MISCB TiTiANY Wtarlng of thc Oreen. Tho following ?B the celebrated song which croated such intense excitement thron."ho".t Great Britain and fer iucrpo ratioifof which in his piece, Mr. Bourci cault's play of "Arrali na Pogue" had to bo withdrawn from thc Loudon stage: I. Oh! Paddy, dear, and did you hear Thc news that's going round. Tho Shamrock is forbid by law to Grow on Irish ground. No more SI;. Patrick's day we'll koop, The color can't be seen, For there's a bloody law against tho Wearing of the green. I mot with Nappy Tan der, and he took Me by thc hand, And ho said, "How's poor onld Ireland, t And how does she stand V"' She's the most distrustful country that Ever you have seen, They're hanging men and women there for "Wearing of thc green." ii. Then since the color we must wear is England's cruel red. Sure Ireland's sons will ne'er forget thc Blood that they have shed. You may take the Shamrock from your hat And cast it on thc sod ; It will take root and flourish there. Though under foot it's trod. When the law can keep the blades of grass From growing as they grow, And when tho leaves in Summer timo Their verdure dare not show,. Then I will change the color I wear in my eaubcen ; But till that day, olease God, I'll stick To wearing of the green! nr. But if at last thc color should Be torn from Ireland's heart, Her sons with shame and sorrow from The dear old soil will part. I've heard whispers of a country That lies beyond thc sea, Where rieh and poor stand equal in Tho light of freedom's day. Oh! Erin, wo must leave you, driven By the tyrant's hand! Must we ask a mother's welcome from A strange but happier land, Where tho cruel cross of England's Thraldom never shall be seen, And where, thank God ! we'll Uve and die, Still wearing of the g-con ! aili Arp on thc State of the Country. "Sweet land of Liberty, of thee I sing." Not much I dont, not at this timo. If there's anything sweet about li? berty in this part of the vineyard, I can't sec it. The land's good enuf and I wouldn't mind hearin a hyme or two about thc land I live on, but as for findin sugar and liberty in Georgy soil, it's all a mistake. How sumever, I'm hopeful. I'm much calmer and serener than I was a few months ago. I begin to feel kindly towards all people, except some. I'm now endeavorin to be a great national man. I've taken up a motto of no North, no South, no East, no "West; but let me tell you, my friend, I'll bet on Dixie as long as I've got a dollar, j It's no harm to run both skedules. In fakt it is highly harmonious to do so. I'm a good Union reb, and my battle cry are Dixie and the Union. But you see, my friend, wc are gettin restless about some thing. The war had bekum mighty heavy on us, and after the big collaps we thought it was over for good. We had killed folks and killed folks until the novelty of thc thing had wore oft*, and we were mity nigh played out all over. Children were increasin and vittels diminishin. By a close calculashun it was perseeved that we didn't kill our enemies as fast us they were im? ported, and about those times I thought it was a pity that some mirakle of grace hadn't cut off the breed of forriners some 18 or 20 years ago. Gen. Sherman wouldn't havo walked over the tract and Ulyses would have killed more mon than he did-of his own shh I hav always thot that a General ought to be pcr tikler which side he was sacrifisin. Well, if the war is over, what's the use fillin up our towns and cities with soldiers any longer. Where's your rekonstruction, that the papers say is goin on so rapidly? Whore's thc liberty and freedom V Tho fakt is, General Sherman and his caterpil lers made such a clean sweep of everything. I don't soc much to re konstrukt. They took so many li? berties around here that there's nary liberty left. I could have rekou struktod a thousand sich States before this. Any body could. There wasn't nothin to do but jest to g<> off and let us alone. We'v< got plenty of states? men-plenty of men for Governor. Joe Brown aint dead- be's waitin standin at the door with his hat oft'. Then what's the soldiers hen; for what good are they doin-who want's to see 'em any longer? Everybody