Fox replies : 1 thank you, Mr. Satnho A bralliam, for the very kind and hospitable reception extended me, and will avail myself of cultivating an acquaintance with you. Imping the same way prove mutually benetf ciaTto us; and would, in the first place, inform you on the subject of mv mission hereto niirlit which is to render you a vote of thank* in the name of the Fox family, tor the very great favor obtained through voo, by the immense ?ter you mado on Cane I?* land^ a few nights since, of the buz zard tribe, that liuve so long inhabited that nlacc ; givirg me and my race such a rich repast and feast on buzzard flesh as never lie fore enjoyed by us, lasting for many days, and indeed fragments enough left tor the younger members of our family to do them many more. I waa, with many others of ray family and friends, General Sam l)o Abraham, on the Island on that long to-be remembered and eventful night, feasting on buzzard emr*. (this now Ireing ejp season) and such a terrific battle as fought by you, and your army cor|>s, I have never belo o witnessed, though 1 have been on and near many fields during the late so called rebellion in this country;the dange<, indeed, becoming so great, in the rage of battle, that we were compelled to take refuge in tire hollow trees and holes on the Island for protection and safety ; and on the next day, it was dreadful to behold the carnage, I resulting in such victory to your units, nil hough gratifying and well pleasing to us. You did your work inost thoroughly and effectively. General ; your men Itchaving and acquitting themselves must handsomely and gallantly.

I am very happy indeed, General, to find you to much attached to your household friend, but mutt confute my h?ve and af feet it m bee never run out much to warde any tbinjg of the dug kind. I though my prejudices have never gone out to far against the eur breed, at whieh I perceive your friend it a member, ae to others of the dog variety ; for example, the bound, the tuoaneet ipd lowest of I lie whole species, has ever been (lie moat Inveterate enemy to my race, and ever since tbe creation, lies been used as an instrument against us, by a class of the white race of man atyled gentlemen of leisure* having nothing to do but play cards, drink whisky, and ' chase us innocents to death, and as they say and style It, " the sport I ot the field," as if we were not created for a nobler and higher purpose and deserving a hotter destiny than In tin tlma _ r .? ?rV ?nio\i mid shorn of tlio full privilege of 1 enjoying caith's pleasures, as they themselves do or desire to do.? Perhaps, General, vou may not know the full history of the dog as 1 have it by tradition, through my race, from the earliest history of the world, and as we aro making up a very friendly and agree able acqniantance, if agreeable, I will give it to y<>n, though it is a story I seldom tell, having, as I do, the prejudices against that race that I cannot ever overcame. Simbo?Do, Mr. Fox tell me all you knows about it; you is de best company dat 1 has ehcr had. though 1 used to think de leaguers when freedom first come hi was de best ; but I now sees dat they knowed nothing but lies, and detn b do biggest sort ; do go on, Mr. Fox. wid de dog tail. W?11 f)otioi-ol ! ?? l? vw ?? WUVIMIf J WH Otu III history anno inundi. or year of the world nit?ey which, >011 perceive, was only nlno years after the creation, tho dogs come to ihe conclusion that they were entitled as much to all the higher privileges ot earth, as well as any and all other higher grades of brains and intelligence; that they could roam the forest, enter sheep folds, steal, kill, and appropriate to their own use any ano every tiling they saw proper, and be )>eui jnstiua'ule and blameless in all they did or attempted to do. This cottrso of conduct led them into tnany ditti cn I ties, which caused many of thein to be slain, tortured and otherwise punished. They considered themselves?grcatly persecuted, and resolved on holding a convention to consider their grievances which they did, and concluded, in aid august body, as this globe with its inhabitants was not suited to their veiws, tastes, habits and ways of life as desired by them, that they would seek another coun try, and hence that of the moon was determined on, and to accom plish this wished-for end and pur pos, they delegated one of the'r tril>e to visit and explored that ro gi<>n. At the Appointed time and place, the) assembled and went through the oideal of preparing their ambassador for the mission, by anointing him with the most costly and precious ointment, for the purpose, ns they said, ot recognizing him through all time, upon his return to this g!ob</. From that eventful day to this, there has been no tidings in dog history ot his return ; hence, we almost daily witness on the meeting ot two of this race, that are strangers toeneh other, that they will iuvaria blv commence smelling each othor, beginning at the noro and pro uressing to the tail, and failing to recognize iu each other the long ubsent anointed, they hoist their tails, heads, and bristles, maddened at the disappointment, and make for tight. And tot II you, Qener al, my holiest sentiments, my race Would have rejoiced at tho success of the expedition, fur wo could ihou have boon free from their per