! ihe 'piio"ihg Is TOO good to be lost in
these grave times. The editor of the Ob-
Server CAME to the conclusion that the ed.
itor ofthe Fayette County Democrat ought
to be hung, and thereupon he recon-.
mends that the treatment be adopted in
the Democrats case; upon which the cul-
prit remarks as follows: ...,...
TO BE OR NOT TO Be HUYc.-The Ob
Serrer recommends forming q Vigilance
Committee to hang traitors, and stigma.
tizes US as being traitor. We enter our
solemn protest against being treated in
this unchrislirn manner. When we shut.
iie Oft this mortal COIL we don't want a
coil OF hemp around our neck. Its very
lnconvenient, to say the least of it, But
to return to our sIbject
we would not die in summer time
mo, no. Not when the flowers are
blooming and bursting their tender petals
to the sun, and the sweet forest warblers
greet the dawning day with rustic song
and cheering ray, and when the fishes
bite so beautiful, and all nature looks so
gay, and when we have cast new roller.
Toy the way, don't the inside of our pa.
per look better this week than usual y
and just ordered lot of new type-DIE
NOW! and leave all these and never ge,
TO wear any more new clothes be hung
upon tree,
For little boys and girls to jeer at
And the noisy raLble in the street to
sneer at!
"N"ry time! Egypt is great place for
Democrats. but they can't be raised on
trees
The editor of the Observer never liked
u.s. we have been IN his way to some ex-
tent; and now he wants TO get revenge
That's what's the matter lie wants to
have us killed so lie can get to publish the
tax list. Oh you scamp! you cannibal
you plurderous plcttet you carni, erous
cuss! You ought to be ashamed ofyour-
self"
The GREAT EAsTERN.-The n. Y. Tmcs
has an interesting letter from one of the
passengers of the Great Eastern from
which wo gather the following facts
First, the Great Eastern was sent to sea,
literally prepared for nothing" Sec
ond, the storm was not furious one, and
it is en- record that the Persia and anoth,
er ocean steamer which were exposed to
it reached this country without damage or
delay. Third, the articles in the vessel
from anchors ard olstan&s to tables and
toot-stools, were wholly uuiastened -
Fourth, the Great Eastern rOled feartully.
even in moderate sea having no ballast,
and on y two on three hundred tons OF
cargo. Fifth, the paddles were so weak
that they were soon beaten to pieces.
Sixth, the baggage was smashed to bits"
because it was LAID down in one of the
conpartments, without being secured and
stored, ana was dashed from side to side
in foot of wateE until it was all ground
up into fragments. Seventh ever thing
in the Saloons and dining-rooms were al
so reduced to q deJris o: the character.
Eighth: the safety of the vessel was ow>
ing, under God, to Mr.. Towle, an Amer,
lean engineer, and one of tho passengers,
who contrived and fitted up steeringap-
paratus but the captain and his head en-.
ginoer endeayored to deprive Mr.. Towle
of the credit of his skin and readiness,
and the English portion of the passengers
sided with the captain Lastly, "fifty-
two cases of fracture occurred, besides
several broken legs, arms, a collar. bone,
wrist, &c.
1t is scarcely probable, whoever else
may venture to sea in that gigantic fail
ure, the Great Eastern, that any rational
American will run the risk 10 do so
would look like tempting Providence.
The New York papers publish appeals
to the charitable, soliciting olo,hiog and
other neceSsaries for the Confederate rris-

confined on Governors Island.
