GREAT MEN IN SOUTHERN
HISTORY


If we look at the character of those dis
tinguished persons of the nation who may
be deemed historical, there are names that
certainly will live as long in history and
in marble in the South as in the North
Yea, there is one Southern name with
which there is none to compare either in
the North, or in the world. We can speak
of the incompatible Washington" that
the Northern colonies were SO ready to
have as commander in chief of the Ameri-
can forces in the war of the Revolution,
and who was unanimously elected the first
President of the United States of Ameri-
ca. OF the fifteen Presidents of the
United States, eight of them were South
ern men. And where is the man that will
not agree with us, that the names of Wash
ington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jack
son, Tyler, Polk and Taylor, are quite as
illustrious as those of the Adamses, Van
Buren,, Harrison, Fillmore, Pierce and
Buchanan? If the North has produced a
Samuel Adams, Hamilton, Story, and
Webster, the South has given birth to a
Patrick Henry, Pickney, Marshall, a
Calhoun and Clay. If the North has
given to the country more distinguished
scholars and authors, the South has yield
ed more than its share of the most dis
tinguished generals, statesmen and politi-
clans.

FLY IN THE WHARF.-The Rutherford

FLY IN THE WHEAr.-The Rutherford
Telegraph says:
We learn from our country friends that
the wheat cropin this region is very much
injured by the fly. This is disaster that
had not been anticipated, and falls heavi-
ly upon the farmers.
WHEAT.-We regret to learn, says the
Athens Post, that the early wheat was Sc
riously damaged by the recent frosts. A
gentleman of this vicinity informs us that
he has one field totally destroyed. The
fly and worm are said to be injuring it in
other neighborhoods
WHEAT CRoP.-We are now satisfied
that the wheat crop in this section of coun-
try is, as general thing, nearly failure.

the water rushing through at terrific rate,
and with roar that can be heard for
miles. This is by FAR the worst break that
has yet occurred, as it will certainly inun-
date great portion of the Parishes of
