túlalo Arkansas in adding another, to her
efficient corps, to advocate tho reunion of
Southern slave States under the Flag of ¡ lie
Confederacy. Our earnest hope it that the
election in August, will make our Confrere
ef the Southron, and ourselves citizens of
the same Republic. We exhort our co-la-
borer to took to it; that Arkansas by her
vote adds another star to the bright galaxy
of the fl ig of the Confodorsoy.
Carl Schurz.— This notorious German
Abolitionist, at Washington City on the
night of the 14th of March was serenaded
by a German Black Republican Club, aud
replied to them in thesf rords as extracted,
from the Washington Star—"Although thoy
had achieved a great victory the battle was
not yet over,—there was a struggle yit to
come. There might be a timo when one
sect'on of the country would be making war
on the other, nnd the dire necessity might
arise for shedding fraternal blood."
FREE SPEECH.
We take the following extract from an
article ill the Philadelphia Inquirer, a
Black Republican paper, but of the most
liberal and decidedly among the most dec-
orous to be met with.
We would infor that the rabid BlackRe-
Jtublicnnism of its associates is becoming
intolerable, and liko some other evils re
quires abatement. We certainly did not
look for a rebuke in that quarter
A very fine thing is freo spccch—per-
haps the very dearest privilege that a ra
tional, honest, di «interested man can enjoy
—every way a fine thing; fine in the speech
that is tho eloqucnco of it—fine in the
freedom, that is tlie exhiliarntion, the ex-
citement of its essential audacity—fine in
what it does, fine in what it dares, fine in
what it expresses of the animation and the
action of tho age—fine to hear, fine to
quote, fino to copy, fine to make para-
graphs, biographies, books of—fine to pay-
But mark you, we said "rational, honest,
disinterested men," and in the name of
those we protest dauntlessly against its
utterance by any others; the noart that
dictates it should be pure and loyal, the
brain that shapes it, clear, cool and capa-
ble; the tongue that delivers it, tho tongue
of a good citizen, a wise as well as a
sto ncli man—the tonguoof prudence and
patriotism in the head of experience
Otherwise, frfle speech i* not a fine
thing, but an abomination and a nuisance
and a curse; and what is worse, a humbug
and a trick—* * * *
We have voted for free speech, har-
angued for free speech, preached and
prayed and fought for it, and now we've
got it; but we find ourselves in the condi
tion of the mild gentleman who won an
elephant at a raffle. What shall we do
with it? That gentleman hobbled his ele-
phant, lest it tear down his house; and il
we gag our free speech, with the same pre-
caution, who shall blame us? If we catch
an eccentric in our barn with a blazing
pine knot, we toss a bucket of water over
him and his fireworks, in the name of in-
surance. If we encounter another,fierce-
ly flourishing a bowie-knife in the gay
Sambols of delirium tremens, we knock
im down, and charge the damage to our
jugular veins.

