TO My Hat.

10 MY Hat.
Friends must part, andso must we,
Though the parting sad will BE-,
Old hat.
Thou my old and well-tried friend,
Canst no more my steps attend,
Or from harm nv head defend,
Old hat.
We have, many and many day,
Close companions, kept our way;
Whether sad, or whether gay,
Old hat.
Thou to me hath surely been
Dearest hat these eyes have seen.
We have Travelled long together,
Seen all kinds of wind and weather,
Old hat.
Rain and hail, and awful blows,
Sunshine, storm and driving SHOWS,
All the changes nature knows,
All that,
Old hat.
You and have seen, and more,
Since the time when out of store,
did wear thee, big with pride;
On my head thou, tipped, didst ride,
Hat of all the hats beside,
Old hat.
Now thy form is surely battered,
And thy sides are sorely tattered,
And thy brim is sorely shattered,
Old hat.
And thou lookest all so dusty,
And thou smellest all SO musty,
That I say, Farewell,
Old hat,
Farewell.

tain the pardon of Newton Mercer

that it may fail in its object. An
application has already boon made to
the Governor, which ho refused; and
announced that he would refuse un-
less it first obtained the consent of our
people and tho endorsement of Judge
Orr. We believe that it will fail in
both respects, for the simple reason
that the sentences were unusually
mild. Such is tho concurrent scnti.
ment i'll the community, and wo be,

matter. Tho Governor has exercised

Items by the Census Taker.

We arc indebted TO Mr.. T.. w. Moore,
one Of the Assistant Marshals for ia
king tho Census Of our District, for
the following items, gathered from the
record Of operations on tho Savannah
side.
John Crcsswcll and wife, aged S3
and % years respectively, natives Of
the District, and residents Of that see
ton below hero known as "IrclaDd,"
have scarcely ever been beyond sight
of the smoke Of their own chi,nncys,
and strange to say have never seen 4
railroad car. They still indulge the
hope Of being gratiticd before they
die.
Della Boscdc!l, native Of Virginia,
born in 1860, (that year which wit
messed tho birth aliko of Napoleon
and Wcliington,) and hence 101 years
OF age, is very active old lady, living
in tho southwest section OF tho Dis
trict-able still to take good deal
outdoor exercise.
Mary Hawkins, colorcd, living on
tho Patterson place, has attained the
goodly ago of los years.
A Acolorcd rlliving at Mr.. Z. Scarlcs'
place, is 10 years Of ago, and has at
taincd tho astonishing height of q
feet. Had she boon fair, and General
Tom Thumb a w;dowcr, wo should
have suggested matrimonial alliance.
Tho cotton returns, SO far as dsclo-
scd by the Census, would seem to give
an aggregate of over 1000 bales for
Tho District.
