NOTICE
TO DELINQUENT TAXPAYERS /!

THE LAW AND INSTRUCTIONS
i from the Auditor of Public Accounts
are alike imperative, and l am required to
proceed at once in the collection of all
taxes due the State. Knowing the condi-
ton of a great many of their inability to
pay, have extended all the time that
could, with hope that the taxes could be
collected without resort to legal process.
Complaint is frequently made by those
who pay their taxes promptly, of tho un-
Just discrimination that has been made,
compelling a portion of the Taxpayers to
bear the burthens Of Government which
should be borne equally by all.
I am forced to do my duty under the
Law, and now give fair warning to all
parties who are Delinquents. that I shall
on the 1st day Of SEPTEMBER proceed
to make collections of the Taxes by seiz-
ure and sale.
I shall commence Alphabetically with
the Roll, continue to seize and sell until
all delinquent taxes are paid. This is the
last Notice. Come forward and pay up.

LITERARY CULTURE IN THE BR1rIsn
ARENA knowledge Of the works Of
Chaucer is recommended as a part Of
the English education Of young men
who desire to become officers in the
British army. This recommendation
was discussed the other night by the
House Of Lords, some peers fearing
that the study Of any poetry tended
to soft6l the mind and made the Off
Ger unfit for his robust military du-
ties. On the other hand, it is said
that Alexander the Great was pas
sionately fond Of poetry
julius Caesar was not merely fond
of enfeebling his mind by reading
poetry, but was actually shimself u
poet. Frederick the Great was given
to reading and writing bad poetry.
Wolfe, as hecrossed the st. Lawrence
to take Quebec, kept reciting Gray's
Elegy; Marlborough studied Shake
speare's historical plays, and Napo.
lean saw great merit in Ossian. Sir
Philip Sidney and Sir Walter Raleigh
we're not bad at poetry and soldier
ing, and Theodore Kocrncr scrubbed

The farewell was spoken, love,
But spoken.not by me;
For still within my bosom was
A heart that beat for thee,
I would that could now recall
Those happy days of yore,
Ere love was wounded by the fall;
They'll come again no more.
Although, pcrchancc, that future time
Our pathway will Hume,
With all the light of love and joy,
Without Shade CT gloom.
No power on earth but death itself
Can change my love for thee;
Oh, life, thou art bereft of all
That made thee dear to me-! >

GENERAL LEE AND GEKERALS HERe
MAN. The Charleston Courier RS
lates that when General Lee visited
this State, not long before his death,
a gentleman who lkneV him well ask
led his opinion Of Sherman's con-
duct. This, it must be remembered,
was several years after the war, when
there were the same means that there
are now of forming atrue Judgment.
What passedis given as follows:
D. H. General Lee, i desire to
ask q question, which you viii please
not reply to if there il auy impro-
Ipriety in it."
General Lee TASK il, sir.
D. H. ''Was.G General Sherman, in
his march through the coudtry, JUS
tilted, under tic usages Of war, in
burning our homes over The heads Of
our women and children while VIC
were in the field?''
General Lee arose from his chair
with his eyes frightened. and said:
NO sir! no sir! It was the act Of a
savage. He was not justified under
the usagcs Of war"
This We have from the lips of.thc
gentleman to whom General Lee said
these words.
