COL. TITUS.

This hero is again to shed his benignant
influence in Kansas. The n. o. Dcta,
just received, says
By private letter, received by gentle
man of this city, we learn that Col Titus
is about to depart from New York for
Kansas. He complains bitterly of the
injustice done him by the Nicaraguan cor
and declares his intention to
make good his reputation for bravery, if
occasion arises, in that Territory.
"The Northern Abolition papers," he
says, will have enough to do to keep track
of me.

attend to their legitimate business.

Plain truth should be in plain words
The "naked truth" is common expression.
She is innocent, and accounts it no shame
to be seen "naked; !" whereas the hypocrite,
the monopolizer, the land SPECTATOR, the

vermin, hide themselves in antiquities
and reserves. Such is now the overwhelm-

the fair surface Of society, that poor truth
has no chunce, and she is obliged still to
keep her abode-the bottom of well!--
How does that accord with our yaunted
notions called civilized There again.

GAINESVILLE TENN, FRIDAY AUGUST Z 1857.

NEW ORLEANS TIMES ON BUcK.-The
New Orleans Times, hitherto somewhat
silent on political affairs, has broken
ground and declares, in view Of Buchanan S
treachery to the South, that our only "safe-
ty will be found in Southern Coufedera-
ton" The Times says:
Years ago, when Mr.. Buchanan was in
the United States Senate, he declared in
his speech on the admission Of Texas as a
slave State, that he voted for the measure
because it would tend to drive slavery
across the Rio Grande. 1t was deemed at
the time by the Southern men, that Mr..
Buchanan found it expedient to speak
thus in order to pacify the North. He
voted for US with the conviction that the
vote would eventually turn against US,
This is expediency, the meanest word
in politician 5 vocabulary. Expediency
is made up Of treachery in deceit, and will
feign to be with us to-day and really act
against US tomorrow. 1t is utterly devoid
of moral courage; it .GanRot stand one
hour of university, but must ever bask in
the sunshine of success. Doubtless Mr..
Buchanan thinks the North is stronger
than the South, and therefore wishes to
win her smiles by giving Kansas to
the Freesoilers.
Mr.. Buchanan has made his first move,
and has lost the confidence of thousands
of his warmest friends. The South will
henceforth look with suspicion on his
every action. The South must do more
she must prepare for the comming contest
our foes are already organizing for the
struggle, and our only safety will be found
in Southern Confederation.

A GRAPHIC PICTURE.-The Aberdeen,
Miss, South, holds the following truthful
language in speaking of Kansas:
There seems to be singular fatality in
regard to this Territory. The four indi-
viduals selected to settle the difficulties
in Kansas, have all proved incompetent to
the task, and the troubles in the Territory
are daily multiplying instead of being di-
unfinished. Reeder was the first Governor
appointed; and, after short but infamous
career of six months, he returned from
the field amid the curses of an outraged
people.
Wilson Shannon, drunken vagabond
from Ohio, was next appointed. He was
q cit successor to the notorious Reeder;
and, after a short career of drunkenness
and debauchery, he reeled out of the State
to give way to the staid and sober. John
W. Geary. But he, too, although true
and patriotic man, was unequal to the task,
and he left in disgust. Robert j. Walker
was the next individual the President Sc
lected.
This gentleman was pressed upon the
President by the Southern people, on ac-
count of his having once been Southern
man, and always consistent champion Of
Southern rights But it seems that even
Walker, who accepted the nomination un.
der such fattering auspices of good, is
about to provo treacherous to the South by
shamefully abadoning those great princi.
pies of non Intervention which was the
watchword and shibboleth of the Demo.

test.

A LESSON IN POLITENESs.

A country layman killed a fatted calf. and, as
in duty bound, sent a hind quarter of it to the
parson of the parish, by his young son, who was
minus many of the graces which are acquired in
in polite circles. The DO loaded his shoulder of
veal, around which his careful mother had pinned
a clean napkin, and carried it to the parsonage.
The door was opened to his sturdy knock, and he
entered, when the following scene occurred
Boy.-Here's a quarter of veal dad sent ye.
Parson.-I am very thankful for the present ;
and, in return, l will endeavor to do you as good a
favor ; for / perceive you are lamentably wanting
in politeness. Do you take my seat, and III take
the meat, as if l were the boy who had been sent
with it, and you were the parson Of the parish.
Boy.-Yery well, old Teller, any thing to please
you.
Parson.-(G Going out wiM The meal, and returning
soith his hat in his left hand) Good morning to
your Reverence My father sends youths quar-.
ter of veal, with his kind regards, begging you
to accept it as a trihing testimonial Of his
high esteem for you, on account of your macy
virtues.
Boy,-(Feeling in his pocket.) Tell your father
I thank him kindly, and | will pay him the five
dollars l borrowed Of him, out of my next quar-
ter's salary. There, my good boy, is a quarter
dollar for yourself. Sit down and rest you-yor
must be tired.

WHEN WE HUsKED THE CORN.

