rawlings about the s'YanRes'

TO be conquered in open and manly
fight BY nation Of gentlemen, and sub
iscted to their sway, might not drive us
raving distracted with rage and shame;
but for Yankees-the most contemplate
and detestable Of Gods creation--the vile
wtetches, whose daily sustenancs consists
in the refuse Of all other people-for they
eat nothing that anybody else will buy
for them to lord it over us-the English
language must lie enlarged, new words
must be invented to express the extent and
depth Of orr feelings Of modification and
shame. No, it is not possible that we can
be reduced to q state which there is no
words to describe.
Instead Of this, we must bring these en-
franehised slaves back to their true condi-
ton. They have long, very properly, look
ed upon themselves as our social interiors
as our serfs-their mean, niggardly lives
their low, yulger and sorded oecupa-
tons aveground this conviction into them.
But of sudden, they have come to inn
agine that their numerical strength gives
them power-and they have burst the
bonds Of sergitude, and are running riot
with more than the brutal passions Of q
1 liberated wild beast Their uprisings has
/ all the characteristics of a ferocious, seryile
/ instruction. Their first aim is demolition
the destruction Of everything which has
the appearance Of superior virtue, which ex-
cites their envy and hate, and which, BY
contrast, exposes the shameful deformity
Of their own lives.
They have suggested to US the invasion
Of their territory and the robbery Of Their
banks and iewelry stores. We may profit
by the suggestion, So far as the inyasion
| goes--for that will enable us to restore
them to their normal condition Of yassal-
age, and teach them that cap-in-hand i.
the proper attitude Of the servant before
his master. A cock for sailor, goose
for soldier--a Yankee for a gentleman
images incongruous and unnatural.

VINO IS GIN. HEERoE THE question
is finally answered by Boston correspon-
dent Of the New York Tribune. General
PIERCE was lately militia Colonel, living
in Bristol county; he went at the head Of
his regiment in answer to the call Of Gov
eminent; and when Gen. Butler was pro
NOTED, he was named by Coy. Andrew to
take his place. The General has been con
siderea good man at home; but his mil
itary capacity has all along been doubted.
We hope, for the sake of the unfortunate
man, that a further examination Of his case
viii relieve him Of the odium with which
he has been visited.

A story il in circulation throughout the
Fourteenth and fifteenth Wards, which, if
,true-and there arc many vouchers for i
makes ont an exceedingly romantic incl
dent Of the war. Ii Is said that about six
or seyen weeks AGO. inst when the young
men Of these two Wards were att fever heat
under the stirring caIl ofCapt. Abel Smith
for a company ofyolunteers, young lady
living ia bouith Second Maggie VII
son by name, and about eighteen years Ct
age, was suddenly missing. Her tr.enls
and relatives (sbe was an orphan made
search for her in every possible manner,
but finally gave her mp as drowned or
spirited away. Captain Smith succeeded
in raising bis company, as every one knows,
and aftera short stay in this city took them
to Albany, where they were mustered into
the Sd Regiment, under command Of Col.
Townsend, In the company was one
Charley Marshal, a fair-hairod, delicate
yonng man, who talked less, eat less, play
ed less, and was more retiring generally
than any other Of the company.
His modest manner won the esteem Of
the whole company, and particularly IN
gratiated him in his commanders good
graces. But, the story goes, this delicate
young imam was discovered BY Capt. Smith,
few days since, to be young lady IN
disguise. How the revelation was made,
the story states not; but the Captain ard
0 her officers were mao 4 surprised thereat,

TO take in the matter It was thought
proper to send '.Chmley" home; but this
it was decided not to do upon his urgent
and fearful protestaton to be allowed toac-
company them in any capacity. 1t was
finally concluded to attach her to the regi-
ment as Yiyandiere, and as such she is
with them now. A letter from one Of tbs
company has been handed TO US, written
on Monday before they left the Battery
from which we make the following extraei
relative 10 this matter:
"Perbaps you remember young fellow
in our company who went be the name d
CHARLEY Marshal, shy and retiring good
looking chap, who seemed to lie made q
finer stuff than tjle rest Of us fellows. Bat
he worked into the GOOD graces of Capt
Abel, without getting any Of the boys
down on him, So We let Ai'n have his way
Well, this chap turns on 70 bea girInamed

time our company was formed. How the
discovery Of her sex was made | have not
ben able to learn; bat yesterday know
she Was doing duty 10 the ranks in the
same clothes as / was, and in a manner
equal TO the best Of us. And this morning
in different raiment (and much pleftier
one.) she was introduced to the regment
as Charley The Yiyandiere, ana we were
asked if we should adopt her. You can
bet there was no dissenting VOICE, and we
all like "Charley" in her new character much
better than We did before. How Che thing
has been managed since she commenced
's:.sogering" l can't say; but will endeayol
TO find out, and let you know more about
it at some future time. "-Broohlyn

