How can they respect themselves, when they know that their mothers are ranked with the beasts that perish — sold, exchanged, bought, forced to beget children, as cows and sheep are bartered and reared for breeding purposes? As for the religious negroes--the pious slaves --I have no patience with the blasphemous and infernal ingenuity which breeds and preserves these unfortunate creatures. Dr. Johnson praised the youth, who, having seduced a young girl in a fit of animal excitement, on being asked by her, after the fact, Have we not done wrong? promptly replied, Yes.

n a year's imprisonment, he, with others, escaped in the winter of 1864, and successfully crossed the Ohio river, seven miles below Madison, Ind. His privations and suffering were great, in midwinter, poorly clad and half starved, as he made his way with frozen feet, over the Kentucky hills, avoiding his pursuers. Finally he reached friends, who gave him food, clothing and shelter, and he remained there some time, regaining his health. Then he joined the Second Kentucky cavalry, under Col. Tom Johnson, and finished his career as a soldier at Mount Sterling. He was wounded in each of the battles of Manassas. Since 1873 Mr. Willis has resided at Greenville, engaged in business as a merchant and cotton buyer. He is a member of R. C. Pulliam camp.

iterary Messenger for December contains many useful, interesting and suggestive articles in prose and verse. It has given us pleasure to bear tribute to the able and spirited manner in which Dr. Bagby conducts this periodical. Aside from the editors contributions, there are thirteen articles, historical, scientific, humorous and pathetic. "Lady Mary Wortley Montague," "Popular Lectures on the Various Forces of Matter," "Thackeray versus Dickens," are the leading prose compositions; and "Tom Johnson's Country Courting; " "The Northman's Cause;" "Death and Burial of De Soto;" "De Profundis;" "Music on the Gulf Shore," and "Lines to Mary," make up a sufficiently varied poetical entertainment. The leading editorial article is a discussion of Disunion, in which the editor advocates immediate secession, and strongly commends the position of South Carolina. The following opening sentence is the key-note of the whole article: "The days of the greatest and happiest Republic the wo
