Young AmeficaiSmS,

Our ambitious neighbor tries pretty hard
to be up with the times, and will, by and by,
perhaps, be able to rise to the level of decency.
The correspondent upon Woman" backs from
his lnfidelity, and abuse Of women, but growls
greatly at us for compelling him to do so. We
accept hls apology, and are willing to oblige
him, to credit his assertion that he was only
romanclng," though the character of the Deity
is too sacred to be made theme for romance.
we plead guilty to possessing the works he
taboos, and of being an admirer thereof, but we
Will challenge him to find in either author, how
ever they may paint some characters of the fe-
male sex, single line characterizing women
without exception, as " "grovelling" and debased,
their =" whole lives cheat, anything assimi-
ating the author to contemplate, heartless
miscreant like himself.
The empty-headed editor" whose scull
seems to be like one of those curious shells
through which any sound may be whistled, said
last week in reference to woman S smile
There turks beneath the studied sweetness
of that smile you would aspire to- subtle pois-
on, more fatal, far than any Sybils potion
This week the tone varies as follows
Homan.--Tell me where on Garth her in
ttuence is unknown or where the magic of her
smile has never shed its radiant beamings?"
"Splendid opening. for a man of fleisure-Read
Sargents last commentary On the Turkish En-
pire. Ibid.
We second the suggestion.
"THE BALL at Rough and Ready passed off
with eclat. Nothing was lacking to render to
the happiness of the guests, and all was joyful
oung America was present. but owing to a
prejudice on the part of the fair was considera-
bly, cramped. Ibid.
We do not wonder at the above, and presume
the editors conscience kept him at respectful
distance. There is an old proverb that 'The
burnt dog fears cold water"
GO! get you copy of the Journal of Au-
gust Goth, and relieve yourself bya reperusal of
that picture so deicately painted by your classic
communicant, the legendary but obscene Pc
ter. ."-IbM
The article in question was written by re-
spectacle clergyman, whose wife had beer in
suited in her own dwelling by mistake for no
torious woman named Fanny The article Sc
yerely characterised the growing immortality of
the place, was designed to do good, and if it
did not, was conceived in the purest motives,
and couched in the purest language.
There are some such men as we have been
describing to be found in this immediate vicin-
! ity; and thus we hear from day to day these
expressions. I" He is an aristocratic Southern
er," "a clannish Kentuckian," or "a d-md
mackerel catcher" But the aspish malignity
of these tarantula-like stingers upon the body
polite is not confined in extent to the political
circle alone The purer fountains of social en-
joymelt are corrupted by its bane Ibid.
Rather severe that on some of the peculiar
friends of the Y 4. We think we know the
very case referred to, where certain high toned
gentlemen changed their boarding house in Ne
vada (the purer fountains of social enjoyment)
rather than sit at the table with one who hailed
from another part of the Union, and held senti-
ments peculiar to few of his section.
The "beautiful lines for the Y Il. "Iwoke
from a dream of love- were published in the
Journal, May 90, 1852!
"A few more wholesome prescriptions from
" Young America" light diet" &c.--BM.
! The diet furnished by our neighbor is prop
erly characterized. 1t is as light as vacuity of
thought can make it.
AT Mr.. Dayidge's modest request we made
complimentary notice of his appointment before
he entered npon his duties. Our opinion since
he nominally took charge of the Office this self
styled ' worthy public officer" well knows. In
this family quarrel" we did not design to in
terfere and should not, had not our neighbor
wantonly lugged us into it in its first issue-
Messrs. Clarkson and Hervey always supplied
us with the list of letters so that we could put
it on our outside. The proxy of Mr.. Davdge
in the office (for we do not hold him responsible
as he gives little or none of his time to post of
flee afairs) on every occasion delayed the list so
that though in time for the paper, yet if it was
inserted it must be on the inside, and thus de-
prive our readers of the news and other matter
that should fill the inside. This was done re-
peatedly, although the difficulty was explained
both to Mr.. Davidge the nominal postmaster,
and Mr. Battaie the acting postmaster. Our
remark was therefore warranted that
"Whie Nevada was blessed with an efficient
postmaster, one who attended to the duties of
his office, there was no difficulty in getting the
list published in this paper"
! AS Mr. Davidge actively electioneered for a
