The SOUTHERN OPINION, Mr.. II. RIvEs
PoLLARD's new paper, has appeared at last. It
presents 4 beautiful typographical appearance,
and Its contents are of high literary order.
The opinions expressed therein, as a matter Of
course, are POHardiEcd "opimioMs," with the
inevitable *" (nOte) to music, which is more
ornamental than useful. 1t also contains the
$500 prize poem on the confederate dead.'
The poem Is better prose than poetry. 1t IL
rarely ever, though. that in all such cases tn,
intrinsic poem and most deserving, is awarded
the prize.
