 EDITOR I. T.: As make it practice to pay all my honest debts,mv boy, and have new CT fapellated person of African descent. could not properly come under the head of /" Chivalry." in an American dictionary, though l might possibly come under it's feet in the /" Union s.It-was," yet have that in my na- ture which revolts at the thought of war against woman, and am sufficiently chivalrous to, defend any cause whose effects are crinoline The bell shaped structure called Women, my boy, wa created expressly to conquer unresis ting adversaries; to win engagements without receiving blow and to do pretty much as she pleases, by pleasing pretty much as she does. She is Q harmless creation of herself. my boy and to war directly against her, because she may chance to influence her male friends to war against us. is about as sensible as it would be to execrate our natter because gust of wind blows our new beaver into the mud. If the natter had not made the hat. the wind could not have it of, and if God had not made woman she could not encourage the we'll known Southern Confectionery against us but shall We turn enemy to the natter or to the woman on this account? Not if we know ours.lves, my boy, and recognize the highmoral spirit of justice observable in the Constitution.
 Being thus possessed of a reverence for that sex whose bonnets remind me of cake. baskets cannot refrain from frowning indignantly upon that horrible spirit of national tyranny which has inspired Sergeant O'Pake of the demoralized Mackerel Brigade, to issue the following
 GENERAL ORDER.
 For the purpose ofsimplifying national strat. egy to those conservative women of America, who while engaged in the pursuit of happiness as guaranteed by the Constitution desire to visit the Southern Confederacy, it is ordered that they shall answer the following paternal questions befole passing the lines of the Mack. erel brigade.
 l. For how many years has your age been Just Twenty-:wo?
 II. How many novels do you consume pel week?
 III. Were you ever complained of to the authorities for inordinats pianof forta playing 1 ". Do you work slippers for the heathen It 50, for what he. then! VI. What newspaper aMarriapes and Deaths" do you consider the bestl VII. In selecting church to attend what colored prayer.book do you 6nd most bocom ing t. yonr complexioni
 | VIII. How much display of neck do 70, consider necessary to indicate a mo6esty whicl shrinks from showing an ankle:
 K. Did yon ever stoop to follyf or is i folly alone that stoops to youi
 X. Did you ever eat as much as you wanted at dinner when members of the opposite se, were opposite?
 It is also ordered. that no female visitor [. the celebrated Southern Confederacy shall car ry more than eight large trunks and a bcnne, box for each month in the year; and that n female shall pass the line whose dimensions i full dress exceed the ordinary space betwee two pickets, as the latter will. on no accoun be permitted to edge away from their station in this trying crisis in the history of our di. tracted country.
