Post, says the White House has been with
out its mistress for several days, and the
Republican this morning speaks of the
Presidents mansion as deserted" Mrs
Lincoln left Boston several days ago, ac-
companied by Lieutenant Watts, late gar

that the visit is on business connected with
the replenishing Of the Presidents mansion
That ed6ce looks vastly inproved IN its
new coat of paint, and the Improvements
in the interior are quite as marked. Mrs.
Lincoln is very tidy bousekeepcF aud is
determined TO make the White House an
agreeable place of resort this winter. There
is prospect at present that Washington
will be quite gay ibis winter--as gay as
the excitement Of this terribls blow will

South Caroline

In an able article referring to the landing
OF the naval expedition upon the coast Of
South Carolina, the New York Evening
Post truthfully remarks, that to place an ar
my in that State is 30 attack treason on its
stronghold, and bring gloom and dismay to
the hearts of the traitors who first plotted
this infamous conspiracy. To lombard
Charleston and raze it to the ground, leav-
ing not one house standing, would strike
a death blow at the Instruction; aud
would be righteous yengeaucs upon the vile
hole, where treason has besh ferrnenting
for a quarter Of century,, 70 raise our
dag over the walIa OF Fort Sumter would
give confidence to the nation just in the de-
gree in which it would alarm the iusur-
gents. rs. ..s@~sl
For every reason South Carolina should
be made the battle Geld of the war. Ii Is
the one State where hatred to the Union
and the constitution has infected nearly
the whole population. With characteristic
sel6shness the South CaroIinians, from the
very beginning of the rebellion, showed
their anxiety and determination. at every
hazard, to keep the war out of their bor-
ders. Their intrigues precipitated poor
Virginia into rebellion their demand made
Davis hasten the insurgent army to its
posts in the Old Dominion; they were the
first to march northwsrd, and the loudest
to declare that their precious South Caroli-
ma must be defended on the Potomac. All
the ruin which has befallen Virginia these
calculating traitors are responsible for;
they see without a thought Of regret the
fair fields OF sister States given up to the
ravages Of War; and they can only be
touched by bringing destruction to their
own homes. II
Moreover the pity we naturally feel for
the losses sustained in the border States.
neither we of the North nor their fellows Of
the South will feel for South Carolina. The
deluded Kentucky and aFenpessee men who
entered the Confederate army months ago
declared that they ''haled 6rst an abolition
ist and then South Csg9lbianP and the
Palmetto chivalry have behaved themselves
towards Virginians and others with so much
superciliousness and insult that few of their
friends would not like to see their pride
humbled.
South Carolina, then, is the true battle
seld where the war should be fought out.
Her sands are the proper arena, Else
where our ermies injure property and de-
stroy life with brotherly reluctance. But
her conduct has placed South Carolina out
side the limit of our regard. On her soil
hostile armies may meet as on neutral
ground, and we much mistaken if the
South would not see with almost equal
pleasure as the North, the tide of war con-
6ned to the limits of the most trueulent, the
most selfish, the prondest and the meanest
State in the Union. Ee7-.E ..z- '--

ARMY Poetry. AA--sz
The war, if it results in wounds and
death, also produces much exquisite poetry
The solitude of the camps, the thought of
absence from friends and ihome, the ex-i
pectatiou Of battle -aIl-ths- natural
risks incident to the life of a soldier, are
well calculated to inspire serious and senti-
mental reflection. The apprehension Of
parents and friends that military experience
leads TO dissipation and reckiessness is not
generally well founded. Many who are at
home are not in the habit of thinking of
religion or of their own future state, med
itate profoundly upon these things amid
the loneliness of camp lite. The, following
beautiful lines were zwritten1b y1a private.
