DIXIE.
Created by a nation's glee.
With jest and song and revelry,
We sang it in our early pride
Throughout our Southern borders wide,
While from ten thousand throats rang out
A promise in one glorious shout
"To live or die for Dixie 1"
How well that promise was redeemed
Is witnessed by each field where gleamed
Victorious-like the crest of Mars
The Banner of the Stars and Bars!
The cannons lay our warriors low
We fill the ranks and onward go
"To live or die for Dixie!"
To die for Dixie!-Oh, how blest
Are those who early went to rest,
Nor knew the future's awful store,
But deemed the cause they fought for sure
As heaven itself, and so laid down
The cross of earth for glory's crown,
And nobly died for Dixie.
To live for Dixic--harder part!
To stay the hand-to still tbe heart
To stay the lips-enshroud the past
To have no future-all o'er Cast
To knit life's broken threads again,
And keep her mem'ry pure from stain
This is to live for Dixie.
Beloved Land! beloved song.
Your thrilling power sh:ill last as long
Enshrin'd within each Southern sou!
As Time's eternal ages ro.d;
Made holier by the test of years
Baptized with our country's tears
God and the right for Dixie!
EXtEACT
Fram the advance sheets of "Alexander
H. Stephens, in Public and Private,"
&c., by Henry Cleveland, Esq.
"llis moral courage was as undaunted
as his physicial was unyielding. Ile
came home-went before the people
ucither asking quarters nor giving them.
"It was reported to him, that he had
been proclaimed a traitor to the South.
in a public speech made by one who had
held high position in the State. In a
personal interview with this person, he
inquired whether the charge had been
made as reported ; and though the charge
was denied, and the parties separated in
a friendly manner at the time, yet the
words used by Mr. Stephens on that
occasion led to a subsequent demand
upon him for a retraction. This was
refused, and a r-ncounter ensued. Mr.
Stephens was unarmed, while his assail
ant, who was more than twice his size
and weight, was duly prepared for the
rencounter which he sought. Upon the
refusal to retract the words, an assault
was made upon Mr. Stephens with open
knife. This he for soeie time parried
with an umbrella, l eceiving several
wounds upon his arms and breast ; but
his assailant, rushnig upon him with all
his superior force and weight, threw him
upon his back. One blow with the knife,
aimed at the heart, would have clone its
fatal work, but for the fortunate position
of the blade of the knife. Another blow,
on the other side, passing between two
ribs, severed an intercostalery artery.
The strong man then, with his left hand
on the forehead cof his adversary, and the
knife in his right hand, said, "Now -
retract, or I will your - throat !"
Tbe reply was. "No, never ! Cut !" As
the knife came, Mr. Stephens caught it
in his right land, and with his left seized
the right elbow of him who wielded it.
In this w:y the struggle lasted until both
parties were on their feet again, and oth
ers came to the rescue. The- right hand,
that seized the knife as it was aimed at
the throat, was horribly mangled by the
turning and twisting of the blade in ef
forts to get it out of the grip. The hem
arrhage from the severed artery would
have resulted in speedy death, but for the
fortunate presence of Dr. Hitchcock, of
the United States Army, whose skill ar
rested it.
"The scene occurred in the piazza of
Thompson's hotel in A tlanta, Georgia,
on the 4th of September, 1848. Mr.
Stephens was laid up for several weeks
with these wounds. The right hand was
thought to be permanently disabled. The
tendons of several fingers and the thumb
w-ere severed, lHe could not use the
hand at all for about twelve months. In
the meantime, he accustomed himself to
write with his left. But to the perma
nent injury of the right, his bad chiro
graphy is now p)artly owing."
TuHE TURUiSn EMPRE.-A letter from
Smyrna, states: "The less said about
Crete the better ; the fruits of the revo
lution there will be the massacre of half
the inhabitants, Christian and Mussul
man, and ruin to the island, for a centu
ry to come. Matters look very queer in
all parts cf the Ottoman donminions, and
all I have to say is that the time has not
vet come for the dismemberment of the
'Turkish Empire, as the Turks are still
strong enough to fight, and will die hard.
I wish to goodness my stake in the coun
try was less, and that I could leave it.
T am doing my best to sell off. * **
Our summ~er still lasts, and the country
is suffering from drought.- Thank God,
we have escaped the cholera, yet this
summer there has been a fearful mortali
ty in the town, chiefly among children,
from scarlatina, whooping cough and
diptheria. I believe four thousand to be
a number within the mark. Business
has also been very bad, anti there is quite
a gloom about the place, besides a cer
tain alarm about political affairs.".
Three or four good crops, says the
Richmond Whig, a ill place Southern
agriculture on a stable footing, relieve
indebtedness, and leave our planters
with surplus money for investment. In
times past, the profits of farming were
invested in negroes ar,d land. No one
can now invest in negrors-few desire to
in'creaso their landed estates ; surplus
money will henceforward be employed
in the proce;ses of manufacture. In ten
veers we may expect to have capital,
not borrowed, not begged, not brought~
by immigrants, either Northern or Eu
ropean, but derived from agriculture.
That capital will be employed in estab
lishing manufactures, and as a first step
thereto in procuring skilled labor from
abroad. If we had capital now, we could
command immigrant labor, we could turn
the tide of immigration from the North
and West to the South. We can offer
better land and greaiter advantages than
either of them, and there will one day be
a rush to the South that will exceed any
that has yet been mlade to the West.
TERRIBLE AFFRAr-ALL PARTIES KILLED.
-A terrible affray occurred recently at
Sweetwater, Tennessee. Capt Jackson, of
Marietta, Georgia, while on business in
Sweetwater, was attacked by two men,
named McGanghier. of Athene, Tennessee,
and a third man, name unknown. Pistols
were used by all the men, and Capt. Jack
son was mortally wouded. Before failing,
he succeeded in killing~ one of the McGaing

