NOTES ON THE SITUATION—No. 1.
BT HtlN'.'B. H. HILL, OF GEORGIA.
“Never despair the ftepublic,”
was a much lauded Roman maxim.
But maxims never saved a country,
and this one did not saVeRdhie. She
was very gWetft. The combined world
wits'too Vchk to harm her. But she fell
—FldLL BT HER OWN HANDS—and for
centuries has remained fallen!
If good liberty-loving Americans
almost despair of their counti'v, the
events'Of’llie'last thirteen years would
seem to be sufficient to save them from
reproach. 'From the repefil *C f the
Missouri Compromise till now, no pe
riod in human annals of thrice the du
ration exhibits such deception among
leaders, sucli treachery by ridel's, and
such energetic self-destruction by the
nation.
The United States have done more
in these years to weaken confidence in
free institutions, and have inflicted
more injury upon their own people,
and created ^ShVier burdens for'their
children and children’s children, than
the united armies and navies of the
earth could have accoinplished in fifty
years. Before these notes c!6b!c. I may
undeitkke to show the real causes of
the evils. It is suficient now to say
that from 18o4 a spirit which is enmity
to the fife of the Constitution has been
dominant. The 'Government has been
in the hands of enemies. We read o! a
great man, who, while an infh'h't, was
nursed by a V61f. This may have been
and may again be WO'stible; but it
never hns been and nov^r will be pos
sii/it. ivi nit ii vi VAiicwc iuiii|>rie* mm
opioions tt> Wtfftc a constitution whose
only life is mufiihl Vottccssion for the
roninion good.
The Southern ’people, greatly pro
voked alia misguided, ahnndoned the
Union to preserve the Conitilmion.
While the Northern people. less pro
voked hut equally misguided, tonifi
war to .preserve the Union, by placing
themselves under the lead of men who
were the bitter, implacable enemies of
the Constitution, and who were fore
determined to destroy iy reforrii it.
After four years of heroic struggle
Hie StrtfHMrti people laid down their
anus because they were assured by
enemfc>, and tafigto by long
trusted but faithless counsel tors and
office-holders among themselves, that,
by so doing, they would be i:gain in
the Union us before. The many be
lieved tliis and withdrew their support
and deserted their colors. The few
who disbelieved were overpowered.
Hut more titan two years have passed
—more titan half the period of the ac
tual conflict—and the Southern people,
now thrice deluded, have not enjoyed
the blessings of the Union! Why?
It wattse these leaden of the North—
true to their original hatred, and per
fectly logical Wt ttit? Wvc'd-Hlcclarc

