Modesty is jewel which shines with
singular lustre in the character of the rebel
"chivalry" The editor of the Richmond
Enquirer, whoever that person may be,
displays the possession of unusual modesty
in the following:
We have committed many errors In our
treatment of the Yankees. Not the least
has been to regard them as something bet
ter than they really are. They are by ma
ture menials, and fitted only for mental
duties. They are in open and fragrant in
surrection against their natural lords and
masters, the gentlemen of the South. In
the exercise of their assumed privileges,
they deport themselves with all the ex-
travagant airs, the insolence, the cruelty,
the cowardice, and love of rapine, which
have ever characterized the revolt of slaves
The former leniency of their masters only
serves to aggravate the terocity of their
natures.
When they are again reduced to subjec-
ton and taught to know their place, we
must take care to put such trammels about
them that they will never have an oppor-
tunity to play these tricks again.

che Value of Discipline.

In the battle of Fredericksburg, Gen.
Sykes's second brigade (regulars), then
under command of Major Andrews, was
ordered to take particular position at
midnight preceding the terrible engage
ment, and to hold it at all hazards. 1t
crossed the river, arrived at the point, and
the whole command were ordered to lie
upon the ground. At daybreak the cause
OF this last order became apparent. The
brigade was within eighty yards of a stone
wall, behind which were stationed the rebel
sharpshooters, and not far behind them
thirty-six rebel cannon, entirely command
ing the position thus occupied by our troops
if they stood up. They were protected
Qaying DOWN by ridge Immediately IN
their front, hardly higher than that thrown
up by a deep wagon rut. AS long as they
laid perfectly still, it was, however, suffi-
cient cover for them. Thus the brigade
held the position for twenty-four hours, not
firing gun, but suffering to the extent of
one-tenth the whole number killed and
wounded by the rebel sharpshooters, who
picked off every man of them raising his
person but high enough to permit him even
to light pipe. The discipline and gal
lantry thus shown by this brigade, are we'll
nigh unexampled in the history of modern
warfare Washington Ere. Star.

A Federal Officer Seduced.

Says the Lincoln (Illinois) Herald:
Many of ourreaders will doubtless recollect
a Mr.. j. J. Searight, who, some time since,
was engaged in the grocery and provision
business in this place, in partnership with
Mr.. VIM. ID. Harlow. 1t will also be re-
membered that at the commencement
of hostilities, he enlisted in company
forming in this county tor the 32d Regi-
ment of Illinois volunteers, and received a
Lieutenant's commission. He was gener-
ally esteemed as an excellent officer, and
did his whole duty in several of the SAN
culinary engagements in the Southwest
In an unlucky hour he met young lady
of rebel proclivities, but extremely beauti-
full at her home near Nashville, Tennessee.
Suffice it to say that they met and loved.
All the time that the Lieutenant could
spare from his duties was spent in the So
ciety of the charming secesh siren, and she
as eagerly returned his burning passion.
Lietenant Starlight time and again offered
his resignation-he wished to leave the
tented field and dwell in the rosy bowers
of love-but, unlike his love, it was not
accepted. Love at length conquered all
his scruples-he deserted! and succeeded
in escaping beyond the federal lines with
the young lady. The Southern belle, who
thus seduced the Lieutenant, is enormous
ly wealthy, being the possessor of an am
pie fortune in sterling gold. They also
succeeded in running the blockade at
Charleston, and arrived at Havana last
Christmas day, when they were married,
and are now living, it is said, in happiness
and elegance.
Whether such a man is the more to be
blamed or pitied, we know not. Love has
seduced from honor and duty many wiser
men than Lieutenant Starlight. 1t is a
restless and overwhelming sentiment, and
the best of mortals commit follies and ex-
travagancies, and even crimes, when in
volved in the silken meshes
Yes, it was love, if though of tenderness,
Tried in temptation, strongest by distress,
Unmoved by absence, firm in every cline,
And yet o, more than ALL untried by time

A Tribute TO Our Irish Soldiers.

