In this Library, access is had to large num-
Der Of works Of prime character, on the vari- I
GUS branches of farm and garden husbandry,
on the natural sciences, on fruits, flowers

No private library is likely to contain fifth
part of those works which, by this library ,ev-

his necessities and tastes. We see by the
that each member can have out

Tone of the Southern Press.

The prevailing, though not Intentionally

favor Of admitting that the Confcderacy has
received blow from which 1t is doubtful
whether i can recover. Those events which
it was foreseen would prove most destructive
to the rebellion, should they occur. have
taken place, and with them comes the con-

the spirit of the rebels is broken, it is not too
