A great many people here have already ex-
pressed their agreeable surprise at the general
appearance of the reqresentiyes Of the univer-
sal Yankee nation who had landed on the
shostile shore" of Memphis. While walking
along the streets yesterday, I overheard e
young lady say to her parental relative, as !
gunboat officer was passing by, Why, Pa, Is
that a Yankee? He looks like our gentlemen
don't he? Why, he'sright good looking, ain't
he r. The fact Is, a majority Of the young pco-
pie og the CoaFede-acy expected to see Their
homes invaded by droves Of horned demons

The Dutohman's BOY.

A DUTeHMAx up at Scaughticoke, by the
name Of Kendrick, had a son By the name Of
Jacob or Yaupy, as the Dutch usually call it,
with whose education he had taken much
pains, instructing him in all the rudiments Of
good breeding, etc, until he became satisfied
that his boy Yaupy was perfect pattern Of
obedience and good manners; and he took ev-
cry occasion to show of Yaupy's accomplish
ments, and sound his praise among his neigh
bors. He said Yaupy had more larnin' den
most all de boys in de school; he can read all
through thespelling- book, and spell all through
the reading books, and could tell all de pic
lures in de big bible"
-Kendrick was visited one cay BY MS minis
ter, who called to inquire into his moral and
religious affairs, and to give instructions to his
family. Kendrick thinking it good Oppor-
tunity to show off his paragon of a son, and
wishing at the same time to be civil and kind
to his minister, called out to his boy, who was
in an adjoining room
Yaupy, you go down in de cellar and
draw de ministher pitcher Of cider )" but
Go to de tevil, fader," said Yaupy, and
draw de cider yourself; you know where it
is as we'll as I do"
This was rather stumper to poor KeHdriok,
but being unwilling that his minister should
go away with an uuiavorabIe impression Of
Yaupy's manners, he undertook to apologize
for him.
Parson," said he, G this IS de best boy I
ever seed in my life; but he has very bad
cold now |"

the owner and his wife go out, and immediate

seems, writes Huntsville, Alabama, CORES
pondent, that the gallant soldiers about the
city are finding crevices in the stony hearts
of Alabana's fair daughters Notwithstanding
the contemptous manner in which they were
at first treated. I was shown, this evening,
a very neat residence, formerly occupied By
a disconsolate young widow, who found much
trouble in the management Of handsome
little estate and some twenty-five of Gods
images carved in ebony" a handsome
young fellow from the Third Ohio Regiment,
was placed at the widows door to afford her
protection She found him so faithful and
manly in the performance Of his duty, that
she concluded to interest him permanently in
the estate, Accordingly a minister was sent
for, and few select friends, the lady's init
mates and the soldiers messmates, were pres
ent to see the "twain made one flesh"

in cur opinion, the people of this

who will more zealousiy aud ably advo-

lslsture than the Hon. Walter ID. McIn-
doc, of Marathon county. He is man
of excellent ability, an experienced leg-
lslator, and one of the most prompt and
efficient business men in the State. His
activity and energy are untiriug-a true
patriot who fully compassionate the nee
esNtles of the times, and of sterling in

the unexpired term, is pressing. Our
sole wish is to see the best man selecsed
and We believe Walter D. McIndos is
that man.

OBITUAR "

Died in this city OH the 4th inst, Clarrilla,
oldest daughter of j. s. and Mary E. White,
aged years months and 81 days.
Clarrilla has gone from the friends that she
loved t.-s
She has gone to her Savior. IN Heaven above :;
She t5uld leave all things earth here below,
If her father and mother could with her but
go.
But as Christ is our Savior, he thought it net
best,
For he left them to mourn and take care of
the rest
The parting with Clarrilla there is no one can
tell
But those that were with her to bid her fare
well,
Oh, father, dear father, weep not for her now.
And kind, gentle mother, who kissed here cold
brow;
Although in her youth from your bosoms was
torn,
trust you will meet on Resurrection morn.
Oh. Clarril'a, Clarrilla. loved so 10 greet
That kind. gentle child whose voice was so
sweet;
When they bore her away with slow aolemn
tread,
l turned from the spot and whispered, she S
dead. 3-.-

THE MESS AGE.

We publish in auether column what the st.
Paul Psess says of the Message 1t isa'rose
colored view. In cur opinion. the Message
has not gunpowdei enough in il. 1t does not
saver enough Of battle and subjugation.s 1t
falksxboat many things which areanot peril
nent now, 1t reasons too much+-dscides too
little. oh, for an hour of " By the Eternal ~
oh, for man who viii seize the vast forces of
the North, and hurl them in a storm of death
upon the rebels. II e.-s
We all know how rousing fire after bla-
xing and roaring tor while, will grow quiet
the white ash settle over the red heart with
in, and it will be seemingly dormant and
dead But the death is only seeming. Thrust
in the poker, pile ON the fuel, and the red
flames leap to life again.
When this rebellion broke out, the fires OF
patriotism blazea with a fiercenesg, which if
properly directed, would have burned up the
rebellion Hike stubble. We expected short,
ou:ck, terrible work, and a browning victory.
But we have seen time wasted, opportunities
lost, debts contracted, and armies decimated,
until the sc1.ie ash has settled upon the fires of
our patriotism. We looked to see the Presi-
dent thrust in the poker, wake the flame
anew. We looked for clarion words, breezy
with the tempest of war, strong with the fix
edness of infiexible purpose, which should
cheer the saddened heart, revive the dreoping
faith, and strengthen the virtuous purpose of
all loyal souls.
To be sure. the Message says many good
things Tits great thing tor a President to
speak of Slavery as Mr.. Lincoln does, but the
Message is too tame. too bloodless. 1t is no
time TO be calm. The country reels under an
awful burden Doubt and fear are beginning
to palsy the hearts of the people. At such
tirae, an American President should address
an assembled Congress in language Ahich has
the blush of Vigorous blood upon it. His
words should be stiffened with a purpose un-
Welding as fate He should assure the eager.
lv listening Nation. that this rebellion shall
speedily be driven to hell, if there is blood
and money enough in the loyal Nerth to do
it.
We believe the conviction is gradually
growing in the minds of the people, that Mr.
Lincoln, though a pure, honest, patriotic man.
has rot nerve enough for this terrible crisis.
Let US still hope that his action will show
vigor which we fail to find in his speech.
