twenty bales of cotton having caught fire
from sparks from the engine, which at
one time threatened to spread to large

it occurred, the loss would have been
heavy. After much exertion the fire was
extinguished Some protection for such
infamable material should be immedi'
ately adopted by the Empire press COM

TO A MARRIED LADY,
WHO WAS ONCE A YOUNG GIRL
BY ". j. SLATER.

Youtell me that I'm growing DID,
You say my love is chane'd;
And tnat my heart. which once was bold
In love, is now cstrang't.
You say I coldly pass you by,
When now and then we meet,
And YOU can 'read it in my eye
That love no more is sweet.
And this and that, and many things
You bring to mind of me
And things l thought that Times fleet
wings
HaG borne from memory.
Our moonlight walks, our frequent signs
Your hand in mine the while
Beneath the patient, starry skies,
That lovingly did smile.
Our tete-a-tetes beneath the tree
That grand old oak, you know
When hearts were warm and love was free
These many years ago.
And don't you recollect, my dear,
What happen'd there one night?
Perhaps the thought will bring a tear
"Whatcycr is, Is right"
And You are right-the years have flown
When love made up my lire,
And both of us have older grown
In this, Gods, w0rld Of strife.
If Time could pass and youth remain
Forever fresh and bright,
Perhaps, dear one, we'd love again,
Again renew eur plight.
But heart and love have both grown cold
And coldness-oh! tits death !
And blasted hopes, alas! are told
In ev'ry humans breath.

The Masons and Odd Fellows are hav-
ing the NJ. 4. Church repaired in various
respects.
Our corporate authorities are having
work done upon our streets, and in Sc
curing the labor OF Mr.. G. NJ. Hunter have
done well, forhe is faithful and energetic.
The basement Of the NJ. f. Church is in
n neglected condition. a little expense
would make it splendid room for human
iy instead of hogs and stock in general.
jefferson street is a business one in Win
chester. All the fruit wagons stop in
front of our office, and every purchaser OF
melon devOurs the same in the vestibule
that leads TO our office. The rinds and
trash make delicious food for the hogs,
and tho hogs congregate splendidly and
numerously to indulge themselves, even if
ladies have to walk in the middle of the
street. We've been wondering whether
or not the hogs are to blame, n feel like
inqqiring of the Town Constable in order
TO satisfy ourself.
Winchester is not at a perfect stand

erected a sranary back of their fine store,
and it adds to the appearance of tic
we were about to say what street, but the
Mayor and Aldermen have forgotten to
have any signs put up in order to desig-

will no longer neglect. And then, talk
ing of improvements, Col. II. L. Carr has
saade improvements upon a prominent
street. His law Office is really the incest
in town, and good taste was displayed in
locating it.

In our paper this week is Il communica-
tion under the heading: Race Antago-
nism.' We agree with the author in
pralsinS the course of the colored people
in the late election, put when he saws
we are glad to see that the colored men
OF Franklin county are at last convinced
that it is to their interest to cast their
votes for the man best qualified for the po-
%sition," we beg to disagree. In the late
election inthis county the negroes had no
leader-no master spirit to guide them
They voted, and ten to one if half of them
kne hop or for tohom they voted, with a
few exceptions. If Davenport had been
here under Brownlow rule, with his fife
and drum, the negroes would have gone
almost en- masse for some Radical. The
truth is, the negroes are naturally clan
nish, and will never be satisfied until the
"bettom rail is on top" They believe they
owe their freedom to The Radicals, and you
might as well try to turn backward the
waters of the Mississippi as to make them
believe their interests are identical with
the interests of their late masters. They
will form a black-man's party wherever
they can, and as they would do to-day in
Franklin county il the whites were not so
largely in the majority. In proof of what
We say we would call attention to the ac-
ton Of the negroes in South Carolina, AL
ALBANIA, Mississippi, and Louisiana, and to
the utterances of the leading negroes in
Tennessee, as can be seen published in the
Home Journal this week.
Now, we did have two Radical candi-
dates for Tax Collector at the election last
week in this county. One was a white
man, the other a negro-Giles Jeans.
Gile5 could neither read nor write, but he
ran for the Office, and, in his ignorance was
no more ambitious than the majority OF
his race. But his black friends knew he
had no chance, and acted accordingly.
Davenport, with fife and drum, was not
here to manage them.

1--WE have onions at our place raised
from seed this year, and they are as large
as tea-cups." SO says Slater of the Home
journal. How a man who spouts as much
poetry as Slater does could come down to
raising onions, we leave for Bob White to
say.-DyerSbury Gazette.
Slater usually spoutS sentimental and
%lachrymose poetry, you remember, and he
cultivates his onion bed as "the sacred
source Ofsympathetic tears."-Bob. White.
Yes, and we append flew rhymes drawn
out of our heart by the cultivation of on
ions. We leave it to Bob. White to say il
such onions as these do not deserve to be
cultivated for the effect they produce as
well as for the size they attain.
