Mr.. Editor: BY gl,ng the following I
lace IN YOUR columns, YOU will confer al
special favor on A CABARRUS BEAU
WHY DON'T THE GIRLS PROPOSE
The men are shy-,he ladies' cry,
Their minds they won't disclose;
Ii il be 81, I'd ike to know.
Why don't the girls propose
At splendid balls, IN dazzling halls,
Amid u host OF beauX,
With sparkling eyes, aud well.iimed signs,
The ladies riigh propose.
Ye maideus fair, now laughing there,
10 eoyy with your beaux,
Take my advice, don't be over nice,
They'll Wcd-do sou propose.
When stern papas, and cross mammas,
All marriage schemes oppose,
And beauX ere shy, there's no cause why
The bellies should not propose.
Poor Martha Mears, for forty years
To vedlock was opposed
But now she signs, and whlmpering cries,
. wish | had proposed
Then pits take for Hymen's sake,
On these unhappy beaux,
Who are, poor elves, too Shy themselves,
A marriage 10 propose.
Pray, ladies, a. propose!

the Jacksonville Courier, is a painful
as well as an alarming representation
'Newnansville still holds out. There
are 500 men, women, and children,
huddled together ! Husbands & sous
have been, some of them near ten
months, constantly in arms for their de.
fence. The term OF their last service
will soon expire--and then, will they
turn out again Will they not look to
their families, destitute, distressed, fed
on tho ra,ions of Government, and
hocked and crowded in a fort, like

the sun shines upon.' If no succour
comes, NewnansviIle must ere long
yield also. 1t has stood out bravely,
and we hope will continue TO do so,
while the least probable advantage can
be gained by SO doing. ST. Augustine,

is in possession ofthe Indians. New
