"Only One Killed."
Only one killed. That bin% Only one
vigorous life suddenly cut short, only one
happy household shrouded in gloom, only
one chain broken, only one wife made a wid
ow, one group of little ones made tittherless;
or perhaps one fond mothers heart robbed of
its idol, one tender sister made brotherless,.
one loving young heart stricken down in its
-first great agony. How many tittles within
the last few inontlis have faithful comrades
broken the turf and deposited underneath
the form of the "only one killed." The next
morning's paper perhaps told of' a "brilliant
affair; repulse of the enemy, and only one
r killed on our side," etc. and after an indiffer
ent glance at it, we passed on to the next
paingraph. And yet for some poor hearts
. the term -"only one kinder; contains an im
measurable amount of sorrow. In vain will
they watch for the coming of the lOved one
that went out from them in all the strength
and beauty of youth; in vain will they listen
for the sound of that voice whose last music
for. them, was the sad cadence--",good bye."
The anxious eyes that so often gazed down
the old road, will not be gladdened by the
sight of the dear form; and the harmony of
the home music will ever be broken, for that
voice will always. be wanting. !Neath the
- Palmetto is a little mound, and there, quiet
ly.sleeping is the "only"one killed." And,
alas ! how many such little mounds there aro
scattered ever the sunny South--mounds
that are marked by no headstones! No lot
.mg hands ever planted flowers on them, no
loving eyes ever water. them with their tears.
Hands hardened by grasping steel consign
them to the dust, and „none' but eyes unused
to weeping, gaze on those little lone niounds.
WeAo not r cathc the vast amount of sor
row this wards creating. - None but those
from whose hearthstones,lave been- taken
''the "only - one killed" can realize- it.

Nigger * Lovers and Abolitionists
Col Leonidas Metcalf, of•Kentmoky, late
-7 made a speech to the Union men of 'Car
' isle, Nicholas county, in that state, in which
e paid his respect to those negro loving se
essionists, who, when hard run for an ar
ment, cry, 'Abolitionists,' as if it was on
y necessary to fix the stigma of abolitionism
pots him to ruin him %revel.. This outspo
ei Kentuckian draws the portrait's these
ringing dotards with the pencil of a Lim
ner. We take an extract for the edification
if these puny-souled creatures :
I started to pay my reapeCts to the nifrger
overs of the South. There has been'ino . e
ection since I can remember but the cry of
igger was raised- (Instable, judge, cor
.rner 4:l. President, eon! not be nominated
"ithout the same old toe was ground.--
law aftet law was passed tighten the ten
ure by which we held them. State laws, fu
*hive territorial legislatures might:leg
slate a man to the devil if they chose, if he
ad no nigger, but laws were passed to pre
ent themselves from legislating on negroes
the territories, still the cry was more se
urity, more concessions, until they require
all to kneel to -Gesler's cap, or else they are
of the Simon Buckner pure. They swear
hat itis God's institution; and that in his
:üblime wisdom be instigated the trader to
he pious calling of catehint , and chaining
he wild African in the hold of some gloomy
:hip to transport him from his native hills
here his soul is in dahger, to the cotton
ells of America all for the glory of God
nd the increase of his kingdom; that their
inrsuits and pleasures, in Africa are loath
some to God ; but when they are transported
o the cotton fields and learn to raise six
ales to the hand, great is his reward, for
e now pleaseth the Lord and shall, have a
•eat in Heaven ;"Tv'ffle the traitors who have
•o long been protected in making black an
ds, quietly pocket the proceeds of the cot
n. To all this you must solemnly promise
nd swear or you are an abolitionist. And
Lome of these 'traitors are hel tin , " to o . ulate
anise s only half black. This
is no joke all this bas been preached from
the pulpieby the said sooty-winged 'nigger
satelites. They do not stop at insulting man
but blaspheme God with their obsequious
dallying and pandering WA set of corrupt,
fly-blown jackasses, who cannot see any oth
er nun or object on earth through which
pleasure or happiness can be secured but
nigger; no other road to heaven but on a
nigger's bark.. They roust have the Alisso_ue_,
ri eornpromise, or they will break up the
government: Then- the Missouri compro
mise must be repealed ; it ain't fair, or they
will knock all the underpinnings from Uncle
Samuel.
The cry of Abolitionists is the whip that
is 'continually held up to scare the ignorant
into the secessial ranks. If you look at
things with common sense, you are an- abo
litionist. If you are for your country, and fur
the majority ruling, you. are an Abolitionist.
It is time we put a stop to these insults.—
They cannot listen to -reason. The only
thing that you can beat common sense into
them with is a green sycamore club that will
not bounce, or a bullet. A few wholesale
truths may be bitter, but nevertheless true.
The accusation is very common that the
North favors amalgamation. . Now, to tell
the "truth, and shame Old Nick, it is practic
ed to a fearful extent throughout the South
and Kentucky. Go into any of our' towns,
and see the different shades and colors :
Jet black, bulr and brown,
Mongrel, puppy, whelp and hound.
But we will not speak loud on this.—
Somebody might be listening. You can
know every traitor in the land as plainly as
you can your hogs, by the earmarks. They
have a pass word, by which you can know
them as well in the night, as in the day time
—that word 'Abolitionist.' That is the sum
total of all their augumentso
1. Marry not a profane than because the
depravity of the heart will corrupt your chil
dren and embitter your existence.
2. Marry not a gambler, a tippler or taun
ter of taverns, because he who has ud,regard
for himself will never have any for his wire.
3. Marry not a man who makes promirei
which he never performs, because you can
never trust him.
4. Marry . not a wan whose actions do not
.correspond with his sentiments, because the
passions have dethroned reason, and he is
prepared to commit every crime to which au
evil nature, unrestrained can instigate him;
the .state of that man who regtirds not his
own ideas of right and wrong, is deploroble,
and the less you have to do with him the
better.
• 5. Marry not a man who is in the habit
of running after the girls in the country; be.
cause his affections are continually wander
ing, and therefore can never_ be permanent.
6. Marry not a man who neglects his bu
siness; if he does when single he will be
worse when married.

