TUESDAY,JULY 25, 1866.
H ot W eather .—For the past
four or five days, the h«at has pre
vailed more intensely than at any
previous period of the summer.
The mercury has ranged among
the "nineties," and is indisposed to
lower its standard, and we don't
blame it getting as high out pf reach
of the "heated term" as possible.
94° in the shade, is what we have
seen it at several times, of late. Still,
we have to knock under to the West,
as indeed we usually have to do in
this "brag game" of heat. At Cin
cinnati on the 10th, the weather was
"delightfully clear and hot," the Com
mercial observing that the mercury
ranged at 98° on that day.
We learn that two colored soldiers,
while attending the funeral of a com
rade, some three days since, at this
place were sun-struck. This is a
circumstance of very rare occurrence
among the black race.
A F erry B oat W anted .—The
following from the Alexandria (La.)
Democrat of the 19th, jcoutains just
the number of lines, to convey pre
cisely our own sentiments in regard
to one of the "locnl wants" of Baton
Rouge :
Wanted —We «r» « dully in want of some enter
priding individu*! «ho dasirss to make mnony to
emigrate to this town, and «tart a steaui ferry.
Here jh a fine and tare chance to coin the spondu
lics and win a name in a community that once
could boast of all such luxuries.
Now that our municipal govern
ment has be6n re-organized, and the
parochial government of West Baton
Rouge has also resumed operations,
we can see no good reason why some
enterprising man should not step in,
and between the two authorities (city
and parish) make some such arrange
ment as that which existed before the
war, to run a regular steam ferry
bo«jt between our city and the oppo
site landing in West Baton Rouge.
Time was when such an enterprise
paid well, and we believe the time
has again arrived when a steam ferry
would prove a safe and profitable
investment. There is a great deal of
crossing by means of skiffs and flats,
but that is a very tedious manner of
getting along these days, and the
increasing necessities of the people
on both sides of the river, for a more
rapid and efficient means of trans
portation across our "inland sea,"
call loudly for a return to the old
steam ferry system.
To those of our friends who
are aspirants of the Legislature we
dedicate thvi following from the Nash.
ville Dispatch ;
W hat will B ecome or the B oy
A righteous ol.d lady living in this city
has a very bad boy, who keep» bad
company, and ca.miot be induced to
look into a book. She has tried
whipping, but it has signally failed.
A few days ago the old lady called
him aside, and commenced reasoning
with him in this wise : "My son, you
»re going to ruin by the short route
You stand no more chance for a good
•ocial position in life than a bob-tailed
horse in dy time, and it is my candid
belief that if you continue in your pres
ent course, you will be a member of
the Legislature before you are old
enough to get married to a respectable
girl."
aerThe Democratic Central Com
mittee of Brooklyn and the Republi
can Central Committee of New York
bave both endorsed President John
son's scheme of reconstruction. All
the political conventions which have
recently met have taken substantially
the same ground. The New York
World says that, from the manifesta
tions of public feeling on this subject,
it is convinced that the radicals, in
their demand for immediate negro suf
frage, do not represent one-tenth of
the voters of the North, although
doubtless a much larger number of
voters would be willing to grant that
right to educated black men who
bave a stake iu the community, at
some future time.
gSf" List of Letters on fourth page,
Patient and Resolute Labor.
While the dead past must bury
the dead, the live present must not
linger in the slough of despond, where
stagnating influences operate to para
lyze the energies and disease both
mind and body.
Looking "abroad over the land,
desolated by civil strife, we discover
many pressing necessities, which are
growing hourly in importance, and
reminding us of the obligations of
duty in respect of those necessities,
The stern arbitrament of war has
brought us to the threshold of a quasi
pioneerism, revealing formidable diffi
culties in the divergent paths through
the wilderness, and summoning us to
renewed resolutions, exertions and
sacrifices in clearing and preparing
the way toward a progressive future.
In a word we have to begin anew,
not only where we left off when War
first planted his iron heel upon the
soil, but where he has left ns with
the dial-hand of tiine pushed back
almost ( a the primitive ddys of our
forefathers. Bitterly as all must de
plore the agency which lias produced
this retrogression, the hour is past
for useless repinings, and we are ad
j monished to Bbake off this nightmare
j vision of other days and to cast
hopeful glances upon the silver light
which gleams along the lately dark
ened horizon.
Let us lay to heart the dread ex
periences r>f the past only so far as
they will teach us lessons of wisdom
to profit by in the future. The re
turn of peace and with it the restora
tion of public law and order, affords
of itself a powerful incentive to recu
peration. Next comes the stimulus
of private interests and necessity
which must seek and find the "balm
of frilead" in healthful industry, fru
gality and labor. These will con
duce to mutual blessings and advan
tages, until by degrees, overcoming
trials and disappointments, which
"Come like shadow*—so depart,"
we shall witness a general diffusion
of prosperity once more among the
people of the South.
