Of living light in the chapters OF the
glorious but unsuccessful struggle Tor
Southern independence. Every South
ron is familiar with the history OF that
glorious day, when handial OF heroes
inspired to fresh deeds of daring by the
smoke which rose from the homes oil the
proud little town of Fredericksburg
stemmed the tide Of Northern INVASION
and drove back in foul rout the over
whelming hordes who, with desperate
but futile efforts, strove to trample down
the thin ranks of men who were lighting
on their own soil, in sight Of their own
homes and firesides, and whose motto
was God and Liberty.

oUR pAUPER SYSTEM.

In country where tnere are nliii'o"S
of acres Of the most productive land on
earth, there should be no panpers.
America is that country. Except those
who are manned, or otherwise rendered
incapable of supporting themselves, there
should be no paupers among US. Sup
port of animal life is wrung from the soil
Every human being derives his living
from it. Those who do not actually en-
gage in the work of producing that which
sustains life, are required to handle,
transport and change the form of that
which is produced. Hence, cities are
built and filled with men and women.
Unless their services are required for
this purpose, they fail to find employ
ment and become what the world styles
paupers, or persons supported by the
labor of others. Now, in the vast rich,
and comparatively uncultivated South,
there is employment for every one who
is not physically incapacitated for labor.
Help is wanted to cultivate the farms.
Help is wanted to perform household
and other indispensable work. Lands
are cheap, and invite settlement They
promise not only a living-they promise
independence Whoever goes upon them
may become afluent, may become luxu-
rious. The brawny turner of the sod and
teller of the forest may become slip
pered and gowned gentleman, possessing
q bank account, horses, dogs, and atam.
lily of blooming children. he may go
, into the Legislature, upon the bench, in
the forum-anywhere. The Presidency
itself may be reached The poor woman
who stands shivering about the streets,
may find employment and warm home
in the country. The ragged urchin-
bereft of parents, friends and protection,
may become a millionaire, and control
money, lands, opinions and men.
But what do we see2 We see every
American city thronged with paupers !;
and we see the laboring part of commu-
mites taxed to support those who are too
law to work. In Europe, from which
we derived our pauper laws, there is no
outlet for the poor. They hover about
cities from necessity. Those who are
fortunate enough to find employment are
compelled to support them. In this
country there is no occasion for pau
per system, as every one can find en-
ployment We have negro paupers,
something unknown to the era Of slavery.
They hang about the cities when the
country invites their labor and offers
them subsistence and homes. They are
too lazy to work. Shall the industrious
classes toll for their support2 Thou
sands of white people prefer to beg and
starve in the cities, rather than stain their
pauper hands with labor. Every dollar
contributed to such persons is wrong
to the laborers. They should be sent
to the country, and compelled to initiate
the industrious, or suffer the consquen-
ces of improvidence Our poor and
pauper laws are not founded on ju stice
They are carnations of mercy. We
think they should be abolished.

Third Cabinet Circular.
To all Mexican Corps relative to the Soldiers
of French Nationality:
The Marshal Commanding in Chief
has received telegram from Paris, dated
January 18th, inst, expressing the in
tent:on of the French Government to
return to France, not only the French
Legion, bu all soldiers of French ma.
tionality, who were formally authorized
to enroll themselves with the service of

of these soldiers who, having that knowl-
edge of this circular, desire to remain in
the service of Mexico, they are author
lied to do so, and to remain in the corps
to which they actually belong As to
the French, whatever is their actual rank
in the Mexican army, officers, non-com-
missioned officers or privates manifesting
desire to discontinue serving Mexico,
and who are yet attached to the French
corps, will be transferred into the For
eign Legion, where they will have their
former rank; and as to the others, they
will be returned to their country at the
cost of the French Government Conse-
ouently, there will be made in each
Mexican corps q nominal report of all
Frenchmen serving in said corps, which
report will be forwarded to the Marshal
commanding, after each soldier will have
written opposite his name, the action by
him voluntarily taken, if he is deter
mined or not to remain in the Mexican
service. The soldiers taking the first
determination will join themselves to the
nearest French detachment at the first
secure occasion which will offer itself.