Rules far the Ladies.
Groaners.
One meets occasionlly with men and wo
men who seem to have come-into the world
to groan. NOthing. pleases, satisfies or con
soles them. No moral sunshine Chequers.
with cheeiful light the abysmal- gloom of
their souls. Take them into the fields on a
bright, sunny day, when the sweet breath of
the tender herbs makes the air a perfume;
take them to the brimming brooks, gushing
down the upland meadows, and dancing in
the eddies to their own jocund music; bid
them listen to the Agathered philosophers
hymning the golden'lly that is; and taking
nos__thought of the cloudy maw that may
be; descant to them with,a pleasant voice on
the beauty and harmony of the fair world
that God has given them to dwell in, and up
from the deep depths of their unsympathis
ing spirits comes such a response as you might
expect from a yawning grave. They sroan.
Where there is no fervor, there can be no
piety; where there is no admiration for, no
sympathy with the glorious works of Nature,
there can be no gratitude to Nature's God;
therefore, we cannot help thinking that
smiling Christians find more favor in the
eyes off, the Giver of all good things, than
groaning Christians. What should we say
of the guest at a generous feast, were he to
repay his entertainer with Sorrowful Imola
mations? Ano what are the human family
but the guests o.f a most bounteous host,
whose cheerful banquet, spread for us in
this vestibule of earth, is- but aitype of the
eternal feast of joy and gladness prepared
for the good anti, grateful in the home of
many mansions to which it leads? To wear a
tristful visage. to sigh, and mope, and moan,
while surrounded by the elements of happi
ness, is discourtesy to Heavin. To be light
of heart, is . a Christian's privilege. IC is
only your fanatics and your hypocrites who
groan.
Airs Honor Otlnaustry.
There is no discredit, but honor, in every
right walk of industry, whether it be tilling
e-grotand,--makets„vin.;-fabries - ,
or selling the products behind a counter.—
A youth may handle a yard stick, or meas
ure a piece of ribbon; and there will be no
discredit in .doing so, unless he alloWs his
mind to have no higher range than the stick
ana ribbon; to be as short as, the one, and as
narrow as the other.
, "Let not those blush who - have,” said Ful
ler, "but those who have not a lawful calling.'
And Bishop Hall, "sweet is the dbstiny of
-all-trades,—whether-of-the - brow whether-of-the - brow or - of the
mind." Men who have raised themselves
from an rumble calling need not be ashamed,
but rather ought to be proud of the/ditficult:
ies they have surmounted. The laborer on
his feet stands higher than the nobleman on
his knees.' An American President,. when
asked what was his coat of-arms, remembering
that he had been a hewer of wood in his
youth, replied—"A pair of skirt-sleeves."
Lord Tenterden was proud to point out to
his son the shOp iu which his father had
shaved fora penny. A French doctor once
taunted Flechier, Bishop of Nismes, who
had, been a tallOw-chamiler in his youth, with
the meanness of his origin, to which Flechier
replied—"lf you had been born in the same
condition that I was, you would still have
been but a maker of candels." Some small
spirits, ashamed of their origin, are always
striving to conceal it, and by the very efforts
they make to do so betray themselves.
A Thought for Young Men.,
More may be learned by devoting a few
moments daily to reading, than is' cominonly
supposed.. nye pages may be read in fifteen
minutes; at which rate one may peruse twenty
six volumes of two thousand pages each, in
a year. You say you have none to guide
pm.' The-best scholars and men of science
will
will tell you by far the most valuable part
of their education is that which they have
given themselves. Volumes have been filled
with the biography of self-taught men.
Think of Franklin, the printer; of Linne, the
shoemaker; of Hershel, the musician; of
Donald, the weaver; of Turner, the printer;
of Muria, the blacksmith. Love learning,
and you wil. be !earn.A. Where there is a
will thdri will be a way. Begin at once,
take Time by the forelock, and remember
that it is only the first step that costa, and
having begun, resolve to learn something
every day. Strike the blow, and avoid the
weakness of those who spend half of life in
thinking what they shall do next. Always
have a volume near you which you may catch
up at such odd minutes as are your own.
It is incredible, until trjal has been made,
how much real• knowledge mar benequired
in these broken fragments of time, which
are like the dust of gold and dimonds.
A SUCCESSEUL PLAN •OF COURTSIIIP.--•-
At a wedding recently celebrated, were pres
ent some twenty-five young persons, all
of then in a condition which, for various
reasons, they generally concurred in regard

