Difference in our favor, 1853
When 1t is considered that the rebel army
opposed TO Casey's brigade was 60,000,. and
that the troops they assailed we're raw and
cndisiplined, our victory looks the more cred
table and decided.
FUGITIVE GovERNoRs.-Fiver rebel Gov
ernors are now absent from their posts, wan
derlng up and down the country, in search
OF employment-Rector OF Arkansas, Milton
of Florida, Moore OF Louisiana, jackson of
Missouri, and Harris of Tennessee.
Those churches in Washington which
have been fitted up as hospitals, have had
temporary floors laid above the pews, which
consequently will not be defaced or injured
The Easements have been fitted up for cook
ing, &c.
The gentlemen who were so much
alarmed lest the Union soldiers should treat
the New Orleans females impohtely, may
have their apprehensions excited in behalf
of the Charleston ladies. The Mercury
gives bad account of the chivalry. 1t
says:
at has repeatedly happened within the
last few days that ladies Lave been rudely
accosted and insulted BY soldiers IN the pub
lie thorouohfares, IN some instances out
RACES OF the NEST fragrant character have
oeen committed with perfect impunity, by
men wearing the uniform of the Southern
volunteers"
-Parson Brownlow said in bis recent New
York speech:
The soldiers brought with them from the
battle of Manassas the heads of the Union
men that were killed, and held them up and
waved them, and showed them as the heads
OF the d d Yankees they had captured.
This is the secession spirit of the South. The
spirit OF the vile, untutored, savages. The
spirit OF murder-of assassnation-it is the
spirit OF hell, and yet you have men IN the
North who sympathize with these murderers
MATTERS ON THE LOWER MIss1ss1p-
PA New Orleans letter in the N Y.
Post reports the destruction of three plan
tations up the river owned by guerrilla
captains. The dwellings, negro quarters
and other out-buildings, as well as fences,
ware burned to the ground, and the Or
ange groves destroyed with the ak, so
that they are among the things that were.
The inhabitants of the vicinity are more
rejoiced over the destruction than the |
Federals.
These guerrillas were terror to the
country. There were large number of
negroes taken with the horses, mules. and
other live stock. The negroes beg to be
retained in the service of our army, but
Gen. Butler already had more than he
could well care for, and it was uncertain
what disposal he would make of them
The writer says the public sentiment of
New Orleans is becoming more favorable
to the Union.
A Mobile correspondent of Mississippi
pi paper amuses his readers by telling
them that Gen. Butler does not dare to 90
about the city without guard of 100
men that he is SO fearful of the CITY be-
ing recaptured that he will not permit
Com. Farragut to coup the river with his
ieet; that 5000 men are provided with
arms, securely secreted, which he hints
are to be used in a rising against the Fed
eral troops; that no Federal solder or
officer is permitted to ride in the horse
cars If there are any ladies in the vehicle,
md that Gen. Buffers men are dying at :
fearful rate. A pretty good string of
les, certainly.
The rurest heart Is that which dares to .
all itself impure. u
