There ia a tide, a vibration, a balancing,
in all tbinga. Growth alternatee with de-
cay, motion with reat, light with ahade,
heat with cold, animation with qniet. The
moods whioh paaa over the human spirit
have their exact counterpart in the ahift-
log spiritual complexion of ohurches, in
political lalls aad gales, ineducatioaal stirs
aad stagnations, in natioaal apathies and
exdtomeata, aad, finally, in the grand riae
and fall of empirea and aystems, in the
vast chameleon-like changes which belong
to the whole human race, and whose sub
lime succession it is the part of history to
record. Spiritual dynamics deserve infi-
nitely more study than material ones,snd
an individual or a people, is never prepared
to work out future courses, to plan, to re-
solve, to determine upon ends and select
means, until he or it comprehends that al]

Otherwise there is no tolling how much
strain and sweat and labor may be wasted
at inopportune times, how cold irons
will be strnok, seed-times overlooked, high

On all handa wo hear it whiapered that
with ua, aa a people, in a religious and a lit-
ocary sense, H Is spring time.
There is a certain spring-like stir, a fitful
rustle, a motion as of breaking buds and
up-coming shoota, an irregular throbbing
aa though the frozen sap was begiaaiag to
thaw aad trtokle ia its contracted veins,—
in abort, all thonghtful minds feel that a
new and rich season of mental growth is
dawning upon us. Therefore it is that we
wiah to direct the earneat and intelligent to
what may be expected at this season, and
to what they may make of it irthey will.
It has ever been common for periods of
great mental activity .revolution and change,
to sueoeed great wars. During a fierce and
protracted war old landmarks go down;
old opinions and principles disappear ; the
household gods and garret lumber,—vener-
ated for £hrir ago, but long since useless,—
are scattered to the four winds; a kind of
spiritual chaos dnaues and there Ib a wide
fusion and oommlngllng of the elementa.
Peace comes, and slowly after it social re-
organisation and a re-chryatallaatioa of
Ideas, motives and plana.
Joat here wo are; and just here let those
of us wbo earnestly desire that the new or-
der of things shall be a gracious and a bles-
sed one, those of us wbo believe the highest
truths have aot all yet beea discovered and
who are.seeking for them; who desire to
caltivate aad mahe lovely the very best
things that literature or art create, who
would make oar religious faith purer and
firmer, and our social life aobler aad sweet*
or—let us use the llbe ty given us without
abusing It Let us feel that a privilege to
choooe new paths, adopt new principles and
embrace new philosophies, Is not a privilege
to choose anything that Is not bettor and
truer than the old. Neither is it a privi-
lege to turn our minds loom ia the domain
of general skepticism and lawless eleoti-
clam; to discard all old guides and atub-
bornly to atrlke out at wiU any wild, errat-
io courae of faaeied originality. We moat
work aad think with soaae system, aad aab-
jeot ourselves to aome wise order. We
must straightway choooe aonae port, aad
make for it with set sails and firmly-held
redder. We most observe the laws of
healthy, natural growth, or hear very poor
fruit or a till worse, turn oat iil-aavored
fuagi.
It la a peculiarly happy tiaae to rrcon-
aider old jodgmeota of aathora and books,
to aee how they meet modera reqalrementa,
and to purge ourselves from all merely con-
veatiooal prejudices aad unreasonable bi-
ases. It Is a favorabk) time to emancipate
ourselves from all falae leachera, whose
dogmas will aot hear the light of present
developments, and to renew our allegiance
to all true onea whose verify and wisdom
the present times attest. Y.'t, do well,
also, to resolve that truth is truth, and beau-
ty beauty,wherever found, and that we have
a right to feed upon all the green spots
which the world sffords. Now, too, is the
time to prune and train the forced, abnor-
mal growth of much in poetry and prom
wbicn the war prodnoed. While
state of warfare eminently fosters
and stimulates originality and vigor of ex-
pression, and calls out all the latent poetry
and fire in the soul, it also favors a turgid
style, inflated sentiment and unsale exag-
geration. Let all this be looked to, and yet
let not a (ingle spark of true, pure flama be
smothered or rebuked. The chaff can all be
winnowed from the wheat.
Above all, let it be noted, that if we refuse
to press into this new life now opened to us,
a most hidions stagnation will overtake us.
There is fatal danger in refusing to advance.
