A GREAT TuoUGur.-There are worse

al cowardicc arc worse than death and
when it becomes necessary to die for great
truths and principles how sweet and how
beautiful is the sacrifice Let no one im-
aglne that this is our day of deepest darE


ness. Twenty millions of people rising as
one man, thrilled by one impulse, swept
by one spirit of self sacrifice, holding right
and justice to be dearer than life, and that
life for these may and shall be offered up
will appear in history as the brightest
omen of the century. Civilization and
free government are not to tail here, but
to come forth more glorious and secure
from trial, This is the clear pointing fin.
ger of God, and for this He strikes the aw.

Meanwhile we hope that from all tho altars

by producing staple whereof tho tran'porta-
ton to its consumers costs double or treble the
price paid for it to the growers. This year,
Europe wants bread, and we rejoice In our
ability to supply it; but it should bring price
fairly remunerative Of the cost of growing it,.
Let us make our own wares and fabrics, and
our farmers will no longer depend for mar
ket on famine in Europe, and then receive
but halfpay for their labor devoted to grain
growing. Meantime, since We are not yet pre-
pared to manufacture adequately for ourselves,
nor even to grow sufficient wool for our own
use, we should be thankful that we have
fair if not bountfal grain crop, and are able
to minister extensively to the wants of less
favored nations.

The object of the present war is to subduc
the Southern rebellion. From the outset Of the
contest rejecting minds saw that the institu-
ton of Slavery, having been the cause of the
rebellion, would play an important part in the
struggle to suppress it. The observation aud
experience gathered during the quarter of a
century in which Slavery had largely mingled
in every controversy that agtated the Amer
lean people, taught us how difficult subject
it was TO handle. All considerate men there


fore feared that it would prove to be the
crock of oiIcnse, over which the success of the
North in this war would stumble and fall.
But, upon a calm survey Of the field of opinion
at the present stage of the contest, We find the
concurrence of sentiment, among the loyal
masses of the Free States, upon this vexed
question, as surprising as it ia cheering. We
now see men like Daniel S. Dickinson and
Gerrlt Smith, who have heretofore stood at
the antipodes of this controversy, and classes
IKE Hard-Shell Democrats and Garrisonan
Abolitionists, who have represented the most
antagonistic opinions in regard to it, taking
substantially the same view Of the part which


Slavery ought to play in this saDguinary drama.


VI course we except from the scope of this
remark those sour bigots who, like the Bour-


bons, never learn anything and never forget
any thing, and those semi-Secessiouists, who
regard the claims of party as superior to the
calls of patriotism, and those old.tme eulogists
Of tho traitors. who gloss over their sympstby

BILL TO COLLECT DELINQUENT TAXES
We publish in another place the act re-
cent passed by the Legislature for the col
lection of delinquent taxes in this county,
that the intelligent people may see what
sort of law has been given them for the
purpose. The act is literally an abortion
and ought to be repealed before the laws
of the session 60 to the State printer for
publication. No such act should disgrace
the statute book. In attempting to throw
safeguards around the bill it has been made
the completest nonsense imaginable.

MovING SLowLY.-The Legislature is in the
sixth week of its session without accomp-
fishing anything. In fact there was little or
no work of legitimate nature to be per-
formed at the commencement, excepting the
election of United States Senator. But
the members-more than half of whom are
small-beer politicians-must have office of
some kind, and ten dollars day is FIVE times
as much as most of them rould earn at any
other occupation. With this per diem they
will continue the session for at least three
months, "rake" the Treasury, draw each
man his 5000, and adjourn, leaving the State
in a much worse condition than they found
it. We have now arrived at the conclusion
that there will not even be Senator elected
this winter.


One thing has been developed by this Leg
islature, viz: We have found out who the
they belong. 1t has also been made mani
fest, that some men can swear to support
two Constitutions, and violate the spirit of
both-draw their salaries from the Treasury
of State towards which they express a
doubtful fidelity, and all in the name of
honor patriotism and extreme devotion to
the Union These men may hereafter be
singled out by their record, which will stand
forever against them, and ought to consign
them to that political grave so graphically
described by Ned Hannegan, where "the
hand of resurrection can never reach them"

MISSISSIPPI SEcEDER.-This State, accord
ing to the facts published below, is not in the
best condition to secede. She probably wishes
former occasion. This is what the New York
Times says of hers


Mississippi has the distinguished honor of be-
ing the second State to pass an ordinance of Sc
cession. The action of her convention awakened
the most intense enthusiasm, as a matter of
course, and was saluted with the ringing of bells,
the display of fireworks, and the ordinary demon.
stration of tumultuous joy.


We should be sorry to think that the people of
that State are playing off an immense sham upon
themselves well as the country. But it is very
difficult to believe them serious in their move
ment. There is not dollar in the State treas
ury-even the members of the last Legislature
have not been able to get pay on the warrants for
their salaries. The State has no credit in any
market of the world, not so much for lack of re-
sources as On account of the shameless and dis
graceful manner in which she has hitherto repu-
dated obligations contracted by her agents on
her behalf She has no militia organization; not
half dozen cannon in the State, and no small
arms, unless Secretary Floyd was able to SNUG
gle some into her limits by way of preparation
for this emergency. Her people will not submit
to taxation for the expenses of such contest
for bill proposing this resort was thrown out of
the Legislature at its late session.


Besides this, there is general lack of food
throughout the State, and complaints already
come up from every quarter of an absolute or
prospective dearth of the bare necessaries of life.
How long can any considerable armed force,
even if one can be raised, be maintained under
such state of things as this? We trust Colonel
Jefferson Davis sees his way clearly through the
fogs and among the pitfalls of the immediate
future. He will probably have chance to learn
that popularity is good deal more easily lost
than won, and that the sufferings of month
may undo the political teachings of a lifetime.
Six months will put end to his popularity
among the people whom he has so steadily and
so Thoroughly misled.

There is perhaps nothing that could be urged

his character with which they can find fault, and
nothing in his qualifications to object to. In