seditions, nnd oppressions, nnd been in possession of freedom as you and your race are now. This earth, General, was made tor us all to enjoy, and all conld live in f>eace and harmony, if all would do rights even not exoltiding tho rattle snake, and with him my race havo long since established the most peaceful relations, that has been most faithfully observed and carried out to the letter, lint as for the dog race, I see no hope; there is a gulf between us that time and tide can never close. Tliia being the case, I a in moved to propose a treaty of amity between you and yours and me and 'my race, so that we may be of mutual bene tit to each other, so long as earth holds and claims us as its own living beings. I wish you to hold eouueil, General, with your confi dential friends, and, without any sort of reserve, reveal the whole plan, wLich \ am quit? sure they will gladly and willingly accept; which is this; As J end my race are fleet ut foot, not equalled, lastly race on earth, only requiring inere minutes to accomplish distant ends, we can, by this alliance, always report to you, most accurately, the minute detail of the location and whereabouts where may be found the beet km root t% i Johis, hog toalks, duoio and goo? yards, no that immente labor and two?t may bt Mv?d by yon And tnnri, In walking your night rambles in quest of ruch ueces<a rite that yon are thus in the habit, as well as me and mine do, to pro cure supplies. This arrangement will euuble you to sleep much more at nights, and give you m?>re time in day time tonitend toother duties; you can, by doing this, onl y to step out daily to your coops and pens, and always have your flesh ready tor the pot, besides es coping detection, in your nightly rambles, by klu kluxes, and again searching for fruits not knowing where to irnlhor. I havn hn?n .. little tedious. General, but what think you of the plan, taking of course into consideration that we are to forever he fast and confiding friends, and on your part, never own, raise or encourage to be raised, anything of the hound variety of dogs. Samho? Mr. Fox, you out talks anything I has eber met, and when it comes to smart, it looks like vou had all of it; Scott, Grant, de Leg islater, Leagues, nor nothing el*e, can come up to yon, Mr. Fox, and you tells me de best news for free dom yet, that I tins eber henrn. I will call in my best friends, and go into de agreement von Riwalca on at once, and let de legislator folks, leagues, and all sich. go to grass, and live on dry air afore 1 lias any tiling moro to do wid ein. Yes, Mr. Fox, you can, as you has said, save freedom a powerful chance of rnnuiti about of nights to Hud and get sich things as da wants and must have / and, furder dan dat, not be found out when wo takes de hen off Me roost or de hog out of de pen, as you can always tells us whar they is, so we can get em widout any fuss. 1 has nebei afore hearn dat dog tail, you spe iks of, but it look* mighty true as d?. "'ways smells when they meets; dat was one ob de sign6 in dc Leagues. When I fir6t jined, we all had to smell one another, and 1 declares de white folks dat jined, 6ineled a heap worse dan de nigger, and artor de first incetin, 1 always took whisky and cam tiro wid tue to keep do possum down dat 1 had eat atore leaving home. 1 reckons dat sign must have been took from dogs. You is now, Mr. Fox, pretty well rested ; wont you take some fresh goose aforo you goes? I hud just cleaned him utoro you emtio in. I walked out to night and sorter found him. 1 likes y< u so much, and you will be sich a help to freedom, I cant let you go walnut your eating 6omc thing. ' Old Butler shall never hurt you nor your folks ; he is no Carpet- Bagger or Sculawag, and will always do jist as I tells him. Come, Mr. Fox, take a bite. Fox?Thank you General, I ain not ntull hungry, but, fur manners sake, will divide the goose with yon, and not take all a* your friends and representatives do. After meal, the interview close . Fox, in his ramble homewards, soliloquizes to himself in an under tono: " The nigger is a nigger still; freedom can never make him otherwise. Give him the school, the college, legislature, Congress, the ptilpir, the iornm lie is a nigger and will so continue to the end. lie will believe anythin<j% he will do anything, when there is hope or promise of rewardy no matter by what means. This being so, I had just ns well use him as any one else ; there is no use for me to steal when I can make hiin do it for tne ; it will be much to my convenience to use his coops and pens than to prowl myself. Though nothing but a fox 1 leave the moral with those whu should profit hv it." " RAMBLER. i - Dkatu or Mrs. Eliza Bacon.? This venerable and beloved lady ?ono of the most widely known women in South Carolina?who, from her early womanhood, has heen so prominent in the social life and history of Edgefield, departed this life, at hor old home tn our midst, on Friday night last, at the unusually advanced age of ill years. She was the widow of the late Edmund Bacon, Esq., and had survived her husband ? and most of the friends of her youth ?forty six years. Mrs. Bacon was a woman of uncommon vigor of mind pud body, and of remarkable strength and honesty of charactor. And in her death, it would seein, liter* ally, that a part of Edgefield is gone.

