A MEAN FELLow.-Some fellow publishes
q communication in the comprehend newspa.
per, dated at Andalusia, and signed "W, in
which he mskes very cowardly attack upon
she popularity of John Buf1um. Esq, and
says he was beaten for overseer of highways
because the ARGUS spoke we'll of him. Was
this the reason Lo Parmenter, twho had also
ably and honorably represented the town in
the board of supervisors, was beaten by
James Carothsrsp Buffum was beaten only
4 votes, while Jim Carothers beat Lo Par
menter 14!l Was it the reason Eby was
Hill, or Jones, or s. R. Buffum Every man
On the regular republican ticket was beaten,
except Mr.. Wells, and he had only 8 MAORI.
~, while John Buffum received more votes
than: an average of his ticket. There were
Is candidates and of them received less
votes thsn John Buffum.
The truth probably is that Mr.. Buffum
cared nothing for the Office and made no ef-
tort to be elected. But some snsaking enemy
of his, (perhaps some one who was defeated
on the same ticket, and feels sore because he
did not get an efics1 skulks behind the letter
Nv, " in the copperhead Union, and tries to
make it appear that John Bufum is unpopu-
lar. Mr.. Buffum probably never saw the
day, since he has been IN public life, that he
could not be elected to any Office in his town
which he desired, and he will hardly thank
w" for his cewardly attack upon him. 81.

the copperhead Gazette, over the river, fail
ing to defeat the nomination of M. c.. Davis,
Ia johnson republican, for alderman, in the
regular republican caucus, brought ont q
man named Mitchell for the Office and called
him the regular republican candidate. Mr..
Davis then announced himself as an indepsn-
dent candidate, and was supported by the
democrats. beating Mitchell by handsome
majority. Johnny Bull, chagrined at the de-
feat of his plans to break down Mr.. Davis
then opens upon him his slush-tubs of filthy
abuse Mr.. Davis is an old and highly re-
speosable republican,-not q copperhead re-
publican, but one who stands by the presi-
dent in his efforts to restore the Union, and
We much mistake his temper if he submits
quietly to the blackguardism of any John

Args You have already heard, perhaps, of the
instruction plotted ana partially carried into effect
by the negroes at New Madrid, on last Saturday
night. 1t appears that discharged Federal soldier
killed negro in an atiray near New Madrid, on
the Sunday before; for which the negroes swore
they would have revenge. One named Dangerfeld
headed plot notifying thrty-fve Others TO meet
Saturday night to sack New Madrid, kill all the
whites, and rob the houses. Only Dangerfed and
two Others came up to time aud commenced firing
into the houses, hoping to get the citizens out to
shoot them. They fouad one man in the streets
and fired several shots at him. Several shots were
fired at young lady who was in the act of kneel.

her head as she knslt below the range of the win

hundred citizens gathered, hung one of the cap.

The JOKE OF THE SEAsoN.-One of the best
things we have read since our Columbia correspon-
dent sent us description ofa contraband wedding
is one Of a similar character, described by the
local Of the Mobile Register It appears that ne
gro couple had been living together for some years
~ man and wife, but ''widout de circumference of
de lhw." They disagreed, separated, and the
weaker vessel laid her case before ''de Bureau"
where the charges were heard, and Sambo and his
Dnah were sentenced to be married. IN order to
be sure that the sentence was properly executed,
the couple were placed under military guard, and
marched off to Squire Stars Office. Arriving there,
the officer of the guard remarked, esquire, here's
couple for you to marry"
"Al right" replied the Justice; 'just step in the
back ROOM"
The couple and the officer followed him to the
planning the duties and obligations of married life,
the squire requested them to join hands,
Brde-"I isn't gwine to do 1t. doesn't want
to hah muffin to do wild dat Niger"
Groom-"I isn't ticular bout margin wild de
gal. ! neber lubed de wench."
This protest opened the squre's eyes like 1.-TWO
full moons in the harvest" He asked what was
Bureau informed the Justice that they were Or
dered by the Freedmen's Court to be married. and
he came up to see the sentence executed.
With this understanding Justice Starr told the
'happy couple tojoin hands, which they did after
much persuasion, and the following scene ensued:
Justice-"Do you take this man to be your wed.
ded husband, to love, honor, obey" &c.
Bride--"No doesn't-not much doesn't
wouldn't hab four acre lot full OBJ SIGH trash.'
Freedmen's Bureau-"Yes we do Squire. We

