BUTLER, Jan. 30,18G4.
MESSRS. EDS.—I aui sincerely gratified
with the progressive step you have taken
j for the reformation of society in the far
abused and ever-despised borough of But
ler. The step taken has teen a radical
one throughout, for, as the filthy and po
luting weed cannot be exteiminated by
lopping off its top branches, but must be
extracted root and branch froui its native
element, so the trunk, and not the branch
es, of social tceeds must Le hewed and
hacked before aoy real, radical reforma
tion can be effected, or before their blight
ing and devastating influence can be en
tirely counteracted. As a chemical body
takes a certain distinctness of compound,
from the constituent or elementary parts
uniting to form the whole; so the charac
ter of community is shaped and deter
mined by the sta'us and deportment of
its iu liviuual aiu eiouie.Ua y oiom .er

o| society. Or, in o.her words, as are the
j parents, so wi;i the chilifen be; an.l
1 ibe ehiiiiien. so liniM our iuiute men ant i
I women be, and upon their qualities and
principles, whether viruiiius ur vicious,
must be based th» whole superstructure of
the fabric called society. " With adaman
tine lungs and throats of brass," w«?|jy
aloud our patriotism. But let us see if
we are not very inconsistent, or else very
deicient in that anciently coveted quality.
What is it? A short, but comprehensive
definition is—love of country. Do we
really and truly love our oountry? Yes,
Reply ten tliousan 1 voices ; for blood and
t; easute incalculable are saei ificed to main
tain its honor and dignity among the na
tions of the earth.
Home endearments, and attachments of
friendship and affection, the most ardent
and sincere, are all foregone for the s ike
of country and love for its cause. The
pulpit, the pen and the press, all vie with
each other in eulogiums and encomiums
upon the country and its institutions, un
til the English vocabulary is beggared > 112
words of praise and eloquence. But is
not true patriotism something more than
this? Does it not, like charity, begin at
home? If the dignity, stability, and jier
petuity of a country, are based upon the
private virttle of the citizens, is he a lover
of his country, is he a true patriot, who
neglects the culture of the moral faculties
of the children of to-day—the men and
women of to-morrow —the future citizen
and ruler ? ■ Many have been the. causes
vsigned for the downfall of the ancient
Republics of Greece and Rome. But,
after all, their destruction must be attrib
uted to the immorality and licentiousness
of the public, consequent upon the decay
of private virtue—in short, to a lack of
the patriotism ol moral culture. And
Dr. Dick, than whom, there is no author
ity more eminent in such matters, declares
that society cannot exist unless a controll
ing power be placed upon the will and ap
• petite of private individuals; that it is
ordained in the eternal constitution of
things, that men of vicious principles can
not be free ; their passions forge their fet
ters. Who, then, does his whole duty to
his country, when he Teaves his children
to the freedom of their own will—when
he instills into their minds no principles
of obedience and subordination—when he
neglects to teach them, that courtesy is
due to all and reverence to some —when
he allows them to attend the street schools,
the schools of the comer and doggery,
amid the darkness and vices of the night,
when ho knows that " one sickly sheep
soon infests the flock ?" No; such a pa
rent is untrue to himself, untrue to his
children and society, and untrue to his
country and his God. How the subject
increases, how deep a shading the picture
receives and how the heart sickens and
saddens in contemplation of the thought,
that these same children must be our fu
me guides and govern >rs.

A .Southern Refugee.
Geo. 11. Baker, Esq., the well known au
thor, has just published an interestingstate
ment of facts obtained from a I iyalSou:h
e:ii lady who escaped to the .North, and !
is now in Philadelphia, lie says:
The common understanding in the North I
is that the southern people are uniteu |
agaiust us; that men. women and child- j
rcn regard us with a hatred which their .
traitorous friends are over ready to justi- j
ty, and at which even loyal tuinds do not
wonder. '1 his idea will be somew hat mod
ified by narrative. Even in the City ol j
J Charleston, where the first daring blow was |
) struck against the National authority—a !
| city winch is now looked upon as the every |
j focus of the rebellion—there exists a uum- j
ber of loyal people who are bold enough j
to perform the duties of humanity, despite !
the jeers and threats of their fellow citi- j
zens. Ihe lady whose history forms the i
subject of my communication was a '
coii j-tent and out-spoken Union woman j
from the time of the secession convention
until the day of her departure from j
Charleston; uor was she without allies, j
who sus.ained her with their sympathy, j
and.put into her hands the means by which j
she accomplished great good towards our
suffering prisoners of war.
