feeling 1t is as old as the country. 1t was just as
marked in the army OF the Revolution a. Is IN our
armies to-day. Indeed, tho Puritan stock was
al ways powerful, but never popular. Il made Its

them to be small In email things; but the generosity
Of their nature makes them more liberal in large
things, a. their schools, academies, colleges aud

people who Islander them. Time is money In Now
England; time 10 nothing In Alabama. Much has

England they take 1t out OF their own. Work, In
New-England, means simply honesty. In the
South there two classes, one having rights and
the other mono, and injustice becomes an element 10
Southern law. The Soutberner puts his heart in

courageous who arc Obliged to be. Courage is habit.
II society il half civilized and law 10 weak, men

whore men are not obliged to defend themselves,

Qlsndors wsre the hardest to get into . fight |
but the hardest TO meet in @ fight. Both
North and South will learn something from this
war. Men who have met the Southerners in battle |
will not deny that there courageous men there;
nor will Southern men who have met the Massachu-
setts regiments upon the field ever hereafter speak
of the cowardice of the Yankee. New England has

England for the race. There 10 not room enough in
the nest for tho bird, but it must fly out. They
spread all over the land bankers, brokers, railway
managers, ship captains, merchants, generals,
judges, minister's schoolmasters, wherever work is
wanted, there tho Yankee goes. They send to New
England for men OF brains for the reasOn that
they send TO the mountains for tinberbecause they
grow there. Yet none tho less do they glover at |
him and resent his intrusion. Buttbc Yankee keeps
on calm and persevering stalking brains against pre-.

they want to denounce him. they have send for AN
apostate Yankee to do IL for them. IGreat applause
