A NORTHERN REBEL ON THE "OLD REBEL
LroN"--we have in this city q rebel journal
which, in its affected confidence in the final


success Of the rebellion, eclipses even the Rich
mond Sentinel, the special organ Of JEFF. Davis
This Northern admirer Of Southern rights, as
illustrated under Jef's ferocious despotism,
seems TO draw some consolation from the fact
that Sherman's march northward from the Caro-
linas towards Virginia thus far has not been
more successful than was that of Lord Corn
wallis over the same route in the cold rebel
lion"-a triumphal journey which ended in the

THE UNION FEELING AT THE S0UTH.-The ac-
counts of our correspondents which we pub
lished yesterday, of the manner in which our
forces were received by the citizens Of Charles
ton and Wilmington are but an indication OF
the general sentiment of the Southern people
in favor of Union, and q return to their old
allegiance. Nor are these two cities solitary
examples; for wherever our armies have ad-
vanced and obtained foothold, from the Mis-
sissippi to the Atlantic, they have found the
same feeling prevailing. With the exception Of
q few malcontents here and there of both sexes,
the appearance of the Union army has always
been regarded in the light of deliverance from
the hideous incubus of oppression under which
the people of the South have been suffering.
The natural inference to be drawn from this
fact is that the people have been forced into
rebellion by the leaders. 1t Is manifestly not
revolt of the Southern masses, so much as Of
the Southern politicians. It is true that the
masses are to be found in the ranks; but It is
not what the political chiefs and the newspa-
pers call patriotism that enrolls them there,
but an inexorable coercion from which there is
no escaping. When Charleston, the hotbed Of
secession for thirty years-thet cradle and the
nursery of the present rebellion-receives our
conquering troops with open arms, and halls
the old flag upon its forts and ramparts with
unconcealed exultation, what may we not ex-
pect from the ground down, heavily taxed, half
starved people Of Richmond, when Grant or
Sherman plants the banner Of the Union upon
its walls? We opine that it will be hailed there
with wild shout of welcome; for this rebellion
is not Of or from the people, and when the des-
potism of the leaders is removed by the advent
Of the Union armies the people will rejoice
there as they have done elsewhere; their long
st;fed loyalty will display itself, and we shall
be more united, greater and q stronger
nation than before.

The proceedings of the Antl-Slavery

shall dissolve, declaring that further an-
ti-slavery agitation is uncalled for: ms
proposition seems to have created quite
a sensation among the select band of ag-
itators, white and colored, and efforts
were made to dodge the question: or
choke off Mr. Garrison's resolutions with
amendments and irrelevant motions
From the remarks Of those who opposed
the proposition to disband, We find that
the question of perfect equality between
whites and negroes at the north IS to be
agitated until negroes are not merely
allowed to vote, but are socially recog-
nized Wendell Phillips says: "ln all

negro with the white man. aud to day
we stand with technical and substantial
slavery, and with the negro standing on.

Absolute equality before the law. and
civil equality for the negro is what we
demand, and cannot consent to leave

Mrs Watkins Harper, colored lady,
in her speech delicately breaches the
doctrine of miscegenation as a probable
necessity of our race, therefore should
they still cleave unto the negro. The
time may come" says this colored Cas-
sandra, when you will have need OF the
warm nature of the negro in your civili-
cation. The civilization of the white
race is cold and tame, and il lacks all the
zeal, the fervency and the warmth OF the
negro element. The negro would bring
into their civilization the learning and
the song of his race-the literature OF the
Orient and all the wealth Of his loyalty"


That Mr.. Garrison has been sincere

slavery cause, no one can question. lie
considers the work done, and proposes to
disband the society which has this work
for its sole object. But the lesser lights

A FLOWER STORY. We are told that the
Duke of Tuscany was the first possessor
of a pretty shrub ofjessamine, and he was
so jeaIouSly fearful lest others sh9uld en-
Joy what be alone wished to possess, that

this new flower, put it into the earth, the
branch remained green all the year. 10
the following spring it grew and was GOV.

little fortune from the sale of the precious
gift which love had made her, when
with sprig of jessamine in her breast,
she gave her hand and wealth to the
happy gardner of her heart. And the

"Ah! but what if we try to resume Specie
| Payments aud .faa?" we are grayely asked. as
! if we should he any more inSolvent then than
we are now. The question irresistibly reminds
us of the British caricature wherein jal-biTd
looks out of his grated window to gossip with a
crony in the street below. "What news =


asks the insidcr "The French are coming,
is the response. "Then what will become oi
our precious liberties7" "Yes, by --! and
what will become of our glorious religion?'


If we attempt to resume Specie Payments and
fail, we shall almost certainly reduce the pres.
ent disparity between Coin and Grcenbacks, aud
thus mitigate the evils We seek 20 remove.
Even though We should only come halfway to
Specie-and We could not fund One Hundred
Millions of Greenbacks without doing this-we
should thereby 80 reduce the nominal cost OF
the necessaries of life as to appreciate decidedly
the value Of every salary, every pension, OF the
laundresS's beggarly pittancc and the house
maids monthly wages. Having gone so far at
the first effort, we should soon be encouraged to
make another rush and 60 through.


Suspension was never justified, save as an im'
peratiyc National necessity. We were ut war
for our existence; we were spending more mil.
lions than we could possibly borrow; and we
had to make our own promises Legal Tender
for the Sums We urgently needed. In other
words, we had to decree a gigantic Forced Loan.
It was right, it was wise to do this; for the
Nation must live; and it does live to-day by vir'
tue of that very decree. But for that, we should
have run hard aground for money; our Army
and Navy could not have been fed and clad
much less, paid-and we should have gone to
wreck The sole and sufficient defense OF the
LEGAL Tender act is this--It saved the country.


But, an Burke somewhere says, we must be
careful not to make the extreme medicine ofthe
Nation its daily bread. The crisis is past; the
War is over; our income equals our current ex.
pendture; we are producing Food and Specie
largely; we have no longer an excuse for Ma
tional Insolvency. Let US resolve to end 1t

8 4- This is now the great work for the farmer. How this crop may be gathered in the cheap est and best manner is now the important problem.

 Be in readiness to begin as soon as you have . single acre that is fit to cut more will be ready as soon as that is secured. This wait ing until the grass begins to " suffer- and to be cutting one acre after another, just after it has been laid or lodged by storm; this being driven by the work instead of driving the work, is not only very unpleasant but very improbable. Once behindhand, it may cost one quarter or one half more to secure the crop, leaving out of the account the dete- rioration of the grass, and the loss of the rowen for cutting or pasture. .

 Good tools and plenty of them should be provided. The loss for the want of rake or fork for single hour, may be more than its entire cost. ''~s 1

 The moving machine and the horse rake have become established institutions, and there are few farms which can afford to dis uense with their aid. We are nov offered the hay tedder and the horse fork. We have had no experience as yet in their use, but we are inclined to look favorably upon them. ft.
