The LFT-Us-ALoNE Policy THE MOST CoER-
CIvE.-lf Lincoln follows towards the seeded
States the let-alone policy indicated by his
evacuation OF Fort Sumpter, it will be the
worst sort of force bill against them. Just
let them alone, and leave them to work out the
problem of a separate and independent Gov
ernment, and before Christmas some of them
will be glad enough to return to the folds of
the Union. Texas and Florida are not able to
support themselves, much less to contribute
anything to the supports and strength of the
new Confederacy. Mississippi has not the
credit for shilling in the markets of the world,
and the voice of the majority of the voters of
Louisiana was not heard when that State sece
ded. The taxes of the new Confederacy are
most burthensome, and the people will ere long
take the matter in hand put down the leaders,
and come back to the Union.


A Southern Gentleman, who resides in Au-
gusta, Georgia, writes thus


If the South was merely let alone for six
months, we would probably try at the next
general election to get back The new tariff
bill will open both eyes and pockets three to
four cents per pound on cheese, four to FIVE
cents on butter two to two and one half cents
on sugar, two and one half cents to twenty-five
cents on tobacco, affect every one, and that
sensibly. Prices have advanced, and are still
ascending Our regular army had one hundred
and forty enlisted in this city, and as many in
Savannah. Nine-tenths of our youth go con-
stantIy armed, and the common use of deadly
weapons is quite disregarded. No crntrol can
be exercised over lad after he is fourteen or
fifteen. He becomes Mr. So-and-S So, and ac-
knowledges no master. While our free trade
doubles our tariff, our postal facilities will also
be increased. Letter postage will probably
be raised to ten or twenty-five cents, and off
the immediate line of the railways there will
probably be as much as one mail a week. OF
course, therefore, we will like secession the
better as we become better acquainted with
it.


We have no doubt that we shall find the
secessionists very indignant at the evacuation
of Fort Sumpter. They wish to get up fight
in order to drag" the border Slater out of the
Union. South Carolina will be especially
savage at being severely left alone.-Releigh

New PAPER IN TRiNITY,-Mr. 7. E. Jones, a
resident of this county for the last six years. Is
about to publish weekly paper at Douglas City,
on Trinity river. He tells us that it will be dub

which the Trinity Times was formerly printed
the paper will be about one third less in size than
the JOURNAL.


We wish the Commodore success in his en-

rich at the business, but being practical printer.
NAV at least make good living, and be of much
service if he proceeds with care and economy.

RATES OF FREIGHT FROM RED BLuFF.-The
Packers and Transfers Mutual Protection Soci-

counties their schedule of rates for carrying
freight between Red Bluff and the points north.
We are informed that many persons owning
teams and pack trains refuse to sign the required
bond, which subjects them to a penalty of S 1000
If they transport freight at less than the schedule
rates. Several residents of Weaverville are run
ming teams to the Bluffs, and not one of them has
yet bound himself to charge the prices agreed on
by the Society. Inc teamster or packer, on his
arrival at Weavervile, will receive orders from
business men for his next load at whatever freight
they may agree on, and all the Protec ton Socie-
ties ever organized cannot prevent him from
loading such freight when be returns to Red
Bluff We are of opinion that the new freight
tariff will not govern.

1t is pleasant thing to be a witness on

wants of you, relentlessly hands you over

the defendant in your life in short, that
you have committed direct perjury.


He wants to know if you have ever been

This opinion expressed to my friend SOM

quite devoted we got in one of the crowd
ed avenue cars. Charlotte could scarcely
find room TO spread her crinoline and ar
range her voluminous founces; | stood up
near her, there being no vacant seat.


After few minutes came in a poor wo-
man, who deposited basket cf clothes on
the platform, and held in her arms child
while little girl hung to her dress. Size
looked tired and weary, but there was no
vacant seat; to be sure Charlotte might
have condensed her founces, but she did
not. Beside her, however. sat a very
lovely and elegant young woman, who
seemed trying, by moving down closer to
others, to make space enough for the stran-
ger between herself and Miss D. At
last she succeeded, and with the sweetest
blush I ever saw, she invited the poor
burdened female to be seated Charlotte
D drew her drapery around her and
blushed at all, and she looked annoyed at
the proximity of the new conner, who was,
however, clean, and decently though thinly
clad


The unknown lady drew the little girl
upon her lap, and wrapped her velvet man
tie around the small, half clad form, and
put her muf over the half frozen little blue
hands.


So great was the crowd that I alone
seemed to observe. The child shivered-
the keen wind from the door blew upon
her unprotected neck. | saw the young
lady quietly draw from under her shawl a
little crimson WOODEN shawl, which she
softly put on the shoulders of the little one.
The mother looked on with confused won
der. After short time she rose to leave
the car, and would have removed the shawl,
but the unknown gently whispered, mo,
keep it for her." The woman did not an
swer, the conductor hurried her out, but
her eyes swan IN tears, which no one saw
but me. noticed her as she descended
to basement, and l hastily marked the
house.


Soon after my unknown also arose to
depart, was in despair, for I wanted to
follow and discover her residence, but
could not leave Miss D.


How glad, then, was to see her bow
ing, as she passed out, to a mutual ac-
quaintance who stood in the doorway
From him, ere many minutes, | had learn
ed her name and address


To shorten the story as much as posi-
ble that lady is my wife. In the small in
cident which introduced her to me she
showed her real character. A few days
after our marriage I showed her the bless
cd crimson shawl, which had redeemed
from its owner, and shall always keep as
memento. There are sometimes pleasant
things to be found even in unexpected
places. Certainly, I may be said to have
picked up my wife in the cars.-LJe H.

Well may the agricultural laborer be
called working man., for truly he does
little else than work. His eating and
sleeping are cut down to the minimum that
shall suffice to keep him in trim for work
ing. And the consequence is, that VIXEN
he does get holiday, he does not know
what to make of himself; and in too many
cases he spends it in getting drunk. I
know places where the working men have
no idea of any play, or any recreation, ex-
cept getting drunk And if their over
wrought wives, who must nurse FIVE or six
children, prepare the meals, tidy the house
in fact, do the work which occupies
three or four servants in the house of the
poorest gentleman-if the poor over
wrought creatures can contrive to find a
blink of leisure through their waking hours,
they know how to make no uobler use of
it than to gossip, rather ill-naturedly, about
their neighbors' affairs, and especially to
discuss the domestic arrangements of the
squire and the parson. Working men and
women too frequently have forgotten how
to play; it is so long since they did it, and
they have SO little heart for it. And God
knows that the pressure of constant care,
and the wolf kept barely at arms length
from the door, do leave little heart for it,

have so much in your power, try to infuse

having taken the precaution to soften his
peas by boiling them, tripped lightly aud
merrily over the ground the other, who
had not gumption enough to turn his hard

is pretty much the same in our pilgrimage
