There has been m'&ch said iii the public journals of the country re cently, and much, no doubt, will be said, this sum mer on political stump Ro'Hh of the Potomac, on the subject of Southern Institutions, and the necessi ty of establishing Southern Manufactories; but our Nevrbernians are speaking in the language, which alone can bond the public mind into the proper chan nel Ad bring about the desired result which, alone ran insure the independence of the South against the rjehest of the North. Newbern instead of making long gasy speeches, and inaugurating long series of high sounding resolutions, has gone to work to producing some of the most common arti cles of home consumption. For instance, Dr. OnriH bee has bee" manufacturing a splendid article of t.oap for !eVeral months, which we are glad to say, i.-t now being extensively sold not only by the mer chants of Newbern, but by those of many other towns in our State. This soap is said, by those who have tested its qualities, to be equal if not superior, to Northern soap of its class. r. Ormsbee, if suf ficiently encouraged, will extend his business so as to supply Hy giveu quautity and at New York pri ces. Mr. S. E. Street has made arrangements to manu" f icture writing ink in quantities sufficient to snpply the entire south. He placed upon our desk, recent ly, a bottle of very fine looking blue ink which he warrants to be a very superior article, and not to arode steel pens. We have not trie 1 it yet, but from its appearance have no doubt, it will prove to be epual to its recommendation. Other manufactu ring establishments are being constructed for the manufacture of similar articles, which will be no" tieedin due time. The question is, will the people stain these men in their laudable undertakings ? su We shall see. Shad Fam l.vn. We understand that shad are quite plenty about Kinston at 40 cents a pair. A ouantity were brought down on the train last evening t Newbern for sa'e. This looks a little awkward. Newbern, heretofore, has had a pretty good reputa tion as a fish market, but that reputation seemstobe passing away, for we have not been able to buy a pnir for less than about 75 cents.

C, Feb. 27th, IdGO. Editor of ilie "progress : Having ever possessed a love for the beautiful in nature, and the rh-g-nificent in art, I have consequently been induced to attempt that beyond my reach, viz: that of clothing my thoughts in the flowing language of poesy. Having recently made some futile at tempts at poetizing I have finally concluded that only the love and not the gift of the " divine af flatus " Pagassus would not so obstinately refuse to ascend to the "Helicon fount," and strike with his magic hoof the c?izLVmed rocks which become Vocal at his bidding. So I have suddenly des cended to the vale of plain prose, feeling that the wreath of bright rays will never encircle my brow. Now as I fear I do not feel a high degree of self satisfaction, I may perhaps say some ill-natured things. I will, however, endeavor to speak truth fully and with as little irony as possible. I neVer like to offend when it can be avoided, though so netimes. woman-like, I do love to retaliate even to the wicked degree of taking the conceit out of some folks. Now all the world, I don't mean the four quarters of the globe, Oceanica making the fifth, as I once heard a little boy say, but I em- j ploy the term in its restricted sense a3 certain commentators of the present day. All the world then have heard of Salisbury, but the half of its glory has not been told. You, Mr. Editor, have visited it in your peregrinations; it s a great thoroughfare, they say, I dare say it is, since the railroad has opened a channel of communication with the rest of mankind. But somehow to my mind it looks like an old sun-dial that has long been overgrown with moss and quite concealed from view by tre'es grown luxuriant with time, and the spirit of this progressive age has come along and cleared away some of the rubbish and lopped off the superabundant boughs of verdure, and brought out it's grey visage like another Rip Van Winkle after a long nap. But the decalogue compels one to speak truth despite prejudice. You have undoubtedly gazed with admiring eyes j upon the splendor of its architectural beauties dis played in the grace and elegance of its private mansions, the magnificence of its churches all in the composite style; the imposing grandeur of its hotels, its pleasant streets presenting a long per spective of brick pavements of course, over which crinoline and the flowing trains of fairy creatures sweep with irrepressible signs of impending ruin, from we don't say what, of course not mud ; oh ! no ; our commissioners expend too much money on our streets for that, besides their appearance indicates tho absurdity of the bare surmise. Our promenades are all fine, and beautifully illumina ted until 9 or JO o'clock by the bright flashing gas lamps, which then modestly yields to fair Cynthea's reign who kindly leads the pedestrian over dubious wars to tho quiet circle of home. Of course home is his destination, for in this moral town we shall surelj- find no haunts of vice, no sinks of iniquity, no places of wicked resort to tempt the lords of creation from their allegiance to home. The subdued light of the ominous trans parency marks not the spot where under cover of midnight darkness the rotary of Bacchus and the devotee of sinful pleasure may unseen hold mad orgies with