But this is nice ! . j Here lam a rich, prosperous loyal with nothing to do but enjoy my self. F. cod! what a blessing the war was to me. It killed oil my poor rela tions and left mein ltick lam worth —let me see how much lam worth in i Bonds. There are of 7:20V 825,000 i There are of 6‘4o’s 25,000 And the 7:3o’s 25,000 And the 10:20V 25,000 • 8100,000 Now one hundred thousand dollars is nothing, yet it is quite a little plumb.. When the war began l wan’t worth a coppe , unless it was in and bts. Now 1 |am well off, But I was a cuning cuss ! Didrrl I make war speeches, and de (• nottnee democrats, ard mob ‘‘copper heads,” and go it strong for the-Union ? Vou bet! Ha-ha-ha-ha ! But the so Is : are not all dea l. Some of them are —that is, they were killed. And didn’t ! I get . the poor people to enlist and j fight to preserve the Union ? Damn the Union, if 1 only get i-ffiee and hold . bonds. That’s what makes the cream j elevate itself!. And then didn’t I go in for boun ties, and go it strong on patriotism ; {and play it big on loyalty? Guess ! not ! Oh, no! Guess patriotism don’t ] pay ! Look at these little fellers with figures on the face and these little cot,- ! pons on the end of them ? ll.ow are you my suffering country ? ’ ■ It takes a smart mau to keep oat of . war himself, and entice others to go. The bounties is what fetched ’em !—. Door fools ! You eee they went to fight. ‘ From all the towns, cities and comities To war they went to get the bounties ! Some were killed ! And some were wounded - ! . • ‘ . Bonie were shot And some were drownded! And some, wh -n tliia eruef war was over ” came back 1 had a iarm. I sold it and put my money in bonds.” Bonds beat farms ten to nothing!— ’ And I speculated in u things.” And . I soid stuff to the soldiers And l . get their bounty money on shares,. : — And L filled down quotas, and made a nice little haul by that. And 1 put i iny. cash in bo’ ds Bonds are just old ro-ewood with gilt edge. Let me see. I have now one hundred thousand dollars in Gov : eminent Boride. How 1 lute my Go vernment l It i the best the sun ever shone on ! These bonds aVfnige me eight per cent, interest in gold, Eight per eent. on o: e hundred thousand dollars is just eight thousand. And I get it in gdd, worth thirty-five to forty-five per cent, j remiuru. This ‘ makes in -reenbacks the snug 1 tile sum of eleven thousand dollars —round numbers, And the beauty of it is I don't have one cent, of taxes to pay. Isn't it nice ? This is the best Government the world ever saw. Rich men hold bonds —poor men pay them. The tax gatlr erer don’t bother me, It don’t cost me one red een to —let me see ! To pay st te expenses ! To pay government expenses ! Ta pay Gounty taxe-! To pay city t xes ! To pay village taxes ! To pay town taxes ! To pay school taxes ! To pay road taxes ! To pay poor taxes! To pay lot building churches, school houses, bridges, railroads, imprsve ments, or even inf rest! I am one of the supporters of this goxeuiment! Good thing ! Bit had not been for such loud mouthed stay at home-guards, the war never would have been ended. And the soldiers’ bounties ! K’cod that is the best joke ol the season. You see we raised them by taxation ot cour-e. And we taxed the pro’er ty —the real estate ot the town. And we issued town bonds, city bonds, ou ty bond , state honos, and every *.fher kind of bonds. And we sold i ’ it dog cheap to ge* tne money to pay bounties. And us telk ws bought the bonds at a discount. And we gave the “volunteers” money to go to war. And while th y wen gone we had a good time. And we sold our farms cheap, to the wives of the soldiers. | And we got our bounty money all back. And better still! The soldiers came back from war and now are Thomasville, Georgia, Wednesday, April 25, Ij>GG. working to pay the taxe- to pay the interest on my bonds ! Is'nt it nice f The and —d fools went to war. and now come back and work like dogs to pav us the int rest on the bonds we sold to give them mot ey. They are paying thcmselres far getting shot at Bully for us bond hoi idrs ? And now they work to pay the in terest.. When they get used to it we’ll make them pay the principle too !—- ! What a goo 1 Government this is! This war did’nt cost me a cent, I did’tit spill a drop of nay blood—but key—rhist, how I did bawl out against the democrats ! And now [ sit in my parlor--I smoke my cigars—l drink my wine— -1 enjoy myself, and have no taxes tq pay. Look at the pocr cuss across the creek ! He a'inr worth a thousand dol ars, yet he, poor dog, is in debt, and pays half his earniugs in taxes— He pavsall the taxes, and then his wife sells butter, eggs. wool mi yarn, | milk, vegetables and >uch little things she wants, to get the money to put in the bank to pay me the interest on my one hundred thousand dollars, as’ it falls due every three months! You see this is financial science! Poor men support the Government, pay all the taxes, make us rich; do | all the fighting Us bond holders. : office holders and sueh patriots do the i figuring, get the offices, the money, j and have a good time of it. Now I eat fine food, while that poor cuss over the wav eats coarse. Apd I wear broadcloth, he wears paches.— \nd my wife flaunts her silk- and swings her balmoral skirts under the nOse rs that poor man’s rife, for I am a rich, taxless bondholder, apd he is the poor cus§ who supports the govern ment and. me too! ■ Work away, you poor fools. Toil • your fingers to the bone, and die poor men for my sake. Tin war was a tod send to thieves, swindlers, cowards, [ stay-at home patriots, abolition agita : tors, republican office holders, robbeis, • and in.fact all of our crowd of Union I voiers. Damn the Union, if we can i only hold botfds and offices, nd keep the people in poverty ! Guess this wasn't a rich man’s war 1 *—guess not.

