The daily Green Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1861-1865, 1862-03-14
A Taste Of the Southern Press.

We give below some extracts from recent
Southern papers, which now reach the North
quite regularly by the way OF Nashville. The
Memphis AvuIanche stirs up the rebels after this
fine style:
"For the sake of honor and manhood, we
trust no young unmarried man will suffer HIM
self to be drafted! lie would soon become "a
by-word, Il scott. IL burning shame to his Sex and
to his State Leave thai to old and married
men but in the name of patriotism, let us not
see young men parading our streets as militia,
when the guns of hundreds of sick soldiers are
waiting for them at Columbus.
We invoke the attention of our girls and
wives npon this SUBJECT and if young men in
pantAloons will stay behind desks counters, and
nolasses barrels, let the girls present them with
the garment proper to their peaceable Spirits
Success viii make demons OF our invaders, and
success in the invasion OF this valley will be
more cheering to them than victory at any other
point.
"All that we hold dear is at stake; but if our
men Will not act as men, il they are willing to
follow their avocatIons and let subjugation over
take US rather than lose a good chance Of max
ing dollar-if they regard wealth ~ OF more
value than freedom, then let us know it at once
before there is any further etfusion Of blood -
lie that ar0uld 60 to the field but cannot, should
be aidcd to do So He that ran, but auW not go,
should be made TO do So by every consideration
which can prompt manhood to duty, to honor
and fame
The avalanche, also, has an aggressive policy,
which it explains as follows
" The indignant South will not much longer
brook the deadly wrongs and foul insults nflict-
ed by Northern dastards They will not much
longer be permitted to harrass our people with
lmpunity. The day of vengeance is at hard"
BY invading PENNSYLVANIA, and
threatening Or capturing Philadelphia, Maryland
and Virginia will be relieved, and by attacking
the North%estana attacking Cincinnati. Missouri
and Kentucky will be delivered from their oo-
pressors. Inc armed hordes from Illinois. In
diana and OHIO, by which they are now overrun
and devastated, Will be compelled to fly to the
defense OF their own soil. As
soon, therefore, as the Spring campaign shall
open, mighty and Simultaneous effort should
be made to drive the Unionists from Virginia
and Ke1tucky, and the victorious armies OF the
South should b, precipitated upon the NORTH
Her chief cities should be seized or reduced to
ashes; her armies scattered to the winds her
States subugated, and her people compelled to
netray the expenses vi Il war which they have
wlckediy commenced and obstnatcIy continued.
" Fearless and invincible-a race
OF warriors rivsl'ing any that ever followed the
standard OF an Alexandria C;esar,or Napoleon
they have the power and the will to carry Ibis
war into the eneiny's country, and annihilate
the power OF the North. Let, then, the light
hinss OF IA nations wrath seattle her vile oppres-
sors-!et the thunlerbols of war be hurled
back upon her dastardly Invaders-lct its flames
De Sindled along their borders, from the Allan
tic to the Pacific, and sweep like their own
prairle-ilres, with desolatng fury over the West
and East, until the recognition of Southern in
dependence shall be extortcd from the reluctant
NORTH, and terms OF peace be dictated by veto
rious Southern army at New York or Chicago
The New Orleans Della thus apostrophizes
uen. Sterling Price, who has just been defeated
by Gen. Curtis
