4 SAD SPECTACLE.
The BenOuenent.

We saw yesterday morning, at the
Mayors Office, one of those sad and pitt
able spectacles which we meet in all large
and crowded cities, and which makes US
feel sorrowful and gloomy. There was q
group of the unfortunate Of earth who have
scarce place wherein to lay their heads.
They consisted of an elderly lady, and
younger woman, apparently the daughter,
in the tattered weeds of widowhood. She
was pale, wan and emaciated, with an in
FAINT at the breast almost barren
of nutriment, and three other
small children. They we're all thinly
clad and in a state of utter destitu-
ton. The mother of the children sat sad
and silent, the picture of despair. Her
haggard face was scanned with premature
wrinkles, along which scalding tears would
flow and drop upon her skeleton babe, as
her dropping chin rested In her bony hand.
She rocked herself to and fro, keeping time
to the low beats and almost dead monotone of
hercrushedh heart. They were seeking trans
portation to Cairo; through the solicitude of
his Honor the Mayor and our worthy Mar
shall, transportation was secured on one of
our accommodation river packets, and the
mournful group was to depart last eve
ming. Though destitute and among strang-
ers, it'could not be exactly said of that
lone mother,
"Alas for the rarity
Of human charity
Under the sun;
Oh, how pitiful,
With whole city full,
Friends she had none"
Now we come to the denonment Of this
sad scene. The elder of the women evi-
IDENTIFY did not appreciate the surroundings
or the situation. After the Marshal had
returned, announcing the arrangements
made, and the time of the boat leaving,
the valiant heroine showed herself to be
almost as much of termagant as q mendi-
cant. She said they would have to have
to have some money too, that they would
be fined if on landing at Cairo
they had not money enough to take
care of them a few days When informed
that the boat would not leave till eve
ming, she said she would go aboard anC
they would take state-room, and remain
till the steamer left. The Mayor quietly
told her that they would have to go Oh
deck.
Son deck Lord, amt thar whar niggerl
go?" she asked. II presume they do
sometimes" politely responded the Mayor
" I'm from Gorgy, and I'll never go thar,
she said 81 won't belittle myself witt
niggers, not !" Madame" said thu
Mayor, you can go where you please;
| and this terminated the interview.

Attention, Planters-FTOId Your Cot
ton and Get Thirty Gents.

The report from every town in the South
is the same-''very light stocks of cotton
offering and demand great" Orders have
been sent out to purchase every bale
offered. These orders are flowing in from
the North, and from Liverpool and Havre.
Northern spectators have engaged to
deliver near half a million bales, during
the months of January, March, and April
Very little spot cotton can be purchased
in New York City, where these deliveries
are to be made.
Easton & Co, IN their Circular of the
18th of January, say that we do not know a
poiLt in the South from which cotton can
be brought here, to pay out, even without
commissions. They further say that what
grade, not above good ordinary. Much
of it, they say, lis stained and dusty"
Spinners as well as spectators, must
therefore look to the Southern mar
kets for supplies to run their mills, and fill
contracts tor future deliveries.
The latest news from Liverpool is encour-
aging. It shows that the East India crop
tor 1869, will fall far short Of 1868 The
shipments from Bombay during the month
of December, were 5000 bales less than
for the corresponding month in 1868. In
the last circular of w. G. Watts d Co., of
Liverpool, the stock of cotton in Bombay
and on shipboard there, is estimated at
1915. 600 bales less than same time a year
ago What do all these fact, signify?
Plainly and Enthusiastically that every man
in the South who owns a bale Of cotton,
should hold it at all hazards; and
thus corner the market and get
thirty cents pound for it within the next
ninety days Cotton goes up every spring
anyway: but if planters will now take our
advice. (for which We do not charge a cent
and hold firmly, they will not have to wait
long before realizing thirty cents for their
cotton. Therefore, we say again, hold
your cotton, planters. The game is in
your own hands, and if you fail to win now,
you deserve to get nothing and to receive
no sympathy from disinterested parties
who are watching the game between the
Northern spectators aud spinners, and
Southern planters.
The above Is extracted from the Eufaula
Ners of the 18th inst, and commenting
upon the views here expressed, the Macon

Our attention having been called to the
foregoing in the Eufaula Nesrs, Of the 18th,
we copy it merely to say that we have very
grave doubts about the soundness Of the
advice it gives to planters. A great many

Railroad Accident.

An accident happened on the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad, between Glendale
and Sonora, early Monday morning, which
resulted in the serious if not fatal injury of
young man named Downing Hurst, a
brakeman. He was on the freight train
bound north, and in going from one car to
another slipped, and fell between, breaking
both legs and one Of his arms. He was
taken to Ehzabethtown and surgical atten-
ton procured by the railroad company.
One Of his legs had to be amputated. His
physicians think it possible that he may
recover, though he is in a very precarious
condition. He is being cared for at the
expense of the railroad company, and
everything is being done to make him com
Portable. His parents are said to reside in

Maxwell House Hop.

The Maxwell House last night was res
plendent with the beauty and fashion of
Nashville, and the chop was in every res
pect most brilliant affair. The magnif-
cent building, which is the pride and boast
of our city, was brilliantly lighted up, and
a dazzling array of beauty filed thespacious
parlors, while the spacious dancing room
was scene, where graceful forms were
fitting by, like so many fairies.
Soft silks fair forms ENHANCING
Prismatic hued, swept by,
And looks of love enhancing
Graced many lip and eye
1t would require too much time and
space at this late hour to attempt ar elab-
crate description of the dashing bellies and
gallant beaux that participated in the
''meanderings Of the may dance" Our
city seemed to have sent out her brightest
stars. Here We see a girlish little beauty,
"Fresher than the morning rose,
When the dew vets its leaves, unstained and pure,
As is the lily or the mountain snow
In a set opposite there is a form of fin
ished grace. She plays her wiles and
throws her glances with misChievous and
subduing effect.
1" Her smiles as sunbealns,
Upon the opening flower,
So full of light and life,
And joy-insplring power"
There again is little stranger beauty,
sweet Venus in miniature, reminding
one of what the poet has sung:
Her easy motion, her attractive air,
Her sweet behavior, and enchanting face,
Her moving softness and majestic grace
That intellectual lady, too, dressed in so
much taste, smiling and giving kind
word everywhere she goes, whose ease, ele-
gance and gracefulness shows the model
lady,
ION her brow
lofty intellect had set its seal,
A soul of beauty beamed from her bright eyes,
And lovliness did linger round her form,
As clouds around the sunset"
There Just beyond, is another sylph-like
form, whose modest and retiring mien is
an unerring index to the purity of her
heart
Fresh as the rose in the gay dewy morning,
And sweet as the lily at the evenings close
But here again is one whose glance is as
bright and smiling as a sunbeam. She
leaves her partner in ''swing corners and
drops nickel or two in the lap of little
child seated near Even in the gay crowd
which surrounded her, her mind still ling
cred back to the scenes of last week, when
she was so Jealous in behalf of the Confed-
crate orphans. Just little forgetfulness
as TO the occasion, and we assure
her that the little episode was so
highly appreciated by us that had the
leader of the band at that moment struck
up ''Forked Deer, Sugar in the Gourd,
or some other familiar air, we would have
been one of the ''dancists' right there and
then.
We regret that want of space will not
allow US to proceed. We were simply

scene, and must congratulate Mr.. Kean
upon the very pleasing entertainment
given to his numerous guests.