The History of a Brigade of Carolinians.
This interestiug work. by Lieut. Caldwell,
should be in the hands of every one. It is a
concise and accurate review of a Brigade of
Soldiers. and forms a key to the general history
of the late army under General Robert E. Lee.

The new and superior steamship
Dictator, it ni ill be remembered, makes
regular trips to Palatka and all the land

It were almost needless here to mention
the capacity, excellent accommodations
and trust worthiness of the Dictator,
nor to speak of her able and affable
captain, Louis Y. Coxetter, as the ship
and her commander are well known in
this upper country. For the rates of

Interesting to Subscribers.
The Mani who can make his own fire,
black~ his own boots, carry his own wood,
hoe his own garden, pay his own debts, and
live without n ine arid tobacco, neced ask no
lavor of him who rides in a coach and four.
The exception in this case is the poor
devil of an editor, who may do all these
things and yet have to ask the delinquent
subscriber to settle his dues.
The Chinese punish robbers by putting
the culprits in a large nmortra, and then~
firing them head foremost against a stone
wall.
The ian who refuse~s to pay for his pa
per should be served in the sin;e manner.
He should take warning too from the fol
lowing:
A ghost has appeared to a relict of a late
lamented delinquent subscriber to the Lynch
burg (Va.) News, saying "Jessie, pay my
newspaper accounts and let me rest in
peace."
Newspaper Changes.
The Yorkville Enquirer is enlarged
andi improved. The Greenville Moun
taineer, we regret has dinminished it size,
but not it.s excellence. The Asheville
News is for sale; also the Macon Citizen
and the New South. The Florence
Gazette has changed proprietors. From
the able hands of Mr. Jerome Chase it
has gone to the fostering care of Mr.
Brown. The Orange burg Times we be
lieve has also changed hands-but we have
not seen it since the holidays. The
w~arleston News from a royal quarto
has become an imperial folio. But the
Weekly Record, we are sorry to learn,
has suspended publication. We wish
all of our exchanges less of the cares and
perplexities incident to the labors of the
craft, and a brightening prospect through
out the forth-coming year.
The Home ,Tourual.
We copy with pleasure the following
complimentary notice of this one of our
favorite exchanges:
Trhe Home Journal, published by
N. P. Willis and Morris Phillip.s, has long
been a favorite periodical with the most
cultivated and refined portion of the
public, while its great diversity of in
telligence has rendered it equally popular
and prosperous as a general family news
paper. Notwithstanding the liberal and
successful arrangements entered into by
its publishers heretofore, to render it
deserving the wide approbation accorded
to it. and the continuation of its old
features, more ample measures have been
taken to increase its value for the coming
year. A new American novel by Daisy

