Il hate IT," he said "nut hate the Yankees worse"
This should be the spirit in civil we'll as military life.
The soldier has more tC complain OF Hundred fold than

his dear old home And yet be "hares the Yankees

and comfort, but he loves his country more. Let

A STUNNING" IDEA FROM BENNF1r.-B Bennett, OF
the New York Herald frequently stuns with the
grandeur OF his conceptions The following exces any
thing, however, have seen from him in this line
He says:
There is still, however one way of escape for Davis
and bis gully Conederates from the extreme humllia
tion OF defeated treason. AS fleets and armies crowd
upon them let the rebel cheain, his Cabinet and Con
gress, aud all the soldiers who choose to follow him.
push down through Texas into Mexico, upset the Eu-
ropean coalition there establish genuine republic and
then, after satisfactory probation, may forgive the
crimes of secession, and take back the apostles ard de-
votes into the Union with the rich and beautiful coun-
try which they will have saved from European domna-
ton.
An immediate retreat into Mexico and the liberation
of that people from European bondage is the only
chance OF Davis and his fighting follows from the g.
nomin0us fate of defeated traitors. But in this retro
grade movement and III the great enterprise indicated
there lie not only way OF escape, but way to high
renown offered to Davis bis associate rulers and bis
bel army Thus they may wipe of the stains of treason
and rebellion and for this wickedness and folly
in saving Government the expense of buying of
England, France and Spain from Mexico and thus
this rebellion may be ended both sides by decisive
exercise Of American power and in perfect blaze of
American glory.