of the gentleman of the party suspected the
prevalence among them 'of feelings that
might easily be exchanged for others more

posed the Lchoosing of a President, a person
worthy o f confidence, whose duty it

would be willing to marry. The, President
'An addition to the restraint of his own sense

Thie following poetic %Seldom° to' 'Sabbath morn

With silent awe Ihii! the sacred morn,
Which elowly_Wakcs:*hile all the fields are still
soothing calm on every breeze is borne;
A graver murmur gurgles from the rill,
And echo answers softer from the bill,
And softer sings the linnet from the thorn—
The skylark warbles in a tone less shrill.
Hail, light serene! hail, sacred Sgbbath morn!
The brooks float silent by the airygroves;
The sun a placid yellow lustre shows;
The gale 'hat lately eighed along the groves ' ,
Have husheltheir downy wings in sweet-repon';
The hovering rack of clouds forgets to move;
So smiled the day when the first mom arose.

Why should we count our life by years,
Since years are short and pass away I
Or why by fortune's smiles or tears'
Since tears are vain and smiles decay 1
Oh ! count by virtues—these will last
When life's footed race is o'er,
Anil these, when earthly joys are past,
Shall cheer us on a brighter shots.

God's justice is a bed where we

To falter would be sin.
Gen. Houston'S Prescription to a
"Bore."
Among the guests at the St.. Nicholas Ho
tel, in New York, had been Gen. Sam Heirs
ton, of Texas. - Ho'ulton is,. as all his
acquaintances well know, fond of mirth and
fun, and, in short, is what Ikoestieks would
call aP. —perfect brick. The Gen. how
ever, entertains an intense hatred for that
species of human beings called "bores."—
One of these gentry, a good-natured but soft
headed chap, a regular button-holder, corner
ed him one da at his hotel. He had man-
"General," said the bore, after lie bad
bothered Mr. Houston out of all patienCe,
wish you would do me one more favor. A
man of your eminence is so 9mpetent--"
"Well, what is it?" demanded Mr. Hous
ton, rather curtly.
"Well, you see Mr. Houston, you are such
an eminent man, such a—"
. Never mind that; what do
know?"
"Excuse me, but a person of your abilities
and datinction must be•aware—"
"I am somewhat in haste," interrupted
the badgered senator; "pray come to the
point at once." ,
"Well, then tell me the secret of your suc
cess in life—how you rose in position as you
have done.,"
"Ah I but that wouldn't benefit you any
I can tell you how you can raise in the world,
if you wish."
"That's just it," was the reply; "just what
I was _trying to get at."
"Well, sir, tell you. Undertake to ap
proach a sore-headed bull with'a red scarf a
round your neck. I'll guarantee your up
ward progress immediately on the comple
tion of the experiment."
The button-holder collapsed, shovl his
hat on his head and walked sorrowfully away
while a cluster of gentleman near by, who
had heard the conversation, fairly screamed
with laughter.
The Mustering of the North. •
It is almost worth while to'have had the
recent alarm in order .to behold the sublime
spectacle of anothel grand uprising of the
North. In Europe and in the South it has
been thought that we have about exhausted
our strength in putting into the field a half
a million of me n. Perhaps they have
thought that we were getting weary and
languid, and that our force was nearly gone.
If such a delusion has been cherished by any
holy it must have vanished yesterday morn
ing, as once more the hosts from Maine to
Maryland were mustering at the dawn to has
tetesto the protection of the Capital I As
the news flashed along the wires Sunday
night, men leaped from their beds and has
tened to the places)of rendezvous to march
at once to the Soith.
The excitement and enthusiasm here was
almost equal to what we 'witnessed a year
ago, and, if less, it was only because the
peril to our . cause was not considered so
threatening. But men hurried again from
their countino• °
rooms and work Shops: stu
dents dropped their books and fell into the
ranks; mothers, who had already sent, sons to
wur. heroically bade their other sons
God speed; brides partmilearfally but brave
ly. with their husbands, the sorriest and sad;
dest men wore those who could not go.—
What a force we had in reserve to come up.
when needed to the help of our noble army
in the 4eld ! What a manifestation of
strength *and resources in this that we are
now witnessing! Let no one, who sees.it,

He slionld meet the playful and boisterous
welcome of his children, with the cordiality
of his childhood itself, and greet his wife
