LATEST FROM THE SOUTH.

Mr. Westbrook informs us that in his trav-

whole record Of human suffering. Families
are merciles6ly broken up. When the war
first broke cut numbers Of persons lett their
homes and flni]ies to swell the ranks Of the
rebel army. Families OF several brothers
have gone and left their wives aud children in
the care of one Of the number to take care Of
them, and so all through the South. Whole
neighborhoods Of men hnye gone to the wal,
leaving one man In each community to super
rise and care Tor their families, a1ld see TINT
condition Of society when Davis Issued his
last proclamation for the rigid enforcement Of
the CONSUMPTION. Besides those Of the proper
age for military dnty, numbers of boys under
: that age, and men over the age, had gone; so
that III the districts inhabited BY the poorer
farmers, very few males we're left at home to
provide for the women and children. But
when the last sweeping proclamation came ont

communities. The agents Of the Government

THE STATE REGISTER.

Some days ago, re respectfully asked
the Stole Register-the State Copperhead
organ, Mt springfcld-to furnish us with
the text Of the amendments to the Federal
Constitution, for the better security and
more certain spread Of human slavery,
which the professea advocates of:and loud
brawlers for the "Constitution-as-it-is,' y
have recently recommended in as many as
four Of their authorized State Conventions
in the West. Our readers arc commenda-
bly, anxious to see what improvements
upon the Constitution that Washington,
Madison and their con,peers framed, the
fellows like Vnllandigham, Dick Richard.
son and spread-Eagle Merrick propose to
make. Again we ask-will the Register
crafty us by complying with our eminently
proper request?.
