The Memphis ArdiGscke INDUCES in the
following sensible remarks upon the rela-
tive duties Of the white and the black man


We are the friend Of the black man. Let
him subside. Let him occupy his natural
position Of dependence and subordination.
Let him not be brought as a partaker in the
white mans Government. lt was not de-
signed that he should be legislator or
Judge or ruler over the white man. The
effort SO % make him is 4 fight not against
man but against God.


But 10 our Southern friends we have to
say let Us be not only just but generous.
Let us protect every right of the negro.
Let him not be oppressed in anything. Let
him feel that we Of the South are his friends,
that We wish 10 occupy him in all industrial
pursuits for which he is capable, that we
will give him ample rewards for probity,
industry and skill, aud that in no case
shall he 60 unrewarded when his contracts
are fulfilled and his fidelity unquestioned.


Let Southern men preach 20 them, and
Southern teachers educate them. We want
no Radical influence eXerted upon them
either in politics or religion, either in our
shops or fields, in the common walks Of life
OF in the appliances Of education.


At last the status Of the South has to be
fixed by the men Of the South. If We yield
20 Radical pressure, Mexico with its mongrel
population its banditti and its vices, its civil
wars and its unstable government is an ex-
ample Of what we must be. II We would
share the doom Of Mexico, let us guard
with vestal vigilance the Constitution of our
fathers. See to IL that the races are kept dis
tinct, just a. Con made them.

Nr. Edit0r-1 am u uch gratiieJ to learn,

| that the views expressed by me in hastily
written and improperly published private
letter Of August 22d, are virtually the same
as those of the party created at Philadelphia

l was aware that the democracy had been
making considerable progress in the right

attention to politics lately, the statement
from SO reliable source that the party had
overtaken as radical a person as myself,
somewhat startled me. assure you.

the dreadful public misfortune of the aboli>

the accuracy OF your iuiercnces. | sincerely

that your statement is strictly true, by the
publication Of the letter to which you allude,
and which is herewith furnished you for the
purpose. No on, could be more highly
gratiied than myself by being assured that
the old party to which once belonged really
entertained the sentiments expressed by me
in that letter; but, as at present advised, it
appears to me that this is rot entirely GER

views to take is to vote the Republican

Why to yon mountain turns the musing eye,
Whose sunbright summit Mingles with the sky
Who do these cliff OF shadowy tint appear
More sweet than all the landscape smiling near
It's distance lends enchantment to the view
And robes the mountain in its azure hue
Thus with delight we Iinger to survey;
The promised JOY of life's unmeasured scene
More pleasing seems than all the past has been
And every form that fancy can repair,
From dark oblivion grows diynely there.

A NOBLE CHARITY.-At the meeting OF
the Masonic committee on Tuesday eve
ming it was resolved to proceed at once to
organize male and female school for such
children of Masons as have no other means
of procuring an education. Two teachers
will be selected-one male and the other
female. We understand that the frater-
nifty, with that large-hearted liberality
characteristic of them, have provided a
fund which will probably be sufficient to
provide for the education of all such chill

mere mention of this fact is the highest

VoLTAIRE ON MARRIAGE Voltaire
said


"The more married men you have,
the fewer crimes there will be. Mar
riage renders man more virtuous and
more wise. An unmarried man is
but half of a perfect being, and it re-
quires the other half to make things
right; and it cannot be expected that
in this imperfect state he can keep the
straight path of rect;tude any more
than boat without an oar, or bird
with one wing can keep a straight
course. In nine cases out of ten,
where married men become drunkards,
or where they commit crimes against
the peace of the community, the
foundation of these acts was laid
while in single state, or where the
wife is, as is sometimes the case, an
unsuitable match. Marriage changes
the current of mans feelings, and
gives him center for his thoughts,
his affections and his acts. Here is
home for the entire man, and the
counsel, the affections, the example,
and the interest of his better half
keep him from his erratic courses, and
from falling into a thousand tempta-
tions to which he would otherwise be
exposed. Therefore, the friend to
marriage is the friend to society and
to his country"

A DUEL IN THE DARK.-We e are in.
formed that on Saturday night last &
bloody rencontre took place between
two men in the baggage car of pas
senger train on the Nashville and De
catur Railroad The difficulty started
in a passenger coach, and was the re-
suit of dispute in regard to the quail
ity of the whiskey each carried. Both
were probably more or less intoxica-
ted.


The conductor ordered them to leave
the car, if they wanted to settle the
matter, and not to be disturbing the
balance of the passengers.


The two then repaired to the bag
gage car, and after pacing off the pro
per distance, wheeled, and at a given
signal, fred their pistols. Neither of
them appeared to be hurt after the
shots.


At that moment the only light in the
ear, which shone from a lantern held
by the person who gave the signal,
were out suddenly, and the duellists
then grasped their knives and sprang
upon each other like tigers, cutting
and slashing at fearful rate. They
are both probably dead, or if living,
terribly lacerated.


Our informant did not learn the re-
suit of the affair, or the names of the
parties. The noise of the swiftly
moving train deadened the sound of
the bloody conflict, and it is probable
that very little is known about it

which may be recounted, yet if some.
thing more rises in the horizon of the Ut

multitude would pity as occupying de
Prived and painful position, yet deem
themselves happy when contrasted with a
poorer or more suffering lot.


Happiness seems to reside in the will

ingly resigns the good it has not, and is
grateful for the good bestowed, must be
the abode Of peace. 1t often happens
that the particular blessings conferred on
the individual are no. those which that
particular heart would choose for in
stance, wealth is often the portion that
would gladly be exchanged for health.
This secret dissatisfaction is the cause OF
much misery, and springs from lurking
disbelief in Providence for il we are
thoroughly persuaded that the circum>
stances of life are all blended by infinite
love not trife 10 that adjustment could
be altered. without, on The whole, taking

narkable power it smoothing to perfect
