Editor Georgian —I notice in your

to a certain clover patch in our town.
Now I wish to inform the public that

We are placed under obligations to
Col Madison Buice for a sample of

• myuse and marniticent orchard at
this place.
, If you are in need of any lemons,

Parson has the linest lot ot this kind
of fruit that lias been in this market,

l We are placed under particular ob
ligations to .Mrs. I. T. Sumpter and
Mrs. J.M. Fowler. The former for
a nice lot of bunch beans, and the lal
’ ter for a nice fresh dish of gilt-edge
• butter. These are favors that we
can hardly forget. May the long
eared rat never crawl out of their

ARE WE HIGHT i
Contributors are very apt to look
upon editors and publishers as their
. most implicable foe. The cool per
il sistence with which they decline to
i avail themselves of coniributioiis
. which the contributor is com meed
woulu make fortunes of the journals,
if they knew it—such blindness lo
■ self interest—rouses pity iu the
• breast of the worldly-wise correspou-
I dent.
I He indites a let'er of remonstrance
ito the misguided editor, and ;s
I promptly crushed.
. I Iu some a less tender emotion than
pity is aroused by such conduct.
: Bago very often agitates the bosom
i of the rejected correspondent.
Smarting under a sense of gross
ill-usage, he pours out the vials of
his wrath upon that incarnation of
, fraud, injustice and wickedness,—the
editor. Wby should his correpon
dcnce be rejected, when so much
trash is inserted ? Wbv is no reason
for rejection vouchsafed him ? He
bysterivall v demands satisfaction.
The amount ot this sort of correspon
dence that goes on is surprising nnd
distressing. H is distressing beeaso
it shows such a lamentable wantof
tin t on the part of the contributor.
e<lii< r can reasonably be ix
peeted to r<- ■■ n<id r his tl.'-isimr If
he we to do so. every rejected article
would be in half a dozen times, each
time with a slight alteration here,
and an addition there; and it would be
necessary to have six editors instaad
,ot one to i :.:iri - ;:e the contributions
m their successive stages ofdevelope
ment. How such an economical svs-
■ tem would work, we leave the inteli-
ut reader to in: i ine. Naturallv
tills badgering of editors never b’ads
to h -s." If.an editor dei lines
.a proffir.-d confribuli.m because it is
m suitable for his paper, (we are pub
lishing a secular paper), it is not like
ly tb.at he will lie bullied into taking
it ’, aril any att< nipt to so w ill be re
sented and remembered. The bad
fastens well as the bad policy of eor
resp<mdc!iis who adopt su di a course
jofmtion cannot be too strongly cen
, sure<l. It they rca.lly believe that
ttieir ariiele, poem or whatever it
l may be. is worth publishing, let
l them si id it the rounds of the secular
and it it I.tils to find a haven of
: rest from its wanderings somewhere,
i its proper place is in the tire.
i It ought to be borne in mind that,
although, the reading publi • devours
lan in.inri'si' amount of i uhliish, and
pays for it, too, it will not swallow
the silly garbage produced by all
wd.o choose to scribble on paper,
lie re is ;i vast difference between
w'ell waitten nonsense and the clum
sily hashed cnclyeopnidia or over
strained .sculiments of deluded cor
respondents. Are we right?
