THE EXCURSION OF THE 4TH OF JULY, 100 s
Being the Eighty Fourth Anniversary of the Dec
lsration ofIndependence. A Heroic Poem, in Nine
Cantos By the Poet Laureate of the Blue Bird
Club Nashville: Printed for Private Circulation
by John T. :. Fall 1860.
We find on our table pamphlet OF thirty
two pages bearing the above title. On the
Fourth of July, party of young gentlemen
of this city got into couple of yawls and
went up the Cumberland on pleasure excur-
sion. This ''work" is a history of the voyage
and its incidents The writer of it hardly pos
sesses as much OF the dirne o6fatus as did HON.
ER or MILTON least, considering that " The
Excursion of the Fourth of July, 1860" was
written under all the intellectul advantages
OF the Nineteenth Century, it cannot justly
be said to sdrpass, in poetic merit, either the
Illiad or Paradise Lost. 1t was evidently
written merely for the amusement of the
"Excursionists" and their friends. With
suchi of them as it requires very little 10
amuse, the effort of the writer was probably
successful,
This pamphlet Is printed on fine white nat-
zap paper-an extravaganza for which we
can see no sort of necessity. We have seen
much better poetry printed on much worse
paper; but We don't remember that we ever
saw worse poetry printed ON any sort OF
paper.

..rne Subscribers, goes Fishing.

Feeling a desire to take a little recreation
| and breathe the fresh air OF the country. the
| SUBSCRIBER, undeterred by the costly expert
| ence of the Inflated BRICKS. turned out last
week and went fishing. In justice TO his dis
| erection we must say that before he determln-
| ed to 90, be ascertained that BLYNNks was
not to be of the party-that the adrenturers
were to slip off quite early in the morning
and leave BLYNNKs behind.
The party, numbering some twenty-five
individuals, was made up TO drag a sem
through some of the famous holes in Syca-
more. a cool stream that empties its bright
waters into the Cumberland many miles be-
low the City of Rocks. OF the party the
SUBSCRIBER was one, aud sometimes as many
as two and three. But be does not propose
to give full account of the excursion, as III
such times of political excitement, when
public men are standing out in bold relief
before the great eye of the people, it becomes
the private gentleman to lie low and Keep
shady, creating no unnecessary stir IN The
public mind. That account must remain an
written for long years to come. The his
torian upon whose pen the task must deVciVe,
is lost or misla1d, and the most sanguine
among US dare not hope that he will be
found in time to give the present genera
ton the pleasure of reading his narrative.
The excursionists, with their long train of
carryells, reached the green shores OF Syca-
more in due course of travel. and throwing
off their dusty clothing, they were soon
splashing in the sparkling waters of the
stream. The SUBSCRIBER freely admits that
the barbarian who introduced tie sein
among the streams of Tennessee, thereby
rendering the hook and line the implements
of purer and better age, richly deserves to
be tarred and feathered and rode out of the
country on rail. But since the mischief
has been done-since there are men who
will drag the streams and spoil the sport
which comes of the hook and line-since
these things ,eiU be and overcome US like
summer cloud-the SUBSCRIBER trusts that
the virtuous and the good will not condemn
him for lending helping hand in the
sudden depopulation of the Sycamore, and
one or two other streams not far distant.
On the banks of the Sycamore the fisher
men camped for a day or two, and when that
stream refused longer to yield supply OF
fish, they struck their tents and crossed over
to Harpeth, near which they halted, and
once more cast their sein into the waters. At
every haul innumerable fish came forth, and
they had good time, living all the while
up to their eyes in clover.
