Post OFFIS, CONFEDRIT X ROADS, 1 (Wich i in the State uv K> mucky ) - February 7, 1809. J The die is mostly cast —gloom he settled like a dark spell onto Kentucky. The last vestige uv Conmi-sin the soot he wood promptly ishoo au excooshen agin em for costs. Ten or twenty niggers who sood wiiite men wuz sold out bob aud sinki rby the court for costs in sich soots, and when the costs didn't take all they bed, the Ju-tis Wood fine em for coutempt uv court for cumin before bitn at all. The nig gers after a few experiments declined to seek justis at that fountain head uv the ar ticle. Then agin in cases uv a-sau!t and battery and in inquests on the ded bodies uv nigters it wa> ne-sary to hev Pennibacker Justi- Niggers wich wuz found ded hangin to trees, and with bullet holes into em wuz reclerly found guilty uv dyin by visitation uv Providence. Ez they hedu't Votes uv coarse none uv the offi-hols wuf afraid uv em. I heard one uv em, wunst, who hea bin fined twenty dollars for striking Issaker Gavitt, wich hed in a playful mood chased his daughter thro the Corugrs, groaninly exclaim that he wi-ht he'd bin born in Ire 'and instid uv Atneriky. But now how will it be with its? They will vote and ihi-y hev a majority. Pollock will be made Justis uv the l'eece. Joe Big ler Asvssor, and a nigger cons'able. Wat sckoority hev wc? Niggers will aoo us and get judgments, and the nigger constable will serve execoosben onto us. Why, Deekin Pugram owes etiuft" to niggers to swamp every aker he holds, and Bascont wood be sweat severely. And when wc punch one uv their In ads for insolence to us, then to he arrestid by a nigger, and taken afore a Justis electid by niggers, and be fined or perchance imprisoned! It's too much. When this happens will the Corners, I ask. be a place for gentlemen uv prid and cul cher ? Nay. And to this it must come. I see one weak spot in the amendment, ■ viz; It provides that no State shel disfran- I chise anybody beeox of race or color, but ' don't say that people can't be disfranchised f.-r other causes, and I eagerly seczed hold uv that tz a ship wreckt marinerdoes to a i plank. "Wat good will that do us?" groaned the j Deekin. "Why we kin disfranchise em on the I akore uv ignorance!" remarkt I "ihe nig-, ger- can t all read?" "No moro kin 1" replied Isaker Gavitt j mournfully "I'd be cut out with em." And upon giviu the matter matoor re j flection I saw that thcr was no bottom to that hope. By makin readin a lest, the sooperior class at the Corners wood be more 1 hurt than the inferior class. Thank Heaven ten States kin block this j game and save us this torment. Oh that j they may do it. O, that this last bitter draft may be spared us. May the Dimoeri- '■ sy uv the North put forth their strength ! and -ave us this last degradation. PF.TUOI.EI M A*. NASBY, P. M. (Wich means Postmaster.) RUE FREE TRADERS' DILEMMA. The Free Traders arc remarkable for the i harmony and consistency of their arguments relative to the pending Tariff bill. 1. If they denounce it as "class Icgi.-la , lion" in favor of manufacturers, they admit j that it will stimulate manufacturers into ad ditional activity, and, by leading more to go : int - manufacturing, will cheapen our supply of manufactured goods; but. 2. As this is what the whole country wants, they deny that it will stimulate manufactures, and therein deny that it is j class legislation. 3. They insist that the reason why it will i not stimulate manufactures is because so ' many will rush into manufactures that em peritioti will break d--wn the bu-iness; but 4 T ey thereby admit that, so far from manufactures receiving no stimulus, the ; stimulus will be excessive. 5. If they admit that it will aid mauufac- I turcs, they uiu-.t admit that manufacturers, in order to avail themselves of its aid, will compete for more men. and that wages will i rise; but. 6. As this would cause all working-men ] to go for the tariff, they deny that it will raise the price of wages, but assert that it will rai-e the cost, of living. 