« To~point out ahuoee, oftpgrapple with
errors, may give offense; itfrequentjy
does in the family 'circlo, but in everjr
properly iregninted association, whether
domestic, social or political, frank com
muning on the part of those interested,
ought to result fat a better understanding,
and consequently ta godd. ¡
Thus premising we refer to Mr.Berends
letter,'id which he says, "that social insti-
tution, the Casino, has never been, and ifc
not, an association for political purposes.
By its laws, all political and reli|
questions are simply excluded; and
should be well known that there never
been any political vote or action
members hold their political as ;
their religious opinions, as they please;
und I cannot see how it can be "fair" to
infer that the teachings of Lincolnism in
the N. Y. Democrat, emanates froi
association. The association has
assumed the control of the opinions of its.
members, and has allowed that freedom of
opinion which the constitution guaranteed
to all."
Though we have never met with tho
Charter, Consti||ition or Bye-Laws of this
Social Institution, yet we find our impres-
sions, derived from Rumor, are in this in-
stance precisely correct, as verified by
the unquestionable authority of Mr. Be-
rends.
We will endeavor to explain to Mr. Be-
rends how and why we deem it " fair " in
this particular instance to infer that the
teachings of Lincolnism in tho N. Y.
Democrat, emanates '' from this associa-
tion."
Public opinion, though not always un-
erring, is usually -correet; atad it has
stamped its impress upon the characte.r
of many of its individual members, <a
Atheists, Free Thinkers, and all promi-
nent men whom publio opinion her<> has
held to be Abolitionists. _
We give «ntire belief tqMr. B.'s state-
ment, •* that itJs not. an association for
political purposes,""-' jjoliti
ligious questions are siuiply eieli
that it should be well known that there
has never bceta any political vote or no-
tion."
To the literal truth of all this,^|rMr^'s
authority, we give our entirQrfal&. That
there lias been no "ttficial act" that could
ensure a forfeiture of the charter of the
Casino; but while the promise bos been
kept to the ear, we believe it has been
broken to the hope. Where else could this
letter from a German of San Antonio,
which we copied from the New York Dem-
ocrat, have emanated, if not from a mem-
ber of the Casino ? We did' not charge
that it was the official act of the chartered
association; but we charged that it was
a fair inference to have emanated from
some of the members of thut institution.
As well might Mr. B. appeal to His Honor
the Mayor, that the windows of the Cath-
elic Church could not have been smashed
by members of the Casino, because, for-
sooth, by its laws " all politioal and reli-
gious questions are simply excluded,"
We cannot adduce the legalproof ihet
the letter did emanate from $ member of
the Casino; but we oannot eradicate the
impression from our mind, and it woj
be futile to attempt it from that ol
public. The inference quadrated,
our every sense of " fairness," and we
believe it just as firmly as we believe that
members of the Casino took a 1g fi
a store on Commerce street, at the
hour of night, and placed it aifftvo
door of a brothel, although there mjght
be nothing in its charter, constltutlc-
by-laws, to authorize suob action#.

Taxation In South Carolina.
Perhaps no State, or community of peo-
plo havo been more slandered, vilified and
petóle of that gal-
lant add patriotic State,—and upon the
oppfóssive burden of its people under their
onerous taxation, in which they had no
voiee, has proved the convenient point
¿'■appui to hang many a diatribe.
We copy the following summary from
the Patriot and Mountaineer, published at
Greenville, S. C., to disabuse the minds of
those open to the truth, and are wiping to
bo undeceived.
THE TAX BILL.
The following is a summary of the vari-
ous items and proportions of taxation pro'
vided for by the bill to raise supplies for
the State during the year 1260-61. In two
or three cases only, in proportioning the
District tar, we have not been able to give
the exact f. actions ; those we have used, unsafe,
however, are very near the taiark. the ice.

A curious mixture of carelessness and
anxiety sometimes fills the mind on suoh
occasions. I often caught myself hum-
ming a verso of a frivolous song; but this
was mechanical; and the substratum of a
man's feelings under such c'rcumstanccs
is real earnestness.
The precipico'to my left was a contin-
ual prer.cher of caution, and the slope to
my right was hardly less impressive. I
looked down the former but rarely,
and sometimes descended for a considera-
ble time without looking beyond my own
my own footsteps.
The power of a thought was illustrated'

of pointed rocks at some distance below
me. These, I fait, must receive me, if 1
slipped over, and thought how, before
reaching them, I might so break my fall
as to arrive on them unbilled. The thought-
enabled me to double my speed, and as-
long as the spiky Carrier ran paiallel to
my track, I held my staff in one hand and
ccfntented myself with a slight pressure
upon "it.
I came at length to a place where the
edge was solid ice, which rose to the level
of the cornice—the latter appearing only
as if stuck against it. A grove ran be-
tween the ice and snow, and along this
grove 1 marched until the cornice became

Th) Crockett Printer comes to us dressed
in mourning, on account of the death of its
late editor and publisher, Oscar Dalton, who
died at his residence, in Crockett, on (He
night of Monday the 25th ult., after n long
and painful illness which he bore with great
fortitude and resignation, lie was horn in
Baton Ronge La., on the 22d day of Febru-
ary. 1820. He came to Texas as a volunteer
in the army in 1837. and finally removed
here in 1840, since which time Texas has
been his home. He werit to Crockett and
started the first newspaper ever published
there, the Printer, in 1853. He wss of a very
feeble constitution, and his death was pro-
bably hastened, if not caused, by a severe
wound he received in a personal difficulty a
year sinoe. from which he never wholly re-
covered.
