Humorous Department. "Consider me Smith."?A good story is told of Dr. Caldwell, formerly of the University of North Carolina: The doctor was a small man and lean, but as hard and angular as the most irregular of pine knots. He looked as though he might be tough, but he did not seem strong. Nevertheless he was among the knowing ones reputed to be agile as a cat, and in addition, was by no means deficient in a knowledge of the "manly art." Well, in the freshman class of a certain year, was a burly beef mountaineer of eighteen or nineteen. This genius conceived a great contempt for old Bolus's physical dimensions, and his soul was horrified that one so deficient in muscle should be so potential in his rule. Poor Jones?this is what we'll call him? had 110 idea of moral force. At any rate, he was not inclined to knock under and be controlled, despotically, by a man he imagined he could tie or whip. At length he determined to give the old gentleman a geuteel, private thrashing some night, in the college campus, pretending to mistake him for some fellow-student. Shortly after, on a dark and rainy night, Jones met the doctor crossing the campus. Walking up to him, he said abruptly? "Hello, Smith ? yon rascal?is this you ?" And with that he struck the old gentleman a blow on the side of the face that nearly felled him. Old Bolus said-nothing, but squared himself and at it they went. Jones's youth, weight and muscle made him an "ugly customer," but after a round or two the aoctor's science began to tell, and in a short time he had knocked his antagonist down, and was astraddle of his chest, with one hand on his throat and the otherdealing him vigorous cuffs on the side of the head. " Ah ! stop ! I beg pardon, doctor. Doctor Caldwell?a mistake?for heaven's sake, doctor!" he groaned. "I thought it was Smith!" The doctor replied, with a word and a blow alternately: "It makes no difference; for all present purposes, consider me Smith." And it is said that old Bolus gave Jones 1 1* - iV-i t J i.1 sucn a pounuing mat ne never maue uuuiuer mistake as to personal identity. A Danbury Funeral.?The Danbury JYeios says: The day Mr. Ruby, across the way, was to be buried, Mrs. Moriaty told her daughter Clarinda that she guessed she would attend, as she wasn't feeling very well, and a ride would do her good. She knew there would be several covered carriages furnished at the expense of the family, and she was equally confident it could be so managed that she would occupy a portion of one of them. She was among the first at the house, and occupied a prominent position. As the other friends arrived, she took occasion to recall reminiscences of the late Ruby that brought tears to their eyes, and when the services were over, as the first coach drove up for its load, the distress of Mrs. Moriaty at the death of Mr. Ruby was so marked as to excite the liveliest sympathy. Then the second coach came up. Mrs. Moriaty had got down to the gate by this time, and as the door of the second coach was opened and a call made for the occupants, it seemed extremely doubtful if she could hold up another instant. She leaned against the post, and stared into the coach, and over the rich upholstering, and said the late Ruby seemed more like a son to her than a neighbor. Whereupon the usher looked appropriately sad, and called the third and last coach. This had yellow cushions and pink straps, and Mrs. Moriaty didn't hesitate to protest that in the death of AX* PuKir + V* rt nnmmnnlfu VtO/4 mof Q lftCQ if A'AU at U uj VUtUUlUlUbJ 11uu uivv m *vww . v was not possible to recover from, and that she would follow him to his last resting place if she had to do it on her knees, and would feel grateful for the opportunity. Then the third and last coach filled and drove off to take its place in the line, and Mrs. Moriaty dried her tears, choked back the sorrow of her heart with one mighty gulp, and strode into her own house, shutting the front door without the aid of the knob. She told Clarinda that it was the scaliest affair that she ever went to, and had it not beeu for the body, there would have been no funeral at all. teif A rural couple come to town last week to see the wonders of Wood's Museum, and stopping square in front of the structure, they gazed intently at its dazzling frontage. At lafet the young man, overcome by feelings, tightened his arms around his companion's waist and said : "I'll bet I know what you are thinking of, Salina." "I'll bet you don't," said Saliua. "You was thinking that you wished me and you was married and living in snch a house as that?come now, wasn't you, Salina?" "No, you fool, I was thinking whether I fed them hogs their swill this morning before we started?for if I didn't father'll skin me alive when I get home." StaT* A very Daniel of a judge lives in Memphis. He came to Judgment, the other day, in a case about a goose. This graceful fowl fell into the river, and it was rescued by a man and brother, who claimed salvage from its owner, an Italian. The latter wouldn't j pay it, and produced a persuasive pistol, j whereupon the colored person marched off with the goose and got a warrant for assault.1 Then did the goose's owner swear out an answering warrant