Only last night we discovered that
we had been guilty of strange f or-
getfulness in our partial enumeration
of Southern poete in our editorial of
yesterday. The name ot Paul H.
Hay ne is omitted. 'The f orgetfulness
is the more strange when we have
read all the verse' he has published,
have often written long aud . short
articles concerning them, and have
so good an opinion of much of the
worir i,0 bas done. In our judgment
Poe and Harry Timrod alone have
equalled or j - surpassed - him among
Southern singers.
