A Visit to- Holiday House.* OR, THE 1A 4CIFVL AND REAL. BY REV. CREA.CHESSE. A ride of eighteen or twenty miles on the train, brought ni- to the station where a delight ful riding horse, or r'ather a charming black pony, Centaur, by name, awaited me , an'd hav ing mounted him, he bore'me off with the greatest alacrity, and with the most charming pae, through sunny lanes, shady dells and breezy upl.ands, till with an exhilirating cantor I rode up-to the font of thc mansion, and dis mounted *ith my little cicerone, who had ridden behind me. Fair Holiday. Bouse, the seat of un obtrusive, but glegantlospitality, with its ramb ling architecture,. its 'wide- and Ex,tensive gal leries, 'arcades anA verndahs, its smooth -es planade,.As shady bowers, its Ovenerable oaks, its park-like grounds, its extensive mews, mea dows and corn fieWs, i's graceful-avenue.;-and pa-villion of symnetrical architecture, its charm - inm.g pro;pects, stood before me; and here I was tg spend a few days in the sweet retirement of the country, surrounded by the genial infht*ces of nature, in' her most varied and pleasit aspects, and the 'society of"refined, elegant and cultivated feiales. I v%as welcomed with that Unmis eablee'sincerity which is a characteristic of "the lady chatelaine," and was received by the- four ladies o: the jnansion: as they sat at their work in the pleasant library, where I was indti ed.into an arm-chair, which for luxurious re pose, might- well be callej "Sleepy Hollow." I had been cbmmissioned by the two younger ladies, to make certain shopping purchasi for them, before leaving to.n, and as soon as the sable porters had arrived w iLh the boxes, pack ages, &c., tiere was tht exciting interest of open i and displaying the various articles oi6my -ing commission ;and the four ladies, each in turn, and true to their feminine- instincts andl tastes, expatiated'. upon ihe various merits of brown merino, plaid pop'in, India muslin,, French iats and Persian gaiters. I was complimented exceedYngly upon my correct taste in the selec tions, which, of course, increased my good humor ana added -to- the enjoyment of the hour. After the exhibition of these fominiire treasur6s, I Aas told that my apartment was ready, if I wished the - refteshment of a forenoon lsiesta or to lave my - face and hands, oi- to change my apparel, after a warm jsty ride on the cars. *IUpon this hint, I retired along the verandah to the snug chamber, which had always been appropriated to me~ on former.v'its, where the neat, comfortable and even luxurious arrangement ana a-ppointments of- the room seemed even more inviting than vsual. The handsome set of cottage furniture, a Iz Bavarian, the snowy drapery-of the. couch, - with a silken comfort, folded double at the fot of the be.,. -to,be used in case of a change-of temperate he large whfte d1owny pillows, * cegvered with fine linen an~d ruffled with flue cam bric, the ewer and basin of gilt. porcelain the dark crimson curtains,, and the airiness of the I found that the chamber had already a tenant, .6who .was absent onavisit; but whose portmanteau and valise- were in the room. This tenant, or guest rather, proved to be a Georgia Captain, from various State.; *hd on a former occason, claimed andgjeceived' the bitality of "Holiday - House." This captain had returned. to Sduth Oarolini, and had made one or two visits to holiday House and its vicinitf. lie had been bahre abont two reeks, ' iting &bout in he neighborhood, ~ and ma ig his heaaquarters there. Afte'r I had' been.'n the room -abgut an bod# or more;T my 'retirement' was- integrapted by 'genuijt,e type of ioe'tain class of Georgians. He * camne in with a mnixtuire of boldness aind sh:vness, -for the ladiesg; with tIheir usual 'fondness, for' * ystifyiig and hoaxing their male friends,.and acquaiotances,.had inf'ormed him bf' the new oc * cupatof the'-room,' bift had- purposely. misled him as to whothe occupant was. HIe evidently * had doubts upon the subjget, and after a partial opening of'the door and looking in, he advanced * with some 4iffidenes whilst I arose from my' re * cumbent. posture to receive him. I was not ex * actly the persen he expectedto seer but he soon *coajecgpred whomj was; and with a mixture og - cordiality-and bashfipess came for ward to'slke "hands with me. We were to be' room-mates ior the few days of my stay, and J set myself to work,- with some listlessness at first, to make his acquaintance and to draw hin. out. I found him to be one of a genus who are someivhat refresh - ing to meet with' after the usual conventionalit.es of society, and though unpolished and il thout modib dellay of charac~ter, had still a freshness * ~ and hbart.iness of character,- and a capa?ciy. of' - physicaderdoyment from his robuist health,-which was.rather engaging and exhilirating. He was - ' perfectly at home 'wherever he went, and was 'a -kind-hearted-mlan. If his manner and voice had beeni toned down' by" polish ehnd refinement, ani * 'his language in@roved some, he would have been veiny presentable in societp? But as the leopard' cannot change 'his spots, sad he (the Captain-) .had some-vyery good traits, -I was fain to affiliate wi&h . himn, especially as he professed to rp lads' friends to have taken a most unusual liking 'to we, ugh I had been only ordinarily civil and polte him. f found tim not 1t- all -objection, able as a room-mate, for in his personal habits he was very neat and cleanly, though his wardrobe was soin'ehaf, bizarre,, or rather not in perfet * erste. He seenmed to. be a man of good' morals, was not profane. or addicted, to any gross vices that I could discover frornhis conversation. I think his femnalo relations 'must have exercised a good 'ffuence upon him, for there we'e evi * ~dences. of it in his. conduct 'and conversation. He evidently liked good female. society, though his manners 'were somewhat brusque. In due course of time, dinner was announged, and *re joined the ladie'er they passed our room e~ -their way to the dining' room, which opdbed upon the egstern extremity of the verandah. The diu ing room was aFy and pleasant, but being a new 'room agd fnished' with-the ,ba.nia ahowing overhead a lia Gotide, if was a fancy of mine to compare it to the banque(ng room in old Hadldon Hall,.in Derbyshire in Englepd, the' old baronical hall which is still a rerie. of the middle ages, and which I had the good fortune to visit once.

