That played with us in childhood,
Beneath the same blue sky ;
They joined with us in laughter,
And sang the same fond lay;
Bat those bright hours of pleasure
Were born—but to decay.
How many, 0 how many,
Are tossed by life's cold waves,
And unremembered dying,
To fill dishonored graves ?
A kind word may have brought them
From their bitterness and woe,
Or a loving smile have taught them
Of their pureness—long ago.
How many, 0, low many,
With riches at command,
Now scorn the poor lone outcasts
Of our bright and happy land ?
When a smile of recognition
May have lit some hidden flame,
That would burn with fond ambition,
And lend Futurity a name.

RICEDIOND, Va., Nov. 23, 1869
This lovely city, to be Celebrated
throughout all time as the objective. point
of the great war, is now peculiarly ex
ercised in view of the expected admiss
ion of Virginia again into the Union.—
We never shall get over wondering that
she, the mother of States and of states
men; should have left the sister fold, to
vindicate in battle her adhesion to a
stupid dogma. As the capital of the so
called Confederacy, it is natural that
Richmond should be the centre of much
prejudice, and the focus of many bitter
memories. But Richmond ought to be
the pioneer of the South in re-creating
that era of good feeling ; to establish
which is the mission of General Grant's
Administration, and which must super
vene if the South expects to hold up her
head in the sisterhood of States, and to
regain the influence which she voluntari
ly cast to the winds. However her states
men may condnot themselves when ad
mitted to the floor of Congress, the great
bond of brotherhood at last is the social
bond. And here the South has much to
do. Her social temrer is not concilia
tory. It is all folly to shut our eyes to
the fact that a deliberate, systematic ef
fort is made over all the South ; and in
influential quarters, to keep alive, in so
cial circles, the fires of sectional hate.
The South will never win at this game!
It disfigures her in all sensible men's eyes
when, after the great war in which her
valor and skill were so eminently dis
played, she descends to social spite.—
This worse than folly can injure none
but the Southern people. The old, mis
erable slang about "low Yankees" ought
to be at once repudiated and despised.—
In social life, our friends in the South
should have something better to' tati
about than to vie, one with the other, in
epithets levelled at "Yankees." When
sensible travellers hear this stuff, they
are pained and amused; pained at the
suicidal folly of men and women so de
pendent on the aid and good neighbor.
hood of the North, and amused at the
nonsense ;uttered, as if the breath of
spleen could diminish the stature of the
great and growing North, whose heart's
wish and hope is to behold a patriotic
and fully restored South, and that these
shall blend in a great future that will
know no sections. Whatever may be
said about "carpet-baggers" in the ab
stract, it must be conceded that the
South is responsible for all the annoy
ances of provisional government, and she
must admit that, without this agency,
her condition this day would be far
more remote from our fold than it is. It
is only in our Union that there is strength
—this the South has found out now by
actual experiment—an experiment that
she would try, though all the world of
honest manhood protested against it.—
Let the South stop and reflect, and they
will, at once, perceive that, after all, it
is to the firmness and magnanimity of
the North they owe even the cohesion,
the consistence, and the brightest hope
of progress and wealth that they enjoy
to-day. But for the firmness of the Na
tional legislation, the South would have
been in chaos. And wlzatev'er of good
shall spring up for them from the mild
and kind rule of General Grant, is found
ed on the logic of the war itself, whose
basis, after all, is in reconstruction acts.
It is only on the foundation of loyal suf
frage, built on the results of the war,
that any safety or future can be found
for the South. Left to the passions of
her leaders, and the folly of her heedless
masses, what pen can paint the confusion
and bloodshed which must have sniper
vened on the heels of the war ? *arse

Late S. C.
