k; you objected in vain-- “Whites were made to be sarved so by blacks in the South.” A lively discussion around you arose, On the strength of your legs — on your age; thump on thump. Tried to straighten you upright; one would tweak your nose; One hustled you down, just to see how you'd jump. 'Twas fun to their blackships, but Thomas, I've fears Your temper that moment was none of the best; There was rage in your scowl; in your old eyes were tears; For it seems Mrs. Carlyle had just been sold West; And what might, too, put some hard words in your mouth-- Though it did not affect your black namesake the least-- Master Carlyle was “hired for life,” right down South-- Miss Carlyle had been ditto right away East. So you didn't jump lively, and laugh as you ought, Though, cursed in a whisper, you tried to look gay, But at last for a rice-swamp you, Thomas, were bought, Or “hired for life,” as your sageship would say; Rather “hired for death” --so I dared to suggest; But then, tha

Gallant Exploit of seventy Hoosters.--We have advices from North-Mississippi and West-Tennessee of a late date; but as the greater portion of our information relates to movements, we are obliged to withhold it from the public; but we can assure our readers that every thing relative to the Sherman expedition and the cooperating force is progressing better than the authorities expected. One instance of Hoosier gallantry we are permitted to record.

Adventures of a long-island girl. The Memphis (Tennessee) Times, of August fifth, 1864, tells this story of a woman's adventures; Miss Fanny Wilson is a native of Williamsburgh, Long Island. About four years ago, or one year prior to the war, she came West, visiting a relative who resided at La. Fayette, Indiana. While here her leisure moments were frequently employed in communicating, by affectionate epistles, with one to whom her heart had been given, and her hand had been promised, before leaving her native city — a young man from New-Jersey. After a residence of about one year with her Western relative, and just as the war was beginning to prove a reality, Fanny, in company with a certain Miss Nelly Graves, who had also come from the East, and there left a lover, set out upon her return to her home and family. While on their way thither, the two young ladies concocted a scheme, the romantic nature of which was doubtless its most attractive feature. The call for tr
