Daily would they assume the garb of mourning for a father, a brother or a lover daily did the shaft of death enter the household and make manly hearts quail before the horrors of war but never for one moment did the women of the South, from the highest to the lowest, fail to support the arms of the soldier, and hold them up until the sinking of the sun. God bless them for what they did in the hour of darkness and sorrow! God bless them for what they are doing now! From one end of the South to the other, the women have joined in noble petitions for the pardon of Mr. *Davis and nightly, beside ten thousand"beds, in the silent chambers, kneel ten thousand sainted forms, to offw^prayers for the salvation of those wc loved.
Such exalted devotion such immortal endurance such saintly charity needs no defense from a Southern pen. History will portray their virtues in colors more splendid than those which hand down, through the mist of years, the majestic pride of a Cornelia, and the patriotic fervor of a Joan D'Arc.
Such women are worthy of the respect of the world, and will receive a sneer only from cowards and brutes!
DEMOCRATIC AT ALL TIMES AND UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES
CRAWFORDSVILLE, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, INDIANA, DECEMBER
fFrom the Montgomery (Ala.) Mail.]' The Women of the South. **4$ We had almost determine^ to pftBs'unnoticed |jjie frequent insulting xdlusiouH to the women of the South which the Northern papers are disposed to dontain. The men who brought on the late unhappy war by lashing the people of the South to frenzy, are now endeayoring to make perpetual the feud whicbiptung up. between the two sections, and was quieted with only blood and desolation The conservative men of the South, how ever much they despi&d many of the pre vailing traits of Northern char^jjtcr, and loathed the despisable hypocri^Jfj Northftn radicjris, have been .earnest .. their efforts to restore Jiarmoiiy of senti ment throughout the country, and dispel the error that the Governhi3nt is the Northern people. It has been the effort of this class of politicians to impress uppn the South that -the whole country 14^ the Government, and the people ot the4^)uth are as much interested in endeavoring to mold the policy of that Government- as the people of New England or. any oither section. With this view, wc have coiin seled a cordial support of the administra tion and had hoped that leading men, joined around the presidential chair, from all sections, would lay aside the memor ies of the past, and strike hands in fee half of constitutional States rights in the Union.
These efforts to render less bitter the cup of Southern sorrow are met, as form erly, by a party at the North, who, cow ardly as Falstaff during the war, are brave as that hero when the battle is over. Cautious not to attack Southern men in the day of bullets, they do nr* hesitate to att^v e-~" ,r "ulUen
in t6e
«'r'"a "ays of peace. 'The women of the South are illiterate and unmannerly,' says the New York Tribune, at whose heels a few satellites follow to catch up and repeat the witicisms and bon mots of the philosopher.
The women of the South need no defender! Their angelic virtues, in the day of darkness and desperation, often held up the flagging hearts of the people. For four years they labored in behalf of the cause, the success of which was the dearest wish of their hearts. The trials through which they passed were severe and laborious, preparing food for the soldiers from the scanty supplies of their own table, dividing the last morsel of bread with the ragged, weary wanderer sewing night and day to prepare clothing for the army nursing the sick and wounded as they cheered the hospitals with their smiles.

The people of Minnesota have voted down negro suffrage by a majority of 2,500 Wisconsin do. by a majority of 8,000 Connecticut do. by a majority of 6,000 Colorado by a vote of ten to one.— The only State which has sustained negro suffrage is Iowa. Can it be possible that there will be men in Congress base enough to insist upon forcing upon the South a measure repudiated by nearly every Northern State? 'V
A GENTLEMAN who recently inserted a "want" in the Chicago Journal received six hundred and thirty-two answers.— Who says the people don't read the advertisements?

