OUR NATIVE LAND FOREVER.

The last number we have received of
the New York Record aud Vindicator
contains an excellent article on the sub
ject of emigration from the South. 1t
records with sadness the fact that many
four best citizens are going to foreign
lands under the hope OF bettering their
condition; severing all the ties that have
bound them since their birth to their
native land, and trusting themselves to
an nncertain future among strangels.-
The Record advises our people to cling
to their homesteads to the last. And
why should they not? This lying to
ills 'that we know not off" is neither
rational or manly. Ht lt H
There is no condition on earth more
depiorable than that of the eXile-tlie
man who leaves his native land not be-
cause lie prefers another, but because he
breads the presence of the tyrant at
home. Such u man goes not forth as
the hardy pioneer, enthusiastic with the
thought of conquering the wilderness
and founding new states. He is not q
Columbus, but an 4Eneas-not an III
dOmitable searcher after new worlds,
but a melancholy, complaining man,
holding his palms aloft towards heaven,
and with thoughts ever reverting back
IN the direction OF lost IllilIm, instead of
forward to the new field before him.
such man Is curse to himself and the
country to which he goes. In the new
and bnsy scenes where his lot will be
cast, he will prove unequal to the task
before hlm-he will be run over and
crushed into want aud obseurity be-
cause he looks backward instead of for
ward. 'uad
Every wise man before he emigrates
will ask himself the question: siAm |
adapted to the work that is before ne?"
1t he has allowed his spirit to be brok-
ell by Radical oppression he may safely
make up his mind that he has not the
proper spirit to fight the battle of life
surrounded by new scenes and new peo-
pie, laws and customs. Let such man
stay at home-stay even if Radicalism
is to ride him for life, and he can hope
only to make bare subsistence. Once
abroad, re viii find that he has left the
frying paa only 10 get into the fire.
But there is no reason for the South
ern people to leave their homes. We
can eventually control the south it we
remain true to ourselves. 9."
We still have a soil and climate of
which God made no duplicates. Weare
still owners Of the soil and our own fol-
ly alone can dispossess us. We fear
not contiscatiJn, for in the last resort
We will pay back confiscation with as
sassination. ,..l.
Wealth is power and the development
OF that which lies in the lands of the
South is mere question OF tine..-
Whatever white men hold possession
the cotton lands of the South at the end
OF the next ten years at the fufthest
will hold power.
Let US, therefore, cling to- cur native
laid Let it be made test of patriot
ism and loyalty to tile SoItthto do so.-

A aHosT-OR SOMETHING IN PRINCE
WILLIAM COUNTY.

(Correspon dence ofthe Alexandria Gazette,
PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY Va, Dec. II
1t becomes my duty to chronicle most
singular and extraordinary series oil
nocturnal visitations on the part oi
some ghostly apparation, to the tarm oi
one whom shallcLll Silas Brown, Esq.
a peaeable and intelligent citizen of this
county. Mr.. Brown lives III what is
known rs the forrest of Prince William
neaI; the village of Independent Hill,
ana his residence is completely sur
rounded with the growth Indigenous to
that section OF tile county.
For the past few weeks visions of an
alarming character have been seen IN
the neighboring forest, but more par
ticularly in the copse adjacent to Mr..
Browns barn and stable. AT numbers
| of times has an immense figure been
seen passing to and fro near the barn,
| with large horns and terrible claws
| which it contracts to sort of hoof, and
has assaulted Mr.. Brown when he at
tempted after dark to feed his stock,
IN such a manner and with such vio-
lence, that he has been compelled to flee
to his house for safety, The figure to
the best of Mr.. Browns recollection,
seemed about thre times as large as
man in its front, and having a back
conyerglng from its neck and shoulders
horizontally to the distance of some
six or eight feet, and supplied ON each
side with huge aud tremendous arms.
1t is of a pale, blueish color whenfirst
Sc N, but being irritated by the near
approach OF any person, becomes dead
white, and issue from its surface small
volume of smoke, accompanied with
sickening smell. This ghnoul, or un-
natural or horrid animal or demon, has
been seen as often as four times near
Mr.. Brown S stable, and when seen it
has fingered until its deadly etluvia has
completely impregnated the surround
ing atmosphere. One evening Mr..
Brown desiring to have another beside
himself see this terrible visitant, induc-
ed courageous gentleman, whom am
going to call Sigcr, not believing the
story went without hesitation, when,
med by the fall, at or near his feet, with
a deep rumbling sound, of tremen-
dous stone. Mr.. Siger without looking
the stone up, and it WIS so hot he was
compelled to drop it; upon looking up
he beheld the unearthly monster not
over fifty yards from him, and the air
became quickly filled aud inoculated
with birthstone. C) Not wishing to be
thought coward, he did not mention
anything of this at the house, but upon
walking home with his wife the same
night, he told her ofwhat had happened
at the stable, and instantly she became
alarmed, and was carried home in
state OF apparent insensbility.k
The ,neighborhood is in terrible state
of excitement, and steps have been ta-
ken to investigate this frightening mat
tel.
(All of which sounds like a-curi-
GUS story.

woULDN'r MARRY A MECHANIC.

