The Famine i'm 1he South.

A writer In the st. Louis Democrat SAYS:
A few days since the writer was informed by a
gentleman of prominence and undoubted veracity
that he saw IN one Of the northern towns of Ala
bama some twenty women and children, who
had walked from ten to twenty miles for the pur-
pose Of receiving food from the hand of charity.
They were barefooted and bore every outward
appearance OF distitution and sqhalid poverty.
A few bushels of coft meal were distributed
among them, and they retraced their steps hOme-
wald. Soon after another delegation of widows
and orphans came up from theit homes Of desti-
tution and through their haggard and careworn
eountenances, ragged and stanty apparel and
bare feet, el0quently pleaded for bread But the
supplies were exhausted, and this group of suffer-
ers were compelled to leave without dust Of
meal or an ounce Of meat.
The Louisville Courier says;
We met, yesterday, at Mr.. Miler's office. n
number Of persons from various parts of Georgia
and Alabama, and listened with pity TO the sad
truths which they related One told bs Of gen.
tleman residing in Wilkinson county, Alabama,
who owns three large plantations, and paid taxes
on 81, 500, 900 before the war, and who has actu-
ally lost one son by starvation. If this is true of
those who were wealthy, what must be the con-
dition Of the poor? At Tuscaloosa, Alabama,
the distitution is so great that the little children
are allowed only one scanty meal day, and that
is made OF unslfted corn meal, and given to them
in the evening, so that their hunger may be so
much appeased as to permit them to sleep during
the night And yet these people know not where
the next morsel will come from, or whether it
will come at all.
The gentleman, minister Of the gospel, VIII o
related this, said that when he would return, and
before supplies could reach the suffering in that
section many new graves would be filed by the
victims of famine. a f..-

The Debate.

Mn. MAcKIEY Dear Sir, Thinking that
your structures upon the part taken by Young
America in the discussion lately had with the
jackson Deb Otlug Society, of which you are a
member, are somewhat severe, we wish to have
leave to reply.
We did operate with closed doors, for the rea-
son that we were unaccustomed to public speak
ing, and did not want to admit those who were
such to rldlcule us ln our first efforts. During
the winter we discussed the equal mental capacity
Of the sexes two evenings. The jackson De-
batting Society discussed 1t one evening, and a
question very similar. (that of female franchise)
at another time. We supposed from your state.
ments heretofore, in regard to our society, that
1t was secret political society," We are glad to
learn that you have become more enlightened.
We did challenge the jackson Debating Society
to discuss the question Of the equal mental ca
paclty of the sexes They very pompously agreed
to discuss with us any question we might select,
allowing us to choose our own side, and major.
ity Of the judges. This proposition we accepts
ed. But you say when the time came for de.
bate we had arrived at the conclusion that the
female intellect was not only equal, but superior,
to ours, SO we changed the question again. Now
the lalslty of this is shown by reading the ques-
ton as amended
"Resoiued, That the mental capacity Of woman
Is equal to that Of man."
We changed the stating Of the question be-
cause we learned that you yourself were going to
take advantage of 1t, by attempting to prove the
mental superiority of women aud we learn that
alterwe had made the change, You sought to
desert from your own ranks into that of the
enemy and we refused to receive you. Is this
correct5 Then how does your article read and
is not this the animus that inspired that article ?
Having arrived, as you say, at the conclusion that
the female Intellect was not only equal, but supe.
rior to ours, and 1t has been proved concluslvely
that the intellect of Young America Is superior
to that Of your society, then let us inquire how
much below the female intellect ls your status ?
Speaking of children, did you ever see boys on
the street, one boasting that he can whip an
other, of less pretensions and after getting into
fight and coming of second best go away boo
booug that the other one did not fight far7
And Is not this illustrative Of the position In
which you stand to Young American All.

We observe a statement in sundry
Democratic papers to the effect that
Henry Ward Beecher ran ''hundreds of
votes" behind his ticket, 1t is only
just to say that this is entirely untrue.
Mr. Beecher received many more votes
than the Republican State ticket in his
district, and the only foundation for the
opposite statement is that Judge Rey-
nolds, who was associated with him on
the local ticket, ran about iifty votes
ahead, owing to his popularity among
Democratic lawyers. Mr. Beecher's
name drew out hundreds Of Republicans
who would otherwise not have voted at
all, and the Democratic majority was
reduced from 800 last Fallto 500 now.

The Pin and the Needle.
A FABLE.

A pin and needle, being neighbors
in a work basket, and both being idle,
began to quarrel, as idle folks are apt to
do.
81 should like to know" said the pin
"what you are good for, and how you
expect to get through the world without
head?" "What is the use of your
head" replied the needle rather sharply,
elf you have no eye?" "What is the
use of an eye," said the pin, {" if there
is always something in it" 81 am
more active, and can go through more
work than you can" said the needle
eyes, but you will notlivelong." "Why
not?' because you have always a
stitch in your side, said the pin. "You
are a poor crooked creature" said the
pin. "You areapoor crooked creature"
said the needle. "And you are so proud
that you can't bend without breaking
your back" 81 will pull your head off
if you insult me again" "I'I pull
your eye out if you touch me remember
your life hangs by single thread" said
the pin. While they were thus convers-
ing, little girl entered, and undertake
ing to sew, she soon broke off the needle
at the eye. Then she tied the thread
around the neck of the pin, and attempt
ed to sew with it; she soon pulled off its
head and threw it into the dirt, by the
side of the broken needle. aWell, here
we are" said the needle. "We have
nothing to quarrel about now" said the
pin; it seems misfortune has brought
us to our senses" GA pity We had not
come to them sooner" said the needle.
" How much we resemble human beings,
who quarrel about their brethren I'll!
they lose them, and never find out they
are brethren, till they lie down in the
dust together, as We do"