The facts which the lady relates aresus
tainc I by documentary evidence, princi- 1
pally letters from the prisoners themselves, ;
which would fill a small volume. All these '
I have examined with care, and compared I
with the clear and truthful story of the
lady, so that I have not a doubt of theac- ;
curacy of my statement. Many of the !
letters are from officers of the army and j
navyof theUnited States, who were known t
to be prisoners of war in Charleston at the
time of the occurrence, und they all breathe t
one spirit of thankfulness towards the j
good angel which Providence sent to them :
in the midst of horrors without parallel !
1 anywhere but in the South. Souieof the
prisoners declare that they owe theirlives
entirely to her exertions, and all of them
express warmth of gratitude that must
arise from very deep feelings.
When the first Union prisoners were
sent to the Charleston jail the universal
sentiment amongst the rebel citizens was, j
'• Now we have some of these Yankees iu
our power, Ictus treat them according to |
their deserts." To the shauie of the sold- I
iers who had the prisoners iu charge, they
permitted themselves to be iufluenced by I
the popular clamor.
were treated with the' ut- j
most or rather, tliuv v.oie -liu! up
in a filthy jail, an 1 sys:emar cally neg'ect
c 1 in every way, a state of things to wh'eli
any trea'ment, however eve< i w iM have
been rne-e ful. They tre-2 s- I of
iei'cl tlitig <_ ,u. /were
almost epricei of water, they weve nev
er permitted to pass the confines of their
filthy chamber, they were abused in per
| boo, aud they tjrere threatened with instant,
j death on the slightest infraction of the
military rules of the jail. Hearing of
this deplorable slate of affairs, the lady
before mentioned obtained access to the
prisoners by means ijot necessary to speci
fy, and found such condition to be eren
worse than it had been described to her.
She umiediately set herself to the task
of alleviating their suffering. She secret
ly collected from theUniou men of Charles
ton thirty-five hundred dollars, to which
sum she added five hundred dollars of her
own small fortune, and with this money
she from time to time purchased such pro
visions and comforts as she thought nec
essary for the prisoners, and privately in
troduced her stores during her daily visits
ito the jail. Nor did her kind offices end
| here. She and her children faithfully
j nursed those of the prisoners who were
sufferin" i?!'' l wounds or with disease, and
1 expended their own domestic i
! alleviating the axacting wants of tile sic-k j
j bed. '1 lie-e scenes of misery were suffi
ciently trying to a kind hearted woman,
j but uiore awaited her.
Oil the arrival at Charleston of the pris
' oners from the captured steamer Isaac
j Smith, the lady prepared herself with a
large supply of provisions, and entered the
jail. The first sight that met her eyes was
the body of a stalwart, athletic man, lying
upon the floor, perfectly naked and appar
ently dead. On stopping to examine him.
she found that he WBS not dead, but in a
stupor, produced by extreme suffering.—
She applied a large bowl of tea to his Tips,
when, to her astonishment, he seized it
and drained it almost at a draught. This
man had not had so much as a morsel of
food or a cup of water for three days. He
was terribly wounded upon the head, >nd
from the wide and putrid wound she wash
ed a double-handful of flies and maggots,
'i he second man she saw lying in a corner
of the prison, almost naked, with hisliuibs
twisted together as if he were then in the
agonies of.death. Observing that the la
dy was making towards this sad object,
the jailor said : ' You need not trouble
yourself about that tnan. The doctor says
he has not five minutes of life in him.'
So the atly passed onto the other suffer
ers who might be benefited by her care.—
She found that they were all in mortal need
of her services, but noneasshe afterwards
discovered, to her horror, was in such need
as the miserable man whom she had just
passed by, thinking his case hopeless.—
On visiting the prison the'next day, she
found him still lying in the position in
which she had left him, alive und smear
ed over with the filth which the poor crea
ture in the frenzy of famine, had gather
ed from the floor and attempted to devour.
This man, notwithstanding all the lady
could do for him, died at the end of an
other day.l know that this scene is re
volting to common sensibility, but it is not
given to incite sentimental pity nor plea*
ant tours. It is tho stern, hard, terrible
truth, which the men of the north should
know when they come to deal with the
niiscrtjants who inhabit the doomed cit}
wherein this tradgedy was enacted.
