While on this subject we may as we'll admit that our ps- per did not come out last week, of this fact all are advised; but why should we make apolo- gles about this? How could we help it?

Going North.

For number of years pastit has been the habit of nearly all of our southern planters merchants, and others, to make annually north. erntour, They visited generally the most fash inable watering places of that section, remained several months, and expended large amounts of money. Proverbially geu erous. and often reckless, their hcgira from their southern homes always created sensation. The cute Yankee watched with intense anxiety their coming, they were aprey to every species of imposition, and became the ready prey for all classes of money hunting vampires, from the humble Uriah Heep boot black, up to the superoious dealer in silks and broad cloth. The consequence was they went north with pockets full of money and re- turned with them fuli of emptiness. The means which should have been expended iu beautifv- ing and adorning their own homes, in aiding the moral intellectual, and physical development, ot their own people, and section; in collecting around them the treasures of genius and art, unspent ID the vain pursuit of pleasure at crowd ed hotels, and upon dusty rail-ways all genuine home feeling was thoroughly eradicated bv this periodical emigration, and worse than this, so- clety become disorganized, and iemoralized by the absence of those who were by their natural position it's natural leaders and supporters.- But things are changed, and if the slavery agi- tation has had no other beneficial influence, it has at least operated to check this growing dis position to seek enjoyment in the northern States. We leave at the south many as healthy localities, as any to be found elsewhere, and as well Ii no better adapted for pleasant summe CT residences. This fact is beginning to be appre- clated, and the result is but few of our people are to be found, at Saratoga or elswhere.''
 The following article from the Arkansas Ira veler will answer very we'll for this locality.- They are here as thick as leaves in Vallam- brosa::"

They spread over the trees from the lowest branches to the top twigs, and destroy every leaf, leaving the trunk aud branches covered and wrapped up in their web They attack the tallest trees, as we'll as the dwarf shrubs. aud destroy whatever they attack.
 We notice also in town many of the shade trees in the lots covered with them. They should be destroyed, to preserve the trees and shrubbery."

THREE PERSONS PoIsoNED.-The Clayton (Ala.)
Banner, states that in Barbour county, Ala, three
members of family named Davis, residing In the
neighborbood Of Midway, died suddenly, and with
symptoms strongly indicating that they had been
poisoned. A post mOrtem examination showed
that the liver, stomach and bowels were peculiarly
affected, which caused q strict examination to BE-
made of the food in the house, when it was dis
covered that lead Was thoroughly mixed with the
meal they had been using. The mill from which
it was obtained had lead about the machinery,
which Was by some means worn off in grinding
and mixed with the meal. We suppose that the
meal ground Tor this family. by accident, got
greater quantity Of the lead than any other which
had been ground there, or others would have been
afected by II.