their treachery, and, to give (to1 last
development of their most rceaaVkablc
hisfocy, we sec some of our Southern
virWnVcWrs who urged us info's occasion
at> tt(c 'tfti I v peaceful method of secur
ing our rights, who afterward led us
to subjugation ns the only tWtfthod of
escaping military despotfttn, now
'boasting of tlic great confidence here
tolorc reposed In their irmnsel. advis
ing ns to accept the Wroposed terms
for a new 1'nion !
With such expCVience fresh ami still
increasing, hot shall we wonder if
true men doubt, if hravc men fear, and
if good met) ‘despair?
For thirteen years the actual revolu
tion has b**en right otiYvard. ttYs is
stupidly Mutl tfrtt does tiot see tVriit
the evils before YYs arc far greater IhAVi
the eVils present and behind iis. Otor
people have dlAttk bWtV'r cups, but they
arc us honey when cViWlpsred with the
cups they must drink If. the child is
not taken from the wolf, if the Consti
tution is not taken from the nursing
care of those w lio halo it, if the Gov
ernment shall coutiuAc to lie adminis
tered by Ids enemies.
If anything I rttay say shall tend,
however slightly, tt» avert the evils
which threatcVl the country, I shall not
ouly be satisfied but happy. 1 have no
party to serve and no personal ends to
accomplish.
I frankly admit my opinions hereto
fore have not beeu accepted by a ma
jority of the people. 1 have never
tbought that Yvlial the tllajuHF belie V
ed was, therefore, true; or that what
tlie majority did was, therefore, right.
My political life lias been blit a strug
gle against jd-eVAiling opinions Hud
policies. Whefa policies have been
adopted and died lit spite of tijS' op
position, I have labored to wotk good
results in spite of my convictions that
ihe policies were uuwise. And when
I sec the ruin vbhleh has been wrought
1 can but rejoi'etj fit the recbllee.liotls
that l was ildt (Mr lif the eholbit archi
tects. I do believe the peoph’ liaVe
mourned and -.till mouru only because
j wicked men have ruled and »till rule:
Midi belie'vc Hvlcketl 'filch ‘have been
'chosen to rule only because they have
made political issues to foment popu
lar passions, aud have suited their
conduct and opinions to the popular
passions SO fomented.
These 'fibtes are therefore given to
the pdbllB,‘claiming no title to consid
eratidh, except that they arc written,
not to please that public, bttt to aid in
arresting the further ptbgress of a rev
olution tv hldli'hits 'bdidh so prolific of
ruin in the 'past, and which is so fear
fully tfire}fhaht'6f ftifh fbr the fttture.
It 'fha'y he that 'ifO limn—no human
prfWcr—can arrest this revolution. It
may be that a change of government,
through an ordeal of anarchy, is inevi
table; hut this mtnAi eVdry man can
do—he can see to it that, if this de
struction must come, it shall not owe
its coming to his consent. 'If the Con
stitution must be violated, it shall not
be by him. If the Government must
he subverted, it shall be the work of
others. This, therefWe, patriotic read
er, is all the promise I exact—in ad
vance; that, whatever others may do,
you will support the Constitution, and
oppose whatever is contrary thereto:
for, mark this, whdfeVcr else people
and rulers %ay 'frb, 'dliey cannot sup
porter preserve the Government 1>>
violating its fundamental law.
. No. i
While these, dr'sMh'iIar notes may ul
timately take a wider range, the imme
diate purpose is to examine the pend
ing feature'6f the revolution—the Mil
itary Bills, embracing what is called
the Congressional plan of reconstruc
tion. I have given the measures full,
fair and mature Wfii«lderatioH. I en
tertain not the stH^Wfest doubt that the
conclusions I baVu reached are correct,
and, if thOiic proposed measures shall
become laws, the future developments
will most abundantly prove this cor
rectness. Before proceeding with the
analysis of tltc cliamrter Xif the hills,
Their effects, and The tpologics offered
for them, l desit*6 to annottnee the
conclusions which The reasoning will
establish mid tlie'cWrits will confirm,
a\ the certain results of tlicir accept
ance and of tliu ^corporation of tlie
plan and principles proposed into the
Federal Constitution and Stale Consti
tutions of the tcu States :
1. They will edtoStinmale the sub
version of The YcpKiMIc, tltc destruction
of the Cons'tit'htfffh, the annihilation
of individual liberty, and the ultimate
but complete change of all American
government lVoin the principle ofcojp
stmt to The Vule of force. And these
res'nlts W¥M become permanent and ab
solute avM Irremediable.
2. Before This final consummnjioii is
reached, flits country Will pass through
an ordeal of anarchy. This ordeal will
he prolonged, and the most bitter of
any in history—because anarchy in a
republic is like fever with an individu
al, most violent with the most vigor
ous, will not cease uutil strength is
reduced or destroyed, and no people
ever had such strength and ntatcilc!
prosperity for the prey of anarchy as
have the people of the Culled States.
Besides, in lite transition, t u o races
will struggle for the mastery, greatly
increasing the horror of these writh
ings of liberty in iier passage to death.
It. I need not, and I can not—it is
beyond the power "of the pen—to enu