is tired of the war and we don't want to sec any more signs of it. The niggers don't want 'em, and the white men don't waif t 'em, and as for the wimen-whoo-pee! I golly! Well, there's no use talkin-when the sti.rs fall agin maybe the wimen will bo harmonized. That mal? bisiness-that oath about gettin letters! Gee-tiger! They al? ways was jealous about the males anyhow, and that order jest broke the camel's back. Well I must con fess that it was a powerful small con? cern. I would try to sorter smooth it over if I knowed what to say, but I don't. If they was afeered of tho wimen. wbv didn't *b?y s??y so? If ; they wasn't, what do they inake 'em sweer for? Just to aggravate 'em? Didn't they know that thc best way to harmonize a man, was to har? monize his wife first? What harm can the wimen do by reccivin their letter oath free? They can't vote, nor they can't preach, nor hold offis, nor play soldier, nor muster, nor wear breeches, nor ride straddle, nor cuss, nor chaw terbacker, nor do mithin hardly but talk and rite letters. I beam that a valant kernel made a woman put up her fan bekause it had a pikter of Borygard 'pon it. Well she's harmonized, I reckon. Now the trouble of ail sich is that after these bayonets leave here and go home, these petticoat tyrants can't come back any more, ?onie Gorgy fool will mash the juico out of 'em, sertin, and that wouldn't be neither harmonious nor healthy. Better let the wimen alone. Then there is another thing I'm waitin for. Why don't they rekon strukt the niggers if they arc ever goin to? They've give 'em a powerful site of freedom, and devillish little else. Here's the big freedman's buro, and the little buros all over the coun? try, and the papers are full of grand orders and special orders and para grafs, but I'll bet a possum that some of 'em steals my wood this winter or freezes to death. Freedman's buro! I freedman's humbug, I say. Just when the corn needed plowing tho worst, ? the buro rung thc bell and tolled all the niggers to town, and the farmers lost the crops, and now the freedmen is gettin cold and hungry, and wants to go back, and there ain't nothin for 'em to go to. But freedom is a big thing. Hurraw for freedom's buro! Sweet land of liberty, of thee I don't sing! But it's all right. I'm for free? dom myself. Nobody wants any more slavery. If the Abolishunists had let us alone, we would have fixed it up right a long time ago, and we eau fix it up now. The buro ain't fixed it; and it ain't goiu to. It don't know anything about it. Our people have I got a heap more feeling for the poor nigger than any Abolishunist. We are as poor as Job, but I'll bet a dol? lar we can raise more money in Borne to build a nigger church than they did in Boston. The papers say that after goin round for 3 weeks, and Boston Christians raised thirty-seven dollars to build a nigger church in Savannah. They are powerful on theory, but devillish scarce in practice. But it's no use talkin. Everybody will know by waitin who's been foold. Mr. Johnson says he's gwine to expe? riment, that's all he can do now-its all enybody can do. Mr. Johnson's head's level. I'm for him, and every body ought to be for him-only he's powerful slow about somethings. I ain't a worshippin him. He never made me. I hear folks hollerin hur? raw for Andy Johnson, and the papers say, oh! he's for us, he's all right, he's our friend. Well, sposc he is, hadn't he ought to be? Did you expekt him to be a dog, or a Black Republican pup? Bekause he ain't a hanking of us, is it necessary to be pinyin hipocrit around the foot? stool of power, and makin out like ho was the greatest man in thc world, and we was the greatest sin? ners? Wh?'ssorry? Who'srepentin' Who ain't proud of our people? Whc loves our enemies? Nobody but ii durned sneak. I say let 'em hang and be hanged to 'em, before I'd beg 'err for grace. Whar's Sokratos, whar'i Cato? But if Andy holds his own, the country's safe, provided these general assemblys and sinods ant bishop's conventions will keep the devil and Brownlow tied. Here's r bossee of slink-hearted fellers whc played tory just to dodge bullets oi save property, now a bowlin