"Ladyn secessionists.

Rev. DIR. Butler, of Washington, in a lee
ture at Cincinnati a few evenings ago, gave
his audience few instances of the amiable
dispositions of young ladies of secession
persuasion. In Alexandria, gallant young
artillery officer was spit upon by two young
ladies few days before the battle of Bull
Run. He Immediately inquired their names
and ascertained their residences. and on
that same evening, with a number of his
comrades, serenaaed them for three hours,
singing the most sentimental songs in praise
of the loneliness and gentleness of women.
The second illustration given by DR.. But
Ter was as follows In Baltimore, young
lady dropped her handkerchief one day. A
Federal officer was sufficiently overcharg
ed with etiquette to pick it up and hand it
to her. The dear creature-type of the
graces that she was-gave him side glance,
and in dulcet tones inquired, 'Do you think
would accept anything from an Abolition
hireling ?"
The third is as good as the above. While
young lady of Baltimore was walking with
an ''air of impunity" along the streets. an
officer rubbed against her dress. Display
ing a flexibility of nose worthy the atten
ton of a psychologist. the Dixianic beauty
muttered the monosyllable, "wretch," and
shook her expansive skirts as if to remove
something Northernly offensive. The off .
Ger quietly followed her to her elegant home,
rang the door bell, and called for the gen
tleman of the house. To this gentleman
he presented the alternative of al apology
from her or fight from her husband, if
she had such an apnendage, if not, her be-
loved paternal relative must choose the
weapons. Angelina was called and remon-
strated with, and being so advised, made
the requisite apology.