As long as the Union prisoners remain
ed in-Charleston the lady was assiduous in
her attentions to them ; but there came an
order removing them to Columbia. Then
the last tic of her affection for Charleston
was broken ; she prepared to rjut a home
| which she had occupied for twenty years,
nd if possible to make her way North.—
j Already she had received warnings from
her friends, an I notices to quit the town
! froiiit her enemies. She ami her children
I wore puiv ued wi.h 1iy.,,» and jeers as they
; pas oil al<>ng the sticcts. 'J hey were de
i ii"mice I as •• damned yankccs,' and on one
! occasion some ckivalrlc soli of the Soulh
I took up what in thcirexaggcrated language
i they term a "rock'" and hurled it after the
I helpless womun. Gathering together her
| movable household goods and her scanty
i fund, now much reduced, with her family
! of four young children, she, at great ex
j i ense, made her way to Richmond, and
•as permitted to cross within lines.

it* remarkable cheapness vu a controlling recommenda
tion ; but others have taken their place, and It has now
more than Two Hundred Thousand subscribers and regu
lar purchasers—an excess of at least fifty Thousand over
those of any rival. And thia unprecedented currency It j
has achieved by very liberal expeuditum in procuring
early and authentic intelligence, by the fearless sxpres- t
•ion of convictions, by the free employment of ability and i
industry wherever it might contribute to excellence to ]
anv depvtmtnt of wr enterprise, and by unshrinking
fidelity to tbe dictates of Justice, Humanity, and Free
dom. . . .
By very large oQtlays for early and authentic advices
by telegraph and otherwise from Its own correspondents i
with the various armies of the Union, special ef
forts to furnish snch Information respiting Market*,
new discoveries or improvement* In Agriculture, i
Ac,, as must specially interest formers.we have assidlously
laborod to make a Journai calculated lo mwt the wants
and subserve the interests of the Producing Classes.—
That end we have at least measurably attained; for no
other newspaper exists In America or Europe which is
habitually read by nearly so many farmers and their fam
ilies as is Tnx TRIBUNE io-day. We shall laborto Increase
both the number and the satisfaction of this by for the (
most numerous class of Its patrons.
During the existence of the Whig party, this paper
8U that party, though always sympathizing with
the more libera, Anti-Slavery wing" there
of. When new Issues dissolved or transf•rmedoldorgnnl
*ation« through iLs spontaneous uprising of the people
of the Free States against the repudiation of the Ml-sourl
Restriction, The Tribune heartily participated In that
movement, and was known as Republican. When the
long smoldering conspiracy to divide and destroy our
country or reduce it entire to complete abasement to the
Slave Power culminated in overt treas n and rebellion,
it naturally, necessarily regarded resistant# to this con
spiracy as paramount to all other considerations, and de
voted 'all its energies and efforts tithe maintenance of our
Union. In etery great controversy which has divided
our country, it has been found on that side which natu
rally commands the sympathy and support of the large
majority of school-houses and the decided minority of
grog-sho* s. and so doabtlo-s will be to to the last.
Ardently desiring and strivln * for the early and endu
ring adjustment of our National distractions, The Tribune
leaves the time, the nature and the conditions of that ad
justment implicitly to those lawfully In authority, con
fiding In their wisdom and patriotism, anxious to aid
them to the utmost in their arduous responsibilities and
not to embarrass them even by possibility. Firmly be
lieving in the Apost« He rule—' First pure then peacea
ble—holding that the total and final extirpation of Sla
very is the true and only absolute cure for our National
ills— that any expedient that stops short of this can
have but a transient and Illusory success—we yet pro
pound no th-ory of "reconstructlon" and Indorse none
that has been" propoundad bv another—wither Sum
ner s, nor Whiting's, nor any of the various Copperhead
devices for achieving "Peace" by surrounding the Re
public into the power of its traitorous foe*—but, exhor
ting, the American People *.o have foith in their Govern
ment, to re-enforce their armies and replenish their treas
ury. we believe that. If they but do their duty, a benign
Providence will In due time bring this fearfal struggle to
such a close as will best subserve the true greatness of
our country and the permanent well-being of mankind
WC respectfulv solicit the subscriptions and active
exertions of our friends, and of all whose views and con
victions aubstnntially with ours.
