Of four story iron front buildings occupying
the old post office site, and extending from
Jefferson to Adams on Second, are rapidly sp-
preaching a state Of eowFlstious and will be
ready for tenants in a few days. These build
ings cover half a square, and they are an evil
denee Of the progressive spirit which is
abroad in our city. The two elegant four story
iron front buildings on the south side Of Court
square are an ornament to that portion Of the

stand that two other buildings Of like style

the coming summer. The Overton and Cal
houn blocks will undoubtedly be rebuilt this
season, and several other fine buildings are
projected. These indications do not seem to
warrant the assertion Of some Of Our eotem-
pOraries, that rents were coming down in
Memphis. While placards are said to indi-
cate that a large proportion Ofthe buildings in
other western commercial cities are untenant-
ed, we venture to say that there are not now
three business houses, or as many dwellings,
unoceupied in our city.

A SONG OF 81.
Sons Of the South, awake arise
Thu day Of your freedom at length Is near ;
Weary ewes have watched the skies,
Waiting it's dawning, and it is here.
Hs,k to the trumpet call that rallies
Shoulder to shoulder each gallant band;
Como from the hills and come from the valleys
10 fight for your homes and native land.
No wor,hier theme has ever inspired
The ststes,nan's tongue or the poets pen;
NJ nob!er boon was ever desired
To make the blood leap in the veins Of men {:
Oar land, whose banner is floating DOR US,
Oar homes, which ruthless fees assail-
For those we love best-for the mothers that
It's the cause of Right, and it will prevail.
True to others, but false to sell,
We thought too little of honor and PRIDE;
We had nearly trafickcd away for pe!i
The freedom for which our fathers dieu;
They called US brothers and p~rofered tae KISS,
While they held the dagger ready 10 smite:
We trusted them long, but We trusted amlss,
And now at last We know them Alright
We cave them truth, they returned US lies;
we gave them love, they repaid it with hate;
We shared our bread with their household
spies,
And still our motto was, "Trust and Wait
Lulled to sleep by the honeyed theme,
Closer and closer our bonds were pressed,
Blu. the bias, Of the trumpet breaks the dream,
And the fash of steel will do the rest.
We will meet them in fair and open fight
Nc dastard's rage to our cause belongs;
Te trust to our Saoord to maintain our rfpht
ne leare it to God to Grsnge our rrongs.
Shoulder your rifles then! tarry no longer,
Fall into your ranks at the bugle call:
The love Of a nation for those who conquer,
The tears Of a nation for those who tall.
For those no titles they need to borrow
Beloved by the land they have helped to
save:
For these-the emblems Of triumph and sorrow,
TIE palm and the cypress, shall mark this
grave.
And in after days when their children praise
The gallant deeds which their sires have
done,
They shall add with pride They molly died
Fighting for Freedom in ~sixty.one"