Let not tiie spirit of the Past make mum-
mies of ns in his foasil-filled caverns. Let
us open wide the doors and windowB of our
souls to ail fresh and wholesome ideas, to
all reasonable schemes, and healthful en-
thusiasm, and learn to believe that there if
no adjustment of disputes, no result of con-
test, however sterile, and cold,and rocky it
may seem, which may not be made to
nourish rich clusters of good, as the Alpine
cliflb nourish and support the choicest
grapes. ___
A private letter informs us that at the
recent session of the Diatriot Court for
Fayette County, the Judge charged the
Grand Jury that they oould " in no oase
receive the testimony of a negro against a
white person." J. R. Burns, Esq., pub-
lished an address to the Governor on the
subjeot, involving a legal argument to
show that, under the present status of ne-
groes, with no protection from ownera, aa
ia former timea, negro teatimony muat be
admitted. The Grand Jury acted upon the
prlneiplee of theaddreaa, instead of on the
oharge of the Judge. The Judge recon
sidered, and approved of what they had
done. The credibility of negro testimony
is to be judged of by the Court and Jury,
like the testimony of white men, but,
as things now stand, it would be unsafe to
deny the competency of sueh testimony.
The State Gas«tte publishes a statement
from the Nashville Banner of the oause and
manner of the death of the late Hon Wm.
L. Yancey. The Montgomery Advertiser
denied this statement immediately, and
gave the true account ot the matter. Sena-
tor Bill, of Georgia, who was engaged in
the alleged diffioulty with Mr. Yanoey,
whioh, aa the Banner alleged, laid the
foundation of Mr. Yanoey'a death, and
who 2 ought to know the truth aa well aa
anybody elae, approved the atatement of
the Advertiser, aad deaied that of the
Baaaer, We have heretofore publiahed
both aooouuta. We auppose the Gazette
haa overlooked the atatemeat of the Ad-
vertiser.
Gea. Clarke, formerly Coloaei of the 84th
Iowa, and who waa the firat Federal offioer
to take oommaad of this post after the
surrender, made us a oall yesterday. Af-
ter being mustered out of service, and re-
turning home, he has oome to Texas to
make it bis home. The people of Hous-
ton and those of the country who had
dealings with him, will not soon forget the
kindness and oourtesy with whioh he dis-
charged the delioate duties of his office at
that trying and unhappy time. His course
was calculated, as muoh as any man's
caurse, in bis position, oould be, to assuage
the mortification and bitterness of feeling
whioh filled. the hearts of our people in
view of their recent misfortune. Several
of our oitizens had met him in battle, and
found him a brave soldier. They then
found him a generoua one. We have no
doubt they will like him equally well as a
fellow-citizen.
Col. Clarenoe J. Prentioe, a son of the
oelebrated editor of the Louisville Journal,
oalled upon us yesterday. He was a gal-
lant offioer in the Confederate army. His
brother, Courtney Prentioe, also an offioer,
was killed in the Confederate service.—
Some connected with this office have some
reoolleotions of Camp Chaae, in whioh Col.
Prentioe is very pleasantly associated.
Rare was the fun and merriment with
wbioh the tedium of suoh a life was relieved
In the mess of Gen. Churohill,whioh includ-
ed several well known gentlemen of thia
State. Col. Prentice thinka of makim
Texaa hla home. We ahall be glad to aee
him a eitisen of the State.
We are muoh obliged to Maj. Wharton
and the Commeroial Express, for late New
York and Boaton papera.
We had the pleasure of meeting our old
friend and correspondent, Tom. Ochiltree,
not to know whom, argues that yon never
have been anywhere, yesterday. Tom's
bead is as red as ever, his spirita aa buoy-
ant, hie blood as warm, bia wit aa bright,
hia tales aa fascinating, his tongne as ready.
Nationa may riae and fall, hingdoma may
totter,confederaciea be overthrown, but Tom
ia not the bird to be buried in any auch
ruins. He baa come home to Texaa to
live, and we welcome him to all the good
tbinga of the land. His gallantry on many
a well-fought field, gives him a claim to the
affection of all of us. When his sign ap-
pears in the zodiac, we trust no envious
cloud will prevent the people seeing and
kindly greeting it
We are glad to see our old acquaintance
in the onoe familiar faoe of tne Bastrop
Advertiser, just now rebuilt on its own
ruins. Four years ago the office was de-
stroyed by fire, and the paper forced for
that reason to suspend its issues. We trust
our friend Cain, will be able to establish it
again firmly. He will certainly publish a
good paper.
Robert Toombs has escaped from Geor-
gia and sailed for Europe.
