ORIGINAL ESSAY.
For the Bedford Gazette.
PKoexm or civn.iz.vTioN.
BY HAKRY MO It EL AM).
Our modern lord of song, Shelley, has
said that "naught may endure but
mutability." Paradoxical as this ex
pression appears, it may, nevertheless,
be considered true. On all sides, the
world presents one vast scene of inces
sant mutation. The myriad forms of
animal life spring forth into being, en
joy an ephemeral existence, perish and
pass away. One generation of men
pursuesanother to thcgrave; and the fa
ther descends to the tomb that his place
may lie filled by one who was but a
short time before, an infant prattling
onhisknee. The breath of thoDestroy
er, Time, blows upon the monuments
of human power and skill, and they
crumble intodust. Seas are now sweep
ing where once iitoM populous cities;
and some lone column is all that marks
where the princes of the earth had
reared their stateliest, palaces. Em
pires have risen and grown until na
tions quailed before them, when they
were suddenly swept away hv some
newer power. Dynasties have fallen,
customs have become obsolete, laws
have perished, even religions have van
ished like "a tale that is told." Every
where we behold the same wild career
of change, of mingled dissolution an i
reproduction, of vigor and decay. Kv
erything we see is hastening to its de
struction, that new forms may arise up
on its ruins, and run the same rapid
course toward the goal of death. Is all
this, then,indeed, nothing but chaos?
Is it no more than a lawless tumult of
conflicting principles, without object or
system? Does it tend to no results?
Must the human race, likea blind mill- i
horse, travel forever the same unvary- •
ing ground, grinding out, hopelessly, j
the self-same evil products? Far from it. j
Where our imperfect vision can see but I
wild confusion, there exists harm on i- j
ous order. Where we can see no plan, I
every element fulfils the mission as
signed it by Omniscience, j/ook out
upon the hosts of shining worlds that
crowd the arch of heaven. The mind
Ls bewildered, lost, in contemplation of
the countless throng, and all seem scat
tered there by the wildness of acci
dent, and yet each rolls swiftly and
surely on its predestined circle, depart
ingnoiota from it, in itscourse through
infinity and eternity.
So it is with the history of mankind.
Through all its strange vicissitudes
the reflecting mind can observe the op
eration of one mighty principle lead
ing on to the accomplishment of as
mighty purposes. On all is written
the great law of Progress. This is, in
deed, the distinguishing mark of our
species, obviously dividing it from the
beasts that perish. One after another,
the generations may pass from the
stage of action in solemn array, going
down to the dead. Empires may sink
into ruins, and whole nations be swept
from the face of the earth as by the
breath of the pestilence, but the course
of the whole race is still onward. Sci
ence goes calmly on, adding little by
little to its ever accumulating store, j
and evolving one important principle
after, another, while philosophy, from
time to time, throws some new ray of
light upon the mysteries of the uni
verse.
The first idea comprised in the word
civilization is the notion of progress or
development. It awakens the idea of
a people advancing, of a people in a
course of improvement and ameliora
tion. Besides the progress and ameli
oration of social life, another develop
ment is comprised in our notion of civ
ilization, the development of individ
ual life, the development of the hu
man mind and its faculties, the devel
opment of man himself.
It includes two elements; the first of
these is the development of the facul
ties and powers of the individual. The
breast of the savage is a sealed casket
of precious jewels. Although endow
ed with capabllitcs for all that is great
and good, he has noopportunity of dis
playing them, and is unconscious of
their existence. They lie smothered
and buried beneath a mass of low cares,
sordid appetites and stormy passions.
Now, in the progress of civilization
these faculties will be developed by ex
ercise and discipline. No one will at
tempt to deny that the man of to-day
is not a different being from him of
five centuries ago. He is made to par
take more freely of knowledge, is ed
ucated to greater mental vigor and ac
tivity, and is taught to employ his ilow
ers upon a much more extended circle'
of objects.
