V: atermel a s in that market.
Tiie ISaraiiuah p ipers say, that a wagon
load of watermelons arrived in that city on
the 12th iust.
The Macon Messenger of the 19th iust.,
says, A\ ater-meluns of very fair size made
the r appi a.-ance in our market yesterday, at
hard times and war prices. Price— onh/ from
one dollar to forty cents. The scale must
take a slide, or they, as well as many other
things, will lie oxer ’till next day, and prob
ably thereafter. Alost exorbitant pi ices are
charged fur the most common articles of pro
visions, which should be regulated to suit the
stringency of the times.
Corn is dull at tweniy-eight cents per bush
el at Cincinnati. Bacon at five and a half io
six cents per pound.
Ihe Hay crop of the Confederate States
may not be lost sight of. Let. the tall grass id'
our fields be gathered and packed into bales
n' Xt f ill. Our government yvill buy it, ami
may not be able to get it clseyvhere. Hay is
almost indispensable to an army, and should
be neatly baled.
si Lincolnil' in Tennessee.— The Cookeville
Times of the 18th inst , says, “report savs,
that Dr. Hale is making up a Lincoln compa
ny in Fentress. Said Hale is a Northern man,
therefore we did not expect anything else of
him. Bat surely the Fentress boys do not
intend to follow him.”
That felioyv, Hale, ought to be made
foleave the South or stretch hemp. Treason
cannot be tolerated a moment in the South
ern Confederacy noyv.
Hcinginc/ them to their Milk.— The N. O.
Delta says, J. 31. Martin a school teacher by
profcs-ior. and a native of Pennsylvania; Mr.
Zeitzman, a German who taught music, and a
3lr. Sabin, a Yankee trafficker, have been
compelled to leave Hinds county-, Miss., as
they refused to take the oath of allegiance.—
They- were all allowed to settle their affairs
and depart in peace.
The London C.itie, in a n fee cf Harriet
Beecher Stowe’s ‘‘Pcail (if Orr's Island,” is
ungallant enough to say “Mrs. Stcwe’s forte
we conceive to be niggers—pious and impos
sible niggers.”
Hie X. 0. Delta says, Louisiana has al
ready* 12,000 men in the field under the au
thority of the Confederate States, armed and
equipped by herself. Good for the Sugar
State.
The Yankee Druggists refuse to send any
more Quinine to the South. Since the battle
of Bethel, 3 a., they find it will all be needed
in the Federal army, to stop the ague which is
shaking the courage of their soldiery.
Magruder's M n.— Tt is said that Col. 3Ta
gruder had with him at the Bethel Church,
his old force of regulars vrho were under
him in the United States army, tliey having
dcserte/d in order t ijoin their old commander.
The Hotel business in the Northern cities
is in a bad way. None of the principal hotels
are paying expenses.
That was a feaful joke of L> r 1 Nor
bury‘s in sentencing to death a thief who had
stolen a watch : “ A'ou made a grasp at time,
my lad, but you clutched eternity 1”
it l.as leaked out that the “A'irginiu
Major,” whom the Hessians beast of having
captured at Little Bethel, is a veritable Con
necticut Yankee Tin Pedlar, Major 1 Titus C.
ilicc, of the late 3'irginia militia, and yvlio
was at barge upon a parole o f honor by Pic
ayune Butler.
3Ve shall have all the ‘ Yankee notions”
mr.de at the South presently. A Churn fac
tory has been established at Charleston, S. C.
Wiiy cant we have more people engaged in
the dairy business along the lines of our rail
roads? Good Butter is worth now here from
25 to 30 cents, and in X. Orleans from 50 to
75e., a price that is equal to coining to the
producer.
Descend.'.its oj Gen. f/re-ne.—The Com
mander-in-Chief of the Southern army in the
Revolution, lias now three great grandsons in
the service of the South, two in 3 irginia and
(■■tie in Gee-rgia, to tvliich latter State they- all
belong. Gen. Greene was one of the ablest
Generals and true patriots of the times that
tried men’s souls, and we are rejoiced to see
that his gallant and generous blood still flows
through worthy channels.
Hugs! Hag*! Hag.'! Save your rags,
peo] le of the South, your cotton and linen
rags. They are much in demand for the man
ufacture oi' paper, and are as valuable as any
of the products of the soil or manufactory.—
A market can always be found at the paper
mill here for them. They are money to you,
therefore save them. They are better than
rri'iney to the public—-therefore be sure and
save them all.

! ol’ the 11th ult, say? : From a correspondent
well posted in New Alexiccn affairs at Santa
I'e, we learn that, tho universal opinion and
decision among the leading and influential
citizens of New Mexico, is to abide the. choice
(d Missouri in the present national difficulty
between North and South. They will take
p sition with her and act when she leads,—
The closest commercial relations exist be
tween New ATexico and Missouri, an I this
probably induced the above line of action.
An exchange thinks that as there will be
five outs to one in after old Abo Lincoln’s ap
pointments are all made, the outs will be apt
to give the ins a good deal of trouble. Dur
ing the whole of Lincoln’s administration, the
masses of the people will present the same
as-nect as the political field, with five out to
one in—
Out of money,
And out of clothes,
nt. the heels,
Out at the toes,
Out of credit
And only in debt.
Hare Liberality.— Lucius L. Lanier, Esq.,
a wealthy gentleman of Baltimore, has raised
j and uniformed a company of a hundred and
! titty gallant Alarylnnders at his own expense,
brought them to 3’irginin, and is now provid
ing for them till they can bo received into
! service, all at his own cost. .Such a spirit is
. worthy of the best days of old Maryland, and
proves that, the tires <>l her ancient cliivalry
j are not yet extinct in her veins.

