THE SOUTHERN CAVALRY.
What strikes one most is the cavalry which Is very
nnmcrous. admirably mounted and composed Of superb
men II is plain nj the first glance that these men are
tho sons Of farmers and landowners that their horses are
their own, eud that they are accustomed if not to arms,
dcs nothing is more picturesque than these South.

THE SPIRIT OF BOTH ARMIES.
Il is incontestabie that there is much more passion and
ardor among the officers OF the Southern than among these
81 the Northern army. II Is insisted in the secession
camp That this ardor this dsnerestcd devotion to the
common cause, are shared by tho soldiers that in the
south they serve through honor aud conviction; that
among the cderas the soldier knows no other auremcnt
than pay no other impulse than that OF want-the best
