mPonr White Trash. !"

An idea prevails, almost universally,
among us at the North, says the New York
Citizen, that the poor people of the South
were termed by the rich, or ''chivaly' of
Of that section, ''poor white trash." which
is altogether erroneous.
The slaves, curiously enough, considered
themselves better off than the poor whites
of the South, because they were provided
for by their masters, and they seldom found
themselves in abject destitution and power
ty, such as sometimes prevailed among
many of the lower order of whites. They
therefore looked down upon the poor whites
with contempt, and called them ''poor white
trash.'' The expression was, therefore,
merely negrOism.
We make these remarks because Presi-
dent Johnson's father is said by contem-
porary to have belonged to the class of
''poor white trash," as they say the ''chiv
alry' of the South used to call them. Not
withstanding that disability, his son An
drew, succeeded in elevating himself be-
fore the war, to position seldom attained
by men of any class, in the Uuited States,
and his fathers poverty was no more a
bar to his success as a statesman than was
the indigence Of John Jacob Astor an OBJ
stacIe to his becoming the richest man in
the country.

The IdtAr.

The idle man is an snnoyance-s nuis-
aHce. He is Of no benefit to anybody. He
is an intruder in the busy thorOughfare of
every day life. He stands in our path, and
we push him contemptuously aside. He is
Of no advantage to anybody. He annoys
busy men. He makes them unhappy. He
is cipher in society. He may have an in-
come to support him in idleness, or he may
sponge on his good natured friends
But in either case he is despised. YOung
man, do something in this busy, bustlings
wide-awake world. Move about for the
benefit of mankind, if not for yourself. Do
not be idle. Gods law is that by the sweat
of our brow we shall earn our bread. That
law is good one, and the bread we earn is
sweet. Do not be idle Minutes are too
precious to be squandered thoughtlessly,
Every man and every woman, however ex-
alted or however humble, can do good in
this short life, if so inclined; therefore do
not be idle.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1866-09-07

magnsnimitys his patience and gentleness,
his woaassial self-control under petty
sights snd entities, than in the days of
his power q the GOnfederacy. We saw
him frst wishing feebly across the parade
from lis ioe up to the casemate where his
wife lives he nurse and baby by his side,
his emaeSptsd figure and tOttering step tell
ing the q g 81 hardships and ill-treatraeut.
Presently We followed him, and not one of
US but kSssed the emaciated hands which
he held out to welcome US, wetting them
with our tears. He talks pleasantly, but
Hith difficulty, his voice is SO weak, aud
every hour they give him teaspoOnful of
brandy, aud he lies down often to rest his
back.
81 could understand the temptation to
DR.. Craven to set down his conversation,
so woaderful is il. so pointed, so strong and
so forcible, every sentence SO concentrated
as to seem the very essence Of wisdom. I
found out through Mrs. B. and DR.. Cooper
his opinion of DR.. Craven's book; It IS not
reliable.
"He says he is often misrepresented and
oftener misunderstood, not that he thinks
DR.. Craven would falsify wilfully, but Col.
Halpine, who wrote the book for Craven,
has garbled the conversation to suit mis-
own views and wishes. Col. Halpine was
on Gen. Hunters staff, hence he makes Mr..
Davis guilty of the inconsistency of saying
Hunter was his model of a soldier
Whereas, Mr.. Davis said In our presence,
Hunter is simply brute. In our early
days we were much associated, and l
thought him contentious, though fanatic;
but he is entirely changed since them
"While Mr.. Davis rested we were taken
to see his apartment in Carroll Hall, which
is precisely like apartments occupied by
lions and tigers in a menagerie. The back
is closed and three sides of iron bars, aud
great padlocks. Before these bars three
guards walk, gazing at him, waking, sleep
ing, washing, dressing; not even a curtain
to protect him. At O'Clock, A. M. he is
let out, and at sunset the trumpet sounds,
his guard appears, and he is locked in a
cage. A bright light from two lamps blaze
in his face, which, with the challenging of
the passers by, the changing of the senti-
nels every two hours, efectually keep him
awake.
He walks out to the rsmparts from to
P NJ, Mrs. Davis and B. supporting him.
When the signal sounds for the lookup and
the guard appears, he says never word,
but turns from his companions with a look
of so much agony. mingled with fortitude,
as is heart-rending to witness.
= ''The most touching sight ever wit
messed was to see him lift his emaciated
hands and say grace, thanking GOD for all
His mercies."

For the Pulaski Citizen.
Alice and Floranca.