the drunken god or follow nnrestain ed by reproving eyes his voluptuous inclination. Our young men and our old men too are prover bially moral, faithfully discharging the duties growing out of the several relations of life. We have no moral Blue Beards, no unhappy wives; there are no tears shed in secret here, all hearts are filled with sunshine and why should it not be so, as we each one love our neighbor as ourselves, and know more of their affairs than our own, and practice daily the golden rule ; and if perchance there should be suffering among us, if some should want food, or possibly be destitute of the many comforts that we enjoy, are we to blame ? Are we not a charitable people, do we not care for the souls of the poor and see that a regular system of colporterage under the direction of tract societies shall go on among us, and golden sentiments dropped in the dwellings of the outcast, while the squalid filth of their thresholds is swept by the flowing train of some angel of mercy, not in the plain garb of the despised sisters, but in all the rich adornments of some Peri of fashion. I'll as. sure you, Mr. Editor, our town is all that an en ergetic, public rpirited, intelligent and classic people could make it, and bears unmistakable marks of genius and taste everywhere. "We have no spoonies nor pumps," our gents are all noble fellows, truly cavalier from the crown to the toes, don't stand behind goods boxes and in covert places when the rustle of a woman's rabe is heard, to see if an unwarrantable display of nature and art's adornments may be seen ; no they boldly come forth and likej the courtier of old would cast their robes for tiny feet to pass over if permitted. We never commit any absurd ities, but are a very sensible people. Very care ful to preserve among us a precious spirit of lion izing and diiligently enquire' into the state of fi nances before tendering our respect or admiration and sometimes require a whole genealogical table as a sufficient passport to our august society. In deed we are careful to render " honor to whom ho'nar is due,-tribute to whom tribute," and for this purpose keep xip s6me very rational customs, have a well organized band of music for the pur pose of serenading all the sagacious men and wo men who run their heads in the matrimonial noose, particularly editors, as w;e think they are pecu liarly entitled to otfr respect,' if we do sometimes fafl o patronize their papers or pay for them when we do. And of course we expect them to say all possible good things of us, to compliment our men and women, and to tell us that our town is ahead of all others" in the State. That's right, Mr. Edi tor, give us compliments by the wholesale, we like them, and in exchange may send you an adver tisement, marriage notice, or perchance a piece of wedding cake for the sake of seeing ojVr names in your paper. LILLIAN. r i : Early Recollections. To Miss E. J. II t .ofNeteberri. How liSe" the" rjerisive strain of some familiar old song, will the recollections of ou r early days steal upon us.,. 1 was thinking to' day as T sat in rtiy vJihrlow' -watching the trees as they were s'waj'd by the wind of the days of my childhood those happy days when I was unconcious of the troubles and sorrows of life, and as I sat and pon dered memory wandered back to the time when I first left the lamdrum. and noise of town, to become a resident of the country. Ah ! those were happy days that I spent at Elm Grove. Well do I remember the old farm house with its J long, piazza fronting the river and 'neath whose roof I have sat many an hour at night watching the stars as they twinkled away up above think ing of the time when I should become a man and drawing bright pictures and visions of the far off future and ofttimes during, the long summer eve nings how I sat in its shade with the cool breeze fanning my brow and watcVd the ves sels with their spotless sails, gliding like huge white wing'd birds over the ripling waters of the river how many pleasant and joyous reminis cences come crowding back on my memory at the recollection of that dear old river. Methinks I can see it now just as it looked, when I used to sit, at eventide, on the steps of the old Mill that stood at the foot of the lane and watch its bright waters rolling away to the sea, or listen to the murmur of the wavelets, breaking on the peb ly shore, making music more soothing than the seolian harp or at other times have I stood on its bank, when the Storm-God was abroad on the face of the deep the wild winds howling and shrieking in their fury-and the waters one broad sheet of1 seething foam aye a grand and sub lime sight was it to stand and see the waves madly chasing each other over that tract of rag ing, hissing waters. But there are other recol lections connected with my visit to Elm Grove, recollections that came floating back like the re membrance of some pleasant dream ; well do I remember my first visit to the little log school house with its rows of rough, unpainted seats, stained with blots of ink and carved with rude in itials; and the wcQderi peg hailed to t!Vd wall on which was suspended the dinner baskets of those who lived too far to return home at noon, and the schollars too, how well I remember them all, from the tall, ungainly plow bey, to tlie little flax en halr'd girl of five summers. Since those days I have often wandered .of the lUture destiny of those boys and girls and no ono knows but