A MOrgan.Huntef.

1t appears hat Colonel Moora was in com.
mand of the brigade that surrendered SO
shamefully to John Morgan at Hartsville.-
We are not informed what State produced
this Colonel Moore. or what State sent him
to the wars, but we believe that he is one of
the new volunteers. We shall wait till we
see him 10 his nightcap before we trouble
ourselves to make many inquiries concern
ing him.
We suppose that good many of our citi-
zens remember this Colonel. He made a
speech in our city a few weeks ago-we
don't know on what occasion-in front of
the Galt House. At that time he was evil
IDENTIFY all on fire with the expectation Of
what he was going to accomplish. especially
in the way of aunhilating John Morgan.-
"Oh." said he, "just let me get after tn is
terrible Morgan that you all talk so much
about. and I'll settle his hash for him in the
shortest kind of order" Soon afterward be
set forth upon his expedition, inquiring
everywhere for NJ organ. Ofevery traveller
and every farmer that he met he demanded
"Have you seen Morgan?" All day ami
half the night it was Morgan" 1" Morgan.
Morgan When he YVES ordered to Harts-
vile be exclaime ed: II pray GOD may see
Morgan" He saw Morgan.
Colonel Moore is or was the climax OF
vanity. Like every other climax, he must
be capped.

boy, as was one day passing through the
market with my neigh5or Joe. I spied q

price. and was proceeding to buy it, whom
my brother exclaimed with q shrewdness
which shall never forget, t,-'look at t'cther

looked, and to my astonishmsnt it was
entirely rotten.
In passing through life, I have been fre-
quently benefited by this little admonition.
When hear the tongue of slandsr level
ing its venom against some fault or foibls OF
a neighbor, think, look ct t'other side,
Jim.' Be moderate-have charity. Per-
haps tho fault or fcible you talk so much
and so loudly of, is almost the only one in
your neighbours character, and perhaps you
have as great, or grester ones of your own.
it may be this is your neighbor's weak
side, and except this be is a good citizen, q
kind neighbor and affectionate father and
husband, and useful member Of society,"
Others may listen to the story of calumny,
but remember, they will fear and despise
the calumniator. Learn to overlook fault
in your friends-for perhaps you may wish
them to pardon fault in you.

Boy SwEETHEARTs.-A prudent young
man will at least let twenty-one years pass
over his head before he contemplates taking
upon himself the responsibility of the most
solemn engagement he will have to enter
into during the whole OF his life. Too early
MARRIAGES are repugnast to the laws of ma
ture and. with some rare exceptions, are
productive of unhappiness. Violent hres
soon extipguish themselves; and the man,
very often, after waking from the brilliant
dream of his youth, finds himself regrettlng
the rashness and imprudence he had com
mitted during that fascinating period. ne
love of the man is di.i-rent IN dua''ty 10
that Of the boy. and in many instances the
unfortunate wife has to endure the KNOW
ledoe that she is un!oved by her husband.
The experience which young man oil nine
teen has had to select wife with that sound
Judgment on so important an occasion. Is not
very extensive. His eyes are blinded by
passion. and the reflective power he can de-
vote TO such a crcu m stance is dazzled by
beauty of tace and figure, associated prob
abIv with accom- ishments more ornament
nj than useful When he i iscovers the mis-
take he has committed, all his wiie's per-
fectiops vanish, and he urjustly attempts to
throw the whole blame upon her shoulders
Such matches are unequal, and are the
couses of much misery afterwards. Three
or four wears will m axe greater differ
euce in the appearance OF woman than In
that of man; besides it is ridiculous to
mate a grown up woman with boy. Such
marriages offend social propriety. and tend
TO lessen the respect which is paid to p
social contract. Women. more sensible
than men in such m alters, invariably dislike
bow swee tn carts.

THE CONSERVATIVE oLIcY.-The Charles
ton Is. c. Courier Of recent date contains
paragraph, in which it states, on the author
ity of a released prisoner, who had been taken
on board one of the rebel privateers, and had
returned from New York, that the ''reaction
for peace in the north had been ''making
swift though silent progress" and further,
that meetings of secret organizations and
parties were held nightly" One of the par
ties, said to comprise very large number of
the most influential citizens, have put forth
the following remarkable propositions for a
termination of the war:
81. A cessation of all hostilities, or armis-
tice.
''2. Each party to pay its own debts.
''3. The resignation or deposition OF Abra-
ham Lincoln, and a new election in all the
states for new president.
81. All the rights of the south to be guar
antied by special amendments to the constitu-
ton and a reconstruction of the Union.
''5. Failing in the above, a general conven-
ton to be held, and the terms of separation
agreed upon, with treaty offensive and de-
fensive."
