With Freedom’s soil beneath our feet, , And Freedom’s gamier streaming o’er us I FINDING THE MILK IN THE COCOANUT. » < Th»>Bicbmond Whig, alluding to tho appeals made by Northern to Southern Democrats, that they shall put tbenKelvei iu the. breach against the reeonstruc- tion policy of Congress, and defeat the pending Con stitutional atriendment, holds the following language 1 They do not say to us, you fought ou*1 battles for four years—fought it until yon could fight.no longer, and were compelled fo surrender your armies iu tho field—and now you are entitled to-reposes surrender the last garrison you ineffectually hold aud address yourselves to the necessary work of recuperation. No! they do not say this, or any- tiling like it, On tho contrary, they meanly hppcal to a crushed* “bleeding, and brbken-heartod people to sacrifice the last feeble remnants of thoir political and social exist ence, in order thift they (tlie Northern Democracy) may bo saved frotn tlio operations of tho Fifteenth Amendment.— Nothhig more shameful has occurred ia. these days pf de- . genoraey and profligacy. How richly tbe party of disloyalty and treason merits this sarcastic rebuke for its bombastic trucu lehce, its shameful infidelity and its base cowardice. Tbe South would never have revolted, had it not beeiv for .the encouragements held out by Democrat- ip' .loaders. A Democratic President declared that States could not, bo coerced to remain in the Union, and., refused to taka .a single step toward succoring beleaguered Federal forts nnd arsenals. A Democrat ic ex-President prophesied that grass would grow in Northern streets, and blood flow on Northern high ways. Democratic Conventions were held, which de nOunced the call ofthe Government for troops ns an act of tfranical usurpation, and declared tbat our sqldierB must ma-clv over “ living ramparts” before they, could reach, the South. The attitude of tho Demooratio Farty was a direct cncourngeihent to se cession, and a promise tlmt it should receive such physical support as would make it a triumph. But before the-populav uprising whioh followed tbe • bombardment of Sumter, these cowardly foes otna tlonal Unity, subsided. Their bodies did not fill tbe depdly and imminent breach. ( On the contrary, their patriotic bunting floated gaily besido the brightest tjbat, streamed upon the breeze; tbelr names figured in the li*?* of war committees; their voices were a t tuned to strains of martial eloquence. It is true that as events progressed, they did at times endeavor to make good their early record, by opposing ihe re-en forccmont of our depleted armies; by swearing at the enterprises of oar troops, and stigmatizing them ' with opprobrious epithets; by organizing resistance to the draft; by organizing secret disloyal societies to promote and welcome invasion; by a spasmodic qttempt to.supplement Lee’s invasion of Pennsylva nia with riot end bloodshed in Northern cities. But cn the whole, they were mighty careful to keep their precious persons out of the reach of danger. As the South was deluded by the Dem ocracy into the inau guration of war, so it could charge against the Demo- ‘ critic Party that by it/attitude, the struggle was prolonged, and tlie humiliation of the Confederacy ihgde more absolute and complete. . Such an experience ought to have been sufficient; but .the South bad still another lesson to learn of the hypocrisy aod weakness of its so .called allies at the .North. The Fourteenth amendment was held forth. bjr; Congress and the Bepuhiicau party as an olive- branch, When it was proffered, the former Rebels ' were in condition to submit, and the problem of re construction might have been easily and definitely settled. But Andrew Johnson nnd the Democratic Party induced a different course. They promised to ' revolutionize popular sentiment; to organize a new party, and sweep tho country, upon a basis of conces sion . They held that If the Seut h were only defiant, the North, grown weary of contending for moral ideas, ' Would yield. To the declusion thus fostered, we may trave the rejection of the amendmeot by so many States; the organization of Ku-KIuz Klans; the s y& temqtio outrages upon freedmen, and deoial of their civil rights, the necessity for maintaining military Governments during so long a period, The Demo- .Cmtio Party may prate as it will about the failure to perfect reconstruction; but it cannot blind anybody, ’ ’ South or North, to the fact that this delay is its own had work ; that but for it, Virginia, Georgia, Miesip- _,pi; Louisiana nndTcsas would to-day have recognized ‘ icpresesentatives in Cor-gress, with local organiza tions perfected upon a loyal basis. Evidently, the South is growing tired of this bad . -leadership and its disagreeable consequences. It be gins to realize that safety aud profit Ho 1« the path of C, f rvduty: that it can hope for no good frofti alliance with i, * .avparty which the people have so often and empbatl* ytotiy repu.iat* d. Desiring restoration to their privi- ’ ' HjefcSuhV the Union, the States which are still exclu •’tlcd;will make haste to accept the condition imposed Cbfgress. And their acceptance of the Fifteenth ,r. mark another point in the decadence ? -ofthe so-called Democracy of the North.

SheJtOn Mills) until opposite the residence of Bev. Mr. Alii- ger, a distance of about 40 yards, wheu Mr. D. fell- trampled upon by the horses and struck by the wheel of the wagon. lie was quickly picked by Mr. J. T. Leu is and M. Oakey. who were passing. Dr. Kissam was sent for and was soon on the spot, when it was found t hat Mr. D.’s collar bone was fractured and hip legs and hips terribly bruised. Mr. Datis is a t the residence o f Kev. J. B. Ailiger, and is doing ab well as can be expected, Considering that’ he is about 77 years of sge. He is doing remarkably well after ibe severe injuries received, ; Mr. Hanna, the owner of the t'eato, was Standing on the wagon at the time, and exhibited the most re markable presence of mind, by stepping upon the pole, between tho hOrs'es. seizing the reins wlifch were laying upon their backs, and theta holding on Us well as he could, stopping the team and saving tin) ioad, after a ride of about half a mile.. — i +VF- . . * A ttempt cf P kisonebs to E scape \ fhom ■ t H e C ounty JAi|,.T-0n Thursday night last another at tempt was made by sotiie of the prLooCrs Conlmed in the Queens County Jail to esbape therefrom. The first intimation given of the designs of the prisoncro was made known t<r the Jailor, Mr. Joseph Wilkinson, the following morning by the fact that a large hole had been partly cut through the Wall under tbe win dow in the back part of the lower hall, and where three o fthe prisoners were found by the jailor en gaged in making the aparture. They were imtnei, diateiy secured, and on search being made of the cells tub skeleton keys were found secreted together with other implements wherewith to aid them iii making tiieir escape. In the cell pf David Burke, now con fined on charge of tnurder, a rat tail file was,discov ered in the bed, winch was evidently intended to be used in removing the shackles frcirii hia onkles.' : The keys and implements aboVe uamed were uh- doubtedly passed into the prison by sorhe ohtilde parties, and evidently friends of the prisoner Burke *' This Is the third time that a like attempt hai b'eeri made wiihin the past three years/by the prisoners (o escape from ihe same building, and i n one iiistnucA the attempt proved successful. ■ •.