Hugh McCulloch, Secretary of the Treasury. * Remark able lli-l©fy *f a l’rprtJ It ©at. Gen. Maury’s report of the defence of Mobile ttar rates the eventful history • of a torpedo boat as follows : One very returnkable vess 1 of this sort was constructed in Mobile and r sc lit by tail to Charleston, where it was used against the Feder j fleet. It was built of .boiler iron, was about 35 feet iong, and was manned by a crew of- nine men, eight of whom worked the propeller by hand. The ■ ninth stopred tiio. boat uiid . ro^juluted her movements below the surface of the water. Slier could be- submerged ‘/ pleasure.to any desired depth, or .could be propelled upon the surface. In smooth, still water her movemet ts were exactly controlled, and her speed was about Lour knots. It was intended that she should approach an}? vessel lying at anchor, pass- under her keel, ami drag af’ter'ber a floating .torpedo, which would- explode on striking the side or bottom of the ship attacked. 81m coul l remain submerged more t! an ‘half an hou-r without incon\e nicnce to the-crew. Soop after her arrival, in Cliarlcston, Eiout Payne, of the Confederate navy, with eight others, volunteered to attack the Federal fleet with her. While preparing for. their expedition, the swell of. a passing, steamer caused the boat to sink suddenly, and all hands, except Lieut. Payne, who was at the moment standing in the open Hatch way perished. She was soon raised and. again made ready fur service.— Lieut. Payne again, volunteered to command her. While lying near Fort Sumter site capsized and again sunk in deep water, drowning all hands ex cept her commander and two others. Being again raised and prepared for action, Mr. Aunley, one of the con structors, made an experimental cruise in her in Cooper r'ver. While sub merged at great length, from some un known cause she became unmanageable ar'd remained for many days on the bottom of the river with her crew of nine’ dead men. • A fourth time was the boat raised, and ‘Lieut. Dixon ol Mobile, of the •21st vo'unteers, wth 8 others, went out of Charleston harbor in her and attacked and.sunk the Federal steamer Housatonic. ller mission at last accomplished, she disappeared forevi r with her crew. Nothing'is known of th ir fate, but it is be.ieved they went down with the enemy, j . • How to Dispose of Trash A | great many persons are at a loss how i to dispose of the ragged and mutila ted currency th t accumulates on their hands. An exchange says it is the j asiest thing in the world, and without any expense. When you gft throe dollars’ worth on hand, put it in small packages, pin a paper band aroun with your name, post office address, and the amount ; then put it in an en velope, and address it to the “Treasu ry of the United State", Washington, |D. C.’* It goes and returns free of postage. \ou will get new currency in about one week from the time you start it. Invincible fidelity, good humor, and complacency of temper, outlive all the charms of a fine face, and make the decays of it invisible. I — . Moderation.— Fuller beautifully sayes of moderation, that “it is the silken string running through the pearl chair of all virtues ’’ VOL. VI.-No. 17. [ The Civil .Rights Bill - Its Or liation am> Effect.— To* Wash ington correspondent of the Charleston Courier, says : The Civil Rights Bill, as I am ad vised by lawyers and jurists here, will execute itself without the interposition of- the Presi.le it; that is to United States Biatrict Judges w 11 be 1’ bound to Like notice of the law, and to -appoint Commissioners, if need be, te carry it into effect. Some of the ’ -Judges of the United States District Gouit-s in States where this law will apply, have been appointed, and are in the exercise of their duties. ‘ ‘ 4 he law, in the first section declares a most important principle. It declaim that negroes born in tho United States, etc., are citizens. This” declaration is represented by high authority—such ! as that, for instance, of Senator Rov erdy Johnson —as nneonstitutional. I The President has so judged. The , authorities consulted by the President I confirm him in that opinion. But still that is the law until the United State* Supreme Court shall otherwise decide. , The freed men are citizens of the Uni ted States, but not of the States, un ; der this law. The first section, thru, has tint effect and no more. The ne groes, as United States citizens, may claim passports, they may take out sh p registers, and may avail them selves of land pre-emptions. • As to the past, it is the Commissioners lobe ■ appointed by the United States DU. triet Courts who are to be paid as po litical ferrets, spies, informers, prose ! eufors, etc. But will the Judges, ap • pointed by President Johnson, accept ‘ the office ? Those who would do it, under this law, have been denounced in advance iu the United States Sen ate, and who-will take their part? —. } New Translation <>f the Strip tore.—A correspondent of the New | Vork Times, writing from Pari* on the J 2‘d and of March, says : ‘ The grand preliminary convention for taking steps for a uew translation of the Bible, which has been-in cours* ; of preparation for years, held its first session in this city yesterday, and was a great success.