Alice and Florenee-sound them together,
The two are suggestive Of musical atrains;
A song of sweet softness-the one with the other,
A "Rat6Lssa NaVourasss' of beautiful names.
Thoughtful and pensive, Alice is ever,
Many castle she builds in her dreams;
Florence is winsome, rejecting, no never,
Living alone in to-day's bright beams.
Alice's eyes are blue as the Heavens
Tender and dreamEke-dreamy to tears;
FloTence's eyes are hazle and sparkling,
And lock love to eyes that look love to hers.
Alice's heart might love with devotion,
Still her soft eye would be calm and blue;
Florence's soul might feel the emotion,
And wild flashing eyes would tell the tale true.
Alice reminds me of some fair Athenian,
Gazing at Heaven and counting the spheres;
Florence a VenetiRn-glfdes o'er the waters,
And mingles her laugh with the gay Gondoler's.
Alice's song by the sad, silent moonlight,
Entrances the soul and mounts to the skies;
When fair Florence sings, the glories of Eden,
Are not more respondent than Earths Paradise.
Alice loves moonlight, and murmuring waters,
Romantic, wild music, or fearful and sad;
Florence is more reaI-the Orchestra music,
The ballroom of fashion, makes her heart glad.
VesuviOus-the tsmPest-the deep pealing thunder,
The wild roaring ocean-the Aurora Borealis;
The melancholy Vespers-the t1mb-stones' inscriP-
These charm the soul of the beautiful Alice [tion,
Festivity- -fashion--sweet clusters of roses,
Fascinating manners-a comely appearances;
Life's spices-love poetry-a little eoquetry,
tha haa tortI
Alice and Florence. Two "dazzling rare JEWELS"
Two sets in ring of purified gold,
Absorbing life's sorrows-refecting its brightness,
Alice and Florence? the critics tales told.

Joking.


It is not everybody who knows where to
joke, or when, or how; and whoever is ig-
norant of these conditions, had better not
joke at all.
A GENTLEMAN never attempts to be hu-
nlerous at the expense of people with whom
be is but slightly acquainted. In fact, it is
neither good manners nor wise policy to
joke at anYbOdy's expense; that is to say,
to make anybody uncomfortable merely to
raise laugh.
Old Esop, who was doubtless the sub
ject of many gibe on account of his hump
ed back, tells the whole story in his fable
of "The Boys and the Frogs" What was
fun to the youngsters was death to the
croakers.
A jest may cut deeper than a CURSE
Some men are so constituted that they can
not take even friendly joke in good part,
and instead of repaying it in the same light
coin, will requite it with contumely and in
suit. Never banter one of this class, for he
will brood over your badinage long after
you have forgotten it, and it is not prudent
to incur any ones enmity for the sake OF
entering a smart double ents1dre or a tart
repartee. Ridicule, at best, is a perilous
weapon. Satire, however, when leveled at
social follies and political evils, is not only
legitimate, but commendable. Il has sham
ed down more abuses than were ever abol-
ished by force of logic.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1866-09-07
Paragraph for Girls.

The Charleston Courier says, a few
months since, there was welded to a fair,
but alasl too confding daughter of highly
esteemed and respectable citizen of one of
our interior towns, a Northern man, who
claimed formerly to have been an officer in
the Federal army. The married life of the
happy pair appears to have glided along
smoothly and pleasantly until at an inau-
spicious moment third party steps upon
the stage, and Immediately transforms quiet
and bliss to discomfort and bitterness. The
perfdlous and brutal husband was confront
ed by another wife, who, having heard Of
his infamous conduct, had arrived from the
North to institute inquiries and satisfy
herself as to the truth or falsity of the re-
ports which reached her. To her anguish
and sorrow she found that the statements
were indeed true. The affair has created
quite a feeling in the District, and how it
will end remains to be seen.
And the Macon Messenger, after stating
that it has heard of several such cases in
Georgia, very properly insists that the
moral they teach is one which common
sense alone should convey without the cost
of Notifying experience-a woman should
know all about the history and character of
man she thinks of marrying. If he halls
from abroad, it is the plain business Of her
parents or next Of kin to make proper in
quiries at the place where he has resided;
and it is the duty of the party himself to
furnish reference about which there can be
no dispute. If he declines to do SO, the
presumption naturally arises that all is not
right. That anybody should suffer daughter
or sister to contract matrimonial alliance
upon the mere unsupported representations
of the suitor-assuranees upon which in
fact few of them would loan any considera-
bic sum of money, is a strange and culPa-
bic piece of negligence and carelessuess
Yet the number of these bogus marriages
/ in the South, since peace, has been great.

The Abbeville Banner has been permit
ted to make the following extracts from
letter which gives some interesting informa-
ton concerning the President of the late
Confederate States. The letter, which was
written without any idea of publication, is
in the familiar style of friend deeply i'm
pressed with the truth of the subject of
which she writes, imparting in almost every
sentence a sense of that deep sympathy
which all the women and men OF the late
Confederate States feel for the illustrious
captive. But to the extracts:
''My friend, Mrs. B. Mrs. Davis niece
wrote me she was going to Fortress Mon
roe, and invited me to join her. Not re-
ceiving her letter in time to meet her, we
followed her to Fortress Monroe, and after
some little diplomacy got permission to en-
ter, and spend the day the 4th Of JULY
We had the happiness Of seeing, listening
to and dining with cur illustrious Presi-
dent-illastrious by his misfortunes, his
talents, his high position and his many
virtues, which shine more resplsndent il
this day of gloom.
