MY SOLDIER LOVER,
Oh ! J have a gallant soldier,
In the army under Eoe—
And I think ire's all perfection.
And he thinks the same of j^re.
It is long since I saw him,
And it will be longer still,
For tlujy say he re-enlisted,
'Till the. Yanks should get their sis.
Though lie’s nothing but a private,
Yet 1 deally cm hint float —
For I care not for the trappings,
Or the Unsel on a coat.
For lace may deck the coward.
And stars may deck the knave,
But I know that he is honest.
And I know that he is brave.
For he fought, with nqble Jackson,
« All the battles in the vaie,
And he saw the Yankees flying,
Before our leaden hail.
And though he’s ne’er been wounded,
(All praise to him pn high,)
lie says he’s always ready,
For his Sunny South to die.
And I pray for him at morning.
Oh ! I pray for him at night-
And ask our heavenly father,
To guard him in the fight.
And I know my prayers are answer'd.
By the calm within ray breast,
And by my peaceful slpmbers.
When my pillow I have pressed.
Oh ! I long to see him coming,
I long to hear his voice ;
I would don my brightest
And fix myself so-nice.
For I think that very shortly,
If his mind is still the same—
He will ask me—(how delightful,)
If I will not change my name.
The Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel,
of March 25th. gives the world to un
derstand that it regards new spapers as
purchasable.
Richmond Sentbucl.
Yes, we do. Some newspapers—
not all. When we see journals sup
port an administration—whether right
or wrpng —whose editors hold Ist ad
ministration offices, or whose columns
are filled to overflowing with adminis
tration advertising, it is very conelu- .
sive evidence that such journals are
subsidized. This is our opinion in
the matter. And we are happy to
say this is the opinion of qll indepen
dent thinking men in this as well as
in every other community.
Furthermore. We are glad to per
ceive that Die public are regarding the
opinions of these journals as paid for.
As opinions not to be trusted. As
the opinions of the subsidizer—not of
the subsidized. The subsidized in
this case being merely used as supple
willing tools —ready to do any work
no matter how much of the subservient
order it may savor.
Byron, all will admit, was decidedly
a free thinker. He would sell his tal
ents to no one—although it must be
confessed he did not always use them
as he ought himself. He held in the
utmost abhorence those who sold the
gifts bestowed on them by the Almigh
ty, to Kings and men in pqwer. We
think he had in view a subsidized ad
ministration editor in a country where
the people claimed to be free when he
penned the following:
“Sound him with gold :
’Twill sink into bis venal soul like lead
Into the deep—and bring up slime, and mud,
And ooze too, from the bottom, as the lead doth
With its greased understratum.”
Never fear a map who threatens you
with an injury ; the silent openly is the
most dangerous.

W<‘ want your old Bags
Miscegenation—WluA it Means—Re
markable Confession of a Republican
Journal.
The reader must bear in mind, when
reading the article below, that it is the
language not of a “Copperhead ” jour
nal, but of a thorough, out and out fle
publican journal-ran open, voluntary
confession of a paper that has
faltered in its support an 4 devotion to
’ pr-iscipb&of that party, and shat
has done rft advocacy of the
Lincoln administration and the en*
eouragement of this war as any other
paper in the whole North. Now that
it sees ruin and degradation and a lev
pi with the negro staring in its face, it
is forced to confess (and a very hu
miliating confession it is for a Repub
lican paper) that the only quarter to
which the country can now look to
be saved is the Democratic party.
But let no one fail to read this article
—let it be circulated in evgry South
ern paper far and wide-—let it be read,
if necessary, to our aimy. If there is
a man in the whole South that can
read this'confession below without fir
ing his heart and causing a feeling of
shame that we should ever have liv
ed with such a people, then he ipust
be dead indeed to every sense of hqnor,
pride and virtue :
From the New York Times.
What are we comitig to?
A rage for marrying black people
has lately taken possession of the Re
publican party. The Radicals have
carried everything before them, arid if
. things’go on at their present rate it is
feared that, in three months, every
white man who is not connected by
marriage with a colored family will bo
“ read out ”of the party. The gusto
with which the abolitionists go into,
the insane moverqent is something at
once disgusting and alarming. VYe
shrink from putting on paper the sto
ries which read) us as to the preval
ence of this evil. VYe will only say
that there will very soon be hardly a
family in the city belonging to the
Republican persuasion which will not
be glorying in the possession of a lie*,
gro son-in-law. It is said, we know
not with what truth, that the Union
League Club has fitted up a night bell
at its door, and keeps a black mins
jster on the premises who marries all
couples of different colors at any hour
of the day or night. Soon we may
expect to hear of duels being fought
about some black washerwoman, and
crowds of white men thronging the
basements ol those lumiiies who have
colored servants in their houses for
the purpose of soliciting the honor (?)
of their iiands. *
It is with great reluctance that wo
speak out our minds in this matter.
