The Richmond Examiner of Decembel
ls, has an article which is instructive
showing us bow the gentlemen and ladies
Of Secesh feel toward those of the North
who sympathize with their cause. We
copy portion of i;:-"Tbe South is over
run With UenomoaS Yankees, who With
their heart bate us and our institutions
Thauks, in part, to our government at
Richmond Even 10 that very govern
ment there is said to be Northern man
high 10 power and position. Our army
likewise is blessed with seseral generals
from the North. Is not this monstrous!
Distinguished Southern officers, carrying
about their persons deep scars received
in numerous battle fields, have been over
slsused or overlooked to make room for
Yankees, some of whom we're clingiDg to
the Lincoln hulk when the great victory
at Manassas vas achieved; and then, aud
not till then, with characteristic shrewd-
ness, they we're led TO connect their for
tunes With the triumphant South. Who
will undertake to count the number of
Yankee clerks in the several public de-
partments at Richmond. Unquestiopably
the young men of the South have a right
TO complain OF the preference thus shown
TO Northern t0adseS. 1t is certainly mis-
chesous IN its tendency. Yet. the clsius
OF our Southern born youth are too often
iguored, il Dot secuted, and imgadent
adventurers (uearly all claiming now to
be Mary flanders. and acting, too. no
doubt, in the double capacity of spieS a.
we'll as clerks) are receiving salaries
which brave Southerners would be glad
to get believe there is no exageera
tion iu these statements, and bat they are
all true. They are certainly great evils,
of which the people of the South should
demand the instant abatement, 1t mag
be pretended as exteDuatlug Of the prac-
of admitting Northern mep to Gil honor
able positions iD the Confed deracy that We
trusted foreigners in our seven years
struggle for independence. 1t is. howev
er, easy to destroy the force Of this charge
by siuPly responding that the foreigners

Under tempting offers several Northern
officers bave declared themselves on the
side Of the South in the existing contest
and in doing this they have given stroug
proof Of their unwoFthiuess. Under stilI |
greater temptations, who will not say they
might abandon our cause. and 90 back to
their first Lowell 1t seems to me clear thst
