SPRING.

The yellow skies at eventide,
The mornings crimson glow
The bare brown rocks that peep above
The swiftly less'ning snow
The swelling buds upon the trees,
The mellow heat at noon,
Are sweet and. d.subtle prophecies
That Spring is coming soon.
The sparkling brooks freed from the ice
So That bound their gentle flow
. The stars as soft as eyes Of love-
The Southern winds that blow
Tho breath of balm from spicy climes,
Like the sweet air of jane
Speak unto us the welcome truth
That Spring is coming soon.
The early robin on the elm,
The blue bird in the hedge
The ripping of the forest spring
AdOwn the messy ledge
The purple haze that sails BY night
Between US and the moon 5.s..,s
All, all suggest the pleasant thought
That Spring is coming soon.

known as a dry joker, and who resolved

DiSCOuraging from Florida,

large landed-nterest in Florida. 1t
presents gloomy aspect of affairs in
that State }s We
Il am glad to see that you are in
such Gne spirits. aud pray God that your
predictions may all bp verified. I see,
however. no reason for any such caicu
'lations al you make Surely the same
state of things do not exist in South
Carolina that exist here. My large
plantation, that used to occupy about
fifty hands, has ten negro troopers on
IL this year. General Owens has none
OIL it, and ( don't know of a single
plantation that hns anything like the
ands OH them thar they had formerly
except yours and join. Hopkins. I
lsthinkt tMarsiitold llaesls chad 6ftee..4 or
sixteen hands; only two or three OF
.sitm your former negroes. Colonel
fongne could not get any hands, and
was present, the other day, when h's
fine plantation was sold at So per acre {;
stock and everything sold. There are
hundreds Of plantations in Florida this
year, that arc lying Idle for the want of
danls to cultivate them. The free ne.
gro will never do regular plantation
work il he han possibly avoid it. And
the foreigner is no more to be relied on
than the free negro. Edward Lewis.
Scott aud Gradlick, went to New York
and brought on Irish, Germans, &C..
and were tor time very much pleased
with them, but they have all left; !;
could not stand rcgular plantation work
ia the South. We, in Florida, don't
know what have become Of the negroes.
Feaster has eight hands, Croxton none,
Adamson four, and so in regard to hun.
dreds of others. The negro women are
lying about the cabins idle. AS for
myself 4 see nothing but ruin staring
us all an the face.

Fort Sumter.

a correspondent writing from Charleston

cription of that famons locality
Ii :hc ssa:-c, L: mid caun.i, like grim
sentinel stands Fort Sumter, bowed, broken,
and desolate. a shapeless pile of earth
and sand, and brick, it bears no likeness to
its former self. Where tho new cross OF
the Confedcracy and the palmetto flag Of
General Ripley were so proudly flying in
April and July of eighteen hundred and
sixty three. only one single banner, and
Tint the red white and blue, now waves

OF mingled sand and brick, and shot and

let the structure Of the fort is Scared and
cracked nnd broken, above and around, and
behind these additional defences. The case
mates, closed and covered by immense
framework OF heavy beams, and this again
thick with earth, can be entered only by
winding passages damp and dripping with
moisture. Tho classmates entered, il would
hardly seem possible that human being
could have lived any length of time within
them. The guns were Shiny and mouidy,
aRd the carriages were sweating with q
Climbing out Of the stone port hole and
through the more widely extending one in
the palmetto logs, you could look down
around the base Of the fort, whore the cenae-
less tide had woven over each of the stones
mantle like thick, green, wet floss, and
see fragments of shell and broken bolts
fon could look to the rightan see where the
wall had crumbled and fallen into the sea.
You could look above and see tho logs rent
and gashed, and the brick wall with great
sears and ragged cracks, and wide seams,
as though little more Of the storm of iron
shot woul'l have beat it down beneath the
surface of the sea. You would look to the
left and see The clossd ports. the rough re-
pairing. the unbrokcn parapet.
In the interior the sandy earth was sup
ported in its irregularity by numberless
fascines and gabious, and dotted here and
there by dark holes which admitted us into
the hedampcnverns. What had been the parade
was now green and Shiny with the stagnant
moisture, over which was scattered pieces
-of an old exploded. gun. Sseraps of iron,
hoops, few decayed barrel slaves, iron
and leaden shot scattered from schrapnel,
and bits of soilcd clothing aud broken bayo-
nets. From the tall flag staff in the centre.
small Union banner was waving. And
this was all that remained Of Fort Sumter.

STREET ETIoUETTE.-So fair Gcor
gian who evedintly makes COOL use of
her bright black eyes. reports The ful!o@.
ing rules for etiquette, which we cordial.
ly commend TO the careful consideration
ofthe many prospective Chesterfelds in
the town:
81. Gentlemen in walking should
keep their hands in their pockets. IL
shows their gai. and figure to advan.
tage, keeps the hands warm and out of
other peoples pockets.
20. In the afternoon congregatc in
front of the hotels and saloons, and at
the street corners. Then upon lady
passing set mp an equine cachination
(translated horse laugh). This will be
giving them an exalted opinion of your
taste and Refinement.
''3. Keep to he centre Of the side.
walk. BY this means others in meet.
ing you will not know which side to
pass, when they attempt to step in
the same direction with them. This
shows an agreeable variety in a prone.
made.
-. Ifyou see person on the oppo.
site side of the street whom you wish TO
interrupt, cry out as loud as possible to
him, "Ho IJonesl" of course Jones will
show TO passers by that youtake agreat
interest in the tate .of, Joaes.
b rs. When turning q corner, walk
rapidly and with your eyes in an oppo
site direction. You may meet somebo.
dy, and give them an opportunity to
study astronomy by dsylightn
IS. Dog fights are an agreeable va.
lriety with which to .'spice" city life /;
therefore encourage them by your pres.
,ence. and get up . few bets as to which
will win.
