A CORRESPONDENT of the New York Times
writes from southwest Missouri as follows
under date of March 7th:
We passed melancholy sight-a wagon
filed with ernigrants, and all their worldly
goods. By the side trudged little barefoot
ed fellow, ragged and dirty. My companion
said to him, "WeIl, my little man, where do
you live?" He sadly answered, Owe don't live
nolrAere only in a 1caggiri We met another
party on horseback. One OF them told us
ow his house had been attacked in the night
by a gang OF marauding secessionists, aud how
he had made one of them bite the dust, with a
bullet, which, said he, "took him spat between
the shoulders" Such things are common
War has developed the wickedness of men,
and festered all their evil passions. Men swear
and lie and steal and kill, who were never
guilty of such acts before. The Sabbath seems
utterly disregarded The churches and schools
are closed, and the devil seems to reign su-
preme A Christian man, who retains his
religion, is worthy of all honor; or, rather, his
thanks are to that Divine grace which could
alone preserve him. We reached Springfield
on Saturday. In some ofthe houses the win
dows are all broken, doors have been smashed
and the floors and walls are covered with filth
and grease. Many of the yards have been
used for keeping horses, and the young fruit
trees are completely barked. The grove has
been cut down for frewood

cy, all hopes ofa future Union and reconstruct
ion may be destroyed"
A chap who was democrat, suddenly
famed up at this, and says he:
"The abolitionists caused this terrible war,
and it is our business, as no-party men, to fin
ish it Constitutionally. If we iritate this
man, no power on earth will ever make him
submit to reconstruction. Ask him"
Here the democratic chap took large taste
of tobacco, and sighed for his country.
"Mr. Davis" says Samyule to the Conted-
eracy at the window, "if we do not irritate
you, will you consent to be reconstructed?
Reconstructed" says the Confederacy,
thoughtfully; reconstructed! Ali" says he,
ayou mean, VIII I consent to be borne again?"
dyes" says Samyule, metaphysically, "will
you consent to be born again, as we have
borne with you heretofore?"
The confederacy thought while, and then
says he:
Consider me reconstructed"
As that was all the Constitution asked Of
course there was no more to be done, and the
Orange County Howitzes returned to their or
iginal position in the nire, the Englishmen
remarking the appearance and discipline of
our troops were satisfactorily to Albion.
Fighting according to the Constitution, my
boy, is such an admirable way of preventing
carnage, that some doctor ought to take out a
patent for it.as cheap medicine.

captain in the rebel army:
TAPPAHANNoCK, March 81, 1862.-Dear-:
I did not receive your letter Of the 11th ult.,
until about the 28th, and then I was lying on
a bed Of sickness, at camp. Our company
has for the last four or five months done the
duty of three companies. We now have a
line Of vidette eouriers from the lower end Of
Middlesex to Fredericksburg, a distance ofone
hundred miles; besides we have three posts at
Urbana, and piolzets twelve miles belOw-the
place on earth. All me, we have seen
the very devil since October.
I, through mistake, directed your letter
to Fredericksburg, and there it is--a real jaw
buster
Your internal, cowardly army are continu-
ally backing, backing, and backing down"
until, by, I believe you will not stop short
of the territory line, and there, you will oapit-
uIate. 1 never know where to write to. I
reckon Richmond is the safest place andsurest
direction for all letters now. When will your
brigade reach Richmond? But in earnest,
where does the army of Manassas expect to
make final stand2 firmly believe Virginia
and Tennessee are to be given up without any
effort Of defense. Judge, I am disguised with

Coz, GIBSON, of the Forty-ninth Ohio, says
the GAINESVILLE Press, recently wrote letter
from Tennessee, which is attracting some no.
tice. Col. Gibson will be recollected as the
Republican successor to BresHn as State Treas

the slaves, as observed by himself:
In this region every one owns one or more
slaves. Here as elsewhere, where I have been
the slaves are well treated and well provided
for. They appear happier and certainly live
and dress better than the poor whites or the
free negroes of Ohio or the North. They all
supposed we were about to liberate them
This lie had been Jrumpeted in the South and
hundreds Of honest people, aside from slaves
believed it. But the negro here instinclively
breads the North. They love the South and
are devoted to their masters.

between exied masters, returned to their
homes, and their faithful slaves It's strange

I have been connected since last September.

A MANNERLY YOUTH.-Last week the
"Crabtown " DOrcas Sewing Society held their
annual meeting and on motion it was voted
"That our Parson wait on Tony Jones, and
see if nothing can be done to improve the

The next day the Parson called upon Tony,

his visit, to which he replied
"Parson, I'd let Tony go to meotin' every

But, Parson there aint boy in the village of
Crabtown what's got more manners than my

The Parson nodded assent.
"Now, see, III cali him" And raising his
voice to the highest pitch, he shouted
"To-o-o-n-y
The response was quick aud equally loud.
"Sir?"
"Do you hear that, Parson ?" said the man.
"Don't ye call that manners ?"
That is all very well, " replied the Parson,
so far as it goes
"What do you mean by far as it goesl"
That boy, sir, always speaks respectfully to

he again called

The Parson was astonished. The old man
was disconnected for a moment but instantly

the shoulder, saying
"You see, Parson, my boy has got grit as