for the goose. The judge perplexed, fined both of them and kept the goose himself. A recently married man coming home rather late the other night took an umbrella from the rack in the hall and proceeded to his room. The grieved and indignant wife opened her eyes and seeiug her husband supporting himself by the foot-board with, one baud and holding an umbrella spread over his head with the other, cried in astonishment: "What are you doing? Are you crazy?" "No," said he, in an unsteady vioce, "but? hie?I supposed there'd be a storm?hie?and so I've come prepared for it." "What are you bellowing about?" cried an irate mother at the foot of the stairs one evening, after her two boys had been put to bed. "Please, mother," said bellowing Bill, "Jim wants half the bed." "Well," says she, "let him have it, and you take the other half." "Yes, mother," said Bill, "but he wants to have his half out of the middle, and make me sleep on both sides of him." +. * ttey* "Why don't you wash the bottom of your feet, Joe ?" asked a grandmother of a boy when he was performing the operation of washing his feet before retiring for the night; to which he gravely replied: "Why, granny, you dont think I'm going to stand up in bed, do you." SSf A women fell overboard in Boston harbor the other day, and the very last thing she did before she went under the nrst time, was to raise her arms wildly above the flood, and ?adjust her back hair. Little three-year-old Mary was playing very roughly with the kitten, was carrying it by the tail. Her mother told her that she would hurt pussy. "Why no I won't," said she, "I'm carrying it by the handle." Settler for Father.?"Leramy, you're a pig," said a father to his little four-year-old boy. "Now, do you know what a pig is, Lemmy?" "Yes, sir; a pig is a hog's little boy." An old lady hearing somebody say that the mails were very irregular, said : "It was fust so in my young days?no trusting on 9> era. "I hate to hear people talking behind one's back," as the robber said when the constable was chasing him and crying "Stop thief." (Sfortdrcn'* Department. [Original.] AUSTRALIA. The largest Island in the world is called Australia. It lies on the opposite side of the earth from us. If we would dig a hole dowr through the earth we would strike the othei side not far from the Island of Australia This Island contains about three millions o: square miles, hence, it is nearly as extensive as the whole of the United States. It if about twenty-four hundred miles long, and nearly two thousand wide. Everything ir Australia seems to be strange. The trees it is said, shed their bark and not their leaves The seeds of cherries grow on the outside oi the fruit and not in the inside as they do with us. There are no beasts of prey in Australia except an animal called dingo. This is n wild dog that infests the couutry. There is an animal called the duck-bill, which is a very wonderful creature. It is about a foot long, and has a body which resembles that ol an otter, but it has the bill of a duck, hence, it is called the duck-bill. Its fore feet are webbed, but its hind feet have spurs, from which a poisonous liquid secretes. It always constructs its nest near some water course, and the nest, or den, has two openings, one leading into the water and the other into the land. The strangest thing about this little animal is that it lays eggs. The whole ol Australia belongs to Great Britaiu. w t Original.] INSTINCT. The lower order of animals are endowed with something that fits them for the position which they occupy in creation. This is called instinct. It is not, strictly speaking, knowledge, and yet it resembles knowledge; neither io it tVio nnroer tr? reasnn. still it. enables the lower order of animals soraetims to act as ii they possessed reason. It is a kind of impulse. The animal has no more control over it than it has over the color of its hair or the shape of its body. It is not a principle which can be developed, for the first bird's nesf%as just as perfect and complete as the last one that was built. It is not the power or capability to imitate, for although the bird always builds a nest like the one in which it was hatched, it makes no improvements upon it, no matter how many other nests it may have seen. By instinct many of the lower order of creatures are able to do things that bid defiance to the skill of man. The most skillful artist is not able to construct the comb in which the bee deposits its honey. The whole is so constructed that the least possible amount of material is made to sustain the greatest possible amount of weight. The nest of a wasp is a most ingeniously constructed thing. Nothing but a wasp could make such a thing. Led and guided by instinct, insects, such as the bee, wander a long distance from their home; but they are always able to find their way back. How they are enabled to do this is a mystery. The bee has no path through the air to guide it in departing and returning to and from home, still with unerring certainty it goe3 and comes. In their undomesticated state, almost all the animals lay up in summer a supply of food for winter. The squirrel carries acorns aud hickory nuts into hollow trees just as men place