A COOP "HITp WELL ExPREssED. The
New York correspondent of the Charles
ton News says: s'The Evening Express,
in giving an account of the mill between
Colyer and Barney Aarons, remarked that
while even among prize-fghters it is con-
sidered mean and dishonorable to give
man a blow while he is on the ground,
and said blow is adjudged foul, lit is most
surprising that Uncle Sam has had the
poor exc. S. A. (so.called on the ground
for more. than a year, and yet keeps
punching him most numerically: If I
may be allowed to adopt phrase not
found in Chesterfeld's letters to his son,
I would say to the Express, from the,
bottom of my heart, bully for you :"

KEEPING FLoUR.-An exchange says,
that Prof Blot, who is now tecturing In
the Northern cities on cookery, urges
that -four should never be kept in barrels
or boxes, but in cloth bags, and this
method Of keeping it is all that makes
European -four better than American.
Most of us in this section find the diff
Guilty in keeping -four to arise from other
caEses. The demand of little mouths
which must be filed, and the undue af-
fection Of servants for eatables belonging
to their employers, renders it matter of
very little difference whether it is keptin
barrels or bags. From either receptacle
it disappears with alarming rapidity.

obtained-a very different class from the
paupers and prison birds who are sent to
us in emigrant ships.
We urge this subject upon the atten-
tion of our. planting friends. The ex-
pense to be incurred will usually render
association of means necessary, though
we believe that any man owning one or
two thousand acres of land, who will di-
vide it into alternate sections of twenty
five and fifty acres each, and spend two
thousand dollars in visiting or sending to
Europe to negotiate sales or leases, will
find, in the increase value Of the reserved
sections, a better investment, at the end
Of two years, than he ever made in grow
ing cotton. r-..... .--. ...-.'

POISONED BY LEADED FLoUR.-A family
in Philadelphia, last week, were poisoned.
and were very near dying, from the use
of some New York -four containing par
ticles of lead with which the millstones
of the mill where the -four was ground
had been patched. It will be recollected
that several hundred persons in the
State of New York were poisoned, many
of them fatally, by the use Of this -four
some months since. ..-.-:.

THE WEATHER. readers must
have noticed in our teAgraphie reports
from the North extraordinary accounts of
fatality from heat. II many places
mechanics have been obliged to cease
work because of theoppressiveness of the
weather; while drivers Of street cars and
other vehicles are said 10 carry buckets
of water and sponge to cool their pant
ing beasts. In. Congress, the Senate
were compelled to adjeu1n from the same
af1iction. If they are unable to endure
a few degrees of heat here below, what
will they do further down, when they
have the Devil for. a presiding officer, a
temperature no thermometer can ever
mark, and nothing to drink but fre;juleps
andbrimstone-cobblers It's comfortably
warm in the South, but, Heaven be
praised, we are not so near perdition as
all that. & -
The season and its complaints reminds
US of an old Dutchman, who with his
son Hans drove into Cincinnati from the
country, for the first time, on summers
noon. The old gentleman was bare-footed,
and seeing three-cent piece on the
pavement, he stopped his cart and jumped
out to appropriate the prize. No sooner
had he touched the curb-stone, however,
than he sprang back with an afrighted
look, exclaiming: 'sMine Cott! Hans,
trive on; He'll is only Von mile avayl"
The Bumpers of Congress are just now
in pretty nearly the same predicament.

CHEw1NG.-An exchange says that a
young lady in Indiana chews qulre OF
fools-cap paper, on an average, per week.
She acquired the foolish habit while at
school, and now finds it impossible to
break from it.
We would suggest visit to a paper
mill, that she might see the process Of
manufacturing her luxury. II she con-
tinued to chew after that, We would say
let her chew.

Speaking Of the prevalence ofsuicide and
insanity among the negroes since they
have beeA emancipated, the Mobile Tri-
bune makes the following sensible re-
marks about Cufee: =.
= He worked much less than the white
slave of Europe, and he danced, and sung,
and was joyful all the time. It was bet
ter music than Jenny Lind made, to lis
ten to his hearty songs on steamboat or
plantation. We have enjoyed that music
more than any that We have heard in the
Italian opera.
The negro does not sing now. His
harp is hung on the willow. He now
has responsibilities. He is his own mas
terand is not equal to the responsibility,
and goes ofoccasionally and browns him
self, or gets rid of his responsibility in
some other way. His life is not of much
value to him. ,,.z! II .~.-.t. ...-.
Just one little illustration. The Wri-
ter of this had a right to several good
negroes, two of whom he especially re-
spected, and when the town was oceu-
pied by the Federals, these two ''Eschat-
tells" as the Yankees called them. went
away to help themselves in the glorious
condition to which they had been invi-
ted. They are both dead now. They
might have lived twenty years longer
and been useful and respected. They
are dead; and they died of freedom.
Thad. Stevens and men of his kidney are
responsible for their premature deaths.

? A specimen Of the genus "Hosier" was
found by Capt, of the steamer,
in the engine room of his boat, while
lying at Louisville, one fine morning in
June. The Captain inquired what he

the interrogatiye response.

an officer Of the church. Brigham, like

but when it became necessary to. record
her case, hesitated and said: "Let me

name" was the indignant reply, "why,
I am your wife!" "When did I marry

MIR. Bates, Card.

We call attention, this morning, TO the
card of Mr.. L. F. Bates, superintendent of
the Southern Express Company in this State.
We never published the letter of Col. Aston,
referred to in the card, but we publish that
of Mr. Bates, because we think he has been
ungenerously dealt with by that class of our
Southern people who go for ostracising and
putting down" all who refuse to be con-
trolled by them. We have come to pretty
pass, when a gentleman cannot give evidence
under oath, when SO compelled to do, with
out being pursued and prosecuted continu-
ally by the press of the country. Why should
Mr. Bates be thus set upon by the pretended
admirers of Mr.. Johnson 1t was the Presi-
dent who had Mr.. Davis arrested, and it is
he who still keeps him confined. Why not
direct their shafts of calumny and abuse at
Mr. johnson, instead of at Mr.. Bates Such
a system of warfare is not only puerile, but
it is cowardly, and serves to show that their
professions of friendship for and admiration
of President johnson are deceitful and hyp
ocriticaL
