Are we Partizan ?


Do not become too partizan :" Such was
the admoniton of subscriber short time
since, says the Banner Of the South We dis
claim all partizanship. Neither are we polili-
clans, nor place-hunters. We seek only to
promote the interests Of our Religion and the
welfare Of our Country The former has pen
etrated the thick clouds Of prejudice. and her
glory and her greatness shine respleudent
throughout this broad Southern land the lat
ter-our Country, Our South-is sorely op-
pressed the heavy hand Of the despot is on
her, crushing out her hearts blood, drop by
drop. 1t is this most foul injustice, this ma
tonal disgrace, this frstricide, that makes us
partizan, if partizan we are. But we disclaim
it. Ii, however, it be considered rartizau to
uphold the justice Of the Southern cause; to
cherish its defeats aud its triumphs; to vene-
rate its dead, and to love its living, heroes to
denounce the national disgrace, the Radical
Congress; to protest against and condemn Rad
ical reconstruction to denounce military rule,
and its legitimate sequence, military despo-
tsIn to cry out against the injustice and the
sin Of military commissions, and the arrest and
Imprisonment of Our people, without any re-
gard to the forms of Justice and law; to abhOr
the elevation to Office of bad and unprincipled
men, outcasts and perjurers to protest against
the degradation of dePosing intelligence, re-
spectability, and capacity, from the places of
honor and trust, in our Southern land, to give
place to ignorance, vice and low cunning; to
proclaim and insist that this is a 'chite mans
Government and that the South is entitled to
her constitutional rights in the Union as CO.
equal sovereign States; it, therefore, in
word, it be partzauship to condemn what is
radically wrong, and to approve and advocate
what we have been taught, and what we be-
Heve, to be right, is to he partizan, then we
are content 10 be so anl we want to be a.
ways partizans Of right as against might-of
the oppressed against the oppressor-of the
bleeding. manaced South against the despo-
tism of Radcalism and the tyranny which nov
grinds us in the dust So long as our Father
above gives us the strength and the ability to
defend our birthright, We shall plead for it,
and never strike a truce with the merccss
enemy who is now robbing us Of all that Is
dear to the heart Of every Southerncr. This,
and only this, is the meaning Of our par;izan-
ship.

Western Ideas Of "Fun." !"

A Wisconsin paper gives the following
graphic but not flattering illustration Of society
in Oshkosh, in the same State:
A minister from neighboring town started
TO 20, one day last week, on kind Of mission
ary enterprise. He drove his own team, and
when within six miles Of the end OF bis jOtrney,
he met a man limping along, with the blood
running down the side OF his face. The min
lister asked him if that was the road to Osh-
kosh. Yes you are on the right road. Just
came from there. | have been mp there having
a little fun with the boys" About two miles
further on be met another man, one arm in
sling, one eye badly bunged, AMI his clothes in
a dilapidated condition. How far is il To
Oshkosh ?" asked the minister "Only th-i-cl
five miles" answered the pitiable object
oshkosh is live town. I've been up there
having fun with the boys"
With sad heart the minister drove on, fall
ing into revery on the deprayity Of man in
general, and the Osbkosians in particular, when
he suddenly came upon man sitting by the
side Of the road One arm was sprained, one
ear had been bitten off, and, seated by the side
Of puddle Of water, he was seeking relief by
bathing the part effected The minister was
perfectly awe-stricken. Stopping his horse he
inquired Of the man what terrible accident had
befallen him. 90. not any at all, family re-
sponded the bleeding wreck; al have only
been up to Oshkosh, having little fun with
the boys "I suppose you mean by that that
YOU have been engaged in some brutslizng
fight" said the minister " Yes said the man,
q have heard that's what they callit down at
Fon du Lac, where they are civilized; but
they don't call it by that name up at Oshkosh.
There they call it having little fun with the
boys" What do you suppose your wife will
say when she sees your" asked the reverend
gentleman.
At this the man looked up with a sardonic
smile. Putting bis remaining well hand in a
pocket, he pulled out a piece Of nose, large
lock of hair, to which a part Of the scalp was
attached, and a piece Of flesh he had bitten
from the neck of bis opponent, aud holding
them out for the ministers inspection, growled
out "There, what do you suppose his wife
will say when she sees him." This was a
squelcher. IS anxious as the minister was to
overcome sin and do good, he was not yet pre-
pared to invade the devils stronghold; and,
turning round, be returned home. The next
time he starts on a missionary enterprise to the
frontier of Oshkosh he viii take good care not
to 20 alone. He likes little fun now and
then, but be don't care about having it with
the boys.

A New Application of the Power of
Prayer.


