THE NEXT GOVERNOR.

We are determined to avoid if
possible, a contest even among
friends, for the office of Governor.
And the best way to do this is for
us all to unite on Gov. Harris and
urge him to serve another term.
If this is not done the probability
is we shall have several candidates
in the field, sowing the seeds for
future strifes. Gov. Harris has
borne himself patriotically in the
present troubles Of the country,
and, from his official position fully
understands the whole issue; he is
unquestionably the man for the
times, and we would be glad to see
the press all over the State speak
out for him. Whilst old parties
had an existence we were ever op-
posed to Gov. Harris and the par
ty with which he acted-but the
causes which then divided us, as
Wings and Democrats, no longer
exist, and so far as we are concern
ed we shall try and forget that par
ties ever divided us. A man in
this solemn hour of the struggles
Of the South to suffer his preju-
dices engendered in past times, to
influence his action now, is want
ing In the true measure of patriot

TIE Man with a Sake in bis Hat.


DR.. Dixon, In his n. Y. MONTHLY
Scalpel, states that a gentleman Of
the highest veracity relates to him
the following snake story, which
beats anything we have read lately:
Going into a very public ordina-
ry for his dinner, he was surprised
to observe the extra care with
which a gentleman who took the
seat opposite to him took Of his
hat; he turned his head as nearly
upside down as possible without
breaking his neck; then placing his
hand over the inside of his hat, he
again turned it, and received its
carefully guarded contents, con-
cealed by a pocket handkerchief, in
his hand, then gently laying the
back of his hand on the cushion,
he slid the hat and its contents off
and commenced his dinner. The
attention of my friend was irresist-
ibIy directed toward the hat, and
his surprise greatly increased, the
reader may well imagine, on OBJ
serving the head of a sizable snake
thrust out and looking sharply a.
bout him. The gentleman per-
ceiving the discovery, addressed
linn:
.'My dear sir, Twas in hopes to
have dined alone and not to annoy
any one with my poor pet. Allow
me to explain: He is perfectly
harmless-only a common black
snake. Twas. advised to carry him
on my head for rheumatism; l have
done so for a few weeks, and | am
cured-positively cured of a most
agonizing malady. | dare not yet
part with him; the memory Of my
suferings is too vivid; all my care
is to avoid discovery and treat my
pet as well as possible in his irk-
some confinement. / feed him on
milk and eggs, and he does not
seem to suffer. Pardon me for the
annoyance-you have my story.
1t is true. | am thankful to the
informer for my cure, and to you
for your courtesy in not leaving
your dinner, disguised"

FIRE Low-The following par
agraph from the Philadelphia Bul-
letin, intended for the Northern
army, contains advice which may
not be unworthyof Southern peru
sal:
1t seems like almost unncces-
sary caution, but every days news
is demonstrating its Importance.
Whether with cannon or small
arms, the tendency amonginexperi-
enced troops is to shoot oUeT Me
heads of the enemy. Even among
disciplined soldiers this is a con
slant fault. at the battle of
Fort Sumpter the rebels assert
that the shot went over their heads;
at Sewells Point the same thing
(according to them) occurred.
In the use of muskets, the rca-
son is evident; in bringing down
the muzzle to aim, the recruit, in
a state of unnatural excitement,
thinks he has it low enough, and
blazes away. One-sixteenth of an
inch, thus lost in correct sight,
make feet where the enemy are
and the best aims are thus render
ed useless. An Old Kentucky
General put the whole caution in
to a phrase more precise than elc-
CANT, when he cried 'Shin 'en,
boys!'
And Prescott, at Bunker Hill.
was equally explicit, but not quite
so exact, when he told his men to
fire at the ,roist5aDds. a fire di-
rected at the knees will gener-
ally strike the breast. In order
not to throw away your ball fire
low! OF course, we must be ur-
derstood to speak of battalion VOL
lies or firing by file, and not of
practiced sharp-shooters, who snuff
a candle at 100 yards, if such
there be among US.

matter Of army supplies, the most
deliberate and wholesale swindling
is practiced. Sixteen cents per
pound is paid for beef; $27 apiece
for old muskets that were sold by
the State Il few years ago for
about % cents each. The blank
cts furnished are only half blank
cts, and Of the worst possible ma
terial, and the mess pork cannot
be eaten. Robbery and plunder
is the order of the day with those
in power, and we advise them to
make all they can as soon as pos
sible. This war fever will not al
ways cover up your speculations,
and you shall be held to strict
accountability for your wrong do
ing. Steal while you may, for it is
your last chance. We hear it
stated that Gov. Curtin is inter
ested In the contracts for furnish
ing supplies. Can anybody tell
Us certainly whether that is so?

THE FIRST KISS.

I - =
One night as we sat all alone in the house,
| When her pa and her ma were abed,
When one could have heard the tread of &
mouse,
And there seemed nothing more to be sal l.
] wickedly put my arm round her waist.
Though had never done so before,
Intending to steal from ber sweet lips taste,
And if got one, to take no more.
She struggled AID called me all names but o
knave,
And biushed ike cloud in the sun,
Then whispered, "be quiet, now-will you
behave?
l declare, Sir, you shall not have one -
Zone what?' inquired, as we paused il our
strife
All ! but that was the moment Of bliss.
The question confused, al d her bushes were
rife,
When snatched from her lips the FIRST kiss
She didn't mean Tat, and was right nsean--
Not half SO nice as my brother,
And thO'l should stay till the sun could be seen
She never would give me another.
II she was as good asher word can't tell,
For think much too high of my love;
Enonoh that she siohad and only sail EsV;-
And then was as tame as dove.

The telegraph announces that
"Wm. Webb, of Tennessee" has
been appointed consul at Tangiers,
l,v the Lincoln Government. We
presume it is ex-Gov. Webb, of
Ohio, who resided year or two
since at Knoxville, and was forced
to leave there on account of his
abolition sentiments, and took up
lis residence In Illinois. -