October scorching fires the trees,
And naked lies the shivering vine;
While dimly Ger the distant sea
The fading lights of summer shine.
Along the lawn the negro blows
Deep summon on his MONDAY horn,
And homeward troop the girls and beaus
From husking of the corn.
I mind me we'll that autumn day,
When, FIVE and twenty years ago,
We turIed out labor into play.
and husked the corn for neighbor Lowe.
All! wife, we were the blithest pair
That e'er to welded love were born
For l was gay, and you were fair, .
A husking of the corn. f7tr.
o, how we sung, and how we laughed
Our hearts sat lightly on our lips, ever
AS we the golden cider quaffed,
And passed tho bowl with rusty quips.
And when sly hints of love went round,
You glanced at me with pouting scorn,
Yet smiled, although you fain would frown,
A busking of the corn.
Then when l found the scarlet ear,
And claimed the old traditioned kiss,
You babe me not approach to near.
And plea ded that and pleaded this
Away you led, and l pursued,
Till all too faint you were to warn.

ter, dated at ~Lecompton, Nov. 2, from it's cores
pondent Alexis. Tins letter says that ONE days
previous Walker had, a la Geary, left Lecompton,
nominally for Lawrence, but reall for Washington.
The pro'SiaVery men OF the Territory are Boosting
that the President will not sustain Walker in the
rejection of the frauds of Oxford Precinct and
McGee county. The Democrats correspondent
says:
walker has become a doomed man-a price
is upon his head--and | doubt whether he is per
sonally safe in Kansas. YOU may expect him in
St. Louis in a day or two.
p. S.-There is a wheel within a wheel, and
George Sanders, of diplomatic notoriety, is now
in The Territory. What does it mean? Is he tc
succeed Walker?'

WORTHY OF CoNsIDERArIoN.-The average an
nual imports of cotton and wooden manufactures
are about fifty millions Of dollars the average
annual imports of iron, manufactures of iron, and
steel are about twenty-five millions Of dollars the
average annual import of manufactures of silk
are about twenty-five millions of dollars total one
hundred millions.
There is no actual necessity for importing a
dollars worth of cotton and WOODEN goods, because
we manufacture them ourselves and there is no
actual necessity for importing a dollars worth of
iron because We have enough of that in Pennsyl.
vania, Maryland and Virginia to supply not only
ourselves, but the residue Of the world and
there is 20 very pressing necessity to import SO
largely of manufactures Of silk.
Without entering into arguments, it is merely
suggested that if the imports Of the articles under
these three heads were reduced one-half-say fifty
millions of dollars-there would be no occasion
for panics and financial reyulsions. ErportinQ
fifty millions of dollars in gold per. annum is a
serious matter to any country we can stand most
things, but not that long. Importing fifty millions
of gold annually is quite another affair, and this
or any other country can stand that to the end OF
time, as under it there would be no panies and re,
vulsions. -Naiional Latetigeneer.

THE ANTI-SLAvERY BUGLE.
TACT AND TALENT.

Since tact may be acquired and talent cannot be,
the following scrap may he of service to some
young man who is conscious Of not having cover
much' natural gifts: - ..
Talent is something, but tact is everything
Talent is serious, sober, grave and respectable,
tact is all that, and more too. For all the practi-
cable purposes of life, tact carries il against talent
ten to one. Take them to tho bar aud let them
shake their learned curls at each other in legal
riyalry-taleu sees its way clearly, but tact is first
at its journeys end. Talent has many a compli,
ment from the bench, but tact touches free from
attorneys and clionts. Talent speaks learnedly
and logically, tact triumphantly. Talent makes
the world wonder that it gets on no faster, tact
excites astonishment that it gets on so fast and
the secret is that it has no weight to carry. it makes
no false steps; it hits the right nail on the head; il
looses no time, it takes all hints; and by keeping
its eyes on the weather cock, is ready to take adj
vantage Of every wind that blows. Take them
into the church. Talent has always something
worth hearing, tact is sure of an abundance OF
hearers. Talent gets a good name, tact a great
one. Talent is an honor to tho profession, tact
hon )r from the profession. Take them to Court.
Talent feels its weight, tact finds its way. Talent
commands, tactis obeye0. Talent is honored with
appreciation, and tact is blessed by p~referment,-
Place them inthe Senate. Talent has the ears OF
the House, but tact wins its votes. Talent is fl
for employment, but tact is fitted foriit. 1t has q
knack of slipping into a place with a sweet silence
and glibness of movement as a billiard ball insinu
ates itself into the pocket. 1t seems to know eve
rytbing without learning anything. 1t has ser
we'd an invisible and extempore apprenticeship
1t wants no drilling. 1t never ranks in the awk
ward squad. 1t has no left hand, no deaf ear, nj
blind side. Talent is certainly q very fine thinl
to talk of. n very glorious eminence to look dowr
from, but tact is useful, portable, applicable, al
ways alive, alert, always marketable; it is TIT
talent of talents, the availableuess of resources
the applicability of power, the eye of discrimina
ton, the right hand of intellect.