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Brig. Gen. S. G.
French, of Miss., a graduate of West
Point, was pardoned to-day. The repeal
of the amnesty section will not affect the
President's clemency programme, the
best legal talent declaring that Constitu
tion gives him power, and that the
section repealed was originally a mere
Congressional flourish.
The vcto message takes strong ground
in making the point that Congress has
no power to force negro suffrage upon
any State, Territory or District.
It is stated that Stevens will introduce,
on Wednesday next, the rosolution in
structing the Judiciary Committee to
prepare a hill declaring the Southern
Districts in a state o scige, and the
suspension of habeas corpus; and for
providing Military G overnments untill
the States are regul:rly admitted. Senate
not in session to-day. In the House,
nothing ;ut speeches. Stevens having
the floor. le was sharply catechised
with regard to the non finalty of the
proposed Amendment. Said he voted
for the admission of Tenne-see, but
would not vote for no other w ithout
negro suffiage.
WSAs1IINGTON, Jan. 5 --In the IIouse,
Mr. Spaulding, of Ohio, took grounds
against the adoption of the Constitutional
Amendment by a two-third vote. Ile
considers its ratification or rejection, by
the Southern States, highly important,
as an indication of a d< si e for admission.
He had made bis canvass on the ad
mission of the Southern Rtep:esentatives
ona the adoptlin of' the Aluwenment, Mr.
Spaulding~ said that he Could not be
driven out of the Repubilean party, but
warned the party that a resort to extreme
measures would produce a re-action of
sen.timent among the loyal mn tit the
South.
Spceches were mnade by Messrs. Ray
mond and Stevens, on Mr. Spaulding's
proposition. Mr. Stevens sairi the doc
trine was mischievious. He did not
recognise the South as States, but con
quered provinces.
He had satid or done noLhing in the
House looking to the impeachment of the
President. He regretted however that
be had been held back so long because
the President was an obstruction to all
loyal a:tion and an e. e sore to all loyal
men except the gen'leman from Ohio,
Mr. Spaudlings.
TtarT Boo-rs.-The Indianapohis Ga
Izette tells the following rich story :
"A few evenings since a youLnig gen
tlemnan of this city, who had been in
dulging in that most expensive of all
luxuries, a pair of' tight boots, called on
a couple of' young lhdies. One of the
hoots pained him so much that he was
compelled, at an early hour, to rise to
retire ; the ladies, not wiThing him to
go so soon, inquired why he was in such
a hurry ?~ A fter hearing the reason,
one of' the ladies told him to take off his
Iboot, which was done, and he remained
Ian hour or two longer. When it was
time for him to say good-night, he arcse
and looked ar-ound for his boot, but it
was nowhere to be found. After making
1a great searcq, it was dliscovered that
one of the ladies, in a play ful mood, had
inserted her font into the boot, and was
unable to get it off. The other lady
1volunteered to assist her, but her efforts~
were equally uinsucces.sful, and the nip
shot of' the matter was, that the young
man had to walk home (a mile or more)
with but one boot.
TYPOGRAPICAL SoCIETY.-The anniversa
ry of this Society, says the Charleston News
of' the 3d, was duly celebrated at their hall
on Tuesday afternoon. A fine collation ha~d
been pr->vi ded through the generosity of
Mr. J. H. Voller-, which the typos soon
knocked into "pi.' After the regular b-esi
ness of the day was over and the collation
duly disp'sed of, they procedod to an elee
tion of officers for the ensuing yea r, which
resulted in the following choice:
L. P. Ashuby, President.
C. A. D. Church, Vice President.
T. F. O'>Sullivan, Treasurer.
S. D. Hlutsor,, S.'cretarv.
Fmnance Commiitee-M. Tracy, Jos. W.
Rutland, and( John Utes.
Commiritee on Relief-T. F.O'Sullivan,
O'Reilly, T. F". O'Sullivan, and .John Utes.
The Boys of Richmond are a fast set. On
Christmas Eve, a crowd of them were en
gaged in firing crackers near thre City Hall,
w lien the Mayor w ent out to remonstrate
with them. While those in front were lis
tening to his rermarks, two ere'pt up in the
rear, atnd attached two packs to his coat
tails and set fire to themr. This '"fire in the
rear" diverted the attention of his Hlonor
f-rm the enemies in front, who made their
escape nnder cover of the smoke of bat t!e.
After p@ormning several feats of agility-,
his Ilor.or concluded to return in-doors, and
let the bovs alone.
A Roman paper says of thre F"rench Empe
ror, in its issue of November 27 : N
poleon the Third hats fallen back: he is lost.
He has retreated fronm Poland from fear of:
Russia ; lhe has retreated from Cermuany
fromt fear of the needle-gun ; he has retrea
ted from Mexico from fear of the United
States ; he has retreated from Rome fronm
fear of Orisina and Mazzini."

