GEMS OF SOUTHERN LITERATURE.


Not the least interesting for their novelty is the adver
semcnts OF the rebel newspapers The war seems to
have changed almost entirely the tone in the advertising
columns Of the Southern journals. They seem now mostly
filed with military orders emanating from the bogus
ocals, proposals for materials, wanted TO
do the work that white formerly performed, me
chanes and aborers sought for by the hundreds, sIbs
tutes wanted at high prices and rewards for deseres
We give below specimen of the advertisements con-
tanned of the Richmond papers of the 1st Instant
and should like to present number of others if our
room would permit. but for tho present think the
following will suffice
