ss5@ YoUNG LADY returning to her country home, after a sonblnrn of few mouths in the City, was hardly recognized by her friends. In place of course, rustic flushed face. she had soft ruby complexion of almost marble smooth ness, and instead of twenty-three she really ap peared but eighteen. Upon inquiry as to the cause of SD great a change she plainly told them that she used Circassian Balm, and considered it an invaluable acquisition to any Lady toilet. By its use any Ladyor Gentle man can Improve their personal appearance an hundred fold. It is simple in Its combination, as Nature herself is simple, yet unsurpassed in it's efficacy in drawing impurities from, also healing, clea nsing and beau;ifying the skin and com plexion.

Spurious Radicalism.

In dealing with great public evils, we believe neither in the policy of tolerance nor of intolerance. Genuine radicalism refuses to tolerate abuses, no matter how venerable and how hedged about with stat utes. When, however, radicalism becomes engaged in actual conflict with conserya- tive intolerance, it is insensibly led into re- talatory measures utterly foreign to it's true spirit and interest. Every Protestant now regrets that tolerant Professionalism, becom- ing heated in it's contest with intolerant Romanism, dealt so freely in penal laws, d1sfranc chisements, and confscations. To the spurious species of American radical ism which calls for extensive hangings, con- hscations, and disfranchisements we make the same objection. It may be proper to turn these favorite weapons of our oppo- nents against them to certain extent; but 1t seemst to us very dangerous, very in consistent, very unnecessary mode of war fare, under existing circumstances. It was with great regret that we saw Mir. Horace Greedy, short time since, lose all chance of becoming Senator of the United States, by proclaiming and adhering to the reconstruction programme of Universal Suffrage and Universal Amnesty" He was right Tn principle, and Congress has ulti- mateiy settled the question on nearly that ,. basis. Opposed to this is the Old Testa- 'ment style of radicalism, which possesses Mr. Benjamin F. Butler more violently, per haps, than any other American It calls De- riodically on the President to hew our American Agag to pieces "before the Lord;" it seeks to extirpate rebellion by extirpating rebels; it proposes, especially, to divide their estates among the Lords chosen people, after the manner of Joshua the son of Nun.
 Now, if Jefferson Davis could be proved guilty of murdering Union prisoners, he should have been tried and executed long ago. Hanging him as a traitor, would be a miserable political blunder. If the re- construction measures of Congress suc- ceed as they bid fair to do, there will be nothing left of Seeessionism but a senti- ment; and the surest mode to keep alive that sentiment and make it dangerous, is 10 furnish 1t with martyr With the ex- amples or European history before us, can
 we make such mistake9
 IS confiscation necessary? The Southern srllstocracy, the real traitor, has lost four- hfths of its property already. Is that pen
 atty too light? Is further disfrancb;so
 ment necessary The politicians who engineered the rebellion are now disfranchised, and would not a dis. franchisement of one half of the Southern people be much more dangerous than use. fnl? Itwould seem to us almost certain to ensure reaction and counter-revolution that might undo all that has been done to-

Reconstruction,

The temper of the Southern people re garding reconstruction is more hopeful thar it has been at any time since Lee. surrender. They are not greatly delighted with the Reconstruction Act; but they ait evidently intending to make the best O what they consider an extremely bad bar gain, to throw aside their sullen obstinacy and enter. heartily into the work of recon struction.
 The most hopeful indication is that O. the probable formation of two parties, not unequally balanced. The white Union el ement of the South was thrown into such { hopeless minority during the heat of actua. warfare, and was so completely overslaugh. ed under the Presidents plan that they have never heretofore felt strong enough to attempt anything politically. Now, how ever, the case is different; many white reb- els are disfranchised the whole black pop ulation is enfranchised, and the Unionists are bestirring themselves to take the lead of the latter, and defeat the class of politi- clans who have so long ruled the South, at the polls. The Southern aristocracy, on the other hand, is waking up to the con- test, andwe have the curious spectacle of the old slaye-holder bidding eagerly against the Northern abolitionist, for the votes of the men whom two years since he was buy ing and selling as merchandise. A Repub- ican party is already organized in North Carolina. The great planters are holding joint meetings with prominent negroes, and every thing betokens lively contest.
 In short, the negro race holds the bal ance of power in nearly every state south of Virginia; and they are now being court ed .nd fattered exactly as the Working men" were courted and fattered during our late campaign. The result it is impossible to anticipate. While. however, we are by no means indifferent to the success of the Republican party. South; we feel sure that the great end in view will have been ac- complished even if it is defeated in ey cry seeded State The men who may take
 
 their seats in Congress or State Legisla- lures, representing in part a negro con- stituency and dependent on negro voters for their position, cannot afford to do in justice to those voters. They may secretly despise them, but they will not dare op- press them, or attack the government which made them free.
 How powerful defence the ballot will prove to the freedman, the few weeks which have passed since he was given it, abun- dantly show. Before that time, he was a political non-descript, half slave, half free man; now, his whole manhood stands con- fessed, and his old master solcits that good will as favor, whichshe before demanded as right. If the Southern aristocracy treat the blacks fairly, they are very like to get their political support; but to get it they must deserve it, and when they de- serve it, the reconstruction question is set tied. In any event, we think it will soon be established, that as Emancipation con- quered Rebellion, so Universal Suffrage has drawn it's sting
