grossly mistaken when they suppose that
the poor men will join their ranks or even
remain neutral. They may rest assured that
the poor men Of the South, are possessed
of as much patriotism as any CLASS in exis-
tsnce, and that thev will never consent
to be placed Gas the abolitouists would
have thcm) upon an equality with the ne
gro, yea perhaps side by side, have negro
and white man arrayed at the ballot box.
Should that day arrive when the abolition
lists would attempt to force this issue. they
would find the poor msu as ready as the
rich to take up arms in defence of their
homes and fircsidrs, and none more ready
than the poor man TO sacrifice his life in be.
half of his country. 1t isa gross libel upon
the character of the poor men ofihe South,
to say that they will be wanting in patriot
ism, when the issue is made between the
black hearted. blood thirsty, abol,ionists OF
the North and the people of the South.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

Ok Friday morning last the dwelling house
of Mr.. r. III. CROCKETT, few miles above
this place, large two story building, was
struck with lightning. One of the Chin
neys was first struck tearing off n few bricks,
when the electric fluid divided into three
parts, passing down the rafters on either
side, tearing one of the rafters completely
away, and running in between the ceiling
and weather boarding, bursting one of the
studs to pieces, and passing through the
foor,leaving a hole in the latter large enough
{" pass the band through. No damage was
done to the inmates, though two children
were lying within two feet Of where the
lightning passed through the floor.
