Again ivo greet thy beauteous fate, Thou loveliest month of ail the year; All nature joins in jubilee, And earth and skies moro bright appen In wood?aod^bowcr and grussy glade, Fresh strewn with flowrets pure abd sw Bown by the brcok-side in tho mead, A thousand cherished pleasings meet. , I loved them when a little child I seldom left my motbcr!s knee ; I love them cow though cares have left Their impress on my incmary. And when the '.erk her maiinS siug . Until tho primo .of .glorious noon, .When fleecy clouds are batbirg in The radiance of the setting sun There is a charm on every thii g, . The tiniest blade, the loveliest tree ; . Tho lovely flowers, thc fragrant air, The cease!e -s "bumming of tho bee. The choir of silver-thr?&ted birds, In Tino-wreathed bower or mossy dell ; Tho murmuring streams of dewey-skies, All own thy weird,-thy magic spell. Wc would not prise this witching month If pure and I'gt.t wore all yoar; But Winter swar? his sceptre long That Spring-tine bo more soft and fsir. Oh ! may tho clou ls which lower now, To dim tho boauty of our land, Dispel their dark pernicious power, - And every Southern heart expand. Our glorious birth-right-freedom-bring Prosperity to ns once more ; The new-born nation's prowess ring From craggy ht ight to distant shore. England may boast- her proud domain, Oh which tho sun ne'er fails 'to shine ; And Italy her classic shores, And France in splendid case recline. Eut thou, our straggling country, niako ?

' The Central Association has again cora ; menced operations with renewed z?a?, and it ? calls upon ail who atc abie to help in tho ? good work. The loss in Columbia was heavy, f but it does not deter the Association from'at temptiug again to help the soldiers. Thc fall of Richmond, the .great clothing depot of tho army, will necessitate efforts on the part of the people to. clothe the army, or else many a gallant soldier who has borne the brunt of a dozen battles will suffer fur clothing. Let every family in South Carolina give to the Central Association oneshirt, uno pair drawers, and one pair socks, and how many will it clothe ? t venture that if every family in the State who are able wwi do this, every South Carolina brave will be comforta bly clad. Let every lady knit a pair of socks, and every Carolinian will be supplied. i)o yoi? ever think seriously, my lady friends, and you of the sterner sex, too, what the soldier has done sud is doing for you ? Think of Columbia, Orangeburg, Winnsboro' and Cheraw-in fact, the. whole country along Sherman's line cf march-a blackened. wa3te, with only chimneys standing to tell, where were oaca happy.homesteads, and you can form some idea of .whsA the whole country would be if it were no.t for the soldiers-those brave men who ar? baring their bosoms to the fiery st-.-rm. The army must be sustained, or else the whole country will be devastated. Suppose the army is disbanded, what would prevent the eeemy from overrunning the Confederacy ? If th? army is not sustained, the cause is gone, aud all our past sacrifices are vain. Ttie no ble blooQ which has been shed so freely-the lives which have beeu lost-thc treasure which has been spent-all, all are worse than vain. There is DO half way ground for us now; we have gone too far to retreat with honor, and nettling remains but to fight itour to the bitter end. The blood from an hun dred battle fields, the gory corpses of out martyred dead, cry aloud to us, to fight on and not surrender our honor. The question then is, bow can we fight on? Simply 'by feeding and clothing those brave men who are willing to fight. Let thc men feed the soldier, and I guaran tee the ladies will clothe him. How many there arc who can sc-ll the Government a few bushels of corn and a few pounds of bacon, ' and will not miss it, aud how many can give the soldier a suit of clothes and not miss it. Think, then, what a vast supply of food and clothing a little from all will make, and how many brave men who are now fighting -our buttles will bC made comfortable, and., con ic!.I.-d to fight on. It is nov,'a life and death .'sri?g?(c with ns and tko army " must bo sus taiced,?tT we are Ic:;', ruinai, ?ukjug.?led.
