Knapsack or carpet-bag-whioh /,

- THEODORE Tlros, in the last number OF
the Independent, alludes to the universal
bad odor in which the carpet-bagger is held
throughout the South as an indubitable
proof of rebel contumacy, and gently warns
us to have q care lest, in casting out the
hated carpet-bag, we give pretext for the
introduction Of the dreaded knapsack..
T1LToN's solicitude in our behalf is need
less. The Southern people, certainly, have
nogreat love either for scalawag or soldier
but if they must choose between the de-
grading government Of the one and the bay
onet rule Of the other, we are sure that we F
speak the sentiment Of our whole people in
saying, give us the soldier, by sllmeans. 3

: IT WILL be seen by the debate in the
House Of Representatives, in Columbia, on
the bill to prevent discrimination on account
of color, published this morning, that the
gauntlet has been thrown down at last, and
the issue made fairly and squarely between
whites and blacks This was no unlocked
for event, and it will hasten the inevitable
end. ~

SOMETHING TO Touch THE HEART.-Coleridge
somewhere relates story to this effect Alex
ander during his march into Africa, came to a
people dwelling in peaceful huts, who knew
neither war nor conquest. Gold being offered
to him, he refused it, saying that his sole object
to learn the manners ard customs of the in
habitants. Stay with us, says the chief ''as
long as it pleaseth thee" During the interview
with the African chief, two of his subjects
brought before him for judgment. The
dispute this. The had bought of an
other piece of ground which, after the pur-
chase was found to contain treasure, for which
he felt himself bound to pay. The other refused
to receive anything stating that when he sold
the ground he sold it with all the advantages
apparent concealed, which it might be found
to afford. Said the chief, looking at the one,
" You have a son, and to the other, "you have
daughter, let them be married and the trea-
sure given them as a dowry." Alexander was
astonished. q And what" said the chief,
'would have been the decision in your coun-
try?" We should have dismissed the parties, y
said Alexander, "and seized the treasure for the
Kings use." "And does the sun shine in your
country" said the chief; ''does the rain fall
there ? are there any cattle there which feed up
on herbs and green grassT' "Certainy," said
Alexander. All, F" said the chief, "it is for the
sake of these innocent cattle that the Great Be-
ing permits the sun to shine, the rain to fall,
and the grass to grow in your country
