Onward ! our cause is just and right; Let all our banners fly ; We fear no threats of Northern might, Their millions we defy. With heart to heart together we Will meet them, when they come, And strike the blow for victory, For freedom, and for home. Onward ! let Carolina’s brow Still wear the victor’s crown, Let her proud name forever be ’Mong records of renown. And by the mem’ry that endeared Iler heroes of the past, Let her brave honored sons defend Iler standard to the last. Onward ! our new-born Southern flag Must never know disgrace : Where Freedom and bright honor reigns Must only be its place. In the first battle for our right It proudly waved on high, And ’neath its ever cheiished folds We won the victory. Aye ! and the proud old Union flag For once hath fallen low, And now again o’er Sumter’s walls Its folds shall never flow. No, by the God of Liberty, We’ll plant our colors there, And win beneath them, victory, Or in its ruins share. w Cost of the War to the Country. This war is not going to be much of a drain upon the country, for the reason that it will send little money out of it, as would not be the case in a foreign war. A vast amount of money will be spent by the Gov ernment and individuals, to be sure, but the country will not be poorer, for it will not go out of it. It will only be put in circula tion among our own people. The “money market” will not be made “tighter,” but “easier.” if anything, than it was during the season of doubt and uncertitude through which we have passed. Indeed, we think it susceptible of demonstration that the coun try, as a country, will make more money, because it will save more during the wai than if peace had been maintained. This, for the reason that the country is not spend ing anv money, or very little—sending com paratively imne abroad for foreign purchases, and by so saving it, making as much as would have otherwise been spent. So, when our next crop goes into market, all its proceeds will not be required to pay the country out of debt on United States and other foreign account. Os course that crop will go to market. Great Britain will have it, even at the cost of a tussel with the feeble, distracted, and impoverished power of Lincoln. The industrial, and to a degree, the commercial interests of the North are bankrupted, and how ? As the hottest abo lition journals acknowledge, by the with drawal of Southern trade. Therefore, what that country has lost, this country has saved. The returns of the next crop, then, not hy pothecated as usual, will be added to what we have already saved by not spending, and money will be most abundant in the coun try. This crop will scarcely be impaired, for in the midst of war our non-combatant la boring class will till the soil as usual. Were we a part of the United States, and the country was waging war with some pow er, Mexico for example, it would cost the country of the South much more than it will to fight the North and for this reason : The North, with its keen scent for the prof its, would furnish all the supplies, take all the contracts for transportation and every thing else —would bring all the money spent in the war into Noithern pockets. The South would furnish more than her share of the money and the men to do the fight ing. At the close of the war she would find herself minus many brave men and more than due proportion of money. Thus she would be drained of both blood and treas ure, while the North would have actually made a great deal of money and shed very little blood. The Mexican war cost many millions of dollars, and who made the money ? The North made all except what the soldiers spent in Mexico for tortillas and ar/uadenle. The North flourished, throve and fattened on that war. While the men of the South were pouring out their life blood like water on the victorious fields of Mexico, the men of the North were filling army contracts, and gloating over their columns of profits in the safety of their counting looms. Some of the most colossal fortunes of the North were accumulated or founded during the Mexican war. The money which the South, as part of the nation, furnished the Government was - immediately transferred to Northern pockets In this war, however, the money will be kept in the country and spent among - its citizens. It will only change hands, be kept in circulation, and the country will be none the poorer. If citizens contribute a hun dred millions to wage this war, and it is spent in the country, the country will be none the poorer, — Mobile From Gleason’s Literary Companion. AUNT hEZIAH'S ADVERTISING. BY CLARA AUGUSTA. “I’ve just the biggest mind that ever was to tell you something ! Though I dunobut I 1 should do full as well to hold my tongue, I for somehow I’m kinder suspecting that you ' let out to some of your cronies sartin things that I’ve confided to you in the past. If you do, it’s real mean in you, and I neve:’ll for give you—see if I do. If this ere little per formance of mine should git out, it would luin my character in the church, and jest as like as not I should be communicated. “ Ye see, alter yer uncle died, I felt pow erful lonesome like —it’s a solium thing to be a widder —and I used to wet a dozen pocket handkerchiefs a day taking on.