merate the terrible evils that will
spread over ail the laud during thir
reign of disorder, discord and decay.
Among them Will be the prostration of
commerce, the paralysis of all indus
trial agefiViea and pursuits, the rcptaH
ill lull u» nu avuiu-nnui/uni, I'lmr, unu
individual t tire disregard of all legal
sanction?;; tTl'e VcWuval of all restraints
upon the wicked ; the withdrawal Of
protection from the helpless and the
good; the demoralization of meu ; the
prostitution of women: the starvation
of children; the rise and fall of fac
tious; the burning aWd sacking of cit
ies, and the general devastation of the
country. Robbers will till our moun
tains and forestst assassins will come
boldly tVetVi ill biding places; civil
wars and insurrections will multiply;
leaders aud followers will slay aud be
slain; clans of burglars and thieves
will hunt the rich as herds of buffalo
hwut^lic gt-PVO pastures, and insatlated
Wickedness Will rt'Od aud tear all that
is pure and gO'Od, as the hungry lion
when lleshing his tViVth i« the young
ind tender fawir.
4. Uut (hero is 'OtW iVAtVi'rc of this
PtlPeal of anarchy—Me rcault of this
devilish choice to destVdy the f.\>nsli
tution by those W1P6 take soiolklti Oaths
and make saihlly pretentious tV> pre
serve it, which is distinct front al! oth
ers, involving hypocrisy without ex
ample, delusion Without limit, and
oWtlty without parallel, and which 1
eanlVot eouteniplutc without feelings of
peculiar sadness. 1 mean, of course,
the effect upon the African race.
A separate ttble must elaborate this
point; hut as I am announcilig-gbttbkWI
conclusions, I must uot omit the result
which will be, thttst be, thfc most cer
tain and inevitable of all. A war ot
hlt-es will come, alid cortie early, in
this hideous program Pie of rnln. This
war Will be prPdtieed by three rhief
catiae*1 1. Tpb ignorant vlMbtlS, iih
jijtilUHvc and exeecdiiig credulPPs
lidniU ao<t passions Hf the negro 2.
tilb tlplliSiPPs practiced lipi'h tid’ i!P
igtllillivc ahd iTrdHldlis Pat lie hV citiis
-arie- from the North, aided '■* bad
lilt'd ffom the South, some of whom
will act from mistaken notiohs'bf'jihi
Innthropy, some with wicked purposes
of selfishness, but the most dangerous,
with view* of party ascendency. 3.
The protection to the Wlrfte race and
to everv interest ’bf person and prop
erty, and life.'Vldch 'this nature, thus
deluded, shall render absolutely neces
sary. The result of tills war will be
the Substantial extermination of the
uegfo race in the United States; or its
exclusion therefrom and final barbar
ism ; or its practical re-enslavement
under the government of force which
I have indicated.
The giddy and foolish will say this
picture of results is overdraw^. Such
crenfhres never believe hoi*rdfs will
cb’ilic till they are felt and rft*e past
remedy. Some thoughtless xfbbh peo
ple will say Odd hill interfere and
spare 11s such eVils, as though God ever
interposed to save a people who per
sisted in destroying themselves.
The ambitious politician who has de
termined to support these measures,
because they are proposed by the
stfolifc 'party, will clbS*’ bis cars and
pass on. tXe cares liot for the suffer
ings of the people or the subversion of
the government, so lie may reap and
rule, lie was a traitor to the Union,
a traitor to the Confederacy, and would
sell the honor of the people who trtfs't
ed him—all for greed and for plaice—
first, from ids own pchpfc, and then
from his people's oppressors. Ilow
can snrh a man be moved by the voice
of honor or he made to listen to the
appeals of patriotism? Ilow can lie
who is a traitor to truth he convinced
by argument ? Ilow can he, whose
ambition seeks only his own good, be
turned from his purpose by the exhibi
tion of wrongs to 'others? The fiery
flames of sulphurous hell could not
burn the lusts of power and pelf from
inc mind* oi .'Munitions I,m iter amt tils
fallen followers. ilow, then, can
truth, though "finked stripped—Or sar
casm though born in gall—or WA'Oing
appeals, though they eonie <W>fn mil
lions wronged—be expectt'fl to open
tlie mind or i*eaeh the conscience or
shake the pintyose of tlie hardened
wrotch—ibis political Lucifer—who is
willing to malfe-a Pandemonium of his
country, beeaufc
"To reign is worth Habiticn. though in hell!"
But the wise, Tffc good, the patriotic
and tlie truly bratjc will tukc warning.
These alone nan save the country. The
thoughtless, thV selfish, the fanatical
and ambitious njseft«’*<S1T,6ycrs.*. This
mild attempt by .miftary measures to
force an uniiirsietlng people into »clf
djgredalion f&v no purpose but party
aggrandizement, WAtrt produce fearful
calamities p inch no pejt can describe.
Actual events will shame my language
for very « eukucs* itt this fcebleattempt
to forecast Uie future. Ifni iVoVn all
TheVe ItotVAVs ‘th’e'r'c Is a waV '6f escape,
i'liere is but one way. Trust "to no
party, listen no longer to mc"h who
have deceived you: who ituve been
false to every promise : faithless to ev
ery principle and treacherous to every
government, liclurn, oh, my deluded
uuii prostrate countrymen, return to
the Constitution ! It alone is safe. It
is safe for all colors end safe from all
dangers. Every blessing comes from
its observance, every woe from its vio

