Rain.
| On Friday and Saturday last we were favored
with fine showers of fran-the weather for several
| weeks previous having been exceedingly dry, dus-
tv and disagreeabe. We hope the recent rains
will assist the steamer Robert Martin to make her
way up, our Merchants are getting very anxious
to hear of her arrival at this port.
sY'We have had frost. On Sunday night,
while the moon was shining softly down, and the
stars with their brilliant eyes were looking on the
earth, frost came, and with his cold breath breath
ed upon the beautiful flowers, and now they
hang their fragrant petals, bright victims OF the
frost-fever. We would wish that our cline was
still nearer an eternal summer-where no chilling
winds swept away the warmness of the sunshine,

Leaves have their time to fall,

But beyond dark Winter lies beautiful Spring,
and we will wait for the resurrection Of the flowers.
B-F From all parts of the South we hear Of
Southern Rights meetings, largely attended,
Here and there occasionally, we see "a rally for
the Union," with perhaps ten or twelve names at
tached, calling the meeting which generally proves
miserable abortion. Judge Sharkey, who was
offered that federal brbe, if he would desert the
South, We SEE, has agreed TO the bargain, and
says he goes for submission Let him co. poor
old man. The South has lost but little, and the
North gained still less. How will he be remem-
bered in comparison with the venerable Troup!
sy. The citizens of Darlington District have
formed Southern Rights Association, of which
Chancellor Darga, is President.
So brother Fulton you are Pat-well we like
you little better. Some one told US Won were a
yankee--that is born North ofMason and Dixon's
line. We call all those yankees-we know the
term was originally applied to the New England
States. But We ate glad TO hear that you are
native of the land of Ossian and Moore. You ask,
if a Northerner who favors Clay's compromise bill
is an Abolitionists! What is Southerner who
holds the same opinion! We will tell YOU what
an Irishman who does is, traitor 10 the Souh.-
When you bring flower from Europe and plant
| il here, do you not say this is erotic flower p
Why then do you object to the term e.rotic yankee,
or as we now have it erot,c Pat. But you say,
"we would just as soon be yankee as not" Re-
ally, we expect you would-we have seen men
like you BEFORE with whom almost any change
would be for the better But little further you
assume your usually dignifed style" and remarks,

land of his nativity-but six feet though we be, we
cannot reach that brilliant flash Of native thought.
Relative to our selfconceit and egotsrn, we think
you showed decidedly the largest share in calling
YOURSELF stumpy little Devir'-as men generally
suppose even little Devil and stumpy one at
| that, to have some slnartness attached to them,
from the success they meet with. Your logic in
proving our Book a Turnip reminds me of that of
two of your couutrymen, walking up hill, one
in advance Of the other-a limb stretched across
their path--the foremost as he walked on bent it
round as far as possible and then let it loose--fy-
ing back it struck his comrade and knocked him
down-"Faith and be Jasus, Pat" said the fallen
one, "where would it have knocked me to, if you
hadn't. held it." You say man that makes shoe
is shoemaker-a wagon, wagonmaker," &c.
then because you review our Book it is Turnip.
Is he who reviews wagon, the wagoamaker!
Any Ounce can review shoe, but any Ounce cam
not make one. Verify you are great logician.-
We called you Iurnip reviewer, for two rea-

that we were overwhelmed at the notice you took