So says the oldest inhabitant, (and he lives

SAD ACCIDENT.-We regret to learn that
Mr. Wm. Zobel, of Helena, had one of his
feet crushed beneath a car wheel, last week.
It is feared that amputation of the leg will
be necessary.
INTERNAL REVENUE -Parties interested,

grounds, and fill up your orchards with
choice fruits, call upon, or seni to him, and
now is the tirne.
DR. ERANTLY'8 FArtWEJL ADDRESS
Was delivere.l last Sunday to a large and
appreciative congregation, composed of his
friends and admirers from all classes and I
persuasions. The diacourse was a forcible
and happy one,and will be long remembered.
Dr. Brantly is a scholar of superior attain
ments, an able minister and most courteous
gentleman, such an one as would prove an
ornament to any community. We wish
him, in his new home, all that prosperity he
so eminently deserves.
THE NEW DRUG STORE.-Drugs and
Medicines are nauseous things; few people
like to buy or take them, first because prices
heretofore lihe been so very high, and sec
ond because they are so unpalatable. In
some measure this is remedied by our young
Druggist Dr. Pope, who to make them as
little objectionable as possible has reduced
the prices of his goods. In proof of which
see an advertised schedule of Standard ar
ticles, and for further proof call on him.
None but a madman will refuse to doctor
himself, when it can be done so cheaply.
SnUT THE DooR---Our door, and every
b>dy else's door. The man who leaves
your door open on a cold, freezing day,
must live in a doorless house, or have a
snory chimney and a scolding wife ; and
vet that is ro excuse for him to inflict
such a punishment on his more fortunate
neighbor. Shut the door! Since the first
of January we have kept a diiary, and
find tha t our door has been left open nio
less than six hundred and fifty-three
timnos, by this careless class of individuals.
Of this number, two hundred and one left
it open on entering, and two hundred
and twenty-six both on entering and
leaving. The most melancholy feature
in this; relation is that only ten of the
whole number paid up their subscriptions.
S.ALE-DAY.-Beautiful over head, sun
shine and >>lue sky ; under foot mud,
slosh and snow, intermediate, variety of
folks, crowding the streets, blocking side
walks, making glad the hearts of mer
chan-ts, with the prospect of big sales.
Freedmen in endless number and con
fusion hunting homes, odd jobs and
ginger cake. Sale day is an institution,
and a 'pritty good one to some ; we like
it sometJimes on the whole, that is when
we have a fe-.v wholesome visitors, who
are nft educated in a poor school, that is
not troubled with poor ways. Sales at
auction, lively and much property dis
p-sed of. Hlerajd's transactions middling
to fair and tendency upward.
PEcs vs TYPE-In Confederick times,
the building we now oc::npy as an office
was used as a cobbler's shop, by various
co',red gentlemen, long since departed
to places unknown, or to whe-re good
darkies go, or sonme where else, but it is
not used for such ignoble purposes now,
we do not patch old soles, or fix up
understandinigs, we don't deal in leather,
either upper or lower, and the place
which on1ce knew these respectable dlar
kies, now knows them no more forever.
They are gone, glimnmermig perhaps, butt
gone so far as our l;urpcses are concerned,
and will not return this year any how.
Every once in a while, and occasionally
oftener, we are visited by some brother
or sister of these dleparted colmied sons
of Crispin, and asked if one of them is in,
or if we have any shoe pegs or sole leath
er to sell. It is enough to make a cross
eyed man look double, or mistake some
one else's wife for his own, or spank an
other mani's children. Its not a shoe
shop, we atre not cobblers, don,t deal in
leather, pegs, brads, awls, or have we
any knowledge where Simon, Peter.
Moses, Lawrence or Nicodemus are at
present. D)ear colored breethreni this is
not a shoe shop, do you hear.
Ter.strs.-Another mess has been
kindly deposited on the editotial floor,
but the (donor says if we give his name
he will be angry and discontinue his
favors. We would not hurt his feclings
for twice the nuniber of turnips, and
therefore withldlOf his name, buit this
much will say tha:t he is the same in
dividual n ho sometime ago we alluded to
as putting up his cotton in such neat
and compact style. lie is a right good
fellow altogether, and whatever he does
is well done, there is no denying that.
AND ANOTHE-Fromn our good Frog
Level friend, and with the same restric
tion. These gentlemen are too modest
by half, to hide one's light under a
bushel in these times wvon't do.
And something else promised, which
will be along next week. We won't
receive it, however, unless we are al
lowed the privilege of giving the name
of donor.