whatever is according to its pro visions,
and reject everything that is contrary

Forthe Girls—How to get a Husband.
From an excellent communication pub
lished in the Columbus (Mississippi) Index
of June 8th, wc coppy the following “ex

reason for nut takltig > 'husband. Now
young ludics, the whole secret with nine
tenths of you, of not being able to get
off your parents' hands, is simply this :
Yoh can't work. You don’t know to keep
house. You can’t make a pair of breeches
! You can’t tell for the life of you the dif
ference between bran and shorts or which
cow gives the buttermilk. The young
‘ men generally came out of the war with
the ^klti Ot flieir teeth,' with no fortune, I

I might say, but their wardrobes of gray and
I their canteens, and to marry with them
now, rest assured, relates more to making
I a living with the assistance of a loving in
dustrious help mate than indulging in
opera music, moonshine and poetry. Do
you know what they say of one of your but
terfly young ladies who has held them in
the parlor engaged by the hour listening
to the “ elegant nothings ?” Nineteen
times out of twenty is this—Well she is
all right for an evening entertain
ment, but she will not make a good wife ?
There is no possible objection to the ac

My friend Major C., had an old dar

i One evening, at a party, Peter, from
imbibing too freely of various mixtures
began dancing a round with a waiter
containing some ice and cakes, and
' soon became uproarious. Observing
iltis conduct, the Major publicly repri
manded him, and at once dismissed
him from the post of waiter for the
evening, and appointed another in his
place. This last stroke was too much
for old Peter, and lie retired to his bed

Dress Well
tl is tlic duty of all men, young and
old, to make their person*, as far as
practicable agreeable to those with
whom they arc thrown in contart. By
this, we mean that they should not of
fend by singfblai‘l»y'<ft Slovenes?. Let
no tn.Ktvl.-How by your appearance what
trade Vdti follow. You dress your,
person, not your business. Be careful
to mould file fttshldhoFfhe tjmes to
your own personal peculiarities, j
Fashion is to be your servant, not your
master. Therefore never hress in the
extreme of fashion. Only adopt it as
far as consistent with your face and
figure. That which will become one
man ill becomes another; and for all
to follow the same model is obviously
absurd. The exercise of a little judg
ment on your part will enable you to ,
adopt as much of the prevailing style
in your dress to show that you are ac
quainted with the fashion, without
sacrificing your personal appearance
for the scrupulous conformity to its
laws. The best possible impression
you can make by your dress is to make
no separate impression at all but to
harmonize its material and shape with
your own figure, that it becomes part
of you; and people, with recollecting
how you were clothed, remember that
you looked \VclI, and were dressed bc
cdftimgly.
An objection may be urged here that
attention to dress is dangerous. We
think not. Kxtruvagauce is dangerous
but extravagantly dressed people are
seldom dressed well. We constantly
meet multitudes of people dressed in
every imaginable style. Hcreis one in
the best broadcloth and the costliest of
jewelry, but who looks exceedingly
vulgar; here another, habited plainly,
ill ivnml tneti' iu irpnllnmanlv in liio on.
pefcVanc'r at half the cost. Showy and
flaring clothes argue medial poverty of
the wearer. The sec'i'et of being well
dressed, is but the exercise 6f judg
ment and good sense—it invariably
requires more eare than cash ; and in
stead of making a young man extrava
gant, it is a saving of a half the money
it would cost to clothe him in the vul
gar and pretending style which so
m:tny,now-a-davs.unfortunately adopt.
fair- The earth is the globe on which
we are supposed to be at present, and
1 is noted for being the birth-plaec of
the Father of his Country, and for
containing large quantities of petrole
um in its centre. The earth is said to
have been deluged some years ago.
and there is yet some speculation that
it is soon to be destroyed by fire. In
view of this fact, wo would suggest to
our readers the propriety of getting
their lives insured in some life insur
ance ci/Mfi^.y, of which the cheapest is
I lie best. The earth is considered
part of the United States. Vfte earth
is round—its sphericity having been
discovered f>V “two newspaper report
ers, Who stiffen out in opposite direc- 1
tions to pick up items, and met at Cape
Horn. Any man can prove that the
earth is round, by starting oil' from
any given point, and going in a direct
liuc until he meets himself. The earth
turns upon its axis, making one revo
lution every twenty-four hours, except
in Mexico—there they have a revolu
tion two or three times a day. The
earth is not such a dismal place to live
upon as many try to make out. So far
as anybody lias yet beeu informed up
on the subject, it is far preferable to
any of her sister planets as a permanent
residence. Those who don't fliitib so.