Clubs of ten, for six months, $112; and one to getter up of club. By this it will be seen that five persons club bing together will receive five copies for six dol-. lars instead of $7.50, and ten the still greater re duction of having it for. one dollar, besides an ex tra copy to the -one who with a trifling exertion is fortunate in making up the club.

A RIGH'r fo,IcY.-We notice, by an extract from the Memphis Bulletin, that the military Scom under a7t that post, General TILLSON, has StakeVsummiary act'an in referenice to the 'e groes of that District and court'try. By atn o'rder recegily.issuied he,has. patrols out who compels the negas to fulfill hi contracts. In - this connection the BuJlletin says.: "The freedman, as a class, seem to profer a - life of precarilous "subsistence and idleness in toirn, to good *ages and comiNtable homes jn the courntry. Somogadical change is consequent ly ne.cessary to prevent gregt sfeigand tear ful nmortalfty among th.ese tieople in the coming winter. They cannot, however, be justly blamed. for their ignoranice in not seeing this it is for -their own interest'and the interest of their chil Sdren to ldave the city. ~General Tillson. has de -terminedthathe will compel them-to.4eave the city, even if it reqnires militaFy force, and 'has alread'y conferred with the'assistant Commission Ser of eedmnewof Kentucky and Tennesee, in ~forming them of hig intentih in this-respect. He intends soon to send a.patrol throujih this city rand' suburte, whose duty it shall be to ,make -a thorough tour through . the'city and learn who Hhave proper employmerit and' are able to sup Spqrt thempselves and children, and all who have - -not employment, er any means or prospect of -support, .will be notifie:d that within a certain ttime they must leave the oity and find employ-. [ment ; at the expiration of,which tigte, if theydo -eo omply with thi order, they wfll be arrested, and labor furnished for them by the Bureau, and they will be forwarded under guard to the place assigned -to them. In this connection, we are're . queste(tto sta.te that tWe Government efficials , will in no cas.e furni.h subsistence to any in need, i as they did-.whet the negroes were preventecA i from going 'to the country by the liresence of the - rebel armies back of Memphis ; that now there is -no danger in going to the country ; labor-can be -obtained with else ; none need: want e-one s quently th-e ru!e of work or starve will be rightly enforced". 'Some persons. who have paid negroes I to work for theni bave experienced great.difficul sty.in making them work steadily. Some of them . no sooner geg a few dollats ahead than they think thaele rich, and consequently. -retire with their fo.tunes, leaving the contr ictor, far mer or wh2o'ever it=may be, do the best they can. General Tillson replies to all such complaitbts by. -- saying that no negro will be thus permitted t,o B break his ccntract, but will be arrested and comn I . polled to work- at the pri'c~s and time a~greed * LOCLIAMM COTToN LANKs AND Pziwrrs.-Whiqh are in dispensable to- those purelvasing or shVing cot ton, can be obtained at this ofte. - ThE WEAMER.-Ae long, desult4ry,* dry-, dusty, beated spell has ben buperseded.

If a negro esp quit his ioriiier ~master with fifty cents, and within thiree days buy a pair of five dolkr bcots, certainly he can raise five- dollars or less to paf his tax. This capitation is a just an~d eq*uitable tax, that no one can grumb)le at, I ciue. not what his occupation is. All are on the same footing, as the freedmai said when he. heard Gen. Van.Wyck. Some relief should tie given to thi farmers ; their lanids should not be saeiificed.un der the sheriff's hatnnmer ; it is all that they hare, and4g w' nut pay .their debts. Let them sell portions df it as best ,they.- can and pity towards their debts, aznd p'erhaps. bf'judicious manage ment. tgy will become able-to pay all. :Guar dians are heavy sufferers, a'ad their wards should becomie c"ommnon sniferers with all; no.t b'uild up the wards and sink into beggary and want large families of mnilfor chiildren. There is a meediuim, and it should be established by die ..Gtneral As setnbiy, for all snch eases. 'You, who are4o be our representatives, Alon't, for the sake~ of'your suffering constituents, go to Colu-i.bia and spend your tirne in imbibing, and Ethoking fine cigars.
