Correspondence of the Advertiser.

CAMP BACHELOR, July 25, 1853.
Mn. EDIToR-It is with extreme reluctance that
we are compelled to read in the columns Of your
paper some sarcastic contributions, given probably
by some Of the fair-sex concerning the drsolate
"old Bachelor" 1t appears that we occupy a very
inferior position in their cstimalpn-ndetd we have
long since been aware of this fact, but we looked
for something of more consoing nature from the
hands Of those who are so lovely.
We can tell the fair Misses we claim 10 be moth
ing and would like for them TO tell us something
with which We are not so familiar They have posi-
lively written us down as complete nuisance, ga
iruitlcss blossom on the tree of live" However
We arc not oyer-burdcnsome, as we have no frcttng
children to carry to Church to annoy the peace and
quiet of the assembly.
The great insult appears to be because we will
not gallop about after the old maids like fourteen
year old boy going to hanging on his long tail
FLY! With US that time has passed. Had many
who are now old maids, accepted the addresses paid
them by some "poor old Bachelor" they might
have redeemed him: but instead Of that they make
US Ito use their language) sand unfinished piece Of
creation-a watch without q regulator" &C. To
ridicule US thus is cruel-yea, too cruel. To make
picture and be the first to find it worthless. II
they must have lie TRUTH we are all anxious to
ry, and beg Of them not to fret. 1t will be some
time, we think, before one Of your correspondents
will be on the "old maids list" judging from her
tone, or even should she stand alone until that hour,
it may be that she can draw in some old wdower,
with dozen or two of the Field Officers" which
seems to be all the go with her In the meantime
permit us to tell her, that we have some of the
"Officers" too, but do not wish to have them to
mistress lady who is SO fearful Of becoming an old
maid.
It appears to us that we have gone too far or have
been little foolish in our defence, and We feel that
apology from US is due to her, but to save our
lives we know not how to frame it, for we thnk,it
would have 10 be as abrupt the defence ITSELF
She has reduced us to nothing" and we must
again confess we feel it in the superative degree.
Now we beg the fair lady, should she ever speak
Of the unfortunate crew again. that she will treat US
with more mercy, and not reduce us so far beneath
the dignity and worth of living being.-We will
conclude BY saying it is fervcnt prayer that be-
fore we hear from her again. she may have become
the wife Of one Of our brother Bachelors, who has
the means to sustain her in spendor so long as she
may live without extravaganza. Otherwise, we
fear that she may be in such hurry as 10 marry
some Little excuse for man, that lives with nanny
and daddy, who could soon dress-out, chicken fight

wife by her good old Christian father
With high respect md due regard we remain the

of fair hands waved their handkerchiefs. The
President, during the cheering, was conducted
TO the seat intended for him, on the platform.
On the platform of the invited guests were
larger number of men, distinguished and we'll
known in all professions and occupations of life,

Mr. Editor j am sure that it will be gratifying
to you, to know that tue late rains have produced
wonderful improvement in our crops so wonderful
indeed, that if we can get few more timely sea-
sons, this ncishborhood will make corn enough to
do upon. AS for Cotton, it is excellent, especially
where it got an early start. Within few days past
I have seen some of the finest Cotton that | ever
saw at this season of the year-large, wide spread
ing and literally bending under its fruit.
