One of our curvsa1 magazines contains
sketch of Paul H. Hayne, the only
writer now of the South to whom the
name of poetis permitted. Excepting sew
cral of his war lyrics, one or two OF which
were once publicly lauded by DR.. Holmes,
he has produced nothing worthy of note
1t does seem not a little singular that
with all their wealth and ease and leisure
in the good old flush times, and with all
their advantages of genial climate and
the abundance of Natures beauties about
them there should have been such a
rarity of poetic culture in the South.
Beyond the comparative insignificance
of Simms and Hayne the people OF that
section have nothing they can call thell
own and rightly known as poetry. Fol

pecially to that splendid trio, ono OF
whom has Just now gone from us full OF

low and Whittier almost exclusively is
due The acknowledgment which Amerl-
can pootical genius has received from
abroad. We do not, however, fail to
remember the gifted author OF The
Raven" who likewise belongs to this
early epoch of our literary annals. The
two oi these that yet remain with us,
verging upon four-score, must, III the ma
turc of things, soon join their great COM
oeer in the realm Of shades. And when
they are gone VINO vii be left that the
present generation has produced and are

ill4 votes and in 1865 with a II aiority
OF 6,50G votes. This big majority is proof
itself that he filled his position well during
his first term. He ran on the Republican
ticket in 1863 and 1868. When he was
candidate on the Democratic side in 1871

were still III the majority. In 1873, for the
first time in twelve wears, the Democrats
succeeded in electing Democratic Mayor,
