The Food Question an the south,


The anxiety manifested in JEFF Davis
appeal for corn planting in the south lie
justified by reports from all quarters. The
Richmond Wing attempts to ridicule the
late bread riot there, aud says it was got
up for political effect and not because any
body is suffering for food, but it con
fesses the alarm of the rebel leaders when
it says:-
"Better thousand fold that the Yam
KEGS should ply their lying arts with all
the aid the disafected here can give them.
than than that the people should see that
the government of Jefferson Davis is tim
orous about anything on earth. The PEG.
pie are manly; so should their Government
be, and put q bold, calm face on every
thing. If anything could be "kept back %

folly of attemptingit. Have we gotten SO

The difficulty of transportation, which
is one cause of the suffering in the South
as acknowledged in Davis appeal, is con!
stantly increasing. The Richmond papers
state that the railroads are fast giving ont.
and there is no material for their repair.
An animated debate in the Georgia legis-
lature, one day last week, on proposition
to limit the cultivation of cotton, brought
out some interesting statements
Mr.. Hester of Ebert, was the champion
OF cotton. He spoke of the healthy con-
dltion OF the army with quarter of a pound
Of meat day, at the present time, and of
their readiness to- tight the enemy. He was
asked by Mr.. Trammell of Cato0sa, if he
attributed such condition OF the army to
the circumstance of their being fed on
one-tOurth rations. Mr. Hester ridicnled
the idea of there being starvation before
us. He vreily believed members we're eat

time they will not have anything to eat

picture be reversed. Let such well fed
persons go aud subject themselves for one
month, if they can, TO the scanty fare of
poor women and children in some of our
upper counties, and we are sure such per.

That foul and revolving creation OF evil
times, the great Ohio Copperhead, SO nau-
seous reptile that even the rebel Confed-
eracy, which stomachs Floyd and Benja-
min, was obliged to eject him in haste,
has wriggled his way at last--appropri-
ately-to British territory, and coilsd up
on the rocks at Niagara Falls, now spits
his venom aud Kisses his complaints
across the water, furious because he can
not again plunge his poisonous fangs isto
the life of his Country, mad with rage
because he cannot do something more to
betray it to new horrors. The attempt is
impotent. The Government-thsnks be
to Gods in the ascendency. Copper
headism has jumped its length, and ha,
buried its tangs in lis oion heart. 1t per-

will meet with the response he seems to
have expected. So long as Copperhead
ism merely Kissed and threatened, SO long
a maguanlmous and great people might,
to some extent, tolerate il as one of the
lesser evils Of the times; but when it
emerged from its den with flaming eyes
and crest erect, to deal death to all who
disputed its prerogatives, it challenged
every honest citizen. every lover of his
country. to put his heel upon it's head !;
to crush it on. of existence az the foul
thing it showed itself to be.

BE GENTLEMAN AT Honx.-There
are few families, We imagine, anywhere.
In which love is not abassd for furnishing
license for impoliteness. A husband
father or brother, will speak harsh words
to those be loves best, and that love HIM
best. simply because the security Of love
and family pride keep him from getting
his head broken. Il is shame that a
man will ever speak more impolite to
them than to other females. except low
and vicious one 1t is thus that the hon
est affection OF mans nature proves to
be weak protection to woman: who il
usually indebted for all the kindest marks
OF consideration and politeness to those
who do not belong to her own household
Things ought not to be so. The man
who, because it will not be resented in
fiicts his spleen and bad temper upon
those OF his own hearthstone, is a small
coward, and very mean aud contempt.
Die man. Kind words are circulating
mediums between true gentlemen and la.
dies at home, and no polish in society
can atone for the harsh language and dis.
respectful treatment too often INDUCED in
between those joined together by God !
own ties of blood, and the still more "a
cred bonds of conjugal love.
