Our Strength.

The strength of the South rests in
the brawny arms Of her citizens who
till the soil Their shouts to the
laboring OK, to the sturdy plowhorse,
as the bosom of the earth is upturned
to the fruitful kisses of the sun, are
the watch. of progress, and ring
with the stirring trumpet tones of
Liberty.
In the wonderful productiveness OF
our soil in the luxurirs and necessities
Of life, lies the true base of our future
independence and greatness. This is
our resource. 1t has asserted itself
potently in the gloomiest hours of our
history, and so long as the changes of
seasons continue, and Gods promise
is symbolized in the frail arch-the
architecture of the sun and the rain
which spanned the desolation Of a
drowned world, SO long, if we are true
to ourselves, we will sit beneath sour
own vine and fig tree, aud none will
make us afraid"
Among our farmers we find none Of
the faint Of corr upton which pervades
the political atmosphere.
Their noble calling enobles them
above the venality ofthe tines and the
gold-born idolatry of cities, where men
to prey upon each other,
and amid the crash and fall of o govern
ment, Fastening 10 an inbred, prema-
ture decay. with them will be found, in
primitive purity. the principles for
which our fathers fought.
Our immense crops, the last season,
under the disadvantages which beset
the planters, demonstrates the recu-
peratve capacity Of the South and the
energy OF Der people, more positively
and iDdispatably than any triumph we
can gain on the hus,ings Of the polls.

TASTE Nor Drunk Young man,
did you ever stop to think how terrible
that word sounds2 Did you ever think
what misery you brought upon your
friends, when you degraded your man
hood by getting drunk? Drunk how
it rings in the ear Of loving wife
How 1t makes the heart of a mother
bleed! How it brushes out the hopes
Of father, and brings shame and re-
proach upon sisters. Drunk see him
as he leans against some friendly
house. He stands ready to fall into
the jaws of hell, unconscious as to his
approaching fate. The wife, with
aching heart, sits at the window to
hear her husbands footsteps, but they
come not! He is drunk! He is
spending the means of support for
livuor, while his family is starving for
bread, his children for clothing
Drunk His reputation is going, gone!
His friends, one by one, are leaving
him to his fate. He goes down to his
grave "unhonored and unsung."

"A Lost Father and Brother.
From the Pulaski Citisen,]

A Lost Father and Brother.
From the Pulaski Citisen,l
We ask our contemporaries through.
out the Southern States. and especially
those of Tennessee, Georgia, Virginia,
and North and South Carolina, to copy
the following letter from a destitute
and distressed daughter and sister in
search OF her lost father and brother.
Read the letter, and if it does not APP
peal to your sympathies eloquently
enough to induce you to give 1t a wide
circulation, then we are very much
mistaken in the character of the men
who control the Southern press:
PULASKI, GILES Co., TENN.,(
May II, 1859.
Editor Pulaski Gu: en-:
/ desire to ask your assistance, and
that of the Southern press generally,
In finding a loved and lost parent and
q most afiectionate and devoted brother
My father. Benjamin Boulden, was a
school teacher in the county of'Cocke,
in Eastern Tennessee, and was known
as rebel. On account of his honest
conviction in favor of Southern indie
pendence. he was driven from home,
and his family robbed Of everything
they had. The last We heard of him
he was in North Carolina. He is ma
live of Charlotte County, Va, and
made that his home dnring the latter
part of the war, but l have written to
postm asters and others in both States,
and have MT been able to hear any
thing whatever from him. My brother
(Thomas) was rebel soldier, and
was wounded in the left shoulder at
Fort Donelson; he came home, and
after getting well, joined Capt. WASH 8
company, was made first lieutenant,
and served during the war. After the
surrender, be- came home and remained
there quietly until June, when the same
delnoniac spirit drove him away, which
prompted an East Tennessee Union
mob, to which Kuklux or even devils
(forsive me!) are saints, to rush my
poor old father away from his helpless
family, and then rob them like insa-
tate fends. My brother went to
school at Sand Hill, North Carolina,
for :. while, but the last we heard Of
him he was in Georgia. After wait
ing, and watching, and praying for
their return, 0, ever so many weary
lays and weeks and months, with no
tidings, no friends to help us. and no
lies to bind us to our once loved home,
We moved to Giles County, and hope
~ the grace Of God and the assistance
II friends, to exc out some kind of
wing until Meir return, or tidings of
some kind reach us from them. Ny
atller and brother were each six feet
high, and Of fair complexion Father
vas an atlectionate and devoted man to
lis family, and was himself beloved by
ii who knew him. His smile was the
oy of my own young life; his bounty
Implied my wants, and his love strew-
d my path with flowers. How justly |
nay / say my happiness lies buried
nth him if he is dead. l have a blind
lother, two sisters and a brother here.
We are in helpless condition, dest-
ute of all Of the comforts of life
mong strangers, without friends or
honey. If you can have sympathy
or family in this condition, please
ssist me in finding the loved and lost
mes. l cannot write more. Bear with
lie and help me if you can.

Mr.. Summers speech on the Alabama
question is the popular topic fthc day
with the English journalists. The ca.
bic has been summarizing their com
ments upon it. The Times maintains
that "the question is one of law, and
not of feeling" and says that "England
endeavored to do justice to all parties
during the rebellion, and must decline
to acknowledge any other motive of
her action" Itpredicts that the poll
cy foreshadowed in Mr.. Summers
speech will prove failure, which is
one of the safest predictions the Thun-
derer ever made. The Telegraph says
that "England will give an attentive
ear to all reasonable propositions, but
will not listen to novel pretensions." If
no solution is now practicable" it adds

Why There Will be no War with
VIZ ENGLAND.

VI .~~
England.
The New York Times says that q
leading member ofthe Senate Commit
tee on Foreign Relations scouts the
idea that there will be any war between
England and the United States, grow
ing out of the Alabama claims He
gives the following reasons for his
faith: 1af3J n
First, it would necessarily be q
naval war, for the invasion and con-
quest Of Canada would be only the
work of week. Being q naval war,
the destruction of the commerce and
shipping Of both countries would be al
most the only result. England has
three times the number of steam YES
sells that we have, all her passenger and
mail steamships being available at
twcnty-four hours notice as war flo.
tilla. 5. l
"Second, war with England would
cost the United States at least, $4,000
100000, which would eventually end
| in reputation. Meanwhile the Incl
dental loss and suffering to both coun-
tries would be incalcalable.
"Third the United States cannot af-
ford to hold the British North Ameri
can possessions as conquered provin
ccs.. Four millions Of disconted peo-
pie on the North, and as many millions
more on the South, would produce a
state of affairs anything but pleasant"

our citiaens will bear in mind that the
philharmonic Society will give two
concerts this week, on Thursday and
Friday nights, April 29th and 3Oth'
at the Opera House. We sincerely
hope that they will be greeted on ooth
nights with full houses. Those VINO
have heard them rebearse, speak In
the highest terms of the pieces Sc
lected and from the. known reputa-
tio, IF the Society, we feel assured
that those who attend will enjoy
rare musical treat. Almost every
buInbug that visits this city is well
patronlzed, That is all right, for the
people certainly have right to go
where they please and to spend as
much as they please. But we think
that when concert is given by So
ciety like the Philharmonic, that
they should also receive liberal pa
tronage, as they are a home institu-
ton. Their success is our success
and we ought to take natural pride
in building up and sustaining socle-
ties of this kind We hope to see our
splendid Opera House filled on both
nights with brilliant and appreciative
audiences.
Ia TO morrow's issue we expect to
be able to give the programme for the
two evenings, and We advise every
| body to make their arrangements to
be present at the concerts.
