or than restore the Union on the Consti-
tuition.
They have held and abandoned every
theory Of government, and every polih-
cal opinion:
"In the short space Of one revolving moon,
Was Statesman poet, fiddler and buffoon."
They have been true to their passions
true to their desires true TO their parti-
san interests, but never to the CoDstitu-
ton. They do not understand what it is
to "stand by the Constitution" They
proclaim loudly that the Constitution does
not exist either in theory or in practice
in ten States Of the Union and their
most trusted and able leader, in the full
ness of his contempt for that instrument,
and for the few Republicans who are will
Ing to obey it, declares. in his own choice
language, "that some fragments Of the
old and broken Constitution stick in their
gizzards and trouble them of nights"
Gentlemen, this is the charge we have
always made. They do not understand
what it is to stand by the Constitution.
And it is far this very reason, as we as
sert, that they have clothed our land in
the mourning Of civil war, destroyed our
form Of government, broken down our
guarantees of liberty and loaded US with
this enormous burden Of debt and taxa
ton.
And yet / repeat the advice "stand by
the Constitution" That is the safe, and
speedy and certain remedy. We may
not Immediately be able to restore its au-
thority, but let US at least, never abandon
or degrade it. Its principles of govern
ment are the ark of our safety amid this
food. 1t contains the hope Of the world.
In it is preserved all that is valuable in
tho experience of the past-all that is
susceptible of improvement in the future.

DR.. +. was called on one day to visit
a young man not far from all of our cities,
who had bceL on "plug muss," and
from all indications was likely TO have u
black eye in consequence.
An inquisitive individual had learned
there was something about the young
mans optics, and stopping the doctor on
his return, inquired what the trouble
was.
The learned man informed him that he
found the patieEt suffering from severe
confusion Of the integuments under the
left orbit, with great extravasion of
blood and ecchymosis of the surrounding
cellular tissue, which was in tumied
state. There was also considerable abra.
sion of the cuticle.
The fellow scratched his head, looked
puzzled, and, after slightly recovering,
said:

that; but what is the matter with his

A Startling Event.


For some time, great deal of dissatis-
faction has existed among the freedmen
in the neighborhood Of Columbus, Mis-
slssipri. They had quit work. and left
the fields white with cotton, and would
not pluck boil, the reason given for
such action being that their share Of the
crop would not pay their expenses for the
year, owing to the tax on the staple and
the low price to which it had fallen. As
soon as they refused to work, as matter
of course, they had to leave the planta-
tion and give up their houses to other la
borers who would work. They then took
to the woods, and commenced a system of
indiscriminatc pilfering and stock killing.
About two hundred Of them have been
assembled in the neighborhood Of Colum-
bus, Mississippi, since the beginning Of
the election, and had become perfect
nuisance aud terror to the ncighborhood
At tho request Of the citizens, n compa.
ny OF United States troops have been sta
toned ut Columbus, for the protection of
tho lives and property Of the people
When this baud Of vagabondized negroes
had exhausted the country Of everything
which was stealable. they determined to
make raid upon the town of Columbus
in full force They were all armed. aud
procuring fifc and drum, they marched
into the town, demanding bread. Not
one of them asked for work. they didn't
want that. Bread was all the cry, and
they were about commencing an indis-
criminate robbery, when the United
States troops appeared on the ground and
disarmed them first, and then dispersed
them. The ring-lcadcrs were taken into
custody. What "A scene Of bloodshed
and robbery VIC would have to relate had
it not been for the fortunate presence of
the troops we shuddcr to think Of it,
This is the frst attempt at bread riot
which has ever occurred in the South
but how long it will be until they become
common it takes no far seeing prophet to
forciell The negroes all through the
country are becoming most thoroughly
demornlized under the teachings of the
Radical hyenas, who counsel and incite
them at every fence corner, to their own
destruction. They now, positively, in
many localities, refuse to work; will
make no contracts with planters, fully ex-
pecting the division of land so long prom.
ised them by their Radical leaders. Bands
from three to fifty nre roaming through
Mississippi in every direction, terror
and nuisance, not only to the planter
but 10 the industrious OF their own color.
How long this state of affairs can contin.

Such oil is no more to be used, especially
by servants and children, "than hell is

POETRY.
THREE WORDS OF srRENorH,

THREE WORDS OF STRENGTH.
There arc three lessons would write
Three words as with a burning pen
In tracings of eternal light
Upon the hearts of men.
Have hope. Though clouds environ now,
And gladnoss hides her face In soorn,
Put then the shadow from thy brow;
No night but hath its morn.
Have faith. Whcre'er thy bark Is driven
The calm's disport. the tempest's mirth-
Know this +: God rules the host Of heaven,
The inhabitants Of earth.
Have love. And not alone for one,
And man, as man. thy brother call
Aud scatter, like the eireling SUM-
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave the lessons on thy soul
Hope. Faith and Love-and thou shalt and
Strength when iife's surges cease to roll.
Light when thou else were blind.

SOUTHERN LADIEs.-The following
worthy tribute to the admirable conduct
of tho impoverished Southern ladies' was
elici,ed from the Vicksburg Times, in the
course of an article commenting on the
disgraceful exhibition made recently BY
Mrs. Lincoln
There are in the Southern States thou
sands and tens Of thousands of ladies' who
we're born TO fortune; ladies, who, from
their cradle, were accustomed 10 wealth,
luxury and refinement. They lost their
husbands on the blood. stained field of
battle. and had their fortunes stripped
from them by unbridled power, but we
have not hear that mey turned mcnd-
cants. We know many who have become
teachers. g0verncsses. instructors in
music. aud boarding house keepers. but
not one who has turned Leggar They
have not made n commodity Of their woes.
but like the pure, true. noble and brave
women that they are, they are laboring,
might and main, to support and educate
their fathcrlcss children, and rear up, for
the coming years, race of heroes who
shall not dishonor the memory of their
fathers. God will smile upon such noble
aud heroic efforts The sons that these
Spartan mothers are rearing. will yet add
to their fathers fame, aud the daughters
they are training in the paths of purity.
truth and gentleness, will give additional
splendor to the glories of the coronet
which sparkles upon the broYs of South
ern women"
