Carpet Baggers VS.. scaIawngs.

From the Mobile Register.
A row is brewing in the interior of the
State between the pet-baggers-
Northern men who came South for the
express purpose of stealing oflices-and
wags-natives who joined the
thieves for the purpose of getting part
of the plunder. The native Radical
loudly complains that his Northern
partners not only do not divide fairly,
but they do not divideaT all. Mr.. Seal
awag is naturally irate at the breach of
faith which SO entirely ignores the
rOgue's maxim of "hOnesty among
thieves" We feel no further interest in
the dispute than that which arises from
the other maxim, that when rOgues
fall out just men get their rights" And
At the same tine we cannot affect any
grief over the disappointment of men
who, "like the base Indian, threw the
pearl away, richer than all his tribe"
and sold their fidelity to a suffering
country for tue hopes of paltTy office.
The Montgomery Advertiser has been
looking into thequestion of the division
of offices, and it finds the tracks all
pointing one way-the carpet. et.bagger
gets everything, the scslswag nothing.
1t says in conclusion:
snow we repeat and positively affirm
the incontrovertible fact, that Alabama
has no ether Representative, in either
House of Congress, than carpet -baggers,
persons lrhO hare Squatted in alabama
since the close Of The Drar. We hold this
to be stupendous wrong and imposture.
1t is an insult to the American character,
and especially to the people of Alabama.
1t is even abhorrent TO a majority of the
Western and Middle State Radicals. If
Messrs. Warner, Spencer, Buckley & Co.
were Solons, we should seek to depose
them, because, although they may hold
commissions, under color Of lar, they are,
in fact usurpers and tyrauts. The mean
ness of disposition which could induce
any man thus to seek office in Alabama,
under the circumstances which have
marked the conduct of these men, is
well-nigh indes-Trbable. But the mean
ness of any Southern man, for the sake
OF few paltry dollars, consenting to
his own degradation, and accepting of.
hces aud fayorS at their hands, is n thing
so politically disgraceful aud morally
offensive IN our conception, that We ac.
tually shrink from its contemplation.
80 1t appears that no citizen of Ala
bama can now receive An appointment
to any Office in our State, except by the
recommendation and consent of set of
carpet bag Congressman"

and shop. keepers, thrown out Of en-
ployment and out of business, would

rection all over the Kingdom. That

A LITTLE GOOsKY.

The following exquisitely simple verses, from
the pen Of an Unknown" will touch the hear
of every father and mother -
The chill November day was gone.
The working world home faring:
The wind came roaring through the streets
And set the gas lights haring;
And hopelessly and aimlassly
The scared old leaves were flying;
When mingling with the sOughing wind
heard small voice crying
And shivering on the corner stood
Achild of four or over; - tA u e..
No clsak nor hat her small soft arms,
And wind blown curls to cover.
Her dimpled face was stained with tears,
Her round, blue eyes ran over;
She cherished in her wee, cold hand,
A bunch Of faded clover.
And one hand round her treasure, while
She slipped in mine the other;
Han.scared, halfconfdsntial, said
oh please want my mother
leu me your street and number pet;
Don't cry I'll take you TO it."
Z Sobbing she answered 81 forget;
The organ made me do 1t. ...
He came and played at Milly's steps;
The monkey took the money,
And so followed down the street,
The monkey was so funny.
I've walked about a hundred hours,
From one street to another;
The monkeys gone, I've spoiled my mowers
Oh! please, want my mother.
''IIut what's yeur mothers name, and what
The street now think minute,
Ny mothers name is mamma dear
The street, can't begin II.
But what is strange about the heuse,
Or new, not like the others y
II guess you mean my trundle bed,
Mine and my little brothers.
"0h dear ought to be at home
To help him say his prayers,
He's such a baby he tOrgets,
And we are both suck players
And there's a bar between TO keep
From pitching on each other,
For Harry rolls when he s asleep
Oh dear ] want my mother"
The sky grew stormy; people passed
All mutfied hOmewaTd faring;
You'll have 10 spend the night with me"
said at last, despairing.

"Why! don't you knOwl' she smiling asked,
And drew il from her bosom.
A card, with number, street and name;

And so | wear little thing
That tells you all about it;
