COMING TO THE LIGlIT.-In an article on
American Education, in the Southern Rertc,c,
published in Baltimore, after giving the
Southern version of the grounds of our late
civil war; and eloquently denying the action of
the South to have been Rebellion foul, dis
honoring word" the writer says
"Whatever betide, recollect that this is still
our country, and that the men who have beaten
us are still in some sort our brethren. We are
again living together under the same govern
maut, and government is one of those practl
cal things which we must attend to, whether
we will or not 1t touches us at too many
points to render it possible for Us to ignore it.
What, under these circumstances, is our duty
as well as our interest Is it not to cultivate
peace and good will towards those with whom
we have been lately at strife?
The fires of patriotism burned brightly in
the bosoms of the Greeks; they made great
sacrifices for public good. The Greeks were
not exempt from the common lot Of humanity
They had many and bitter civil wars one of
them, the Peloponnesian war, lasting through
an entire generation. These enlightened peo-
pie were as magnanimouS, and as Oblivious as
they were brave. 1t was one of their beauti-
full customs never to build a monument of
material more durable than wood to com
msmorate victory won by Greek over Greek.
While elegant shafts of the purest Pentecan
marble shot up to heaven to perpetuate the
victories which they had won over the PersianS,
nothing but a stake or tablet of wood told
where Greek had shed the blood of = brother
Greek.
''If our patriotism burnt brightly in the dark
days Of our trials, so did that of the Greek
if our beloved country has been ravaged by
fire and sword, so was the country Of the
Groat md tho (I reak for,ra boy
Greek, and, when the war was over, renewed
friendly intercourse with his late enemy, and
set himself at work to remedy the evils which
the late war had done.
'The people which have set us this Christ
ian example were heathens. Shall we, then
who are Christians, refuse to follow it? In
consenting to bury animOsities it is by nc
means necessary to do violence to our memo
ries, or to any of our cherished feelings Of
principles. On the contrary, let us store away
IN the most sacred recesses of our hearts the
history of the eventful struggle, in which We
staked life liberty and property, for the pre-
servaton of free institutions In this, our native
land. That struggle has conferred immOrta
honor upon eur name and race, and consigned
to the sarcophagus of true glory the ashes O
some of the best and nobest of men. If We
lost our cause, we lost it through sheer exhaus
tion, against which human nature could nt
longer struggle; and if we have furled the con
qCered banner, we have furled it with reyeren
and pious hands, as sOlcitous of its fame as i
it had been the banner of success, and hav,
consigned it to the keeping of our heavenl.
Father, who doeth all things well"
IL this were the animus of the Southern
press throughout, then would our country hav
quiet and rest, with the peace that the wa
brought US. Prosperity and protection to al
would reign in all our borders.

RAILROAD MATrERs-A slight change in
the running time of trains on the Delaware
road will be commenced next Monday, 8th
The noon train will get into Smyrna FIVE
minutes sooner, Though the time table does
not say sol and the evening train ten minutes
earlier. The starting time from Philadelphia
is the same, but the train runs a little faster.
The most important change is in the freight
train, with passenger car attached. 1t is now
known as an express freight, and runs nearly
at fast as the regular passenger trains. A pas,
senger and smoking car will be attached 1t
will be night train, each way, and the pas
senger car will be chair car for the comfort of
drowsy passengers. The evening train from
Smyrna, to connect with the down train, leaves
Smyrna at 1876, (instead OF o'clock, as form
erly,) also connects with this express freight
going north. Coming south it gets to Clayton
at 3.20 in the morning, and passengers will
have to walk into town. Between Whining
ton and Phila., both ways passengers for this
train ride in the fast Washington and New
York express. This train will be great con
veniencc to business men and fruit shippers,
which it is designed to accommodate 1t only
stops at the more important stations

THE BONNET CARRE CREvAssE.-Benn
Care, the scene of the great crevasse through
which the father of waters " has, for several
days past, been deluging a rich portion Of
country in Louisiana, between New Orleans
and Pontchartrain, is a small post village in
the parish OF st. John the Baptist, some forty
five miles above New Orleans. Dispatches
from the locality state that the crevasse was
one thousand feet wide and still extending
that twelve miles of the jackson railroad had
been washed away, and that great efforts were
being made to limit the extent of the disaster
five thousand men including railroad laborers
aud volunteers, being at work. Earthworks
were being thrown up at various points, and
other measures in progress. 1t is believed
that there is no danger to the city of New
Orleans. The destruction of property has
been immense. Boats are constantly plying
over the food for the rescue of property il
the houses of planters, and of persons whe
may have been prevented from escaping from
their dwellings. No loss of life has yet beer
reported. Several other crevasses have &C
CURED above and below Bonnet Care, bu
have nearly all been closed. The excitement
created iu business centres of the country by
this disastrous recurrence of Louisiana almos
annual deluge has given rise to a general ex
preston that Congress should go to the full

OF last week contained the following item :
There arrived at New York, on the last Cunard
steamer, Thos. w. Homewood, wife and thir-
teen children. The mother is only in her 32d
year, and the children range in age from six
teen years to ten months. In reply to those
who were inclined to sympathise with Mr..
Homewood, because Of his many responsible
ties, he stated that he had brought over with
him $4,000 in gold, which he thought was
sufficient to keep the wolf from the door, and
had also purchased farm near Wilmington,