their corn in cribs. Man is not governed by in stinct. He learns from experience. The beasts have no experience. They do not need it. The young beaver can construct its dam as well as the oldest. KARL'S LETTER TO JESUS. Before little Karl's father died, he was often told that when he got a little bigger, he would be sent to a Moravian school. But after his father's death, his mother was left very poor, and found it very difficult to get food and clothing for little Karl. What was the boy to do? Reading in the Bible the many stories how Christ helped the poor, how he opened the eyes of the blind, and made the deaf to hear, and the lame to walk; how he fed the hungry multitudes with bread and fish; yes, and even made the fish in the sea to bring up money when it was needed. "Ah !" said poor Karl, "he is the one to help me. If I could only get to him !" He studied long and hard for a plan. At last he said, "I know what I will do, I will write him a letter." This he did in the German language, and nearly in the following words: "My Dear Saviour Jesus Christ: I have lost my father. We are very poor, but Thou hast said, in Thy Word, that all we ask for in thy name, God will do it for us. I believe what Thou hast said, Lord Jesus. I pray Thee, then, 0, my God, in the name of Jesus, to give my mother the money to send me to the good Moravian school, where the boys get to be wise and good. Then I can serve thee and help my mother. Good-bye." The letter was then folded and addressed: "To our Lord Jesus Christ in heaven." Away he ran with it to the postoffice, aud dropped it in the letter-box with a hopeful heart." After a while, the postmaster was sorting his letters, when he came to this one: "To our Lord Jesus Christ in heaven." But how was he to send it ? That place was not on the mail route. No railroad car or steamboat goes to that place. "Oh, I guess some crazy person has written it." And so he threw it aside. After the day's work was over, he took up the letter and opened it. His heart was touched by it, and so he gave it to a Moravian friend, who read it aloud at church. A rich lady listened to its touching appeal, and sent an answer to Karl, saying that she answered it for the Lord Jesus, and would send him to that school. Oh! how glad little Karl was for this kind answer to his letter. Now, dear children, you and I know of a quicker and better way to make our wants and wishes known to the Lord than by a slow mail train. A simple look of faith will do. Christ says, "When thou prayest, enter into thy closet; and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and and thy Father which seeth in secret will reward thee openly." The Difference.?"Willie, why were you gone so long for the water ?" asked the teachJ er of a little boy. "We spilled it, and had to go back and fill j the bucket again," was the prompt reply ; but the bright, noble face was a shade less bright, !i li- i.1 1 1 il.? ???? ,1 less uouie iuau usuai, uwu two cjoo uiuj^tu beneath the teacher's gaze. The teacher crossed the room and stood by another, who had been Willie's companion. "Freddy, were you not gone for the water longer than was necessary ?' ' For an instant Freddy's eyes were fixed on the floor, and his face wore a troubled look. But it was only for a moment?he looked | frankly up to his teacher's face: "Yes, ma'am," he bravely answered ; "wt 1 met little Harry Baden and stopped to play ' with him, and then we spilled the water and had to go back." j Little friends, what was the difference it the answers of the two boys ?

CONDUCTED BY REV. ROBERT LATHAN. [Original.] J SIN-ITS RESULTS. 1 There are some things that are seldom re- i garded as they should be. We are prpne to < think and act as if we can escape from all the 1 ^ consequences of sin by repenting. It is true , 5 that God proposes in the gospel to pardon all 5 our sins so soon as we repent and accept Je- , ' sus Christ as our Redeemer; but there are ] 1 some of the effects of sin from which we never < > are freed so long as we live in this world. .Jl-i i: ? L _* ?.... .*n a I i we may mutnaie u jimu ui uui uuuj m ? ^ desperate manner, and in the course of time ] 1 the wound will heal up; but a scar will re main which will mark the character of the ( k hurt. So it is with sin. It is a disease. A i 1 moral wound inflicted upon the soul, and al- . ' though it may be pardoned through the 1 ; blood of Jesus, the scar remains. Who can j suppose that David was not morally scarred ? 1 by the affair with Uriah's wife ? No doubt , 1 a feeling of shame and confusion haunted ] him all the days of his life afterwards. Hence I ! he prays in the 25th Psalm : i i "My sins and faults of youth, 1 , Do thou O, Lord, forget." 