A Marked Day.

The New York Herald Of a recent date, says I:
Sunday seems to be q marked day in this re-
bellion. Eight out of every ten battles that
have been fought during the war have taken
place on The Sabbath, and the news of almost
every other battle has arrived here just in time
for Sundays paper, or at such an hour as TO
render the issue of Sunday extra necessary.
This singular coincidence has been frequently
noticed by the generals commanding our armies,
The editors OF papers, and clergymen in their
pulpits. War is evidently no Tespecter of the
seventh day Of rest and peace, the forty aboli-
tiOn-screaming parsons to the contrary noswith-
standing, and men will seem to shoot, and stab
and mangle each other on Sunday, as well as
any other day, without stopping to consider the
sanctity of the occasion.
Yesterday we had another Sunday sensation.
People had returned from morning service, and
were about to sit down complacently to their
dinners, when the noise Of the newsboys shout
ing cut The defeat Of Gen. Banks !" startled
them from their easy chairs, and summoned
them to the street doors to purchase paper
containing an account Of the unlocked for intel
ligence.
The news circulated through the city, as all
bad news will, on the wings Of lightning. The
newsboyS were all over the city in a few hours
aud extras were bought up at the most fabulous
prices The excitement, as will readily be sup
posed, was intense, and increased every hour,
the most feverish anxiety existing to learn full
particulars of the disaster. A rumor that the
militia of this and neighboring States had beer
notified to hold themselves in readiness to march
TO the defense Of the national capital naturally
/ heightened the effect Of the news from Virginia
aud gave rise to the fear that Washington was il
| danger of being captured by the enemy. Down
town crowds beset the newspaper offices, an(
the appearance Of things greatly resemble The
early days of the rebellion. The disaster, com
ing oz the heels of so many glorious victoies
caused the shock to be felt all the greater by til,
people, who were i'll prepared for the reception o
! bad tidiDgs.

The Memphis Lndics.

In one Of his late letters from the Bluff city,
the correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial,
makes the following remarks about the fashions
in Memphis
Southern ladies' have always been ahead Of
their Northern sisters in the adoption of the
latest styles. Paris fashion plates, previous to
the war, found more attentive students in New
Orleans than New York But the blockade put
sudden stop to the frequent changes from
B,oiTe antiqRe 10 some other outrageously named
article of dress, and left the Dixianc bon ton to
make such amendments as their prudence might
dictate to the repudiated styles Of the spring of
1861.
Southern fashions since tie Inauguration of
the great struggle for the rights of cotton, have
been characterized by plainness and simplicity
that would be credi'a5le had they the recon-
mendative quality Of being voluntary. But the
facts do not warrant the belief that they were.
The attenuated forms of many Of the fair
Memphians led me at first to conclude that less
clrcutous equipsge than that worn in the "yul-
| oar North had been agreed upon-thst the fair
sex had entirely discarded the article so renown-
/ ed for the poetic charm it gives the wearer, and
the prosaic manner in which it takes up the
| whole sidewalk. But on inquiry learned that
! the blockade had made virtue Of a necessity
that the expansive attire was the one most
/ admired, but that the collapsed edition had been
| adopted in some cases as unavoidable in
short, that the article of female wearing apparel
| best understood by the term crinOline, was
difficult to obtain, hence the patriotic daughters
! of the sunny South had to appear in a'condensed
| form. Now that trade with the North has been
resumed, the Memphian ladies will again assume
! balloon pfopoTtiOns suppose.

Now is the time for JuShlrhackiag and the
Hach fgg. Now is the time to punish with the
full measure of retributiye justice the vandals
who have dared to desecIate our soil for purposes
OF rapine, murder, and every manner of cruelty
and outrage which illustrates the' depravity and
wlckedness Of human nature in its most degene-
rate form.
1t is not improbable that by means of iron
clad boats they will succeed occasionally in ef-
tecting landings upon the Mississippi river, with
a view to predatory incursiOns into the interior.
Nothing better could be desired. It will give
each man, of whatever age, calling or occupa-
ton, an opportunity to become at once an eff
cient soldier. He can take his gun, ascertain
the places most likely to be frequented by the
Yankee thieves, conceal himself in ravine, un-
deTgrowth or thieket, and pick them off by the
wholesale. This viii be fine sport-better, in
deed than hunting wild game. And those en-
gagged in it will have the satisfaction of knowing
that whenever they bring one of these pTowling
beasts to the dust, the number of our remorse-
less enemies will be that much less We know
of one quiet, but shrewd and resolute citizen in
a certain region, infested with these plundeTers
from Yankee land, who has bagged about q
dozen of them His example is commended es-
pecially to the people Of the river counties but
not to them alone. Wherever the bas c hoof of =
Yankee leaves its impress, there let his carcass
be made to enrich the soil which he has come to
plunder. Nor must their coming be awaited
Every part Of Our territory should alike be held
sacred from such a loahsOme presence.
he Yankee generals, dreading tie guerilla
and bushwhacking system of war, have indica-
Gated their purpose to retaliate by seizing non
combatants and destroying property indscrim-
iuately. 1t is not for our people to be deferred
by this expedient We must rememberthat our
condition cannot possibly be made worse than
it will become should the Yankees succeed in
their scheme of sutjugstion. As for the rules
of civilized war, we have this TO say A people
who for no iustIhAble cause Whatever have come
to place yoke OF iron on our necks, are not en-
titled to their benefit. Moreover, those rules, as
well as the ordinary obligations of humanity,
nave been entirely disregarded by the Yankees
wherever they have succeeded in obtaining CON
troll. Witness their inhuman conduct at Nash
vile, Huntsville, New Orleans and elsewhere.
Witness their attack with shell and shot upon
Chattanooga, without warning for the removal
of women aud children.
In addition to pitched battles upon the open
field, let US try partisan ranging bushwhacking,
aud henceiOrward until the close of the war,
let our sign be, The Black Flag, and No Quar-
Ter !-NiSSiSSippian.
