Still Coming Home--AHatrs NJ W ash1nGten'
The sons OF the South continue to leave the
North and the sinking Government ruled by
the barbarian from the Northwest, and seek
safety and honor at home. First freeing
Themselves from the dishonor OF connection
with the Northern Administration and the
dangers of the malignity and brutality OF the
Northern mob, they next offer themselves 10
their native country, 10 die, II need be, IN l's
defence.
We have heraided from time TO time, these
honorable proofs of patriotic devotion IN 'he
ranks of the Army and the Navy MINER
ous, also, are the instances of similar proois
of generous feeling and feaity in the otheI ue
partments of the Government. ihey h''e

,np,e - MIR. NOISE, who is a native OF
Charleston, and member OF very hlgh'y
res pee table family of that name, rendered ms
services to Virginia to raise q company OF
Mounted Rifiemeu in Tennessee, aud will
leave to-day for the purpose of organizing this
force. The accomplished commander OF our
land forces expressed the highest confidence
in the loyalty of Tennessee 10 the Southern
cause, and in the chivalry of her people.
These gentlemen represent that Il great panic
prevails in Washington among the bar
barians-ru,ers and subjects. LINCOLN is,
they say, in effect, a prisoner in the Federal
City. lie distrusts the men enlis ted to guard
the capial--certainly all the levies of the Dis
trict He fears they will desert rs soon as the
Virginia flag is borne towards the District by
a body of troops strong enough to menace 1t.
Our reliable informant assures us that there
has been feeling of restlessness apparent IL
the faces Of all the District levies since the
battle of the rocks in Baltimore.
They speak of the Northern troops intro
| duced into Washington, as, with some excep
! tons, the most Indifferent and disgustin!
| looking men they ever saw. The Massachu
| sets regiment, especially, We're bad looking
| as they passed through the streets, appearing
| more like men going to be hung than men go
| ing to fight. a correspondent says that on
penitentiary convicts would appear like gen
| tlemen when compared with them. A distin
guished Massachusetts man said, at 4 publ
| table, that they were roughs and German EN-
| igrants, and that there WIS not a gentlema
amongst them. Such is the riff our nc
BILE Southern men must fight.
We learn that the public buildings are a
strongly guarded, some of the most importar
barricaded-the Capitol occupied by numbe
of the most uncouth of the savages, wh'
| among other dissertations, have a COOKIE
| stove In operation in the Senate Chamber
The White House is in the guardianship {
such angels of the Black Republican heaVe

| cut-throat with a body of his Kansas ru
fans. With these protec tors, Mrs LINCOLN an
little Boz O'LINCoLN sleep tolerably soundl

, bandits to whom they are allied. But Il
Old Ape, it is said, dare not trust himse
even with such guardians. He sleeps
houses of friends-moving from one TO II
pirate haunted by the phantasmagoria OF b
own cowardly imagination.
, 1t is said that the Cloths and vandals of Il
3 Federal City are determined that II sha

1: | that pursuing their ruthless barbarism whiC
fired the Navy. Yard, they will blow up t
D grand temples of the late Union. We
| we don't know that this would be

1 use. for the Southern Confederacy will har

J. the Government that built 1t. Better so TIL
!. it should stand as a memento of 4 thing
