After a conflict, the most tlesrerala re corded io history, efter a civil war which has desolated a large portion of our coun try and unsettled the trade and finances of the wholo, it behrovei ui to look around to aurvey the damages we have tustained. and to apply, to thei- dvantorre. the re cuperative powor ot'ihe people to tho res- toration or their wonted prosperity and grandeur. Tho time for recrimination has nassed. The timo for aggressive action is no more. The work of war is done, and while we survey Willi sorrow the desolation of four years, we glory in the return of poaco, of Union and prosperity. VVe must forgst the past, remembering only the lesssons of wisdom it has taught. Theuure is before us prolenliuus future full of glory, pros perity and blessings, or of contentions, bickeringi, disappointments and misery. It is for us to decide which of tho two con dition shall be ours. The primal idea of our present condition is nationality. Wo are one peopla and must remain sueli in luture. We can really know of nothing but a homogeneous people. The old idea of section must die, it cannot consistently with our happiness be counled evtn in the elements uf party action. We cannot expect tho peoplo of the South, so soon after the lato war, to rush into the opposite extreme of ideas and action. To do so, would satisfy the country and tho world of their insincerity. Still the coun try and the world have a right to demand as the fruit of a vic'ory won by such sacrifices, that they should accept the facts as they exist, that the South should prepare itjclf to act in harmony with tho civilizatiou of the age. Slavery is dead. Let them give up the carcass. The negroes are amongst them, and cannot at present be removed, let them strive to make them useful to them selves and the comtry. They must learn this lesson, that the laborers to be a benefit must be contented. At present the negro is unskilled his labor is of the least value. Lot us elevate him, his work then bocoines of more value, and the prosperity of the country is enhanced. Instead of bothering ourselves at our polities and possible future ballances of power; let each do his duty .to himself and to those around him. The powers that ore above us, both human and Divine, will, we doubt not, do that which is best in the emergency. Let us try to excel each other in justice and kindness. Let us keep in mind the fact that we are still one people, and while with jealous care we guard that temple of our libertks, endeavor to remove tho bitterness of the past and to build for the future a temple cf peace and unity, secure alike from treason within and ad versaries without. A Eemarkable Coiifeasioa of Crime. In tho month of May last, a man named Daniel Andrea, who lived at Gk-ncoe Sta tion on the Pacifio Railroad, St. Louis county, was arrested, charged wilh extor tion, and an examination eulercd upon bofore Squire John Jecko, in St. Louis. The fads elicited show that Andrea had one Nicholson arrested on a oharge of larceny, but consented to his release on condition that Nicholson would pay over to Andrea all the money he then had, and sign deeds to all the property he owned at Glencoe. This was consented to. Nich olson was released; but, some weeks after wards, had Andrea arrested, as stated, and his examination was still pending when, about ten days ogo, Andrea committed suicido I He left behiud him a confession, which reveals a curious case of crime on the part of a man enjoying the entire confidence of the community in which he lived. The confession has created much surpriso among those who have known him for years as the Postmaster of Glencoe. The unfortunate man state;, among other things, that ha murdered a returned Cali fornion, eight cr ten year ago, for the purpose of securing his money, whioh amounted to about ton thousand dollars; thut he hod tho murdered man buried at his own expense, many of the neighbors attend ing tho luncral, and giving him credit for charity to tho dead. Ha also informs his friends that sineo his appointment as Post master he had robbed tho minis in search of money in many instances, and that he never lost an opportuniiy to appropriate letters intrusted to him, wilh the information that their contents were valuable. The most shocking statement in the confession is that he hod been the means nf killing two of his own children, and that he hnd meditated the murder of his wife, procuring e gun and loading it for that purpose only a few days before the du'o of the confession. :i:()do!p!i CAiZi 1.

We learn that there is considerable excitement in Carroll county, growing out of quarrels be tween the returned rebel and federal soldiers. A few days since several federal soldiers commenced disarming certain par ties, and succeeded without much difficulty until they visited tho house of a man by the name of Pate, end en demanding his arms tney were llatly relused. A pistol ficrht immediately ensued, and Pato was slight! woutiucu end one or tne assailants killed. Pale made his escape and has not since been herrd from. The night ofter the kill ing occurred, Pate's house and contents were burned, and other houses in the same neighborhood shared the samo fate. Cen tral Cily & Bruuswicker. H. R. Bridge at St. Charles.

Westward. Singular Phesomeos. On Monday last, quite an excitement was created about a mile and a half cast of this place, in con sequence of the effects of what was sup posed to bo a slight earthquake. This wonderful freak of nature took place on the farm of John Jones, oa Salt River, and is as follows : A strip of ground . which would probably measure an acre or more, nboul thirty feet wide, and extending straight out from the river into the field some twd hundred yards, gave way ond sunk to tho depth of twenty-five or thirty feet. Tha earth around the edges of the excavation remained perfectly solid, which makes it still more wonderful. What caused this wo are unable to explain. Ralls Record. J. M. Mason, representative of tha Southern Confederacy in England, says in a recent letter: "Late intellirrcnco from the United Stnt of the recent capture of American ships in uie i-aciuo, ny tno coniederalcs States ship Shennnduah, in that sea, leads me to address you this note.

It is to bo presumed, therefore, that her hostile cruise has long since ended. A horse thief, named Cliycr Gregg was caught at Buffalo, Roy county, on the 23d u!'., and was lodged in jail at Richmond. A marc ar.d colt were found wilh him, which he had stolen near Richmond.

Conquering Difficulties. A few years ago there was n newspaper published at Niagara Fulls, the editor of which was a blind man, tho compositors were deaf and dumb, the press work was performed by the bliud, the papers wore folded by the blind, and wrapped by the mutes. There ia now living in Vermont a family consisting of a fither, eighty-six years of ogc, with two sons end two daughters; all the children being deaf, dumb and blind. Yet they manr.go to enrry on their farm, and gaiu from it a respectable living. WcBt;ra rrac'hc. A Western pettifogger onoe broke forth iu tho follow icg indignant strain : "Sir, we're enough for ye, the hull of ye. Me and my client ccn't never be in timidated nor tyranized over: mark that. And sir, just so suro as this court decides against s, we'll tile a writ of propngauder, sir, and" "May I inquiro what tho gentleman means by a writ of propnganderr" inter rupted til a opposite counsel.

A Now York correspondent of the Providence Journal, in giving a sketch of three week's summer touring, says : "I travelled some eleven hundred miles, extending through the States of Connecti cut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, and during that entire route I did not see or hear of one drunken, intemperate, or disordily per son. Nor did I hear, throughout the entiro route, n prolane word, or 0 word that borJered un obsconity. 1 do not doubt that there ore to bj found there drunken and disorderly persons; but it so happened that I did not come across them; and lUi rcunrk that I now moke w;is frequently made by the goodly compmy with which we by chance associated.
