SPEAK NO ILL.
Nay, speak no ill a kindly word
Can never leave a sting behind,
And oh! to breathe each tale we've heard,
Is far beneath a noble mind.
Full oft a better seed is sown
By choosing thus the kinder plan;
For, if but little good be known,
Still, let as speak the best we can.
Give me the heart that fain would hide-
Would fain another's fault efface;
How can it pleasure human pride
To prove humanity but base ?
No; let us reach a higher mood, .
A nobler estimate of man;
Be earnest in the search for good, ,
And speak of all the best we can.
Then speak no ill but lenient be
To other's failings as your own;
If you're the first a fault to see,
Be not the first to make it known;
For life is but a passing day
No lip may tell how brief its span
Then, oh! the little time we stay,
Let's speak of all the best we can.

CHARLOTTE, N. C. -
Look Out ! We make an extract from a letter
received a day or two since, fioui Hendersonville,
N. C, to put our citizens on the look out for
suspicious characters : , . - -.
"The eniuiissaries of the Black Republicans are
among us. . Tbey set fire to Farmer's Mills on
Tuesday night and to the out houses attached to
his hotel on Wednesday night. His loss is about
$1,200. Be on the look out. During the public
meeting here a fellow who was suspected of being
concerned in cutting down ' the fag pole at Flat
Rock, was treated to the ancient mode of loco
motion, a ride on a rail, last night. The Vigilance
Committee, known as the "Trotters," arrested one
or two more men suspected of being birds of the
same feather. .What their fate ' was I have not
learned." , t ' . -
Patriotic Sentiments.-The Governor of
South Carolina, in a late Proclamation to the vol
unteers of that State, uses the following patriotic
language; ... ', ,. '
"Soldiers of South Carolina! Hold yourselves
in readiness to march, at the word, to the tomb of
Washington j and swear that no Northern Goths
and Vandals shall ever deseerate its sacred pre
ci nets, and that you will make of it an American
Mecca, to whick the votaries of freedom and inde
pendence, from. the. South, shall make their pil
grimage through all time to come. Let the sons of
South Carolina answer to the call from the sons of
Col. Howard who led the Maryland Line in tri
umph oyer the bloody battlefield of our Oowpens.
Let them know that we will return that blood with
full interest, and let them feel that they are now,
as they were then, our brothers March to Vir
ginia and lay your heads upon the bosom of this
mother of States, and hear her great heart beat
with new impulses for a renewed and glorious
independence. ' , .
Surely the good and the virtuous of the North
ern States cannot sanction the lawless and , brutal
despotism now inaugurated at Washington., ,,
Be ready! Stand by your arms mark, time to
the tap of independence, and at the word march
forward and onward to the Borders. Our glorious
old sister. North Carolina, is with vou and her
freemen arc in arms. . Join them in the struggle
for defence; and let tyrants know' that there are
men who can make them hear the ring and feel
the weight of Southern steel. '
Susnciocs Characters. We learn from
different rortions of the cnuntv that several
strangers have been seen prowling about under
nretence of peddling table cloth's, &c.; but acting
in fnch manner as to cause the belter that this
wns not the real object. One was seen by the
negroes of a gentleman a few miles from town, m
ihe plantation. Another, 'in the same neighbor
hood was making very .minute inquiries as to th
character, property, etc.. of different persons. And
yet another in a different section was found talking
with negroes at a distance, from any road or path
Tt is well enough to watch these' fellows : they are
after no good. Even if at nothing worse they are
engaged in illegal trading, and should be detained
until the sheriff could lay hands upon them"'
We learn that gentlemen in several neighbor
hoods have determined to arrest all snch charac
ters who may pass near them, and hand them over
for examination. A gorid" idea that, and one which
in onr belief if is the duty of every' good citizen
to act upon. Tn these times of' peril' it behoove?
everv man to Lc on the alert, and we verily believe
no class of persons needs watching more than
these strolling traders. WthJeslofa Argun." "4 "

SpKcrfcATlNO I7f Phavtsio!8. Nearly . all
articles of provisions have recently taken a sudden
rise in price, owing, we presume. 'to "the Taet of a
threatened, if not yet actual, blockade of our ports.
The rise in price is all, wrong and something
should be done to put a atop 'to it. A similar
attempt to raise the price of provision-- was made
in Baltimore last week The authorities notified
the dealers that H i wtyiH "not be allowed, Tand the
merrhants 'Immediately" ' agreed' that provisions
should he" bought aiW sold, at a fir price. There
is no necessity for food to go up here there is
plenty i the eownrry and oar opinion Ts, thaf they
will eome down to a levjp? little if af "all ahov the
usual rates-', Eyerybody is entitled to a fair profit,
but self-preseryatiojf "requires , that no undue ad
vantage should heallowed tobe tak-n. '"
We commend Ihii matter to the consideration
of the authorities.
