Uere the gentleman went into a harangue oli in cauues oi me war, aiiuaing to ine future, he said : "Slavery was a aivine institution, ana we must have that institution or the South will ever be bankrupt. Thpy speak of our cause a3 the 'lost cau'- If so, shall it be lost for ever? No?

The gentleman s speech was implacably hostUe, anu is deejiy depiored by a few here. Ailhouga the speech was able and scholarly, . t was blf. ery prejudiced f'om beginning to end. The speaker- was ou slightly applaaded. A proai'aeut Republi can remarked tnls event'.ng thai f his speecn insured a Republican victory lathe Slate in iNovember next. We have given the whole disptch, so that our readers those of them who heard- Mr. Martin' speech can see iiowfar this self-exalted scribbler, who ever he may be, has chosen to pervert the facts in the case. He commences by referingto theCen tennial Celebration, held here last year, a period of our existence which is near and dear to every North Caroli nian, but particularly so to the people of Mecklenburg, heaps vituperation and abuse upon us for preaching one thing last year and, according to his assertions, another this year; when the whole world knows that there never was a lime when there was a greater desire among the masses for harmony and fraternal feeling between the North and South. He states one glaring falsehood which we will nail to the counter at once. General Hill was not one of the assistant marshals; was not onjthe ground, in fact he was twenty ffve miles from the city and of course topk no partin the ceremonies. . The perversions and misstatements made by the Times correspondent, could only have been made from the basest of motives, and we hurl back into his teeth the maledictions and im precations which he intended for others Hissing with venom and vituperation he sought to injure the people of Charlotte, and of the South by the ex hibition of malignity and spleen, but we shall take care that the barbed shaft "At random sent, Finds miark the archer little meant." Eev. S. Taylor Martin, was the ora tor of the day and in the course of his speech said somethings which, though true, had better been left unsaid. We thought so at the time and hae not changed our opinion, but we cannot it idly by end bear. hi manly utter ajpCes maligned ind garbled so as to mean the very opposite ef what he intended. The first paragraph men tioned by this correspondent as hav ing been utttered by Mr. Martin i3 a base fabri(nrtferfromHhe beginning to end. He said and we take pride in repeating it : 'lnough we may not assert our principles at the point of the bayonet, still in the sphere of thought, the con flicts of ideas must goon, and if .we are found fakhfultp our trusty the time mjiyyetcome,wni4a tne xforth-'itseit, re deemed from its thraldom, raay hail us as the standard bearers of liberty, and by the vis yum oi virtuous principles may- throw off-the leprosy that ia threatening the life of the nation, and give to all a tree, wise and beneficent government, thafeeball evoke the af fection of all her subjects." This m tire utterance which by this malicious correspondent, has been tortured into a new declaration of t-war. wiervi.truth it is but a continu- f aoce of th fight made by honest men, throughout the South for the past ten years, against radicalisn and corrup- tian.And.in fayor -.-conservatism and On the subject of slavery, Mr. Mar tin justly said, "Legislation may blot out-the institution o,slaverv. but it caiuikauiKaewver avsui it cannot make that unlawful which G'od sane tions. It cannot make a supplement to the bible, nor,obUterate theirn mutable pdfttinctkm between Tigh4nd w'ring.1' These are Btrong words, and in same respects untimely and uncalled for but they are true and are as old as the bible itself, and no one but an idiot, or a knive (soulci i'e'rjrert them into the belief that Mr. Martin or any of his hearers, entertained for one moment jfaeathai) fhatp slavery was , IWetJtfie Soutlsl Slav crysoiay'have been the bane of the Southand every thinking man will say so, who has studied its history and its effects for the past fifty years, and we do not know a single man who was a slaveholder who would for one mo ment entertain the idea of its rc -establishment, even if actuated by the principle cf gain only, provided .be would be compelled to keep them. But it has been forever blotted out beyond the remotest posibility of its re-establishment, and such an idea be, longs only to fanaticalpclitiejars who use it for political effect. In gspeaking of the "lost cause'' Mr. Martin said after refering at length to tbe principles which were involved du ring the late war,' iVc call our cause the Ivst cause, but is it lo.st forever? The principles for which we contended will live forvcr, and the time may yet come, when the North itself redeemed from its thraldom, may hail us as the standard bearers of liberty." Just such sentiments as every true South ern man, who has not lost his man hood and his honor' might justly en tertain. He made no allusion, what-, ever to the "stars- And h; ' floating proudly over otir Sunny South," and these expressions could only have been coined in the fertile brftin of the Times Correspondent. -: We have thus far done our duty, in showing the falsity and perversion of this son of ' Belial, the dissolutest spirit Kho fell," and we would be glad that our duty to ourselves and our people ended here,but but it does not. We liave a further obligation to perform, and that is to say that Prof. Martin, is not a repre sentative Southern man of to-day in matters of politics, and to say that his speech was in some respects ill-timed and out of place, is but the truth. He had been invited there to deliver a memorial oration in honor of the dead soldiers of the "lost cause" whom we all delight to honor, but he took occa sion to make remarks, capable: of perversion as we have seen, which with in the next tenty-iour nours were scattered broad-cast over the North as evidence of our continued disloyalty, and our willingness to renew the war once more. The