A nIANNERLY ROY.

Last week the "Crabtown Dorcas Sew
ing Society" had their annual meeting,
and on motion it was voted "That our
Parson wait on Tony Jones, and see if
nothing can be done to improve the
manners of young Tony" "
The next day the Parson called upon
Tony, Sr., and informed him respecting
the object of his visit, to which he re-
Piled
"Parson, I'd let Tony go to meetin'
every Sunday, if 1 only know'd you's
goin to preach. But, Parson, there ain t
a boy in the village of Crabtown what s
got more manners than my Tony, and l
can convince you of that in just mint.
You see Tony out there skinnin' them
nttfers?'' s5 l.sf. /. l....
The Parson nodded assent.
"Now, see, I'll call him." And rails

shouted 'a @ -

The response was quick and equally
loud. .-......-...

man. s'Don't you call that manners?''
"That is all very well, replied the
Parson, $50 far as it goes"
"What do you mean by 'fsr as it
goes?' That boy, sir, always speaks re-
specially to me, when [ call him. -
Then raising his voice, he again called
at 900 o-n-yl"
The boy dropped half dressed fish,
and shaking his fist at his sire, yelled

The Parson was ,astounded.. The old
man was disconnected for moment, but
instantly recovering himself, he tapped
the Parson on the shoulder, saying
"You see, Parson, my boy has got

will make an ornament to your society

NEWS OF THE WEEK.

80 The last week has been one OF
the most intense interest to the coun.
try. Rumors of the widest character,
infoonnecton with actual occurrences.
7. have kept the public mind in state OF
great excitement Washington has, of
course been the center of interest. A
painful pprehension for its safety per-
yaded the minds of all loyal men. Af-
ter more than a year of strategy" on
the part of our ,Commander-in Chief,
with, the finest army in the world, and
at an expense of many hundreds of mil
Hons of dollars, and the sacrifice of un-
known thousands of lives, our forces are
again intrenched around the Capital,
while the thunders of the rebel artillery
!. startle the panic stricken inhabitants, as
they were startled a year. ago, With
the concentration Of our armies and the
reinforcements from the new recruits
which are arriving at the rate of of ten
thousand aday, it is believed that Wash
ington is safe for the present.
----General Mcclellan is in COM
mand of the defenses o.. Washington
Whatever may be thought of his man
agement of the last years campaign,
there is no doubt of the fact that the
mass Of the troops under his command
still have confidence in him as leader.
This confidence, it is fair to assume, is
shared by the President, or he would not
retain him in his high position. While
he IS SO retained, it is the duty of every
loyalscitizen to sacquiesce, as the saliva
tfon ofsthes country if sit comes at all,
must come through the channel Of the
constituted authorities.
-,--Gen. Hunter has been relieved of
his command in South Carolina, at his
own request, and Gen. Mitchell has been
appointed to take. his place. We have
great confidence in Gen. Mitchell. He
sympathizes fully, we believe, with the
views and policy of Gen. Hunter, which
makes his appointment rather incom-
prehensible. Gen. Hunter was intensely
hated by the rebels. So much so that
jeff. Davis singled out him and Gen.
Phelps, in his message to the rebel Con-
gress, as men especially dangerous to the
cause of the South. They are now
both out of the way. We doubt, how
ever, whether jeff. Davis will be fully
satisfied with the appointment of Mitch
ell. The rebels certainly were not
pleased with his performances in Ten
nessee and Alabama, and would not be
comforted until he was removed. Since
then, they have been able to carry out
their plans, even to the present menace
of Cincinnati, without any impertinent
interference ON the part of our COM
mander in that region.
---1Gen. Butler has just issued
proclamation, inviting to his standard,
the free negroes of New Orleans as vol
unteers in the Union Army. This has
queer look, after driving Gen. Phelps
cut Of the serYico for desiring to do the

+ ----The very Conservative" papers
are in ecstacies over the appointment of
Gen. Mcclellan as Commander-in in Chief
of the armies in Virginia. They pro-
claim exultingly that Lincoln was COM
PEELED to place him in that position
that the alternative was presented to
him of choosing between Mcclellan or
the rebel chief, Stonewall Jackson
In this hard necessity, the President
chose Mcclellan.
1.-The latest papers report the res
ignation of Secretary Stanton, and the
appointment of Gen. Halleck to fill his
place. We are not sure that this is
true, but presume it is. We do not see
how Stanton could remain in the War
Department, under the new disposition
OF our armies, and, especially, if it be
true that that disposition was the result
of menace. We know Stanton too we'll
to believe that he would submit to the
appointment of military ciieftains under
threats. Either the story of intimida
ton is wholly untrue, or Stanton leaves
the Department, Of course. Time will
reveal the true state Of the case.
1.-The rebel army now moving on
the North, through Mary yland, is bare
footed, nearly naked and almost fam
lshed. They have neither provision nor
transportation. They have eaten out
the substance of Virginia, and have
subsisted for weeks past chiefly upon

