and that without truce or compromise and that when
ever you can reach us and that until the field is en-
tirely wont For my part, sir, would gladly shun
that battle; gladly give my blood to arrest it II It
were begun But there mingles with this profound
dread OF shedding my brothers blood not one ap-
prehenSion of the result of the conflict. For who
ever lives to see that battle fought, will see one
more example added to the multitude which already
crowd the annals of mankind, that they who boast
themselves when they grid their harness on, are apt
enough to wall when they come to put it OIL
So much for Dr. Breckenridge when he writes as
a Southern man. But read the following extract OF
a sermon lately preached by him to the Lincoln
soldiers at Camp Dick Robinson in Kentucky.
Can he be the same man, or has he, under the
binding influence of Lincolnism, become maniac?
In that sermon it is said he made Uerbdti, the fol-
lowing declarations:
~ have never believed in the doctrine of Purga-
tory and have all my life fought against it; among
other reasons, | have declared that in the whole
grand sweep of Gods moral government, would
find NJ place to locate it and if place could be
found saw no necessity for 1t, with the tull pro-
visions for redemption made in the Redeemer Christ.
But if there ever was a time when such PLdce was
needed it is hOu, for q man occupying the stand
point which do the conclusion forces ITSELF unbld
den albeit upon the mind, that there are many men
who deserve not to be saved and are not worth
claiming. Such are that class of KeRtuckIans who
would still wish to remain neutral when our State
has been invaded by marauGing soldiery from Ten
neSsee They refuse to offer their lives for the per
petuity of the country and the putting down Of the
rebellion, and so show themselves unworthy of
nations blessing. They take so feeble part in the
rebellion that they hardly deserve the public notice
OF nations meditation. But hope there is not
soldier in this vast assemblage whose heart is not
nervcd to the same high purpose Of my own-that
this rebellion shall be put down, it matters not at
what expenditure of money, what sacrifice of the
blood rebels or their wives or chdren-the Gov
ernment is worth it all and worth more"

DIVISIONS IN DISTINGUISHED FANILrEs.-Col. Rich
ard Taylor, the son of ex-Presidcnt Taylor, holds
an important commission in the Confederate Army
Col TAYLOR the brother of ex-President Taylor, is
in active service in the Lincoln Army.
Col George B. Crittenden, (son of John j. Crit
tenden, of Kentucky) is in the service of the Con-
federate States, and his brother Col. Thomas L.
Crittenden, is a commander in the Lincoln Army
They are probably destined to service in the same
State, under opposite banners.
Col. Philip St George Cooke retains his position
in the Northern Army, and the Washington Star
says he will be assigned to duty in Virginia, in the
very locality of his birth. The same paper says
that one Of his and two sons-inlaw are soldiers
in the Southern Army. To which we may add, the
nephews of Col Cooke and his relatives, without
exception, so far as are advised, are true and
faithful to the land of their birth. John Esten
Cooke, Ia nephew of Col. Cocke,) the well known
Virginia author exchanged the pen of The novelist
the historian, and the bographer at the beginning
Of the war for the musket of the Confederate soldier
Col. Anderson, of Sumter notoriety, married a
Southern lady, whose brothers, several in number,
are all in the Confederate service
These are some of the family differences produc-
ed by the changed relations between the North and
the South. 1t needs prophet to foretel that the
present position of the Lncolnites of Southern birth
will be a subject Of annoyance IN future to them
selves and to their descendants to the most distant
generation.-Rich Eng. So"

HoN. r. NJ L. HUNTER OF VIRGINIA.-NO one ap-
precIates more highly than do the valuable SER
vices of this distinguished Virginian in the impor
tant office of Secretary of State to which he has
been called by President Davis. Nor do we pro-
pose to dictate to the people Of Virginia what they
should do in the selection Of their representatives
But the whole country has an interes: in the
cess Of the First Congress to meet under perma
nent constitution and we doubt not that others
have been painfully impressed, we have, with the
fear that there will be absent from the halls of Con-
gress that experience in the legislative department
which is so essential to the successful operations of
a new Government In noticing the names of the
distinguished men who have been brought forward
for Congress- have been struck with the fact that
they are, almost all of them, new and inexperienced
men--few of any Of those who have borne promi-
nent part in the national councils to be found
among the members 1t is this circumstance which
leads us to bring before the public the name of Mr.
Hunter He has been for many years the leading
business man of the Senate of the United States
Combining with the highest order Of craftsmanship,
perfect familiarity with all the details of public af.
fairs, he had made himself a necessity in the old
Senate We know of no man who will be so much
missed from the old Senate and we know of no one
whose presence would be so desirable in the new
Senate 1t is not our purpose to speak in detail OF
Mr.. Hunter as Senator and public man. Our
object is simply to call the attention of our friends
in Virginia to the facts that have stated and 10
give il calm and deliberate opinion that Vir.
GINA owes 1t to the Confederate States to give them
the benefit of Mr. Hunters services in the FIRST Sen.
ate to assemble under our permanent Constitution.
We will make no apology for thus intruding our
opinions upon our brethren Of another State. Every
one must see that nothing but the public good would
have dictated this article and that certainly is our
ample justfcat:on.-Athens (Ga.) South. Banner

hope | may Ge pardeaed continued MIR. Ach.,
for abiding to another thing, which, though not IN
tuately connected with the objects Of the C"nVeh-
ton, yet feel that il is not altogether improper to
bring before you. If you ask stranger who traV-
els along the railroads in n. Carolina or be content
with the information which Yankee Biographies tHr-
nish YOU Won would believe that all the productions
Of North Carolina tar, pitch and turpentine
Why, sir, North Carolina produces 2O0nOo bales OF
cotton She does not it is true get credit for 'H"'
amount III the estimate of her exports because one
fifth Of what she raises passes through the ports OF
her sister States South Carolina ana Virginia anu
goes to swell their estimates respectively. IheSe
States are welcome to it. for they are gallant anu
coed people and only mention the TACT 10 correct
the impression which is generally entertained IN re-
gard to the productions of my native State. She
has been likened to Rip Van Wrinkle Well, II she
is like him, it must be admitted that when she does
"ake it does not take her long to accomplish what
she undertakes.
But, sir, did not intend to occupy the time that
is due TO our deliberations. These deliberations
should be marked by calm performance OF the du-
ties which lie out before us; and do hope that
while our army is engaged in winning for us our
political independence, on our part may be equal
~ as successful in freeing our country from the
Calling bondage of commercial dependence. LOOK,
SIR. at all the battles in which We have been cn2a-
ged-at Bethel at Manass IS, at Oak I'LL, ana at
Springfield and tell me if it is not clear rs the sun
hight Of heaven that the hand Of Him who ruleth in
the armies of heaven and dOeth HIS own will among
the inhabitants of EARTH has enabled MS to accom-
lliSh what we have. No of flesh has gained us
our victories; and feel certain that when our arm
les come to meet around that spot where lie the re-
mains uf him whom the Creator made chi!tleSS that
Il nation might call him father, every particle OF
dust in that sacred urn will rise mighty army To
