Twenty-Five hundred secession troops have

last week for speaking in behalf of the gen
eral government. The house of Parsun
Brownlow, editor of the Knoxville Wing, is
the only one that keeps up the stars and
stripes. \ few days ago two armed seces-
sionsts went, at 6 o'clock in the morning,
to haul down the stars and stripes. Miss
Brownl)w, brilliant young lady of twenty
three, saw them on the piazza and stepped
out and demanded their business. They re-
piled they had come 10 take down them d-n

said the noble lady; get more men and come

demanded that the flag should be hauled
down, Bot on discovering that the house
was filled with men, armed to the teeth, who
had rather die as dearly as possible than see
their csuntrys flag dishonored, the secession
ISIS retired.

The war feaver has reached the children
The very babes are in arms. Evry street has
its home guard Of juveniles. We saw, the other
day, in Hudson street. a company of six-year
old e Continen alters" in FULL revolutionary rig,
commanded by a young gentleman OF about
four feet high, attired in the uniform OF gen.
eral officer Of Washington's army, and wearing
alnder bis three cooked hat we'll pow dered
wig, with formidable queue. The members
of the company we're all nearly Of the same
height and age, and the gravity wi which
they marched along the sidewalk to the music
of couple OF real drums, would have done hon
or to veterans. The ZouaVe dress is, however
most in vogue with our Lilliputian infantry
Red pants and red caps, with gold tessels, are
in universal request among heroic youths OF
from five to twelve years Of age, and ohers
and sisters find it difficult to supply the de-
mand. We should say, at rough guess, that
Fourteenth street and Fifth Avenu could turn
out to day, nearly two hundred Zouaves OF ten
der years, fully equipped and eager Tor mischief
The uniforms Of many OF these youngsters are
rich and costly, and they may be seen parading
the streets and squares every fine day alter
school hours, very much IN the st yle oil military
children oi larger growth.
1t mnst not be supposed, however, that these
little cadets OF our first families" are whit
more ardent and enthusiastic in their soldlery
than the rough and ragged urchins that run
wild about the streets. This is no silk stocking
movement. The small ganins Of our Rue 81
Antoine have gone into it with all their childish
hearts and souls. One sees them every day IN
the bystreels, mastering by scores, with sticks
for muskets, paper caps or shakos, and cracked
tin pots Tor drums, looking just as happy in
their "lcoped and Widowed raggedness,' - as i
they had been born with silver spoons in their
mouths and formed portion of the world's
gilt gingerbread. :,
Judging from the present bsligerent attitude
of little boys Of every class, we should say that
the military greatness of our country is as ye
in It's infancy.--Mw York Ledger.
