Supreme
Court of the United States, when
ever the question shall be referred to
that tribunal for adjudication.

The above was written for our last
paper, but, together with other edltO
rails, was omitted to make room fol-
the letter OF Captain Shandy,'
which was delayed in trdaSitU, and
which we could not think of defer

Since that time, we have been
overwhelmed with an avalanche OF
letters. Yerger, and Wharton, and
RObb, have all answered" and are
all on the same side, (Which, of
course, was well known before they
were called upon and all advise the
people of Mississippi to accept the
letters forged for their limbs, and to

learned in the law,-they have for

making the worser appear the bet

particular branch.
After all these letters of " learned
length and laundering sound" how
ever, We are not yet convinced that
our people should make haste to
accept the degrading terms upon
which it is proposed to admit them to
representation in Congress. We feel
less disposed to do this since we are
assured by the MissisSippiaa that
Judge Sharkey, now in Washington,
has telegraphed to Gov Humphreys
for permission to file a bill. in the
name of the State of Mississippi, to
enjoin all proceedings to subject the
people Of this State TO military rule,

and that the Governor replied, giving
the desired anihOrity, Subsequently
the Governor received a telegram
from Judge Sharkey, saying, The
prospects are good" Good for what?
Why, good for procuring an annul-

course. Any other construction of
his language would be absurd.
Ii is well known that Judge Sharkey
has always been a consistent Union
man, and for this reason much

by the Secessonists of Mississippi

the people to adopt the odious Sher-

he is opposed to the acceptance Of this
