We believe that this is first venture IN the world oil

,rccos, in periodical literature She appears 10 have
ossv and oractcel pen and mancs decided talent both
in the construction of story and the conception Of char
sctors The incident upon which the present tale is
founded not pleasant one but it is managed with
great deal Of tact ain Trust is story of sofsacrfce
and devotion to day in affairs Of every day lfe and Of
long years Of unhappness repaid by good fortune ct the
last The tone Of the book is refined and elevated, and
though has decided moral tendency, the author is not
over much given to preaching" We predict for Miss

HosoRABLE.-All Of our people ara E.
miliar with John Dabney, the celebrated
colored restaurateur Of our city, and those
who know him best place the most in,
plicit reliance in his honor and a c;r-
cumstance which came to our KNOWLEDGE
a few days since proves how worthily tia,
confidence is bestowed.
Wishing to purchase bis own and bis
wife's freedom, John some years back A..
piled to his ma ter, who, although John
as a celebrated caterer and bar tendar
was a very valuable servant, readily con'
coded Gas was the universal custom -
Southern gentlemen to the request. and
agreed to let John purchase himself and
his wife for many hundred dollars lesa
than their value, and to pay him al ta
could make it convenient.
John went to work manfully aud maid
for his wife, but at the close of the war
still owed his master d balance Of two
hundred dollars on bis purchase. There
were not wanting advisers who with tina
peculiar ideas Of honesty entertained bv
some people, urged John not to paw tina
balance Of the debt. "Ain't you free sny.
how I" they urged, but John replied.
:" No, my master acted like a g%entleuan
to me ; be let me buy myself and nv vita
cheap | owe him the money honest,v
and intend to pay him." And be kent
his word, and a few days ago, desp;ta
the hard times, John discharged the obi.
cation in full.
Such conduct evinces a high regardfpr
honor which would enoble any man and
John will stand, and deservedly, higher
than ever in the estimation Of every Rich.
mond gentleman. John belongs to that
numerous and respectable portion of our
colored population who give Wardwell
and Huunicutt the cold shoulder, attend
to their business, pay their debts.
and with a sagacity which does credit to
their understanding, rely for their suo.
port upon their old masters who will.

cations Of a few ignorant calumniators.)

Brownlow's wrongs and suffering
of which be is prating throughout the
North are bus summed up by the World:
The reclamation of bis entire property
confscated by the rebels" and q good
slice more-say about thirty Thousand
dollars ; twenty or thirty thousand dol
lars collected from dupes in this city and
elsewhere in the North Offerings poured
out for the benefit of this wrouged relu-
gee j; fifteen or twenty thousand more for
his books. pretaced by a hideous photo
graphic portrait-altogether something
like seventy or eighty thousand dollars,
which this patriot is known to have made
out of his "su~ffarings,' or more money
than he yer saw before in bis own pos.
session. For months in 1861 and 1862,
this Brownlow was a pubic beggdr, pass
ing his hat around from city to city in
the North, and cringing, fawning on, and
aattering the people whom he now abus-
es without stint. His first action in the
way of restoration" Oh bis return to
Tennessee. was the summary and violent
restoration of has w property, which
be received in full, in addition to the
sums bestowed upon this beggar in the.
North. And now, besides abusing bis
~benefactors, he pirates about his suffer
ings," which have made him rich.

~ We are pleased to see the efforts
made by the worthy President of our
railroad, John Hill, Esq, to hurry up the
necessary repairs. Some seven or eight
miles of the track have been overhauled
and cleared of the bushes and under.
growth which had sprung up between the
cross-tles aud along the embankment.
The most difficult part of the repairing
ID where the crevasse waters passed over
n washing away, embankment ties and
even the rails, but as most of the mater
lals will be recovered this portion Of the
work need not long be delayed. The re-
pairs to the rolling stock will probably
require sometime. While this is BEING
done, however, other necessary work will
go on, the management being determin.
ed to use all possible exertions to have
the track ready for business some time
early in the coming year.

are in a state of CONSERVATION owe the
destruction of their choice oxen and mich

while the Texas beeves are proof against
the disease, they poison the pastures and

communicating it to the native cattle.
upon which the effects are fatal.

from the Austin correspondent Of the

Our city was enlivened a few days ago

Gated gentleman, the editor of a public

the tour Of the Southern States for the
purpose of expounding the difference Dc.

OuR LEvEEs.-Although work on a
small scale has been commenced on the
great Chinn and Robertson c~reyasse, our
citizens must not be under any fear that
it will not be closed in time for the next
high water. The present rise of the riV-
er is only temporary. Such, at lesat, is
the information we derive from Western
papers. We have assurances from par
ties in high positions that the work will
be pushed forward with all the force that
can be made available, arrangements
having been made to procure laborers
from the West in addition to all that can
be obtained in New Orleans. True, time
wanes, but work Of that magnitude can
not be entered into without more prepare
tions tsan most pople are aware of. Like
many others, we have full confidence in
the Board of Levee Commissioners.
