wards. We believe there were none
present of less than one year old.
When we reached the tented and fatal
field,
The ''red hot" sun was pouring down
Upon the meadows sere and brown.
Where stood youth with bat ON hioh.
Who to his comrades yelled the cry
Red hot"
His brow was barred his eye was black,
his coat was torn from of his back;
But STILL like battered bugle rung
The accents Of that swollen tongue,
Red hot"
That was Minty. The way that boy
did sweat and run was a caution. Then
came another, Rutherford, one of the
foundrymen.
Around the field he saw the light

just by his head ball has flown,

'iBase BALI"
Now stop the game" an old man said,
The second base has smashed his head;
The pitcher. too has sprained his wrist,
Inc umpire 8 brain is in a mist

The game was a queer one. There
were more muffs visible than in the
largest furrier shop in the country.
One of the boys had funny way OF
stopping the ball. Whenever one came
in his neighborhood, he would turn
round and catch it just below the sus'
pender buttons on the rear of his pants.
He got one red hot one, and then
Used up, he sank upon the ground,
While plying comrades gathered Iound,
And in the awful throes Of death,
He murmured, with his latest breath
Gosh, it hurts!"
The rain threatening, the game was
closed at the end of the seventh inning,
the printers having made nine tallies
on the first half of the eighth inning,
with one man out,-the score standing

In some remarks which we made upon
political organization in South Carolina,
we threw out the suggestion that at this
time. With thes general elections in this
State,nos to come of for a year and more,
it would not be wise to abandon sour
present allianSe with The Democratic
party OF the country, and take up such a
policy as that proposed in the Winns.
boro Ne,cs, which is to initiate Virginia
and Tennessee. And further, in refer.
ence to the suggestion Of our friend of
the Edgeiald Aduertiser. that. we pro-
ceed forthwith, to form Democratic clubs
and take the Held as political organiza-
ton, we answered in effect that it was
premature to oadopt these acliue measures,
our reason for that caution being that
there was no practical fight to be now
made, the energies and spirit of the party
would be dissipated before the time for
action at the ballot.box should arrive.
These remarks, which discreet people
generally will no doubt appreciate, we
find wholly misconstrued by the Wins
boro News. If the Ne,os, however, shall
continue to read our articles, and can
command a sufficiently u mpassioned
state of feeling, it will no doubt change
its present views of our spirit and policy.
1t will find that policy no undecided or
doubtful one, and we hope too that we
shall show ourselves ready to lead when
ever we think an onward movement to
be demanded by the dictates of wise
generalship. AS for the sneers and
taunts which the Ne,cs INDUCES in, we
have neither taste nor time for reply.
Believing with all English divine that
good temper is worth 500 pounds year,
we hope not to lose ours, and ut all times
to have regard for the amenities of an
elavated journalism.
