all the rancor of baseless aristocracv and
| sentiment that grows sour and malignant as
1t grows old and incapable of making its
hatred effective. This is the seat of vii.
liam and Mary College, where Professor
Beverley Tucker instilled State Rghts.ism
into the minds of the Southern youth and
| whore ten years ago, he wrote the Partisan
Leader, as manual and programme for the
| reasonable conspiracy which was even
then maturing in the Southern mind. The
whole tone of the place is false, un-Ameri-
can aud nti-Republican, and it is not at all
surprising that it should have been hotbed
OF Secession.
The ladies Of the place are especially and
intensely vehement i'll their avowal of Se-
cesslon sentiment. One, "a widow. whose
husband used to trade largely in New York
and who told me that for years she wore no
dresses but those that came from Stewards
- after having her house crowded for
days with rebel officers and soldiers, who
spent the day las one of the servants told
mel III cussing and swearing " at the men
-- was greatly Mortified to hear profane Ian
guagc upon the lips of Union troops, and
applied to have the guard doubled, to pre-
vent the soldiers from dropping into the
kitchen and interrupting her servants at
their work For the first day or two none
OF the ladies i'll town would go to the hos
pitfalls to look after their own wounded pre-
tending that thcy were afraid to go into the
streets among the Northern soldiers; and
when they were finally given to understand
that they must give some care to these
wounded men, some half-dozen of them
marched into tho hospitals with secession
badges on their breast believe they be.
came gradually tanned down under the vig-
orous and energetic let-alono policy which
our troops, by common consent, adopted
toward them, and yesterday | saw quite q
number of them parading the streets very
much as If nothing unusual were going on.
| have detected not q few, moreover, from
half open window blind, holding furtive
conversations with the Yankee sentry at the
door for tho moment our army entered
the town, a guard was placed at every
door, and no person was permitted to enter
without express permission of the occu-
pant. 1t is not easy to say to what these
stolen interviews may eventually lead. Ono
thing is very clear - the "hest blood of
Virginia is quite capable of still further
Improvement
There is one point desire to impress
upon the people of the North. The inhab-
itants of this part of the Peninsula are on
the verge of starvation. The Southern
soldiers had absolutely swept them bare of
everything, and now tho National troops
come to gather up the gleanings. Their
corn, their cattle, everything they had for
themselves and for their slaves has been
consumed they have no crops for the COM
ing season and their condition is truly de-
plorable. 1t would be great boon to them
if trade could be speedily opened between
them and the North.

TO MY MOTHER.
By ELEANOR.


am sitting alone, tonight, Mother, and dreaming
of other days,
And memorys music is yelling up in soothing We
sorrowful lays.
feel thy breath touching my cheek agaI, thy warn
lips upon my brow,
l know thou hast loved me as no other has, as nc
other loves me now. .
Like the low, sweet tones of angels voice
through the shadowy lapse of years,
The memory of thy love returns amid lifes waste
of scFrow and tears. ..
! ana sitting alone, tonight Mother, at war with
murmuring soul,
With sprit-rebelling may not crush, longing
may not control =
longing for something worthier to fill the hearts
unsatis6ed void, ...
A friendship that time nor misfortune might chill
unchanged and unalloyed- -
A friendship that twining among the flowers of the
blithe hearts summer-light,
Would closer cling to the withered stalk on Adver-
sity's winter night.
am sitting alone, tonight, Mother, alone in a
stranger land
And wondering if am missed at home from the
little household band -
II ehask would burn with roster hue, or an eye
with deeper light -
If heart would beat with happier throb - could
be with you tonight!
What n weary age since any have degned smile
or welcome to give,
And my heart has grown dreary and cheeress and
cold as chilly December eve.