The second element is, the improve
ment ofsociety, of the relation of men,
one to another. In all the under con
ditions of mankind, the individual is
i njured, opj tressed and deprived of some
portion of his birth-right. In the best
state of society, he is left to the guid
ance of his own enlightened will, so
far as is compatible with the right and
liberty of his associates. The perfection
of civilization will, therefore, be found
in that state where each member, after
the greatest possible amount of moral
and intellectual cultivation, enjoys the
greatest possible amount of personal
freedom. If we refer to history, we
will perceive that society has been con
stantly and surely advancing towards
that goal of perfection, and never has
she retrograded but temporarily ; and
no real and iniportantimprovement or
amelioration once made, has ever been
lost. The knowledge of especial facts
may have been lost, certain processes
of art may have been forgotten, but a
great principle, once enunciated, under
stood and acted upon, enjoys unfading
life. It endures in the immortality of
truth ! The earliest stage of civiliza
tion took its rise in the East. Exam
ples of it may still be seen in Egypt
and Assyria; and some such nations as
China stand, to-day, in their sombre
significance, as they stood centuries
ago. This society is characterized by
an iron despotism, both physical and
spiritual. The dominant castes were
the military and clerical; that held an
undisputed sway over the bodies and
properties of the men, whilst this as
sumed a far more dreadful despotism
j over their spirits. This period, at
; length, drew to a close. It faded away
i from the shores of the Mediterranean
j like a dream of the night, thus making
: room for the development of a better
| state. We pass on to Grecian eiviliza
; tion, and contrasting her "golden era"
I
j with the civilization of earlier times,
i we readily perceive the advance she
f made. In those days the voice of the
i bard was heard in the princely hall and
in the peasant's hut, singing the ex
j ploitsof heroism, the charms of beau
|ty and the praise of virtue. Cities
i poured out their shouting population
i to welcome and lead back, in triumph, !
| the poet or rhetorician, who had borne
| off the olive wreath from the Olympic
! Games. Orators contended, in noble
j strife, who should most enlist the at
[ tention and direct the councils of an as
! sembled people. Historians recorded
tiie spirit-stirring narrative of battle,
and the mighty deeds of their heroes.
Beneath the pencil there glowed bright
er lines and shapes more lovely than
those of earth. The breathing marble ;
was wrought into forms as beauteous as j
a poet's dream. Science investigated j
the varied phenomena with which she
found herself surrounded ; philosophy
arose and shone brightly, and every
wherean impulse was given to thought.
Who, then, would say that there
has been no progress in civilization?
that Greece, in her palmy days,
when the brightness of herglory shone
in such full and beautiful effulgence,
was not far in advance of the earlier
! stages of civilization? If we pass on,
through a long lapse of years, we shall
see that the present condition of society
approximates more nearly to perfec
tion than that of any previous age
that the highest and most perfect civ
ilization the world has ever seen, exists
at present.
When William Penn established his
little band of men upon the banks of
the Delaware, on a principle of the
fullest religious liberty, this principle
extended itself over the continent, and,
uniting with others that were floating
through the minds of men, was, final
ly, embodied in the Declaration of Jn
dependen.ee by the hand of one who
combined, in himself, the qualities of
the statesman, the philosopher and the
philanthropist, the immortal Thom
as Jefferson, Its doctrines were re
ceived with rapturous avidity by
the friends of humanity through
out the world, and, wherever it
has gone, it has called iorth a quck re
sponse from the deep heart of man,
sounding to the slave of ages, like the
voice of /IODIC to the .captive exi'e, and
to tyrants like the voice of an archan
gel pronouncing their doom. Stand
ing, as we do to-day, we can look back
through the dim vista of antiquity,
and see each stage, in the progress of
civilization, guided by the experience,
and enriched with the learning and
arts of the preceding, whilst ice enjoy
the fruits of all their labors. We en
joy manifold, inestimable advantages,
granted to no other people, and stand
at a height to which those of past
ages dared scarcely aspire. Alt! lough
I the smoke of battle obscured the sky,
i
and the tumult of revolution filled the
{ air through four years of bloodiest
: strife, the principle of progress has been
unimpeded, and the great problem of
man's capacity for self-government has
been solved. When we contemplate,
for a moment, this beautiful fabric of
self-government, whose foundations
are Liberty, Equality and Independ
ence, the numberless schemes for social
improvement, the loud demands for
universal education, the diffusion of
light and knowledge, the great perfec
tion the arts and sciences have attained,
the power and richness of our litera
ture, we are led to exclaim, "Mighty,
indeed, lists been the progress of eivil
zation !" And this ever-swelling tide
of human progress will never be check
ed, for it takes its place under the laws
of a mighty destiny, whose course can
uo more be impeded by the feeble
power of man, than can that of ail the
countless orbs, that rush, rolling and
burning, through space, as they swell
the choral song of the spheres, to the
praise of llim that sitteth on the throne
forever!