1.-THE CONQUERED BANNER

The UUNQUEhEU BANNkk.'
Rurl that Banners for It's weary,
Round its staff, It's dropping dseary;
Furi II, fold II, IL Is best;
For there's not man TO wave Il,
And there's not q sxenl to save it,
IN the blood which heroes gave il;
And its foes now scorn and brave il;
Furl it, hide it let it rest.
Take that Banner down. It's tattcrrd;
Broken Is its staff and shattered,
-. And the valiant hosts are scattered,
Der whom It foated high.
Oh! It's hard for US 10 fold IL;
! Hard to think there's none to hold it,
Hard that those who once unrollcd il
Now must furl itwith Sigh. q
Furl that Bannerf furi II sadly;
Once ten Thousand hailed il gladly,
Aud ten thousands wildly, madly,
Swore IL would forever wave
Swore that foeman,s sword could never
Hearts like theirs eniwined discover,
Till that flag would float forever
Ger their freedom or their grave.
Furl III for the hearts shatfondy clasped It,
Gold and dead are lying low; ls
And that Banner il Is trailing
And while around it sounds the waiting
Of its people In their woe;
For though conquered they adore IL
Low the cold dead hands that bore II,
Weep for those that fell before it,
Pardon those who trailed and tore IL,
And OH wildly they denlore H.,
Now to furl and fold It SO.
Eurl that Banner true It's CORY,
Yet tits wreathed around with glory,
And twill live in song and story,
Though its folds are in the dust;
For its fame on brightest pages,
Penned by poets and by sages--
Shall 60 sounding down through ages
Furl its folds though now we must
furl that Banner softly, slowly;
3 Treat it gently--it is holy
. For 1t dro0ps above the dead,
Touch 1t not--unfoldit never,
Let it drop there furled forever,
For its peoples hopes are dead.

nB TO THE DEBILITATED AND THE
DECREPID.-For general debility and exhaustion
OF the powers Of nature, whether occasioned by
sickness, fast living, constitutional decay old age
or any other physical or mental cause, the one
thing needful and indispensable is HOSTETTER'S
CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERS. When the
fire OF life seems to be absolutely dying out In the
system, and the mind, sympathizing with the body,
is reduced almost to Q state OF imbeeility, this
mighty Restorative seems,' as 1t were to lift the
sufferer out Of the slough of despond and recruit
and reinvigorate both the frame and the intellect
An old farmer In the Valley Of the Monongahels
writes thus to DR.. Hostetter: 81 can compare the
operation OF your Bitters upon me to nothing but
the effect Of rain after long dry spell in the fall
of the year. The rain falling on the meadows
starts the second crop OF grass, and your whole
some medicine seems to have started q second crop
Of life and spirits in me-" And this Is truly the
effect OF this grateful and powerful preparation.
Ladies OF week constitution, or whose strength has
been impaired by sickness or age, ind 1t most eff
ncacious and delightful Tonic and 1t Is admins
tered with great success, in marasmus or wasting
of the flesh, to young children. In fact, 1t is q
much safer and surer cordial for the nursery than
anything advertised specially for that purpose.

AsrcporE or ,WEBsrBR.-The following
anecdote Of tho "Godlike "is taken from
Nraser's (London) Magazine for September
At the political dinners, Of which Web
ster was rather fond, he almost ipyariaoiy
became tipsy before his speech-tme ar
rived: and some Of his most admired after.
dinner speeches were the composition OF
friendly reporters. On one occasion ne
had to be prompted by friend, who sat
lust behind him, and gave him successfully
phrases and topics. The speech proceeded
somewhat after this fashion Prompter
/" Tariff" Webster: "The tariff, gentle
men, is subject requiring the profound
attention of the statesman. American IN
dustry, gentlemen, must be-" mods lit
tle). Prompter: /" National Debt" Web
ster: "And gentlemen, there's the ma
tional debit should be paid loud cheers,
which reused the speaker)--yes, gentlemen,
It should be paid, CHEERS, and id If 1t
shan't be--(taking ont his pocket-book)-.
I'll pay it myself! How much is it!''
This last question was asked of a gentle
man near him with drunken seriousness
and, coupled with the recollection Of the
weli.known impecuniosity of Webster's
pocket-book, excited roars Of laughter
amidst which the orator sank into his seat
and was soon asleep.
