In memory Of MISS MAGGIE E. BREvARp. .oko
died near Fairriew, n. C., Apra sth, 80.
Sweet Maggie! thou alas has gone to God.
I've looked my last on thy calm, pale brow.
And laid thy precious dust beneath the sod -
Earth was no home for one so pure as thou.
On, God how desolate now seems the home
Thou helped to makeso happy, glad and bright;
cannot bear through those sad rooms to
roam,
Where tokens of our lost one mock my sight
Think not will forget thee in my hear,
Thou art enshrined while life remains,
Twas agony ever from thy dust to part.
Though well we know for thee to die is gain.
Gone, gone to God Thy home is with Him
now,
And with the angelic host around His throne
They've crowned with glory that cherub brow
And claimed the brightest loveliest for their
own.
Think not we grieve for thee, redeemed from
sin,
Thy happy soul can never know griefs power,
| would not, If could, our Maggie win
Back to this sad earth for one short hour,
But oh! that were with thee up in Heaven.
WITH eager longing prayeth my sad heart,
Grant Lord, my sins and follies all forgiven
her may meet above, neer more to part.

Reply to "Boanergesn

Mr. BRITToN An "individual' calling
himself Boanerges," has made himself no
torlous, by appearing in the columns of the
the Bulletin, IN defence of the distillers and
tnelr infamous traffic. Because wronged wo-
men have been driven by stupid and drunken
legislators, to take things in their own hands
and smashed in the heads of few "unoffen-
ding whiskey barrels" they must be compar
ed 10 mlschlevous mobs and the women of
the French Revolution. There is a great
national difference between the women of
France, and the women of America. were
not this the case and women were possessed of
the same excitabe temperament which urged
the women OF Fronce to commit deeds ofbIood
then, there would be the shadow of an
excuse for Boanerges" imagination being
wrought to such a pitch as to conceive there
was another reign of terror not far distant
He may quiet his fears his head is still
safe, $50 far as the women are concerned
notwithstanding it may sometimes become
unsteady IN consequence of having imbibed
some OF the contents OF an unoffending"
WhIskey barrel. If b. wants the laws Of
ms country fespeoteG and o5eyed, there is
no better way OF having it done than hv
aiding the country women in putting dow
the distillers; for are they not the cansa
of more broken hearts, broken heads All
broken laws than any other agency, "Idla
and in want of employment" That was
the unkindest act of all ! Where has Ro
anerges been since the war begun that h..
thinks the women of the South are in want of
employment, and in consequences have become
mischief makers and law breakers? Not in tho
camp surely, or he would have had unmist,~
kaole evidence that they had been emplovad
and that to good purpose The stitching
knitting, spinning, and weaving with which
we have been " idly" passing our time shall
never be used to clothe the form of a drunkard
apoogser while we have hand to raise or
voice to speak against it.
Not having the honor to belong to the nobIs
band ofwomen who so bravely and patrioticaI,
ly took things in their own hands, / cannot bnt
applaud them, and hope they will continue
the good work until there is not drop 6 the
precious stuff left.

L. S.-There is Militia Colonel IN hero
IN the brushy mountains, member of the
late malicious Legislature, young. able

to say he did not blame men for not WANTING
to go to the war; that it was very hard for
them to leave their families to go and face
the cannon's mouth. At the same time this
brave man (who. has not volunteered } has
four large stills in operation, and is retailing
spirits to these same men, while he drink
it himself by the wholesale What do Won

sherman. II has learned to trust in his skill,
and to be proud Of his valor, and under no 9TH

tie. Gen. s., in his address, spoke TO US feel
ingly, and in terms Of the highest praise. He
regretted TO part with us, but duty called and
he must go. He trusted we should ameet again
soon, near Vicksburg or Jackson" He goes to
conduct a column down the Mississippi, which
is to act in concert with the army here.
Brig. Gen. Lanman goes back to his old Di-
vision, and for the present we are in no dvis-
ion, but romain sort of independent brigade.
Gen. Smiths Division leaves us, going with
Gen. Sherman. Changes Of organization are so
frequent Of late, one can hardly keep trace Of
them.

Cotton speculation runs high, and cotton

fortunes.
