DON'T LIKE PEACE.

Kentucky is the only State Of the
South that is free Peace and pros
perity reign in all her borders. There
is not wave Of trouble that rolls across
her peaceful Lreasi, unless an apprehen'
sion of having the happy condition
changed by Congress, may be called q
wave Of trouble. But so calm a scene,
so sweet a prospect, is perfectly mad
dening to the Jacobins. The contrast
thus offered to the condition Of affairs in
other border States, where the Radicals
rule, is terribly damaging. Every State
of the South was as calm and peaceful
as Kentucky, when Congress passed the
military bills. From the moment they
went into effect, every thing was changed
Loyal patriots came pouring into the
South swinging on to the coat tails Of
the FIVE Brigadier Generals, TO assist in
organizing Radical party, and convert
ing scene where everything was quiet,
into one full Of horrors and pregnant
with fearful catastrophies. They would
not have peace. Peace would ruin the
Jaeobins in one month and as they
don't intend to be ruined, they don't in
tend to tolerate peace. Kentucky is
happy ROW. but the eye ofthe serpent is
upon her. a. !. -urrrM.

cidents, .rapes, robberies,R maimings,

other crimes and calamities Of great

place in the country fills larger
space than Chicago in the record of
such occurrences, gross injustice is done
to that enterprising and aspiring city,

NO RESPONSE.

Last week we suggested in terms as
strong as we could command, the pro-
priety of taking some steps here to
afford relief to the destitute people South
of us. We hear no response, no echo,
and all remains, as TO that, still, fear
fully still. Nobody proposes q grand
fair, or mammoth festival, big as all out
doors, and flashing and blent with tie
first fruits of the season, the richest
flowers, the prettiest woman, the most
gallant man, and the divinest strains of
music. And this is Memphis, that
sprapg into existence from that hot
house Of cotton, the South. 1t was born
on heap of cotton, rocked in q cradle
of cotton, fed on cotton, grew on cotton,
traded on cotton, waxed great on cot
ton, and, we fear, it must &c
recorded that it grew soullsss on
cotton. There is not an interest,
or pursuit, or business legitimstely car
red on, or necessary to be pursued, that
was not first created, and is not now
sustained by cotton. Every building,
little and big in the city, is the product
of cotton. Cotton laid out these broad
streets, constructed our great railways,
propelled our machinery and put in mo
ton and keeps revolving the great wheel
of our commerce.
Cotton made Memphis, and the people
of the country made the cotton. We
owe every thing we are TO them. When
they come to the city with their cotton,
we feast them, tea them, wine them, and
regale them with music We are wonder
fully solicitous for their comfort We
ask them to have this, that and the
other, and are hurt if they refuse. They
are very well, then. They have pockets
full of greenbacks and don't want any
help. Time passes, salt peter explodes
over the country for four years, the
clouds refuse to come down in show
ers, vegetation withers, and Want,
the grim sentinel Of gigantic Fam
inc, throws wide upen the gates and let's
the monster out The cotton planter,
once so tenderly cared for, is not only
peunyless now, but is starving TO death.
The title heaven and human devas-
tation have left him, is not sufficient
to keey soul and body together Whole
districts cry aloud for help. Woe, and
want sit on the pale faces of the South.

Apropos isthc possibility Of repudlAi

would be any danger, IL the Union were

new "ideas 20 be considered nfs~
Foremost. among these IS conhscauon,
There are grave fears that connsealion
will receive more attention from the
next Congress than II got from the lest
II confiscation comes, then reputation
will be sure TO follow. To take from
Southern men the little they have saved
from the wreck, would be Hat robbery.
Let this be done, and reputation party
will rise in the North. Northern men
will not consent TO be taxed with power

find that confiscation is a dangerous
tool to play with.
Yes, touch the bondholders, and you
touch the vital heart of the North. Touch
the vital heart of the North, and you touch
the living springs Of national greed.
True as the needle turns to the pole,
true as the sunAower turns to the sun,
true as a loving heart turns TO its mate
so true will cenfsoation turn to repudia-
ton. CoLfscation would ruin the North
and the South. 1t would drive the white
population out of the South. With their
lands turned over to their late servants,
and these under the control Of Southern
white loyalists, the famine that now raw
ages the South would appear tame com
pared to that which would ensue Con-
iiscation is meant to, and would, if not
resisted, operate as an extermination OF
the white race of the South. Nothing
more atrocious was ever conceived out

property owner shall first be convicted
by court of justice, Of treason, and
then confscation cannot extend beyond
the life of the owner
If the colored people listen to the

to their hearts the comfortable promise

state of things, disappointment will be
the only fruit they will gather = If any

Uses into their ears, he is either misera-
bly, ignorant, or be is base deceiver.
No colored man now living will ever

hug such delukons. Let them spurn
those who, for personal ends, stuff them
with an infatuation so absurd.