THE "SITCA.TIOH" SOETII.
[From the Louisville Journal, Deo. 8. ]
Webut utter one of the most obvious
of truths when we say that it is impos
sible for the North and the South to re-1
main permanently or for any consider- j
able time in their present relations to
each other. Those relations are anoma
lousand unnatural. They must inevita
bly Change soon in one way or another.
ITow the change is to be wrought and
what is to be its character, time will re
veal—we cannot, Our anticipations are
not joyous.
There can be no doubt, that the Bouth,
oppressed, humiliated, treacherously
wronged, cruelly disappointed in all her
rational hopes and just expectations,
treatedcontumelionslyand inbad faith,
and beholding no reliable indication of
future justice on the part of the North,
is yielding gradually to the natural in
fluences of strong and outrageous pro
vocation. Her resentment toward the
North is continually growing deeper
and more intense. Her feeling in regard
to that section is tending towards anti
pathy, and even revenge. Her dislike
of those whom she considers her tyrants
and despots is greater than it was a year
ago and far greater than it was two years
ago. Her patience has been extraordi
nary, but it has not proved indomitable.
Though she is neither biustering nor
noisy, the fire of her nature is not
quenched. Every month she cares less
and less for restoration, and, if deferred
for any long period, she will in all prob
ability be utterly indisposed to accept
it at all.
The majority of the Northern people,
if the Radicals constitute the majority,
are blind. Prejudice and passion have
covered with a thick film their slight
less orbs. They cannot discern what
the nation's prosperity and safety re
quire. The country's condition is at
present most wretched. It is almost
exactly the condition which, at terrible
sacrifices, we fought nearly four years
to avert. We carried on war to prevent
the Uniou from being divided, but vir
tually and for nearly all practical pur
poses it is divided. Weare scarcely bet
ter offin respect to Union now than we
should have been, if the Confederates
had won a triumph, established their
independence, and accomplished all
their purposes. If the existing state of
affairs is to endure, all the sacrifices of
the war were in vain. The ten excluded
States are of no benefit to us. We de
rive no advantage from our connection
or quasi-connection with them. As a
distinct nation, they would, if a South
ern nation and Northern nation could
keep the peace toward each other, be as
advantageous to us as they are now, if
not far more so. Therefore by holding
them as they are, we grossly wrong not
only them, but also ourselves.
WHAT A BEETLE C \N t Do.—The pos
sibility of a great change being intro- (
duced by very slight beginnings may :
be illustrated by a tale which Laekman '
tells of a vizier, who, having offended
his master, was condemned to perpet- 1
ual captivity in a lofty tower. At night ;
his wife came to weep below his win- 1
dow. "Cease your grief," said the sage; '

VOL. 61.—WHOLE No. 5,377
1 KILLING I loos.—We copy the fol
lowing from the German town Tde
yraph:—" Killing hogs is a business in
which the whole community is inter
ested, and perhaps a snndl portion ac
quainted with. It is termed 'butcher
ing,' and is often carried on in a butch
ering stylo, while it isa business worthy
of being conducted in a decent and sci
entific way. I do not propose going
into a long programme of telling bow
to catch a hog, and how to hold him,
Ac., but to throw out a few hints.
Do not suffer the hog to be run over
and worried by men, boys and dogs,
getting his blood and llesii heated, just
before killing. L believe that is one
cause of meat spoiling. Sometimes we
drive a hog or two to a neighbor's so as
to "kill together," as it is termed mak
ing use of the same force, same fire and
other fixings; and we have known the
haujsaml shoulders of hogs thus driven
to come out a little ihort before the next
summer was over.
Let the hogs be killed with as little
noise, and worrirnent, and excitement
as possible. A Jerseyman has one man
to go into the pen,select his victim, and
shoot him, or with a broad faced ham
mer (like a shoe maker's hammer)
knock down the hog, when other men
come immediately and stick, others drag
out, and go to scalding, and so on with
a large number of hogs.
