This is not the question, however, only so far to show that the stomich being fortified, we are more determined, more strengthened In our pur pose to cry aloud and spare not-on beef. An anecdote is told of a negro who had po" tatna for sate, and who shouted his roots so load, that an old lady of same color, called out to him as he passed with his "taters:" Say, Mr. Baxter, you needn't holler so loud, everybody knows you has taters" "Do dey," said Mr B., stopping for one moment his battle cry, "do der? tank de lord,tben,dat's what I's crying for, TATss!" The rel;ef-seatonable though it *as-af forded by those two pieces ab:ve mentioned, can't stop the cry-we want beef, and not spasao'llcally, but regularly. If the men now engaged In furnishing it, or who blew such promising notes some months since, cannot face their [own music, let them retire either finally. or into a see. ondary position. Seriously, shall a town of the size, population and importance of Newberry, go to dinner for weeks and months, without beef? We hope not again H r sisters of Columbia, Charleston and' Augusta must be positively shocked to hear that the first piece of fresh beef brought here in two months or more, was a 25 or 30 lb to the quarter blae-beUled calf!

To obviate this, letIas start a body corpoate and politic, with a president of aldermanaic stomach and small capital, who loveth the Seshepots,-and inus: either work or starve.