A young man commenced visiting q
young woman, and appeared to be well
pleased. One evening he called when
it was quite late, which led the young
lady to enquire where lie had been.
IL had to work tonight"
What do you work for living? she
inquired with astonishment.
Certainly, replied the young man, /
am u mechanic.
| dislike the name of mechanic, and
she turneaup her nose.
That was the last time he visited that
young lady. He is now wealthy man,
and has one of the best women in the
country for his wife.
The lady who disliked the name of a
mechanic is now the wife of miserable
tool-a regular vagrant about grog
shops and the soft, verdant silly, miser-
able girl is obliged 10 take in washing
in order to support herself and her
children.
You dislike the name of mechanic,
eh! You whose brothers are but well
dressed loafers. We pity the girl who
has SO little brains, who is SO Yerdant,
SO soft as to think less of a young man
for being mech2nic-one of Gods no
bleInen-the most honorable and digni-
tied parsonage of heavens creatures.
Beware, young ladies, how you treat
young men who work tor a living, for
you may one day be menial to one Of
them yourself.
Far better to discharge the well-fed
pauper with all his rings, jewelry, braz-
cnness and pomposity, and take to your
affections the callous handed, intelli-
gent and industrious mechanic.
Thousands have bitterly regretted
their folly who have turned their backs
to honesty. A few years have taught
severe lesson.

THE SNEAK TATTLER,

The most odious and disgusting NOR
tai inIhuman torm--when once you pen-
citrate the hypocritical guisc that covers
the deformitv-ls the sneak tattler. In
this thing, which originates in the NOR
al sweeping OF the universe, you will
find inordinance self esteem meanes:
kind OF jealousy, a mine of vanity, ma
lace enough to stock a regiment of
Thugs, a liliputian soul, and heart
black AS Erebus. In treachery Turk
lin moral courseness IA cannibal-in
humanity an Algerine lin selfishness q
shylock and in low cunning an Iago.--
The sneak tattler adroitly and stealthi-
ly commences his dirty work by first
cautiously dropping-here and there an
inuendo in families he is allowed to yis-
it, and if he finds he is listened to, he
then proceeds, step by step, more eiab-
ofately and openly to berate his victim,
generally promising by stating his deep
regrets That things are thus and tre-
quently is loud in giving the assailed
credit in minor matters of little or no
consequence--the more efieetually to
deceive and conceal his purpose-while
he stabs him in the most vital. part, and
always seeks TO cover his polluted tracks
from betrayal under the time-honored
sanction of private confidence.

swEDENBoRGIAN DOCTRINE.

According to Swebenburg, there are
three heavens, consisting of three Or
ders o. angels the first distinguished
tor love, the second for wisdom, and the
last for obedience All angels have
lived on earth; none were created as
SUCH They are men and women in ev-
cry respect; they marry, and live in ci-
ties and countries just as in the world,
but in happiness and glory iaettable.-
All in whom love to God and man is
the ruling passion, go to heaven at
death. Between heaven and hell is
a perfect equilibrium is maintained. :
As there are three heavens there are
three hells, and every angelic society
has an internal antagonist. He'll as a
whole, is called the devil aud Satan /;
there is no such individual bearing thai
name. All in whom self-love is the ru-
ling motive, go to hell. There is no
resurrection of the earthly body. Ev-
cry one passes to his final lot at death;
some make short sojourn in an inter-
mediate State, designated the world of
spirits, where the good are cured of
superficial infirmities and intellectual
mistakes, and the evil reject all their
pretences to good.

THE YOUNG PEOPLE.

A dreary place would be this earth
Were there nolittle people in 1t;
The song Of life would lose it's mirth,
Were there no little children to begin 1t.
No little forms like buds to grow,
( And make the admiring heart surrender
No little hands on breast and brow
To keep the thrilling love chords tender.
No babe within our arms to leap,
Nolittle feet toward slumber tending;
No little knees in prayer to bend,
Or lips the sweet words lending.
What would the mother do for work
Were there no pants or jacket tearing?
No tiny dresses to embroider?
No cradle for their watchfuI caring?
No rosy boys at wintry morn,
With satchel to the school-house hasten
ing:
No merry shouts as home they rush,
No precious morsel for their tasting.
The sterner souls would get more stern,
Unfeeling nature more inhuman,
And man to stole coldness turn,
And woman would be less than woman.
For in that cline towards which we reach,
Through Times mysterious dim unfolding.
The little ones with cherub smile
Are still our Fathers face beholding.

When, in Judea's realm preacher,

And be iii simple guise their teacher.

Were there no babies to begin it;

When the Conference assembled IN
Hills0oro', some years since, ON the last
day OF the session, a lad, whose father
had entertained some half a dozen
preachers, entered the room where the

of excitement.
"What's the matter, Isaac!" asked
one, ''you seem excited"

IMMIGRATION.

migration will be the salvation of
the South. This is an aphoism which
we hear repeated from mouth to mouth
and which we see ma ntained and COM
mended in the columns of the press
throughout the entire Southern country
1t is unquestionably true, that immigra
tion will do much for the southern
country, but to take the broad ground
that is destined to be the salvation of
South, the salvation of her material
strength and resource, is not prudent.
We maintain that the salvation OF the
South is in the hands OF the Southern
people, and the Southern people only.
Immigration may prove to be a great
means and instrument of regeneration,
but the problem which involves the des-
tiny of tue South, ought to be solved
by Southern minds aud hands.-Lynch.