The niockittii'—A ?Jof exvort’iy l-"n.ct.
Reflecting readers can have hardly failed
to notice a significant fact connected with
the Liverpool cotton market. The Jura two
days ago brought a decline of a quarter, a'd
the Africa to-day reports the Liverpool
market dull at this decline. These facts oe-
I cur in the face of a supply believed to amount
to little more than half a million bales <4
strictly merchantable cotton and in the teeth
of the Blockade and Lincoln’s threats, that
not a bale of the growing crop shall leave our
ports. How is such a state of facts to lie ac
counted for except upon the supposition tliat
the European cotton buyers are well assure'!
that our ports will be opened for trade, and
the transhipment of cotton in ample time to
meet their necessities ? 'That such assurance
is felt we have further reason to believe, from
information that agents of British and French
houses arc now in Savani, ih- Cliurieston,
soliciting orders for goo is. They meet the
reminder that the ports are closed with the
j confident assertion that the g >< de, ifordere 1,
I will be f .rdieo ii’mg. Lincoln's blockade will
prove but a cob-web to certain European
! blue bottles by next October.
[’/aeon Telegraph.
“I Wish I w»s !n Itlxlv.”
So common has become the error that this
is a Southern song, and relates to Southern
institutions, that I must be pardoned if 1
break the eriehan ment and rela'e the facts
about it. I see, also, that Mr. All ert Pike,
of Arkansas, has written a song recently, in
i which he suggests that we
*“ Advance the flag of Dixie ;
Hurrah! Hurrah!
For Dixie’s land we'll take our stand,
And live or die for Dixie!” Ac.
Now, Ido not wish to sp .il s pretty il'u
; slop, but the real truth is that’Dixie is an in-
I digcn ius Northern Negro refrain, as com-
I mon to the writer hereof as the lamp posts in
• New York city, seventy or seventy-five years
ago. It was one of the every day illusions of
i boys, at that time, in all of tlio'r out door
I sporlx. Aiid no one ever heard of Dixie’s
i laud being other than Manhattan Island uiril
I recently, when it Isas been erroneously sup
posed to refer to the South from its connec
tion with pathetic negro allegory.
When slavery existed iu New York, one
“Dixy’’owned a large tract of land on Man
hattan Island, and large numbers of slaves.
The increase of the slaves and the increase
of the abolition sentiment evused an emigra
tion of the slaves to more thorough and se
cure slave sections,and the negroes who were
thus sent off (many being born there) natu
rally looked back to their old homes, where
they had lived in clover, with feelings of re
gret as they could not imagine any place like
Dixy’s. Hence it became synonymous with
j air ideal locality combining ease, comfort and
I material happiness of every description. In
those days negro singing and minstrelsy
I were in their infancy, and any subject that
could be brought into a ballad was eagerly
picked up: this was the case with Dixie.” —
It originated in New Yotk, and assumed
the prop< rtions of as-ong there. In its travels
it has been enlarged, and has “gathered moss;”
it lias picked up a note here and there; a
“chorus” has been added to it, and from an
indistinct “ chant” of two or three notes, it
has become elaborate melody; but the fact
that it is not a southern song “cannot be rub
bed out,’ the fallacy is so popular to tho con
trary that I have thus been at pains to state
the real origin of it. I’.
[.New Orleans Delta.
[£Gk» The above says a true hearted South
ron, has long been our opinion, and when we
have heard so often of late this Song of Nor
thern stamp, we could not refrain front a mix
ture of vexation and mirth, that so many
were gulled into the belief that it was of
Southern origin. No doubt there are sonte
hailing from that frigil clime who know to
tho contrary, and laugh in their sleeve at our
ignorance. We hope for the future, that a
more National Song, one having its origin in
our glorious never to bo conquered South, will
for tho future take the place of “Dixie.’’] |
It is stated that twelve of the friends of
Jackson, who was killed at Alexandria, have
bound themselves by oath to slay 1,000 Uni
ted States troops to avenge him.
THE NORTHERN PROGRAMME.
The newspapers of the North have—in
their own estimation—nearly completed tho
subjugation of the South. They are now de
vising plans to punish the “rebels” for their
contumacy. The New York Courier and
Enquirer hits upon the following method of
disposing of the troublesome question :
The ringleaders of the rebellion must be
tried for high treason, convicted and punish
ed with death, if not commuted to other pen
alties.
All those who voluntarily have Lome arms
against the United States should be sen! to pe
nal col anies in th" far off West and Northwest,
or be held to labor in building tho Pacific
Railroad, and should be deprived, for a cer
tain time, of the right to vote and to carry
arms. The grants of lands which our volun
teers after tho war can justly claim, shoal 1
be taken up within the limits of tho South
ern Confederacy. The large cities of the
South should be garrisoned by iwgro regiments,
lobe furnished and pail by the Smith, bar self,
and the laws of the United Suites for the pr -
tection of free speech, a free press, and the
right of’ assembling should be enforced every
where. Secessionist prisoners <>f m ir, c:-n
note, should not, as has been done in St. Louis,
be discharged on their parole of honor, which,
of course, they will not keep, but hire I out f>r
a small consideration to Western farmers, so
as to make up for the firm hands engaged in
the war, and to cover part of the running ex
penses <fv,,
Somebody shoal I preserve all these choice
extracts from Northern prints it order that
they be compiled into a book and handed down
to future generations. In six months not
one of these New York editors will be c lu
scious of ever having written a paragraph
of this character.— -Macon Tel.
