To poets: In order to write poetry
suitable for publication, it is necessary,
first, either to understand the art of versi-
fication or to possess singularly correct
ear; second, the poet must have some
thing to write about, something more
than general desire TO die or be star;
and third, when he feels the fit coming
on he should go and blacken q stove.

"NOT PR0DIGAL SONS"

Because the Southern people do not
rave and rant over their great disap-
pointment in the recent election, the
Northern Republicans generally APP
pear to entertain the idea that we are
in the mood repentaut- That admit
ting the truth of all the malevolent
SANDER with which they have black
ened our character and temper as
christian people, we are now in Il fit
state to confess and do penance. They
are not ready to kill the Stated calf"
but are willing to feed the prodigal on
the husks. They are proceeding from
a false premise. We have been bitter
ly disappointed in our expectations ;
and have egregiously deceived our
selves about the strength of Northern
Democracy. But we are not playing
the prodigal son around the pig pens of
| Northern self-righteousness. We are
not asking moral guides, or bothering
about the political future. AS hereto
| fore we will attend to our daily avoca-
lions, our material concerns; and when
we are called upon to discharge our
political duties will be governed by our
sense of right and benefit. We have
not been, as is so frequently assumed,
blind followers of Democratic policy
and party. If there had been no such
party, the South would have been
solid against the Republican party and
will SO remain. Weyet have the "tastt

weather and Crops.

1t is long lane that has no turn,
and we are thankful that we are able
to record change in the long spell of
distressing weather, that has so
materially retarded the gathering of
cotton, injured the business of the city
and rendered the roads all but impass-
able. With continuance of the pres
ent pleasant weather for short time
the remaining cotton in the fields may
be saved, the roads will improve and
we may look for revival of business.
Already our sidewalks and streets,
which were in lamentable condition
during the seige, afford fair walking
for pedestrians, and we suppose the
roads are somewhat better. The far
mers are to be congratulated upon this
change for the better, although coming
at late date, and it is to be hoped
that they will make the best of the
opportunity.

The Hanna and Laura Lee had n lit
tie race from Trenton down last Fri
day, which was both interesting and
exciting. The Lee got the advantage
by several hundred yards in the start,
and though she came in ahead, it
must be acknowledged that the Hanna
was steadily gaining, and had the race
been extended she would no doubt have
caught up with, if not passed the Lee.
AS it was, the race might be called ga
