IlNhuDfH'
From The Rome SouihernT.
Mr.. I.iuLhorn-sur, a poet hay said that
"time united Waiteth fur no man" To my
opiuyun it are untido now and hasten ON
to that cycutlul peryud which you have
fixed when'Afriky are TO be onshackled,
when Niggurdum are to feel the power OF
your procklymash bun, when Uncle Tom are
, TO change his bese and eyacutae his kabin,
when all the emblcps of darkness are to
rush frantikaily forth into the arms ofihcir
deliyerers and with profound and sccnty
gratitude embrace your HeXcellency and
Madame llarycC Reechers Toe What Il
glorious day that are to bel What a sub
lin oory in historyl What proud Iul-
minashun and konsummashrn Of your
politikui hopes AFTER few thousand
hav klaspcd you IN their ebony armsit will
be Il fitten time, Mr.. Linkhorn, for you TO
lay yuurself down and die. Human Ham
bishun can hay no higher monument to
Cline Arier SUCH u work you might
kumplctc the immortal hcroism of your
karac:er byleapin from the topmost PIN
axle OF your glory and with spraddlcd and
extended limbs brake your shite polk neck
upon the ycarth below.
But alas for human folly: Also for all
subioonary things; our pcopul will not be-
lieye; these crazy rebels will not consider;
Chriemas are already here; only one more
week to slide away before We must part,
forever part with all our nigger heritage,
and yet our stubborne pepul knntinue to
buy emand SILL en-, and the shorter the
lease the higher the price they ere payin.
What 'iniatuashunl L do very believe
they will keep up their old ways until next
Wednesday night, jest as tho they didn't
have TO give Gnu oil up the next day mornin
before ybreaktas. Some say the stay law
affecks the niggors and will operate to
make en- stay at home; sum say you haint
.eot trausportashun nor rashuns ford mill
yuns Of darkies sum say your call are pre-
mature; but the majority are o. opinyun
that difficulty you met with Mt Frederick.
sburg have intcrfercd with your arrange.
ments and extended the time like q, siney
die.
Mr.. Linkhorn, sur--I forwarned you
about crossing them sickly rivers. The
Lee side of any shore are unhealthy to your
populashun; keep away from those Virginy
waterkorses, go around EN- or under en-,
but for the sake Of ekonomy don't try TO
cross. 1t are too hard upon your huryal
squads and ambulance bosses.
Mr.. Linkhorn, Sur-When are this war
to klose? How much longer can you re-
new your note Of 80 days which you sed
were time enuf to settle this difficulty; do
YOU pay the intrust? How much territory
hav you subjugatcd, what makes kotton
sell at 81 cents pound in your diggins;
amt it awful scace; what do your bony wo-
men do for stuffn and paddint? l heard
they had to llse straw and saw dust and
sich like, and thot it must be very pain
full to thar tender bozzomes to have to re-
sort to such coarse commodities; would
like to send you bale, but Governor
Brown would seize it, 1t are sod by many
that the war are about to kloss because OF
the Governors late raid on Leather. They
say the war begun with John Brown raid
in Virginy, ard will end with JnoBrown
raid in Georgia; allow not, for think
the Governor only tux that way of getting
the state rid Of its surplus, for he wanted
to drive it into the jiniu states where
things were scarcer | wonld like to sec
you pursonally. Mr.. Linkhorn, and hear
vou talk and tell, sum of YOUR funny
antidotes like you told Gov. Morehcad.
l laffed when read EN- till the tears. fairly
rained from my eye-iids; know l could
make my fortune Mr.. Linkhorn co6pilin
your VT; MqintI be your Boswell and foller
you about?
But fare the well my friend, and, before
you cross another rubikon advice you in
the eloquent language of Mr.. Burke exon
slider old COW. konsiderp
Yourn till Death.
BILL ARP.
