their earnival2 Has the Congress of Hell
held its session, and have they commission
ed all the legions Of the damned to demonize
our enemies Has Lucifer given furlough
to all his internal cohorts? Has be estab-
lshed his church ir every Black Republi-
cans heart. and has he ordained Belial and
Moloch his High Priests? Are we to have
war with devils? These questions must
be answe cred. Our implacable foes, goaded
on by hatred that is remorseess and unre
lenting because they have insulted and in
jured as, have already answered them. They
have inaugurated.a war of extermination-a
war in which no mercy is to be shown or
quarter given. Let it bs so ! The South
has never asked favor Of her enemies. She
asks none now.
From The Lexington Ky. Statesman.
We rejoice at the death of Ellsworth, and
only regret that every man who followed
him did not share his fate; we lament the

trust that every Colonel in the Federal ser
vice will meet his jackson, and that every
Hessian will find his grave upon her SOIL
From the New Orleans Della.
Thus far the Northern horde have lost two
of their most renowned Colones before they
have encountered any army force of the
South. Ellsworth, an upstart summerset-
turner, who carried stroling company Of
so-call Zouaves about the country last Sum-
mer, exhibiting their feats of grand and lofty
tumbling at 25 cents admission, children
and negroes half price, has suffered the pens
atty Of an act of audacity and insult to the
Confederate States and Col. Vosburgh, a
commander of one of the New York regis
meuts, died recently from the effect of over
exertion and excitement, at the Relay House.
This is the beginning of the end There are
few others Of these rufians whom we COM
mend to the special notice of eur sharpshoet-
ers. The blear-eyed demagogue of Massa-
chusetts, the uxorious Sickles, and shoot-him
down Dix, have a very earnest ambition for
the subjugation, and we hope they will be
allowed fair chance of earning the laurels
they seek.
From the Charleston Mercuy
Our telegraphic dispatches come laden
with news ofmementous import. The heart
beats high, for war has commenced in Vir.
ginia-Alsxans4ia is lost Hampton is occu-
cupied, and the cause is won. We would
not have had it delayed day. Let the
march of war be onward, Let the tramp re-
sound throughout the land; for the thunder
of his tread proclaims the eternal indepen-
dence of the grea. Conservative, Southern
Slave Republic. Fling high the Cap of Lib
erty, and God speed the Old Dominion =
Regenerate and disenthralled from the polit-
ical vassalage to the brutal mobocracy under
which she has so long been held, as under
an opiate drug, again the old State Of the
Cavalier blood has reused her in her pride,
TO shield her honor with her breast. Let the
blow como, and let it cleave the Continent of
America as with cimetar, from the Atlan-
tic to the Pacific.
War has commenced soil of Virginia
has been invaded and occupied by rufian
horde, and, if we mistake not the stuff of
which Southern men ar. made, that blow
has at last been struck which shall peal, like
the lightning from heaven over the vast forA
est, through the million of burning hearts at
The South. Not so much that Virginia has
been outraged, not that Alexandria has been
overrun, not that Hampton is occupied but
hat one of those deeds OF heroism has been
performed which paint the pages of history
IN light, bring back the days OF noble chival-
y. and spread glory over the escutcheon of
he Mother State. The deed of patriotism
performed by jackson has stained, for the
irst time, the Stars and Barsv of the Con.
'ederate flag with blood- and that blood
worthy of true Southern heart-the blood
If martyr and hero.
Upon his own hearth he fell, arms in hand
lealing death to the insulter of that flag
,ne man against q thousand murderers. He |
ell, bewed to peices by the rabble horde
But bis spirit will live-upon the storm and
ike the hurricanes of the South, will sweep
rom the uttermost shores of the Gulf to the /
ugged mountain peak Of the North. 1t will
'oar ever the fields of bloody battles to come,
md shrek aloud for vengeance amid carnage.
It shall rush forth in the booming of every
cannon, and shall gleam in the flashing OF
,very Southern blade. And it will live, too,
n times to come. when the smoke of battle
'hall have passed away, and the memory Of
,lood shall have almost been forgotten. The
name of jackson shall be enshrined in the
heart of Virginia, as the name of Jasper in
South Carolina, and recorded upon the
brightest pages Of her history. His death is
Tictory won, and his name shall be inscribed,
u monumental marble, by the side of Vir,
sinia's worthiest sons.
