industry, energy, now the reaction must
be from the running this economy and
into an extreme of materiality.
This must be done, but the other not
left undoue and neglected. Let this re-
action be US deep and thorough as the
first has been and methinks, grand and
glorious literature will arise among our
people, pure and lofty, as some towering
monument of Pariau marble, beauteous
ornament to the nation, an unfading
memorial of our history. And us its
cleaning summit seems to rest among
the clouds upon its sides will be emhlaz-
oned in characters of immortal life and
light, the record of our past
'Tis in the cause of education at last,
that we arc speaking again. 'Tis now
tho duty of patriotism to give mighty
impetus to this always holy cause. The
genius of the South must be aroused.
The State has need of hor SONS to vim
dicate her past, to act her future. To
record her past glory for the guidance
and pride of her postcrity, and to make
her future as bright. Our own literature
must be the monument to tell our histo.
ry. Let us to work then, and give the
cause Of education such start that we
may soon have literature, worthy to re-
cord, that past, which is all glory, and to
reflect it's brightness, adown the stream of
time, The Iliad of our woes, is rcplcte
with its warriors, its Hectors, we want
now but tho Homer, the immortal bard,
to render it immortal
Our newspapers TEEN with accounts of
heroic industry and energy, displayed in
the effort TO rebuild ruined honest eads
and restore our PROSTATE agriculture
Even women, the best and fairest of our
land, have proved themselves heroines in
this cur material restoration. With
their own hands they are tilling the soil
and making cotton. Now when the in-
tellectual reaction comes, these our wo-
men, will alike distinguish themselves in
the fields of literature. Oh noble wo-
man always ready to act her own heroic
part in whatever field her petty masters
choose! Man goes to war, and she de-
prives herself of her jewels, her comforts,
to pay its cost she becomes the minis.
tering angel in the hospital and upon the
groaning battle field. Is he victorious,
her radiant smile is the brightest need
of the cnnqucror. 'Tis SHE who twines
the laurel wreath. Is lie defeated, her
tears Of holy and thrilling sympathy,
wash away the bitter memory. Amid
the scenes of peace, when he would rear
again the altar of his home, and restore
his wealth, see her, with her own taper
fingers, toiling for him whom she was
made to bless
Let us turn our thoughts to rearing n
distinctive Southern literature, and we
will have Mulbacks, and Stoves and
Fanny Ferns of our own.
The South has it's own distinctive his
tory, its own idyls, its own suggestive
poetry, its own habits of thoughts. She
wants her own literature to be the me-
dium of their expression, the archieve of
their deposit.
The intellectual reaction must come.
Let us see TO it that out of its enthusi-
asm, pure and noble literature of our
own shall be inaugurated.

a myth to almost every one She

She did not rise, when the children

face and sunken eyes, fully proved
the expression. Mrs johnson looks
much older than the President, and
her age does exceed his by a few
swings of the scythe of time. She
was never beautiful, but an observer
would say, contemplating her-a
noble won an" Gods first, best gift

to mind at this time, that it was

the parties put in possession. About

FRIESD Bos This Circular will tell you
what has been done for three days past The
sales of cotton to-day were 1850 bales, at
25@254 for ordinary 2e@2Gi for for good
ordinary 27@274 for low middlng; ESQ
2s4 for middling, and Esq for strict mid
ding. The flctors are pretty firm in their
demands. The falling off in receipts at the
ports is so marked that many begin to think
the crop will fall short of the estimates
The probabilities are that the price will
not go much lower until the present crop is
sold. But planters will act "isely, thiuk,
to sell at present rates rather than think Of
holding over until next season. II is said
they have no use for the money, and cotton
is easily kept-all of which may be true
Suppose instead of keeping the cotton they
should invest Sloo 900 in each county in q
cotton factory, if well managed, it would
pay much be ter profit than the cotton
stored ia some shed, or barn, where the ne
groes could steal large portion of it, oil
burn it all, if they couldn't steal it.

have been kept under cover throughout
from the opening of the week. Some disap-
pointment has been felt Mt the apathy exhib-
tied in Liverpool on receipt of adYices of the
heavy falling off in receipts on this side last
week, out holders have come to look upon
the matter of still higher prices as merely a
question OF time; aud being in condition to
meet the worst that may come, they seem
perfectly indifferent as to the disposition of
buyers. Occa ionally, however, parties have

WASHINGTON, March 3.--Mr.
Johnson publishes two column al,

successor. Mr.. johnson says he
would have achieved much more

to cooperate with parties who de
sired to carry on the Government
outside of the Constitution. He
does not regret any of his actions,
all having in view the restraint of
Congress within the limits of the

Events have proved the correct

first and subsequent messages. The
woes which have followed the rejec
ton of forbearance, magnanimity
and constitutional rule are known
and deplored by the nation.

cation in retiring from the most ex
allied position in the gift of tree
people, to feel and to know that in q
long, arduous and eventfu' public
life, my action has never been in

have I received any bribe to blind

No responsibility for wars tina

We are grati6ed that our li'tle, but heart

met the approval of our able contemporary
of that place, The Citizen. Our amiable
young brother, Bosworth, of that paper
calls his town, we see, the City of the Ce
lestials," in alluson to its identity of name
with that of a great city of the Central
Flowery Empire" This reminds US of what
Gen. VIM. T. Haskell, of Tennessee, said
once, in speech to the ladies and gentle.
men of Huntsville, Alabama, on the occn-
sion of the completion of the Memphi, and
Charleston Railroad. So charmed was he
with the beauty and hospitality of the place,
ne absolutely told them that when his
time come to die, and he should be prepared,
rs he hoped to be, to go 20 Heaven, that
" city of the skies, he intended to pray 10
the Almighty Father, before his depa rturc,
for perm lion to proceed TO the Better Land
by The ucay Of HuntsUtiie, and to be allowed to
remain there several days, before going on
to his celestial destination !" Huntsville
and Canton are both beautiful places-"half-