Shunning alike those extremes in
our natures which lead to a morbid
brooding over the past or over
sanguine expectations as to the future,
we should adopt the steady medium
of a philosophic patience as the true
guide to lasting happiness and suc
cess. Nerved by this principle, which
"removes mountains," there can be
no good reason to apprehend a failure
in the efforts of the Southern people
to regain their former individual wel
fare as well as that State prestige in
the Union, which is again mudo
available to them.
The following beautiful reflections,
which we extract from an editorial
in a late number of the New Orleans
Bee, will be appreciated for the well
timed judicious views they embody
on the subject we have been treating :
The medicine and the consolation
of labor are the one paramount blesB
ing still left to the Southern people.
For losses and for vain regrets that
is for them the Lethean bath. What
ever Boil they may till with faithful
hands, and whatever seed they may
have hopefully sown, they will not
fail to taste the solace of the Lotus
flowers blooming amidst the harvest
Earnest, hopeful exertion of mind
and body in every avenue of human
effort, means for them recuperation
and progress in every department of
human prosperity and greatness.—
They have lost enormously, but they
are not bankrupt while labor remains
along with those blessed accessories
which so bountifully offers to it—
while the sunny hills endure, the
pleasant vaileyB stretch, the broad
rivers flow, the magnificent deltas
expand, and wealth springs from
earth at the magic touch of honest
and intelligent industry.
Time writes few wrinkles that last
on nature's brow. She soon heals
her shallow hurts. When war's
spasms is past its implements speedi
ly d^cay, but all nature's agencies
freshen ; the deadly breach is soon
mantled with green, the wren builds
her nest in the cSEPoe's throat, and
the lamb plucks grass from the mor
tar's dreadful mouth. While nature
refuses to wither, and power and pur
pose to labor abide, men cannot fall
into poverty and despair, for hope
and health, and a future teeming with
Opulence are, at their command.
South bas all the essential
elements with which to rebuild in
grand proportions her shattered for
tunes. Let it not be said that she is
ruined by the overthrow of slavery.
However she may hare prospered
with it, it would be cowardly and
shameful to accept the assertion that
she could not prosper without it, as
other communities have eminently
done iu the past and are doing at
this present time. Where there is a
will there iB a way, says a familiar
adage. Most certainly the way in
this ease is almost anywhere.
In the language of a Northern
journal, the testimony of an ancient
enemy of Southern society—
"In climate, soil, timber, minerals,
iuland navigation, water-power, and
nearly every element of material jvell
being, she is scarcely surpassed;
while the commercial world is hun
gry for immense quantities of her
staples, and ready to buy them at
extraordinary prices. Capital from
either hemisphere is eager to flow
into her lap—to buy her lands and
hire her labor at prices far above
those of the past, and to purchase all
the Cotton, Sugar, Rice, Tobacco,
&c., &e., she can produce for years
to come at not less than double the
cost of their production. In all the
known, there is uot another field for
the employment alike of Capital and
Labor so promising as is afforded
throughout the length and breadth of
our Union."
The work of recovery may be slow
at first; but labor the harder and
tedium will be forgotten. If enemies
continue to revile, answer them with
the argument of labor. If they
threaten, ceaae not to labor, for that
is the surest defence. • In short, with
honest, intelligent, determined labor
only may you of the South live down
defamanation and defy malignity.
In that is consolation, hope, health,
strength, honor, victory.
[Communicated.
thk revival.
Dear Comet What has become of yonr
religious editor '< or more properly speak
ing, "that excellent gentleman who some
time since bad charge of the theological
department of your paper ?" For his sake,
as well as that of thu community, I hope
he has not forsaken his good work and
gono after flesh and tne devil. The
progress of the Kevival going on shonld
be noticed from day to day, as well to
keep np the record of contemporary his
tory, as to aid the movement itself; for
like all mundane things, it neods the help
of the press to push it along. Many per
sona who are piously inclined, think there
is a falling off, a cooling down, s back
sliding from grace, because the late Sab
bath evening exercises at the horse-water
ing have been discontinued; but this is
not ao. The purification by water haa
only been temporarily suspended on ac
count of the condition of the Mississippi
river. The stream has fallen so rapidly of
late that it has loft its margin boggy, and
the purifying quality of wator is counter
acted by mud. A joint stock company is
talked of to pave this way to grace with
plank and a platform. I think it would
pay, with toll gates. Thanks to tho in
ventive genius of the age, there are other
ways open and the revival is going on;
the ball is in motion and growing hourly
more intenso, more sincere, more vigorous
in tho faith of life ta come. I am sorry
indeed to say, that as yet, it is almost en.