7. In asserting that the working-man's cost of living will rise, it would follow, as he j livea on food raised by the farmer, that the farmer must get more for his prodnce. S. But, as this would cause farmers to go | for the tariff, it becomes necessary to deny that the farmer receives the increased price which the working cla-ses aud townspeople I pay for their food. | 0. If they allege that a high tariff will ' check importations, it follows that it will leaen the annua! balance of trade against yus and ike flow of gold and bonds abroad to pay for the excess of out consumption over our production; but 10. Ah all our real statesmen and sensible business men regard our enormous ouifl.iW of bonds as the greatest evil of our situation and whatever willcbeek it a-national saving and eoßnomy, the Free Traders are driven to allege ihat our imports of goods under a high tariff will be as great as under a low one. U. Admitting that our importations will not be lessened, it follows arithmetically 'list on the same importations a high tariff will increase our revenne; but, 1-' Ah this is just what our Treasury needs and the people want, thav, while still insisting that a higher tariff will not lessen importations, deny that it will increase our revenue: thus in effect maintaining that 35 per cent, and 50 per cent, of the same quantity amount to the same sum. In this dilemma, they denounce all pro tective tariffs as class legislation for the ex clusive benefit of manufacturers, which however, would speedily ruin them; as a prohibitory tariff, which, however, docs cot diminish imports; as a measure which at once increases our importations, and yet de stroys our revenue by the excess of tax it collects from every imported article; as a measure which will raise all prices to buyers and lower all prices to sellers; and, finally, as a gigantic robbery of the people by a few, the proceeds of which, after the commission of the crime, are in nobody's possession, but are diffused so evenly over the whole people that nobody has made a cent tiy it, while evervbody has lost ! Query: Can all these things be 'l—New York Tribune. FOLK GREAT EXPLORERS. There are three great travelers Vrbom the Editor of the Magazine knows well, and whom at various times he has specially in troduced to its readers. The scenes of their explorations lie far apart, all of them being in regioni heretofore almost unknown No three men can be found differing tnor widely in personal appearance. Mr. Charles F. Hall, to whom it has been reserved bj bis own individual labor to clear up the mystery of tbe fate of Sir John Franklin at.d his associates—a task which has been vainly attempted by expeditions fitted ou by the Government of Great Britain and th-- United States—born, we think, certain! reared, in the Great West —is a man ol large frame, with light hair, blue eyes, am flowing beard, a very Viking in aspect; rather slow of speech—a man whom upoi fir-t introduction one would be apt to set down as the most diffident person he evei met. Mr. John Ross Browne, now American Minister to China, born in Irelui d but from Itoyhood an American, is rathe above middle height, spare of figure, wit I scanty dark hair, broad forehead, and tin reneral air of a scholar rather than of an ex ■lorer. Mr. Da Chaillu—our "Frieno : Paul" —is, though born in America, ot French descent, and educated in France: uid while he writes our language with per fect facility, and speaks it with fluency, it i with a marked Parisian intonation. He i hardly five feet four in stature, and slighr in form; we doubt if he weighs a huttdre pounds. His clo.-ely cropped hair is a i b!„tk as a raven's wing; and were it not lot the flashing of a most brilliant black eye, h> is about the last man whom one wou! dreaut of being the tno-t daring traveler ol ; our day. To those three we add the name |of another whom we only know from hi | books, but who yet always seems to us !ik< ' a personal friend; David Livingstone. | Scotch by birth, hut African by lon. residence and wide travel. A spare, wiry man of middle suture—we judge from hi portrait—wi:h strongly inatked and rathei rugged features, by no means a notabh j looking personage. But these three men whom we know possess one characteristiciu common. Th-) are lovable men. Children —those in stinctive judges of human nature —take t<- them at once. Let cither of them be seated at your fireside, and in half an hour —you can not teil how—all your young people will be clambering around them. So, too. with uncivilized men, who are hut big children, and quite often very bad ones. They take to these men. Livingstone al- j clearly belongs to this class. There is hardly in all story any thing more touching that the perfect faith with which the wild Mako kilo follow- d Livingstone across the whol breadth of Africa, and for weary yea g awaited his return f.