In UNION IS srREserH. We were struck with
the reply of young Louisiana soldier to one who
asked him how he liked camp life. 81 hate it,''
he said, "but hate the Yankees worse" This
should be the spirit Of civil well military life
The soldier has more to complain Of hundred
fold than the civilian. He has not only right to
grumble at alleged mismanagementi in high places,
which affect him in his character as a citizen as
much as any civilian, but at the peculiar hardships
of bis own lot sleeping on the cold ground indif
ferent food, toisome marches, sometimes brutal
officers who make his life bitter to him, constant
perls, and, worse than all, the yearning of the
heart for his dear old home. And yet he hates
the Yankees worse" He loves his home, he loves
personal freedom and comfort, but he loves his
country more. Let US emulate this patriotic and
magnanmous spirit. Whatever we may see to
condemn in each other, we have SO much more to
hate and eXecrate in the common adversary, that
we may well consent to bear and forbear till the
contest is ended, and our divisions can bring no
harm to the common cause. At present every
manifestation of dscOrd and party strife is fresh
incentive to our watchful and malignant foe 1t is
seized upon not only as proof of our internal
weakness, but new illustration of the spirit of
faction and discomfort which our enemies alege
led to the present revolution, and could never be
contented under any form of government.

the war will end in the acknowledged independ-

party of 1900 made circuit of ten or twelve

within this ravaged district, who had been to town
during the morning, returned about dinner time to
find his mansion in disorder, the furniture thrown
here and there, pictures torn out Of their frames,
the silver carried of, and the household negroes
scared out Of their wits. Upon questioning one
of these faithful fellows, the negro informed him
