abounds in good things. We give few Of
the brcstling points:
The Spirit of the South. We frequently
receive as many as half dozen letters In 0
day from the different Principalities in the
Southern Confederacy, threatening us with
death In its most horrible forms. These 10
voting States arc swarming with despara'
does and assassins, who would DO altogethe,
happy in bathing their hands in the blood
Of the Union men. A moro ferocious ahu
maleyolent barbarism cannot DO found on
Gods green earth, than that now dominant
in this (" Southern Confectionery" Private
worth, public virtue, age and experience.

Three 6tihs of tho liz, sustaining coil OF the
country is now slave territory, and moro Is
even afforded by the free States. The seeur-
ity of the slave States can only be maintained
by having that portion set apart for the
South, which Is congenial to slave labor.
Those emigrating from the free States, or
foreign countries, not In favor OF slave labor,

The Failed Stomach. An old man named
Rsop, who lived in Grccsc $500 years ago,
had a great fancy for writing fables. Among
many others, he wrote one entitled "The
Stomach and the Members" in which the
mutual dependence of all parts of the hui
man body is admirably shown, under the
carb of simple fiction. This fable Is not
familiar to our " Southern chiyalry," judg-
inc from their boosted Independence. Like
the rebellious stomach Of Esop's fable, they
saw they can get along without Tennessee
hogs and corn. And yet they are crouch

Southern Confcderacy, was conceived in sin,
shapened in iniquity, and born out OF due