about foi offis -want everything bekause thej was for Union. They was for them selves, that's all they was for, ?tm they ain't goin to git the office: neither. Mr. Johnson ain't gol n< more respek for 'ein than 1 have. \Y< want to trade 'e. : oil*. By hoky, we'l give two of 'em for one copperhead and ax nothin' to boot. Let 'en shinny on their own side, and ge over among the folks who don't waa us rekonstrnkted. There's them news paper scribblers who slip down to tin edge of Dixy every 24 hours, an< peep over at us on tip toe. Thei they run back to puffin ?iud blowii with ?i strait coat tail, and holler out "He ain't dead, look out everybody I'm jest from thar-seen his toe mov? -benni him grunt; he's goin to rais agin. Don't withdraw the soljers but send down more troops immegi ately." Aud here's your Harper' Weekly a headiu all sieh-a gassdi lies and slanders in every issue makin insultin pikters in every sheet -breedin everlastin discord, and chawin bigger than ever since we got licked. Wish old Stonewall had kotchcd these Harpers ??t their fort j, and we boys had knowed they was going to keep up this devilment so long. We'd a made Baptists of them settin, payroll or no payroll. Hurraw for a brave soldier, I say, reb or no reb, yank or no yank; hurraw for a manly foe and a generous victor hurraw for our side, too. I golly, excuso me, but sich expressions will work their way out sometimes, brakes or no brakes. But Fm for Mr. Johnson. I'm for all tho Johnson's, its a bully name. There's our Governor, who ain't going at a discount, and there's Andy, who is doin powerful well considerin, and there's tho hero of bbilo, peace to his noble ashes. And there's Joe, my bully Joe wouldn't I walk ten milos of a rainy night to soc thorn hazel eyes and feel thc grip of his soldier hand. Didn't nay roosier clap bis wings and crow whenever he passed our quarters? "Instinct told hito that he was tho true prince," and it would make any? body brave to be nigh him. I like all the Johnsons, even to Sam-L. C. tie never levied on me if he coidd git round it. For 20 years, mc and Sam hnvo been working together in the justice court.. I was an everlastin defendant, and Sam the constable, but he never sold my property nor sheered Mrs. Arp. Hurraw for the Johnsons! Well, on thc whole, there's a heap of things to be thankful for. I'm thankful thc war is over-that's the big thing. Then I'm glad I ain't a Black Republican pup. I'm thankful that Thad. Stephens and Sumner and Philips, nor none of their kin, ain't no kin to me. I'm thankful for the high privilege of hatin all such. I'm thankfid I live in Dixy, in the State of Georgy; and our Governor's name ain't Brownlow. Poor Tennessee ! I ?rolly, didn't she catch it! Andy Johnson's pardons won't do robs much good there. They better git one from tho devil if they expekt it to pass. Wonder what made Providence atHikt 'cm with such a cuss. But I can't dwell on such a Sub? jekt, lbs highly demoralizin and un proli table. "Sweet land of Liberty, of theo I could not sing in Tennessee." But then we've had a circus once more, and seen the clown play ronind, and that makes up for a heep of trouble. In fact, its the best sign of rekonstruktion I have yit observed. Yourn, hopin, BILL AliP. P. S.-And they bawled Grant's cabin a thousand miles. Well! Sher? man's war horse strayed in my stable ono night. I want to sell the stall to some Yankee State Fair, as our peo? ple ain't the sort that run after big folk's things. The stall ain't no more than any other stall to me. State Fairs, its for sale. I suppose that Harper's Weekly or Frank Lesly will paint a pikter of it soon, by drawin on their imamnation. E. A. Out of nine duels fought in Paris, eight are sure to be for a lorette ; and she has mostly something to do with the ninth. Charleston Advertisements. STENHOUSE & CO., FORWARDING ANO COM.

After twenty-four hours of trial, it was found among the debris, and on opening it this day has yielded up its contents in very good order -books, papers, policies of insurance, bank bills, all in condition for immediate use, and a noble commentary on the trustworthiness of Herring's Fire Proof Safe.