John Brown ill Jamaica.
The poets and philanthropists, falsely so called, of the Republican party are never weary of congratulating themselves a&d the country that, though "John Brown's body lies mouldering in the grave.
His soul is marehing on I" Precisely what JOHN BROWN'S soul "marching on" to accomplish, they are, however, a trifle unexplicit in telling ua, and for the credit of their own humanity, we trust, a trifle obfuscated also in perceiving. They carry to the account of this unquiet ghost of theirs all the war for the Union, fought by men the vast majority of whom would have gladly lent a hand to arrest, in the most summary fashion, the "march" of JOHN BROWN'S "body" while it was yet alive and obedient to the dictates of his "soul and all the victories won for a nationality which JonN BROWN himself was ready and eager to disgrace and to imperil.
While the land was all ablaze with bat tie, this deification of a fanatical public enemy might have been excused, for men's blood was up, their weapons were out, and one trumpet was, perhaps, as good as another for the work of keeping armies in line and spurring soldiers to the charge. But now. that the country is returning to that constitutional order which JOHN BROWN perished in striving to subvert, it is time for sane men to call things by their right names, and to abjure the devil's livery in serving the state.
JOHN BROWN'S "BOUI"is verily ing on" at this moment an«? ?an trace its course "Sht °f
burt3,ng
and the shadow of gallows-
rees, heavy with their horrible fruit, in Jamaica, it can do us no harm to consider whether we really desire to see that course' pursued through all the valleys and over all the hills of our own Southern States. The grand organ of the gospel of JOHN BROWN, the New-York Tribune, is our authority for assuming that the hideous massacres which have just occurred and are now occurring in Jamaica are the work of a Jamaican JOHN BROWN. The Tribune asserts that the outbreak of the negroes in that island against the white race was planned, fomented, and led by a white man. This does'* not tally with tho reports which come to us directly from Jamaica but we pass over that circumstance. We are willing to concede to a Caucasian brain the horrible merit of devising a project for the extermination of thousands of unoffending white men, women, and children, in order that an unadulterated African civilization might be planted upon the ruins of a colony once the garden of England's West Indian empire. The existence of the Tribune itself, and of the party for which it speaks, is the irrefragable proof that such things are possible and all that the Gordon of Jamaica is charged with carrying into fearful and practical effect, the Greeley of America is inviting and praying for, day after day, as a matter of theory. "Negro equality," as preached by the Tribune and the Independents of the United States, is simply the dream of which "negro empire," as aimed after by the insurgents of Jamaica, is the reality. In what that reality has resulted the whole world is now reading with shudders of horror and disgust.
Tho murder of white men, not slaveholders but abolitionists, not .tyrants or "lords of the lash," but sympathetic British clergymen 'and magistrates, full of hope the "future of the African," has been accomplished with circumstances of scarcely human ferocity. A whole population have been thrown into a fever of rage and terror by

paralleled in our own tim® aujwiiere out of the Chinese empire. The highways of Jamaica fester with the bodies of insurgents, slain, red-handed, by the infuriated militia of the island, or strung up scores at a time by drum-head court-martials in the tfees of thejforests. Tho devouring wave of EnglislTvictory in India rolling, back over the revolted Sepoys of Delhi and Cawnpore was not more merciless than the wrath of the whites of Jamaica who escaped from the horrible fate which the "soul of JOHN BROWN" had prepared for them. It is an obvious and easy thing to retort upon the British critics of our own course in dealing with rebellion with exclamations of horror at the ruthless inclemency of British justice in Jamaica. But these excesses, alike of the conspiracy and of its-chastisement, carry a deeper and far more useful meaning for us:
What the maddened colonists of Jamaica are doing our own American forefathers did when the extermination of the New England Indians became the condition of safety and progress for the New England whites. King PHILIP and hiB Pequots found as Bcant mercy and as short a shrift as GORDON and his Jamaica blacks. In our own times Minnesota and Kansas have repeated tho story and if the senseless fanatics who are straining every nerve to make a social war of races not only possible but probable at the South, shall puccoed in forcing their policy upon the country, our own times will

more appalling soalc between the Potomac and the Mississippi. It is very well to hold up one's hands in deprecation of such horrors after the events which develop them have worked their work. But whenever a lower civilization rises in force upon a higher, it is in the very nature of things that the outrages perpetrated by the men of the lower civilization shall be of such a kind and degree as to rouse in the men of the higher the most ungovernable instincts.. of vengeance. This truth has been disihally illustrated in a hjandred incidents of the history even of men of the same race, from the days of JACK CADE'S insurrection in England, down to the terrible battles of the barricades of Paris, in June, 1848. When the antipathies of race, also, are brought into play, the matter!, of course, is made infinitely worse. The philanthropy which takes "no account of these certainties, and of the natural laws which make them certainties, may fitly enough take JOHN BROWN for its hero and its saint but the triumphs which their faith is winning in Jamaica should suflfio.e for one generation, at least, of the Anglo-Saxon race in the New World N.