VOL, 1, NO. 48
the traitorous policy of these Northern
men who, professing so much for that
people, broke every pledge, falsified all
faith with them, lured them into a politi
cal condition that provoked the war,from
whose consequences they were pitifully
helpless to protect them, and to whose
insane post-war taotics they owe much
political misery. We are led into this
length of remark by facts that stare us
so plainly in the face. It was bad enough
when the South damned Longstreet as a
"Yankee traitor," because he had the
good sense to throw himself into that
reasonable position for which we aro
pleading. That treatment of Longstreet
did more to convince Northern men that
the South was still dangerously section
al than could all the efforts of party, for
it was their own voice that spoke. But
now, in these temperate times, when all
hands North are engaged in the honest
work of restoration, it is so senseless in
the South to sit down in the ashes of the
past, and amidst so much that is plead
ing to them of dignity and prime neces
sity, for Union, peace and statesman
ship, to stoop to pick up the small pre
judices again out of the kennel, and
spend precious time abusing the "low,"
"common" Yankees." This is laughable
withal.
In a long, extended trip through the
South last summer—ourself a Conserva
tive—at every step we were forced to
combat the suicidal oonduct that we are
here condemning. Then, on all hands,
they cursed and doubted General Grant,
whom, however, after Governor Walker's
election, they said was beginning to look
better to them. But in almost every
parlor the old secession songs were sung
with rare gusto, and quite a popular re-
Pain was pitched on to the funny song
about the "Old Rebel" who had killed a
tremendous number of Yankees. but who,
instead of being penitent, winds up his
musio after this fashion:
But I ain't agoing to ask a pardon
For what I did and am;
And if I'm reconstructod,
1 hope I may be d—d
Then, again, suoh spicy dialogues as
this sample, viz:
"Did you go to the party given by
—?" (a celebrated "Re.dictil.")
Southern gent. "No? I wouldn't be
seen with a Yankee; they're, at best, a
low, common set."
LI(ly, "I'd like to poison some of
them."
Young gent. "Yes; I know several
Yankee Generals who married Irish
chambermaids. It's a fact, I assure you.
1 I
know it to be so," &c., &o.
The above silly trash, for example,
was an actual conversation. And it is a
type of what is heard every day, and
acted every day, in responsible and ir
responsible Southern social life, And
why do we publish it; to injure the South,
to create prejudice against them? God
forbid, The best wish of our heart is to
see the Smith rise to her true stature, to
her first-class importance in wealth;
statesmanship and renown. But we
print what we do as a mirror ; into which
those people may look and see their own
folly. All the help of statesmanship will
avail little to reconstruct the country, if
this social nonsense, exclusiveness, rude
ness, creates and keeps alive sectional
disgust on the part df the North, and
real hatred against "Yankees" on the
part of the South.
Now, let no Southern hotspur affect
not to undee al the drift of our strict
ures. We are not striking at anybody,
nor are we charging this Social condi
tion of things as Negating to the whole
South: We affirm, however, that such
as ite have deplored is the prevailing
social Southern tone, and we lament to
say Unit this folly is. too manifest in the
city of Richmond. Fathers and broth
, eta may affect to protest that they re
gret but cannot help it. Excuses of that
sort beg the question, and dodge the re
sponsibility. All that the North wants
is patriotic reconstruction, based on in
terest and affection. There is no North
ern social circle where a Southern lady
and gentleman would not be welcomed,
and there is no decent Northern society
where the feelings of ex-rebels would be
wounded by taunts and flings at their
fall. Strange, most strange, this con
trast is between the sections, but so it
is. It comes, perhaps, from the loss of
slavery, which loss the South would sus
tain, against all Mr. Lincoln's protests
and warnings, and which, to them, has
been the greatest of all gains.
Now, Virginia is on the eve of admis
sion to a Union of which she has been
the pride and glory. All eyes are upon
her; all loyal hearts and hopes are with
her, Let her make haste to put down
this social curse, and re-assert her form
er title to hospitality and elevated senti
ment. We are nothing unless we are ono
country, and that means one people.--
This fact has been settled by a war
whose result, if honestly worked out,
will logioally be for the glorious good of
all. As the "Yankees" advance South,
they will not only carry with them strong
arms, and ploughs, and money, and good
men, and sweet and pretty women, but
the wags and humorists will be in the
train. 'And it will go heed with the
South if merry cartoons do not spring up
thick as blackberries, ridiculing a soolal
, exclusiveness" which, under all the
circumstances of contrast between the
two sections, Couldbe made quite telling,
and still require no Hogarth for their
execution. How much better than all
this is sterling good fellowship ?
The object some women have in blow
ing up their husbands is to have theta
