APPEARANCE OF TIE REBELS,

First came the cavalry, " the flower"
"thc chiyalry," the aristocracy Of the South,
spurrcd and mounted like thcknights of old ;
each man in his spirit and person, in his
dauntcss daring, in his insane devotion to
enc idea, repeating the princely crusader OF
the middle ages. They lock what they are,
hieh-lloodc5, high.brcd, infatuated men.
Eylry eye burns and scintilla.eS with pas
sion, and itsycry glitter is the fire Of insanity.
Careless, reckless even Of life, all they value
riSkcd upon a single stake, they ask only to
win or die. Unlike the infaatrv, they z1,sac
what they are fighting for. They will tell
YOU without asking, :" | am fighting for
Southern rights-tor my home, for my mig
gers" Their intercourse with those whom
they consider equals, is marked by lavish
generosity and Il courtly courtesy; bat to in
tc, Tors they are superciliouS, tyrannical, and
often brutal. They hold slave scarcely as
more than beast, yet they rate him higher.
and would choose him as apcrSonal associate
sooner than they would Yankee ."4sr
They accept no pay from their government
for their military service. They furnish their
own equipments, horscs and slaves, and as
fast as their stceas wear out they supply their
places with fresh ones from their distant
plantations or from the farms of Unionists
through which they pass. Audaciously they
dashed by, dressed in complete unilo,ms of
light gray, the insignia of military rank mark
ed upon the collar Of each coat The uni
forms of the cavalry are trimmed with yellow;
those Of the artillery corps in rcd, with caps
of scarlet. ,-......r ..l ...,..l..... .... ... z

After these imperial leaders marched THEN

mon;ac masters-fGht!ng in their rear for
eternal serflorn, which they arc taught to
believe is Southern rights, manly lndepen-

crowding the street, swarmed worse than
Egyptian plague! Nevcr-until | saw il
with my own eyes--did believe all that
had read of the outward destitution and deg
radiation of the Southern rank and file fact
1t cannot be exaggerated. Gather the scum
Of New York from her dirtiest dcns-stretch
it along the street in its sq,,alor, filth and
wretehedness, and it would be comely
sight compared with that presented by the
Southern scum in the great army Of the
South. The tattcrs and the skin Of the men
were the color Of the earth beneath their feet.
Barefooted, half naked, foul, filling the air
with unbearabe stencil, Houting their dirty
banners, gazing eagerly about with their
starved faces intent only on plunder and on
finding something tocat. Thus the deliver

Besides these Virginia splanters, my eyes
were charmed for the 6rst time with the
sight OF the ladies Of Charlestown, who ney-
er condescended to ride in state into Harpcr's
Ferry during the Federal rule. Now in dl.
bions finery, flashing with III assorted colors,
in chariots which looked as if they had been
dragged down from the ark, they rode IN to
see their friends, the rebel officers. These
are the women who open their blinds and
spit on Union soldiers from their windows;
who heap upon thoni every nameless indispi.

In addition to their own chattcls, most of
these secession farmers found room to stow
away some Government property for their
owa private use. One Of these thieves wo'd
have new white tent laid across the carriage
before him; another would carry pile of
soldiers Undertaking, which he had pilag-
ed from the commissary stores; bag of rice
which the rebels had discarded; each one
had something worth carrying away.
