A SMALL MATTER.

Col. Featherston, in his speech here last Tuesday,
read brief editorial from our paper dated sometime
in October last. The purport Of the editorial was
complimentary 70 the Colonel. He had Just arrived
in town, and VIC thought il proper, and indeed re-.
quircd OF US as his old friend and supporter to besow
upon him our hearty concentrations for his general
course In Congress. But the aspect Of affairs has
changed since then. We now. find Col Featherston
in company of such politicians as Quitman and
Cheves. lie approved Of the called session of the
Legislature, which we denounced from the start he
approved Of the acts Of that Legislature AID we,be-
lleve is In favor Of Southern Congress. We have
condemned all these measures and we cannot con.
sistently support any man who advocates Them II
is mainly for his present course and not for his acts
in Congress that we oppose him.
No, Colonel you cannot fix an inconsistency upon
me. stand where always stood on the democratic
platform of lS4S. 1t is you who has changed and
not |. Although still personal friends as hone we
shall ever remain, you have become my political en-
envy, and am yours.

FIVE NEcTARINEs.-We were presented the
other day by our old friend, Mr.. Benz. Galley with
quantity Of delicious nectarnes, raised in bis
own garden, decidedly the bestthat we have seen
since we have been in the state. Our little daugh-

them with exsIacies oil delight Many thanks
my old friend, for your choice present. BY the
way. we are surprised TINT the nectarine is mol

attention and cultivation, we are satisfied that
it would succeed nearly, or quite as well as the

THE CUBAN REVOLUTION!
FULLER ACCOUNTS BY THE ISABEL
CHARLESTON, Friday, july 25.

CHARLESTON, Friday, july 25.
The steamship Isabel has arrived at her
wharf. The accounts which she brings from
Cuba are contradictory. Letters received from
credible quarters assert positively that many
towns are in arms, that the insurgents have or
ganized their forces to the number OF 5, 90. II
Is also stated that in several actions the Queens
troops had suffered severe loss, and that the in.
surgents were about TO declare a Provisional
Government. So great is the alarm of the Span,
ish authorities that they open all letters passing
through the mail.
An express received on the 22d by the Cap,
tain General, at Havana, from Puerto Principe
the 10th, reiterates the statements that party
ofinsurCents, headed by Don Joaquin Aguero,
had been beaten and dispersed by the Governor
Of the Eastern Department with the loss Of
five killed. The same Spanish accounts state
thai five of the insurgents were killed, that many
horses and arms were captured that numbers
ofthe patriots had surrendered, and others were
willing to do so on receiving assurances of par
don. Another letter, from Spanish source,
says that Havana and the rest OF the Island
were quiet, and that the rumors to the contrary
are circulated only for the purpose OF creating
excitement in the United States.
1t is stated that spies have arrived in the Isabel
being sent to watch the movements of the friends
of Cuban liberty in the United States. One Of
them is named Jose NJ. Blauco de la Tufa.
The few Spanish men oC-war in the port o.
Havana had sailed with Government troops fol

SECRETARY CowIN.-The Dayton Gazette
relates the following story Of Secretary Gown.
It's humor is characteristic:
ITO friend of ours who saw him the other
day at Lebanon, he gave most amusing, and,
we doubt not, truthful account of things in the
treasury department. The clerks he estimates,
were sick on an average, about half the time
but il struck him as somewhat remarkable that,
much as they were sick none of them died. The
fact was apparent at a glance that they did very
little work for the public, and the inference was
irresistible that something must be done for them.
Accordingly, the secretary turned physician, and
began to preccribe for the invalids. He issued
an order that all clerks who were absent from
their desks certain number Of days, say two, on
account of sickness, should submit to propor-
tionate deduction from their respective salaries !;
and that all who were absent longer. say one
week, would be required either TO die or resign.
"Ihe prescription worked like charm, and
in short time there was not sick clerk IN the
whole department. A healthier set ofm than
they are now Mr.. Corwin declares cannot be
found anywhere.

SONG FOR THINKERS.
BY CHARLES SWAIN

Take the spade of Perseverance,
Dig the field of Progress wide;
Every rotten root OF faction
Hurry out, and cast aside;
Every stubborn weed of Error;
Every seed that hurts the soil;
Tares, whose very growth is terror
Dig them out, whate'er the toll !
Give the stream of Education
Broader channel, holder force
Hurl the stones of Persecution
Out, where'er they block its course
Seek for strength in self.exertion
Work, and still have faith to wait;
Close the crooked gate to fortune;
Make the road to honor straight
Men are agents for the Future!
As they work so ages win
Either harvest of advancement,
Or the product Of their sin
Follow out true cultivation,
Widen Education plan;
From the majesty of Nature
Teach the majesty Of Man!
Take the spade perseverance;
Dig the field ofProgress wide;
Every bar to true instruction
Garry out and cast aside;
Feed the plant whose fruit is Wisdom
Cleanse from crime the common sod;
So that from the throne of Heaven
1t may bear the glance Of God.

THOSE CIRCULARS.

We publish to-day the circular cards of Gen.
Foote and Gov Quitman, giving an account OF
their rencounter at SledgviIle, Panola Co. We
leave our readers to make their own comments.
But there can be no difference Of opinion, we
think, us to the style of the Two publications.
Foote's is calm, genteman.ke and courteous
Qulman's is illtempered and dctatorial. Be-
sides, the latter only tells his own tale of the
affair, while Foote brings in host Of respect,
able gentlemen to certify TO his statement.
We have the mere ipse DIRT of Quitman, while
Fooie brings an array of overwhelming testi-
mony from honest, impartial spectators.
We have converscd with very in,elligen,
gentleman who attended at Carrolton and several
other places where they spoke together, who as,
sured us that Foote showed more courtesy 10 his
opponent. than Qnitman did to him. But read
the circulars and Judge for yourselves.
