The brave Sons of the South whom Gen


Batter represented as spelling for fight
with England under the starry flag, deny
the insinuation, one and slI. The Charles
ton, Richmond, Mobile and othese Southern
papers say that ''the brave sons of the
South have had their belly full of fighting,
enough to last them for many years to come.
Meantime they are anxious to raise as much
cotton as they can and sell it TO English
manufacturers instead Of fighting them. In
fact, Gen. Buffers manifesto fell fat. His
own party press repudiates his policy with
great unanimity. And yet that part of Gen
Buffers lecture which touched upon the
fisheries met with general endorsement.
Why do the provincial authorities continue
to irritats and fret the people of this country
BY srsesting and annoying our fishermen !?
They may be assured of one thing, that they
nre laying up foE themselves bitter retri-
button. We are sensitive on this subject
The fisheries in North American waters are
and have been the sources of New England
wealth from the start. Our ancestors foug ght
for them, as Gen. Butler says. And the
people Of the United States, the chief power
Of the continent, will not be annoyed in
their movements in North American waters.
The provincial authorities, by mean and
marrow construction of the fishery laws and
BY stretch of maritime Jurisdiction, may
seize our fishing vessels and confscate them,
as they have just done, but there will be
speedy end to this sort of persecution.

excuses for the non-attendaace Of hundreds OF

Baltimore Gazette says:


"At Cape May there is nothing else
but the bath There are no drives, no
walks, no shade, no privacy of any kind
or description. The sun glares down on
the hot sand, and were it not for the bra
cling breeze. you might be as comfortable
in the desert. There are no woods, no
dells, no retreats, and no opportunities
for opportunities. If you are not baby
or an invalid, the days at Cape May are
among the lost hours of your life"


The same correspondent further says /:
-" There is one great fault at Cape May
which, if not corrected, will have anything
but beneficial effect. The bath is GER
tainly public enough, but as each hotel
must have its shore, there is no reason why
it should not be reserved for guests of the
house. 1t is now of daily occurrence that
several negroes, with their wenches, in
trude themselves among the bathers, to
their great annoyance. Bathing certainly
brings us in contact with strange bath
fellows, and very often an easy kind of
freedom is INDUCED in under the exhlara-
ting effect of salt water which would not
be so proper under the depressing in6u-
ence of gas light. But that is among our
selves and our friends. We do not be-
grudge Sambo Or Dinah the free use of
water, but if we have right to eat alone
and dance alone, we certainly have the
same right to dispense with such select
company during the bathing hour. 1t is
a matter that should be attended to, and
that promptly"

that he would soon resign the Coilectorship

case. Casey was sent for by the President
to talk over tie situation, with the under.

know of knothing more touching in the
history Of literature than Wordsworth's
reflection towards the close Of his
career: Il have labored hard through
a long life without more pecuniary
emolument than lawyer gets for two
special retainers, or public performer

Yet this, as Wordsworth knew, was the
price he must pay for immortality.
His ambition was to be either con-
sidered a teacher, as he believed all
great poets to be, or nothing and that
ambition, after struggle, he has
realized. He met the scorn of criticism
with scorn. He had but one answer
for his assailants ''Let the age con-
tinue to love its own darkness shall
continue to write with l trust, the light
vi heaven upon me, Dut tnaC was

itself; and the Immortality he looked
for is his"


We have as yet very little that is
individual and characteristic, but our
people are self reliant, inquiring, with
broad intellectual sympathies, and
keenly sensitively to the influences of
nature. These are grounds Of hope
for American literature. Our native
shrewdness may one day blossom into
wit, and with the coming of less ex-
citing and busy times our generous
humanity may develop something ap-
preaching more nearly to humor than
the grotesque extravaganza which now
excites cur mirth There is not, GER
tainly, very great promise in the per-
formances of the moment, but we can
not doubt that one day we shall have
an indigenous literature properly re-
ilecting the experience, learning, and
the spirit of tolerant and many sided
people.
