old man without the purest sympathy, Tor
to them he was always associated with the
memory OF his three gallant sons, who IN
all the pride and bloom Of manhood, offered
themselves on the altar Of their country, with
the last breath commencing their beloved
parents to the care of that God who i better

the upshot of the whole matter IS, that the

We are very glad to see it stated in the
Savannah Republican that the wearing Of
clothes manufactured and made up at the
South is becoming fashionable i'll Savannah.
1t is the influence and direction of .ta$hton
in the matter of "homespun" that has been
wanted all this time. If the ladies will on
ly make it the ton to wear insey woolsey,
and the gentlemen follow S1sit, by regarding
it as the thing, to wear domeShcS, the whole
matter will be accomplished. Not an i'm
practicable "non-intercourse" altogether, but
reliance upon "home made" which will
gradually enable our manufacturers TO sup
ply the demand for clothing and teach our
people TO look to them for their supplies
The ladies will look just as charming IN the
goods turned out from the mills Of the Sonth,
as they now do, in the fabrics prepared
for them at the North and il Europe
And az for the Southern men, they will,
every mothers son of them, be more deserv-
ing in the eyes of those whom they should
seek TO please, by wearing home&pun and
nothing but homespun. Just as good, and
serviceable, and twice as cheap goods, for
wear, can he made and bought in this State
as are procured from the wooden and cotton
