NoTE.---D Democratic politicians and presses

ever they have strength enough to make success
at all probable, they are adhering to their or

not only for the next year, but in oil coming

losing no opportunity, or occasion, to put men

The Way the South are made Unanimou

The Way the South are made unanimous
Mr. Russell, the correspondent of the Lon
don Times, in his letter from New Orleans,
May 9th, says:
Oar American " brethren in arms have yet
to learn the great law in military cookery, that
$ if they want to make omelets they must
break eggs The g moral suasion - of the Jas
50, of Notwithstanding, ducking, kicking, and
such processes, are, suspect, used not unfre-
quently to stimulate volunteers and the extent
to which the acts of the recruiting officer are
somewhat aided by the arm Of the law, and
the force of the policeman and the magistrate,
may be seen from paragraphs in the morning
papers now and then, to The effect that certain
gentlemen Of Milesian extraction, who might
have been engaged in pugiistic pursuits, were
discharged from custody unpunished, on condi-
ton that they enlisted in the war.
With the peculiar views entertained OF free
dom Of opinion and action by large classes Of
people on this contin mt, such q mode OF OBJ
tanning volunteers is very natural, but a resort
to it evinces a want OF zeal on the part of some
of the fifty thousand who are on the rolls and,
from all can hear-and | have asked hume
rous persons likely to be acquainted with
the sub ect-thcrc are not more than those
Is, 900 men of whom | have spoken in all
the State under arms, or in training, of
whom a considerable proportion will be needed
for garrison and coast defense duties.
|, may be that the Northern States and North
ern sentiments are as violent as those of the
South, but see some evidences to the contrary.
For instance, in New YORK, ladies and gentle
men from the South are permitted to live at
their favori,e hotel without molestation, and
one hotel keeper at Saratoga Springs advertses
openly for the custom Of his Southern patrons.
In no city of the South which l have visited
would a party of Northern people be permitted
to remain for an hour If the " citizens - were
aware of their presence. 1t is Imaginable to
hear men speaking of the " unanimity of the
South. just look at the peculiar means by
which unanmity is enforced and secured.

At hisresidence near Huntsville Randolph Co,
Ind, NATHAN c. LAMB, aged S. years, 9 mo-,
Is days.
Thus the continuous current OF Time that hur-
richly passes on, fulfilling the dispensation of
Omnipotence, hath given a pail such as
naught but death can give. The deceased was
among the early settlers of the county and has
long been exemplary citizen; and now, that
he is gone, will be much missed amid the circle
Of friends and neighbors with whom he was as
sociated. The most distinguishing trait OF his
character was the frmness with which he op :
posed the prevalent evils Of society and his dis
interestedness lie songh, no distinction of i'm
portance among his fellow men. but his chief
concern was TO follow the injunction Of the Apos
tie in providing for his own house. His manner
with the Young was ever ocular, yet his CONVEX
sation was always orderded in the direction
that condemned, in the most bitter manner every
immortality. But, alas; il is vain TO reiterats
the virtues Of the Departed; only let US strive
to cultivate the virtues that they in life recon-
mend. His funeralw was discoursed by Rev. VIM
Bowen He has left faithful companion, and
an affectiona,e son and daughter, within the
family circle, and many relations, and sympsthz
ing friends and neighbors TO mourn their irrepar-
able loss

his untiring industry and vigilance. " General
Scott has left his house, and taken up day and
night quarters at his office He is feeble in
body, but very clear, comprehensive and active
IN mind. Visiting him at near midnight, he was
sitting in plain, hard bed, in a very plain room
with but two candles on a center table near, and
two ofhi aids near him in waiting. Dispatches
arrived almost every hour, night and day, borne
by videttcs from every quarter of the district,
and BY officers beyond the line. He demands
the fullest information of every body, and be-
fore the New York troops arrived, declared he
was prepared for an attack of 10000 men by
Virginia or Maryland, if they invaded the Cap
tal. His great anxiety, grief and doubt have
been the disaHfected citizens in the District o.
Columbia, scores ofwhom have left homes, but
many of whom even now remain; but all are
known and watched with a lynxeyei vigilance
