The gipsies are strange and peculiar
race. They are presumed to have sprung
from . people belonging to Egypt, aud
hence their name; for If you cut OF the
initial letter L from Egypt, you have the
"gyp' which the common toncue, in Eng
lish, has elongated into gyps, gypsss and
gipstes. Whether i,eir ancestors ever be.
held Egypt or not tae Gypsy race is very
much the same n over the world; and it
you see the crs..ares vagabondizing in
England, prowling about more boldly in
pain. and Stunned as desperadoes in
Germany, You still recognize their com
mon identity We have often studied them
in all these countries. We have read
books about Il EN- without number. We
have listened to wondrous stories Of their
skill aud beauty and chivalry, just as we
have listened to similar stories abou, the
American Indians but alas ! let US frank
ly confess that we have always found such
narratives, both about Indians and Gipsies,
pure fragments Of the imagination.
Honestly speaking, the Gipsies are a
dirty, thieving. cruel, unromanlic coiec-
ton Of human beings. We have never
seen handsome Gipsy ,e,. We do not
believe there is such phenomenon. and
we consider all accounts to that effect
humoug. They are, essentially, disre-
pu,nble and dangerous class. They nre
always periidous. They are commonly
disgusting, see them in what phase Of their
nomadic life You may. They never in
spired in US, even in our most charitable
moments, atty feeling bu. one Of pity and
contempt. They ever seem to us as some
thing between the American Indian and
tho Eastern Sepoy, with all the cunning
Of the one and the malignity OF the other
and we have heartily laughed at those
who, depending upoh books for their in
formation, have linked with The idea OF q
Gipsey so much that is kindly and aifec.
tionate, SO much that is chivalric and
exalted. t..G

tion that each captive should pay into the

It was finally determined that one among

wounded and brought in q prisoner, and
1 understand that Bragg of ga little
more grape" notoriety, was also a pris-
oner.
I came across an acquaintance oil
mine from Franklin, st. Mary's Parish.
La, among the wounded. He told
me that they (the rebels) had 10000
men in the battle, with JEFF. Davis,
Beauregard, Johnston, Hardee, and
Ruggles, their best Generals. They
gave their men whiskey and gunpow-
der, and the men not having had any
for some time, it made them crazy
They made some desperate charges,
but shot too high, both with musketry
and artillery, while our men made every
shot tell. Our regiment lost FIVE men.
The mail is going to start soon and i
must close. This is a sheet that was
found on the ground. Ny love and
respects to all.
