Jordan, \ Ola jackson Drummsr.

We obtain the following from the last Louisi-
ana Democrat, which will be read with interest,
as Old Jordan is well known by our people:
Az incident occurred recently in New Orleans,
during the progress of registration under But
lsr's edict, which must have been keenly felt by
the brute, if he has a single manly instinct in
his breast, and which kindles the admiration of
every patriot for the noble old fellow who was
the hero Of 1t Everybody has hesrd of sod
! Jordan" the negro drummer in General Jack
sons army which defended New Otleans in
1915. He has lived oil his life in the city, where
he is as much beloved aud respected as ever old
Hickory was in his palmiess days. The old
veteran, q few days since, boldly walked into
the ofies. as ordered in Buffers procIama-
tiop, handed in a complete list Of his quite
handsome property, and declared himself
an enemy Of the United States. This
would seem 10 indicate inst Jordan has a
profound contempt for The Yankee government
aud its o%ficers, and that he does not appreciate
the efforts Of Butler 10 regenerate his rscs BY
making a St Domingo Of his native State If
the Picayune does descend to as eonsemp ibls a
trick as to take this property, we should believe
thst be is mean enough to steal the cents IF a
dead niggor's eyes The thousands of those
! citizens Of w Orleans prstsndiEg to be loyal,
who have sworn allegiance to the United States
for the purpose Of saving their property, must
have blushed for shame when they saw this old
negro voluntarily stripping himself Of hs hard
earned gains ami becomi & penniless in the
evening of his days rather than yield obedience
10 a government which has become an object of
ths contempt of tho civilized world"
THE M-JssoURIAEs Tho Richmond corre-

do all in their power on the side of treason. 1t
is high time to throw aside the idea that the
Missouri rebels, or these from any other Stats,
are to be put down with mild or conciiatory
measures. When men Ds oh bareiootsd mile
ater mile over rough and filthy roads, their feet
exuding blood st every step when their rations |
consist Of a single ear Of corn, and VIXEN their
clothing hangs in rags about them, with its
safety endangered by every gust Of wind, it is
time to know that these men believe in the cause
they have espoused- When men thus shod. fed
ana clothed. fight with a desperation unparsllel-
ed 10 history, as instsnced by that tsrriha charpe |
on our batteries az Corinth, it is time fer Us TO
understand hat only al sctive and vigorous war
will end the rebellion with honor to the Federal
cause" Wei sad for the Missourians.