Hydrophobia.
The worst case of hydrophobia wc have ever been called on to notfee, wc find in tho Cincinnati Gazette. Geo. W.Julian, of this State. hn» rris 1. opeecti is one destitute of all reason, all sense, and is but the wild and incoherent ravings of a madman. Such sentiments as he uttered are fire-brands in the land, and a shame to every citizeu of the North. His call for blood, in the despicable sentence he uttered—"I would hang LIBERALLY while I had my hands in, is, to say the least, shamefully antiChristian, aud solely intended to lead fanatics like himself to mobocraey and murder! Why did not Mr. Julian and his tribe do their proposed hanging while 200,000 or 300,000 Confederate soldiers were in arms in the South with Gen. Lee at their head? Mr. Julian's friendsihad about 60,000 Southern men in prisoS^at one time—why did not he and his friends drag them out and hang them Sixty thousand dangling bodies would have been some food for these desperate men! It is perhaps not strange that Mr. Julian and his party should not have been so rampant for hanging tlicm as now. The Southern people have laid down their arms, have given themselves up unto the conquering party, in the name of the Union, to be done with as the Government may please. Having failed, they have acknowledged the error, and have tried to do much that has been undone, and undo much of evil that was done.
Now Mr. Julian wants to commence the hanging. When 200,000 or 300,000 enemies were in arms against Mr. Julian's friends they were for treating prisoners well—as soon as the army disbands and returns to the pursuits of peace, they become rampant for a bloody carnival.— This is a bad case of hydrophobia. Poor, crazy -patriots!" It is dog-days with them all the time.—Evansville Courier.
[From tho Chioago Tribune.]
Reform at the Hub of the Universe. From the newspaper reports it appears that much of the time of the Police Court in the city of Boston is taken up in the trial of complaints made by the "State Constabulary' against persons who do not seem to consider that to do business, "other than works of necessity or mercy on the Lord's day," is a crime and an abomination in the sight of the law which prevailcth in that city- It appears, from the police reports, that it is one of the duties of the State Constabulary to go about on Sundays and eat oysters, smoke cigars, or perchance indulge in the scandal of "doughnuts," for the purpose of "making a case'' against the sinful venders of these commodities. Whether tho uusiness comes under the head of "necessity" or "mercy" does not appear. It must be one or the other. The reports do not show that any of the "State Constabulary" have been punished for carrying on the spy business on tho Lord's day. The fact, however, was clear, for Constable Iiolden testified that '-lie purchased a cigar last Sabbath of defendant," and the Court, after making the profound observation that "no one would say that the selling of cigars on Sunday was a work of necessity," proceeded to sentence the defendant to pay a fine of ten dollars. The point whether any one would say that the buying of cigars on Sunday was a work of necessity, docs not appear to have been presented, and the Court, therefore, was not called upon to give its judicial opinion on that point. In another case, Constable McCarthy, (who from his name we judge must be a lineal descendant of Miles Standish,) testified that "he gets his meals at home, but on last Sunday he callcd at defendant's place and purchased a steakhe also saw "several boys there eating oyster-stews," and moreover saw "hiB brother constable,, Holdcn, purchase some doughnuts aud coffee." Now, to the mind of the Court, it was as plain as a pike-staff, or any other stake, that the eating of steaks and oyster-stews and doughnuts on the Lord's day was not only not a work of necessity, but was a dangerous transaction to be allowed to go unpunished i& the moral city of Boston accordingly the nj.au who broiled the '"i :rn

