Liberality.—T. D. Bell & Co., of
Gainsvitle, have authorized William Mur
phy to draw on them for $25 per month,
during the lime he may be in the service
of the Confederate States as a volunteer.
This comes in well, for we understand Mr.
Murphy has a sister dependent on him for
a support. Mr. R. G. McMahon, we un
derstand, has authorized his clerk, Mr.
Fargo, to go on the same terms.
The Montgomery papers announce the
fact that two negroes there had subscribed
liberally to the Confederate Joan—$200
eadi. The Gainesville niggers are not
behind. Mv. T. I). Bell’s Henry (Henry
says he was raised by Mr. Davenport, of
Northumberland county, Va.,) and Mr.
R. G. McMahon’s “Jitn Cotton” have
gone into the support of the Government,
each taking a $50 bond, and paying the
money down. They were greeted with
hearty cheers by the assembled crowd.
At Warsaw, two negroes, one belong
ing to Mr. Little and the other to Mr.
Gill, gave each $2 50 to the volunteer fund
Mr. Little’s man was “ in lack.” Three
or four gentlemen standing by were so
pleased with his act that they made up for
him $10 to take the place of his $2 50.

1 HE UPRISING OF THE SuUTII,-11)0 .
unanimity of tho people of the South car
ries joy to the heart of every patriot.—'
There is a general uprising of the masses.
The old and the young, the rich and poor,
are in arms ready to protect their homes
and firesides from the wicked and infuria
ted fanatics of the North, who responding
to the call of their corrupt and nmbitious
rulers, are rallying their ckms for battle.
In the face of these stern facts, no man
pauses-toa.sk where in times of peace, he
stood upon the question of Union or Disu
nion. The question has given way to the
momentous issue of ^Liberty or slavery.—
Shall we be freemen or the degraded serfs
of the army of invaders which is being
vmustered for our subjugation and the des
ecration of our homes and our family al
tars ? This is now the issue, and it has
Called forth the slumbering indignation
and wrath of a UNITED SOUTH.

S«ng of the South.
Raise the voice—raise the hand—
Swear the oath of fealty true ;
Danger menaces ouf land,
Threatens from a dastard crew !
Southern sons of Southern sires, #
Heritors of blood-bought fame—
Fan again those patriot fires—
Beacons to a glorious name—
Raise the standard—shout the cry !
Fear we shame—but not to die !
Fear we tainted honor’s breath,
Fear we contumely’s brand;
Fear we not the glorious death,
Battling for our rights and land!
Oh ! the deep debasing thought!
Cheapened—bid for—priced and sold!
Sold, and with our own pelf bought—
Willing slaves for chains of gold!
Raise the standard,—shout the cry!
Fear we shame—but not to die !
Spirits of our hero sires !
Toiled ye for an end like this ;
Braved ye battle’s carnage fires
That the rod your sons should kiss ?
Oh, forbid it, noble shades !
Hover yet around our land—
That loved land, for which your blades
Scourged the tyrant from our strand !
Raise the standard—shout the cry!
Fear we shame—but not to die !
Leal of heart and strong of hand—
Quick to strike where houor calls—
Firmly now together stand,
Else our i£gis-banner falls!
Hark ! they threaten to invade—
This our mother to despoil!
Hear we this, nor leaps the blade
To cleave th’ insulter to the soil ?
Raise the standard—shout the cry !
Fear we shame—but not to die !
