BEHIND THE ScENEs.@An occasional copy
of a Southern journal finds its way North,
By which We are enabled 10 mark the sue
cess of the contemplated cotton loap.n A
late number of the Aberdeen {Miss,) Con-
seryative, gives the result Of meeting held
in that town, for the purpose of subscribing
to the loan. The Conservative says:
The meeting was gsry large and esthaist-
astie, consisting Of about ftesD AaeH--aH told.
We regret that sickness prevented our be-
ing present, but we have been told that the
eaornaoaeS amount of-shall we tell it Twill
not every citizen, true to the South, pos
sessine even the least apark of patriotism,
blush for shame for old Monroe county,
that makes fall forty thousand bales Of cot
ton per annum, that her planters exhibit
such picayunish principle that they will
not loan even the one-fortieth part of her
bountiful yield to this noble causeP It
Is true, though we blush to say it, that only
eight hundred bales of cotton were given in
the purchase of Confederate bonds.
The Conservative follows in an article of
great length, deprecating the Iukewarm-
ness of the planters and people of Monroe,
and charging that they care nothing whath-
et the Confederate army IS victorious OF de-
feated 1t says to them
You have proved yourselves to be penu9i-
ous close JJfstea ShyLocks, who place higher
value upon the almighty dollar than you
do upon your country or God.
The Aberdeen paper says:
Yes, it is actually q shame and disgrace
to g Old Monroe" that it should be said
that her wealthy planters, men of influence
and wealth, viii stand by and see her coun-
try and her soldiers, who have gone forth
70 fight her battles, suffer for want of their
pec0niary assistance, while they cooliy place
their gold in their monied vaults, boarded
there for what purpose To assist the
country when il needs it more than it now
does2 mol But to purchase the property
Of the poor man and soldier, who has gone
forth, sacrificing all comforts and pleasures
enduring the hardest UI shardships, and If
need be, to die fighting Tor the COED of his
country, and to protect your property, while
you hoard your gold for the purpose of pur-
chasing the property Of these poor men,
when it is sold under the hammer Of thu Of
fcer, al price not over one-tenth it's value.
We have heard of numbers of you public
~ avowing this much on the streets. It is
shame aud edisgrace, and such men are
unworthy the u4ulb Oh OOutuEEA u4cus' lucy
have no patriotism, and they dare not deny
it. Neither can the fact be concealed, no
matter how much they profess to the con-
trary, that they have net the good of their
country at heart.
Gentlemen planters. We have already
spread this article to greater length than
we intended, but in conclusion we viii say,
that it is our intention, gt-sotne future day,
to publish the n4n mes of eFefy2 planter In
this county who gives bale' of cotton to
this noble cause, together wita the amount
of his annual income; and in the opposite
column, under the head of Black List we
shall publish the name of every, piarter in
the county " no does not give 70 is, together
With the amount Of his annual income, and
shall keep said article standilg from week
to week, thus holding them up to the just
scorn and Indignation Of asdlsgraced COM
munity.
From all this, tits exident that il the
| planters will not voluntarily. consent to give
their crops TO the Davis government, they
are to be driven sO-ir by threats aai intiInI-
dalton. a. s
