WIT AND HUMOR. THE GOOD OLD PLOW. Let them sing of the battle fray, And the deeds that have long since past, Let them chant in praise of the tar whose days Are Spent on the ocean vast. would tender to these all the worship you please, I would lenor them even now, But I'd give fur more from my heart's full store, To the cause of the Good Old Plow. Let them land the netes that in music float, Thronol The bright and glittering halls While the amorous twirl of the hair's bright curl.

Round the shoulder of beauty falls. But de ret to me is the song frein the tree, And the rich and blossoming bough, 0, these are the sweets which the rustic greets, As he follows the Good Old Plow. Full many there be that daily we see, With a selfish and hollow pride, Who the plowman's lot in his humble cot, With a scornful look deride But Id rather take a hearty shake From his hand, than to wealth I'd bow For the honest clasp of his hand's rough grasp, las stood by the Good Old Plow. All honor be then to these gray old men. When at last they are bowed with toil; Their warfare then o'er, they battle no more, For they've conquered the stubborn soil And the chaplet each wears, his silver hairs And ne'er shall the victor's brow, With a laurel crown, to the grave go down, Like the sons of the Good Old Plow.

Greensboro', Ala. STORAGE AT MILLWOOD. THE subscriber, in again announcing to his friends and patrons that Millwood is still in the right place," has the pleasure to inform them that their increasing patronage has induced him to build a new and commodious WareHouse entirely above high water, which will enable him to receive and forward goods at all stages of the river. Goods are hauled up by the machinery of his Artesian Mill, which delivers them at the door of the new Ware- House by which ar. rangement a large quantity can be hauled up in a few minutes and under a tarpauling, so as not to expose them long on the bank of the river.

Millwood, he is gratified to inform them, is still only 10 1.4 miles from Greensboro', being like Erie, "a fixed point," but Eastport after having advanced within about 11 1.2 mlles from has gone back to its old place, as will appear from the certificate making it within a few yards of 131-2 miles. In addition to his ususual precautions against fire, he has the mate. rials at hand, and will have all: his roofs covered with Fire Proof Paint as soon as the workmen can put it on. Passengers between Greensboro' and Mobile will find this much the nearest and quickest route; and besides the customory supply of Four Horse Hacks, Buggies, there is now a Four Horse Post Coach passing the Landing every day, which charges only $1 passage. A House of Entertainment is kept at the Landing by Mr.

Mrs. RAMEY, late of South Carolina, who will use their best eftorts to make their guests comfortable, considerable additions being in progress, to the former means of doing so. It is a fact too well known to need any comment, that passengers and goods reach Greensboro' by this route considerably in advance of any other. To persons hauling cotton to his Landing. the subscriber offers the great advantages a large and general assortment of LUMBER, (having 3 saws in constant operation,) and also two run of French Burr Rocks for Flour a pair of Reelo Rocks for Corn, which is screened and fanned before being ground, and bolted afterwards, if required.

As the navigation of the Warrior river is now about to open, with increased facilities for for. warding cotton, he can promise them to do so with the greatest possible despatch. Shipments will be made according to the priority of orders, which must be sent in writing. Thankful for the increased patronage he has re ceived, the subecriber renews his former assurances of diligence and attention to any business committed to his charge. ROBERT W.