But we have no hesitation in saying
that if we had at the outset conceived
it possible that hostility to slavery
would have ever led to wholesale in*,
terrnarriage with negroes the Kepub>
lican party should neyer have receive
ed any countenance or support from
this journal. We owe it to ourselves
and to posterity to say that the thing
has taken us by surprise. It never
entered our head. We now see and
confess our error and deplore it.
The question which now naturally
suggests to every right minded white
and woman is where is this thing
to end? Whither are \ye tending?
What is to be done to stop this unnatu
ral and detestable movement ? For it
is as plain as a pjke staff that if it con
tinues there will be soon no whites left
in this once great and prosperous coun
try. We shall all he mulattoes, and
be afflicted with all the peculiarities
both mental and physical of that um
happy race.
The signs of this great and terrible
change already begin to make them- j
selves manifest in our streets, for the
most careless, observer who walks
down Broadway canliardlv fail to ob- 1
serve (he appearance On a vast imin>
her of laces o| the well known brown
ish tinge. Let that tinge once become
general, and then farewell, a long fare
well, to ail cur whiteness.
1 here is but one quarter—and we
aie not ashamed to own it—in which,
in qur opinion, we can look for either
help or comfort at this cyisis, and that
is to the great, old, truly national Dem
ocratic party. It has its fatbits; no
been forced to call attention
to them oftefrer flmff we; bqt ft
never yet proved false tq its race, apd
we arp that whatever can be
done now vyill be done by it to preserve
the purity of our blood. ' . *
pepsous are under misapprehen
sions or in uncertainty as to several points
connected with the ourrcncy, taxes, claims
upon the government, &c., and the follow
ing answers to question? which have been
addressed to us may prove generally accept
able.
•Ajl hixea due to the Government, whether
they are the taxes of 1803, but not yet paid,
or the taxes assessed under the law of 1804,
may be paid in four per cent, bonds, o/j in
the certificates on which the, four per cent,
bonds are to issue. Where a certificate ia
greater in amount than the tax proposed
to be paid with it, the collector will issuo
a new certificate for the excess—the tax
payer making up ail fractional parts of a
hundred dollars in money.
Five dollar notes will be received in pay
ment of taxes of all kinds, qr may he lan
ded at par on four per cent bonds, until
the first of July uext; at which time they
also will he taxed one-?hird.
frothing can be done with notes for a
hundred dollars but to fund them in four per
cent bonds at two-thirds of their face, and
subject also to a tax of ten dollars per
mouth on each, front the Ist of April.
Notes under five dollars arc subject to
no tax or limitation, but remain current as
heretofore at their full amount.
Notes of ten dollars, twenty dollars and
fifty dollars, may he paid in taxes or fun
ded in four per cents., or exchanged for
pew notes —at two thirds of their value—
until the Ist of January next, at which
tjme all then outstanding wj|i be worthless.
The idea has gained considerable circula
tion that claiujs against the Treasury, ex
isting prior to the first of April, would be
paid in the reduced currency, unless pre
sented and competed before the Ist of April.
This is an error. It is only true of sueli
claims as had been adjusted and a warrant
or draft issued for the payment. The set
tlement had tljen become a part of the pub
lic records, and the holder of such draft
was of the nature of a depositor in the
Treasury, and if he failed to draw his mos
ey, it became liable to the tax on the first
of April. Hut claims unsettled, or for
which payment had not been tendered, will
follow usual rule of being paid in cur
rency at par at tbe time of payment.

that salt, once the. dearest article of
our domestic consumption, is now the
cheapest. It is manufactured, says
the Richqnond Sentinel, away off in
the mountains, and furnished to con
sumers hepe at ten cents per pound ;
while for corn-meal one dollar per
pound is exacted, and a dollar and a
half per pound for flour. Our Legis
lature thought it wise to interfere in
the one case, and behold the happy re
sult. They thought it unwise in the
other case, and the peopje mourn in
consequence.