steak, and stewed the oysters, and friod the doughnuts was sentenced to' pay a fine of ten dollars, while the two' constables, in whose stomachs the steak and doughnuts wore of course sanctified, wcro not hauled over tho coals by this holy poker.
Another singular feature in this reform is that the outside barbarians of Dorchester, lloxbury, etc., are allowed to'defile themselves as much as they choose by selling oyster-stews on Sunday in Boston, for we read that Mr. Ivory G. Curtis was brought up before Judge Maine and the offense proved against him, but he was discharged "because he was a resldfe'n'f flF Dorchester or Roxbury." It seems therefore, to be a strictly private affair" ly I for reforming the character of tho Bos-' tonians—all other Yanfysesbeing allowed to damn lYiemsclves .without let or hindralrcc.
Some years ago a reform was attemptin Chicago, (not a Suuday reform',' however,) which was prosecuted on the same principles as the Boston rcgenera: tion, viz.: by sending a policeman around to stir up the sinful to commit acts inviolation of the law, the policeman then becoming a witness against them. The practice was so severely reprobated that it fell into disuse very soon after it wasbrought to the notice of the public/ 1

A Misccgcn Dancc. vltV ago, on a Saturday'night
the Ladies' State Fair at Merrill Hall' Detroit, Michigan, closed up with a dance,' in which negroes and whites mingled' promis6uously, as, indeed, they had in everything else throughout the entertainment. A negro barber claimed the baud of one of our city belles which was joyfully granted, and clasped in lais" vigorous arms she whirled him through the' giddy waltz. Wenches and white females 'rivaled each other in those tender attentions which seemed to be highly appreciated by their negro beaux. The soft echo of two pair of lips behind the Bame .: fan, the closc proximity of Bhort crisj/ wool and the graceful waterfall, in the shady corncr of the room could notes'-' cape attention. After the heat of daticing had produced that odor peculiar to tho African in too powerful a degree to be endured by the nasal organs of the' whites, the windows were closed and the party "hoed it down" until a Tate hour wirh renewed vigor. It is a curious fact that while tho white women mingled pr6-i miscuously with the shades, and seemed# rather to prefer dancing with negroes, no white man chose a weneh for his partneife Miscegenation in this style is wholly natter of taste. ........
Tit for Tat.
A merchant in this city had a hired girl which he was paying three dollars week to do housework about the housd while his wife spent her time mostly on the street. lie thought the girl a needless extravagance and, by design wa» by his wife caught one morning kissing the pretty servant in tho pantry. The girl was that day discharged by the wife, who couldn't stand such treatment, and she determined to have no more girls and the extravagance was stopped. The ruso was loo good to keep—the story got out' the wife heard of it aud day before' yesterday (Sunday) was caughfc ,by her husband kissing one of his clerKs and to make matters worse, last night hired a black girl to do her housework! The husband told us of the affair thiB morn--ing and says it's no use warring against woman.—^Brick Pomeroy.
Taxation of Government Bonds. In the State Senate, on Monday, Mr. Moore offered the following resolution: "Resolved, That the Committee on Finance be instrncted to inquire into and report to this Senate whether Governiifeut bonds are taxed or not by thef laws of this State, if in their opinion tliATr aw* to-ropoTt a bill taxing tho same as other property."
Upon this resolution an animated debate sprang up, during which Mr. Mason moved to amend the resolution so SB-
FIND Youit REPUBLIC FIRST.—The French Minister is said to be quite merry over the appointment of General Logan to the republic. "Find your republic, gentlemen," remarked he laughingly,, a few days ago. The same high functionary is also asserted to have said that if this country wanted a war with France, it could have it, "on demand."
OUTRAGEOUS.—The Louisville Democrat. of last Monday says: "Yesterday afternoon two great big, overgrown buck niggers, who disgraced the uniform they wore, went out the Preston street roadf doing pretty much as*they pleased—cursing everybody tlicy met. Just beyond the Lion Garden they met four white ladies walking leisurely along. One of the black scoundrels drew a bowie knife and threatened the ladies, while the other rescals made improper propositions to them, and no doubt they would have accomplished their hellish purpose had not the cries of the ladies brought some white men to their rescue—scaring the niggers away. When will the military authorities disarm the niggers?