-om England to lean them back from the sea to their inland homes. If a man lacks this p. rsonal mag netism, no niattei what else he may have, he will not be one of those great traveler whose books men, women, and children love to read. There is nothing more notable in the narratives of these travelers than th< perfect devotion which these wild attend ants bear to their civilized companions. It is the story, over which so many tears have been shed, of Robinson Crusoe and his man Frid iv. —.4. II Guernsey, in Harper's ! Magazine. TIE views which folks entertain respect ing economy arc often extremely curious. A giil who is pretty, good-tempered, sen-i --ble, an close of summer. Officers and soldiers are supposed to walk about creaking ; mules it is said, can only bray at midnight ; and 1 have heard it hinted that the carcasses of cattle rattle inside their hides, arid thai snakes find a difficulty in bending their bod ies, and horned frogs die of apoplexy. Chickens hatched at this season, as old Fort Yurners say, come of the shell ready cooked; bacon is eaten with a spoon ; and buttei must stand an hour in the sun before the flies become dry enough for use. The In dians sit in the river with fresh mud on their heads, and by dint of constant dipping and spriokling manage to keep lrom roast ing, though they u-uilly come out pa' boiled. Strangers coming suddenly upon a group squatted in water up to their necks, with their uiud-covered heads glistening in the sun, frequently mistake them for seals. Their usual mode of traveling down the riv er is astride of a log, their heads only bein* visible. It is enough to make a man stare with amazement to see a group of mud balls floating on the current of a hot day, laughing and talking to each other as if it were the finest fun in the world. I have never tried this mode of locomotion, but have an idea it must be dedghtfu! in such a glowing sum uier climate. — \J.. Ross Browne. TUE FISCAL FAILURES OF NEW YOKK RAILROADS. The fiscal failures of New York railroad companies, as com pat ed with the succes uid economical mruagemeut of (he tatto rind of road in Pennsylvania, is one of th wonders which now attract the attention •f financiers in all parts of th country. As an example, tbe New York and Era ailroad has been a fiscal failure from its in ception. through its construction and dur ing its operation. The originators of tin •nterprise wete imbued, as after results iroved, with the purpose of making it a -windl-, so that from leading officers down to insignificant subordinates, wlio had th. haudling of funds belonging to tbe com oany, a system of thieving has been prae tised such as is not recorded in any ol rhe criminal annals of the world. Th> master spirits at the bead of this villainy were and are those who assumed that all th financial ability aod liberal enterprise ol the country are centred in New York. In heir opinion there is no business judgment o fie found elsewhere than in New lotk: out for the last six moDths, as competition has slowly rai.-ed the curtain behind which i his "business judgment" conducted it iperations, the country is forced to behold a development of thieving and false pre tence which have no parallel anywhere but a New York. In contrast with these aet if bold viilainy how gratifying it is to be hold, in the fair statements of the repotts of Boards of Directors of Pennsylvania rail roads, the honesty and just dealing with *hieh all these enterprises are conducted. There is not a road in thi? State that fails ti psy its stockholders a just and even profi table dividend. There is no scandal at t ached to our great, roads such as disgrac he managers of the roads of New 1 ork These are simple facts without any det3ib 10 set them off to advantage, which reflect the very highest credit on the energy and honesty of the railroad men of Pennsylvania. —State Guard. ANECDOTE OL GENERAL WASH INGTON. Washington had accepted an invitation (Vom Arnold to breakfast with him al West Point on the very day the plot was discover J, but was prevented from keeping his en gagement by what men call chance —by the earnest request, namely, of an old officer, near whose station they passed, to spend the night there and inspect, some works ir> the neighborhood. Next day, while Wash ington, with his staff, including La Fayette, were seated at a tabic at this officer s quarters a