The WOMEN OF THE SoUTH. Nothing
can be more noble aud heroic than tho
spirit of the women of the South from
the beginning Of this contest In their
brave and generous hearts tho fame of
patriotism has burned from the begin
ming with fame which no cloud of dis
appointment can dim nor floods of disas-
tiers can extinguish In the language
ascribed to noble Southern lady, who,
hearing Of our recent reverses, expressed
calmly, but, with profound emphasis, her
desire TO be crushed to death by one of
the enemys bomb shells rather than wit
ness the subjugation of the South, wo
believe that the women Of the South,
would rather die tomorrow than witness
the degradation of their native land
To talk of subjugating people whose
mothers, wives and daughters are ami
mated by such spirit is the widest in
sanity. We have always regarded tho
enthusiastic and constant devotion of the
Southern women to the Southern cause
as u signal proof Of the goodness of that
cause, and Of the moral strength it would
command among the Southern people
Virtuous, unselish, disinterested, their
prayers will be stronger with Heaven
than the arms of men, whose patriotism
is too often mixed with the alloy of self
ishness and ambition.
Whilst the South has such women, her
sons must be as brave as their mothers
are pure and noble. God bless the wo-
men Of the South The cause is in their
hands. And no matter how sellishness,
greed, ambition and inhumanity may run
riot elsewhere; no matter how mon in
petticoats may quail and ravens may
croak, the prayers Of the mothers aud
wives Of Israel will avail with Heaven,
and their spirits inspire the souls and
nerve the arms Of our people to fight
on, fight ever" till their liberties are So

Philadelphia Evening Journal states
that owing to the great influx Of negroes
into Chester county Pennsylvania, wages
have been reduced to such an extent as
to render many Of the negroes willing TO
labor for ten cents per dayl
This is, perhaps, the first instance in
Pennsylvania, where negro labor came in
ruinous competition with white labor.

abolitionists persist in Kidding the South

them together in swarms, in the free
States. Ifthe white men at the North,
who have to labor for their bread sustain
the abolitionsts little while longer,
they will not be able to obtain any en-
ployment whatever, even al ten cents per
day, where the negro Gun be made to

Valley Of the Shenandoah is terribly
