Cav TWEED Fly THE COUNTRY "A
New York correspondent, under
date of the 18th instant, writes:
"Thc journals continue 20 talk
pretty freely about the arrangements
Tweed is making, if possible, to
leave the country; but if it were
permissible to publish the plans of
the prosecution with reference to
such contingency, these spccula-

There was time when the great chief

A curious swindling project is reported
from Australia. A deposit of gold and
quartz recently supposed to have been
discovered in Victoria, Australia, created
much excitement. A company was
formed, and the shares were rapidly
taken and paid for. Further investiga-
tion, however, showed that the mine had
been veneered with gold leaf, laid on
with size and varnish. The projectors
OF the company have been arrested.

OuR, REpGn1gTIoN Every man who
has been born IN the South, longs to soc
it Eiee from its Epinsd condition. This,
every true patriot believes. she will do.
How is this to be accomplished? Not
by folding our hands in idleness, nor by
murmuring and repining on account Of
hard times and high taxes. The times
are not near as hard as they have been,
and if the taxes are high, whining about
it does not pay them. We deplore the
miserable state of things which now
exists, as much as any one. A vast
amount OF money is annually expended
for nuisa. ,es. The condition of things
in ahnern-.. Asst WAS in the DAYS Of
the patriarch, Job, &C it is now. The
oxen are Plowing and the asses are feed
Ing beside them. Jeroboam, King Of
Israel, made priests of the lowest of the
Now we have priests and prophets, and
all sorts of officers, from the petty CON
stable to the dignified Governors of
States-from the riff raft Of society.
Every right-minded man views such
state OF things with disgust. It sickens
him and produces n kind of mental
loathing. Our redemption, however,
does not lie in brooding over our mis-
fortunes. 1t is placed, with the blessing
of Heaven, in ourselves. We must ali
go to work. Everybody must become
producer as we'll as consumer. We
have no need for drones, or idlers, or
gentlemen Of leisure.
Many of our people, because they
cannot do as they once did, seem to
have formed the fixed resolution not to
try to act at all. They have become
desperate. Others arc smitten with q
spirit Of apathy, and fold their arms in
Indifference. This is not wise Such
persons might learn an important lesson
from flock of geese. These fowls, in
the midst of hail-storm, stand with
their heads erect, exposing as little of
their bodies to the frozen rain as posi-
BILE. The duty and interest, too, of
every good citizen at present, is to stand
erect. Instead of crouching beneath
the load of oppression. why not summon
all our strength, aud like brave men,
redeem our country from its prostra-
tionP It is an old saying, and expert
enoe proves its truthfulness, that "the
gods help them that help themselves.
If we will do our duty faithfully, God
will bless us with prosperity. But if we
supinely succumb to every little difficult
ty, we need not expect to be redeemed
from our evils, either real or imaginary,
soon. The motto of Davy Crockett was
good one-''Be sure you nre right, and
go ahead. - YorhoiWe Enquirer.