1 , God no doubt did forget his sins, but David < , could not forget them, and the recollection of J them marred all his enjoyment. His piety 1 was no doubt greatly increased ; but still the ! memory of that awful transaction could not j be blotted out. Sin, even when pardoned, is ] attended with heart rending sighs and bitter 1 griefs. Whilst memory lasts sin clothes us ? with shame. This world never can be a hap- ' py world. No circumstance can make any j of our race perfectly happy in this world. The recollection of the past fills our minds ? . with sorrow. It may be godly sorrow, but I still it is not pleasaut. All those who escape I from the ruins of the fall pass through great 1 tribulation. j [Original.] | TROUBLES. | mi Ai__ .u 1 J. lie popu 1UIIU11 Ui M1B CUI blt la uuuiucicu I by hundreds of millions. Great is the diver- 1 sity of circumstances under which the different individuals composing this number are situated. Some are rich and some are poor ; some are wise and some are foolish ; some are loved and respected, and others are hated and , despised; some rule and others are ruled. In most respects no two are exactly alike in appearance, nor similarly situated. There is one partiular, however, in which all are alike. All are surrounded and beset on all sides by troubles. The troubles are not alike, but all have their troubles. No one of all Adam's posterity is exempt. "Man that is born of woman is of few days," and those days are absolutely full of trouble. j The cause of trouble is sin. Before man < sinned, there was no sorrow, no grief, no tears, 1 no anguish of heart in this world ; and since J man sinned, the world has been full of woe. 1 The remedy for trouble is the blood of Jesus. ? The only medicine that will dry our tears 1 and ease our aching hearts, is the blood of j the Lamb of God. Nothing else does any , good. The troubles peculiar to the poor cannot be removed by making the poor rich; neither can the grief which hovers around the 1 homes of the rich be driven away by making j the rich poor. The sick man is not made happy by being restored to health; neither is ^ the well man freed from his anguish of heart \ by being placed upon a bed of sickness. Noth- 1 ing will relieve the aching of our hearts but 1 an interest in the covenant of grace. "Call 1 upon me (God) in the day of trouble and I j will deliver you." Psalm 50. This is the , gracious promise God makes to us poor sin j polluted and grief oppressed mortals. 1 It is a part of the experience of God's peo- 1 pie that God does deliver them. Sometimes c the deliverance brought to those who call j upon God, is not at the time nor in the way ( that it is expected ; but God never fails to de- t liver his people. He does it in his own time c and in his own way, and in the end the expe- 1 rience of the pious is, that God's time and 1 God's way is the'best time and the best way. * To the human mind, unenlightened by the j Holy Spirit, there was not much fitness in { sending Elijah to a poor widow in the midst e of an extensive famine to be fed. Had the c prophet been permitted to select a home, he 1 would, in all human probability, have chosen * some place else. ; The duty of God's people in the day of y trouble is to go directly to God, and in faith, c ask him to deliver them, leaving the time and 1 manner of deliverance wholly to God. His c wisdom and power are sufficient for any eraer- * gency. God indicates the time and mode of 4 deliverance by the dealings of his providence. Our duty is to watch these indications and be , governed, in our actions, by them. c WHAT FAMILY GOVERNMENT IS. c It is not to watch children with suspicious r eye, to frown at the merry outburst of inno- ? cent hilarity, to suppress their joyous laugh- v ter, and to mold them into melancholy little r models of octogenarian gravity. And when they are in fault, it is not simply to punish them on account of the per- ] sonal injury that you have chanced to suffer ? in consequence, unattended by inconvenience r to yourself; pass it without rebuke. r Nor is it to overwhelm the little culprit 5 with angry words ; to stun him with a cfeafen- c ing noise; to call him by hard names which f do not express his misdeeds ; to load him with ] epithets which would be extravagant if ap- c plied to a fault of tenfold enormity; or to de- r clare, with passionate vehemence, that he is ? the worst child in the world, and destined for j ' the gallows. J But it is to watch anxiously for the first r risings of sin, and to repress them ; to con- ; tract the earliest workings of selfishness ; to s repress the beginnings of rebellion against ? l rightful authority; to teach an implicit and c I unquestioning and cheerful obedience to the I will 1 nf thp nnrpnf. ns the best nreDaration for . | V,* v..~ j , r I X | a future allegiance to the requirements of the r I civil magistrate, and the laws of the Great | Ruler and Father in Heaven. It is to punish a fault, because it is a fault; J because it is sinful and contrary to the com- f ' mands of God, without reference to whether . it may or may not have been productive of j | immediate injury to the parent or others. ( It is to reprove with calmness and corapo- | 1 sure, and not with angry irritation; in a few , i words, fitly chosen, and not with a torrent ofi. I abuse; to punish as often as you threaten, J . ' j and threaten only when you intend, and can ' j ! remember to perform; to say what you mean, |, and infallibly do as you say. It is to govern your family as in the sight j t of Him who gave you authority, who will re- j' ward strict fidelity with such blessing as he I ! bestowed on Abraham, or punish your criminal neglect with such curses as He visited on i ' .