Contrast Between Freedom and

Mass chusetts and South Carolina may
fairly be taken as the types between the
inhabitants of the Free and the Slave States.
To exemplfy the difference we present the
following contrast as developed by the cen
sus returns of 1850, those of 1860 not hav-
ing been pu ublished, ewing to some unac-
countable delay,
In Massachusetts, the number of males
between the age of Ii and 20 were ascel-
tanned to amount to 322 ,942 and in South
Carolina to 81, ,302 souls. This is the mill
tary power of each State.
The increase in the population in Mas
saehnsettG, from 1900 to 1916, was kl I'd
per cent, and in South Carolina the white
pOpUlation increased Ola per cent. From
so to 1923 the increases III Massachusetts
was Copper cent? and in South Carolina
I0.s5 ner cent. From 1910 to $780, the
increase in Massachusetts, was 1853 pei
cent; cen and in South Carolina, SOC per cent
From 1880 to le4O, the population in Mas
sachusetts increased 2O-9Z ner eeh''i ana y
South Carolina, 0-47 per cent. FROM lo4'
To- 1850, the increase in Massachusetts wa,
35-l7 per cent; and in South COrlina, ~
per cent In South Carolinain 1880 there
were 5,S97 white adult males, who couic
neither read nor write, and 1887 Whit

favor of letting slavery alone, except where
1t came IN the way of the Union Let it
take care of itsolf but if it or anything
else should get in the way of the Union,
then 1t must go. More than 10000 of our
brave men had persisted in this war, and not

Instauces of Federal Atrocitv.

The Richmond correspondent of the Charl eston Courier has heard the following incidents, ilustra ting the hearcssness of the mercenary crew which Lincoln has sent to destroy the liberties of the Missourians
 "A regiment of Dutch soldiers, under brutal officer, visited the house of prominent citizen in the northern part of the state. The citizen had absented himself some time before, aud was in the rebel army under Price. In his flight he could not remove anything, and left behind him his only daughter, modest, gentle little girl of fifteen years, whose very youth and innocence he believed would prove her best protection. The federal sol. didrs, it seemed, surrounded the house, and found only the child at home With refinement of cruelty, they had her ayorie piano moved into the yard anC then forced her, at the point of the bayo- net, to sit down and play lively air to the conha- grafton of her home. Terrified by the trial, she has since sunk under it. These facts were com municated to the relator by letter. from trust worthy source. He told it, he said, to show why the Missourians wanted to hang all the federal prisoners who fell in their power. Another well authenticated instance of federal nickeaness is that (recently published in the papers, in which number of young ladies, including sister of Gov. Jackson, were butchered in cold blood, by com pany of Lincoln soldiers. These wretches marched up to the house and fired volley through the win dows
 sh!l esother illustration of this atrocious spirit is related by Mary lander, just oyer from Balti- more. Ladies--the nobest and best of Mary land, suspected of secession proclivites, are forced by Gen. Dix's orders, when they leave the city, to undeago the most insulting examinations. This work is understood to e performed by disreputable women, but there are authenticated ipstapces where it has been done by federal officers, dis gu;sed as females, Comment is unnecessary The devil himself Wond be at s wits end to de- wise more eifectual measures to enrage tLe earts of southern men.

Brutal and Bloody Manifesto from 5lm Lane--He Discloses the New Negro Pol- icy of LincoIn

We find the following in the Chicago Tribune, given as the substance ot speech made by Jim Lane, at Chicago, on the l2d ut 1t is the most remarkable and start ling manifesto that has been put forth with in the last sixty days Says the Tribune;
 The general expressed his profound grat itude for the reception and the ardor ,1,! ana enthusiasm manifested. However much ne might be delighted, he appreciated the fact l. that this enthusiasm was not on account oi Jim Lane, but the fact that Jim Lane was the advocate of crushing out this rebelilon' so that we should never have another.
 The uppermost fact in every loyal man 5 mind was that this rebellion must be crush cd in some way, He knew there was not T loyal man present who was unwilling to lay down his own life. and sacrifice even kis own family to accomplish this result. There was no resolution so strong among all true

Mrs. Fremont, allow me to say to you that in my judgment, madam, your proper place is at the head of your husbands household at St. Louis, and this intermedd,ng with the affairs of thu State is, to say the least of 1t, in very had taste on your part; and, in conclusion, wish you to understand that here is where We make men and unaaae them" To which Mrs, Fremont instantly replied; "Mr. Blair, permit me to say to you that 1 have seen men of your making, and if they are the best you can do, would advise vou n quit the business
