SOUTHERN LAMENTATIONS.

The Richmond Eraminer a DAYS ago, con-
tanned an editorial leader" which common
ced with the following words:
From the valiant Senator down t, the
timid saamstress, the question on every tongue
in Richmond Is, whether the enemy are like
y TO penetrate tCih thar guH5oGs, To this
quarter?
As in Richmond SO also in Memphis, at
the latest adviccs from that city. The fol-
lowing extract from the Memphis Argus Of
January 9TH Is significant
We spoke and speak Of the ~ill-eonduct-
Ing Of this war, which has now taken from
our homes some three or four hundred thou
sand Of our best and bravest. which has par
alv-ed all business. save that which puts the
money We can 50 lily spare into the pockets Of

We have been made to stand still and

chooses to Z We, 'rbeR he pleased and ,rhere
be pleased. We have heard our generals
blamed for not doing what it appears they
were not permitted to do. The smOthered
report Of Beaure-ard has made that truth
clear enough. We have for months and
months been told that England would do our
fighting for Us on the seas"
And the Memphis Appeal is equally de-
~spGndent- 1t says
d" The blockade i unbreakable by us vet.
In one word, re'rs heaD.ed m. We've allow

MIR. T~rCLURE-s COMPARISON OF
iNGLISu AND AMERICAN EXPEN-
UITURES,

The people Of the United States have very
ll.tlc OF no reason TO be discouraged in view
Of the expenditures Of this war against rebel
lion. WIKI RESOURCES such as no nation on
the globe has ever possessed, We have carried
On the war without any call upon our peo-
pie, except FOR voluntary subscriptions to the
national loan. Not a nan has vet been taxed
not a soldier drafted-nOr has any citizen
been unusually burdened. Every thing thus
lar has been voluntary, both in men and
money. We have every reason To feel proud
oil our position. and every reason. also, to be
grateful to God and the patriotism Of our
people.
The debt Of this great na,ion-wbicb
wastes more than many great nations con
sume-is hardly at this time over three hum
dred millions Of dollars.
Look at what England (whOse newspaper
writers are prophesying bankruptcy IN the
North expended from 1898 to 1SIi. Ii
tells It's own story. The public expenditures
OF England during the war which was begun
IN 1873, and was continued (with short in.
termisslons IN 1901 and 1914 until the final
overthrow OF Napoleon Ia 1915, were con

In loIf the current expenditures amount.

COOP SPEEcH.-The best speech that We
have seen of those made at the various cele-
brations of the 22l, was made at the News
boys lodging House in New York, by pad
dy Beef"-the spokesman of the boys. 1t
was as follows
Fellow thitithenth ,bummerth and beef e,terth,
10. we're all beef eaterth to day. l hope you
will grow up to be like Washington, and Temem-
Der the good dinner you got on his birthday at
the Newsboys' Lodging House. Washington was
once a boy like me; ne Arrays told Ls truth. Mr..
Lincoln was once a poor boy, too, like some of the
members of this meeting, but now he is a great
man, the President Of this glorious Constitution
Do you 'spose if a lot of US newsboys was TO 20
down to the White House to call on him, that he'd
back out and not receive us? Not a bit of il, gen
tlemen He'd be glad to see a few members Of
this Lodging House.
If you live to be like Washington, you will be
honest and great men. You may 90 the West
and get a home with some rich farmer, and when
he dies hell call you to him and say, - ''you
were once a member of the Newsboys' Lodging
House, in New York; you have been kind to me.
and now l am going to die and leave you my
farm" All right, you say, and then you como
back to visit the news boys, and to tell your old
friends how you have got to be the rich farmer
himself"
