For the new day?
Wishes rise thick as the glowing


Notes in the beam,

Half that we dream.

If it be well, he will heed them,


Knowing our lot.

Light for the mind
That while the day is progressing
We walk not blind.
Light on the burden Of duty,


Heavy and gross,
Just to develop the beauty
Clasping it close.
Light showing plainly through sorrow
Something behind,
Waiting to shine on the morrow


Like gold refined.
Only for light to see clearly


What is His will,
That we may love it more dearly
Better known still.
Light, too, when evening is closing,
Shadowy, dim, .
Shining beyond Deaths reposing,
Coming from him.
This let us ask iu the morning

To hallow the day.


New Orleans Times.
Year: 1868

The Governors of the Southern States,
it appears, are sorely disappointed be-


cause Gen. Schoield has decided that


there is no law to Justify the issue Of


arms to the Southern militia. There is,


we suppose, no doubt in the mind OF any


one as to what the Southern Governors


want the arms for. 1t is to control the


election against the will of the people by


the operation of an armed militia. The


Southern white people do not require
any. coercion. They are remarkably
peaceable and we'll behaved. In fact,
they have on several recent occasions
refused to lie brought into collision with
the blacks, although the Radical mis-
chief-makers tried that game at Raleigh
and elsewhere. Even the violence of
some of the public harrangues have been
toned down to moderation cf late, and
there is an evident disposition on the
part of the South to conduct the ap-
preaching election quietly, but firmly,
against the Radicals. The people of the
South have nothing to gain by disturb
ing the peace, and they are beginning to
understand that fact. To commit acts
of violence would be to play into the
hands of their enemies and prosecutors,
and this is the very thing which the car
pet-bag Governors are most anxious to
accomplish.


There may be another reason why the
Governors are so urgent about arming
the militia, and that is to bring about an
early meeting of Congress ii. September
1t seems that they have made united
appeal to Congress for that purpose, in
order to supply such legislation as Sec
retary schofeld says does not now exist
with regard to arming the militia. This
may be mere pretext to get Congress
together, because there is no necessity
for an early session, as old Thad. Ste
phens admitted in his last moments.
This movement of the Radical Govern
ors Of the South, therefore, may be re-
garded as a mere party dodge for cleo
tioneering purposes. The Radicals, who
speeulated confidently upon the support
Of the Southern negroes, may perhaps
be pardoned for their present bitter dis
at finding things going the
other way; but that is no reason why
they should be encouraged in provoking
violence and bloodshed for party ends
We know enough of Radical policy at
the South to distrust these men when
they raise the cry of"wolf:" It is pret-
" evident. now that the majority of the
20 go against radicalism, and the free
of the peoples will should
not be interfered with by military force
upon any pretence whatever.-Nev York

Let every one read and ponder we'll the fol-
| lowing from tho Charleston Mercury Of the 18th
uit:


Democrats Of Carolina! we say to you


one and all, South Carolina is promising,


but not secure. 1t is the most doubtful


State South Of Maryland. Your duty is to


win the day. The vote of South Carolina


may decide the fate of the country and we


can give it to Seymour and Blair. TO this


end, spend no day at home, or in your


private business, which you devote to the


salvation Of the Palmetto State in this


campaign. See your neighbors. Talk to


the colored people, inform them, advise


them. Tell them tho plain unvarnished


truth in kindness and for tile mutual ad-


vantage of the Southern white man and
Southern colored man. They are destined
10 live together and 10 prosper or suffer to-
gether. Circulate the facts. Hunts down
the lies. STRIP the idle. Raise the need
ful. for barhacues and other party expenses.
Turn out at the meetings. Require those
who eat your bread and live upon the
work you provide, TO bo true to you and
tho State and country in this great, vita
emergency. Your highest duty and your
most ergent business for the few remaining
weeks of tho campaign, are to save your
country. Let it not Le said that, had the
vote Of South Carolina been necessary to
eject Seymour, the safe and Conservative
stateman Of the time would have been de.
feated. Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty. Such are the appeals Of the New
York Tribune to Northern Radicals.
Your Liberty, your property, your peace
and safety, your country itself is at stake
Democrats, what efforts arc you making ?
What sacrifices of time, labor and patience
in instruction, money, are you making one
and all 2 Now is the accepted time, when
your sacrifices may DO of priceless value.
And it is now or never-thess few weeks
left.


Men of the city-men of the country,
we call upon you, each and every Caroli-
nian, to buckle down 10 this overshadowing
task-redeem your State from
threatening, hopeless ruin. Save your
selves no,c from the coming horrors of a
war of race and beggary, or exile.


Men Of standing and influence there are
who have, from self-inlulgence kept aloof
from their ward meetings, instead Of turn
ing out and giving all the countenancc and
support and vim they can to the Iabors Of
their felow-citizens. We call upon them
the aged the venerable, the honored the
10 come forth and show their
their zeal, their appreciation OF
the nature Of this terrible struggle, for
existence in which we are engaged.


We have heard of men of wealth who
have buttoued their pockets against the
urgent public calls Of their feIlow-c citizens
in this great crisis.


