The New Year.

The New Year is upon us. To-day ne enter
upon 1885. Let US consocrate it by new resolves
to be wiser and better, moro energetic and moro
hopeful. Otherwise time, which is galloping along
SO rapidly with its fiery :stecds, will bring us to
the end of our journey long before NC are pre-
pared for the certain and unavoidable exodus.
Here We nre, and horc VIC must romain rs long
as God plssses. It IS folly then to be always
mourning over past and present mi,fortunes, and
to be forever vilifying tho world by calling it a
"yale of tears" and place of misery and abomi-
nation generally. A man who does this is not by
an, means in the beat condition forheaven With
all due Difference to John Bunyan and his iinmor-
tai Allegory, VIC protest against looking uponthis
life os painful and burdonsome journey, along
which We are to hurry, sighting. abusing and
undertaking everything about us. In the first
place 1t Is not respectful 70 the One who placed
us here; snd then it is foolish, unreasonable, un-
philosophical.
The traly Mise and christian man, having; ;sst-
tied upon sound religious principles, and included
in the plan Of his life constant reference to
what liss beyond, will throw all the forco'of his
being into the busiiress, psasurcs snd pursuits Of
ths life He will get out of it ell that is possible
he will u-. oil hs resources ns not sbusing them,
His uir will be to rescue the good things Of thi,
world from tho devil; not to resign them and
beat a cowardly retreat. He knows it is sbotter
fo- his friends. his fellow men and his own soul
to have death find him enarossod heart and hand
In busy, happy life, thnu to find him tuggins
away from life like tied animal Men do moi
love life and the world too much, but too exclu-
ri7ely. Ar stnsss in hand cannot be performed
too Thoroughly and with too much intensity. II
It is folly to slight tho future it is almost asgrea
folly to slight the present. The man who enjoyt
ersry legitimate pleasure and enters most thor
eughly into all the interests and ercitemonts o.
this life, hss the hsalthiest and most natura
growth, and, other things being equal, is bes
fttsd for shatever may como after. =.
The men Of the Soath must cease 10 look be-
hind. With stout hcnrts thcy must face the future
let tho prospect bo bright or dark.
And the young msn of the South should nevs
forget that in our rich soil lies our stsat wealth
and that their strong arms and industrious labo
are necessary to the development of that wealth
Every young man who is not engaged In goot
business, with acertain End pati,fsctory income
should 20 to the country at once, and make pre-
paration, alone or in association with others, t
produce corn and cotton. Tho rich soil of tn
South is the richest gold mino in the world, an,
even before the war, when wo had more labo
than wo have now, and could control it, we neye
had force enough. by half, to work it. This i'm
mensc mino of wealth must be worked, for upOl
its development depends the increase Of ou
) wealth in every other department.

Upshot of the Constitutional Amend
ment In South Carolina.


Last week no chroncled tho fact that tie Con-
stisutional Amendment had been rejected BY our
House of Representatives, one member alone vo-
ting in its favor. Before the expiration of the
session The Senate rejected it without dissenting
voice.
We are extremely gratiHcd to make this an
nouncemcnt Even if this Amendment were put
forth by the Republicans as hnality-whch is
no: the case-still tho Southern people would be
i.c to cyery sentiment of honor and right feel
ing if they consented to adopt it. by adopting
It, they would sink themselves far lower than con-
tempt could reach them; for they know, or ought
to know by this ;imc, that not even thi, measure
of establishment would appeasc the vindictirc-
nos, of the Radicals and that the next step in
the programme, as is openly proclaimed. would
be negro suffrage. In short they know that the
Ra lcal. do not in;cpd 10 admit the Sou lcrn
S,acs till after the next Presidential election If
ever, unless they can 20 constyue the Amendment,
;f'passed, as to imply negro suffrage, and then
by appropriate legislation" suforcc it, so that
they can control the elections and retain their
pow,r. This bung so evidently the Gaze, South
Carolina has donc wisely and we'll to spurn such

The EMPRESS CARLorrA.-Some Of the
papers belonging to the sensation organization
published, short time ago, what purported
to be a cable despatch, announcing the death
of the unfortunate Empress Carlot'a. Tn
following, from subsequent New Ycrk date
explains the matter:
A despatch. protesting to have teen trans
mitted through the Atlantic cable, but in re-
ality coming from an irresponsible and un
authorized source in the city, and published
exclusively in several journals not belonging
to the Associated Press. announces the death
of Princess Carlotta. No such despatch ha.
been received in this city, and tae statement
therein contained is cruelty false and utterly
spurious. 1t has the appearance of having
been only concocted merely to create a SEN
sation, and the papers which printed it arc
unfortunate in the bad pre-, commence they
have acquired by publishing exclusively news
of such character.

general emancipation in Braz-at least, it is
so regarded by the Abolition party of the
Empire. This being the case, those intend
ing to emigrate might as well remain at home,

of Brazil to that now carried on at Washing