writer of this article spent four year3 in following the for tunes of the "lost cause." He yielded to none m his devotion to principle, during that time, and points with pride to his record, but the surrender at Appomattox "sufficiently amused" him, and he submits quietly whether right or wrong, to that arbitrament which ia -th e last resort between na tions. We feel that while in many respects Mr. Martin's remarks were jus and true, that some portions of hi speech, were calculated to arouse that sectional feeling, and that sectional animosity which the good men of the country, North and South are anxious to allay, and because they are so they become firebrands in the hands of time-serving Radicals, who are but too glad to make political capital out of them. No, as St. Paul says, we must not only avoid evil, but the appearance of it. and to that end 'we should all labor, heartily, cheerfully and will ingly. We can truthfully say may the time 111 A never come when we snail cease i do honor to our late comrades, who fell in the cause of the South, fighting for the God given rights, that had been handed down from our fathers, but let us do what we can to allay the preju dices of the present hour, and let the truth be recognized that the cause for which they died, though just, honora ble and patriotic, is of the past and can have no renewal in future, except in the conflict of ideas, in the sphere of thaught, a suggested by Mr. Martin Thousands of patriotic hearts, wb-o were true as the needle to the pole, when there was necessity for patriot jam beat a reponsive throb to these 8entiments,and yet we too can say with Mr. Martin, "beside their graVesj crowned with tho hallowed associa tions and memories of the past, let us catch some inspiration from the dead renew our allegiance-to the cause of our country, and go forward, making Duty our watchword, Principle our euide. Truth our goal, and our land mav vet smile with freedom and peace." The Damages. A colored citizen o Ohio street maintains- a family dog about six inches higa and eight inches long.,. The said dpg never tried to eat anvene-tm untir yesterday, wnen he attack e'cTa pedestrian and nipped his leg. The pedestrian at once called the 6fwaer;of the dog,out doors and demand ecf damages. r - ' "Whar's de proofs of de bite ?" inquired the colored man. "Right there,'"' replied the victim, ex mbiting a- black and blue spot. "And what's de damage?" -"Five hundred dollars !" "Shoo ! You can have de dog for a dollar 1"-" - "Makes no difference," continued the man. "1 don't say that he has mil icted-fiye hundred "dollars', worth of physical damage estimate, that - at only two shillings, but I can't lie awake nights and think of hydrophobia for no smaii sum. ; - . 'I can't pever pay dat suni.n . "Then I'll sue you I" ?'Very welh I'll adiournde suit til de bite gets well, and den wh ar will yer prool3ber' The man reflected a mojirent and said r . : . ? ' " ! "I-see. We must come ddsra to phy sical damages." The colored man knocked' the dog in the head "withr a spade, and s the anirnaPkicked his last, he remarked : ;i,ypvi has been bitten. . by. a ddg, -1, don't know nuflah about , it, ll'f used to; own a little, dog, but he's dead .now !, If dar's anyjiiore talk about damages ..around heah, I'll climb over de fence and hurt; sorne'whlte man!''

Every body knew that the office holders, from the Cabinet minister downward, were plundering the government and contri buting portions of their plunder to maintain the supremacy of the party but nobody supposed that our Republi can statesmen were banded together like" a set of highwaymen or a league of pickpockets, to contribute money to hire lawyers and bribe witnesses when one of their numbers was caug it by ihe peelers and hauled up before the magistrate. "Such a thieves' mutual benefit association among the Presid ent's private secretaries and Cabinet omcers is so astounding as to be actual- y ridiculous. It is said that at a slate dinner the other day there was not a man present who was not under inves tigation ; and if sympathy depends, as some maintain, upon our: capacity to conceive ourselves suffering as the per son whom we desire to relieve suffers, t is easy to understand now tre active charity of our statfestnan who has not been caughtf stea'-ing can overflow in a $1,000 check to aid in the defense of another statesman who has oeen less fortunate. . He fe'ete that his own turn may come next. Hanging in China.- I observed a mode of Chinese capital punishment known as "the cage." The "cage" used was between two and three leet square, and oyer six feet high. Near the bot tom was a close floor of plank. The lour sides were open work of plank palings. The planks composing the cover were made to fit around the man's necks close enough to hang him, but not close enough to strangle him. The condemned man was put into this cage, his head projecting aboye the cover fitting around his neck and under his feet a number of bricks, one above the other, just enough to enable him to stand on tiptoe. When this position irom weariness, becomes unend-, urable, . his only relief was to hang by his neck. The design is to make a man suffer as much as possible, but not ' to kill him too quickly. Usually, after a criminal has been standing this way for a day or so, one of the bricks is removed, and then another, until he, hangs by his neck altogether. It is said that a strong man ordinarily will endure this torture several days belore his life becomes extinct. Christain at Work. Brevity. Brevity is a lost art: but it is the fault of time that writers or speakers cannot be brief. There is too much to say, because too many things nae happened since the world sUrt- ed. In the beginning Adam and Eve could talk as concisely as the ten com mandments. I here were no old Greek frauds to quote from; no precedents; no remembrance on the uartof Adam of his mother's cooking. With the first couple brevity was the soul and body of wit, and there were no words to waste, and nothing but plain busi ness te do. N (J lienubhcan.
