A friend of the Association writes
thus: 4st.
This Association. now under process
of formation, is one of the most inte-
resting features of our city. It has for
its object the Improvement of the spi-
ritual, social, moral and intellectual con-
dition of the young men of this city and
its vicinity. Its reading room, which is
to contain not only the religious tracts
and periodicals Of the day, but also, the
best scientific and professional journals,
will offer to all pleasant and profitable
resort. at its regular meetings, which
are to consist of short devotional exer-
oise. reading an essay, remarks thereon,
reports of committees, &C., our young
men will be brought together; gool in
huences thrown around them, and, emo
bling aspirations awakened and cherish.
ed. Moreover, it is an organization de-
signed to extend the hand Of kindness to
the stranger as he enters our cities. To
put q young man in position to help
himself, by securing for him place of
honest industry, We consider the truest
act of friendship. Many young men, in
coming to our city, have not the means
to command place where they are en-
tirely comfortable, and for want of the
comforts that are denied them, they are
driven to haunts of dissipation, and step
by step. from one vice to another, until
they are almost beyond reach of recla-
nation. Such young men are a special
object with the Association. It seeks
them out. introduces them to it's privi-
leges and throws around them its infu-
ence. Who can place limit to the
amount of good that may be accomplish
ed by such an organization properly
conducted? We are glad to learn of the
complete formation of one among us,
and we extend to the young gentlemen
our warmest sympathies and best wishes
for success. No doubt, the interesting
exercises which they offer to the commu-
nifty on Friday evening next, will be very
largely attended.

The Living writers OF the South

Happening in at the book store of
Messrs. Duffy & Chapman, my attention
was attracted by book with the above
title. A perusal of this volume hos given
us so much pleasure that we desire others
to participate in our enjoyment. This
book, of some 600 pages, contains
sketches of near 800 Southern authors,
with specimens of their writings. It is
replete with items of history, and espe-
ciaIly of the late war. TO have the
Conquered Banner" the "Jacket of
Gray" and such pieces, in a permanent
form, is OF itself sufficient to repay the
cost of the book. j. Wood Davidson,
the author, has displayed great good
taste and powers of criticism in this
work, which must have cost him much
labor. A perusal of this book tends to
make one proud of the South, and espe-
ci&lly of our own State. CRITIC.

ST. Crispin.

Miss G.-"But her grand father was q
shoe maker. She may be pretty and
amiable. but think Mr.. L. is lowering
himself by such marriage. Tho shoe
maker, if he does take care of soles, pur-
sues the humblest and least honorable
of all vocations."
Let us see if lie deserves to be thus
derided. The awl and the last can boast
of divines. philosophers, poets, linguists
in short, of great men in every field of
few Of the disciples of Crispin: Samuel
Drew, A. NJ, q shoemaker, has been
called the English Plato; George Fox,
the founder of the Society of Friends
was n shoemaker, and it has been said
that England aud the world are, to this
day, covered with the monuments of his
useful labors. DIR. Carey-who trans
lated the New Testament into many of
the Eastern languages; DR.. Morrison,
the great Chinese scholar, and DR..
Horne, the author of the Critical Intro
duction to the Study of the Sacred Writ
ings, were shoe makers So, also, were
Clifford, the editor of the Quarterly,
the accomplished scholar and critic, and
Bloomfield, the author of the celebrated
poem, the Farmers Boy" of whom
Henry Kirke White-another humble
child Of genius-not shoe maker, but
the son of butcher, thus wrote:
"Bloomficld! thy happy omencd name
lnsures continuance to thy fame
Both sense and truth this verdict give,
While fields shall bloom, thy namo shall live. !"
Our own annals, too, will furnish some
INDUSTRIOUS names in vindicntion of the
opinion expressed by an English author,
THAT the shoe makers craft seems to
have been noble craft for great minds. :"
l will only mention Roger Sherman, n
signcr of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. He was one of the committee
appointed to prepare that celebrated
paper, and Mr.. Jefferson remarked of
him, that che never said foolish thing
in his life."
But close. My purpose is simply to
vindicate tho craft against the aspersions
of Miss g., and not to urge that the
whole world should become shoe-makers.
There is also danger in too earnest
and too eloquent advocacy, and I am ex-
horted to forbearance by remark of
Sir Philip Sidney. that there was rid
lng-master at Vienna, who expatiated 50
eloquently on the qualities of the noble
animal he had to deal with, that he was
almost persuaded to wish himself horse.
Leigh Hunt says that, ut one time, the
people of London were SO transported

