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.

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. Tho Mills of Jlessrs. Ouk? & A'y’iswall, Lincolnton, N.

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.

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.
