TIE RIGHT SPIRIT.

ME. EDlroE: rcccivi>! IL letter a few DAYS
ago from lady sixty eight years Of age, now
residing in Mobile, Ala, cnd formerly IL resident
of Ahhovil!e Dist, where she now has many
relatives and friends living. The tenor of her
letter brenthes such genuine patriotism, that
venture to publish an extract. Speaking of
the prcscn. troublous times she says:
sit was in the evening when despatch
came. saying Alabama had seeded, and forth.
with one hundred guns wero ircl at half past
SIX one hundred and fifty more were fired, and
the greatest excitement prevailed. All the no.
tells. and n'n"y private houses, were illuminated
and the lone. star banner, which l assisted in
making, waved gracefully on the--IIouse.
believe there are two thousand volunteers in
the city Of Mobile. every man of whom is ready
to go 10 attack Fort Pickens, which am tod
is yet in The hands Of the United States. and
the commanding officer says he will not surren.
der. A great many soldiers have just arrived
by the boats and the cars, and MS they passed
our house, felt like giving each of them
good shake Of the hand. and bid them each
"God 'peed." The cannon has been firing oil
day and the last thought of each citizen seemed
to be. that 1t was the Sabbnth. Ifnll these sol.
dicrs go and attempt to take Fort Pics.ns. I
tear there will he blood she'd. I pray not.
trust the good Lord may overlook favorab!y
these terrible times. My two boys have both
volunteered. and they as dear TO me Ms lite,
yet w"u'l not .letnin them a moment. No.
no, il necessary. | would 80 with them and
mould i!.e'r bullets for them"
Did more patriotic sentiments ever nestle in
tEe bpsom ot Martha Washington, Madame
Madison, or Mrs. Mott, or any Of the hcroines
"t the revo iu'i"hary or any other days2. No,
Mr. Edit":. there is 10 degeneration among
our wo'nen at least. There Lreaths now
throughout the South many soul as patriotic

CUR PREMIUM LIST.

ME- FDIToH: The january number of the
Farmer and Planter contains the Premium List
OF The AbbeviIle District Agricultural Society
for 1861, which hope all of your readers, and
all of the readers Of the Banner, and all the
other readers in the District, if there nre any,
have seen and read ere this.
If oil the readers In the District have seen
and read II, presume all such readers sub
scribe to that excellent monthly. for surely no
man Who can read would borrow an agricul.
tural paper, when for single dollar he can get
twelve numbers, each Of which is wcr.h to
him the cost Of the Whole. If there are any
readers in the District who do not subscribe to
the Farmer and Planter, let ME beg of those
readers to do so al once. If you are tobac.
co.chewing, or sfgar-smok ing reader, just for
one week drop these filthy habits, and you
will save money enough to pay for this paper
for twelvemonths. How short would be the self.
denial. and how long the pleasure of the pa.
perl The same could be said to those imbi-
bing readers; just forego the unnecessary
pleasure Of that next bottle of wine, or brandy,
or gallon of whisky, and let that money buy
you the Farmer and Planter.
Your citizens who are coming up to the Vii.
lage next Monday from Greenwood. or d own
from Donald's by Railroad just bring along
two dollar bill, give one to the railroad and
mail the other for the Farmer and Planter ;
and you, who come from intermediate stations.
mail your dollar bills while you are waiting
for the cars; and you who come up from tile
Savannah side Of the District, bring each one
dollar, and mail it here for the Farmer and
Planter.
That Premium List may be wort h five or
a ten dollar Premium to many of you, and If
the remaining eleven numbers of the Farmer
and Planter are not worth double the sub
scription price. just keep tho twelve numbers
until next fall, say 25th December,) and bring
them to The Village. and the subscriber will
take them from you, and refund You your
money. He will promise to meet you that day
in the office Of the Press if lie amt "kilt"
by Yankee gun, or carried off by some other
equally hideous monster.
People talk now of hard times. The above
proposition is certainly one for hard times.--
You subscribe one dollar;' 10 twslve months IL
pays You back two; il 10 don'f, then you get
ias ant crest oRyour investment tho reading of