' WILL IT BE A LONG STRUGGLE P
Will the war be brief or protracted f This ia
the inquiry, on every tongue. The probabilities
are very much balanced. The same individuals
hold opiuions to-day which they combatted yc8teT-,
day. Did we belong to the European system of
politics, the great Powers would interfere to; pro
vent a war so detrimental to the general interests
of Christendom as ours will be. " Tbey- will .hesi
tate to interfere on a theatre so remote; and oursj
in all probability, will, American like, be. a 'free
fight." - ;t ,:. ,-, v
: The great material .interests of the North wilt
be far more seriously affected than those of the
South. The agriculturist ia more independent
than the manufacturer, and even profits by a war
which ruins all other classes. The South. can
stand a war almost unharmed that . would prostrate
any other nation. While the South would suffer com
paratively little, the North must suffer universally
by a protracted struggle; and as that section is the
aggressor, reason would argue that hostilities will
not be long continued. ...
' But, as it required great and potential causes to
break up so strong a Union and so great a Goy
ernment, it must be recollected that these same
causes may operate to make the war a terrible and
a long one. It is not. a war of punctilio between
sovereigns; nor of conflicting interests between
rival nations : admitting of adjustment and com
promise. It is a war of passions between! hating
and hated, 4raees. . It is, a .war of fanaticism
and subjugation on the part of the North; of acorn
and contemptuous hatred on the part of the South.
These angry passions are uncontrollable, transport
ing and irrepressible. The South would sacrifice
everything it holds dear- before it would succumb
to the authority of t ho despised Norlh; and the
North will forget all schemes of gain, and .throw
its . ledgers into the fire, to indulge its fanatical
hatred of slavery, to. crush out" the slave-holder.
Reasoning from the past, the probabilities are
very unfavorable to a speedy termination of hostili
ties. The safest policy for tho South is toprepare
for a long continued 'war. Her preparations
ought to be on a thorough, and permanent ca!o.
We should -.not, take anj , hasty Treasures .that
would interfere with plans for complete organiza
tion, and the most comprehensive operations.-. In
the most ample military prepartions, in a large and
well disciplined nriny, in , thorough and compre
hensive organization, our. whole safety and success
will lie. - j t . f. : ! ; v J . .
ADVICE TO VOLUNTEERS.
A writer who Mgns himself "An Old Soldier,"
gives the following advice to young soldiers: ,
1. Remember that in a campaign more men die
from sickness than from the bullet. -r ;
2. Line your blanket with one thickness of
brown drilling. This adds . but four ounces in
weight, "and doubles the warmth. . ., . t ..
3. Buy a small India rubber blanket (only $1,-.
50) to lay on the ground or to throw over your
shoulders when on guard duty during a rain storm.
Most of the eastern troops are provided with these.
Straw to lie on is not always to be had. - k- ,
4. The best military hat in usa is the i light
colored soft felt hat. the erowtn being sufficiently
high to allow space for air over the brain. You
can fasten it up as a continental in fair .weather,
or turn it down when it is.wetorvery sunny ;
5. Let your beard grow so as to protect your
throat and lungs. ... .
G. Keep your entire person clean, this prevents
fevers and bowel complaints in warm climates.
Hash your. body each day, if possible. - i-
'.Avoid strong coffee and oily -meat. 'Gen. Scott
said that the too free use of these (together " with
neglect in keeping the skin clean) cost many a
soldier his life in Mexieo." ' ' "
; 7. A sudden - check of prespi ration by.j chilly
or night air often eanses fever and death. W,hen
thus exposed do not forget your blanket.
. : . t 11
flOW THE NoRTTIERTf ARMIF8 ARE TO BE Pe-
FEATF.n.-The Richmond Examiner thinks the
Northern troops will have enough to to fights-the
Southern climate, to say nothing of: men in arms.
It says: . - - " I
If there were no men to fight such invaders, the
climate for the next seven months would put them
to route. Think of what enemies thai vast faintly
of Southern fevers alone would he. if once let loose
among an army of onion-raisers, from Connecticut,
hay-makers from ' A ermonr, pumpkin-growers
from New Hampshire, and clam catchers from
Rhode Island. A lively spectacle they1 would
present if yellow jack, break bone, intermittent.
bilious, congestive, swamp, and a 'score of other
fevers were toacixe them. They would he smitten
worse than the Assyrians ever were. The" fate of
ihe Amalckites ' would be roiM compared with
that of an invading army of Yankees, if they were
to venture South in the Spring, Summer or ' Full
Imonths. Jeff Davis' army might stand stiH and
let the Yankees and the fevers have a fair fight. "
Tct any man travel by land or water from New
Orleans to New York, a few days after the family
of Southern fevers have commenced their Spring,
summer, and r ail campaigns, and watch the mi
gratory herr's ad flocks f unaeclim-ited Yankees
