taunt than that of Ayxa la Horra,
the mother of the last Moorish mon
arch of Greneda, addressed to her
imbecile son after his su render, AS
he departed forever from his favorite
city TO pass into exile, he turned to
take a last look, and fears stood in
his eyes. k2s5&s~f &

The h'gh-souled woman would
have preferred the death, to the deg
radiation of the child she loved. The
same spirit animates the daughters
of the South at the present moment,
when a foe as crafty and as cruel as
Ferdinand, is seeking the >ubjugation'
of the fortress of its strength--and,
persons who finch or fallcr now,
may ezpect from them the consoIa-
ton which Boabdil received in his
hour of remorseiul regret.
We find the evidence Of this in
many of our Southern papers, more
especially in those Of Alabama, Geor-
gia, and South Carolina. Not only
do they give TO the good cause the
utterance of speech and song, in let
ters and in verse-but they lend to
public meetings the inspiration of
their presence. HarF .VT p
AT one meeting in Alabama, the
editor OF the Montgomery AdyerI-
ser (the gallant Colonel Seibe.s, who
served in MeXico) was presented by
the ladies of Macon county with a
flag with the following inscription
Secession If this be treason make
the most of it,n--in testimonial of
/ their appreciation of the course ofhis
paper. s-s g -
About ,fiflee,r hundred of the yeo-
many of Dallas and Lowndes couns
tie, Ala, and two hunlred ladies,
assembled at Old Town, on the 9th

whic h was inscribed: "Union ofithe

When such a spirit animates the
daughters Of the South when they
take their position under sEchse flag,
whoican doubt that her sons will all
rally under the BANNER of such ali
''Union.p The mothers of the Rev
olution have borne daughters worthy
of being descended from such a stock
nor will their brothers and sons
shame such o parentage. For even
those who deprecate must Still res
pect such sentiment as animates
those whose shrinking tlmdity is
proverblal, and TO whom publicity is
ever painful. =

a"Oniast evening the forerunner of
Robinson &EItlred's circus came to
our top n: he handed couple of
numbers. of the New York Atlas to
some gentlemen. The paper is cram
med with rank abolition sentiments.
The gentleman was waited on, and
examined by some Of our good citi-
7ens, and a large number of copies
ofthe same print found upon him; he
received noticeto leave, which he did
instanter about 8 clock at night.
The town council were requested to
give notice in the Sentinel, that Rob

mn Cat.-The return Of this no
ted chief to The Seminole country,
has, it appears, caused great excite
ment in the Creek nation. The Fort
Smith Herald, Of the ilth, says:
Five or six hundred Creeks start
ed off a few days ago from the Creek
nation 10 arrest him, but from some
cause they turned back when within
forty miles of him. He is bueily en-
gagged in some scheme, but is closely
watched by the agent, Nj. Duval,
who knows this willy chief very well,
and is acquainted with many of his
tricks. Mr.. Duval, we learn, has
called council Of the Semino,es
al his agency, and has called upon
If>ild Cat to attend. The govern
ment of the United States will have
tousc some very decided measures
with this chief, or he may cause the
people on the frontier a great deal of
