From the Mobile News, August 81
We hear a multitude of reports horribly detri-
mental to the character and patriotism Of the
people IN many parts of Mississippi, and in some
portions of North Alabama. Some Of these re-
ports are too disgracetul for print. Are our peo-
pie gone stark mad under the pressure of local
and temporary reverses, and the potent influence
of fear for their property Every sane man
must pronounce them oereft of their senses, and
judcially blind not to see that TO talk about ma
King peace now, and PROPOSE terms to the enc
my by which to save their slaves, lands and
goods, is simply the proposition of the prey to
the devourer. Why, the object of this Lincoln
war is to rob you of your slaves and confiscate
your goods to pay the Yankee war debt, and to
redeem his countless green.backs. And you think
tPat Lincoln, and Seward, and Greeley, and Chase,
and Loyejoyand Butler,and Milroy, and Burnside
will listen to you? Idiots! Where are the men
of spirit, and influence in the neighborhoods from
which these fatuOus reports come up like evil
spirits to darken the glowing picture Of southern
tortltuue, consistency and courage ? Where are
you, gentlemen, who have been accustomed to
make your district towns and woods ring with your
eloquent voices when you urged your election TO
Congress and other offices as the condition of the
salvation Of the country History is making her
record of you now and as you demean your
selves in this hour of trial so will you be rated
and esteemed when these clouds shall have passed
away.
From the Mobile News, August 4th
The telegraph informed us yesterday that an
improved tone of feeling prevails in Mississippi.
We are glad to hear this and wish it may be
rue, for the intelligence we have lately been re-
2eying from that state is of very unpleasant
character AS specimen we give briet extract
rom letter written by young lady there to her
ather in Mobile
There is rumor that some of the farmers
IRE going to keep their wheat until they can get
gold for 1t that is, they refuse confederate money
several of the rich men carrying off their ne
yroes and families ! have heard several say they
would take the oath of allegiance for the sake of
protecting their property, but they will not con-
'ider it binding. Mrs. g., however, says she will
lot take it to preserve property nor for any other
reason"
ave regret" continues the editor" that the
lady referred to has no children (; there is need
Of more of that STOCK. From accounts which
reach u.s. it would seem that the women are the
only men left in Mississippi. Nor are these ac,
counts altogether new thing, but merely the Sc
lue to the story Of the Supineness of the stay-a-
home population there, which we heard long since
'ut were unwilling to believe in its full extent.
" hat blush of shame must mantle the cheeks
If the true Mssissippans in camp when they
ear such reports of the conduct of their broth
rs 1t IS not too late for them to retrieve
heir characters, and We are anxious to be con-
rmed in the feeble hope that they are beginning
