will think worthy Of place in your

Society funds are exhausted, and efforts
are being made by the ladies to replen-

read at every freside, and touch every
heart with tenderness, and wet every
eye with tears for our brave soldier
boys.
We are too prone to forget oar solumn

The Administrators whip.

We take the following from the Boston
journal :: st-
"The Administration has decided not to re-
tain any officers in the army whose views on
the war policy is not in consonance with its
own. Gases still continue to be reported for
dismissal, for the use of what is termed dis
loyal or reasonable language.
Thus does the Administration snap its
whip at the manhood of the army and its
officers. It is as much worse than the whip
of the plantation oversecr, as the manhood of
the white man is better than the body of the
negro. IF there be any thing ahead of this
in the refinement of despo.ism, We can not
conceive it. It is enough to make a patriot
shudder at what is before us if this steady
march of Administrator despotism be not re-
buked-sternly rebuked at the ballot-box.
If such be the tyranny over our officers,
what must it be over the poor soldiers who
have to expiate the crime of having an opin-
ion in the guard-house, or with ball and chain?
How long will it be at this gate before the
private citizen will be forced by the bayonet
to the present condition of the private soldier!

say at least, is curious. if true, and we see nc

at about that very date. Shooting helpless
old men and women, and violating daughters
of Union men, hanging the fathers in sight

"curdle the blood of the reader. Our cor