In the impeachment farce, the Banner q
the South says all sorts Of appliances were
employed in order to procure the deposition OF
the President. The country was ransacked fer
evidence; witnesses were summoned from al!
points of the compass; much testimony was
manufactured to order; great amount OF
money was spent Satan knows how and WHY;
letters poured in from all parts of the country,
demanding. right or wrong, the Presidents
conviction a vast deal of betting had its own
influence; but there was another power brought
to bear Upon the case-unknown hitherto In
trials and tribunals--the power of prayer. a
certain member of the Impeachment gang be-
pan to Tacillate in regard to the manner in
which he would vote Another member, in
great anxiety, telegraphs 10 a certain so-eslled
Bishop Simpson the sad news of the probable
detection Of the above member from the Radi-
cal side. Straghtway the so-called Bishop
telegraphs "Pray with Brother Wiley and
Bishop Simpsons friend did pray with Brother
WILEY. and he was saved, and cast his vote
against the President So much for the power
of prayer. And thus We progress. First came
political preaching; then followed political
praying; then came war sermons; then fol-
lowed war prayers then originated Recon-
struct,on preaching; then Reconstruction pray
ers then impeachment sermons; then Anti
Andrew johnson prayers. And next, we ex-
pect Grant Sermons aud Grant prayers. And
it all plainly proves that this is the "best Go
vernment the world ever saw"

NfISCELLANY.
Couldn't Get the Right Flop.

In ls43. during the Millerite excitement IN
the town of Durham, Ne9s Hampshire, old
Aunt Sally II, who would weigh nigh
onto two hundred pounds" one evening 10
meeting. in the midst Of warm cxhortaton,
rose and said go, brethren and sisters, bless
the Lord, I'll soon get away from this wicked
world I'm going to meet the Lord in few
days. by faith is powerful strong! yes,
powerful strong it is So strong" continued
the old lady, extending her arms and motion
ing them like goose on the wing, "that it
does seem as if could fly right away now and
meet the Lord in the air" The minister, who
was as great an enthusiast on going up as
the old lady, encouraged her by exclaimng;
Try, sister, try! Perhaps you can fly, II
yoor faith is only strong enough" We'll
can she exclaimed, al know can, and will"
She was standing near window which was
raised because of the opprcssiyee heat-for It
was summer. With her handkerchief In one
hand and her fan in the other, she mounted
the seat and thence TO the top Of the pew, and
gave leap into the air with flying mot on
of her arms, expecting TO ascend beavenwaTd.
But the law of grayitation was too much for
both her faith aud the gravity Of the audissce.
Down she came with an enortnots and not very
angelic grint shaking the whole house with
the conclusion. She arose. folded her wings.
and with great meekness sneaked back into
her seat evidently disappointed. The next
evening some of the young folks asked her
"Aunt Sally, why didn't you fly last night
when Won tried SO hard 2" 81 couldn't get
the right fop," was the meek and conyulsivo
reply.

The Bachelors Song.


I've been in love some fifty times
Perhaps with fitty mirxes--
Prom ladies, like the mermaidensl
To ladi,s like the sphinxes.
And some Of them had soft blue eyes
Which turned my head with wonder,
Whilst others were so piercing black
They rent my heart asunder.
Some we're as fair as lilies, white
Some, red as plump tomatoes,
Some we're as soft as July shad;
Some, too, like sieeef potatoes;
Some lisped and spoke Of " days gone by -
Love letters without number
Some sighed and in my arms they feili
But-n nds not 10 'lHmber.
Some had cheeks like new washed sheets.
And some as red as roses;
Some. luscious lips. like cherries, ripe
And some had cherry nose,l
Some had fine forms. from Venus mould,
Some, turned from tub, or barrel;
Some softly squeezed my either hand,
Whilst others tried 20 quarrel.
ButI have cast them all away,
And would as many more,
And scatter them on either side
Like sea-weed on the shore.
For they have often made me think
or pistols. rivers. hslters!
And have thought 20 kill myself
For mems coniounded dsughtersi
lod still an bachelor
Now living snug and quiet,
Except when with my cats and dogs
| raise thuud'ring riot.
think no more Of tender sighs
Nor make myself look thinner
But all my love and sentiment
lavish on my dinner.

turis.. is taken frm a Bremen paper. For
thirty years have found this method success
ful in preventing rust in wheat: Some hours
at the longest SIX or eight, before sowing, pre-
pare steep of three measures Of powdered
quicklime, and ten measures Of cattleunne--
Pour two quarts Of this upon peck OF wheat
and stir with spade till every kernel Is COW
cred white with it, By using wheat so pre-
pared, rust of every kind will be avoided and
| have noticed that, while. in the neighborng
fields great part Of the crop is affected by
rust, in mine, lying closely by it, not single
ear so affected could be found.

and beats off the ripest Kernels with stick
and uses the grain thus obtained for seed.