— Tliat was the first week of my bereavement. Afterwards I didn’t wet near so many, and in six months I didn’t pretend to kerry a handkerchief at all, unless I had a cold in my head, because I didn’t have no use for it. But isl didn’t shed as many tears as I did in the first of it, it wasn’t because 1 didn’t miss Joshua. No indeed ! No airthly tongue can tell how much I missed him about bringing up ’taters; and gitting the kindling wood ; and going to bed first.— Joshua was the greatest hand to go to bed airly that ever you seed ! When it come night he was jest like a turkey—went to roost at sunset, and did’t git off from it till sunrise. “ Along the last of his days he wasn’t no company for nobody, without you started the-subjick of pollyticks, and then he’d talk himself clean down to nothing. He was one of the master pollytilioners that ever trod. “ After he’d been dead a year I begun to feel terrible desolate, and after a spell I con cluded that it wouldn’t be no hurt to think about gitting married agin. I didn’t mean no onrespect to my dear dead and gone pardner, but it would be so pleasant to have somebody’s arm to hang on to when I was a-goin’ to prayer meeting and conference, instead of being obleeged to go alone— ‘ in maiden cogitation—fancy free.’ “I dressed myself considerable, and curl ed my hair on a hot pipe-stem, and rubbed flour on my face to take the tan off, and nigh about skinned my hands tryii g to git ofl the stains of coloring blue and peeling apples.— But i«> epitu of all toy pains ilia tuuiu folkc kept their distance to an orful rate. They never come nigh me, no more than if 1 wasn’t in the market. All the young, flighty gals had two beaux apiece, but I couldn’t pick up a solitary sweetheart. “ Something must be did, but bow to do it was the question. I thought of doing the courting myself, and coming right to the pint al once, but that didn’t seem to be jest the thing. Then I thought of gitting some of the gals to pick out a feller for me, but 1 kinder was afeared to trust the giggling crit ters. There’s no faith to be put in \oung gals no how, specially if they’re putty, and happen to know it. "I’d heern tell of advertising for a pard ner, but I didn’t exactly like the idee —still it was better than being a widder to the end of creation. The more I thought of it the better it looked to me, butl didn’t make up my mind to do it till after a considerable thinking spell. Yer see I was in hope some of the fellers would take it into their heads to step up to me of their own accord, but nothing of that sort happened. So one day sez I to myself, sez I: “’l’ll jest make one bold push! faint heart never won fair lady. It’s the airly bird that ketches the worm ! And I’m bound for to git married if 1 have tu work night and day for it.’ “So I sot my wits to work, and after an orfol long day’s exertion—marcy, how I did sweat! I produced the following : ‘ NOTICE!! ‘ A lone woman of agreeable, respectable character, onblemished repetatioii*desires to form the quaintanceship of one of the oppo site sect, with a view to matrimony. Said opposite sect must be of good standing in society, must know bow to read, and right, and cifer ; must not chaw terbacker, nor smoke nor drink rum. Such a one can bear of a good chance to bennefit himself by ad dressing Miss Seraphena May, Beauville, Maine.’ “1 darsent put my name to it for fear somebody would see it; and I sorter thought a rheumatic cogr.omin would be likely to take the best, because everybody is running wild after new fangled names. When I was a gal, Sally and Becky, and lluldy and Nan cy, was called good enuff for anybody’s ba by, but now days folks hunt all the dictiona ries and rethmetics through tor something to call their children, and then git the or fulest names arter all. For my part I’d rather stick to the old fashions. “I did this notice up in a yeller envelope, and directed it to the edditur of the Bean ville Candlestick, and iu with it I put a one dollai bill that I’d took for butter the day afore, asking the edditur to put the notice into his paper as often as be could for the money. The next week it come out in flam ing big letters —1 could see to read the hull of it without specks. I read it over with a powerful sight of sattusfaction —anybody feels puttv proud to see some ot their riling in print I tell yer. I’ve alters thought that if I’d cultivated it, I should have l an amazing genus foi being an anther. I writ the cutest piece of poitry once, on the death of a white sitting hen, that ever you read. “Arter awhile I thought of' a difficulty,. what if nobody didn't answer my advertise ment? But then, somebody would be shore to want a wife, and they wouldn’t let sicb opportunity slip. Then I fell to wontiering what I should have for a wedding gound, and whether I should wear a cap or my new wig ; and whether it would be most proper ous to be married in the meeting house or to home. You know young folks is apt to be foolish about sich things. “ Byrne by a new difficult y ariz. If any letters come for Seraphena May bow was I to get ’em ? I couldn’t let no living soul in to the secrit; and the clerk down to the post-office—(which was kept in Deacon’s Jenkins’ store) —was the oifulest, curiousest critter that ever you seed. He was never satisfied without he learned everything that everybody else did. I know it haint right to hate nobody —the Scripture speaks agin it—but if there’s anybody on the broad face of creation that I’ve got a tremenjous strong dishliking of, it’s Jake Scriggins. “It wouldn’t do to ask Ichabod to inquire for Seraphena’s letters, because I seed him a reading that very advertisement in the Candlestick, and a laffing over it as if he was possessed. And then, ye see, I darsent go after’em myself for fear of that pesky Scriggins. For two whole days I was in the oifulest stew that ever one poor mortal wo man got into sense Adam. But after a spell a bright idee struck ine. “ I’d jest dress up in men’s clothes, and go to the post effice on my own hook ! I kinder blushed and lafied when I thought of it, for yer see 1 lerned if some folks in Beauville got hold of it they’ll have enuff to talk about for the rest of their mortal exist ences. Beauville is an orful gossiping place. You can’t wink without the risk of its being , said that you was a winking at some of the fellers. “Wall, then Thursday night come, Telia bod went to singing school, and I went and fastened every door in the house, and got a suit of yer uncle’s clothes, and fixed up in’em. 'T hey suited me tolerable well, only the legs of the trowsis was a leetle too lung, but I turned them up and showed the yeller linings, and they looked master skrumptious I caii tell you. The coat was a good deal too wide in the back, but I stuffed in a couple of aprons and a pillow case to fill out the loose places. I tucked up my hair un der the tall, white hat, and pul on a pair of blue specks. Then taking an umbrilla, in case it should lain, 1 sot forth. “ I felt ondiscribably orkard in them clothes—it seemed so funny not to have to hold up yer petticoats, and look out for yer other living gear. When I arrived at the post office, there was a sight of men there talking, and laffing, aud singing songs. 1 went rile in through ’em and up to the winder where they hand out the letters.— Jake Scriggins was setting inside, on a mail bag, eating raisins and snapping the seeds al a grizz ed old caton the counter. “‘ls there a letter here for Miss Seraplie ua May ?’ sez I. “‘Yes, marm/ sez Jake, with a bowing wag of his head, ‘ 1 bleve there is.’ “The men in the store all begun to be-be, and every single eye was turned onto me.— It was putty everdent that my notice bad been read ail round. I nope Miss Seraphena, will be success ful in gitting a busband/ sez Jake. ‘She must be bard driv to advertise.’ “I didn’t make no answer to this, but took the letter he give me and started for the door. Bill Higgins sot there on a box, jest about half tight, and as I was a-going by him he put out his foot and stopped me. “‘Look a here, old feller/ sez he, ‘less see what’s in that are epistle ! I’m in the mar ket myself, and I read the Candlestick, and I read Seraphena’s advertisement, and had a putty powerful notion of answering of it myself. Less see the handwriting I say.’ “ ‘ Not by two chalks !’ sez I, cramming the letter into my trowsis pocket. ‘“We’ll see/ sez he, jumping up and grabbing me my the shoulder. ‘Hand it over, old feller, or i'll make daylight shine through ye.’ “‘lf daylight don’t shine through you/ sez I, ‘it’ll be because my umbrilla haint a butcher knife/ and with that I give him a poke in the stumack that sent him over the counter, with a basket of eggs that Deacon Jenkins had bought up for town meeting.— Smashed ’em all into a custard in less time than you could say sho. The deacon was raring. I’m very soi ry to say it, but be did swear some of the biggest oaths that ever 1 beerd come out of anybody’s mouth.’ “ I thought I’d better leave, so I started for the door with al! my might and main.— The exertion of running kinder loosened the aprons aud pillow case, and out they come, and bounced onto the floor amid the shouts and hurrays of the ordinance. “‘Hallo!’ yelled Sam Limto, ‘you’ve left your wile’s apron behind.’ “ ‘ Darn’d if I don’t think it’s a female in dismiise,’ sez the deacon, ketching up his hat° and streaking it after me. But the deacon haint so spry as he might be, and be fore he got to the door he hit his foot agin a pile of salt fish, and down be went on to Bill Higgins’ yaller dog that was a laying afore tlie fire. The dog grabbed the dea con by the throat—the deacon yelled mui- NUMBER 42. der, everybody else yelled get out, and the H dog he growled and held on the tighter.—* B And in the ginral confusion 1 managed to fl git off without being diskivered. 1 never fl stopped to breathe till I was save to hum/q|fl and into my own clothes agin. Then, and not till then, 1 read the letter. It was very fl short, and run as follers : fl “ ‘ Dear Seraphena :—I have seen vour fl advertisement and am delighted with it.
