DEATH OF Ex- GOVERNOR MoREnrAD OF
KENrUcKY.-The Vicksburg Times, of the
Oath, announces the death of the Hon.
Charles S. Morehead, Ex-Governor of
Kentucky. This sad event occurred at
the plantation of Governor Morehead. 1t
appears that his Clubhouse was announced
to be on fire, and that he started at once
for tho scene Of the disaster. AS he was
nearing the gin, the flames burst through
the roof, telling too plainly the story of
it's doom. The shock was too great.
Governor Morehead sank to the earth,
and in moment moro his proud spirit
had passed away without a word or sign.
Governor Morehead must have been near
ly seventy years old, and as an unsefish
patriot, an answering friend, and most
genial and honorable gentleman, he had
not his superior.

= The Charleston Ne'rs says that Son.
ator Sprague, of Rhode Island, at a din
ner party given to him the other day at
the Charleston Hotel, by few leading
citizens, said that "it would surprise the
people of the South. and still more sur
prise the people of the North, to know
what is fact-that the best cotton fac
tory of it's size and kind in America is to
be found in the city of Augusta, Georgia;
and that in looking at the subject from a
manufacturers point of view, taking the
productions per hand and per spindle, and
comparing them with the work in other
mills running on the same class Ct goods,
he found that these Southern goods were
equal to any of their kind seen in the
Northern markets"

An Eloquent Tribute to the Wo-
men of tha South.

The following beautiful compliment to
the daughters of Mississippi is from re-
cent, address delivered by Gen. Albert
Pike, in DeSoto county, Miss:
Mothers, wives, sisters, daughters of the
men OF Mississippi, l cannot speak to you.
No angel has touched my lips with the
burning Goals from the altar of the sacri-
fee. 1 leave to others the fine phrases
and tho empty compliments that you
would not value. What you have dons
in the past is sufficient guarantee Of your
hsroism and devotion in the future. You
have more than rivalled, you have excell-
ed the women of Saragossa and Verona:
and the Hebrew matrons and maidens
who helped to defend the holy city of Je-
rusalem against the legions of Vespasian.
You will also do your duty in the days,
dark or bright, that are to come. You
will teach those who love your fidelity to
principle amid all temptations TO prefer
henor to prosperity, and the dangerous
truth to the safe and profitable falsehood;
constancy and courage, and the manly
and hopeful endurance that BELTS man.
You are, the conquerors who take all men
captive, and whose silken tetters, stronger
than tempered steel, We are glad and
proud to wear. Into our souls your eyes
seem like stars, and we bow down and
worship, and in love find new strength to
undertake great enterprises or endure
great calamities. o! flowers sent to us
by the angels from the garden of Paradise,
you bloom here to bless, to encourage and
to console. We are all your slaves. Age
gives no exception from that service; for,
in the sad and SOBER autumn Of our days,
we still covet the loving smile and loving
look that can be ours no more. The sober
autumn of our days! Feryou, the bright
and CAD anticipations of the future the
dreams that make youths happiness; for
us the memories OF the past, of joys and
sorrows intermingled, of hopes and loves,
and bitter disappointments and cruel
losses, Of the days that are no more. Our
country, also, our own dear Southland t. at
you love 30 we'll, has it's memories Of the
past, of glad, bright dawn and morn
ing full of promise, that darkened into
dsy full of gloom, and terror, and disas-
ter. Out of that darkness the faces of
our dead look sadly. and pityingly and
lovingly upon u.s. They have not died in
vain. The land they died for shall yet
reap the fruit of their great sacrifice. Our
country, also, has its hopes, that are not
delusive for the future. To it, the sober
autumn Gays have not ceme-nor even
those of life's summer. For it, the rosy
days of spring have not departed, though
the immortelles planted by angels bloom
on many graves.

THE NEW YEAR.

The year is dsad-gone to the shadow land,
Borne DER the tide of Deaths cold mystic river;
It comes not back to walk this earthly strand,
But sleeps beside the years gone on before,
To wake no more
Till Heavens bright dawn breaks Ger our
9 world forever.
Amid the archives of the unknown world,
Are laid the ills we've wrought, the good we've
done,
And future days await to be unfurled,
As now we herald in the new born year,
And so u is here
Another page in Times great book begun.
We deem the future opens far and wide;
There In NO future hero; tits all to-day;
Zen now stern Azrael whispers at our side,
.Within the book of Fate write what you WILL
Of good or ILL.,
The day is dawning Time brooks no delay
Then ON this pure and freshly opened page
Let words Of truth, immortal deeds be traced
MayEe'er such noble thoughts. our SOUL engage
That if perchence we bid this year adieu-
Our page review
There shall be naughs we fain would see erased.

WHO ARE DRUNKARDs?-Young
friends, did you ever think who
drunkards are? The New-Hamp-
shire Temperance Committee, in
an address to the ministers OF that
State, say, "Drunkards are gene
rally drinking young men grown
up." If, then, there were no
drinking young men. there would
he few drunkards. But whore do
the drinking young men come
from? Why, Of course, they come
from the children. IF all the chill
dren, then, were pledged against
the use of everything that can in
toxicate, there would be no drink
ing Young men, and consequently
but few if any drunkards: If not
ruined young men, they probably
never would be. So they must be
saved young, or not at al" I"
Think Of that, young friends, and
take your stand on the side OF
of temperance now. Remember
that "Drunkards are commonly
drinking young men grown up"
And these drinking young men
are commonly unpledged children
grown into young men. That rs
v we trust all those who, when chill.
dren, pledged themselves to total
abstinence and have remained
faithful to their promise-good
soldiers.-Friend Of Temperance.
