Mr.. Gibson remarked that he woufdent
impose the Republick on 10 respektabls
man agin his wishes. He then trans.
fefd me to the Finants Committee, and
said he hoped we would take immediate
action, for the State had no money, as
well as himself, and board was high, and
eat seteras frequent. This may not hay
been his exaktual langwidge, butts anglin
toward it. I how'd my head and said
"Ditto,exsep the eat seteras." Forthwith
l telegrafd varyous gentlemen for tenn
parary loan, bat they woudent lend dol
lar until Mr.. jenkins wer norgoratod for
they wanted his name to the note. Th:nk.

What in the dickens is a Provisional
Government fer, if it amt tosget up pro-
visions and provide for feller generally?
| made up my mind that perhaps wehad
been humorin Andy about long enuf.a We
had as much right toa Governor as Ala
bama or South Callina. He wants US
back about as bad as we want to get back,
and q little Bladder, perhdfpsl and he need
Ient put on many unnecessary airs about
this Senator bisiness. IF hssfools with

forthwith returned to the Capt. and

"Mr. Gibson, surAL'm youf ffiendAIsmni
the friend of your wife children; buh
eft Mr.. jenkins amt norgerated soon, the !;
State will collapse; bright and glorious

nine supporters in the Federal Congress-

1t took like the smallpox, and we're car-l
ried atumultuously. These proceediss
were telee erafl to- Washington before tbet
ink was dry, and received orders forthwithi
to norgerate our Governor and roll on our
cart. Then the money came, and We yo-i
ted ourselves pecketful eap.sesce, and took
a furlo. My friends, that were a proud
and glorious day. When that great aado
good man was maxim his afectin speech,,
we all felt happy, and Capen Dodds, the
member from Polk ,remar ked that he wo' a
like to die then, for he never expected to
feel as heavenly again. The tears run
down his left eye likeirainl His other
eye wer beat out by Yankee soldier
while the Capen were in, prison. OF
course the villen were tried for it, and
hung, though | hain't seen no mention Of
tin the papers, Alas! poor Wirz.ii9elo
My fellow-people,, let me in conclusion
congratulate you on havin a Governor
once more, as is Governor. Obi there
is life in the ole land yet, and by and ~

North, and well transpors them Black
Republicans into the Afrikin desert, and,
