The Innheeper's Dsughter.


FROM THE GERMAN OF INLAND.
Once journeyed three students far over the Rhine,
And stopped ct q wayside inn to dine.
"Dame Hostess, thou aellest good beer and wine
But where is thatpretty daughter Of thine ~
"My beer and my wine are fresh and clear,
But my daughters form lies cold on the bier"
Then the three young men with softened tread
To the still room went where lay the dead.
And one from the cold face the white shroud took,
And stood gazing there with sorrowful look.
"Ah were thou still living, o beautiful maid
To thee my vows Of love would be paid"
The next DER the pale face spread the shroui,
And turned him away and wept aloud.
"Alas that thou shouldst lie on thy bier
Ihaye loved thee SO dearly many year!'
The third youth approaching uplifted the veil,
And tenderly kissed the young lips 30 pale.
40 maiden maiden loved thee ever,
i love thee still. will love thee for ever ~

from ElOrida.

On the first page of our paper will be found
letter from q. NJ. McCully, formerly of this
county, which will probably interest some of
our readers. We have no doubt that the wri-
ter gives an accurate description of the coun-
try where he is at present located. and there
may be inducements to emigrnte In that direc-
ton. But--we give it as our opinion, and we
have been pretty extensive traveller in our
day--that man may go long distance before
he will find any better country, all things con-
sidered, than East Tennessee. 1t is true, there
are some drawbacks here at present, but in a
fcw'ycars these will disappear and the control
of affairs again pass into honest and competent
hands, when we shall have better and more
prosperous state of things than before. When
the spring-time comes our friends who recent
" emgrated to Florida will be signing for the
tall and gorgeous mountains, the green and
glowing hills, the broad and smiling valleys.
the bubbling springs and flowing streams of
East Tennessee. Besides, tits about the only
country now where one can obtain glass of
pure, untaxed whisky. We look to see them
all back in n year or two.

EDITOR POST; Having purchased the pro-
perty formerly owned by the Branch Bank of
Tennessee, we now hope to establish perina-
nently Female School Mt Athens; School
which shall embrace in its studies all the Sci
ences of the best Colleges, and where the
French Language, Music-Vocal and Instru-
mental and the Ornamental Branches will be
thoroughly taught. The School will be under
the superintendent of Mrs. SULLTNs, aided in
the several departments by the best assistants
that can be procured.
We will now proceed to repair and furnish
the buildings in away that we did not feel safe
in doing before. We are aware that an enter
prise of this kind must rely upon its own mer.
its for support. We have no eloquent Agent,
Board of Trustees, or strong Church to present
our claims and procure patronage. If, how
ever, we succeed, as we hope to do, in making
this good school, so that twill be the inter-
est of parents to educate their daughters here,
they will do it-otherwis they should not

committed to our charge. We board pupils
for three dollars per week: furnish table, good

ture, and fire-wood. The pupils attend to theil
own rooms, furnish lights, and pay seventy.
five cents per dozen for washing.
The buildings arc commodious, conveniently
located, and admirably arranged for schoo
purposes, and 1t shall be the effort of our lives

"politicianers'' generally. They are rapidly
learning that freedom means something more
than "doing nothin' and loating round"-
means labor, constant, unremitting toll, with
the full right to enjoy the proceeds and fruits

that the negroes who worked faithfully through
the past year have liberal share of it. Cotton

Cotton...Produce.

The remarkably heavy and steady advance
in the prize of cotton has given an upward
movement to Ill the leading articles of pro-
duce, as will be seen by reference to our mar
kct reports this week. Whether the advanc-
ing tendency is to continue much longer, we
will not undertake to say. Cotton we think
will not go much higher, but the prices of
produce will be maintained; and as the cult
walton of the great staple seems likely once
more to absorb all the industry within the cot
ton-growing belt, our farmers may rest assured
that they will hereafter have a remunerativc
market for all the surplus corn and meat they
can raise.