Scalding machines have become very
common, and are good institutions; but
every body has not got one, and still
use tubs. I like the tub, and want noth
ing better for ordinary times; but I
want a robe and tackle, and one or two
hands to help work the hog. 1
would not allow a hog put into water
while there is a sign of life in him ; but
when dead, make an opening to the
gambrei strings and hook in, hoist the
hog and dip him head and shoulders
into the scald; do not let him remain
more than a second or two, lest the hair
"sets;" hoist him and air him, and if
needful, dip him, again and again, till
done; then hook into the lower jaw, and
scald the hinder parts. 1 like slow
scalds the best, as least likely to "set
the hair." While the hind parts are
getting scalded, the facie may be clean
sed. Too little attention is generally
given to cleaning the head, as also the
feet, leaving them for the women to
worry over by the hour in some cold
outkitchen. As soon as the hog is hung
up and washed off, let the head be taken
off and set upon a barrel or block and
regularly shaved and cleaned.
And now, whilespeakingof the head,
I want to say ho w 1 cut up a head. 1
lay it on its side a nd take off thejaw (or
lower jaw;) I thon saw down across the
face, above the eyes, but careful to run
into the eye sockets, and on through,
leaving the eye b; tils with thesnout end,
so that there is n< > further trouble with
gouging the eyes out of the face piece;
then, without an, v further separating of
the parts, starting between thenars, saw
up and down wise, not caring to extend
further down the: snout than to the saw
mark across the face, but clean through
at the other end. Now, having done
with the ears for handles, I cut them
off, then takeout the brains for pick
ling—skin the snout, and take off the
flesh for scrapple , and throw the nasal
organs away. Th e faces are to be coin
ed. I use a saw, but never an axe, in
cutting up a beg; consequently the
meat is clear of splinters and chips of
bones. In "cliininga hog" to cool, 1 saw
down the ribs instead of hacking them
with a hatchet. A small size hoghook
flattened, answers very well for takiug
off the hoofs and toe nails of a porker—
or you may use a pair of pincers.
THE < i it EAT TONTO BASIN IN ARIZO
NA.—The Commissioner of Agriculture
has received a communication from
Lieut. L)u Bois, Fourteenth United
States Infantry, dated at Fort M'Dowel I,
Arizona Territory. This post, estab
lished in 1865, is on the Rio Verde or
San Francisco river, near its junction
with the Salinas river. The Govern
ment reservation, comprising twenty
four square miles, lies 011 both sides of
the river, and a farm was started this
spring, an acequia, four miles in length,
being constructed for its irrigation.
Corn and sorghum was planted, and,
at tiie date of the letter, was harvest
ing; the corn stalks averaging fifteen
feet in height and the sorghum yield
ing its third crop since planting. \ cge
tabies of all descriptions flourish, and
cotton and wheat have been extensively
cultivated by the Indians.
Lieutenant Du fsois reports that he
had recently returned from a scout into
the mountains about eighty-five miles
to the northeast. After passing the Maz
aefceaaud Tonto ranges the party enter
ed an entirely new country. Mesquite
and grease-wood, sage bush and cactus
disappeared, and instead were found
oak, ash and black walnut groves scat
tered through the valleys, the moun
tains being covered with immense pine
and cedar forests—a paradise compared
with the sandy belt encircling it. This
section is supposed to be the Great Ton
to basin, so long sought for, and with
its gold and silver, of which indisputa
ble evidences were discovered, and its
quarries of slate, must in time become
j tlie greatest attraction of the Territory.
Thousands of tons of hay can be cut
yearly, ajl4 very little, if any, irriga
tion wilt be required for agricultural
purposes.

Thf ftreal Volcano In the Sandwich
Inlands.
The volcano of Kilatiea, according to
thecorrespondence in a Honolulu paper,
was again in eruptive activity on Sep
tum ber 17. He describes it as follows:
"All who feel interested in hot 'rock
soup' will be glad to learn that Kilauea
is again in a ruddy glow. Travelers
passing the crater on the 14th and loth
state that about one-third of it is in fu
sion. The seething, surging, spouting
and puffing,are l a Ate. Along the
western, northern and eastern w alls the
action was grand and awful. Just at
the foot of the path which leads down
into the crater the tierv river flowed in
subterranean tunnels, or under harden
ed lava bridges, while on the right and
left, for miles in extent.all was an open
incandescent sea. Whether the mural
walls of the crater will long stand the
lateral pressure, so as to allow the lava
to till the cauldron, and change the vol
cano from a pit to a conical crater, or
whether a rending will take place, thus
disgorging the fiery masses into the sea
us in lYlo, and at earlier periods, re
mains to be seen. The filling up the last
six months lias beeu marvelous, partly
from subterranean and vertical pres- ,
-ure, and more decisively from strbari- f
al deposits." /
