1t is unnatural, it is monstrous it seems To he
miracle of Satan's own working, this hdeous ard
unparalleled transformation. And yet, it is onlv
the failing Of veil, which hypocrisy had thrown
over the face of the most intense seltirhuess and
greed, and other evil passions fthe human heart
New ork has become in wealth ndmugniicence
as well as vice, the Babylon of the New World a.
the stream which feeds her afiiuence her ponn her

festive board and overlooking bumpers, thew pour

vowed and swore that never should their arms he

they redeemed that promise and fulfilled that
pieoge by leading the way III the monstrous
Wlekedness OF that war upon homes and tiresides
when the black republican pirate at Washingt on
mas begun. When we heard the report that these
Wrelches mad been cut to pieces in Maryland, we
hopeo most deVoutly that it was true. We would
prefer the annlhilation of that regiment even ia
mat OF massachusetts soldiers. man can't help
being born on Cape Cod or ''daown East but he
can hep enjoying your hospitality and then trying
to cut your throat. The Seventh Regiment knows
the way to Richmond. Let them come
here once more, and for their ctys sake and their
/ own, they shall have such reception as they de-
serve

South could not and would not submito to- ii is to-
