WHAT DREADFUL. THINGS THEY WILL DO.
The Marietta tGa) Adcoca,e tells lis that, in case
Lincoln and bis Administration choose war with the
South one of the first STEPS in Southern enterprise will
be the issuing of school-books and other works that
have been copyrighted by Northern men. From this
source alone an immense profit has been annually drawn
from the Southern people. Another measure would be
the establishment Of works for the manufacture Of
Northern patented articles. seWmg-lnhcnlne lot
which the Northern patentee receives $50, can be
made for $40. The Southern maker can cell for so,
and realize enormous profit So with Colt pistols,
or Sharp's rifles, agricultural implements, and
hundred other things. And this would be as nothing
compared with the cutting up OF Northern commerce
by pryateers. The Southern people can stay at nome
and destroy the North. They stand on the deien'
sive. They await an invasion. But, when ~ COM
mences they will strike the North in every vulnerable
point.
A MONKEY WITHOUT AN ORGAN.
. Browne of the defumct Washington Consf'taf'o"
is irving 10 get JEFF Davis to establish an organ at
Montgomery. The Augusta Sentinel stouily Objects
and hopes "that President Davis will set his lace
against this organ business and especially against such
a man as Browne. But suppose there is no Danger
as Browne is already provided for-has place IN the
kitchen"