An unwilling compliment to the gal
lantry of the Irish soldiers in our army has
been extracted from the Richmond CORES
pondent of the London Times, who has at
last found something worthy of praise on
the Union side of this war. This remark
able person, who has hitherto bestowed all
his honeyed phrases upon the rebel Gene
rails, was present at the battle of Freder-
lcksburg, where he observed the Federal
attack from the protecting lines of the re-
bel entertainments. He seems to have
been peculiarly impressed by the dashing
bravery of MEAGHER's brigade, (which he
speaks as follows:
To the Irish division, commanded by
General Meagher, was principally commit
ted the desperate task of bursting out of
the town of Fredericksburg, and forming,
Under the whitening fire of the Confederate
batteries, to attack Marys Heights, lower
ing Immediately in their front. Never at
Fonsenoy, at Albuera, or at Waterloo, was
more undoubted courage displayed by the
sons OF Erin, than during those six frantic
dashes which they directed against the al
most impregnable position of their foe.
* After witnessing the gallantry
and devotion exhibited by these troops,
and viewing the hillsides for acres strewn
with their corpses thick as autumnal leaves,
the spectator can remember nothing but
their desperate courage, and regret that it
was not exhibited in hOlier cause. That
any mortal men could have carried the po-
sition before which they were wantonly
sacrificed, defended as it was, it seems to
me idle for moment to believe. But the
bodies which lie in dense masses within
forty yards Of the muzzles of Colonel Wal
tons guns, are the best evidence of what
manner of men they were who pressed on
to death with the dauntlessness of race
which has gained glory on thousand
battle-6elds, and never more richly de-
served it than at the foot of St Mary's
Heights, on the 18th day Of Decem-
Der, 1862.

Death Of Prof. Robinson.

From the " Y Evening Post, 18th ult
One of the most accomplished scholars
and distinguished travellers of the country
Professor Edward Robinson-died in
this city last Tuesday evening in the 69th
wear of his age. He was a native OF
SouthingtOn, Connecticut, and was born on
the 10th of April, 1894. He exhibited an
early fondness for the classics, graduated
at Hamilton College, Clinton, New York,
in his 29th year, and remained in the col
lepe for some time as tutor, marrying Il
Miss Kirkland, who only lived year or
two after her marriage In1S21 the young
widower- then but 81 years old-went to
Andover, hoping to publish new edition
of "Uomer" Here he made the acquain-
lance of Prof Smart, studied Hebrew with
him and soon was able to teach it. In
1926 he went to Europe, and travelled four
years, marrying while abroad Miss Theresa
A. L. Won Jakoh, i; lady OF extraordinary
literary attainments. Returning to Ando-
yer in 1880, he was appointed Professor
Extraordinary of Sacred Literature, but
three years later moved to Boston, and in
1887 received similar appointment in the
Union Theological Seminary in this city, a
position he held up to the time OF his
death. Before entering upon his dutle:
he, however, visited Palestine with Dr. Ell
Smith, and as late as 1S52-when fifty-nine
years old-made second visit, accom-
panied by the companion of his previous
tour. The results of his careful study o
the scenes and localities mentioned in Holy
| Writ are the splendid volumes with which
| his name and fame as an author are mos
closely associated" Biblical Researche
in Palestine" (which was published stimuli
taneously in Germany, England and Amer
lea in 1S4l. His later years were occu
pied in new work on the geography o
the "Holy Land" which will probably b.