The Bridgeport (Conn.) Fmmer-a

lows on the letter of Parker PilIsbury
on the condition of the negroes in this
State:
"The whole document is devoted to
the exposure of the mighty evils which
have grown out of the reconstruction
schemes of Congress and the false,
scandalous and pernicious doctrines and
shameful practices of the Republican
party. The negro he admits to be de-
graded to below the level of brute, but
to him, in the light of the example set
before them by his own party friends,
'it seems absolutely complimentary that
they have done no worse. Such con-
fessions, from such q source, would be
encouraging did they not give rise to the
fear that the evils set on foot by radical
imbecility and wickedness aro abso-
lutely irreparable. +"

Tho Attitude OF Virgtnia-Benutyn and
tn- tine Beast.

When Virginia adopted the conserva-
tive role and thereby overcame extreme
radicalism, We regarded her as STOPPING
to conquer, and found no occasion to
mite in the criticism which some Jour
nails visited upon her: She has gone
very far to secure adlnission into the
Union. She has complied with all the
exacting demands made upon her. She
has gone before the President in the at
titude of an humble suppliant, and craved
the continuance of his kind protection.
We thought this was enough. To bow
her lofty head before Congressional and
Executive power-this was, we hoped,
to fill the cup of her humiliation. But
we were mistaken. Another and greater
humiliation was in reserve for the "Old
Dominion mother of States and
statesmen" This was to .bend the
pregnant hinges of the knee" before B.
T. Butler, the Chairman of the Recon
struotion Committee of the House of
Representatives. The Richmond Dis
patch contains a long and detailed ac-
count of the visit of committee of the
Virginia Legislature to the President and
then to General Butler. This committee
informed General Butler of the faithful
manner in which the people OF Virginia
had complied with the demands of Con-
gress. and hoped that General Butler
would be satisfied, and that Virginia
., glorious consummation!-woul be
forthwith admitted. But General B..
was suspicious. Georgia had played him
a trick. Tennessee had done the same.
He was not to be fooled again. He must
have more distinct pledge. Promise,
said he to the Committee, upon your
sacred honor, as Virginia gentlemen; de-
clare before high Heaven, that you won't
play us trick, and we will let you in.
Otherwise. we will shut the golden door
OF the Union right in your face. The
Committee retired, complied with the
demands of General Butler, and were
assured that their State would be ad
mitted. Grant told the Committee, in
effect, that he hoped Virginia would be-
have herself we'll in the future. Butler
demanded pledges for her good behavior.
We do not know how the people of Vir-
ginia will look upon the course of this
Committee. But did such q Committee
speak for South Carolina as this Com
mittee did for Virginia, we would de-
nounce their action, and hang our head
in very shame. When we read this in
terview between the Virginia Committee
and Bntler, we thought of Virginia's
grand history and of Buffers inglorious
record. 1t was Beauty and the Beast.
Alas for Virginia! The Richmond papers.
it is said, are playing diplomatic game.
Heaven save us from diplomacy like this.
The Richmond papers teem with appeals
for material development. This is well.
But it will be cad day for Virginia when
she allows degenerate sons of hers to Law
her history, her dignity. her honor, her
pride upon the altar of the almighty
dollar"

Although the eruption
is not SO violent now, the volcano is o
fearful sight to behold. The rivers of
lava still flow, and the smoke from the
crater ascends in awful majesty. During
this volcanic upheaval it has been very
sickly here. A peculiar sort of low ma

foul, condensed vapors of the volcano,
has prevailed to an alarming extent, and
at one time it was feared it would demo-
pulate the island. But fortunately, sea.

a steamer was despatched to San Fran

obtained as soon as possible. From that
moment the scourge was stayed. Not
