The rufian hordes gathered from the
bar-rooms and cutters of the North, and
about to be precipitated upon our homes
and firesides, are very appropriately officer
ed. No other civilized country in the
world would admit into its armies as Gene
rails and Colonels such characters as those
we name below. The fact shows to what
an extent the North is demoralized and
how little honor, character and decency is
priced by the people who have elected a
vulgar ignoramus as their Chief Magistrate.
The following are some of the Northern
captains, and there are plenty more like
them:

tician who was detected in dishonest trick
at the Charleston Democratic Convention.

was mute. 1t is reported that he was dis
gracefully intoxicated most of the time he
commanded in Baltimore. If he has any
military knowledge, be must have picked
it up while training the Massachusetts, mi

mand his recall.

alrous gentleman who wiuked at the dis
grace of his wife and his own dishonor,

pot.house politician, supported for years by

up, more or less, in numerous disreputable
transactions.
