To say that the heroine is Mar
garet of ANTON is sufficient ex-
PLANTATION of the title. The main
incidents are historically true, and
the Queen is the central figure
throughout, from her landing OH
the coast Of England to her death
in Provence. The story Of her
stormy life is told by one of
her ladies of honor, and the
quaint languageof the day, which
is not without it's charm. and her
comments ON the leaders of the
different parties and accounts of
contemporary events, give an air
of reality to the narration that
adds to the interest.

Ofall the American agricultural
literature, this series Of ANNALS is
the best. There are now four hand
some volumes, which sell for S1.50

The 4 volumes contain nearly L.
800 pages, and 1,7OO Illustrations,
which may safely be pronounced
the best agricultural library con.
sidering it's dimensions, now ex-
tant. The work complete may be

THE PLANTER AND FARMER
The February number of the
Southern Planter and Farmer is

amount of information of great
value to the agriculturalists and
mechanics of the South, and, at
two dollars per yer, is one of the
cheapestperiodicals in the country.

The American Rag Bearer.

who is now marching on Wash
ington through the South, has
succeeded in manufacturing a
lively sensation in the cities and
towns he has thus far taken in
his route. At Selma, Alabama,
the citizens took on extravaganza
", as though they had not looked
upon the old flag before, when it
was carried triumphantly through
that State, grasped in the red
hand of war-terror in the van,
destruction in the rear; when its
lurid folds, set with stars, were
indeed followed by clouds of
smoke by day, and pillars Of fire
by night.
But that was several years since.
The American buzzard was a bird
of prey then; it is now an eagle
again, seeking loftier fight and
the companionship of the stars.
So the patriotic citizens of Selma
went beside themselves, when
Bates hove in sight of their city,
bearing copy of the same iden-
teal dear old flag. He was honor
ed with a public reception, in
which figured prominently two ex.
Governors of Alabama, an Honor
able, a Judge, and many ladiesl
Speeches were made, and the fla-ag
apostrophied by men who, a few
years ago, boosted of their allegi-
glance to another government and
the beautiful, but short-lived ban
ner Of another nationality. AS if
this was not sufficient-the sam
swficit of humiliation-the citizens
of Selma, in town meeting assem-
bled,
"Resolved, That we heartily ap-
prove of each and every principle
embodied in the Constitution of
the United States; that we regard
the flag of the Union as the sym
boil of those principles, and we
solemRly pledge ourselves to sup
port the one and to uphold and
defend the other"
This resolution of unadulterated
hypocracy finds its apology in the
expressed ceremonial desire of
the citizens of Selma that ssfrater
nal feeling" may be established
between the sections SO lately at
strife.
Fools! thus to cruelty your own
sentiments, and sin against your
own souls. Know We not that the
flag is a lie?-that it is not the en-
sign of the Union, but the badge
of a party! That the s'fraternal
feeling" that We pirate of can new
er exist between the oppressor
and the oppressedg The flag that
has covered and sanctioned every
known crime whose folds are
crimson with blood, and stained
with murder, and rape, and
arson, and robbery, can never,
though it float a thousand years
longer, become in the South
anything more or less than an
object of shuddering hatred and
singing scorn.
They may inscribe upon it's silk
en- folds the names of such bate
fields as Manassas, Fair Oaks,
Fredericksburg, Charlottesville,
and Gettysburg; but the faithful
historian shall erase them, and,
with a pen of iron and the point
of a diamondd, written their stead
the names Of the dread catalogue
of crimes committed beneath it's
folds.
Away with the rag!-there's
blood on it!-[Southern Opinion.

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS
at is great thing to mind your
own business" said a certain phi
losopher, and he was right. It is
a "great thing" to let other peo-
pies business alone, and this
much is implied by the maxim
above quoted. There is no class
OF pests in modern society so SUI
perlatiVely contemplate as that
class known as tattlers, or med
oilers in other peoples business.
We don't admire a thief; we have
no affinity for gamblers; we abom-
mate drunkards, and we have no
respect for misers; but either of
these are first class gentlemen in
comparison with the inquisitive,
jealous-minded tattler who goes
housing about in the garb of So
cial responsibility, poking his nose
or his fingers in the affairs of his
neighbors, and Selling upon every
tritflng circumstance that comes
within the wide scope of his re-
morseless curiosity, forthe purpose
OF making capital against those
whose character he cannot under.
stand, because pure and above
impeachment. These mischief
making busy-bodies are simply an
unmitigated nuisance, and should
be frOwned upon by all sincere
lovers of social peace and hap
piness. The man OF woman who
can find no better employment
than tattling had better jump into
the nearest body Of water and be-
come food for respectable fishes.
In that way the the finny tribe
would gain a little in their com.
mlssary department, and society
above water would be immensely
purified.

% We heartily endorse the
following language of the Hon.
John Forsyth, of the Mobile Reg.
lister. They are words ftly spoken,
and should meet the just aps
proval of every Southern man
who has at heart the good of bis
country: Ea@
"We are the friends Of tho
Southern negroes so long as they
prove our friends; but when they
sell their votes to strangers and
adventures to degrade us polid-
cally, and ruin our prosperity as
a community, and as indiyidaals,
we are no longer their friends
but their enemies, and we weah
neither employ, help nor sueoOr them
sn any manner or form. Let South
ern negroes stand by Soufhazn
white men, and there win DO
peace, harmony and prosperity
for all. If, on the other hand.
they join with our enemies to
trample us under foot, then look

( R. G. Daniels, Esq, arrived in this
/ city yesterday. He is we'll known
among our business men as one of the
OriginstOrs Of the Merchants National
Bank, and its first Cashier. At the meet
ing Of the Directors, which will be held
to-day, and at which the committee will
report, it will be decided whether the
bank will re-oren or so into liquidation.
In the event of its opening, Mr.. Daniels
will resume his old position as Cashier.
Possibly there is no step which could be
taken towards re-instating the bank in
public favor that would prove more salts
factory than the announcement that
Mr.. Daniels will again become con-
necIei with it.

soon as there are any upon the market. |
All Bonds issued for Scrip, after the |

OF our authorities, as there were many /

movement was first projected, would not
agree to receive bonds even at 40c on the |