We have only to say, that, at time
when everything is at stake, and the foun-
dations of society are rocking on their
bases-life, liberty and property all in
volvej, South Carolina expect every man
to do his duty.

tain degree yield to tho latter condi-
ton of things. 1t is idle for tho cot
ton growing States to compete with
the northern farmer in raising wintor
apples, aud because = man n.oy raise
cotton in the Middle States, it is no
reason why ho should do it.


Special localities arc adapted to
special productions. The animal
kingdom has it's fixed geographical
boundaries, and so does tho vegetable
kingdom. But this is not all, nor is
it by any means the most important
consideration. In order to succeed
we'll in cultivating any production Of
valuo at tho present day, thcro must
be INTEL ligence. Hence when any one
community takes up sheep husbandry,
wo find that whole population famil-
lar with the details of tho business.
In othor words, they have been cdu-
Gated TO the business. Let q novice
in the business take flock of fivo
hundred sheep, and tho chances are
as to ten to one that he would make
an entire failure in tho business of
sheep raising, unless he had tho bone
fit OF his neighbors' experience. The
same is true of orcbarding. Some
persons suppose it an easy thing to
raise an orchard, but We would rather
undertake to fit boy for college than
10 teach him how TO plant an orchard
with the right kind Of trees, and tako
care of them in all their details till he
had handsome and productive or

charding is made business, one
neig hbor has the benefit Of The others
experience, and thereby avoids mis-
takes that would otherwise interfere
with his success.


Men frequently have groat fenrs
that if tho town in which they reside
should devote it's whole energies to
some speciality the market would be
over. stocked. But ono town or one
country is only an item exceeding
small in this great country. Still al.
other advantage arising from this
community of labor is the acquired
reputation place may have for good
articles, and thus an extra price may
be obtained,,fyr every thing it may
have for sale. Orange County butter
had reputation that demanded q
great advance IN price over other but.
ter equally good. If man nova
days buys Vormount buck or horse
he must pay round price for it. II
q man wants a Jorsey cow he must
so to Winthorp for her and pay q
great price. A Jersey cow from any
other place would hardly be worth
looking at SO long as ono is pr sale
from that town.


Hence we still argue the propriety
Of making q speciality in farming
where the conditions are favorable,
Such communities are always more

How TO FIT COLLARS TO HoRsEs'

Collars arc SO made, or should be 50

horse can apply but little strength on
tho upper part, and for this reason
breast collars arc coming greatly into

it seemed certain that impeachment
would succeed, he was a brave man
who, elected as Republican and
claiming affiliation with the radi-
col party, resolved to vote for acquittal
expecting to stand almost alone. But
when it is found, as it now is, that an
able and determined band think and
will act with him and that the success
Of his cause is assured, not all the clam.
ors of his party can drive him from his
determination. The position of the
doubtful" Senators is no longer mat.
ter Of doubt. Seconded and backed and
assured of success as they are, they
will vote against some, if not all, of the
articles of impeachment as certainly as
their names are called.


The final breakdown of impeach-
mant seems to us the inevitable prelude
to the complete prostration of the rad
ical party. 1t will certainly damage
very materially the presidential pros
poets of HIRAM U. GRANT, to whose
treachery and bad faith the occasion
for the trial is owing; and STANTON
may be permitted to retire from his
fortress without fear of any other yio-
lence than the pleasant knowledge that
he is scorned, despised and aerided by

There is another thing the opposition
must do to secure success. They must
proclaim what they expect to do in
clearly defined platform. The absorb
ing desire of the people is, to restore
the whole country, in the speediest
manner to contentedness and prosperl-
ty, so that all shall feel "It Is well for
US to be here" They have lost all con-
fidence in the present party in power to
accomplish this, and are ready to unite
with any party that can assure them
that this result shall be speedily
accomplished. Nothing short of such
assurance will secure success-mark
that. The "outs," merely folding
their arms and finding fault with
the "ins," will not secure success
at this time-a full assurance Of rig
oroas action that will save the country
and restore harmony and prosperity.
alone will do it. The opposition, then,
| submit, should place themselves upon
the broad and elevated plain which the
present crisis and true spirit of the
Constitution demand-leaving beneath
them, as things of the past, abnormal
dogmas, with narrow, sectional preju-
dices which the result of the war has
rendered obsolete, master tho present,
and prepare for the future of this great
nation.


Such, l submit, is the great,absorbing
wish of the people, who are already
looking about them for means with
which to accomplish that purpose. They
wish all unconstitutional laws with the
fanciful reconstruction ofStates, wheth-
er in process or accomplished by the
present party, swept away by legiti-
mate means, and such amendments to
the National Constitution inauguarated
as the changes occasioned by the
war, the light of experience, and the
present and future of the Nation de-
mand. Are the opposition wise and
patriotic enough to adopt and pursue
such a course thereby secure sue
cessi l may venture hereafter to
suggest some amendments to the Ma
tional Constitution which it seems to
me the present juncture requires, and
which the opposition should pledge it..
self beforehand to inaugurate on its ac-
cession to power.