Bg~ During the civil war in England,
between the Royalists ana the Common
wealth, II was said by Ludlow to Cron-
well; "King Charles soldiers ale gentle
men and men Of honor; we cannot beat
them" "Ihen,0 said The Professor, Il will
set men Of religion against his men of hor-
ror" The result is ia history, and this his
tory is to be reproduced in the mad war
commenced by the Cotton States. They,
too, assume the inyinciblity Of men Of hon
ner;" but The Commonwealth they assail
viii set men Of principle against these straw
menof honor. The student Of history will
remember that the brilliant but temporary
success Of Prince Rnpert's cavaliers, ID tie
capture Of Bristol, was followed soon after
BY their disastrous defeat and fight at Mar

Praying and Paying Soldiers.

A letter from lady in Washington
contains the following:
'9There IS 4 story told by one Of the New
York Seventh, that no one can listen to
without tears and a glow Of pride in our
New England so.die.s. He says: "While
encamped in Maryland, | wandered off one
day and came up to a farmhouse, where
saw party Of those Massachusetts fellows
well, no, they were Rhode Isl.snd boys,
but it's all the same-taiking with wo-
man who was greatly frightened. They
tied IA VAN to quiet her apprehensions.
They asked for food and she cried, 20,
take all have, take everything, but spare
my sick husband oh, said one Of the
men, we amt going to hurt you, we want
something to eat The woman persisted
in being frightened in spite of all efforts to
reassure her, and hurried whatever food
She had on the table But when she saw
this company stand about the table with
barred heads, and tall, gaunt man raise
his hand and invoke Gods blessing on the
bounties spread before them, the poor wo-
man broke down with fit Of sobbing and
crying. She had no longer any fears, but
bid them wait and in few minutes had
made them hot coffee III abundance. She
then emptied their canteens of the muddy
water they contained and filed them with
coffee. Her establishment increased when
they insisted upon paying her." The lieu
tenant tells this with great expression.
Said she, "Iheir asking blessing took me
By surprise, and when | saw this felt that
our country was safe with such men to fight
for t."

REThe following from the Charleston
Mercury, IS a good specimen Of Southern
fanting. We venture the assertion that
The article is from the pen Of a Northern
born rebel:
"DrMoNtAo FIoYLrNos." The howlings
Of the beast sufficiently betray his parts
Those Of the Northern press especially the
philanthropists, are absolutely hellsh-
They roar like devils and they rage ike
wolves. They begin to feel the truth, in
the terrible experience Of loss and ruin, Of
the thousand warnings which we gave them
long ago. We said to them, sXou grin
and lceg and jibber now-but yon will soon
howl in desperation :
Nothing, surely, can be more fiendish
than the hate they show; nothing more
fediaulous than The vengeance they threat
en-. Such barking dogs Their gums
seoreto venom enough, Lut their teeth are
drawn!
But the ihunders Of the press have no
bolts in them. The sensational paragraphs
Of the telegraph are windywordy, wishy
washy, blaiher-skitings They can have
10 effect upon the South, bun to make our
people frm-make them set their teeth

Ey A Montgomery correspondent Of the
Savannah Republican, gives the following
gloomy exhibit of the financial condition
and prospect Of the Confederate reyolted
States:
: It feared that he blockade Of Lincoln
will seriously diIGnish the revenue, unless
speedily raised, ana if not, the Government
will have to resort to direct taxation, in or
dor to provide for its support. The plan
will prove acceptable to The people, and
vii; be more effective than mere Deepen
denee upon an uncertain income. Some
6ne has suggested, though not officially,
che project Of levying . tax Of four per
cent. upon slaves; but considering the av-
GRACE Value Of the slaves at present 70 four
hundred dollars, the income will not exceed
thirty-six millions. The Secretary Of War
clone estimates for thirty-llye millions, ana
It IS probable that at least one hundred
will Be needed for disbu ssement this yeaf
We NAV, therefore, ooniilentlg expect q
system Of direct taxation, in case any neon
venience i experienced in collecting Of lAe
custom revenue. The tariff viii u rcduc-
ed e an exceedingly low figure, and will
expose By is action the monstrocities Of its
colleague, tie Morrill, tariff.
