The Young Men Of the
South.

The following eloquent appeal
to the young men of the South is
from the pen of Gen. D H. Hill;
Nov IS the suspicious time to
begin in our desolate but still beau
tiful South, to correct false notions
about the servile nature of work.
Those with us who have no need
to work with their own hands gen.
orally belong to that class who
srhank from the hardships of the
march and the dangers of the bat
tle-feld. Their purple and fine
linnen tell of speculation and ex-
tortion, the widows tears, the or
.phan's wall and the dead'soldier's
blood Away with them! Power
ty is now the badge Of nobility
1t speaks eloquently of heroism /;
patriotism, obliviouS of self and
selfish interest, generous sacrifice
of every thing upon the altar of
the country. No blazoned cap of
arms ever SO plainly proclaimed
honorable blood as does that old
faded uniform. Take heed. o, we
heroes of many a hard fought field,
lest YOU should bring a stain upon
your bright escutcheon. There is
cowardice which shrinks from
duty as well as cowardice which
shrinks from danger. IT'S just as
unmauly to fear "the worlds dread
laugh" as it is to fear the shot and
shell of an enemy's battery. 1t is
just as ignoble to neglect the obi
cations at home as to evade the
service owing the country. You
have been true to the land of your
birth be true to those who are
| bone of your bone and flesh of
your flesh. Your mothers, wives,
and sweethearts have not blushed
for your want of manhood in the
field let them not blush for your
efeminancy and slothfalness at
the fireside. But we believe in
the enduring manhood of the
Southern soldier. We believe that
he will meet toll and poverty in
the same noble spirit with which
he has met privations and peril
He is no settling to be crushed by
hardships and cut down by trouble
The lion in the path of the timid
and irresolute is but contempt
bic curt to him.

rigors of old time converts. "Suf

girl does run away from a. female
school, being duped by some worth

single isolated case ought not to

we are to form our judgment of

ed to had no expectation, as we
suppose, when she placed her
daughter in that mixed school
where she could "St,sdy the cAarac-

make this remark, not by way of

A Farmer Swindled Out
Of $500 in Memphis.

The Memphis Avalanche relates
the following incident of sharp
life in that city:
A quiet looking, respectable
farmer from Mississippi, named Jes-
Sc Gardner, arrived in the city
yesterday morning en- route to
Fort Smith.
Mr.. Gardner had about six hun
ldred dollars in his possession, and
while sitting in the reading-room
iof a Main street hotel yesterday
afternoon, he made the acquain-
tace of an affable well-dressed
individual, who soon got into con-
versation with Lin, and in short
time ascertained the name of the
place Mr.. Gardner was journeying
to, and all about the six hundred
dollars which he had in the inside
pocket of his vest. By a strange
coincidence, the affable individual
was also about to make a journey
to Fort Smith, coolly stating that
he was a merchant in that place
and was carrying on rather an ex-
tensive business there.
Mr.. Gardner expressed himself
highly delighted at learning these
facts, and his newly-found friend
seemed to be equally we'll pleased
to relate them. He informed Mr..
Gardner that he was about to go
down to Second street to purchase
a number of mules, and requested
that gentleman to go along with
him and give him the benefit of
his judgment in such matters as
mule trading. To this Mr.. Gard
ner promptly consented, and they
left the hotel together. While
walking down Union street a third
party, also of the well-dressed or
der, came up, and, accosting Mr..
Gardeners friend, presented bill
Of six or seven hundred dollars
for goods which he said he had |
just shipped to Fort Smith on his
account. Unfortunately the indi-
vidual in question had only in his
possession a check for a large a.
purporting to be on one
IF the city banks. In this emer-
yency he applied to Mr.. Gardner
or assistance, and the wallet con-
.aining the six hundred was promp-
y placed at his service. The !
check was offered as security, but
his Mr.. Gardner declined, having
implicit confidence in
he word of his "friend," that the
would be refunded when
ever the bank was reached
Strange to say, however, in a few
minutes the 'friend" whom he
had SO timely met disappeared up
ane on Second street, and Mr..
Gardner waited long for his reap
but he came not.

Free Railroad Passes.

The President of the Nashville
and Decatur Railroad has recent
.ly presented the editor of the
Franklin Reuie1C with a compli-
mentary ticket over that road, at
will. While complimentary tick
cts are, in most cases, of little Pc
cuniary value to editors, inasmuch
as they can seldom find time to
make them available; and if only
the cost Of editorial notices of rail-
roads be considered, these do not
pay the expenses of composition,
yet we view the connection be-
tween the railroads as press and
involving other than mere pecu-
MARY considerations.
Railroads are the leading feature
in the internal improvements of
the country; every class of society,
merchants, manufacturers, capital
lists, mechanics, farmers, all are
alike deeply interested in their
progress, consequently they de-
servedly occupy the greater por-
ton of the attention of the commu-
nifty at large, and thus become le-
ultimately a leading theme of re-
mark and discussion in the news
papers of the country, and in such
a manner too, that while the rail-
road system is benefited by the no
tees of the press, the press has no OPP
portunity, except in particular in
stances, of making specific pecu-
mary charges in return; nor should
such be made, the subject being a
matter of interest to the readers
of newspapers as we'll as of profit
to the railroads. Nevertheless, the
least that railroad companies can
do under the circumstances, is to &C
cord the courtesies of their several
lines to the press freely; and this
we have, with scarcely an excep-
ton, ever found them ready to do.
And this, too, the press can as free
ly accept at their hands without
any fear of compromising that self
respect and independence of char
acter which it is presumed should
attach to the editorial profession.