The following pretty fable, clipped from iho Southern Press, is well worth perusal : I went out one morning em ir to see tire dew drops : there was one on every blade in the grass-plat, i I have seen jewels sparkling in the ring on the lady's finger, and flittering in the jeweler's shop. mil i navo never seen a com so pure and bright as the jewels worn by the grass blades. I ! stooped down and looked at them, and llio grass said, " Are you come out to see me ?'' " No, to see the dew dro|>s." A little sparkling drop shook himself up, * What," said he, M What was that ?" '' Come out to see yon beautiful dew drops,*' I said. " What for?" u I love to see the calm, blue lieavou reflected in your l??6om." " That is because I am pure," said the dew-drop; "heaven is always reflected in a pnro l?csom. You cannot seo heaven in the bosom of muddy water, nor in the heart of a wicked child. Tell the children who love Jesus to bo pure, even as '>e is pure." i picaed up ilie blade of grass to look clo.-er at liiiri. Just then the sun began to rise, and the dew-drop changed from blueheaven color to a glowing sunlight. It shone like a little sun as I held it, and looked lovelier than ever. 44 Buautiful r The little drop 6iniled. 44 The day is breaking and the good sun I is changing tno into the likeness of himselt. Tell your little Christians, when Jesus shall appear they shall be like him. But the day is breaking?the sun is drawing me?Tin going, going?." 'Don't go yet," I said, 44 stay and talk to nie." 44 lie is set.ding down his long -unhcatnflnge: s. I feel them drawing me. I'm going." 44 Stay, little dew-drop," I said, 44 stay and talk with me all day long." 44 Only in the night I live on earth, and when day breaks I flee away to heaven on the beauts of light. Christians ate the dewdrops of Jesus. Tliov, too, stay on the earth while night lasts, and when heaven's day breaks, and the shadows flee awav, Jesus will draw up his dew-drops to himself. I n..* ? - urn i cannot stay?the sunbeams j are drawing me. I feel thoir lov- j ing kisses. Tin going tip to the glorious sun. I'm going." It grew brighter and heavenlier, and smaller. I looked, and looked, till 1 looked in vain : there wui rtljr tl?o hladn of grass, the dew drop was gone. I Thk daughters of a Southern jtlauter are now slaves in Brazil. They emigrated thither at the close of the war, and was unsecoessful.

I Do you think that a boy so cruel became a kind, loving man ? I Not he. As he grow older he ! exhibited the eaiuo cruel disposi( tion toward men. At last he was made emporor of Home, and then his cruelty advanced a fearful rate. This man was the bloody Nero, who killed his own wife, and ordered his mother to be assassinated. Nor was this all. lie delighted so mnch in cruel things that lie ordered the city to be set. on fii e. just to see how it would look ; and when it was burning, he seated himself upon a high tower, and sang and played upon his lyre. Was this strange? Is not a cruel boy likely to become a J cruel man I Killing men in tnan-> hood in only a further develop, merit of killing flics in childhood. An aged sen captain, who spoilt a long life upon tlio ocean, said to a lady, 4- On ship board I can tell in a very short time what any sailor was in his boyhood."

In place thereof, have good well-water - pumped for tlieni.
