GERS Of the Sixty-ninth speak WIN enthusiasm OF
their contemplated march of vengeance through
the Cumberland Valley. Men in whom the martial
shirt burns with ardor can as will be seen by the
language of the leader, find use for it in this regi
;uient. Men are wanted. "a, ,-ez
Among the innumerable other complaints which
we have against the Yankees, none has annoyed
US SO much as their persistence in the Chinese
mode Of fighting. Every other people on earth ex-
cept Yankees and Chinese believe that war con-
sists in battles, shot, shell, cold steel and bullets
but the Chinese believe it consists in beating gongs
and tomtoms and ringing bells, and the Yankees
believe it consists in terrible threats on paper of
what they are going to do, which, when eentrasted
with the paucity of the performance, sounds ALSO
lutely contemplate and ridiculous. The Yankee
and the Chinese modes of fighting agree on gem
eral principles, differing only in details The prn
cipal object seems to be to Brighten the enemy,
forgetting the fact that battles are decided BY
blows, and not by words and noises. rs
Here we see the Colonel of an Ohio regiment
talking as eoolly about marching to Tennessee
with one thousand men and planting the stars and
stripes upon Johnson's house, as II it were deed
as easily executed as opening and shutting his
eyes. Nobody but natural born fool believes
such thing possible, and yet this military pre-
tender talks about it all over the State of Ohio is.
applauded by admiring listeners, and has his re-
marks graVely and seriously reported in leading
paper. 2 Can the force Of folly further go?" .
So, also, the officers of single regiment
stspeak with enthusiasm of their contemplated
march Of vengeance through the Cumberland val
ley.a Is il not time these people were getting
ashamed of their yain.g glorious boasts? Have they
no recollection of their promise to dine in Rich
mond on the 9TH of July? Have they forgotten
their threat to occupy the whole South in six
months from the commence ment Of the war;, Are
they obliyous Of their repeatedlyeS deter
mination to suppress the rebellion before the
meeting Of their next Congress? Have they not
fed their dnpes on mere words long enough, and is
it not time some few deeds relieved their profess
sions from the charge of being absolute gascon-
ade?
It will be no honor to the South to whip pnsii-
luminous and cowardly enemy, and unless the
Yankees fight more and talk less, they will earn
our contempt and ought to earn their own. A
nation doubling or own in men and resources,
whose performances tally little with their boasts
and promises, ought to be greeted with the deri-
sion of the civilized world. Modesty alone, under
The circumstances, would prompt at least silence,
were it not that modesty, in common with other
good qualities, has long since takenits flight from
Yankee land.5 yi5s4- Id d, sg b .4y p4t }45 e.. !,
