SOUTHERN LApIEs.-.The Union OIL

SOUTHERN LADIEs.--.The Union OH
GERS and soldiers have had their estimate
of the ladies af the South considerably
taken down by what they have seen OF
them. A recent letter from an officer in
our army in the southwest, draws this
picture of the southern ladies:
81 have talked with g great many of
the women who came to Rousseau for their
ratioas, and find them in most cases huff
terent 10 the return OF their hege lords,
There is a startling amount of immorali-
ty among them, In their habits, such as
smoking, chewing, and dipping they arc
most disgusting. | was sitting in the tent
of Capt. Williams, at Rousseau's day
or two since, admirng the delicate, well
turned features of woman who, had she
been educated, would have been thought
beautiful, and was about to express some
such idea to Captain Williams, when she
turned her head to one side, and, with the
air and appearance of apracticed chewer,
spirited stream of saliva from her thin
lips, and then, throwing away the tobacco
she had been chewing; took from her poclI
ct II small vial of snuff, and with spoon
shaped bit Of wood filled her mouth with
the filthy drug. Major, allow me, said
another young and beautiful damsel to
friend of mine who had just filled his pipe.
AT the same time she took cob pipe from
her pocket and filled it with the Majors
strong smoking tobacco, and pulled away
with the most perfect, but by no means
charming, nonehalance. The ignorance
of these people is as disgusting as their
manners. | am told by some members of
the Christian Commission that they have
ten times the number of applications from
slaves for reading matter, primmers, etc.,
that they have from the white citizens.
At the headquarters Of Gen. Rousseau, at
Cowan, rations are issued to 235 persons
daily, and the picture | have drawn of
them will apply to all have seen in this
vicinity. / have seen no better class of
chlvalry yet. | suppose and hope they

publish this morning, by request, the
monthly report of the Sanitary Commits

information in regard to th- practical
workings of the Commission, which can
not fail to interest the loyal public. These
monthly reports do much to encourage

On hand at close of month, $500 81

the country children in picking and dry

arm sings are also desired. Two favors
we would ask, not so much for the soldiers
directly, but for the general good of the
cause. First, that all our CORES pondents
would send invoices of contents IN every
package, with the name of the town and
society Or individual sending the gift.
This ensures accuracy. A letter should
also be mailed to us announcing that the
gift is dispatched.
Five barrels came IN to us one day last
week, of which three had no invoices
Three barrels mad been announced as on
their way, and we may safely suppose
that these are the three, but we cannot
be sure without II ''List of contents with
names of donors. The second favor is,

pains to circulate them widely. We
should be glad to send to every person IN
the land, were it possible, but this cannot
be, and we must therefore trouble our
friends to help US in this way.
eau we ever have enough? We do not
know, but it seems day impossible to
doubt that such good will as exists, win
find the way to success. Government is
more nearly equal to the demand with ev

brlghtens for our work as well as for theirs.

INrERNATIoNAL Law GONE TO THE

law has recently been decided in favor of
Mr.. Hilyard, an attache Of the Brush
embassy IN Paris; Mr. Hlyard keeps
dog, in respectof which he lately re-
celved tax, gatherer's paper claiming a
duty Of los, IN pursuance of the new act
rendering dogs liable to taxation. Mr..
HIlyard claimed exemption on the ground
that inasmuch as foreign minister's dogs
were not taxed in England, his dog ought
to be free on the principle of reciprocity.
The head of TIE gathering department
thought this a good plea, but the question
was nevertheless brought before court of
law for decision. At the hearing, NJ. De
Guigne, the Judge advocate, was of opin-
ion that the reciprocity doctrine would
not hold water; but he nevertheless thought
that Mr. Hilyard's dog was entitled to
repUdlate the tax, because be inhabited

nlzed fiction Of International law, is Brit

view, decided that Mr. Hilyard's dog

| of the JEFF Davis correspondence, re-
Gently captured done from James Harmon
of Chicago, and the other from John
Brodhead of Pennsylvania. ...
Chicago, Jan. IA, 1861.
Hon. JEFFERSON DAVIS Dear Sir :,
Though have not the pleasure of a per-
sonal acquaintance with you, yet | hope
You will do me the justice to think that
feel great interest in the future of this
nation.
For the past fifty years it has guided
the brightest hopes, not only of the Amer
lean people, but of all mankind. That
| responsible station is about to be trans
ferred to the fifteen southern states.
will state few facts as | think, rather
than arguments.
These fifteen states will secede. There
will be no coercion by the federal govern
ment. Then, these fifteen states will
adopt the present federal constitution,
with such amendments as clearly define
its spirit on slavery and the revenue
laws. | know from your recent speeches
that you can suggest with great ability
such amendments.
When the southern states are estab-
llshed on this basis, Indiana and all the
states west will come into this new con-
federacy. Its greatness would then be
established both at home and abroad -
Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York would
come in as soon thereafter as would be
desirable
What the south ought to do and can do,
is first: to establish the greatest nation
that can be established on this continent.
Then she can get at her convenience any
surrounding country. Free trade and di-
rect taxation is the true principles of gov
eminent. In attaining this point great
caution should be taken in forming en-
barrassing treaties with England and
France.
Crittenden's and Douglass amendments
to the constitution will do, but the oppo-
sition of the Republicans will keep them
out of reach. The south will then get in
their stead, perhaps, what is better.
The Republicans now think the south
will slough eff with all the political dis
eases that aflict the country, and will
then leave them in the full enjoyment of
all the vitality the nation has, while the
reverse is the fact. The south will take
with it all the vital political force of the
country, leaving the north with its politi-
cal diseases.
think we have reached the point that
if our present government is to be con-
tlnued at all, it must be re-set-up by the
southern states. The best men in the
south should look to this end The Hon.
Elijah Hiss of Kentucky is the most Ca
oable and reliable man in that state to en-
ost to reach such result. | know him
veil, but have no evidence of his present
opinions | hope and think the southern
people will act with caution in all they do.
# so, in few weeks we shall have moth
ng to contend for in the north but the re-
publican platform but few will contend
or that.
Yours truly,

PHILADELPHIA DRUNK.-A private
letter from Philadelphia SAYS:

but ward at time. We draft by wards
and those who are drafted have to stand
treat on account of their misfortune, and
those who escape have to stand treat on
account of their good fortune. The re-
suit is, We get inebriated by wards, and
