HE MANITEE OR SEA Cow.-It is stated that Barnum of the American Museum has offered $l0,O00 to the captors of this sin gular animal. The Charleston Mercury thus speaks of it:
 ''It is called the Sea Cow, and was cap. tured by MT. Clark, in St. Luce's Sound, South Florida, where they are often seen. The specimen is bull--the mate of it hav- ing been killed in the capture. It is about ten feet long, with a head not unlike that ot COW. It has on the breast two flippers. something like turtles, but armed with nails, The tail is fan shaped, the skin is smooth and of a lead color, and very thick. The flesh is eatable, and is said to taste like beef, and its vital organization, except in having t,oo hearts, approaches that of the COW. These creatures feed on the water grasses in inlets, after the manner of the hippotamus."
 The female animal. killed in the capture was about If feet long, and weighed l5OO pounds.
 Some years ago, during the Florida war Colonel Harney shot two of these animals in the Everglades.

 Steward is as dead as a mackeral,' po- litically, here--the Postmaster General, N. K. Hall, was the head and the front of the opposition to the higher law gentleman in western New York, and knows the dema- gogue well, thatis quite enough to make the new postmaster popular in all the South; he was the law partner of the President, his personal friend, and is an amiable, intelIi. gent, liberal, highminded gentleman.
 GEoRcIA.-The Savannah Georgian of the list inst. says: We have just conversed with an intelligent planter residing in Will. kinson. He informs us that in his county in Laurens, Twiggs, Baldwin, etc., the pros: pect is good for fair crop of cotton. The corn has suffered materially. Within the last three weeks the cotton has made i'm. mense progress.

NO SURRENDER.

Ever constant, ever true.
Let the word be, No surrender;
Boldly dare and greatly do.
This shall bring us bravely through;
No surrender, no surrender
And though Fortunes smiles be few,
Hope is always springing new,
Still inspiring me and you
With magic-No surrender
Nail the colors TO the mast,
Shouting gladly, No surrender
Troubles near are ali cut past
Serve them as You did the last;
No surrender, No surrender
Though the skies be over cast,
And upon the slecty blast
Disappointmcnts gather fast,
Beat them off with, No surrender
Constant and courageous still,
Mind, the word Is, No surrender;
Battle, Thoughts, be uphill,
Stagger not at seeming i'll;
No surrender, no surrender
Hope-and thus your hope fulfil
There's way where there's will,
And the way all cares to kill
Is il 10 give ,hem-No surrender.