HOST AND GUEST.

from the German.-For the Boston Postl
Sir host, Sir host I'm full of care, UE
My head doth swim, my blood doth boil );
For all, a maiden. tall and fair
My senses doth embroil
On me she proudly turns her back,
And vet her eye doth me attract;
And her sweet ruby lip!
"Then fill your glass, and never pine,
"There's health and courage in the wine
''In every drop you SIP"
Sir host what also troubles me,
I'm drafted for the war;
fear the vile Confederacy,
And fighting abhor!
stand aside, helpless wight,
While my dear maiden, in my sight
With epaulettes doth play!
''Then fill your glass, and never pine,
There is more virtue in the wine
Ethan epaulettes display"
Then must to my host confide-
I have not studied deep;
My books for maidens ''let slide"
And learning held quite cheap!
The doctors hat now charms me more
But all, l lack the needful lore,
And cannot win the prize!
"Then fill your glass and never pine.
There's erudition in the wine
GOOD wine makes cen fools wise"
Sir host, Sir host! all, what is this?
I'm destitute fcash
BY accident my purse I miss,
How shall make dash?
Thus far you've taught me how to steer,
Now, dearest landlord, help me here
Ofmoney I've no store
Then get you gone! your wife, at home,
with three-legged stool your head will
comb
There's help for you no more!"

The DesolatfOn of Northern Mis-
sIssippf.

Correspondence of the Missouri Democrat.
Except Mexico, Spain, and some remote
districts of the Roman States, l know of
no country whose desolate appearance and
lawless condition is a parallel to the pres
ent condition and appearance of Northern
Mississippi To realize this, one must ride
but eight or ten miles beyond the pickets
of the army Not with the army on its
march, nor with squads of cavalry, nor for
aging parties-fOr then the foragers and
stragglers that dart in and out of by-roads,
and in advance of you, to every farm, i'm
part some life to the scene; but like that
famous horseman of Jamess, alone. Then,
and only then, do you realize the effects OF
the war, and of that peculiar feature which
distinguishes this from all the wars OF late
days-guerilla warfare.
First you notice how silent the country
is, thoug Oh you ride for miles past fenced
fields, and catch glimpses Of houses now
and then, you hear none of the usual
sounds of country life, no lowing OF cattle,
nor neighing of horses, nor braying OF
mules, nor bleating of sheep, nor shout or
song of laborers in the fields. Everything
of the animal kind has long since been
driven off to the camps of one army or the
other. You ride to the summit OF the
highest hill and survey the country far and
wide, but in all the broad fields you see
no human being; the white men are prob
ably in lighthouses, sleeping Oft the effects
of their last nights ride with their guerilla
friends, and the blacks have gone to find
"Uncle Abraham and freedom.
The roads are as silent and deserted as
the fields. Mile after mile you ride, and
neither meet nor care to meet any one on
these solitary roads. On four-titths of the
plantations you pass, you see no living
soul. On some the doors and windows OF
the deserted houses stand open wide, but
there is nothing but emptiness within; and
on others nothing but the tall chimneys,
whitened by the flame, remain.
Such is the effect upon the country OF
guerilla warfare, :" for this desolation and
silence is not wholly attributable to the
presence of the Federal army. 1t IS the
people of the south that suffer from que
rillas, not the federal army. Under the
delusion that the whole north is about to
tumble into anarchy for want of cotton,
the guerillas burn the cotton, and ruin the
planter to prevent some northern man
from risking his money in precarious
speculation; this and the capture OF an oc-
casional struggling soldier, is the only harm
they do the north.

Letter from Memphis.
Correspondence Cincinnnti Commercial.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 26, II
CONTRABANDS

