Reecher on Theoiogies.

Henry Ward Beecher preached before his
congregation on Wednesday last. The ser
mon was appropriate to the day, the text
being the fourth chapter of Luke and TWEEN
ty-first verse. Mr.. Beecher said this was an
account of the first ordination sermon. The
influence OF the gospel, although its effect had
been slow, Mr.. Beecher said, was visible in a
marked degree. sour nation is, believe,
the only one that, having the means and OPP
portunity, does not steai. England ne7er
loses chance TO steal; France goes out OF
her way to steal; Germany steals all she
can; and Austria, if she doesn't, it Is because
she can't steal. Dynastic stealing is declin-

MEMPHIS APPEAL
50: JANUARY 10, 1859
THE NEW SOUTH.

The newspapers, from California to Flor
ida and from Maine to Texas, are rejoicing
over the new and prosperous era upon which
it is now universally conceded the South has
entered. Now that the people of the North,
East and West unite in the opinion that we
have a magnificent country, rich in all that
is necessary to constitute the greatest and
most attractive section of the Union, it is the
duty of the intelligent people of the South to
aid in their development. This has been the
predominating aim of the APPEAL, and we are
gratifed to see that this purpose has been
appreciated by the Southern newspapers. In
publishing the APPEAL prospectus for 1882,
our contemporaries never fail to commend the
devotion of this paper to all that concerns
the political. social and material interests of
the Southern people. The following from
the Record, published at Searcy, Arkansas,
may be taken as sample OF the general tone
of the Southern press:
Among the many journals which have con-
south none can claim more excellence than that
sterling paper, the Memphis -lPPEAL. Every citi-
zen of the Southern Mississippi Valley feels per-
sonal pride IN that journal however lnhch ne may
differ with the views of its editors Vigorous, able
same enterprising spirit breathes through its
columns to-day that led it to abandon its home
and champion the Lost Cause in the tented
field. Long live the APPEAL, and may its harvest
ever be bountiful and unfailing-
We shall endeavor to deserve in the
future just such appreciation fro our
Too much politics has
been the bane of the country, and especially
of the South, for the past fifteen years. But
this was forced upon us and could not be
evaded. The desire to get rid OF misrule and
a subsequent fear of return to misrule,
forced the Southern people to engage in poll
tics TO the detriment OF their substantial in
terests. Now that the South is peaceful and
quiet, and there is no political question me-
nacing her tranquility, the people care but
little about politics. 1t is plain to be seen |
that sectional issues are to be eliminated |
from national politics, and that future cleo /,
lions will be influenced solely by an enlarged, |
national patriotism. The APPEAL looks |
Ipon the events of the past twenty years with !
hat feeling which ever accompanies the
of terrible nightmare, and !
will, for the future, forget them in discus
ion of our immense natural wealth, bound
