The " Little Villain" of the N. Yorl

following:
The ~peculiarities of the peopl,
Of the ULi:ed. States were neveI
more strikingly illuslaated than in th,
progress of the present war. We ar.
always on the highest pinnacle Of hope
or in the lowest depths Of despair. Fo,

Of tie Union. We had confidence in

The early victories in Western Virgin.

and desicive leaders, seemed to sustain
the compliment theory Of the sapguine
Unionists. We rose Of mornings only
to read Of further victories, and to won
der whether. after all, JEFF Davis would
venture to come with bis rebel Congress
to so unsafe q place a. Richmond. And
when We found that a step indicating
so much hardihood bad been taken, we
had perhaps a mingled feeling Of surprise
and pleasure, 80 sure we're we of their
capture.
We rode a high horse 10 those days,
and compelled the rebels, in imagioa-
ton to 60 on foot. Our babitual thought
Of them was, that in due time, they
should all be hanged. And 80 we con-
tiuued, down to that foe day, all so
confident, On to Richmond" and fett b.
up SO uneasiIy at Bull Run.
Since that Inflated day, the very beav-

BY the Secretary Of the Treasury, Hon.
@. c. Asmmiuger, calling for loans to
the Confederacy in the way Of provis-
ions, etc., for which Confederate bonds
bearing eight per cent. interest will be
issued. We have been unable to learn
what quantities Of sugar and molasses
have been subscribed to the loan iu 9th
er parishes, but We lave subscriptions in
this parish Of 2lo5 hogsheads Of sugar
and 27sl barrels Of molasses, without
some fifteen or sixteen of our wealthiest
having contributed. .
It would not be a bad plan, however,
for the sugar planters Of the State to
forward to Richmond, as soou as made.

the same quantity Of molasses as a dom
alton, or as an instalment upon their

either way, will much sooner relieve the
neces"ities Of our soldiers than to wait
until the entire crop is made. It could
also be made the duty Of the committee
appointed BY the Csnfederacy to receive
subscriptions in each parish, to attend
the collection of such instaIments, and
o Immediately forward them.
If the sugar planters will only sub

Many of our planters. says the Ban.
"er, { parish Of St. Mary) have already
made up their minds to plant considera.
bic amounts Of cotton another yea,. and
to reduce their sugar crop in proportion.
That is a capital idea. If the aggregate
crop Of sugar in this State were reduced
one-tbird, it is quite probable i. would
yield them as much as q full crop would.
And the cotton that could be made bv
one-tbird of their eethe force would be
so much clear gain. The seed for tbi.
purpose a be easily obtained, a small
gin house, press, and cotton gin need
not cost over twelve or fifteen hundred
dollars ; and there are many overseers
and planters on sugar estates who have
had valuable experience in making and
cotton. Planters ought now to
begin to discuss this question freely, and
prepare 10 season for the change.

List OF Traitors.

We would request that some good loyal
citizen in each town, prepare a list of
all persons in such place, who advocate the
cause of the traitors There are but few
of them, it is irup. bnt what few there are,
should be marncd. Whatever shall be the
result of the present war, whether the I'm
ion is preserved or divided, the men who
viii be detestrd and shunned for all ccming
time. are the traitors in The North, who SYM
pathize with the South fnd ,ioice il the
defeat and slaughter OF our soldiers. Let
all such be marked most emphatically. No
one will complain or object 10 this, save
those in sympathy with Southern treason.
At Bridgeport, Connecticut about fifty Of
these northern traitors met at place 10
drink champagne and have jolliicaiion
over our defeat at Bull Run, whercupon the
loyal men Immediately procured railroad
engine lamp, and hung ii in the street SO
that the focus Of itspower(ul light shone di
ing. So ashamed did these men become.
that they broke up their meeting, and sought
egress from hack doors where it was posi-
bic, while the names of all who appeared
in the light were taken and carefully pre-
served. There viii not be another meeting
cf that kind in Bridgeport
Now let some one prepare list Of these
traitors in all the towns of Wirdham and
Windsor counties. And in order to make
thorough work, and to prevent injustice
the name Of each traitor should be accom-.
panied with the names Of two or more per,
sons of truth and vcracity who have heard
him utter reasonable sentiments. and also
give the language uttered, as nearly as pos
sible. We do not of course propose 10 pub
fish the names of witnesses, nor even the
names of the traitors, at present, but they
should be preserved for the benefit Of his
tory and the future.
When a list is prepared, forward it tc
This office, and also preserve a copy in the
place where il is made. We address these
words TO no party, but to all loyal citizens
who are opposed TO treason and in favor Of
preserving the government. The disaster
at Bull Run has been good thing in smok-
ing out treason at the north. They have
their heads, ard now is the time to spot
them. There is no neutrality. He who is
not for his country and its government, is
against it. Send in The returns"
