The Mississippi Creole

Ma'am, a female boy, do you? Just so. I say, my lad, are you the kiln boy? Why yes, you don't suppose... We see that our neighbor copies a vile and we doubt not infamously unfounded calumny of the degraded scoundrel, liar, and poltroon, Prentice, against Mr. G. V. H. Forbes, of Natchez; one of the most courteous, gentlemanly, and amiable men in the state. No one who knows Mr. Forbes and his correct deportment for five or six years which he has been a citizen of Mississippi, would believe one word of the contemptible calumny.—Vicksburg Sentinel. This comes from that caned, cuffed, cowhided, kicked, nose-tweaked thief of the Vicksburg Sentinel; a fellow who has felt the touch of nearly as many boots as the scraper at any door in Christendom. Louisville Journal. Mark, what compliments pass when gentlemen meet! The Journal goes on further to remark: We need not add anything to what we have said of G. V. H. Forbes, the writing editor of the Natchez Free Trader: for, if we are correctly informed, we have already made him flee his country. What we said of his conviction and confinement at hard labor in the Charlestown (Mass.) penitentiary was true. We stated it on the authority of the agent of the Boston Prison Discipline Society, and we have since met with respectable gentlemen of this city, formerly of Boston, who know that G. V. H. Forbes committed forgery in Boston, and was tried and sentenced to the penitentiary, just as well as they know that Lovett was tried and executed in Louisville.
