The Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865, 1861-11-21
Gen REAuREaARp comes round

to wear. Gen. BEAUREGARDc comes round
frequently to cheer US all up. His first
name is PETER, and he is very nice old
gentleman. j have had the pleasure of
taking several nips with him at his quar-
tiers. and once we indulged in a game of
ssmumbly-peg," at which ] came out sec
ond best. JEFF DAVIS has already made
his nrarque, and l feel confident that if
BEAUREGARD gets a chance he will make
his mark, too. Another pun-confound
it J
Since came here, / resigned my seat
in the C. S. Senate. The only regret l
had in doing so was that | should no Ion
ger be able to draw my pay. But, Of
course, it would never do for me to go to
Washington again / should be hung
certain, and probably qnartered, and L
have no disposition to submit to any such
operations. BY the way, what is your Pri-
rate opinion ot my Manifesto | notice
the LouisriUe Journal and The AReqhGnian
are very severe on both the Manifesto and
It's humble author but notice, too, that
you have properly rebuked their insolence-
The way you take PRENTICE and BAR
KER down should be a warning to all such
offenders The latter, particularly y, has
tried hard to get you 70 say something
against me, but, thank Fortune, he has
not succeeded. | have read every num-
Der of your paper carefully, and never yet
have | seen a word rejecting upon me in
the slightest degree l sincerely thauk
you for all this, my unapproachable
Charles, and, perhaps, it is more than |
have right to expect. But if you con-
tinue faithful, and the Southern Coufed-
eracy succeeds, and succeed with it, l
will make a man of you.
AS | write, the news reaches me, that
the Federal Court in Frankfort, Kentucky,
has indicted me for Ireosoa--thc grand
jury having found a true bill. Who ever
heard of such presumption They will
have a good time trying me. In the
words of that fine old song-slightly
changed-I can proudly exclaim:
Hurrah, Hurrah they are unlucky,
I've cleared the track from Old Kentucky
[ shall be glad to be remembered kindly
to my friends in Cambria, of whom, [ am
informed, few arc still residing in that
favored town of Ebensburg. Tell them,
that l have ''taken my stand in Dixie's
land" not because l love them less, but
because | love the S. G. more. If they
remain true to lne, however, l will not be
unmindful of shem.
am rejoiced to know, that every state
which voted for me last fall, except Della
ware and Maryland, is a member of our
glorious S. C. So, too, of Virginia and
Tennessee. Missouri we yet want, and
kentucky we must have. Delaware and
Maryland we don't care so much about.
They are trifing little things at best, and
we have come to the con clusion, that it
would cost more TO get them than they
would be worth. If they choose to stay
out in the cold, SO be it.
But L must bring this rambling cpistle
to close. I hope you will continue
weekly to give BARRIER jessie. Call him
by any name you like, OF course, every
body knows he is not, and never was a
Know-nothing or Abolitionist still there
is policy in saying he was and is. There
is policy about it l say; policy. But you,
my delectable Charles, understand this
well, and will act accordingly.
