Rejected Manuscripts.
With Some Specimens in Psosb and Poetry^
Every large newspapef office at each pe-
r io licul sweeping and scrubbing and general
cleariug up, sends off to the waste-paper
buyer, or consigns to the flames, or bestows
upon its devil, among its cart-full of odds
and ends some bushels of rejected mauu-
fccripls. on white paper and grey, red pnper
aud speckled, ladies* note aud legal cap,
brown paper and every kiud of paper. Some,
ot it is iu pencil and some in bright ink, and
some iu writing fluid just gone with the:
consumption.
There in the cart, or into the flames, or,
greater disgrace, ioto the custody of the of
fice’s very devil, go the hopes of some, Che
pride ot others ; perhaps some productions
oi days and nights of unrempiitted toil, and
excruciating braiu-racking.
But it cau’t be helped. It stauda to rea-
, eon that no contributions are ever rejected
when, iu the judgment oi the editor, their
publication would be of advantage, aud it
is not reasonable to suppose articles will be
accept.*d that will not ba beneficial.
A largo class of contributors make great
mistakes. They forget that the proprietors
own the paper, and that, as depending on
the public tor their patronage, tbeyf will de
termine lor themselvet, or through their
editors, what the interests of the public re
quire. Then they often attempt to transfer
the freedom of the advertising department
, to the editorial columns, which will not an
swer. They write articles about something;
not of public interest that would cover a
i page, and take one printer nearly a week to
set up. They use gross personalities, and
give merely a nom de 'with oo legiti
mate signature.- They send beastly poetry,
J aud want pay for it; and villainous mangn
J lings of plagiarized prose, with r request for
I’fifty papeis, and a promise to write more.
1 The love-dittyists are the most fearful of the
| must troublesome class of uu-wanted con
tributors. They force on ns the most sick
ening of pap, and curdled at that, and when
we tell them their poetry won’t do, it must
be that they gently weep. Then at the
other extreme are the blood-or satisfaction
. cLus, whose manuscript is like d hoise-pis-
' tol, charged with fearful accusations aDd
dire imprecations, wadded down with dread
ful in inuations. Old fogies write scathing
broadsides at us. and every enterprising
business man under some caption like this:
‘ Hodern Upstarts and Modern Innovations,”
| iu which it is assumed that nobody under
sixty knows aught, aud that no customs not
sixty years old should be tolerated. Why
don't they go further, while they are abou
<t. and eat with their fingers, and all that
port of thing? These manuscripts are often
| curious for their archaisms, but are usually
! tcry lengthy.
But we started to give some uamp'es of a
large pile of “rejected manuscripts” which
we have just ievised. Premising that we
always return such documents when they
arc wurth it, we will give specimens of some
] unreturned ones : * . t; W . . *

DQt Ue. In .Georgia, for instance, I met a man
who had served in the rebel armies, and,who
had been watchiug for me along the road. , He
had been, engage’d in chopping wood. 1 ac T
coiupanied him t6 his home, distant about t^yo
miles. On the way; jie ipld me that the grave
ft! his brother,* who had 1 fallen in the rebel
cause, was not far from the roadside. I went
with him to the spot; he» stopd, uj >on oue side
qf the grave and I upon ether.’ A plaiij
woOdeii headboard marked the place, and as I
was reading the inscription, he asked why such
a bad* state of feeling should continue to pre
vail—reachinghis. hand .pver the grave^oi hii
brother. I.clasped it; and will any one say
I-did wrong fn taking by the hand ofte against
whom I. had fought, but who now was willing
to stand by the good bid flag ?
“ la .North Carolina. I diet an oldbian who
had served in the rebel fortes. He was quite
old for one whd, hut a short time since’, had
carried a gun and knapsack. The poor old man
during the war had lost two sons' and a son-in-
law* hi* only supports. It was eight miles to
the .Catawba, the. bridge over which had been
destroyed by Steedman. It had been rebuilt;
was very high and bad to cross. This old sol
dier took such interest in me—I had .stopped
over night in the house where he lived—that he
went witb me to the bridge,"find led me over
for fear I might ipll and hurt myself.
‘** Bfitwefen Selma and Montgomery, in Ala
bama, I went to an elegant residence, occupied
by a gentleman named White, on a plantation
cal ed White Hall. Mr. White himself came to
the door. ,My flag was unfurled, but he .did
not know me, nor had he heard of my singular
joumfey.’ He, hdwever, warmly welcomed me,
and I explained how I had come to seek shelter
under his roof. During the war, he told me,
Wilson had passed through that country, and
destroyed' all he had. Dtinug a talk of .two
hours there was hardly a momeutthat his eyes
were not moistened with tears. In the ntiorn-
iug I found my flag decorated by bis daughter,
with wreaths of laurels and flowers. He went
with me on my way about a mile, and finally
said he ’would have to leave me. 1 took him
by, the hand. A gentle breeze was blowing, and
the flag, held in my left hand, was flying. The
old man. tried to bid me good-bye, but he broke
down and for minutes wept like s child.”
At the request of the President, the Sergeant
explained the circumstances under which he
had undertaken the long journey which he jost
concluded. “ Persons,” said he, (i made asser
tions which I believed to .he both ioolish and
uufoanded. I contradicted them, saying -that
I did not care for their individual opinions, but-
as perhaps thousands believed aa they did, I
would make.* proposition that, if earned oat,
would disprove their theory. I thereupon made
ap offer to/do what I have donSi I did not
think*my proposition would be accepted, dor
did the principal person of those’ to whom I.
refer think I would dare to carry out my plan.
He, however, at once Accepted my offer, and
dared nie. to fulfill its terms. He had declared,
for instance, that, if the government would
withdraw the military forces from the South,
and leave the flags flying the Union soldiers
would hardly be out of sight before the colors
would be torn, down and trampled in the dust.
I replied: that I was a poor man, that I was not
in a condition to undertake the journey, but
that if he would give me a dollar a day for my
&mily while I Was gone, I would go to Vicks
burg and would alone, unarmed and without
money, carry-the American flag from that place
to Washington.-' I waS told that toy fifewould
net be Worth a cent; that indeed, I would
never bo permitted to lekve Vicksburg alive.
“ Articles Of agreement wert' drawn up, and
I Whs dared to ; sign them.. I did so and'thn^
bound myself to their 1 performance: 1 Went
home, thought' oOer the matter, saw It' Was a
novel enterprise, and Would attract some atten
tion/ but did not tbfnk it would recOivdlfTO nb-

had no Weff that'the people WotrTtl'.'tiike re

or that I would receive such an ovation. There
was, sb*, during the tatire journey, not a> breath
