NORTHERN GIRLS.
HY ". p.


Let Eastern olimes boast brighter skies,
And maids Of Georgian birth;
They can't compare with Northern girls,
In beauty, wit, and worth.
Their hearts are free az mountain breeze
That dalhes with their eurls;
And wanton wave the tresses rich
OF our free Northern girlsi
On every sloping, green hillside,
Their graceful forms are straying,
Like Artimis on Cynthss' slopes,
With wood-nimphs round hers playing.
And in our meadows and our groves
The sprightly, elfin creatures
Are sporting, hike Oresdes,
With sylph-hke forms and features.
Within the depths of each bright eye
A roguish light is lying;
And on each blooming, ruddy cheek.
The rose and lilly yielng.
As sports the glaneing sunbeams on
The dancing, cleaning water,
So play the smiles on ruby lips
OF each free Northern daughter.
Ny love Of Natures varied scenes
All other love surpasses,
Except my love for pretty girls
Northern's far bonnie lasses,
Who bloom within our Northern homes,
Our hesrths their presence lighting;
Anon, their troth to sueing wights
At Hyman's altar plighting.

re- Those who think that Great
Britain would go to war with this
country for any trivial cause should
fecoIleet that in losing our trade she
would lose two-fifths Of her exnorts
our breadstufs and provisions, as well
as our cotton and the twenty-three mill
hons OF revenue she derives from our
tobacco principally. While her revenue
would be reduced one half, her expendi-
lures would be quadrupled, and she
could not at the same time paw one
hundred and thirty millions as the in
terest on her public debt and support
her Government and war expenses
Her industry would be paralyzed, her
operatives starved, and q revolution for
bread would assuredly ensue.-Lou.

A REBEL's LETTER TO HIS WIFE,
The following letter was captured at
Pikeville, KY, by A. l. Rodgers, OF
Ironton, who is a member of Col. Silps
EOhio SD regiment:
ABINGDON, Va, Oct. 2, 1861. s
Mr. DEAR WIFE:--With modification
more than ! can express, l write from
this point. 1 have left you and our
children in the land Of the Despot; but
God grant that I may soon be able to
make the Union men of Kentucky feel
the edge Of my knife. From this day,
I hold every Union traitor as my
enemy, and from him l scorn to re-
ceiye quarter, and to him l will never
grant any, save in death, for they are
coWdrds and villains enough.
Brother Henry and / arrived here
without hindrance. l have had chills
all the way, but l hope to live to kill
forty Yankees for every chill ever
had. saa E1
learn that Hardee is still on the
Arkansas line, inactive, and if this
proves to be true l will tender my
resignation, and go Immediately to
Kentucky. God only knows whether
we will ever meet again. ~
I know that you will be faithful
and affectionate wife, and l hope l will
do my duty as a REBEL and a FREEMAN.
Since l have seen the Union men Of
Kentucky. 1 intend to begin the work
of murder in earnest, and if ever l
spare one of them. may hell be my
portion forever. II we%ere together
at our little home, 1 would be happy
and quiet; but as it is, l want TO see
Union blood flow deep enough for my
horse to swim in. hope that you
will not receive any protection at the
hands OF Peter Flood, during your cap
livity IN Kentucky. l will come again
sooner than be thinks, and perhaps be-
fore, or at a time when you do not
expect me. Did you ride out with
him the day l left? or DID You COME
OUT TO MRs. IS? One request
and am done. Write that Henry is
here, and we will start for Memphis to-
merrow. .
must ask you to kiss my dear boys
for me. 1 hope to have them with me
soon.
Your husband, .
JAMES BRADBURN.