despatch was brought to the Americat general, which he immediately opened and nad, then laid it down without comment. No alteration was visible in his countenance but he remained perfectly silent. Conver sation dropped among his suite; and, after some minutes, the general, beckoning La Fayette to follow him, passed to an inner apartment, turned to his young friend with out uttering a syllable, placed the fatal des patch in his hands, and then, giving way to an ungovernable burst of feeling, fell on his „e;k and sobbed aloud. The effect produ ced on the young French marquis, accus lomed to regard his general (cold and dig nified in his usual manner) as devoid of the usual weaknesses of humanity, may be imagined. "I believe," said La Fayette in relating this anecdote, "that this was the onlv occasion, throughout that long and sometimes hopeless straggle, that Washing ton ever gave way, even for a moment, un .{OR a reverse of fortune; and perhaps I WA. he only human being who ever witnessed in him an exhibition of feeling so foreign to Li tem perament. As it was, he recovered himself before I had perused the communi cation that had given rise to bis emotion; and when we returned to his staff not a trace remained on his countenance either of grief or despondency."—Feb. No. of Lip pincott's Magazine. EARLY RISING Anti early-risers will do well to note that one hour lost in morn ing naps will put back all the business of the day; that one hour gained by car y rising will make filteen days in a year, or three full years in a long lifetime. IT is the little troubles that wear the heart out. It is easier to throw a bomb-shell a mile than a feather —even with the artil lery. Forty little debts of one dollar each will cause you more trouble and dunning than one big one of a thousand. "I would bestow my daughter," said Themistocles, ''upon a man without tnouey, t rather than upon money without a man. VOIs. 42: NO. 9. A TRUE MARKIACE. I believe there are few thoughtful men who have not come to regard as one of the least explicable amocg the great riddles of the earthly eeonoroy the rarity of well assor ted marriages. It might be so different, one cannot help thinking. The adaptations for harmony so wonderful ! The elements it happiness so manifold and so rich ! Vet how often—how miserably sometimes—it all miscarries ! The waters of Puradise turntd to fountains of bitterness—the gifts of iiearen perverted to cutses upon earth ! I do not mean that there are few unions yielding reasonable comfort, friendly rela rions, a life free from open quarrel or secret heart-burniug; but I speak of very marriage without flaw or jar—a mating alike of the material, with its intangible affinities and it-wondrous magnetisms, and of the imma terial principle within' that survives the death-change. I speak of a heart home pervaded by harmony not only unbroken immutable as that of the spheres; felt to be so by those whom it blesses, cairn-, satisfies; a social state to which, when man and wo man attain, there remains nothing in the way of earthly need or acquisition, save daily bread, to be coveted or prayed for. Some think that, in this trial-phase of our existence, no such state of harmony and happiness is to be found. Aiming the few whodchndit none of these skeptics will have place. No entrance into that temple except for those who believe ! Without 'aith in the tiood and the Beautiful—the Good that is felt, not seen—the Beautiful (hat must be conceived before it is realize d —a man is shut out from the highe-t enjoy ment. And such a man can do little to meliorate the world or elevate his race.— ' Beyond the Breakers," in Feb. No. ol Lippincolt's Magazine. MR. BEECHER ON WORTHLESS MEN.—I think the most piteous thing in this world is never written. 1 have read many a poem, and novel, and tale, that made me cry—and whether they were true or not, it was all the -arne; but of all affecting poems and novel and tales, I think life itself is the most af fecting—common life, just as it turns out ol the world. And when Igo out to measure men, 1 >ay to myself, as one after anothe: they pass before me. "Suppose that man should drop out of life, what would be come of him?" It pains me to see how worthless men are—to see how men stand in life, and what they are I have souietime to perform the burial service over men of whom I could not say a word, and of whom if I expressed what I felt, I should have
