Southern Comments on the Pres.
ident'S MESSAGE.

The Presidents Message is a~ssailed
by the New Orleans Bulletin of July S,h
in the most furious and abusive language
seemingly, which it could command. We
copy the article. to show our readers tc
what a pitch of perfection Southern edi-
tors have carried the art of Evaporation
1t is easy to see that a feeling of disap-
pointment and apprehension, caused by
the tone of the message. lies at the foun-
dation of the Bulletins remarks:
THE UsURPER's MEssAGE.-Assum-
ing that the spirit of the Usurper's mes
sage to the old Congress of the North
has been correctly interpreted by the
telegraph, we confess that we feel little
disposition to devote to it any heightened
remarks. The public mind of the South
had been pretty well prepared, by the out
givingS of the Jac)bin press, for the
Ioathsome mass of falsehood, vindictive-
ness and hypocracy with which the old
periured villain has insulted the common
intelligence and civilization Of the age.
1--WE do not care to follow the message
through its tortuous winnings, and ex-
pose its deceilful assumptions, its Jesu.
itical lodges and pretenses, its boastful
vaporings, its b,utish tone, and It's heath
en- indifference to the agonies of the peo-
pie of the North, and general stupidity,
bloodthirstiness and insanity which it ex-
hibits. All these are apparent, and must
strike the minds of enlightened men the
world over with amazement, disgust and
horror.
ut is said that this creature Lincoln
this vulgar savage who seems to be ma
king desperate efforts to initiate the Ne
ros and Caliguias of old, and who ap-
pears to be DESTROYS of witnessing the
general cOnhagration of the whole cum
try formerly known as the United States,
now composed of the Confederate States
and the Lincoln Empire, takes opiates
daily which keep him in a state of gen
eral stUpor, induced originally to make
him sleep, and kept up for some similar
purpose. We know not the truth Of these
averments. but it seems to us that his
message gives them pIauSibilily. If this
be so, the idea of a Paris paper hat he
actually in a state of mental hallucI-
nation or Iunacy may prove to be the lit

posterity will hold him to a rigid ecc1unt
Throughout the South the message will
be read with disgust and Indignation. If
it were made to intimidale her people by
a great display of resources on paper, TO
be hereafter-perhaps-available 1t will
signally fail. On the contrary, 1t
will rouse to a still higher pitch the oP-

The Loyal Regions of the South

Upon a general view of the slave States
east of the Mississippi, they exhibit a
disafected rim skirting the Mississippi
River, the Gulf of Mexico md the At
%IantIc, including an elevated plateau
which is occupied by a loyal population
The low!ands which constitute this dis
affected RIA, are characterized by the
presence Of a large proportion Of slaves.
The highlands which constitute the CEN
trial region, are comparatively free FROM
that social and political curse.
Western Virginia, Eastern Kentucky,
Western North Carolina. Eastern Ten
nesSee. North Alabama, and Northwest
ern Georgia, and probably a portion oil
Western South Carolina, are loyal
East Tennessee. which IS the center Of
this central plateau, is not only loyal, bat
beIIigeran,ly loyal. Its people are not
only ready 10 fight. but they are deter
mined TO fight in defence of their liber-
ties and nationality.
This central plateau embraces the old
Cherokee country, acquired by General
Jackson twenty-five years ago, and which
he regarded as SO essential to the unity
and integrity of the South. It IS over
that country that the great railroads do
pass and must pass, which unite Mem
phIs and Charleston, and the Southwest
Virginia.

During the battle a great many inte-

the First Massachusetts Regiment, was
leaning his back against q tree in a very

about calmly and remarked "that be was

was not yet cast" and proceeded to issue
commands.

