Among the most complete revulsloRs in public
opinion which has taken place since III. combat Of
the 7th instant, or, il is called In the country,
the battle Of Queen street Hill, there is none to
compare with that which is manifested towards
our citizen soldery. Previous 10 that event, they
were sneered at by a large portion OF our people,
with great want Of sound sense, as "feathor-bed
warriors" and their parades were often character
sed by the dimnutve and contemptuous appella-
ton OF "playng soldiers" For two days after the
Sunday OF the battle, different feeling was mani
Tested towards them, and our ears were assailed
by loud and bitter denunciailons OF their concuct
The expressions OF contempt had given place TO
those OF deferential hatred, and the clamor would
almost lead one to suspect that the whole commu-
nifty was eagued against them. Not 80, however.
The voice of the people began TO be raised. II was
soon that the noise was only the result OF
NATIVE" buyism, IN which but few natives OF the
proper stamp joined, and with raPidlty truiy
| astonishing, the brawhag kHaves, who had made
all the clamor, were silenced and driven To ,heir
dens, and now no man stands hlgnsr In the estma-
| ton OF grateful community than the ciizen
| soldier OF Philadelphia. Ar instance Of TINS was

Some OF The Cadwallader Grrys, which II Will be

subsequently dangerously wounded, to clear The
street OF rioters were under the necessity 81 get

not having time TO 20 to the proper place, stopped

The shoemaker, not being used TO such work, was

soldiers disappointed, he called all hands about his
establishment and set them at IT, Alter con-

asked what was the charge, the noble hearted me-
chanic replied, "Not cent; you, ! believe, are
the men who stood to your posts in defence Of the
laws against mob you did your duty manfully,
and # had done fifty times as much labor rs this,
Il shouldn't cost you farthing" This 10 a soliis-
l ry instance OF many similar actions which take
place all around Us, and afford, together with the
present cowed tone Of rabld natlveism, a pretty
good indication Of the popularity OF our volunteers.
In addition to this, the ranks Of the different COM
panies particularly those which stood their ground
best, If there be any difference at all in this Ie-
spect, are filled to overfowlpg, and all are max
ing new accesslons every meeting night be-
sides spirit OF rivalry has sprung up between
the first and second brigades, and each con-
tends for the honor Of having performed their duty
on the night OF the combat with more effect than
| the other. This Is very good spirit, provided II
be not carried too far, tor it is easy 10 carry
praiseworth emulation TO such extent as 10 en-
gender bitter and palIry lealousies, which would

has resulted from all this-you hear OF no more
| sneers at the military.
