From all parts of the State we hear of ne

The negroes will yet learn that the Southern
whites are their best friends. They have
weighed the carpet-baggers and Adventures in
the balance, and found them wanting. They
are beginning to find out that Hunnicutt is only
using them to get the Governorship, and they
will find that all their other loud moutheC
friends are but enemies in disguise. The only
friends that the negroes ever had or ever viii

For the Spectator.
The Hearts Dearest Treasures.

There's neat little cot in the mountains
That border my own native State,
There the waters gush pure from the fountains,
And glad smiles the weary await.
IT'S the long cherish home of my childhood,
The scene of enjoyments that were;
And love the dark cliffs and the Wildwood
For my hearts dearest treasures are there.
To the wand rer, heart-stricken and weary,
Whose birth-right is Lberty's smile,
There's magic in home-howe'er dreary,
A picture that's sure to beguile.
And, though lonely that vine-cover'd dwelling,
Though wild blows the keen mountain air.
Still my heart for that homestead is swelling,
For its hottest treasures are there.
