GOV. BoNHAM.

The following is an extract from the message
of Gov. Bonham of South Carolina:
elf the Confederate Government will put into
the field the most of the able bodied men be-
tween eighteen and ferty five now employed as
q quartermasters and commissaries, purchasing
agents, enrolling officers, and impressing agents,
and in other similar positions the great mass of
their places can be as well, and in many instan-
ces better filed by dis abled soldiers. and if the
State Governments viii conform theirs to the
Confederate exemption acts, the Confederate
Government can command force that will drive
beyond our borders all the armies the Abolition
Government can congregate for the further pros
ecution of this unholy war;
In speaking of the above extract, the Rich.
Dispatch says:
We have no doubt that this is true to the let
ter. And will not the Governments, State and
Confederate, make the experiment? In our o.
pinion it is shameful for any young man, in full
possession of health and strength, to sink into
these offices, instead of risingwith the occasion
and coming forth like a true patriot to fight for
his county,

A HEROINE.

When Miss Emma SAMSON volunteered
her services to Gen. Forrest, and rendered
him valuable assistance in the capture Of the
Yankee raider, Strait, in the vicinity of Rome,
by showing him the nearest routes and the most
accessible fords through Northern Georgia and
Northeastern Alabama, she little dreamed, per-
haps, that she was on the road TO fame. Her
name will be handed down to posterity as one of
the heroines of this war. We notice that a bill
has been reported from the select committee in
the Legislature OF Alabama tor donating this
heroic girl medal and a section of land for fe-
male heroism. The bill WI II pass both Houses
and become law of course.

POETRY.
Be Gentle to thy Husband.

Be gentle there are hours when he
By anxious care is tossed,
And shadows deep lie on his brow,
By business trials crossed.
Be gentle; tits for you he tolls.
And thinks, and strives to gain
Home comforts and Lome happiness:
Don't let him strive in vain.
Be gentle; though some hasty word
Should fall, it was no. meant
A smile, a kind word, will recall
And many more prevent.
Be gentle; Oh, twill soothe much care
And make each burden light;
A gentle tone will soothe the brow
And draw an answer bright.
Be gentle, though it may seem hard
IT., check an angry word;
Yet t,y, for it will surely bring
A full aud rich reward.