Nebraska Volunteers,
Omaha Inlu Q5ih 1851

The Nebraska Regiments now full SO
far as the number of companies is concern
ed, and is almost ready to take up the
line of march for the field of battle, nc
matter where it may be.
The late defeat of the Federal forces
in Virginia has created a spirit of revenge
among our volunteers, and they are anx-
ious to be sent South where they would
have an opportunity to rush to the rescue.
Join in the fierce and bloody conflict, and
come off the field as conquerors covered
with The halo of glory, or die under the
free and starry Flag of our country Is
becometh the noble sons of the glQEfous
North, as soldiers of a free, eDfghted
and powerful Republic, and as Spartans
of a modern age.
We may not give mankind TO under
stand that we are the most perfectly dis
cipIined soldiers, IN the world, but if we
have an opportunity 10 show our courage,
the nations may learn that the children
of the Northwest are not the least brave
among the warriors known.
The volunteers life is not the most
pleasant imaginable. 1t sears the con-
science, and tends to make the man a saw
age. 1t obliterates the finer feelings, i'm
planting in their stead the stern and re-
lenlless, and forms the man a hardened
stole. l. throws over the grand and beau
tiful, a pail of darkness impenetrable
wipes out The thoughts that appreciate the
sublime and perfect, and creates a burn
ing thirst for the dark and terrific, the
terrible and bloody, the rear of cannon
and the conflict t~ireless. Yet, as we are
serving God. in serving our Country, we
must take the times and changes as they
come; we must hold our heads above the
pillows, and breast the storms with which
the fendS assail us. We have enlisted to
fight for the Union, and we WILL fight
for it until we die; but for the sake of
peace, that the arts may flourish, and the
sciences improve, that civilization may
spread over the whole earth, for the sake
of Justice, and for H~umanity's cause, let
the war be ~sanguiAary and fearful, let it
be terrible but brief.
In the writers's last article the name
of Miss Ingols should have been men,
tened as an active participant in getting
up the volunteers dinner. Let the writer
assure her that though she is last named,
she may not be least remembered,
But that in days to come when we

Enclosed l send you the following con-

Tucker, editor of the defunct State Jour
nal, which was seized in the Office of the
latter. 1t was handed to me for publ
cation. 1t is in Jackson's own hand
writing, of which | have taken a careful
copy. Gov. Jackson little dreamed when
he wrote. this, that it would ever be ex.
posed to the public eye as a glaring evi.
dence of treason and treachery. But he
letter speaks for itself.
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,
April %, 1861.
j. ". Tucker. Esq:
MY DEAR SIR: | write this note in
confidence and under a state of mind very
peculiar. | know not when l have been
so deeply mortified as on yesterday upon
reading article in the "Republican."-
Gov. Price called on me a few days ago
when passing on his way to St. Louis.
We had an interview of ten minutes, not
more. 1t was strictly private and conf
Dental.
Neither was at liberty to repeat what
the other said, much less was either IL
censed TO mistake and misrepresent the
position Of the other. Gov. Price asked
ne what | thought as TO the time of cal
ling the convention l told him not to be
ina hurry, but to wait till the legisla-
ture met, and to be here at hat time. so
hat we could consult with the members
from all parts of the State, and fix upon
a proper time; that in my opinion we
should not go out of the Union until the
Legislature had time to arm the State to
extent, and place 1t IN a proper
position of defense.
This was, ia substance, the sum total
of ALL said.
Gov. Price said many things to me, in
that short interview, which | am not at
to repeat, and which | could not
do without doing violence TO my sense
honor. violating every rule of pro-
pFiety which governs the intercourse of
gentlemen. and forfeiting all claim TO the
position of an honorable member of com
munity.
Ii it be the purpose of Paschall and
to make me endorse the position of
the Republican" and the miserably
base and cowardly conduct of Governor
submission convention, then they
are wofully mistaken.

IllegItfmare virginians.

The Northern papers exult greatly over the
supposed Union sentiment in Virginia, and
talk bravely about sending down an army into
our State, to give the Unionists a chance to
maintain themselves. That there arc a few
Yankee settlers in Virginia, who have no love
for the Old Commonwealth, and who came into
i. to gain profit and wealth by specializing
upon the easy good nature of our people, we
10 not doubt. In some of the border counties
Of the Northwest, there is a lnongrel herd of
tunsyisanians and Ohioans, who have left
;beir o" States to get a living in Virginia.
These u.en are not of US, nor with US. They
are of that loose band of nomadic adventures
who ronm the earth in quest of prey. They
will soon be squelched ont by the true stock of
Old Vi.sinians-the descendants of Andrew
Lewis and his comrades Of Revolutionary
memory. The impudence OF these illegitimatc
Firginiars Of foreign birth will speedily be
rebuked, and their attention turned to other
climates uore congenial to their feelings and
associations.
