RATES OF POSTAGE.

In consequence of the general ignorance in the
South of the rules of postage established by law,
many letters of importance daily lost to those
interested by being Improperly insuficiently
stamped. The regulations require that all such let
ters dropped into post offices shall be Immediately
forwarded to the Dead Letter Office, where they are
never heard from unless they contain money, or
other enclosures OF value. We give below some in
formation which may prevent vexation to cores
pcndens;

WINTER is passed and Spring, "gentle
Spring." is here. The days are more full
of sunshine, and now and then balmy
breath steals softly from the South. We
gladly hail the vernal season, although
with bashful step. she scarcely has crossed
the line where the icy letters of winter are
still uncleft. The hardest storms are over,
and soon the fragrance of early flowers will
be borne on each gentle breath Ofair.

BY DENOMINATIONS.
Dyggaa, dsoonsozate sitting uDo,s tie steps Of tie
Capttol, neustag at t0izigzts pensigs hour. thus dis
coarses to his african duzeiaea:
Hail, fragrant maid of ebon hue
Upon whose neither lip the bees
That round the lips of Plato fDvF
Might all have swarmed at once with ease,
Nor hid the pendant charm from view,
Those barnaeles Of moss like hair
That to thy scalp, enamored cling
Dinah! my heart entangied there
Lies at thy mercy while sing,
Fen like woodcock springed, helpless, captive
thing.
Caucassion maids, take those who will
Give me the Congo facial line,
Low brow, fat nose, Protuberant bill,
AID cast in beauty's mold-like tine
And then thy form! My pulses thrill
While on its outline rare gaze.
The Venus Of Italia's land
Let dainty dilettania praise,
Give me the undulation grand
That Afrie's Venus still displays,
There Eros, Pillioned sits, and many heart be
trays.
Enchantress dark those rolling eyes,
In tender pity turn on me,
Take to that breast of ample size,
One of the race that set thee free,
And as thou dost fair freedom prize,
To me such liberties allow,
AS Africk's moral code comedies.
IT'S true Pm not black as thou,
But what is color more than creeds:
Be mine, be mine, dear maid, and let US mix the
breeds.
Hear me forswear complexion light,
My sooty sylph! my charcoal swan!
l turn my back on red and white,
And worship hencef9rth black and tan.
Pappooscs, darling, not too bright,
To be their country's pride Wen rear,
Their kinky locks and yellow skins,
To me viii make them doUbly dear;
Daughters and sons with eurving Sims,
Shall bless our mutual love thus heaven on earth
begins.
While beauty, sweet one, is unblest,
1t changes tint with fear and shame;
Mine be the tinge that stands the test
In every exigence the same.
Young Cupid in blackbird's nest,
Not tin a Paphian rose, was born,
And still he cottons to the hue
By his swart foster-mo Their worn.
Then smile upon my passion, do,
My charming coal black maid my flower of Tim
buctoo!
Thy saffron babes ''white trash" shall nurse,
white wait behind thy chair,
The pride of color well reverse,
And wool shall give the law to hair;
Nomatter for the Bibles curse,
Black shall from white bear off the bell;
The edict of the great Am
Shall perish like ''thing of hellr
And thy dear race, the race of Ham,
Shall reign in all the land, beloved of Uncle Sam!

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT MEMPHIS
COTTON MILLS DESTROYED.

On Tuesday night, about . o'clock, the
cotton mills at Memphis were discovered
to be on fire. Itrequired but a few minutes
to complete the work of total destruction.
A stately building, full of machinery and
busy with the industry of two hundred per-
sons employed in it, was almost in a twink
ling wholly consumed. The BuUctia thus
speaks Of the loss sustained and the origin
Of the fire:
No one appeared 10 be on the ground who
could give the slightest clue 70 the origin Of
the fire, and the general opinion Of those
who went was that the confagration was
accidental An investigation will doubtless
be made into the matter.
The owners Of the Memphis Cotton Mills
were J. w. PAGE, Esq, GEORGE II. CHEEK
Esq, and W. b. Vices, Esq. They esti-
mated the loss on machinery and building
at SlS7 900; material, Sl5,090. Total,
S202. 600, on which there are policies Of in
surance to the amount Of $4,000. Some
Of the city offices will suffer severely, but the
particulars will net be known till to-day.
There is not person in the city but will
svmpathize with the owners Of the mills in
their great loss, and sthe working-men,
women and children being turned CIT %
face the gloomy winds and storms Of winter,
