Tone of the Southern Press.

The news from the North, as it gradually
works its way down to the South, provokes
EXPIRE ssions of violent resentment. The
The spleen of the rebels at the discovery of
the sudden change of sentiment among
their former supporters produce some GU
rious effects.
NEW VIEW OF FORT PICK EMS.
The reinforcement of Fort Pickens dis
pleases the Cofederates. They don't like
the act, nor the way in which it was DONE
1t was unpleasant for General Bragg TO
cease Dragging and turn his back upon
Lieutenant Slemmer-bu, il had 10 be done.
The only consolation that is left to the reb-
els is this we find it in the Mobile Adosr-
tiSer
''The Lincolni!ish army on Santa Rosa
Island will have an extra agreeable lime
this summer, and we do no; think that
run them off There is a volunteer and
gratis soldery peculiar TO tho cline that
are whetting their weapons for the assault.
These are the mosquitoes and saadfies, which
will effectively attack the Lncolnites, in
utter contempt of their Fort Pckeus and
their sand redoubts. They do not care for
Colum biads or rifed cannon but rush on
10 The attack regardless of danger, and are
worse than any one of the seven plaques OF
Egypt. We can assure the Lincolnites who
expect summer watering place experiences
on Santa Rosa Island that they will be glad
ly willing 10 exchange the unrsmitiing an
noyapce of these plaques for the excitement
and danger of a regular bombardment -
There is no place on the face of the uni
verse where mosquitoes and sandfies are
more pestilenlly arocious Than on Santa
Rosa Island"
Moreover, they are to be athirst. The
Advs rttser adds:
owe pity those eighty horses of the fly-
ing artillery, as he poor creatures are not
to blame. There is no green thing for them
TO eat, they will be on allowance of water
and soon be tormented to death by the in
sects. We do not know that a more inseni-
ously cruel Dartare could be prac,ised upon the
Lincolnits than allowing them to maintain
their camp on Santa Rosa Island for the
summer. They would beg us 10 come and
whip them away before The summer was

WALL OVER GENERAL SCOTT.
The same paper regrets that General Scott
has made up his mind to fight against the
South. Ii says:
eve did not expect, nor in truth did we
desire, his active cooperation with our ar
mies-but we did hope tha; at least he
would retire with dignity from the head of
the Lincoln army. and refuse to lend them
either countenance or support in the war
which that government has so unnecessa-
.ily and aagitiously provoked. We desired
this quite as much for his sake as for our
own"
WORK CUT OUT FOR THE NEW YORK SEVENTH
The Mobile Register John Forsyth's pa
peri INDUCES in this paragraph:
"a New York paper says: New York
loves the Seventh 1t has distilled all its
best blood in it. We are glad of it, for it
will meet the best blood OF the South in
and around Washington. This city Mo
bile1 has just sent forth four hundred of the
flower of its youth 10 the same field of
struggle. Not hireling among them, but
our brave brothers and sous, who have left
homes and comforts friends and peace be-
hind: TO fight for liberty of their people and
honor of their flag. The North will fight
this war with hired troops, the scam of her

lis war upon the South. we rgOrce that NeC
York has sent one corps of IFS best Blood For
every lie of our youth sacrificed, the loss OF
ten northern ruffians would be no equiva-
lent"
