The southern aegis, and Harford County intelligencer. (Bel Air, Md.) 1862-1864, 1862-11-01
BEL AIR. MD. SATURDAY MORNING.

ADollti0n Hroclymasnln an the C0nnSca-
shin Bill rolled into one." SEES /, "Ker-
mel, there's only one thing about it that's
wrong. Sometimes the sticks get twisted
together, or tangled up like the logs COM
ing down the river in Maine in the spring
of the year, an itfequires a purity hard
jar to start them loose. But" ses, I,
"there's no danger of it's KILN aneybody,
an there's no way for you to get rid of
that gripin but by taken it,"
. The Kernel looked at it purity sharp, an
ses he, "Majer, I can't stand this innard
arthquake much longer, an eff you say
that that rale fence will cure me, Til
swallow it it eff takes the hair off my he'd"
So l jest told him to take it, an down he
put itas easy as eff it had been geniwine Bor-
bone. He hadn't had it down but little
while before he began to get wus. He
walked the floor an groaned as eff he was
goin to die. SEES he, "Majer, this infer
nal stuff will kill me, sure, I believe I've
swallowed dose of pitchfork tines, or a
half pint of darnin needles. 1t reminds
me of story, Majer, but I feel too bad
to tell it. It's the very first time in my
life | was ever SO far gone" I see at. a
glance what was the matter. The sticks
had got tangled together, an lodged fast,
an knew there was no time to be lost
So ses "Kernel, kin cure you. You
jest cums rite here an sit down in this
cheer" He cum up, and wen he went to
set down, I jerked the cheer rite out from
under him, and down he cum kerslap on
the floor. tell you it made the hull
house shake; but [ knowed he must get
a good jar or it was a gone case with him.
1t made him see stars for little while,
for the Kernel, you know is long geared
and it was no jokin matter for him to fall
SO far.
But it was all over with in a minnet,
as wen he got up he sed he felt like an
luther man; but ses he, "Majer, that's
what I call goin to the bottom of sub
ject." "Wall," ses I, "Kernel, that's
jest what you are tryin to do on the sla-
very questshin, an eff you don't see stars
on that before you get thru with it, I'll
wonder" SEES I, "Kernel, do you expect
the Dimmicrats are goin to support you
on freein the niggers?" "Wal," ses he,
"Majer, not the rale giniwine Dimmicrats;
but you see you've got a CRATE lot of fell
lers in your party who call themselves
Dimmicrats, who amt no Dimmicrats at
all, You've had the Offices in your par
ty SO long, that you have naturally at
tracted hull lot of chaps who only want
Offices. These fellers have mostly been
the leaders of your party for years and
years, an now, we've got the Offices, au ther
Amt scarcely chance that the South will
ever have eny more to give 'em, they all
cum to us, an | kin get 'em at eny price,
from a Brigadier- Generalship down to
quarter of dollar. I've tried to get
some geniwine Dimmicrats to mix in, but
you can't touch 'em." SEES I, "Kernel, I
guess you'll find that the CRATE bulk of the
Dimmicrats won't fife to free the mig
gers. They can't be sech pack of dern-
ed FOOLS" "You've got too high an opin-
ion of your party, Majer," sesthe Kernel.
"There'sa crate menny more derned fools
in it than you've got eny idee Of. You
say they won't fife to put down slavery.
Didn't they say they wouldn't fite to CO.
cree the South? And didn't they do it
And didn't they say they would only
defend the Capital, and wouldn't invade
Virginny, and didn't they do it?''
"Yes," ses /, "Kernel, I must own
that's the truth; but" ses I, 'sthey cal
led God to witness eff the war was ever
made an anti-slavery war, they would
throw down their arms" EYES," SEES he,
"but don't they say now they amt got
nothin to do with the policy Of the gov
eminent; and that their only duty is to
6te." "Wal,'' ses !, 1Kernel; sum Of
'em have sed that, but it can't be posi-
bul that that's the gineral sentiment
RI they follow that principul, then eff you
should call yourself Emperor or King, an
tell 'em to fife to establish monarchy,
they would do that" "That's drivin
Your idees little too far, Majer, as you
ginnerally do. But what do you think
about our goin up to the army, an revew-
in the sojers, an seein whether I amt jest
as popelar as ever I was 1Wal,' SEES /,
aKernel, | think that that is good idee,
Ian | kin judge purity nigh how your
/ Proclymashin sets on the stnmacks of the
scjers from the way they cheer you. Ef
they cheer as loud as they did wen we
were down to Harrisin Landing, shall
be mistaken So we started off the next
day for Ginneral McClellan's head-quar-
tors in Z apeshal train. First we went to