OBITUARY.
Divi, at the iesidence of her grand-father
Derrick's, o: the 14th of December, 1866,
Little BELL SII:AL., eldest daughter of
Sarah A. Shealy. e11r age was eight y-ears
and two months Hler disease was complica
ted. U1cr illness condtued a month or
m'ore, and thten she expired. She feels these
excruciating painis no0 more, they are gone
andu she is in a state of tranquilhty, with her
blessed sav'ior in hieaven where there is
nothing to nmolest her. Her undoubted in
tegrity and generosity will never slip the
memory of one who is trying to promulgate
her reputation to the public. Little Bell waIs
one of my students for twelve mnoths or
more, sh;e was not an impel ions or re
pugnanlt girl, but implicitly obey-ed the
mandates of her preceptor. With her
amtiableness and explicit kindness she
gained the good w 11 of all her fellow
students and teacher. She advanced rapid
lv in literature, and few if any exedled
little Bell for the timeatschool. Oh that this
may indelibly impress upon the minds of
her play-:ntaies the absoluteness of death.
Alas! ab:is! that amiable face they can see
no tuore, her soul is gone to that world of
spirits, while her body lies in the col, cold
graie. Little Bell left a mno:h -r, t rothet
and sister, antd manifold relations and ac
quaintances to mourn her departure, but
this departure is but momentary, though
she can't comte to them they tmay go to her.
Little Bell was a girn who combined tunti
ring energy and tenderness of sensibiliry
and extraordinary propensity to wit. She
was a devout little girl adtmired her books,
and augmented with great facility.
She was not a romantic girl, but had the
stability and solenmnity almost of woman
grown. It is useless for mte to try to eluci
date lhen reputation. 11er assiduous study
and demeanor (though a youth) would have
sotme day been the instrumentalities of her
being admitted among the wise aund the vir
tuous, if it had pleased God, the supreme
being to hav-e let her remain in her pro
batiornary state till a woman grown. SI:e
wottld h ive been an ornament to her Moth -
er, Brother and Sister, Kindred, and all
that knew her.
But God hais better use for her and now she
rests in heavetn abov-e, where ther-e is noth
itg to molest her or make her afrai I. You
would have loved little Bell if you hand
knowni her I am sure, she was such a swe(t
little thing, that I believe I speak the truth
in saying that every body loved her who
had the pleasure of looking into her bright
and atniable face. But she is gone to her
long and eternal abode in heav-en, where
she can say this is tmy home forever, here
will I dwell. Her people every where may
mourn her remov-ah but may rejoice in the
comuinued life of her itnfiniite Master. Pa
rents train your children to iovec and ser'c
God, it is not a work of supererogation but
will prove a benediction to you and then.
Whereas Christ saith plainly when ye have
done all that is commtanded you, say we
are unprofitable servants If you have done
this then it would be a work of supereroga
tion. Her little speech every Friday even
ing that she usedI to repeat with great firm
ness, was that beautiful hymn,
I want to be an angel,
And with the angels stand.
She has got her reward!
