THE undersigned is pleased to announce to his
friends and the public tha t he has again come in
possession -of this time-honored journal, and expects
to devote his entire time to making it, as a newspa
per, second to none in the South. The liberal pa
tronage of past and better years, whil-i the Republi
can was under his charge, encourages him to hope
that by prompt and continued support the public
will enable him to carry this purpose into effect.
To the Merchants of the South and especially of
his on State, he looks with confidence for a generous
support, promising them, in return, the best news,
commercial and political journal that his cxperience
and capabilities can produce.

the week condensed into a small compass, and by
the close of the year we expect to issue it on a large

ing matter than Any other paper in the South.

LINES TO
BY J. M. COOK.
I would that Fate had ne’er decreed
That I should meet thee ever,
Forjiince that eve the spell that binds
I ffear I ne'er shall sever;
Why did you smile so kindly then? —
Why look so ooldly now?
There was a promise in that smile,
But 'tis a broken vow.
’Tis true that from, those lips of thine
No love-tales ever fell,
Yet there was something in that smile
That plainly seemed to tell
That in the heart’s most sacred shrine
I there might fondly cherish
A cheering hope I little dreampt
Was doomed so soon to perish.
Though hope be blighted, still in vain
Each effort to forget;
Oft will the visions of the past
Recall the eve we met,
When thou dids’t make a captive
Os a heart so free from guile
That it built its fondest hope
Upon a winning smile.
I know another clainJs thy love—
I know thou art not tree—
I would not steal from him the bliss
in loving thee;
Yet I could see thee smile again
As on that happy eve,
I would not aßk a greater soy
Than that one smile would give, _