CONTRABANDS.
Persons who believe the President s
proclamation was intended for the benefit
of the negroes emancipated by it, will be
convinced on visiting this city, and max
ing few observations, that they are mis-
taken as to the object of the measure, or
that the object has not been attained.
There are not less than seven thousand
homeless and friendless negroes in this
city, brought here from Northern Missis,
sippi and Southern Tennessee. They are
housed or huddled together in sheds and
buildings vacated for their accommodation
like cattle in railroad cars. a more
dirty, ragged and squallid lot OF creatures
can scarcely be found in the wilds of Bor-
neo. And they have no ambition save to
excel each other in laziness, and-pardOn
the expression-lousiness. The sexes are
Unfortunately mixed-men, women and
children-who saw each other for the first
time when herded together for the enjoy
ment of the blessings of liberty.
Occasionally some of the male darkies
are called upon to work, but the majority
of them, at least during such weather as
the present, do nothing but eat, sleep, and
crawl about the buildings in which they
live. Intelligent contrabands are very
scarce among them. Now and then you
will meet one who has been a house-ser-
want or waiter, and who knows little of
what is going on in the outer world, but
they are nearly all common field hands,
whose knowledge is confined to the use of
the hoe and the pillow.
Citizens of Memphis say that great
many of the negroes now under govern
ment protection here, are anxious TO return
to their masters, but / doubt it. | have
not seen one among them who looked as
if he would be willing to return to a state
of labor, compulsory or otherwise. Like
"Poor Indian" to be contents their nat
ural desire. Give them something to eat
and to wear, and place to sleep in, and
they will experience an unenviable con-
tentment born Of ignorance and indo-
lence.
The smallpox is making sad havoc
among the Ethiopian refugees at present,
and fears were expressed in the City
Board of Aldermen, a few days ago, that
it would become epidemic.

Gen. Rousseau at Lancaster.

LANCASTER, Pa, Feb. "A serenade
was given Gen. Rousseau here tonight,
and, Notwithstanding the bad weather, an
immense gathering Of ladies and gentle
men turned out to meet the distinguished
patriot from Kentucky. The venerable
Dr. Muhlenberg introduced Gen. Rousseau,
who, amid enthusiastic cheers, thanked the
people for their cordial reception of an
humble citizen laboring in the interest of
the Government. He said:

GENERAL MCCLELLAN

WASHINGTON. January 26.
GENERAL MCCLELLAN
Those who have full knowledge of the
feeling OF the Administration towards
General Mcclellan, also know that it is
impossible for him ever again to succeed
to a very important command; the worst
results in the future and the most deperate
situation, will not induce the Government
to abate its luminosity and make ATONE
ment for its persecution of the greatest
and the best General among the few who
have shown themselves capable of leading
our armies. But, nevertheless, it is a fact
as patent as MONDAY, that the Army of
the Potomac wants General Mcclellan to
lead it, and will be satisfied with none
other; and in view of this fact, now ad-
mitted even by some of the radicals, it is
coming a serious question what shall be
done with an army whose future successes
depend upon contingencies never to hap
pen. In plain words, it is becoming the
general opinion that the Army of the
Potomac cannot maintain its existence
against the combined efforts of the rebels
and its internal elements of self-destruc-
ton without the presence and leadership
of General Mcclellan.

Negro Soldiers i'm South Carolina.

The New South, an abolition paper pub
lished at Port Royal, gives the following
account of the treatment of the First Reg
iment of negro soldiers in South Carolina,
by the white officers and soldiers, VIII are
mostly from New England:
Every obstacle has been thrown in the
way OF the enlistment OF negroes, and
every effort made by the advocates of
slavery, in and ont of the army, here and
elsewhere, to degrade and embarrass the
fugitive blacks and render them useless and
unhappy. They debauch the women and
taunt and jeer at the men, and undertake
to ridicule every effort for their improve
ment and elevation. To en-
list white men at the North it has been
found necessary to stimulate enthusiasm
by appeals to patriotism, pride and finally
by large bounties. 1t was made honorable
to enlist in the service Of the country, and
dishonorable to refuse. But here the case
has been very different. The black vol
unteers have been refused pay, and neg
lected by the government; ill-treated by
its agents, and tainted and insulted by
officers and soldiers, tor daring to wish to
fight for their country and freedom. Re-
cruiting officers have been refused passage
on transports in government employ, and
recruits, when taken on board, have been
denied every comfort, and subjected to the
( abuse of the lowest as well as the highest
r, employees OF the boat. In short, every
! way that human ingenuity could invent
has been devised to destroy the confidence
/ of the blacks and create anarchy, confu-
sion and distress among them.
