IF Mr.. Boutwell, hsd used the Surplus
revenue which has been lying idle in his
hands in the purchase of the debt he
would have saved during the period of his
administration of the Treasury twenty
millions of dollars at least. There was
no necessity to hold from hundred mil
lions to hundred and thirty millions of
unemployed dead capital in the Treasury
vaults. For The current requirements of
the government the revenue has always
been coming In faster and in larger
volume that the amount went out for ex-
penditues. Had every dollar been cleared
out of the Treasury any month that Mr..
Boutwell, has been in office there wsuld
have been surplus again the next
month.

NORTHERN GEORGIA, like Eastern Ten
nessee, has been almost desolated by
droulh- Such is the effect of the ca
lamity in Eastern Tennessee that the
people will demand the reduction of the
State tax to minimum. In wide dis
tricts the value of wheat crops did not
exceed that of the grain that was sowed.
The corn crop, save along rivers, is
almost valueless, and, of course, the hog
crop will be a failure.

LEICESTER. - Mr.. Editor In the
Register of two weeks ago | noticed
slight reprimand to miss Caution" who
it seems was somewhat incensed on ac-
count ofthe nonappearance other verses
in your paper, and for the satisfaction of
those who "don't know exactly, bat rather
think it it Mrs. Stanley" would say
that in no particular does il apply to her.
"Caution" is the last word in the English
language that she would make use of az q
nom de plume.
The author of the oversees must be II
new "star" in the literary heavens, who
sends out her first rays of light cautiously,
lest, porchance they may dazzle.
But that has nothing to do with this
glorious spring weather, the like of (which,
who ever saw in the first days of March
The robins are out with their witching
songs, and the crows are laughing from
morning till night. The brooks are
whispering along through the grassy
valleys, and singing their anthems among
the rocks. But the sold folks" say,
"Don't take take too much stock in this
fine weather we shall catch it by-and-by.
Well, may be we SHALL but intend to
enjoy the bountiful present, for it seems
to be all we are really certain Of.
But, Mr.. Editor, many and various
are the specuations as to the cause OF
this pleasant weather thus early in the
season.
Some think that the earthquakes with.
in the past year have logged US south
some three hundred miles. This brings
us in the latitude Of peaches. l am
particularly glad of this,f for | have always
wished to live where we could raise
peaches, and now to be there without the
trouble Of packing up" and moving, is Q
"leetle" more than had dared to ask for
If some friendly earthquake will be sc
amiable as to give us one more nudge
and leave us in the delightful climate O
oranges and lemons, I'll never ask another
favor in that direction, and shall fee
about as happy as that old lady did, wh'
had always lived in South Carolina, bu
the line between the states being changed
it left her in North Carolina. She wa
very glad Of the change, she had Away
wanted to live in North Carolina, it wa
so much healthier than South Carolina
But be that as it may, while peopl
are specializing upon the causes of OIL
early spring, | will drink in the beautie
3 of the hour, not troubling my brains a
, to the how or why spring has come JUS
at this particular time. IT'S enough 70
, one to know that she is here, and that
am blessed with health and disposition
