lions, the premium, beautiful massive
silver service of six pieces, valued at fifty

The LoYaI scallawags.

A good portion of the loyal scallawags
who go round the country prating about
their service in the army, and making loyal
speeches, belonged to the commissary de-
partments, or hung round the hospitals and
would hand a sick soldier a tract with one
hand and steal the jelly his mother had sent
him with the other. And many of the Of
fee holders and monied men of the couu-
try, some of whose names we could write,
made their money by turning against their
own people, and, during the war, took adj
vantage of the power they had gained by
their baseness, and swindled their neigh
bors out Of their cotton &C., and extorted
large SUMS from them for small favors.-
Such men can now we'll afford to iide in
their carriages. build imposing edifces,
and contribute large sums to the churches
which they disgrace by their membership.
Other loyal scalawags, now holding office,
that We know of. who are trying to play
two handed game in politics now, uncertain
which will be the popular side, tried to
play the same game during the war, by
Joining the Southern army, and after they
had stolen all they could and were about to
be detected and punished, deserted to the
enemy, and are to-day in high official posi-
ton. To such men, (and We know who
we are talking to- we would say, you had
better, as a mattey of policy, show up your
hands and quit trying to cheat. Every
body knows exactly how you stand. and
your duplicity will not benefit you. If
your own party remains in power it will be
better for you if you can prove unwaver-
ing fealty all the time; and if, on the other
hand justice and right prevail, your past
course damns you for all time with the De-
mocratiC party and you can expect no ia
fOrs from them. So, you have nothing to
gain by playing pig and puppy, and, may
hap, all to loose.

Another Gle COUNTY Mongtrosity.

Mr.. Solinski, Hebrew merchant of this
place, as we learn from Nashville CO.
temporary, has made arrangements for
carrying into that city, from Pulaski,
calf with two heads and four horns. This
calf came into the world on farm in this
county, near LyunvilIe, few weeks ago.
The two heads are equally perfect aud well
developed, for the age of the animal. The
horns are already an inch long each, and
have marvelously sharp points. 1t feeds
with both mouths, and was known to suck
le from two different COWS at once-cows
which had been driven up close together
for the purpose of testing the gastronomi-
cal abilities of the young monster. The
two inside ,eyes are observed to be a
dark green color, and the two outside ones
a light brown. When the inside eyes are
covered, the animal attempts to eat the red
earth, and when those outside are covered
it will touch nothing but hay or straw.