QUEER THINGS ABOUT BABIES. < A great many curious things happen to ba- * bies, in this round world of ouft. One thing i is, planting them. This is done by the dark ; skinned women of Guinea, and isn't half so dreadful as it sounds. The mother digs a hole j in the ground, stands baby in it, and then packs the warm sand around him to keep him in place, as you would set out a rose bush. It keeps him out of mischief, aud he can play in { the sand while his mother works. All day t V?n n + o*ta in Vila a1/1 an/1 flf. niffht. ^ LUMg lie oiajo 1U 11IO U1U VIIW) W??V? MW , , when she is done with her work, he is dug out. When this agricultural mother wants to carry t baby about, she ties him into a little chair, f which she straps to her back. If it is some , very grand occasion, he is dressed neatly in ( stripes of white paint, and ornamented with 8 iozens of brass bracelets and rings on the arms s ind legs. A funny looking baby he must be! s tf you don't fancy a crib of sand for a baby, s what do you think of a big shoe, stuffed with t boss, to make it comfortable? The droll t little Laps cradle their babies in that way. f The shoe is large, of course, and made of rein- 8 leer skiu. It comes up high at the back, ' like the slippers we wear now-a-days, and is ;urned up at the toes. The moss with which t is stuffed is the famous reindeer moss, soft I ind white; and the odd little black-eyed baby ' .ooks very comfortable hanging from the tree, j )r slung across its mother's back. Perhaps ;his baby who lives in a shoe is no more corneal than the baby who lives in a fur-bag, mother sober little black-eyed baby, away off ] n the shivery Esquimaux huts. Besides beng cuddled up in a fur-bag at his mother's jack, this round-faced little fellow wears a iur-hood, and looks like some strange kind of ] mimal peeping out in the world. You may i mveseen the Indian baby, or papoose, bound J lat to a board?poor little creature! One ^ ;ribe, the Flatheads, make a rude sort of box j )f bark or willow-work, and wrap the baby? 'little man," they call him?in a piece of j blanket, strap him tightly to the box, and ) lang it across two sticks. Besides this, the J unfortunate little fellow has a board bound 1 )ver his forehead to make him a Flathead. 8 Even the Russian peasant mother cradles her jaby on a square board, hung from the wall ( jy strings from each corner, like the pan in a ( lalance. In India the funny little black ba- | )ies either sit on their mother's hips and hold j >n by clasping their hands over her shoulder, i >r they take airy rides in a basket on her f lead. These babies are elegantly dressed ^ n armlets, bracelets, anklets and leglets (if x >ne might make a word,) finger-rings, toeings, ear-rings and nose-rings. As to clothes, I hey don't need many when they wear so I nuch jewelry. China babies?not dolls, but jabies that live in China?are sadly in the ? vay among the poor.

Many poor Chinese live in boats on ,he river, and the baby that comes to such a " amily is tied by a long rope to the mast. It s long enough to let the child creep around, )ut not long enough to let him fall overboard. There is another curious custom regarding labies which prevails in some parts of China, if one dies, it is not buried, as older people ire; it is thrown out carelessly, and crackers ire fired off at the door. Here and there, at he corners of streets, charitable people build iraall houses with openings to drop the negected little bodies in, and that is all the bu ial they get. A Romantic Story.?The following story s told by the Galveston (Texas) Commercial, >f a man who was sent to the penitentiary of hat State a week ago. "He is a German of loble birth. His uncles and brothers distinjuished themselves in the late Franco-German var; they were high in rank and live in princey pomp. Yet this brother, perhaps of raorils as good as the best of hi^family, will for ,wo years live in the Texas Penitentiary. This roung man seems to have been the favorite of lis mother, but the hated of his father. He vas sent to the first schools of Germany, and s proficient in ancient and modern languages ; jut he was allowed to spend money at random, jeing taught nothing that was useful. When >f age, he was given a few thousands and sent o this country. Here we premise, that while ,he young man is neither crazed nor a fool, he loes lack that which is called gumption. He narried a woman, who, after a season, desertid him. From the time of his desertion he lecame a wanderer. Being sick, he returned o Germany, and was sent by 'his family to he most celebrated springs in Germany, and vhen he was fully restored, they returned lim to this country with sufficient to have esablished him in a small business, but he wastid all?and it is strange that he did so, for he loes not appear to be addicted to any of the noney-eating vices. Reduced to beggary, he talked from Mobile to New York, hunting imployment. Then he got back to Galveston. Tere he acted as scullion in a fourth-rate , loardiug-house, waiting on the table and " deaning knives. Whileengaged in this work "[ le stole two watches, worth $7, and on being jj sharged with it, he confessed the offense, and s legged the recorder to send him to the peni- ii entiary, that he might learn a trade and be ( ible to support himself. He told the recordir, that if he was not sent to the penitentiary ^ *T loom o +*?n/3a lio tijaii nrr?

