riously triumphed. Let the news go
all over this broad land that the peo-
pie have made both lightning and

are now leverberating from Maine to
Florida, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. Let the world know that the
white people Of this State are once
more free and have government of
their own choice. Let the world
know that usurpation, tyranny and
fraud will not he tolerated by men in

the world know that in this struggle
we have made a fight for our man.

our property and our right to
self government. We have gloriously
indicated the grand principles of Re-

monstrated that a government can
only exist by the consent of the gov

sons, his home life, arc alone real.
But there will come a change. The
ordinary slow growth into manhood,
with its business or professional pur-
suits and widening relations, or
startling ercnts, such as the death o.
parent, or some intellectual or
spiritual appeal. striking ont the latent
soul, will make vivid and earnest
what was inGistinct and embarrassing.
Like q stercOscopic picture before
it is pat in the stcreoscope, the life of
man has no body or reality; but
when the boy awakens, as with the
picture within the instrument, so with
him, solidity and naturalness will be
acquired by the external world, and
he will feel what it is henceforth to
live and move amongst these grandcr
and gaver forms.
Many mistakes will be commit,
false estimates will he form Of pro-
portion and perspective, the earnest
ness Of his new conception will hurry
him into extravasances and generous
errors but if there is truth in his
nature, and nobleness in his spirit
Just views will be formed, and the
day in which it is given him tc work
will find him not unmindful of the
which arises from a
knowledge of the coming night.

cess Of the Citizens.

Our Geographic columns this morn
ing have very 5elligerent look, and
carry the mind back to the piping
days of war; The rufIianism and
rogucry Of Kellogg, and bis gang of
thieves, have produced their legiti.
mate fruits, and have eliminated in
open war. Blood has been shed. men
have been killed aud wounded in the
streets Of New Orleans. The roar of
artillery and the rattle of musketry
have been heard in the peaceful city.
Death and sorrow have invaded hap.
Ply homes, and all the evil passions of
men are aroused, in order that these
may rule and ruin a once great, pros
porous and happy State. Thus far
the advantage is with the right-thus
far the citizens have beaten the Metro
politan Janizaries, With General Long
street at their head. General Badger.
the immediate commander of the Met
ropolitans, is reported, by the Press
dispatches, badly wounded, with the
loss of a leg, while our special CORES
pendent, Frank, reports him dead
We pray heaven the rerort of his
death may be true, and are only sorry
that General Longstreet, that recreant
son of the South did not receive a
leaden passport to cross the dark
rivers.
Our prayers and best wishes go
with the people of New Orleans, and
may the fe:cest wrath of God light
upon their Vicksburg
Herald.
