NEW SOUTHERN MAGAZINEs-"T I II +
MAGNOLIA WEEKLY" AND "THE SOUTHERN
PoRTFoLIO.-A standard literature upon
which we can depend has long been a
want in the South, and when, since the
war, our feelings have been wounded and
our sensibilities outraged by the gross ca
lumnics and talsehoods which have con-
tinually appeared in the fanatical maya
zines of the North, We have deeply re-
gretted that We had no magazines Of our
own thai we might read, and so escape
insult and reproach. The difficulties in
the way of establishing successfully
weekly literary papers in the Soath must
not be under-o estimated, Poverty Is nov

THE CONVENTION OF BAPTIsTs AND DIS
CIPLEs which has been in session at the
First Baptist Church in this city for the
past five days adjourned on yesterday.
Rev. William F. Broaddus, ID. d., and
Rev. James W. GoSs, were appointed a
committee to prepare an address, which
will be published in few days. We have
converscd with several gentlemen of the
Convention of both denominations, and all
express themselves much pleased at the
fraternal spirit manifested during all the
discussions which took place on the various
points presented for consideration. While
no one expected that the action of the
Convention would result in the immediate
union of these two religious bodies, it was
thought that it might open the way to this
desirable end, and nothing has occurred to
disappoint this hope. On the contrary,
there is every reason to believe that the
deliberations of the Convention will do
great good.

THE DOGS, THE Hoes, AND THE GOATS.
The dog g-catchcrs were out yesterday, and,
in addition to their usual haul OF lean
and hungry dogs, they, under orders, cap
tured Il number Of hogs and goats. Upon
consideration, the authorities determined
that the notice had been rather short to
the owners of goats, which, under Con-
federatc regime, had been allowed TO wan
der at will along our streets, and all the
goats were accordingly discharged. Citi-
zens must, however, remember that any goat
which may be caught at large on and after
this morning, will intallibly be contisca-
ted, as were the hogs captured on yester-
day, which will be sold this morning at 10
o'clock in the rear Of the city Jail.
The tax on dogs is at present one dollar
and twelve cents each, and any person who
may desire to do so, can recover his dog
by paying that amount to the City Cham
berlain. He will receive a medal, which,
upon being suspended around the dog S
neck, will be talisman so potent as TO
protect the animal from the hands of the
police and the remorseless grip of their
sable acolytes.

who have been difficult to move to cXcr-
tion will now be compelled 10 undertake

COLONIAL OPiNIoN.-The Flag has found in
an Australian paper, several months old, the
following opinion of our President. The
Englishman said Our g national calamity
consisted not so much in the death of great

to the Presidency of a boozy btackguard. -

A Coop JoKE.-Our last Legislature, feel
ing that the Pacific coast was hot sufficiently
represented at the national capital, did, by
resolution, request his Excellency, Andy |,
to appoint some proper man, residing on the
coast, a member of his Cabinet. The latest
rumor in Democratic circles is that William
Bigler-broths of John-who for some time
has been out here dabbling in mining stocks,
has gone on to Washington to take the posi-
ton prayed for by Union Legislature. If
true, the joke is rich, for William is a Demo-
crat of the JEFF. Davis-James Buchanan
school.

HoSEY.-On Tuesday last some men found
bee tree on the Canon House bottom, and
cut it down to get the honey and bees. Tie
tree is an oak some three and half feet in
diameter, and about ten feet high to where
three limbs, nearly two feet in diameter,
branch out The tree was felled and was
found to be full of honey. commencing about
four feet below the branches and continuing
on up into each of the branches nearly three
feet. The amount of honey obtained from
the tree. including that in the comb and that
strained, amounted to seven hundred pounds,
saving nothing of much that was wasted by
the falling and breaking of the tree. In
early days this was not land of g milk and
honey" There were no honey bees on the
coast until they were introduced by Ameri'
cans, since '49; there was milk. but 1t took
a GOOD race horse and sk;llful vaquero to
catch the cow that would give it. 1t is differ
ent now. The cows stand gentle, while bees
and honey abound. The thinly wooded for
ests abound in sweet stores deposited there
by these industrious little honey bees.

working a claim some two or three miles
from town, have been realizing for the past
six or eight weeks one pound of gold dust
each per day from their claim. 1t is said
they are working on ledge, and find the
pol! in seams about an inch wide, imbedded
in quartz. They take it out, pound the mass
in n hand mortar, and am ,lgamate the gold
with quicksilver. 1t is further said that the
sum total of the earnings of these men
amounts in the aggregate to over Sl3,0 900.

ers of the damnable rebellion instead of their

JEFF. Davis and other prisoners of his stripe
upon starvation rations, and send the balance
to those poor sufferers. 1t would help them
some, besides doing simple justice to JEFF. &
