Mosxlv Hall, Fla., Nov. 4th, ’C7 Messrs. Editors : It would afford mo great satisfaotion, worn I able to write something that would bo interesting, uni instructive to your renders, and that, in consequent!), would in some degroo en hance the valuo of yoor alrottdy valued paper. But it is truly difficult to stun up vital foroo sufficient to write for the public eye, after the daily dutios and trials of a laborious, unprofitable, and often, tbr.pbless occupation. Only they wh* have experienced 't, turn ktvwW how pqinful brain labor hepoities, when it is fitllowed amid the oftteS nnd 'anxietiei of precarious existence J when the wri ter tries in vain to ooneentrato his thovghts, which he can uot prevent trom playing truant to his purpose, and stray, ing off to the exigencies of his lot. He cannot (orget himself anti his condition, struggle as ha may, to portray interest other than those which procure subsis tence. How difficult, therefore, it is (or a ntan to b'cotne an eminent writer, when penury is his lotconsequently, if your corespondent is unablo to draw attention to vour columns, you must t k ■ t! 6 will for the dead. First and foremost, let mo heartily congratulate the nenpth of Middle Geor gia, on the glorious news from the North. Did I not tell you iu my last that the nefarious rump wus commenc ing its death-struggle. I can seo them foamii g at mouth like mad dogs—pore jured traitors 1 The rosy-fingered Au rora appears in tho east, proclaiming the advent of tho Sun of Constitutional Libetty. The young giant of Democ racy is rising in his might, and making bare his arm—he ia doal ng his well aimed blows from tho Atlantia to the Pacific ; at and pacific will be theend of his mission, when Radicalism is dead.— May that day soon come when peace and harmony and b rot herhood, shall exist everywhere. But the slime of the traitors may still be seen throughout the laud. In a let ter of the 30th, ult., received from a friend in Savat nah, there is this lan guage : “The city is lull of negroes— come to exercise their glorious" privi lege of votin£ftor whom and what they have not the remotest idea. One Baid, when asked for whom he was going to vute, ‘Bnulla*.’ For what office ? ‘PiciUeut,’ fie replied. New Bradley is a mulatto lawyer from Boston, who bitd come here as an apostle—sells his tickets, promising, When elected Presi dent, to give every nigger *a mule and forty acres of land.’ He will be elect ed to the Convention ; there is no op-> position, the whites staying away from the polls. What a glorious prospect for old Georgia 1 But all for the best. I want the Convention to he what it will be, a disgrace to humanity. Then will the day of deliverance come—when the rest of tho country is disgusted with Radicalism.” So motß it be. The whites here take uo interest in the coming election, nnd but few of the blacks ; but I suppose tho latter will vote. The intention is to make Florida a Radical State. The patriotio wh t:s will not go to tho polls. More anon. Most respectfully, 11. E. M. A Disappointed Wife. A few months since, a gentlemen had the mis fortune to lose his wife, a litorary lady of some reputation. After grieving for a number of weeks, a bright idea enter, cd the head of the widower. He tho’t that be could do something to lesson his sorrow, and for that purpose he called on a lady acquaintance, and requested to speak a word to heP in private.— Thinking that she was about to receive a proposal from him, the lady prepared to listen with becoming resignation. “Mary,” said he, with downcast eyes, as ho took her hand, “you knew my wife ?” "Certainly.” “It is not good for a man to he alone.” “Perhaps not.” “Did you ever reflect upon that por tion of tho marriage service which re quires couples to cleave unto each other until death do part them ?” “I have.” “1 have often reflected upon it myself. Now death has parted me from my wife, nnd I feel very lonely.” “I should think it likely.” “I think I must do something to re store me to her kind consolations, and the memory of her virtues.” lie pressed the lady’s hand am) sighs ed. She returned tho pressure, and al so suffered a sigh to escape her. “My dear,” snid he, Bfter a long • pause. I’ll oo;ae to the point at once.— 1 have a proposal to muke.” “A proposal ?” ‘Yes, I have resolved to write my who's biography. Now, I have but lit tle skill In literary matters, and if you will correct my manusoript, and write headings for the chapters, I will givo you fifiy dollars.” She sprang from his sido and her eyes flashed with angor. “You wretch—monster She left the room, not being able to express her.rage. The widower sighed, •took his hat and went home. He has not yet published his book. The Boston Post says Colfax is thcjiladiosl dancing master. Walking on livd coals, says the Cincinnati Enqui rer, as the Radicals Xre now doing, is enough to snake dancing m. tsra of aU of thorn.
