IMPRACTICAL sYMpArHY.-A late

IMPRACTICAL SYhlPATHY.-A late
cable despatch ANNOUNCES TINT con-
siderable feeling5has been created in
England, by thesrecent resolutions of
.h4o Uatoa :S.-rss S.@.ss rc,.so Of ;21.spFo-
sentatives, declaring the sympathy of
the nation with the Fenians. The
journals Of London are said to have
editorials on the subject, Which very
severely criticise this expression of
unfriendly feeling towards England.
If the English journals will look at
the proceedings Of the House of Rep
resentatives, on the oath inst, they
will know just how much significance
to attach to the sympathizing resolu-
tions upon Fenianism. On that day
the estimutes in the naval appropria-
tion bill for the fisc,.l year ending
June 30. 1869, were cut down from
$24, 100000 to 100000. 1t is
clear, from an Act like this, that no
hostility, beyond mere words, is in
tended towards the greatest naval
power of Europe. Sympathy is q
cheap commodity, and makes o safe
political investment, which is pro-
badly the only purpose it was in
tended for in the present instance.
The House of Representatives, in
spite of the denunciations of the
London press, will continue to exer-
else the privilege of sympathizing
with the oppressed everywhere, ex-
cept in the Southern States, which,
however. are nowhere.

A NEGRO KILLED oNTHE RAILROAD.
A correspondent of the Charleston
Ne,os, who writes from Ridgeville,
under date of the 28th inst, says:
On the night of January 27, 1868,
colored man was found dead on
the railroad track at this place.
Evidently he made an attempt to
''steal a ride" by jumping on the
butting blocks between two carriages,
and missing to locate himself proper
ly, he fell on the track between two
''caps, with his head on the rail, and
when in this position, the car passed
over his head, breaking it in pieces.
A jury of inquest was summoned by
James M. Cantwell, magistrate,
acting coroner, which rendered O
verdict in accordance with the above
facts.

Friday Morning; ;Jannary 81. 1868,
.nGsrSaSsaee.SS' :,

cadia, in Peloponnesus, was another
favored land called Ellis, famous for
fast horses, but especially famous for
a philosopher by the name of Hip
pias. This remarkable parsonage
was not precisely Diogenes, for his
house was something better than a
tub; nor was lie Solon, for he was
never elected sovereign legislator.
1t is not even. recorded that the ele-
gance of his logic succeeded in win
ming for him the ire of an emperor,
, for he differed widely from the illus
trious Seneca, and the brilliant con-
temporaries, predecessors and sue
cessors of that well-favored but
Il-fated courtier and statesman. In
a word, Hippias was too great an
enthusiast ever to become great in
any other sense, for the best that
history tells us of him informs us
that he only desired to be perfectly
anu literally an independent nun
an aspiration which acquired many
admirers, but very few followers, for
him. He appeared on gala days at
the capital of his country, the OBJ
served of all observers, from the
simple fact that he could boast of
having made the cloak, the tunic, the
shoes he wore-in fact, every vest
ment that adorned and comforted
his person; he made them with his
own hand, and with the determina-
tion of devotee that no man, woman
or child should help him, SO long as
he might help himself. When the
fiery and philosophic South plunged
into the war that has brought ruin
upon the country, believing that she
was to be delivered from political and
commercial bondage, her men and
mothers and daughters determined,
like Hippias, to make within the
borders of their beautiful land every
fabric and form of material essential
to existence, rather than go abroad
to beg or buy. This determination,
however, was not general, though the
inspiration of the resolve had gene
raj effect, and homespun and home
made we're honored everywhere and
fsr above the lnxuries and fineries
that still, somehow or other, found
ready market in the South, run
through the blockade from Yankee
land or Europe. Now, says the Pc
tersburg Express, the spirit is almost
entirely departed from us. Our re-
solve has resolved itself into mir, and
our proud hopes have taken the
shapes of 9ain regrets and useless
repinings. With far greater oppor-
tunities and incentives than ever, we
are idly caressing our prejudices,
permitting the loom and the shuttle
to become silent, the water courses
to waste their forces upon the ocean,
the fields and forests to grow rank
and Improbable, and every source of
industry to languish for tho want of
that nourishment which only our
energy can impart. We curse the
Yankees and still accept their aims,
while God has given us the strength
and health to live for ourselves upon
our soil and by virtue of our own
handiwork. But, perhaps, the times
have not changed greatly since the
days of the Peloponnesian philoso-
phcr.
