NORTHERN OPINION OF sOUTURoNs

The Rer. DR.. BeLLOns in the Centennial Conveu-
ton Of his sect held in New York recently, OK
pressed his views in this wise:
No candid mind will deny the peculiar charm of
Southern young Inen at college, or Southern Young
women in society. How far race and climate indie
pendent Of seTvie institutions, may have produced
the Southern chivalric spirit and manner, will not
here consider. But one might as well deny the
small feet and hands of that people as deny GER
tain inbred habit of comuand-a CONTEMPT of life
IN defence Of honor class-a talent for political
life, and an easy control of interiors. Nor is this
merely an external and aashy heroism 1t is real.
1t showed itself in Congress early and always by
the courage eloGuence, skill and success with which
it controlled majoriteS. 1t showed itself in the
social life of Washington, by the grace, fascination
and ease, the Tree and charming hospitality by which
1t governed society. 1t now shows itself i'm Eng
land and France, by the success with which it
manages the courts and the circles of literature and
fashion IN both Countries. 1t shows itself in this
war in the orders and procamations of its Gene
rails, in the messages to the rebel Congress and in
the essential good breeding and humanity CONTRARY

which 1t not seldom divides its medical stores and
gives our sick and wounded as favorable care as il
is able to extend to itS-own. 1t exceeds US at this
moment in the possession of an ambulance CORPS.

GENERAL ORDERS,
The Brigadier General commanding takes much
pleasure III rendering his thanks and congratula-
tons to the officers and men of his command for
their arduouS services and gallant conduct during
the recent campaign. After having distinguished
yourselves in the battle of Gaines Farm June 81,
1862, your long continued and tiresome marches
since leaving Richmond, dashing courage at the
battle OF Manassas Plains, August 80, 1852, and
truly veteran conduct at the battle of Sharpsburg
Md, sept 18th, have won for you the merited praise
and gratitude of the army and our country
In less than three months YOU have marched sew
eral hundred miles under trying circumstances par
ticipated in several engagements, and made your
selves the acknowledged heroes of three of the
hardest fought battles that have occurred in the
present war.
In none Of these have you elected so much praise
from our Commanding Generals or so justly enti-
tied yourselves TO the proud distinction of being
the bravest troops in the army, at the battle of
SharpsburS. Called upon to retake ground lost to
our arms, you not only did 50, but promptly drove
the enemy, twenty times your number from his
guns, and, if supported, would have led on to one
Of the NEST glorious victories known TO the history
Of any people. Your failure to do so was the fault
of others, and it was here, by your rallying and
presenting front to The advancing columns of the
enemy, that you won higher praise than IN any of
the brilliant charges you have made.
No achleveu ent so marks the true soldier as COOL
ness under such circumstances as surrounded YOU
on that memorable day, and il is with peculiar pride
that the Brigadier General commanding acknowl-
edges that such of his command as had not fallen
in the terrible clash of arms, were in ranks again.
