the Benedict. Arpolds Of the South ;
that we must confess ourselves rebels
| and traitors !; in. a word, that we must
forget and forgive It is easy and
convenient for the .1ictor or the spoil
er to quote this precept and to urge
his victim to act upon it because Of
its divine origin But in its applica-
tion TO us the South, one impor-
tant element of this injunction :hat
came from Him who spake as never
man spake, is omitted. What are
The words in which Christ promulga-
ted to bis followers. that sublime pre-
{eept which enjoins forgiveness to
those who have wrenged us ? "If thy
brother trespass against thee, rebuke
him; and if he repent, forgive him.
Have our brethren who trespassed
against us repented? If so, we are
ordered to forgive them; and God.
forbid that I should counsel hatred,
when repentance and fruits meet for
repentance are manifested. If these
trespassing brethren will restore to us
as far as they can all of which they
have deprived us; if they will give
us again peace, prosperity, happiness,
and liberty; if they will cease to
denounce US as rebels, and. will ac-
knowledge that we were patriots who
fought bravely for the blessings of
freedom; if they will do honor to the
men whom they have slain; if they
will turn again to us, saying we re-
pent," then in Gods holy name let
us fulfill promptly the commandment
of our Saviour and forgive them. Let
the victors in that tratricidal war
which they have begun, follow the
injunction of Christ to repent, and
we, the. sufferers, will then heartily
forgive. We are. told too that we
must forget as we'll as forgive. All !
my friends, this. .is. the. hardest task
that .oould.be imposed ON us, for I
know not where that Lethean stream.
can be found ON earth where waters
will btingtto us-that sweet oblivious
'antidote Chat will give to us blessed
forgetfulness Of oursuferings and our
wrongs. What, are we to forget ?
We are to forget that we are the sons
of men who gave their blood to es-
tablish The liberty of America, that
we have contributed our full share to
the genius, the glory, the fame, and
the success Of that Republic which
our fathers created; that we were
once the equals Of the proudest in
that Republic; that we were free
born men, and that now we are the
bondslnen Of a slave. If despair and
sorrow and humiliation at last teach
lis to forget all these things, can we
ever FORGET as we look upon the

CARPET-BAe STATE DEBTs.-It is
healthy sign that the press of the
North is beginning to recognize and
proclaim the fact that something
must be done about the huge debts
which have been saddled upon the
Southern States by the carpet-bsg
governments which were created and
sustained By the Federal authority as
it's chosen instruments Of reconstruc-
ton. The views of several leading
I journals on this subject, which we
reproduce elsewhere, are full Of in
terest for our people. The article
from the New York Times, on the
proposition that the General Govern
ment should help out the South by
shonldering her debts, is especially
noteworthy, and reads very much
like feeler." 1t is certainly a
new thing to hear the Times discuss
ing measures of mercy and modera-
ton towards the s:Southern rebels
in any other tone than that Of the
bitterest denunciation. In spite Of
the objections of the. Times, there is
an intrinsic equity in the proposed
scheme The great bulk -ofs.the car.
pet-bag debts were never authorized
by the Southern people, in. whose
name they were contracted. They
are debts for which no equivalent
consideration mas ever been received.
If paid at all, they ought to be aid
by the principal from whom the
agents who contracted them derived
thoir authority. That principal is
none otherthan "the best Govern
ment the world ever saw. Charles.

who forget that they. once were free
we must prove ourselves worthy ol
the liberty we pray FOR. IF our faith
in the Justice of our cause was SC
strong that we ventured life and all
that makes life desirable onthe dread
issue Of war, surely we should ever
strive to Justify ourselves in the eyes
of the world. Will history vindicate
us if we condemn ourselves? I? But II
we stand manfully by the great prin-
ciples for which we fought, if we
prove that we are. worthy of the
freedom for which we struck, we
shall not have fought in vain We
can no longer defend our faith with
our swords, but we can defend and
justify it by the great tribunal Of his
tory, and posterity will do us justice.
Many faint-hearted have fallen by
the way-side, apostatest to a cause of
which they were never worthy but
thank God, many are left who will
never bow the knee to Baal. Chief
among these faithful amongst the
faithless are the women Of the South.

gades. AS long as they are spared
to instil into the hearts of our chill
dren the sublime lessons Of devoted
patriotism of which they are them
selves the brightest exemplars, we
need not despair Of the redemption
of our country. They were the real
martyrs of the war, as they are its
saddest victims. But by a merciful
dispensation Of Providence, nature
brings compensation for nearly every
sorrow, and this blessed law will give
to them many and rich mercies for
the griefs they have borne. The
tender care with which they soothed
the suferings Of the wounded andill
soldiers of their country is remem-
bered in many grateful heart. from
which daily prayers. ascend to the
throne of Grace, invoking for them
every blessing that merciful God
can bestow. And may we not hope
that even our dead, whose memory
is so sacredly guarded, and whose
dust is so reverently honored by these
noble women, look down with ap-
proving love on the pious work Of
their loving hands? The conscious
ness of duty nobly performed to the
living and to the dead will bring to
them peace, if not happiness. Many
of them, through all the borders Of
the desolate South, like Rachel,
weep lor their children, and refuse
to be comforted because they are not;
but let them remember the proud
words of a bereaved mother, who
even over the body OF her son could
exclaim Il would not give nv
dead son for any living son in Christ