Stewards THREAT.-The Montreal (Canada(
Advertiser, in speaking of Mr.. Sewrrd's threat
in case the foreign nations recognized the South,
and the good effect recognition will have, re.
marks thus:
Mr.. Secretary Seward, eighteen months ago
threatened the powers Of the world with war Il
they dared to recognized the South or treat
theH other than as rebels TO the Just authority
of the Federal government; he has since altered
hia tsze, and the Federal press is instructed to
declare that recognition amounts to aothinr.
making the position Of the Confederate States
no better, and Federals NO worse, and that.
therefore, it is not to be made a casus beui
against the nations that may recognize the Cen
federscy. Recognition, however, will not only
inspirit the South, but it Will dspress the North
it will give an entirely new character to the
war by removing from it the stigma Of revolt,
and by raising the Confederate States to an
equality in all respects with their adverssries,
and will eHtitle them to the coed Offices Of the
recognizing powers to put an end to q strife
which, so far as the North is concerned, will
have no longer an excuse. Recognition viii not
long precede intervention a people who have
won the right to q place among the nations Of
the weird, and had their position admitted, will
not long be suffered to be the victim Of a contest
directed against them as rebels. Recognition
will secure the practical independence of the
Confederate States as certainly as it did that Of
the United States.

a YANKEE OPINION OF THE YmsIEIAHs.-
The Washington Republican praises the Viz
giRians-even the Virginia rebels Hear him
If there has been any decadence of the manly
virtues in the Old Dominion, it Is not because
the present generation has proved itself either
weak OF eowardly OF unequal to the great emer-
gencies, No people, with so few numbers, ever
put into the field and kept there SO long troops
more efficient, or produced generals Of more
merit, ia al the kinds and grades of military
talent II is not a worn out and effete race
which has produced Lee, Johnston, Jackson,
Ashhy, and Stuart. Il IS not q worn out and
sfets race which for eighteen months has de-
Tended its capital against the approach If an
enemy close upon Their borders, and outnumber-
ing them thirty to one. 1t is not q worn out and
etfete race which has preserved substantial pop

records their unhappy fate as a people, do JUS
tee to their rude virtues as men,"
They fight madly in q bad cause, but they
are fighting bTsVely. They have few towards

dured without a murmur by all classes, and TIE

conscripts, while their gentry, the ofshoot Of
their peculiar social system, have thrown them
selves into the camp and field with ell the dash
and high spirit Of the European nOJlesss of the
middle ages, Tisking, without apparent concern,
upon q desperate adventure, all that men value,
and after a generation of peace and Iepose and
security, which had not emasculsted them. pre-
senting to their enemies g ira ined and intrepid

SUGGESTION TO MEssTssIPPTANs.
The plan Of attack by thu enemy this winter
viii, in all probability, result in a decisive
movement on Jackson by the YAzoO river. As
soon as the rains set in it will become utterly
impossible for large armies to advance by land
through the State. These same rains, however,
win raise the rivers 50 that the enemy, having
control Of the waters, can avail himself Of them
for offensive purposes.
GRANTS army viii hardly dare to proceed
much further south with the precArious line Of q
single railroad for the conveyance of supplies,
HIS purpose, evidently, is to occupy the atten-
ton Of our army, while they are preparing the
formidable land and water expedition, which,
under MCCLERNAND and PORTER, viii sweep
down with the arst food, to get in rear of OuI
troops snd strike At the heart Of the State, be-
fore they eSn be successfully opposed.
Descending the Mississippi river, there is nc
point in wet weather, between FriAr's point
and the Yazoo river, where they can land
and establish = base of operations. Enter
ing the mouth Of the YRzoo, however

some nearly to the left bank Of the river, and
here beyond a question their grand attempt vii
be made. They avoid Vicksburg, by stopping
short Of it, and while the " iron clsds +" engage
the batteries Of that city, their army viii attempt
to establish themselves securely within forty
miles of Jackson.
Our duty in the premises then becomes plain
We must fortify the hills Of the YsEoO in such
a manner as to ihwsrt their schemes; cOneen,
trats an army At the threatened point, cause the
heights to bristle with artillery, and Obstruct the
river so as to render the passage Of it az uttsi
impOssibility. All this is entirely feasible. II
can be done if we put our hands to the work
The rivers are Itil low and the grand expedition
is yet in 3 state Of preparation. We have time
to meet and avert the evil, but none to spare

The Aspinwal mail steamer Ariel, Commander