tiroly confined to "our colored fellow-citi
zens;" but it ought to and will spread
when the weather gets cooler. That I am
not endeavoring to mislead the public in
reference to this interesting subjeot, which
touches so nearly our latter end—let the
skeptic go round to Church or Fifth street
any night in the week, Sundays not ex
cepted, and witness tho movement. Tho
spirit is at labor with tho flesh, shocking
and shaking it into a sense of its inse
curity. Converts are suddenly seized and
shake all over, and some—after looking
about to soe what they shall do to be
saved—kick over the benches. There are
sinners in the vicinity of the churches as
also where, who com plain of the frequency
und length of the exercises, and soma go
as far as to declare them nuisances; but
this is what is expected of a wicked world.
After all, is there anything of more real
consequence than tha saving of souls t
Hardly. All souls should be saved to
commingle in endless felicity as
"White spirits and black,
Bin» spirits and gray."
A good feature and a new has lately
been introduced in the Fifth street estab
lishment. A colored Philadelphia phre
nologist has been there feeling heads and
furnishing charts at the moderat« price of
twenty-flve cents. There is an evident
advantage in this to the profana as well as
the religious world. Applicants for eter
nal life should know what they are good
for in this, that they may take that road
to endless felicity in which they are least
liable to stumDle. Some poet haa said'
"The way to heaven lies through this
earth." If this be true, is not the service
of the phrenologist eminently important
to discover to each the best place to go in,
and to famish a chart to enable all to steer
against shoals and quicksands I
May I ask again Dear Comet, what haa
become of your religious editor? Has he
gone to Texas or is be dead ? i have seen
no obituary. Y ery truly yours,
Ç. T.
T he L oungehs .—Perhaps it is
not generally known that a regularly
organized society, called the Loung
ers, exist in our city, organized for
the purpose of having the streets
more regularly walked and more
uniformly observed in (he number of
young gentlemen who may be de
tailed for the day to do duty on the
various fashionable street corners.
We have been permitted to see, at
an expense of lager for two, a copy
of the Rules and Regulations of the
Loungers' Club, and make a few ex
tracts from the constitution thereof :
A« t . 1. This is the Loungers' Olok.
A rt . H. The object thereof is to provide a suita
ble number of well-dressed young gentlemen to
stand io squad« of from t«o to fifteen ou all tlie
corners of Canal street.
A rt . III. It sbali be the duty of tbe parly io
charge of each of these corners to see thit every
wan has on the prescribed uniform, which shall
consist of peg top white pants, black sack coat, a
highly ornamental shirt front, an eye-glass, a
Glimson butterfly, and a straw bat built to look
as much like an inverted soup plate as possible ;
he will also take osie that each one is provided
with a package of cigarettes, so that at least half
of tho men may be kept under smoke ; It will also be
his special duty to see that the prettiest girls that
may pass ara duly admired and commented on.
No more than three shall be permitted to absent
themselves for the purpose of taking soda at Lo
pez's at the same time, upon which ocoaslon it
shall ba the duty of one of the party to always
take the nearest policeman with them not only to
drink soda, but to preserve order.
A rt . IV. The hours of work shall be from 11 a.
M. toT p . M. Every member obligates himself to
live ob the interest of what he owes.
Now here we see employment of
a pleasant nature provided at once
for any number of able-bodied young
gentlemen. A limited business quali
fication is all that may be required,
the main object of the club being to
do as much as possible for nothing,
it being out of the question to em
ploy anybody to do the little busi
ness that is now going on in the city,
hence the necessity of throwing all
the protection around the members
possible, for it is an admitted fact,
that without system you can do noth
ing and do it well too.
We understand it is the intention
of the club to keep a sharp lookout
for items for the benefit of the press,
in order that no good thing shall
escape the public maw. All tho
members of the press have been
unanimously elected honorary mem
ber» of the club, and are generally
looked up to as capable of deciding
all knotty points that may have re
ference as to what is the proper lunch
hour, or the length of time which
may legally elapse between one kind
of soda and another.— New Orleans
Picayune.
At the last diplomatic re
ception of the Tuiileries, the Emper
or having observed the new Turk
iah Ambassador, whom he had not
seen before, went up to him and ad
dressed him in a few polite words.
After the first ' compliment tlie Am
bassador bowed low, but did not
answer, and the Emperor continued
his flattering speeches without elicit
ing a word of reply or acËitiowledg
raunt. At last some one explained
the mystery by whispering to His
Majesty, that Safet'Pacha does not
speak French.— Foreign Paper.