that under the sunburnt brow of some of them, there may have throbed a brain which if properly culti vated and directed, would have made them an or nament to our country aud a brilliant light in the galaxy of litrature. But my thoughts recur to the old school house aga:n and to the kind old teacher, whose pleasant manners rendered him beloved by all who knew him, and how in the evenings when the duties of the day wore over he would accompany us home through the woods beguiling our way with anecdotes of his earlier days ; they were very pleasant, those strolls through the grand old forest, listening to the sing ing of the birds and the sighing of tho wind in the tree tops, and in the Autumn months, when the leaves were brown and sere, we would wan der away through the woods in search of nuts to crack around the fireside or gather the bunches of purple grapes that hang in each profusion around us ; sometimes we would linger ii.ut.ill twi light, had thrown its dusky mantle over the earth and the little stars would come, out, one by one ; at such an hour a tinge of sadness would rest up on the features of our dear old teacher, as he would staHl gazing at the " star lit dome," thinking, I suppose of the time when he too, like ourselves was a merry, light-hearted schoolboy, and now as I think of it, how forcibly the beautiful words of the poet como to mind And thus as in memory's bark we shall glide, To visit the scenes of our boyhood anew, Though oft we mav see, looking down on the tide The wreck of full many a hope shining through ; Yet still as in fancy we point to the flowers That oncemade a garden of all the gay shore, Received for a moment, we'll think them still ours, And breathe the fresh air of life's morning once more How true those words, and there is nothing more pleasant than to let memory wander back througfi the dim vistas of the past, and bring up little incidents connected with our childhood days, and amongst all the recollections of my boy hood there is none that are fraugh with as much pleasure as those connected with Elm Grove and its beautiful fields, arid green wavy meadows, and the old well, with its "moss covered bucket," that stood in the corner of the yard, and the little pond we went to skate on in the cold winter months, and the long winter evenings when we would gather around the spacious fire-side, with its huge fire of hickory and oak, .burning so brightly and casting out such a genial warmth causing i feeling of coziness that is never felt be side the scanty fire of a city grate and the "Un cle Johtl," the owner of Elm Grove, and his kind matronly wife would sit for hours talking about old times, whilst we children amused ourselves making rabbits on the wall with the shadow of our firigefs; or listen, to the tales told us by our motherly old house-keeper. Ah in'e ! How many changes have taken place in the old homestead since then. Should you visit there now and stand on the steps of the back porch and look to wards tlie little grave yard, you csn see a white tablet glimmering through the foliage and it marks the spot where rest the remains of Uncle John's loved wife. Many of them that used to gather around the family altar are scattered and gone ; and as I sit and. think of those old old scenes of my boy hood, I sometimes wish that I could live them over again ; but I know two well they can never be re-acted, only iu imagination, and I know I have waked from that early dream, And fat away is the rolling stream, And the dewv turf where so oft I lay, And the woodland flowers they are far away, And the skies that o. ce to me were blue, .Now bend above with a darken hue. And yet I may wander in fancy bac k At memory's call to my childhood's track. And the fount of thought hath been deeply stirr'd Uv the passing note t a summer bud Invocation to Mpring. BT MRS. SrSAS J. HANCOCK. Come, bh ! come, on balmy wing, Flora, gentle quee'a of Spring ; On thy flower-laden car, From the cinnamon isles afar: Breathe upon the icy streams, Thaw them from their wintry dreams, Wake the warblers of the grove, Tuue anew their notes of loW. Smile upon the. frozen earth", Calling bud and blossom forth ; Spread o'er the woods a leafy sheen, Carpet all the hills w!th green. Set the bubbling brooks afbw, Singing ever as they go. Fringe the fip.nks with moss and fern, Where the turtle dove doth moan. .Sprinkle perfume on the bowers, Gathered from a thousand flowers ; i Sweetest season in the year Give a smile and then a tear. In the dell the violets strew. Fill their fairy cups with dew: Hang the berry's snowy wreath O'er the rustic hedge beneath, Where the water lillies blow And the sweet flag loves to grow. Come, oh ! come, no loinrer stay, Hasten on thy flowery way; , Too long has winter held us clasped In his cold aud icy grasp. Brush the snow from off the hill, Thaw the pond down by the mill; Clothe the hav;-thorn hedge n bloom , Deck the heath in sedge and broom ; Trail the jasmine o'er the steep Where the sparkliug waters leap ; And the finny tribes at play Shine like silver 'mid the spray. We long to hear the bees' low hum, The grasshopper's chirp and beetle's drum, And see the laughing children play Among the wj Idling flowers of May. Then come, on thy silv'ry cloud, Spring, gentle queen, And throw o'er the meadow a net-work of green, Where butter cups, daises and cowslips so sweet With starry eyed primrose and snow drop shall meet. fc FOREST, AKJISTKOSfi & ( O., liTTTC!
