by its audacious secessionism. It's edi-
tor is Mr.. H. R. Pollard, formerly of the
Examiner, author of Southern Ellis
tory of the War; and for a time resi-
dent of Fort Warren. [This is mis-
take, the editor is O brother of
the historian. So outspoken is
its secessionism that it has lately been
warned by the military that its course
must change or it's publication STOP
And such, with some exceptions, is the
press, not only of Richmond, but of the
whole South. Weare taking great pains to
putloyal men in the gubernatorial chairs
But here is power greater than that of
the government, welded almost wholly
in the interest of an aristocracy as yet
far from dead.
There is nothing which is so much
needed in the Southern States as loyal,
liberty-loving press, yet the South can
not, will not sustain it. In State
where the Governor declares that nine
teen-twentieths of the people would be
disfranchised by being required to take
an oath before voting, that they have
not voluntarily aided the rebellion, there
is no constituency strong enough now to
sustain the right kind of newspaper.
In some form or other assistance must
be obtained from abroad. We commend
this matter to whom it may concern in
New York. In no way could they rem
der a more substantial service to the
country, than in clubbing together to
furnish Northern daily papers to the
city of Richmond, through some au-
thorized agent, at the simple cost of pa
per, printing, and transportation, where
now they can only be purchased for ten
cents per copy, and are rare at that
Meanwhile, we warn the public to re-
member that the extracts which they
constantly read from the Southern press,
concerning the condition of society, and
especially the conduct of the negro, are
prepared for our information by the
same men whose atrocious calumnies of
the North did more to produce the war
whose unblushing falsehoods, during
its progress, did more tn prolong and
embitter it, than all other influences
combined.

LOVE IN THE COUNTRY.

Have you seen my sweetheart
Passing on the wayt
Like hillside sun-gleam
On a harvest day.
Such fine eyes of hazel
Such dark flowing hair
Like graceful cloud-wreath
Leaning on the air.
Saw you the white foam-hill
Sailing down the Norei
How amid the PUSHES
Flowing near the shore,
In 1t steers and nestles-
flakes its downy nest
So my sweetheart's bosom
Hides beneath her vest.
Saw you the wild mushroom
As you slowly pass
Like apearly dawning,
Bedded in the grassf
30, IN her dark Dusk1n,
Lies my sweetheart's foot,
Locked up like the kernel
In the tuckered nut
Have you seen my sweetheart
When she speaks or Singer
Lol the birds Of Eden,
With uplifted wingsl
Warm-bright-and rosy
Dazzling white beneath,
Like lips Of crimson
Ger their ivory wreath.
Have you seen my sweetheart,
Blushing when We meet?
Looking mild and gentle,
Speaking kind and sweet.
Earth were sad without her
Time no Joy could bring
Bright is all above her,
Like one fairy ring;
Bless her eyes Of hazel
Bless her flowing hairl
Like graceful cloud-wreath
Leaning on the air

I SUGGESTIVE FACTS ON ADVERTISING
The advertisements in an ordinary
number of the London Times exceed
$500, the annual advertising bills of one
London firm are said to amount to
$500, 900; and three Others are mention
ed who each annually expend for the
same purpose $4,000. The expense for
advertising the eight editions of the
Encyclopedia Britannica, is said to have
been $4,000. 1t is also asserted that
$40, 900, 900 year are expended in Eng
land in extra advertising, by circulars,
handbills and placards. In large cities,
nothing is more common than to see
large business establishments, which
seem to have an immense advantage
over all competitors by wealth, expert
ence, and prestige they have acquired
drop gradually out of public view, and
be succeeded by firms of q smaller CAPT.
tai, more energy, and more determine
ton to have the fact that they sell such
and such commodities known from one
end of the land to the other. In other
words, the new establishments adver-
tise; the old die of dignity. The former
are ravenous to pass out of obscurity in
to publicity; the latter believe that their
publicity Is so obvious that 1t cannot be
obscured. The misunderstood that they
must thrust themselves on public atten-
ton or be disregarded: the second hav-
ing once obtained public attention, sup
pose they have arrested it permanently,
while in fact, nothing is mOrecharacter-
istic of the world than the ease with
which il fOrgets,
