Southern ssOIdicry-

As has been remarked, here all is appar-
emily peaceful What different picture
is presented at the South Troops ard
munitions of war are conveyed to the sea-
board by every train, and concentrated at
the points of anticipated attack. The mus
ter roll is called in every town and village
of the interior. Shops, farms, pul pits and
newspaper offices, are deserted forthe field.
Doctors, Editors, ex-Congressmcn, State
Senators, Lawyers, Planters, Merchants
and Mechanics, occupy the ranks, many Of
them "a rrivates. One Company at
Charleston is said to have ten divinity stu
dents in its ranks, and TO be Differed by a
Clergyman. Other companies represent
wealth assessed AT one and two millions of
dollars and upwards Old men OF seventy
years buckle on their armOr, aud Join their
eons and grandsons to offer their services
10 the government. Slaves-the same
slaves whom the Abolition plotters of all
our troubles prophcsicd would eagerly rise
against their masters to secure their free
dom-drmand to 90 to the wars and share
the fate of their owners. Those that can
be spared from Tie field, work laboriouslv
in the trenches, and in throwing up sand
batteries. The tears of wives, sisters and
mothers, while they encourage the young
mcq TO heroic achievements, and prayers
follow those who may never return. All
who are old enough TO bear arms, are re-
signedly given up. Many ladies even IN
siot uEon following the fortunes Of those
they love.
With the people Of the South, these are
the stern real!tias Of war, made more terri
bic because il is a civil war. There are
no idle vauntings, but action. Believing
their c',ise just, they are content to suffer
and endure. They are prepared for the
worst that may happen; and the noble
spirit Of patriotism eyinced, may bear Ia
voraLlr comparison with that displayed
throughout the trying Revolution OF II.
Or such material Is the Southern army
composed. When men of high social and
official position, and unaccustomed to hard
ship, volunteer to toll with The shovel and
haul the pondprous machines of warfare.
nothing but an overw hclming force can
crush them. The spirit that peryades all
classes alike, must render them invinciblc
while breath and life remain. They are
no hired mercenarirs who make warfare
trade-who offer their lives as food for
powder" They are worthy of more noble
ioemon than many OF the employed troops
that have been sent against them. If ~

The IRISH AND CoERcIoS. - The =" Iris

The IRISH AND COERCION. - The Irish
News" a very respectable organ of the Irish
population in New York, says:
"There is talk of an army of 60, 900 men, to
be furnished by New York and others of the
border free States, and commanded by Gen.
Scott, for the purpose of putting down South
Carolina and bringing the rest of the Southern
States to order, God protect society from
such stroke of strategy. The united North
could not put down the South. But they who
would put down the South are only 1anau-
cal fragment OF the North; and it is the North
itself which would probably rue the rising Of
such an armament. The torers Of q free fight
all round ,ciH tctsh for such a state Of things.
But we suspect they will not see it. Gen,
Scott is an impulsive man; but he is not crazy.
He would not dare TO advise such an outburst
in the country, and could no more control it
than n child"

THE CLERICAL SUIcIDE.--The suicide OF the
Rev. II. G. Rice, of Eminence, Ky, at Gin
cinnati, has been noticed 1t appears that he
had been twice married, and his second union
was not productive of happiness; an estrange-
ment sprung up between him and his wife,
which induced, on his part, melancholy, and
finally resulted i'll the rash act by W hich he
terminated his existence. The following note
was found on the table in his room at the ho-
tel, directed TO Mayor Bishop:
"Please have my poor body put in a genteel
case ana sent, without molestation, to Emi-
nence, Kentucky, where hope it will be land
