The Effects Of War upon the South.
Some idea Of the effects of this rebellion
upon the misguided people Of the South
may be gathered from the brief extrac,

a transfer Of tho war to Northern soil, as
was promised them by their leaders that i.
should be.
There is portion Of this State so devas
ted by the civil war as to be practically
abandoned by the foot Of man. The men
are slumberins at Shiloh, Carinth and Stone
River the servants have gained their free

more remote and quiet precincts. Falling
in behind the retiring footsteps of humanity
comes the four. footed beasts and creeping
things. The fox makes his burrow under
the ruined dwellings where happy people
once dwell The serpent crawls under the
floor Of tho church and school house. The
squirrel chatters and builds his nest upon
the locust tree in ) the old yard, once noisy
with the mirth Of children. The gum is

whistles from the ridsepole Of the cabin
The wild bee seeks . storehouse for his hon

The New Political Dortors.

The partizen course Of the political Val
landighammers is by nothing so we'll illus
tratsd a. the stroy Of the new doctor'' who
was calldd in to prescribe for very sick
child. The "old doctor" had been dosing
the child with his nostrums for 4 long time;
but, such was the wrong effect, the child
continued to grow worse instead Of better -
The anxious parent at length resolved t.
consult tho new doctor. The new doctor
came. looked at the patient, looked wise, and
opened his mouth
"Why, my dear SIR" said he, "this old
docter is Ounce AN ass "a id fool!
lie don't know the first thing about doctor
ing! Here he's been giving this patien.

He's a most unmitigated blockasad AN

this ID old doctors miserable quackery
He don't know how to ductor cat! Hs'a
the most ignorant, imbecile, fanat,cal blum

-" &c. &c.
And in this style the new doctor went On
danouncing the old doctor, cursing and
swearing about what he lad done, and
damning his imbecility, ignorance, and all
that, but never saying a word about wha,
he proposed to do to cure the sick child
The Vallandighammers have done moth
ing but denounce tho President, and curse
and swear in the ]oudest and savagcst man
ner abeut his manner Of saving the republic
The people agree with them that the Pres
