The South would not have failed.
says Henry y. Wise, had the Mis-
sissippi run east and west, instead
of up and down the continent.
Yes, but the trouble about the
matter was, that the current wasn't
changed to suit the emergency, and
nothing that we could do, could
prevent the North from triumphing
over us in the unequal contest. The
thing is done; the war is over, and
there is no longer any use crying
over split milk" Henry y. Wise
had better subside and quietly de-
scend to the grave, which must now
be yawning to receive him, instead
of trying to ride upon the storm
and manage the whirlwiud' Of
politics.

ca If anything were wanting to
render that contemplate thing call
ed 'the CODE" ridiculous, il is fur
nished in the following from the
GAINESVILLE Chronicle. lt says:
We understand the difficulty in
the way OF the Wintersmith-Lucas
duel, consists in the trouble of find
ing the exact State line. If duelling
be crime in both States, il is de-
sirabie that Wintersmith, a Ken
tuckian, shall stand on the Tennes-
see side, and Lucas, j Tcnnesseean,
on the Kentucky side, so that neith-
er State can prosecute for violation
of its laws, neither of the offenders
being a citizen of the State in which
lac attempted TO commit murder
Any difficulty in interpreting the
code OF honor, might have been
Obviated by referring TO the code of
law. Of course, the Decalogue is
too old-fOgyish a code of morals TO
be consulted by the representatives
of modern chivalry.

The New Postal Law.

The new postal law took effect on
the 1st inst. 1t abolishes the frank
ing privilege, requires the payment
of postage from subscribers TO
county newspapers, and upon all
exchanges at the Office Of delivery.
The rates of postage have not been
changed. To all parts of the United
States letter postage will be three
cents per half ounce. Newspapers
sent by mail must be prepaid by
stamps unless "regUldrly issued and
sent TO regular subscribers" by pub
fishers or newsdealers, when the
following rates are charged, payable
quarterly in advance, either at the
mailing or delivery Office.

Counterfeit aud ssGenuIue'' paper
Dimes.

Counterfeit paper dimes are in
circulation. What's the difference
between a counterfeit dime and q
genuine dime? You can't get cash
for one-and you can't get cash for
the other. So theresis no difference.
The countcrfciter will not redeem
his paper, and the Government will
not redeem its paper. IT'S much OF
a muchncss, both kinds of paper be-
ing worthless: There is a sort OF
belief that the Government paper
will be redeemed, though il rest up
on nothing but hope, that most de-
glowing of ali dccievers. IL is prob
able that but a small part OF our
smaller currency ever will be con-
verted into cash, as much of IL will
in various ways-by wearing out
by being dropped and trampled upon
or blown away, by being burned by
being pronounced counterfeit when
il is genuine. All this will be gain
ed by Government, and IL will bC
lost by thes poorest members Of the
working classes, for whose suffering
neither government nor politicians
care anything, Had any regard
been paid to fhe welfare of those
classes, and had justice been done
all our small currency would have
disappeared six years ago. Its exist
cnce is a reflection on the cOuntTy''
sanity, aud in every way il is ca.

Business sense,

1t has been a common remark and
no less common than true, that the
newspaper press of the country does
more gratuitous work than any
class of people on the continent.
If we had received half pay for the
gratuitous work we have done, run
ming back through a period of more
than forty years, instead of being
in "pOverty's vale" in our old age,
we could glide gently down the tide
of years in as much pecuniary case
as falls to the lot Of most men. But
as regret for past neglect is unavail-
ing, we pass that by, with the re-
mark that the past cannot be recall
ed. We copy from the Appeal the
following, which we end orsc, every
word of it:
Whenever gentleman wants any
thing published, whether it interests
the public or only an individual, he
is willing and will propose to pay.
Somebody must pay for it, and here
after it will not be the printer. The
fact that the proposed publication
would interest the public has no.
thing to do with the matter in issue.
Newspapers are private, not public,
property. They are published to
make money for their owners, and
il anybody would use them they
must pay the cost. Never did we
go to a merchant aud use his goods
for any public purpose without pay
ing, and if we and hundreds of 9th
ers-the public-cmplOy a lawyer
about a street or other highway we
pay the lawyer. The dodge is very
tiresOme, ii is very old, and we hope
to hear of it no more forever. If
you want some scheme ventilated,
whether it interest yourself alone
or thousands, you and your thou
sands must expect to pay the cost.

Meridian, 1IississirPi.
I. 7. WRIGHT,
Star Wharf Boat.

1t may be well for citizens Of 9TH
er towns to know the history of
this, but recently, growing and
prosperous little city. Meridian is
the terminus of the Vicksburg Rail-
road, the Selma and MERIDIAN Rail-
road and the Chattanooga and Ala
bama Railroad, and on the line OF
the great Mobile 81 Ohio Railroad,
and its founder and principal own
ers thought, or acted as if they
thought that nothing could check or
impede its rapid strides TO metro
pOlitan city. They advanced the
prices of property, advanced rents
and stood of from the encourage
ment of all associations of capital
and cooperation generally for the
establishment of manufactories.-
What the result? Now whole
blocks of fine brick stores are ten
antless at any price. Dwellings that
rented only few years ago readily
at twenty-five to forty dollars per
month, arc now without tenants at
five dollars per month.
Eternal vigilance is said to be the
price of liberty. 1t is not less true
that vigilance, cooperation, enter
prise and a just appreciation of the
value of the laboring class to the
prosperity of any town or city is
the only permanent reliance for its
prosperity. RAILROAD.

The Farmers oranges.

The causes which brought the
oranges into existence arc not Of
recent origin. The abuses and evils
intended to be rectified by these or
carnations have been growing with
the ever increasing commercial OPP
eratiOns of the country until they
threaten to swallow up all the pro-
fits OF agricultural toll. The agri-
cultural people have at last resorted
to a very efTectual remedy for these
wrongs. But il becomes q question
of vast moment to the future of
this country, will they stop at the
proper point, or seeing the wonder
full power of their machine, will
they attempt too much ? If the at
tempt be made to force the legiti-
mate course of trade and by legis-
lation to interfere with these mat
tiers, the laws of which are as fixed,
uniform and certain as the laws of
matter, then it must of necessity
come to pass that theIeyil sought to
be remedied must have its place oc-
cupied by one far more to be dread
ed than the former. The philOso-
ply of the adage that otis better
to bear the ills we have than fly to
| those we know not OF" will be bet
ter understood than it now is.
We have no idea that any marked
political feature was intcndcdsto be
incorporated into this organization
in the outset, yet we fear this dam
ger is just ahead. The whole or
ganization is in the hands of intelli-
gent patriotic men, we have no
doubt, and that their plans are in
tended to be truly conservative we
believe, but an organization of such
inherent power for good, is equally
potent for evil, should it ever be di-
vcrted from It's original purpose,
and might destroy the very interests
it was intended to protect.
Applied TO the legitimate purpo-
ses for which the oranges were in
teuded great good may be accom-
plished, and believing that this will
be done, we bid them God speed.
But should it degenerate into a Sc
cret political organization the thing
might well be drcaded.-PartS In

SALT YOUR CHIMNEYs.- In build
ing a chimney, put a quantity of
salt into your mortar with which
the inner course of brick are to be
laid. The effect will be that there
will never be any accumulation of
SCOT in that chimney. The philoso-
ply is this: The salt in the portion
of mortar which is exposed absorbs
moisture from the atmosphere every
damp day. The SCOT thus becoming
damp, falls down to the fireplace.
This appears to be an English dis
covery. 1t is used with success in
many portions of the country.