We hope that his eaidence in Huntsville will be productive of ill the good he anticipates from it, and that I vhen he leaves it, he will be a self-supporting, espectable citizen." i t Burial Place of Zachary Taylor.? ? 3etween five and six miles from the city, on F in obscure neighborhood road, a quarter of a a nile from the Brownsboro road, rest the re- J nains of the twelfth President of the United j States?Zachary Taylor?whose name was r ince upon all lips, and whose praises sounded * rom one end of the country to the other. Che grave is situated in the northeast comer ?f the Taylor farm, and it is mortifying to r elate that it is in a sadly neglected condition, g inderbrush, weeds and ailantus trees renderng it very difficult of access. No monument ias ever been erected to General Taylor's nemory. The remains lie there in a plain rault built in the side of a hill, with a marble lab over the door, bearing the inscription: 'Z. TAYLOR, born November 24, 1784; lied July 9, 1850." The services rendered by this brave, goodrntured old soldier deserve monumental recoglition. A gentleman who recently visited the ;rave said to a reporter of this paper : "As I itood there, with head uncovered, my mind everted to boyhood days, and I remembered i solemn funeral cortege at Philadelphia, the ;ity in mourning, public buildings and private | esidences draped in black, a hush all over the jity, sadness depicted on every face, for great, f jrave old General Taylor was dead. The ,vhole nation, in fact, mourned his loss. Twen- * y-three years after this, I find myself at his < jrave near Louisville and am impressed with ;he fact that the nation's dead are soon forgotten." ^ The place does indeed appear forgotten. A >tone wall encloses the little grave yard and a rusty and unused iron gate frowns upon the ( visitor. It evidently has not been opened for [ 1 pears. Colonel Richard Taylor is buried to 1 the right of General Taylor. An obelisk, | ( eighteen feet high, is erected over his grave, | . bearing the inscription : "Colonel Richard j Taylor, a soldier of the Revolutionary war, i and a native of Orange county, Virginia ; i born April 3, 1744; died January 19, 1829." Colonel Taylor came to this State while his n 1 n1 1 I bod, Z.achary, was an miant, ana seiuea on the plantation where he is now buried.

STRICTLY A WHITE MAN'S PAPER. * - nA All iuut'[)cuuciu uuu icuiicnn juuiuui) ucvu" ted to the Interests of the Good and True People of the Country. FROM the growing popularity and demand abroAd, for our paper, which after more than seven years of unremitting Jabor and effort we have the proud satisfaction of seeing firmly established, upon a business basis, we are convinced of the propriety of imparting to it a broader character, and making it a more general exponentof the sentiments and interests of the country, at large, and representative of its intelligence and welfare, but more especially of the South and , OUR OWN SOUTHERN PEOPLE. We have, therefore, determined, to the best of our ability, to occupy this higher and wider plane of usefulness, and as a first step toward doing so, we abandon the name of the Sumter News, which smacks too much of localism, for that of THE TRUE SOUTHRON. We shall continue, as heretofore, to stand firmly and squarely upon our principles, maintain our independence, and to uattle for right and truth against official corruption, venality and fraud?not swerving from the right through motives of crooked policy or fallacious and shortsighted expediency. We receive no'Government pap, to help us along; but look to tho men whose rights and interests we watch and defend, by day and by night, to sustain us, by a cordial and liberal support. We ask all friends of HONESTY AND GOOD GOVERNMENT To interest themselves in extending our circulation, and thereby aid us in our battle against the corruption and villainy of the Party in Power, which is fast destroying the liberties of our people and the resources of the country.
