The WAY THE PENNSYLVANIA DuTcH-

The WAY THE PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH
MEN FIGHr.-When the Berks County
and other interior troops were on their
way to Camp Curtin, the officers had a
conference over the news of the taking of
Fort Sumter, and the fact, that after
thirty-six hours cannonading no life was
lost. One honest Dutch officer could
not understand how this could be done,
but another officer. better posted in mod
ern warfare. assured him that It was all
owing to the astonishing Improvements
en- modern science. which had made the
art Of war SO perfect that forts might be
battered down and cities be bombarded,
and yet not single individual be killed.
The honest Dutch son of Mars listened
attententively and in surprise at such re-
markable results. Suddenly his face
REDEEMED. and with blow of his fist up
on the table which sounded like the dis
charge Of columbiad. he exclaimed,
"Den by tam. dey hat peter not bring
down our Tutchmans. for dey coult not
go into fight mitout killing somepoty."

PRESIDENTS TRIBUTE TO THE BRAVE MEN AT MANAssAs.--The Richmond Dispatch of the 24th ult., notices the return of President Davis and the demonstration of welcome made by the people on his arrival. In answer to the vociferons calls made by the people, MT. Davis addressed them in glowing and eloquent terms of commendation of the gallant men who won the victory at Manassas. The Dispatch says:
 He described the brilliant movement of Gen. eral Johnston from Winchester to Manassas, and with fervid feeling drew graphic picture ot the struggle of the wearied soldiers of that gallant command for seven hours with the heaVy columns of the enemy. After paying a most honorable tribute to Gen. Johnston, who seized the colors of regiment and rallied them to the flag of the Confederacy, he allu- oed 10 the glorious manner ill which Gen. Beauregard came to the support of his com :ades In arms, and at late hour relieved him or the odds against which he was contend lng' Each of these two able commanders, though not imprudently or idly exposing their persons where 1t was unnecessary, yet, when their presence was demanded, gallantly dash edAbefore the lines, and by their personal cour- age and example, reanimated the ranks when ever they were shaken.
 The President, in delicate manner. alluded to ms own appearance upon the field, in order 10 pay a tribute to the devotion of the soldiers 10 the Confederacy. Men, he said, who lay upon thelr backs, wounded, bleeding and ex- hSausted, when they saw him pass, though tney could do nothing else, waved their hats as tney lay, and cheered for Jef Davis and the South. Where the ranks had been bro Ken and the men were somewhat scattered, when they saw the President of the South in tnelr midst, shouted that they would follow Htm 10 the death, and rallied once more for @'e 'asT and the successful onslaught.

The Gov ernment the buyer-the planter the seIler-iL this way we aid the Government and are our selves relieved of many embarrassments- while upon the other plan we are ruined with out giving material aid to the Confectionery. During the blockade, without market or money, would it net be unwise in the Government to ask her people to send forward their crops, to be sold for cash, when there was no cash with which to buy.
 Let the Government fix price-appoint an agent in in each county to buy, and delivered when required. Then bonds to be issued to pay war expenses, having cotton as bullion to be coined in European hints, after the blockade is opened. This, together with the faith of the Confederacy, gives confidence and becomes our currency; hence, we are benefited while we aid the coouary-when the people are prosperous the country cannot be otherwise. The people pay the debts oi the Government, hence, it is the duty of the Government to keep them in condition to dc so.
 The plan above indicated involves us to de- fend our soil and still keep business channels properly moving. No country under the sur ever had such advantages, such resources and so much willingness on the part of her people to aid in every way they can.
 Respectfully yours, &c.,
